From Dusk till Dawn!

"Don't show yourself unless and until the situation is life-threatening. You all must blend in the crowd well."

The bodyguard hesitated, "But Young Miss…"

She sighed, "You know the royal protocols."

The man put his hand on his chest. Usually, he would have knelt before her but she mentioned that they had to blend inside the crowd. According to the royal protocol, they must obey the person they are working under. 

They were working under Tang Li and that meant every word that came out of her mouth, they are bound to follow it. 

"Leave." She commanded and the man swiftly walked away and she could not even see his shadow anymore.

Tang Li did not want to be so harsh with them but it was the only way to stop them. Initially, she did not want to dispatch them to protect her but she did not want Li Yu to hover around her. Although that guy was extremely loyal and he would even protect her at the cost of his own life but he had to have an extremely annoying mouth. 

And these days, her mood swings were extreme. Maybe Mo Yuhan had made her crazy. So, rather than doing something impulsive or slapping Li Yu again, Tang Li felt it was best for her to keep him at a distance.

As for her team of bodyguards, she stopped them because they would capture an ant if it tried to walk beneath her foot. Because of this attitude, they would end up being so high-profile and she did not want to cause further troubles for Mo Yuhan.

She walked inside the gift store and the trio was still busy talking to the store manager. 

'Is the store manager someone reliable? Can I approach Mo Yuhan in his presence?' she shook her head. She just knew that Ye Jie was Mo Yuhan's friend. As for Ethan, she did not know much about him but she felt that the guy could be trusted.

Tang Li decided to wait until they finished talking with the store manager. Just as she was looking around the store, her gaze landed on a beautiful calligraphy brush stored inside a glass. The exquisite carvings caught her attention and she picked up the glass box. 

Her grandfather was very fond of such things. As she looked around, there were many similar things that the old man would obviously like. She looked back at Mo Yuhan and he was still talking to the store manager so she continued looking at those things.

"Tuff, be well behaved later okay? We need your help," Ye Lan walked inside the store with the chained dog.

As soon she spotted Mo Yuhan and the rest, she immediately walked towards them together with the bloodhound. 

But before she could reach there, from the corner of her eyes, she noticed a familiar figure. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw Tang Li. Did this woman stalk Brother Mo till here?

She scoffed, disdain apparent in her eyes when she saw those expensive calligraphy brushes in Tang Li's hand. Those would probably cost in 6-digits or even more. Can she even afford that?

Tang Li was dressed very casually in a plain black T-shirt and denim jeans together with black heels. Her long wavy hair was straightened and tied up in a high ponytail. Her face was bare without any makeup but she was glowing as usual. After a relaxing day in the spa, she appeared very laid-back and gave off a tranquil vibe.

Ye Lan gritted her teeth, feeling somewhat jealous. Just because the woman is young and beautiful, did she think that she can seduce Brother Mo? Brother Mo is not a shallow person, he would never look at this woman no matter how gorgeous she was, she thought to herself.

But little did she know that Tang Li was around her age. It's just that her youthful look and well-maintained figure made it impossible for anyone to guess her real age.

Yesterday, she did not get a chance to teach this bitch a lesson but right now was her opportunity. Trying to hit on her Brother Mo? How daring of her!

Tang Li put both glass boxes in her hand aside and picked up another glass box. There was a label on top of it that read 'Xuan Ink brush'. Wasn't it said to be one of the rarest and popular brushes in China? 

Seems like the owner of this store is of Chinese origin because things from there will not usually appear in the States unless someone ordered it or the owner has a fondness towards something.

Marveling at the sight of an elaborated brown-haired calligraphy brush, she decided to take it for her Grandpa. The old man would be very pleased with it….

"Woof.." 

The sudden loud bark startled her causing the glass box in her hand to fall on the floor along with her purse. The glass broke into pieces and the tip of the exquisite brush broke.

Tang Li turned around to look only to be met with a face she did not expect to see here today. When she found Mo Yuhan earlier inside the mall, she did not see Ye Lan and it brought a small sense of relief in her heart, knowing that she would not be hearing 'Brother Mo this…Brother Mo that..'.

But she had not expected Ye Lan would be coming here to join them later. Looking at the fierce-looking chained dog that startled her earlier, Tang Li did not find it a coincidence. This woman, Ye Lan, treated her like an enemy. But why would she do this? Destroying a mere calligraphy brush….what did she gain by that?

What she did not know was that the matter about her having a special access card that allowed her to go anywhere she wanted in States was not known to anyone. When she went to that bar, she was stopped by Ethan's men only both of them knew about her ultimate power in America after she flashed her card in front of them.

But they did not get to mention it to Ethan as they had to leave for a mission in urgency.
