Feng Xinying looked at him with eyes wide like a soccer field.

"Do you remember that I used to call you Yini?" he said with a sloppy smile as he rested his face in her lap.

When Xie Yuansheng received the message from Feng Xinying that she was going to see Keira, he thought that he would follow her. So he went there only to be filled by details from Xie Shengjun.

Xie Yuansheng became nervous again. All his life he had been keeping that one dirty secret of his father from Feng Xinying but the way things were going, that secret was raising its head. Feng Xinying was adamant on uncovering it. He had buried it under layers and layers of mystery. Without Xie Shengjun offering him whiskey, Xie Yuansheng just went and opened a bottle from his bar.

While taking large swigs from the bottle, he remembered what he had done. He had to get to the person who was trying to uncover it and he had to get to him fast. Who was giving her all this information? There surely must be a leak inside the organization…

He didn't even realize how much he had drunk. He asked his brother to investigate people around them in the organization.

While he would go after every person who would point at him, she was going to chase every person who would lead to her mother's assassins.

When Feng Xinying heard him mumbling "Yini," out of his semi-consciousness, she was shocked. The name Yini tickled her memories. Where had she heard it? Xie Yuansheng had spoken that name once when he was very ill. She thought that Yini was her lover or an ex-girlfriend. So when he said today that he used to call her Yini, she was shocked that Yini was none other than her.

She kept her hand on his handsome face and traced his lips. For how long had he loved her? He said that he loved her ever since he had seen her, which was high school. Did he give her that nickname that time?

She bent down and kissed him on his lips. He smelled of alcohol. When she bent down to kiss him, she did that softly, but he held her tightly in his grip. He looked into her eyes and said, "Yini, if you will ever think of leaving me, kill me first. There is no one other than you left in my life." And to Feng Xinying yet another surprise, tears started running out of Xie Yuansheng's eyes.

She rested her forehead on his and said, "Don't talk about dying because I will follow you there."

He chuckled and then dozed off. Feng Xinying wiped the tears that came out of his eyes. She looked out of the window and eagerly waited for the movie to finish. She wanted to settle down with her husband and have kids as soon as possible.

Second schedule of the movie started and Feng Xinying had to now go for an innumerable amount of dance practices. The choreographer that was assigned for the actors was a hard taskmaster. He would never leave the team until they had perfected the steps. They had to perform a traditional dance sequence in which Feng Xinying had to take the help of many ropes that would hang in the air as she had to perform steps in air, suspended fifteen feet above the ground.

Even though after editing the dance sequence would have been just no more than ten minutes, the choreographer was making them sweat from a month. As for Feng Xinying, she had to keep changing the ropes that tied her mid-air. It wasn't an easy job. She had to first hook herself to the next rope that was thrown to her and then release the previous rope. In this way she had to change five ropes. With each suspended rope she had to perform for two minutes. The movement had to swift and elegant at the same time. Obvious this required a lot of practice.

This entire practice was taking place in the dance hall of the choreographer. Often a maid who used to sweep floors would always come and watch the dancers, mesmerized at all of them. Once the dance would get over, she would smile and leave.

When the entire dance sequence was practiced very nicely, the choreographer wanted this to be done in costumes and with entire setting. The setting was that the king was watching the dance his lost love who was masked and he didn't know who was that. He was looking at her intently while she performed those steps in air. She mesmerized him. His concubine was supposed to intervene in between and cut the rope with which his lover was hanging but the king stopped her with a warning in his eyes.

That day, everybody came early on the sets and wore costumes. Feng Xinying's costume included a large silk red under-dress that was covered with a large flowing white robe.

Technicians had been called long time back to fix the ropes properly. When the dance sequence was about to start, Feng Xinying was stunned to see who was sitting in the audience.
