“I must ask then, why her? Why Li Na?” Wang Dawei let out a frustrated groan he couldn’t believe what he was hearing from his friend.

Lu Jianjun didn’t speak for a while so Wang Dawei ought to reason himself, “Lu Jianjun, What’s going on here? I thought you’ve decided to keep the relationship and the girl indoors, then what makes you decide on going public with her.”

“I’m not taking my relationship with her in public. I only want her to attend the reception.”

“But Lu Jianjun-”

“Don’t ask why…I’m not explaining anything to you now,” Lu Jianjun said with displeasure.

He resigned to fate. “Alright, I won’t ask anymore.”

“Why do you call so late?” Lu Jianjun asked after a while walking back into the study room and sitting on the chair.

Wang Dawei hesitated but unlike Lu Jianjun he can not deal with emotional matters all by himself he needs the assistance. Wang Dawei pinched the bridge of his nose, his eyes glued on the name ‘Venus Smith’ written on the place of the Bride’s on the invitation card with complex emotions swirling in his eyes, and then said in low voice, “Lu Jianjun? You think I should go!?”

“She would be there.”

“You’re invited, I’m sure they don’t see you as a problem anymore,”

Wang Dawei hummed.

Lu Jianjun remained quiet, his gaze turned on the study table to land on the golden card, he hesitated before picking it up and open the card. Lu Jianjun hadn’t read the card till now when prior evening Butler Wu had given him along with the bouquet and gift box with an invitation. Somehow, the name on the card made him think of the girl in the house and Lu Jianjun asked Butler Wu, “Where is Li Na!?” then Butler replied the girl has been in the bedroom the whole evening. Lu Jianjun felt unusual as he got up to check on her. The moment he stepped out of his study room, he saw Li Na walked out of the room. She was about to step outside the entrance. “Where are you going?” he asked. She gave him a one-word courtesy and walked out of the door. Followed that they had a fight car parking. At that time, Lu Jianjun hadn’t thought of attending the event but now he wanted Li Na to witness it. Perhaps, seeing Zhang Han wedded to another woman might force her to reveal the truth about her. Or if she is truly Li Na then the event shouldn’t bother her at all. Her reaction should be worth the risk to clarify the situation.

“Decide on yourself, don’t do anything you won’t be able to handle” Lu Jianjun replied to Wang Dawei lastly and cut the line.

On the other hand, Wang Dawei had expected this answer, he had to decide for himself. Facing Venus Smith again after seven years feels like a long-lost dream to come true. He’d meet her while working in an intelligence agency and they’d worked together. So if Zhang has sent an invitation to Wang’s then it’s clear Venus held no reservation of past against him now. After all, it was his elder brother Wang Yunkun who had picked up then the newbie actress of GQ Mei Lein to be his wife. Wang Yunkun was a married man with a son, he’d lied to Mei Lein about his wife been dead when his wife was very much alive and fine just because he wanted the young beauty by his sides along with some underline reasons he’d for his business with the underworld. Maybe, Venus would have forgiven his brother Wang Yunkun for just lying to Mei Lein as the girl was saved from the hoax marriage but it was his actions that infuriated the girl as he’d spend one night with Mei Lein mistaking her to be Venus in the State F which was enough to make any girl bitter towards the male friend who wishes to sleep with her.

Wang Dawei set the invitation aside and set his mind as he got from the chair and walked out of the room. ‘He’ll go,’ not for just the sake of invitation but for the love he’d and to give the bride who had his heart all blessing for the future. She deserves every bit of happiness.

….

Old Zhang Residence;

Zhang Han stopped his car steadily in front of the grand villa. The decoration of the event was in full swing and he could hear the voices from insides growing in intensity as he approached his home. Most of the Zhang family members were present as they were discussing tomorrows’ event preparation sitting in the room.

Assistant Lin stood at the sides giving all the details of the arrangement to Zhang Genji, Zhang Han’s elder cousin sister who assist Madam Zhang in her business sat beside the old lady sharing the progress of the event. Lei Chow sat beside her mother and grandmother chatting with her friends on phone and Master Zhang quietly sipped from his teacup not bothering himself with ladies’ talk.

