The next morning, Yu Ran summoned Jack to meet him in his study room. Open the door, Yu Ran offers Jack to take a seat in front of him which is standing behind his study desk.
"Sir," he said as he salutes to the man and pulls out the chair.
"Jack, is there anything that you hide from me and afraid of telling me?" Yu Ran asked cautiously.
"What do you mean sir?" he furrows his eyebrow not understanding his boss meaning behind those questions.
"I mean. About your private life?"
"Am I burdening you with a load of work until you did not find a good time to spend your time with your love one?" he then look at the man with some seriousness in his face. He wants to know what is Jack thinking. He thought of Jack just like his son, Yu Lin. He is a good soldier and very reliable.
"No sir, my time is perfect and my assignment also in perfect sync with my daily schedule," Jack replied firmly.
"Hmm, if that so...then I need you to take your time o
"Hey, talk to me." he tilts his head and searches for her eyes.Averting her eyes away from him, she just replies with a short sentence. "Are you hungry?""Yeah. Lunch with me?" he said to her and release his hand from cupping her face.Lee Zhing's shake her head. "No, I'm sorry. I had another meeting after this." she already stood up from the sofa and dust off her coat before she walks to her desk.Jack walk behind her, when she turned around, she bumps her head to his chest.Grab her waist, he holds her so that she will not fall down."Are you okay?"She nodded again and release his hand from her waist."Yeah. I'll see you again."Jack quickly grab her arm when she wants to walk away from him."Hey.." he pulls Lee Zhing into his embrace and hugs her lightly.Whisper to her ear, he said. "I miss you. Let's have lunch together after you are done with your meeting, okay?"With a heavy sigh, she nodded
At the weekend.Jack wearing a black suit and he combs his hair neatly. In his right hand, there is also a bouquet of roses he had prepared and a bottle of high-quality wine.Yu Lin who helps him to get dressed patted on his shoulder. "I feel like you want to get married today." he chuckled a little.Zi Fei who standing behind them also chuckles. "Yeah, you look nervous. Like you were forced to marry her.""Relax Jack. It just meeting her family. And fortunately, we too had a business that requires us to go there too." Yu Ran said with a firm voice patting his shoulder.Jack nodded....They arrived at the Lee Mansion in the evening.When they walk inside the mansion that leads by Mr. Chu, all Lees already in the hall, having a light conversation among themselves.Hai Rin and Richard were just come down from upstairs. When she sees Yu Ran, she immediately walks to him."Dad.." she hugs
In the blinks of eyes, it almost past one month. Hai Rin has been busy with her business since it is now early in November, she needs to prepare for the winter season soon.While Richard is also busy with his new project. He keeps traveling and sometimes, he only return back for a few days before he goes to travel again.Lee Zhing is also busy with her business. Even so, she still makes time for her to meet Jack. Sometimes, it was Jack who spends his time to accompany Lee Zhing in her office, staring her the whole day without doing nothing.Today she had a date with Jack, he brings her to watch a movie at the cinema and have dinner too around the city.While they eating dinner, suddenly she looked at the man, asking him a very important question."Jack.""Hm?" he focuses on his plate without looking at her"Will you marry me?" she asked."No. Find another man," he said with a flat voice."Hey, I'm serious."
In the car, Lee Zhing looked at the outside of the window. Her heart feels hurt and her mind could not stop rewinding Jack's image and the girl beside him at the restaurant.She closed her eyes, try to not thinking about him again. Not long after, Zhen Yu, her blind date asks her."Are you okay Lady Lee? You look a bit distracted since we exit the restaurant. Is there anything that I might be missing out on?"Shake her head, she said with a soft voice."No. I just feel a bit tired today.""If that the case, you should take a good rest. Good night, Lady Lee." He stops his car at the entrance of the Lee mansion.Nod her head, she thanks him for the dinner today.After taking a bath and change into her sleepwear, she falls to a deep slumber.Dreaming that Jack coming to meet her secretly in her room and kiss her lips before he went away.It was a good dream since she has been missing that man badly....
When Lee Zhing is in the restroom, she bumps with the girl that was with Jack earlier. She intends to ask her about their relationship, she then approaches the girl."Ah hi..excuse me, but may I know-" Nani already turned her face around to look at the woman behind her."Yes?" she asked the girl in front of her before Lee Zhing could finish her sentence."Is the man with you right now is your boyfriend?"Nani furrows her eyebrow a little. Looking at the woman up and down she thought.'She can't be Jack's girlfriend right? Her dress is expensive and she also does not look like an ordinary citizen too. No way Jack gonna make her his girlfriend base on his stoic attitude. She is too... 'girly'. Ahh..maybe she had taken an interest toward Jack?'With that thought, she nodded her head. "Yeah." Lee Zhing's heart sank but she still wants to ask her again."How..how long did you..""Oh..you mean together with him? Hmm..3 years
Jack keep silent."Don't joke around Jack, it is impossible for you to hook up with Lady Lee. She is not in your league." his dad warned him."Did I look like I'm joking right now Mr. Chen?" Jack asked with a serious tone. He's totally serious with what he just said just now."No, you can't marry her. If you insist on marrying her, you need to follow the rules. Get discharge from the military. Hand over your tag and stars you earn.""Dad..""Otherwise, don't carry my name. I can't let you disgracing our family's reputation. All of our generations are working as a military. None of them dare enough to marry such a high-status woman. And you know why?"Jack divert his eyes to somewhere else.He knows. He knows the reason.High-status people are very particular about their daughter's life. Marrying a soldier is a mustn't. Especially for someone with his rank, who put his life in the first line in order to save someone from the nob
It's been a week since she arrives in Istanbul. She planned on going back to Imperial City after she's done with the conference meeting on the last day, but suddenly she got a call from Zhen Yu telling her that he is in the same city as her.He is in the airline business, thus he usually travels a lot to other countries. They decide to meet at Cappadocia on the weekend.Return to Lee's manor, she took a shower, dinner, and sleep. Just after she closed her eyes for a few minutes, suddenly her phone rang.

I need to see you." his voice was calm."Where am I is not your concern Jack, there is nothing that we can talk about. So, there is no need to meet me again." she brushes her hair to the side and sits up
When Jack and Lee Zhing return to Imperial City, they decide to announce their engagement and held a wedding in the next year.Mu Ning can't interfere with her daughter's decision again since Lee Zhuan already make her clear that whoever his daughter chooses to be with, he will accept it. Lee Zhen also didn't say anything regarding this matter.Even though Mu Ning really wants Zhen Yu to be her daughter's husband, but she didn't dare to voice it out. At last, she just follows what others decided. Xin Me and Lee Han also agree with Jack being one of the Lees....Within a blink of eyes, it's almost Christmas now.In the dining room, Hai Rin requests to Lee Zhen that she and Richard want to celebrate Christmas in Calestical City.Fortunately, Lee Zhen did not too strict with her. He let her celebrate with her adoptive family. They take an early flight on 23rd December and will be back after 25th December.....They

He turned his head to his butler."Who...Who did this?"Clearing his throat, he narrowed his eyes toward a small figure on the right side of the pond.Lee Zhen also looks at the direction where Mr Chu looked.He gasps."Athena.. what are you doing here, sweety?" he walks to the girl. His gaze turns soft. All his angry vanish instantly."Fish…eating." Her small and cute voice made his old heart joyed."But, sweetheart, this koi here do not eat bread.

After Hai Rin has her dinner with Zhi Ann, she continues to lay on her bed. She keeps on vomiting. Everything that she eats, will throw out back.
