They all met outside the Sakura Modeling Agency and the manager took the payments of the companions who were going to Palawan. They were all stunned when three big vans stopped in front of them and looked like a van used by famous celebrities.
"Xiaojie Chen, this is the van you sent here to take you to the airport." A black woman approach to her señorita and bowed to Lixue.
(Lady)
"Xiexie! Women zou ba." Lixue said and let his companions go first to Palawan.
(Thank you! Let's go.)
"This way, Xiaojie Chen and sir Shuji." the woman said in black pointing to a white van ahead.
The companions inside the black van looked at them.
"Wait a minute! Shuji must be my boyfriend here." Erika said when she peeked.
"This is the order of our master, the two of them will sit in the front." the woman answered in black to Erika.
Shuji looked at his girlfriend sadly. He also looked at Lixue with no reaction.
"If I am the one to follow and I will sit there," Shuji asked the girl in black.
The woman in black looked at Lixue with no reaction on her face.
"Leave him alone! Just don't tell daddy, and it's only now because he'll come with me when we return to Manila." Lixue said she just smiled at Shuji and his girlfriend Erika.
Everyone who noticed something in the van where they were riding wondered.
"Black Red theme inside the car, they treat Leatrice differently." the photographer said.
They all left without sleeping on the flight when they got to the airport. They were about to go to the Province Airline line when they were blocked, they turned to Lixue who walked to the side where the immigration is.
"Why aren't we checked in?" the photographer asked.
They followed Lixue who was walking ahead while Shuji just looked at Lixue.
"I have many questions for her now and I want to know who she is," Erika said to her boyfriend causing Shuji to look.
"Me too, she's a very mysterious woman," Hyo said to her cousin.
They were amazed when they saw the big plane and it was marked in mandarin language.
In Puerto Princesa City, Palawan
Someone came in their black clothes and took them to the exit door. Two cars were parked and they were given a ride before leaving for the island. They were just looking out the window while inside the big car.
"Are we going to the forest?" Hyo mentioned to everyone that the road they were passing was lined with trees.
"I don't know where we're going, only Lixue knows." the gay manager replied.
They saw a large arch with large trees on either side. Arch placed, Welcome to Sarah Mikaelle Resort and hotel.
"Are we really here? The resort is in a hidden place and their hotel is far away, you can't see the building but when you get close you can see it." the gay manager said.
The driver parked the van in the parking lot and let them down. They saw that the car did not stop where Lixue was.
"Mr. Shuji Liao, come." the woman in black said to Shuji as she approached.
"Why? Miss, my boyfriend and I came here together." Erika replied, the woman looked at her and then she was silent.
"I can leave you guys, maybe Lixue will tell me something, you know that she is my father's godchild," Shuji replied as he looked at his girlfriend with a sad face.
Shuji came along and they went inside where people were walking or standing and sitting. He met black people who bowed to him. Lixue looked at him from beside the lobby. His companions were behind him, wondering what they had found.
"Mr. Shuji and Xiaojie Chen, come on, they are waiting for us." said one of the old men in black.
(Lady)
"Here is your hotel room, this is your key room, room number 204-217." the woman said who approached their colleague.
"Where are they going and he won't come with us?" the gay manager asked.
"We will not go to your place to stay, manager because we will be staying in our old mansion and only Shuji was allowed by dad to come with me, I talked to dad last night and I did not force him in my explanation," Lixue replied and followed Shuji who was quietly behind him.
"He's my boyfriend, Lixue, I'm jealous of you, I'm going to think really bad feeling because it's just the two of you in the mansion you're talking about," Erika said as she passed Lixue and approached her boyfriend.
"Yes, you're jealous but I hope you trust your boyfriend, you have weak trust in him, don't trust me, trust him instead," Lixue said Erika was silent.
"She's right, darling you can trust me, I won't do anything you won't like," Shuji answered, he looked at his girlfriend and hugged her from behind.
Lixue looked away, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.
"Come on, Shuji let's go to the mansion." Lixue is called Shuji.
Shuji just nodded and he accompanied Lixue to the mansion. Erika was to follow his boyfriend she was blocked by black bodyguards.
"Do not follow them anymore, It is forbidden to follow or join them if our master does not allow it." the old man in black said.
"Come on! They'll be out later too." the gay manager said, frightened by the presence of the people in suits standing in the way.
"Why is it here on the wall?" Shuji asked Lixue.
"This is what you will press when you are here on the island and when you stay at the mansion, you will first talk to dad to agree to bring someone to the mansion depending on whether the person is close to the family," Lixue said to Shuji.
"On the wall?" Shuji said to Lixue.
"Secret pathway that only we should know, we can't tell others, dad trusts you and I'm telling you this, if you bring a friend with you, you should let him pass, I'll tell you that too," Lixue said to Shuji who was just listening to him.
Lixue pressed the secret button and something resembled the elevator. Lixue told Shuji the code just popped up. The wall opens and the door becomes the same color as the wall.
"The equipment here is high-tech?" Shuji asked as he followed Lixue.
Lixue walked until Shuji saw the big house.
"There is a house like this behind the resort and hotel," Shuji said immediately the person in black met them next and Lixue introduced him.
"Welcome to our new house." the people said in black.
"Yes, come I will show you your room and the training room that the godfather told you about," Lixue said to Shuji.
