Midori backed away and hurriedly replied, "I . . . I"ll go first!" Then she bolted towards the ensuite bathroom .
Dan chuckled and shook his head . After she slammed the door, he went out of the room .
The bathroom was larger than the one from her bridal preparations . It housed a chandelier atop a seemingly small pool in the middle of the room . There was a shower at the corner with multiple showerheads throwing water from different directions . The toilet had a more advanced bidet while the sink was in a marble finish . There was also a vanity table with a large spotless mirror, complete with lights, equipped with various creams, makeup and other beauty products . The cushioned stool was kept under it .
As she took her dress off, she admired its dainty laces . "It would have been a shame if it got ripped out . " She sighed in relief then snickered .
She went to the shower first to thoroughly cleanse herself . Then she took a dip in the pool-like tub, pouring some of the provided aromatic oils in .
She took her time in the bath as it was so relaxing that she almost fell asleep . She dried her hair after putting on a robe . Then she finally stepped into the bedroom .
She saw him on the sofa, reading some doc.u.ments . He was already in his robe, with his hair looking damp . "You"re done with your bath?"
"Hmn . " He replied, without looking up .
She walked towards him, then leaned in to check what he was so busy about that he was ignoring his new wife .
As her subtle scent wafted into his nostrils, he finally looked up to her .
Midori looked backat him . "Why? Is this confidential?" She asked pouting .
He was staring at her, mesmerized, when he heard her question . "Ah . . . no . It"s not much . " He let go of the papers and arranged them on the coffee table .
Dan stood up, then he cupped her cheeks .
He was about to lean in for a kiss, when she blurted out, "The night is still young . I wanna explore the lake . Can we?"
He flashed an amused smile . "Sure . " he said, then he turned to the closet to put on clothes .

Black pumps were clicking with the strides on the floor of the meeting room . Aoi Xiu sat at the head of the table .
"You may begin . " Her voice was clear . She leaned back on her chair and crossed her fair and smooth legs as she listened intently to the report .
"This is the design of the new model to be released in two months time . " The director was showing the features of a new cellular phone through his presentation .
Suddenly, a phone rang . "Igarashi-shachou, Chen sensei ga denwa ni imasu(1) . " Her secretary whispered .
Aoi Xiu"s face was filled with worry, and the people in the room halted whatever they were doing to look at her .
She took the phone then she looked back at the executives before her . "Kaigi o enki suru(2) . "
Aoi Xiu, known in the Igarashi group still as Igarashi Aoi, the acting president for the headquarters, was known for her dedication and diligence on work . People also know that only one thing precedes over work for her . That was family .
As Aoi Xiu walked briskly to the elevators after taking the call, she turned to her a.s.sistant . "Get my plane ready . "
"Hai, Sachou . "
They exited the building and rushed into a white Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV which sped away to the surprise of the guards .
Aoi Xiu was tremblingly clutching her phone as she boarded her private plane . She had hesitated to answer Dr . Chen"s call, afraid to hear that something might have happened to her son . However, at the moment, this was excitement .
Masaichi Xiu is awake!
