Then there is their younger friend Xia Zhi Qin (Albee Huang), who is turning thirty soon. She is a free spirit who doesn't seem to want a committed relationship. To get away from everyday life and refresh herself from her recent divorce Wen Qi takes her friends on a getaway trip to Macau for fun and relaxation.
