The corner of Ji Ziming's mouth twitched at his mother's question.

Why do I feel suspicious of mom's question?

Can I not answer it?

"…" Looking at his mother, who was calmly sitting on the sofa, all of a sudden, he did not know what to say.

"Aiya! Son, quickly shoot! Didn't you answer my earlier question with Ge Ge's name? Why aren't you answering now when it's this question? Don't tell me… that you're lying earlier?!"

She expressed her doubt when he merely stared at her.

Upon hearing that, he could only sigh helplessly and reply coolly, "Mom, that kind of situation won't ever happen."

"That's why I said 'what if'! What if the both of them fell into the water, who would you rescue first?"

She rolled her eyes as she repeated her question.

"I…" Just as he was about to answer, he was again interrupted by his mother.

"Hold on! Don't tell me that you would save Qiao Jingyun?" She looked at him nervously. She would never forget how rash and flustered her son was when he was rescued from those kidnappers.

He had always been a cold and composed child, but on that particular day, he was especially agitated.

"Quickly rescue her! She's all alone inside; she'll be frightened!

"I want to come with you to rescue her from there!

"She'll die if I don't save her. I told her that I'll return to save her!

"She's still waiting for me. I told her I'll definitely save her! I told her that I'll bring her back…"

That day, he was like a bumbling child and was unlike his cold and composed self, which they loved and hated. What was left was only that ever, burning flame – the flame stoked by that young girl.

The young girl's appearance was like a switch to their son's mood, influencing him to the extent that he was no longer his usual self.

Just as she was glad that her son found a girl who could make him laugh, cry, and go crazy, he slowly returned to his old self.

By the time Qiao Jingyun was discharged from the hospital after her throat treatment, her son had once again turned off that switch controlling his emotions…

"… Yes, I'll save her first."

He nodded lightly and coldly.

"What?! You brat! How could you think of saving her first?!"

Upon hearing his answer, she almost flipped the table. She stared at him in agitation as she lashed out.

"That's right! Pei Ge is your girlfriend!"

Even his father could not keep his silence and frowningly rebuked him.

Seeing how worried his parents were about his girlfriend, he smiled a little.

"Dad, mom, I like Pei Ge, not Qiao Jingyun."

He only gave that answer because he owed that woman his life.

Nonetheless, he did not take his mother's question seriously.

That was because he would not let anybody hurt his girlfriend! Under his close watch, how could such situations, like falling into the water, happen to her?


"I will not let her be placed in harm's way, and if she does, I'll get her out of it."

His reply pacified his parents. Seeing their son's peaceful and confident look, they too understood what he meant.

"Ziming, you'd better remember your words."

Appeased, his mother broke into a smile.

"You… should get along well with her and strive to marry her. It's best that you don't meet that Qiao Jingyun in case Ge Ge misunderstands…"

As he listened to his mother's nagging, he thought of his girlfriend.

What is that stupid woman up to these days?

Alright. The pitiful great CEO did not know that his girlfriend was on the verge of being stolen.



In the darkness of the night, the lights shone so brightly that they made this city look sleepless.

Where the dazzling lights shone stood a man looking at a woman with dark and conflicted eyes.

"Pei Ge, I'm getting married soon…"

She looked at Zhou Zhuoyang mockingly and spoke coldly, "Is that so? Then, you have my congratulations."

"Have you… really stopped caring for me?"

Seeing her detached expression, he could not help but feel depressed.

They were once madly in love with each other.

"Excuse me, Mr. Zhou. You'll soon be taking a wife, while I have a fiancé now. Please don't say things that can be misunderstood, or else somebody may think that I'm getting between a marriage to steal my cousin's husband," replied Pei Ge in a steely voice. She looked at the man with disdain.

That was right. They were once madly in love with each other. She used to think that he would be her support, but look at how things turned out?

In the end, he betrayed their love and disappeared from her world out of the blue. When he was back again, he had become her future cousin-in-law.

How unbelievable!

"What? You have a fiancé?!" he exclaimed.

"Why, Mr. Zhou? You're allowed to have a fiancée, so why can't I have a fiancé?

Under the influence of alcohol, she picked a quarrel with him. If she were sober, she… would likely choose not to say anything and turn to leave.

"I didn't mean it that way. It's just that I… just that I…"

He suddenly did not know how to explain himself to her when he saw the disdain on her face.

Looking at her mocking expression, all the words that he wanted to say got condensed into—

"Pei Ge, the woman in my heart has always been you. It has never changed. If you tell me… tell me… that you don't want me to marry Pei Shishi, I will call off the wedding right this instant!"
