The couple walked to their own cars. Shen was going to follow Tang Lin while driving, so she could drop her car off at home and hang out with him all day.
When they got to her house, Lin drove her car into her garage and walked to Shen's car. He quickly walked around the car to open her door. When she got in, he quickly went back to the driver's seat and started driving to the restaurant.
"Have you ever been to Waterfall Palace before?" Shen asked.
"Of course not. Only couples go there, so they could get away from their kids or to have private time together."
"So I'm your first date in your whole life?"
"Don't feel special. Our relationship won't last long. At the end of the week, you're going to realize that I'm too lazy and boring to be your wife," Lin said.
"I already know you're lazy, but you're not boring. I love bickering back and forth with you. It makes my life LESS boring. And if anyone doesn't like you for those qualities, then you can just be MY lazy and boring wife. Once you marry me, I'll never let you divorce me. So think hard about your decision. Okay, fiancée?"
"No need to worry, fiancée. You're going to be the one to back away from our relationship."
"Are you sure about that? I've liked you for twenty years. I don't think I'm going to be stopping now," Shen said.
"I'm sure. I'll show you my lazy and annoying side of me, and we'll see if you still want to marry me then," Tang Lin warned.
"Okay. I also want you to know that I am very stubborn and once I have made a decision, it will never change, no matter what."
They arrived at the restaurant and went inside.
"Hello. We made a reservation in the private dining room for three o'clock," Shen said.
The receptionist looked the computer and said, "Reservation for Mr. and Mrs. Lu, is that correct?"
"Yes."
The receptionist then said, "It is the VIP Room 3246."
Lu Shen thanked the receptionist and walked to the room with Lin.
While they were walking, Tang Lin said, "Mrs. Lu? Sorry, Mr. Lu, but I'm a non-married woman and my last name is Tang, so are you sure I'm allowed to come with you?"
"Stop acting like you don't want to be called 'Mrs. Lu'. I know you want to get married to me so badly, but you should just wait until the end of this week," Shen said.
Lin scoffed and said, "Who would want to be the wife of a narcissistic man like you?"
They looked all around the restaurant and saw couples looking at them. There were jealous and envious looks coming from everywhere. Some of the people were jealous of Lin for having a man like Shen and some were envious of Shen for having a woman like Lin. They were the most matching and beautiful couple in the restaurant. Some people were mad because their spouses or significant others were staring at the couple instead of paying attention to their wives or husbands.
They finally got into the room and ordered their food.
"Did you see that? Most of the women who gave you dirty looks wanted your title. Almost all of them were jealous that YOU had a chance to be 'Mrs. Lu'. You should be glad that a perfect man that everyone wants is your fiancée," Shen said proudly.
Tang Lin sighed and said, "Sorry to burst your bubble, but if I could, I would choose food over you anytime."
"Wow. So, you'd rather eat a chicken wing than hold hands with me during a date?"
"Yep. So, when is the food coming? We ordered a long time ago," Tang Lin said.
"We ordered five minutes ago! Food doesn't appear like magic when you want it to! Let the people cook!"
Ten minutes later, the food arrived and the whole table was filled. Lin marveled at all the delicious dishes and desserts. She immediately started eating and filling herself up.
By the time they finished, they were both about to fall to the ground because of how much food they ate. They went outside to take a walk and get rid of the uncomfortable indigestion feeling. As they walked side by side along the lighten up pathway, Lin started feeling tired. Shen saw her eyes closing.
"Let's go home. You must be feeling tired," Shen said.
"Y..yeah, let's go."
They faced the opposite direction and started to head back. Shen held Lin's hand and her head was resting on his shoulder as they walked to the car.
When they got there, they got in the car and went to Lin's house.
Meanwhile, Tang Jin was in the house watching Korean dramas on his phone.
"Ri Jeong Hyuk! Don't leave her! Are you stupid! Oh my gosh, stupid cliffhangers at the end of each episode!"
Suddenly, he heard the door open and saw Shen carrying Lin into the house. He quickly got up and stood behind the wall to look at them. Her arms were wrapped around his neck. From Tang Jin's view, he was unable to see that his niece was asleep.
Tang Jin was so confused. Were they dating? Why were they so close to each other, like they were dating? If he didn't decide to cancel his appointment with his friend, would he be left in the dark forever?
He was hidden behind a wall, so Shen didn't see him as they went up the stairs and into Lin's room. The door slammed shut and there was a huge "thud!" sound. There were continuous sounds coming from the room. It sounded like things were being thrown against the walls.
"Oh my gosh! Are they that close? How come I never knew about this? How long have they been dating? Is it possible that they were dating before our families met again?" Tang Jin had so many questions but nobody could answer them for him.
In reality, they were going down the hallway to Lin's room.
Shen woke Lin up and asked, "Where's your room?"
She lazily pointed to the end of the hallway and he went to her room. Then, he turned around to close the door. As he was struggling when trying to close the door, Lin reached her hand out and slammed the door shut.
Lin was thrown on the bed and there was a loud sound. She took off one of her shoes and threw it near her closet.
"Why did you have to eat so much?! The food you ate probably added ten pounds!! Do you know how heavy you are?" Shen said.
"If you really liked me, you wouldn't care about my habit of overeating!"
She was about to throw her other shoe at his face.
"Okay! Okay! Fine! You can eat as much as you want when we get married! Just be in good shape by the time our wedding comes," Shen begged.
"I'm not marrying you!!"
"I told you, once I make a decision, I will never change it. You will want to be my wife by the end of this week! Okay, Madam Lu?"
Shen took the shoe out of her hand and said, "I have to work tomorrow, so I'll see you on Tuesday."
He threw the shoe at the closet and kissed Lin on the forehead.
He ran out while saying, "Good night, my wife!!"
Tang Jin saw Shen walking out of the house and he drove off.
Lin was still shocked by the kiss her fiancée gave to her before he left. She went the restroom and washed up to get ready for bed. She couldn't sleep until two o'clock in the morning because of the shock.
