"Where are we going?" She asked for the umpteenth time.
"You’ll know soon enough." He repeated like a parrot again.
As per the promise, Xu Mey gave her weekend to Ye Jie. After the light breakfast, both wore casual clothes and left the house. They had been on the road for more than an hour already and during this time, Xu Mey asked repeatedly about their destination but Ye Jie’s lips were sealed.
"Can’t you give me a hint?" Ye Jie saw her pouting adorably through his peripheral vision. And for a moment, he thought about disclosing the surprise. It was a good thing that he managed to shake this thought out of his mind.
"Don’t act cute with me. Your face is your deadliest weapon but I’m not falling for it. Not at any cost." Ye Jie was stern with his speech.
Xu Mey humphed and leaned back on her seat while crossing her arms in front of her chest. But her anger couldn’t last long. "At least tell me how far away it is?"
Ye Jie held the steering wheel with one hand expertly maneuvering it while his other hand stroked her long hair lovingly saying, "Be good, my cherry wife. Don’t make me spoil the surprise."
"Fine!" Xu Mey grumbled making him chuckle softly.
After driving further ahead, Ye Jie stopped the car at the roadside. Xu Mey looked at him with questioning eyes. He pulled out a black cloth from the hidden compartment and stretched his hand towards her. "Wear this blindfold."
Xu Mey was gaping at this point. "What? Now you even want me to wear a blindfold?"
"Yes... I do want you to wear a blindfold." He replied ignoring her protesting voice.
"I don’t want to..." Xu Mey turned her head away to look outside the window completely ignoring him.
"Come on... We’re getting late... Wear this for once... Just for me." Xu Mey contemplated his words for a minute chewing the inside of her lips and nodded at the end.
Ye Jie smiled brightly, passing her the blindfold which she tied around her eyes. "You can’t see, right? No peeking, okay?" Ye Jie waved his hand in front of her to check.
"If you don’t even have that much trust, I’m taking this off..." Xu Mey raised her hand to remove the blindfold but Ye Jie held her hand in his own.
"I trust my wife the most... But my cherry wife doesn’t seem to trust me." Both of them didn’t speak any further as Ye Jie’s Rolls-Royce drove steadily on the road.
About 15 minutes later, Xu Mey heard some noises around making her curiosity reach a pinnacle. She had the urge to take off the blindfold but thinking about Ye Jie, she controlled herself. She could hear chattering, music, kids laughing and some other noises. But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t think of anything at all.
Ye Jie parked the car when he heard her voice, "Can I take it off now?"
"Just a minute, " Ye Jie got off the car and ran towards her door. He opened the door for her, unbuckled her seatbelt and held her hand to help her out of the car.
He helped her out and stood behind her to untie the blindfold. Suddenly catching the sunlight made Xu Mey squint her eyes. It took a bit of effort to look around herself. As her eyes got adjusted to the light, she looked at where she was standing.
She turned her whole body to look at Ye Jie with her eyes widened. "You brought me to an amusement park?" She was in disbelief. Ye Jie nodded with a smile.
"You brought me to an amusement park." This time she wasn’t asking, rather it was a realization.
Ye Jie looked at her as a beaming smile bloomed on her face. "You brought me to an amusement park." She looked overly excited to point that she jumped towards Ye Jie taking him by surprise.
Her slender arms looped around his neck, she looked happy like a kid who just received his favorite candy. It was a good thing that Ye Jie was standing closer to his car otherwise, the way Xu Mey jumped on him, he would most probably have lost his footing and both of them would have ended up on the stone pathway.
"I didn’t know that our Honey Mey loved PDA as well." Xu Mey’s body left Ye Jie on reflex as she heard a familiar voice of Wu Wang.
Sure enough, Wu Wang was standing behind her with Li Qiao, Yu Kim, Lin Shen, Sun Ju, and He Jian.
"Don’t you think, one PDA couple is enough for all of us? Didn’t they feed us single people with enough dog food already?" Wu Wang asked as his eyes were looking at Xu Mey but his words were directed at Lin Shen and Sun Ju.
"Shen-Shen, Wu Wang is again being a jerk." Sun Ju tugged at Lin Shen’s arm as she complained about Wu Wang.
Lin Shen caressed Sun Ju’s hair with a doting expression as he said, " Ju-Ju, Wang doesn’t have to act like a jerk... He is a jerk." Wu Wang rolled his eyes at them.
Ye Jie stood watching their banter which made him smile like a lunatic. "Did you get them here?" Xu Mey asked him as they decided to enter the park together.
"Yeah... I thought you’ll love seeing them more than the park itself." Ye Jie replied giving her an affectionate look.
"Thank you." Xu Mey tip-toed to leave a feathery kiss on his cheek.
