Honglin smiled eerily and still proceeded to talk. "I was invited to an important event. Would you accompany me?""I am not going." She ignored him and opened the door to enter inside.He blocked her, wrapping his hand around the doorknob to close it. "Weren't you invited?"She frowned slightly but she had a feeling that this was her parent's doing. "Even so, I am still not going."He grabbed her hand and enclosed them in his own. "You need to go out more often. We are engaged for so long but we are hardly seen together in public. People are starting to ask questions."She pushed him away. "Since when did I care about what people say or think?"He clenched his teeth and sighed. She was misbehaving again, showing him her rebellious and difficult personality. He was asked to bring his fiancée to accompany him in order to close an important deal with an overseas company and he had already suspected that she would refuse his request. Things were not as they used to be in the past. Last y
Honglin stood fuming as he watched them dance across floor, his colleagues and employees sending him looks of pity and embarrassment. Everyone knew that according to the rules, your companion was supposed to have your first dance but here she was waltzing with another man!She was really slapping him across the face!But Chunlan was having the time of her life with her new friend who was nervously clenching her waist seeing all the men stare at him with jealousy. They suddenly felt that their women were dressed a little too shabby today when they compared them to the woman on the dance floor.Honglin was patiently waiting for the music to end when he overheard some men were whispering behind him."Did you know what recently happened earlier this week?"His companion shook his head in ignorance. "No, what is it?""I heard that the heirs of the Mo and Cai family forced their fathers to step down from the company, becoming the youngest patriarchs at the age of 29!"Honglin was stunned b
Honglin watched the romantic scene in front of him and continued struggling intensely against the bodyguards that were restraining him. He said. "Leave my fiancée alone! She is not yours anymore!"Jihai didn't even spare him a glance, keeping his eyes in the woman in his arms. "Are you sure about that, Honglin?""She is no longer yours anymore, you scoundrel! You should be dead! You hear me? Dead!" He said."Then you must be the biggest fool in the world." Jihai"s eyes sparkled as he guided her to stand beside him, his hand gripping hers tightly. "Did you think that it was that easy to snatch the woman I love away from me?"Honglin looked at Jihai, hatred corroding his heart. "Jihai, do not think that just because you have become famous and rich, you can do whatever you want! Chunlan, come here!"Honglin's secretary ran to him with an anxious pace, whispering into his ear desperately. "Sir, I just got a call from headquarters. Tangxi Hotels has just signed an alliance agreement with S
*FLASHBACK*Menxiang held the letter she got from Mo Bingwen standing in Chunlan's hospital room. She was searching for the perfect place to conceal the letter yet somewhere easy to access since her best friend was blind. Ah! She smiled as she placed it under the pillow biting her lower lips as she worried about who was going to read it to her."Forget it! As long as its safe, I can come back to read it to her." She jerked when she saw the door open, her hands hastily arranging the pillow before she smiled. "Lin-ge, what are you doing here?""I wanted to see Chunlan since it was time for my lunch break. Where is she?" Honglin asked."I think she has gone for a test in the lab. I was also feeling hungry, how about you take me out instead?" She wrapped her hands around his arm, her eyes blinking cutely. Menxiang wanted him out of the room so that she could ensure the safety of the letter."Alright, let's go then." Honglin shook his head, smiling dotingly.About an hour later, Chunlan w
Tang Huizhong felt even more irate after hearing the explanation that Chunlan gave him. He gripped the edge of the desk more tightly. "Are you telling me that Sakai Sumiyoshi is in China?"Chunlan who was now closing her eyes tightly in fear heard her father's question and frowned. "Yes, he is in China.""Where is he?" Chunlan felt that question fall on her like a bomb, causing her lips to tremble and her head to be filled with sweat. The atmosphere was plunged into silence and she didn't need eyes to know to feel her father's intimidating eyes on her. She could hear her sisters' sobs behind her, the poor girls scared out of their wits.She sighed. "I can't tell you, Father. Please forgive me."Tang Huizhong stood up, his fist banging the table as he angrily pointed at her, trying to walk to her. "Cannot tell me?! You stupid child! Do you know who you are helping?! Do you know the kind of situation you have put us in?"He was quickly restrained by his wife who looked at her daughter
Jihai was currently in his new office facing his two friends who were also sitting down discussing. With all three of them dressed in suits, the room was filled with manly elegance and nobility making his Japanese secretary blush anytime she entered the room. He kept turning his pen as he stared at them, engrossing in deep thinking. Cai Longwei and Mo Bingwen were arguing over a business proposal when they noticed Jihai was quiet.Sharing a look between themselves, Cai Longwei decided to ask. "Has Chunlan called yet?""No." Jihai dropped the pen to stand up, walking to face the city view through the glass windows behind his chair."Don't worry so much. I am sure she is fine. Tang Huizhong won't kill his own daughter." Cai Longwei tapped his shoulder comfortingly and placed them back in his trouser pockets."What excuse did your parents give my father-in-law about your succession?" Jihai asked.Cai Longwei chuckled with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "They told him that we somehow fo
Menxiang stared at the stranger's eyes with an intense gaze as she ignored the hand in the air. She saw Bingwen walk to them, his hand bringing Shen Ji's hand down to enclose it into his own. He said. "Since you two are now familiar with each other, we will be leaving now. Good day."Menxiang closed her eyes as he passed her holding Shen Ji's hand, but when she opened them, tears blurred her vision making her unable to see Jihai's sympathetic gaze and Longwei's guilty eyes on her.Jihai explained. "We have somewhere important to go. When I am not busy, I will buy you a meal later, okay?"Menxiang watched them leave and finally let the tears fall down her cheeks. The surrounding employees in the room didn't dare look at her, each one hurrying to go about their business. She turned around and left the building.Jihai and the rest watched her enter her car as they parked in a building not far from the company to make sure she wouldn't try to follow them. As they watched her drive off, he
Tang Huizhong stood at the door, listening to Chunlan who was on the phone. When he heard Jihai speak about Shen Ji, he immediately entered inside the room and collected the phone from her. Chunlan who was initially startled inhaled his cologne and stretched her hand to retrieve the phone saying. "Papa, is that you? Give me back the phone!"Huizhong ignored his daughter and spoke to the phone. "Jihai, tell me. Do you really have Shen Ji?"Jihai smiled. "Greetings, Father-in-law. Its been a long time since we have met. Why don't we meet for a business din-""Don't play with me, boy. You don't want to be my enemy." Huizhong growled at the insolent boy.But Jihai's smile widened further as he turned to the Bingwen's questioning gaze. "I dare not, Father-in-law. But I am afraid its truly not convenient for me to discuss the details right now, that's why I am proposing a meeting.""Tell me the time and place." Huizhong said, his eyes straying to his restrained daughter who was strugglin
