Ye Youyou choked on her soy milk and began coughing violently. Her small face turned a dark shade of red.

Li Jinnan watched her. As if surprised by her extreme reaction, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “Did I say something wrong?”

Ye Youyou quickly recomposed herself. With clenched teeth, she ground out, “You’re the adulterous one!”

Li Jinnan gazed at her when he heard that and shook his head lightly. In a somber tone, he said, “No, I’m the illicit one.”

Ye Youyou was rendered speechless. She took a fierce bite out of her dough fritter with a firm resolve not to speak to him anymore.

After breakfast, Li Jinnan wiped his lips, and said, “Pack up your bags. Let’s go.”

Ye Youyou was exasperated. “I’m not done with my vacation!”

“I’m your boss. My word is the law here,” he said.

She had rejected him twice. This was the third time, and he was still persisting. Ye Youyou was utterly annoyed.

She clenched her jaw and mumbled, “What you’re doing is oppressing an employee!”

Li Jinnan didn’t look at all like a man who felt he was exploiting an employee. He gazed at her meaningfully and said, “I changed it to a different form of oppression.”

Ye Youyou was disconcerted. Before the meaning of his words could sink in, she asked, “What?”

“Would you like me to demonstrate how?” Li Jinnan asked as he strode up to her.

Realization suddenly dawned on Ye Youyou. She immediately took a step back and objected, “That’s not necessary!”

Li Jinnan stopped in his tracks and declared solemnly, “Anytime it’s necessary, just say the word.” With that, he suddenly scrutinized her face as if something had appeared on it and exclaimed, “Why is your face so red? What are you thinking of?”

This is the behavior of a thug!

Ye Youyou’s face reddened even more. She ground out between her clenched teeth, “Nothing at all!”

She turned around with a huff and marched into her bedroom, slamming the door shut behind her. She even bolted it noisily for good measure.

Li Jinnan was in high spirits. The corners of his mouth turned up in a smile as he sat on the couch waiting for his good news.

Shen Residence, the Capital.

It had been another day of tossing and turning in bed without being able to fall asleep. Yu Lili held the mobile phone in her hand as she checked the date. It was three days away from her wedding day.

The next day, she would be able to return to Kingstown and secretly move back into her father’s home. She would wait for Ou Ming fetch her and happily assume the role of his bride.

She had stayed in the Shen Residence for quite some time. Whenever Yu Lili closed her eyes, all she could see in her mind was Ou Ming’s face.

They had been separated for no reason for so many days. This separation made Yu Lili’s heart ache. She had to restrain herself from just flying over to Kingstown to meet him and hold him.

At the thought that she was only a few days away from finally meeting him, Yu Lili’s heart was filled with anticipation and a tinge of nerves.

Just as she was about to give Ou Ming a call, there was a knock on her door.

“Lili, may I come in?” It was Shen Manting’s voice.

Yu Lili sat up immediately and replied, “Come in!”

Shen Manting quickly entered. When she saw that Yu Lili’s room was in a mess, and that her face was flushed with excitement, she giggled and asked, “You’re going back to Kingstown tomorrow. Are you happy?”

“Of course I am!” Yu Lili replied excitedly without hesitation. “I’ll need to go and try on my wedding dress. I don’t know if I’ve put on any weight over the past few days. What if I can’t fit into my dress? I’m going a day before to avoid any unpleasant surprises.”

Shen Manting nodded her head and said, “Congratulations. Why don’t I go back to Kingstown with you tomorrow afternoon? I’ll be able to prepare to be your bridesmaid.”

“Sure!” Yu Lili’s smile broadened. She casually looked at Shen Manting’s neck as she commented, “You seem to have put on weight recently! Your face is all round!”

The smile on Shen Manting’s face froze. She looked down as she said, “Yeah, I’ve been eating a little too much recently.”

“I don’t think so,” Yu Lili said “Your appetite hasn’t seemed good over the last few days, and your complexion looks bad. Are you not feeling well?”
