Ziyi"s week was extremely busy. She almost went crazy doing all her a.s.signments and course works. She even skipped Jiang Chen"s lecture to avoid meeting him.Finally, the university holidays were officially started.Ziyi packed her luggage and along with her friends, everyone went to the Sheffield Railway station. Angela, Zaw, AJ, Aseem and Mian planned for a one week trip to Paris and as usual, Ziyi planned to leave for US. So, Ziyi would go to her home in London and fly from Heathrow airport, where as her friends would fly from Manchester directly. As Ziyi"s train to London approached, She hugged everyone and bid her goodbye. She told them to enjoy their trip and got inside the train. The train would just halt only 4 minutes in Sheffield, so she hurriedly got inside the train.
But to her surprise, there wasn"t a single pa.s.senger in the entire compartment. Even her friends were surprised standing on the platform.Everyone went to the near by costa except Zaw. He stood at the same place as before. East Midland Train from Manchester to London Kings cross that too at the peak hour, being completely empty is practically impossible. Just when something crossed her mind, the doors for the train were closed. Zaw dialed her number immediately but the network is unreachable. Ziyi looked at her mobile and her mobile network showed "No connection".
The train started immediately and Zaw stared at her intently. She signaled him that everything is okay looking at his worried face. Slowly, the train left. He immediately made few calls and then headed back to the costa. Ziyi, then tried to connect to the train Wi-fi, but there was connection failed error.It didn"t take much time for Ziyi to process that jammers are installed in the train.
She placed her trolley near the luggage area. Then she she tried to enter the next compartment. There are no pa.s.sengers in the next compartment also. she walked further more and found even third compartment was empty. Without probing any further, she walked back to her original compartment. She took her airpods out and connected her phone. Then, started playing some music while reading a novel in her hand.She looked very calm and relaxed, though she knew that someone did it deliberately.
The train crossed three stations without even stopping. She didn"t pay any attention but instead focused on reading the novel. After sometime, she glanced at her watch once and started counting

Suddenly, a handsome hand placed a cup of coffee infront of her. Without even, lifting her head, she grabbed the coffee and started drinking it slowly without any response.
He waited for a long time to see if she would at least panic when such strange things do occur. There is not even a single pa.s.senger in the entire train. Her mobile has got no signal and wifi couldn"t be connected. The train even didn"t stop at the other stations, when it"s not a direct one.If it happens to any other 22 year old girl, she might be scared atleast even if it is not to death.
But her posture looks completely relaxed and even seemed to be enjoying...!!
" Prof Jiang, I never knew that I was this expensive", she spoke without even lifting her head.
"Huhhh...??", Jiang Chen exclaimed.
" Don"t you agree ?", she questioned again, still not lifting her head.
"Nothing in this world could match up, to give you a price !! You are just priceless ", in a calm manner he answered.
"Never imagined that the fortune rich billionaire is an open flirt !!", she sounded nonchalant.
"It depends on the person I meet". He continued staring at her, but so far, she still hasn"t lifted head to see him.
The girl remained silent.
"Why did you book the entire train ?"
"To talk about our marriage", his voice was calm.
"What ????" her eyes were wide open and the novel in her hand slipped due to the shock.
