Five minutes later Feng Jianyu boarded the same chopper, completely oblivious of her presence, as she was sitting at co-pilot's seat to hide from Jianyu's eyes.
The moment the door was closed, don't know what got into Xiu mei that she started laughing. Biting the back of her hand she suppressed the sound but her shaking shoulder said otherwise.
The thought that they are sharing the same ride, but he is unaware of her presence, was making her feel giddy.
But how could the pilot focus in this scary situation?
Already he was nervous that instead of sitting with the big boss, this woman was sitting beside him. And now all of a sudden she cannot stop laughing. Does she want the chopper to crash? This ride is going to be the biggest challenge of his life….

After 30 minutes-
Pilot heaved the sigh of relief after safe landing. He was completely drenched in sweat by the pressure of this stressful journey. 'I'll request Second Boss not to choose me for something like this. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee the safety of the ride.' Crying inwardly he sneaked the glance at the lady who was completely hidden in black cape from head to toe.
As soon as the chopper was landed, a man dressed in black stepped forward and opened the door for them. But surprisingly Feng Jianyu didn't step out and rather instructed the pilot to turn off the rotor blade first.
"Are you going to disembark with me or keep sitting beside PILOT?" Feng Jianyu leaned back lazily with legs crossed and arms folded. His eagle eyes staring the person sitting at co-pilot's seat.
Hearing the big boss' low gruff voice, the pilot was almost on the verge of crying. He obviously noticed how his boss emphasized on the word 'PILOT'. He glanced with pity at the lady sitting beside him and coincidently their gaze collided.
Xiu Mei's lips pressed into a thin line. 'Damn! Jianyu was aware that I was sitting in front. And now this possessive monster is pissed off that instead of sitting with him I sat with the pilot. Argh…. Poor pilot!! Before he lost his job I should do something'
Turning her neck as much as she could, giving her most charming smile, Xiu Mei blinked at him innocently with puppy eyes. That was enough for her to take down the monster....
Feng Jianyu felt his heart melt at her smile, which was so charming and beautiful, with two dimples on each cheek. 'She's learning wrong tricks. This is wrong.' He sighed inwardly.
"Look in front. You'll strain your neck" He was about to get off the chopper when he heard the sound of unlocking of the seat belt. "Don't you dare to get off on your own. At least not when you are wearing this giant magician's cape, you'll trip."
"Okay, then hurry up"
A minute later he helped her to get down from the chopper. Feng Jianyu noticed how long her cape is, it's even trailing from behind. He wrapped an arm around her waist to hold her closer to him.
"Love, what's with sitting beside the pilot?"
"Are you jealous?"
He snorts and pulled her cheek, "Not jealous, but uncomfortable. Your position is always beside me. Understand?" Xiu Mei nodded in response and he further asked, "Now what's with this cape? What are you hiding beneath it?" Like a naughty boy, he tried to sneak peek by pulling the ribbon tied at her waist. She yanked his hand away and scowled, tieing the ribbon back. "Let's go to the lakeside. My favorite place"
He was puzzled by this mystery but knowing that she had planned a surprise, a smile appeared on his handsome face. He was really excited at her initiative.
"Ahh!! Jianyu, what are you doing?" Xiu Mei shrieked when he suddenly lifted her up in his arms. Reflexively her arms snaked around his neck.
"In this giant magician's cape, I'm not allowing you to walk. Your cape is too dangerous for yourself and my poor heart."
"But...."
"No but, no if... unless you tell me what's the surprise." Holding a mischievous smile he wiggled his brows, "C'mon chipmunk, just a hint.... Please" He tried to copy her trick using same puppy eyes.
"Do you think your puppy face looks cute just like mine? Let me enlighten you.... NO"
Feng Jianyu "...."
"Then I'm not putting you down. In fact, I'm going to..." Without saying anything further he bents down closer to her lips and kissed them. She tried to pull away but he scared her by loosening the grip. Reflexively her hold around his neck tightened to save herself from the fall.
After a satisfactory kiss, he let go of her swollen and moist lips. "Hm! I like this lipstick flavor. Use it more often" Licking his lips seductively he winked and she equally retorted but failed to hide her flushed cheeks, "Oh ya... so you can lick it every time i apply it!"
He shamelessly nodded his head like a pecking chicken.
"You.... Getting shameless day by day"
She understood this was her punishment for sitting beside the pilot and not him.
"Shameless only for my chipmunk..."

For her special surprise, she has selected Feng Jianyu's castle. When last time she came here, he had to take help from Dr. Wang and Junjie to bring her here. And this time, she had to take help from Junjie to get him here.
Life came full circle for them….
She had never thought in her wildest dreams that next time when she will come here, her relationship and feelings for this man will be changed. All the misunderstandings in between them will clear, giving them an opportunity to start a new journey together.
Thinking of new journey, that very same night Feng Jianyu shamelessly confessed to her about his courting mission. That night she learned about his feeling for her. And tonight she is back to the castle, to confess her own feelings to him, to take an initiative in this relationship and to make him feel special.
Xiu Mei kept quite the whole way but her eyes can't stop admiring the man who is holding her like a treasure. She could literally feel the strength of his arms by his grip, but her heart ached thinking about the long distance he was forced to cover because of her cape and dress. "Next time I won't wear a dress but pajama." Feeling guilty, she voiced her thoughts out loud.
He chuckles, "Next time I would rather prefer you to try something else other than pajama"
"What something else?" She asked curiously.
Jianyu let out a small laugh and didn't answer her. His perverted thought wants to say it loud that he would love to hold her naked body in his arms, but if he dares to voice it out loud, she will probably run away from here.

On reaching the lakeside, he carefully placed her down. Looking at the place in front he found nothing special. The excitement and anticipation he was feeling inside his heart for her surprise was fading away.
But the very next second an unexpected thing happened with him.
