Zhen Lang\'s Quote:- It is said that Love is the tomb of marriage, then I will have to bury you with me.

***#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#***

The grand signing ceremony of the joint-venture agreement between the two big companies, the extravagant cocktail reception and also the expected appearance of Yunlang Group\'s mysterious young master who had always kept a low-profile, attracted countless searching looks. Originally it was a commercial cooperation between two companies but the attraction unexpectedly became no less like the scene of movie stars attending an entertainment news conference.

A handsome man, a beautiful woman, low-key, mysterious, second-generation successor, marital harmony, every word seem to have the potential for an unlimited news scoop. The media camera-men holding spotlights, tightened their nerves like soldiers on the battlefield ready at any moment to charge......waiting.......and waiting........

When the guests arrived in succession......they waited anxiously for the arrival of the legendary couple.

When the signing ceremony began......they still had not seen the legendary couple.

When the two sides shook hands and lifted up their champagne glasses in celebration...... there was still no sign of the legendary couple.

The golden banquet hall was filled with beautifully dressed people and the glasses of wine shone in the dazzling lights. Occasionally a few low words would break out in laughter and then disappearing in the crisp clinks of wine glasses.

The full ceiling to floor glass windows showcased all of this in a golden halo spreading out the atmosphere, swaying gracefully and elegantly in the night.

On top of the curved staircase, a couple clad in simple T-shirts and casual shoes, propped up their chins and leaned on the wooden lacquered handrails. They were engaged in a whispered conversation.

"Are you not going in to join them?" Jia Shao yawned lightly, feeling a little bored.

Zhen Lang ruffled her short hair. He was more curious in that fine and soft hair than the lively crowd below. His lazy unique voice sounded. "No."

She changed her posture and Jia Shao kicked up her legs to loosen her stiff body. "If you don\'t want......then why bring me here?"

When she was still in \'Golden Sunflower\' fighting with a huge backlog of orders, Zhen Lang had rushed into the studio like a flash of light, pulled her up and ran out with her. The poor thing still had her camera slung around her neck and it was like being swept by a burst of whirlwind out of the door.

When Fang Qing Kui found out Jia Shao had secretly married after taking a long leave, she was very displeased. Jia Shao hopes that tomorrow when Qing Qing finds out she had secretly snuck away, Qing Qing will not give her an additional charge of stealing company property.

He stood behind her with both his arms resting on the railings trapping her body in his arms. He casually and leisurely said. "Because you don\'t like all this."

These days she had carefully thought over this matter. Zhen Lang\'s background and identity could not be changed and behind him was a large complex setup that also could not be changed. In future, she would not be able to live as carefree and unrestrained as in the past.

However, she did not seem to be in a sad mood. All this while she had been living a solitary life but now living as a couple, it felt kind of sweet. When she felt bored, she could seek him out for a fight. Her life has become more interesting and so she did not feel any grief.

"I married you because I want to pamper you.....and not because I want you to change and adapt to my life." Zhen Lang wrapped his arms around her from behind and pointed to the front with his finger. "You can do what you want to do and that is what I like about you. It is not necessary for you to attend those kinds of events."

Jia Shao leaned on his shoulder, totally melted into his arms and laughed dazzlingly.

A sound rumbled from her tummy. She gave him a grievous smile and gazed at him with a pitiful look.

His hand held tightly to her waist. "Come, I\'ll take you to dinner."

Jia Shao held onto his arm and let him drag her along. He had a strange expression on his face.

***#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#***

In the top-floor presidential suite of the five-star hotel, the lights were bright and warm. Lights twinkled from the ceiling and the ultimate exquisite luxurious fantasy décor made it seemed unreal. Jia Shao raised her head, could only see the flashing of lights and quickly lowered her head again.

Her fingers flicked on the glass. In the ceiling to floor glass fish tank, the fishes swayed their tails, wiggled and mutually kissed each other in the water.

"These fishes are really cute." Jia Shao\'s face was pressed close to the fish tank and gave a lovely laugh. Her fingers from time to time, moved towards the fishes and patted the fish tank.

"It is not right to harass them." Zhen Lang smiled and hugged her. "Aren\'t you hungry? Let\'s eat."

"Don\'t want." The curious baby stalled. "I don\'t like being watched when I eat."

"Nobody is watching you." Zhen Lang pointed at the direction where the dining table was located. The candles on candlesticks fluttered and did not know when the lights had become dimmer, spreading an ambiguous ambiance of tenderness.

"Is this your purpose for coming here?" She raised her lovely face. "That signing reception......... You were not interested in that at all."

"It is better here than downstairs." Zhen Lang lifted off the food covers. "Without anyone around, you can eat to your heart\'s content."

