Never Forget Me

Modesty woke up the next morning, feeling refreshed and hungry she hadn't slept so well in a long time. As she started to get up to go to the bathroom, Modesty froze realizing two things. One, she wasn't in her hotel room and two there was an arm thrown across her waist pinning her down. Modesty turned her head to see Su Jin Wei staring back at her.

"Good, you're finally awake."

Modesty blinked twice.

"Why am I not at my hotel?"

Su Jin Wei propped himself up on one hand.

"My house was closer. Plus, my family and I think it's safer and more convenient for you to stay here for the duration of your visit."

Modesty sat up.

"I appreciate the offer but I have my assistant Chu Hua Huan looking for a place I can rent for the time being. Can you take me to my hotel so that I can wash up and change?"

Su Jin Wei sat up as well.

"No need, I had Assistant Zhang bring your bags over from the hotel."

Su Jin Wei waved his hand over to the corner of his room where her bags sat.

"I also had you checked out of your hotel, so you could stay here at Peony Gardens."

Modesty looked at Su Jin Wei shocked and angry.

"What?"

She jumped up out of the bed.

"How could you do this without asking me? Why would you assume I would just want to up and stay with you? Is it because you say you're friends with my parents? I can't believe the nerve of you."

Su Jin Wei stood up, his eyes had iced over, he was not pleased with the turn of events. He expected Modesty to be happy with his offer. Any woman would have jumped at the chance so, he didn't think to ask her, her opinion. He had forgotten that his fiancee wasn't just any woman.

"I apologize for not asking your opinion, we were so happy that you're here, we didn't think to ask you."

Su Jin Wei made a mental correction.

'I was so happy that you were here, that I wanted you by my side forever'.

Modesty walked over to Su Jin Wei and touched him on his arm.

"I understand but we haven't known each other that long for me to be living with you. So next time please talk to me, I can be reasonable if you discuss something with me."

Su Jin Wei nodded, he put his hand over Modesty's, he wanted to keep her touching him just a little while longer.
