Lu Mengjie knew what was coming the moment she arrived at the place. Steward Fang was in panic and she received a call from Bai Keran concerning the 'kidnapping' of her son. She could have acted broken but she didn't and instead, she headed directly to her room.

Han Yizhou told her that he was planning to take her out of the family but ever since she left the hospital, he never contacted her. She already expected it but she still couldn't help but feel disappointed. Now, all she had to do was to do things on her own but before that.. she tried contacting her husband on his WeChat.

It was ringing and ringing, with no one answering. She could only sigh in disappointment. Yong Liwei must be in control, ignoring her once again. Just when she was about to end her dial, the call went through.

"Hello? Ms. Lu?"

The voice she heard didn't belong to Han Yizhou at all but at the same time, she found a bit of familiarity. It was none other than his assistant, Niu Jiachen.

"Can I talk to Yizhou?" She asked as she sat on the edge of the bed.

The man on the other line was quiet for a few seconds. He was hesitant to continue. "I apologize but that's not possible right now."

"Eh?"

"You see.."

..

The day after Lu Mengjie left Han Yizhou in his hotel, Yong Liwei took advantage by switching out. He knew about Han Yizhou's plan so he didn't waste time by taking the flight back to the mainland.

Despite Han Yizhou's complaints at the back of his head, the other alter couldn't do anything about it but give up. The only time he was able to fight back for control was during the moments where Lu Mengjie was present. She was his only strength.

Arriving in Beijing, Yong Liwei gave his other alter to switch in. Han Yizhou was once again busy with his work in his company but whenever it was about his wife, he would never fail to find and make time for her.

The man was in his office at that time when he suddenly received a call from one of Yong Liwei's women, Wei Sianqi. She was one of Yong Liwei's favorites. Not because she was good in bed but, she was interesting as a person. He had already met her while he was in control of his own body. She was kind and innocent.. in a way. Unlike the outgoing Lu Mengjie, she was a shy person who would easily get flustered by simple things. She was the only woman who Yong Liwei never touched.

He answered the call and pressed the phone against his ear.

"Mr. Yong?" Her soft, sweet voice was heard on the other line.

"What is it?" He replied with a cold tone. He was already ending his contracts with the women he had made contact with and now, it was her turn. He was now a married man with one woman in his heart.

"C-can we meet?" Even if it was just her voice, he could already imagine a trembling hamster before him as she stuttered.

It was a great opportunity for Han Yizhou to end Yong Liwei's contract with her. "Very well."

"I'll message you the address."

After the call ended, he received a message from the woman.

[Yangtze Bridge]

He ended up blinking a few times at what he read. Why are they going to meet there?

A terrible thought entered his mind but he brushed it off. She was not that type of woman.

And so, after leaving a message to his half-brother, Han Xukun, Han Yizhou drove off to meet Wei Sianqi.

"Wait here," he ordered to his driver before he got out of the car.

There he saw Wei Sianqi, leaning against the bridge. She has a short brunette hair with one side bun sticking out on her head. She was looking at the river before her, looking so serene and at the same time, pale.

"Wei Sianqi," he called as he approached her.

The woman turned her head and the moment she saw him, her face brightened up. She smiled ever so sweetly at him. She was like an innocent lamb. Maybe that was what attracted his other alter to her. He would be lying to himself if he denied feeling the same way. She had an aura around her that made someone want to protect her, to hide her from the dirt of this world.

"Mr. Yong!" She rushed to his side and gave him a hug.

Han Yizhou stood still upon the hug and when the woman noticed this, she pulled away. She was kind of used to it since this was his usual reaction whenever she hugged him. She knew that he didn't like being touched but he never pushed her away so she has always thought that she had a special place in his heart.

"Why did you want to meet here?" He looked around. They were standing at the side of the bridge.

"Have you forgotten? This is the first place we met!" She took a step backward before she turned and pointed at the middle of the lake.

"You saved me, remember?"

Han Yizhou's brow twitched. Yes. She was quite right, he saved her from killing herself.

Two years ago, while Han Yizhou was on his way to meet someone, while staring at the window of his car, he noticed a certain woman, sitting at the railing of the bridge. Cars passed by and no one seemed to care until he ordered his driver to pull away on the side. Before the girl could even jump down to her death, he was quick enough to pull her back. That was how they first met.

"If not for you, I might not be able to experience so many new things that you showed me," she chuckled softly.

"Get to the point," he demanded. "I have somewhere else I should be, Wei Sianqi."