“Uncle, Han!” Lei Chow said as she first saw him entering the hall room, all eyes instantly shifting towards the man. “Welcome back, you’re late!” Lei Chow cheerfully greeted the man. Zhang Han gave the young girl a smiled as he walked towards the sofa and sat beside his father.

“Where is Aunt Venus, you didn’t bring her with you?” Lei Chow asked noticing as she closely looked at the door before turning to check the man.

“She’ll be here tomorrow!” Zhang Han replied taking a glass of water offered by the house main.

Both, Zhang Genji and Madam Zhang’s expressions changed when they heard Zhang Han, their faces looked shocked and displeased. They have arranged a family dinner night for the newly wedded couple but now the better half was missing tonight.

“Brother, everything’s alright!?” Zhang Genji probed further in her patient sweet voice.

“Hm, Mei Xing had some urgent work came over at the last moment so she’d to canceled the flight but she assured she’ll be here before the noon.”

“Hope so,” Zhang Genji said softly and smiled at her cousin brother. “You must be hungry, I’ll ask the maid to ready the dinner right away,” she asked and Zhang Han nodded then Zhang Genji turned towards the Butler and asked him to make the dinner preparation quick.

“Oh, noo…” Lei Chow mourned, then she looked at Zhang Han and reproach her feelings, ” I was eagerly waiting to meet her. And Today Grandmother, asked to prepare most of Aunt Venus’s favorite menu, you know we haven’t had a single-family get-together since the wedding, I was really looking forward to having her tonight with us all!” Zhang Genji replied to her daughter, “We will get plenty of such occasions together, don’t be so disappointed, dear.” Lei Chow nodded in understand and busied herself in her phone.

Zhang Han looked over his mother who had now gone back to her discussion with the Assistant. It was very rare to see Madam Zhang had so much affection as this to go and allowed to have a single person’s favorite menu occupied otherwise it would have more variety than the people having the dinner. It might be because she’d known how much Mei Xing loves to cook occasionally and possibly this is the one trait that her mother-in-law could relate to.

Though Madam Zhan had not voiced her displeasure about Mei Xing’s absence but noticing her grim face Zhang Han could tell she was feeling extremely dissatisfied.

“Zhang Han!?” Master Zhang called and he bend forward to keep the empty teacup on the table.

“Yes, father!” he replied.

“I heard from Zhang Genji last week someone had infiltrated your new house?” Master Zhang asked seriously.

Then suddenly, Zhang Han was remembered for the night of meeting with Lu Jianjun. Though the man had left the meeting in the middle as an emergency came and he too had to left after him. Suddenly, a wounded girl’s face flashed in front of him. He’d no recollection of her but that girl seems to know him when before fainting she’d called out his name. Li Na! LI NA was her name and she was someone special to Lu Jianjun. He’d not meet her afterward nor he tried to get an update on her but that night’s encountered and the wounded girl had left a vague imprint on his memory.

“Were they thieves?” Master Zhang interrupted his thought.

“Hm, local ones I guess, they did an attempt to broke into the house, but don’t worry father! Infiltrator couldn’t get too far the front door’s security system,” he answered and Master Zhang nodded. “The new system is been installed and once Mei Xing returned we will set biometric scan together.”

Zhang Genji frowned hearing it,” You shouldn’t take security issues so lightly, Brother! And setting biometrics again can’t you restore the previous ones.” she was skeptical about the whole lock thing since the house was purchased the newly wedded couple haven’t spend a single night in the house as they had planned to move there before marriage But after marriage Mei Xing had ignored staying there whenever there was an opportunity she’d just brush it off.

“No, we had to reset it all over again, the lock system was completely destroyed.” Zhang Han explained and Zhang Genji felt something fishy about the breakout. Whereas Zhang Han was thinking of talking about Li’s corporation matter with his father. Lu Jianjun had proposed to take business and before Lu Jianjun approached for the deal again he’d to make it clear.

“Have you find out the culprits?” Madam Zhang questioned.

“Based on the CCTV footage it won’t be long until culprits will be arrested,” he told and then the Butler came to invite the family into the dining room.

While going towards the dining hall, Madam Zhang stopped her dear by hand asked the other to go ahead. In the chandelier-lit wide corridor, Madam Zhang carefully watched her handsome son’s features. She could see the cloud of worry on him. though he smiled sweetly at her she couldn’t resist him asking, “Are you happy or not in this marriage.” Shocked, Zhang Han remained numb for a while, he’d not expected his mother to directly ask him this.

