By the end of the week, Bai Jingye left with Lu Mengjie for Switzerland bringing no one with them. No one but them. It was so they could escape from the eyes that monitored their every move.

At first, when Bai Keran learned of this from steward Fang, he tried to change the couple's minds but failed to do so since they were using the 'honeymoon' as their reason. The elder wasn't able to do anything... or so they thought.

Bai Jingye knew that his grandfather wouldn't just sit still without doing anything so he was already expecting that sick old man was going to send someone to keep an eye on them. The 'married' couple already anticipated such actions from Bai Keran's part that was why upon arriving at the foreign country, they were careful with how they acted.

The hotel room they stayed at had two beds. Whenever they were outside, they acted like normal married couples but whenever they went back to the hotel, Lu Mengjie and Bai Jingye kept their distance from each other. Despite that, they began getting along with each other as friends. Not more than that. They respected each other's privacy, they never thought of overstepping their boundaries.

"You're going back?" She blinked a few times in confusion.

They were currently having a night stroll with her, clinging on his arm.

It was a beautiful evening the sky was clear from clouds, exhibiting the starry night. There were couples like them walking in the park. It was filled with a warm romantic atmosphere all around, perfect to deceive the man that was secretly following not far from them.

"Yes. There's an urgent business that needs my attention," he replied as he looked at her. He smiled a bit and continued, "don't worry, I'll be leaving after we've settled our business. Xiao Ruyi will accompany you here after I leave."

She sighed inwardly and looked ahead. Street lights lighted their way, its brightness reaching the miniature garden. There were benches in every corner for people to sit. Just when everything was beginning to become peaceful for them.

Bai Jingye was not as bad as she first thought he was. He may be facing his laptop for hours but he has never forgotten to take care of her. He was considerate, yes. he never failed to surprise her peacetime he showed his kindness to her. If only he treated her this way back then, they could have worked on their relationship… but she has already given up on that idea. She was pregnant and was not sure if there was a husband looking or waiting for her.

"Tomorrow will be the day," he said, reminding her of their plans.

Oh… tomorrow. Days flew fast. She almost forgot that they were always being followed whenever they left the hotel they were staying at. Whoever was spying on them, that person was doing a good job in keeping his presence. She has always tried her best not to search for the same man who was stalking them nonstop during the past days.

The side of her lips curled up into a grin as she happily exclaimed, "we're finally going to the chocolate factory?"

The man stared at her for a while with a helpless look in his eyes. He knew that she was looking forward to visiting the factory. "Yes."

Her face brightened up. She was so delighted that she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

"By the way, I was able to get more information about the Lu family. It may just be the general profile but it might end up triggering more of your memories."

Her family... If she has to be honest about it, she was not that curious anymore. It was not the time and place to talk about her family. Besides, she has other important matters to focus on. She wanted to deal with her problems one by one, starting from trying to have a safe pregnancy then to giving birth safely, then to protecting her child, then to... she paused on thinking. She didn't want to get stress out by suddenly thinking of all her troubles. One at a time. She has to deal with it one at a time.

"We should talk about this some other time," she said, shooting him a small, bitter smile. "For now, I think we should go back. We have a long day ahead of us."

He quietly looked at her yet once again without saying another word whenever she made the same expression when talking about her family. She may not notice it herself but... he did. She was unconsciously avoiding something.

…

The next day, they headed to Lindt's home of chocolate located in Zurich did they finally lose him. Of course, the plan wouldn't work if it was not for Tian Ruyi and her men. The keeping an eye on the spy from the shadows. They arrived two days earlier in the country ever since Bai Jingye told them the plan.

At first, when she entered the building, she was mesmerized by the fantasy-like chocolate world. She walked around wide-eyed and distracted by the sweets around her. Sadly, she was brought back to reality when her husband reminded her of their plan.

"There's plenty of chocolates around. It'll be a waste if I leave without even buying some," she huffed, pouting at him.

"Then buy what you want, we need to leave soon."

"Yes sir." Lu Mengjie went and entered a shop. She looked around the place that was filled with souvenirs and desserts, different kinds. From white chocolates to dark chocolates, from shapes to colors, everything was eye-catching, so pleasing to look at. She felt like she had turned back into a little girl, a child who would become so excited just by being surrounded by sweets. Since Bai Jingye was going to pay for what she was going to buy, she didn't hold back.

"Huh? Sister Bai Xue?" A teenage-looking boy wearing one of the staff uniforms approached her, gaping at her in surprise.
