At the branch headquarters of Eminence.

Jun Zixuan sat on the swivel chair as he turned around and glanced at the view of Amaranthine morning sky through the glass walls of the highest floor.

​​

The most unpredictable thing about this country is its weather. It has a reputation of experiencing up to three seasons in a day. In the morning, you might up with the glaring sun above your head and by the afternoon, it will shift into heavy rainfall and towards the night, it would not be strange to find it snowing.

The weather of Amaranthine was very similar to his girlfriend. Unpredictable!

The corner of his lips tugged up at the thought of her.

"Hey bro, did you miss me?"

And within an instant, the smile disappeared as he turned around to look at the man who stepped inside his office.

"What are you doing here?" Jun Zixuan frowned as he glanced at him doubtfully.

Mu Shen pressed a palm on his chest, "Don't give me that look. I have abandoned my flings to come here to burn the Jun Manor."

"Burn the Jun Manor?" The corner of his lips twitched.

"Your wife said that, bro. Don't give me that look even though I have to admit that I'm with her in this," The guts of that wretched family to bully his friend when he was a kid. Mu Shen was not able to find a proper way to bully them back but now under the guidance of Great Grandmaster Yu Mei, he was confident about avenging his friend.

Jun Zixuan massaged his throbbing temples as he glanced at the man who was excitedly rubbing his palms together, "Why are you guys so childish?" Even he was not holding grudges over the past but these two look quite serious about burning the mansion down.

Mu Shen rolled his eyes, "Why are you so mature? Act your age. You are just 23. About to turn 24 in a few days. That reminds me. Happy Birthday in advance. I am wishing you by now just in case I forget your birthday or I am having some fun with any of my flings.''

Jun Zixuan was speechless. Where was his topic swerving so fast? "Anyways, what did she tell you?"

"Well, I called your wife for some juicy gossips about your family the day before tomorrow," Mu Shen thought about their conversation that day, "She told me that I can come over and we will burn them together. I was contemplating over it already but later I got to know I have to shoot one of my scenes here so I tagged along with Luoluo."

"She is also here?"

"Yes," Mu Shen paused for a moment before looking at Jun Zixuan, "Now that we all are here, don't you think we should meet your first love?"

Jun Zixuan's expressions shifted slightly.

"You…" Mu Shen's eyes widened, "You still haven't gotten over her, have you?" He could see that pretty apparent on his face, "You are clearly in love with Yu Mei but that expression of yours tells me that you have yet to move on from your first love…? What the fuck is going on? Are you two-timing on your feelings? How can-"

"Shut up," Jun Zixuan interrupted him, his eyes turned cold.

"I am your friend, for fuck's sake. Tell me what is on your mind at least," Mu Shen slammed his palm on the glass desk. After all this time when there was so much progress between the couple, he never thought that his friend was still stuck on Han Mei, "Don't tell me you treat your wife-"

"She is not a replacement to anyone," Jun Zixuan interrupted the man yet again before he could mess around more. He sighed, "It's not about not moving on or two-timing."

Looking at his conflicted expressions, Mu Shen shook his head, "Don't force yourself. But sort it out before it is late," Although he was not very sure about his friend's feelings but he knew how it was for the image of Han Mei and Yu Mei to clash given their identical looks. He stood up from the chair, "I've my shoot within few hours. I'm leaving now. Let's meet later."

Jun Zixuan nodded.

As soon as Mu Shen left the office, Jun Zixuan loosened his collar and leaned back on the swivel chair. He turned his swivel chair around and raked his fingers through his ash blonde hair, his gaze taking in the sight of raindrops smashing against glass panes.

He just could not forget Han Mei. Not that he did not try but everything about Yu Mei reminded him of her. From the way she talked to the way she smiled, she was a spitting image of Han Mei or vice versa. Both of them can be equally childish yet mature at times.

The only difference between them was that Han Mei was detached from everyone, she was aloof. She would not talk to anyone unless she was talked to. As for Yu Mei, she was like the morning sunshine, showering everyone with either curses or love.

Here it goes again. Jun Zixuan pursed his lips. He once again compared both of them in his mind and the guilt on it was apparent on his face. His conflicting feelings were another reason for which he never took his relationship with her to another level.

Letting out a soft sigh, Jun Zixuan blankly stared at the phone in his hand.

On the road opposite to the branch headquarters of Eminence.

Inside a luxurious Rolls-Royce, Yu Mei sat on the driver's seat with one of her legs folded onto the other as she glanced at the iPad.

"President, the design…will take another week to be reviewed," came a nervous voice followed by another.

It was followed by another voice, "The design of the ring is a bit complicated to comprehend that's why it taking them some time."

"My first design was more intricate than that," Yu Mei raised an eyebrow, "It was submitted before time but right now, you all are finding your jobs too hard to handle."
