"You're getting smart. I’ll show you your kid. Open the video call."

Venus was just giving it a try, not expecting her request to be accepted. Then she quickly opened the

videophone with a shaky hand, and clicked the record button on the way. She wished she could watch

it back over and over again when she missed her child.

Then she saw a house on the phone, and then a crib appeared. Venus finally saw her child. He had

chubby face and hands. He was lying in the crib, shaking his hand, babbling. He looked grown up.

Suddenly Venus’s tears rolled down her face. “Little baby, let me see you smile." the man said.

The child heard his words, really "giggle". The sound of laughter came through the phone, and Venus

cried even harder.

"Well, you've seen your child now. Remember to complete your task, or you'll never see him again."

Venus was busy wiping away her tears and said, "I will complete my tasks as soon as possible. Please

don't hurt my child."

"Very well." the man said.

"There is something I want to ask you," Venus said.

"What is it?" the man said impatiently. He was pointing the camera at the corner of the house. Venus

guessed he was doing that because he wasn't wearing a mask and he was afraid she could see his

face.

"What's he here for, other than to prove my identity?"

"It's none of your business. He won't get in your way. When you need him, he can help you."

After Venus heard his, she stopped worrying that he was here to ruin her plans.

"You've been with Kerry Ye for so long. Why haven't you made any progress so far? The information

you gave the old man of the Ye family last time was worthless."

Venus was afraid that he would do something to hurt the child and immediately said seriously, “You

said I had half a year to complete this task, but only two months have passed. The time is not yet up,

so you have to keep your promise."

The man snorted coldly and then hung up the video phone.

Venus collapsed on the bed. She replayed the video she had just recorded over and over again. Every

time she saw the part about the child, her tears kept flowing. In the end, she kept seeing her phone die

before she laid down on the bed for a while and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

......

The next day, Xuan Chu was still startled the first time he saw Venus. He almost thought of her as his

sister. They were too much alike, except for the eyes.

"My sister's eyes give people a feeling of arrogance, but her eyes are so quiet that people can't see

through them." Xuan thought.

"Good morning, brother." Venus said. Xuan, who was eating breakfast in the hotel buffet restaurant,

was shocked to hear her call him brother.

He took a bite of a fried dumpling. When she sat across from him with her breakfast, he said, "You're a

dedicated actor."

Venus knew he was being sarcastic. She ate the buns from her plate and then said, "I'm also getting

you into the act early. There may be Kerry's men around here watching us."

"My dear sister, can you accompany me to the office? I need to know what's going on with the project

right now." Xuan said deliberately.

Venus felt gross when he called her "dear sister". Then she said with a smile on her face, "Ok. I don't

know anything about it. Since you're here, I'll leave it to you."."

At the Yehuang Group, it was close to noon when Kerry got a call from Henry, "Sir, Xuan Chu and his

sister had dined at the hotel in the morning and then took a ride to their temporary office location."

Kerry rubbed his brow and then asked, "How are the two of them getting along?"

"They were very familiar with each other. Xuan Chu even put his arm on Yan Chu's shoulder when he

walked out of the hotel. The two of them were talking happily."

"Got it, continue to follow them. Don't let them know you're following them."

"Yes, sir."

Hanging up the phone, Kerry leaned back in his seat. His instincts told him that Yan Chu was Xuan

Chu's sister, and there was nothing wrong with them acting close, but he still minded them being so

close.

He always saw Yan as Venus, so when Xuan and Yan were close, it was as if he and Venus were

close. He knew in his heart that this kind of thought of his was morbid, but he couldn't help himself.

At this time, Secretary Liu came in with the packed lunch from the fancy restaurant.

"Mr. Ye, it's time for lunch."

"Put them on the coffee table. Then you go to the Luoyu Restaurant later to order a dinner, and then

invite these heads of the amusement park project to this dinner."

Secretary Liu nodded and asked again, "Mr. Ye, who is this dinner for?"

"Mk's general manager, Xuan Chu." Kerry said faintly.

Secretary Liu was startled. He hadn't gotten the news that Xuan Chu had already come to Sky City and

now he was curious about this man.

After Secretary Liu went out, Kerry picked up his phone and called Xuan Chu.

"What are you busy with?" he asked.

"I'm at the office now. My brother and the others are in a meeting. I just wait for them to go for lunch

later." her lazy voice came over.

Kerry had a look at the lunch box on the coffee table and said, "Do you want me to pick you up and

then we'll go eat?"

"Thank you. You’re so kind." said Venus excitedly, "I'm dying of boredom. Hurry up and I'll meet you

downstairs at the office."

"Okay, I'll pick you up now. "

"Got it."

Then Venus hung up the phone, and relieved. Venus knew that Kerry liked Yan Chu because he felt

that Yan was Venus and now Venus confirmed that she was the real Yan. She was afraid that he would

ignore her, but he didn’t.

She wandered around the office for a few minutes. Seeing that it was about time, she was about to

pack her bag and go downstairs when the door to the conference room opened.

Xuan strides over to see her leaving and asked, puzzled, "Where are you going?"

Without looking back, Venus said, "I'm going to have luch." then she added, "With Kerry."

Xuan shrugged, "Please tell Mr. Ye that I am going to go to the construction site in the afternoon."

"Okay, bye, dear brother." Venus smiled at him and raced to the elevator door.

Xuan saw that smile suddenly appear on her face and shuddered. From the first moment he saw her at

the airport yesterday, Xuan was surprised. She really was too much like his sister. So he

subconsciously thought of her as his sister.

It was only later when he returned to the hotel that he gradually calmed down. He knew she wasn't

really Yan Chu, so later on his attitude towards Venus changed a bit.

Venus was standing downstairs at the office very early, waiting for Kerry in the shade. A few minutes

later a black Cayenne drove up slowly, and then she stepped out of the shade. When the car pulled up,

she got in and sat in the passenger seat.

"Where are we going for lunch?" Venus asked him as she fastened her seat belt.

Kerry started the car, his expression still cold, "There's a Cantonese restaurant near here. It’s very

good. You'd better eat more. I’ll invite your brother for dinner tonight, so you probably won't have time

to eat."

Venus nodded, then remembered Xuan's instructions, and said, "My brother said he was going to the

construction site this afternoon, do you go there?"

"Of course I will. He asked you to pass on the message, which means that he wants me to accompany

him. Are you going there?" Kerry asked.

"Since my brother's here, he'll just take care of that, so I won't be there." Venus said, and then took a

glance of him.

During the meal, neither of them spoke much. Venus could tell that he was not in a good mood.

"Yan, what kind of food does your brother like?" Kerry asked her suddenly.
