He stopped when he saw students gathering near the fountain. Feeling disappointed they would be parting now, he warned himself as an adult and someone older than Xiao Yun. Bringing her out from the trip now while she's enjoying with her friends, he knew better not to do that. "I'll be a little busy tomorrow. Take care of yourself and don't forget to call me if anything happens. Remember, no matter how small it is, okay?"

Xiao Yun separated her hand from his with longing and showed her little pinky. "I promise, take care of yourself."

"You too." He replied not moving from the spot until he saw Xiao Yun safely back with her group. Jang Hyun looked from behind, appearing from the shadow casting on him.

Wang Li Lei took a sideway glance and gave a cold tone. "The person?" He asked the tip that they anonymously received.

"They are not here. Your words are right, master. Mr. Choi is here for something different." Jang Hyun saw Wang Li Lei turning his back to the car and followed from behind like a shadow.

"Something different-" Wang Li Lei whispered and heard Jang Hyun talked again while reading something on his phone.

"Master, we have just received another news, Mr. Choi has gone back to Korea."

Taking the clues, Wang Li Lei solved the puzzle from the little clues that he received. "Choi Kang So. He must be here only to bring his little brother back."

Jang Hyun's brows crooked and the skin between his brows wrinkled. "Mr. Choi planned to sponsor the young lady's school trip only to aim for finding his little brother?"

Wang Li Lei entered the car that was opened beforehand by Jang Hyun and gave a faint 'Mn'. "Xiao Yun received a picture from Choi Kang So. That Choi Yeon Jun remembered everything and is here."

Jang Hyun who had heard the story of Xiao Yun's return to the past has sorted out his thoughts and believed in his master's fiancée. "Is he an ally to the young lady?"

Wang Li Lei leaned his head on his arm and tapped his finger on the armrest beside him. "No. We can't be sure, if he could destroy his own older brother he is our ally but if he couldn't and decide to stay on our way he's an enemy." Letting Choi Yeon Jun walk away from his sins with his life intact was almost a tale to him, something that has a very slight chance of coming true. His brother from the intel he gathered to hold an affection to his older brother and even an ally could turn their back to anyone for the sake of their family and lover. Jang Hyun agreed to his master's words.

He had seen Choi Kang So before and knew how gentle the young man is. Even if he wanted to protect Xiao Yun the probability of him killing his own brother to receive such an outcome would go to the nearest zero.

"Master, Old Master Wang, and Old Madam Wang have arrived at your house. They want to invite young lady Lin to the mansion, should I reject their wish?"

Wang Li Lei's mood wasn't the best today, with a frustrated sigh slipping from his lips her frowned. "Tell them to never invite anyone without my permission."

"Yes, master." Jang Hyun noted. "I also received the news from the servants in the house. They seem to hear that the young lady Lin would be attending the party CEO Liu would be holding. I do think she's trying to use this moment to secure her position in the party and perhaps try to do something to young lady Yu."

Wang Li Lei leaned back to his seat. Threaten? Jang Hyun's worry was a little funny to him. Trying to threaten Xiao Yun would be impossible, especially by a woman who has been spoiled her whole life. With how strong and clever his fiancée is, the woman would be nothing than a pebble stone in front of her. And with him by her side, he would never let anyone to berate his amazing lover.

Perhaps in many other eyes, Xiao Yun looked nothing more than a weak lady but soon enough those people would taste their medicine and if the pebbles stones try to do something to her, he would be the first one to shatter them down to fine dust.

"That would be fine." Wang Li Lei ensured.

Jang Hyun glanced up to see his master's expression and placed the case aside. "Also, should I contact the designer to design the young lady's gown for the party?"

"It wouldn't be needed." Wang Li Lei gave a vague guessed on Xiao Yun's plan. Jang Hyun silently contemplated to his master's reply. It was impossible that Wang Li Lei would not want to make a dress for Xiao Yun... Does that mean he already has a plan? He shrugged his shoulder and didn't try to read deeper into it.

