"And so? You had a long dinner date with that wretched s.l.u.t eh?" Yu Rong started questioning Wang Hao as soon as she arrived at the campus. "Two days! Two days I am not here and you go around cheating on me like this?"

    "Master, you are misunderstanding. I had gone to collect information from her, which ultimately failed. But I thought if I go after her when you are not around, it might give better results," Wang Hao fidgeted with his hands. Submissive people with enchanting faces were Yu Rong''s weakness. How could she keep scolding him once he made a puppy face?

    "And so? Did you find out anything?" she asked with interest.

    "Not really. I do know she seems to have big plans regarding us, but she is like an ant anyway, what power does she have?" Now that he had spoken it out loud, he was suddenly questioning his own decision to follow her.

    "Hmph! Yet she was able to enamor so many people including that mysterious Moonlight Bar owner. I should not have given permission to establish that facility. Who knew they would bring board members in between and got an approval, even though I opposed? And then she got your too!" Yu Rong showed fake anger to see her assistant''s reaction.

    "Master, whatever I say you won''t believe because this is something I didn''t discuss with you. But trust me, I''ve been loyal to you for so many years, why would you doubt me now?" he cried incredulously. This placated Yu Rong''s heart a bit. He was her cute little servant after all, who could not do anything without her. For the first time, he had taken a step without her consent. She should have been proud but her heart was pricking somewhere.

    "What are you acting so cute for?" She giggled. "hat wretched s.l.u.t did, guess it was not bad for me since you''re suddenly being this sweet. I had missed this feeling," Yu Rong smiled bashfully. Given how monotonous and ''professional'' he had become, she had almost thought that he had gotten bored of her.

    "Come on. Sit over there. I want to try something new," she pointed to the table in front of them.

    "Try something… new?" Wang Hao asked, puzzled.

    Freedom, this was for freedom. He had already started looking forward to his free days after his conversation with Mei Qingyang. He clenched his teeth and obeyed the orders, not knowing what was to come. This s.e.x fiend was going to get her retribution, he would make sure of that himself.

    ----------

    "Master, she indeed is trying to find Yu island. I have been trying to look into it. Apart from the place being home to Yu Ming, I''m not sure why the place is so mysterious and untraceable on the map."

    "I''m sure that guy paid a lot of money for that to happen. I don''t suspect any breakthrough technologies in use here that it would be invisible to the n.a.k.e.d eyes. But why is everyone after it?" Yu Tian adjusted his glasses and looked more closely. Where was this mysterious property? He was Yu Ming''s son, how could he not leave any hints for his own son?

    "Should we tell this to mistress? Or maybe ask help from young miss Fan? She has Hacker Z with her, he could find something," Yu Bufan tried brainstorming ideas with his master. They needed to get to bottom of this. From his intel, even Minster Jiang was after it.

    "I like how you have switched from Ms. Mei to mistress. Have you really accepted her so?", Yu Tian chuckled, amused by how his assistant had addressed his kitten. Just the thought of her filled his heart with warmth and happiness. The coldness in his eyes subsided. The faint glow from the fire in the fireplace in their room twinkled in his eyes.

    "After that incident? Yes. She cared for you like her own. I have never seen you this calm, especially first two days. I don''t think you''ll find anyone better out there." Yu Bufan was really happy for his master. The struggle of next few days that usually happened didn''t see to exist anymore. How he wished she had been in his master''s life sooner. The fact that he was happily listening to her was also amazing. He did not even need to give much thought to her ideas, she was pretty easily able to convince this paranoid guy. Whate else could he say then?

    The psychological problems of his master also seemed to be subdued in her presence. It also looked like that his master was slowly building mental resilience. Through her conversation itself she seemed to alleviate so many burdens of his master. He was indeed grateful to her. Just that, he sometimes feared how long this happiness would last. What if it was all a farce and everything shattered to nothing? His master would be heartbroken for life!

    "Fine fine, are you still my assistant? Why don''t you just associate with her then?" Yu Tian looked up from the doc.u.ments. When did his assistant started taking side of his kitten? How was she so charming that everyone would just listen to her like this?

    Yu Bufan was surprised. Was his master, jealous? Over him? When was the last time he showed an emotion like this? Probably never. He suddenly dabbed his non existent tears, he felt too blessed.

    "What are these guys up to these days? I have no news from any one of them at all!" Feng Yue was asking his assistant while he was trying to focus on reading the book in his hands. Fan Ruyi was sitting in front of him, eating strawberries. Over the past few days, they had gotten quite close.

    Fan Ruyi had worked day and night to nurse him back to health, which did move his heart a little bit. They both were people with broken hearts, unsuccessful in their loves. But Fan Ruyi still had a chance, did she not? He was not looking for any relationship at the moment, and that''s what he had told her too.

    She had gracefully accepted remaining friends since she knew it was not easy to forget past love. She had told him that she would wait for him. Her dedication was amazing.

    "I myself am not sure. I have not seen Tian myself. Lang is there but he is busy too," Fan Ruyi spoke while taking a small bite from the fruit with her luscious lips. Feng Yue looked at her and then tried concentrating back on his book. Was he… becoming aware of this girl? Why after so many years?

    "Can you blame them? We have not been that great with them that they would share everything as they had done in the past," Fan Ruyi continued.

    "That is true. I miss my days before Mei Qingyang to be honest. But I can''t blame her either. It is just how fate works. She was a knot in my heart that got resolved at least," he sighed.

    "I am sure you can still help her by determining how her accident happened. I mean, there is your family involved in her family going bankrupt, but I doubt they would kill a harmless girl," Fan Ruyi analyzed.

    "My grandma was dead by then, and my parents were pretty neutral about them. So yeah, you are correct," Feng Yue finally threw the book on the table in front of him. He was not able to focus at all.

    Fan Ruyi on the other hand, was just thinking about how to not reveal the truth. She sure did not know what was happening right now but she had a general idea. She had stopped looking into the matter of Yu Tian once Mei Qingyang got involved.

    "I think we should talk to Lang, he might tell us something. It would be great if we could help him out somehow," Feng Yue proposed. Their dorm apartments were adjacent, so they could definitely go and ask.

    "Let''s go then," Fan Ruyi got up as soon as she heard the idea. In the meantime, the bell of Feng Yue''s apartment rang. Assistant Feng opened the door to find Su Lang standing there.

    "Dude! Listen," Su Lang entered the house all hyper but his excitement died down as soon as he saw Fan Ruyi. Oh? This was an odd combination. The other day Qing Qing had come to visit him, then also these two were together.

    "Oh my God, Lang! We were just going to visit you!" Fan Ruyi was already standing, she jumped a bit in delight.

    "Oh! What''s up?" Su Lang answered plainly.

    "Well, it''s been a while since we have seen you guys, so we were thinking what was going on with you three," Feng Yue helped Fan Ruyi who was feeling all awkward because of Su Lang''s tone.

    "Oh well, you are correct, it''s been a while," Su Lang took a seat comfortably., "Let me tell you a story."
