《You Are My Sunshine》Chapter 28 Will you be my Better-half (Part1)
Advertisement
As the morning sunlight trickled down through the windows, Anu gently opened her eyes. As per her memories sleeping in the car was the last thing she did. However, she is now in Dev's arms. She quietly got out of bed without disturbing him. She was looking out the balcony after doing her morning chores. Anu was taking in the scenery. Although they were in Beijing, their hotel was away from the city centre. Dev set his alarm early as it was the first day of the conference. His hands instantly searched for Anu when he opened his eyes. He felt a little disappointed for not getting up with Anu by his side.
For a moment, Dev was stunned by the sight he beheld. Anu sat in a hammock chair, lazily swinging in the breeze. Her jet-black tresses were fluttering in the wind. She was in embroidered full-length white cotton pyjamas. She appeared to be an Angel as she sat. Her beauty had mesmerized him.
Anu sensed someone staring at her and turned around to see Dev staring back.
"Are you awake?" Dev asked to clear the awkwardness.
"I hope you slept well?" he added.
She laughed and said, "Yes, I did."
"Anu, place an order for breakfast. Let me get ready," saying that he entered the bathroom.
When Dev came out from the bathroom, Anu was busy ordering over the intercom. He was perplexed by Anu's method of adding items one by one. Unlike other girls, Anu never pretends. She is a perfect foodie. When it comes to trying different cuisine, she'll be excited. "I know nothing about her," Dev thought to himself.
Dev headed to his conference after eating breakfast. But before he left, he gave Anu some strict instructions and retained a police officer and a security guard for her safety. Dev was hesitant to leave her alone in the hotel room, but bringing her with him felt risky as well.

Anu, who was bored in her room, made a video call to Riya and spoke with her. Anu inquired Riya about her progress with Mugil. Riya replied in a depressed tone.
"Anu, I wonder if Mugil has any interest in me. He not even picking my calls from the morning. He went somewhere for some site inspection, I think."
Anu felt sorry for her.
"Hi, trust me, he may be busy as Dev is here. I would fix this once I return, okay. Don't worry." Anu consoled her. After that, they conversed for quite some time.
The conference's early talks were a little dull for Dev. The main event in which Dev has to give a presentation had scheduled for the next day. That day only the inaugural speeches and a few general issues were discussed.
He was counting down the minutes till he could carry out his plan in the evening. He recently realized that he is deeply in love with Anu. But he never told her anything. He wanted to propose to her. That evening, he rented an entire floor in the hotel. He sent Anu a gorgeous red outfit with a note in the evening.
"Anu, sweetie, we're going somewhere in the evening. Be ready. I'd like to see you in this lovely gown."
There were also matching ballerina shoes and accessories. Dev was careful in selecting things for her. As he already knew that Anu wouldn't prefer high heels, he bought ballerina shoes that matched the red dress. Earlier in the morning, he selected everything online and ordered it to deliver To Anu.
Anu was clueless. She blindly assumed it would be another sightseeing evening. But she was pleased because this was the first dress he had purchased for her. She took her sweet time getting dressed.

She was taken aback by the beauty of that dress. Her heart stopped beating when she saw the price. She thought to herself, "Cozy garments are doing its job, rich people."
In that red gown, she looked like an angel. When Dev entered the room later that evening, he was taken aback by her angelic beauty.
He stammered, "You look beautiful."
She said nervously, "Thank you."
"Wait, let me freshen up and come." Dev went into the bathroom and spoke to himself in the mirror,
"Oh my God, she will be the death of me."
He arrived in full casual attire. It was unusual to see Dev dressed casually. Anu was drooling all over him.
Dev chuckled, "It won't last long, see how much you want."
"No one is looking at anyone. She responded, "Don't brag about yourself."
"This is the Anu, I know, come on, let's go," he tugged at her as the guards kept a safe space between them. They took a private elevator to the top floor. For a while, Anu was perplexed.
She inquired, "Aren't we not going outside?"
"No, believe me, when I say you'll enjoy this place." He was confident.
From the back, Dev closed her eyes and opened the door. Anu was dazzled by the beauty that greeted her. Dev had ordered to create the cherry blossom effect itself in the hall.
The trees were designed to look like actual cherry trees and adorned with cherry blossoms. The hall looked like a road, cherry blossoms on both sides and a lighted table in the centre, all set against a foggy backdrop of coloured lights that adorned the trees. The scent of real cherry flowers filled the room. Dev is hesitant to take her outside to see the cherry blossoms. Hence, he generated the effect on the hotel floor itself.
"Wonderful. When did you complete all of this?" " She clasped her hands like a child, unable to contain her happiness.
"Do you like it?" he inquired.
She hugged him warmly and said, "What, I love it."
Dev instantly fell on his knees as she was admiring her surroundings.
"You taught me the true meaning of love, Anu. My universe sets straight when I glance at your face. You pull the best out of me. I adore you not only for who you are but also for who I become when you're with me. I'm head over heels in love with you; You make me feel brand new, and all I want in life is to spend it with you. Allow me the opportunity to be the luckiest man alive. "Anu, will you be my better half?" With a stunning diamond ring in his hand, he asked.

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.

Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously.With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker."~❗️Mature content.
