Shangguan Ning had no idea what Min Feng and the others were thinking. She had no interest in knowing about it. After all, they would not need to meet each other in the future, so she forgot about their encounter soon enough.

  But Jing Yichen kept Min Feng in his mind.

  Maybe it was time to get a new principal for the school.

  Jing Yichen stole a look at his wife who apparently didn’t take Min Feng and his fellows seriously and started to think about letting Shangguan Ning become the principal instead?

  Well, better not let her get exhausted. After all, she treated everything seriously and if she became the principal, she would definitely put in a lot of effort into it.

  But Zhao Anan was always free. Maybe she could be the principal instead. In that way, she could be restrained and help lead a disciplined life.

  But Jing Yichen didn’t consider the fact that Zhao Anan could turn the school upside down.

  The couple walked into the restaurant and it turned out that the elegant room of Romance was available.

  Zhao Anan had hired a professional manager to operate the western restaurant, otherwise Victorian would have been shut down if she had been the manager.

  The manager and the waitresses didn’t recognize Jing Yichen, but they all knew Shangguan Ning as their boss’s best friend. Therefore, they all showed a friendly face, gave her a discount and offered them some small desserts.

  Shangguan Ning smiled brightly, and said in a proud tone after the waitress walked out. “See, I am very famous!”


  Jing Yichen shook his head slightly and said smilingly, “Yes, your face works better here than mine.”


  They smiled looking at each other.

  The decoration and ornaments in the elegant room were still the same. The European style classic red chairs, the white rectangle food table as well as the fresh lilies on the table and the candles were all there, placed in the exact same way as they had been, the last time.

  They ordered the exact same thing as they did last time, not because they wanted to be reminded of their first encounter, but because they both liked Sirloin beefsteak.

  Shangguan Ning had a habit of sticking to the things which she found tasty. She would even visit the same restaurant and eat the same food and use the same things if she found them pleasant.

  That she liked sirloin beefsteak had been her habit for years. So she would not choose anything else whenever they ate at a western restaurant.

  Jing Yichen had noticed this habit of hers. He even joked that it was a symbol of long lasting love.

  Both of them were full of emotions sitting here once again.

  They had never expected that they would get married or even become friends on their first meeting.

  “The best thing that Zhao Anan has ever done in her life is to introduce you to me.”


  Jing Yichen picked Shangguan Ning’s hands and placed them on his lips. His melodious voice pierced straight into her heart.

  Shangguan Ning had a bit of a smile on her face too. “That is why even I am happy despite the fact that I was sold. But, judging from your expression, you must have been forced by her to take this blind date with me as well.”


  Jing Yichen laughed and said softly, “Yes, the two old ladies at home and my aunt had been worried about my marriage. They all thought that I was physically ill or preferred men when I had no girlfriends even in my 30s. So they kept testing me in different ways. Even when I was abroad, they would ask different kinds of women to knock at the door of my house.”


  Shangguan Ning couldn’t help but laugh when she heard the story. She was not jealous.

  Jing Yichen must have gotten very annoyed back then. But she knew that Jing Yichen didn’t like being touched by anyone else and didn’t want others to disturb him when he was working.

  “They had already got several women ready for me as blind dates the moment I returned home. But I met no one except for you. It must have been our destiny.”


  Jing Yichen, who always spoke highly of himself and his own ability, suddenly believed in destiny. That was a very surprising thing for him and for everyone around.

  People of Family Jing were always taught to be the master of their own destinies. Jing Yichen, the excellent heir of Family Jing, never believed in destiny or God, only in himself.

  Except when it came to Shangguan Ning.

  He always thought that his encounter with Shangguan Ning was meant to happen.

  Even if Zhao Anan had not introduced her to him, they would have still met each other later. Huang Lihan had introduced Shangguan Ning to Jing Zhongxiu who sent her to Jing Yichen.

  Shangguan Ning, however, had always believed in these intangible things. They met for the first time last winter here and now when they were here again, she was already pregnant with their little baby.

  Shangguan Ning smiled. “Yes, you married me after being only on one blind date. Now there are three of us!”


  The couple were immersed in the memory of the past. They were still talking about the past cheerfully when the beefsteak was served.

  Life was full of different flavors. Some were happy and cheerful, some were agonizing and furious.

  In a villa located on the north side of A City, Shangguan Rouxue was currently lying under Yang Muyan’s feet.

  The beautiful face which Shangguan Rouxue had always been proud of, had been totally ruined by Yang Muyan. But Yang Muyan was still furious and angry.

  Trampling Shangguan Rouxue fiercely, Yang Muyan kept exerting even more pressure, so much that the crushing sound of broken bones echoed across the otherwise silent villa.

  Shangguan Rouxue screamed. She wanted to plead for mercy, but Yang Muyan gave her no chance. Instead, she kept stomping upon her with her high heels.

  “Did you think that I won’t be able to find you just because you are hidden in Family Xie? Haha, Shangguan Rouxue, I can find you even if you were in hell. I will drag you out and toss you to the deepest corner of hell myself. I am more powerful than you think!”


  Yang Muyan had an abnormal redness over her pale face. Her face was twisted and her black eyes were full of resentment and fierceness. Her hoarse voice made her sound like a ghost who sucked life out of people.

  Shangguan Rouxue had no idea what was going on. What she knew was that the moment she had woken up, she found herself in this empty villa. Then, Yang Muyan had started to hurt her like a maniac. She didn’t cease until her face swelled up badly.
