De Longjun read the invitation carefully. Japan... He smiled.
The invitation was only for heir of De family and grandfather De as the eldest member of the family. The real coming of age ceremony is scheduled after the successful assignment.

Next day he reached the family home. After spending time with his family members, De Longjun, his father and his grandfather sat in the study.
"De Longjun got the invitation son." Elder De informed De Yating.
"Oh!! Is it!! Congratulations my son!!" De Yating stood up and hugged De Longjun.
"Thank you. Dad!!"
"So when is the ceremony?!" He asked.
"Next month." De Longjun answered.
"Mm..."
"Grandson. The assignment won't be known untill you reach there. So are you ready to accept the invitation?!" Elder De asked.
"Yes. Grandpa. As the heir of De family, it is an honour to be part of the assignment."
"Good. Then you should send the replay. And we will be there for the coming of age ceremony." De Yating smiled.
"Yes dad."
The short discussion was ended with a hearty family dinner.

One month later.
The landline rang in the office.
Secretary Li took the call. After listening to sometime, he looked at De Longjun. "Sir! You have a call from miss Zan." He informed.
De Longjun was having a meeting so his phone was silent.
"Tell her to wait in school. I will pick her up." He looked at his watch and instructed.
"Yes Mr De." Secretary Li politely nodded and relayed it to the land phone. "Okay. Miss Zan. I will let Mr De know." He hung up the call. "Miss Zan said she will wait for you."
"Okay." De Longjun nodded. "Now continue..." He looked at the staff member who was doing a PowerPoint presentation.

"Big brother Jun!!" Zan Guiying sat inside the silver bently and hugged De Longjun. "Where you busy today too?!" She asked.
"Yes." He answered and ruffled her hair. "Did your friend leave?!" He asked.
"Yes. She had left." Zan Guiying nodded. "So... To your home, right?!"
"Yes. And I have to inform you something."
"What?!"
"I will be going on a buisness trip on Japan. So you won't be able to visit the villa untill I call you." He said.
"Oh!! Is?! But aunt Huo make some amazing tarts!! I want to visit her from time to time to eat her desserts!!" She complained.
"But she won't be there untill I get back. So you should wait. And.... Your chef also makes amazing food. Are you telling me the truth.....?!"
"About what?!" She caught off guard.
"About your love for Mrs Huo's cooking.... Don't you want to use my villa as a secret hideout?!" He smirked.
How can you know that?! She pouted.... And the giggled.... "I won't tell!!" She blushed. "I know I can't bring my friends to your villa."
"Good."
"So when are you leaving?!"
"Coming saturday." He answered. "You can spend this friday with me as usual."

Saturday.
De Longjun buttoned up his shirt. She won't be woke up by now. He looked at him watch. Four o'clock. He came out of his room and opened Zan Guiying's room door. Like he thought, she was still sleeping soundlessly. "Yingying... Wake up..." He slowly called her.
"Mm...." She groggily woke up.
"I am leaving now.... I will call you later... Okay?!"
"Mm... Okay..." She yawned and hugged him. "See you later...."
He smiled and kissed her hair.
Zan Guiying closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
He closed the door and left.
Outside, secretary Li is waiting. "Good morning. Mr De."
"Good morning."
"We can start now." He instructed.
The car started and drove towards the airport.
***
Did he leave? Zan Guiying opened her eyes. He must have.... She walked out of the room and opened De Longjun's room door. She remembered he came to her room when she was half asleep. She looked at the empty bed and smiled. She moved her body and fell on his bed. Smelling De Longjun's scent, Zan Guiying closed her eyes contently...

The private plane touched the runway of Tokyo international airport.
De Longjun and secretary Li came out of the plane. Secretary Li is capable. He knows how to keep his mouth shut. He was one who personally vetted by De Longjun. So secretary Li know most of the things happening around De Longjun.
There was a series of cars waiting outside for them. "Welcome to Japan Mr De. A servant from Fujii household greeted them. "Thank you."
"Please get inside the car. Fujii family is waiting for you." He said.
They got inside in the car which opened doors for them.
The car rode to Fujii household.

When they reached there, the elders of Fujii clan is waiting for them.
"Good morning Mr De." All of them greeted De Longjun.
"Good morning elders." He greeted them back.
"Please come inside."
Along with the elders, De Longjun also walked into the house. There were priceless paintings hanging on the wall with some sword displays. There were a photo corner.
De Longjun stopped and looked at them. There were all his forefathers with them Fujii clan.
"Its our forefathers. Let me explain it to you." One of the elder started.
De Longjun listened to them seriously.
"Please come and drink some tea."
They sat in the tea table and shared tea. After that there was a small house tour for bothe De Longjun and Secretary Li.
Secretary Li was so surprised that he asked so many questions. The elder answered for all of them cheerfully. He was happy getting a good listener.
"Please take rest now. We would meet during lunch time." After walking De Longjun to his room, the elder left.
***
Like the elder said, every Fujii elders attended the lunch.
One of the staff came and muttered something to the elders ear. He nodded.
The door opened and a boy came inside and stood infront of him.
"Mr De. Meet Fujii Renshu. Our heir."
De Longjun smiled and looked at the boy...
The boy looked back.....
