Ch. 81..85: Callous Boss and Awkward Wife Chapter 81-85

Chapter 81: Backfire

Proofread by Peter Gong

Embarrassment only exists a moment for it has been more than 20 years since Wang Feng married Yu Jie and it is easy for her to detect the unusual sign. She recovers soon and disguises her nervousness with a blank face. However, her little tricks are nothing or even can be described as ridiculous in the eyes of Ko Chen and Duan Qingfeng.

Having no mood to deal with her, Ko Chen stares at her and points at the door, "Yu Yu killed herself." His sight sticks to Wang Feng when he says the words, wanting to know how she will act. Hearing the news as if for the first time, Wang Feng keeps widening her eyes and mouth for several seconds before she gives out a heartbreaking roar, then she steps forward to grab Ko Chen's collar. "What did you do to her?" Wang Feng's eyes are bloodshot.

On the contrary, Ko Chen has always been indifferent even if Wang Feng is so heart-broken. He just tilts his eyes down, observing Wang Feng without any expression. Maybe Ko Chen's reaction is not in her expectation, Wang Feng releases her hand and steps back before Ko Chen opens his mouth. But soon, she takes on a ferocious expression, just like a shrew with her hands crossing her wait, yelling at Ko Chen, "Ko Chen, if you don't give me a solution, I won't let you go! " Ko Chen looks at Wang Feng who is like a clown whose words are like a big joke, and his cold smile is fleeting. Ko Chen stares at Wang Feng, sending out a kind of irresistible oppression just like an Asura from hell. "When I was going to divorce Yu Fei, why weren't you so aggressive?" The flame of Wang Feng goes out, and her shoulders lower and she dare not look at Ko Chen, and stammers, "you two cannot go on, it's no use saying so much..." Her voice is getting smaller and smaller and completely vanishes at last. She lowers her head and doesn't know what she is thinking about.

Wang Feng's words remind him of Yu Fei's experience as a child. His anger rises gradually, and his breathing becomes thick and heavy. Duan Qingfeng has been looking on coldly. Although he doesn't know much about Wang Feng, he gets a general idea from Ko Chen. The filthy things the mother and daughter did are shocking. Especially Wang Feng, who always pretends to be a nice stepmother to outsiders, is really vicious. However, what matters now is Ko Chen's condition instead of Wang Feng and Yu Yu.

The faint sign of anger has appears which accelerates his breath, and that makes Duan Qingfeng worry about his condition and he hurriedly mediates the dispute. Standing between Ko Chen and Wang Feng, Duan Qingfeng pulls the distance between them a little further. Then he advises Ko Chen, "you are family. How can you talk to your mother-in-law like this?" Having listened to his comfort, Wang Feng feels a little better and whispers, "Qingfeng is more sensible." Her voice is not so slight that it falls clearly in the ears of Ko Chen and Duan Qingfeng. Thinking of Wang Feng's fantasy about Duan Qingfeng before, Ko Chen's mouth quivers. Just having a look, Duan Qingfeng perceives what is Ko Chen thinking about and pats him heavily when Wang Feng does not notice him. After that, he immediately turns to look at Wang Feng whose obsessed sight makes his feel sick. But he has to bear it, even puts on a smile, and says gently to Wang Feng, "aunt, Ko Chen is young. Don't be angry with him."

The word "aunt" is deliberately stressed. Hearing the call, Wang Feng is upset at once, however, she can't show it but bears it with her face becoming as colorful as a palette, which is really ridiculous. It is hard not to laugh, but Duan Qingfeng still pretends to be ignorant of nothing and continues without hesitation, "don't blame Ko Chen, aunt. I've been with him these days and we really don't know why your daughter suddenly falls into despair."

The buoyant sentences directly highlights the seniority. Wang Feng used to presume on her beauty and refused to admit her age. Today, what Duan Qingfeng said breaks her illusion. Wang Feng is about to say something while the nurse runs out of the room and says in a hurry, "Miss Yu is awake" Wang Feng swallows the words she is going to say, rushes into the room and stands by the bed. She grabs Yu Yu's hand, scolding her anxiously, "Yu, how can you be so stupid? How can I live if you die?"