They went up the stairs and when they got to the second floor they went up to the third floor Lixue walked and pointed to the room where Shuji was staying.
"My room is here and my parent's room was there before but now it's not anymore and my sister's room is here," Lixue said.
"There are three more rooms there, what are they?" Shuji asked as he pointed to the three rooms he saw.
"Three master bedrooms for my sister and me, when we get married, my room will go, or her room will be our child's room," Lixue said as she opened the door of Shuji's room before leaving and entering her own room.
Shuji and Lixue exchanged clothes before leaving the room. They went out together and Lixue walked to the large gate covered with vegetation.
"This is the big gate that used to be the main gate, the outside of it is the main road that cars pass through outside, it is surrounded by vegetation, it is not noticeable that it is a big gate outside," Lixue said she opened the gate and the plants cleared Shuji just looking at the road.
"Is it far from Palawan City?" Shuji asked as he peeked outside the gate.
"Yes, the entrance to the resort and hotel attached to the mansion is far away," Lixue said to Shuji.
Lixue took Shuji to the door with a 'restricted area' sign outside. He opened the door and flipped the poster.
"Guests can only be allowed here because daddy trusts you, I said that," Lixue said.
"I suppose your daddy agreed to let me stay at your mansion while on vacation and Erika is with me, can I let her through the secret pathway?" Shuji asked.
"She not allowed or your friends is not allowed," Lixue answered.
Shuji was silent when Lixue said, he just looked at her as they walked.
"It's connected to the left side of the elevator near the lobby where the receptionist desk is right now I won't tell you where the training room in the mansion is, let's finish this photoshoot first," Lixue said to Shuji.
They walked to the elevator to find their fellow model, photographer, staff, and the manager on the second floor where they were staying.
"Darling, it's been a while since you came back, who are you really and where is your mansion?" Erika asked and kissed her boyfriend on his lips and hugged him.
Lixue didn't speak, Erika looked at her boyfriend who didn't speak.
"Their mansion far from here?" Erika asked her boyfriend.
"It's not far, darling," Shuji said to his girlfriend.
"In that case, you can stay here with us, we should be together, or you can take me to the mansion, is that possible, Lixue?" Erika asked her boyfriend and she looked at Lixue.
"I said earlier, my daddy doesn't allow you to stay in our mansion, my daddy's best friend is Shuji's Papa, so he's the only one allowed to stay in the mansion," Lixue answered Erika.
"Even if you're with us and you still know each other?" the photographer asked.
"It's not allowed, sir, because I will be punished if I don't obey, this is what was forbidden in our family for a long time when I last returned to the island," Lixue replied.
"Let's eat first before starting the photoshoot, the ocean view is beautiful, wear a one-piece or two-piece swimsuit." the gay manager said.
They ate at the restaurant recommended by Lixue. After they ate they returned to the hotel room Erika didn't want to let go of her boyfriend's hand.
"You'll meet again, just change your clothes, Erika." the gay manager said.
After a few hours, Lixue pointed to the beach with a beautiful view.
"Couple Months." the photographer answered.
The male models couldn't help but turn to the girls with them, especially Lixue.
Akatsuki whistled and Shuji hit him in the head.
"Aw! You already have Erika.. she's mine!" Akatsuki answered and rubbed his bruised head.
"Insane! She's Papa's godchild and you're in her family's territory, you saw those." Shuji said and pointed to those who picked up and blocked his girlfriend.
"Yes, by the way! They were so scared when they blocked Erika earlier that she wanted to go home because of fear but the manager calmed her down." Akatsuki replied to his friend.
"I'll talk to her later when I get her alone," Shuji replied to his friend.
The photographer took the women first before the men followed.
"Couple Of The Month." the photographer said happily.
The photographer called Akatsuki, Lixue, Erika, and Shuji. Shuji couldn't help but look at Lixue's face and body, he just looked away when his girlfriend's face turned to him. After a few hours of photoshoot, they all paddled out and some swam in the sea. Lixue was standing next to Akatsuki laughing at what her co-models were doing.
"It's relaxing with our rest here," Akatsuki said and he looked at Lixue and saw that there was sadness on her face.
Lixue didn't answer and swim into the sea.
After a few hours
They did not see Lixue go up to the sea and their manager called for help.
"Leatrice has not come out of the sea yet, ma'am, the one you call "Xiaojie Chen" the gay manager approaches the person he approached.
(Lady)
The male models panicked and swam and dived underwater to find Lixue. The head of the guard on the island approached Shuji who was followed by his companions.
"There is a road under the sea to the underwater compound, she might be there, don't worry about them." the old man whispered to Shuji causing him to look at it.
"It's inevitable because we don't know anything about—yeah, you said that Lixue is on the other island that's close to here, isn't it normal for us to worry," Shuji said as he looked at his companion.
"Because Miss Xiaojie Chen doesn't tell anyone where she's going." the old man said and looked at Shuji's companion.
(Lady)
They ate dinner without Lixue. Shuji also joined the men in black who picked him up after eating.
"I was just talking to my girlfriend," Shuji said.
The men in black nodded and their colleagues left them in their seats. After they talked, Shuji came and saw that his girlfriend was sad when she left. When they returned to the mansion he went straight to his room to rest and he couldn't wait for Lixue.
