She was crazy to find out the past about him and his childhood love.

  For instance, Rong Xuan had described them as childhood sweethearts. What an intimate term!

  This proved that both were very close when they were little.

  One was twelve whereas the other was ten when migration separated them, but how close was their relationship that made her man, who was typically averse to the opposite sex, accept the other woman’s emotional embrace with no slightest push back?

  That woman still seemed to hold a torch for him when they met again after being separated for more than a decade; as for him, she did not know whether his unperturbed look was indeed so or he was hiding feelings surging in his heart.

  She dared not think further all of a sudden!

  When a woman truly loved a man deeply, she would hope to be the one and only in his life. To put it even more radically, she would even hope to be his destined lover.

  The appearance of this childhood lover disrupted her peace of mind!

  She was not so confident, after all.

  The more such things happened, the more disillusioned she felt. She was, perhaps, insecured; therefore, she desperately wanted to know his feelings for Rong Xuan.

  Just as her thoughts were running wild through the quilt, she could hear him getting up from the bed suddenly. She then heard him striding slowly to the balcony door and opening it. She was somewhat surprised and despondent.

  The man had finally lost his patience with her!

  He seemed to have a hard time trying to pacify her.

  She could not help feeling jealous!

  Earlier, Rong Xuan said that when she used to feel down and aggrieved, he would patiently and tenderly keep by her side to coax and pamper her, even singing a song to her!

  What about her?

  Previously at a KTV bar, when she asked him to sing, he looked so reluctant that not one song came out from him despite numerous pleas from her.

  What an injustice!

  The thought threw her into despondency.

  As for now, she was just acting petty with him. If he had been patient and coaxed her a while more, she would not be so hard to please.

  Feeling disappointed, she lifted the quilt to hear the man’s calm and steady voice coming from the balcony.

  “Xuanxuan, I have something to say to you.”


  When she heard that, the expression on her face changed instantly. She crept surreptitiously toward the balcony, peeped at the back of the man standing there through the floor-to-ceiling window, and wrinkled her brows in confusion.

  “I’ll cancel tomorrow’s trip.”


  “Why?!” On the other end, Rong Xuan exclaimed in surprise. “Brother Zhe, wasn’t it agreed before? Don’t tell me that you no longer want to go to the royal palace to take wedding pictures?”


  “There’s no need to go to such great lengths,” replied the man in an unhurried and off-handed manner.

  “Why is this considered fussy?” The woman on the other end smiled, then explained in a hurry, “Many people want to go to the king’s palace to shoot pictures but are unqualified to enter. As for you, the grand palace is yours to walk through with ease with just a word from me.”


  The man replied, “If I really want to go in, there’s no particular need to go through you.”
