The Continentel Hotel.

Lu Jiehe hed cried for e long time while sitting et the hotel entrence end her eyes were ell puffed up.

The doormen didn't know whet to do with her. “Miss, if you went to cry, could you sit et the flower bed etthe side end cry? You're effecting the hotel's imege by crying et the mein entrence.”

Lu Jiehe choked through her teers end seid, “I'm not doing this on purpose. I deted my boyfriend for ewhole three yeers. How could he dump me for e rich girl? No... I'm going to go in end confront him!”

Undeniably, Jiang Xinghe was outstanding by all measures. But what could she do? After the first timeshe met Fu Lingye, her heart was stolen by him.

No matter how outstanding Jiang Xinghe was, he would never be able to pull on her heartstrings.

Fu Lingye looked like he was really looking forward to her answer, so Mu Tongrui decided to take thisrare opportunity to keep him in suspense.

After all, it was usually him teasing her and she rarely got the chance to tease him.

“If I say that... Jiang Xinghe is more handsome than you, would you be very mad?”

“What do you think?”

Fu Lingye's face was stoic and his eyes were ice-cold. His tone sounded casual yet terrifying at thesame time.

Mu Tongrui recoiled and wrapped her hands around his neck with a smile on her face. She buried herface into his arms and said, “I don't know about other people, but in my eyes, my Lingye will always bethe most handsome.”

After saying that, Mu Tongrui got goosebumps all over her body.

Even though that was what she truly thought.

But, wasn't it too corny?

However, it seemed like Fu Lingye really liked it. The depressed undertones in his eyes vanished as ajovial expression appeared on his face. He then said, “Yeah, I'm free this Friday afternoon, so let's go

get the marriage certificate at the Civil Affairs Bureau.”

He couldn't possibly let her not have an official title as his wife while she was pregnant.

Fu Lingye was a completely traditional man, but the way he met Mu Tongrui was a total departure fromthe way he formed all his other interpersonal relationships.

However, once he had decided to be with a woman, it will be for a lifetime.

However, she had the right to know some things before they are officially husband and wife.

For example, his schizophrenia.

Mu Tongrui's heart raced. “Are you serious? I hope you're not marrying me just because I'm pregnant.”

“I'm not someone who likes to settle for less.”

Mu Tongrui instinctively smiled wide.

Her small hand grabbed onto his big hand. She stroked his slender fingers and touched his empty ringfinger.

Should she buy Fu Lingye a ring?

...

The Continental Hotel.

Lu Jiahe had cried for a long time while sitting at the hotel entrance and her eyes were all puffed up.

The doorman didn't know what to do with her. “Miss, if you want to cry, could you sit at the flower bed atthe side and cry? You're affecting the hotel's image by crying at the main entrance.”

Lu Jiahe choked through her tears and said, “I'm not doing this on purpose. I dated my boyfriend for awhole three years. How could he dump me for a rich girl? No... I'm going to go in and confront him!”

Lu Jiahe stood up with a huff and angrily rushed into the hotel.

The doorman had seen her cry at the doorstep for an hour, so he truly pitied her and didn't stop herfrom going in. He just wanted her to stop crying at the entrance.

...

Not long after Lu Jiahe entered, the receptionist of the hotel welcomed a respected guest.

“Young Master Jiang!”

Jiang Xinghe had changed out of his scrubs and was wearing a black windbreaker. As he stood therein his handsome outfit, he was truly a sight to behold.

“Go check the room number for Su Wan and Chi Jun.”

The receptionist was taken aback. “Young Master Jiang, this... this is the customer's privacy.”

“Jiang Investments has many shares in various hotels in Bei City. If I remember correctly, this hotel isone of them.”

The receptionist trembled with fear. She immediately said with a shaking voice, “Young Master Jiang,I'll check right now. Please wait for a moment.”

...

When Lu Jiahe rushed to that room, she realized that the room number was actually 520.

Hmph, they even purposely picked a room with the number 520. Chi Jun was quite good at beingromantic, huh!

Knock knock knock!

Lu Jiahe banged on the door forcefully. “Chi Jun! You better open up! You better explain to me what'shappening!”

