The make shift office in the site was full of people. It was a good thing that it's winter thus they only needed couple of stand in heaters to warm tha place.
Their meeting has been cut several times already but they only thought that Liu Zijian must be really busy as he would take the call always.
They were actually pumped up thinking that Sir Second was giving them his precious time even though he's really busy.
It was only Ye Ming that was probably aware who's the culprit of those calls. It wasn't because he could see the screen of Liu Zijian's phone but because he could notice his reaction when answering.
That kind of expression would only appear if he's talking to his wife.
"Can I come?" Han Meixiu asked after she realizing that coming back home might bore her to death.
Their car already entered the familiar street of their compound.
"No, it's inconvenient here. Take a rest. We have something to do tomorrow." Liu Zijian answered.
If he's in a decent office, he wouldn't mind. But right now, there's still on going construction in some area and there's simply no place for her to stay.
He didn't want her to be exhausted again like yesterday.
"O..okay.." Replied and sighed after ending the call.
Liu Zijian mentioned that in a week's time, she could probably start working in LCG. But on how to let a week pass without doing anything, that's her problem.
Even though she wanted to invite Li Xiaozhi, she knew her best friend was busy trying to help Aunt Jing's daughter.
Should she also stick her nose in?
Han Meixiu shook her head. She didn't want to invite more trouble into her life. If they would ask her to help, she would though.
Then again, would they even think about asking for her help?
No.
Being alone at home while Aunt Ni Ni was busying herself, Han Meixiu took out the package Brother Long gave her before they left Q City.
Yes, it was that picture.
Liu Zijian looked incredibly beautiful. Maybe it was because his cheeks were painted with a light pink hue or his eyes were intoxicated making him attractive in her eyes.
The dress he's 'wearing' wasn't really fitted as the shoulder looked loosely hanging but it didn't affect the overall beauty of her husband. It was a simply adorned dress and black colored that was in contrast with his complexion making his aura shine.
He really looked like a cold and alluring beauty.
His painted lips were slightly opened as if inviting someone to ruin him.
Han Meixiu blushed with the thought.
She wished to really see him personally like this. But realizing that there's no way she could travel back in time, she was just thankful that she received this memento.
Maybe if ever she would feel bored, she would just entertain herself with this.
She smiled and looked more intently as if memorizing all the details in the picture.

"Where are we going?" Since she had plenty of rest the previous day, Han Meixiu was able to wake up early.
"Hospital."
"Why? Are we going to visit someone? Aunt Jing?"
"No. It's for you."
"Huh? I'm not sick."
"Check up."
"I'm already fine." Han Meixiu insisted but Liu Zijian didn't comment further.
It's true that she's already fine but they would visit the hospital for another reason.

"Appointment with Dr Tang?" Han Meixiu asked when she saw which department they entered.
"Mmmm." Liu Zijian responded as they walked towards the doctor's clinic.
Han Meixiu was speechless.
'What is he thinking? Why do I have to see Dr. Tang suddenly?'
Remembering the doctor, Han Meixiu also recalled her entanglement with the white peony paper weight.
What could be the story behind it?
It was actually the first thing that Han Meixiu searched the moment they were seated inside her clinic.
Unfortunately, it was nowhere to be found.
Did it break?
But it would be really strange if she would ask about it. As she was thinking on how to casually mention the thing and probably its relevance, she caught up something in her husband and the doctor's conversation.
"Pregnancy?"
"Don't worry. With the plan that your husband presented, it wouldn't be a problem." The doctor answered gently.
Han Meixiu looked at Liu Zijian questioningly.
Plan?
Why does she feel something isn't right?
When did Liu Zijian plan this pregnancy thingy?
With the sudden information she caught, she forgot what she wanted to do.
It was only when they were inside the car that she remembered about the paperweight.
Since she couldn't go back and just ask about it, Han Meixiu temporarily let it go.
There would be plenty of time she could ask the doctor about it.

"How many times I told you, never call me when I'm out!"
The woman angrily shouted over the phone. Her assistant has been sending her signals since yesterday.
But she's busy 'cleaning up'.
"I know but Leader, the target that you said to be the most important sent you a message." The assistant responded.
He knew that once the leader is out, no one is allowed to call her. Only if it's an emergency or any special circumstances, he could send a signal.
The target that their leader was someone very important. Thus when he received the report about what happened, he immediately thought it's considered a special circumstance.
'My baby?' The woman perked up. Hearing the reason behind the endless pestering of her assistant, her irritation slowly subsided.
"What did she say?"
"To quote her 'Don't be a coward and show yourself'."
The woman released a loud laugh as she felt amused by the words.
"Should we do something about it?" The assistant politely asked. It's not good to provoke their leader, thus he's expecting an order to teach the target a lesson.
"No. Just wait for my return. Just let them continue what they're doing."
The woman answered and ended the call.
Her pleased smile and twinkling eyes were in contrast to what state she was in.
Her cream night dress was spattered with droplets of blood and the gun she was holding was still warm from the shooting. There were at least three dead people lying on the floor.
Their corpses were still warm.
A knife was kicked out to the corner of the room.
'My dear baby, if you'll continue to show me your attitude I might really change my mind and take you away from that brat.'
She thought as she walked out of the room that was now in a mess. It's impossible to sleep in there.
Geez, she needed another place to stay.
Even after that woman's death, bugs were still scattered around. It would take time to finally clean up the entire organization.
Zhang Huiling sighed.
Someone dug up her previous life and got a hold of her personal information.
Normally, no one would know who's she before inheriting the position.
Someone must have provided such information to these annoying bugs.
Since there's a possibility that her past life might be exposed, she wanted to take her daughter in. But then again, it seemed she's inseparable from that brat.
Wasn't that the reason why she added another layer of protection to her daughter?
It wasn't because she didn't trust the Liu Family, but it's better to be sure. Until she the time she's finished cleaning up, her baby might still be in danger.
She wondered if she would meet her in person or not as she opened the door and ordered the people waiting outside to clean up the mess.
