"We need to meet. Let me know the date of your return." Chen Rui's tone lacked any emotional attachments. Anyone who would have heard her at that moment would have thought that she was talking to her archenemy and not her friend with whom she has shared half of her life.
"Seems like finally you have decided to let go of the past, Rui. Great! I will be returning next week. Let's meet then." Yun Yuchun spoke from the other end and without hearing any reply, the next she heard the beep of disconnection.
Pulling the phone away, Yun Yuchun gave a small smile before looking at her secretary at the front, "It's time for me to take a break. Book me a flight back to Chiboa." She ordered and the next moment, the secretary nodded before leaving the place.
Once he was gone, Yun Yuchun stood up and walked to the window from where half of the European city was visible. Standing there she let the cold air brush her skin. She has been alone almost all her life but has never been alone like she has been since last one month. Even meeting her children after so many years didn't help. She was still left alone. Maybe this was all she deserved.
"Now only the last thing is left. I must bring the two together this time. I can't let them suffer the consequences for the things we plotted." She said under the breath before letting a deep sigh out.

On the other side, the next morning happened more quickly than before. As usual Li Xue was up early for her routine. Completing her yoga session, she went to get fresh. There was a lot of going in her head but yoga did help her calm her emotions and mind.
When she came out from the washroom, she was all ready to begin the day. Just as she was ready to step out for breakfast, her phone rang on the desk and she came back to have a check. Finding it ringing with the name of Lin Xinyi, she picked up to answer.
"Hello, good morning, Sister Xinyi! I would come to the company after having my breakfast. I was just …"
"It's okay, Li Xue. You don't have to come here. I called you to tell you this itself." Lin Xinyi said and Li Xue's brows tugged together slightly.
"I thought I had to go there, Sister Xinyi."
"Yes, we thought it like that before. But then it would be a waste of time to call you here and get you ready. Instead of that, we would send the outfit and stylist to you. You can get ready there and wait until we arrive to pick you up. That would be better." Lin Xinyi explained.
Li Xue hummed. "Fine then. I shall wait for the stylist." She said and then exchanged a few more words before disconnected the call.
The product launch was there. Once it gets over, her involvement with LS Cosmetics would also take a break. And that would relieve her from one stress. The continuous persuasion of Bai Yichen has made her exhausted all the time. After all, rejecting someone's persistence also consumes one's energy.
Giving out a deep breath of relief, Li Xue was ready to walk to the dining space when suddenlyShin You Jun's voice interrupted her. "Do you need some help? "
Li Xue raised her brows and turned to look at him. "Help? What services have you started now, little brother?"
Tucking his hands inside his pants' pockets, Shin You Jun walked to her and said, "No special service. I just thought that it would only be right if a younger brother helps his elder sister. So, tell me, should I help you."
"What do you mean?" Li Xue couldn't understand him. But she can tell there was something that he was upto.
Shin You Jun pursed his lips and then shook his head. "Really, Sister? Are you really that innocent? I mean do you not see what's coming up for you for today's evening?"
"What is it, You Jun? Tell me straight. I don't have the patience and the ability to read your mind."
Shin You Jun pouted and then giving out a grumbling breath, he said, "You are really dumb. Sister, do you really think that today's launch party would mark an end to the things with the CEO of LS Cosmetics. That man is pursuing you desperately. It won't end as simply as you think. So, I am asking you if you say, I can help you out."
Li Xue stared at him for a moment. Then internally shaking her head, she asked, "If he is going to pursue me, how are you going to help me? Are you going to become my boyfriend?"
"If you ask, I can." He said and the next moment, Li Xue stomped on his feet. "Ah! What are you doing?"
"Can't you measure things before sprouting them out? You want to become my boyfriend then what would happen to your future, your girlfriend?" Li Xue chided and the boy simply shrugged out.
"I don't have any now. And I might not get one anytime soon. So, it's okay."
Li Xue pressed her lips in a thin line. "Do you think everyone is like you? You might not have one but I have. So, be a bit thoughtful before saying such things. Now, let's go and have breakfast first. I don't have a whole day."
She said and then turned to walk back to the dining room but pausing in the middle of the way, she turned to ask, "By the way, what were you saying? What could he do today?" She waited to hear him say while looking at him over her shoulders.
Shin You Jun felt disappointed at her earlier tone but when saw her asking him, he replied in a low grumble. "What less could he do? He could make sure to use his last opportunity with you. After all, not only you he also knows that after today your involvement will end with him."
