Jinjing was pulled into the dark mansion and pinned against the wall.
Before she could adjust her sight to the darkness, her lips were caught in a fierce kiss. Jinjing's relaxed only when she sensed a familiar touch and inhaled a familiar scent.
As her anxiety began to reduce the passion increased. She participated equally in the heated kiss. After a fairly long time, the kiss ended.
Caressing her cheeks, Liang whispered affectionately "happy birthday my love."
"thank you my love." A blushing Jinjing responded.
Reaching to the switch behind Jinjing, Liang turned the lights on. Adjusting to the sudden brightness, from where she stood, Jinjing saw a path laden with rose petals. Delighted she looked at Liang, who offered her his hand and guided her in the direction of the flower path.
The path led to the backyard. The view there stunned Jinjing. with her eyes wide open due to shock, she saw that she was standing at the entrance of an awe-inspiring garden which included a fountain made of stone to one side. There was a koi pond as well that covered a large area. The prime attraction of the garden was the huge patio primarily made of stone, which had white drapes falling from its canopy.
The beige colored seating looked comfortable and cozy with several cushion in various shades of bronze and brown. The patio could house at least 20 people at any given time.
Illuminated by string lights, the patio looked like the ones in romantic films, where the man proposes to the girl.
When that thought crept in her mind, Jinjing felt overwhelmed.
The couple walked on the cemented path leading to the patio, hand in hand. A beaming Jinjing would sometimes look at their intertwined hands and sometimes at his handsome face and blush even more.
She felt as if she was walking down the aisle with Liang and the patio was the altar.
To control her blushing, she looked around the beautifully landscaped garden and saw that, the area was lined by tulip and dogwood trees. They were adorned with fairy lights making the atmosphere even more magical.
When they reached the patio she saw a beautiful lit candle surrounded by an exquisite flower arrangement.
Liang made Jinjing sit on the couch and kissed her hand before calling someone.
Soon enough a server rolled a cart with food to where they were seated. When the food was served Jinjing was awestruck, all the dishes were her favorite.
Once the server left, she hugged Liang and said "everything is wonderful. Thank you very much"
"anything for you, my love."
The couple started enjoying their dinner, occasionally serving and feeding each other.
After the dinner, Jinjing took off her sandals and put her feet on the couch, leaning her back on Liang's chest enjoying the tranquility of the night.
Liang rested his back against the couch and wrapped his arms around Jinjing's waist.
The only coming was the soothing sound of the water from the fountain, the crickets and the sound of two passionately beating hearts.
