In the car, Lihua's gaze looked outside the window but she was in her own world still wondering what happened in the mall. She wanted to think that that strange woman was just a crazy person who misunderstood her. But something about her bothered her. She couldn't get her image out of her mind.

  Wei nervously peeked at Lihua, afraid if she remembered anything. Since they stepped in the car, she had hardly spoken anything, making him even more fidgety.

  He held her hand in his and softly asked, "Are you hungry? You didn't have a proper lunch in the restaurant."

  She looked at him and shook her head. "I am not hungry. I am still thinking about that woman…"

  He stiffened. "Why? Don't think. She misunderstood you," he quickly said.

  "But she looked so confident. Why would she misunderstand me as a cat? Lihua is our cat's name, isn't it?"

  His brow slightly twitched.

  "And you know, when she cried and hugged me…… something felt weird in my chest. I felt as if I didn't want to see her cry. I don't know why she was so stubborn. But I felt uncomfortable seeing her so sad. It looked like she was really desperately looking for her friend."

  A suffocating feeling crept into his chest. He didn't want to hear talking about Meng Ya anymore. Today's incident made him realize that he had gotten quite lax about her security. It was Meng Ya today. Tomorrow it could be Mrs. Zhang or someone else from her college.

  I cannot be so careless from now on…


  Lihua looked at Wei and asked, "I wonder why I felt that way about her. What do you think, Wei?"

  He seemed to not listen to her as he stared ahead in a daze. "Wei?" She patted his hand.

  He glanced at her. "What?"

  "Where were you lost? Hehe, I should punish my hubby for not paying attention," she grinned.

  Wei raised his brow and pulled her into his lap. "How will you punish me?" He raised her chin and leaned forward, huskily whispering near her lips.

  She blushed and pushed him away. "You-you! We are in the car! Don't act naughty now."

  He held the back of her head and crashed his lips on hers into a deep kiss. "We can be naughty anywhere. Home, office, car - wherever we want."

  "You…"

  The car stopped and as Lihua looked outside, she widened her eyes seeing a lavish mansion. "Where are we?"

  "Yang mansion. We have to take back our cat, right?"

  She beamed. "Oh yes! Our cute furry friend! I hope she is okay now. Let's go!"

  Honestly, Wei didn't want to bring her here and talk about Lihua anymore. But after seeing Meng Ya today, he wasn't sure if her presence affected her or not. He could be in a big problem if it triggered her memories——

  Yang Bingqing was bored sitting at home. She sighed for the hundredth time now.

  "Cheng Cheng, are you listening to me? If we had a daughter-in-law, I wouldn't be so bored right now. When will Mingshen marry and give us a daughter-in-law? And then a grandchild too? With a cute grandson or granddaughter, I will have so much to do! But our idiot son is busy with nothing but his hideous experiments!"

  Yang Cheng listened to his wife's grievance for the hundredth time now. His stern face had no expression but inwardly he cursed his own son for making his life difficult.

  She glared at him indignantly. "It's all because of you! Your son inherited your traits and knows nothing but to coop himself inside his lab!"

  His mouth twitched.

  Yang Cheng was a doctor just like Mingshen and in his days, he was the most famous Underworld doctor whose name spread even abroad. He was also dedicated to his research which was a trait clearly passed on to his son.

  "He is twenty-eight already! When will he marry? Only two more years until he will step into his thirties. Thirties! Do you know how serious this is!" She fumed in anger.

  "Don't worry so much-"

  "How can I not worry?" Her nostrils flared. "Do you know what he said the last time? He wants a woman who will allow him to cut her up! What kind of a crazy fetish is that! If he says that to a woman or his blind date, she will just run away from him! Who will tolerate a maniac as her husband?"

  Yang Cheng coughed hard.

  Calling her own son a maniac……

  "And if every woman runs away, he will remain single for his entire life! What about my daughter-in-law and grandchild?" She sobbed. "Will we get old and die without seeing either of them?"

  Yang Cheng rubbed his forehead. He didn't know what to do to appease his wife.

  Somebody please come and help me…


  As if his prayers were answered, two figures stepped in.

  "Oh, Wei!" Yang Bingqing clapped her hands once in happiness. "What a pleasant surprise."

  He nodded at the couple.

  Her sharp gaze immediately shifted to Lihua. She studied her up and down and her eyes brightened. "Oh my!"

  She hurriedly walked up to her and held her hand. "You are so pretty!"

  Lihua was surprised but her kind words made her heart bloom in joy. "Thank you……um…"

  "I am Yang Bingqing. You can call me Aunt. Wei's Jiang and our Yang families are really close."

  "Oh. Thank you, Aunt Yang," she politely smiled.

  "Ah, such a well-mannered girl. Come, come. Sit beside Aunt."

  Wei was left alone just like that. He thought that he would have to introduce her to the elder Yang couple, but she was already taken away from his side. His lips pursed seeing his wife so distant. Yang Cheng narrowed his eyes.

  Yang Bingqing pulled her hand and made her sit on the couch beside her. "What is your name? How old are you? Are you single?"

  Yang Cheng coughed. "Bingqing…"

  Lihua rapidly blinked her eyes at her. "Huh?"
