"Do you have someone in your life whom you have fallen in love with and don't want to lose? Do you have someone with whom you want to spend the rest of your life?"
By the author.
Ximena looked at Aaron blankly for a while. Finally, she placed the chopsticks on her plate. With a smile, she said, "I'm full. I have to finalize the design sketch before leaving." She stood up and walked out of the tea room with an indifferent look on her face. She told herself that she wasn't fleeing after being defeated.
Aaron could not help but laugh silently.
The two of them had been living together for many years now. They were like an old married couple, but they had never experienced a dreamlike wedding which married couple enjoyed. He hadn't expected that it would be so difficult for a man as powerful as him to get married. He had cudgeled his brains to coax Ximena into marrying him, but failed.
While he was thinking about other ways to coerce her, a prompt message tone rang from his phone. Aaron quickly came back to reality. He took out his cellphone from his pocket and opened the message.
"Did she say yes? "
Aaron was a little annoyed when he saw the short message. He texted back, "She didn't, just as you had predicted."
When Brian read Aaron's short reply, a faint smile played at the corners of his mouth. His fingers ran through the keyboard of his cellphone quickly. In an instant, he sent another short message to Aaron. When Aaron read his message, he sighed.
Both of them had a long, difficult love story. Brian's relationship with Molly was about to have its happy ending with their wedding happening soon enough, despite having gone through more hardships than Aaron and Ximena. Was he weaker than Brian? He didn't think so.
Aaron frowned slightly. After eating his food silently only to fill his stomach, he left "Only Memory". He went directly to the tube-shaped building to settle the conflict before going to Leng's Corporations to work overtime.
After having lived a regular life for the past several years, he was remembered now as Aaron Leng, the CEO of Leng's Corporations. Most people had long forgotten that he was also His Highness, a being who controlled the dark world in QY Island. Nevertheless, His Highness was still the irreplaceable king of the underworld even though people no longer talked about him. He was, even at that moment, the domineering king who could control everything in QY Island.

With a roar, the airplane flew into the azure blue sky from the airport in QY Island. Sitting in her seat in the first-class cabin, Ximena was reading a fashion magazine while drinking a glass of wine. "Only Memory" had been launched at the Paris Fashion Week that year, creating quite a stir. So, she now received orders from not only QY Island, but also from other parts of the world as well. However, her original intention had not changed. Every dress she made would be unique.
She arrived at Dragon Island on the day before Molly's wedding. It was cloudless in Dragon Island, as if the sky had just been wiped clean.
