Another Bad Boy Down

The next day, I woke up as I heard my alarm clock ring. With great effort, I wiggled my body on top of my bed towards the bed side table. I forcefully pressed the red button on top of the alarm clock with my right palm making it fall to the floor. I am really not fond of alarm clocks so I always treat them harshly. Silence then again engulfed my room, but that peace and quiet did not last long.

Three light knocks sounded, echoing inside the room. I pulled a pillow and placed it on top of my face. Ughh... Why won't they just let me sleep for a few more hours? I really am tired, I feel drained after my battle with the devil.

I heard my door open and light foot steps followed. " Good morning Young Miss, the Madame instructed me to wake you up. She said that you must be in the dining room within 20 minutes." Julia said in a calm tone of voice.

Grrrr.... I can't ignore my mother's command so with great hardship, I dragged myself out of bed and groggily went towards the bathroom for my morning ritual.

After 10 minutes, I stepped out of the bathroom and headed towards my vanity table to blow dry my hair. I am busy drying my hair when Julia slowly walked towards me and carefully handed out my cellular phone. "Thanks. Place it on the table please." I said to her as I brushed my hair.

Hmm... why does it feels like I'm forgetting something? Oh well, it must not be that important. I will surely remember it later.

I then headed towards the dining area where my mother and father are already seated. I greeted them good morning and proceeded on eating my breakfast with them. Qian is nowhere in sight, he must still be outside with his friend or something.

We chatted as we ate, our topics are anything under the sun. We talked about fashion, economics and even politics My mother is the bubbly expressive type while my father is the rock cold quiet type so mostly the voices that can be heard inside the room is that of mine and my mother's melodious voice.

Other elite personalities might treat our habit of talking while having our meal, rude and unmannered but for us this is called bonding. Besides, we are not talking while our mouths are full so we still have manners.

I found out that Qian is currently doing a live stream broadcast in Videogram inside his room. Videogram is a popular app that idols use to communicate to their fans. My brother is probably boasting about how cool and humble his room looks like. If they only know that he only uses that room once in a blue moon. Their eyes would pop out of their sockets once they see his gazillion collection of shoes and video games in his villa at M country.

My brother is annoying and stubborn at times but I do respect his seriousness when it comes to his career and managing our family business. He may only be helping our father at the moment but he is not letting his career as an entertainer affect his current position in my family's company. But again he is still annoying.. Very annoying.

Qian and my parents will leave this evening. I don't know when they will have the time to come home next time but I do appreciate their effort in maintaining our family's status in society.

I have accepted a long time ago that my family will never be a normal one. That I will have to live my life independently. I have to be strong and understanding at the same time. Wishing of being a commoner never crossed my mind, because my status as the biological young miss of the tan family or the adopted young miss of the tan family are both identities that I am proud of. With my family's status and wealth we are able to help those in need. We are able to give and protect those who are in need. One day, I will also make a name of my own.

My day continued smoothly. Father and Mother again did their betting game like they usually do. I stayed in the garden, reading novels that my mother and some other authors wrote together. The title of the book is 'Paths'. It is a book with 5 different stories but only has 1 heroine. It is interesting how she lives her life in every Path she takes.

I am so engrossed in what I am reading that I didn't realize the time. By the time I finished reading the whole book it is already dark. The lanterns in the garden were all switched on including the lights inside the pavilion that I am in right now.

I stretched my body, I didn't feel anything earlier but now I can tell how stiff my body has become. I am currently rotating my hips when Julia came running towards me. She is still panting when she said to me that my parents are about to go together with Qian. I quickly run towards the front door of the mansion to bid my farewell to them.

I hugged my father and mother, I told them to take care and to not to only call me whenever they have a bet. I am their only daughter, they should check up on me personally not because of their weird betting game.

Qian then gave me a bear hug. I told him not to let his guard down and to not be over confident when going out alone. Which my mother seconded. I told him that I know what I am doing so he should not worry about me and Vincent any longer. Anyway, we are just friends truly just friends.

All the servants are in the entryway bowing in respect to my parents and to the young master of the house as they also wish them good health and a safe trip. I watched as their cars disappear out of my sight.

I turned around ready to leave and go to my room when Mr. Yan respectfully bowed his head to me and said " Young Miss, Young Master Yuan's people came earlier bringing 2 sealed boxes. I already had it scanned, it seems like the two boxes are full of clothes." Mr. Yan then signalled for the two young manservants to come closer for me to see the boxes that they are carrying.
