Shanghai

"Tell me again the reason that I have to come along for the celebrations . I don't even know these guys," Tang frowned .

Mei Zhen adopted her patent supercilious tone, "but I know them . It's their fifth anniversary and all my close friends will be there . Won't it look weird that I turn up solo there? There is hardly anything overlapping in our daily lives anyways . I never complain . In return, how tough is it for you to accommodate this two-night trip for me to Hainan Island?"

He contemplated another argument, then thought better of it . With a weary sigh, he started packing his suitcase .

"I may fly down to Beijing for a couple of days post this weekend," he said off-handed .

It had been almost a year that he had seen his friends . For some reason, both Li Jie and Chung had been guarded in their conversations with him . Also, Jia Li should have been back from her overseas work assignment by now . Though he was loathed to admit it, he wanted to see her once for himself . He hoped that her relation with her husband hadn't been affected by his marriage . There had been no occasion in the past months for him to travel to Beijing but now he didn't want to wait for one .

"This is a fantastic property . Le and I have thought about taking a trip here in the past but the five hour journey always deterred us with Hua being so young . Today it was a breeze since Li Jie and Zhu Kong played the dutiful uncles as they are supposed to and kept him entertained all through the flight," Chung grinned .

Wei said dramatically, "it was tough to find bookings at the last minute since Madam Jia Li took so long to say yes to the trip . It's been such hard work, I am exhausted . "

Li Jie's partner, Kong chipped in, "tell us birthday girl, what is our itinerary for the next two days . We are at your command . "

"The plan making and execution department belongs to Wang Wei . My nephew and I have decided that we are going to wake up, swim, eat, sleep and repeat the process . So please count him and me out of any sight-seeing and partying plans," she was referring to Hua, Chung's son, who was happily playing in her arms .

"Well, that makes me the happiest person in the group . Let me know when you tire of him . Till then I am going shopping," Le, Chung's wife, laughed .

Later that evening

Li Jie and Chung had ventured outside the resort with their partners in tow . They had just returned to the sight of Wei ambushing Jia Li and Hua with water guns in the swimming pool .

Their squeals could be heard from a distance .

"I like the way he keeps trying to make her laugh all the time," Kong addressed the three of them .

"I agree with you . I had my apprehensions about him early on but till date he hasn't given me any reason to believe that he is not the right person for her," concurred Le .

With a shake of his head, Li Jie countered, "it has never been about the other men in Jia Li's lives . Fu wasn't a bad person either . The problem is her emotional vacuum when it comes to any man except Tang . I sincerely hope that Wei is able to breach the wall that she has constructed inside her . It is high time she gets a happily ever after story of her own . "

It was nearly dinner time when Jia Li and Wei dragged a reluctant Hua out of the pool .

"I feel old…how much energy can such a small being possess? We have been in and out of the pool for three hours . I can't even feel my legs and this little prince is still fighting to go back in," Wei wailed .

Jia Li's laugh gave him a pause . In the fading daylight, her dripping auburn hair and gorgeous eyes made her look ethereal . Dressed in a sea green one piece swimsuit, she looked nothing less than an alluring mermaid with the sun setting at her back . He shook his head trying to control the urge to take her in his arms . He hoisted a now tired Hua on his shoulder and started walking back towards the rooms .

"My guns…you left my guns at the pool," Hua wailed as he was being carried by a panting Wei .

Jia Li gave a soothing smile to him and told Wei to carry on and she would retrieve the toys and meet him upstairs .

Dropping her towel, she dived into the pool to search for the toys . After a solid search of five minutes, she resurfaced with a triumphant shout . And stopped dead in her tracks .

"What are you doing here?" they spoke in unison .
