The Aescott + Visiting Mei Zhen
Today is the day Ruo Qin can finally discharge from the hospital, although she is still recovering from injuries, Wang Yan have already arranged a therapist to aid her physical well-being at his home.
"Um...Yan, are we not going back to my place?" Ruo Qin asked out of curiosity after she noticed Renxi was driving towards the wrong direction.
"When you're at the hospital i've got Renxi to cancel your rental lease to the landlord." Wang Yan pulled Ruo Qin closer to him.
"What!! I've paid my deposit for a year!" startled at Wang Yan's action.
"Don't you want to spend the time together for the time we've lost?" Wang Yan whispered into Ruo Qin's ears, and her cheeks turned rosy, blushing. Yes, she wanted to spend more time with him.
Ruo Qin couldn't help but to think that she have never got physically intimate with Wang Yan before.
After all, they were just teenagers before they got separated.
The thought of it made her heart pumped even faster.

3pm, The Aescott, Wang Yan's Penthouse
It's Ruo Qin's first time at Wang Yan's home. A 4-bedroom fully furnished and minimally decorated penthouse, floor-to-ceiling windows that make the most of a 280 degree panoramic view than spans across Shanghai's skyline.
It comprises a library, 2 full-fletch walk-in closets, an entertainment room with a billiard table, as well as a vast open-plan kitchen area with breakfast bar.
"This will be our home from now on.." Wang Yan wrapped his arms Ruo Qin from the back, pecking at the corner of her eyes.
"Are you sure about me living with you? Don't you need privacy for yourself?" Ruo Qin asked.
"There's no privacy between you and me." Wang Yan turned her around, gawking at her lips.
"Stop..looking at me like tha...." before Ruo Qin could finish her words, Wang Yan dived right in for a passionate kiss.
"Qin..there's no one else i'd rather have here with me other than you. You are mine, and only mine, got it?" Wang Yan looked into her eyes, and she nodded in response.
Ruo Qin explored the penthouse and realized there was no one else but two of them.
"Don't you have any housekeeper here in such a big place?" she questioned.
"No...i don't like having strangers at my personal space." he winked. What was that supposed to mean?
While Ruo Qin was asleep after taking her medications, Wang Yan was at the kitchen bar with his sleeves rolled up, the preparing dinner himself!
Having to live alone in Europe for years, Wang Yan have mastered the basics, he could do almost everything himself without the help of others.
"Qin..time for dinner." Wang Yan gently brushed the side of her hair, and helped her to to the hall.
"You...made all these?" her eyes widened after seeing the dinner spread on the table. Grilled king salmon with some pasta and baked potatoes, avocado mango salad and pumpkin soup with bacon bits!
"You're too skinny, eat." Wang Yan leaned forward and fed her with a spoonful of baked potato.

Wang Yan: Qin, tomorrow i will be visiting Mei zhen at the prison..
Ruo Qin: Mei..zhen?
Wang Yan: There's something i need to speak to her regarding her father's business.
Ruo Qin: Will you be alright to speak to her alone? Can i come with you too?
Wang Yan: Yes, and no. i'm perfectly fine to speak to her. And no, because Dr Tang will be coming over tomorrow for your physiotherapy.
Ruo Qin: How are you still so bossy? You're not my boss's boss's boss now anyway.
Wang Yan: You really liked me as your boss's boss's boss?
Ruo Qin: Yan! that's exactly not what i meant!

Just like that, the two of them shared their laughter over dinner.
They were just like any other couple in love.
The next morning,
Wang Yan already left when Ruo Qin was awake. She picked up her cellphone and realized there's a message from him.

To Ruo Qin: I've called the breakfast service for you since i overslept, been years since i slept well, thanks to you. I'll be back after visiting mei zhen. -Yan
To Wang Yan: Glad you slept well. Btw, i can make my own breakfast, i'm not a kid anymore okay? -Qin
To Ruo Qin: Eat your breakfast. Dr Tang will be there at 1pm. -Yan
To Wang Yan: Mr Bossy, seems like dismissing your CEO position didn't work. You're still as bossy as ever. -Qin
Wang Yan smiled innocently to his phone after reading Ruo Qin's message.

2pm, Women's Prison
Mei zhen arrived at the visitors room, escorted by a female officer..She looked haggard, pale and weak.
Mei zhen: Why are you here..i've nothing to say to you.
Wang Yan: I'm here to talk about your father.
Mei zhen: Do i look like i'm in any position to meddle with my dad's business?
Wang Yan: You have that 15% shares of Gao Holdings on hand.
Mei zhen: Wang Yan..do you really want to push me to this far? do you have to be so ruthless?
Wang Yan: Ruthless? This is nothing compared to what i've suffered for 6 years. Anything that concerns Ruo Qin, i am merciless.
Mei zhen: Don't even think about me signing the transfership.
Wang Yan: I wouldn't. After all, this is your family business.
Wang Yan: Your family business is about to fall apart. If you want to see your dad's 10 years of hard work gone to waste because of your selfishness, you can continue to be selfish like how you were 6 years ago. You have my word, the Gao Holdings will not last more than 6 months from now. Choice is yours, Mei zhen.

Wang Yan stood up and left the visitors room without any returns.
"Sir? Mei zhen haven't agreed to the transfership yet.." Renxi looked worried as Wang Yan leave the prison abruptly.
"She'll sign it." Wang Yan sound confident.
"Why do you think so? From her attitude earlier, i have my doubts about it, Sir." Renxi questioned, worried that Wang Yan might not achieve it.
"She loves money and power more than anything. She've been eyeing on my status and money ever since she decided to run down Ruo Qin."
"She probably will discuss with her mother, as for her mother...if the Gao Holdings fall, she's as good as living as a beggar on the street. Her mother will convince her to transfer the shares to me." Wang Yan explained.
Renxi looked impressed by his boss. That is Wang Yan.
"Sir, should we head to Royal W? Mr Daniel and Mr Kris have arranged a gathering which would like you to attend."
"Take me home." Wang Yan's words were clear. Home is where he wants to go.
How could he leave his precious Ruo Qin alone at home?
