Chapter 1 - 1 1 Ah Li Close Your Eyes
Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Ah Li, Close Your Eyes Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Ah Li, Close Your Eyes Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “Lai, close your eyes.”
Han Jifeng’s voice, gentle and soothing, echoed in her ears followed by a gunshot: “Bang—!”
Tang Li jolted awake from her dream.
She sat up in bed, her face pale as death, forehead slick with cold sweat.
Clutching her throbbing head, she looked up only to see her own reflection on the LCD TV screen.
Tang Li was momentarily dazed.
Then, she threw back the covers and got out of bed.
Standing in front of the mirror, Tang Li looked at herself.
Her delicate oval face, skin white as milk, eyebrows like ink, and her sea-blue, gray-tinged wavy mid-length hair made her wan features appear even softer. She showed none of the dishevelment from a kidnapping.
As for the headache—
She gently felt the gauze on her temple.
This wasn’t a gunshot wound.
Tang Li remembered that two years after returning to the Lai Family, when she was 19, this was how she looked.
…But she was clearly 26 years old.
Realizing a certain possibility, Tang Li quickly left the bathroom.
Standing in the bedroom, she surveyed her surroundings.
Her heartbeat quickened.
This was the Lai Family’s, not the Han Family’s.
Not the place where she had spent six lonely years in an empty room after marrying Han Jifeng.
Indeed, she had been reborn seven years in the past.
Scenes from right before her death flashed through her mind.
Her half-sister, Lai Shengxia, had been kidnapped. Han Jifeng had tricked her into going as a hostage exchange because she shared a strong resemblance to Lai Shengxia, telling the kidnappers that she was the eldest daughter of Lai Wenyan and Ouyang Qian of the Lai Family.
However, after she was taken hostage, Han Jifeng actually ordered the SWAT to fire.
When the bullet pierced her skull, what imprinted on her retina was Han Jifeng’s face, calm to the point of ruthlessness.
At that moment, she finally believed that Han Jifeng had absolutely no feelings for her.
Marrying her was nothing more than because she resembled Lai Shengxia.
—Because he couldn’t have the love he felt for Lai Shengxia.
So later, when he had enough power, when Lai Shengxia got divorced and returned to the country, she, the substitute, became the annoying mosquito blood on his heart.
Tang Li suddenly wanted to laugh, yet her eyes were hot with the sting of tears.
If she was allowed to return to the past, why couldn’t it be to the time when she and her mother depended on each other in Diannan?
That year, her mother hadn’t yet died of illness, and she hadn’t gone north to
She had never attended Lai Yuaner’s coming-of-age ceremony, so she had never seen this dress.
Despite the years, Tang Li remembered clearly that it was this very birthday banquet that exposed her in front of everyone, affirming her identity as the Lai Family’s illegitimate daughter, and spreading her reputation as a vain and dishonest person.
Tang Li closed her eyes, suppressing the turbulent emotions within her chest.
She was no longer that naïve girl who was easily swayed and would trust others at the drop of a hat.
Having been given a second chance at life, some things, she would not allow to happen again!
