Decision

Li Lanni changed into a more comfortable attire and shoes. Since leaving the hospital, she found that she liked places brimming with happiness and activity like the theme park. They made her happier.

As soon as she arrived at the theme park, she brightened up. There were many kids here in the company of their parents. Some of them anticipated going on the scary rides while others cowered behind their parents.

In the stalls, many colorful snacks were being sold. Li Lanni wanted to try out some of them.

She skipped over to the cotton candy stall and bought a huge rainbow-colored one. It was so big that she could properly hide her face behind it.

She sat down on a bench, pinched a little of it and put it in her mouth. How sweet. Although she was all on her own, her face was filled with happiness. Once the cotton candy was finished, she stood to leave.

"Lanni?" A male voice called out her name.

Li Lanni turned. However, she didn't see anyone she knew in the vicinity.

...

Ji Xiehan had only casually wanted to go to the theme park. 

Never would he have expected that as soon as he entered the theme park, the first person he would see would be his little beauty, her small happy face burried behind a huge rainbow-colored cotton candy.

"Fate has made us meet again." he mumbled, not daring to call out her name. He was scared that once he did, she would vanish. What if it was just an illusion?

When he saw that she was starting to leave, he was desperate to stop her. "Lanni!"

The girl turned and looked around. As though she was thinking of something, she quickly left, disappearing into the crowd in just a few steps. 

He didn't even have the time to stop her. He could only frown with surprise. "What's wrong with her? Did I get the wrong person?"

His assistant had ran his lungs out to catch up with his love-striken boss. "She really is Miss Lanni. She just doesn't want to speak to you. After all, she is such an arrogant and proud girl." 

Xiehan turned to glance at his assistant with a raised eyebrow. "And how exactly did you know that she is arrogant? Besides, were you even close enough to see her?" 

"S-sir..." the assistant trembled. He was 

He was so eager to do what Ji Feifei had asked him to do that he forgot that he shouldn't logically know who Lanni is. 

"You do know her." Ji Xiehan narrowed his eyes. "Tell me her whereabouts. I'm giving you three hours." 

"Y-yes boss."

___

After getting such a scare, Lanni was no longer willing to stay in the theme park. She didn't know how to explain it but that voice sounded eerie in her ears. It was as though she had heard it before but she couldn't remember who it belonged to. 

Hence when she ran away, she intended to run all the way home. Yet she would never have expected that she would only be home a few hours later, and so angry that she wanted to kill someone. 

Pushing what had just happened at the back of her brain, she hurried into the house in fright. 

Li Yuming was startled when she saw her run back. "Did something happen?" 

Lanni sat on the couch, trying not to look scared. "Nothing that should be a source of worry." 

Li Yuming brought her some fruits from the kitchen then sat across the coffee table. "Lanni, we need to talk." 

"Talk about what?" Lanni put a piece of mango into her mouth. 

"I'm no longer secure about you being in this city and in this country. I'm worried..." Li Yuming squeezed her eyes shut for a moment, as though she had taken up all her courage to come to this decision. "I'm worried that you might get hurt again." 

"Mom, what are you driving at?" Lanni had a bad feeling about this. 

"I want to send you overseas. I will go with you so you don't feel lonely."
