A Surprise Evening

Deng Hou gave an apologetic smile to the couple for they all knew that his dad was playing match maker. Liu Wei gave a small smile and a nod his way to acknowledge his apology.

Su Kai on the other hand ignored the whole situation all together and just started piling food on Liu Wei's plate like he didn't have a care in the world. By the time that he was done, her plate looked like it could feed two people.

She glared at him and whispered, "what are you doing? I'm not going to be able to eat all of this!"

He only smiled and said "I need to plump you up, because I'm afraid if I don't others will get the wrong idea that I don't take good care of my woman."

What a bunch of baloney! this guy is just spewing nonsense left and right. Liu Wei felt a bit embarrassed but didn't know how to handle this side of Su Kai. She knew he was trying to mark his territory, but really? This is way to excessive, she didn't want to get fat! She thought he was overreacting.

Mayor Hou looked at them with a sad look on his face. He really found this girl emensely outstanding. Her pedigree and character are top notch! She was top of her game in business one of a very few women who could dominate in the business world. She's not only smart but beautiful and she even risked her life to save a stranger. Not many people would even bother to help strangers now adays. People were all about themselves and didn't bother about community or being a hero. Times are totally different now.

He knew that it was futile to even hope that she would become his daughter in law. How will he find another outstanding daughter in law. He was indebted to her and knew she wouldn't ask for anything. And he wouldn't just allow her to leave without receiving anything from him.

"You know my dear, if you lack or need anything in the future do, please don't hesitate to ask. You are always welcome to come and find me should you need me. Same goes for my son."

Liu Wei was touched by his sincerity, "Thank you so much, I am not in need of anything but I appreciate it. I really didn't do much today."

They had a lovely dinner and exchanged contact information. Networking wasn't a bad thing so Liu Wei wasn't against it, it's always good to have more people in your corner.

She got to know the Mayor a bit more and she found that he was a very upright man, which is hard to find in people who are in politics. His reason for being a Mayor was to get rid of poverty in his city. He started off poor and knew the hardships people faced on the daily. He was determined to not have that for himself and his family.

He had hit the jackpot when he married. His current wife is the daughter of an old family who made their money through retail. She is quite wealthy, they met by accident when they were both on vacation.

She had forgotten her purse in the taxi she was in and had no way of getting home. He happened to be near by and he approached her thinking that she might have been lost as she was acting a bit strange. She told him her situation and he was happy to help. He was always taught by his parents to always lend people a helping hand because good karma always come back 10 times your way.

He gave her his money and offered to take her to her hotel. After that day, they became really good friends and then after she confessed her feelings for him they becamme lovers. He never knew she was an heiress to a big retail company the whole time that they were dating. It wasn't until he met her family a year later.

He was so surprised to be ushered into a big mansion with maids and butlers left and right. After the initial shock he got used to it, he was also lucky that his future inlaws liked him and didn't mind that he was a poor boy. He was still in love with his wife and it's easy to tell because he has that look of love whenever he speaks about her.

Liu Wei got a bit teary eyed because it reminded her so much of her parents in her previous life. They were solely devoted to each other, it was true love. The kind where you know each other so well that you finish each other's sentences. No matter if they were struggling or making money her parents would always stick to each other like glue.

A tear falls down her cheek and Su Kai notices it. He doesn't understand what made her so emotional but the Mayors story must have touched her. He vowed that he would love her like that. He picks up a handkerchief and gently pats away the tear.

She laughs and says "What a lovely story, its so touching to know that there are still couples out there who are truly madly and deeply inlove. "

"I would love for you to meeet my wife the next time we are all back in China. Since I have your contact I will set up a dinner then"

He didn't leave any room for a rejection and Liu Wei kindly accepted it.

It was evening and they decided to stroll hand in hand at a park nearby. It was overlooking a beautiful garden and it made the mood very romantic.

"I will love you and only you forever" Su Kai says out of nowhere.

Liu Wei looked at him with surprise and before she knew it he was down on one knee.

"I don't want to live another day without you near me, will you marry me?"
