Last night, while Shuji was sitting and talking to his father about what he found out. He accidentally heard Lixue and Drick talking on the couch.
"It shouldn't be, he should meet me on Saturday," Drick said to Lixue who was next to him.
"It was too early because he accidentally caught us in my room," Lixue said.
"Fortunately, even though we didn't finish what we did because they interrupted him, he still approved what I showed him," Drick answered.
"Some model got sick so they needed me," Lixue replied.
"Why did you work as a model? By the way, you already told me that your apartment burned down, how unlucky you are." Drick said.
"I'm so unlucky, Drick! All my things are fine, they're not there, only a few things were burned." Lixue said.
"I was wondering when your apartment burned down, only a few were affected by the fire, but your apartment was more damaged, well your landlord understood the situation, she didn't even pay you, she just kicked you out," Drick replied.
Lixue couldn't answer what Drick said.
"How can she teach me with that body? I'll just go to the gym, Papa." Shuji said to his father when he turned his gaze again.
"Don't give Lixue that look, she's stronger than Drick," Raiden said to his son.
"Lixue, next month teach Shuji basic self-defense while I'm gone and take him to your practice place," Raiden said to his godchild.
"Are you sure? Ninong, you know that only you and my family can be there." Lixue said to her godfather Raiden.
"There is nothing we can do, he should know that because the complete equipment is there," Raiden said to his godchild.
"What are you talking about? Papa-Lixue?" Shuji replied to his father and Lixue.
"Shuji, talk to the entire production agency or our manager at Sakura Modeling including the photographer to find a view for our Valentine theme in the magazine other than yesterday," Lixue said as she looked at Shuji after standing up.
"What do you mean, and what are you saying?" Shuji said he was curious about Lixue's actions.
"Because, I will take you to where your Papa said, so you can train properly and we can make an alibi for them to come with us, you can't be alone without dad's permission," Lixue said to Shuji.
"Just the two of you? How about me?" Drick replied.
"You will be left here, hijo, you will watch every move of Mr. Don Emilio and his daughter Aiya Gayag," Raiden replied.
"Where are we going to train?" Shuji asked Lixue.
"On my family's island, Shuji, we have a resort and hotel there, they can make reservations with the manager that dad manages," Lixue said to Shuji.
"No one ever knows who the owner of the island is except their business partner, so you should not tell them that, son forbidden from Leatrice's family," Raiden replied to his son.
After the conversation, Raiden invited his son, Lixue, and Drick to eat before returning home.
Shuji saw Lixue talking to his father. Shuji slowly walked closer to his father and Lixue.
"I'll call daddy now," Lixue said to her godfather Raiden.
Shuji saw that Lixue held up a cellphone and held it to her ear.
"Do you still have a load?" Raiden asked his godchild.
"Shi de, ninong," Lixue replied to her godfather Raiden.
(Yes)
Calling...
Calling...
Lixue: Hai, baba, nin zai zuo shenme?
(Hi, dad are you doing something?)
Jiang: You called me this morning, I haven't been doing anything since I just woke up.
Lixue: Ah! Women keyi liaotian er ma? Zhiyou ni, ni hai zai he ni de qizi zai yiqi ma?
(Ah! Can I talk to you? Just you, are you still with your wife?)
Jiang: Shi de, wo shuo ta jia lu yu, dan nin shuo putonghua shi nin de peiban ma? Haishi qita ren?
(Yes, I speak Tagalog but you speak Mandarin is someone else with you? Or someone else?)
Lixue: Yes, it's about the island can I bring other people inside?
Jiang: It's about a mansion? What's happening?
Lixue: Shi de, wo bixu jiao wo zhangfu jiben de ziwo fangwei, youren genzong ta yi fang wan yi chanrao zhe dui ta he ta de nuyou zuole yixie shiqing, ta hui wei ziji bianhu.
(Yes, I have to teach my husband basic self-defense, someone stalked him just in case, the stalker did something to him and his girlfriend, he would defend himself.)
Jiang: What? You haven't flirted with him yet?
