Again with that 'stupid' word. She was getting tired of hearing it. Did she really look like a dumb girl? Well, she can't really blame them. Most of the time she was confused about what was happening around her. She was still trying to adjust with her new life without her memories. Besides, everyone just seemed to underestimate her just because they don't know a thing from her. They should try getting into an accident and losing their memories.

Mengmeng looked out of the window of the plane with a strange mixture of regret. Regret because she should have asked for money instead of marrying Bai Jingye. If she did, maybe she would have a better life? Maybe someone she knew would find her by accident if she began traveling around the places in the country. But silly her, she ended up being captivated by the good-looking man that she ended up agreeing to the marriage. She should have thought more of their circumstances.

"I really don't want to be your enemy, Bai Mengxi."

She turned her gaze back to the woman in front of her. She could see that Tian Ruyi finally stopped with her act. She stared at her rather firmly, finally without hiding her feelings for her. She was finally showing her true colors by saying, "I will never back out without a fight if you even think of stealing MY man. I will make sure to destroy you with no forgiveness."

Must be nice, huh? To be able to declare something like that. Those words should belong to her since she was the wife but who would have thought that she would end up hearing those words from her instead?

Mengmeng ended up chuckling inwardly after hearing what she said. She brought the glass of juice to her lips, finally taking a small sip from it.

Even if she tried, she wouldn't be able to successfully steal him. She may be able to seduce him, lure him into her room but she would never have his heart. She didn't want to become a spiteful woman. That's why she was not going to attempt to work things out with him. She shortened their marriage days just so she could finally go free from the Bai family.

She was never going to be a man's second choice. She knew her worth. She was not going to degrade herself for the sake of pursuing someone who will only treat her like trash in the end. She was never going to allow her feelings to blind her judgment.

"It seems like Bai Jingye doesn't keep anything from you so I'm pretty sure that you already know that I don't want a one-year-long relationship with him," she said, placing the glass back on the table.

She envied her. To have someone like him love and protect her. He was open to his lover. He didn't even hide the fact that she was pregnant even when she told him not to tell anyone about it. They must have trusted each other so much to the point that Tian Ruyi was willing to become her friend.

"Yes, he told me that you wanted to shorten the period of your marriage days," she smiled. "That's why I like you. I do not attack unless someone attacks first. Unlike other women, you know your place."

Mengmeng knew that it would be bad to make an enemy out of her as well. She not only has Bai Jingye's backing but also his family's. Every member seemed to be close to her. Mengmeng was alone with no one beside her. She wasn't even sure if Bai Keran would help her if ever she tried to fight Tian Ruyi… it was safer to back down. She didn't want to take that risk.

"Then what does it got to do with wanting to be friends with me?" She asked, still doubting her. "I might stab you in the back."

"But you won't. You're clever enough to think of the consequence it'll cause you." Tian Ruyi looked so sure about not being betrayed by her. Although she was correct in what she said. Mengmeng wouldn't be able to handle the consequence.

"The trick to being smart is knowing when to play dumb. How can I be sure that you won't betray me?" Mengmeng asked languidly with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "My existence should be enough of a threat to you, don't you think so?"

"Of course, I know that your existence is a threat," she agreed, "Not just to me," she added, almost whispering, somehow giving another meaning to her words.

The pregnant woman didn't think much of what she said. She just thought that Tian Ruyi considered her as a threat to Bai Jingye as well since she could still try and grab his attention. Any woman can be a threat to any couple, that's for sure. It was not limited to women though; any man can be a threat too.

"I am confident that I won't betray you since just like what I have said earlier, I like you as a person. Even if you don't like me, you will need me," she pointed out.

Mengmeng raised a brow at her words. "need you?"

"Yes. You see, I can be your greatest ally."
