He hadn’t touched a drop of alcohol, yet it felt like he had blacked out from drinking too much. Everything about last night was hazy. The grand engagement party for Zhou Yang and Ji An’an, the scarred man who’d shaken him to his core. It all blurred together. The only thing he could remember clearly was Ji Mingxuan rolling up his sleeves and getting into a fight, and that kiss under the moonlight. Shen…

by Slashh-XO — Ji An'an did not quite catch what Shen Mo said. She continued, "Actually, I do not like Zhou Yang’s cousin very much either. But Aunt Zhou look after her relatives, so there is not much we can do. No matter what kind of background he has, as long as we stay out of his way, it will be fine." Shen Mo replied, "Yes."

"He always has been,"…
