After replying to Masaichi's message from overseas, Aoi Xiu had a stern look on her face as she remained seated behind her desk .

She took out some documents from the lower drawer and read them again .

It contained the leads on the investigation regarding her son and daughter-in-law .

She remembered how Midori told her how Manta implied that Agatha might have been pregnant at the time of assassination . The problem with confirming this was that her remains were cremated since it was the decision of her family .

Aoi Xiu knew that her grandson does not lie, but he had been unstable for quite some time after the incident involving his parents . Plus his coping mechanisms were odd . Could the statement be a part of his adaptation? Maybe he was just led by the fact that his Aunty Mei was having a baby . Either way, Aoi Xiu and her daughter have kept it to her son to this day .

She was immersed in her thoughts when suddenly, there was a knock on the door . She replaced the documents in the drawer and looked at the closed door .

"Come in . " She immediately turned her expression into indifference .

Takagi Ryuuji came in . "Shachou, here are last quarter's reports . " He handed over some documents .

"Hmn . " Aoi Xiu nodded and took them .

Takagi Ryuuji bowed and turned to take his leave when she spoke again .

"Chotto matte(1) . " She had a serious look on her face .

He turned around to face her . "Shachou . " He bowed, awaiting instructions .

However, he got a question instead .

"How much do you like my daughter?" Her tone was domineering . It was best not to lie .

Meanwhile, in the Song estate .

"Madie, have you talked about picking dresses with your fiancé?" Chairman Song was smoking a pipe in the living room .

Madeline Song was just passing by towards the kitchen for some water when the question was asked .

For the past few weeks, she had been lying about going out with Dan when she was busy flirting around .

"We don't do a lot of talking, so I forgot . I'll tell him next time . "

'So you were doing a lot of what?' The sly face of Chairman Song was disgusting, even for his own daughter . "Is that so? Make sure you pick out at least three dresses . "

"Dad, it is only for a night . One dress is enough . " She continued walking towards the kitchen, leaving her father slightly annoyed .

It was not because she does not like wearing dresses . In fact, even with her sexual preference, she never wanted to look like a man . She liked wearing bodycon dresses which show off all her curves . She always puts on makeup, even when staying at home . She just won't bother to select too many dresses for a fake engagement .

After sighing heavily, she sent Dan a message . "Hey Romeo, can you stop cuddling with the girl of my dreams for an hour and help me pick out a dress for our little event?"

It took about two minutes to get a reply . "What time?"

"Tomorrow at 5 . " She had an amused smile .

"Fine . Stay away from my wife . "

Madeline Song let out a laugh and headed back to her room .

At a hotel veranda in Country F, an afternoon tea was served .

Xiu Jin took a sip of his earl grey then gently placed the cup back on the table .

A pair of dark eyes were staring at him with alluring rouged lips fixed with a smile of pearly whites .

"I'm glad you agreed on this partnership . It would be a great help on the expansion of our hotel chain . "

The woman opposite him kept her smile then drank her jasmine tea .

Xiu Jin kept on talking . "We could have been in-laws . Such a shame that the children had a misunderstanding . "

Su Linyu wiped the corner of her mouth . "If you'd like, we could still be a family . " Her smile was suggestive .

"You have a plan to make them get back together?" Xiu Jin had excitement in his eyes .

"How about we get back together?"
