After the dance, they went inside the garden where an alcove was. Waiters came and set the fire inside the fireplace, positioning dishes on the stone table that was doesigned with flowers and candles.
"We will have dinner here, I hope it doesn't bother my lovely Dandan."
He announced and she scanned the perimeter around the place, the ground was surrounded by red-yellow leaves.
"Here is truly magical. I'm speechless." He had picked a good season to fulfill her wish.
"Do you want me to design your wedding dress?"
Where did this come from out of a sudden? She never asked about a wedding, she wasn't even sure if they could sort everything out before being spoiled by Mr. Qin Bin.
"It depends on you." Why couldn't she be blunt! But she did not want to devastate this night.
After dinner, she felt that her stomach was getting into trouble, crap! Why should it happen now?
Hu found her getting pale, he stood up and extended his hand, "let's go home!"
She couldn't be agreed more, she had become interested in sleeping, lately, which was unlike her.
Getting back to the gates, the rain began to fall smoothly when Victor rushed ahead with an umbrella.
"No, please! I like rain."
Dan refused his hand and let the small beads tickle her skin. It felt good and nothing could tell her that she was still alive better than rain.
Hu squeezed her hand, she closed her eyes, and looked up, this rain completed her night after what he had given her, she smiled and held his hand tight.
Opening her eyes, she walked down the steps with him. He brushed his fingers in his wet hair. Didn't she annoy him, right? There were so many things she didn't know about him, the ones she learned from the web were not entirely true! Some were wide absurdity.
"Do you like rain?"
The man's eyes rolled on her, wearing a blank skin, "It depends, I like it now! When it is stormy, I can't say that I like it when I'm on the road."
But she liked the stormy nights too, it was full of excitement but if it hurts people, she could not accept that.
Hu walked to the Limousin when she halted, pulling his sleeve, and persuading him to stop.
"Can we get back with your car?"
"Don't you like that one?"
She gave him a disturbing beam, it wasn't like she didn't like the car, she could not drop herself into a lavish life. It was uncomfortable, unlike her constant beliefs.
With his consent, they got to his car and drove back home.
Bella jumped out of the kitchen with a full palate of food when she saw them arriving this early, it was just passed ten o'clock.
"Huh! What do I see?"
She grinned, at how elegant they looked together, especially with their withered look that seemed whipped by the rain.
"Yes, I guess I must prepare myself for a bad stomach and hormones' surprising mood."
Dan replied, seeing the girl approach with a dish of food that Mrs. Liu had cooked. Her mouth ran watery and her brain screamed as the scent touched her nose.
"Ah, what do you eat?"
Bella's eyes ran wide on her brother, "Did you make her starve?"
Hu was startled, was this question a joke or like seriously, she thought that he didn't feed her!
"Are you hungry, Dan?"
Hu asked and the girl looked embarrassed.
"Don't be humiliated, it is fine! Come sister, Mrs. Liu guessed that you will go through pregnancy longings."
Dan took her shoes off to stride after her in relief when Hu grabbed her arm. Nearing his mouth to her ear said, "after eating come to our room."
Dan didn't look at him, his seductive tone and the heat that left his lips could explain he wanted her close to him.
"Why?" She stammered.
"You are my wife, I want to take a bath with you."
Dan swallowed! How blunt! A bath with him? He told her that this marriage was real but she didn't reckon this coming this soon, he reached across to be not tolerant.
He released her arm but she caught him sneering and turned to the left spiral stairs of the entrance hall.
Bella looked back over her shoulder, "did you change your mind?"
Dan quickly bounced out of the mesmerizing daze that his voice caused and rushed to her. Holding Bella's arm said, "I will get fat!"
"Huh! I can swear that from tomorrow you will kill us on the tennis court if they let us stay at the University."
Dan nodded, it was Monday tomorrow, and she had her training there, wishing to take a part in spring matches, but with her being pregnant that would remain a dream.
"Tennis is heavy for me, I have to leave it for the sake of my current condition. I will do light workouts."
"Deal!"
Getting inside the kitchen, Xue was in her uniform yet! Shouldn't she go home?
"Ah, Xue would stay here to take care of you and assist Mrs. Liu."
Xue was amazed, at what happened to the Lady's appearance. She left here differently and got back from another world.
...
Hu went inside his room, and took out his tie, sitting at the edge of the bed, he took out his cell phone and saw his father's number, twenty missing calls.
"You are spying on me!"
He opened the message box and there was only one topic written on it.
"What are you doing? You are pulling her down with you!"
He bitterly beamed, "really, father? This is what you got to say? She doesn't want to escape, she wants to face it, if you push her she would just leave me, doing it alone."
He deleted the message and tossed his cell phone away. Recalling her while dancing on swans lake. As he imagined it was miraculously beautiful, for the first time in years his heart did not burn. She was truly the cure that no physician could assign him.
Getting up, he went to a drawing on the wall that belonged to the 17th century, putting it down, a small safe box showed up, he pressed a button and put his forefinger on the fingerprint mark; a green identity confirmation note appeared on the black screen and a clicked sound of its door could be heard.
Taking out the flash memory Bam had given him, he tossed it inside and closed the door.
He took out his clothes and went to his robe, waiting for Dan who came back after an hour. She was escaping from him, next time he would not warn her. He leaned his head back on the easy chair.
"You got late, Lady!"
His tone was dry, and the air inside the room was heavy, he didn't like that she would make him wait, he did enough!
"Sorry, I had to feed Bella's curiosity!"
"Hmmm..."
He stood up, the room was suffering the lack of light, a shade of light cast on his left side from the window side.
He bent on her, leaving a kiss on her neck, "Take off that dress."
