That morning, Qiu Wen drove her home to change before driving her to the restaurant. He was glad that Jia Yi's preparation of them using the back door had diverted attention and they managed to drive home smoothly.

Despite so, Francesca was already plotting against them. She had gone through the list of clients beforehand and made arrangements for Qiu Wen to head out for an outstation meeting with one order in particular. It was a client who was an old real estate acquaintance she was familiar with.

With that, Francesca went back to the hotel and diverted the reporters to Xue Ting's restaurant instead. Despite the restraining order Qiu Wen had imposed on her, she had her ways. She did not hesitate to bribe each reporter to sit at Jang's Cove restaurant and do nothing. Not even ordering anything.

As for Qiu Wen, he was annoyed at the arrangement made by Francesca when Jia Yi informed him. As he dreaded the trip which was the next day, in rebel, he decided to take the day off after lunch and accompany Xue Ting instead. In his mind, he did not know if he could make it sleeping without Xue Ting by his side each night.

At first, Xue Ting thought the reporters were really upset about last night that she gave them free-flow coffee. However, it was strange that they had not been asking her any questions and it was worrying her that they were still occupying the whole restaurant cause it was close to lunch hour.

"Hello, do you want to order anything?" She tried asking a reporter while refilling his coffee as he shook his head.

Xue Ting walked to the next table asking the same question but the reporter also shook her head. It made her feel something was amidst as she gave it another try.

"Hey, any one of you have any questions for me? I'm open to answering. Come…" All of them just continue to sit at their own table quietly. It was getting on her nerves as Macy approached her.

"Xue Ting, what should we do? We will run out of business today this way…" Macy lamented as Xue Ting sighed noticing something was off. Even their neighboring shops' assistants and owners were concerned with what was going on.

"Try to encourage takeaways for now." Xue Ting told Macy while an idea was slowly forming in her mind. She was not sure if it would offend the reporters more. However, she knew she had no choice but to give it a try.

"Macy, could you call the police and direct them to the end of the huge tree? But wait till I call you later." Xue Ting whispered her instructions.

"Wait, what? What are you doing?" Macy panicked as Xue Ting grabbed her phone, a loudspeaker, a bunch of old keys, and a chair.

"Watch me. Wait for my call." She winked at Macy as she clapped her hands to attract everyone's attraction.

"Hey, everyone, come let me host you in somewhere more comfy. I have some juicy news for all of you! Just grab all your stuff and follow me!" She announced cheerfully as she started to walk all the way to a huge tree that was gated. It was part of Jang's Cove land but due to financial constraints, the cafe never expanded to the yard yet. The reporters were skeptical at first but since she was promising them some big news they could not resist.

This must be that woman's idea again. Hmph, let me show you how well this would go. Xue Ting thought to herself as she opened the gate and invited all the reporters into the yard.

"Go ahead. Come, come gather inside under the tree. Take some shade." She ushered one by one as each reporter obeyed her and prepared their equipment to take on her live interview.

She called Macy the moment everyone was under the tree. "Alright, time to call them." She instructed before hanging up.

Macy instantly called up the police while Xiao Ji picked up the restaurant phone to find Qiu Wen over the line.

"Hello? Is Xue Ting there?" He asked worriedly. "Is this Ryan?" Xiao Ji asked as Macy ran over while making a report over the phone.

"Yes! What's going on? I could see Xue Ting live on television. What happened?" Qiu Wen questioned as Macy took over after hanging up. She then explained the whole situation including the police report she just made. Their conversation halted halfway when Xue Ting began to speak live on the broadcast.

Xue Ting locked up the gate thereafter despite some reporters protesting. "Watch it, you're on live television!" She reminded as she stood on the chair with the loudspeaker.

"Ah ah, testing testing…" She said over the loudspeaker.

"So, here's the big announcement…" She said over the loudspeaker ensuring they were showing her live on television.

A smirk appeared on her face. "Were you all enjoying your whole morning over free coffee? Haven't I offered to take your questions but no one is asking? Is there someone bribing you all? If none of you are answering, then don't blame me for reporting all of you for disrupting business illegally." She announced as she noticed several of them quickly stop recording.

"Oh, oh go on record… I haven't told you the big news yet…" She coaxed as some reporters were skeptical, embarrassed, and scared.

"No one is answering? Then why should I tell you the big news?" She folded her arms when they all heard the police's siren.

An officer alighted and ran to the reporters instead of her. "Hello! I was the one making the report!" She said over the loudspeaker as a few officers turned to her.

"What's going on ma'am?" An officer questioned as she came down from the chair.

"I'm suing these bunch of reporters for disrupting my restaurant's business. They have been sitting the whole morning not asking me any questions or making any orders. I know, I know you need proof. Check the CCTV in the restaurant. Meanwhile, I will keep them here while you verify. I can come with you." Xue Ting offered as the officer followed her back to her restaurant leaving the reporters wailing for help while some still had the face to ask her about her big news which was ignored.

The live telecast was then abruptly ended on television when Xue Ting rushed in to show the CCTV footage to the police officer. Macy and Xiao Ji stood by the corner keeping Qiu Wen on the line as he drove over to the restaurant.

"Alright, ma'am this is good enough. We will deal with them and give you an update." The police officer said as she passed him the old bunch of keys.

"I have no idea which key is it. Just make sure to return them later. Thank you for your hard work." She said as the officers left.

"Good job!" Xue Ting praised Macy and Xiao Ji as they sighed in relief. "You cause a scare to everyone. Your husband is on the line." Xiao Ji said as Xue Ting was surprised.

"Oh no, let me speak with him…" Before she could reach the phone, Qiu Wen ran into the restaurant towards her.

"What happened? Are you alright?" He pulled her in for her hug as she gently rubbed his back.

"Must have worried you appearing live like that… I'm alright. It's settled." She assured him as an officer walked up towards them.

"Ma'am, we have them confessing that they had received a bribe from Ms. Francesca Wei to sit the whole day and disrupt your restaurant. Would you like to press on the matter?" The officer questioned and before Xue Ting could say anything, Qiu Wen turned around to answer.

"Yes. I want to use the restraining order I imposed on her towards my wife. She can't harm my wife but she can't use any other form to harm my wife and her surroundings. So, I am pulling charges on her as Sicily's husband." Qiu Wen was firm as the police officer nodded and assured them both that they would get updates on the progress.

"Well, I won't disagree this time. But let me get you lunch fixed first alright? You must have been so busy the whole morning too." Xue Ting caressed his face lovingly as he kissed her.

"I'm sorry for causing you unnecessary issues like this…" Qiu Wen sighed as Xue Ting shook her head.

"Your wife isn't that easy to be bullied… Haven't you forgotten who saved you from the kidnappers?" She teased as he chuckled and hugged her.

"Alright, you lovebirds better come in quick for lunch as the crowd will come in soon…" Macy coughed a little as though passing by before running towards the kitchen. The couple chuckled and followed her into the kitchen.

The news reported on the live coverage that Francesca was creating chaos in Mrs. Tang's restaurant which had caused an uproar for Qiu Yeh to fix.

When school ended Diane was scrolling on the live news about Xue Ting while walking with the twins. "Hey, isn't this your mum?" Diane showed the news to the twins as Joy gasped. Matthew grabbed the phone to read the news only to figure it must be the Tangs again.

"We got to go. See you tomorrow!" Matthew panicked as he ran with Joy to catch the bus and headed straight to the restaurant only to find Qiu Wen was busy helping out while Xue Ting was clearing the cashier queue and talking to May over the phone.
