*Wow...the rain is pouring so gently outside* (thinking to herself). Fān stares out the window, her face refined with a slight smile. She looks through the mail thrown on the nightstand in her bedroom. Coming across a letter with Chinese characters on it...she stares blankly at it, and decides to open it. (Reading the letter)
"Hello my love, how are you? I just wanted you to know that I've missed you dearly, and don't appreciate our lack of communication. I know you get my letters so would it kill you to write back?You know I'm a very busy man. But I'll never be too busy because I am a family man first. Which reminds me I forgot to mention I have some business to handle in the states so, I'll be there on the 20th to see my beautiful princess Yī. I don't like how you've been keeping her from me, a girl must have a father in her life! Well until then my love♡
Sincerely, Delun."Fān runs to call her sister upstairs. "Jiao please come upstairs, we need to talk." Jiao looks at Yī and tells her she'll be right back as she walks upstairs. (After Jiao reads the letter) "Fān what do you need me to do?" Jiao says to her sister. "Please whatever you do take Yī faraway from our home. She doesn't need to know the kind of man her father is." Fān said with sorrow in her face and worry in her eyes. Jiao nods and carries out the request, telling Yī its an early birthday adventure. (Yī's birthday is the 25th of March)
Hours have passed since Jiao left with Yī...there is a knock at the door. Fān answers it and in walks two tall men in suits. "Well if it isn't my sweet love Fān Fān" says Delun as he emerges from behind the two men. "Where is my princess?" "Faraway from here with Jiao" Fān said scolding at him. Delun tries to kiss Fān and she spits in his face. Delun looked at Fān with a devilish smile and wiped the spit from his face saying "Oh Fān Fān I guess we're playing naughty now."
