The sun was steadily rising above the sky .

Though there was no sunlight in Mi Rong's room, her room was lit up brightly . Her clock showed the time that was 7 . 17 am .

She was putting a snowy white coat on and preparing herself to go outside . Today, she would finally get to sort out things for aunty .

Mi Rong took one last look in her mirror before heaving a long sigh . There were dark spots underneath her eyes that showed how bad she slept last night . She reached out for a concealer and put it on lightly on top of her sunscreen .

When she was done, she took another look at the mirror again . Better, but maybe some lipstick . She put on a warm orange lipstick on her lips . She finally took another look in the mirror .

Although she had covered her sullen appearance, she could not hide the sadness in her eyes . To think of it again, she never really preferred to put makeup . Only when she met Xia Yun did she learn of all these little things . Well, it was good to adjust .

Mi Rong turned around and headed to her door . Once she opened the door, her expression had changed . All her grief was placed was stillness .  

The Xuan group had been notified and all were wearing white . The entire place was mourning on the loss from the battle and with the addition of Hua .

She walked down the stairs with her own grace . When Mi Rong arrived, everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to their leader . No one could make out what their leader was feeling . She was so calm but very distant and extremely unapproachable . Though they were worried about their leader, they all made way for her and bowed simultaneously . . .

Mi Rong did not show any emotions on her face as she walked through her followers . She merely headed straight to the where they had placed the pictures of every member of their Xuan group and the Ke group .  

Chu Chu had been standing in front of the line, waiting for her leader with a basket of white flowers .  

Mi Rong stopped just in front of Chu Chu and turned to face the young lady . Chu Chu's eyes were puffy and red, probably from crying . Hua was like a sister to both of them and as much as it was a blow to Mi Rong, it was the same for Chu Chu .

Without thinking twice, Mi Rong raised her hand and stroked Chu Chu's hair gently . She looked down at the basket in Chu Chu's hand . So, was it finally time to let go? Gradually, Mi Rong reached her hand and took the basket in her hand . She smiled softly at Chu Chu before heading to the memorial that they had set up .

On the first picture of one of her member from the Xuan group, she took one white flower and placed it in front . She then did the same to every picture, placing one flower for each one of them . It was her last respect for them all and she wished all of them to enjoy their eternity .

Once she was done, all the Xuan group then took a basket of white flowers and did the same . Mi Rong slowly placed her basket down on one of the steps in front of Hua . There was a white flower in it . She smiled one last time at the picture of Hua before leaving .  

As Mi Rong reached to doors of their hideout, she stopped in her tracks . She turned around one last time to look at everyone before walking away .

…

Mi Rong was walking up the familiar hills of a place she was so familiar with . Her steps took her to a casual but simple cafe shop . If she walked a little further, it would have led her to the Feng family household . She then opened the door and a small bell rang to announce her arrival .

The first customer of the day .

A figure who she had not seen in months appeared in front of her . Her face became instantly brighter when she saw who her customer was . She then wrapped Mi Rong into a big hug .

Mi Rong smiled, "h.e.l.lo, Xia Yun . "

Xia Yun released Mi Rong and spoke, "I've missed you! Why . . . "

However, Mi Rong quickly cut her friend off, "I just want some tea before I need to do something important . "

Though Xia Yun wanted to ask Mi Rong and talk to her friend, she knew if Mi Rong did not want to tell her anything, then she would never get anything out from her lips . Sigh, such a stubborn friend, "Fine . I'll make your favourite tea for ya . " Xia Yun spoke in the end .

"Thank you . " Mi Rong replied softly .

Just then, another figure walked inside the coffee shop . Both of the ladies turned around . Mi Rong's brows were slightly raised up and Xia Yun's brows were slightly knitted .  

On the other hand, the other figure was trying his best to breath because of their attention, "Ahem," He began .

Mi Rong took a quick peek at her friend who was showing so many different kinds of emotions . She then decided it was best to break the ice between these two, "h.e.l.lo, Lin Cheng . I did not think I would be seeing you here . " Mi Rong spoke as if she was meeting a normal acquaintance and as if Lin Cheng had nothing related to Jun Kai .

"h.e.l.lo, miss Mi Rong . " Lin Cheng bowed formally .

Xia Yun, on the other hand, scoffed and quickly turned around .

Mi Rong was slightly surprised with her friend's actions . It was very unlikely of her friend . She quickly stopped Lin Cheng who was about to follow Xia Yun, "Lin Cheng?"

Lin Cheng's body froze . He turned around slowly, "Yes, miss Mi Rong?"

Mi Rong crossed her arms and asked, "What's going on with you two?"

"Uh, Xia Yun and I, we…"

"Don't even think to bring Mi Rong in this! You, Mr Lin Cheng, came here!" Xia Yun shouted from the counter to stop Lin Cheng .

With that Lin Cheng's face turned white, he then quickly went up to Xia Yun .  

Mi Rong could not help but shake her head as she watched Xia Yun telling Lin Cheng off . She then was could by another surprise when Lin Cheng pulled Xia Yun in a hug . This? That guy's one hand was not even good, but he still pulled a person's weight onto it . Since when . . . aiya, truly not her business . She then quickly walked away and found herself a seat by the window .

Not long, Xia Yun came back with a teapot in her hand, 'Mi Rong, here's your tea ah . "

"Thank you . " Mi Rong looked up at her friend teasingly .

"Oh, stop it . " Xia Yun quickly stopped her friend .

Mi Rong poked her head beyond Xia Yun and could see that Lin Cheng was still waiting, "You and him," Mi Rong then held two fingers up in a peace sign and stuck them together as if to say that they were a couple .

"He just comes by to pick up some coffee before going to grandma Feng's house . " Xia Yun quickly brushed it off .

"Oh?" Mi Rong tried remembering something, "He comes here every day!?" She asked . No wonder Lin Cheng smelled like coffee .

"Very annoying . "

"Haha, Xia Yun . I think you should go back to tend to that fella . He just wants some coffee, isn't that only why he came here?" Mi Rong spoke with a hidden meaning that made Xia Yun slightly blush .

"I'm going now, tch . " Xia Yun then quickly left .

Sigh, Mi Rong did not know whether she should cry or laugh . Something was definitely going on with these two haha .

She poured tea in her cup and took a sip . Her cat-like eyes were still watching the pair together . Not bad she thought .

Lin Cheng received his coffee and looked reluctant to leave .  

Tut tut, if he was so reluctant why not just stay, Mi Rong thought .

He then turned to leave, but before he left he bowed once to Mi Rong .

Mi Rong nodded and quickly spoke, "Lin Cheng, don't tell anyone I'm here . "

Xia Yun was slightly surprised . However, Lin Cheng looked very reluctant .

Mi Rong then added, "Else, you and Xia Yun…" She trialled off for Lin Cheng to understand himself .  

Lin Cheng could only nod in response . His boss would probably not ask about coming here anyways and he cannot refuse miss Mi Rong either . Not because of her threat, but because who knows, she might one day become their madam and if he got on her bad side . Aiya, life-threatening indeed .

Once Lin Cheng left, Xia Yun was about to see her friend when customers started coming inside her cafe . She made an apologizing look towards her friend who was sitting down . Mi Rong shook her head as if to say it was fine .

This was also good, she needed some time to contact someone . Someone who has been trying to contact her .

Mi Rong took out her phone and went to recent . She pressed the number that had so many missed calls on her phone .  

The line was quickly connected and the other person's angry voice was sent through the line, "You! Where is my wife!?"

Mi Rong smiled . So he was worried . . .