Lixue: Not yet, dad I'd rather be willing than forced.
Jiang: You should be pregnant before your birthday because then your child will get the strongest power.
Lixue heard her stepmother talk to her father so she lost the line.
Lixue: Dad? We have other people with us.
Jiang: I agree to bring home my future son in law, not his friends that you will bring with you.
Lixue: Okay, dad I will follow.
"What did River say?" Raiden asked his godchild.
"Dad agreed, ninong but not inside, they will be left at the resort and they will stay there," Lixue said to her godfather Raiden.
"Where are we staying?" Shuji replied as he got closer.
"The two of us will stay in our mansion, except for them, my daddy didn't agree so they will stay in the hotel," Lixue said to Shuji when he looked.
"It's just the two of us in the mansion, and why not them too, they'll wonder about that," replied Shuji.
"It is not allowed and it is forbidden for other people to enter unless the owner of the island, my dad, agrees and even I inform my dad so that my friend can enter the mansion, the management of the mansion has changed since the death of mommy and my sister," Lixue replied.
"What's our alibi?" Shuji said to Lixue.
"I'll take care of the alibi," Lixue replied and went back to the room to take a shower.
Shuji and Lixue were quiet. They left the house to go to the Sakura Modeling Agency and told the alibi and they could go to the island.
"Alright, where is the island with the hotel and resort?" the gay manager asked Shuji and Lixue.
"It's in Palawan, manager it's my mommy's island, it's not mine but my parents found it when mommy was alive," Lixue said to everyone.
"We did not do well, because we lacked the model yesterday so now that we are complete tomorrow morning we will leave for Palawan with Lixue as our tour guide." the gay manager said.
"How many days are we on our island?" Lixue asked the gay manager.
"Five days is enough so that we can spend two more days there in Palawan." the gay manager answered them all.
Everyone was pleased with what he heard. Other models are excited about the trip to Palawan where they are going.
"We're not going to do anything today, get ready for tomorrow, give me P3,000 per person, if you're going to bring someone with you, only one person should pay P4,000, come to my house so I can find out who's really coming to Palawan, I don't want back-out everyone should come here and you too, Leatrice, even if the island is your family, you will still pay how much for the hotel room?" asked the gay manager.
"The big room with four beds is P4,659 because there is a couch and TV inside if you get the one with one bed but the room is big P2,741 per room if it's really small only 1,000 if it's like a VIP suite will take P10,000," Lixue replied.
Lixue's companions inside the studio were stunned when they found out the price of the hotel they would be staying at.
"50 models plus 3 staff plus 2 of us, the manager and 3 of the photographers equal 58 of us." the gay manager's assistant said.
"Isn't there a discount there, you know us, Lixue." the photographer replied.
"15%," Lixue replied.
"If we pay 4,659 times 15% equals 698.85, tell me how much you will include?" the gay manager asked.
"The three of us will come along. I will first deposit the money of my two companions, 11,096.55. This is our payment. I have money in my wallet. List the people who will come and pay so we know." said the photographer.
"Of the two of my cousin's 7,397.7, he said he will pay me half later, you darling?" Erika asked her boyfriend.
"I'll just give it tomorrow, I don't have a lot of money in my bag," Shuji said to his girlfriend.
"Don't include Shuji, and me too because he will be staying for free, my daddy said," Lixue answered the gay manager.
The manager was silent on what Lixue said. Lixue also asked, when would they leave Manila for a trip to Palawan.
"5 o'clock in the morning we should be here at 4 o'clock in the morning I will get a promo ticket from the airlines." said the gay manager.
"Don't do that, I'll take care of that, it's free as long as we meet here, someone will pick us up and we'll go to Olongapo City and there we'll board an airplane to Palawan, not to NAIA, we're going tomorrow," Lixue replied.
Lixue told everyone that his Uncle Lei was the airline they were going to in Olongapo even with his family. Everyone agreed and looked at Lixue. Erika, Hyo, and Akatsuki are still in doubt and still thinking about her personality. A few minutes later they all left and went home to their respective houses.
