Yuyu is back!
Yuyu tightened the shoulders of her backpack and wore a cap. Good thing she brought this in spite of the rainy weather from London; here was a total contrast. It was very hot and she just hoped her body would not have a problem with the quick change of temperature.
She followed the crowd as they left the busy airport. As she was walking in the area with lesser people, someone almost pushed her and she needed to catch his clothes to balance herself.
Shock appeared on both of their faces as she steadied herself.
"Where is he?" she asked the person in front of her.
Assistant Xu recovered from his shock and replied properly. "We just got off from the plane and I am about to get our car," he said. He was shocked when the young madam hugged him.
He coughed when he felt that she's taking too long.
Yuyu slowly let go and laughed as she wiped the tears she cannot suppress. "Sorry, Assistant Xu! I just missed you. I missed all of you. That was my embrace for him, please hug him for me. And don't tell him that we've met. I will call you. Please wait for my call." She instructed.
"Young Madam, please don't do this to me. Just talk to my boss so we can all live peacefully." Assistant Xu begged.
Yuyu felt conflicted and sad. Who does not want to be back home to friends and family? She smiled bitterly. "This is for the best. Do not forget. I will find you. Did the door passwords change?" she asked.
"No. All is the same." Assistant Xu replied.
"Okay. I will visit all of you, if he's not in the office." she hushed and left.
Assistant Xu looked at the departing woman. Her previously purple hair has grown and now it looks like the tips of her black hair were lighted purple. If only they'll be back together.
He heard a cough behind him.
Assistant Xu was surprised to see his taller boss and immediately, he hugged him as tight as Yuyu hugged her. This was his mission.
He felt his boss struggled and he let go immediately.
He coughed and looked at the dark face of his boss.
"cough, cough. Boss, that is how much I missed you. Please wait for me and I will ready our car." He turned and ran away from the boss who's already at the murdering stage of anger.
Ming YaoFeng was left standing with a deep thought.
He saw earlier a woman wearing a cap and a backpack. He felt she was familiar but did not care until she turned a corner and he saw the swaying black hair, with purple tips. He felt like his hurt was being gripped and he just cannot vent it out. He always has to take in the pain of missing them and hating her for not telling him.
Had he not tried to be understanding? How can she not trust him? Or she had completely forgotten him?

They went directly to the office and his mood did not go any better.
Why is that woman back? What's her plan? Is she going to make him hope again? Or use him to help their company in crisis?
He scoffed.

The cafe across the office.
Yuyu turned on her laptop and checked if she can access the company's security system. Luckily, her access was still the same. With a triumphant smile, she connected the program she previously prepared in her phone to the Ming Corporation's security system.
She's confident that if the three people who're in charge of security saw her ID, they will not block her and even help her. But she blocked the communication link so that they cannot take too much of her time.
Time is precious today, she may be tempted to chat and play with them later.
Her plan is to search first the house since her husband is still at the office.
She just needed to make sure that she could leave the house before her husband arrived. When all was set, she immediately left the cafe and took a cab to the house where they used to live.

A feeling of melancholy touched her heart when the guard stopped their car. She wound down the window and greeted him. Luckily, he was the same guard who assisted her on her first time here.
"Madam?!" the guard was surprised and delighted.
"You still remember me?!" she smiled.
"I will remember the few who used a taxi!" he beamed jokingly.
"I know! I did not tell my husband I'm back so I can surprise him! So don't ruin it!" she eyed him.
"Alright! You can count on me!" he opened the barrier and allowed them to pass.

Ming Corporation top floor.
YaoFeng eyed the secretaries to check if Yuyu made contact with them. All of them wore the same gloomy faces and the gloomiest of all is Assistant Xu.
He smirked and went to his office. He took an old cell phone and opened the group chat for the secretaries. No message.
'Are you still expecting her to come back?' with that thought, he threw the phone back to his drawer and slammed it.
He very well knew that Assistant Xu embraced him earlier because someone told him so. For all the years they were together, that little Assistant never hugged him. 'that is how much I missed you'
Ming YaoFeng cursed and threw away his cup.
What right does she have to torment him like this?!
He was so angry he cannot work properly.
--
The secretaries looked at one another as they heard crashing sounds from the CEO's office.
Assistant Xu stood up and before he could knock, he heard the boss calling him using the internal line.
"Xu Heng." He immediately opened the door. His full name is exclusive for important matters only. He can only keep silent as he sees the mess.
"Boss," he stood at the side and waited.
"Come over here and report to me. I don't like liars or traitors around me." He eyed him intently.
Assistant Xu immediately came close to his boss, almost crying. He confessed what happened at the airport and the meaning of the embrace.
"So that's how much she missed you she was crying but she was in a rush too as if someone is after her." he exaggerated his story.
He almost lost consciousness when his boss laughed bitterly.
"Get out!" he yelled at the poor assistant who left as fast as lightning.

The Ming house.
Xiao Yuyu was very touched the moment she opened the door. She was not able to see this before but now, she cannot help but be sad and happy at the same time. The carpeted floor was meant for their children. She removed her shoes and moved around the house. There's a few foods in the fridge and snacks on the cupboard. Suddenly, she felt like home and took some milk and ate to fill herself.
She was crying while eating. How she wished she could come back and bring the children here. However, there are more pressing matters. She cleared the table after eating and tossed the trash in the bin.
She went up to her room to look for the journal and notes she made for that half finished formula and was again surprised! He really allowed those installers to make changes in the house! Those two cribs would be perfect for Lune and Soleil once they moved back, but that's only if their father will accept them.
Yuyu immediately closed the door to avoid her emotions overcoming her current focus. She went to the third room as it's the only possible place for her stuff. Dusts have covered the area.
She started working. She set up the program to alarm her of YaoFeng's movement. A message popped up from her extra phone intended only for nana Luo. From time to time, nana Luo sent her photos of the two, making her more determined in what she's doing. 'This is for the children'. She assured herself as she looked over the pile of dusty things.

William woke up with sweat.
He collected himself and went to shower. He was so sure that he never met that woman before but why are there flashes of something in his mind earlier?
He changed into clean clothes and watched over the balcony. As he thought about it, the lady seemed to have personal grudges against him.
"Ding Dong"
His thoughts were distracted as the doorbell rang. He peered down and saw a woman on his door. The folds on his forehead appeared and he went down to open the door.
"Darling! Why didn't you tell me that you moved!" a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes spread her arms to embrace William. Her high heels make noisy sounds on his floor.
William bent down to accept the embrace and cheek to cheek greeting.
"What are you doing here?" he asked coldly.
"What else could I do but visit you! You haven't called me for the past days and when I went to your old house, they said that you moved! Are you avoiding me?" the woman asked.
He was about to close the door when his eyes met another pair of mocking eyes passing by his door. This was the chance he'd been waiting for but his guest has ruined it.
