Yuan Rui left the hospital the Monday morning that following week but during this time, he wasn't as depressed as before. Every time Jiang Hui Yin or his cousin visited him, he'd pretend everything was normal, but he longed to see his wife Zhi Rou.
During the last night at the hospital, he went over all the information Huang Yunshen gathered for him on her for the tenth time. He saw also that she had no phone number registered to her and the number she left was of her neighbour, an elderly man.
Picking up his phone, he called his attendant, Qing Shan to visit him. Qing Shan arrived at the hospital, "I want you to get the guest room in my Shenmin Guodu residential complex ready for Miss Liu to stay in. After my release tomorrow, we'll go pick her up then go shopping for her essentials."
Qing Shan looked at his young master confused. Hesitantly he asked, "Won't Miss Jiang be furious after hearing about Miss Liu?"
"Speaking of Jiang Hui Yin, change the access keys and passwords. Prepare three, one for myself, one for Zhi Rou, and the spare for you. Also let the security guards know that Jiang Hui Yin, my parents, siblings, and Zhao Nianzhen are not allowed in and out without permission," he instructed.
Qing Shan's mouth hung open. ‘What in the world happened to the young master after he met this Liu Zhi Rou?’ He heard from his other young master Huang Yunshen that his young master Yuan Rui met a beautiful woman and seemed at ease with her around and even referred to her as his wife. ‘Why?’ Qing Shan wondered. ‘Because of the recent developments between Mr. Zhao Nianzhen and Miss Jiang Hui Yin?’
He was instructed by Huang Yunshen to secretly investigate Zhao Nianzhen and Jiang Hui Yin's interactions, and he immediately did. He found out just within a few hours that the two were secretly meeting up and had an intimate lunch together, also backtracking their spending bills, Zhao Nianzhen has been spending much of the company's money on her.
It was even more shocking when Huang Yunshen told him to look into his young master's accident because an anonymous tip said that Jiang Hui Yin and Zhao Nianzhen were behind it. He was told to be discreet about this matter because there might not be evidence left.
What he couldn't understand was why the elder brother would go after the younger brother and still steal his girl. When he asked this question to young master Zhao, he was asked a simple question, "Didn't Zhao Nianzhen become the acting president for the time when his young master was in the hospital?" He agreed with Huang Yunshen that stuff might be fishy, and he would definitely look into it.
Bowing, "I understand, young master. I will complete each task before your release tomorrow. May you sleep well tonight."
Yuan Rui waved his hand for the younger boy to stand up straight. "And please inform Ms. Yan of Shattered Crystals that she should prepare engagement and wedding bands for my wife and I; we'll be picking them out together."

The next morning the release papers were signed, and Yuan Rui used the control to wheel himself out of the hospital. Arriving at the entrance, his mood dropped. The media personnel were all over, flashing their cameras.
"Mr. Zhao, is it true that you tried to commit suicide?" One reported asked him.
"Why did you try to kill yourself?" Another threw the question at him.
His bodyguards dressed in all black came to his rescue, blocking everyone out of his way. He wheeled himself to the RV that was specially built for him and waited for Qing Shan. He climbed in, closing the door and the RV drove off.
Yuan Rui sighed, looking at Qing Shan he asked, "How did they find out?"
He shook his head, "Young master, I don't know but I will look into it because they weren't waiting out front when I arrived."
It was 9 a.m. and he wondered if his wife was at home. They drove for thirty minutes due to the traffic and arrived outside her building. When Yuan Rui got out of the RV, he looked at the run-down building and frowned.
It's a good thing he planned ahead and made preparations for her to stay with him. Yuan Rui was at a loss. The building had so many steps leading up, one of the bodyguards had to pull him on his wheelchair into the building.
First, it was five steps in front that the wheelchair was pulled up. They headed down a long passageway then he was pulled up three flights of fifteen steps. He sighed when they stopped on the third floor at her door. He felt so utterly useless and embarrassed.
