On the other side of the globe.

Zhenyi hadn't been able to sleep peacefully after Long Jie left her to find a company with the cold bed. Sigh. There was nothing to be dramatic about it, but what could she do? It had been his fault solely as he had not left her alone for the last two months. He would stick to her in one way or the other. At that time, she used to find it annoying as she hadn't had time for herself but now, look at her. Now that she got the 'real' alone time, she didn't want it anymore.

'Why don't you call him?' the angel on her right shoulder asked.

Zhenyi pondered for a moment as she was about to nod, just then the devil sitting on the left side of her shoulder spoke.

'Why should you call first when hadn't bothered to check on his wife?'

Zhenyi again contemplated for a moment before nodding.

'Dont listen to this blackie!' The angel on her left shoulder whispered.

'Shut up! Why should she call him first? He had been gone for a whole day now and hadn't called her. So, you shut up!' The blackie opps devil exclaimed.

"Shut up, both of you!" Zhenyi shouted.

"Zhenyi!"

"Sis!"

Fan Bingbing and Aria who was sitting near her looked at her in confusion. They were just talking then why was Zhenyi asking them to shut up?

Zhenyi realized what she had done because of two brats sitting on he shoulder. She glared at them inwardly and muttered a sorry to Fan Bingbing and Aria.

'I'm going crazy! It's just happening because of you, Jie.'

Zhenyi was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice Aria and Fan Bingbing looking at her in certainty. They just knew what was going on with her.

The mournful expression on her face explains it all.

"Zhenyi?" Fan Bingbing called her out.

"Hmm?"

"Where is your husband?"

Zhenyi pressed her lips in a thin line.

If she had known where he was, hadn't she already asked him to come back sooner. But deep down in her heart, she knew wherever he had gone, his presence was needed. Even more than with her.

She didn't know much where he was, but he did tell her that his sworn brother was seriously injured.

Failed assassination.

Back to Fan Bingbing's question, Zhenyi replied," My husband has gone to a very important conference. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back soon."

Indeed, Long Jie had gone on a very important meeting (vacation in Faye's language).

"Sis, you're missing BIL badly?" Aria asked, but a flicker of certainty present in her eyes already.

"BIL?" Fan Bingbing asked.

"Brother in Law." The reply came from Zhenyi. Who knew better than her about Aria's fetish for nicknames?

"Could you be in love with your husband?" The ever blabbering Aria uttered out followed by a very dramatic gasp.

"Oh, my dear Lord!" Aria again. Sigh.

.

Zhenyi looked at her as if she was an idiot." Just what do you know about love?"

"Well...more than you, Sis. I mean, I have been in love before, remember?" Aria said, arching her brow.

"Oh really?" Zhenyi crossed her arms over her chest and looked at her intently. " In love with that dumbhead who couldn't even stand for his woman? Or the man who questioned your years-long love?"

Aria pursed her lips and bowed her head in embarrassment as she didn't have words to refute because she knew that Zhenyi was right. She still questioned her feelings for her ex-boyfriend. Was she really in love with him? Or was she really in love with someone else?

"Sis!" Aria said looking up at her in a sulking voice. "I am talking about you and BIL. Tell me, are you so in love with him that you can't survive these few days without him?"

Aria, who was gazing at her with curious eyes, received a light hit on her head.

"Ouch!" Aria exclaimed, rubbing her head.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"And you!" Zhenyi pointed her finger at Fang Bingbing. "Why aren't you at the office?"

Fan Bingbing shrugged her shoulders. "It's the weekend if you forget. Moreover, my boss has given me unlimited holidays."

"Who the hell said that?" Zhenyi reacted immediately.

"My new boss."

Zhenyi pressed her lips in a thin line as she realized the meaning behind Fan Bingbing's words.

"Where is Cao Feng?" questioned Zhenyi.

"He had been dealing with all the mess Du Zheng had created for us in the past few months. Du Cooperation had suffered a huge blow after your accident, and the one behind the scenes was no one else but your husband," Fan Bingbing informed her.

Zhenyi nodded. She didn't know. She had no idea about the happenings outside the Xin Mansion.

"Who is taking Alexander's job?" She questioned after a long time.

"You knew?" Fan Bingbing's eyes widened in shock. historical

Zhenyi scoffed. "What do you think I am? Huh? I have not seen or heard of him in a while. I can guess what had transpired."

Of course, Zhenyi knew from day one. What she didn't know was that the man she considered a loyal ally was actually an ally of people who wanted to end her. To say Alexander's betrayal didn't sadden her would be true. She had long accepted the fact that the people she believed were loyal to her wouldn't always be loyal.

Humans are fickle creatures and so is their loyalty.

Ever heard ' some people are not loyal to you...they are loyal to the need of you...when their need changes...so do their loyalty'.

And that's what happened in Alexander's case!

"Cao Feng is taking Alexander's jobs until he promotes someone else. It seems that he is taking time to look for the correct person to appoint for the job."

Alexander was the head of Zhenyi's security team. His betrayal influenced the whole organization. If their boss could be attacked in broad daylight then what about them?

Zhenyi nodded but didn't say anything about it anymore. She would see this matter later on. Now time to focus on her dear husband.

As if he could hear her calling him in her heart, her phone rang, and his name pooped on the screen, delighting Zhenyi.

She gave a warning look to Aria and Fan Bingbing and retired to her room.

"Hey!" Zhenyi spoke in a low voice.

"I miss you," was the reply she received, much to soothe an ache in her heart.

"Then, come home soon," Zhenyi said sweetly.

She heard him sigh. "I wish I could."

"How is your brother, Jie?" Zhenyi found herself asking him the question.

"He will be fine." Zhenyi heard him say. She could also hear his hopeful voice.

"And how are you?"

"I guess...I will be fine too," answered Long Jie honestly.

"I am sorry, Love, I couldn't call you sooner. It was just that I was engaged in one thing after another."

"It's okay as long as you don't forget you have a wife waiting at home for you and if you dare to forget me--"

Long Jie chuckled," And here I was thinking, where did my aggressive wife get lost?"

"Shut up!"

"Whatever you say, wifey!"

None of them spoke for the next few minutes, then, Zhenyi decided to break the silence.

"When are you coming home?"

"Why? Are you missing me?" Long Jie decided to tease her for a moment but was left stunned by her blunt reply.

"Of course, I do. Do you even have any idea how many times I have looked at the phone waiting for my husband to call his only wife?"

Lord. Why did he forget that his wife was a piece of work? Her bluntness was not a surprise to her.

"When are you returning, Jie?" She asked again.

"Cat eyes, I am really sorry to disappoint you but I really can't come soon. It may take me a little more time here. I have my brother's only treasure with me right now. I must protect it until he comes to take it. Are you getting what I am trying to tell you?"

"Take your time. I won't tell you to come back soon," said Zhenyi. She paused and then added in a warning tone. "But you must promise to call me every day."

"I promise that I will call my only wife every day first thing in the morning."

Zhenyi knew that Long Jie was teasing her by using her words.

None of them spoke for a long time...

"How was your day?" Zhenyi inquired.

"Tiring," Long Jie said with a sigh. His gaze fell on Faye who was napping on Long Jie's lap and gave out a smile. "But it will be better now."

At the exact moment, Faye opened her eyes and stared at Long Jie's smiling face which reminded her of her father's gentle face. Her spirit dampened.

Noticing a sudden change in Faye's demeanor, Long Jie said to Zhenyi. "Gotta go, Cat eyes. I will call you soon and take care of yourself. Miss you, Wife!"

Before Zhenyi could reply, he hung up the call.

'Get yourself together, Zhenyi! You are on your own."
