The twilight fades to blackness as Mo Yuan car glide down the road. Roads that were black during the day now merged with the blackness of the night.

The bright moon shine above the passing invisible clouds.

Mo Yuan look up at the sky, in them he can see clearly the millions of stars dotted in the inkiness of the night.
None of the brightness of the moon nor the stars can compare to the myriad of feelings and elations that he have within.

The traffic light turned red as he quickly press down on the brake. His fingers tapped on the steering wheel as he waited patiently for the light to turn green.

The screen on his phone lit up even before it rang as he quickly tap on it. Nanny Song's voice rang out loudly within the quiet car.

"Mr. Mo, everything that you have requested are here on the kitchen's counter and have been prepared. Will you need anything else before I leave?"

"No. Thank you."

"You welcome Sir."

Mo Yuan tilted his head to the right and the beautiful floral display caught his eyes.
Once the light turn green he pulled his car to the side and quickly turned off his engine as he dashed towards the shop.

"Hello Sir. How may I help you?"

"I'm looking for something for my wife."

"Oh....is it your anniversary? Her birthday? A day that you first met?"

"No, none of those days. I just want to buy her flowers."

"Wonderful! May I ask what is her preference?"

Mo Yuan thought about that and his mind came up blank.

What is her preference?

Mo Yuan realized how little he know of her. He stood there uncomfortable as the florist patiently waited for his answer.

"Sir, may I suggest a few options for you to choose from?"

Mo Yuan nodded his head as the florist took him around each of the refrigerator that stored the flowers. She pointed out a variety of flowers and options as Mo Yuan look on.

His fingers pointed to hydrangea, tuberose, buttercup ranunculus, and peony. All the flowers he pointed to were all white.
These flowers reminded him of her gentleness, pureness, elegance, and natural beauty. 

"Excellent choice Sir. Please wait for a few minutes while I gather these flowers into a bouquet."

Mo Yuan nodded his head and smile.

He placed the big white bouquet of flowers on the passenger seat. His car instantly filled with the heavy fragrant scent of the mixture of flowers.
Mo Yuan fingers touch the white snowy petals and a tender smile slowly spread across his lips.

His mind is a blurred of tonight's possibilities....each thoughts made him smile wider....the anticipation made his heart beat faster.
The feelings of joy and happiness washed over him.

Not a single thing at this moment can cause this feeling of happiness to dissipate.
Mo Yuan press on the gas petal as his car sped away.

He got into his apartment and slammed the door shut. He took his shoes off and slide into his home slipper.

He quickly strip his jacket off and draped it over the chair. He placed the bouquet of flowers on the table as he headed towards the kitchen.

Mo Yuan put on the apron and picked up the knife. He cut the cleaned vegetables into perfect pieces. Every motion was precise and perfect.

His cheeks glowed as he moved about the kitchen with ease.

Mo Yuan tasted his foods and smiled. He raised his hand up and look at his watch.

Hmm...where is she? She should be home already at this time....right?

He quickly set the table, burn some candles, placed the wine in the bucket of ice and hid the flowers in the kitchen.
He took the apron off and sat in the living room to wait for her.
He had never felt this nervous before, even when facing the board of directors.

After thirty minutes of waiting he reach for his phone and call her.

"The person you are trying to reach is unavailable. Please try again later."

The automatic voice answered had Mo Yuan confused. He thought he had dial a wrong number so he looked down at his phone.

Wife....it is the right number. Why did she turned her phone off?

Mo Yuan dial her number again.

"The person you are trying to reach is unavailable. Please try again later."

Mo Yuan pace back and forth in the living room...his feet stomp impatiently from one end to another.

Could something happened to her?

Mo Yuan was thinking of what other ways he could locate her but he couldn't come up with one.

He realized that he doesn't know anything about her. Who her friends are.....where does she work....What kind of work does she do....Does she have any siblings....who are her parents....where did she live before she move in with him.....none...

The more Mo Yuan thought about it the more helpless and frustrated he became. His hand became clammy against his bouncing knee.

Why did I not ask her any of these questions?

He sat down and took a deep breath to calm himself. Maybe he's overreacting.....she will walk in any minute from now.

Two hours passed by as his mind unravel at all the possibilities. A thought came to him as he rushed up the stairs.

He open the door to their room and look inside. Her stuff was still here. From her toiletries in the bathroom to the minimum clothes that she have....all still hanging in their shared walk in closet.

Mo Yuan ran back downstairs, grab his car key, and quickly put his shoes on.

He doesn't know where to start looking for her but he drove around to all the nearby bus stops, train stations, and his sharp eyes scanned the streets.
It's as if she has disappeared in front of his eyes.

After two hours of searching for her endlessly he found himself in front of his building. He reluctantly went up to his place as he sat down on the sofa.
It's now close to midnight. Where could she be?

Maybe she stay at her friend's place and will be back tomorrow.....

With that little hope that he told himself, his frame slouched forward as he made his way upstairs. Each step that he took became heavier than the last.

He was tire but his eyes refuse to close and his brain refuse to rest. He lay there and stare at the ceiling.
Mo Yuan could hear his heart beat in the quiet room. His heart felt like it would burst forth from his ribcage at any moment.

The dawn of the day appear slowly on the horizon. The many shades of orange slowly becomes brighter as the sun rises.

