Lazily, she opened her eyes and asked, "Xie Yuansheng, why are you pestering me so much? I want to spend the rest of the day in this bed, right here. You should also come here and lie down with me." Saying that Feng Xinying covered herself in the blanket again. Xie Yuansheng knew of her legendary problem of not waking up early in the morning, especially on the weekend. He shook his head. In one swift move he removed the blanket from her and picked her to carry her to the bathroom.
"Put me down Xie Yuansheng," she shouted as she spanked him on his b.u.t.tocks. However, she received the spanks back from him and twice as much.
An hour later the driver was taking them down the highway. Feng Xinying puffed cheeks all along the way with her arms crossed across her chest. He had spoiled her weekend by waking her up at 4AM in the morning. Xie Yuansheng kept looking at her and without a word he just sat in the car with a smile playing on his lips.
"Won"t you talk to me Yingying?"
"No, I won"t!" she retorted.
He gave a small laugh. "Why not darling? I told you I would give you a surprise."
"I will not talk to you Xie Yuansheng because you have woken me up so early. 2AM no one wakes up on a Sat.u.r.day!" she shouted looking at his face. And he was smiling too.
"Ah! Please Xinying, talk to me!"
"I won"t!" she replied yet again and pouted.
Xie Yuansheng was roaring in laughter. Throughout the journey he kept teasing her and she kept retorting. Soon they reached the airport and were ushered inside through the VIP gate. Feng Xinying was now actually surprised. All the time till they reached immigration, she kept asking as to where were they going but he would just smile, lift his finger and keep it on her lips, "Shush."
Finally, Feng Xinying gave up asking. By the time it was 3:30AM, they were heading in a car to the place on the airport where a private aircraft was waiting for them. The captain, Jiazhe came out and shook his hands with both of them.
Feng Xinying shrieked, "Jiazhe! How are you?"
Jiazhe was very happy to see that a girl was ecstatic to see him. "I am very fine Miss Xinying. How are you?"
"She is also good, thanks Jiazhe," replied Xie Yuansheng from behind with a strict face. "Can we take off?"
Poor Jiazhe was once again at a loss of words. The couple climbed the stairs and went inside where an air hostess was waiting for them.
Feng Xinying looked around. The aircraft looked new and had a luxurious interior. "Is this a new one?" she asked, turning her head to Xie Yuansheng.
"Mhmm."
"Xie Yuansheng, you are really indulging in a lot of luxury on company"s money," complained Feng Xinying feeling responsible for her father"s money all of sudden.
Xie Yuansheng laughed. "Don"t worry. We sold two old planes and invested in a new one."
"Ah!" she replied and sat in a seat offered by the airhostess.
As soon as she was strapped in her place, Xie Yuansheng sat down and the plane took off. "Where are we going?" she asked again for the last time.
"Hush, now go off to sleep. I will wake you up once we land in our destination."
Feng Xinying shook her head at her husband and admired his capability of keeping secrets. She looked at him and then went off to sleep. The plane was already high up in the skies. When she opened her eyes, she realized that she was sleeping on a bed and next to her was Xie Yuansheng. She sprang up to sit and shook Xie Yuansheng"s shoulder. "Have we reached Xie Yuansheng? Don"t tell me I slept like a log all the time!"
Xie Yuansheng opened his eyes, took his arms around her and forced her to lie back. "No darling, we are still in the cabin of the aircraft. Come to me and sleep." He embraced her as he put his legs on hers pinning her beside her.
Feng Xinying looked around her. It indeed looked like an aircraft cabin. It was pretty small with just a single bed and a small table on the side. She smiled at him and went off to sleep again.
Few hours later, the plane landed in its destination. The airhostess knocked on the cabin"s door to wake up the couple.
They walked out of the plane and were ushered in a black car that was flanked by security men. Feng Xinying surprise was multifold when she saw so much security even in the foreign land. Soon they were outside the airport. As the car cruised through the roads, Feng Xinying realized that they had come to one of the European countries.