She pouted her lips. "I don\'t want to sit so far away to eat."

She was not used to western dining etiquette and did not like to eat quietly at a long table. Although it was elegant, it lacked the kind of intimate feeling.

Her body swayed. She did not even have time to shout, she was picked up bridal style and placed on his lap. The fragrant soup bowl emitted an enticing aroma. "Is it alright, if we eat like this?"

She nodded with satisfaction and laughed like a kitten.

During this meal, she sat in his embrace and when her eyes swept over to the table, Zhen Lang immediately took the hint and understood perfectly. He instantly held up the soup bowl in front of her eyes and she cuddled to him with both her hands around his waist. Happily, she swung her legs while enjoying the feeling of being fed.

"Girl, being married to me is actually very good, right?" His pupils were dark and his low voice was enticing.

Jia Shao puffed up her shiny cheeks and took a long while to swallow the food in her mouth. Then she stretched out her finger and pointed at the golden spring roll at the side. "I want to eat that."

Helplessly he stretched out the chopsticks to pick up the food and placed it near her mouth. "As expected.......while you are eating, talking to you is useless."

***#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#***

Rolling her eyes, she stretched out on the sofa and rubbed her full stomach. "What did you just say?"

Silence.......

She turned her head around. Zhen Lang who was sitting at the table had disappeared. Only the fluttering candles and the fishes kissing in the water tank were keeping her company.

"Vet!" Only her voice echoed in the living cum dining room and Jia Shao got up to search around.

The closed carved wooden doors with golden door handles......the bedroom doors beckoned to her in silence.

She gently knocked but no one responded. She decided to press down the door handles and pushed them to open......

"Ah!......"

She let out a cry in a low voice. She covered her lips with her hands and looked at the scene in front of her, even forgetting to breathe.

At her feet lay a thick layer of rose petals.......layer upon layer stacked up to a few centimeters thick exuding a fresh fragrance. The yellow hazy light streamed down to her feet and the red color became increasingly brighter and more beautiful spreading over to the bed.

Soft charming lights shone upon the bed head and fragrant rose petals were strewn on the king-sized bed. Its fragrance was caught up in the cool air-condition whirl sending a few pieces of petals flying around softly and landing beside her feet.

Outside the ceiling to floor glass window, the night sky was open and far-reaching while a round moon spreads its clear light.

In front of the glass window, a man dressed in white with handsome features looking like a medieval prince stood facing the moon. The dark sky behind him set off his deep mysterious side view of his face. He turned and smiled.

At that moment, all the scenery faded into dimness and became his background scenery.

"Step on these petals.......do you like it?" He slowly opened his mouth to speak. Caught by surprise, she was shocked into oblivion by the beauty of it all.

Below her, the soft delicate petals teased the soles of her feet and the petals peeped out naughtily between her toes. Her snow white toes stepping on the bright red rose petals gave a red and white contrast which took one\'s breath away.

Under the moonlight, the prince opened up his hands in mid-air, encouraging for her to come to him. He looked gently towards her and the two figures drew closer.

"Very beautiful." Her hands slowly stretched out towards his direction.

Her fingers brushed across his finger-tips and then suddenly she placed her hands on the glass window. Her whole body was plastered to the window and she cried out excitedly. "Ah, it\'s so beautiful!"

This was the top floor of the hotel and the entire city\'s night scene could be fully viewed from the room.

Vehicle lights dotted like twinkling lights were continuously flowing. The twinkling stars slowly diminished like muted words, in the noise of thousands of lights in homes, moving into the far distance.

Jia Shao greedily looked. "It\'s so beautiful. Look at that side, isn\'t that the direction of the river? That light, isn\'t that the lighthouse?"

Just as she shouted, her body was pressed against the glass window from behind. His hoarse voice sounded beside her soft earlobe. "Girl, are you deliberately doing this?"

Jia Shao\'s both hands were placed on the glass and her hot red cheeks were partially hidden by her palms. She did not dare to answer and also did not dare to turn around to look at his expression.

Just now, his pair of dark pupils made her knees weak and she almost crumbled under his suit pants.

"You......" She struggled a little and found her strength had fled without a trace. "Let me go."

Her words came out soft and it was more like acting coquettishly.

"Girl, I have not proposed to you, right?" His fingers lingered on her waist and gently caressed her. The person in his arms did not know when she, from a wildcat, had turned into a domesticated cat......soft and gentle.

The reflection in the glass showed the two bodies pressed together and behind her, he was nibbling her neck while his hands slid over her curves. It was actually a blurred reflection but it could not conceal the evil light in his eyes.

She met his eyes for a brief moment through his reflection in the glass and she felt an invisible electric shock flow through her body which made her legs become weak. "It seems you don\'t need to listen to me whether I agree or not."

