"Pumpkin, is that crazy guy the jerk you have been talking about? Your crazy and possessive ex-boyfriend?"

Vivian did not answer as her eyes were still locking onto the figure of that man who was walking further away from her.

She knew that Li Xiqing was weak against her tears. Her fists were clenched tightly by her side; her feet were debating if she should give him a chase and beg for a second chance.

She saw that Li Xiqing paused his step and her heart felt as if it was also stop beating at that same moment. Viv clenched her fists tighter; burying all ten fingernails deeper into her palm. She anxiously waited for him to turn his head and looked at her for the last time. 

But she was disappointed.

Daniel stopped his steps not because of her. He stopped because he saw a bunch of men harassing a woman who was handing out flyers on the street. He walked over to the burly looking men and told them off. All the time, he stood by the frail looking woman until those rowdy men decided to walk away.

Vivian felt her heart was breaking even more.

The man had always been this warm. And she had lost him. She would never be able to forgive herself for this.

And her tears fell again; slowly flowing over her milky white cheekbones down to her chin.

....

"Pumpkin?"

Raising up one hand, she wiped the tears and quickly adjusted her facial expressions. She glanced at George and slightly bit her lower lips to stop herself from crying more.

She chose this average looking man over Daniel. She should make everything worth it.

Her hands gradually crawled up to her chest and grabbed onto her purse chain that she had swung across her body. She twisted the chain to her side to bring her purse onto her abdomen and open it.

This purse was her most prized possession. The clam shaped bag was made of wild ocean pearls that were hand stitched one by one by hand. The metal that shaped the purse was molded from silver and it was gold plated.

The clasp for the purse was custom-made and to add to the sense of exclusiveness, the brand had allowed the clients to choose their own clasp. Vivian had decided on a 'crown' shape with two emerald gemstones for their auspicious meaning.

From a glance, the purse looked like a normal white pearl handbag.

But when one looked closely, they could see the rainbow gradation of white and pink around the pearls. Different bead of natural pearl had its own original color, making each bag produced to be the only one unique bag in the world.

George had gifted this to her when he first courted her.

This bag was also the reason why she had decided to two-time Daniel. Because she knew that George and his family background would be the one who was able to give her a comfortable life.

Her thumbs were rubbing the emerald absentmindedly before she opened the clasp and took out a facial tissue from it.

"I'm fine, just ignore th- the crazy guy, pudding," Vivian said as she gave a weak smile, "I was just shocked, that's all."

George looked at her tear-stained face in doubt; his heart started to hesitate and his mind was playing the words of that man over and over in his head.

But before he could digest more, Vivian wrapped both arms around the man's waist, "Pudding, let's go eat the famous Ghirardelli ice cream, and then let's go back to our apartment, hm?" She pressed her body closer; leaning all of her weight onto him.

"I feel that..." She raised one finger and made a circle on his tummy, "this weather is perfect for snuggles?" As she finished, she rested her chin on the man's chest and then looked up at him with her big, round eyes.

Vivian was looking like an innocent Parisian doll right now; because she was just crying, so her eyes were misty and dewy looking. His eyes traveled down from her bewitching eyes to her busty cleavage.

George gulped with difficulties as his mind started to think of how she would taste when he buried his face in between her ample bosom.

....

Shanghai. Present time.

"So... Did you confront her about this?"

Li Xiqing paused his steps and turned to the side to look at her, "I was planning to but then..." and then he scoffed in disgust, "I saw them with my own eyes."

Shao Yan saw how he turned silent. His expression was normal but she knew that gradually he was lost in his own thoughts; so she decided to leave him alone.

Catching a cheating partner right in front of their own eyes.

She could not even think how he would feel.

She thought back to that night when she was just back in the apartment and overhead Liwei who was talking so sweetly on the phone.

Even then, she felt that her whole world had come crashing down on her; swallowing her whole.

She felt empty and devastated. Disappointed and angry. And she definitely felt that she could not trust anyone, ever again.

How would Li Xiqing feel then?

Shao Yan shook her head lightly to disperse the gloomy thoughts.

She wrapped her hands around Li Xiqing's arm, and then she leaned her head onto his upper arm.

Slightly rubbing her head against his arm muscles, Shao Yan giggled, "Well, it's her lost anyway. You are mine now."

Li Xiqing was surprised at her childish actions.

Shao Yan had been reserved whenever they were in public settings. The most that she allowed him to do was to hold her hands or her waist.

Looking at how she grinned like a child while hanging onto his arm and looking up at him coquettishly; his dark and gloomy mood was quickly washed away. And replacing those unpleasant thoughts was a feeling of warmth blanketing his whole heart in contentment.

'This is enough,' he thought to himself, 'Shao Yan alone is enough."

"Of course," He slightly bent his head down and planted a kiss on her forehead, "I am here now."

His other palm went to the side of her head, cupping her closer to his lips, "Always and forever."

"En," Shao Yan mumbled happily, "Always and forever."
