    The banquet was held in a vi, which was pretty lively. As soon as they walked in, all kinds of people

    greeted Zed. Jean was wearing a smile on her face all the time but she did not know anyone here. It


    was embarrassing and boring.


    Wearing a dress which was one size smaller and a pair of 12 centimeters high heels, Jean felt like she


    was propped up. Her waist was strangled and her feet were very ufortable. Words could not


    describe her suffering.


    "Zed Qi, can I go outside to have a rest?"


    Jean whispered to Zed when he was finally avable.


    "What--did you call me?"


    Zed swirled the wine ss in his hand and seemed displeased with how she just called him just now.


    "Honey, my feet hurt so much..."


    Her fists were clenched but her face remained smiling when she looked at him.


    "Okay." Zed nodded with satisfaction and leaned over to stroke her hair with his broad hand repeatedly,


    as if he was patting a pet. "Go ahead. Don''t linger too long, or my efforts spent on choosing your dress


    and shoes will go in vain."


    What?


    He was the one who picked the one size smaller dress and the shoes!


    No wonder they were so ufortable. He did it on purpose.


    Her face turned red from holding back her anger. It was an amusing sight.


    "Mr. Qi, it''s been a long time!"


    "Mr. Wen, how have you been?"


    When Jean was about to go mad, someone came over to chat with Zed. She held back her rage and


    turned around to walk out of the hall with her teeth clenched.


    The garden in the backyard of the vi was a lot quieter. Looking around, Jean did not see anyone so


    she sat down on the stone bench and took off her high heels. Her insteps and heels were already


    bruised.


    "Ow..." She could not help but cry out when she touched the wounds.


    When she heard voices closing in, she took her shoes and hid into the garden in fear of damaging


    Zed''s pride if people were to spot her being barefooted. She squatted behind a neatly trimmed


    evergreen tree and waited.


    "When Ethan Lei arrives, have him drink this and follow the n after that."


    Ethan Lei...


    The name was familiar to her. Her chest tightened as memories shed in her head. A burning


    sensation courses within her, she could feel the violent pain clinging to her heart.


    She peeked out and saw a man and a woman standing on the stairs. The woman was holding two


    sses of drink while the man dropped a pill into one of them after making sure the coast was clear.


    The man left, leaving the woman on the stairs by herself. She seemed to be waiting for someone.


    ''What on earth did that man put into the drink, rohypnol?


    What are they nning to do to Ethan?''


    "Whatever. I am not here to meddle..." She reminded herself the reason she was here as she prepared


    to leave.


    "Mr. Lei, there you are."


    "Mandy, I heard you were looking for me."


    Upon hearing Ethan''s voice again after two years, Jean stopped dead in her tracks. Biting her lips


    slightly, she could not help but sneak a peek.


    No matter how much time had passed, Jean would not forget what happened between them. The man


    in her sight was as handsome and elegant as she remembered though he seemed more matured at


    this moment.


    "I do have something to talk about but let''s have a drink first. It''s your favorite tequ. I made it myself!"


    With that, Mandy passed the spiked drink to him.


    Ethan took the drink but he wasn''t eager to drink it. He merely swirled it.


    "So what''s wrong?"


    Seeing that he didn''t drink it, Mandy Chen felt a little anxious. She tried her best to stay calm, "I know


    that yourpany is looking for a spokesperson for your new product. Do you think I''m qualified for it?"


    Jean recognized the voice of the woman with a curvy figure. She''s an inte celebrity who got famous


    for posting erotic photos on Instagram. When Jean saw her trending once, she couldn''t help but check


    her out. Her figure was, without a doubt, attractive.


    "A spokesperson? Mandy, are you kidding me? We always used male celebrities as the spokespersons


    for the shavers of ourpany."


    Jean who was squatting among the bushes couldn''t hold back her urge tough. The Lei Group was


    the leader in male electronics. Mandy really knew how to fool around.


    "Huh, I was kidding. Did you take it seriously? Let''s drink." Mandy was embarrassed but she made a


    quicke back.


    Jean suddenly remembered the drug. Mandy''s aim wasn''t to get hired as a spokesperson.


    The drink was spiked and of all the people here, why did it have to be Ethan?


    Forget about it.


    "Don''t drink it!"


    Jean stood up from the bushes and shouted at Ethan loudly.


    Psst...


    Her tight dress was torn from the waistline to the hemline by the freshly trimmed branches.


    "Ah!" Jean quickly crouched down while holding her dress together.


    It didn''t ur to Mandy that there was people hiding among the bushes. Her face turned pale and her


    hand began to tremble fiercely whilst holding her ss. The woman warned Ethan not to drink so she


    must have known that his drink was spiked. Afraid of being exposed, she turned tail to look for her


    agent.


    Ethan inched to the bushes. He looked down to the woman who was crouching there, "Jean, is that


    you?"


    Jean bit her lips and didn''t make a sound.


    "Are you all right?" Ethan said as he took off his coat and handed it to her, "Is your dress torn? Cover it


    with this. I''ll help you out."


    Jean saw that her dress was already half torn. It was one size smaller to begin with so it would be a


    futile attempt to try and pull them together. She had no choice but to ept his offer. Jean wrapped it


    over her dress and stood up slowly.


    Jean did not expect their reunion would be under these circumstances. It was beyond embarrassing!


    "It is you."


    After getting a good look at Jean, Ethan was surprised how much she had changed. Jean had be


    more pleasing, elegant and even more feminine than she was two years ago.


    "Your drink was drugged. I--I saw it."


    She stuttered.


    Ethan looked at the drink that he was holding. He threw it into the trash can and immediately held out


    his hand to Jean, "Come on."


    Her hands were sweating profusely. She didn''t feel good at the moment. How could he be so calm after


    all these years?


    It was as though nothing had happened between them.


    She ignored Ethan''s hand and walked out of the bushes. Noticing her reddish feet, Ethan crouched


    down and lifted her up.


    The sudden action startled Jean as she froze stiff in his arms.
