After done having dinner, she sat on the couch at the living room with her favorite cousin-in-law of course. Her gossip friend, Lee Zhing.
"You must be wondered why my father is acting like that aren't you?" Lee Zhing ask while flipping a magazine lazily.
"Did I scare your dad? Am I that ugly?" Hai Rin frowned a little and look at Lee Zhing's face.
"Heh.. No. He just over reacting. It all start with his first love. My 'supposed to be mother' is someone from a noble family in French. They been together for about a long time. Then suddenly his first love was engaged with other man from her country. Because of my father are 'yellow' skin people, her family oppose their relationship."
Close the magazine she continue again. "After she got marry, three month later she was pass away because of his husband is abusive and sadist. He torture her to death. That things drove my father gone crazy for about a year. He close himself at his room for about half a year. Until the elder decide to marry him with my mother. My mother was his crush from the middle school. So she treat him well even though their marriage at first was basically one sided love."
She sigh. "I was produce with no love from my father. But then, when I born, my mother said he slowly open his heart to love her and me. It take her a long years to wait for her love to be fully bloom."
Hai Rin was shocked by what she hearing. She never ever thought that Lee Zhuan love story was really tragic and sad. No wonder, her aunt-in-law also look very sad.
In the past twenty eight years she married her husband, she tried very hard to make sure Lee Zhuan recover from his sadness and enjoyed his life with her. Now she was the one who ruined her hard work. Hai Rin thought.
"I hope you also will work hard like my mother. To make someone fall in love with you when that person is love another person is a very tough job. It take a lot of courage and passion. I wish you a good luck." Lee Zhing stand up and patted Hai Rin shoulder.
Lee Zhing also need to go to her mother bedroom. She know her mother are currently sad, as a daughter of course she need to calm her mother's heart.
While her father, Lee Zhuan already start to lock himself in his study room. It start from before they had dinner. He only agree to have dinner because of Lee Zhen's word. If not, he surely won't go down to the dining room.
Hai Rin was left alone with Andy still stand behind the couch. She sighing heavily and rub her forehead a little.
She took out her phone and send Richard a message.
'I feel terrible.'
Richard who just wake up in the morning look at his phone. He read the text and knit his brow.
'Why? Did something happen? Where are you now?'
He send the text and stare blankly at his phone.
'I did terrible thing. I am at the mansion now, doing my mission. Since our marriage period has been changed, I decide to launch my mission early. But now I felt really bad.'
He let out a sigh of relieved. He thought something bad had happen to his wife. He think for a moment before he replied her text.
'Just do what you can. Don't force yourself.'
Hai Rin look his text. She put down her phone. Walk to her bedroom, Andy follow her behind. She sat on the couch and turn on the television. Not long after, she call the veterinary center that she put a queued before.
After a few ring, a female voice come through the line.
"Hello Imperial Veterinary Center, how may I help you?"
"Ah yes, I am Hai Rin. Yesterday I book a Norwegian cat breed from your center. Are my cat is ready? I would like to take him tomorrow."
"Oh Miss Hai Rin, let me check for a moment." the female voice said and after silent for a second she continue again.
"Your cat are ready. You may come tomorrow."
"Wonderful. Thank you." she replied happily.
After Hai Rin ended the call, Andy Lu ask her from behind.
"You buy a cat?"
"Mhm." she nodded.
"But, Master Lee Zhuan still in shocked. If you cause any trouble anymore the elder will be mad at you." he said worriedly. He wonder why she suddenly so aggressive to make the elder mad at her.
"Rin.."
"Relax Andy. I don't need my shield right now. What I need is sword." she said slowly but still can be heard by Andy Lu.
She walk passing Andy who was still standing at the center of her bedroom. Noticed that Andy still in daze, she tell him to go and leave her alone.
It's already 1 AM, and Hai Rin still couldn't sleep. She staring the ceiling blankly. Thinking of what Lee Zhing said to her earlier.
She tried to close her eyes, but the figure of Richard keep popping out from her mind. She try to change her position, still the same figure keep lingering around her head.
After some time, she wake up from the bed and go to the dress room. Picking some suit that Richard often to wear she bring to the bed. She wear the suit to cover her body and sleep soundly until the next morning.
She open her eyes slowly as the sunshine start to lit up her face with the rays. She look at her wrist which is cover by the long suit of Richard sleeve.
She sniff the suit on her wrist. The smell of him still mark on the suit. It's been three months since last she saw him. The last memory of him was when she was with him at his secret house.
It was very intimate moment of hers. The lust and pleasure she feel back then nearly drove her crazy. Thinking about it, she start to blush. Remembering when Richard was holding her and kiss her gently made her heart race more.
She shake her head hard before she wake up from the bed. Looked at the hanging clock, her eyes grew wider.
'Oh Shit! It's almost 10.' she hurriedly go wash up her body and get dressed.
She tied up her hair into a ponytail and brush her bang a little before she inform the elder that she will be going out to go to resume her learning class and might be back a little late.
After she got the permission, she bumped into Lee Zhing who also looks like in hurry.
"Going out?" she ask
"Mm yeah. Busy with the preparation." Lee Zhing simply replied.
"Preparation?"
"For your incoming ball night of course. Everything must be in a great condition without any failure."
She was stunned for a moment. 'They all really looking forward for the ball? Does she really important to this family?' she thought herself.
"Aren't you also in hurry? Go now or you will be late later." Lee Zhing knocked Hai Rin's thought.
"Ah right. See you later. Bye!" she wave her hand and run to the car in front of the entrance.
Open the passenger door and step inside the car, they drove out from the mansion to the City.
