"Do you want me to cook for you , Kiddo ?", as they entered the Elite Diamond Penthouse , Lu Wei unbuttoned his suit and threw it on the couch , rushing towards the girl's kitchen.

"I don't mind pasta , bro Lu. But why do you seem so upset ?", the girl asked as she followed behind the man into the kitchen ,"You have been awfully silent throughout the entire drive to home. Just what has happened ? Is everything alright ?"

"Kiddo... just let it be.", Lu Wei smiled wryly at the girl.

"It is about Sis-in-law Ningtao , right ?", said Rong Xinghe ,"Is she alright there ? Or did you guys argued about something ? I know it is rare for you both to disagree on something , but still."

Lu Wei remained silent for sometime before he took a deep breath and looked straight into his sister's eyes ,"Is it right for her to hide her problems from me , even after spending all these years together ?"

Lu Wei then spent the next few minutes telling the girl about how Qui Chen's entry was affecting Ningtao adversely and how that actress had tampered with Ningtao's heels. Rong Xinghe was obviously worked up after she got to know about what had been happening with her lovely sister-in-law for the past few days.

"Entertainment industry is surely messed up , brother !", the girl clenched her teeth as she started roaming around in the kitchen angrily.

"Seriously ?! Is this actually coming from someone , who is dealing with the world of terrorism almost everyday ?", Lu Wei chuckled at the girl's reaction.

"Well... you are right.", the girl rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly ,"It isn't really that messed up. Anyway , should I send security for her ?"

"No need. I have sent my security team already.", the man shook his head.

"Brother...", the girl sighed and stood behind the man , as she started massaging his tensed shoulders ,"You need to understand that your wife is a strong woman , who has experienced all the ups and downs in this entertainment industry. She doesn't necessarily need her billionaire husband to protect her. Just let her deal with this matter the way she wants."

"I trust Tao and you more than anyone , Kiddo.", the man laughed ,"Its just that I can't let go of this feeling taking birth inside me."

"What is it ?", the girl furrowed her brows , confused.

"I feel that the sudden arrival of this Qui Chen is very well planned and that it has something to do with my business rivals or your enemies. I don't know if I am making any sense but I just can't push this feeling behind.", the man explained.

Rong Xinghe thought about the man's words silently , for few seconds before she finally nodded her head in agreement. This was definitely a possibility. Most of her enemies were no less than psychos : the terrorists and the militants. Similarly , Lu Wei's business rivals were pretty treacherous by nature too. Who knew if Qui Chen was planted by one of them. But then again , there were hell lot of foes , when it came to the Superfamily.

"I will look into it , bro Lu.", the girl said ,"Just give me one day to figure it out."

"Are you sure you have that much time ? I mean I can hire some investigators for the same. You don't need to exhaust yourself for that.", Lu Wei said , as he chopped the onions in front of him while Rong Xinghe grabbed a chair for herself.

"Don't worry. I will manage."

"Alright. And where is Yuan ?", Lu Wei decided to change the topic as he looked at the wall clock. It was already twelve. Just what was that lad upto ?

"Maybe still in the office...", the girl frowned as she opened her WeChat , expecting a message from the man. Sigh ! Not a single text.

"Why don't you just call him ?", Lu Wei asked.

"Umm... What if I disturb him ?", the girl asked , unsure.

"He is a man in love , Xinghe. I was in the same boat once. A call from the woman you love , after all those tiring meetings , is the best form of relief from every and any kind of stress. Trust me. He will love to hear your voice.", Lu Wei advised.

Xi Corporations ; 12:15 a.m.

"Boss , just get some rest. You haven't even had two hours of sleep since the last thirty six hours.", Xi Yuan's assistant , Bei Ming sighed as he looked at the man signing the documents in his office ,"Sir , you have received roughly forty calls from Second Master Fang , Third Master Wei and Lady Ying. Your family is worried for you. Could you , at least , talk to them ?"

Xi Yuan stopped his actions and glanced at the middle aged man in front of him before he continued to check through the stack of papers in front of him ,"Tell them to not worry about it and that I will be fine."

"Sir... Should I adjust the temperature of your private longue ? You can rest for an hour or two. It will be much better for your health.", suggested Bei Ming.

"Don't you understand the meaning of a 'no' ?", scowled Xi Yuan , agitated.

"Boss... I apologize.", the man finally gave up.

But at this time , Xi Yuan's phone rang up. As Bei Ming was holding onto the man's phone , he peeped at the screen and the phone almost slipped down his finger. It was... his lady boss !

The man walked around Xi Yuan's table , as he placed the phone in front of the man.

"What is it , Darling ?", asked Xi Yuan , as he brought the phone to his ears.

"How was your day , Sweetheart ?", a soft and serene voice came through the other end ,"When will you be coming home ? I really miss you."

As expected , the man's lips curled up into an amazed smile. Xi Yuan always wondered , as to how was this woman able to bring solace to him and make him forget all his pain and grief , without even being physically present in front of him. Of course , it was due to the strength in her love ! Next second , the man closed the documents he was signing and stood up from his seat.

"I will be reaching home in the next twenty five minutes , Honey."

"I love you !", the girl smiled.
