Exactly five minutes later, w.a.n.g Yong stopped and gently let Zhi Ruo down, " You can open your eyes now. " Zhi Ruo obediently nodded and opened her eyes. Once she did, she was enthraled by the magnificent view in front of her. She leaned on the railing to observe the majestic scene.
w.a.n.g Yong brought her to a small pond he had discovered this afternoon by walking around. The moon gently reflected on the clear water that slightly rippled with the wind.
The translucent water gave the place an ethereal feeling while the lights at the bottom gently shone. The vegetation and flowers slightly floating on top of the small pond.
Zhi Ruo"s eyes lit up from the beautiful view and a smile formed on her lips, " This place is amazing. "
w.a.n.g Yong was happy to see her smile and patted his own shoulder for the good move, " I am glad you like it. I found it this afternoon and I knew it would look better at night. "
" I never knew such a pretty place could exist near the city. " Zhi Ruo smiled as she commented.
" I was also surprised. " w.a.n.g Yong added. Furthermore, there weren"t many people either.
As the wind got a little stronger with the time, Zhi Ruo trembled a bit and held her arms.
w.a.n.g Yong immediately picked up the sign and said, " I am sorry, I don"t have a jacket. Do you want to go back now? "
" It"s fine. " Zhi Ruo answered, " I want to stay here just a little longer, it"s really calming. "
w.a.n.g Yong looked at her and contently smiled. He then walked behind her and gently draped his hands around her, his arms holding hers, " Like this, you will be less cold. "
Zhi Ruo was a bit shocked by the sudden touch but felt that it was definitely warmer and laughed, " Thank you! "
" Big boss is really cute sometimes! "
" So how was your day? Hectic? " w.a.n.g Yong inquired as he hugged tighter.
" Hmm... I guess you could say so... " Zhi Ruo started talking about her day and found that this kind of thing was very therapeutic. A charming man holding her while they looked at a pretty view after a long day at work.
Even though not all of her wishes were fulfilled, Zhi Ruo felt undeniable joy from this hectic yet lovely life. She was always surrounded by amazing people and felt that her previous lonely lifetime was worth the suffering if she obtained such a beautiful life as this one.
...
The next three days pa.s.sed in a flash, Zhi Ruo was busy every day like usual and went to all different kind of places to meet people and inspect areas.
As for w.a.n.g Yong, he started having a lead of his memories and followed them to the bar, to the restaurant, to a park till he finally remembered a clue about his friend. Not long after, he started investigating.
Meanwhile in a fancy mansion...
" What do you mean you can"t find anything on her?! " Jessica screamed at the investigator she hired.
" It seems like all types of information of her has been magically wiped out. " the investigator answered.
" Why? How?! Is she a magician then?! How can just every information not exist? Why do you think I pay you?! " Jessica raged.
" I also don"t know... It"s like someone tried to hide her existence... "
" Did you hack the hotel"s security then? They definitely have information about their guest. " Jessica frowned and asked.
" Humm...about this...somehow, all the information was blocked and protected by a complicated system... I haven"t managed to crack it yet... " the man awkwardly answered.
The same situation happened to the two other people searching for information on Zhi Ruo and both got even more intrigued by the mysterious lady they met.
" WHAT? Aren"t you one of the best hackers in the countries?! " Jessica yelled.
" I just need more time. Three more days would be enough. " the man convinced.
" Fine, three more days! Not like I have a choice either way... " Jessica grumbled and kicked him out.
" EVERYONE GET OUT! " Jessica fumed at her a.s.sistant and maids. They scaredly got out.
After everyone got out, Jessica finally had time to breathe and threw away her monstrous high heels. She roughly ruffled her hair and threw her head back while sighing, " Arggg! Keeping up this act is really tiring... "
...
In the middle of the night, w.a.n.g Yong heard his doorbell ring.
He woke up from his bed and checked the clock: 11 pm.
Who would come to bother him so late at night?
w.a.n.g Yong peeped through the peephole to check. To his pleasant surprise, it was his little princess dressed in her pyjamas, awkwardly standing there while waiting for him to open the door.
He observed her for a little moment before opening the door, " h.e.l.lo Ruoruo, do you need something? "
Zhi Ruo nodded and looked at him with a hint of embarra.s.sment. " Hum...I have something to tell you... "
" Come in then. " w.a.n.g Yong proposed while subtly observing the tips of her ears that turned red.
Zhi Ruo shuffled in and w.a.n.g Yong closed the door behind her, " Do you want to sit? "
Zhi Ruo nodded, trying hard to appear calm and went to sit on the couch.
" What did you wanted to tell me? " w.a.n.g Yong smiled at the shy kitten and poured her a cup of water.
" Actually... this is a bit embarra.s.sing to say but I... " Zhi Ruo started hesitatingly.
" NO! No, no, no, no, no! This is such a bad idea!!!! What was I thinking?!?! What am I still doing here?! "
