Wan Jia went home a short while after eating. Lin Lihua quickly followed her mother home. She knew her mother very well- she was the type of person to supress her true feelings and act like nothing ever really hurt her.
Right now, Lin Lihua knew that she was dfinitely feeling emotional. She bought some of the desserts that her mother liked and went home.
"Mom, are you there?" she called.
Xia Rou came out of her room looking a little pale. She had already changed out of her disguise and turned back to the usual Xia Rou. Her eyes, which should have been bright from seeing Wan Jia, were dim and sad instead.
Lin Lihua's heart broke seeing her like that. She went over and hugged her. "Oh mom, don't be too sad, Little Wan will definitely understand you."
"She's so lovely." Xia Rou said in tears. Only she knew just how much she wished to have pulled Wan Jia into her arms. Especially when she blinked at her so innocently, she gave a one in the world type of sentiment.
Lin Lihua thought that she was sad because she was scared that Wan Jia would blame her and hate her, but she knew that it was not the case.
The way her daughter opened and closed her big bright eyes and the way she frowned and raised her eyebrow slightly in curiosity, she really reminded her of someone.

When she left Lin Lihua's house, Wan Jia went straight to Lu Enterprise.
There was a highly secure private entrance to the company, hence no one ever saw her enter the building.
She took Lu Aotian's elevator to his office.
"Aotian!" she whined like a spoilt little girl as soon as she arrived.
"What happened, were you bullied?" he asked.
She wanted to talk about Lin Lihua's mother, who made her have complicated feelings but she stopped herself. Her man had said that he was looking into it. Wouldn't it look like she was rushing him if she talked about that?
"I want to go on a date." she said and threw herself onto him. Disregarding his work, he sat her carefully on his lap and asked her where she wanted to go.
He had almost forgotten, ever since they went for their first date, they had never really gone on another date.
Then, he called Lu Shaoting to stand in for him and carried Wan Jia out of the office.
The tortured little brother was at Elite Fashion World when he recieved the call and rushed over, only to witness such a cruel display of affection. Brother! Just you wait! When I get a wife, I'll torture you to death.
...
In the evening, Lu Aotian took Wan Jia to Golden Stars. Their sea food was second to none, and despite the high prices, the food was delicious and worth eating.
"What do you want to eat? I'll order for you." Lu Aotian asked when they were presented with the menu.
"Order anything, I'll use the bathroom first." she said and stood up, giving him the liberty. She could only do so because he knew everything she liked.
The girl pulled the stray hair from her hair and walked gracefully in her high heeled shoes.
She had given her all in dressing up this evening. Her red dress was a little revealing, yet it still made her look like an innocent beauty.
Lu Aotian gazed at her back with desire written all over his face. She was his, he could look at her as much as he wanted.
Wan Jia did not expect to meet a certain person here. In fact, that person deliberately or otherwise ran into her and almost toppled her, then held her shoulder to steady her.
"Vice President Guo?"
"I did not expect to meet you here, beauty. I'm sorry for knocking into you. Allow me to treat you to a meal as a form of apology." the man rambled a series of sentences.
"It was an accident and I'm alright. You don't need to treat me." she turned the offer down politely.
Let a man treat her to a meal? She could only ever give Lu Aotian that honor.
However, Guo Haisheng blocked her way insisted. "Beauty, you don't need to be too polite. I was planning to have a meal anyway, you can just join me."
"..."
Who wants to have a meal with you?
And who on earth is 'beauty'?
This man had no principles!
The man seemed to think of a possibility. "Is it because great beauty Wan is with her boyfriend?"
She felt irritated and snarled. "It's great that you know I'm with my man. Also, he's my fiancé, not my boyfriend." Wan Jia seemed to be very particular about the two terms.
Guo Haisheng smiled awkwardly as if he had expected this. "That's not a problem beauty, you can just go out with me another time, or come together with your patner. It's an apology after all." he insisted.
Wan Jia glared daggers at him. This man was getting onto her nerves! She really needed to use the bathroom! Couldn't he see?
Well, he saw her slight discomfort and knew that she needed to go, that was why he kept blocking her way and insisting that she have a meal with him.
"I don't want to have a meal with you! Move out of my way, and stop calling me 'beauty', it disgusts me! Next time call me by my name or Mrs. Lu!"
