Stepping out to the patio of the restaurant, Yue Ling felt like she had just walked into an oil painting.
A huge green lake came to view, in the center was a running fountain. With gray and blue sky in the back ground, the view could take one's breath away. Surrounding the lake were other restaurants, but just like the one she is in, there was not a lot of people sitting outside.
Sitting down, she hurriedly place her order and sat quietly as she waited for her order.
Staring at the lake, she suddenly thought about Lu Tian. Glancing at the empty chair across from her, she thought, how great would it be if they could enjoy the view together while having lunch...
Uhh.....
Realizing she had thought about the shameless man, she smiled a small smile.
'Am I....falling for him?'
Thinking of it, the face of a man smiling appears in her mind. The man's smile was one that can shake one's heart. His face was one that can make any woman fall in love with him.
Being reminded of her Shin, the smile in Yue Ling's lip disappears. Looking at the empty chair, she turn her head and stare out to the lake again.
It's been three years since any man had enter her heart, let alone, get her attention.. well, it was more like she didn't let them.
It was not that she didn't want to move on... She just couldn't bring herself to... she has love Shin for ten years and he was with her when life had her at her lowest... He helped her see a new light in life..
He was the reason why she smiled...
After he passed away, she couldn't bare to betray the man she loves, even after his death.
Others may say for her to move on, but what do they know.. Have they've experience the heart wrenching pain of losing someone they love?
Whenever she closed her eyes, she couldn't help but remember him. She had wanted to forget, so she couldn't feel the pain in her heart. Like a dream, she prayed to be woken up from.. but in the end, it was reality.
Losing someone you love can really change a person's view in life. Even if the person is gone, the memories and love will remain deep inside the heart.
How can the person who was left behind even move on?
Shin had once told her, time will heal, but...
Was it really okay for her to find her own happiness? Can she find happiness or will it be taken away from her again?
Can she love again....?
Staring out to the lake, she let out a small whisper, "Will you be mad if I fell in love with another man?"

"Miss, your order is ready."
Yue Ling woke up from her thoughts by the waiter's voice. She did not know if he's been there calling her or had just arrived, but it didn't matter to her.
Standing up, she follows the waiter to pay for her order. Swiping her gold bank card, she takes the bag of packed food and leaves the restaurant.
Seeing Yue Ling come out of the restaurant, the same valet worker who parked her car greets her.
"Miss, please wait here while I go bring your car."
"Mm."
Yue Ling nod her head and waited. She didn't mind that her car wasn't in front of her the moment she stepped out of the restaurant.
It was nice to catch a little breather from time to time.
"Excuse me Miss." a woman's voice sounded next to Yue Ling.
However, Yue Ling didn't know who the woman was referring to, so she didn't bother to look. Minding her own business, she continue to wait.
Next to Yue Ling, three woman stood waiting for their car too. Zhao Ya'Er felt like an idiot. She had spoke to Yue Ling but the goddess didn't even give any attention to her. Then again, who would?
Planning to speak again, she was suddenly interrupted.
"Ya'Er, why are you talking to her? We don't even know her."
