She put on her home slippers and walked inside slowly.


She initially wanted to find out what he was doing, but she got a great fright when he popped up out of nowhere.


“Oh goodness!” she gasped, clutching her chest in terror. Soon, a warm fuzzy feeling filled her heart the moment she saw him getting down on one knee with a bouquet of roses in one hand and a red ring box in the other. She was completely caught by surprise.


“Yun Chen…”


“You may have agreed to marry me but I haven’t proposed to you yet. I’m proposing to you now to make up for it. Darling, this is a wedding band that I’ve meticulously picked out. We’re supposed to wait until our wedding day to put it on, but since you’re fated to be my wife, it doesn’t matter if we put it on now.”


She extended her hand toward him and said, “Put it on for me.”


He gently slid the ring onto her ring figure before handing her the roses.


Mo Li was overwhelmed with joy as she admired the beautiful red roses.


She took it from him and gave the petals a sniff before saying with a smile, “I’m really elated.”


“You look beautiful when you smile. You must smile more often. I have another gift for you,” he said, holding onto her hand.


“What?”


“Come with me.”


He pulled her into the bedroom. Mo Li was kept in suspense, though she was already surprised enough.


He got her to sit down on the bed and took out an exquisite, rectangular box that was pink in color. Handing it to her, he said, “Will you open it and see if you like what’s inside?”


Mo Li placed the roses onto the bedside table and took the box from him. She held his gaze and untied the ribbon.


She opened the box and peeked at the item inside.


It was the red embroidered dress that she wanted the most.


She hurriedly took the dress out to see that it was indeed the one she had been eyeing but could not bear to buy because of the exorbitant price.


She was initially planning to buy it after it goes on sale. To her surprise, he’d actually bought it.


“How did you know that I fancied this dress?”


“I would know because I pay attention to you. Try it on and see if it fits.”


“Let me take a shower first. I’m all sticky and sweaty. I don’t want to dirty the dress.” She was extremely meticulous when handling the dress.


No. 8 burst into laughter and said, “You’re supposed to wear the dress anyway, how could you be afraid of dirtying it?”


“This dress is so expensive, of course I have to be careful when wearing it.” She then grabbed a towel and entered the bathroom, beaming with joy.


She came out ten minutes later and tried on her new dress, which fit her perfectly. “How did you know my size?”


“It was a rough estimate based on the sizes of the clothes you usually wear.”


How meticulous. She handed him her mobile phone and said, “Hurry, take a few photos of me.”


No. 8 took a few full-body shots of Mo Li, after which she took it off and stared at it in utmost awe and admiration. “Yun Chen, where did you get so much money? This dress alone costs more than 2000 dollars.”


“I’ve been saving up the allowance that I get. Well, there’s nothing else for me to spend money on anyway.”


He stepped forward and planted a kiss on her lips, after which they soon fell onto the bed and engaged in a sensual smooch.


At the end of it, he said, “Before I met you, I used to think that there won’t be another woman whom I’ll genuinely love. However, I changed my mind after meeting you. Mo Li, regardless of the dark past we’ve had, from now on…” He raised her wrist and noticed the scar left behind from her suicide attempt. “I won’t let another man hurt you again.”


Mo Li’s eyes reddened. Although he was three years younger than her, he was much more mature and seemed to be three years older instead.


“Yun Chen, thank you for still being willing to love me and letting me know that there’s still hope in life. I’m really, really so happy today. I’m on cloud nine and I’ve never been so elated before,” she exclaimed, hugging his waist.


“It makes me glad to see you happy. Since we’re both in such high spirits, let’s do something even more enjoyable. Shall you be on top this time?”


Mo Li glanced at him bashfully and agreed, “It’s your call.”



It began drizzling at the harbor in S Nation. It rained frequently during summer, which was great since it would cool the temperatures down.


The yacht finally arrived.


Fan s.h.i.+xin and An Xiaoning felt like a heavy rock had been lifted off their chests.


Two bodyguards were standing at the harbor, each holding a black umbrella. They were none other than Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang.


The two of them were standing as still as statues. Upon the sight of the yacht approaching, they stepped forward together and chorused, “Young Madam, Chief.”


“Such sharp eyes you’ve got. You came especially to pick us up,” said An Xiaoning.


Xiao Huang answered, “That goes without saying. We’ve been paying attention to your location, Young Madam.”


Fan s.h.i.+xin glanced at him and asked, “Where’s Young Sir?”


As was his wont, Jin Qingyan should have come as usual to pick them up personally upon hearing that they were returning. Why was it Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai instead? Could it be…


“We didn’t know if we should handle him with force because we couldn’t reach you or Young Madam. Hence, we just got the rest to keep tabs on him while waiting for you guys to return before making a decision.”


An Xiaoning got out of the yacht and said, “You did the right thing. However, what was the precursor of this relapse?”


“Young Madam, ever since you left, Young Sir has been suffering from severe insomnia again, and he also instructed me to help him prepare some sleeping pills. Young Madam, pardon me for being blunt, but Young Sir’s condition has been becoming more and more erratic. Even Doctor Zhang said that his condition will worsen if this goes on. He also suggests that we continue searching for an expert abroad who’s capable of treating Young Sir’s condition because we don’t know when the next relapse will be. However, Doctor Zhang also said that he thinks our current solution is more advisable because knocking Young Sir unconscious is not going to solve the problem. After all, it’s still a psychological disorder that’ll require proper treatment.”


“How many days has it been?”


“Two.”


“Where is he now?” asked An Xiaoning, who thought that he would be at the nightclub.


To her surprise, Xiao Huang said, “He’s at Hu Xin’s house.”


An Xiaoning squinted and asked in confusion, “Who? Hu Xin? Why have they met again?”


“The bodyguard who was following him told us that they b.u.mped into each other when Ms. Hu began working as a janitor in Jin Corporation.”


An Xiaoning said to Fan s.h.i.+xin, “Let’s carry the corpse home first. I’ll go look for him later.”


“Okay.”


Before setting off on their journey home, An Xiaoning and Fan s.h.i.+xin placed the corpse into the trunk of the car and sat inside the backseat. After some thought, An Xiaoning said, “Begin searching for a psychiatric expert who specializes in this field. We mustn’t delay at all. We’ll try stabilizing his condition first. Things will definitely get out of hand if his condition relapses every other day.”


“Yeah, I thought so too.”


An Xiaoning looked out of the window, feeling rather perturbed.
