Luo Lixi had been spending her time in the penthouse alone. Sometimes, she would go to the 19th floor to bring Sarah. Both of them would go outside and walk in the surroundings. She had too much free time in her hand and only spent it while reading some journals and grinding her knowledge more.

It was like any other day.

It had already been one month since her hand had undergone surgery. Her hand was feeling much better. Today, she had made a plan to go shopping with Yuexin Han.

Earlier today…

When it was 11 am, Luo Lixi wanted to bring Sarah to her penthouse. Sarah's mother was having some unknown problems so these days the woman had to go outside a lot. When Luo Lixi knew it, she volunteered to look after Sarah.

More like two females accompanying each other. Luo Lixi would do her things like reading or something that short while Sarah would play beside her or make some childish drawings. When she saw the kid's drawing her heart felt stifled. She remembered the forgotten pain hidden in her heart and distracted herself from watching it.

Today when she went to the 19th floor, she found the door was open.

"Yuexin?" After Luo Lixi walked inside, she closed the door and called out the name. At her call, Sarah came running towards her. The little girl was dressed in little half jeans pants and a red flowery dress.

"Sister, we are going shopping. I can't go to your place today." Sarah shook her head. She wanted to ask Luo Lixi if she can go with them to the shopping mall but when she remembered Luo Lixi was injured she refrain from asking her.

"Okay, then. I guess I should leave now. Enjoy when you go there." Luo Lixi smiled as she told her.

"I will. Also I will buy some chocolates for me and I will give you some too."

"Owh! Thanks then. Bye bye~"

"Bye~" Luo Lixi turned around to go away. When she reached to the door, someone called out her name from behind. It was Yuexin Han.

"Miss Li, don't go." Luo Lixi stopped and turned behind. Yuexin walked towards Luo Lixi and brought her inside. The woman was preparing to choose a dress to put when Luo Lixi came. She hurriedly came here and saw the woman had already walked to the entrance.

"Why don't you go with us today? I am going to buy many dresses for Sarah and some for me and Han. You didn't go anywhere except for the surrounding areas. I have asked Sarah and she told me you don't know many places here." 

"Yes. Yuexin. It's my first time coming here. Also I don't want to go outside with an injured hand." Luo Lixi felt awkward talking about this. When Yuexin first asked her how she had been injured she failed to lie properly and the woman caught it right away. She was glad at that moment that Yuexin didn't bring up this matter again.

"Don't worry. I have many shawls with me. If you want I will properly wrap it around you and nobody would be able to see your bandaged hand." Both of them had sat down on the sofa and Yuexin was trying to convince Luo Lixi to go with them. She knew Luo Lixi had been staying up in her home for so long and she didn't know the city clearly So Yuexin thought it would be good if Luo Lixi could go with them.

Luo Lixi also thought she needed some decent dresses to wear. She had thought to go to a shopping mall to buy some clothes but the matter completely slipped away. So now it was a perfect chance to go buy some dresses.

"I will go then. Wait for me. I will get changed." Luo Lixi stood up and wanted to go but then she thought all of the dresses in the closet were the same kind. It wouldn't make any difference if she were to go put a new one. All of them were too revealing.

When Luo Lixi stopped in her tracks, Yuexin thought she would deny the next second and told her that she wouldn't go. But Luo Lixi turned around and gave Yuexin a wry smile. 

"I will go in this dress."

"Oh! okay. Your current outfit is also good. Wait for me for a few minutes then. I will get ready." Luo Lixi nodded and sat down. Next Yuexin Han turned around and walked into her room.

Luo Lixi sat down on the sofa and waited for Yuexin to get ready. Sarah didn't say anything and entered the bedroom where her mother had gone earlier. She walked out with a purse a few minutes later and returned to Luo Lixi's side to sit again. 

When Luo Lixi saw the purse, she remembered she didn't have her card or phone with her. 

'What was I thinking then? I should go hurriedly to bring my card and phone. Ruming would come running if I failed to answer one phone call.' Luo Lixi hurriedly stood and told Sarah, "I am going back to bring my purse. Tell your mommy if she asks."

Sarah nodded her little head and saw Luo Lixi storming out of the penthouse. Then she became alone again and waited for her mother to come.

Luo Lixi hastily entered the lift and went back to her penthouse. After she went inside, the first thing she searched for was the phone. When she saw there weren't any missed calls, she sighed heavily.

She couldn't help it. Some days ago Luo Lixi failed to answer Sheng Ruming's phone call because she was talking with the new woman who came a few days ago to start working in their penthouse. As both of them chatted, she didn't know her phone was ringing nonstop. 

In the next hour, Sheng Ruming came and the man was so worked up that Luo Lixi felt very bad. He was so anxious that he forgot to call another person like he could've called the servant or 5he receptionist of the building but he didn't and came straight to see if she was okay. That night Luo Lixi had to give him a lot of kisses to appease his mind.

Luo Lixi took a handbag from the closet. She put the mobile phone and the card Sheng Ruming had given her in it. Then she even took a minute and put dome moisturising cream on her face.

"I should go now." After she was done, Luo Lixi walked out from the penthouse and locked it from outside.

After she had reached the 19th floor, she saw Sarah, as well as Yuexin, were waiting for her outside of their penthouse. When she walked towards them, Yuexin made her stand still and spread a blue coloured shawl around her upper body.

"It looks good on you. Let's go." Luo Lixi nodded as all of them walked into the elevator. 

"I will press the button." Sarah chirped in when her mother went to click the ground floor's button.

"Here you go." Sarah moved aside and clicked the button. The girl even found happiness in such trivalent things. Both adults' moods became light when they saw the innocent child's smile. 

After they walked out from the lift, they passed by the receptionist and walked out. This time it was a male receptionist. Luo Lixi found this man a decent one. He would always nod at her whenever he saw her and give her a warm smile but never did he ignite any conversation with her.

As usual, Luo Lixi smiled and returned the nod the man gave her just now. Yuexin Han had a wry smile when she saw their exchange. 

'She doesn't know…' Nonetheless, she didn't let Luo Lixi know anything and walked ahead.

When the ladies walked out, the man took out his phone and sent two messages at the same time to different people.

[Madam has gone out with the other madam, little miss was with them.]

Both men received the message but had different reactions. 

Ethan Han was in his underground base, having a meeting with a lot of people. All of them had various scars and tattoos on their whole body. The people there had a bloodthirsty aura and had a crimson tinge to their eyes. It was the cause of many sleepless nights and the result of their twisted lifestyle.

People wouldn't be able to know many criminals who were wanted throughout the world were having a meeting together. 

To Ethan Han it was normal. Luo Lixi couldn't imagine in her whole life that she had met the uncrowned king of the underworld several times already and how dangerous the man was.

A man who was abandoned the moment he was born. The man who had gone to hell several times in his life already. 

Now if he returned back to his country and became determined to get what was his rightfully from the beginning, no person could stop him anymore; not even his birth father.

Ethan Han messaged his men to follow his woman and to make sure they would return home safe and sound but Sheng Ruming had the thought as to why Luo Lixi would go out with Yuexin Han. The man was oversensitive about matters related to Luo Lixi. 

Sheng Ruming was in a meeting when he received the message and paused the meeting when he saw the message content. He wanted to call Luo Lixi and ask her where she was going without telling him. But all the people were staring at him. They were waiting for him to give a command as to what to do.

"Let's continue the meeting." He put aside his smartphone and told them. So the meeting continued as it was going earlier.
