Feng Ci left the reception with a satisfied grin on her face. 

That woman had refused to relent no matter what she offered. Who was she acting all righteous for? She would deal with her later. 

It was not that she was at a loss—she, Feng Ci, was never at a loss. She just didn't want to let the receptionist off. What would that say about her pride? But in actual fact, she should thank her. Because of her adamant refusal, she had thought of a better plan to get closer to Xiehan. 

She went to her room, ordered for a few adjustments to be made to suit her comfort then went to the bathroom. She added rose petals into her water and soaked for half an hour. She only left the tub when she was feeling calm enough and changed into a beautiful nightgown. 

"How can any man reject a woman like me? I'm so beautiful." She gushed as she looked herself in the full length mirror. No matter what pose she made, it showed just how beautiful she was. Her body was too perfect to be turned down by any man. Was Ji Xiehan blind? 

An idea struck her mind. Perhaps she should make him a little jealous? That might just ignite the feelings she knew must be hidden deep in his heart. After all, that was the nature of many menーthey would not know just how much they love a woman until they lost her. 



Room 3507

Unaware of what Feng Ci was thinking of her new boyfriend and not caring about it either, Lanni dragged him all the way back to their room. 

As soon as the door shut, Xiehan pinned her against it and pressed his lips onto hers. He kissed her slightly roughly and impatiently, and it was not long before he started tugging at the zipper of her dress. "I've been waiting to do this for ages." 

"It was just two hours." Li Lanni laughed as she gently pushed him off her. 

"Honey…" He spoke up to complain. 

"I'll take a shower first." She pressed a tiny peck at the corner of his mouth as though to pacify him. 

"But I don't mind." Their lips connected as soon as he grabbed her and pressed her back against the door. 

Lanni had to use up a fair amount of restraint to push him away again. "But I mind." 

Before he could continue, she made a beeline for the bathroom, and then suddenly rushed back for something. 

She picked the plastic bag she had dropped on the floor when they started kissing. "Be good, I won't be long." She said both to him and the little man that was already awake in his pants then rushed back to the bathroom and shut the door. 

Ji Xiehan went to sit on the bed, slight disappointment creeping in. He had wanted to take a peek at what she had bought when she went to the bathroom, but then she remembered to take it with her. She was being so mysterious. Just what was it? 

He lay back on the bed to wait for her to finish her bath. While he was still waiting, his phone rang. 

The caller ID gave him a bad premonition. Why the hell would Feng Ci be calling him at this time of the night? Without thinking, he hung up. It rang again just a few seconds later. He wanted to ignore the call or simply hang up again, but he had a nagging feeling. What if it was something important? He hesitantly received it. 

"Help me!" Feng Ci cried. Ji Xiehan heard nothing else before the line went dead. That was strange...

He had a sudden thought. Had she been attacked?

This was a foreign country and Feng Ci probably knew no one but him here. Besides, even if she knew anyone else, it was late at night and he was closest to her. If anything happened to her, she would logically think of him first. 

He was not heartless enough to ignore anyone's call for help even if he disliked that person. He looked in the direction of the bathroom. Lanni was still bathing, so he grabbed his phone in case she looked for him, and left the room. 



He rang the doorbell twice but there was no response. He tried to push it a little and it opened. 

"Ahー!" A muffled cry for help resounded from the bathroom, followed by a series of clatter.

Ji Xiehan's first reaction was to rush over in panic. Alas, as soon as he entered the bathroom, something tripped him and the next thing he knew, he had fallen on top of Feng Ci. 

"Are you crazy?" He hollered, quickly getting up and glaring at the woman on the floor. 

She had tears in her eyes as she sniffled. "I hurt my leg while leaving the bathroom. The walls are sound proof so no one would hear me, so I could only call you." 

Ji Xiehan turned and left the bathroom, leaving the room without checking whether her leg was indeed hurt. It couldn't be real anyway. How would she explain tripping him? That she was on the floor and it was her fault for not seeing her? 

Indeed, that was how Feng Ci was going to explain it. She was not even hurt to begin with. That was part of her plan. She had lain on the floor and called him. She knew that he was not cruel enough to ignore a call for help. Taking advantage of this, she faked a situation that would make it sound like she was in danger. 

Heaven knew how delighted she was when she heard the door open. However, she did not hear the sound of rushed footsteps as she had expected. She grabbed a bottle of essential oil and screamed before smashing it onto the floor. 

As expected, he rushed in and she was prepared for this. She was also prepared for how she would explain the whole situation. Once he took a glance at her legs, he would not care about it being an obvious lie. Because he would lose control of himself. 

Her nightgown was short and s.e.xy with red little flowers covering some of the parts revealed by the lacy material. With her position on the floor, she was even more alluring. No man would be able to hold back. Besides, the material of the night gown was so delicate that it tore as soon as Ji Xiehan fell on top of her. 

The bang of the bathroom door brought her back to her senses. He left? He actually walked out? How could he not even spare her a glance? She rushed out of the bathroom just to see him disappearing out of her room. 

"Is he really a man?" 

_

Ji Xiehan had never been so angry in his life. How could that woman trick him into her room? He had thought that no matter how crazy time had turned her, she would never fake an emergency. 

Then again, he was the stupid one. He knew that she was insanely set on seducing him yet he went to her room and right into her trap like an idiot. He really wanted to bang his head on something. 

Lanni was drying her hair when he walked in. 

"There you are. I was wondering where you went to this late." 

Ji Xiehan sat on the bed and contemplated. If he told her the truth, she would probably be mad at him. 

"Did something happen?" She was concerned when she saw his nervous look. 

"I went to Feng Ci's room just now." 

Lanni's eyes flew open. "You did what?" 

"She tricked me." Ji Xiehan explained; disgusted by what she did. He went ahead and explained exactly what happened, not leaving out anything. 

Just when he thought she was going to get angry, she jumped onto him, hugging his waist. "Thank you." 

"T-thank you?" Why would she be thanking him? Shouldn't she get mad at him, hearing that her boyfriend just went to another woman's room? 

"Thank you for telling me the truth." She met his gaze seriously. "Many men would have chosen to give an excuse, knowing that the woman would be jealous or upset." 

He held her closely. "I was about to do that too, honestly." 

Lanni was not surprised by that. If she was in his shoes, who knew what she would have done. "But why did you change your mind?" 

"Because my love, I don't want to ever lie to you." Because once a small lie is told, one might have to lie again to cover it up. He wanted their relationship to be built on full trust. 

Lanni pulled away from him with a snicker. "You say you have never lied to me? Then what about those sly methods you used to get me engaged to you, do you think I never found out?" 

Ji Xiehan coughed. He couldn't deny that. But, "Honey, whatever a man does to gain the interest of the woman he loves should be excused as long as he doesn't go overboard, don't you think?"
