"Xiao Zhan, please wait for me. I promise I will come back. I promise that to you so please wait for me and don't forget that I really... really love you so much."

Hugo Entertainment Head Office, Studio 4

"Hello, people of the world. I am Pe Yeng and I am here with our beautiful Wang Zhui Li who just arrived few days ago from the US. I am sure everyone of you know how famous our guest is, she is a world known novelist who sold a billion copies of her latest book 'Recoiling' all over the world. Her book dominates the publishing market and was called for a third printing and as for our latest updates, the rights were bought by Genie TV of Hugo Entertainment and is planned to have a drama adaptation that will be shown next year. Ladies and gentlemen, please give a round of applause to our super beautiful elite novelist Wang Zhui Li."

"Good day to everyone and to the viewers. Thank you for inviting me here." Wang Zhui Li greeted with a bright smile on her face.

"It's our pleasure. Actually we are thankful that you accepted our invitation despite the fact that you  just have a long travel from the US. I know you are tired and exhausted after the long flight but you are still here to accommodate us and have this interview."

"Of course, like I said that time when you asked my manager if you can interview me about my career and my advocacy on mental health issues I am willing to do so. I want to tell all the viewers how mental health is really important and they should not underestimate or take this matter for granted. I myself was a survivor of severe depression, anxieties and panic attacks and so I really wanted to help other people who are suffering the same way on how they can cope up with it."

"That's nice to hear, but before we dig deeper to the topic, we heard that you have an important news to tell us. We already wanted to know the good news."

"Isn't it better if I reveal it at the end of the interview?"

"Well it's true but I am your big fan and I am so excited to know what's the good news. I am sure it's not only me who is waiting for it so please grant us a favor and reveal it to us." Pe Yeng smiled widely with pleading eyes.

"Seems like I have no choice." Wang Zhui Li chuckled. "Yes, the reason why I accepted this interview was also to announce something. Five years ago I and my two sons went to the US to migrate there with my husband. It is actually one way for me to run away from my dark moments in the past which I am sure you already knew. I thought it will be permanent and we will not come back here anymore but due to some reason we decided to come back in our own country and live here again permanently."

"Really, wow, that was one big revelation but as one of your fan we are so happy that you are now back in China where you really belong and even together with your family. I also salute you for having this courage to decide on this matter after all that happened in your past. I am sure your career will continue to bloom like how you are so elegantly blooming today."

"Thank you very much for the warm welcome."

Wang Zhui Li turned off the television after watching her interview with Pe Yeng a famous life style host in Channel 3. She stood up and walk towards the refrigerator to get something to drink because she felt her throat dry. As she opened the refrigerator, she saw three options to choose, a bottle of mineral water, an orange juice with the name of her youngest son written on it and a can of coke. She smiled and get the orange juice and drunk it without hesitation. She felt satisfied when the cold orange juice hit the spot. While drinking, she saw her eldest son putting on his shoes and fixing his shirt in the sofa, obviously preparing to go outside.
