Zhuo Jingren gave a slight frown at Mu Qingling before he led Lily away. He did not have any intent of engaging Mu Qingling any further. He led Lily towards a table right in the center of the ballroom where only a few people were seated. Since this was not really a big event, the people in attendance were not that many but most of them came from an impressive background. There were politicians, TV personalities and businessmen who came here to have some fun while donating to a cause. "Mr. Zhuo." An…

’Private Meeting?’ Lily raised an eyebrow at the woman’s words. She closely examined Mu Qingling who was looking straight at Zhuo Jingren. The woman was flowing with confidence, her back was straight and poised, as if she had a lot of practice perfecting the proper posture. "I don’t remember you," Zhuo Jingren said before he turned to Lily. "Let’s go change your clothes." "Alright." Lily nodded before she flashed a smile at Mu Qingling. Then Zhuo Jingren led her to the restroom. His hand…

Lily’s lips turned up into a smile as she sat down. To think that Zhuo Jingren could still think of having a date just after a round of drama. Lily wanted to roll her eyes at this man’s antics. But if she was honest about her feelings, she was actually happy that they were finally going on a date like any normal couple. After Zhuo Jingren made sure that Lily was well-seated, he happily took the seat across from her and picked up the menu. He even looked elegant looking at the menu. After spending…

Seeing Lily’s provocative smile, Qin Mo and Tang Lingyun instantly fumed. Qin Mo balled his hands into fists, his body was also trembling in anger. "Mo...." Tang Lingyun uttered timidly. Qin Mo glared coldly at Tang Lingyun which made her shudder. "This is your fault!" Qin Mo shouted angrily. Qin Mo gritted his teeth as he rose from his seat. "Once Qin Jinghua’s name is removed from the family registry, it will be harder for me to transfer the shares and properties in my name when she dies!"…

"Erm... Mr. Zhuo, this..." Tang Lingyun stuttered. "Daohu, secure the gifts. Remind me to put them up for a charity auction." Zhuo Jingren interrupted Tang Lingyun before he turned towards Lily. "See? Don’t be mad anymore alright?" At Zhuo Jingren’s command, Daohu took the jewelry away from the husband and wife and stood behind Zhuo Jingren and Lily obediently. "Mr. Zhuo... there seems to be a misunderstanding here... when did we say that opal brings bad luck. Jinghua, how could you put words…

Seeing Tang Lingyun’s reaction, Qin Mo quickly opened his box as well. Qin Mo widened his eyes when he saw a black ring with a black gem on it. "Is this... Opal?" His face immediately turned ugly as he took the ring out from the box to look more closely at it. The ring was made of white gold, he was sure of it but why did it have to come with a black cushion cut opal on top? "Do you know the meaning behind an opal?" he asked, feeling anger rising inside him. "Isn’t it supposed to bring good luck?…

Lily put on a smile for Qin Mo and Tang Lingyun as she entered the private room that they reserved for this meeting. She gracefully took a seat across the couple and propped her face on her palm. "You came alone," Qin Mo stated calmly. He knew he shouldn’t agitate this woman right now. "Where is your husband?" "I told you he is a very busy man. Don’t worry, he will come soon," she said before she opened the menu and read its contents. "Have you ordered anything?" she asked, ignoring Qin Mo’s…

After breakfast, Zhuo Jingren parted ways with Lily rather unwillingly. The conversation they had in the morning kept replaying in his mind and he ended up smiling and humming a tune to himself all the way until he reached his office. In the afternoon, he received a call from Lily telling him that they would be meeting her parents for dinner. It surprised him greatly but he did not oppose to the meeting. Instead, he immediately cleared his schedule for the rest of the day so that he could accompany Lily…

The door opened and there stood Zhuo Jingren with a serious expression on his face. He strode forward and stopped right in front of her wordlessly with an intense gaze that was almost threatening. His face was so close that Lily could smell the light scent of his aftershave. Lily stared into his eyes which had obviously darkened. For a second, Lily thought that he was angry because she doubted his manhood? But before she could continue pondering over the matter, Zhuo Jingren yanked her towards him, his…

"Anything else?" Lily asked. Dinner? She couldn’t help but wonder what they were up to again. "No... but.... Will you be able to come for dinner? The least you could do is to introduce your husband to your father." "My husband is an extremely busy man. I will tell you when he is available," she said before cutting the call. That woman must be trying to scheme again. Lily couldn’t wait to see the look on Tang Lingyun’s face once she finds out that she now owns a large amount of shares in Qin…
