The couple arrived at the beautiful apartment on the ground floor. Yuan Rui lived in the area where only the rich and wealthy resided. He had a whole floor to himself as his residence. There were three other floors above him, but no one knew who stayed on the first floor.
The RV stopped at the front where they could easily help Yuan Rui out and lead him into the house. Zhi Rou wheeled him out of the RV and looked around, amazed. The garden around the apartment complex was amazing. It had an array of flowers, and the trees were magnificently maintained.
She wheeled him forward and they entered the complex. She saw an elevator, but was told to just head straight to door 100. Qing Shan stepped forward with the new key cards and entered the new password while explaining to Zhi Rou how to use them.
He scanned the card
Opening the door to her room, Zhi Rou walked in and was dumbstruck! Her bedroom was as big as the living room they were just in, and the decorations were similar to that of her old place. In the centre of the room against the wall was a king-sized bed covered in lavender bed sheets. A white- and lavender-coloured fluffy blanket was folded on the edge of the bed covering the base. The bed had six pillows on it; the bigger pillows were covered in lavender, the medium in white and the small oval pillows were grey with lavender-coloured stripes running horizontally. The floor had a lavender-coloured ruffle rug covering the centre with cherry wood floors. The cupboards matched the cherry wood floors that stood out well against the white walls. Zhi Rou had a walk-in bathroom between her cupboards and the cupboards themselves were neatly packed with all her clothes and shoes.
Qing Shan came over to Zhi Rou, and his mouth instantly watered at the smell of the orange and poppy seed muffins that assaulted his nose dangerously. He'd almost forgotten that he needed to report to her. She smiled at him. "You can have as many as you want soon. Let them cool off first." Snapping out of his daze as a honk blared through the complex from outside, Qing Shan said, "Jiang Hui Yin is outside and she wants to see the young master. He already ordered the security guards to not let her in, but she is stubborn and is still outside causing a ruckus." Zhi Rou raised a brow as she chopped up the mangetout and spring onions. Pursing her lips, she mumbled, "Well, it seems like Miss Jiang doesn't have manners. Qing Shan, tell them to send her away and if she still refuses, they should call the police and ask them to remove her from the premises. Mr. Zhao
"Have a seat," Zhi Rou said as she went to the kitchen. Qing Shan pulled out a plate and put muffins on it for Fang Liya. A second plate was prepared for Yuan Rui and Huang Yunshen. Fang Liya sat on the couch and watched the two intently. Zhi Rou was taking out the Granadilla muffins from the tray as she started, "The function you'll be organizing is for a wedding that will be held on the 29th of this month. As it is a wedding without much time, you'll need to be quick with the preparations." Fang Liya jotted down everything and thanked Qing Shan, who placed down the muffins and a glass of juice accompanied by a cup of tea. Her eyes followed Qing Shan to the kitchen, who grabbed a tray with the muffins on it and disappeared around the corner. ‘To whom is he taking it to if Mr. Zhao isn't here?’ She pulled out her phone and was about to contact Jiang Hui Yin.
Yan Su of Shattered Crystals arrived with her beautiful son Yan Li Jie at the Shenmin Guodu residential complex. She was greeted by Zhi Rou who immediately took her son and ran away with him to the kitchen. Qing Shan was completely dumbfounded after Zhi Rou squealed and took Yan Lie Jie forgetting about his mother.Yan Su didn’t mind at all and just smiled. Her son Yan Li Jie wasn’t fond of others but instantly connected with Zhi Rou. He wasn’t scared of her nor was he crying, in fact, he was laughing and happily took a plain vanilla muffin she handed him.Yuan Rui was in the living room this time along with Huang Yunshen. The two of them go way back with Yan Su still in their university days and when it was announced that she was the owner of Shattered Crystals they couldn’t believe it. Before his accident he contacted her many times to design a few pieces for Jiang Hui Yin, she made them herself and they were beautiful.Yan Su noticed s