What Ko Chen and Duan Qingfeng witness when they enter the room is Wang Feng lying on the edge of the bed and crying. Her words, which really seem to be sad, are heard by them. Yu Yu lies on the bed and turns her head to look at Wang Feng. Hearing the movement at the door, she immediately looks at Ko Chen, with a face without blood, which makes her less arrogant and domineering. On seeing Ko Chen, her eyes turn red, and tears keep flashing, which makes her more pitiful.

If it is someone else, Ko Chen may feel pathetic, but the one is Yu Yu, and there is only a hateful feeling left. "Chen..." Yu Yu opens his mouth with difficulty and utters a syllable hoarsely, which sounds like a rusty sword grinding, causing eardrum pain. The indifferent attitude of Ko Chen who stands at the door without any response grieves her. Yu Yu is reluctant to take back her sight with tears rolling in her redder eyes and tears finally flow down, wetting the pillow. Wang Feng stands with her back to them, and quietly thumbs up to Yu Yu, which signals that she has performed well. Yu Yu's sight briefly lingers on her gesture for a second, without any expression. Since Yu Yu has been saved, Ko Chen doesn't want to waste any more time on her. He calls Uncle Zhang over and tells him, "look for someone to guard her. Just make sure she is alive."

Uncle Zhang understands that what Ko Chen said demonstrates it clearly that he won't take care of Yu Yu any more. Ko Chen has been disgusted with her, plus the suicide this time, he feels more bored about her. If it is not for Yu Fei, he doesn't want to waste a second with her.

Chapter 82: The Plan failed

Proofread by Peter Gong

Yu Yu almost moves herself when she pretends crying. She is expecting Ko Chen to comfort her.

In her imagination, when Ko Chen knows her suicidal attempt and sees her waking up, he would have come to her, holding her tightly in his arms and caring her: "Stupid sweetheart, I just found out you meant everything to me when I almost lost you. Promise me, you will never ever leave me again."

But what happened is quite contrary to her imagination.

Ko Chen doesn't speak a word to her from the beginning to the end. Even worse, he doesn't even take a look at her. She seems to be the air to him. He has never been so cold before. Her calculated plan doesn't work at all.

Yu Yu is nor reconciled to the failure. She sits up with a struggle, letting alone her weak body after waking up.

Wang Feng catches her action. She understands her purpose immediately. Mother knows daughter the best.

"Yu, you just woke up, what are you doing?" Wang Feng says dramatically. She turns her upper body a little bit and looks backward. It's obvious that she wants others to hear her.

Duan Tsingfeng hears her. He turns his head, takes a look at the two and sneers.

Ko Chen still has no reaction.

Uncle Zhang walks into the room. He lowers his head and says reverently:

"Miss Yu, if you don't feel very well, just tell me. Mr. Ko is busy with business. He can't stay here and be with you."

Even the fool knows this is just an excuse. Yu Yu still looks pale. She bites her lower lip. She bites too hard that her lip is broken and blood flows. It looks startling.

Wang Feng feels unhappy and waves her hand to Uncle Zhang, trying to get him out of here: "Now that Mr. Ko doesn't have time, there's no need for you to come. Anyway, no one cares about if we two are still alive!" Uncle Zhang smiles awkwardly. He bows and leaves, without retorting.

"You!" Wang Feng is so angry that she stands up, points at the door and almost yells out oaths.

She doesn't expect that Uncle Zhang closes the door when he leaves. Now there are just two of them in the room.

Her oaths are stuck in her throat. She feels uncomfortable not to say them out.

Yu Yu's temper is as bad as her mom's. She can't bear with it. Her weak body reclines back to the bed, making a "bang" sound.

The sound scares Wang Feng. She turns back immediately and checks her daughter.

Seeing Yu Yu's pale look, Wang Feng feels bad and angry. Her raises her eyebrows and wants to speak a few times. But she doesn't speak anything. She just bends over to help her daughter to lie well and tucks her in.

Yu Yu's eyes became red earlier before. She looks at her mom with tears in her eyes and says with a scratchy throat: "Mom, what should I do?"

