Feng Mian's apartment

Yu Yan showered after work and got ready to go.

She thought about giving Li Jun a call but figured she would forgo it this one time. He must be preparing for his flight anyways and must have lots of work to do, she convinced herself.

Unknownst to her, her security personals had been thrown into chaos.

Li Jun had left Greg in charged while he himself had taken another security commander. They had to incorporate a new security plan post-haste since they were informed about the lady boss's plans only a few minutes back.

Yu Yan came down the stairs wearing casual pants with sneakers and a red cashmere sweater- a black overcoat slung over her arm, her sleek hair swept to a side . She saw Greg and called immediately.

"Brother Greg, can you please ask someone to tell uncle Kao that I have gone out and won't be back for dinner?" Yu Yan was running late and she didn't have the time to search for uncle Kao. Shi Chongkun and Murong Jian were out anyways and would not be home for dinner.

Greg had been waiting for her to talk to her.

" Yu Yan, I think you should wait for sir's approval before we set off" Greg was now used to speaking comfortably with Yu Yan when the boss was not around. Even though the conversation was in English and in Mandarin.

"Why?" She asked in mandarin.She needed to know why. She needed to know why an approval was required for a grown woman to go out.

She was taking the guards and not even going out of line.

If it was only because she needed permission from her husband...she was going to lose her temper.

Greg was silent. He more or less figured Yu Yan was not pleased.. not exactly a secret with the intense frown she was currently sporting.

He did not know what he could and could not disclose to Yu Yan.How could he explain anyways?. Li Jun had not said anything specific about it but still it was an unspoken order with the way Li Jun handled his wife. Greg could not speak frankly about the enemies who were actively trying to kill Li Jun and might even be aiming for his wife.

"I still think that we should wait for his plane to touch down" Greg smiled trying to defuse the tension.

Yu Yan lifted her hands in irritation.

"Brother Greg!" Yu Yan said with exasperation. This people just loved keeping her in the dark. " I think I am about to get mad at you" she folded her arms to show her displeasure.

Greg smiled lightly and thought about it for a second, deciding to go with it for now.

"Be sure to save me when your husband comes back" He smirked.

Feng Mian's apartment was way better than Yu Yan had assumed. The apartment was in a wealthy neighbourhood and the building looked expensive. Yu Yan mentally calculated the rent with their monthly salary and the daily expenditures.

'Eh? that doesn't leave much for savings' She mentally chided her friend.

Feng Mian came to open the door wearing a beautiful short -pink evening dress. Her hair put up in an elaborate style. She was even wearing ten inched heels.

Yu Yan looked at her up and down in confusion.

Yu Yan passed the gift basket to Feng Mian robotically and Feng Mian kept it on a table with the rest of the gift baskets.

"Wasn't it only a casual party with only close friends?" Yu Yan gestured to her own simple assemble. She felt under dressed.

Feng Mian pulled her roughly and whispered fast into her ears.Her voice clearly very excited.

"It Is.. i mean it was.But you know, Ren called me out of nowhere and i invited him last minute. OMG I am so excited!! He will be here soon..!!" Feng Mian managed to scream in a whisper, irritating Yu Yan. Yu Yan pulled her body away.

"Ren?" Yu Yan asked puzzled.

"Ren Hao Pan. You know. Your friend" Feng Mian gestured excitedly .

" Why did you invite him? Are you that close?" Yu Yan could not help the accusing tone from seeping in.

Feng Mian didn't notice.Even if she did, she didn't care.

"Just, so and so. After that day at the mall, we somehow exchanged numbers and would sometimes chat. Why ?whats the problem?" Feng Mian took Yu Yan on a house tour passing by many people.

"My... my husband doesn't like him" Yu Yan said hesitatingly. When Feng Mian raised a surprised expression, Yu Yan quicky added... " And don't you remember our company is enemies lately with Fengfu enterprises? what if he is trying to spy on us and is only using us?" Yu Yan said out of breathe.

Feng Mian by now had time to digest Yu Yan's words.

"First of all, you are a married woman, you don't have to talk to Ren.. leave the bachelors for me. And spy? Are you in a movie? if Ren has to use me for spying then the only information i can give him is the price of our paper bundles. tsk. what a crazy woman. And also about our companies fighting, that's how every company is and its not our family's company that we have to fight heart and soul with the competitors.We are just simply employees..." Feng Mian lectured at the stupified Yu Yan.

'But. IT IS.It is my family's business' Yu Yan wanted to answer but ALAS.

"Now come. let me introduce you to some friends before Ren gets here. After he gets here, i don't know you." Feng Mian giggled tucking a curly black hair under her ears. " Oh. i see Wang Wei and Duan Syaoran there" Feng Mian navigated towards the pair in a hurry dragging Yu Yan.

'After all this time, Wang Wei is Wang Wei and Duan Syaoran is Duan Syaoran but Ren Hao Pan from just yesterday is suddenly only Ren?' Yu Yan shook her head and tsk.
