"  Oh...Who is disturbing my sleep this early morning ? " Jiang Xiuying groaned, her slender hand reaching out for her phone that had been ringing for the nth time.

Thankfully, she didn't drink much last night or else she would have been suffering from a splitting headache. After her lengthy monologue with the moon, she somehow found her way to her bedroom.

" Hmm..." She sleepily said into the phone with her hair sprawled over her bed. The next thing she heard made all the sleep in her eyes clear at once. She sprang up from her bed in haste and ended the call.

" Woohoo... Seems I didn't shed tears for nothing." Xiuying said excitedly as she made her way into the kitchen. Her hair was tied in a messy bun with her baby hair scattered over her face. She looked ethereal. Whenever she was in a good mood, she always made sure to put in her best for the food she wants to cook. 

Well...today, she got too excited and made a burnt toast and milk for herself and her beloved little son.

Yuxuan came out of his room with a slight frown on his cute face. Apart from the smell of the burnt toast, he was woken up by his mother's loud singing voice. 

" Oh...you are awake? Did I wake you up?" Jiang Xiuying asked walking over to where he was. She picked him up and placed a loud smacking kiss on each of  his round cheeks. Yuxuan in turn gave her a big kiss on her left cheek. That was their way of greeting every morning.

She led him to the dining room and placed him on his high baby seat. Yuxuan wearily looked at the milk on the table. He didn't dare to take a sip knowing Xiuying doesn't know how to cook at all. There was once when he and Yutong drank the milk made by her. It was very salty. Apparently, she had mistaken salt for sugar while preparing it for them.

Jiang Xiuying saw the kind of look he had on his face. She couldn't help but pout.

" You should drink up. I already ensured there is no problem with it. " She said to her son but he was still hesitant. " Forget it. I can see you don't believe me" Xiuying took a powerful gulp of her milk and showed him her half filled glass. Yuxuan gave his mother a smile then proceeded to drink his milk.

She really needs to learn how to cook.

" Ms. Xiuying" Shancai greeted respectfully as she opened the car for her boss. . She wasn't wearing her usual k-pop fashioned clothes. She chose to wear a light blue short jacket on her white shirt and a light blue pleated short skirt with a pair of  stilettoes to match showing of her slender long legs. Rather than her usual colourful wigs, she held her real hair into a ponytail leaving some curls at each side of her head that dropped a little below her chin.

Shancai watched in admiration as her boss  entered the car with elegance. As much as Xiuying tried to hide it, the air of excitement wrapped around her like a cocoon. It was true she was excited that she could hear her heart beating in anticipation for their next meeting. She felt like a kid that was promised a dollhouse. Taking a deep breath, she turned to Yuxuan who was curiously looking at her. 

He already knew something was up judging from how she woke up early and tried to prepare breakfast for both of them.

Shancai didn't know what was going on between Xiuying and the President of Caomei Entertainment. From her point not of view, it seemed Xiuying is head over heels for Zheng Tianyi. It's possible she has had a crush on him for a long time and when an opportunity finally arrives, she chose to strike the iron while hot. 

There is no doubt but Zheng Tianyi has no place to push it. The only person willing to sell the shares of ZG Group was only Jiang Xiuying.

" I'm sorry President Zheng, it seemed that someone deliberately covered the tracks of Ms Jiang. No matter how hard we tried, the information we got was still the same as the one she has given you. We were able to confirm that she had no relationship with Zheng Donghai. It's more like they had no connection at all with one another" Han Sen politely delivered the news. Inwardly, he was baffled for not bring able to find a tangible piece of information about her. It was as if she had vanished on the surface of the earth for five years and just returned from no where.

" Leave!!" Zheng Tianyi quietly ordered. Han Sen quickly obliged and ran out with his tail between his legs.

Zheng Tianyi sighed and walked to floor to ceiling glass wall. Looking at the numerous building, his eyes unconsciously went to an high rise building which had " ZG " engraved on the top. Something unfathomable flashed across his eyes but disappeared in a matter of seconds.

In few hours, he would have a meeting with Jiang Xiuying. He might as well have a " nice" talk with her.