Planning your weekend reading? Ensure you're on 000005s.org for uninterrupted enjoyment. The next chapter is just a click away, exclusively available on our site. Happy reading!

Hearing the question, Wang Feng doesn't answer. She looks still at her daughter for a while and then she says: "Don't worry. Mom knows the best. I will definitely come up with an idea and gets you to marry him. You will have a fabulous wedding!"

Yu Yu hears her mom and wants to ask other questions. But her mom's expression is very malicious. So, she takes back her questions and tears as well, and nods her head.

Wang Feng sits down beside her bed and pats her gently. She says in a low voice: "I thought we could get him by putting on a play. But it didn't work and even has some counter-effect. It seems that he can be cowed by force but not be persuaded by reason. We need to use force."

"How?" Yu Yu asks hastily. She is so eager to know that she accidentally pulls her upper body. The pain of gastric lavage doesn't go away. She gnashes her teeth with pain.

"Just count on me. You need to take care of yourself first." Looking at Yu Yu's pale face, Wang Feng feels her heart breaks. "You are so stupid. I told you just to have a few pills. But you had too many! If people didn't discover that in time, you would be in great danger!"

Yu Yu feels aggrieved. She blinks twice, pouts her lips and hems and haws:

"Dr. Duan Tsing Fong is very professional. I was afraid that he would tell I was pretending if I just had a few pills."

"That makes sense..." Wang Feng says and then shakes her head, "We were imprudent this time. We must make a detailed plan next time."

The two continue to discuss. The signal of a bug under the bed blinks. Their conversation is heard by Ko Chen and Duan Tsingfeng clearly.

"Yu Yu is so stupid." Duan Tsingfeng raises his eyebrows and sneers. He walks to the wine rack and gets himself half glass of wine. He swirls the glass and says: "Only they two can come up with such cheap tactics. They watch too many dramas. Pretend to commit suicide..."

He sips the wine. He tastes the sweetness with his tongue. Then he feels the bitterness spreading all over. He squints and exhales, feeling comfortable.

Ko Chen doesn't care about what Duan Tsingfeng has said. His attention is on the glass. He looks at the wine bottle on the table. As expected, Duan Tsingfeng takes his favorite wine again.

Duan Tsingfeng knows what Ko Chen is thinking about, although he doesn't speak. Duan Tsingfeng speaks first: "We are bros. Mr. Ko, CEO of Ko Company, is reluctant to let me have his wine? People will laugh if they know this." Unable to out-debate, Ko Chen glimpses him with his fierce eyes. Duan Tsingfeng's facial expression doesn't change. He still smiles. And his smile is even bigger, which annoys Ko Chen.

Duan Tsingfeng speaks before Ko Chen asks Uncle Zhang to send him off: "Don't talk about them. How will you deal with Tan Lin?"

Duan Tsingfeng stops behaving in a noisy and boisterous manner. He looks at Ko Chen seriously.

Thinking about Tan Lin, Ko Chen feels a harder headache. Her level is way higher than Yu Yu and her mother. Yu Yu takes the pills to commit suicide. Unlike her, Tan Lin will try all the methods to let Yu Fei take the sleeping pills. Ko Chen's eyes darken when he thinks about this.

"I can't let her be hostile to Fei. If I have to, I'll put on a play."

Duan Tsingfeng wants to talk about the issue seriously. But he is amused by Ko Chen's solemn statement. He jokes: "Why are you speaking so tragically. People will think you want to sacrifice yourself if they don't know the truth." "Tan Lin is much harder to deal with than a so called 'enemy'. "Ko Chen sighs and puts his hand on her forehand. It seems that he has no idea what to do.

When the two are talking, someone knocks the door of the study. Uncle Zhang opens the door and comes in. A person follows him.

Duan Tsingfeng gives a look at Ko Chen. He seems to sneer at him and tell him: "Look, talk of the devil and he is sure to appear."

Chapter 83: A Play

Proofread by Peter Gong

Before Tan Lin opens her mouth, Duan Qingfeng finds some reasons to leave voluntarily, "I haven't finished my case study. Enjoy your chatting. I'm leaving now." Uncle Zhang leaves together with Duan Qingfeng. That they leave deliberately is clear to Tan Lin, but she does not take it seriously at all. Glancing at the closed door of the study room, she feels at ease and turns around to Ko Chen who sits behind the table. Ko Chen closes the audio of the bug and opens the work report with his mouse clicked as usual.

