6:30 am...
Yawns*... Zoe yawned as she stretched out from bed
Shen Zi was sitting on the bed and gazing at the window. She knew something was wrong with him and was willing to help him. "Hello! You did not sleep well tonight. Can I make you some coffee?" Zoe said worried about Shen
"No, I just want to send that guy to thrash." he replied grinning
"We will find a solution! And who said there was no way to end this!?" She said
What Amy said had a double meaning. The first one was to destroy him and the second meant to end this love for him and his constant appearing in her thoughts.
"I first have to lure him into my trap and he wall fall inside it blindly." She thought acquainted'
She gazed and saw how they were being cute and wished a morning wake up like this more often. "Will we follow this.... cute routine, every day!?" she thought
"It's a series of steps. Every day, there is connection creating and confidence rising. It's those little things that will lead to his fall. In the front, I will be his friend but on the back, I will stab him to death." she thought with an evil smirk
"I have confidence in you!" he said still having sadness
He's not first of all a serious case. he went on. He was very angry and undressed to take a bath. "I hope he doesn't bully you, does he?" he asked curiously yet seriously
"No, don't worry. He does not bully me." She affirmed calmly. He held her hands and gazed firmly at her.
"Anything you do, I will be by your side, I will help you."
She blushed and felt a rush of emotions. "This is the set flag for a kissing scene. Will he kiss me?" He slowly approached his lips and closed his eyes then, Zoe abruptly pushed him and changed the subject.
She winked nervously and tried to seem happy. "It's Saturday, we can go to the zoo and see some animals?" She panicked and turned her face away from Shen."I'm not yet ready! In my original life, I was so shy of men I could die from it. How will do now that I'm married?"
"It is great and can help you clear out your mind! What do you think?" she said approaching him and smiling sweetly
"Since when do you love animals?" he asked sadly from his kiss rejection
"Style can change sometimes."
...
Botanic Zoo.
Shen drove the car and they stopped at the parking lot. Shen Zi came out of the car and opened the door for his wife as a gentleman does.
"Welcome to the botanic Zoo!" the ticket man gently greeted
"Can I have your tickets, please?" They handed each a ticket at the same time. "Here they are!"
"Thank you for choosing the botanic zoo." The ticket man told as he opened the door for them
Inside the zoo, there was a wholesome palace dedicated to animals. It looked like a fantasy. Cages and all animals from the world were inside. There were also food and candy stands. It was like an amusement park.
Zoe was curious about the places and the animals. She saw a stand of cotton candy and felt so excited to eat it, She quickly picked Shen's arm.
"I want cotton candy!"
Wait for me! he said rushing to the nearby stand with cotton candy and hotdogs
he took out some money from his pocket and made the order, "Please two cotton candies and hot dogs too." He came back to Zoe with two hotdogs and two cotton candies. "I don't usually eat this! It will ruin my regime." She panicked
Shen sighed almost wishing to kick her.
"Yet, I'm the one who urged him but just for today, I will take off from the good habits." Zoe thought slowly taking the snacks from Shen's hands
"Thanks!" she said happily. Shen nodded and replied, "Let's each take one."
They walked off peacefully admiring the animals. Families and couples came to visit as well as singles. It was such a joyful time and in most cases, people enjoyed going out for a walk or an activity early as Shen and Zoe did.
They searched for the pandas as they finished eating. While walking they saw a cage with a panel indicating that they were pandas inside.
"Look the pandas are so cute. They come from the Bright Green Bamboo grove in Yixing and it's surnamed the "Sea of bamboo"."
"You're actually right." He said
Where's my phone? she asked nervously
In the zoo, a lion jumped out, followed by a zoo guard who was keeping him away from eating or harming anyone.
"A lion there!" Someone pointed
They turned to peek and saw a huge lion roaming in liberty. Zoe rushed to the man who was taking care of the lion. "Please, Sir. Can I take a selfie with the lion?" He nodded but gave a warning against the lion.
"Yes you can, but not too close, he did not eat this morning."
"Uh-oh. F*** how can they live a hungry lion in liberty?"
