You can leave

Zen said "Nothing, let's go upstairs. Come."

When they were walking towards the lift nearby. Ning noticed red rose petals below arranged like a carpet. She suddenly stopped.

By seeing her expressionless face, Zen asked "Did you like it?"

Before, all this was supposed to be completed at 10. But since time had changed to 6, he arranged everything hurriedly. He directly rushed to company from airport to check all the arrangements. He was satisfied but was afraid Ning wouldn't like it. The main surprise he had planned was in a Mo family's Suzhao resort in the evening.

"Super" said Ning smiling which looked like a forced one.

Lift arrived and both went inside. Zen said "Ning, I was stupid back then, that is why I slept with girls because no one were there to tell me. I thought everyone enjoys having sex with different kinds of girls but I understood that those girls are not permanent. And if I have a single girl permanently with me that is more than enough is what I understood after meeting you. She will take care of me, she will encourage me and she will always support me. But those girls come into my bed only for money. In my friend circle, everyone are like this. So back then I thought it was right. Except my friend circle, I don't know much about other people outside."

He stopped speaking when lift reached. Both went inside the cabin. Then Zen grabbed her hand to make her face towards the lift before she turned to the other side and held Ning's both hands, he continued "But Ning, when I met you I changed a lot. I learnt so many things from you. And also got to know what is right and wrong. I literally did not sleep with even one girl after meeting you for the first time in the office. And you know, that day, it was your first time touching a boy but girls of your age in my friend circle might have already slept more than five times. That day when I touched you, I got to know how it would be felt to be touched for the first time. My feelings were totally different when I touched you. But I never felt in that way when I touched others. I think I fell in love with you that day. You know I couldn't stop thinking about you later that day. I just want one thing. Ning, Can you be my side till the end?"

Ning lifted her head to see him. There were complicated feelings in her. She said "You know, I don't know why but I couldn't control my emotions when I got to know that you had sex with others. So I think I acted harshly. I am sorry. I don't know what those emotions are, or what to call those feelings or it was jealousy because of love or friendship, I know nothing, I am unable to conclude myself."

She did not understand what she was telling. By seeing her expressionless pale anxious face, he hugged her even though she did tell anything clearly. He thought it may take time for her to tell. Even she hugged him tightly. He was more than happy at her reflexive reaction.

He suddenly said "Come turn that side." When she turned she found that the cabin was so beautifully decorated with lots of roses and flowers. All the curtains were closed, dim lights and lanterns were lit up which were decorated in between flowers. Both sat on two chairs across table with dishes for breakfast. There was dumplings, stir-fried noodles, steamed buns stuffed with pork, tofu pudding and pineapple juice. All were Ning's favorite dishes. They had breakfast while speaking.

After completing the breakfast, he stroking his forehead cutely said "Today evening I want to take you somewhere. It might take long. Can you please not say no?"

"Yeah, but what should I tell in home. I don't want to tell that I am going with a boy. They will ask so many questions. I don't have answers for them."

He anxiously said "Can you please try? Maybe lie to them."

She gave him a look and after a thought said "Okay, I will tell that I am staying with Yixi today night."

He was very happy and said "Thank You."

It was already 8:30, slowly everyone were coming to the office.

Ning asked "If you have any work in the office, do it. I will call Yixi and tell her by then."

Zen said seeing the time in his watch "Okay, then by this time my father would reach the office. I will go downstairs to the parking lot and escort him to the cabin."

She nodded her head and went to the corner, sat on the chair before dialing Yixi's number.

Yixi excitedly asked "Hey Ning, you called so early. Did you meet him? What did you tell for his proposal?"

"Yixi, you don't even know whether he proposed or not, you are asking me what did I tell?"

"Girl, stop. I told you yesterday that he will propose. I know he did, just tell me what did you say? Don't tell me that you said What you said to me 'Maybe we are more than friends but less than lovers.' "

"I don't know what I said but at that moment I said everything that had come in my mind."

"What? Ning, what the heck did you tell girl?"

"Yixi, I seriously don't remember anything except that I said something."

Then Ning said everything that happened from what she found about to him yesterday till now.

Ning said "So according to my parents I am staying at your house today."

"This is all okay. Leave this. Everything he said was super, I think he fell in deep love with you from what all he said, at least for that also didn't you fall for him? I would have fallen for it girl. Wow! he is as cool as ice."

"Yixi, stop girl."

"Why should I stop? He was really awesome with his words and the way he expressed his feelings."

"Okay leave that now."

"Yeah, maybe big surprise than this, is waiting for you in the evening. Be ready for all of that."

Just then, Zen entered. "Okay then, bye."

"Yeah, See you later."

Ning said "Where is your father?"

"He got a call, he is speaking."

"Then I will take my leave."

"No wait till my father come."

Ning suddenly remembered something and asked "Hey I heard that you called everyone to office to introduce someone. Who is that?"

He murmured to himself 'It's you and yet you don't know. The person whom I am going to introduce is asking whom I am going to introduce.'

He said "It's you."

"Oh! okay." she said and suddenly sensed something and said "What? Me!! Noo."

"I want to introduce you to the world. So that everyone knows you belong to me and they won't even touch a strand of your hair."

"See I am really not ready for this. And my father is here, he will freak out after seeing me."

"Ning, .."

"No, sorry and I did not even accept your proposal."

"It means you don't want to be with me?"

"I need some time. I am not understanding. I fell like it's very complicated."

He did not want to persuade her, so he said "Okay then we will meet in the evening." He looked very dejected.

"I am very sorry and what about your father. I think he came to introduce me."

"I will handle him. You can leave."

First time he said that she can leave, so she felt very bad. But she can't do anything, he did not even consult her before arranging all this.

After sometime his father entered and asked "Zen, Who is that? Can I meet her?"

"Dad, she just went. She said she is not ready for all this. Let me just present my proposal in meeting since we already calling everyone."

"Zen, now I agree to your marriage wholeheartedly. Because everyone who had come to us for your marriage proposal were just for fame and money, but according to what she did now she was not for that. She was not here to be introduced as Mrs Mo, so that she gains popularity. Nice choice. No, Great choice my son."

"Thank you so much dad. But I think she is still not in love with me."
