Resignation at Royal W
Wang Ling followed his lead and left the casino.
"Is that Fang Jie's girlfriend?! Omg she's so beautiful!!"
"Whose that lady that Fang Jie is walking with?!"
The women at the casino were buzzing as they watch Fang Jie held Wang Ling's by her waist leaving the Casino.
Wang Ling was still caught in the unbelievable change of luck at the very last card.
---
Wang Ling: How did you know the 5th card was an ace? Did you cheated?
Fang Jie: Of course not! do i look like a cheater?
Wang Ling: Then how?! The chances of getting an ace card is as good as 0%!
Fang Jie: If you noticed earlier, Mr Dorman was wearing a lot of flashy accessories on him, his metallic bracelet and luxury watch are objects that are reflective.
Wang Ling: And you saw the reflection of his cards!
Fang Jie: That's right. I could see the numbers very vaguely. I saw a six, which means i already seen through his cards from the very beginning
Wang Ling: But...how did you know the last card was an Ace?
Fang Jie: Remember he held a cigar on his hand earlier? He had ace of spades card in the first game with you, the cigar imprinted a very faint stain on the back of the card. So i knew the next card was an ace, and bought the 5th card.

Fang Jie was indeed observant like how a professional player should be.
Wang Ling was amazed...
and...slightly smitten by this man.

That night at Aescott..
Ruo Qin made dinner for her mother, while Wang Yan gave them a private time together to catch up the time they've lost.
Wang Yan went to the Regen Hospital personally to check everything is in order for Madam Qian's admission tomorrow.
As Madam Qian had very limited movement abilities, he ensured everything in the suite room is catered for her without much hassle.
It was almost midnight when Wang Yan return back to Aescott.
There was no one in sight at the living hall.
Wang Yan went back to the bedroom and found Ruo Qin asleep on his bed. He smiled warmly, a sight he wants to see everyday, his beloved woman sleeping in his bed every night.
After a quick shower, Wang Yan climbed into the bed to sleep when Ruo Qin was awaken by his movement.
"Thank you...Yan..for everything.."
Ruo Qin placed her arms around Wang Yan from the back and leaned against his warm, broad chest.
"Did i woke you up?"
Wang Yan turned to face her and kisses her forehead gently.
"Why are you so good to me...you're spoiling me..." Ruo Qin mumbled with her eyes closed.
"Because you're my everything i've got..."
Wang Yan responded in his soft voice, as he stroke Ruo Qin's face..her soft features..
"Mhm...i'm really happy today.." Ruo Qin mumbled, half asleep and snuggled into Wang Yan's embrace.
"Sleep..." he muttered..
and they both fell asleep soundly in each other's arms till the next morning.

Next morning, Aescott
Wang Yan drove Ruo Qin and her mother to The Regen Hospital.
--
Ruo Qin: Mother...don't worry..Yan have made the best arrangement for your treatment.
Madam Qian: thank you Qin'er...and Mr Wang..
Wang Yan: Please don't mention it, Madam Qian.
Ruo Qin: Mother please stay strong alright? I will come back after your treatment ends.

While waiting...
Ruo Qin and Wang Yan grabbed a quick lunch together near the hospital.
--
Ruo Qin: Yan...about my job..i'm tendering my resignation to Manager Zhang later..
Wang Yan: ...
Ruo Qin: Yan..?
Wang Yan: What are your plans after you resigned?
Ruo Qin: Well..i will find a new job of course..maybe arts..
Wang Yan: Arts? Like painting and such?
Ruo Qin: Yeap..i love arts..and i want to pursue my dream.
--
Wang Yan nodded in agreement, he knew he have to support her in everything.
Moments later..
Wang Yan took out his cellphone and rang his assistant, Renxi.
"I need to get Ruo Qin a new job...maybe arts related. like at a gallery or something. look into it for me" Wang Yan seek for help.
"Yes sir, however in the arts industry, they rely on a solid portfolio and references a lot..I am not sure if Ms Ruo Qin have a portfolio ready?" Renxi asked
A portfolio...and reference?
Wang Yan recalled the paintings that he bought when Ruo Qin put it up on sale..
That's right!
He could use those as her portfolio.
"I have some of her arcrylic paintings at Aescott. Will that be sufficient? As for reference...bring those paintings to Kris, let him take a look at it." Wang Yan replied.
"Of course Sir. I will have the paintings sent to Mr Ler today. I will shortlist some of the arts companies and update you, Sir." Renxi responded.

While at Royal W Penthouse..
Wang Yan arrived back, as the doors opened..everyone was gathered around the table, curious, he stepped in to see what was going on.
His sister, Wang Ling was learning to play card games from the guys. Wang Yan was surprised.
--
Wang Yan: What is going on here?
Wang Ling: Yan! You're here! They're teaching me how to ace at games.
Wang Yan: Are you guys kidding me? Teaching my sister to gamble?!
Daniel: Woahhhh Yan! You totally missed a show!
Kris Ler: You had no idea! Fang Jie was like a super mario saving his princess peach!
Luo wei: Ler, how old are you? like 12 or something?
Kris Ler: Shut up you old boring man
Fang Jie: Oi you guys. cut it out..Yan, your sister is just interested at how to play these games.
Wang Ling: You wouldn't want to see your own sister get defeated and disgrace herself at the Casino right?
Wang Yan: What happened at the Casino?
Daniel: OH LET ME FILL YOU IN THE DETAILS!
Luo Wei: oh god...
--
Daniel was all hyped out to share the situation with Wang Yan, but Fang Jie was stressed out.
After Wang Yan was brief of what happened at the Casino, his brows arched up looking at Fang Jie..
What could Wang Yan be thinking of Fang Jie?
While Luo wei and Fang Jie focus on teaching Wang Ling the game rules.
"So Luo wei, what's your best game?" Wang Ling asked out of curiousity.
"I can memorize where all the 52 cards are placed." Luo wei answered with a straight face.
"Nahhhh don't try to impress me Luo wei! that's impossible!" Wang Ling cracked up, laughing at Luo wei's statement.
Fang Jie smiled at her innocence.
'This woman surely have understimated us..' Fang Jie thought to himself.
"Go ahead and test him, Wang Ling"
Fang Jie initiated Wang Ling to pick a card after Luo wei shuffled the cards on his hands.
Wang Ling started picking out 5 cards in an random order.
"Name the cards i've just picked" Wang Ling was all confident, there was no way she could believe Luo wei could memorized where all the 52 cards were placed.
"3 clubs, 8 diamonds, jack spade, 2 spade and 10 heart" Luo wei answered calmly.
"WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F**K!?!!" Wang Ling exclaimed in disbelief!
Fang Jie couldn't help himself but giggled at her expression.
Just then..
Renxi arrived at Royal W Penthouse with Ruo Qin's paintings that he retrieved from Aescott...
