While they were heading to the next city, Lu Mengjie couldn't help but think about the pretty boy she met earlier. He was insisting that he knew her. He called himself as Lust, she also remembered him saying something about 'brother Sloth'…?

Lust? Sloth? Weren't those two names part of the seven sins? Could it be some sort of alias? If that was the case then 'Bai Xue' could be an alias too!

Snow White and the seven dwarfs… seven…

Lu Mengjie's eyes lit up upon realizing something. The seven dwarves were replaced by seven sins!

What… kind of nonsense was this? Was it some kind of organization or something that was based on Snow White and the seven dwarves? It was so childish. Who even thought of giving such names?

She kept on thinking more about it, trying to make sense out of it. She really wanted to get more details from the boy who addressed himself as Lust. Maybe it could trigger the mind to remember some part of her memories if she further spent time with him.

She couldn't help what kind of organization he belonged it. Was it a criminal syndicate? Business? Or... something horrible? Using the seven deadly sins as aliases... She was sure that those people, that boy, could be a part of something dark. If he really knew her, did that mean she was a part of one too?

All these speculations... she wouldn't know if she wouldn't ask him.

"I should have gotten his contacts…" she mumbled, regretfully.

Tian Ruyi turned to her and said, "Basel is just the neighboring city, we'll come back to meet him, Mengmeng."

…

Upon arriving at Basel, the group stayed at an apartment that has three rooms. It was going to be the place where they would have to remain until Lu Mengjie's due date arrived.

Since the couple has already escaped their stalker. They knew that Bai Keran would not be able to complain or ask them about their whereabouts since he was supposed to not know where they were.

For the following days, Lu Mengjie didn't leave the apartment but it wasn't the same for Bai Jingye. He shortly had to return to Japan and go back to the Mainland for work so Tian Ruyi was left to take care of her. Even if Bai Keran would wonder why he returned, his grandson could easily make up an excuse.

"My first impression of him was not really good. He was such an asshole you know," said Lu Mengjie. She was sitting at a teakwood bar stool while she watched the other woman peel the apples at the counter.

"He only did those things to make you hate him," Tian Ruyi said with a chuckle.

Lu Mengjie rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I almost hated him for being a jerk."

"He's a good person tho. He may not look like it but he actually values the friendship he has with others. It's just… after what he has been through, he doesn't trust anyone so easily but if you prove to him that he can trust you, he will turn to an angel and treat you kindly. That's the kind of guy he is."

"Then do you like him?" She inquired upon remembering what Bai Jingye told her about his fake relationship with her.

"He's totally not my type at all. Let me be honest, okay? My relationship with him is not real. He is not my lover. He's like a brother to me and having feelings for him will be disgusting!" She was expecting Lu Mengjie to be surprised about the revelation but when she saw how calm she was, she couldn't help but ask, "did he tell you about it already?"

"Yeah… that day when I was in the hospital."

"See? Even he doesn't have feelings for me! I'm totally going to reject him if he began having such weird romantic feelings!" She scrunched her nose in disgust when she thought of dating that guy.

"Really? You don't like him that way? Not even a little bit?" Unlike before where Lu Mengjie wanted to try to work her relationship with Bai Jingye, she has long changed her mind. They were not married and she didn't want to think of falling for him especially when she was pregnant with another man's child. It would only complicate things for them both.

"Not even a little bit," Tian Ruyi replied confidently. "Why? Are you going to make a move on him?" She paused from slicing the apples just to look at her, wiggling her brows as she gazed at her teasingly.

Lu Mengjie waved her hand in front as she quickly denied, "no way. Of course not. I'm pregnant and I might be a married woman already you know."

"That's true…" She heaved out a sigh as she mumbled, "although it'll be nice to see Jingye dating someone already. He's always so busy with work."

"He... never dated?" She asked, wide-eyed in shock upon hearing her friend's revelation.

Tian Ruyi placed the plate with sliced apples in front of her before she replied, "I told you, that guy has some serious trust issues. He avoids everyone the same."
