“Wait… Ah!” Annie only meant to avoid a certain someone but in a moment of carelessness, she stepped on the tail of her dress. Her body tilted, and she almost fell.
Chris caught her into his arms in time and saved her from the fall.
Annie rested in his arms and panted.
“Scared me,” she said, her beautiful eyes glancing at the door of the banquet hall. Realizing that Ye Sijue didn’t follow her, she heaved a breath of relief, her little hand clasped over her chest.
Chris looked at her. “Hey, just who did you see that’s making you so scared?”
“I…” Annie looked up and met his eyes. Realizing that their pose was quite suggestive, she quickly pushed him away and steadied herself.

She brushed away the hair near her ear and said hesitantly, “Nothing… Stop asking me.”
“Why can’t I ask?” Chris frowned, staring at her eyes. He didn’t seem so easy to fool.
Annie looked down. “Because I don’t want to tell.”
She didn’t even fully understand what was going on between her and Ye Sijue, so how could she tell him?
Chris gaze deepened. He suddenly reached out and cupped her little face in his hands, forcing her to look up to face him.
“What exactly happened in China? You have been absent-minded every day since you came back. You don’t even want to answer me when I ask about it. Annie, when did we star keeping secrets?”
“I…” Annie eyes were apologetic.
Chris’s gaze was burning as he asked her bluntly, “Did you meet a man you like in China?”
Annie pursed her lips and didn’t answer.
Chris said, “Do you remember our agreement?”
“Yeah?” Annie’s brain was a bit dazed, and she didn’t realize what he was referring to.
Chris gazed at her eyes deeply. “Our marriage was arranged by our families. I asked you if you really wanted to marry me, and you said you didn’t know. So we agreed that if we ever met someone that we liked, we would cancel the marriage. Do you remember?”
Annie nodded. “I remember.”
“So tell me. Did you meet a man in China that interested you?” Chris’s eyes were looking deep into her heart.
She lowered her head. Thinking of something, the little face that had always been so innocent grew serious.
“It doesn’t matter anymore,” she mumbled.

“Why not? This is very important. Annie, this is what you want, so it is very important,” Chris grabbed her shoulders as he said in a serious tone.
Annie pushed his hand away, her little face at a loss. “Chris, I don’t want to talk about this now, okay?”
She was flustered.
Her mind was filled with images of Ye Sijue and Secretary Tian.
She felt stifled inside.
Why did Ye Sijue bring the mean secretary to America for his business trip? Of all the secretaries he could have chosen, he had chosen Secretary Tian.
Chris never wanted to see her unhappy, so he had no choice but to give in and raise his arms in surrender.
“Okay, okay, okay. Will you tell me when you’re ready?”
“Yeah.” Annie nodded distractedly.
“Now, do you want to continue strolling through the courtyard, or shall we enter the banquet hall?”
