Feng Shihan sipped the tea quietly staring at his broken leg for a long time.
"Really?" He replied and chuckled lowly "Well this out of mine is sad and wants to go home. I haven’t even told I love her properly, at the start she was just a remedy for me to fall asleep at night but now, now that I can fall asleep without her...it just doesn’t feel the same. It hurts that I wasn’t there during most of her pregnancy, I wished I could have shared her laugh and pain with her."
Uncle Xi smiled, what it felt great to be younger, endless possibilities when you’re old. Everything is a set in stone.
"Then heal fast so that you can go back home without too many results. Your wife won’t care about your absence if you come back. I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life kid. I wish I could have been brave like you.."
Uncle Xi stood up patting Feng Shihan’s shoulders before leaving.

"I feel like an invalid being on this wheelchair.."
An Yu eye rolled as he pushed Leia into the elevator, he tapped the button for the 5th floor and leaned against the wall when he was done.
"Say...An Yu..."
Leia tugged his shirt drawing his attention back to her.
"What do you want?"
An Yu opened his eyes, staring down at Leia with a cold expression.
"Are we friends?"
"..."
She raised a brow, why was she suddenly asking such a question.
"Could we be even ourselves friends? We’re just 2 people who know each other and live together.."
Leia nodded that was the exact what the relationship sounded like, they rarely talk, only when they needed something from each other did they....
"Black..."
"Huh?"
"The middle of your hair is turning black..."
Leia chuckled and nodded she guessed the dye must have been wearing off.
"I’m not a natural blondie.."
"You’re not?..."
"No, I just changed my appearance a bit when I came here. Say do I look better with black hair or should I continue being blond.."
An Yu stroked his chin and squatted, Leia leaned back trying to put some distance between them.
"Do you have to be this close to tell which color better suits me?"
Leia stared at her leg for some reason she couldn’t look at him face to face.
"Oh...you’re beautiful no matter what the color of your hair is... I was admiring your features.."
Leia face reddened as she averted her gaze, anywhere was better just now his face.
"D-do you usually talk to women like this?"
"No I’ve seen only 3 beautiful women right now.."
Tang Xue Mei, Leia and Rong Shihua An Yu thought you himself. Rong Shihua might be young but she was definitely a beauty.
"You’re very honest An Yu...but they say men do tend to lie when they’re in a relationship..."
"...."
"I’m honest about certain things, but I do lie my way to get out of many things. It’s too much work being honest some times.."
Leia chuckled this was the first time she had seen someone complain about being honest was hard work.
"Have you ever thought about what you’ll go when you don’t have to go back to bodyguarding?"
An Yu stroked his chin, he wanted to live a quiet life, he didn’t mind being a potter he had always been artistic but life had forced him to go down the root of bodyguarding.
"I actually haven’t told sister Tang yet but I plan on resigning once brother Shihan returns.."
He would enrol to a set university and try to add some meaning to his life.
"That’s a big step...but I’ll be rooting for you!"
An Yu nodded it was also best for them, he wanted these feelings for Tang Xue Mei to die as soon as possible.

"It’s been two days why hasn’t she called you for a job yet?"
Piak!
Yang Dakie held her cheek as she backed away from Ye Chen Ling. That’s right, the mysterious woman had turned out to the fashion icon Ye Chen Ling.
"I can only wait for her to call me, if she calls that means she isn’t suspicious of me..."
"Bullshit you must have slipped up somehow...I’ll be putting your weekly supplies on hold. Next time you better not disappoint me.."
Yang Dakie head lowered, she was regretting everything now, she wished she could go back home, she didn’t even want to be Tang Xue Mei’s enemy anymore.
She had been abused, beaten, trampled upon by Ye Chen Ling. She didn’t know how long she could take it.
"I understand...thank you for your magnanimity.."
Ye Chen Ling waved her hand as she sat down on the couch, she crossed her leg and sighed.
"You haven’t gotten close to Tang Xue Mei and those idiots haven’t found Feng Shihan. Your uselessness is placing a dent in my plans...but I don’t mind, I’m an opportunist...so there’s always an opening.."
She took a sip of the champagne and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
"While you’re there...I want to make Tang Xue Mei lose those kids. Push her off the stairs or poison her food or something. Anyways I don’t want Feng Shihan to meet those kids..."
"..."
Yang Dakie’s eyes widened, she hated Tang Xue Mei but didn’t know if it reach the point where she wanted to kill her children.
Wasn’t there a limit to such cruelty?
"Next you’ll take those eyes of her, make her invalid...let’s see if Feng Shihan would continue to love a woman like her..."
"..."
Ye Chen Ling laughed when she saw Yang Dakie expression. She had far worst things in stored for Tang Xue Mei. This was only a tip of the iceberg.
"What?...Do you think I’m too cruel?"
Ye Chen Ling felt flattered it wasn’t everyday she got to see expressions like this.
"That’s also going to happen to you if you keep disappointing me.."
