Riku widened his eyes, disbelief written all over his face. "You found her?" "I did." He nodded before looking at Lily. "Lily, this is Riku Ito, he is the manager of this resort and a very good friend of mine," he said in English, with a neutral accent. "Hi, nice to meet you," Riku said in his Japanese-accented English. "I have heard a lot of things about you." "Hi, call me Lily," she said while giving Riku a polite smile. Lily didn’t miss what Riku said earlier. Could it be that Zhuo Jingren…

"Go get dressed. Let’s have brunch first then I will bring you on a tour around the resort," he said. As Zhuo Jingren watched Lily returning to her room quietly, he thought about how amazing it was to be able to spend the weekend with Lily. This was something that he never thought was possible just a few days back. Even though Lily was still treating him like a stranger, Zhuo Jingren was not planning to give up until she agrees to marry him. While waiting for Lily to get ready, Zhuo Jingren took out…

June 18th, Saturday - 4th day The plane landed in Tokyo slightly after one in the morning. From the airport, they boarded another helicopter and was in the air for another twenty minutes before landing in a place called Fussa City. By the time they landed, it was almost two in the morning and Lily was really sleepy. "Where are we?" Lily stifled a yawn when she got off the helicopter. "I purchased this land years ago and built a resort here. It’s called ’The Countryside’," Zhuo Jingren said…

June 17th, Friday - 3rd Day As usual, Lily’s day started with breakfast, lovingly prepared by Zhuo Jingren. This time, the latter had even joined her for her usual morning Yoga before making breakfast for her. In fact, Zhuo Jingren had left his home at Sky City and moved into Lily’s apartment building. He moved into a one-bedroom apartment that was two floors below Lily overnight. Even though this new apartment was smaller and it didn’t give him a magnificent view of the city he was used to…

"What do you mean?" Xuan Hui said. "Well, what if she lied? What if she was here the whole time but under a different name?" Qin Fei said. "This must be the reason why she was so confident when she said that she will wait for you to contact her company." "Because, she must have changed her name and is not using the name ’Qin Jinghua’ anymore," she added. Xuan Hui narrowed his eyes in contemplation. Qin Fei had a point. Qin Jinghua could be using a different name now. "You are a genius," he…

June 16th, Thursday - 2nd Day "President Zhuo." Mu Qingling remained calm and composed and addressed Zhuo Jingren with a smile, "I have been waiting here for almost thirty minutes now. I certainly did not expect to be chased away before we could even discuss the final details for the fundraiser next month." Secretary Go was taken aback at how eloquent Mu Qingling was despite being treated harshly by President Zhuo. Having met Mu Qingling twice before today, Secretary Go was familiar with her…

June 16th, Thursday - 2nd Day After Zhuo Jingren bid goodbye to Lily, he immediately made his way to his Bentley which was waiting for him just outside of the apartment building. "What do I have for today," he asked before he loosened his tie. "You have three meetings today.Your first meeting is with Miss Mu Qingling, the heiress of Scarlet City, to finalize the details of the fundraiser next month. Then you have a meeting at 1pm with our board of directors. The last meeting is with the planning…

June 16th, Thursday - 2nd Day Since Wednesday ended up with Lily sleeping her day away, all of her meetings were cancelled and pushed to the next day. "Did you sleep well?" Zhuo Jingren asked in concern the moment Lily stepped out of the bathroom, having just finished her shower. At the present, the man was leisurely sitting on the couch inside her room, with his legs crossed. He was wearing a casual shirt, paired with dark blue trousers. He had a laptop in front of him and his right hand held a cup…

Li Shanshan narrowed her eyes at the man in front of her. "President Zhuo, Renren or whatever your name is. I want you to listen... And you listen well... My Lily stopped needing people a long time ago. With your status and connections, I won’t be surprised if you already knew this about her." "My Lily, is the strongest person that I know. She is her own heroine. So I trust that she will know what to do with you." "Since you have the guts to express your feelings to my best friend, I won’t…

"What is wrong with her?" Zhuo Jingren’s face was grim. He watched as the doctor busied himself writing Lily’s prescription before answering. "Miss Qin is fine. But she needs to eat more and sleep more," the doctor said while handing a prescription to Zhuo Jingren, who then passed it to Yang Mi. "What about her allergies? Did she faint because of the smell of the lilies?" he asked, feeling angry at himself. Zhuo Jingren really wanted to slap himself right now. He was so excited about the idea of…
