"I want you. Stardust, but you don't deserve to do it in this shabby place ..." he whispered later. "I will be patient until I can take you to a nice place, fit for a princess."

Emma was struck by Haoran's words. She looked around them and realized what Haoran meant.

She actually didn't care where they were at all. She just knew that she wanted him. Emma was so touched when Haoran told her he was willing to go with her anywhere and leave everything he had on earth to go to a foreign place so he could be with Emma.

However, Haoran was thoughtful, and he noticed how their hotel room was not up to his standard. So he tried hard to hold back his urge. He wanted to have their first s.e.xual intercourse in a beautiful place that was nice enough for such a special girl like Emma.

This made Emma feel even more touched.

"This is your first time, right?" Haoran asked her softly. "This is also my first time, and I want to do it right, not just in any random place because of l.u.s.t. This hotel room is too ordinary for our precious memory."

Emma nodded. She looked at him lovingly.

"Haoran ... I love you," Emma whispered. She hugged Haoran's neck and buried her head in the young man's chest. "I have never felt alone since I met you. You make me feel like I have a family. I am very grateful to have you in my life."

"Emma ... I love you too. That's why I want to wait for us to do it properly... not in this simple hotel room," Haoran said with a smile. He hugged Emma tightly and then calmed his palpitating chest.

Emma raised her face and looked at Haoran with wet eyes. She finally smiled and nodded.

Haoran lay back on the bed again and pulled Emma to sleep beside him. "We should get some rest. Tomorrow we must get up early and leave for Bern."

"Hmm .." Emma curled up and buried her head in Haoran's chest. The young man rubbed her long hair lovingly, then hugged her.

"Good night, Stardust."

That night, for the first time, they were sleeping in each other's arms. Emma fell asleep first, while Haoran was still thinking. He felt relieved and worried at the same time. He was relieved because he had confessed to Emma what was in his heart.

They had also agreed to be together and get married so that Haoran could join Emma in Akkadia when the time came.

But on the other hand, he was still worried about what Akkadia was like and how the people would accept him and Emma. The uncertainty really made him feel uncomfortable.

He tried not to move in bed, as he was busy with his thoughts, so as not to wake Emma. Haoran only managed to close his eyes when it was past midnight.

Both woke up early and immediately enjoyed breakfast in the hotel restaurant. The check-in staff was right when he said all the rooms in the hotel were fully booked by guests because they saw the restaurant that morning was very crowded with guests enjoying breakfast.

After they had breakfast and washed up, Haoran and Emma checked out and left for Bern. They arrived in Bern at noon. After taking a short drive around the city, Haoran returned the car to the rental place at the airport and immediately went to the check-in counter for flights to Shanghai.

Haoran had gotten two first-cla.s.s tickets for him and Emma. They were immediately guided by a VIP service officer to the lounge and then boarded the plane. The flight to Shanghai would take 11 hours nonstop.

Many pa.s.sengers looked impressed when they saw two teenagers walk into the plane and got their seats in first-cla.s.s. Haoran's handsome face and Emma's beauty also attracted their attention. Emma and Haoran did not care about other people. They only had eyes for each other.

"After eating, we should rest. Tomorrow the plane will land in Shanghai at 7 am. I want to surprise my mother," Haoran said to Emma after they had entered their cabin, which was divided by a removable part.i.tion. Once they were in the air, they could remove it to turn their cabins into a suite for them to share.

"You must be very happy to see your mother soon ..." Emma said with a smile.

Haoran nodded happily. "I am very happy. Soon, you will also be able to see your father and mother."

"Ahh .. I can't wait!" Emma said.

***

When they landed at Shanghai's international airport, a driver was waiting for Haoran and Emma at the exit while carrying a sign containing Haoran Maximilian Lee's name.

"My father has prepared a pickup for me. He also gave us a suite in one of his hotels and a driver to take us everywhere," Haoran explained.

"That's nice of him," Emma commented.

"Yes, he has become more reasonable lately. After all, I am his only son. He will not abandon me," Haoran said.

"Ah ... good. So, where are we going now? Do we go directly to your mother's place or to the hotel?" asked Emma.

"We go to the hotel first, put the suitcases and clean up. After that, I will go to the shopping center and buy gifts and flowers for my mother, then visit her," Haoran answered. "Do you want to accompany me?"

Emma nodded. "Of course. I want to meet your mother."

"Ah .. I'm so glad you're here with me. I want to introduce you to my mother. She will definitely like you."

Emma's face turned red. She just realized that by accepting Haoran's proposal last night, it meant that her visit to Haoran's mother's house this time was the same as visiting her mother-in-law.

Haoran pulled Emma's hand toward the fancy pickup vehicle. The driver swiftly opened the door for them. After both of them sat properly in the back seat, the car drove smoothly towards downtown Shanghai.

The General Manager was notified of the arrival of their big boss' only son and told to treat him with respect. As soon as Haoran and Emma arrived, a line of staff immediately lined up to greet him and bowed deeply.

"We have prepared the suite for you, Sir. Please come with us," said the General Manager, who had come down from his office to greet Haoran personally. He invited the two teenagers to follow him to the elevator, while a bell boy carried their luggage.

Emma just realized that this time Haoran hadn't booked two rooms for the two of them. The hotel has prepared a suite for them. When they arrived on the 30th floor, the GM immediately opened the suite door and invited them in.

Emma had never seen such a luxurious hotel suite before. She had only seen the suite at the n.o.bel hotel that Haoran had occupied while on the study trip to Paris. But the suite in Paris cannot be compared to the Presidential Suite provided for them now.

This suite measures 250 m2 with three luxurious bedrooms and a very s.p.a.cious and magnificent living room. It had a kitchen, dining room, study, library, private gym, and outdoor swimming pool.

She looked at Haoran with round eyes. The young man winked and whispered to her ear.

"This is a place fit for a princess ..."
