Watching the clouds sail across the sky, Jiang Xiuying took a deep breath. Clenching her fist, she felt a surge of different emotions rise in her.
She was finally going to see Zheng Tianyi after five years of being apart from him.
Sigh....It's funny how fate teases us.
Looking at the glass walled restaurant, it was safe to say it had been reserved by Zheng Tianyi. No single soul was present in the restaurant.
Xiuying scoffed. " Privacy my butt" It was finally time. Time to see Zheng Tianyi after five years. Her time of revenge is near.
She entered the restaurant and was led upstairs by the receptionist to a room that resembled a bookstore?
" Wait a bit. Mr Zheng would join you shortly " The receptionist informed and left. She came earlier than the agreed time so it was normal for him not to be present yet.
Taking the opportunity he wasn't around, she decided to walk a bit around the bookstore. It consisted to giant shelves on each sides of the room and two chairs opposite each other placed beside the glass wall with a splendid view of the outside world.
Xiuying could imagine how awesome the view from there would be at night.
Time flies fast. Before she knew it, she had spent about an hour appreciating the interiors of the room she was. She quickly adjusted the bangs of her shiny silver hair. There was no need to apply a make up on her naturally smooth skin. She had only applied a lip balm on her full pink lips. Still, her beauty was radiating enough to make the sun pale in comparison.
In the next ten minutes, Zheng Tianyi would arrive. Her heart was jumping in both nervousness and excitement but she managed to calm it down with the thought that he doesn't even remember her.
That was the real truth. He has no recollection of their past or her. They would be basically stranger's on their first meeting.
It would be a new beginning for both of them. A new opportunity for her to set things right and fulfil her kids wish.

And the long awaited moment is finally here!!!
The sound of the opening door was enough to make Xiuying's calmed heart start palpitating once again. She had to pinch herself to prevent herself from flying into his arms.
Five steps closer!!!!!
Four steps closer!!!!Three steps closer!!!Two steps closer!!A step closer!Jiang Xiuying finally raised her head seeing his shiny black Italian leather shoes.
She looked at the face she longed to caress. So near yet so far. His cold russet eyes casually glanced at her. It felt a bit intimidating and unfamiliar unlike his warm eyes that she was used to.
Although it was just a brief glance, he was unable to get rid of her beautiful face that had gotten a space in his brain. Her appearance carefully engraved in his heart.
Xiuying was lost in thought looking at his ever handsome face. His usually warm face had been replaced with aloofness and arrogance. His easy going vibes had been replaced with an imposing aura that seemed suffocating.
Zheng Tianyi smirked seeing her in a daze. He didn't bother to go through the formality of introduction himself.
Han Sen whose presence hadn't been noticed coughed to gain her attention. " Can we get to business?" He greeted her out of respect but she was too engrossed looking at the specimen before her.
Zheng Tianyi sat down and elegantly crossed his legs. Expecting her to do the same.Xiuying pinched herself to bring her lost soul back to reality. She successfully managed to sit facing him.
" I will make this as fast as possible. I don't have the intention of transferring the shares to you. It wasn't my fault in the first place that you were very slow to react to a given opportunity. The 30% shares is very precious to me in some ways. "
Zheng Tianyi's eyes darkened when she called him a slow person.
He was only 24 hours late okay?!
Seeing he didn't reply, she brought out a contract and pushed it on the table that separated them.
" I gave it a thought and decided to do this. I didn't get the contact through monetary exchange and I'm willing to do the same for you. The shares would be given to you for free" She uttered every single word slowly but clearly.
Han Sen was quick to pass the document to his boss.
Zheng Tianyi began going through the contract.
" Of course, you just need to sign the contract then the shares would be under your name. We can discuss about it if you have a problem with any of the clause written there so it can be revised." Xiuying reclined on the chair. She was trying really hard to maintain her role as the person who has the upper hand. If not for what she wants in return, she would have willingly transferred the shares to him.
The temperature of the room kept on dropping by degrees as Zheng Tianyi continued reading the contract. He smirked and his cold gaze rested on him.
" What do you mean by this" He asked as he threw the Contract back on the table.
A cupid arrow shot through Xiuying's heart seeing him smirk. There were both in different worlds.
" Just like I said, if there is anything you wish to change we can talk about it."
She flipped her shiny silver hair backwards and flashed him a wide smile with her pearly white teeth peeking out of her supple lips. " Marry me then the shares becomes yours"
Han Sen eyes snapped open and turned to the petite courageous lady that just made a statement." Do you even know what you want?"" Of course, I almost went bankrupt after purchasing the shares. I need a big thigh to hold."
" If I remember correctly, you blackmailed Fu Jing and Chen Yi to get them transfer their shares to you." Zheng Tianyi's lips curled up in satisfaction seeing her blush in embarrassment.
" It was not my fault that they were scum. I only thought them the right lesson. In their next life, they wouldn't cheat on their wives." Jiang Xiuying laughed sheepishly.
