Even after listening to Xu Mey, a certain green-eyed individual didn't react. Xu Mey kept gazing at Ru's tall frame looking over the blinking lights of the skyscrapers in the distance.

"Sensei, why are you so quiet?" Xu Mey chose to break the thick silence since she wasn't comfortable with it anymore.

"Did you talk to your father?" asked Ru, not looking back at her.

"No." Xu Mey bit out softly.

"Why?" Xu Mey lifted her eyes to see Ru's green orbs searching for something in her eyes.

"I don't know how to talk to him. I know for a fact that dad doesn't know anything about having a son." Xu Mey spoke in a confident manner.

"And how are you so sure?"

"Sensei, if he knew he had a son... He would never have let that woman take him away."

Xu Mey was confident about this. She had heard from Fan Bingbing that her father broke down back then because that woman even threw their daughter away and left him.

Ru nodded her head giving her tacit agreement. She finally sighed and took a seat beside Xu Mey.

"Do you mind if I take your pulse?" Ru's sudden question surprised Xu Mey but she still shook her head and stretched her wrist towards her. Placing her slightly calloused fingers on Xu Mey's delicate wrists, Ru closed her eyes briefly. When she let her go, Xu Mey could see a ghost of a smile on Ru's face.

"What's wrong?" Xu Mey asked anxiously.

Ru shook her head and said, "Nothing is wrong as of yet. But try not to get agitated. It's not good for your health or the one inside of you."

"So... What about that son? I mean your twin brother."

Xu Mey held Ru's wrist and dragged her through the corridors before pointing Xiamu who was seated on a chair with his head rested on the wall behind him.

"There he is..." Xu Mey drawled her words as she pointed at Xiamu.

"Are you sure?"

"I might not be before but after I heard him calling me sis, I'm sure."

As if feeling someone's gaze on himself, Xiamu opened his eyes and turned his face towards Xu Mey. She was so alarmed that she even pulled Ru with herself and hid behind a wall.

"Why are we hiding?" Ru asked with slight amusement.

"Because I don't know what to say to him." Xu Mey answered matter-of-factly.

"Are you sure?" Seeing the skeptical look in Ru's eyes, Xu Mey knew she couldn't deceive this person no matter how hard she tries to do so.

"Sensei, it's awkward."

"Why?"

"I'm feeling guilty towards him. Badly!" answered Xu Mey in exasperation.

"Again, why?"

Xu Mey closed her eyes and groaned in irritation. Suddenly, she felt something cold touching her nose. Her eyes flew open and she looked at the ice cream in Ru's hand.

'Did he just get that out of thin air?' Xu Mey wondered to herself in amazement.

"Eat! It'll make you feel better." She wiped the cream from her nose and pressed her lips together before she took the three flavored ice cream from Ru's hand.

"How did you get it? It's past midnight. And how did you know I was craving for ice cream?" Xu Mey inquired incredulously.

"Let me answer in the order of the questions. First, I have my ways to get what I want and whenever I want." Xu Mey chuckled at this self-centered reply. "Second, I didn't know you were craving ice cream. I guess I got lucky this time." Rubbing Xu Mey's head while she was eating the ice cream in content, Ru went on, "Now, are you chilled enough to answer my question?"

Xu Mey knew she wasn't getting out of this at all. So, she relented eventually.

"I feel like for the happiness of my Qiao Ge, I just snatched away the happiness of my own little brother." Seeing Ru's completely lost look, Xu Mey had to add the story of how Xiamu was engaged to Yu Kim while Yu Kim was in love with Li Qiao and vice versa. "I'm such an incompetent sister. How could I just do that to him?"

"Gosh! I so wanna beat the hell out of you right now." Xu Mey looked at Ru in surprise only to find that the latter didn't seem to be kidding at all. "This is the biggest problem with you. Assumptions! It's not like you did everything knowing who he was or who he was talking about. You gave a stranger very honest advice. That's it! Get over it now!"

She couldn't help but knock on Xu Mey's head lightly. She knew these assumptions were the reason Xu Mey must have decided to leave Jie which backfired on her. This girl never learns her lesson! Ru could only shake her head.

"You think he won't blame me?" Xu Mey asked uncertainly.

"We wouldn't know until you man up and talk to him. Instead of acting like a chicken."

"Sensei, I can't man up." Xu Mey giggled like a kid.

"Right, you can't do that." Ru bobbed her head up and down slightly. "Well, then just gear up for some heart to heart. Your family needs that right now."
