"So, you are abusing your power to bring us there?" Huo Qi Gang laughed.

"Yes and no. Huo Beauty Company is collaborating with us, and you and Meng Li are from Huo Beauty Company, so I am just bringing you two around Imperial Jade Palace to better understand us. Jin Sheng is our future fashion designer, so he is just getting used to Imperial Jade Palace earlier. As for Bo Chuan… Let's just count him as a future artist, just like Meng Li."

"Wait! What?! Me?!"

"Artists?!"

Huo Meng Li and Jing Bo Chuan asked in astonishment.

"Mhm."

"What?!"

"You guys will know in the future."

Imperial Jade Palace.

"What do you want to do first?"

"Basketball."

"Alright, let's go to the basketball court then," Mo Xi said as she tapped her card on the scanner to enter the Exercise Block.

Mo Xi passed each of them a set of clothes for them to wear while they play instead of the clothes they originally wore.

After they warmed up, they started to play.

Huo Qi Gang and Mo Xi in one team and the others in the other team.

The sound of shoes rubbing against the floor resonated in the basketball court.

During the game, Huo Qi Gang ran with all his might as he tried to vent all his emotions out. He ran, jumped, banged and rolled.

2 hours later.

When the game ended, all of them were sweating and panting, especially Huo Qi Gang. The anger within him lifted slightly after venting it all out.

They then went to shower before they moved to the karaoke room and Huo Meng Li and Jing Bo Chuan tried very hard to sing happy and exciting songs to cheer Huo Qi Gang up.

"Second brother, do you want to drink?" Mo Xi asked.

"Sure."

"Two whiskey shots, one glass of red wine and two glasses of warm milk, bring five sets of steak as well." Mo Xi ordered.

"Yes, Boss."

"Why did you order warm milk for the two of us? Can't we drink a little?" Jing Bo Chuan asked.

"No. Warm milk can help the two of you sleep better later."

Jing Bo Chuan sulked a little as he thought he could get to drink a little bit of alcohol tonight.

"All of us haven't had our dinner, it is very important to eat properly and regularly. Most importantly, since we are going to drink, our stomachs need to be slightly filled," Mo Xi then turned to Huo Qi Gang to explain.

"Mm, ok."

The steaks were served very quickly and after they finished the steak, Huo Qi Gang decided to sing. However, the songs that he chose clearly showed how he was feeling. After singing while crying, Huo Qi Gang then sat down and downed the whiskey shots.

Huo Meng Li and Jing Bo Chuan drank their warm milk while Mo Xi drank her whiskey shot and Lu Jin Sheng drank his red wine.

Lu Jin Sheng hadn't drunk any alcohol before since his body was weak in the past, hence his alcohol tolerance level was quite low. He got drunk only after drinking half the glass of red wine.

Huo Qi Gang and Mo Xi, on the other hand, had a higher alcohol tolerance level, hence they didn't get drunk even after drinking three shots of whiskey. As they were drinking, Huo Qi Gang then told her everything about him and Ling Jing Yi.

"Perhaps you two are destined to meet but not fated to be together. Although what she did was wrong and unforgivable, she was afterall uninformed about her own health and didn't know why you did what you did. As her husband, though you love her a lot and spent all the free time you have with her, you carried the responsibilities as a successor to Huo Beauty Company more than a husband. Hence, she probably felt that you don't see her as important and that you don't love her. Trust and honesty are the most important things in a marriage, but you weren't honest with her and she didn't trust you enough. Furthermore, I think this failed marriage may not be a bad thing for both of you, you two learned something from it and each of your destined partners is probably someone else. I could tell that Hai Long truly loves her, if not he wouldn't have brought her away even when you two were quarreling. If he didn't love her, he would have just left her alone when you two were talking heatedly…"

Mo Xi talked to him and comforted him and after a long while, he felt that his heart hurt a little lesser. He was feeling slightly better after all these and especially after listening to Mo Xi, but he still continued to drink because it still hurts.

Huo Qi Gang eventually got drunk on the fourth shot.

Mo Xi then asked Jing Bo Chuan and Huo Meng Li to bring Huo Qi Gang to one of the apartments, whereas she brought Lu Jin Sheng to the apartment. The apartment was similar to the one 'Heartbeat' lived in, hence there were multiple bedrooms in it.

Mo Xi stayed in the apartment with them as she was worried about them.

The next morning, hangover soups and breakfast were sent to the apartment they were in as ordered by Mo Xi.

Mo Xi, Huo Meng Li, and Jing Bo Chuan ate first since they woke up earlier. As they were eating, Huo Qi Gang and Lu Jin Sheng then woke up.

"How are you two feeling?" Mo Xi asked Huo Qi Gang and Lu Jin Sheng.

Huo Qi Gang's hangover was rather bad, hence his head hurt a lot more compared to Lu Jin Sheng.

"I'm ok, I guess?"

"I'm fine."

Mo Xi chuckled, "I have gotten people to bring some new clothes and toothbrushes. Go and wash up and have some of the hangover soup and your breakfast."

"Mm… Thanks"

"Thanks."

After they washed up, they sat down to have their breakfast.

"Brother are you interested in designing the clothes for 'Heartbeat'?"