Chi Jun, who was inside, was very impatient. He pulled the door open, furrowed his brows, and saidmeanly, “Lu Jiahe, what aren't you clear about? I thought I was being quite clear when I said I wasgoing to be engaged to Su Wan. I didn't invite you to my birthday today. But since you came on yourown accord, I shall use this opportunity to make you give up.”

After hearing his heartless words, Lu Jiahe's tears fell uncontrollably. She clumsily wiped her tears,gritted her teeth, and said, “Since you want to get engaged to this Ms. Su, why didn't you break up withme earlier? Chi Jun, you are two-timing!”

That heiress called Su Wan walked over in high heels and put her hand on Chi Jun's arm. She smiledand said to Lu Jiahe, “Lu Jiahe, you are the one who's refusing to let Chi Jun go, so how could you saythat Chi Jun was two-timing? Chi Jun told me that he never liked or accepted you. It was you who wentaround claiming that you were Chi Jun's girlfriend. Girls should be a little more reserved, or it's easy tobecome leftover goods that no one wants.”

Lu Jiahe's face flushed red then white. She clenched her fists as she bit her lip in resentment.

Chi Jun saw her pitiful expression and felt a little sorry for her. He softened his tone and said, “Lu Jiahe,you should go now. Tonight, I'm planning to propose to Wan.”

Lu Jiahe wasn't blind, of course she saw the piles of balloons in the suite behind them and the bouquetof roses on the king-size bed.

Lu Jiahe slapped Chi Jun's face forcefully. “I'll take it as I was blind for these three years! Chi Jun! Weare done! You didn't dump me! I dumped you!”

Su Wan glared at her angrily. “Who said you could hit Chi Jun? Lu Jiahe, are you out of your mind!”

Lu Jiahe pulled off the couple necklace from her neck and threw it on Chi Jun. “Also you can have thisshitty necklace back!”

“Jiahe...”

Chi Jun felt sorry for her and was going to pull her over, but at this moment, Su Wan overbearinglysaid, “Lu Jiahe, you're disturbing Chi Jun and me! You better scram!”

“Ms. Su, since you like such a bastard, feel free to help yourself! However, Ms. Su, you better makesure a girl from a richer family doesn't appear, otherwise, Chi Jun might abandon you withouthesitation!”

“You!”

Su Wan raised her hand to hit Lu Jiahe. Lu Jiahe was about to duck when she suddenly heard a chillymale voice. “Lu Jiahe, we agreed to go out for dinner tonight, so why are you here disturbing somebodyelse's proposal?”

The voice was cold and a little reprimanding, but it was also full of affection.

Lu Jiahe froze and blankly turned to see the man walking towards her.

Hades Jiang?

Wasn't he on duty at the hospital? Why was he here?

Lu Jiahe's brain was fuzzy. She was still trying to understand the reason Jiang Xinghe was here when agiant hand wrapped around her waist.

Chi Jun's gaze was in shock at first, then angry. “Lu Jiahe, you said I was two-timing! When did you gettogether with this guy then!”

Lu Jiahe was about to explain, but then she thought, why should she explain herself to a bastard whoabandoned her for a rich girl?

Lu Jiahe suddenly switched from sobbing uncontrollably to smiling cheerily. She raised her headtowards Jiang Xinghe and said, “Why do you have such double standards? Chi Jun, let me tell you,Jiang Xinghe is a hundred times more brilliant than you! At most, you're just a kept boy! But my JiangXinghe is a good Samaritan! He's a hero! Chi Jun, listen up, I was just playing games with you. Who Iactually like is Jiang Xinghe!”

Chi Jun got even more agitated after hearing Lu Jiahe condemn him and call him worthless. “Lu Jiahe,don't joke with me! You're putting on a show for me, aren't you?”

“Why would I put on a show for you! Are you blind? Don't you see how my Jiang Xinghe is taller, morehandsome, and more charming than you? Why would I abandon this brilliant man for a two-timingbastard like you?”

Then, Lu Jiahe turned around, tip-toed, wrapped her arms around Jiang Xinghe's neck, pulled down hishandsome face, and kissed him directly on the lips.
