Inside of a Boeing Luxury private jet:
The lavishly decorated room had a huge 60-inch wall-mounted television set in front of a soft comfortable cream-colored leather couch.
It almost looked like an extravagant home living room rather than an aircraft space.
On one end of the couch, Su Lin had sprawled across lazily.
Not minding the random movie which was being played, (which in fact was a very romantic movie, specifically selected by Luther) she had fallen asleep into a deep slumber, with even intermittent snoring.
For the entirety of the previous week, she has been having endless terrifying nightmares in a loop.
The truth that was hidden in those nightmares actually made them much worse. Su Lin had barely slept for a wink.
After all, mental issues did not let off anyone, even almighty cultivators. They are never meant to be taken lightly.
And today, finally, all that tiredness caught up to her and she was totally passed out on the couch, as soon as the flight took off.
Right next to her was the cuddly fluffy thing, also napping, though it did not have any sleep issues or insomnia.
It laid comfortably on Su Lin's lap, with both its paws nuzzled under her soft hands.
And just like that... All of Luther's plans had crumbled.
Since he slept beside her every night, he of course knew that she had been having sleep issues. So he didn't have the heart to wake his wifey up.
He restlessly fidgeted with the television remote and stared at the peacefully dozing duo.
"My fate!" He facepalmed and continued flipping some magazines to relieve his boredom.
After all, it was a long flight from Hangzhou city to Grindavik, Iceland.
.....
Soon the flight landed in a local hanger.
The small fishing town located on the Southern Peninsula of Iceland is freezing cold for most parts of the year.
It is a mist-covered magical place that lightens even the darkest of corners.
The crystal clear waters dancing around the bursts of enchanting vapors had the power to melt one's heart and warm one's soul.
Su Lin revealed a warm gentle smile as she gazed at the devilishly handsome man who was sleeping without a care in the world.
Halfway through the journey, Su Lin had already woken up feeling refreshed after that long rest. But little white and Luther were still rolling around on the huge couch fast asleep.
After staring at the two for a while, she chuckled and looked outside. Su Lin was fascinated by these modern aircraft.
Such a sophisticated engineering machine without using anything excessive like spiritual energy.
She silently extended her spiritual sense and scanned the surrounding contraption, understanding every single nut, bolt, and connecting wire.
After a few nudges and a gentle kick, Luther finally woke up rubbing his eyes. He immediately saw little white's face staring at him and shrieked in surprise.
"Damn it. Why can't it be my wifey's face, that I am waking up to? This bastard is going to bring me bad luck!"
He managed to get rid of everybody else, but this damn tiger still managed to come with them.
He cursed the clingy third wheel little white, as the trio slowly got out of the private jet.
Since the auction was scheduled for tomorrow, they pretty much didn't have anything to do today evening and decided to take a stroll outside.
After checking in with the nearest hotel, Luther briskly got ready and was determined to at least see through this half of his date plan.
A nice romantic stroll outside, followed by a romantic dinner and back to the room for dessert. A perfect plan!
But of course, his enemy was still at large.
Inside the hotel room, little white was throwing a tantrum by jumping up and down, since it had to be confined in a pet transporter for a while.
Not everyone roamed around the world with tiger cubs and lion cubs. And to top it, little white's pure snow-white body was a bit too attention grabbing.
Luther wanted to grab the damn thing and toss it outside the window, but Su Lin patiently patted it for a while and the little trouble maker finally calmed down.
"I promise. I will bring you something tasty to eat." Su Lin let the small thing play in the hotel room and got ready to take a stroll outside with Luther before he starts throwing a tantrum.
Married life was indeed hard! She has to work hard to keep both the man and the little thing happy!
Su Lin quickly put on a Chanel translucent red shirt with floral patterns and high waisted grey skirt with a checkered pattern.
It perfectly complemented her skin tone and she looked divine even without any makeup on.
As she stepped out of the bathroom, Luther looked at her with a stupefied expression. His wifey looked too good in anything she wears!
He smugly smirked at the comfortably curled up little white, as if it was his romantic rival and gently took her hand in his.
Su Lin chuckled at his antics and they finally left the hotel room.
Back in Hangzhou city, the two of them, though always present with each other were never really alone together.
So at first, it felt a bit awkward with just the two of them.
Su Lin particularly felt a bit restless. Even after so many years, she was never confident when it came to men, especially in light of her recent nightmares.
She had trusted men in the past, even as far as willingly offering her whole heart, but only to regret in the end.
And the prices she had paid for those mistakes were also unreasonably heavy.
Maybe it was her mental age, or maybe because she knows that this guy right beside her wouldn't hesitate to dive in front of a bullet for her, the closely shut walls, were slowly crumbling, bit by bit.
The husband and wife pair silently walked out of the hotel onto the floating pier.
The devilishly handsome man and the ethereal looking woman turned quite a few heads in their direction.
But since it was the day before the auction, quite a few hot shots had arrived and the residents silently gaped as the pair walked by, without finding anything out of place.
The long winding pier had a small table and a couple of chairs set up at the end, arranged so that the entire set up was facing the boundless icy blue crystalline water. The enchanting view was further mystified by the distant fog.
The entire setting looked completely magical and had an unadulterated romantic feeling to it.
Su Lin's cherry red lips curved upward ever so slightly as she witnessed the careful preparation by the man standing next to her.
A large sized trolley containing a variety of dishes pre-prepared was neatly placed on the side and the quaint wooden table was lined with a soft red silk cloth.
Since it was windy and chilly, Luther had even prepared an electric candle and carefully arranged everything to give the most ambient setting.
Su Lin was completely baffled at the entire scene. She had never experienced anything like this and was deeply touched at the man's meticulous efforts.
"Is everything to your liking my dear?" Luther curiously asked, fidgeting with his fingers in the back.
Su Lin nodded, still absent-mindedly looking at the view.
Luther satisfactorily smiled, and then pulled out a chair for her. He even waited for her to sit down and then sat opposite her.
The entire time his heart was racing crazily. He too had never experienced anything like this before.
He couldn't control his happiness. He finally gets to have this woman right next to him all his life.
The painted sky outlined her delicate figure and as the clothes fluttered in the gentle cold wind, she looked utterly divine.
Su Lin looked at the man in front of her and the perfect piercing pair of eyes staring back at her. The undivided attention startled her and a faint blush quietly crept in her cheeks, slowly turning them beet red.
A serene melodic silence enveloped the pair, as Luther calmly served her some dishes.
As seconds trickled by, Su Lin couldn't help but wish that he would speak something.
The deafening silence was even more intrusive than the numerous intricate conversations they could possibly be having.
It cut through the layers of facade and brought out the bare naked heart.
Luther on the other hand somehow seemed to be perfectly fine with it and kept lovingly gazing at her, enjoying the moment and the enticing view of the woman in front of him.
After a few minutes, Su Lin couldn't stand it any longer. As she played with the food on her plate, she quietly murmured.
"You... what do you like to do?"
