Zhao was looking at himself in the mirror as he was dressed up in his marriage dress. He looked at himself from head to toe and took a heavy breath when his father came there. Lee Shan walked to him and then put his hand on Zhao's shoulder, who, turned to look at him.

"This is a great day for you and Zhu Rui. From here onward you are stepping to a new journey of life," asserted Lee Shan. Zhao nodded and said, "You are happy that's why I married. Today you will lose your son for forever." Lee Shan looked into Zhao's eyes who were saying many things to him.

"You will thank me later!" Lee Shan stated.

"I do not think so," Zhao answered immediately. Chynaa came there and told that they should go as it was almost time for the marriage. Lee Shan patted on Zhao's shoulder and they went out of the dressing room.

Zhu Rui on the other hand was happy but at the same time sad that Zhao was still trying to pull away from the marriage. But she was adamant on her decision on getting married to him. Qiuruo Feng came there and saw her daughter who was looking like a fairy in that wedding gown.

"My daughter, you are looking so pretty," complimented Qiuruo. Zhu Rui smiled and got up from the long chair. She walked to him and hugged him tightly. "I will miss you," said Zhu Rui. Qiuruo got teary when Rui's mother told them that groom is waiting for them. They left for the wedding hall. Zhu Rui was holding her father's hand and walked with him to the aisle. Zhao was looking at her but his face was dull with no expressions. As Rui approached near him, Qiuruo handed her hand in Zhao's hand.

The few guests there clapped when Zhao pulled Zhu Rui up on a slight high platform. They both were looking into each other's eyes: one with love while the other with dull eyes. The priest was chanting the holy words of marriage. They both spoke those words after him. At the end when priest said the groom may kiss the bride, rose the nervousness in Zhu Rui. She knew Zhao would not take the initiative so she pulled Zhao's tie and kissed him on the lips.

People there smiled and clapped at the same time. Zhao had expected such a thing from Zhu Rui. He put her hands on her shoulders and then pushed her lightly. Zhu Rui smiled and whispered, "My husband, congrats on getting married to me." Zhao did not reply to her and averted his gaze. The priest then announced that they both are husband and wife. Zhao could not believe he was married in just minutes. He wanted to run away from there but could not.

Zhu Rui grabbed his hand and took him down the aisle. Taking the blessings from their parents they walked out for some wedding photos. After doing that, with tossing the bouquet ceremony the marriage was over. They were both took to their wedding car. Zhu Rui's brother told Zhao to take care of her. Zhao made her sit inside the car and then got in. The car left from there taking the two to their penthouse which was specially constructed by Lee Shan for his son and daughter- in –law.

In the car, Zhu Rui was sobbing when Zhao said, "it seems you are not fully ready to leave them." Zhu Rui wiped the tears off her cheeks. "It is common for a girl," she said. Zhao did not answer to her and told the driver to drive fast.

After two hours, in the late noon, they reached the penthouse. They stepped down the car when they saw an old man who was the butler of the house. He greeted and congratulated them on getting married. "My name is Xiao long, the butler of this house. Your room is already prepared. If you need anything just call for me," said Xiao long in the most polite way.

"Okay," said Zhao and gestured Zhu Rui to follow him. They climbed the stairs and then turned left for the master bedroom. As they entered the room, Zhu Rui's eyes glistened seeing the room. The king sized platform bed was at the centre. The book matched marble was enhancing the beauty of the room manifolds. The coordinated piece of bed, headboard wall, bedside units and closets made bedroom look as a single element thus making it unique.

"It feels so luxurious," murmured Zhu Rui who walked further in. She went to the balcony and it was majestic. There was a pool too which could be seen from the balcony. She came in and said, "it is constructed beautifully. Uncle- no, I mean father has put so much efforts on it."

Zhao smiled and said, "you should thank the architecture for this. Dad just paid him." Zhu Rui gave a nod when Zhao went to the closet and saw it empty. "Why is it empty?" Zhao wondered when they both heard the closing of the door.

Zhao ran to the door but it was closed already. "What happened?" Zhu Rui asked.

"Someone closed the door from outside and there are no clothes in the closet. It must be mom who is doing such petty planning to make me get closer to you," mumbled Zhao. He pulled off the bow tie and then took off the blazer. He unbuttoned his shirt and folded the sleeves up.

"I am going to freshen up. You can go later," said Zhao and walked inside the washroom. Zhu Rui could not even ask him what he was murmuring. She went to the closet and saw there were no clothes. She checked the other closet and found two pairs of clothes for Zhao and her. She took them out. For Zhao it was a pair of t- shirt and pyjama. She looked at her dress which was a sleeveless nightgown.

"Why did they do that?" murmured Zhu Rui and then looked at the nightgown which was above knee. "Ahh, it is so uncomfortable to wear," she said to herself and searched for more clothes inside. But there was nothing.

Zhao came out of the washroom in the bathrobe and told her to go in. "Zhao, these clothes were there inside the closet. You can wear this," asserted Zhu Rui. She hid the nightgown behind her back and stepped back. Throwing it inside the closet she quickly closed the closet and turned to look at Zhao who was coming to her. He took the clothes from him and asked what she would wear.

"Huh- umm. I will wear something," murmured Ru Shi and before Zhao could question him further she ran inside the washroom. Zhao got confused seeing her reaction. He pulled off the bathrobe and quickly wore the clothes. After that he opened the closet and saw that nightgown. Picking it up, he blinked for a few times before throwing it back to the closet. "How can mom do this?" Zhao thought.

Zhu Rui was standing against the door and looked at her gown. "It is fare better than that weird nightgown," murmured Zhu Rui and went to the wash basin. Brushing her teeth, he cleaned her face with water and then after sometime came out of the room.

Zhao was on the bed and had closed his eyes. Zhu Rui came out with quiet steps when Zhao said, "you will wear that long gown all night?" He then opened his eyes and looked at her. She gave a nod and said, "There was nothing inside the closet," Zhu Rui lied.

Zhao picked his phone from the bedside table and called Xiao long. "Please arrange sleeping clothes for Zhu Rui," Zhao said on the phone.

"There is already a dress. Senior Mrs. Bin had herself arranged the things in your room," said Xiao Long.

"There is nothing. You can check yourself," said Zhao to Xiao Long who told him not to worry as he would arrange the dress for Zhu Rui soon. Zhao hung up the call and looked at Zhu Rui who was staring at him.

"He is arranging the clothes for you. There is no couch in the room so you have to sleep on the bed today. From tomorrow take the separate room for you," asserted Zhao.

"No, I will stay here with you," said Zhu Rui with a tiny smile.

"Then I will take a separate for me," stated Zhao, boring gaze at her. Zhu Rui smiled slightly and then walked to him. She sat beside him and said, "I will chase you there too."
