"Zhou Yu … left Xiao?" Da Qiao hiss after hearing her sister laughing. This was truly heart breaking, deep inside her this is what she wanted, but after hearing and seeing her young beloved sister like this, she blame herself. This was the result of her selfish feelings. Dropping the basket of apples on the hard wooden floor, she turns around and ran to find Zhou Yu and confront him about this matter.
Da Qiao checked his office, the library, Xiao Qiao's room, the dining hall and the winery but she didn't find him. She felt the guilt eating her slowly, almost giving up she asked the guard in the front gates. The guard space out for a moment, thinking "Oh, yes Lord Zhou Yu left" the guard happily said as he remember "H-he left? … Already" she repeated. Sighing in disbelief, she can't believe this; Zhou Yu truly left Xiao Qiao.
While Da Qiao was in state of shock, drawn in her thoughts, Xing showed up. "Excuse me, I have a message to deliver" announcing her purpose clearly, the guard nod and she stepped inside, walking pass by Da Qiao.
Xiao Qiao fixed in her mind that everyone had betrayed her, no one believe in her abilities or knowledge. She stood up and looks around, realizing she is in Zhou Yu's room. It was the same as usual, books, scrolls and papers, but it was clean and the light was dim. She ties her hair into a pony, noticing that there is a dress prepared for her. Hesitating, will she use it or not? Turning to the mirror she wears Zhou Yu's robe, it was too huge for her, yet it felt comfortable she thought. A smile almost escaped her lips but the thought of Zhou Yu betrayed her, that smile disappeared.
Striping from the robe she slide in the dress. After all the stress and depression she got into, her delicate face have matured a bit, her height and body structure as well. Xiao Qiao has become a beautiful young lady. Staring at the mirror, she notice that her face have changed, not so sure how will she react.
She snap in reality realizing that someone was in the door "Lady Xiao" a young girl's voice was calling her. Walking to the door, Xiao was surprised seeing Xing at the door "Xing?" she sighs. The young girl bowed "I am sorry to disturb you" Xiao open the door wide "No you didn't, I thought you already left, I'm surprise to see your still here" Xing showed a letter "I did left, I am here just to deliver this letter" Xiao's eyes narrowed, 'I knew it' she thought.
"SUN CE!" Da Qiao yelled opening the door violently "Da!" Sun Ce stood up quickly, she knew he was in a meeting but she ignored all the subordinates and officers, not caring if they were staring at her, she was already showing baby bumps. "Come here, I need to talk to you right now!" Da Qiao ordered stamping the wooden floor "But honey I am in the middle of something, please wait a moment" Sun Ce answered shaking "Like I care if you're in the meeting!" she was getting furious "Come in here this instant!" pointing at her side.
Sun Ce let out a deep sighs as he slowly walk towards Da Qiao, his subordinates were following him by eye, all of them were shocked and terrified at Da Qiao, what a tough wife she can be. When he was close to her she immediately grab his free ear and twist it, like a teacher punishing a naughty boy "Quickly!" she said as he grab him out of the room. Sun Ce whimpers on the way out. "That was so humiliating Da" Sun Ce was caressing his ear "I don't care!" Da Qiao shouted.
"What the hell happened why you so worked up?"
"I can't find Zhou Yu"
"Zhou Yu? Why you want to see him?"
Da Qiao's mood change, from angry to concern "It's for Xiao" she hiss
Sun Ce remain quite as he remember something
"I know before Zhou Yu disappeared, he talked to you"
"Yeah he did"
"Where is he now?" clapping her hands and beg "If you only hear Xiao now, you can't believe it"
"I … Zhou Yu was asking a leave" Sun Ce said in a worried tone, even him don't want this to happened but what he can do
"A leave?"
"He said this maybe a perfect solution for her, he thinks that Xiao has lost herself because of this rumors … and he said something on fixing his past … I don't get it as well but come to think about it … maybe his right"
Da Qiao didn't said anything, she remain silent
"Da?" noticing that his wife is about to cry he held her into a hug, Da cried on his chest. "E-excuse me milord, milady" a young girl was bowing in front of the door.