"Young master, please don't be depressed, it can't be helped," Qing Shan quickly said, trying to comfort him. "And besides, we're here, so smile," he added.
Yuan Rui nodded. He raised his arm and knocked a few times. There was no answer, making his heart race, 'Did I come here for no reason?' He knocked again anxiously a few times. Something was thrown against the door from the other side, and it sounded heavy.
There was no answer, so he banged with his fist against the door furiously. "Young master?" Qing Shan said helplessly. ‘This was the right door but why wasn't she answering? And who knew that his young master could be so persistent? He always got his way but now, why the change? This woman Liu Zhi Rou was something else!’ Qing Shan looked at the bodyguard who was also surprised at their young master's behaviour.
The door swung open, and an angry looking, half-asleep woman opened the door with her hair in a mess. She was wearing a white tank top which her pink nipples could be seen through. She had on grey shorts that were up her ass from behind, but they couldn't see it.
Zhi Rou glared at the two standing behind Yuan Rui. She wanted to step forward and grab them by their shirts, but she bumped into something. She looked down and was surprised to see that it was her husband.
She beamed. Zhi Rou jumped on Yuan Rui, sitting down and wrapping her arms around his neck. She kissed his cheek. "Husband!!"
Yuan Rui's cheeks were flushed red from embarrassment. She was on her side on top of him and he could see that her butt was eating up the shorts she had on. Her cheeks from underneath could be seen along with her thick thighs.
He coughed to clear his throat and asked, "Aren't you going to let me in?"
She continued kissing his cheek then nodded, "Sure go in. I'm not getting off you."
He chuckled lightly with a shake of his head and wheeled himself in. The space of her living room was very small, and his wheelchair was big, "Move everything!!" she yelled at the top of her lungs and the two men behind them immediately went to work.
When they were done moving everything, she was happy, then jumped off, running to her bedroom. She squealed as she dug her shorts out of her butt. "I’ma get ready then make breakfast, hold on."
Yuan Rui didn't have time to respond to her because she slammed the door in their faces.
Qing Shan excused himself because he still had some work left to do and the bodyguard Miki stationed himself outside Zhi Rou’s apartment. Zhi Rou came out of her bedroom wearing a red top that cupped her breasts perfectly. Towards the waist, it blew out a bit and when she twirled in it, it flared up. She paired the red top with black shorts that hugged her butt and wore black gladiator sandals. She smiled at him as she tied her hair up in a ponytail, "Ready for breakfast?" He looked at her from where he sat. "Can you cook?" He asked sceptically. She flung her hair to the back and nodded, "Sit tight handsome, and I'll be done in a few." Zhi Rou walked past him into the open kitchen. Yuan Rui watched her walk over and couldn't help but think her butt that was out was c
Yuan Rui gazed around the living room and saw that there were paintings resting against the walls. He wheeled over and looked at them. Picking up the first painting, he saw that it depicted beautiful scenery. The nearer clouds in the sky were dark grey with a purple undertone, and the ones in the distance were lighter, changing from blue to purple. The sky was lit up by bright purple lightning, with some streaks bright white streaks enhancing the effect. On the ground were pinkish-purple roses with dark green leaves and stems. The ground itself was hidden by the flowers and grass that grew but there was a clear path down the middle as though one had walked through it paring the roses. The feeling Yuan Rui got from this painting alone was ethereal. It gave off a surreal feeling but made him wonder why the beauty captured in this painting was angry. The anger c
Yuan Rui informed Zhi Rou that all her stuff was going to be moved to his apartment and the landlord was notified and paid three months' rent so that he wouldn't complain. Yuan Rui put on a black surgical mask before they went into ShanMall where they needed to purchase her essentials. Zhi Rou was against buying clothes for herself but Yuan Rui made up an excuse of "You will be a rich man's wife soon, so you need to dress well." Rolling her eyes, Zhi Rou gave up but told him that she didn't want clothes that were too expensive. She pushed him through the busy mall. They were drawing attention from everyone. They looked like a happy couple, a wife pushing her husband in fact. Walking into a jewellery store Yuan Rui said, "You aren't allowed to spend less than 10,000 Yuan in this shop. Your jewellery limit is 30,000 Yuan."
