Ethan and Wei had walked out by then, listening to their raised voices and started to pull them both towards the exit .

"Let's not turn this into a public debacle," Ethan murmured in Tang's ear, soothingly .

Nostrils flared, Tang took Mei Zhen by the arm and walked out of the station's gate . A subdued Jia Li also stepped out with Wei and Ethan by her side .

"Tang, why don't you and Mei Zhen head towards the hotel that she is staying in? I am going to help Jia Li pack in the meanwhile . We will coordinate about leaving for Shanghai on the phone," Wei said to him .

Tang nodded at him and went away . Ethan followed suit . Once they were out of earshot, Jia Li turned to face Wei .

"Now that Fu has been caught, I don't have to go to Shanghai anymore, right . Can we please let our lives return to normal now?" Jia Li requested .

The journey from the hospital to the station had fatigued her already . On top of that, Mei Zhen's cruel words were giving her a massive headache .

Wei saw the tiredness circling her eyes and took her hand in his, gently .

"I don't want you to waste your energy here anymore . Let's go home first, hmm?" he told her coaxingly .

Jia Li hesitated reaching the doorsteps of her house . She was bracing herself for what waited inside . Wei took the keys out of his pocket and opened the door, going in first . She followed in reluctantly, only to look around in surprise . The whole place had been cleaned . None of the blood stains or broken furniture was in sight . She looked at him with gratitude and gave him a tremulous smile . Wordlessly, he came towards her and enveloped her in his warmth .

She held herself back for a second before giving in to the support and relief, which his arms offered . Leaning in fully, she sighed and stood there for countless minutes . Wei held his breath . He didn't want this intimate bubble to dissipate . Her body held the smell of the wound's antiseptic, reminding him of the close fatal shave that she had experienced . Normally not a believer in God, he sent up a prayer of gratitude for keeping her safe . He tightened his grip around her for a miniscule second . Dropping a featherlight kiss on her forehead, he released her .

"You need to rest for a while . Why don't you go to the room, shut your eyes and I will cook us some absolute basic brunch, since that's all that I am capable of," he said with a sheepish grin .

She nodded her head wearily and went in to lie down . After debating with himself for a bit, Wei called up his father and brought him up to speed with the happenings since last evening .

"So is everything sorted now? You aren't lying to me about you not getting hurt, correct?" His father asked him again, just to make sure .

He had gotten increasingly concerned listening to his son's words .

"Yes, the perpetrator is in jail . Xie Tang has recovered his memory . I don't even have a scratch on my body . So it's all good now . Dad, uh…that is to say, I was thinking of bringing Jia Li back with me to Shanghai for a bit, just to uh…help her recover from the err…" he was fumbling with his words, trying to sound nonchalant about them .

"She is more than welcome to Shanghai and in YOUR house . I will inform your mother to make the necessary arrangements . Anything else?" Mr . Wang asked with a smile .

Wei's face broke into a happy grin but he replied with studied seriousness, "no that's it . Thanks, dad!"

Putting down the phone, he stole a peek at Jia Li's room and was relieved to see her fast asleep .
Humming under his breath, he rummaged in the now familiar kitchen for a pack of noodles and the necessary utensils . He received a text from Ethan, informing him about leaving the next morning for Shanghai . He had further written that Tang had pulled some connections and was trying to get a permission to meet Fu before that . He instructed Wei to not inform Jia Li about it because Tang didn't want her facing her ex-husband again .

"I won't tell her . But keep me posted, please . I would like to come along to see the guy," he replied to the text .

Jia Li was still sleeping so he kept the now ready food aside and opened his laptop . He wanted to stay on top of things at work because once Jia Li came to Shanghai with him, he would ensure that she spends all her time with him . He had been content to let things move at their own pace but now he wasn't going to waste even a single moment procrastinating . Jia Li was going to be hit by the full force of his charm, wit and love . He wasn't going to let her breathe till she didn't say yes to him .