" You dropped this" A young man in a light pink hair extended his left hand that was holding an handkerchief towards Jiang Xiuying.Jiang Xiuying turned her neck to look at the person who was seating beside her that just talked. Her eyes flew open as she kept on staring at him without an intention to collect the handkerchief he stretched out to her.The man grinned widely and placed the handkerchief in Jiang Xiuying's hand then took his hand to his lips and made a zipping sign. " I know you must be surprised to see me on plane but don't post a picture or spread the news online" He told her lightly still smiling widely.Jiang Xiuying played with the handkerchief for a while and placed it on her laps. " Why should I take your picture or spread the news online?"" That's because.... Wait. What? You mean you don't know who I am? Ahhh....I get it now. You must be pretending right?" He spoke very swiftly staring at her as if she was an alien.&
After knocking twice on the door of the study and getting no reply, Jiang Xiuying paused her lips and looked downstairs holding the rail. She saw from afar that Midori was still seated where she left her. " I wonder if she would be able to pass the test" Jiang Xiuying rested on the rail and cupped her chin using her left hand. It's time for her to choose her fifth personal maid. It was a tradition for the females of Lu Family to have a different personal maid every year. Her first maid was already happily married and had just given birth to a son. She made sure to give all of her previous personal maid a happy ending. She had immediately liked Midori as she saw her sharp eyes that reveled the kind of person she was. She preferred people that doesn't look innocent at first glance than those ones that look like they are scared of wind caressing their skin. Thinking about it reminded her of her fourth personal maid that looked innocent but due to her efficiency, Jiang Xiuying had
Sunlight rays peered into the room where a sleeping beauty lay. Jiang Xiuying stirred a bit and lazily opened her eyes. She looked around the room and rested her eyes on a young handsome man seated far away from her reading a magazine." You are awake?" Lu Beichen asked closing the magazine and walking towards her. Jiang Xiuying nodded and weakly stood up with her eyes half opened. " Wash up and come down for breakfast " He instructed and left the room." What was that? " Jiang Xiuying murmured looking at the closed door of her room. She shook her head and yawned loudly without closing her mouth. " Aish....how long was I asleep? I feel so light" She fell back on her bed and rolled to the other side of her bed reaching for her phone. She turned on the screen but found it powered off." Aish... " Jiang Xiuying sat up on her bed scratching her head. Another loud yawn escaped through her mouth. She stretched her arm up feeling sore all over her body. " A warm bath w
Hmm....." Zheng Tianyi nodded thoughtfully. " I already did a background check on her but found nothing wrong. By the way, do you believe in fate? " He asked Li Shang the same question Jiang Xiuying asked him when he inquired about the reason why he and Yuxuan looked alike." What's that coming from your mouth. Haven't you always believe in coincidence why are you suddenly talking about faith?"" Never mind..... What brings you here at this time of the day. Are you that less busy that you need Grandfather Li to set you up on another blind date?"Li Shang moved away from Zheng Tianyi. " You are giving me chills. I only came to check up on you. I heard you haven't been taking your meds even after Yucheng made another one for you at the research facility "" I'm okay. I don't need to take the drugs since they won't even work. I keep on dreaming even after taking the pills. "" What?" Li Shang asked sounding alarmed. Zheng Tianyi nodded his
" Alright...that's all for today. Ms Zhou, you should get some rest. We can schedule another day to record the song. It seems you haven't gotten yourself in the mood of the song. " Zhou Kexin heard as soon as she got out from the recording booth.Zhou Kexin forced a smile on her face " Okay. let's call it a day" She nodded at him and walked out of the recording room with her assistant trailing behind her." Sister Kexin. You sang pretty well today. Not bad" Her assistant said smiling brightly behind her.Zhou Kexin let out a little laugh " Alright Xiaoling. You don't have to make me feel better. I know I didn't perform well today" She said modestly. That was one of the attributes that made Xiaoling admire her boss." Sister Kexin, you are too modest" Xiaoling said as they walked out of Caomei Entertainment.* * * * " Mr. Li, President Zheng is not available. He is currently in a meeting " Liu Li said as Li Shang approached her office.
It was a Sunday and also the day of for the workers at the Zheng Tianyi's mansion.Zheng Tianyi and Yuxuan sat in the dining room enjoying dinner made by him. Zheng Tianyi noticed that Yuxuan didn't know how to use chopsticks so he began to feed him the pasta he made.While they were eating , the familiar melodious sound of his ringtone sounded interrupting the quiet time of the father and son duo.How shall we long for ♪Where we are going ♪No matter how frustrating it can be ♪♪You are my soulmate ♪" What is it?" Zheng Tianyi asked with irritation evident in his voice." Sir, the CEO of ZG group is here. He requests your presence."" Let him wait for a while" Zheng Tianyi replied and hung up. He couldn't help but wonder what his Uncle was doing at his place at such a late hour. Rather than hurrying up, he did everything at his own pace. He was sure his uncle won't mind staying outside for an hour.
