Chapter 2 - First Meeting

As the car was coming to a stop, he was looking at the gates. Lin Jingren was walking out holding a box.

Looking at Lin Jingren, called out "An Fei?"

"No." Lin Jingren turned and look behind him. Catching up, was a girl in light blue blouse with black pants holding a Teddy bear in hand and a handbag on the other. "She's there."

With a quick glance he sized her up. "Put the box in the back and get in. We are wasting time here."

"Yes Sir." He was so intimidating that she felt that there is no grounds of rejection.

"I'll put it in the back. You get in. Update me when you can."

"Thank you Jingren."

She get into the car, once the boot of the car is closed, the car speed off, leaving a trail of dust behind.

It was getting more and more awkward in the car for An Fei as she is not sure who is he and why was he the one that is driving her back and not the usual chauffeur, Uncle Sam. Somehow he looks rather familiar.

"Is he... ... Him? I can't be sure. It has been 3 years since I last saw him. He is not so intimidating and he is one of the most loving man that I know. I'm sure it is not him. No, it can't be him."

As the car sped through the streets, the silence kept up, he ignored her and focus on the road ahead. As for her, she keeps staring out the window avoiding talking to him.

The ride that was usually 30 minutes long, only took him 15 to get to their destination. Nearing the Shen Mansion, the guards immediately open the gates as they caught a glimpes of the speeding car from a distance knowing how impatient the driver of the car is. 

As the car pull to a stop at the main door, a footman came running over. The driver turn off the engine and got off, throwing his key over to the footman. At the same time, An Fei had already got off and was sprinting into the house. He followed closely behind. Cutting accross the long hallway up to the stairs towards the closed bedroom door that was looming with gloominess. 

Suddenly stopping, the anxiety that she felt overwhems her and making her pause, afraid of what she might see at the other side of the door. He knocked into her lightly as she stood in front of it. Tears threatening to fall as she was standing there.

A scene appeared at the back of his mind. There was this little girl, whose face he can't see. He know that she is looking away from him with sadness that caused his heart to ache. He had not felt this in a very long time since his accident 3 years ago.

Shaking it off, he glanced at her, he felt her fear. He wasn't sure why is he also afraid of what is on the other side of the door. Taking a deep breath, he reached around her waist for the door knob.

Feeling his arm around her waist, she drew comfort from it while holding her breath. Just when he was about to turn the knob, the door open from the inside.

Looking in, An Fei saw her Grandfather just lying motionless underneath his blankets. Her face paled and she stood rooted to the ground unable to move.