The silent night that sobered the passing storm for a faint moment drew back to its place. Xiao Yun slept on the hotel while Wang Li Lei has come back to the capital. As the climate had gotten near to the rainy season, the morning began with light rain. Xiao Yun grouped up to enter the bus that would bring them back to their houses.

Pushing the trunk down from the straight sloping staircase, Xiao Yun turned her face to see the building once again. The trip was only for three days, however, many things happened in the count of those short yet long days.

She had told everything to Wang Li Lei. Her dark past, her sadness, and the man received it gently. He placed his trust wholly for her and believed everything that she said without asking how unrealistic it was.

Perhaps if she had told someone else of what she had gone through, they would only brush her word off as a joke. But he didn't.

The grip upon her trunks tighten. Her guts were telling her that meeting the man who ruined her wouldn't take long but this time, they would meet in a different position. She would make sure of it.

"Xiao Yun, let's go it's our turn." Nie An called her from behind with a light tap on her shoulder, breaking her cold thoughts.

Xue Xiu Yong noticed the chilling expression on her face and took it in a different meaning to ask. "Did you forgot something in your room?"

"No." Xiao Yun shook her head and gave her usual smile. "Let's go."

Noon after Xiao Yun arrived back at home, she didn't have the time to take a rest and took her two bodyguards to Azure company. When the car stopped at the building, Tian Yi stepped out to open the car door and reveal the young miss in her chic working clothes.

"You look fresher than usual, Da-Jie!" Tian Yi commented.

Xiao Yun lifted her brow. "Really?"

"Hm... Perhaps rather than fresh. You look like you have found some peace." Hi Gu Yan replied to realize that he said something over the line and repeated. "Usually the little miss has this kind of dark shadows? Uh- that's not what I want to say. Um... I mean, you seem to have something holding you back but now you seem to be free from it." Hi Gu Yan did his best on explaining which made Xiao Yun laugh at his Jiterry behavior.

"I understand what you mean. Don't be too stiff Gu Yan, let's go." Xiao Yun ascended the stair and cupped her cheeks. All this time, she thought her angelic smiling face had fooled many people, but did the change after speaking to Wang Li Lei of her past really showed on her face?

Does that also mean all the time she thought she had overcome her past but was still untangled by the lurking darkness?

Xiao Yun slapped both of her cheeks lightly. 'I have to stay strong! Don't think too much of the darkness! Xiao Yun, you have Li Lei with you!'

She drew back her contained smile and walked to the office to see that it had a grave silence in it. There was almost no single trace of people working in it, making Xiao Yun to frown at the thought that perhaps they slacked off.

"What's this?" Tian Yi placed his hand over the table and swept the dust off to his finger. "How long they have been ignoring to clean this place?"

"But certainly there's some new traces of people working here." Hi Gu Yan looked over to the papers placed on top of the table.

Xiao Yun stepped deeper into the office to hear the sound of sewing machine rattling in one of the rooms. She turned the know to the room softly and saw Chuan Huan Jing working on a new gown with halls, pouring his focus in it. At some point, she noticed his eyes growing red due to the fact that he haven't been blinking and sleeping.

Pouring all his talent to create the gown, Xiao Yun decided to close the door. "We should wait for Zi Gong to arrive first." She spoke to her bodyguard and saw Hi Gu Yan have begun to clean the places while Tian Yi nodding his head to her words as he leaned his back on the wall.

"I think we should hire some assistant to work here. Huan Jing isn't the type of person who could interact and clean his own office." She commented with consideration.

"I would suggest that too." Hi Gu Yan agreed, as a person who loves nothing than cleanness, his hand had been itching to clean the messy room since he entered.

"But-" Xiao Yun opened the rest of the room to find the other designer but saw no single hair of the man. "-where is Zhu Yi Nian?"

The two bodyguards looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. "There seems to be no one here other than Mr. Chuan."

Xiao Yun smirked cynically. "If he dares to go absent today, I'll make his execution far worse."
