Squatting on the ground, Yufan grabbed his sisters shoulders and asked, "What happened?"

Lifting her head up, when Yifie saw her brother, she started sobbing harder. Pouncing into his embrace, she started crying her heart out. ​​

Patting her back, Yufan tried to calm her down, "It's okay, I am her now so calm down okay? Why are you crying? Did something happen?"

When Yifie did not say anything, Yufan scooped her into his arms.

Placing her on the bed, Yufan cupped her face and asked, "Stop crying and tell me what happened." Before wiping her tears away.

Clutching onto his sleeves, Yifie said, "He is back."

Yufan narrowed his eyes and asked, "How did you find that out?"

"His men chased me in the hotel today. They tried to capture me and I even saw him. He told me that he would kill me the same way-"

Pulling her into his embrace, Yifan patted her head. "Sshhh everything is going to be okay, I am there to protect you and I'll make sure he doesn't even touch a single hair of your body in the future. Why didn't you take the guards with you?"

"I was supposed to meet my manager at the hotel but she wasn't there." Yifie said.

Yufan frowned and asked, "Your manager? You mean the new one?" When Yifie nodded her head, he added, "So was she there when you arrived at the hotel?"

"No she wasn't, I tried calling her but the call did not go through. I tried to look for her but I didn't find her anywhere and then a few men dragged me away. I somehow managed to escape and then a man helped me out of the hotel." Hugging her brother tightly, Yifie cried harder. The incident that happened several years back still haunted her.

Clutching his hands into a fist, Yufan gritted his teeth. He hated how terrified his sister and wife were of Roger. So many years had passed by they still shivered whenever anyone mentioned Rogers name.

After coaxing Yifie to sleep, Yufan tucked her into the blanket and left.

...

Next day.

Yichan and Ning's place.

"Babe where is my tie?"

"First drawer."

Taking out his tie, Yichan asked, "Babe, where is my watch?"

"It's on the bedside table."

"Babe, where is my wallet?" Yichan shouted.

"It's right there beside your watch."

"And what about my socks?" Yichan asked.

When Ning did not say anything, Yichan pouted his lips. "Babe, my socks."

Waiting for a couple of minutes, Yichan sighed and took a new pair of socks from his wardrobe.

"So you knew where they were."

Yichan widened his eyes in shock and gulped in nervousness. Turning towards his wife who was glaring at him, he grinned, "I found them."

Ning sighed and helplessly shook her head before walking towards him. Taking the tie from his hand, she lifted his collar up. "You have been living all by yourself for so many years, you undoubtedly know where your things are Yi."

Wrapping his arms around her waist, Yichan vigorously shook his head. "No, I forgot where I kept them."

Ning: O_O

How can someone forget something that he has been for so many years? Ning very well knew that her handsome husband was trying to act innocent again.

Grabbing her hand, Yichan kissed her knuckles multiple times before placing it on his cheeks. He obviously knew where his things were but he loved when Ning instructed him. The thought of his wife taking care of his things and knowing where they exactly were, made him feel very special and happy. That feeling was something he couldn't express. The immense happiness and joy that he felt each time Ning told him where his things were, made him feel so proud and blessed.

"What are you doing?" Ning asked.

Rubbing his cheeks against her palm, Yichan smiled, "I love you babe."

Tiptoeing, Ning gave him a peck on his lips and chuckled, "I love you my Yi more."

"When will you come back today?" Yichan asked.

Fixing his tie followed by his collar, Ning answered, "I'll be going out somewhere and then I'll pick everyone up to attend Bruce's show. I'll be home by evening and make dinner for us."

"Hmm Bruce, sounds like a guy." Yichan said.

"Well, it sounds like a guy because he is a guy." Helping him with his blazer, Ning asked, "Why? Do you know him?"

"Nope." Why would he want to meet any of her guy friends? Yichan was very sure that there were many Roger's who wanted to snatch his wife away from him so he had to let everyone know that Ning belongs to him as soon as possible. Everyone must know that she is no longer available because now and for the rest of their lives and many more to come, she was his forever.

…..

After Yichan left for his office, Ning got ready and left.

She was about to step into the car when Meili called. "I have canceled all your meetings and your schedule is clear now."

Getting into the car, Ning thanked Meili before asking, "Did you clear your schedule too?"

"Yeah I did, you'll have to pick me up from my place." Meili said.

Pausing for a while, Meili asked, "Are you really going to meet him?"

Ning sighed and asked, "Do you know anyone who can help us right now apart from him?"

"Hmm, I don't know Ning but he is weird. You know how sly he is."

Ning nodded his head and chuckled, "Yeah but hey, do you think he still likes you?"

Meili rolled her eyes and snapped, "He literally likes all of us."

"Haha that is true too, anyway I'll go and try to convince him to help us."

"Do you think he will agree?" Meili asked.

"No idea but I guess we can try."

Bai mansion

Father Bai was rushing around the living room holding the latest newspaper in his hand which had a picture of his son and a beautiful woman in the front page.

"Dad, you need to calm down." Nuying shouted at her over excited dad.

"How can I calm down? How? This is actually the first time your boring brother has managed to drag his name into a scandal and that also with a very beautiful woman." Father Bai shouted.
