  "She is hiding something." Lily said the moment Su Mingyu rushed out of the office with the two international lawyers. "Her reactions do not make any sense to me." As someone who can easily read people based on their reactions, Su Mingyu was acting totally opposite to what she was saying.

  The woman was too fragile. Too unstable. Her crazed eyes were just too different from the files that she had on her.

  "I have another meeting in Zhou Capital in less than an hour." Zhou Jingren responded. "We have to leave now or…… I will be late." Being a CEO was not an easy task. The meetings just never end. He smiled at the thought. This was the life that he chose to have. Why was he complaining right now?

  Lily.

  One word that is enough to explain everything that he felt inside. He wanted to spend more time with her, snuggling, talking and laughing. However, this was not something possible. At least not right now.

  "Of course," Lily responded, smiling as she walked out of the conference room with their secretaries in tow. "Qin Yuanfeng is also waiting for me at the FG Tower." She sighed. As their companies became bigger and bigger, Lily and Zhou Jingren’s schedule had become more and more chaotic. She could not help but wonder what would happen once she gave birth.

  "Being a woman is not easy." She smiled. "Mothers are superheroes, you know."

  "Of course they are." Zhou Jingren nodded as they entered the elevator. Women were the most resilient creatures on earth. They cry when they’re mad, they forgive, they love, they make choices, big and small ones that will not only benefit them but everyone around them. "Of course, you are." He added, his eyes gentle as ever he stared at her.

  "Stop it." Lily beamed. "We have kids around us." She eyed Secretary Go and Yang Mi who were standing in front of them inside the elevator. Lily pursed her lips as she thought of her other options after giving birth.

  She knew that she and Zhou Jingren could not continue having these schedules if they wanted to create a happy and functional family. A sigh left her lips. Of course, this did not go unnoticed by her husband.

  "Stop thinking about it." He whispered, as if aware of the things inside her mind. "We will find a way." He added……

  Facci Group

  "Mr. Qin, she is still insisting on speaking with you. Shall I— "

  "Let her in!" Qin Yuanfeng interrupted the attendant on the phone. He removed his eyes from his computer. "Let her go to the conference room." He added as he sent a text message to Lily, informing her that Su Ma was there to see him.

  Not long after, Qin Yuanfeng left Lily’s office to go to the conference room.

  "Yuanfeng!" Su Ma exclaimed the moment her eyes landed on him. "I am so glad that you decided to see me." She was about to give him a hug, when Qin Yuanfeng, held his hand in front of her face.

  "Stay." He said.

  "I—" Su Ma’s face reddened before she cleared her throat and sat opposite to the man that reminded her too much of Lily’s face. She immediately hid the irritation in her eyes. "I came here to try and convince you to see your father."

  "What father?" he asked.

  "Yuanfeng!" Su Ma’s eyes widened. "How could you say such a thing?"

  "What thing?"

  It was as if there was a lump in Su Ma’s throat. She immediately wondered if this man had some problems in his brain. Qin Chuan failed to mention anything about this at all! "I— I wanted to let you know that your father had been really sad lately. He— He is so different from the Qin Chuan that I met before."

  "Then…… make him happy."

  "You really don’t understand my words?" Su Ma asked, disbelief laced her tone as she wondered if Qin Yuanfeng was only pretending not to care or if he was really this oblivious. "Do you really hate your father so much?"

  "No."

  "Then? Then why don’t you want to see him? Maybe over dinner? I— I know Lily said some words against me. Maybe she thinks I am a gold digger for marrying your father. But I can assure you that— that I never had any bad intention towards him. I love Qin Chuan. I really do."

  "She didn’t." Qin Yuanfeng answered.

  "What do you mean?"

  "She didn’t say something against you."

  The seriousness in Qin Yuanfeng’s face immediately made her wonder if he was only acting. Or maybe the man was just that shallow. Su Ma decided to extend her patience as tears lingered in her eyes. "I’m sorry." She uttered. "I know…… I know…… I am the reason why you hate your father. I…… I don’t know…… maybe I should just leave him. I— " her shoulders tremble, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I love him too much, I can’t bear to see him this sad. This heartbroken."

  "Then leave him." Qin Yuanfeng shrugged. "Are you here to tell me that you want to leave him?"

  "I— " confusion instantly flashed in Su Ma’s eyes. "That is not my point." Why would Qin Yuanfeng say something like this? All she wanted was for him to pity her and put himself in her shoes, making him realize that her current situation is not really easy! Was this man really this dumb?

  Irritation flashed in her eyes.

  "Then what is your point?" he asked.

  "I was just asking— no I am begging you to see your father. Maybe it will make him a little more happy." All she wanted was to turn this man against Lily!

  "Oh!" He nodded, understanding flashing in his eyes. "Then…… No. I won’t see him."

  "But— Don’t you care about him? Yuanfeng…… he is your father. Someone who loved you since you were young. Don’t you really care about him?"

  "Care? Yes— I care."

  "But?"

  "But…… caring does not mean I want to see him."

  Su Ma’s mouth went agape, speechless at Qin Yuanfeng’s words. Was this really Qin Yuanfeng? Did she meet the wrong man? Is he playing a game with her?……
