At Jiang Yang’s apartment, Nicky woke up, greeted by sunlight streaming through the wall- sized window. She glanced around and noticed the empty space beside her in the bed. Her eyes shifted to the clock. "10 am already? Did he go to work?"

She searched for any note but found none. Picking up the mobile phone from the side table, she checked for messages. "No message?"

Sitting up, she groaned in discomfort, her body feeling thoroughly exhausted, as if beaten up by someone. "That monster," she sighed, stepping out of bed and heading to the bathroom.

After freshening up, she put on Jiang Yang’s shirt since her clothes were drenched the previous night and made her way downstairs. "I am starving." As she reached the staircase, she heard noises from the kitchen. "Seems like he is still here."

Entering the kitchen, she saw him busy cooking breakfast. A light smile spread across her lips as she imagined a future like this.

Sensing her presence, he looked up. "Morning, sweetheart."

"Morning." She stood by the door, arms folded across her chest, leaning one side against the door frame for support.

"If you stand there like that, looking all delicious in my shirt, I might forget about this meal and eat you all over again," he said, continuing to cook.

"Aren’t you tired?" she asked.

He raised an eyebrow. "What do you think?"

She sighed. "Before starting again, you should make sure to stock up on condoms. What if I get pregnant? Last night you..."

"So what if you get pregnant?" he interrupted, turning entirely to her, his gaze fixed on hers. "I’d like you to get pregnant so you’d be hooked to me and wouldn’t think about leaving."

"A child as a reason to tie me to you?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course. I’ll do anything to keep you with me this time. Whatever the reason, I don’t want us to part ways. Plus, your pregnancy might lead to a quick wedding. I can’t wait to start living with you officially, where no one expects you to return, and you don’t leave me."

"Do you think I wouldn’t dare leave you with our child?"

"You might, but I’d have a reason to stay connected to you, and you wouldn’t be able to stop me. As you said, ’our child.’ You’re not heartless enough to keep our child from knowing their handsome and perfect father."

She laughed lightly. "Narcissist Yang."

"I speak the truth. If not, how would you have fallen for me?" He walked toward her, caressing her untidy hair. "Let them know their mother has high standards when it comes to their father."

Her smile widened as she tiptoed and pecked his lips. "Of course. They should know how amazing their father is."

"They?" he asked. "That means more than one."

"We’ll see," she said, glancing behind him. "I think the soup is about to spill over."

Jiang Yang turned and hurried to turn off the gas. "This is what happens when a man’s delicious woman is in front of him. Thank goodness you’re not a doctor and don’t accompany me in the surgery room to distract me, or I’d be behind bars for murdering people."

She chuckled. "You and your weird logic and accusations," she said, walking towards the kitchen counter. "I bet if your patient and I were in the same room, you’d ignore me and give all your attention to the patient."

"Well, I can’t deny that. But don’t think you’re not important, okay? We have to earn our bread and butter, and saving my patients is the way to do that. In the end, it’s for your sake as well."

"Ah, I can’t beat you in a debate," she said, grabbing the dishes from the counter. "I’m starving."

"Go sit at the dining table. I’ll bring everything soon."

"I’m carrying this," she said, showing him the dishes, bowls, and spoons.

"Thank you," he said, starting to gather the pots to carry to the dining room.

While arranging everything on the table, Nicky glanced towards the door of apartment, "Your parents won’t give you surprise this time, will they?"

He laughed lightly at her worried reaction. "They won’t. They are not in the country. They already know you are here with me, so would think twice before giving another surprise."

"They know?"

"Of course." Once done he spoke, "You can start earring."

While eating, Nicky commented, "Your cooking has become even more delicious."

"Everything about me has improved. Didn’t you notice last night?"

She smiled, swallowing a bite. "Yeah, how could I not notice after suffering under you?"

"Suffering, you say?"

"Suffering in delight," she replied. "Aren’t you going to the hospital today?"

"I’m on a short vacation right now."

"Vacation? What about your patients?"

"Other doctors are there. I’m not the only one," he replied leisurely while eating. "After working like a horse for the past ten years, they won’t mind if I take a short break and become

A bull in bed."

Cough!

She almost spat out her food at his remark. He quickly passed her water and patted her back.

She cleared her throat. "You could warn me before saying something like that."

"That wouldn’t be fun," he replied. "Eat slowly. Once we’re done, we’re leaving."

"Where?"

"Just somewhere I planned."

"That somewhere must have name or...."

"Somewhere, where I can fuck you mindlessly and get you pregnant," he replied.

Once more she felt choked on food. "You..really..."

"Want to hear more or wish to finish the food?"

She lowered her head and ate quietly, without asking another question, ready to wherever he

Was planning to take her.

"I have informed your parents and told them you won’t be back for a week," he added.

"For a week?"

"Shall I make it for a month?" he raised a brow, "I have so many work leaves pending."

"No," she exclaimed, "a week is fine."

He offered her sly grin. "I am glad how our thinking matches."

She sighed inwardly, ’It was forced match of thoughts.’
