Kyoto, Japan.

Early that morning, Lu Mengjie woke up because of her son's loud cries. It has been a month since she gave birth to Little Peanut and she was getting a hang of being a mother. It was not easy, that's for sure. Servants in the place were giving her a cold shoulder ever since Bai Keran and Xu Chen went back to the mainland. She couldn't just rely on Bai Jingye when she knew that he was busy. Even Tian Ruyi only visited her once. They all had jobs and she was there left in the house, monitored by everyone. It was frustrating for Lu Mengjie. The only time she was able to breathe was during the time where she would visit the cafe.

As for Han Yizhou, ever since he left her at the hospital, she was not able to receive anything from him. She felt like the phone Bai Jingye gave her was useless if she couldn't even contact him. She couldn't help but wonder if something bad happened to him or whether Yong Liwei switched out, refusing to contact her while he was at work or while he was doing his dirty business.

It was finally the day where she could go to the usual cafe she had been going to. Bai Jingye's guard and the man that steward Fang assigned, which happened to be Goyun again went along with her. They were sitting at a different table, not near her.

Lu Mengjie was holding a book, she looked so absorbed with it. Her red lips formed into a smile and a natural pink blush spread across her cheeks as she continued to read. The book she was reading was about how to take care of a baby. She couldn't help but smile every time she saw a baby photo. It reminded her of her son. She looked like a living doll that the people who saw her ended up turning their heads just to look at her beauty.

Just then, she noticed someone sitting at the opposite side of the table. She lifted her head and there she saw a beautiful woman with blonde hair. Her beauty was more on the mature and dignified side, which some men around her preferred more rather than those cutesy types. If she was to seduce someone, they would instantly fall for her.

The woman gave out a small smile, "Long time no see, Mengmeng."

In an instant, memories about the woman began flooding in her mind. She remembered how her mother, Li Bingbing took a young girl in their place. Her eyes were blank as if she was a lifeless human being was standing before her. She knew who she was, she was her mother's younger sister who was just a few years older than Lu Mengjie. Her name was Shi Enxi. The last time she remembered, her young aunt was a lively girl, full of smiles that warmed people's hearts but this time, she couldn't even lift the side of her lips when she greeted her.

Since then, Lu Mengjie continued to accompany her until the other girl began opening up to her. They were like sisters. They learned things together. There was a particular subject that Shi Enxi has then a liking and that was… Poisons. She saw how the other girl began putting on a mask towards the other people. She was kind and thoughtful but behind that facade, she knew that the girl inside was broken.

She may have remembered but Lu Mengjie took precaution and instead acted confused. She was being watched from afar. Their conversation may not be heard but it was better if she was careful. "Eh? Are you talking to me?"

"Who else? What's with that expression, Mengjie?" Shi Enxi raised a brow, puzzled at the way she was looking at her. There was only one woman who she had a hard time seeing through and that was Lu Mengjie. She was basically unpredictable. No one knew what was going on in her mind.

"I think you have mistaken me for someone else... My name is not Mengjie, it's Bai Mengxi." She eyed her men who were looking her way and shook her head a bit as if telling them that everything was fine.

Although even if it was not, Goyun didn't care. Only the person who would probably come and protect her was the guard from Bai Jingye.

This time, Shi Enxi ended up furrowing her brows. No, she couldn't have been mistaken. She was sure that the woman in front of her was Lu Mengjie. "Quit playing around."

"I am not."

As she began giving her a scrutinizing look, Lu Mengjie remained calm and continued with her puzzled look.

Shi Enxi inhaled deeply before letting out a long sigh. It has been months since she last heard from her. Maybe something happened. She turned her gaze back to her and smiled. "I can't be mistaken. You really look a lot like my childhood friend."

"Eh...? Really?"

Unlike Lu Mengjie who always looked sharp and attentive, in Shi Enxi's eyes, the woman in front of her was different. She looked so gently and... soft-looking. There was no craftiness in her eyes. She looked like an innocent sheep actually.

Shi Enxi nodded and replied, "yes. If you don't mind me asking you... Do you have a small scar on your shoulder?"

This time, Lu Mengjie's eyes went wide in surprise. Giving her a 'how did she know that she has a scar?' look.

"Y-yes..." She stuttered.

"How about a mole on your hip?"

She nodded again. "H-how did you know?"

"It's because my best friend, Lu Mengjie has those. I am pretty sure that you are her." Shi Enxi took her phone out and opened her gallery.

"If you won't believe me, then look at these photos." She showed her the photos of them together when they were in college. They studied at the same school despite being in different grades. While Shi Enxi took an entertainment management course, Lu Mengjie took a drama course despite having no interest in becoming an actress. Her only goal was to gain more skills she could use later in her life.

"It's... me..."
