After a great afternoon with Xunyi's grandparents, her grandparents were very excited about Xunyi's relationship with Deming. After all, Deming helped them a lot in the past. Xunyi's grandma reminded her to take care of Deming and her grandpa pulled her aside saying, "Remember to call us once in a while, we'll be waiting for your good news." They stayed at Shen Zhen for a few nights before leaving for Shanghai.
As Deming and Xunyi went on the high-speed bullet train to Shanghai, Deming looked at her and saw her giggling, "What's so funny?"
"Nothing." She looked at him and asked, "Actually, my grandpa said he'll be waiting for our good news. What are your thoughts about that?"
"Xunyi, let's get married after this whole mess is over." He looked at her while holding onto her free hand. She nodded and agreed. After they got back home, the home was already decorated. Xunyi was dumbfounded because she didn't expect any surprises.
"Wow, Wow, Wow... Look who is here?!" Gabriela made her surprise appearance at Lawyer Jiang's house, Susie as well, along with Hailey who was wearing a party hat.
"You guys got engaged yet you didn't let us know?" Gabriela pouted but Xunyi hugged her best friend, "I didn't expect you to come. How did you know? I was going to call you about it." Gabriela looked at Lawyer Jiang and smiled, "It was his idea. Not mine." Xunyi looked at Deming and she was speechless, "How long did you hide this from me?" He smiled and replied, "It's a surprise."
"You called them while we were in Shen Zhen? How did I not know? It's the best surprise ever!" Xunyi continued to hug her friend and said, "I haven't seen you in ages. What are you up to?"
"Mia you're going to be a god-mother soon. I'm three months pregnant!" Gabriela announced her pregnancy to Xunyi.
"Who's your husband?" Xunyi asked. Gabriela got out her phone and showed her a picture of her fiance, "His name is Sam. He's actually in Shanghai right now. We are also getting married soon! So I'm glad to see you before I fly to Dubai. My fiance will have a conference meeting over there for a few days then we'll go to back to London for my wedding preparations. On another hand, here's my gift to you and Lawyer Jiang!"
"What is this?" Xunyi asked Gabriela.
'Xunyi, you will need this in the future. New maternity outfit and a few baby clothes." She smiled and looked at Xunyi, "I'll be waiting for your good news." Xunyi nodded, "Definitely. Thank you!"
"Mia, I got this a while back in New York. I finally have the chance to give this to you." Hailey handed her gift bag to Xunyi.
"Wow! I always wanted these earrings! But they were too expensive when I saw it in London. I'll make sure to wear it for my wedding. Thank you, Hailey. Thank you, Gabriela! It's the best gift." Xunyi smiled and Gabriela turned Xunyi over to Deming. He knelt down and open a small box.
"Xunyi, I always wanted to say that thank you for being by my side. You were beside me during my darkest hour and you are the light that I always needed. I promise to take care of you and love you. Xunyi, would you marry me?" Xunyi was in tears and nodded, "I will." Deming took out the ring and slowly placed it on Xunyi's left ring finger. He stood up and embraced Xunyi.
"Xunyi, from now on, you are mine. No one can take you away from me."
Xunyi nodded, "I promise to take good care of you and love you." She looked deeply into his eyes then closed her eyes. Deming leaned forward and kissed her soft lips. Gabriela, Susie, and Hailey all celebrated this special day. Susie gently smiled and clapped for them. Susie started to feel off but she shook it off because she doesn't want to ruin their special day.
After the party ended, Susie bid farewell to all of them first since she was feeling sick again. Gabriela and Hailey left after helping them cleaning up all of the trash. Once they left, Xunyi and Deming were in each other's arms. Both of them kissed sweetly.
"Xunyi." He hugged her from the back and Xunyi softly answered, "What is it?" They looked outside the balcony and saw plenty of stars in the night sky. The quiet night made them think about their past and their future. Xunyi was grateful to have him by her side now. Since he is able to walk without any support, she felt better of not having to worry too much about him.
"Xunyi... I love you so much." Deming couldn't control his emotion and tears started streaming down his face. He started to miss his parents and how he wished that Ruxue's relationship with him will improve. Ruxue, his younger sister, will be living with her aunt because she didn't want to see her older brother. She is still blaming him for their parent's death.
"What's the matter, Deming?" Xunyi held his hand as she continued to look at the stars. Deming shook his head and whispered, "Xunyi, let's go back to bed. It's cool at night." Since Xunyi was wearing a dress, Deming was worried she will get sick.
Xunyi followed Deming after closing the balcony door. Deming closed his bedroom door as soon as both of them were in there.
"Deming, slow down. We still have plenty of time." Deming held her tightly and kissed her. Xunyi closed her eyes and let him take the lead. Her gentle hand caressed his neck and he gently laid her down on to the bed. They were in their own world and no one would be able to distract them.
"Deming, why are you crying?" She whispered. Deming looked at her with his teary eyes, and he didn't say a word. He continued on until both of them ran of out energy. After they were finished, Xunyi looked at him and comforted him. No matter what happens, she will never leave him.
