He had rung up his son's assistant to pass on the message to him, only to be informed that Wei was in Hainan Island .

"It is Lin Jia Li's birthday and Mr . Wang Wei has been personally overseeing the planning for the same," the assistant had told him at that time .

"Who is Lin Jia Li?" Mr . Wang had asked in surprise, never having heard that name cross his son's lips .

"Oh, she is the manager at the Moganshan language institute, where Mr . Wang Wei goes every weekend," the assistant had replied helpfully, cluelessly .

A few discreet enquiries later, Mr . Wang had received a fair idea of the importance of this woman in his son's life . Though he had never interfered in his son's life or its decisions, he definitely wanted to know more about the person who had brought such a drastic positive change in Wei's life . He was looking forward to knowing her better .

"We have managed to click enough pictures and conducted a few interviews . I think this should be enough for the article that I intend to publish," Chu told Jia Li .

"On behalf of the institute and the people, I am really thankful . The positive feedback will go a long way in showcasing the place in a positive light," Jia Li said gratefully .

"Look at you being so formal Jia Li . I did it partly for you and because it is a part of my brother's company . But a big reason for coming here was the institute itself . Good ideas attract more good ideas," she replied warmly .

All three of them made their way back to Jia Li's office where Tang was still immersed in the office records .

"Oh, you guys are back so soon?" he looked up in surprise and stretched his arms above his head .

"Soon? It's been three hours . I guess the numbers kept you so entertained that you lost track of time," Ethan spoke, a naughty grin on his face .

Tang matched his grin and got up from Jia Li's chair .

"I guess we should head back then," he addressed his sister and her fiancé .

"You want to leave now?" Jia Li looked at him in surprise, peering at the window outside .

"It's grown dark outside . It has snowed in the past few days and the roads maybe slippery . Why don't you leave early in the morning?" she said anxiously .

Tang walked up to her and said huskily, "it's good to hear concern in your voice for me . Been so long that you worriedly bit that lower lip for me . "

Jia Li hadn't realised that she was chewing her lip as had been her habit . She broke the hypnotic eye contact and took a step back .

She tried to persuade Chu, "I seriously don't think it's wise for you guys to travel tonight . You can stay the night and leave early morning . "

Chu shrugged her shoulders and said that she was okay with whatever the boys decided .

"You don't have confidence in my driving skills? Have you forgotten that I grew up on this mountain as well? I am not trying to be difficult but I have an important meeting lined up tomorrow morning . It is imperative that I reach back tonight," Tang said charmingly .

She looked at Ethan, who threw his hands up in surrender .

Sighing, she said, "let me get some hot food packed for all of you . I don't want you to stay back for dinner and delay the departure then . "

Once Jia Li had left the room, Chu looked at her brother in concern . He reached for her arm and pulled her closer to him .

"Have faith in me . I promise no harm will come to anyone, hmm…" he calmed her down .

Jia Li bade them farewell with an edgy feeling in her heart . Tang had never refused her like this in the past, she groused . Tidying up, she finally found her phone and was startled to see so many missed calls from Wei .

"Is everything alright? I am sorry that I missed your calls . My phone was on silent and I have had a busy day," she rattled off the minute he picked her call .

"How can you be so irresponsible? After you didn't pick up, I called the reception and got to know that you were busy touring the place with Ethan and Chu . I understand you are a workaholic but can you be a little sensitive towards the people who care for you . At this rate, I won't live to see my 40th birthday also," he chided her gently .

Feeling guilty, she kept quiet and waited for him to finish his rant .

"Now, don't make me feel bad by staying shut . I was just worried about you . My day doesn't go well if it doesn't have your voice in it," he said softly .

"I am truly sorry . I didn't mean to worry you," she repeated .
