“No, it’s just a dream. It’s not real,” whispered Chen as he hugged her tightly and hoped to use his warmth to piece her broken heart together again.
“I know…” The refres.h.i.+ng scent of Chen’s firm chests was calming her down.
“I mean—everything we have right now feels so unreal, that—I was afraid…”
Afraid of seeing my nightmare coming true. It’ll be too late by then.
I don’t want to lose our lives now. I don’t want to lose you, even though sometimes I feel like I am undeserving of all of this.
“Yang, trust me. He will never be able to find us here.”
But—m-maybe Chen is right—yeah—maybe…
“Mhm.” Zhaoyang nodded and her hand slid over Chen’s cheeks.
Dreams are meant to be a projection of the opposite of reality. So, whatever happened in my dream just now will never become reality!
I mean—he’s still Yunting’s uncle after all and both of them are good brothers. No way he would pull the trigger just because of me.
Yeah, it will never happen.
Right.
Like, Huo Yunting doesn’t love me at all. He did not get angry out of envy or a broken heart, it’s just because his toy has escaped his grip, so he’s throwing a tantrum for the moment, like a kid.
Yeah. Things will be fine again…
At least it was just a dream…
Zhaoyang was relieved as she slowly closed her eyes while curling again in Chen’s embrace. Before she fell asleep, she could feel his giant hand gently tapping her back while she heard a whispered lullaby. She was too old for a lullaby but she was too worn out by the drama that she dozed off without notice.
Chen stared at the sleeping baby in his embrace and smiled as he placed her carefully back onto the bed. He pulled his blanket over her. He sat next to her, as his warming eyes watched her quietly.
All I could do now is to be Yang’s companion, as well as her guardian.
He gave a kiss on her forehead, “Good night, princess.” He whispered. Time flew as dawn came before he realized it and exited the room silently.

Meanwhile back to Country Z, where Thunderbolt Corp. was located, it was still night.
At one of the fancy residences in Wonderfall Garden, a loud gasp could be heard. Mo Shan vigorously flipped through the report she received with her eyes and mouth growing larger with each page discovered. Her fingers were shaking as the paper was wrinkling up upon her grip. A few pages even flew underneath her sofa.
It was more entertaining than the Fifty Shades movie on her laptop.
Such drama! Oh my Thunderbolt Huo’s and Lu’s!
She almost wanted to scream.
G.o.d is on MY side, after all! I knew it! I knew it!
There was enough solid evidence to stir up a hurricane!
Her men had collected different types of exhibit and observation logs as well as a profile containing the witnesses with their testimonies.
According to the evidence, both Huo Chen and Lu Zhaoyang knew each other a long time ago. They were very close, so close that Huo Chen would visit Zhaoyang’s university whenever he had the time.
A thick stack of photos fell out of the envelope as Mo Shan poured them onto the table as if unveiling treasure in a chest. Those were the photos from the security cameras inside and outside the campus.
There was one particular photo where Huo Chen gently picked the cherry blossom petal off her hair. Those suggestive eyes, that smile of his, and that Zhaoyang ‘s shocked expression were obviously gestures between only lovers.
That was not it. From the testimonies provided by her coursemates, Huo Chen was dating Zhaoyang at that time. “Literally everybody in our course knows it!” Quoted the slender man from Zhaoyang’s cla.s.s.
Oh wow, they definitely had dated before. Such juicy information!
“Hahahahahahaha!!! Ahahahahahahaha!” Mo Shan could not help but burst out loud upon the thought. Her fingers were trembling as she tightly gripped the precious doc.u.ments.
“Fantastic! Fantastic!”
I might not be able to reveal the actual relations.h.i.+p between Lu Zhaoyang and Yunting, since that would only stop me from getting him.
But Huo Chen is different! He has nothing to do with me! And he will be my weapon to destroy Zhaoyang for good!
Imagine if the entire family knew about their previous relations.h.i.+p. Ohhhhh the drama!
She got up from her sofa and retrieved the scattered folders all over the floor.
Wait—Does Brother Yunting know about this?
Is he aware of their relations.h.i.+p?
I have investigated Lu Zhaoyang but there was no a.s.sociation with Huo Chen back then.
Based on that—and what happened at the party that night, Huo Chen recovered from a coma and everything had been confidential until he returned.
“That’s why—that’s why I could now find things about Huo Chen.”
“Therefore obviously none of the Huo family knows about this!” She stormed into her room and changed into a different coat, “h.e.l.lo, get me the car right now,” she ordered, “And the quickest flight to Kyoto.”
“We have work to do.” She smiled.