Tan Lin walks to him and bends down close to his body. An air of flirtation arises with her hands holding his neck, and her breath near his ear. "Chen." She whispers. Her low voice creates his illusion that the woman behind her is not Tan Lin but Yu Fei. Subconsciously he raises his hands to cover the back of Tan Lin's. She feels his palm a little rough. His positive response delights her, so she moves her mouth closer with a flirting tone, "You must be tired of work. What about a relaxation?" With it, she moves her hands downwards, touching his Adam's apple, his chest and belly, and then straightly his penis. However, Ko Chen is awakened by her motions for he knows that his Fei is never dominant in such an aspect. Immediately he stops the woman's wandering hands. With his throat cleared, his eyes are clear again. "What are you coming for?" The failure of her flirtation distresses Tan Lin, who bites her lip in a sulk. She withdraws her hands and retraces her steps to the front of the table. She looks poor, "Won't you come to see me if I don't come? Am I nothing to you?"

Of course Ko Chen won't admit it and fixes his eyes on Tan Lin's eyes. His thought is hidden in his darkened eyes. Tan Lin looks back with no fear. They look at each other in this way, but no spark arises between them. The first one to surrender is Ko Chen who blinks his eyes and raises his hands, sighing, "It's my mistake. I apologize to you." His apology is out of her expectation and surprises her so much that her eyes widen, "You apologize to me?"

Since Ko Chen is etermined to eliminate Tan Lin's hostility toward Yu Fei, the best way is to let her believe that he likes Tan Lin. So he continues his play. He stands up from the chair and walks to Tan Lin, lowering his head to look at her as if she were Yu Fei, thus he becomes tender. Never has Tan Lin been seen by Ko Chen like this and immediately she is drowned in his tenderness.

Seeing this, Ko Chen knows that he nearly makes it, and there is only one last thing to do. He reaches out his strong arms to hold her into his arms. But a strange smell from her makes him feel disgusted. He slightly frowns and manages to suppress his discomfort. There are never such strong smells from Yu Fei. She has her own sweet fragrance, which intoxicates Ko Chen every time he is near to her. On thinking of Yu Fei, Ko Chen is immediately lost in his memories. Waiting for his further action for a long while, Tan Lin raises her head and sees his eyes without focus and she delivers her question which brings him back to reality, "What are you thinking of?" Her tone is sweet like a little girl. Ko Chen responds with a smile and skips the question, "Do you want to work in Ko Company since you are back?"

Unexpectedly, Tan Lin is frozen by the question, but after a second, a big smile emerges on her face, "Absolutely not! It's a waste of my experience abroad." In front of Ko Chen, she is totally a little girl rather than a successful business woman. But such Tan Lin makes him feel complicated especially after he has known that Lin Xiu Company is hers.

But he pretends to know nothing about all kinds of agreements Lin Xiu Company has signed with every big company except for Ko Company. He roughly knows Tan Lin's target, that is, forcing him back to his family by flopping Ko Company together with other companies by taking advantage of this economic crash. Thinking of his family, he turns gloomy. Since the moment he has been determined to leave his family, there is no possibility for him to return, never. Not getting his answer, Tan Lin raises her head to look at Ko Chen, but only to find his gloomy face, which stuns her as this is her first time to see such an expression of him. Just at this time Ko Chen lowers his head and changes his face. It switches so quickly that she feels that it was just her illusion. "Since you have your own plan, forget about my words. How about dinner together tonight?" Ko Chen asks his cook to make a full table of dishes that are all Tan Lin's favorites. Tan Lin has been invited to have dinner in Ko House twice, which shows her importance to Ko Chen, so the servants start to make their guess although they don't know who she is. Wang Feng passes the garden when she is out, and hears the chat between a gardener and a cook. At first it doesn't attract her attention, but when she hears "Miss Tan", she immediately slows down her pace and listens carefully.

