Yu Qiao went to backstage earlier than usual. He wanted to see Mo Bai before she could walk on the runway.

He got her a bouquet of white roses, which was ironic since his intention was not even pure.

It did not take long before 'Mo Bai' arrived on the dressing room. Sunglasses covered her eyes as she stiffly smiled at him trying to be welcoming.

He had the feeling of anger coming off of her. Yu Qiao ignored it and cleared his throat before handing over the roses which she accepted silently.

"Good luck with the show."Yu Qiao said awkwardly. "Do you have plans after? Like staying in the city for a couple, more days of vacation?" He asked with a hopeful smile.

"I have plans." Mo Lihua replied with a fake smile on her face. In truth, she wanted to stab Yu Qiao multiple times. How could he flirt after sending his wife an email asking for a divorce?

Right now, she could not even stand being near him. However, Mo Lihua knew still that it was all her fault. "CEO Yu, what are you trying to say? Do you want a repeat from last time?" She asked blatantly, almost snappy.

Yu Qiao was suddenly caught off guard because of the displeased tone on her voice. "It's not just that. I wanted to know you more." He said finally. For him, it would be nice to look at her eyes.

Too bad for Yu Qiao, there was no way Mo Lihua would remove the sunglasses without makeup. Her eyes were also red because of crying! 'Damn you for asking divorce and trying to flirt as well!'

She still went to the show despite her heavy heart and bad appearance as the central motif of the last show would be goth. Thus there was no need to cover.

"CEO Yu, I appreciate the gifts, time, and the effort. But I am sorry, I really could not continue on this." Mo Lihua said tiredly. She did not know why Yu Qiao would be to keen to get close to her of all the models in the event.

Yes, it made her feel giddy inside, that he could somewhat instinctively have feelings for her.

However, regardless of what he says or do, it would be too dangerous for him to get close.

 "I am sorry. I need to prepare." Mo Lihua said and turned around to leave. She could not give Yu Qiao another chance to get close to her.

The show started, with heavy heart, Yu Qiao still sat on the front row, looking forward to his 'dream girl.' It did not take long for him to wait as she appeared on his line of sight, walking down the runway.

She was wearing a long black wedding dress that covered her from head to toe. The only skin that was seen was her small face and her hands.

Yu Qiao could not help but stare. Despite the red marks on her face that looked like blood, and her eyes red, he still finds her so enchanting.

She was giving the gloomy aura of death, that should make him scared, but that was not what he was feeling. His heart was beating fast, until, flashes of images suddenly appear inside his head, making him think that it was being pounded painfully.

Yu Qiao closed his eyes painfully as he breathes in and out. He was very familiar with the pain, especially when his head was trying to help him remember something.

However, this time, Yu Qiao only saw flashes of shadows around him. He tried to relax, and when his breath was even, that was also the time he noticed that the show was almost over.

'Did I miss something?' He asked himself, feeling bad for missing another set of clothes worn by her.

Yu Qiao had no choice but to see Mo Bai again on the backstage. However, this time, she refused to give him even a minute.

'So, what now?' He asked himself. Yu Qiao did not want to act like a stalker, but he also did not want to give up pursuing Mo Bai. So since he was supposed to go home, it would be best to stay. He still had one more week on his jolly holiday. He does not feel like wasting it away in the office while a particular model clouded his mind.

The next day,

Joey was aboard their suppose flight home from City P. Instead of going home with his assistant. Yu Qiao would stay.

It was arranged that he would take care of the important matter that needed personal appearance, especially for Yu Corporation, while those that could be taken care of remotely will be sent to him.

'So much for the remaining week of my holiday,' Yu Qiao grumbled silently. It was still the vacation regardless of the paperwork that would be sent to him sometimes.

 Yu Qiao's secretary, Millicent, had booked a series of appointments for him. He was supposed to attend to all of them promptly if he considers his business' market value to be of any importance or its devaluation of any implications. Since he was preoccupied with something, Yu Qiao would have Joey attend those instead.

Meanwhile, he would personally cater business in City P while looking for a chance to 'accidentally' see Mo Bai. Joey did an excellent job of flirting with Mo Bai's manager, and he was able to see her schedule until the end of the month.

With that, he was sure they would meet again. Yes, he was very certain.

He was actually on an excellent mood since Mo Lihua had finally responded to his last email. Yu Qiao wanted to talk to her personally, but she would ignore the request. 

She even sounded about their marriage and divorce. Meaning, she was not against the idea, which made him somewhat happy. Yu Qiao was very optimistic about getting a favorable response from her someday.

The only thing he needed to do was tell the twins about the divorce…
