"I know you do not love me but that thing I do not want to hear from your mouth," stated Zhu Rui while staring into Zhao's eyes. Zhao grabbed her finger and put it down. "Let's go. They all are waiting for us," mumbled Zhao.

Zhu Rui averted her gaze from him and grabbed the cocktail glass which was placed on the table. "I do not want to go. You should leave." Saying this she gulped down the remaining cocktail in the glass. Zhao got up from the sofa and walked away.

Zhu Rui smiled and asked for more from the waiter who was going across her. She smiled again before taking the other shot. Before she could drink other, Zhao grabbed her hand; took the glass from her; put it on the table there. "Leave my hand," murmured Zhu Rui, tried taking out her hand from his grip when Zhao pulled her up. She landed on his chest but reiterated back.

"You- you were gone," muttered Zhu Rui when Zhao carried her into his arms and walked away from the lounge. As they came out, Zhu Rui put hand on her eyes because of the bright lights. "Drop me down," Zhu Rui stuttered. Zhao did not listen to her, when she heard the sound of door opening. Zhao bent down and put her gently down on the seat. Fastening her seatbelt, he went to the other side to get into the car.

Zhu Rui was resting her head on the head restraint. There was a tint of red on her cheeks due to the drinks she took. Her eyes were half closed and mind was semi conscious. "Why can you not love me? Mishi is married," murmured Zhu Rui and tilted her head slightly, looking at Zhao with half closed eyes.

Zhao, who was going to start the car, turned his head to look at her. "You are drunk," mumbled Zhao. "We are not going home. If they will see your this state then-"

"They will doubt what happened to their daughter. She hardly drinks and if she drinks it means someone has hurt her. I was excited for my surprise to you but then I realized my fiancé do not love me," muttered Zhu Rui. Zhao averted his gaze, turned the engine on and drove from there to a hotel where they could stay for a night.

In the entire drive Zhu Rui was blabbering about Zhao which irritated him but at the same time concerned him. They reached 'The Bliss'. He already messaged the hotel manager to prepare a room for them so as they reached there, he went directly to the hotel taking Zhu Rui with him.

As he entered the room, he put Zhu Rui on the bed there and then sat on the bed. His head was tilted back while his hands were supporting him. He had closed his eyes and cursing himself for his messed up life when he felt Zhu Rui's arms around him. "Rui," murmured Zhao when Zhu Rui rested her head on his back.

"I cannot forget my first love. Can you not see the love of mine towards you?" Zhu Rui asked. There was an utter silence between the two. Zhu Rui understood Zhao would never look at her. She loosened her grip from her, took them back when Zhao caught her hands and turned to look at her.

"When you know my heart then why are you doing so much efforts? You are only hurting yourself doing this," asserted Zhao.

Zhu Rui snickered and said, "I am not hurting myself. I do not want to see get hurt. I have seen you the way you look at Mishi but she never looked at you with those eyes. I do not want you to be in pain because of her."

"I have given up on her the day she talked out with me. It is just my heart is not able to take it sometimes. You should sleep," said Zhao and released her hands but Zhu Rui did not let them go.

"I want to heal your heart," said Zhu Rui and wrapped her one hand around Zhao's neck. She pulled him closer to her and gently put her lips onto his. Her eyes were closed while Zhao's eyes were opened. She was nibbling his lips but Zhao did not respond back. A tear drop rolled down Zhu Rui's eye as reality hit her again- 'Zhao does not love her.' So, she pulled away.

Zhao got up from the bed and walked away to the balcony. Zhu Rui started crying and then lay down on the bed. Zhao in the balcony gazed at the sky which was turned red as the evening was falling. "Every love story does not lead to good ending," murmured Zhao.

Xian, Mishi and Mark reached the apartment. Mark told Mishi about the medicines and told that he would come next day with Yin again. "You do not need to come. Tell mom that I am okay so she should not worry," said Xian who was on the bed.

Mark nodded and then told them to take care of each other, before leaving from there. Mishi came inside the bedroom after closing the door and started working. "Mishi, come here. Sit beside me," said Xian, gesturing towards the bed.

"I am coming in a while. Let me put the clothes for laundry," saying this Mishi went inside the washroom. She came out after a while and then went towards Xian. "Now, lie down and take some sleep," asserted Mishi.

"I was sleeping in the hospital too. Let��s talk about more things. I will tell you many things," said Xian with a smile. Mishi nodded and then got into the bed. "How is your arm? Is it hurting?" Mishi questioned.

"It is not hurting. Your head is light like a feather, so you can put it on my shoulder. Moreover, my right hand has hurt not the left," muttered Xian. Mishi smiled and rested her head on her shoulder.

"So where was I? Yes, you planned a surprise for me before our marriage. We even did a dance together. My heart pounds crazily whenever I dance with you. That day is most memorable day of my life as you even proposed me for the marriage," stated Xian. His eyes were glistening recalling those moments.

"We stopped doing those things after marriage," muttered Mishi and raised her head to look at Xian.

"Yes, we will do that. Do you want to do now?" Xian asked, looking into her eyes.

"What to do now?" Mishi asked.

"Dance. We can do a couple dance," asserted Xian.

"No, we cannot do that until your hand is fine," stated Mishi. Xian looked at his plastered hand and told her he would trouble her a lot because of his injured hand.

"You can trouble me any time," answered Mishi. Xian smiled and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Change my shirt," said Xian.

"I changed your shirt a while ago in the hospital," replied Mishi.

"But I am getting that ethanol like smile from it. I want to change it," muttered Xian. Mishi nodded and then got down the bed. She took out another shirt from the cupboard and came back. Gently she removed the small belt of plaster case and removed it from Xian's neck.

"Do not move your hand too much, okay," said Mishi and started unbuttoning his shirt. Removing that, she helped him wearing the other shirt. Xian was staring at her when Mishi asked him what he was looking at.

"I am looking at my love," said Xian in a low, deep voice. Mishi smiled slightly. She was buttoning up her shirt when Xian pulled her from his left hand, thus making her sit on his lap. "Xian, you started again. Stop," mumbled Mishi when Xian replied, "I cannot do that." He leaned onto her shoulder when Mishi said his arm would be hurt.

Xian leaned back and told her to tie the case around his hand then. Mishi nodded and fastened the case around the plaster. "Now, do not move it. I am going to made-" Xian put his lips on hers thus stopping her from speaking.

Slightly pulling away he said, "I want you." Mishi's hands were on his lower shirt as she was buttoning them when Xian grabbed her hands with his left hand. Mishi parted her lips slightly and then started kissing Xian who reciprocated back. He went into the mouth of Mishi to taste her and their tongues started dancing together. He showered kissed on her jaw line and then landed on her shoulder.

Her hands were released from him and travelled on his chest while Xian's hand travelled on her back. He slid it inside her top and caressed her back when she jolted up because of his touch. "Remove it," said Xian. Mishi looked at him and told him that they should stop when Xian said, "if you won't then I will."
