Unexpected Second Chance at Love



Ji Chu Hua's pure and innocent face was replaced with fury and annoyance. She could not believe what had happened.

She had not even stepped out of the cocktail lounge when someone bumped into her, causing her dress to suddenly be stained with red wine.

She stares down at the wet stain on her body-con dress. Her hands curled into tight fists as if wanting to suppress all the anger that would burst from her.

"Hua, are you alright?"

Gu Ting Fei was just as surprised as his girlfriend and panicked. He checked her entire body from front to back to ensure that nothing else had touched her.

"Are you hurt anywhere?"

After ensuring she was alright, he flung his head around to look at the two people who had bumped into them.

"Are you out of your mind? Do you not look where you are going?"

Suddenly raising his voice, the petite woman's shoulders raised in fear, and her large round eyes turned moist. However, despite looking like she was on the verge of tears, no tears were shedding.

"My apologies. I really didn't see you coming. My attention was elsewhere."

Gu Ting Fei stares at the petite woman with eyes that could kill someone. He takes a step forward with his spin straightened and chin slightly raised.

"You ruined my girlfriend's dress. How are you going to compensate? Should we take this to the hotel security?"

His words fell with superiority, but the moment he stepped forward, the stylish man next to the petite woman also took a step forward.

His moves are enough to let others know that he will stand up for his friend.

"Hey, bro, let's take it easy here. My friend already apologized for what she did. Why are you threatening her? If you want compensation, we will pay for the cleaning fee."

Gu Ting Fei sized the man and sneered. He had always thought his looks were incomparable, but he felt inferior to the stylish man for some reason.

A faint feeling of envy washed inside him, but considering his family status in Imperial, he quickly brushed it away.

He maintains his ground and narrows his eyes at the man and the petite woman.

"My girlfriend's dress is one of a kind in the world. Only three were made. Do you think it is possible to make such a stain disappear?"

The petite woman felt terrible for what happened. If she had watched where she was going, she wouldn't have bumped into Ji Chu Hua and ruined such an expensive dress.

Her shoulders rose, and she cowered in fear. Her head drops, and she stares at the floor, anticipating what to do now.

"Oh dear me, I didn't mean to ruin her dress."

Gu Ting Fei rolled his eyes in response. He took out his phone and held it out to the woman.

"Give me your contact information. I will send you the cleaning bill."

The petite woman reached to take the phone, but before her hand could touch it, Ji Chu Hua stopped Gu Ting Fei.

She lowers his arm and looks at the two people politely.

"Don't worry. Although this dress is expensive, it is only a dress."

She locks her arm around Gu Ting Fei's arm and directs her smile at him.

"Ting Fei, I'm not hurt anywhere, so let us drop this. Everyone is here to enjoy their night, and I believe she didn't mean any harm. It was only an accident, after all."

Gu Ting Fei was reluctant but never one to go against Ji Chu Hua. He heaves a long sigh.

"Alright. Since you say it's fine."

He glares at the petite woman with eyes full of malice.

"You should be grateful that my girlfriend is nice. I wouldn't let this go this easily if she weren't."

He turns to Ji Chu Hua and wraps her in her red coat before walking her out of the cocktail lounge.

Ji Chu Hua upheld her innocent appearance and leaned against Gu Ting Fei like a frail woman who would collapse at any moment.

However, deep inside, she was seething with anger.

The only reason why she didn't put up a fight was because there were too many people watching them. If she had raised her voice, there was no doubt that tomorrow's headlines would be about her.

If words were to get out that she was mean, the image she had put so much work into would be ruined.

"Wow, Miss Ji is as sweet as ever. If my dress had been ruined, I would have flipped."

"Me too. I believe Miss Ji is a woman worthy of praise. It's no wonder everyone adores her."I think you should take a look at ραΠdαs.cοm

"Gu Ting Fei standing up for Ji Chu Hua is enough to show how much he cares about her."

Whispers began to surface in the cocktail lounge by those who witnessed the scene. Some praise Gu Ting Fei and Ji Chu Hua, while others mock the petite woman and stylish man with disdain.

However, despite everything happening, the petite woman stares in the direction the couple has gone.

The look of fear had long disappeared from her face and was replaced with indifference.

"Ju Suo, are you alright?"

Gui Zhongmin asked as he glanced down at the petite woman. He was unsure whether this incident had any effect on her.

They were assigned to keep an eye on Ji Chu Hua, but when they saw that she was leaving, Ju Suo didn't say much except for him to follow.

Even he was surprised when Ju Suo purposely bumped into the woman and poured her drink onto Ji Chu Hua's dress.

Ju Suo stared at Ji Chu Hua's figure until the woman was no long in view. She turns her head to look at Gui Zhongmin and shrugs her shoulder with indifference.

"Are you honestly asking me if I'm alright?"

Her head tilts to the side, and she scoffs a laugh.

"Honestly speaking, what can that little woman possibly do to me? I ruined her dress because she dared to take what didn't belong to her. She should be thankful that it was only wine and not acid."

Gui Zhongmin's eyelids grew heavy hearing the petite woman calling another woman little when the person was clearly taller than her (Ju Suo).

For a second there, he thought that Ju Suo was in too much shock to speak.

However, seeing that she is fine, he laughs with her.contemporary romance

It was only fair that Ju Suo did what she did because Ji Chu Hua dared to steal their boss's engagement dress.

"You're right. I almost thought that you were too scared to speak."

He thinks back to her behavior during the incident and laughs again.

"Only you can pull something like that off. If it had been Lian Ni Shang… well, let's just say, it would have been the end for Ji Chu Hua and Gu Ting Fei."

Ju Suo gives her comrade a side glance. She knew why he had mentioned Lian Ni Shang, and she couldn't agree better.

In any situation that Lian Ni Shang was in, Shan Sinan always protected her. The man may appear quiet and unnoticeable, but he can be ruthless, especially regarding his woman.

There was a time when she (Ju Suo) envied their relationship. However, that was when she didn't have anyone.

She places her palms on her hips and smirks at the stylish man.

"Hey, Mr. Stylist, are you forgetting that I, too, am protected by my Big Gorilla?"

Hearing this, Gu Zhongmin almost choked on his saliva. He coughs a few times to steady himself and nods his head.

"That's right. How could I have forgotten?"

He had forgotten that Ju Suo had entered a relationship with Jiangyu. The couple had given each other the nickname Little Monkey and Big Gorilla.

A broad smile crosses his face, and he lets out a laugh.

"Alright, let's go, Little Monkey. Our task here is done."

Ju Suo pursed her lip before kicking Gui Zhongmin in the leg. She crossed her arms over her chest and glared at him.

"You are not allowed to call me that. That name is only for my Big Gorilla."

She looks away with a fierce attitude and walks away, completely ignoring the man she was paired with for this assignment.

Gui Zhongmin was in disbelief. He couldn't believe that his comrade of many years would discard him for a man.

A man who was once considered an enemy.

However, seeing how happy the woman has become, he shakes his head with a sigh.

As long as his friends are happy, he is happy.

Quickly catching up to Ju Suo, he takes out his phone and dials a number.

"We're done here. They are on their way up now."
