nThe drive didn’t take long and they were now slowing down a driveaway. Yan Mei who was sitting at the back of Leng Shao’s car with Lei Zhao had her eyes closed as she leaned back, resting her head on Lei Zhao’s chest.

nLei Zhao’s shook her a little when Leng Shao stopped the car. “Wifey…wake up we are here.”

nYan Mei groaned as she half opened her eyes.

n”We have reached the place?” She asked as she groggily scratched her eyes with the back of her hands.

n”Hmm.” Lei Zhao replied as he looked down at her.

n”Oh alright.”

nYan Mei looked out the window and saw that they had parked at the parking lot of the park. She had always wanted to visit this park but she was afraid it would spark some bad memories. She turned to look at Lei Zhao and smiled at him. She squeezed the hand they had entwined earlier.

nLei Zhao realized she was probably nervous of going to the park so he leaned closer and planted a kiss on her forehead.

n”Are you alright?” Lei Zhao asked softly.

nYan Mei nodded, “Yeah. “

nLeng Shao watched their interactions in the mirror and looked away as a crushed look flashed through his eyes.

nSo he never got a chance with her. Does she even know how he feels about her? Several thoughts crossed his head, his heart was breathing at irregular intervals. He took a deep breath and just listened to the birds chirping and shouts of the children from the park. But nothing was louder than the sound of his heat beating ferociously slow.

nAt this moment, he came to the realization that he had lost her again, maybe if he was the one who had found her five years ago would she be with him? All memories came instantly gushing in to his head, all their good moments together.

nFor the first time, Leng Shao felt frightened and alone. He was growing by the seconds and it seems life didn’t give a damn about what happened to him.

nMost of his friends were married, some even had kids but his last relationship was eight years ago. Will he ever find love again-

n”Leng Shao!” Yan Mei voice snapped him out of his thoughts. He turned around but his eyes met Lei Zhao’s questioning ones before snapping to Yan Mei’s worried ones.

n”Are you okay?” Yan Mei asked, her face contorted with worry.

n”Yeah, let’s go.” Yan Mei narrowed her eyes but said nothing.

nOnce they got down, Yan Mei saw that the park was fenced all around with beautiful iron bars and gates for entrance and exit. They strode inside the park with Leng Shao leading them with Lei Zhao and Yan Mei behind.

nYan Mei saw that beautiful plants and creepers adorned the surroundings. The floor was covered with lush green grass with beautiful flowers all around.

nThe ambience was beautiful. There were benches for comfortable sitting and swings at every corner. A smile tugged at the corners of her lips when she saw the small fish pond which had many colourful fishes in it. The surface of the water ruptured, spewing a colourful fish into the air.

nSuddenly, Yan Mei had the urge to paint this beautiful scenery.

n”Do you like it?” Lei Zhao asked when he saw Yan Mei’s eyes sparkling as she looked around.

n”Yeah, it’s very beautiful.” Yan Mei replied.

n”We can come here if you like-“

nLei Zhao was cut off by the sound of a dog barking. Yan Mei turned around and widened her eyes.

n”Is that Pupy?!” She asked Leng Shao as she stared at the dog running towards her.

n”Yeah.” Leng Shao chuckled when he saw the shock on her face.

nThey had saved the dog one night. Yan Mei still remember the skinny puppy but the dog running excitedly towards her was all grown up.

nShe squatted and opened her arms. The dog lurched at her and licked her face excitedly.

nLei Zhao scrunched his face as he glared at the dog. Yan Mei petted the dog who lifted his eyes to her face. He stopped barking as he stared at Yan Mei. The dog was a lurcher, black and white in patches with beautiful lurcher eyes. His coat was curly.

n”Pupy, do you miss me?” Yan Mei asked as she smiled.

n”Wooh, wooh..” The dog barked excitedly as he ran back and forth; panting between barks.

nLei Zhao looked at his wife glowing and swallowed his complaints. He could only glare at the dog in distaste.

n”Is this the surprise?” Yan Mei chuckled as she ran her hands through the dog’s fur.

nLeng Shao shook his head, “No, there is one more. Let’s go”

nYan Mei stood up and nodded.

n”Okay, let’s go.”

nPupy swished his tail and barked at Leng Shao.

n”Are you finally happy?” Leng Shao asked Pupy making the dog bark at him excitedly.

n——

nThree people with a dog trailing behind them strode leisurely around the park until they come at a seclusion place. It seems this place was reserved for someone. Yan Mei saw a woman standing with her back facing her.

nShe turned to look at Leng Shao who just flashed her a smile.

n”Go ahead.” Lei Zhao brows knitted together.

n”Do you want me to go with you?” Lei Zhao asked Yan Mei.

nYan Mei shook her head. She knew who the woman was but she wanted to confirm by herself.

n”Wait for me, she just a few steps away.”

nLei Zhao nodded, “Okay, I will be waiting for you here.”

nYan Mei took a deep breath and walked towards the woman.

nJust as she was a few steps from the woman; the woman turned making her stop in her tracks.

nYan Mei widened her eyes as she stared at the woman smiling softly at her.

nShe opened her mouth and closed it again.

n”A cat got your mouth?” The woman asked Yan Mei with sarcasm thick in her voice.
