All her hatred… was it all just for a nightmare or was it really the future to be?

Love Affair watched as Xiao Wan repeatedly touched her face. Love Affair was getting impatient from kneeling there next to her for so long. “Young Miss I know today you’ll be getting married. I also know that today is July 6th of the 26th year of xxxx but really you must stop crying! Otherwise you’ll be late!”

Xiao Wan immediately stiffened. She had heard those exact same words from Love Affair before. She remembered that the night before the wedding she couldn’t sleep because she was so excited. Her mood had been unusually good, so good that even though she hated the two girls she had made them stay up with her to chat. Love Affair was so annoyed she disobeyed Xiao Wan’s orders and left after saying two sentences.

The first sentence had been to tell her to stop admiring herself in the mirror. The second sentence had been to remind her to hurry or she would miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to marry Ji Shumo.

Xiao Wan had been so excited that day she had binged on pastries and sweets and nearly choked to death from stuffing them in her mouth too fast. A faraway look come into her eyes as she remembered the half eaten cake in her hand. This scene and many others flashed rapidly by in her mind.

Liu Shui watched as Love Affair’s face became unhappier by the second. It was clear she was about to get up so Liu Shui had sought to beg Xiao Wan’s forgiveness for the other’s impudence. She had mentioned Ji Shumo earlier in hopes of distracting Xiao Wan.

Meanwhile the doubts in Xiao Wan’s mind disappeared. She remembered everything, all the things that were said, all the things she did, everything came back to her. Everything that would happen in the future, it was all because she married Ji Shumo.   

Am I reborn? Did I go back in time - return to the day of the big wedding with Ji Shumo?

Fine! I have to grab this second chance from the Heavens and make sure the Xiao House doesn’t get exterminated. With a bang she stood up.

Love Affair watched as Xiao Wan paced restlessly back and forth with a sorrowful determined expression on her face, her gaze somewhere off in the distance looking as though she was lost in herself. Love Affair’s heart felt uneasy and she mentally retreated. What is wrong with this Young Miss today! Why isn’t she getting angry and yelling at me like usual? Why the sad face? Did something shameful happen?

In her previous life Xiao Wan especially hated Love Affair because of her poisonous sharp tongue. Because Love Affair nitpicked at everything Xiao Wan did the two quarrelled almost everyday. Xiao Wan rarely held her anger in check and would easily explode. Their relationship was never good, so when Love Affair criticized Ji Shumo for being a sham and a hypocrite Xiao Wan was extremely skeptical. Warning Xiao Wan to be weary of him also failed and only succeeding in earning her severe tongue lashings. Ultimately Love Affair’s efforts achieved the opposite effect serving to make Xiao Wan suspicious of Love Affair and pushing Xiao Wan closer to Ji Shumo.

Some time afterwards Love Affair was caught secretly transferring the family funds and moving it to her own name and account. She was punished according to house rules and was caned fifty times before being kicked out.

Love Affair had a poisonous mouth but she was always there at the critical moments observing and sharing her thoughts. Only by eliminating her could Ji Shumo blind Xiao Wan and deceive her, resulting in the extermination of the Xiao House and all its one hundred twenty members.

Xiao Wan remembered Love Affair kept insisting she was innocent, that there was a villain in the House intent on causing them harm. After being reborn, Xiao Wan now knew that Ji Shumo had set a trap to strip away her protection by getting rid of Love Affair.
