Lori has a big smile on her face as she spoke, "My dear family and friends, as you can see, we are deeply in love with each other. Please trust our decision. We are both happy and agreed to get married after 4 years. Thank you for understanding us and I hope you all enjoy the evening." She couldn't hide her happiness, her face says how happy she was.
However, Li Wei cannot join their happiness, to him, it doesn't feel right. He was actually secretly rooting for Ms Li, after all, he worked hard to take her to his boss plus he gets paid a lot for the job that will include her.
Gu Feng and Gu Meiling were happy with their announcement. They understood what the couple wanted making them two agreed to it. On the other hand, Shen Shui and his wife Shen Xin Yi are not so happy. They want the marriage to happen soon, they want grandchildren. But because they love their daughter so much, they will support her decision, anyway, they will get married eventually then they can have their grandchildren. However, having a grandchild outside marriage they cannot support, Lori shouldn't get pregnant until they are married.
All in all, everything went well. Everyone was happy and satisfied, well, except Li Wei of course.
Cheng Ze took Lori to her home and drove her home personally without Li Wei tagging along. Inside the car, Lori's smile was from ear to ear. "I'm glad you weren't there on our first engagement. Otherwise, I will not experience this very sweet gesture from you." Lori leaned on Cheng Ze's arm and shut her eyes pondering the moment that had happened.
They finally arrived at her house and the car came to a stop, he opened the door of the car for Lori, "You should go in and rest." He then walked her to their front gate, "I have to go home as well, I have to be in the office early."
Lori was not letting him go just yet, "Cheng Ze... I will wait for 4 years patiently. I will trust you, I'll be loyal and faithful to you. I love you so much." She tiptoed and sealed his lips with a kiss. It surprised him and couldn't open his mouth to kiss her back.
Lori was persistent. She bit his lower lip and pull it a bit so she can enter his mouth, once her tongue got in, Cheng Ze woke up from being startled and held Lori in her arm and pushed her gently to the gate making Lori let go of his lips.
"You shouldn't do this Lori." He said calmly.
"Why? Isn't it normal for couples to kiss? It's just a goodbye kiss." She seemed disappointed and pouted her lips.
Cheng Ze smiled at her, "It should be me kissing you not the other way around."
Lori felt special and what he said made her heart flutter, "Okay, I'll remember that." She replied happily with a big smile written on her face.
He pulled Lori close to him and kissed her on the forehead, "Goodnight Lori." Cheng Ze head back to his car without waiting for her reply.
"Goodnight Cheng Ze." She mumbled and went inside their house after his car was no longer in sight.
England
After the summer holidays, everything was back to normal. This time, Sofia stayed with Ji An so she hired a new nanny to look after Sofia when she's not at home. Eric comes to visit them every weekend and they agreed to be friends for Sofia's sake. Their divorce was pushing through quietly as both parties agreed to it so they should be divorced pretty soon.
Alice doesn't have a clue about the divorce. To her, everything seemed okay and she cannot see any problems between them. It seems like Ji An forgave her brother already, so she was happy and doesn't get herself involved with them anymore.
Sofia calls Eric Daddy and Ji An was not too keen about it but she cannot stop Sofia from calling him like that, after all, she agreed to it so it would be awkward if she suddenly stopped her daughter, plus Alice might get involved and things will go awry.
To Eric, its music to his ears, every time Sofia calls him daddy he smiles brightly and happily. He wants to give her everything she wanted or asks for. He wants to spoil her, Sofia is his only way to Ji An, so he thinks.
Ji An only looked at Eric as a friend from the beginning anyway, he's lucky that she's still nice to him after what he did. She's no longer looking for Sofia's dad, they can live and survive without that person, that's what they've been doing anyway and thanks to him that she has a cute little angel.
Eric still tries to date Ji An, but she will always find a way to refuse him without Alice noticing anything but once in a while, she will go out with Eric just so Alice will not notice what's going on between them. Alice was completely clueless about their divorce.
Sofia was very fond of Eric, to her, Eric is her dad and Eric is very fond of little Sofia too, the feelings between them were mutual and something that Ji An cannot break. Their bonding was like a real father and daughter and Ji An wasn't so happy about it so she asked Eric not to be so close to Sofia because she doesn't want Sofia to longed-for him. It's not good for her if Eric is always by her side.
She had told Eric that eventually, she will tell Sofia the truth and told him that when he visits her, limit their closeness and she explained her reasons.
Being in Uni helped her a lot in their current situation. Being in her 2nd year as a Psychology student, she's busier than the previous year.