“Zhang Han, You make me worry so much now a day,” Madam Zhang said with a heavy sigh. She’d seen her son’s these past few he was turning into a completely indifferent person. His time is now limited between work and sleep. She’d thought after marriage he would be the happiest man but somehow marriage has turned him into more aloof. She dared not ask him, if there is a problem between the newlywed couple and if they’re not happy in this marriage because if it is so then it will leave everyone in the family devastate. They’d seen Zhang Han chased around Mei Xing from his early teen it would be truly heartbreaking to see them apart.

Madam Zhang noticed how Zhang Han’s face turned uncertain as to if he was confused about something. She then saw his eyes dropped down on his wedding ring. He touched it lightly and took a deep breath and answered, “Nothing to worry Mother! We’re all good, just busy in our own workspace.” he assured the old lady as Madam Zhang sighed in relief. If her son is saying nothing to worry then she believes him.

After dinner, everyone talked for while before they retired to their respective room. And Zhang Han had to put up a normal face the entire time just so his family won’t suspect a thing about his lonely mood.

In the bedroom, Zhang Han waited for himself to fully calm down before raising from the sofa. He then headed to the bathroom taking a set of clothes just to close the door when he heard vaguely outside amid the splashing water. His heartbeat rose unconsciously tightening his grip at the sink area. He hoped to see Mei Xing. Could it be she came back to surprise him? His eyes glimmered and he instantly turned around pushing the bathroom door open. Out in the room, his eyes roamed in the vacant area only to fall down on the sofa corner, curled up on the side was a scrawny white Persian cat. The moment the cat saw her master she leaped out of the sofa and went behind Zhang Han. He smiled and went back to getting freshen up when the cat jump onto the sink and sat there her sapphire blue eyes watching him with pleasing air while fawning her majestic tail.

After freshening up, Zhang Han laid down the bed and the fluffy cat followed him around the room like a shadow then she too climbed on the bed and curled up near the next pillow. Zhang Han opened his cellphone and dialed the “Love” from his contact. It rang a couple of times but the other side didn’t receive it. He tried again and again, and at last send a few voice mails. He tried to sleep but couldn’t so he keep on sending voice messages to another side.

“Mei Xing! I miss you, call me back! Okay!?”

“Wish I had you here, dinner was good but it would be better with you,” when the cat heard his voice she sat up alert, the pet could sense the remorse in her master’s voice so got up put her head on his chest, and curled up. Zhang Han didn’t mind his hand went to caress the snow-white fur as he continued to talk sending voice messages to his wife.

“Call me when you land, I’ll come to pick you up!” he kept on blabbering thing for her of his day until he got annoyed of his own impatience.

” Good night, sweetheart! See you tomorrow!”

“I love you, Mei Xing!” was his last voice and text message before Zhang Han drifted into sleep.

In the same city, in a hotel near GQ’s building where all the prominent actors and actresses stay. In a luxurious room, a girl sat on the bed with legs crossed and her head buried in her knees as she listened to voice messages play one after the other. The “I love you Mei Xing” text message flashed on her phone screen along with it played in the voice of a man to who she’d given all her life. Her shoulders shaking slightly as she continued to stare at the phone near her feet. When it became unbearable, she grabs the cell phone and smashed it on the wall, and lifted her tear-stained face as she cried out in aggression, “I hate you! I hate you, Mei Xing!” she repeated over and over again and broke down.

“If he will forever love you, I’ll forever hate you! ” she cried in low murmurs and she hid her face in between her knee caps and cried like a lost baby.

After mourning for a while, she got up and stood by the window with her dead eyes watching city lights, she was feeling utterly bitter but couldn’t find a way to vent it out. Then her eyes fell on the lover’s ring on her delicate finger and all bitterness bubbled up again in her chest. “You disappointing me, I wanted you to feel the pain of separation but all you did was miss her, day and night like a mad. You couldn’t even blame her once for leaving you alone, alright then,” she brush the tears rolling down her cheeks and hardened herself.

“I’ll make you pay for again and again breaking my heart, Zhang Han! You just wait for tomorrow,” Mei Lein’s eyes flashed with coldness.