In the reflection, he suddenly released his hands. Jia Shao\'s legs trembled and found it difficult to hold on to the glass window.

She fell back a step and hit his body.

He knelt down on one leg by her feet and Zhen Lang held up a red velvet box in his hands. "Wife, will you marry me?"

Is this the way to propose? While calling her his wife, he proposed........what is this?

Her agitation still had yet to calm down, another mad wave peaked and the person who set off this madness was at this moment kneeling at her feet. The person who staged this old-fashion set-up was Zhen Lang.

She had never thought that she would be touched by this kind of mushy nauseating scene, never thought that her heart would beat until she found it hard to breathe and would be so affected that she was rendered speechless.

Because that person is him!

Now she is becoming more and more unlike herself.

Now her little girl\'s mentality is getting stronger and stronger.

"No roses?" She asked leaning her back against the glass. The cold touch of the glass window finally brought her senses back. She lifted the corner of her lips and proudly raised her head.

While chuckling, his hands gently touched and slowly caressed her calf up and down. "There are nine hundred and ninety-nine stalks of roses. They are not only just roses but also the roses I had personally torn off each petal and covered the bed with them for you......what do you mean by no roses?"

The skin where he touched was burning hot like flames and the hot feeling flowed through both her legs, igniting her body all the way up. Jia Shao took a deep hard breath and her voice trembled. "I......I will not wear a ring.....that.....that is.....I will not be able to practice fist fighting."

"That is to say, if it is not a ring then you will agree?" He had a sly smile as he caressed her slender calf in his hands.

Feeling a sudden coldness on her ankle, she looked down and saw a bright silver platinum anklet studded with diamonds glittering with rainbow-colored lights. Beautiful shiny red rubies were set in intervals in a wavy pattern like water waves flowing around her ankle giving it a luxurious and elegant appearance.

"I know you don\'t like rings. How about taking this anklet as our engagement token?" He buckled the clasp and stood up. "I designed this myself with a double clasp as assurance and you can practice as you please wearing this without worrying it will fall off."

It felt cool because of the anklet.

It felt hot because of his hand.

At that moment, a mixture of feelings dwelled in her heart.

Just like in front of her was the cold glass window, behind her was his warm body imprisoning her in his arms and raining light kisses on her. "Once it is put on you, you are not allowed to take it off."

The anklet was like a seal stamping his mark in her heart declaring his ownership of her soul.

"I didn\'t gift you anything in return, isn\'t it very unfair?" In the torrent of his kisses with her eyes blurred, she tried hard to express her heartfelt words.

"There is......." His lips slid all the way down, hovered on her shoulder and left red rose blooms on her skin. He said flirtatiously. "You......"

The slightly cold air from the air conditioner struck her body and she sucked in a breath of cold air. "You....."

When did she become like the Goddess of Venus falling into his arms? Those pair of hot hands caressed her waist and was also gradually moving downwards.

Near the glass window, the two people entwined and tempting deep love permeated the air in the room. Anxiety over her passions made her shrink. The woman reflected in the glass window had a face that was flushed red and her gaze was glazed and unfocused.

She could clearly see his hands touched her intimately and felt the changes on his body. "Window........curtains......"

He turned her face to him and sucked at the corner of her lips. "This is the highest level. No one will see even if the curtains are not drawn."

His tongue pried opened her lips and they exchanged kisses passionately. Hot skin against hot skin fuelled their need for each other. She raised both her arms and hugged him.

This night, his lips worshipped every inch of her delicate skin.

This night, they lay down on the bed covered with rose petals and furiously released their passions.

This night, the moonlight outside quietly scattered and the full glass window witnessed the two people\'s love for each other.

In the bed and on the floor, rose petals fluttered around. Heavy breathing and intermittent soft moans could be heard from her and also from him.

For the first time in her life, she gets to know that night scenes can be viewed this way.

For the first time in her life, she gets to know that the moon\'s smile can be so charming.

For the first time in her life, she gets to know that holding tight to this person can be so happy.

In the midst of such delirium, it seems someone affectionately said next to her ear. "My love, are you satisfied with the thing that I have kept safe for you for the last twenty plus years, the thing that you had once claimed it belongs to you?"

After gradually settling down from the peak, she hugged his handsome body and said weakly. "Enemy, you are truly my love......"

*#*#*#*#*#*** END ***#*#*#*#*#*

(The pinyin for 冤家 is Yuan Jia has a double meaning which can mean enemy or it can also mean one\'s love or one\'s sweetheart. At the end of this story, instead of using the word \'enemy\' I have used the word \'love\' which is more appropriate because ZL and JS\'s feelings for each other had turned from enmity to love.)
