Four years later.

In a large shopping mall in Ning City, a woman with skin as fair as porcelain, and dark, silky hair that fell upon her shoulders in soft waves, caught the attention of every person she walked past. A pair of wide-framed sunglasses rested on her pretty head. Her features were flawless; exquisite like that of a cultured painting, with red, pouty lips that were delicate and seductive.

The woman was wearing a mint-green coat complemented by a pair of high heels. Her stunning figure was tall and slim and she walked with with a natural gait that rivalled a professional model on the runway.

She was pushing a shopping cart where a small boy was sitting, wearing a baseball cap, denim overalls and an English-styled checkered shirt.

Although the cap covered his eyes and nose, one could tell from a glance that he was definitely a handsome and cute baby just from his moist lips and adorable chin.

“Pretty Zhizhi, Brother Jie has already listed everything that we need to buy.” The small boy lifted his head to gaze happily at the eye-catching, beautiful young woman.

The moment he lifted his head, many people were able to get a clear glimpse of his face.

His features were exquisite and looked like they had been carved from a jade. He had large ink-black eyes, a well-defined little nose and soft, pink lips. The boy would have looked exactly like a prince from a comic book, if it was not for his overly pale skin.

Were the two mother and son, or siblings?

Their attractiveness when they were together was just too strong.

Nan Zhi looked adoringly at her cute baby as a bright, beautiful smile broke out on her face. “Brother Jie is so awesome!”

“Zhizhi, Xiaojie darling.”

A clear voice sounded from behind them. Nan Zhi turned around and saw her best friend, Xia Yanran, waving brightly to Xiaojie and her.

“Pretty Zhizhi, it’s godma.” An incredibly charming smile appeared on Nan Xiaojie’s adorable little face. He was going to be a real lady killer when he grew up.

Xia Yanran ran to the two and immediately gave Nan Zhi a huge hug. Yanran had been desk mates with Nan Zhi for all their three years of high school and they had long since established a strong friendship that weathered the ups and downs. Although they were not able to meet in person when Nan Zhi went abroad four years ago, they still made sure to have video calls at least every two weeks to stay in touch.

As such, Yanran was one of the few people who knew about Nan Xiaojie’s existence.

Yanran impatiently grabbed onto Xiaojie for a big hug after hugging Nan Zhi, enveloping him tightly in her arms and holding him close. She was incredibly fond of the little one and never wanted to let go of him.

“Godma, you’re hugging so tight that Xiaojie can’t breath.”

Yanran let go of Xiaojie with a wide smile, although her eyes stayed on Xiaojie’s face unashamedly. “Zhizhi, his genes are too good! Can I reserve a spot as Xiaojie baby’s girlfriend?”

“Godma is so pretty, your boyfriend in the future must be more handsome than Xiaojie!” Xiaojie’s large black eyes turned to look at Nan Zhi. “Xiaojie belongs to Pretty Zhizhi only.”

Yanran felt extremely attacked like she was knocked out with ten thousand points of critical damage. Apart from having good looks and a loveable personality, Zhizhi’s Xiaojie baby was also completely loyal to Zhizhi. Yanran was so jealous that she felt like she could die!

“Zhizhi, what do I do? I really want to steal your Brother Jie and bring him home with me.”

Nan Zhi smiled, “That’s alright, as long as our Brother Jie is willing.”

Yanran pouted, “Hmph, go ahead and show off your relationship!”

After they were done shopping at the supermarket, Xia Yanran wanted to bring Nan Zhi and Xiaojie to celebrate her return, with a big meal at the city’s revolving restaurant. “Well, I don’t care. Zhizhi, I’m still angry that you didn’t even tell me that you were coming back today. I could have gone to pick you both up at the airport. You have to let me treat you to this a delicious meal, if not, our friendship is over!”

Half an hour later, the two adults and one child arrived at the top floor of Ning City’s only seven star hotel.

The waiter at the front of the revolving restaurant stopped them. “I’m sorry, but the restaurant has been completely booked for tonight.”

Xia Yanran was speechless. Who was the nouveau riche to book out the most extravagant restaurant in Ning City?!

Nan Zhi comforted Xia Yanran at the sight of her indignant and disappointed expression. “It’s alright, Yanran. It’s the same even if we eat somewhere else.”

Xia Yanran pouted, “I really want to meet that nouveau riche.”

The three of them had no choice but to go back down to the lobby. Just as they reached the entrance of the hotel, Xia Yanran turn back and gestured for them to stop, “Zhizhi, wait here with my adorable little godson. I’ll drive the car over.”

“Okay.”

Nan Zhi and Xiaojie stood behind a large marble pillar. As they waited, Nan Zhi’s phone rang and she walked forward a few steps to pick up the call. Xiaojie leaned against the pillar and his ink-black orbs moved around under the baseball cap, observing the people around him carefully.

Suddenly, a distinct silhouette came out from the revolving door, attracting Xiaojie’s attention with its cold demeanour.

A man strode out of the entrance, dressed immaculately a long, classic black coat that he pulled off easily with his tall stature and broad shoulders. A pair of fitted, perfectly-ironed dress pants covered his long legs. His short black hair was sharp and stylish. His face was well-defined with a perfect jawline and flawless features, like that of an artisan’s treasured sculpture. His features were deep and cold, while his eyes were sharp with a piercing gaze that could freeze a person to their bones. He exuded a strong, dominating aura that was both overwhelming and intimidating, preventing anyone from getting too close.