The letter was the same as the letter addressed to Zhou Yu, with the smell of irish, Xiao was staring at it "Who is it from?" questioning "From my lady Shin Shui" Xing answered 'Shin Shui' she mentally. Hesitating to take the letter, she examines the little girl puzzled, will she take it or not? Why Shin did not tell her that she has a maid? So she is quite rich or influential? She repeated this in her mind, thinking hardly. This was new, at everything she does; this was the first time she thinks before doing something.
"Lady Xiao Qiao?" Xing called, Xiao took the letter and opened in front of her, reading it by eye. Xing felt something terrible was going to happened, this feeling was eating her up when she left the apartment to here, she knew something is up but does not have the courage to speak up, but she is questioning everything.
Shin is watching the busy streets on her little balcony, while sipping tea. She grins as she thought of her plans were going smoothly as she planned. The door behind her opened silently, a man stepped in. Shin notice his presence but did not show, she can feel that he was walking towards her, at the right moment she turn around, her prediction was correct, Zhou Yu was standing in front of her. She smile as she welcome him with a hug.
Zhou Yu felt disgusted, he never imagine that this day would come, that they will meet again. He didn't return the hug but stood still, letting her have her fun. "Oh my love, you have return to me" Shin said as she buried her face into his masculine chest "Let's cut to the chase Shin" he held up Shin's chin, facing him "Before I left Lujiang, you know I saw you" Shin's smile was slowly vanishing "That place you were staying was very famous indeed" her brow were knitting, she was frowning, seeing her reaction he grins.
"What you want to say, spit it out now" Shin hiss, she never thought this will happened. Zhou Yu chuckle "Oh you were famous as well, I heard many man where calling for you" Shin reached her limit, shoving his hand away from her "Shut up!" clenching her teeth "Oh why, were just getting started" he forcibly pulled her into a hug "Can you demonstrate to me why many man were calling for you" he whispered "SHUT UP!" she yelled as she push him.
Shin Shui's dignity was insulted. Yes Zhou Yu was right when she ran away from their wedding she stayed in a prostitute house. She has no money or someone to cline too. She stayed there to gain influence and money, for her to do her revenge.
"Why are you mad? I am just stating the facts" Zhou Yu said teasing. This is for all the hurt and pain you let me felt, for all the failed hopes and lastly for Xiao, he stated in his mind.
"Don't hurt her!" a young boy screamed, opening the door wide as he run to Shin, wrapping his tiny arms around her waist. Shin was shocked, Zhou Yu as well. Ryu turn around, pointing a finger to Zhou Yu "You have you right to hurt her!" Zhou Yu was staring at the boy; he looks exactly like him when he was a child, a true Zhou prodigy. "I-it can't be" he sighs.
Zhou Yu kneel in front of him, placing his hands on the boy's tiny shoulders, Ryu stare at him puzzled "W-what's your name?" Zhou Yu asked "Ryu, Zhou Ryu" he answered clearly. Cupping the boy's face "B-but it's impossible" he sighs.
Shin place her hands on top of Zhou Yu's "Ryu, this is your father, Zhou Yu" Ryu looks up to her and then to Zhou Yu "Papa?" immediately he hugged him, wrapping his arms around his neck. Zhou Yu on the other hand still could not believe it.
"Papa?" Xiao repeated, she was standing in the door, Xing was behind her. Zhou Yu and Shin turn their attention to her "Lady Xiao" Shin squeal "Xiao" Zhou Yu stood up, Xiao chuckles "Oh what a beautiful family reunion" tears were starting to fall from her eyes "Xiao" Zhou Yu sighs "Thank you for the letter, Shin, I'll take my leave" she remove the wedding ring on her finger and then offered it to Zhou Yu "You might gave this to someone who deserve it" her hand was shaking "Oh Lady Xiao" Xing sighs.
"Xiao Qiao, let me explain-" Xiao interrupted him by taking his hand, placing the ring on his palm "I understand everything, there is no need to explain" she smile at him while crying "Bye" with that she ran. "Xiao!" Zhou Yu was about to follow her but he stop hearing Shin was laughing.
"What a fool!" she grab Ryu's collar placing a knife on the child's neck "Shin what are you doing?" Zhou Yu yelled as the boy started crying. "Young master!" Xing called.
