"Eminence is ruling over the business world for 8 years already. Not to mention that the CEO of the enormous empire has been unifying all business throughout this period. It has ventured into the medical field, industrial sector and entertainment industry and if I am not wrong, then Eminence will soon be collaborating with the fashion industry," Yu Mei continued in a low voice, "Zixuan is around our age. He is just 23."

Shi Luo sighed, "Despite being 23, you can be the CEO of Rosette, the leading company in fashion industry and the most trusted luxury jewellery brand. While I can be a world famous skin specialist at the age of 23. Then, why can't he be the CEO of Eminence?"

"I am seriously doubting the authenticity of your medical degree," Yu Mei was frustrated. She picked up the wine glass.

Shi Luo slapped her hand, "You are not allowed to drink…atleast not until your medical reports are out."

She bit her bottom lips. She couldn't even drink now. Wow…it's just wow. Anyways…"Your had to crack the medical exam while I had been establishing Rosette since university days and I had my brother's back. You think that Zixuan is the CEO of Eminence. Does that means the grand business empire was established by a teenager? 8 years back, he was just a 15-year old guy."

Shi Luo shook her head, "It was just my intuition. Now that you say it like that, I think you are right."

Yu Mei nodded before taking a bite of her strawberry pastry. She was suddenly reminded of something. "Luoluo."

"Mm? Why are you looking at me like that?" Under her stern gaze, Shi Luo suddenly felt fidgety.

"What did you both talk about in that balcony? What did you say to Zixuan?" Thinking about it, Jun Zixuan alright when he was here. But when she saw him later, there was something wrong with him for sure. Why else would he act so violently?

So, joining the dots, she reached the conclusion that it had something to do with Shi Luo.

"About that…" Without hesitation, Shi Luo narrated the whole incident to her.

Yu Mei looked at her in disbelief, "How could you do that? It is so cruel for you to guilt-trap him with such lies."

Shi Luo shrugged, "What did you expect me to do? Should I have said 'You are asking about Han Mei? She has transmigrated into your wife's body' or something more ear-catching like 'Your university friend is now your wife?"

Yu Mei slapped her shoulder before looking around. Luckily, there was no one around the isolated place they have selected to gossip.

''Keep your voice down, Luoluo."

"Fine…Honestly, this was the only way we won't have to bother about him investigating you in future. If he truly saw you as a friend, he won't try to contact you," Shi Luo sighed, "Back then, he was a mysterious transfer student who came to Crystal University and overnight, the girls were all crazy over him. And right now, I find him more dangerous than before. It's best for us to stay cautious and play safe."

''I trust him," She didn't know how it started but somehow, she didn't feel the need to stay cautious of him.

Shi Luo slapped her forehead.

But before she could say something, her phone went off.

"Mom," She said, answering the call, "Yes…I am here…Hello...Mom... Are you there..? Mom!!"

She quickly stood up from the chair before grabbing her clutch, "Mei, I'll have to leave. I think something happened to her."

Yu Mei frowned as she grabbed Shi Luo's hand, stopping her from leaving, concern apparent in her dark eyes, "Call someone and ask them to check on aunty. Be careful on your way."

"I'll call my assistant and take the first flight," In her panicked state, it didn't come her mind that she should call someone to check on her mother. She looked at Yu Mei gratefully, "Thanks…you don't worry. Take care and don't touch alcohol. I'll leave now."

"What a dumb woman!" Muttered Yu Mei as she looked at her retreating back. Even at a time like this, she had to act like a mother hen.

"I hope Aunty is alright," She sat back on the chair and contemplated on how she should deal with Jun Zixuan now.

According to her memories, the previous owner got Jun Zixuan's contact number from her mother-in-law and pestered the man endlessly. Since he could not bother to argue with his mother, he simply changed his number and it was not shared with his mother for a few months.

Now that Shi Luo blabbered such nonsense in front of him, the man must be feeling guilty for not being able to help Han Mei, his friend at her difficult times. Even if she was at his place, she might have felt the same.

As much as she felt bad for him, at the same time, she was worried their newfound friendship won't last long like this. If he blamed his wife for all this, then all his wrath will now be directed at her.

Yu Mei felt a headache at the thought of it. Things just started to get better recently, will everything between them be back to square one where they could not even bear the sight of each other?

Just as she was thinking about it, she realized…. her abdomen was aching. This familiar pain… No. It was not the weird pain she felt when her face gets transformed.

It was the pain that every girl would be familiar with.

Especially a girl like her who used to suffer almost every month from it. She never had a painless period experience.

Was her periods coming?

She fisted her the cloth of her gown tightly in her hands before standing up from the chair.

The pain intensified the moment she stood up. She gasped softly. 'Mia…Mia…Are you there?' She called out to the fox but there was no response.

This stinky fox will be there to eavesdrop on her gossiping with her friend. But now that she needed her help, she just went on silent mode.

''I… Can you tell me where the washroom is?"
