Present

"Su Chen is coming back today, his flight would land by one. You've a meeting...."

"Cancel all the meetings and work for today. Don't disturb me till twelve. Arrange for a room at the usual place for tonight."

"Okay" Si Ban answered. "Oh! Yes, MaoHo has been impatiently trying to contact you"

"Mm-m, tell him to met me at the café near my office, day after tomorrow. Did you found out what happened at High Wink?"

"Yes, YangYang was teased by the son who owned High Wink. MaoHo was at the rescue on time, he is the reason behind the destruction of it."

"Keep an eye on, Xiniay. And also assign some more bodyguards around everyone. I bet that fool won't be able to handle the shock and try to harm someone."

"Okay."

"You can go now." ZouMi's eyes were closed throughout the conversation, she leaned on the chair staring at the ceiling. No emotions could be detected on her pale face.

That day, ZouMi spend her time finding the answer to his question, does she trust herself?

ZouMi took her phone out and texted him.

'In what context is your question?.' As if he knew she would text him, he was quick with his reply.

'In every aspect.'

She was certain, that question didn't revolve around the business, because it isn't easy for her prediction to turn wrong. Her mind work faster than normal, her talent was seen through by only one eye, that's her beloved father, Sid An.

When everyone doubted her, he never, when everyone said, she can't do, he never agreed. When she lost herself, he gave her a new life, offering her to work at his office.

All his excuses were cover up, to provide her a new environment, he even dragged Xau. Everyone thought he wanted his offspring's to be prepared, but only ZouMi knew the truth, he was just helping her to gather herself. Mr. An knew she has excellent skills when it comes to business. That was why she could stand firmly on her ground, even after those harsh comments from people out there.

Was his question cornered with the last night indecent? Or just a random one.

Time ticked, ZouMi's eyes followed the moment of the clock hands, but was really distracted. There was nothingness in her mind, like usual were at least a memory or her plan would surface when she is idle, it was not today. Today her mind was utter blank, just like a white paper.

Knock!

Knock!

"Zu, Su Chen's flight is about to land." ZouMi was in daze until she reached the airport and saw her two brothers waiting for Su Chen. To not let them see that she was a mess right now, she quickly counseled all her emotions and put on a smile, that is now used to fool her brothers.

------

Two eye-catching boys, dressed with a white t-shirt and black denim jackets. Accompanied by a beauty in formals, they were no less than models. Waiting at the departure gate, Xau, Bai and ZouMi had a lazy expression on their faces looking at the reaction of people's around them. Some girls were secretly taking pictures of Xau and Bai, while envying ZouMi for her beauty, who held many eyes of men's on her, as well as envious gaze of women's.

They waited for twenty minutes and started to get bored, just then a familiar figure came into their view, pushing a trolley. The boy waved at the direction towards them and started walking.

When he was near an arm distance to them, Xu and Bai pounced at him and started hitting him with punches, while ZouMi just stood there rooted on her place eyeing them.

"Hey, not on my face"

"Ouch!"

"Hey, enough!"

Cries echoed at the gate of the airport, after few minutes they stopped hitting. Panting, the group had an eye contact and burst in a delightful laughter. They group hugged.

The day was warm, so were the eyes of onlookers looking at the group of four hugging each other. Feeling the familiar warmth, that run down their bones, nearly for two decades now.

"You fat, chubby a**. Better if you brought all from the list we gave, if not, go back from right here." Lui Bai said, ready to kick him, if he say no. However, his nature is, rude, silent or serious, when it comes to his family and these three, he is just carefree.

"Such a pleasant way to welcome a brother, who came here after three long years." Su Chen hissed in pain, holding his face. This is a ritual for them now, formal greetings are too boring for them, they've crossed that stage of being formal to each other after going to thick and thin of life together.

"Be happy, that I didn't join. If not you would've been wheel out of here." ZouMi rolled her eyes at him.

"You should be the one getting the beating, not the other way around. Hmfph" Su Chen argued, they both glared at each other, not wanting to back out first.

"Where is the surprise you were taking?" Wanting to stop them to pick the fight like always, Xau said when he remembered, him talking about some present.

"Oh! Yes." Su Chen extended his hand side way. A white hand, with prefect manicure nails, clapped with his. When the face came to their view, Lui Bai was the one shocked to the core, while ZouMi took her phone out.

"RanRan?"

"Uncle?" Her voice soft as feather.

Su Chen chuckled, "So, RanRan, meet my brothers, Lui Bai, Sid Xau and Sid ZouMing. And you guys meet.." He placed him hand over her shoulder, "Meet my girl, Jing Ran." He smiled cheekily.

"Xiao Chen, you... That's why you told me to meet them face to face? You knew about this?" Jing Ran asked in a low voice. She skipped the greeting part. Earning a negative point from the three most important person's in Su Chen's life, who has yet to approve her.