Mr Zhao’s assistant sat outside the apartment complex and waited throughout the night. He watched all the cars go in and out and he already e-mailed his boss Yuan Rui’s schedule. He’ll be in the office most of the day and return later in the afternoon since his health still needed to be taken care of.When morning arrived, Qing Shan was outside the complex meeting with a mercenary who Yuan Rui hired as his wife’s CPO. He climbed into the SUV with the man and was let into the complex by the security guard. Ten minutes later Yuan Rui’s RV came out.Mr Zhao’s assistant wasn’t sure if he should follow the RV because he was most-likely heading to the office whereas Qing Shan accompanied the mercenary in and he did not see that vehicle exit the complex. Just as was about to phone Yuan Rui’s secretary, the vehicle he spotted heading in came driving out.By instinct, he started up the vehicle and followed it. The vehicle s
Troubled for the past two years – Rui – But a child? He composed himself and asked, “My dear, this husband of yours sounds like a kind man but what do you mean by him being troubled… if that’s not too personal for you too answer?” Zhi Rou shook her head with a smile, “My husband, unfortunately, met with an accident two years ago and was put in a wheelchair. He has been self-conscious ever since until he met me! We slept together and had a baby that I gave birth to last week. I told him he needs to take responsibility for the child and I so we are getting married on Saturday.” Mr Zhao felt the energy get sucked out of his body hearing her words. Accident – Wheelchair – baby? I thought he was impotent for fuck's sake!! What about Jiang Hui Yin? Who was this woman? Yuan Rui was getting married and had a child out of wedlock?! Why did he try to commit suicide when she was giving birth to his son? No wonder she was there by the hospital speaking to Yunshen! Yunshe
In the clothing store, Zhi Rou smiled from ear to ear. Honestly, Mr Zhao, I’ve been staring at your son since I met him. That mole on your nose is exactly the same as the one Yuan Rui has. To think that father-in-law already knows about us? I wonder what he’ll do about it.*Zhao Shaotian walked into Yuan Rui’s office unannounced. He opened the door slowly and saw that his son was on his phone texting with a smile on his face. Zhao Shaotian looked at his son stunned. He stood at the door silently watching his son smile at the device. It suddenly rang in his hand and he answered it with a smile, “Okay its final, I’ve registered his name as Zhao Shaotian.”Hearing the same name being called, his heart shuddered, was he talking to Zhi Rou? Yuan Rui continued laughing. He sat up in his wheelchair and looked up. Seeing his father standing there he froze. “I-I’ll call you back,” he said and ended the call.H
Zhi Rou was sitting in Yuan Rui’s office behind his desk. The laptop she was given was connected to the wifi. She typed in a website she knew of and smiled when she saw the many options the website provided. She created an account with her name Zhao Zhi Rou and added her account number from the bank card she received from Yuan Rui. The bank card and laptop weren’t the only things she received, Yuan Rui gave her a mobile phone too that needed some time to figure out how to use properly.The website she was visiting was one that provided all the essential artwork needed for a classroom such as individual abc cards, colour and shape cards. Individual birthday A4 sheets, a height measuring wall chart and more. She chose to decorate the baby’s room with all of these charts and cards for it to be more stimulating for the little one.There were many options as she was browsing through the sites making feel overwhelmed. She finally decided on choosing the owl
A few years later…With the children all grown up and making life horrible for both mother and father always constantly fighting.The doorbell rang one Saturday morning.Zhi Rou walked over to open it and saw the courier with a bouquet of flowers. She signed for it and walked in while she yelled, “Yuan Rui! You have a gift.”He walked down the steps with his phone in his hands and looked at her, confused. “Flowers? From who?”She shrugged and handed him the flowers and crossed her hands the moment he took them. He looked around for the card and peaked at his wife, who had a frown. Placing the flowers down, he opened the envelope and took the card out.
