"This can't possibly be the top secret place you are taking me is? she said surprised.
"What if it is" he replied smiling.
"Darling this is the civil affairs office.please tell me we are here for something else other than what I think we are" she said looking straight at him.
"Jianyu we can't possibly be here to register our marriage it's too soon for that. We just got engaged thirty minutes ago" She replied eyes wide seeing his obvious nod in affirmation of her fears.
Zhou Jianyu was always thoughtful in his actions but that did not mean he couldn't be very impulsive when he wished to be.
This is a man that invited himself to dinner In her apartment just so he could meet her brother and when Bai Liu was still skeptical about their relationship he had the guts to threaten to run away with her and never come back to C nation.
A Determined Zhou Jianyu was never to be underestimated not when his mind was already made up.
"So there's no rule that says that we can't get married thirty minutes after we got engaged. If I had my way I would have married you the first time l met you again after so many years" he said pouting.
"Huh Jianyu what do you mean? Have we meet before apart from when I ran into you in the restaurant that year.
"I first saw you during a ballet performance as the white swarm five years ago. I initially wanted to approach you after the show but you didn't come out. So I waited by the back door of the theater but when you came out you were joking around with your friends so I didn't bother calling you out. We finally me one on one on the elevator in Phoenix entertainment a year later, you came over to sign a contract for production we were co-producing with Star entertainment. when got stuck in the elevator together, I was cluster phobic so you tried to distract me from my present condition" he said.
"and did I succeed" She asked softly
"Yes you did that was when I fell in love with you but when we were finally rescued you left earlier. I searched around for you all these years and finally saw you that night in the restaurant. When we met in the mall again I discovered you didn't recognize me so I decided to actively pursue you" he replied.
"after a long time fate gave you a chance" She said.
"So I grabbed on and never let go. Zhenzhen I have never loved a woman as much as I love you" he said taking both of her hands in his.
'Not even Su Lixue? she asked looking into his eyes
"Not even her, I was only with Su Lixue because it was expected of me by my mother and after sometime I soon learned that she was a cancer that ate into your heart and soul" He replied holding her gaze.
"I had no idea, why didn't you tell me from the start" She said.
"I didn't want to scare you off just yet and I was a bit scared" He said looking down at his foot.
"What? you scared. wow am surprised you always seemed so confident to me" She replied.
"No one is completely confident when in love not when you are so in love and Zhenzhen I love. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I want to grow old with you, take care of you and be together with you better for worse. You just have to remember one thing Zhenzhen even if the world abandons you and attack you I would never let you go. I will be with you till the end of time. Even death can't keep me away from you. We are together forever, we are ride or die baby" he said.
She held his gaze for a few minutes before pulling him down for a kiss.
"Let's go" she said and he grabbed her hands and happily ran in together with a wide smile on their lips.
They walked hand into the office and began to register their marriage. Zhou Jianyu had call in earlier so they didn't have to wait back.
