The tears were endless .

Xiao Yunhua was heartbroken as much as Zhou Lang . Such a caring man, she had taken for granted . Even though she was the one that broke up with him, that didn't mean that she didn't care for him . She had grown a soft spot for the man, just not in a romantic sense . Probably because Xiao Yunhua knew that he would never be a target of hers and that their relations.h.i.+p had always been built on lies . Manipulation . Revenge .

As Xiao Yunhua got into a taxi, her phone began to ring nonstop in her hand but she ignored it . She didn't know where she was supposed to go with this constant dull pain in her heart . She needed a place to vent or to relax her mind . If she were to go home, most likely, she'd be interrogated . If she were to go to Riverside to drink away her sorrows, she was afraid that she would end up drunk enough to commit an unforgettable and inexcusable mistake .

She was lost . Physically, no, but mentally, she was lost . In the end, she decided to make her earlier idea a reality . A much-needed vacation was going to be in session . She dialed Ni Ming's phone number, only for the call to fall on voicemail . Not wanting to delay her sudden impulse as she knew she might change her mind in her future, Xiao Yunhua decided to leave her a voicemail .

"Hey . . . " her voice was hoa.r.s.e, most likely from crying so much, "I just wanted to let you and boss know that I'll be taking a vacation somewhere . Please don't look for me because I need some time alone . I promise I'll be safe and will come back soon . " Xiao Yunhua held back her tears, "Love you guys . " And then she hung up, asking the taxi to go to an ATM so she could withdraw some money to use in her rendezvous .

She withdrew a quite a bit of cash and asked the taxi driver to drive her to w.a.n.g Yaowan's mansion . Fifteen minutes later, she sneaked inside and grabbed her identification cards and other necessities . The luggage that she was using was full at that moment and she began to quietly go back .

Luckily, it was late and everyone was asleep . There were security cameras outside so, in the end, they would find out anyway . But Xiao Yunhua hoped that by the time they discover her, she would be long gone .

Even though Xiao Yunhua knew that she wasn't doing the right thing by running away from her problems, at this moment, she was too invested to back out . Her choices were heavily depended on her emotional mood .

The taxi driver that was waiting outside, impatiently, drove her to one final destination: the airport . For his services, Xiao Yunhua mindlessly paid a large amount which left the man astonished in grat.i.tude as the beautiful woman walked away, pulling her luggage with her .

As Xiao Yunhua walked in the airport this late at night, she noticed several stares but she ignored them all . She looked and saw that the soonest flight was in fifteen minutes to a nearby island . Checking with the airport for seat availability, she was relieved to see that there was a seat available despite buying a ticket so late .

Approximately thirty minutes later, she was on the place to Carte Blanche Island . Never did Xiao Yunhua expect that her life would change so much after a simple getaway nor did she expect that she would meet someone that would cause her much trouble . . .
