Zan villa.
Zan Guiying had left for sleepover in De mansion. So Bo Ehuang didn't had to make her dishes today.
I should make her a new menu. Like every weekend, she thought.
She reached in the kitchen.
"Is any ingredient unavailable?" She asked.
"No! Madam Zan! Everything is available!" The head shef answered.
He took out the weekly ledger and gave it to her. She took it.
"We should make a new menu for yingying!" She reminded him.
"Yes Madam Zan!"
"Be in my study after two hours!" She instructed.
The head shef nodded and bowed his head.
She walked out of the kitchen. Should I take a stroll?
She walked in the back garden for sometime.
"Bo Ehuang!!" Suddenly someone called her. She turned.
It was Zan Tengfei.
"I was searching for you!" He walked towards her and stood in front of her.
"There is no yingying today. So I thought I should take a walk!" She answered.
"Then let me come with you!" He suggested.
"Okay!" She blushed.
They slowly began to continue their stroll.
Their hands brushed for sometime, making both of them blush. Bo Ehuang thought to move somewhat far from him. But suddenly Zan Tengfei held her hand.
She looked at him.
"This feels right!" He answered.
They both chuckled and began to walk again... Holding their hands.

Today Zan Guiying had gone to De mansion. So what should I do? Chao Baozhai thought.
She was sitting in her room folding her dress'.
It isn't much an opportunity. Without Zan Guiying, it's impossible to go near Zan Tengfei.
"Miss Chao!!" Suddenly butler Wun knocked the door.
She turned. "Please come inside!" She informed him.
"Miss Chao! Today young miss Zan is not in the villa. So Madam Zan instructed me to inform you. If miss Chang wanted to visit her family, you could do so!" He informed her.
"And she also told me to say to submit the report about young miss Zan."
He stopped and looked at her.
"Butler Wun! I have written the report about young miss Zan. And also, I haven't thought much about visiting my family so... Let me think. I would inform you later." She smiled.
"Okay! Miss Chao!" The butler nodded and left the room.
***
The report on Zan Guiying, is a series of observation by her nanny's written and submitted weekly. It was started when Zan Guiying turned one by her father and grandfather. This report had information about what Zan Guiying ate, what did she play, her likes and dislikes, her sleeping patterns etcetera. This report is used for Zan Guiying's emotional and psychological well being. Also this report is used for deciding Zan Guiying's food menu for a week. All of the three read these reports.
***
Tsk! Tsk! The butler would give the reports. Otherwise, I could go to him. She thought. Otherwise... I could ask him a lift to go to my home!! She shook her head. No! No! He won't do that. He would arrange a driver for me. She thought.
Maybe I can go and search for him now.
She stood up and walked out of her room.
"Where is Mr and Mrs Zan?" She asked a servant.
"They are in the back garden!" She got informed.
They?!
She walked fastly to the back garden.
When she walked into the garden, what she saw made her angry.
Zan Tengfei and Bo Ehuang were holding hands and smiling deeply.
I should have known! They could grow closer in their one year marriage. I should make my moves faster. She grinded her teeth and observed them.
***
After walking for some more time, Zan Tengfei decided that he should put a topic in the table so they could talk.
"Bo Ehuang!" He called.
She looked at him.
"It's going to be our one year anniversary!"
"Yeah...!" She sighed. "Time is moving so fast. I didn't think our anniversary would happen fastly.
"Mm..... Bo Ehuang.... How is your life here... As my wife?" He asked.
"I like it.... Living as your wife... Living as Yingying's mommy.... Etcetera!" She answered. "Also the servants here is very cooperative. They didn't even mistreat me when I arrived here."
They stopped under a peach tree. "Bo Ehuang!" He slowly pulled her towards him.
"Can I kiss you?!" He asked.
"Yes!" She nodded and looked at him.
It's getting dark and the garden lights are switched on.
She looks so beautiful. He thought.
He looks so handsome. She thought.
She slowly tip toed and leaned towards him.
He slowly rubbed her lips and leaned to kiss her...
"Aahhh!" Suddenly Bo Ehuang screamed.
