The mysterious man in the Black Mercedes arrived in his house that night. He walked slowly into his house. A middle aged woman was sitting, waiting. As soon as she felt his presence, she asked " Where have you been ". " No where, just roaming " he answered. " You went looking for her again didn't you " she asked. He let out a heavy sigh and walked towards his room.

Lu Residence
Lu muchen's car drove into the compound of the Lu residence. He parked in the garage and both ladies came down from the car.
" Goodnight both of you " madam Lu said to his son and daughter in law. " Goodnight " both said back to her as they entered into their house.
Butler Huo met them right at the entrance. He bowed to them as a sign of greeting.
" Should i serve some tea " butler Huo asked. Lu muchen looked at Cheng Yinan but she shook her head saying No." It's okay Uncle.. Why don't you go to bed now " Lu muchen said to him. Butler Huo nodded and turned to the direction of his room.
The couple headed up stairs to their room.
Both were very tired, they each took a shower and went to bed.
The next morning came with the sun trickling it's way into the couple's room.
Chen Yinan woke up, shifted slightly in order not to disturb the man next to her. "Leaving me already " Lu Muchen spoke with his husky morning voice. " Well, it's morning" she said looking at him, who was smiling at her brightly.
Chen Yinan didn't understand why he could look at her with so much affection in his eyes. I mean he has only known her for such a short period. She stared at him and mumbled to his hearing " How and why".
Lu Muchen looked confused at her words.
Chen Yinan decided to satisfy her curiosity.
" How do you look at me like you've known me for ages, Why do you look at me with so much affection in your eyes" she spilled it all out. Lu Muchen was a bit startled but he chuckled at her question.
" First of all i feel like I've known you for ages and I do feel something for you" he said with all sincerity. "but how do you feel something for me" she still didn't understand him.
Lu Muchen sighed and held both her hands in his big palms. " You know the first time I meet you was at the airport" she nodded and he continued. " staring into your eyes that day made me feel things which i had never felt.... I felt a strong sense of protection over you, i felt the need to keep you by my side" he paused and continued. "I Lu Muchen had never done anything on impulse but i did the moment saw you among the blind dated" Lu Muchen poured his heart out to her.
Chen Yinan did not know how to react to this somewhat confession. "so you like me" she said more so to herself than a question to him. He nodded. " so that's your reason for wanting to marry me". Again he nodded.
Chen Yinan was silent for a moment before she said " it's already morning we need to get up". She just changed the topic and started walking towards the bathroom . Lu Muchen sighed and stood up.
Chen Yinan turned back and walked towards him, she quickly planted a kiss on his lips and then ran to the bathroom. Lu Muchen thought to himself 'silly girl' and smiled.
That same morning in Yang Ruoxi's house, she woke up with a severe head ache.
She slowly stood up and made her way to the kitchen. She opened the cabinet above her head, brought out some rice. She washed it and poured it into the rice cooker, poured some water over it. She turned the rice cooker in then headed to the bathroom.
Yang Ruoxi came back, turned off the rice cooker. She scooped up some congee for herself and ate it.
Yang Ruoxi planned to stay at home all day.
She sat on the couch locating the Tv remote.
Her phone began buzzing. She looked at it and it was a call from her dad. She reluctantly picked up. "hello" she said. " Ruoxi come back home today we need to talk it's urgent" Mr. Yang said to her. "okay Dad" she said feeling her day about to be ruined.