"Isn't it? Mr. Ko made the order himself. And every meal was from his order. Even Mrs. Ko wasn't treated like this before." "It is said that Mr. Ko will divorce his wife. I thought that the woman in the guest room would be his wife. But now it turns out to be another one..." Before the cook finishes her words, the gardener sees Wang Feng behind them and pokes her hurriedly, eyeing her to stop. They smile at her with embarrassment. They enter the room in a hurry, fearing she will ask them in detail.

Seeing the fleeing figures of the two, and thinking of their chat and Ko Chen's attitude towards Yu Yu recently, she immediately figures out what happened. Now that she has no mood to have fun, Wang Feng instantly goes back. Before walking to the door, she sees Ko Chen and another woman stepping out. She hides behind the plants beside her at once.

Both of them don't see her and walk away, talking happily. Wang Feng keeps peeping until they get on the car. The car drives away slowly, but Wang Feng's eyes are still fixed on it. After a long time she mumbles, "This is the reason..."

Chapter 84: Jealousy Burns

Proofread by Peter Gong Wang Feng rushes into Yu Yu's room. Yu Yu is about to fall asleep, dizzy and sleepy. When hearing some noise, she opens her eyes difficultly, "Mom? Why are you here?" She finally recovers a little with a ruddy complexion, but still, she is very haggard with chapped lips. Seeing this, Wang Feng pours some water for her, "Slowly, be careful of choking." After drinking some water to moisten her throat, Yu Yu's lips become a little ruddy and her voice doesn't sound as hoarse as before. Wang Feng sits down and looks at Yu Yu with sympathy. Thinking of what she has just seen and heard outdoor, suddenly she is full of anger and flaps her leg, but this doesn't relieve her. She gnashes her teeth and curses in a low voice: "This bastard Ko Chen. How evil and cruel! ."

Her voice is low, but Yu Yu still sensitively catches the words "Ko Chen". She looks at her mom doubtfully and asks, "Mom, you just said what?" Wang Feng's anger is instantly extinguished. Although she intended to tell her something about Ko Chen and that strange woman, but now seeing Yu Yu's situation, she suddenly doesn't know how to tell her. She hesitates in speaking. But a woman's intuition concerning emotional matters is always accurate. Yu Yu stares at Wang Feng, asking calmly without thinking, "Ko Chen has someone else, right?" Wang Feng doesn't expect Yu Yu guesses correctly, and she can't cover it up anymore, so she nods in agreement.

After her idea is confirmed, Yu Yu's eyes suddenly turn frosty and her pale face reveals a bit fierceness, "No wonder his attitude to me has changed recently, I thought it was because Yu Fei played tricks again. I didn't expect there was someone else." They look at each other, speechless. The room is quiet with no sound, the sunlight shines in through the window secretly, and golden warm light sprinkles on the floor. Through the beam, one can see dust flying in air vaguely. Yu Yu slowly sits up, taking up her phone besides the pillow. The screen mirrors her bloodless face. She is stunned for several seconds, and suddenly bursts out laughing, which frightens Wang Feng. Wang Feng looks at Yu Yu who seems a little crazy, failing to stretch her hand. In the end she just sits still and asks carefully, "Yu, are you OK?"

Yu Yu's laughter stops instantly, and she turns her head to look at Wang Feng with her cruel eyes, which scares Wang Fong. "Mom," Yu Yu's malicious voice breaks the quiet abruptly, "To find out who the woman is. I won't let her off easily!" Although this is also Wang Feng's initial intention, when hearing these words from Yu Yu, somehow she feels creepy. Wang Feng can't help but stare at Yu Yu. She tries to say something, but at the end she give up refuting her and acquiesces. After Wang Feng leaves, Yu Yu keeps the same gesture for a long time, just staring out of the window with no focus, like a sculpture. Since she can take Ko Chen from Yu Fei, other women are definitely not hard to deal with. Yu Yu swears in heart, and she will never give up such a high-quality man like Ko Chen easily!

