Preparations for the opening ceremony of Facci Group’s headquarters and Harmony Isle, happening on the same day, had been smooth. It was not as chaotic as she thought it would be. Even though she didn’t want to admit it, she knew that one of the reasons for this was because of Zhuo Jingren’s help and influence. July 20th, Wednesday. Lily had arranged for Zhuo Jingren and George to meet at one of the upscale tea houses in Hong Kong. However, George informed her that he would be slightly late…

At Sky City. It was around six in the evening, and the couple was busy cooking in the kitchen. "I thought the recipe states to add three to four cloves of garlic? Why are you adding ten?" Zhuo Jingren asked curiously. "I am a very garlicky person," Lily noted as she continued adding other ingredients. She loved garlic, alright. "Wouldn’t that change the taste of the dish?" "Why would it?" she asked. "Hmmm... I guess this would explain why your cooking cannot compare to mine. You have no…

After leaving Scarlet City, Lily checked the time and cursed when she saw that it was almost four in the afternoon. How could she still bring coffee to her husband at this hour? So she decided to cook dinner instead. But first, she needed to shop for groceries. "Yang Mi," Lily called. "Yes, president." "Go to the nearest bookstore and get me the best-selling recipe book by Gordon Ramsay," she said. Lily knew that she was lacking in the culinary department but she was willing to challenge…

"What do you mean?" Tang Lingyun asked. "Think about it Mother. Grandfather died two years before Qin Jinghua’s arranged marriage. Back then, Grandfather also insisted to have her marry Xuan Hui. But his will clearly stated that for Qin Jinghua to qualify for the inheritance, she had to be single and her surname had to be a ’Qin’ at the time of the reading. Do you think Grandfather didn’t want Qin Jinghua to qualify for the inheritance?" Qin Fei asked. This question had been bugging her for a…

"Your mind is always thinking of money but your body actually betrays you. Am I right to say that I have a shameless wife?" "Hah! I am a strong and independent woman of the 21st century. I know what I want. But if you insist on giving your body, I will take it too!" Lily shamelessly said, taking off her stilettos. However, just when Lily was about to lie down beside Zhuo Jingren, he suddenly pulled her on top of him. With her body on top of his, their faces were really close and they could even feel…

"Let’s continue this meeting tomorrow," Lily said as she stood from her seat and walked out of the boardroom with the sternest expression that she could muster. "Aiya... I am speechless. Totally speechless! The president was trying so hard not so smile. Did you see that blush?" one of the directors said the moment Lily walked out of the room. "Apparently, President Qin is capable of blushing." Another middle-aged director added."What an eye-opener." "Until now we are still not aware of who…

"President Zhuo... If you don’t mind me saying this, I am just a mere lawyer. I don’t think I should be involved in these things." Lawyer Yan found the courage to tell Zhuo Jingren what was on his mind. After thinking through, he still didn’t understand why he mattered in the grand scheme of things. "Lawyer Yan..." Zhuo Jingren stared at the lawyer intently. "To be honest, I don’t know either." His words immediately surprised Lawyer Yan. "However, what I know is that my wife will soon take down…

Yang Lina knew that there was nothing more she could say that could convince Xuan Hui to listen to her. He was adamant not to leave his wife. At the end of the day, Xuan Hui was still her son and Yang Lina would not do anything to hurt him. So the discussion ended with a compromise. Xuan Hui and Qin Fei would announce that Qin Fei had been estranged from the Tang family for a while now and that she had not been keeping contact with them after she married into the Xuan family. Yang Lina also warned…

"What? Are you not going to answer me?" Xuan Hui hissed in irritation. "CEO Xuan, our team did our best to filter all those news but...for some reason, there were a lot of articles that were released together. Hence it took us a longer time to go through all of them. We reported some of them but it also took a while before they were taken down from the internet," the head of the IT department reasoned. Xuan Hui gritted his teeth in annoyance. He wanted to vent his frustrations on them but realized…
