Mo Lihua wakes up the next morning with a big strong arm around her waist and warm body next to hers.

She felt sore all over, but the smile on her face did not look like she was in pain.

It did not even damper her mood when her eyes sting as she forgot to remove the contact lenses before sleeping. 

"What's wrong?" He asked, his voice croaky in the morning. His voice was deep and husky.

"My contact lense…" Mo Lihua explained with a smile. She could barely see his face, so she decided to reach for it instead.

Yu Qiao hummed, allowing her to touch his face almost blindly. "You don't want to do eye surgery? You cry a lot, with that thing on."

"I am thinking about it." She said, feeling the stumble on the lower half of his face. "Did not know you were hairy on the face."

"I made sure to look presentable most of the time," He said, his eyes, hungrily looking at her n.a.k.e.dness. Unable to resist, Yu Qiao grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to bed.

"Hungry," He said before making a chomping sound as he kissed her shoulders.

"No more." Mo Lihua covered his mouth with a chuckle as his stumble was tickling her. "Behave."

Yu Qiao pulled himself up to his elbow and looked at her amusedly. "Behave? I am not a kid."

"Whatever." She said, covering herself with the blanket and lay back to go back to sleep.

"Okay. I want to do this, whatever, with you." Yu Qiao declared mischievously, before diving under the blankets and not allowing Mo Lihua to sleep some more…

It was probably the best day of his life. No one was bothering them as they stayed inside the bedroom until sunset.

There was an occasional knock for food, but when they do not go out, Rita, made it a point to leave the tray of food in front of the door that they could pick up when they got hungry.

'This feels like we are on a honeymoon…' Yu Qiao thought brightly as he saves the photos and some naughty videos of them on his laptop. He grins stupidly as he imagined Mo Lihua's bright red face as she angrily asked him to delete everything when he learned about his secret files.

For now, he had decided to make plans on how to make their day better.

So far, them, just staying inside the room together, had a lot of benefits. They were able to talk about a lot of things. 

She also shared some details regarding her mother's family. It was still unbelievable, but the money that she used to help him was proof that such a wealthy and crazy family exists. Yu Qiao also felt that she was holding back to sharing some more details.

The only thing Yu Qiao knew was that they were dangerous. If they could hurt their relatives because of gains, then they could do so with anyone.

At least, Mo Lihua assured him that they could not touch or kill anyone just like that as the police are on standby, watching for their safety. Angelo was also taking care of everything to keep them safe.

Yu Qiao knew that Mo Lihua was worried about her father's whereabouts. However, she knows that all they could do was not to give up on the search and hope that he was still alive.

For him, though, he already let fate decide on his father's life. All he could do was to make sure that once his father woke up, the company would be on the best shape. 

He also wanted to make things right between him and Mo Lihua. Yu Qiao knew he needed to do something to make up for his stupidity when they got married.

Yu Qiao had a plan, and he would need Rita's help with it.

A jewelry shop in City S…

Yu Qiao went to a jewelry store with Rita. He was looking for a perfect ring. Though poor, he wanted to give Mo Lihua still something that she would be proud of wearing as a married woman.

Their relationship did not look like a marriage that was just in paper anymore, and Yu Qiao refused to let them go to that route.

"That looks pretty. Don't you think so?" A female suddenly next, Yu Qiao as he looked at a silver band ring embedded with three small diamonds.

Yu Qiao was startled and looked at the woman. She seems to be a woman in her late forties, with an aura of an upper-class.

He just smiled and nodded. Yu Qiao's gaze returned to the ring considering buying it for Mo Lihua.

'Where is Rita when you need her?' He thought with a frown, as he looked around the store wanting to get the maid's opinion.

"Is that for your fiancé?" The woman asked again.

"My wife. I was late, but still lucky that she married me." He replies, somewhat ashamed.

"Oh? Congratulations then." She then placed a hand on her bag and like she was looking for something. "Here, this is a wedding gift." The woman said, handing over a red envelope to Yu Qiao. Upon checking, he learned that an envelope was a dinner coupon for two on an expensive hotel.

"Eh? Ma'am I could not accept this." Yu Qiao said almost in confusion. How could a stranger give away something?

"Don't worry. I have a lot. This was just a gift that I would give to anyone." The woman waves her hand casually before she looked at her watch. "Alright, treat your wife well. I need to go." She said as she turned around to leave.

"Ma'am, thank you so much. Can I at least have your name as a courtesy?" Yu Qiao asked gratefully.

"You can call me Zuri. Ma'am makes me feel old." She said and left in a hurry.

Yu Qiao smiled, shaking his head. It did not take long for Rita to show up claiming that she helped an old lady. He then asked Rita's opinion regarding the ring and agreed that it was beautiful for Mo Lihua so they bought it. 

He was satisfied, unaware that he would soon have the most traumatic experience and the next time he woke up, Yu Qiao would be in the hospital and had forgotten everything entirely…
