”I'm too tired to do anything today, Jonah, and so are you. Don't worry, I wouldn't leave the suite without alerting you.” Han Jie said sincerely.

She was not playing around at this time and genuinely feels that they all need a rest, even Jonah. Who would expect that it sounds unbelievable to them?

If Jonah did not agree to her, she would really felt bad and would want to hit him.

Jonah stared at her for a while and nodded. ”Thank you, miss.” He said and walked away from her. ”But… We have visitors today.”

”Oh? Who is it?” Han Jie asked with a frown. ”The PR team is here already? So early!” She said, not giving a chance for Jonah to speak.

So when she walked into the dining room and stopped. 'What is Kyou doing here?' Han Jie thought anxiously.

She wasn't sure if she was to be excited or to be scared that he was so early. Are they supposed to start the 'going out together often' ASAP?

”Good morning.” Han Jie said cautiously greeted, still standing by the door.

Han Feng, Jun, Bai Min, and Suzuki Kyou looked up at her with different reactions, all chorused their greetings.

Han Feng smiled at his daughter, waving her to sit beside him.

Han Jun looks at her briefly before going back to his food.

'He is supposed to go to City S, right? Why not leave sooner?' Han Jie looked at him questioningly, but the other refused to acknowledge her further.

Bai Min was also the same. He was also acting so behave in front of his boss.

'Understandable,' Han Jie thought to herself, as she resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

Suzuki Kyou greeted and looked at her expressionlessly. Han Jie stumbled as she walked towards the chair closest to her father's.

She sat unsteadily and tried to pour herself a cup of tea. Suzuki Kyou noticed her shaky hands and collected the teapot from her and poured it himself.

”I didn't expect to see you here, Suzuki Kyou.” Han Jie said as she took a careful sip of her tea.

Suzuki Kyou smiled at her making Han Jie raise a napkin to her nose.

”Why is that, MeiMei,?” Suzuki Kyou asked softly, his deep voice resonating around her.

Han Jie barely covered her reaction to being called Mei just in time. ”Aren't you busy?” She asked instead, biting her lower lip.

Suzuki Kyou stared at her lips before answering. ”I can manage. There are things that needed to be fixed.” He said,, and went back to his meal.

'Eh? That answer also works?' Han Jie thought, silently urging and dreading him, saying more.

”We are here to talk about your engagement.” Han Feng said after the brief silence.

Han Jie and Bai Min were startled.

”Engagement?” Han Jie asked as she stopped pushing her food around.

Suzuki Kyou smiled at her again, making Han Jie raise the napkin.

”Of course. It solves the current issue.” He said.

”It's a foolproof plan. After all, it was not a secret in the first place. It was just being finalized sooner than planned.” Han Jun said, defending the plan and making Han Jie know he had a hand in the plan.

Han Jie shook her head slowly before speaking, ”If we jump straight into the engagement despite yesterday's news, no one is going to believe the marriage is not a contract marriage if that is what you were aiming for.”

She really thought that they would see each other more so that the paparazzi had something to write just like last night. Then when Han Mei was back, then the engagement would be finalized.

'Wait! This is also not a bad idea…' Han Jie was considering this possibility.

Everyone sat back silently, Han Jun looking thoughtful. ”You can get pregnant.” He blurted out.

”What?! Shut up!” Han Jie yelled while glaring at him.

”You can pretend, at least you know.” Han Jun replied with a shrug.
