1 Prologue

Xiaobai... 

Xiaobai...

Xiaobai...

The young woman in her 20's tossed and turned on the bed, eyes still closed and even with the cold room she is profusely sweating and then she gasped and suddenly, she opened her eyes. She darted up and sat on the bed. The woman touched her forehead and wiped the sweat away.

She touched her chest and it bewildered her that her heartaches. Then she shook her head. She loudly sighed. The woman checked the clock on her side table and sighed again seeing it's still 2 am. She fell back on her wide bed and just stared at the ceiling. She doesn't understand what her dreams meant.

She always saw a back of a man with long white-silver hair. In her dreams, she always chased this person but to no avail.  The more she chases him,  the more her heart ached and the more the person is going far away from her. She felt that she had always known this person like forever.

She started dreaming of him when she was still 10 and as she got older, the man on her dreams always call her Xiaobai. But she never ever get the chance of seeing his face.

Still staring at the ceiling, her phone rang. She scrambled and looked for her phone. When she found it under her pillow, she looked at the screen and saw it was her father calling, she sighed again knowing she'll get another round of earful from him. Here goes nothing. She thought and hit the answer button,

"Hello? " in a soft whisper.

"Bai Feng Jiu! What the heck did you do that your name will be on tabloids on the morning?!" it was the voice of her father on the other line, as usual voice raised and she can imagine, frowning.

Feng Jiu frowned and took her phone away from her ear. She just rolled her eyes. But still replied,

"I really don't know what I did this time father. Nor I am interested. The tabloids and paparazzi are getting bolder and bolder these days."

she said in her normal tone waited for her father's reply. She heard her father sighed loudly on the other line. She bit her lip, feeling guilty. She doesn't want to stress out her family but what can she do when the media are always interested in the smallest and boring things she does.

She, Bai Feng Jiu is the only grandchild and the 3rd generation of the Bai Clan. Her family owns one of the two biggest business conglomerate in the country. Naturally, people will be more interested in her since she graces both the business and fashion magazines and is always present at the glitzy gala and glamorous parties held by the Richy rich.

People dubbed her like the little princess but she doesn't really think so. She is alone in her apartment with no maid or driver. She is living an independent life. She is a rising fashion designer and an icon.

Then her father spoke again on the phone,

"You're grandfather is asking you to come home. If not, he'll send your aunt Qian-Qian to drag you back here if it comes to that. "

Feng Jiu bit her well-manicured fingernails. Not aunt Qian-Qian. She wanted to protest. No doubt she loves both her parents and grandparents but it is different when it is her aunt they are talking about. Feng Jiu defeatedly sighed and replied,

"Okay, father. I am coming home but give me two days to finish my work before I leave okay? "

"Hmm. " the only reply of her father but before they ended the call,

"By the way Feng jiu, before I forgot, your grandfather will send you the private plane for you to surely come home. "

Feng jiu sighed again and replied,

"Yes, father. I will definitely come home with or without the private plane. "

Then her father ended the call. Feng jiu tossed her phone on the bed and went to her window. She stared at the view in front of her. She realized, her independent and alone days are nearly ending. She will be going back to her country and follow the family. She'll inherit one of the 8 corporations her family has owned.

Feng Jiu looked at the view outside and sighed. She tried steering away from her family's fortune but as long as she's bearing the BAI family name, she cannot escape her family's shadow.

Feng Jiu decided to stop thinking of her family and abide by the saying Whatever happens, it'll definitely happen.  Feng Jiu let fate decide everything for her since her independence and her future looks bleak.

Then her thoughts went back to her dreams. 10 years of continuously dreaming of the back of a guy with silver-white long hair and calling her Xiaobai repeatedly. Feng Jiu is a die-hard believer of fate or destiny but not of reincarnation. Then she whispered,

"Who are you? Why are you in my dreams and kept on calling me Xiaobai? "

Feng Jiu wondered and sighed again. She decided to go back to bed and catch some z's before daybreak comes.
