After dinner, Ming was full as she ate too much. She decided to take a walk, and Liwei accompanied her. They went to the garden for a walk.

  It's been a few days when she came to this house but she never explore it much. And this garden looks different from what it looks like in the morning.

  In the darkness of night, with the soothing light of the moon, everything seems so perfect.

  A garden surrounded by trees, plants and the fragnance of flowers made everything perfect. It makes the night more beautiful.

  In her past life, the palace had numerous of gardens which was larger than this one. They were full of flowers and trees, much more greener than this.

  For others it was like a paradise but for her, it was not less than a prison. There was no one to accompany her to take a walk. Ji Cheng was either always on border or was working in his study. She never had a happy time with him and never get to enjoy the beauty of the so called paradise.

  But thankfully this time, she was not alone.

  She unconsciously turned to side and glance at him.

  As she was busy thinking about this, Liwei took her hand in his, interlocking their fingers. She was caught off guard but she didn't take her hand away.

  Her ears turned red as an embarassed smile appeared on her lips. They were walking in the garden without saying a word.

  It was quite but not suffocating. It was a silence filled with peace.

  While walking beside her, he could not help but think? how good it would be to spend the life with her like this.

  It is like a second chance that they gave to their relationship. However, it felt more like a first time. the heart fluttering feeling while holding her hand, was just blissful.

  'I should cancel those divorce papers, tomorrow. So that she won't get a chance to leave me'. A thought apeared in his mind as he took a note of it.

  He glanced at her and when he saw her beautiful smile, his heart skips a beat. Her one smile can make him crumble on his knees. She doesn't need to make efforts to seduce him, her single smile can do all the work.

  He stopped in his steps, which surprised her. He turned to her side and looked at her.

  " What are……?" She wondered why he stopped all of a sudden.

  However, her words were interuppted when he leaned down and give her a peck on her forhead.

  He looked into her eyes and said, " Xie Ming, I will wait for you". She was surprised when he held onto her wrist and pulled her into his embrace. He hugged her tightly, not wanting to let her go.

  She was surprised by his actions but didn't struggle against him. She sighed softly and hugged him back, by wrapping her arms around his waist.

  They didn't say anything for a while and stood there in the same position. Sometimes, there is no need to say anything. Silence can do everything.

  After a while, they separated and walked towards the swing in the garden which was near the pond in the back garden.

  In front of the swing, there was a side table on which Liwei has arranged for some tea and desserts for her.

  He knows that she likes tea and sweets. So he already prepared them for her. She also needs to eat more. She is so thin. He will make her eat more so that later, he can enjoy her curves.

  A devilish smile appeared on his face when he thought about this. Xie Ming was enjoying the cool breeze while swinging her legs. She was oblivious of his thoughts and ate the desserts happily.

  He glanced at her and said, " Today Xinyi has invited us for dinner at their place. She has said, that your father and mother miss you and wanted to see you. Do you want to go?" he asked hesitantly.

  Since her relationship with her family is not good, he would understand if she decides to not go.

  " What did you say to her" she asked.

  Her brows furrowed as she tried to remember how was Xie Ming's relationship with Xie Family.

  She furrowed her brows as she recalled that Xie Family is so selfish and has always treated Xie Ming badly.

  And for Xinyi, she was like the same as Xiao Li from her past. She tries to pretend as white lotus while she is evil from her heart.

  Liwei glanced at her and replied, " I didn't give her any reply. And if you don't want to go, I will reject her invitation." He said while trying to read her expressions.

  Her expressions were indifferent as she stared at nowhere. He was confused. What exactly she was thinking?

  He was prepared to hear 'No' because he knows that she doesn't like Xinyi and her mother. Moreover, she never visited them in the past too. Even after their wedding, she never went back to her place.

  So he just wanted to ask her once to know her actual thoughts.

  But when he heard her reply, he was bewildered. This was not something he was expecting from her.
