2:00 p.m., Zhou Family Mansion ; Zhou Che sat in the living room staring at his phone screen in a daze. 'Meet me tonight. 10:00 p.m. Starbucks. Elite Pacific Mall.', the message read. The man smiled wryly, lifting his head up to look at the journalist reporting Xi Yuan's confession, the night ago. She accepted it, without any contemplation, without a second thought. This was the first time he had seen her so happy, so radiant, and so carefree. And this was how it was supposed to be. She deserved all of…

By the next morning, the entire Country X was in an uproar. From small towns to metropolitan cities, every corner of the nation wanted to know every little thing about Xinguan. Their first meet. Their confessions. They wanted to know everything. Actively, shippers. The ones who'd wished them to get together. They couldn't believe, that what they thought to be a mere dream or imagination, would actually turn into reality, someday. '#Xinguan', once again, reached the top of the trending list on every social…

"Oh, God!", Rong Xinghe gasped, covering her wide-open mouth. Amid all the conspiracy theories she'd been solving and decoding these past few days, she hadn't seen this one coming. "Are you sure?", she asked. "I've never been this sure about something, Xinghe. I want this.", the man smiled, picking up the glass from the tray the waiter had brought. The Virgin Mojito. The drink that wasn't just a drink to them. It was a memory. A beautiful and unforgettable memory. "I know you can not promise me a…

8:00 p.m., The Imperial Palace ; "What's going on?", Huang Ling pinched the space between his brows, "The electromagnetic bomb at the Stark Square today. Why does it look like it was some kind of a 'teaser'?" The three Hybrids were in the Palace backyard. Alone. While a lethal plan was being fabricated, miles away from their homeland, by some terrorist organization, none of them had the heart to enjoy a royal wedding dinner. Rong Xinghe had asked for some privacy. With Ashfakh Ali and Huang Ling. And of…

"He confessed to you first!?", Huang Biu pointed her index finger towards Xi Yuan, shocked. "It's impossible." The more Rong Xinghe told her about her and Xi Yuan's relationship, the more Huang Biu was finding it difficult to digest. Xi Yuan was never a 'love-at-fist-sight' kind of person. In fact, almost everyone around him had once presumed that he would never marry. For someone as reserved and distant as Xi Yuan to pursue a woman with so much patience and obstinance was like a dream. A surreal dream. It…

"I'll be right there.", the girl sighed, making her way to Mo Zixuan, upon the stage. She wasn't even shocked anymore. This was her life, after all. A pinch of drama in everything around her was literally, a necessity. "You have the bomb squad equipments, right?" "Yeah. I have everything else.", Ashfakh Ali answered, glancing at the black bag in the backseat. through the rearview mirror. Rong Xinghe reached the stage and disconnected the call as she whispered into her brother's ear, "I will have to…

Next Morning, 8:00 a.m., The Imperial Palace ; "Yuan has some meeting to attend, apparently. He left early this morning. Promised that he will arrive before the wedding ceremony begins.", Rong Xinghe said, pouring down whiskey for herself as she looked at her brothers trying out different suits. "Navy Blue or Hickory Brown. Select one for me.", Zhi Al turned to look at the girl, holding onto two suit-sets in both his hands. "Umm... The Azure Blue one, brother.", the girl pointed her chin towards the…

"I didn't mean it like that, Brother.", Huang Biu protested, taken aback by her brother's stern tone. Huang Ling was the eldest son of the Huang family. People looked up to him. As calm as the summer sea, and as reserved as a monk. Naturally, the woman wasn't expecting her brother to react so strongly to her, "But you know that I like Yuan." "I do. I know that you like him, Biu.", Huang Ling inhaled sharply, "But if he is already in love with some other woman, steer clear of him. As the eldest daughter of…

Next Morning, 9:00 a.m., MCO ; "Our daughter was kidnapped when she was returning back from her Judo classes. A week ago. We reported to the police too.", the man in his late-thirties informed, his eyes swollen, "I just don't understand how an eleven-year-old could've offended those monsters." "You have my sympathies, Sir.", Rong Xinghe consoled, "Rest assured, your daughter will get justice." "And what will that do, Ma'am?", the child's mother interrupted, tears coursing down her cheeks, "Will that…

Xi Yuan froze as he looked at the small box in the girl's hand, and then back at the girl. The man noticed the girl's nonchalant expression and let out a sigh, "There isn't a ring inside it, right?" "Sorry. I was confused about your size.", the girl smiled helplessly, "I just found it in Little Alix toys earlier, so I picked it up. "I just wanted to see your reaction to the 'Will you marry me?' question." "You are hopeless, you know?", the man flicked the girl's forehead, eliciting a grunt from her,…
