Chapter 1

At the city airport,

The morning atmosphere of the airport was lively as many people were waiting for their family and loved one's holding bouquets of lovely flowers and some of was carrying boards engraved with the 'welcome home', 'miss you dear' this kind of warm message on the charts with the bright smile enlightened on their faces and waiting for the plane to land. So the passengers come out of the flight able to meet with the person whom they want.

In that crowded group of people, there was also a woman standing between them. Wearing an adorable pink top with a pair of blue jeans and casual shoes and was positioned at the gates of the waiting area with the lovely panda backpack on her shoulder and with another funny pinky little bunny hanging on one side of the backpack. 

She was slim and gorgeous with a fair body tone. stood there placing a phone near to her right ear and small strands of hair came to her eyes, making that girl's beautiful face look more pleasing to the eyes to bystanders. As she was talking to someone on her phone.

She was slim and gorgeous with a fair body tone. She stood placing a phone near to her right ear and small strands of hair came to her eyes, making that girl's beautiful face look more pleasing to the eyes of bystanders. As she was talking to someone on her phone.

"Dude! this is really frustrating to wait for more than a second for me, now.." complain a woman, called Li Rui in annoyance over the call. As her grip on the phone tightened while she shook her head with the bored expression.

It seems she is tired, waiting for someone at the airport.

"Li Rui! What time did you go there?" inquires a woman from the other side of the call. Her voice seemed hazy as she just woke up.

On the other side of the call was Li Rui's friend, Song Nuan, whom she was complaining about early in the morning.

"I have been here since 8 am, in the morning," answered Li Rui, yawning over the call. Her eyes look drowsy. Like she had not gotten enough sleep last night and had to awake early. 

"Ruiii….! Are you mad? Have you gone crazy? You went there two hours ago from landing time, why did you go that early?," the voice exclaimed, appearing from the other side of the call, as she was surprised, hearing that Li Rui went to Airport, two hours early than the time.

Is she crazy? How could she have gone there that early? What did she take for herself? A worrying and caring person?

"I can't wait at home. So, I came early, but look what happened here with me now, the airport security announced that the flight might take off later." Li Rui told, as her face seemed to fade in sadness. When she informed about this to Song Nuan.

" Rui!, go back home. She will come. How long are you planning to wait there?" Song Nuan suggests, knowing the delay in the time of landing.

"No, I will wait here for a little more time. Must be plane takeoff," Li Rui was reluctant to go from here without bringing the person with her.

"Rui! Are you really crazy about her return?" came an annoying sound from the other line. Song Nuan did not want Li Rui to wait for that person. Despite knowing the person Li Rui was waiting for, was important to her.

Then how could she go back without that person?

That's impossible..!

That person must be lucky to have Li Rui on their side.

"Why won't I? She is returning to China after a long time, completing her education." Li Rui replied to Song Nuan's question with glistening eyes and with a brighter smile. When she spoke about her. And all the laziness and dullness in her voice can't be seen there as they went away in a blink of a second. Which she felt before, because of waiting for the flight.

"It looks like you are too excited". Song Nuan said, this time not trying to persuade Li Rui to leave the airport. When she knew, Li Rui would be deaf ears.

Then why waste her energy? 

"Hmm... I am, after all, my sister is coming back home," declared Li Rui with excitement and her eyes shining with the sweet and innocent smile on her face.

She heard another announcement in the airport and told Song Nuan to hang up the call.

"Nuannuan!..bye!... I'll talk to you later. It looks like the plane is about to land and she will appear at any time." Li Rui looked at the side of the terminal, which was reached to the gate, where she was, and hearing the message, she cut the Song Nuan's call.

Li Rui, a woman, came to pick up her younger sister, Li Mengying. who was arriving back to her home from New York, after five long years. Li Rui, who was excited to meet her younger sister, Li Mengying. She came to the airport before.., as she was impatient.

Li Rui looked at the terminal side with a smile, gripping a rose in her hand, and listened to the announcement carefully of the plane landing on China's ground.

"She must have grown tall and beautiful, into a fine lady after a long five years," Li Rui thought in her mind.

She was excited and nervous at the same time, too.

As she was eager to see her younger sister and how she wished, she broke the rule and went inside to pick up and hugged her younger sister. But she could not do this.

How impatient she was, but she can't break the law.

But wait!... all her dreams scattered in a moment when she saw him appearing out of the terminal.

Whom she had seen?

A villain in her life? Or the hero of her life? 

The Devil….

How could she encounter a devil disguise in clothes…?

*****************

Li Rui and the waiting group of people were positioned at the other side of the barricades when they noticed a group of people coming from the terminal side.

Several bodyguards surrounded a handsome and tall man wearing a blue business suit, with the white shirt inside it, and the black goggles with the luxury Rolex watch in right hand holding the phone.

The handsome man walked, making the people look at him, maybe the male and female, as he gathered everyone's attention on him. It is quite impossible if no one catches a glimpse of a rich and handsome man like him and it is hard for girls to take their eyes away from him.

Some of that handsome man's bodyguards came running with the security of the airport, as they cleared all the surrounding space side by side to all the people standing nearby, who were waiting for their family members and loved ones, with lots of hopes and smiles.

But now, their faces lost that smile as not a single passenger came out, only this handsome man was getting out from the terminal direction with his man's.

A group of men with the security, block the others and Li Rui was in between those people.

"Seemed like a rich man." A middle man said.

"Hmm, that's what it looks like," another middle-aged woman said to the man standing beside her. They look like a couple.

"Ohhhh my god! Ohhh! Myyyy god! He is so handsome," a woman exclaimed while keeping her hand on her cheery red cheeks and her eyelids were blinking unstopping when she blushed to see the handsome man, called Qin Shi Yan.

"But why have they blocked our path?" asked an old-aged lady to her grandson, who was with her.

"Grandma! It looks like some VIP person is coming," replied a young man to his old grandmother, to clear her doubt as to why their route was blocked.

"And what about my father, why didn't he come till now? I have been waiting for him here for a long time," a small child clutched his mother's hand asked in his childish tone with teary eyes.

The child looked like he would start crying at this moment, not seeing his father.

"Kiddo! Father will come soon, let's wait for him for a while," his mother squatted to her son's level and tried to coax him.

It might be awkward for her, if the child would start crying.

Li Rui, who was hearing all the surrounding people, was consoling each other. She closed her eyes tightly and clenched her fist and shook her head. 'No..no.. just mind your business, ' she mumbled in her mind, taking her eyes away from Qin Shi Yan's handsome profile. However, she could not stop herself from going to Qin Shiyan.