In the shopping mall, Tan Lin, who was just cursed by Yu Yu a thousand times, now holds Ko Chen's arm with a smile, enjoying the leisure that belongs to them only. Passing by a men's clothes shop, Tan Lin pulls Ko Chen and they walk in on a whim. The shop assistant immediately comes to welcome their presence for it's not hard to know they are from upper class by what they wear. Tan Lin holds Ko Chen and they go to the area of new style. She takes two shirts to match his body, imagining the appearance when he wears the shirts. Gray looks gentle while black looks formal and elegant. These two clothes show completely different temperaments.

"These two," Tan Lin points to the shirts in her hand, "find a suitable size for him." The shop assistant immediately takes over suits and flatters, "Miss, You have a good taste. These are new style of spring. Each suit with a different size has only one to sell." Tan Lin waves her hand nonchalantly as Ko Chen's clothes are all hand-made from Italy, that is the real limited. He doesn't appreciate these non custom-made clothes. Although she is clear about that, she still lets the shop assistant take clothes for Ko Chen to try on. What really matters is not clothes, but Ko Chen's attitude. Neglecting the identity of the president and the family behind him, Tan Lin just expects that they can be an ordinary couple now. From the start, Ko Chen has no expression. No matter what Tan Lin said, he neither agreed nor refused, just taking the clothes into the fitting room. After changing clothes, he comes out and stands in front of Tan Lin. Tan Lin looks up and down. He has broad shoulders and a lean but strong waist, which makes up a typical inverted triangle figure. In addition to his charming handsome face, he best reflects the advantages of the clothes. "Pack them up." Tan Lin snaps and makes her decision. Ko Chen changes his clothes, habitually takes out his Black Card, and the total number of which is one hundred globally.

The shop assistant glimpse it and feels astonished, so she secretly glances at Ko Chen several times. Then she recognizes CEO Ko, who often appears on TV and in magazines. No wonder when he entered the shop, she felt a little familiar. Tan Lin folds her arms around her chest with an ironical smile. She doesn't look at the Black Card, not to mention taking it. Ko Chen raises his eyebrows and waves the card, "What's wrong? Why not take it?" His voice is deep and attractive, and the shop assistant next to him blushes for his magnetic voice, and glimpses him unconsciously. Unexpectedly, she has an eye contact with Tan Lin and withdraws her eyesight in panic.

Of course, Tan Lin ignores these small potato like the shop assistant. She loosens her arm and takes that Black Card, just holding it for two seconds, and then puts it back into his shirt pocket. "These are gifts. How can I use your money?" She says it without much intimacy as usual as if she takes it for granted. Ko Chen remains silent. The shop assistant gives the packed clothes to Ko Chen, who suddenly shows a little warm smile, saying to Tan Lin, "Well, if you insist. Thank Miss Tan for your gift." Without expecting that Ko Chen has such a funny personalty, Tan Lin is amused and laughs instantly.

Just clothes, whether Ko Chen or Tan Lin will not take them seriously. Tan Lin's real intention is to test his attitude, and Ko Chen is also willing to play this act with her. As long as he can protect Yu Fei, he can do anything. Ko Chen looks down at the paper bag in his hand with contemplation.

Chapter 85: Visiting Downstairs

Ko Chen takes Tan Lin back to the hotel after dinner and they stand at the door of the presidential suite. Looking inside, he asks lightly without any emotion, "you just live here?" Tan Lin nods, "I was in a hurry to come back and I haven't prepared anything yet, just make do with this hotel." "I have several other houses. I'll ask the Secretary to send the pictures of these houses to you later. If you like any of them, I'll send it as a gift to you." His tone is as relaxed as usual, which sounds like he is buying vegetables.

Tan Lin doesn't refuse and suddenly steps forward and looks up at Ko Chen. The bright amorous eyes are filled with attractive light. She takes a breath lightly and asks ambiguously, "don't you invite me to live in your home?" Ko Chen looks back as Tan with no expression. After a silent confrontation for a long time, Tan Lin loses the battle first, sighs softly and murmurs, "It's all right if you don't agree."

Tan Lin thought he would agree with her request since she has said like that. But she didn't expect that Ko Chen seems to have failed to hear her words: "It is late. Have a rest earlier." Then he turns around and leaves. Tan Lin hurriedly hugs his strong waist, and she even purposely squeezes her two soft breasts on Ko 's back, making Ko feel a great difference.

