It was a Start

The two were out this morning, having their coffee in Ru Shi's favorite café. As they were drinking their drink in silence, Chia Hao made sure that he ordered her favorite flavored croissant.

The moment it arrived, Ru Shi was slightly surprised that even Chia Hao was very well aware of what her favorites are.

It made Ru Shi smile at him, saying something unexpected that made Chia Hao's heart beat faster.

"I know that we are married because it was arranged…" she started, putting her mug down. "But right now, I'll try my best to be a wife to you. I'd like to see us work out."

"A-are you serious?"

Chia Hao sat in disbelief as he listened to Ru Shi's words. They had been married for years now, but it still felt like they were strangers.
