July 1th- Friday.

One week later.

"No, no, no, no, no!"

Bai Luo Yin and Liu dashed from the kitchen to the bridezilla in the living-room. "What? what happened now?"

"The limousine service just called, a few of their cars broke down, so, they won't be able to provide us their services tomorrow. Not only that, but the hairdresser just texted me saying there was a problem with her plane, and they canceled her flight, all the flights for today and tomorrow are all booked, so she can't make it. I had to use my You Qi connections in order to get her, she usually only styles celebrities' hair..."

As he talked, more and more twitches found their way to Yang Meng's face, bringing his high level of distress up to the surface. "My wedding is ruined, what are we going to do now?"

Liu was about to say something when Bai Luo Yin beat him to it. "Relax, nothing is ruined. I will fix it all, just continue everything as planned."

"How exactly will you fix it? The wedding is tomorrow!"

"I know, relax, I have a plan. I will take out a plane, and fly the hairdresser here. And Gu Hai will take care of the limousine problem, one of his business partners owns a limousine company, he will ask him for a favor, and you guys will be set, I guarantee it."

Looking at the confident Bai Luo Yin, Liu furrowed his brows as his expression turned doubtful and uncertain. "With all due respect Lieutenant Colonel, but I don't think the army will let you use their aircrafts for your own personal usage."

A mysterious smile appeared on Bai Luo Yin's face. "I am not planning on using the army's aircrafts, I have my own resources. Don't worry about it, just text the hairdresser and tell her that I am coming to get her in a few hours, and you two, just keep preparing as planned."

With his phone and car keys in his hand, Bai Luo Yin set one foot out the apartment door when Yang Meng's anxious voice made him backpedal into the apartment, and look back.

"Wait, Yin Za, will the limousine be here today or tomorrow? What did Gu Hai tell you? What time is he supposed to land?"

A dark cloud of heartache filled Bai Luo Yin's eyes. When indeed? He wished he had an answer to that question. After he lost his coolness during their phone call last week, Gu Hai never contacted him again. He himself didn't dare to try and contact Gu Hai first, during the last month he felt rejected enough as it is, no need to call that said man, and confirm it. What good will come out of it?

Truth be told, in a hidden corner of his subconsciousness a dreading turret stood tall and high with the word: abandoned on it, in flashy red and all caps. In fact, his anguished heart was right there with it, his body tormented him even more with undesirable signs of panic. But he swallowed it all, ignored it all, kept it a secret, locked himself in the bathroom, and dealt with it in silence.

He could have told Gu Hai about it during their phone calls, but he chose not to. He planned to never talk about it with anyone. How pathetic will it be if Gu Hai will stay with him only in order to make it stop?

No, he would rather set Gu Hai free, and suffer in silence, alone.

"Yin Za, what time? didn't he tell you?"

Yang Meng's urging voice dragged him out of his pool of thoughts. He composed himself seamlessly, and faked reassuring calmness. "I am not sure, you know how flights times are, it can always change according to the weather. But he will be here today, and will fix your limousine problem, so, stop worrying yourself about it."

Yang Meng stared at him for quite a while before he eventually nodded.

With his car keys clattering between his fingers, he left the apartment. Speeding through the highway, he dialed a certain someone who was extra enough to own a private plane, and a helicopter.
