When Zan Guiying reached in the airport, her family is already waiting for her. Her siblings were crying.
"Don't go sister!! Please!!" They grabbed both of her arms.
Zan Guiying shook her head and hugged both of them. "I will be back faster than you can imagine!!" She tried to console them.
"You are lying!! Sister!! You won't come back!!" Zan Mengyao wiped her nose.
"Who told you that?! I will come back!!"
"No!! You are going far away!! We looked in the internet!!" It was Zan Yichen.
"But I am going to study. Yi Chen. Don't you want to see your sister study and get a job? So I can look after both of you?!"
"But why are you studying abroad?! There are many schools here too!! Zan Mengyao countered.
"It was because grandpa wanted to send your sister to study more." Grandpa Zan interjected them.
"But grandpa.... We don't want our sister to leave!! She could study here too!!"
"My grandkids. You have to understand this. When you get an opportunity, you have to grab it. Only then you can grow. For your sister, it's a great opportunity. So she should explore more and understand more. And no worries. She will call you!!" Grandpa Zan said.
"Aaaaahhhhh... Sister..... Don't go..." The kids again grabbed Zan Guiying.
Bo Ehuang smiled and grabbed the kids back. "Yingying!! Your plane....." She reminded.
The announcement could be heard.
Zan Guiying hugged her parents and grandpa. "I will call you later."
"Okay. Be safe." She got kisses from all of them.
She took her luggage and waved at all of them.....
Sitting in the plane, she closed her eyes.... Her ankles felt empty.....

De Longjun rode the car towards his regular pub. Some of his friends were already sitting and drinking.
"Boss!! You are early!!" They waved at him.
De Longjun nodded and sat down. Then called secretary Li. "Cancel today's dinner."
"Understood." Secretary Li hung up the call. Haa..... I should find out a lie.....
"Pour it." De Longjun instructed. One of the bar girls poured him some whisky.
De Longjun began to drink..... Pouring each kind of alcohol to his throat.
After sometime.....
"Hey what happened to our boss?! He is getting wasted. Its the first time this happened!!" They looked at De Longjun who was drinking vodka in an unlimited rate.
"We should call someone." They decided.
"Hey!!" It was then Jie Zihan opened the door.
"Hey!! What happened?! You look happy!! Something happened?!" All of them could see the bright expression in Jie Zihan's face.
De Longjun stopped drinking and looked at him.
"I am going to meet my girlfriend's family!!" Jie Zihan announced.
"WWOOWW!!" The crowd screamed. "CONGRATS!!"
"We can hear the wedding bells!!"
"So tonight's drink on me guys!!" Jie Zihan said.
The crowd cheered again.
De Longjun looked at them silently, took a vodka glass and threw it in the floor. 'SHATTER!!'
Some of the girls screamed. The room fell silent.
Without miding others, De Longjun took his coat and tried to stand up.
"Hey!!" Jie Zihan catched him. De Longjun couldn't even stand up.
"I am going." He said.
"The let me help you to reach there. You are drunk." Jie Zihan grabbed his shoulder. De Longjun nodded.
When reaching his car, Jie Zihan arranged a driver for him.
.....
"Young master De. You didn't eat anything!! Why did you get drunk?!" Mrs Huo asked.
"I don't want dinner. With staggered steps, De Longjun climbed the stairs.
Mrs Huo shook her head and sighed. It is because of miss Zan. He must be sad because he misses her..... I should make some hangover soup for him. She decided.
But when she made the soup and opened his room, he is already been asleep. She took back the soup and closed the door.
In the bed, De Longjun opened his eyes. Walking, he opened the drawer and took out the anklet. Then fell back to the bed again.
She is gone now De Longjun..... She won't be back again... He looked at the anklet for sometime and kept it near his bed.... Then closed his eyes again.....

Three years later. Zan villa.
"She will come tomorrow. Right?!" Grandpa Zan asked.
"Yes father." Zan Tengfei answered.
Both of them drinking tea.
"I didn't tell Yaoyao and Yi Chen that she is coming. She wanted to surprise them." After pouring tea Bo Ehuang sat down near Zan Tengfei.
"Mm.... For this three years, she never came back to the country. I have only seen in video call. Ha.... I don't know how she will look like personally...." Grandpa Zan sighed.
"She will be more beautiful than watching in the phone. I am sure." Bo Ehuang smiled.
"I know after all she takes after me." Zan Tengfei said proudly.
"Who said she is like you?! She is like her mother!!" Bo Ehuang rebutted.
"Okay! Okay! I accept defeat!! She looks like her mother!!" Zan Tengfei shrugged.
Grandpa Zan laughed. "Then tomorrow, don't forget to bring her back. Then he turned to Bo Ehuang. "And is her room cleaned?!" He asked.
"Yes. I had selected some new bedsheets and pillow covers for her. I don't know if her tastes changed." Bo Ehuang answered.
"Mm. Then I am going to my room." Grandpa Zan stood up.
"Yes father." Both of them nodded.
"Hey!! Don't you think I am handsome?!" Zan Tengfei whispered to his wife.
"Yes. You are not!!" Bo Ehuang whispered back.
"How dare you!! Wait in the room!!" Zan Tengfei rolled his eyes. And moved his face towards his wife.
"Stop it!! Father is looking at us!!" She blushed and pushed him away.
"Then can we go to the room?!" Zan Tengfei smiled wickedly.
'Khm! Khm!!' From above grandpa Zan cleared his throat.
The husband and wife fell silent. Bo Ehuang buried her face between the tea cups.
Haa..... Romance..... He smiled and climbed the stairs again.....
***
In a hotel. Room number 6340.
A women's moan could be heard, along with a man's grunts.
After sometime, the obvious cried died down. Jessica fell into the man's chest.
"So. How does it feel?! Satisfied?!" De Longjun asked.
"AAGGHH!!" Jessica screamed...

Next day, in the airport, a girl of 18 years old ran towards her father and hugged him happily.....
