"Song Dei Si was right, this place is indeed beautiful" Ho Min Lin said while she was looking at how the sea transition from dull blue to vibrant turquoise. They already went to the beach area and was sitting comfortably at their own pair of chairs. Her parents were also lounging at their own pair provided for every guests. They were the only souls in the beach during that time. It was around 5 o'clock in the afternoon. 

"You want to take a walk?" Tan Ji Nan asked her. 

Ho Min Lin nodded. She got up.

"Let's ask your parents if they wanted to stroll around too!" Said Tan Ji Nan. 

Ho Min Lin pouted her mouth. "Should we really need to tag them along in everything that we will do here? Why don't we let them explore the beach by themselves." 

"It still proper to ask them first if they want to" Said Tan Ji Nan. 

"You're being so polite..." Ho Min Lin curled up a smile on her lips when she thought of something. Does her boyfriend was currying his future in-laws favor? She s.h.i.+vered. Tan Ji Nan caught it.

"What are you thinking?" He asked. 

She shrugged. "Nothing much! Let's go and asked them!" 

Ho Min Lin was so happy because her parents did not disappoint her. They did not come with them and just wanted to rest while they were lounging at the pair of chairs while listening to the sound of the sea waves. 

Ho Min Lin rested her head on Tan Ji Nan's shoulder while they were walking slowly at the sh.o.r.e. The sun was still up so they wore a pair of beach slippers to protect their feet from the heat of the sand. 

"Thank you for giving me and my parents this granduer vacation." Ho Min Lin said because Tan Ji Nan paid all the travel expenses of her parents too. 

Tan Ji Nan softly kissed her forehead. 

"It is a much needed vacation for all of us. I know your parents are stressed out too at work. They are not getting any younger and both of them are still holding the top positions at your family's corporation" 

"Are you saying that I should step up now and take either mom or dad's position?" Ho Min Lin asked. 

Tan Ji Nan smiled "Not in the near future. I'm afraid that we won't be seeing each other anymore if both of us hold the top position in our respective company"

"But I'm the only child and sooner or later I will take charge."

Tan Ji Nan nodded. "Let's not talk about it right now. Let just forget everything and just enjoy the view." 

"Uhm" Ho Min Lin agreed. But had thought that she will give birth to two children in the future. 

.....

Tan Ja Nin's group has arrived before 6 in the evening at the resort. Song Dei Si and Yan Mor Tee could not help but reminisced all the wonderful memories that they had in the island. 

"This is the place where you had your honeymoon right?" Lu Jioasheng asked Yan Mor Tee. 

Yan Mor Tee nodded "Isn't it beautiful?" 

"It is. This place must be quite expensive. Tan Ji Nan is really geneous for giving us all this dream vacation. Are you going to invite us too when you propose for a wedding banquet to Song Dei Si to another beautiful island like this one?" Lu Jiaosheng playfully asked Yan Mor Tee. Everyone knew Yan Mor Tee. He was like Tan Ji Nan when it comes to the one they love. He will not hesitate to splurge money too. 

Song Dei Si heard Lu Jiaosheng question and was waiting for Yan Mor Tee's answer. 

"I'm not a copy-cat kind of guy so I will not propose to my wife like what Tan Ji Nan will do tonight" 

"Tan Ji Nan has set the bar high. I might have a hard time thinking how shall I surpa.s.s all your wedding proposal when my time comes" Lu Jiaosheng said.

"I never thought that a Casanova like you was also thinking of settlinh down in the future." Song Dei Si said teasingly. 

"The world is cruel. I was supposed to marry a girl when I was 20 but looked, I'm already 27 years old now and I haven't met my one true love yet." Lu Jiaosheng said. 

Song Dei Si felt sad for Lu Jiaosheng. 

"Hey, Jin Ho when are you going to introduce your girlfriend to us?" Lu Jiaosheng suddenly asked him. 

Lee Jin Ho was surprised as well as Tan Ja Nin. they secretly looked at each other. 

"Lee Jin Ho has a girlfriend already?" Madam Tan suddenly asked. All of them looked at her. 

"Why auntie? Are you eyeing him for your daughter?" Lu Jiaosheng innocently asked.

Tan Ja Nin faked a cough. 

Madam Tan laughed. "I wanted to but if he has already a girlfriend already, I might consider you instead?" 

Lu Jiaosheng laughed "I'm touched Auntie!" He suddenly looked at Tan Ja Nin's reaction and playfully smile. "Not bad!" 

Madam Tan laughed. 

Lu Jioasheng glanced back at Madam Tan. "I'm juat kidding Auntie, Tan Ja Nin is out of my league because she is too pretty." 

"You're handsome too!" Madam Tan exclaimed. 

"Auntie, Lu Jiaosheng is a casanova and you're daughter will only cry a river if she end up falling inlove with him." Yan Mor Tee chimed in casually and has forgotten that his relations.h.i.+p with the Tan's have already changed. 

Master Tan who was just quietly listening to the conversation suddenly made a nasty remark. 

"Even a guy who's not a casanova was also capable of hurting her." 

Silence filled the air because everyone was stunned by that remarks.

Tension was felt. 

"Oh I guess our golf carts are already here!" Said Madam Tan trying to ease up the tension. 

Tan Ja Nin face was flus.h.i.+ng red and wanted to disappear at that moment. 

Song Dei Si looked at Yan Mor Tee and he was apologetic. The crew has told them to hop on into their own golf cart.

.....

Song Dei Si held Tan Ja Nin arms and talked to her briefly while they were walking into the golf carts to bring them to their casita. 

"You okay?" She asked.

"I'm fine. Extend my apologies to Yan Mor Tee about my Dad's nasty remarks toward him earlier."

Song Dei Si nodded. "He was apologetic too"

Tan Ja Nin sighed. Why does her dad could not stop blaming Yan Mor Tee? He still could not leave the past behind him. 

"I'll talk to Dad once again if I have a chance later. But for now, let's forget it and focus on the main reason why we are all here"

"Okay. I'll help you coordinate with the resort management about the set up later during dinner time" 

"Sure. I'll just settle first and let's meet in front of the management office after 30 minutes" Tan Ja Ni said. There were no phone signal at the entire resort so they must provided their meeting place beforehand.

"Okay"

....

Tan Ja Nin just shared a room with her parents and her mom approached her after she changed her clothes. 

"I'm sorry about earlier" Madam Tan said. "Sometimes emotions cannot be controlled especially if it's provoked." 

Tan Ja Nin nodded. Who would have thought that the playful conversation earlier ended on that nasty remarks from her father. 

"I saw that you and Song Dei Si was talking earlier. Are you on good terms with her?" Madam Tan asked. 

"I'll always been in good terms with her" Tan Ja Nin answered. "Did you and dad thought that our friends.h.i.+p was compromised because Yan Mor Tee married her?" 

Madam Tan did not answer. 

"Mom, Song Dei Si is a good person if you give yourself a chance to know her"

Madam Tan nodded. If she wasn't a good person, Yan Mor Tee would not fell in love with her. 

"How's dad?" Tan Ja Nin asked instead when she did not received a response from her mother. 

"He went to the beach area maybe to reflect on what he did." 

Tan Ja Nin panicked. "What? He went to the beach area? He might get b.u.mped into Ho Min Lin and Tan Ji Nan." 

Panicked was also registered on her mom's face. Her daughter has given them instruction not to roam anywhere in the resort first to avoid possible encounter with Ho Min Lin and Tan Ji Nan "But I could not stop him." 

Tan Ja Nin sighed. "This resort is huge. Let's just hope that will not b.u.mped into each other."
