You will be the only closest person in my life.

Liu Huang was very sleepy, she might doze off right on the chess board. Grandpa Zi noticed and asked twice already to go to sleep, which she refused.

Zi Zexian came inside grandfather's study where they were playing chess.

"Hello Grandfather, I am here to take Miss Liu Huang to her room.Its very late, can she rest and continue to play tomorrow."

Zi Zexian turned to Liu Huang

" Miss Huang, if you follow me, I will take you to your room. we are extremely sorry for the delay in getting your room ready."

Both of were shocked to see Zi Zexian changed behavior. More than Liu Huang, Elder Zi was shocked to the core.

Since Zi Zexian was not getting any response, he asked

"Miss Liu, do you want to come now or later?"

Liu Huang came back to her senses and replied

" Yes, I m coming right away. let me just say goodnight to Grandpa Zi."

" Goodnight Grandpa Zi, let's continue our little game tomorrow."

Liu Huang followed Zi Zexian quietly. Both the walked in silence without talking to each other.

Elder Zi saw them and he was smiling at their behavior. He sighed himself and said

"These days kids are unbelievable."

Zi Zexian led her room and the maid came inside to serve soup for supper.

" Miss Liu, I am extremely sorry about my inappropriate behavior. Please drink soup and get good rest. the maids have transferred all your belongings here. if you need anything, please reach out to me. I will be in the next room"

With that he was going to leave the room, he stopped by Liu Huang soft hands. she was trying to hold hand.

" Yes Miss Liu, Do you need something."

"Mr. Zi, sorry for bullying you during our undergraduate degree. I assumed that you are one hell of a womanizer. People were teasing us together suspecting that we were in relationship. So in order to get rid of that I just played with you. I hoped for you understand. I never thought instead I had hurt your feelings badly. "

Liu Huang got a decent understanding about him after seeing him closely and as well from the interaction with Elder Zi and Mother Zi.

Zi Zexian's face was expressionless. He was already aware but, he didn't like the idea of getting teased by her all the time.

"Miss Liu, if there's nothing, I will take my leave.

saying that he left swiftly outside.

Liu Huang was still in her thoughts. Maybe it will take time to break the wall him. where is he gonna go.

After freshen up, Xue Nuan went downstairs to find Zi Peng. He was still on phone in the living room.

The maid came to her and asked for come dining table for dinner. They have prepared a feast for new wedded couple as per the instructions of Mother Zi.

Zi Peng ended the call and brought his waiting wife to dining area. He made her sit down and sat next to her. He instructed all the maids to leave so that he can have some alone time with his wife.

The maids giggled behind him and left the house quickly.

"So what does my sweet wife want to eat?" Zi Peng was trying to feed since she didn't eat properly the entire day due to the wedding.

Xue Nuan is tired mentally as well as physically. she doesn't want to do anything else but sleep.

She just sighed and kept quiet. She didn't want to say no to him.

Zi Peng understood and lifted her in princess style. He placed her in the Bed gently and covered her with quilt. He went down and came back quickly with a bowl in his hand.

" Nuna, Just have this chicken porridge and sleep please."

She couldn't deny his sweet gesture. She sat up by resting herself in the Headrest.

He started feeding her one by one spoon into her mouth.

"Ah Peng, Am I troubling you more"Xue Nuan wanted to ask him genuinely, because he is the one putting more effort among both of them.

He was stuck on the word"Ah Peng". he felt honey is flowing gently on his ears.

since she didn't get any response, she got worried about it

"did I cross my line by addressing you intimately. I m sorry, I will not do it if you don't prefer it."

"Stop!Stop! Nuna, Don't get worked up. No one ever addressed me this sweetly or I never allowed anyone. but I like it when you call me this way, tell me why did you suddenly call me 'Ah Peng'."

"Actually I feel suddenly very close to you. calling you just Peng makes me feel like a stranger to you. I don't want to be a stranger to you. I want to be the closest person in your life, so I called you."

"Really, it goes without saying, you are and you will be the only closest person in my life."

" So Nuna, did the kiss in the balcony made you close to me..tell me, tell me..." he teased by winking at her as well.

She blushed very badly, Her flawless white skin became beet red.

he stopped teasing and continued to feed her, didn't want to disturb her while eating.

He saw that she finished her porridge,he leaned forward and kissed her gently.

"Goodnight wife, Sleep tight. I will be in study for important work. don't worry okay."

"Ah Peng, Don't go, Can you please be here with me till I sleep. I have not slept properly since I have come to this country. "

His heart ached a little hearing this from her.

"Of course dear Nuna, just wait a minute."

He quickly came to other side of the bed and pulled her into his embrace.

she was quickly drifting into sleep. suddenly she woke up and said

"Ah Peng, what about you, you didn't have anything to eat. sorry I have been selfish."

"Nuna, be a good girl and go to sleep. I will eat dinner later. I can't sleep in empty stomach. don't worry about it."

Then she fell into sleep in his arms. she was looking peaceful in sleep.

he was watching her sleep for some time.

" Nuna, I think you are looking peaceful in sleep because without you realizing you have started to trust me. that's also why you are feeling safe in my arms. I promise you that I will always cherish our relationship and marriage. Goodnight Nuna."

He placed her gently back on the bed and left the bedroom after kissing her on the forehead.

He went to his study room and sat on his table. he was wondering that he has achieved so much in life at young age. but that never brought any Inner happiness or satisfaction. But now she brings enormous joy to his lonely heart. He should actually thank the old man for giving the precious thing in his life.
