Before leaving Vladimir said, "Wu Lina I am here for the next two days only. Is it okay if I come and meet you tomorrow?"

Yang Xinyu wanted to say that Wu Lina won't be available but before he could say that Wu Lina replied, "Of course. I would be glad."

Vladimir gave Yang Xinyu a side glance and got up to take his leave saying, "Thank you child," with a broad smile. Along with Aleksander, he left for the day.

Wu Lina was very excited with her father's visit for the rest of the day. She found him to be a charming man. When she opened the gifts he had given her, she was dumbfounded. There were jewelry sets of diamonds, rubies and sapphire, which were exquisitely crafted. She opened all the sets one by one like a child unwrapping her birthday gifts with delight. She would occasionally wear a set and go and check herself in the mirror and grin at herself.

Yang Xinyu, who was lying on the bed, was watching her becoming jealous by the minute. She didn't even notice him and continued to act like a child. While wearing one of the necklaces, her glance fell on Yang Xinyu. Slowly she turned to look at his sad face. "What happened Xinyu?" she asked stopping midway to lock her necklace.

"I didn't know that you love jewelry so much. I would have bought those for you. You hardly wear any jewelry, so I didn't know…" he said with a sullen expression.

"Even father didn't know," blurted Wu Lina. But as soon as she said that she realized that was wrong to say and she closed her mouth with her hands. "Sorry baby. It came out wrong!"

Yang Xinyu sulked.

"Father had brought all this for me just because we have met so nicely for the first time. Please this is nothing if you don't like it. I will stash it away. Please bay, don't be sad. That's the last thing I want to see on your face," said Wu Lina trying her best to lift his mood.

Yang Xinyu didn't reply. He just turned to the other side and kept his hands on his forehead.

Wu Lina cleared all the mess over there and went over to him. She removed his hands and said, "Let me look at my Xini's handsome face." She pinched his cheeks and kissed him. "My jealous Xini!" Then she tickled him and the mood became lighter. Yang Xinyu chuckled and grabbed her. Pinning her lightly on the mattress, he lifted her chin with his hands and kissed her on her luscious lips. Then he brushed his fingers over them and said, "Tell me what you want and I will buy it for you. I would like you to return these gifts back to Vladimir."

Wu Lina blinked her eyes and said, "That would be rude Xinyu. I don't want to wear any of that. But father would feel bad if I just returned them."

"No he won't. Please return them. I am not comfortable…"

Wu Lina sighed and said, "Okay…" she wasn't happy…

Next day Vladimir came again during lunchtime and this time he brought limited editions of purses and watches for his daughter.

When Wu Lina saw that he had brought more gifts for her, she became uneasy. On one hand she had to decline them and return the previous day's gifts and on the other, her father was splurging on her. It was as if he wanted to spend all the money he couldn't spend on her in her lifetime, in those two days.

Looking at his excitement Wu Lina didn't have the heart to decline his gifts. She waited for the right time to convey it to him politely. Yang Xinyu retreated into his sullen mood once again.

Yang Xinyu was again present around her. For Vladimir, Yang Xinyu was becoming an obstacle in his plans. But he waited patiently for an opportunity. However, he noticed a new development. An athletic young boy in his early twenties was now seen hovering around them.

Wu Lina opened up to her father in all this time. She loved his company, his bubbly nature and she didn't know that she was falling for his charm. She wondered how her high school friends would have reacted to her father. He would have been the coolest father ever. She giggled at her thoughts while looking at her father, much to Yang Xinyu's amazement.

Aleksander remained aloof as ever. He was only watching the daughter and father duo from afar keeping his thoughts to himself. Often his gaze would fall on the young boy who seemed to hover around Yang Xinyu. He heard that his name was Zhao Hai xiang.

Not able to hide his curiosity about him, Aleksander asked Yang Xinyu, "Who is this young boy?"

Yang Xinyu's eyes narrowed, "That's my secretary. He is here with the office work since I am spending my time with my wife and her father."

Aleksander became quiet. Wu Lina and Vladimir also looked at him. While Wu Lina gave him an angry glare, Vladimir just coughed and asked for water.

After having lunch they left.

In the evening Wu Lina chided Yang Xinyu, "Why did you speak like that in front of father? He is going tomorrow. Can you not tolerate him for a day only?"

Yang Xinyu rolled his eyes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Wu Lina followed him. "Yang Xinyu, this is not correct. You cannot disrespect my father."

Yang Xinyu kept listening and then when Wu Lina didn't stop fighting he said, "Okay, tomorrow both of you can stay with each other. I will go to the office!"

"Fine!" said Wu Lina and went out angrily. She had to change in a nightdress. While changing she realized that she needed a new wardrobe.

Yang Xinyu came out of the shower and headed for the bed. They didn't talk to each other but when they slept, their bodies just curled around each other.

In the morning she told Yang Xinyu that she wanted to go to the mall to buy new sets of clothes for her.

"Why do you have to go Lina? All the clothes will be delivered right at the house," said Yang Xinyu irritated by her.
