Xunyi parked the car beside a mall. Deming looked around and asked her, "Do you want to shop?" Xunyi shook her head, "I'll take you to this place. I heard it's great for the first date!" Xunyi didn't want him to exert too much energy, so she particularly chose a secret passage tunnel with beautiful colored lights. There were a lot of couples holding hands, and many others took this opportunity to take a selfie.
"Is it too crowded for you? We can leave if you don't feel comfortable." Xunyi said, but he reassured her, "I'm fine. We can walk slowly and enjoy the lights." She nodded and held his arms as they walked down the path.
After taking some photos, Deming brought Xunyi to a beautiful restaurant for lunch. They sat on the patio while the waitress took their order. Xunyi looked at the decoration and she was in awe.
"This place must be pretty expensive, right?"
Deming shook his head, "Nothing is too expensive for me."
"Oh, right. I forgot he's a CEO." She turned her head and muttered to herself. He looked at her and smiled, "Xunyi, I wanted to say thank you for staying by my side when I needed you the most. When I thought I almost lost everyone, you were the one who gave me hope to live on. I will never forget that." He reached out his hand and held her hand tightly.
"Deming, thank you for giving me hope. Ever since eight years ago, you've been helping me financially. I will never forget your kindness. The reason I'm in law was because you inspired me. Thank you." Xunyi stood up and gently kissed one side of his cheeks. Then a moment later, he kissed her back.
Once they finished their lunch, Xunyi drove to a nearby park. She noticed Deming was struggling to walk, she told Deming to wait for a few minutes. After a couple of minutes, Xunyi brought his wheelchair out. He was touched by her gesture. Xunyi adjusted a bit then asked Deming to sit in it. She pushed the wheelchair as they looked at the scenery. She stopped by a trail that says, "Path is narrow, no wheelchairs allowed." Xunyi adjusted the wheelchair then asked him whether he wants to go on another path or if he wanted to rest.
"Xunyi, I'm sorry. You really wanted to go down that path, right?" He felt bad about being a burden to her.
Xunyi shook her head, "No. Let's go to the other side! Don't worry about it." Then Deming stopped the wheelchair, "Xunyi, if you wanted to go. I can wait for you. I don't want to be a burden to you." Xunyi knelt in front of him and spoke honestly, "Deming, you're not a burden. It's your body telling you to rest. We can come here another time once you are fully recovered. Alright?" She got up and embraced him, "I'm really glad I got to spend time with you today. Let's go back home and rest." He slightly nodded and agree.
Xunyi was glad to be back, she already felt satisfied. After taking her second shower of the day, she joined Deming on his bed.
"I'm done showering. It's your turn." She said as she came out and dried her hair. Deming looked at her and chuckled, "Here, let me help you. Sit closer to me." Xunyi suddenly felt shy and blushed. She sat closer to him and turned her head. Deming gently dried her hair with her soft towel then helped her combing her hair.
Xunyi smiled and said, "In ancient times, only husband can comb his wife's hair." Deming held her tightly and then whispered into her ears, "Then, do you want to be my wife?" Xunyi was speechless, her whole body tingled that she had goosebumps.
"It's a bit too fast..." Xunyi said that as she nervously sat there without moving an inch. Deming smiled at her and replied, "I'm going to take a shower now. You can think about it."
A couple of minutes later, Deming came out of the washroom. Xunyi covered her innocent eyes as she saw his half-naked upper body. She peeked through her fingers and saw his chocolate abs. She never knew he was this fit. Her eyes have been blessed.
"What are you looking at?" He asked Xunyi because he saw her covering her eyes.
"Nothing." She replied as if she saw nothing.
"I know you were looking, no need to hide it from me. You're my girlfriend already." He smiled as he walked slowly towards her. Xunyi wasn't able to take her eyes off of him, she was already under his spell. She was only focused on him, all of the other stuff were just a blur to her.
"Are you sure it's nothing?" He repeated what she said and trapped Xunyi with his arm. She was unable to escape from his grasp.
"Xunyi." He whispered.
"Yes?"
"Don't be afraid and lie still." He gently kissed her lips and Xunyi didn't feel any fear because she was in love with this man. She cried because she was touched by his love for her. Ever since Bolin betrayed her, she never trusted another man until Jiang Deming appeared. He was her hope, her world, her everything.
Deming gently wiped away her tears and whispered in a sweet voice, "Xunyi, it's okay to cry. I'm here." Xunyi wrapped her arms around his neck and she embraced him gently, "Deming, I'm so grateful for you. Thank you for coming into my life."
"Xunyi, thank you as well." He gently held her and said, "I will never let you go."
"Me, too. I will never let you go as well."
Xunyi will never forget this night, it was her dream to be in the arms of the man she loved the most. And tonight, she was able to win over a highly-respected lawyer.