Mo Yuan groaned loudly as the rays hit his face. His hand unconsciously reach out to the other side of the bed as it felt for her.

Then his hand still and his eyes abruptly open. He blink a few times to adjust his sight. The memories of last night came rushing back to him. He quickly sat up and turned his head to her side.

She's not here.....she didn't come home.

With everyday that Bai Qian went missing Mo Yuan was like a crazed man. Everyone around him avoided him to the best that they could and with very little contact with him as possible.

A week went by and his heart felt like it was slowly dying.....all hope of seeing her again disappeared.

He did what he could and still no news of her. He had his personal assistant Jun Jie checked all the hospitals in Beijing and nearby towns....nothing.

Jun Jie checked all the police departments to see if they had any news of her....nothing.

Alas as quickly as she shoved her way into his quiet life....she quickly disappeared without a trace.

Seven Months Later.....

Secretary Le silently look at the man in front of her.
She had thought that he was the most diligent person before, but now she thinks he's a super human. For the last seven months everyone in the company not only tip toed around him but they also had to put in extra overtime hours to catch up with his working speed.

A lot has happened within the last seven months but it doesn't seem to faze him in any ways.

"Secretary Le, here's all the documents that needed my attention and signature. I have reviewed them all and signed the appropriate ones."

Secretary Le eyes widen as she stared at the stack of papers. There were several contracts and proposals in there and he had finished reviewing them all within half a day.

Is he even human? What caused this major changed in him? He has been working nonstop without even a break.

She stiffly walked over and grabbed the stack of papers.

"Is there anything else you need Sir?"

"That'll be all for now."

Secretary Le close the door quietly behind her. Mo Yuan dropped the document that he has been reading....sat back and closed his eyes briefly.

Bai Qian, are you happy? Happy that I fulfilled your wish for a divorce?

The smile I wear, it's empty
The real one, you took away that day
This lonely heart, miss you endlessly
I thought it was a dream
But memories keep coming back
So do all the pains
My mind and heart will always be captive
In the mystery of that day....

Mo Yuan's phone rang loudly in the quiet room. Jolting his thoughts back to the present. His brows furrowed as he look down at his phone.

"Zhe Yu."

"Mo Yuan, how about we go out for a celebratory drink tonight?"

"Celebratory?"

"Yes, meet me at the Golden Mystic Lounge at seven."

The phone went dead before Mo Yuan could answer.

That evening at the Golden Mystic Lounge.....

The contemporary lounge with it's dramatic staircase and backlit washi-paper walls blends solemnity and elegance.

The high ceiling features vertical bands of wood with stylized bamboo foliage. Giving the place a natural feel of being outdoor.

Zhe Yu waited patiently for Mo Yuan to arrive as he sip his wine.

His friend has changed a lot within the last seven months. Zhe Yu let out a disbelief laugh as he thought of Mo Yuan.

"A penny for your thought."

Zhe Yu's thoughts got cut short as his eyes follows the soft voice. He got so caught up in his own thoughts that he didn't even noticed Mo Yuan had arrived.

"Nothing much. When did you arrive?"

"I thought nothing miss your sharp eyes?"

"My eyes might be sharp but sometimes it's not aligned with my mind."

"Touché....please enlighten me as to what are we celebrating?"

"Oh? Don't tell me that finally you cleared your name is not caused enough to celebrate?"

"I wasn't worried about it to begin with."

"Well you might not be worried about Stacy, but you still had to deal with all those reporters camping outside your place. Now that it's all over let's drink to celebrate."

The last seven months his love life his been interesting to say the least.

The person that he thought would be the one....not only went missing but also send him divorce papers.

The person that he cares nothing about has raised a storm and accused him of not taking responsibility for her and the baby that she's carrying.

Everything finally ended a few days ago. Thanks to Jun Jie....with his handy work he had discovered that Stacy was seeing an older businessman.

He had Jun Jie mailed the evidence to the businessman's wife and she confronted Stacy. Not only that but she released the video to the public.
It caused Stacy great humiliation and the businessman that was involved with her had disassociated himself from her.

Stacy got admitted to the hospital for stress and anxiety.
The doctor that was overseeing Stacy when she got admitted to the hospital was Zhe Yu. Thanks to Zhe Yu....he checked and confirmed that Stacy was never pregnant....

With that information Mo Yuan had Jun Jie released the news to the reporters....

"Zhe Yu, thank you for helping me."

"Your thank you will be accepted if you take care of tonight's meal."

Both of them raised their glass of wine as they quietly drank.

"That's right. I forgot to asked you. Have you find her yet?"

Mo Yuan shook his head.

"It's no longer important whether I find her or not. She has nothing to do with me now. The divorce has finally been settled."

"So with the divorce settlement she is free from you and can live a life of luxury."

Mo Yuan shook his head and laugh to himself.

"She did not want even a penny from me. Not only that but the account I had set up in her name has never been touched."

Shock was clearly written on Zhe Yu's face. Any women would not only love to be marry to his best friend Mo Yuan for his good looks, but also his immense wealth.
He couldn't believe that there is still a woman out there that resisted his charms and good looks....not only that but she divorced him!
Interesting indeed!! No wonder his friend has been nursing a broken heart for the very first time.
