Should she enter now? Or should she wait for a while longer? She decided to take a peek from the door's small window only to see them hugging each other.

She should be happy for them, right? She should be glad that they finally reconciled but… why did she suddenly feel suffocated? Her heart was wringing in pain as she watched them from outside. What was suddenly happening to her? Why was she feeling this way? 

Tian Ruyi took a step back and inhaled deeply. The longer she watched them, the heavier her body felt. She couldn't help but feel envious of Lu Mengjie—Huh? Envious? Why should she be jealous of her?

She quickly shook her head from such thoughts. She must be going crazy. 

Seeing that it was fine for her to enter, she took a deep breath in to calm herself. She heaved out a sigh before she finally went back in.

"Now that you have reconciled, should we get back to the main reason why we're here?" She didn't mean to sound rude but she just couldn't help but feel a bit of annoyance welling up inside her.

Lu Mengjie turned to her and flashed her a grateful smile. She walked towards her and wrapped her arms around her. "Thank you, Yiyi."

Tian Ruyi pursed her lips as she felt terrible for the irritation she had inside. She should be happy, she wanted them to reconcile so why was she feeling this way? She was confused.

She was hesitant at first but after a second of thought, she finally hugged her back. "I would have ignored you both if you weren't my friends but I guess that's not the case."

Lu Mengjie chuckled as she pulled away. "Yeah, I guess you're one of the good things that came in my life after what happened to me."

If she didn't have amnesia and wasn't brought to the Bai family, she would have never noticed Tian Ruyi at all. She wouldn't be able to connect her with Si Hongqi as well.

"Guess everything happens for a reason," Tian Ruyi commented before finally releasing her from the hug.

"Shall we get to business now?" Si Hongqi eyed Yong Liwei before he finally faced them.

"Ah yes, yes." Lu Mengjie turned to him. "Is it true that Bai Zichen is on our side?"

Si Hongqi began telling Lu Mengjie how he met Bai Zichen and how they came into partnership. "He's the reason why I found out about your location in Japan. Unlike his brother, he didn't want to openly go against their grandfather."

"How sure are you that we can trust him, gege?" Lu Mengjie may have met him once but she never liked him after the insult he had thrown at her but now that she thought of it, Bai Keran was present during her fake wedding ceremony with Bai Jingye. Could he be acting during that time as well? It would be understandable if he did.

"Because of his hatred for Bai Keran."

"I think we should meet with Bai Zichen as well so that we could discuss what to do," Tian Ruyi suggested.

"Meeting him won't be easy, especially when Bai Keran's men could be lurking around him." Si Hongqi took out the phone from his pocket. "But we can call him."

"It's better if we meet him in person," Tian Ruyi insisted. "And if you're worried about Bai Keran's men keeping an eye on him, you don't have to worry."

"What's your plan, Yiyi?"

"It's not something new. I'll just have to stick to our old plan. I can go and get him right now." She smirked. "He should be at work right now."

Lu Mengjie's eyes glistened when an idea entered her mind. "Then while you're at it, bring Kuro with you."

"Kuro?"

…

Tian Ruyi stood in front of the Bai Company building upon getting out of the taxi. She stared at the skyscraper in front of her for a few seconds before she finally decided to enter the building.

She stepped into the lobby. The guards didn't stop her since they recognized who she was. They were expecting her arrival after Bai Zichen informed them about it the moment he received a message that she would be coming.

Twenty-three floors later, she exited the elevator. The receptionist eyed her for a second without saying a word. Since Tian Ruyi's arrival was expected, she pressed a button that opened the glass doors, allowing her entrance towards where Bai Zichen's office was located.

Upon entering the office, there she saw Bai Zichen, busy with some paperwork. When he noticed her presence, he flashed her a small smile. "Xiao Ruyi, come in." He motioned to one of the two chairs in front of his desk and waited for her to take a seat in it.

The moment Tian Ruyi sat on the chair, she saw a small note in front of her. 

[He hears and sees us.]

She blinked a few times in confusion as she turned to the blond-haired man in front of her. Did he mean that there were some kind of hidden cameras and installed cameras around his office?

"Xiao Ruyi, what brings you here?" Bai Zichen asked as he placed his pen back on the table.

"Gege…" She lowered her head. If they were being watched then all she could do was put on an act just like him. Tian Ruyi already knew that she would be entering an enemy's den but she never expected Bai Keran to go this far just so he could always keep an eye on his actions even at work. No wonder that old snake trusted Bai Zichen so much. He never acted suspiciously in his eyes at all.
