Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Jinwen gave Lu Qi’er a cold-eyed stare.

“Daddy, why are you looking at me like that?” Lu Qi’er felt uneasy inside. She was aware of her father’s astuteness and felt as though he was going to sense that something was amiss.

Lu Jinwen was expressionless when he said, “Let’s go.”

They boarded the plane.

Lu Qi’er revealed a triumphant smile, she knew that she was going to emerge victorious once she brought her father away from Karghalik.

The airport staff scurried over, their faces filled with anxiety. “Mr Lu, please wait a moment. Due to unforeseen weather conditions, we cannot allow for any planes to depart yet. We would like to invite you to the VIP lounge to have a rest before we can provide any further updates.”

What? Flight delay?

“The sky seems clear, how can there be a flight delay? How do you even deserve to be paid for doing such a bad job?” Lu Qi’er berated them with a nasty expression.

“This... Mr Lu...” The airport staff put on a pitiful front and sent Lu Jinwen signals asking for help.

Lu Jinwen looked at Lu Qi’er from the corner of his eye. “Qi’er, why are you in such a rush to head back to the Capital?”

Lu Qi’er’s heart raced and she stammered, “I-I’m not in a rush...”

“Then we shall just wait for the updates.”

“...”

Lu Jinwen turned around and scanned around the venue with his alluring almond-shaped eyes. He noticed that there were many people at the airport that day and he headed towards the VIP lounge.

“Sir, please head this way.” Butler Ye ushered him.

Lu Jinwen had just entered the VIP lounge and a sensual voice resounded in his ears. “Mr Gu...”

Lu Jinwen felt a twitch in his ears, he stopped walking.

It was that voice.

The same voice.

He had heard that exact voice at the hospital that day—-Darling, darling...

But today, she had said something different... Mr Gu...

“Mr Gu, where are you?”

The woman continued to speak.

Lu Jinwen stopped in his tracks, he turned around and he scanned around in the crowd. He could only spot unfamiliar faces and couldn’t find the one he was looking for.

“Daddy, what’s the matter? Who are you looking for?” Lu Qi’er realized something was strange with her daddy, so she questioned him.

Lu Jinwen couldn’t be bothered with Lu Qi’er, he shuffled into the crowd of bodies.

He stood out in the crowd with his tall physique.

“Mr Gu... Mr Gu...”

He heard the voice again.

All other sounds had automatically been muted by Lu Jinwen’s senses, his mind was filled with that melodious voice. He made a turn and took his eyes fell towards the entrance of the airport.

What he saw was a lithe figure up ahead, the woman turned around slowly and her side profile could be seen...

Lu Jinwen’s pupils contracted. The woman had hair that was silk as satin, ethereal facial features, snow white skin and plump red lips, pursed into a pout. It had been a long time since he had seen a face like that and he thought that he had forgotten about such an existence. But now, her face felt so familiar to him.

Before he could even take a good look at her face, the ethereal figure had disappeared from sight.

She had disappeared.

Lu Jinwen ran over, trying to catch up but there were too many people in front. He stood in the midst of the crowd, his actions frenzied and gaze anxious.

Where had she gone?

Lu Qi’er was dumbfounded when she saw her daddy’s behavior. Even Butler Ye was stunned. He had served Lu Jinwen for a very long time and this was the first time he witnessed the man... lose his cool.

Lu Jinwen finally made it to the entrance and he grabbed the woman’s arm, forcefully turning her around.

“Mister, what’s the matter?” A stranger’s face appeared before him.

Lu Jinwen was shocked, he rapidly loosened his grip and retracted his hand. It wasn’t her.

Did he make a mistake just now?

“Sir, what’s wrong?” Butler Ye strode over and asked.

Lu Jinwen’s eyebrows were tense and he slapped his forehead with his hand, before he shook his head and answered, “I’m fine, I seem to have mistaken a stranger for someone.”

“Sir.” Butler Ye tried to test the waters. “Did you see... Madam Xuanji?”

Over the course of these years, there was only one woman on earth who could influence Lu Jinwen’s emotions. She was able to make him furious, feel hatred and even demonic.

Lu Jinwen’s eyes were bloodshot, he spoke with an unforgiving notion, “I’ll find her eventually, even if she’s hidden away at the ends of the earth.”

Butler Ye listened and wisely did not make any comments.

“Let’s go.” Lu Jinwen got a grip over himself and left.

Butler Ye gaped when he looked outside, he quickly said, “Sir, hurry and look. It’s... dandelions!”

Dandelions?

Lu Jinwen swiftly turned around after hearing his words. He lifted his almond-shaped eyes and saw the dandelions falling from the sky.

It was autumn then and the perfect season for dandelions to bloom. Karghalik was filled with dandelions.

Lu Jinwen walked out of the airport, the dandelions brushed across his cheeks, incredibly soft against his face.

It was only then that he noticed a graceful figure standing at the bottom of the stairs. She opened her palms and the dandelions brushed across them.

It was Tang Mo’er.

Tang Mo’er was looking for Mr Gu, he had brought her to the airport and vanished without a trace. She had been looking all over for him.

Where did Mr Gu go? Why did he leave her behind, all alone?

Mr Gu was behaving strangely today. He had never left her behind alone.

Tang Mo’er searched around the airport before she made her way outside and saw the dandelions.

With her satin-like hair was tucked behind her ear and it revealed her ravishing looks. She stretched out her hands to play around with the dandelions.

Dandelions were simply beautiful.

Though dandelions weren’t as dazzling as roses, they were just like fairies who could tug at one’s heartstrings.

She lifted her head, slowly observing the beautiful dandelions that filled the entire Karghalik.

Tang Mo’er and Lu Jinwen were facing each other and Lu Jinwen pinned her with his gaze.

He drifted down his memory lane, back to many years ago in a sea of dandelions. Lin Xuanji had the stalk of a dandelion in her hands and smiled sweetly at him. “Mr Lu, do you know which flower is my favorite? It isn’t roses nor peonies, I like dandelions.”

“Now I’m going to gift you with my favorite flower, the dandelion. Will you be my husband?”

He looked at Lin Xuanji’s winsome face and walked forward. His arms were around her narrow waist and he pulled her into his embrace.

He bent down and kissed her on the lips.

“Hey, Mr Lu!” Lin Xuanji blocked his lips off with the stalk of dandelion in her hand. She asked him smilingly, “A man would only kiss a woman because he liked her. How about you, do you like me?”

The scene in his mind fast forwarded to three months later. His arms encircled Lin Xuanyin while they stood on the tallest tower in the Capital, they were viewing dandelions. At the same time, a figure was standing at the bottom of the tower. As she lifted her head while looking at the sky-full of dandelions, the expression on her face was despondent. Taking a deep breath, she walked away.