"Won't you stay tonight?" Her voice sounds low for the reason that she relies on the back, but Ko Chen still hears her words clearly. Looking down at her clasping hands in front of his chest, Ko Chen does not hesitate to break them off and walks forward two steps, widening the distance between him and Tan Lin. Tan Lin still stands with the former outstretched posture, and her face is covered with a hurt expression. Ko Chen totally ignores that, and just repeats the words again: "have a rest earlier."

With that, he immediately turns, and strides towards the elevator. The corridor is covered with a thick carpet which kills the sound. Tan Lin doesn't take back her hand until she watches the elevator door close. She stomps heavily, and the expression on her face which looked like a wounded sheep changes immediately into a fierce wolf with sharp eyes. The door is slammed when she enters the room.

Coming out of the hotel, Ko Chen looks up at the moon. The sky is full of stars that remind him of Yu Fei, who used to like watching stars in the yard. Thinking of Yu Fei, he suddenly realizes that he has not seen her for several days. The driver is ordered to go home first. Ko Chen drives to Yu Fei's home and he specially selects a dense tree to park under for it should not be seen clearly from the height of Yu Fei's home even if the car stops here.

He stalls the car, and lights a cigarette. He has not smoked for a long time since knowing his illness, but now downstairs where Yu Fei lives, he begins to miss the taste of nicotine. Taking a deep breath, Ko Chen narrows his eyes and spits out a smoke ring. The smell of nicotine goes through the lungs to the brain, which wakes up both his spirit and longing for Yu Fei. Yu Fei should not have slept because the light in the room is still on. Ko Chen checks the time and it's almost ten o'clock.

There is a voice in his head shouting: go up, see what she is doing now, and tell her how much you miss her. This voice has been reverberating in his mind. Ko Chen's hand has even been placed on the door and he will get off the car next second. However, the opposing voice rings in his brain at the right time and refutes: no! If you go up and tell her this now, all the previous efforts will be in vain! The fingers are frozen, and the cigarette in his right hand burns more than half. He keeps his left hand on the door handle for a long time, but doesn't move. Until the cigarette in his right hand burns to his finger, he suddenly feels shocked and quickly withdraws his left hand as if getting an electric shock. No, he can't hesitate. The disease will kill him and he must not let Yu Fei know it. He raises his head painfully and fixes eyes on the window, as if by doing so, his sight can penetrate into it and he can see the woman he misses. Yu Fei leans on the sofa, watching TV. It's late, but she's not sleepy today. She gets up and makes a cup of steaming milk. She carefully holds it and drinks it like a kitten.

After a few sips, she sees the TV program is replaced by an advertisement which can not arouse her interest. So she gets up with a milk cup and goes to the balcony, taking a deep breath of fresh air of the night, and begins to enjoy the night scene. For several days, the night sky is full of stars of different sizes, which twinkle like talking eyes. Yu Fei leans on the balcony, and occasionally a breeze blows by. In addition, the beautiful scenery makes her very comfortable, and the corners of her mouth rise unconsciously. Ko Chen doesn't expect Yu Fei comes out and his eyes are glued to her. Although they are more than ten floors apart, he seems to be able to see any slight change on Yu Fei's face. After all, her appearance has been deeply engraved in his mind.

The greedy eyes sweep over every part of her body. The woman looks up all the time, so he could only see her chin line vaguely from his angle. Even though she is so far away, Ko Chen can feel that she gets thinner again. Ko Chen can't help but feel sad that Yu Fei must not have had a good meal and rest without him. Yu Fei stares at the starry sky, and suddenly a strange feeling comes over her as if a bunch of eyesight has fixed on her.

She looks down unconsciously, and through the thick leaves she discovers a black car parked downstairs. Why a car stops here? She has never seen that before. Yu Fei feels strange, looks forward and stops at the license plate number. From such a long distance, she can't see it clearly, but somehow, she thinks the license plate is familiar. Yu Fei begins to get nervous, and a bold idea pops out. Her eyes sweep back and forth on the car downstairs, but much of the car is blocked by leaves, so she could not see it clearly. However, the strange feeling doesn't disappear. Yu Fei feels inexplicably that someone is looking at her from the car downstairs.
