Over the past week, Ruo Hua got busy with interviews while she kept her true identity hidden from the world. While Wei Tian couldn't get any news of Ou Kaige she still cooked her plan of killing Ruo Hua as well. Meanwhile, the bond between Gao Wei and Ruo Hua grew much closer than they ever expected.
"You've met my family so far, my mother is still adamant about accepting you but she isn't that bad. What cake would you like?" Gao Wei asked her as they sat at a restaurant ignoring the people that took pictures of them.
"Strawberry." She answered as Gao Wei starred at her not handing over the menu.
"Is that all? You usually eat a lot of desserts. Are you okay with just one?" He asked as she snatched the menu back secretly giving her orders to the waiter.
"It's still gonna get to this table. But since you've met my parents, why don't you take me to meet your's?" He asked as she starred at him for a while before smiling.
"Did you ever meet Song Luo's family?" She asked making a loud silence drop between the two.
"She didn't. All she ever did was talk about her family and a sister she liked very much. But it always seemed to be the same thing she would talk about over and over. Whenever she would go further, it seemed as though her family were all hot headed and could easily kill." He answered making Ruo Hua smile.
{You just have no idea what they're actually like.}
"Well since you want to meet them, I'll have my dad get the entire family together. My family is a bit rough and might make jokes you find threatening but they aren't monsters." She assured making him chuckle as the desserts were served.
"You make your family sound like mafias." He commented as she devoured her cake.
"Trust me you have no idea. Just wait until you meet them." She added as the rest of her focus turned to her desserts while Gao Wei just watched her eat totally captivated.

The next night at Luxury Ends hotel, Gao Wei and Ruo Hua entered the hotel as the security bowed before opening the doors for them to enter.
"That's a lot of formalities for a hotel. They don't seem to treat others they way they did us." He commented as Ruo Hua took his hands.
"This hotel belongs to my dad. Everything you see tonight, don't question it." She warned him before taking him inside as the entire family was present but at the point of pointing guns at each other making Gao Wei alert as he pulled Ruo Hua back.
"Don't be too alarmed. This is my precious Ruo family. That's my aunt and uncle, they are married but still point guns at each other and those are my cousins, Ruo Bai, Ruo Han, Ruo Yu and Ruo Qing. Their parents sit over there." She pointed walking over to her father who sat at the head of the table taking his hand as she kissed it.
"And this is my father, Ruo Guang. My grandparents are out of town with some other elders so my father is in charge of the Ruo family." She finished as her uncle and aunt continued shouting at each other making her bang her hand hard on the table before silence fell in the room.
"I'm here with my husband, please restrain yourselves from killing each other." She pleaded looking at Gao Wei who had already broken out in cold sweat as she went over to him taking his hand as they took their seat next to her father who kept looking at Gao Wei making him more uncomfortable which Ruo Hua noticed making her touch her father's hand as he finally turned to her.
"You haven't even looked at me since I got here. Don't give him a hard time, at least for me." She pleaded making Ruo Guang sigh as he turned to the family as his brother and his wife sat down ending the argument the moment his attention shifted from Gao Wei.
"So why did you choose to marry my daughter? I've heard she looks like your ex wife." Ruo Guang inquired making Ruo Hua cover her face as Gao Wei looked at her and smiled.
"Well it's no doubt she looks like my ex. But as time went on living with her, I realize there's a huge difference between them which is just incomparable." He stated making Ruo Hua turn to him surprised.
"She's her own person, Ruo Hua. Maybe I got married to her because of her looks but now I know that I'm with her today not because of her looks but because she proved to be her own person and not my ex to please me." He added suddenly hearing sobs making everyone turn to see Ruo Ming and his wife sobbing when they were just pointing guns at each other.
"I just wasn't looking at another woman. I thought the dress would look good on you and even ordered it for you." Ruo Ming started as Yuan Ai went over to him hugging him.
"I shouldn't have misjudged you either. But if you ever do look at another woman, you and I will both die on the spot." She threatened as Ruo Ming looked at his wife totally whipped for her.
"Things get messy between the two__ please take whatever else is going to happen elsewhere." Ruo Hua requested as the two rushed out of the room immediately.
"So what you're telling me is you no longer see Ruo Hua as your ex__ in anyway?" Ruo Guang questioned making Ruo Hua sigh as she turned to Gao Wei who just looked at her. At that moment a sudden feeling rushed through her making her get up as everyone starred at her.
"Ruo Hua listen to__"
"You don't need to explain. We both just want our own personal goals from this marriage. You head on home, I'll come back after some days when I've handled my work here." She interrupted as he still starred at her adamant about leaving.
"You are not mad?" He asked making her smile as she shook her head before he left.
"Now that he's gone, would you like to explain why you haven't gotten rid of Ou Kaige and Wei Tian already?" Ruo Han asked frustrating Ruo Hua even further.
"We're are not giving you any sort of pressure, it's just our concern. The more you delay the more situations like what just happened now will happen. Any further delays and love might actually__"
"Shut up!" She interrupted Ruo Yu as she took in deep breathes to calm herself down.
"I'll go check on our accounts. You guys continue. And also, nothing will happen between Gao Wei and I." She assured before leaving with a guard who escorted her to another room.

After a whole week, Ruo Hua didn't return home disturbing Gao Wei's peace of mind as Wei Tian made matters worse trying to get close to him. The seasonal HKMA was approaching as well and Ruo Hua was invited as a nominee but still hadn't returned which gave Wei Tian the opportunity to fill in for her.
"Gao Wei, she's probably got busy handling her family business. You shouldn't get too worked up on her. I'm here after all and the HKMA is in just two days, if she doesn't show up, I'll gladly fill in for her." She finished running her fingers on his suit leaning on his shoulder as she turned his face towards her.
"Don't be too worried when I'm always by your side." She whispered as he took her hands off his face.
"If you ever get close to me like this, forget your life as rapper under my company." He threatened before getting up to leave as his secretary followed him.
"You still can't get a hold off Ruo Hua?" He asked stopping in his tracks as the secretary remained silent making him guess the answer before he left.
