Huang zhilan couldn't believe that the man come here solely just to hear her venting out the feelings in her. Tears welled up on her eyes and she smiled, "I will come down," she then turned around without waiting for his response and turned off her bedroom's lamp before rushing downstairs. The mansion was quiet and only her hurried steps heard. She walked out from the door and closed it quietly. She wore a jaclet to cover herself from the night cold and she hold the jacket hem tightly as she approached him slowly.
"Come in," gu junjie opened the passenger's seat and used his eyes to tell her to climb up.
Huang zhilan do as he said and the man closed door before going to the other side.
He started the car and drive out from Leaves garden.
A few minutes later,
"Where are we going?" Huang zhilan break the silence and asked.
"It's not far. Just the park near here," as he answered, he make a turn and parked his car.
The two of tjem then alighted from the car and sat on a bench. The night wind blew past them and its so refreshing. Huang zhilan rarely come out late at night to relax and the park was exceptionally empty at night which make her even more at eased and relaxed.
"Care to share with me why are you so troubled?" The man glanced at the woman who was less tensed than before.
Huang zhilan gave him a smile. "Earlier, I seen the photos of the two of us in the mall...."
She took a deep breathe and continued, "I feel that we are pretty good with each other but aftet reading the comments, it finally dawned into me...that....to others, we are just brother and sister. Maybe....even your parents think the same and they probably have long chosen their daughter-in-law and wanted you to marry their choice. You have never said 'no' except if its involving your privacy or work. I know that I have fallen deeper to this abyss but I was happy for it. I finally find someone who can protect me and gave me a sense of security whenever I'm with him. I'm truly. ....truly are happy with you..."
Gu junjie listened attentively and finally caught the problem she have yet to noticed. "Dummy....you are wrong half way".
Huang zhilan face turned blank. "Huh?"
"Didn't you said that I will never say 'no' except if its involving my privacy and work?" Gu junjie repeated her sentence..
However the woman was still blank. "Then?"
"Aren't you included in my private life? Zhi, I'm dating you is something I never regretted. You are thinking too lightly your importance to me. You are akin to a bulb and I'm a dark room. You lit me up. You are akin to a firefly and I am a quiet and empty garden. You gave me light and fun. Zhi, do you see now? You are worrying for nothing," Gu junjie chuckled and turned around. He pulled her to his embrace and gently caressed her back. He then said, "remember that you are Mrs. Gu. Tie me and lock me by your side using that name".
Huang zhilan eyes widened. Her eyes stung when she heard his words that she is his light. She smiled and broke to tears. She was laughing and crying at the same time. She hold his arm and buried her head on his chest. Its the second time she was in his embrace and she liked the smell of the mint fragrance of his. She also could hear his heart beating clearly and whenever his chest rumbled when he chuckled and talked. She liked it all.
"It seems....I will be a bad woman now". Huang zhilan laughed.
Gu junjie hold the back of her head using his palm and his other hand was on her back. "I love bad woman. I'm more to this type".
His sudden confession was lile a bomb suddenly being thrown to her heart. The explosion occured in her heart bloomed with flowers and warm. She closed her eyes and laughed, "And I like quiet men".
Gu junjie smile widened and turned more gentler and softer. The two of them stayed like that for about 10 minutes and gu junjie helped he rwiped the remaining tears. He sent her back home and told her to go to sleep quickly while he went back to the Gu residence...
------
A month passed after that night ans the couple's relationship become better and better. Huang zhilan wasn't that shy to call him and she will call him every night to ask about his work. She was also surprised when the news of the Sheng family selling their daughter to a mafia gang come out. She thought that the sheng family must have been so desperate for money that they sacrificed their daughter. And thus, the sheng family didn't dare to throw any dirty water to her anymore and they have become beggars in the streets.
Gu junjie also will ask her to bake and cook for him from time to time. Their relationship improved nicely and they are getting customized calling each other 'darling' and 'dear'.
Gu junjie told her that it was wang xixi's birthday next week and he wanted her to come over but he didn't want to announce their relationship first. He wanted her to know how his family was like and what she didn't know.
