Han Meixiu felt extremely uncomfortable. She wanted to move but she was seemingly being restricted.
As she opened her eyes to find out her situation, she saw an all white painted room.
There was also a man who was sleeping beside her. It didn't take another second for her to recognize him.
'Jian!'
She wanted to touch his face but when she moved her arm she suddenly felt an excruciating pain.
"Ah!" When did she injured her shoulder?
Her reaction made the man opened his eyes.
"You're awake!" He immediately pressed the easy call button on the wall.
Han Meixiu forgot to what she wanted to think and observed the young man instead.
His eyes were slightly red and there were dark circles below. It was an indication that he didn't have enough sleep. His complexion was also pale and there were few stubble appeared on his face. There were also evidence of bruises on his face that was now almost healed.
Han Meixiu wanted to speak but found out that her throat was dry. She then looked around. She found an empty glass and a pitcher beside it.
"Do you want some water?"
Han Meixiu nodded.
Liu Zijian carefully filled the glass and assisted Han Meixiu to drink slowly.
The doctor then came in.
After checking Han Meixiu and explaining her situation, the doctor left.
"Jian, how long did I sleep?"
"Three days."
"I see. What happened while I was..."
"I'll tell you when you get better. For now, focus on your recovery."
Liu Zijian knew she has many questions but he's not planning to let anything disturb her recuperation.

In the Liu residence, Madam Liu was pacing back and fort after receiving a call from the hospital.
She was currently in the study and Liu Zilong was getting dizzy following his mother's action.
"Mom, please sit down."
"Meixiu dear is awake. Do you think Little Zi would let us visit her, now?"
Madam Liu could still remember how angry her younger son stormed out of the Liu Residence that day.
"We can only wait. But judging from what happened, only sister in law could persuade him to talk to us."
Liu Zilong after being called back tried to act as a mediator but in the end, Liu Zijian's anger extended to him.
He was also forbidden to see Han Meixiu, too.
"It's your father's fault! He should have discuss it first with Little Zi!" Madam Liu started to get angry again.
"Mom, calm down. Father only wanted what's the best for both sides."
"Best?!? What's best in that? Meixiu dear is lying in the hospital and Little Zi is angry."
Liu Zilong sighed. He's been acting as a mediator too between his parents as well. Although he knew it was just his mom getting upset for the same reason over and over again, he couldn't really scold her.
It was a good thing that Liu Zijian finished all the important works already thus he needed to do only supplementary things the past few days as Liu Zijian never showed up in LCG as well as in any hotel he's managing.
"Shall I try talking to Little Zi, again?"
"That's right, maybe your brother would be more lenient now that Meixiu dear is awake." Madam Liu excitedly said. She hoped that Liu Zilong's talent to persuade someone would now work against Liu Zijian.
"Okay. I'll try but I don't want to promise. Don't raise your hope too high, mom."
When Liu Zilong left, Madam Bai walked towards the living room.
She didn't have a heart to go to LCG.
Deep within she actually understood her husband's decision but at the same time she also understood her son.

"Second Young Master, First Young Master is here." Ye Ming said as he placed the food of the couple on the table.
Liu Zijian looked at the young woman who was peacefully sleeping on the bed. After she woke up earlier, they only talked briefly about their plan of going back to K country when she felt sleepy again.
"I'll meet him. Stay here and monitor her. If she wakes up, call me right away." Liu Zijian said and went out after giving a slight kiss on the young woman's forehead.
Ye Ming was already immune in those kinds of intimate gestures thus there was no reaction written on his face.
He was fully aware of what happened the past days and how chaotic those days were. Not just to Liu Family but to the entire country.
His Young Mistress became an instant celebrity overnight. She became extremely popular and her pictures suddenly popped up everywhere.
Who wouldn't know her?
Two of the most sought after young masters from powerful families were basically fighting for her. She became an epitome of beauty for the younger generations.
There were even girls who followed her hair cut and it became the most fashionable hairstyle nowadays.
Since Ye Ming investigated Han Meixiu in the past with the order of Liu Zijian, he knew she wasn't really sociable.
But after the event of that night, she instantly gained many friends. Those people who were clearly riding Han Meixiu's popularity so they could appear on national television, were uttering non sense.
Some were bragging that they were classmate in this subject and even ate together. Some said they used to hang out and even shopped and took a vacation together.
Ye Ming wanted to laugh out loud. His Young Mistress had only one friend and those people who were claiming they interacted with her were probably non existent to Han Meixiu's memory, provided that what they were saying were true.
It was really crazy. At least three days after, the news started to quiet down a little though there were still reporters loitering around the hospital and Liu's residence.
Surprisingly, the news about the explosion of the mansion was never mentioned.
Ye Ming knew who was behind the suppression of the incident.
If LCG could gather information, they could also suppress it.
Since Mr. Liu was involved, they didn't give that occasion another thought even though his curiosity was killing him.

Both Young Masters of Liu Family was standing on that man-made open air garden located on that same floor where Han Meixiu was being confined.
"My answer is the same. No one is allowed to visit my wife. You're wasting you time here." Liu Zijian dismissively said after seeing his brother.
"I thought you're a lot calmer now because sister in law is already awake. But I guess you still need some time."
"Calm? Seeing her bruises and cast, do you really think I can calm down? To think that my own father was partly responsible to it, how do you think I feel?"
Seeing that his brother was starting to get agitated again, Liu Zilong swallowed down his argument. He normally wanted to say it was for the better but his brother might punch him again.
"Just listen to Dad first..."
Before he could continue, Liu Zijian already turned around and left.
Liu Zilong couldn't help but sigh.
'This is hard.' He muttered and called his mom.
"Let's wait a little more, mom."
