Drawing the line
Ming YaoFeng never allowed the laptop to be out of power. He watched everyday as the milk refill itself until one day, he came back from a conference and his laptop was back to normal.
He just put it as if she had given up. Still, he cannot help himself wonder if she will bring the children to their house.

It was three in the afternoon when Assistant Xu knocked, "Boss, your wife is on the phone, again.." he reported hesitantly.
Ming YaoFeng angrily grabbed the phone. He was still mad with all of her tricks and he just cannot tolerate it anymore.
"Hello-" Yuyu was not able to greet as she received his cold warnings.
"Stop pestering me. Do not use the children to get what you want. I will not deprive them of their rights so just please. Stop. Disturbing. Me." He hung up.
Yuyu almost cried as she heard those cold words from him. She suppressed the tears on her eyes. She cannot blame him for feeling tricked but still, it hurts. She took a deep breath and called Night instead.
"Brother, we are on a stop over at the moment, our flight will resume in thirty. Can you send someone to get us from the airport?" Yuyu asked.
"What time will you arrive?" he asked.
"Probably five in the afternoon." She said.
"Okay, I will send the company car to get your luggages and I will bring all of you to a meal."
"Thank you brother! See you!" Yuyu was delighted and went back to her family to deliver the news.

It was past five when Night saw a familiar group of people pushing a twin stroller.
Two assistants come forward to help them with their luggage.
Yuyu hugged Night. "It was so warm here!" she said letting go of him.
He caressed the heads of the twin and Sandy came forward to embrace him.
"Brother, this is William." She gestured to the man beside him.
William extended his hand, which Night shook with a smile. "You can call him Night or brother in law," Yuyu teased.
Sandy blushed and Nana Luo came from behind them giving her luggage to the two assistants who wore the White Global badge. She was so delighted to see her handsome master.
"Master!" she greeted me. Night, embraced nana Luo without further ado and nana Luo almost cried.
"Master, this is Tania. She works for the twins." She introduced.
"Hello Sir." Tania was shy. Night gave her a nod and ushered everyone to move.
"I'll bring you all to dinner." He said leading the way out.
He brought an SUV that will fit all of them including the two children.
Sandy and William held the two children as they went to the restaurant.
"The truth is, I have a gathering to attend but I booked a private room for us at the same place." Night said as he took the evening rush hour.
"You're just making excuses not to stay too long with them." Yuyu teased him.
Since they were young, they never enjoyed those business functions. Only those who need connections make an effort and the White siblings do not need it.

Ming Corporation.
"Boss, Irvine's secretary called. They are asking if you are joining tonight's gathering." Assistant Xu asked.
"I'm not interested." the cold CEO replied.
"The White Global was also invited by Irvine." Assistant Xu only heard a 'hm'.
---
The private room Night prepared for them was just right. The children were fast asleep on their convertible stroller and the family was able to enjoy their meal.
"Let's eat slowly and relax. Let the good food sit in!" Sandy exclaimed as she showcased each dish to her foreign boyfriend.
"Yuyu, I'll be in the next room 709. You can also come over, some elders are coming and they haven't seen you for a long time." Night told her.
"Nah! No way. I know you will escape and I will be trapped there later. Plus, I'm not as formal as you." Night only noticed that his sister was wearing casual black dress pants and a pair of flats.
"I only looked at your face and forgot to see your clothes." He said honestly.
Yuyu and Sandy laughed. "Typical business man." Both of them said at the same time.
It was a warm dinner. Tania was able to go back to her cheerful self and share some jokes from her classmates in her online class and nana Luo is one of her fans.
Yuyu's phone rang. She looked at it. Hacker 28.
"Night, I'll go out with you, I have a call." She rushed to follow his brother who's already at the door.
She gestured that she would take the call outside in the garden where there's less people.

"I have a client who wanted the same item." The other person on the phone said.
"What happened to you? Are we poor? Aren't we selling only when we need money?" she replied.
"Well, you are right. I'm just bored."
Yuyu stopped walking at the corner to lecture the person.
"Don't be too greedy. Look at me, I am very busy with my own family. Just play games or spend time with your girlfriend." Yuyu nagged.
"We broke up."
"Then why are you talking to me? Chase after her. Look at me, I'm chasing after my husband!" she proudly told him.
"How?" Yuyu thought that this hacker is still young, so she got carried away and turned to the corner while talking.
"Aren't you a hacker? If we want to follow someone what do we do? Alright, I'll hung up now, I need to find my husband no matt-"
She bumped into a man and she was not able to hear the other person.
Yuyu was shocked to see the person she wanted to chase. 'How much did he hear?'
Ming YaoFeng looked coldly at her. "Ms. White, I hope that you still remember what I told you over the phone earlier." She pressed her lips together in shame.
"Anyway, I just hope that we never cross paths again. If you don't avoid me in the future, I will think that you ARE following me." He said it with a special meaning.
Yuyu automatically held his arms, "YaoFeng, I only sent that because you are not answering the phone, I -"
"We cut ties already Ms. White. Keep your distance." Ming YaoFeng shook off her hand slightly forceful and she stepped backward twice causing her to step on someone losing her balance.

Li Haoran attended the event hoping that he can get closer to the CEO of White Global. He just arrived from parking his car when a woman stumbled across him and he automatically extended his arm to catch her waist.
The face he's been dreaming of is now in front of him. Her slightly opened mouth and innocent eyes gave a special charm and a friendly smile appeared on his face.
Ming YaoFeng almost lost his cool when his wife fell on someone's arms because of him. He turned in anger and headed straight to the stairs.
Yuyu immediately stood up and apologized.
"I'm sorry, I did not see you there," she said, checking if she dirtied the outfit of the man.
"It's alright. Are you attending an event here?" Li Haoran asked.
"No," she smiled. "I'm with my family. I just came out to answer a call. Sorry again about earlier." she said.
"It's alright, they might be looking for you, I'll send you over." Li Haoran led the way and Yuyu already knew what's on Li Haoran's mind. He wanted her to introduce him to her family! So scheming!
She immediately dialed Night's number and luckily he picked up. She walked slower so she could whisper, 'Come out of 709 hurry!'. She dropped the call and immediately sent a message.
Before they reached her room, Night was already walking towards them and she made a signal.
Night got it and wrapped his hand around her shoulder. "Finished?" he asked.
"Yup." She said leaning on him.
"CEO White, I did not know that you are related with Ms. Ming." Li Haoran cannot help but commented. Although someone mentioned it before, he still wanted to hear how they are connected.
"She's my sister. Actually, don't call her Ms. Ming. She's Mrs. Ming YaoFeng." He said proudly.
None of them saw the shadow behind the corner listening to them.
Li Haoran was surprised.
"Your husband is the CEO?" he cannot believe it and forgot to compose himself.
She laughed. "Yeah. I was gone for a while because we have twins."
Night took over the conversation. "President Li, you know my sister? Good. Okay, we'll leave you fat sister, we have an event to attend, I'll see you later." He led Li Haoran to room 709 and closed the door. Yuyu sighed and opened the door to their room.

Ming YaoFeng can't understand.
Why are they acting as if he is still part of their family. Even to outsiders, or the way she talks to Assistant Xu, Yuyu still addresses him as her husband. Just now, Night even declared that his sister belonged to the rightful husband which is him?
He looked at the woman going inside the private room and his face darkened. The English man was holding one of the children coming to her. As the door was not fully ajar, his imagination ran wild and headed to the venue with a foul mood.