"Kind Lion be gentle okay? Doing just a selfie." She approached gently the giant beast under Shen's view
Good boy! Minutage to 1, 2, 3...
"Roars*..."
She screamed and runned away holding Shen's soft hand in daze. "Ah! The photo has been taken. Shen Zi, let's go." He blushed at the sight of her holding him but kept laughing in his heart.
He laughed softly showing her a picture of how she had a funny face. "Look at you! You were scared." She grinned and teased him.
"I will keep this photo preciously with me!" he said softly. Zoe defended herself and didn't stayed arm crossed, "Won't you be the same if a huge lion roared beside your ears?"
"I'm strong." he replied confidently
"If you say so." she replied looking away. He patted Zoe on the shoulder as he peeked at the cute picture on his phone
"Don't be angry, it is so funny."
Aquamarine exploration...
In the Aquamarine the aquariums were large and regrouped a great number of fishes. They all had specific names on electronic tablets which didn't confused the visitors and quench their curiousity.
"Fishes! These are the most gentle fishes in the world." Zoe said as she touched the glass wall separating the aquatic world from the terrestrial one
"Here are the most beautiful!" Shen Zi pointed. He held her waist and whispered in her ears, "The rarest ones!"
"Ha Ha!" she laughed clinging to his muscular chest
In the zoo, there were all varieties of animals from around the world. Both Shen Zi and Zoe aren't afraid of animals. A very big exception is Zoe, who is scared of hungry lions in liberty.
...
"Thank you for this wonderful day! And also for bringing the car." He nodded, "You're welcome! Don't I merit a hug!?" he gently asked, blushing away. Without hesitating she hugged him tightly. "Tomorrow, I will go to work but get back earlier."
"I had a peaceful weekend! Mwah... "she kissed her hubby
Shen couldn't help but hold her and hug her too trying to avoid kissing her. He urged for a kiss but waited patiently for the right moment. He blushed and smiled at her as they went back to the parking where the car was patiently waiting for their arrival.
After talking with Tsu Lian in his office, Lin Zoe came out of the office fluttering like she was in the skies. That morning, she was wearing a casual suit which was a brown chestnut beret, a short black skirt, and a slim grey shirt with a pair of black high heels. She also wore her golden Givenchy watch on her wrist which she always kept for keeping track of time. she smiled at herself trying to grab her phone from her white handbag. "Let me call Shen Zi right now!" For the time being, Shen Zi was at his office working with the hotel's affairs. He was a very busy person and was very keen on taking care of his figure and work. By his side was his personal manager, Lu Jin who was taking care of meetings, drafting files, and scheduling appointments for Shen. Phone ringing...* "Who is calling?" Shen Zi asked It's miss Lin Zoe, sir! Lu Jin said "Pass her on to me." Shen Zi got up and went to the balcony beside his office. On the balcony, t
Monday morning, 7:00 am... Good Morning Boss! I heard that you wanted to take Miss Lin to a new fashion parade? His secretary said turning a cup of coffee to his boss Yes! I think it can be a good idea because I need to make an advertisement once more. He replied sipping his coffee then putting it down It's not to offend, but why do you appreciate her that much? he asked curiously She looks professional! That's the type of model people want. It's a good thing for the company. Hmm... That is not wrong! She really does look professional! I will ask someone to review her CV and then he will ask her some questions. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A few minutes later when Lin Zoe arrived to work, Yes! Senior, did you called me? she called as she quickly rushed to the room You can call me Laura from now on. I will review your CV. she said calmly Lin Zoe stood politely and gazed at her manager. Apparently, we
"Fill all of these documents, Zoe!" Senior Laura handed her a set of papers and a pen "They are a little bit much!" she thought scratching her head As she saw the numerous amount of papers she just thought they were to be signed quicker. "Leave it to me!" she said preparing her pen "I sign this ... this ... this and this." Zoe used her pen to wobble on the papers and handed them to her senior as they were ready. "What's next to do?" she asked gently She had to know precisely how to schedule out her planning and it was proper for her to ask. "Well then! You will get to the summer parade and you will receive interviews with local celebrities. After that, you will go to the platform." "I see! This is all well noted." Zoe said Laura just nodded Before the spring parade, Amy was not that close to her manager and she will be very hard on her. The more she rises, the more she feels she will
