Country X, 15:30;

"Oh my God! It's President Xi's first post ever."

"It's their photo together. Lord, she looks so beautiful in the Mustard Yellow gown!"

"Marry me, Queen..."

"Look at her engagement ring, you guys. Isn't it, like the fifth most expensive diamond in the world?"

"Yeah. There was an article about it back when President Xi had proposed to her. It's the highly-famed de-Beers Centenary Diamond. Its original owner is unknown, apparently. But to embed its specks into such an intricate crown-shaped ring must've required a lot of contacts."

"Big Boss never ceases to amaze me!"

"Isn't that Edinburgh Castle she is looking at?", another one commented, "Jeez! They are in Scotland right now. How romantic!"

"I agree. And oh, she looks like a Princess in this picture, doesn't she?"

"My heart feels full and empty at the same time! It's too much love."

"Let's not forget the highlight of the photo, shall we? The cute 'Xinguan' calligraphed onto his wrist! Did she do it?"

"OMG! It's calling me single in a thousand languages. Why are they so perfect together?"

"Tell me about it. This one photo is sweetness overloaded at its best!"

"And she used his account to post! That, in itself, is like staking a claim over him. Classic Xinghe."

"She has always known how to make her point. Old habits die hard, indeed."

"Go #Xinguan!"

"Make a movie on them, someone, please."

Those were but just a part of the tens of thousands of comments swarming up almost all of the Weibo, and Instagram. People were going crazy over the picture round the globe, so much so that almost every news channel had to add it to their regular bulletin. Cartoon artists and painters were recreating the photo in their own unique versions, while young storytellers and writers were penning down fanfictions around it. Regardless of how low-profile a life Xi Yuan and Rong Xinghe maintained, they were the kind of people the world wished to know about. Understandably so, though.

But as the Superfamily and the Xis looked at the netizens go nuts over an unpretentious and unfiltered post, they were at a loss of words. Why the hell did they even work on the couple's image protection, if the easiest way out was a social media post, they pondered. As long as it had the two of them involved, their admirers would be satisfied with anything. A gossip. A photo. A sentence, even. No wonder the rumors spread at such a ferocious pace...

"Brother could've done this two days ago and the whole incident would've gone down the drain at once.", Xi Wei tapped his chin, exhausted. Xi Fang and Jiang Yue sat opposite the man, smiling gently at him.

"What are you doing in my office again, Wei?", the man questioned his younger brother a moment later.

"I am going to Scotland. I miss them.", the man announced out of nowhere, "Please arrange the private jet for me. Also, you guys are invited."

"We are?", Jiang Yue looked at the two men, thrilled.

But instead of saying anything, Xi Fang simply stood up and grabbed Xi Wei's left ear, twisting it hard, "Firstly, you do not miss them. You miss the food she would cook for you. Secondly, there's a snowstorm approaching Earlston right now. It's too dangerous to go there. And lastly, you've just returned from your vacation to Hawaii. What are you, Columbus?! Stay here, and help me with Xi Corps. Or I swear to God, Wei, I will kill you."

"Oww! Urgh--", Xi Wei cried out in pain, "Second Sister-in-law! Help me, please. This man has lost it. Darn it! It hurts..."

"Fang!", Jiang Yue glared at the man, infuriated, "Let him go. Now." And as the man complied with the lady's commands, she walked over to her to-be Brother-in-law and massaged his 'afflicted' ear carefully, "Never do that to him again, you. I mean it.", she said through gritted teeth, "It's all red now."

"Only my Sisters-in-law love me.", Xi Wei smiled a wry smile, hugging the woman lightly, "Thank you so much, Xiao Yue."

"If you wanted homemade food so much, Wei, you could've just asked me.", Jiang Yue laughed, "I could cook for you?"

"Oh, you would? I didn't want to trouble you.", the man raised his brows.

"Don't be so formal.", the girl shook her head, "You know what? Let's go to the Xi Corporations' canteen. We'll slip in the back and I'll make something for you there!"

"I am in!", the man clasped his hands and made his way to Xi Fang's office exit, "I'll call Rong Xiao too. She must be done with her surgeries by now."

As the man disappeared from Jiang Yue's line of sight, she turned to Xi Fang, confused. What just happened? Rong Xiao? But it was now that she realized that the man was already staring at her with sympathy in his eyes.

"What?"

"Welcome to the family, Honey.", he laughed, "By the way, I must tell you. That brother of mine has an appetite of five cows, and he just tricked you into cooking for him. He wasn't going to go to Scotland anyway.

"That dork is too afraid of President Xi's death glares every time he asks Xiao Xinghe to prepare him a meal, so he prefers witnesses. That's me and Ying, mostly. Why do you think he invited us over there? It wasn't courtesy. It was all for the safety concerns.

"One more thing, Xiao Xiao is a competent Cardiac Surgeon and his girlfriend. She's probably the smartest woman he has ever dated. But he seems serious about her, so don't pass comments on their age difference, alright? You will love her. I assure you of that. Both the Rong sisters are amazing at making conversations. All the very best! May you survive this battle of life."

"..."

"I have a company to run, Ma'am.", the man smiled, "You were the one to fall into the trap willingly, so I can't help you now. And don't even bother asking me to join you in the canteen. I wasn't joking when I said that I would kill him. Unless you want to take our wedding vows while I am in prison, keep me out of this."
