Country X, 15:30; "Oh my God! It's President Xi's first post ever." "It's their photo together. Lord, she looks so beautiful in the Mustard Yellow gown!" "Marry me, Queen..." "Look at her engagement ring, you guys. Isn't it, like the fifth most expensive diamond in the world?" "Yeah. There was an article about it back when President Xi had proposed to her. It's the highly-famed de-Beers Centenary Diamond. Its original owner is unknown, apparently. But to embed its specks into such an intricate…

Earlston, Scotland, 09:30; "They did what?!", Rong Xinghe stared at the man in front of her, shocked. "Well, they were just looking out for you.", Xi Yuan smiled as he sat down next to the girl on the couch, "Besides, everything will be under control, including those rumors about you and the pharmaceutical sector of the Xi Corps, by the end of the day. So we can relax." The girl simply blinked at the man as if she'd seen something indescribable. What the hell was wrong with him?! Wasn't he supposed to…

"So what was this? A social experiment?!", Xi Yuan questioned the men, his tone filled with disbelief, "Xinghe was so worried about all of it, you know?" "Oh, come on, Yuan!", Mo Zixuan joined in, "We went on with it just because we were aware of the fact that you were with her. Don't we know our Kiddo, but at all?" "Care to explain what exactly happened, by the way.", the man inhaled a sharp breath. Of course, they had thought it through. They were the Superfamily, for hell's sake. One of the world's…

Earlston, Scotland, 08:30; Xi Yuan lifted his head up to look at the huge screen, amused. He hadn't expected his mother to shield Rong Xinghe so firmly, to be honest. And as Li Jungah stormed out of the Conference Hall, the man finally noticed the girl sitting beside him. Her face was but void of any emotion. Though, he could see her hands trembling. "Xinghe...", the man put away the plate before he grabbed both her freezing hands into his, making her turn to look at him, "What is it, Love?", he asked,…

Earlston, Scotland, 08:00; The next morning, Xinguan sat in front of the LED TV in their living room, the girl's eyes glued to the flat screen, as the man focussed on coring the already peeled apples in his plate. Although he knew she was anxious about this interview, he couldn't think of anything to worry about, whatsoever. The Xi family elders had always been excellent with the Black sea of cameras. Dodging direct accusations, and replying to all sorts of twisted questions with absolute subtlety; was…

Earlston, Scotland, 15:15; As Xi Yuan walked away from the woman, Huang Biu had a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach. It was fear. The coldness in his eyes, and the contempt in his voice; she'd never been a prey to it before. And the more she thought about it, the more the dread twisted in her gut. At this time, the phone in her pocket rang up, and absent-mindedly her hand reached for it. The caller was Huang Ling, confirming Xi Yuan's threat. "We're investigating how the explosion happened…

Earlston, Scotland, 14:30; The girl fell asleep in Xi Yuan's arms, soon after she'd downed the glass of sweet and warm hot chocolate. Although Xi Yuan wasn't a professional doctor, judging by the sprain in her ankle, he could tell that she would not be able to walk or exert pressure upon her legs for the next few days. At least, not without support. But that was alright. He would simply tie her to the bed if she'd rebel too much. Until then though, she could sleep here on the couch, enveloped in his…

Earlston, Scotland, 12:45; "Get me an ice pack and some elastic bandage right now, Mr. Tang.", Xi Yuan commanded as he lowered the girl over one of the couch in the living room carefully. Huang Biu joined the two shortly after, as the house staff rushed past her in panic. "Is it paining too much, Madam?", one of the young maids enquired, her voice filled with genuine concern, "Should I go to call the doctor?" "I am alright, Elsie.", the woman laughed sweetly at the young girl, "Trust me." "Here,…

Rong Xinghe and Xi Yuan had just reached the Farmhouse when the man's phone started ringing in his pocket. Still holding onto Rong Xinghe's one hand, the man picked it up absent-mindedly, bringing it to his ear. "Is she okay?", Zhi Xi's voice came through the other end, "We just saw the headlines." "Ask her for yourself.", Xi Yuan smiled, passing the device to the girl beside him. "Hello, Brother?", the girl greeted, "I am fine." "That's a relief, then.", the man replied, nodding at Lu Wei and Mo…

It was now that she noticed the post that Li Jungah was talking about. Clearly, the username 'BlackHorse' couldn't belong to someone authentic or reliable, and yet, people were believing the person blindly. Well, that's how the mass mentality worked, when accompanied by social media. Rong Xinghe was well aware of that. To mock or judge someone, and to make inhumane and insensitive comments against someone, just for the sake of personal entertainment was something people in this era enjoyed. Who cared about…