Yuan Rui smirked. He pulled out his phone and texted a list to Qing Shan of what Zhi Rou needed to get. Yuan Rui also told Qing Shan to print it and bring it to him and to help carry Zhi Rou’s things around. Qing Shan was done with all his work and was currently looking through video footage that he found at a store near where his young master's accident had taken place. He had contacted all the stores that were in the area, but they had excuses saying that their cameras were broken or there was no footage at all. Only this store had no excuse and let him go through it. He paid the shop owner to keep quiet about this and took the footage with him. Zhi Rou pushed Yuan Rui into one of China's leading designing brands that his sister owned, Mian Bag's, a branch of her Zhao Mian legacy. Thanks to the mask he wa
After Qing Shan left, they went into a perfume shop where Zhi Rou tested over fifty fragrances and finally picked one named “Moss.” She looked at Yuan Rui, "Honey, how about this, how does it smell to you?" she asked as she dabbed it onto her neck. Yuan Rui felt warm and fuzzy hearing Zhi Rou call him honey, especially the way she said it so naturally. She sat down on him and stretched her neck out. He hesitated for a moment then slowly lowered his head down to her neck. Smelling her neck, Yuan Rui accidentally brushed his nose against Zhi Rou’s skin. She gasped and froze for a moment. She raised her head, slowly coming face to face with Yuan Rui. His eyes met hers, sending him into a tranquil note. It felt as though he was swimming in an ocean looking into her eyes
Yuan Rui, Zhi Rou, and Qing Shan moved further into the mall. Zhi Rou looked around at the different stores and spotted another jewellery shop that advertised piercings as well. Her eyes sparkled and she made a beeline to the shop, surprising both Yuan Rui and Qing Shan. The shop was small, and the wheelchair couldn't go further than reaching the counter in the centre of it. She walked around Yuan Rui and stopped at the counter. Zhi Rou greeted the young man behind the counter. "Good morning, my boyfriend and I want to pierce our noses." "No, I don't!" Yuan Rui interjected. Zhi Rou turned her head to look at him and pouted. "But baby, you said you'd do anything I want today since it's my birthday and I want us to get nose piercings – you know? Like couples shirts but a couples nose piercing."
The assistant wanted to say, 'His wife just spoke about buying a 10,000-piece puzzle that alone cost more than a mere book' but kept her calm and smiled. "I'm sorry but there is nothing we can do." "Nothing you can do? I'll go call the security guards and report you to management!" Another of the women protested. Qing Shan didn't like the attitudes of the young women but since his young master was patiently waiting, he didn't have a reason to react. But just because he didn't have a reason, he couldn't believe that Zhi Rou was nowhere to be seen. There was only one door, and she couldn't have left the shop. As he was scanning the back of the store, he saw her walking towards them. Her expression told him that she was displeased and Qing Shan hoped that she'd do something about them.
Zhi Rou was tired of shopping, so she pushed Yuan Rui past all the stores and headed to the food court. It was very busy and there weren't any tables open for them to sit at. Zhi Rou scanned the lines then pushed Yuan Rui into the crowd while yelling with a smile. "Excuse me, coming through, sorry." The crowd looked at them and even those who didn't want to move were forced out of the way because of her overbearing self. She stopped and lined up in the KFC queue. Yuan Rui groaned to himself. Zhi Rou was doing everything uncalled for, things that he's never done before nor seen. They arrived at the counter, and she ordered. "Can I have five wrap meals, a chicken burger meal all with Coke, please." The cashier ran up the order and watched as Zhi Rou paid with the black
