Unlike the chaotic mess that unfold over Imperial, in another part of the city, the air that surrounds Yue Ling and Lu Tian's home was rather calm and as peaceful as ever.
The couple had already finish breakfast and were getting ready for their day. Lu Tian steps out from the bedroom in his dark business suit. He held a tie in his hand as he was going to find his wife to help him put it on.
However, just when he was about to pass the study room, he saw that the door was opened.
"Yue Ling?"
He calls out to her and looks inside the room. Seeing her sitting down on her side of the desk, he enters the room.
"It's still early in the morning, what has interest you?"
Yue Ling had one elbow on top of her desk as her palm held her chin. She was looking at her computer screen, but when she heard his voice, she turns back to look at him.
"I'm catching up on the latest news."
Lu Tian stops in his steps behind her seat. He takes a quick glance at the computer screen and was able to read the headlines. He didn't need to see anything below that and looks down at his wife.
"Is it that amusing to you?"
She spins the chair around so her entire body can face him. The corners of her lip curls up into a wide grin and she nods her head.
"It's quite amusing since I said I will help her become famous. Plus, if you knew the truth, you would be amused too."
One of Lu Tian's eyebrow arch at her words. Seeing her smile, he couldn't help but smile with her and stretch his arm to show her the tie in his hand.
"I'm all ears."
Yue Ling scoffs a faint chuckle and stood up from the chair. Taking the die from him, she helps him put it on.
"The plan Liu Shan and I told you about is all a hoax."
Her eyes remain on his chest as she pulls the wide end of the tie through the center and her words continue.
"The drug I used on Ning Mei wasn't aphrodisiac It was a substance that makes her feel weak, but still aware of her surroundings."
Tightening the tie into a knot, she smooths out the front of the tie with the tips of her fingers.
"The actual plan was for Dark Clouds to not touch her but put on an act to mess with her mind. Of course, they had to make sure it looked real in the photos."
She tilt her head back and looks up at Lu Tian.
"Sadly, Hu Ma said Ning Mei caught on to the plan."
Listening to her word, Lu Tian purse his lips. He thought it was strange that his wife would send Ning Mei to Dark Clouds. If she needed someone to 'discipline' the woman, she could have found anyone, but hearing her words now, everything made sense.
She chose Dark Clouds because all the members were the kind of people women find as a nightmare. They were the perfect choice to give Ning Mei a life lesson.
As he thought this, he lowers his head and stares straight into her bluish green eyes.
"Isn't it said that Hu Ma is a stubborn person who doesn't follow orders from others? How do you know that he actually went through with the deal?"
Yue Ling smiles a smile that reach her eyes. She turns away from him and switch her computer into sleep mode.
"There may have been only three camera that were set up in the room, but that didn't mean there weren't any other cameras hiding in the room."
When Nie Chen took Ning Mei into the room to set up the three cameras, he also hid other cameras inside the room. He made sure they were hidden very well so that no one from Dark Clouds can find it.
They did this to reinsure that no one from Dark Clouds stepped out of line.
Lu Tian watched her every move until she turns back around to face him. He sighs inside and felt that his wife is a better planner than him.
She is the type to plan ahead in advance, while he is the type to plan as he go.
"What about Ning Mei? Liu Shan mentioned that you revealed yourself to her."
He asked because he wanted to know what she is going to do, but inside, he swore that if Ning Mei tries anything, he will do whatever to protect his wife.
Seeing the tiniest change in his expression, Yue Ling smiles a sweet, yet dangerous smile. Her eyes slowly blink as she thinks back to Ning Mei's pale facial expression when she (Yue Ling) revealed herself.
"Even if she did, no one will believe her."
Lu Tian was unable to utter a word in response. He swore, if his wife were a man, she would be the biggest threat in his life. Good thing she is a woman and the better thing is, she is his woman, his wife.

Lu Tian soon left to work later than usual while Yue Ling was left alone at home again. She had tried to persuade Doctor Dong to let her return to work, but he was so persistent that she needed another week to recover.
So, like every other day since she couldn't go to work, she sat in the living room and ponder in thought of what to do for the rest of the day.
She sighs again and again as she leans back on the couch. Inu isn't here to keep her company and she misses him dearly. However, her grandfather sent her a message and asked for the Samoyed to stay at the Ji Mansion longer.
Her head tilts back and she stares up at the ceiling.
"What to do… What to do…"
As she murmur to herself, her eyes lit up and she sits up. A mischievous grin curls on her lip and she stood up. Walking up the stairs, she makes her way for her closet room.
Doctor Dong said she can't go back to work yet, but he didn't say she couldn't visit work.
She quickly change into a black turtleneck that was tucked inside her high-waited jeans. Keeping her warm was her tan wool coat and covering her feet were a pair of black ankle booties.
Grabbing a set of car keys, she doesn't get inside her BMW x5m or Audi r8. Instead, she opt for her white Maserati Granturismo sport and drives away from the house in the direction of work.
