The party went on till the elders were tired and left. Lu Muchen and Cheng Yinan stayed for a while until eventually, they also snuck out.
This time Lu Muchen was driving. Cheng Yinan was sitting in her quietly looking through the window.
The car came to a stop. Lu Muchen got down and opened the door for Cheng Yinan to come down. She came down but did not recognize the environment. She looked at Lu Muchen waiting for an answer. " Let take a walk for a while " he asked. Cheng Yinan nodded.
He held her hand and they began walking.
They walked for a while in silence but not an awkward kind of silence.
" Don't you want to ask me anything " Lu Muchen spoke. Cheng Yinan looked up at him and said " How did you know " she asked.
Even though her question wasn't that clear he was able to understand. " My people discovered what they had planned and told me about it " he said. " I could have stopped it but I wanted to prove your innocence to the whole world " he continued. " Why did you do it..you could have let them have their way " she asked. " Because you are my woman and nobody I mean no one messes with what's mine " he stated as a matter of fact.
Cheng Yinan looked into his eyes. She could see genuine care that was meant for her. Her eyes welled up. She wrapped her hand around his waist hugging him tightly as her tears flowed. Lu Muchen was shocked for a while. He was hugging her and she initiated it this time. He hugged her back. Soon he felt his inner shirt getting wet. A frown settled on his face as he pulled away from her.
" What's wrong..why are you crying " he asked worried. He wiped her tears with his thumps.
" Thank you so much..my own father did not believe me when I was framed but you did and that means a lot to me " she said. " Listen to me..In the past you were by yourself but now, you have me, I'll be there for you whenever you need me " He said. " Come on let me take you to a place that will cheer you up " he held her hand and started walking.
He stopped in front of a 24 hours dessert place. DANILO'S PALACE was it name.
They entered and found themselves a seat.
A waiter came almost immediately to take their order. " I want two chocolate mousse " Lu Muchen ordered and the waiter left to bring their orders. " Feeling a little better " he asked.
" Mmmn..it a nice place.. thank you " she said smiling. " Don't ever thank me again " he said feeling displeased. " But... " Cheng Yinan was cut off before she could finish her sentence.
" No buts, just don't thank me " . " Okay " Cheng Yinan agreed reluctantly.
The waiter brought their desserts. Lu Muchen picked a spoon and scooped a little portion of the mousse. He place the spoon right in front of Cheng Yinan asking her to open her mouth.
She looked at him for awhile before she opened up. As soon as the chocolate Landed on her tongue she closed her eyes to savour the taste. " It so good " her commented taking the spoon from from Lu Muchen. " Here try it " she also fed him.
The couple fed each other chocolate mousse, totally forgetting about everything else.
