Wenqian was happy beyond words. So many new things happened to her that day that she thanked God a zillion times. She decided to go to the temple to offer prayers to the deities. She had lost hope that she would ever meet Vladimir in her life. But today he had suddenly showed up on her doorstep. She was so stupefied to see him. He had aged but he looked as handsome as ever. When she saw him, she cried. Vladimir held her hands but did not touch her any further as he knew that she did not belong to him anymore.
More than her, he was eager to meet Wu Lina. Wenqian's first question to him was, "How did you know about Wu Lina?"
"Wenqian, I have been banned from entering some countries including China, but I had kept my sources updated about you. As soon as I came to know about you, I came running even if that meant that I had to bribe so many officials."
"But why are you banned, Vladimir?" asked Wenqian, as puzzled as ever.
