"What do you mean by ’it’s closed’?" Qin Fei’s voice echoed inside the limousine before she looked at the time on her watch. They had been stuck in traffic for more than twenty minutes only to arrive at a closed road because of some construction going on. It was already half past seven, the after-party would have already started. To celebrate the end of Fashion Week, many influential brands would throw their own parties to celebrate the success of their shows. While Qin Fei would have loved to…

Lily arrived in Hong Kong on Thursday afternoon. The first thing that came to her mind was to look for Li Shanshan. She wanted to find out if Fernando and Li Shanshan have cleared the air. But to Lily’s surprise, Li Shanshan was not in Hong Kong. The latter only sent Lily a text to tell her that she was currently in Thailand for filming. In the end, Lily just went straight home to rest up. She wanted to be in the best condition to attend the Fashion Week’s after-party the next day. Friday.…

Thursday. Zhuo Jingren would be flying to New York for work while Lily would be flying back to Hong Kong to attend the Fashion Week’s after party. Of course, before Zhuo Jingren left, he made sure Lily promised to call him every day on Skype. He could not even stand not seeing Lily even for a day but now they would have to be apart for days. "President? Here is the folder that you asked me to hold on for you until we leave Hong Kong." Yang Mi gave a folder to Lily after they boarded their private…

Rumors about Lily’s not so pleasant encounter with a certain group of people at the London Village Stables started spreading like a fire among the socialite circle. Did they think that Lily would let this incident pass just because they knew one another? People started ridiculing the group of men and women for behaving poorly in front of someone like Lily and offending her. After all, Lily Qin’s identity was also not simple. She might not be the Queen bee but the Queen bee was surely afraid of her.…

"Alright, you can’t be too tense or you will start to bounce," Lily said sternly before she pulled the reins of her horse to signal it to slow down while waiting for Zhuo Jingren to catch up to her. They were currently circling slowly around the barn to get used to riding. "Just relax...I noticed that you tend to tighten your legs around the horse which is not good. You have to think of... how should I put it..." She made a deliberate pause. "It’s like being one with the horse. Imagine it as an…

While Lily and Zhuo Jingren were enjoying their time together, Xuan Hui was having a bad day in Hong Kong. When Xuan Hui woke up this morning, he received a call from his secretary who informed him that Liam Arison was ousted from his CEO position in Arison Holdings and that put him in a pensive mood. So when his wife Qin Fei came up to him and began to talk excitedly about the Fashion Week’s after party which was going to happen on Friday, Xuan Hui just wasn’t in the mood to talk at all. To Xuan…

"We have at least seven miles of well-maintained trails around the perimeter of this park. This park is perfect for beginners. In fact, we would even recommend that a beginner start with our horse riding simulator first before riding the real one," Luke patiently explained as he led them to another barn. "We also have a team of professionals that is fully qualified to teach aspiring riders as young as four-year-old." He then eyed Lily and Zhuo Jingren before he continued to lead them without saying another…

London Village Stables. "This horse belonged to my grandmother," Lily said as she approached a black horse with white pattern of pigmented spots all over its body, safely stabled in a stall. It had taken them almost fifteen minutes of walking to get to this stable from where they were earlier. "His name is Six. An Irish Cob that my grandfather gave my grandmother on their 36th wedding anniversary." "Come... you can touch him. He is extremely sweet," Lily said as she slowly rubbed the neck of the…

Zhuo Jingren eyed the tall gates made of wrought iron that were slowly opened by two guards. Then the car that they were riding in slowly entered the property, revealing another road surrounded by tall lush orange trees. "My grandfather love oranges so much. So my grandmother asked someone to surround the mansion with orange trees," Lily quickly explained, her eyes were taking in the scenery outside the car. "The last time I was here was two months ago, during Grandmother’s funeral and burial."…

Lily bit her bottom lip as she mulled over Zhuo Jingren’s words. As her head was resting close to his chest, she could clearly hear his heartbeat, the steady rhythm was calming her down. She was surprised at her outburst just minutes ago. Why was she so emotional? He was clearly just worried about her. He had been searching for her for years, it was only natural that he feared losing her again. Lily closed her eyes to calm her nerves. Lashing out on Zhuo Jingren was wrong - so wrong. The sound of…
