Mei Zhen's voice trailed at his expression but she didn't remove her hand from where it lay .

Impatiently, Tang took her hand and placed it back in her lap .

"I will be extremely busy in the coming few days . Work related travel may happen more frequently as well," he told her in a patient voice .

At Mei Zhen's nod, he continued, "during this period, I want to ask for your understanding and non interference . If the new project goes well, it will have long term benefits for all of us . "

She was relieved that he had been busy thinking about work instead of that woman . And she was thrilled at the prospect of becoming his confidante . This was the first time that he had discussed work with her and sought her help .

"Of course I understand . You don't worry about anything and simply concentrate on your precious project . I will be here to support you," she said warmly .

Tang gave a start at her choice of words but then smiled, "yes, it is indeed precious . "

A man who rarely smiled had been doing so continuously since last evening . Things were definitely looking up for Mei Zhen . She had never thought that the trip would be the turning point in her marriage . She was going to show him that she could be the perfect partner for him .

Tang could still smell her hair . He had replayed the last night's events in his head multiple times . Ever since he had gotten to know about Jia Li's divorce, there had been an impatience gnawing at him . It had taken hours and hours of wading through frustration and pain for him to finally realise what he wanted to do, needed to do .

Years ago, Jia Li's lack of trust in him and his own cowardice had forced them to make foolish choices, consequences of which they were living till date . It was high time that they put an end to it . There was no way that he was going to allow another man to put his hands on his woman ever again . Once had been bad enough!!

Then, there was the complication of his own cumbersome marriage . To sort out this mess, he needed a careful plan and he knew just the right people who could help him come up with one . He shut his eyes and tried to imagine Jia Li's reaction when she would look at herself in the mirror this morning . He wished he was there to see it…

Jia Li woke up with a throbbing headache . She hadn't managed to sleep until dawn and then had fallen into an uneasy slumber . She walked unevenly to towards the washroom . Putting paste on her brush, she looked up to see dark circles beneath her eyes . Suddenly she gasped . The brush slipped out of her nerveless fingers and clattered on the floor tiles . The various love bites on her neck spoke vividly about passion of the previous night .

"He is married, he is f@!$#% married," she covered her face with her hands and moaned in despair .

Usually not the one to use make-up, except for a sun screen lotion, she was saved this time by her foresight to have brought the entire cosmetic kit along with . At least, she would be able to go out of her room and face her friends . The frenzy to check-out from the hotel saved her from her extremely observant friends' scrutiny . Upon reaching the airport, the six of them bade farewell to each other before heading towards their respective aircrafts .

Wei seemed to be preoccupied, which suited her well . Sitting next to him in the flight, she was worried that he would bring up last night's kiss but thankfully he didn't .

"I won't be able to come to the institute the coming weekend . Just received a mail about the shareholders' meeting . I guess I won't see you till the next fortnight then," he said with a tinge of apology .

Jia Li was sort of relieved to hear that . She needed some time to sort her extremely tangled up emotions .

"Don't worry about it . I anyways feel incompetent with you making the trip every weekend to keep a check on things . It will be a nice break for me while my boss isn't there to supervise," laughter coloured her words .

"You look so happy about the prospect that I almost feel like skipping the meet in Shanghai and coming up to the institute to check all records," he replied petulantly .

Finally collecting their luggage, they stepped out of the airport after a few hours .

"My driver is running late . I will wait with you here till he lands up," he said .

"Why don't you head back to the office . Your phone has been ringing non-stop since we landed . I know your driver well enough to coordinate things . As it is, you have assigned him to drive me all the way to Moganshan . There is no point wasting time here," she cajoled him .
