An infectious laughter was heard all throughout the Japanese garden inside the Qin mansion that afternoon.

"Look at Misha Uncle Rong! She looks tired already!"

"She is indeed tired!" Qin Rong replied after he examined the feline.

"Let her rest first. I think Misha is having a hard time because of her thick coat and long hair." He added.

Europa then turned her gaze to the panting cat. She rubbed its head and sighed.

"Was it tiring? I am sorry. You can have a rest first."

"Meow..."

As soon as they have decided to take a rest from playing, Butler Quan came forward bringing refreshments for them.

"It is important to stay hydrated, especially when playing outdoors."

The kind butler said as he placed the tray he was carrying on the table inside the pagoda style gazebo. He then walked toward them and picked up Misha. Using a damp cloth, Butler Quan gently petted the cat. Curious, Europa started to carefully observe what the butler was doing to her Misha.

"Do you want to give it a try?" Noticing her watchful gaze, Butler Quan asked.

The little girl's eyes shone brightly as she nodded her head repeatedly.

"I want to try!" Europa's voice was full of excitement.

After hearing her answer, Butler Quan instructed one of the maids to bring another damp cloth for Europa to use. Few minutes had passed, the maid went back carrying a small damp cloth which she handed down to the little girl.

"Thank you!" Europa said as her small hands received the piece of cloth. She then started to stroke Misha with the damp cloth as well.

"Does it feel good, Misha? Do you feel refreshed?" Europa was talking to Misha, checking the cat's reaction.

"Meowww..."

Seeing the cat was no longer panting, Europa smiled and continued wiping its body with the damp cloth.

Ring...

Ring...

Ring...

Zhang Chenric angrily grabbed his phone to check who was calling him. Though he was half awake, he did not fail to notice that the call was from an unregistered number. Before deciding to pick up the call, he glanced at the time.

F*ck! It was just 3:19 am!

Zhang Chenric's face darkened. Whoever this person might be, he better had a valid reason for disturbing his slumber.

As soon as he answered the call, he heard a familiar female voice. But instead of getting excited, he felt strongly irritated.

"Chen..." The person from the other line called out his name in a very seductive tone.

Zhang Chenric's irritation grew exponentially. He was expecting an alarmed or a worried tone of voice. But what did he get? An irritating female voice.

"Who are you?" Zhang Chenric replied harshly. Though the phone voice seemed familiar he didn't want to bother his brain cells from remembering who the owner was. He was supposed to be sleeping, right?


"Chen... It's me Lingli..." The person from the other line made her voice sounded extra sweet.

Zhang Chenric furrowed his brows, Lingli? As in Liu Lingli? He then recalled what Lee Qingya had told him the other day. The woman on the other end of the line was interested in making him her escort for the masquerade ball. Was she calling now to persuade him? He must turn her down right away!

"Are you calling about the event? Listen well. I am a very busy person and I have no time for petty things such as that masquerade ball. I suggest that you pick a random guy from your protection agency and ask him to accompany you instead." Zhang Chenric didn't give Liu Lingli a chance to talk back as he abruptly ended the call.

He then heaved a sigh of relief.No more mister nice guy to any woman. He learned his lesson the hard way didn't he? Thanks to his frequent drinking sessions with his assistant he was able to understand one of his fatal mistakes in the past.

'Women are such jealous creatures. That is why a gentleman should never allow his woman to feel as if she was competing for his attention.'

Now that he was wide awake, Zhang Chenric decided to lit up a cigarette. As he blew a smoke to the air, he started to immerse himself to his thoughts.

In three days time, he will be back in Beijing alone and leave his father behind in S Land. This was all for the best for only his father can explain why the incident occurred that night and why he had to remove the fire tragedy report from the records. Thus, he needed to recover his memories.

Zhang Chenric puffed the cigarette stick once more, inhaling much nicotine into his system.

This time, he was thinking about the upcoming masquerade ball. He suddenly felt anxious. The reason why he turned down his beloved's meeting invitation was that he didn't have enough courage to face her and also due to the fact that she was already married to that Wang Yuvin.

How can he face her? Didn't he accuse her of killing his father? He even refused to communicate with her. He rejected her calls and ignored her messages. And when the time came that he was ready to listen, she had disappeared without a trace.

Still, his apology was long overdue. He must see her the soonest or he would really die of heartbreak. He must face her wrath and bear the consequences of his stupid actions. He was starting to become sentimental when he felt an intense stinging pain coming from his leg. He bent down to check only to found a line of ants on the carpet. His eyes then traced where the ants were coming from.

"Ah, I forgot about the vanilla apple tart."

Zhang Chenric lazily stood up and called the front desk to ask for their room makeup service.

Before the attendant arrived, he donned a pair of jogging pants and a shirt. When he was done tying the lace of his sneakers, he grabbed his hoodie sweatshirt and went out the room.