"Did master ask you to take him?" she asked curiously "Yes, Madam! I'm sorry." She sighed and relaxed in the back seat. The summer parade was going to be in 2 hours and Zoe was nervous. "Don't worry Miss! We are already here and master will come quickly" the driver said trying to comfort her The driver could feel that she was nervous through this silence she was spreading. She just sat, sighed, or relaxed. The driver took his phone and called Shen Zi quickly. "Master! I'm waiting in the car." "Oh! I'm coming right away," he responded "Okay!" the driver winked Shen Zi was coming down from his office and Zoe was waiting patiently for him to come through the car glass. "Why is he taking so much time?"... Shen Zi appeared at the gate of the hotel with his secretary Lu Jin at his side. They were elegantly dressed and could look bright and happy. As Shen Zi saw Lin Z
Lin Zoe was at the entrance of the hospital with the driver. They were going out at the agency to drop Zoe for the parade. At the parking lot, the driver opened the door for her to enter then started the engine. She spontaneously held her phone and ranged Shen Zi's number in a quiver feeling. "Hello, did you find who was behind my attempted assassination?" As Shen heard this, he knew she was fine or she will be concerned by any critical injury or broken bone. Relieved, he opened himself to answer her question. "We found his identity! He is a young man who lives in Qinjing, apparently a dirty street." As he was speaking, Zoe was thrilled and knew perfectly the place where that bandit lived. "You said... Qinjing? It is very dangerous! My mother got attacked one day as she passed by." She felt worried and said, "Pay attention! They're only tyrants in that street." He responded and said," Do not worry I will take care of myself."
It was still rainy when Lin Zoe protected herself with her bag and calling a cab. All her dress was wet and she could not pass a phone call for the driver not to say she was still on the rain pattering. As the weather was becoming worse, she was cold and coughed. "Cough*, Why do I have to go to her house? I'm gonna get sick." Laura who has finished with her projects and discussion, came out ready to leave with her umbrella. As she walked peacefully, she noticed a young woman with the curly hair of Lin Zoe and had the same exact dressing. She thought it could not be her and was worried that such a woman will be calling a cab in such weather. She stood up and continued looking and became more worried then came closer to the girl and noticed it was Zoe. "Zoe!" The young woman looked at the person next to her and her eyes widened. "Laura?" She dropped her phone to the ground a
After the heavy rain, the sun shined and the sky felt warm. The afternoon was passing and the evening was coming. The platform interview was soon to be performed and without Zoe, it will turn into a scandal. It was just then, Zoe successfully arrived on time and was sent to the hospital. Doctors quickly brought her for rest inside and her treatment has quickly proceeded. Shen and Laura had to wait in the lounge patiently. Shen thought about her health while Laura was thinking about her situation for the platform. "What happened back then when I was away?" Shen asked suspiciously Laura was sad and felt guilty to have let her go out in such a rain. It was too heavy and was not aware enough to hold her. "Mr. Shen, when I found on the rain she was trying to find a cab. It looked urgent. I helped shelf and she had a fever." Shen Zi did not felt at ease. Many questions flowed in his head as he was trying to find an answer to them.
Zhang You walked straightforward to Zoe and whispered venomously in her ears. "Don't even think to get out alive from here today!" Lin Zoe trembled and stayed quiet not to alert this psycho. Zhang You grasped hardly her hand and caressed her neck. "I've sent men to kill you just as you get out." She showed a watch attached to her wrist to Lin Zoe. "As soon as I get the signal from here, they will shoot you dead." She laughed and went out quickly then suddenly stopped, "Lin Zoe don't even think of getting help. As soon as you do, you will be killed." Lin Zoe trembled and stopped her while still sitting on the sofa. "Zhang You before you kill me, can I know your reason?" She laughed and mocked to the loudest point at Lin Zoe. "You really don't know why? Guess for yourself!" Lin Zoe was left alone not knowing what to do. "I can't call Shen Zi! I will have to play tricks." ... Shen