Zhi Rou was out busy with the company work, and the children were at a private school. Yuan Rui was left at home because he no longer wanted to work. He was sitting in the den watching a movie. Jiang Hui Yin walked into the house from the back looking for something to eat when she heard the sound of a gun going off. She went to the kitchen first to make herself something to eat, but then she heard a laugh that she hadn’t heard in a long time. Her heart skipped a beat, recalling how they used to spend time together and loved each other. Thinking about it, she wondered when she stopped loving him. She took in a deep breath and went to him with a sandwich for him, too. Yuan Rui immediately looked at her, shocked when
It has been a few days since Jiang Hui Yin moved in with them. She kept to herself, although she did not want to. Things between Yuan Rui and his wife were tense, as she would bite his head off for every little thing.Zhi Rou held lunch and invited someone who they’d least expected.Zhao Nianzhen stood at the door at a loss. He wasn’t sure what to do or what to say and it was not like he had a guilty conscience, it's just that he betrayed everyone and he was not sure how they were going to act when they saw him.He rang the doorbell, and the butler opened it. To his surprise, Nianzhen smiled at him awkwardly and asked, “Am I late for lunch?”He shook his head. “No, you are not.”He walked i
“So you honestly expect us to live in the same house as the person who tried to kill YOUR husband?!” Zhao Ming Ling screeched.Zhi Rou looked at her and nodded her head. Zhao Shaotian stood behind his daughter and stared at Zhi Rou. His gaze flicked over to his son and he asked, “Did you agree to this?”Yuan Rui pulled his hands out of his pockets and walked away. He was not happy about this whole situation, but his wife enjoyed playing games. Little Shao followed behind his father while Zhi Ling was crawling around.Zhi Rou had the baby in her arms and her son was not happy about it, giving her the silent treatment. Zhi Rou handed the child to Jiang Hui Yin and said, “I am sure you know your way to the servants’ quarter.”“My child and I will not sleep in the servants’ quarters!” She growled at her.Zhi Rou stepped up into her personal space and said in a low voice,
Yuan Rui saw Jiang Hui Yin walking out of the prison doors and climbed out of the car. She looked at him, surprised when she saw him. She was just released from prison with no information and seeing him in front of her, everything made sense.She smirked inwardly, thinking, ‘You are such a fool.’ She smiled at him as she stopped in front of him. Looking into his eyes she said, “I knew you would come for us.”He stared at her momentarily, then looked down at the baby boy in her arms. He took the child from her, confusing her. She also wanted to protest, but then thought that it would be best not to make him angry.He looked at her and saw that she had an uncomfortable expression on her face and said, “I only dropped the charges because you can’t raise this child in prison.” He walked back to the car, climbing in at the back and closed the door.She thought he was going to leave her behind and
Zhi Rou sighed and stared at the wall her son was drawing on. She was rubbing her chin assessing his drawing. Yuan Rui walked over to her and sat down on the floor beside her. He handed her a plate of sandwiches and asked, “So, is he a genius in the making?” Zhi Rou shook her head while she bit down on the chicken sandwich, “No, I just think he is messing with us and that shit isn’t going to wash off.” “We’ll have to paint over it before we move out,” he said to her. She raised a brow asking, “But we just moved into this place,” referring to the estate the Zhao’s owned. He smirked and said, “I don’t actually like this place, weren’t you talking about a house with three or four bedrooms?” She rolled her eyes at him, “I am not about to pack and unpack to make things co
6 months later.Zhi Rou looked glared at her son who was crawling towards the kitchen table. He then climbed up and was standing. He turned to look at his mother and smiled, “Mama.”“Don’t mama me, come here, you need to bath. If I am late for my meeting you will be a motherless child,” she warned him.He started laughing and waddled towards her. She held out her hand for him to grab her hand and she said, “I don’t understand why you are so afraid of walking, you could have been walking years ago but nooo, you choose now only.”She picked him up and stripped him out of his clothes and said, “You are going to bath now and then I am going to dress you up in a suit and we’ll get your sister and head to the office.&
Zhi Rou sat in a wheelchair outside the surgery room and looked at her husband who was sitting not too far from her on a hospital chair eating ice cream. He looked down at her when he felt someone staring at him and smiled at her, “What are you thinking?”“Nothing in particular,” she answered.“Then why the long face? Are you going to cry?” He asked.She shook her head, “No, I’m just wondering how long her hair is going to be. Mine was so crazy to maintain that I ended up cutting it.”“Yes, only after I kicked you out of the house,” Yuan Rui answered with a smirk.Zhao Mian walked over holding Shaotian with her father beside her. She smiled as she walked over t
Zhao Mian and her husband arrived at the hospital shortly after Yuan Rui left and found her parents sitting outside Zhi Rou's room."Mother, father? Is she going to be okay?" She asked looking into the hospital room. She could see the baby had an oxygen tank attached to her in a Neonatal Intensive Care bed.Zhao Chou sighed rocking back and forth with Shaotian asleep in her arms and said, "The doctors said her womb ruptured and there was accessive bleeding. She's in an induced coma to heal and might stay longer in hospital as well. The baby was fine when your brother was still here but she suddenly stopped breathing. They resuscitated her and now she is on oxygen support.”Zhao Mian sighed as she sat down beside her mother and she kissed Shaotian on the head, “He must be really worried about her, babies