Eric was busy with his company as he was thinking of expanding his business through-out Asia. Even so, he still makes time to visit Ji An and Sofia in Oxfordshire. His dedication to his family was immense even though their divorce was on process.
One weekend, all three of them, Ji An, Alice and Eric had free time and they all went out to bond. They went to see a movie and dine out while Sofia was at home being looked after by her nanny.
Eric and Ji An sat beside each other while Alice sat on the opposite side. While eating, Eric started a conversation, "So how is Uni these days?"
Alice rolled her eyes, "You don't wanna know Eric, I tell you. It sucks so much. My brain has shrunk and can no longer think." Alice laughed a little as she exaggerated her story.
"All good to me! I'm coping alright. Just busy with some cases and writing essays. So far my brain is still working." she replied confidently but at the same time teasing Alice.
"That's my wife! I picked the right woman aren't I Alice? Very confident and intelligent. I love you sweetheart." he kissed Ji An on her forehead like what he normally does when he praises her.
She really wanted to avoid his kiss but if she does, it will give Alice a hint that something wasn't right and she might start interfering again. So she just let Eric get away with that one but she gave him a look as if she's telling him "Don't do those things, I don't like it."
Eric smiled and shrugged his shoulders like he didn't understand her eyes and what she meant. "Let's eat! Food will get cold." he then cut Ji An's steak and gave her a sweet smile before cutting his piece of steak.
"Can you please, don't show this behaviour in front of me? I love you both but please, show some mercy on me," she complained about his brother's behaviour but if she knew what's really going on between them, she wouldn't say that to him.
"You heard your sister. Stop this PDA and let her survive her meal," she said jokingly but he knows she's serious and she meant it.
After their meal, they head home and not long after he said his goodbyes, "Ji, Alice I better get going," he told them after sending them inside the house.
"Why? Where are you going?" Alice asked as she thought he would stay for the night to spend some more time with Ji An and Sofia. She was also looking forward to spending more time with her brother.
"As usual, business. What else?" he grinned at his sister trying to hide his real emotions. Of course, he doesn't want to leave, he wanted to stay for them but Ji An will not have it and he must respect it, after all, they have an agreement.
"Okay then, I'll let you go. Be safe and call us when you arrived." Even though their divorce was on process they are still friends and her concern towards him will always be there.
He gave Ji An a kiss on her cheek, waved Alice goodbye and got in his car, he drove off leaving them two standing there as they watched his car vanished.
"I'm glad you and Eric are getting along well. Thank you for understanding him and accepting him again. I'm happy to see you both like this. You have no idea how happy I am seeing you both like this." Alice happily said with a big smile on her face.
Ji An just gave her a smile, "Let's go and get ready for bed. I'm so tired. I still have to check on Sofia." It's better not to say anything or answer her, a diversion is an option.
Ji An went to Sofia's room to check her, she was sound asleep. She gave her a little kiss on her forehead and whispered her goodnight before leaving Sofia's room and headed to her own room to get ready for bed.
4 Years Later
Even though it took him 4 years, Eric managed to expand his business to Asia and recently bought shares in Tangxin Group. With that, he will have to go to Beijing soon to greet the people behind the successful business and sign whatever's needed to be signed.
Ji An had finally graduated, earning her Master's Degree in Psychology. Alice was planning to continue studying to earn a PhD in Psychology which means she has to study further and stay there in Oxfordshire for 3 more years while Ji An and Sofia will go back to live in London.
Sofia is now 5 years old and she's in year one, she's quite a clever girl and very approachable. Every Friday, she would bring home certificates from her school. Ji An is so proud of her daughter. She can't help to think that her father must be a smart man. After all, she is not really good with her maths, while Sofia is really good at it. On top of that, he must be handsome! Sofia is really cute, it's impossible to resist her charms, her smiles and when she talks, she's very confident even at her age. She is a well behave little madam, even though Eric spoils her a lot, she knows that her mummy will not like it if she is to demand anything to her daddy.
She will have to ask her mummy first if it's okay to ask her daddy for things that she wants. Something she can't really understand why she must do it that way. But being a good daughter, she obeys her mum.
Ji An and Sofia moved back to their penthouse apartment in Water Lane, London. Eric was so happy and excited that they will finally be together all the time and he doesn't have to travel back and forth to Oxfordshire. Though Eric and Ji An became friends after what happened 4 years ago, she is still cautious of him. Ji An had told him they cannot sleep in the same bed and he must sleep in the other room at night. Also, she told him that she will let her daughter know the truth about them soon. Eric didn't argue about it, he knows that Ji An knows what she's doing and it's probably for the best.
Their divorce was finalized 3 years ago but Alice and their parents didn't know that they had divorced, but soon, everything will come out in the open.
