Ji An went up to his room in a hurry and it surprised Cheng Ze when Ji An opened the door and entered his room, "What are you doing here?"
Before there were no beds in the other rooms so she just assumed that it was still the same since he is living on his own and there was no need for extra beds. "Oh! Where should I sleep then?" She was surprised as well.
Cheng Ze laughed and led her to the room next to his and told her that she can stay there for that night and if she will need anything, she could wake him up. He was about to leave her room when he remembered something. "Ji An... Can I—" he paused.
"Hmm... what is it?"
He hesitated and contemplated, "Oh, it's nothing. Goodnight." just as he said that he left and shut her door.
Ji An opened her door quickly and called for his name, "Cheng Ze, your hands... You should at least put an ointment." She bit her lower lip. 'Why did I do that?' "Goodnight!" she closed the door and leaned on it. 'Why do I behave differently around him. I'm mad at him, right? I'm supposed to be furious at him!' she walked to her bed and lied down.
Cheng Ze woke up early and cooked breakfast for both of them. He remembered the last time she was there, she didn't like onions and fish so he avoided those. When Ji An woke up, she realised she didn't call her mother last night and immediately dialled her number and called her. "Ma I'm sorry, I couldn't come home last night and I forgot to call you—"
"Cheng Ze called me last night and he said you are sleeping at his villa and that he will bring you here in the morning. Sofia had her breakfast already so don't worry about her. I'll see you later."
"Thank you, Ma!" Ji An went to the bathroom to wash her face and head downstairs to find Cheng Ze and she saw him at the dining table wearing an apron, "Good morning." She greeted him with a petite smile.
"You're awake! Good morning. Let's have breakfast." His vibe was very different that morning. "I'll take you home after breakfast. I spoke to mothe—" he looked at her, "To your mother already." and took his apron out before he sat down.
"Hmm... She told me. Thank you!" She pulled a chair out and sat down.
The doorbell rang and both of them looked at each other. 'Could it be Li Wei? Is it that important he has to come early.' "I'll go and see who's on the door." Cheng Ze
He was surprised to see the person at the door, "What brought you here?" That was the first sentence that came out of his mouth.
She pouted, "Babe, I miss you so much. I didn't get to see you yesterday you were so busy." Lori hugged him and gave him a kiss on his lips. "What time are you leaving home for work?" she walked inside but Cheng Ze blocked her, "Do you want me to drop you off? Should I take you now?" he doesn't want her to see Ji An and stir trouble.
"I'm not in a hurry though. How about let's eat breakfast first hmm? What do you say?"
"Sure! Let's go!" he led her out of the house quickly before she notices anything else.
Ji An saw everything and felt like a dagger had stabbed her heart and ripped it. 'He must have felt like dying when he saw me in my wedding dress that night.' "I don't regret what happened on my wedding night though." she smiled painfully.
How is she going to eat breakfast now on her own? Cheng Ze's eating out with his fiancee while she doesn't know what to do, whether to throw all the food on the table away, clean it or to just leave it. Instead, she called her mother and asked her if she could send her a car to collect her. Madam Gu understood and sent her driver to pick her up from the villa.
Cheng Ze tried to escape from Lori as fast as he can. The thought of Ji An being alone in his villa worried him. He doesn't want her to eat on her own and he promised her that he will take her back home.
"Cheng Ze, should I set a date for our wedding soon? My parents are bugging me about it. They said I'm getting old and they want grandchildren." Lori gave him a sweet smile.
"I'm busy this coming month, actually I'll be busy until the expansion was approved and ready to go through." He sighed, "How about I'll speak to them and tell them?"
"Do you really want this marriage to happen? You always have an excuse! All I get from you is a kiss on my forehead! Does that make sense? We can sleep together, I'm allowing you to sleep with me, why don't you? We slept together before we even got engaged, what's the difference now? Cheng Ze I have been waiting for you for 5 years? Can you come to me now?" she was so upset and angry, this was the first time she acted like that.
"Lori, I thought you understand? Marriage is a serious matter. I already told you I will marry you. I'm just asking you for a—"
"No! I want to get married as soon as possible. I want to be your top priority! Make me!" she left stomping off and hailed a taxi.
Cheng Ze felt bad for her, but right now, he must go back home immediately. He stood up and left quickly.
