After the long silence between them, him holding her as she cries, they continued on their way to Shen Yi's place . According to him, it will take them an hour or two depending on the traffic on the main roads of the city . Lu Xinyi grumbled and decided to take a quick nap, giving Shen Yi some quiet time alone as he drives .

But his free time was cut short when Lu Xinyi woke up after an hour and started looking on her bag for snacks . It was almost seven in the evening but they were stuck in a traffic jam .

"Shen Yi, I'm hungry . " Lu Xinyi said . They've been on the road for almost two hours and still haven't arrived on their destination, his house .

" . . . " but he ignored her .

"Shen Yi," she called again, pouting on her seat as she pleaded on him .

"Didn't you say you packed some snacks before we left the cruise s.h.i.+p?"

"There's nothing left anymore," she said and sulked on the pa.s.senger seat . "Are we there yet? Can we get a dinner along the way?"

"We're almost there . Wait a little longer . "

"Okay . " Lu Xinyi said but her own stomach disagreed with her with a loud growl . Shen Yi chuckled beside her . She was really that hungry .

"Say, should we announce our marriage to your family soon?" she asked . There were still things and issues they haven't decided yet .

"No, not too soon . I can deal with my family . We can announce them maybe in a month or two . My father will surely suspect us if we tell them now . " he replied . He knew he couldn't keep their marriage in secret for too long but he would rather take some precautions or else Lu Xinyi might get hurt .

"My cousin is going back from Country D soon . I asked her if I could stay in her place . "

"I thought we've already talked about it? That you're going to stay with me . "

"But Xiulan and I have talked about it even before you asked me to marry you . "

"Absolutely out of the question . You're staying with me and that's final . " he retorted .

"I thought you said you wouldn't force me to do anything . " Lu Xinyi reminded him .

"There are some exceptions, Xinyi . You should know about it by now," he muttered darkly .

"Okay, okay . I get it . I'll talk to her . At least let me talk to her once she arrives . "

Lu Xinyi conceded . She should really not test his patience . They were newly married couple but unlike the rest, there were still things they didn't know about each other . She dropped the topic so she wouldn't infuriate him .

'I guess we will have to catch and learn . '

"Do you believe in love at first sight?" she asked, staring out the window .

"Why do you ask?"

Lu Xinyi stretched her arms and yawned . This long drive was making her tired already .

"Nothing just curious . "

They both fell silent which wasn't surprising but when Shen Yi broke it . . .

"Should I walk past again so we could test it out?"

"W-what?!" Lu Xinyi sputtered out . Shen Yi's grin curved .

"You're impossible . "

Shen Yi and his pick up lines were too much for her to handle . There was this one time they were having dinner at the cruise s.h.i.+p when he asked her if she likes sales out of the blue . And when she asked why he was asking such a question, his answer sent her into a coughing fit .

"Because if you're looking for a good one, clothing is 100% off at my place," he said .

Lu Xinyi wanted to beat the s.h.i.+t out of him by saying it out in a public place . Why the h.e.l.l he was single if he could flirt to her like this?

The car turned into a neighborhood . Lu Xinyi was still absorbed in her thoughts for a moment before she actually pays attention to where they were . Her brows furrowed . The houses in this neighborhood were big and luxurious . Was this kind of an exclusive subdivision? She'd never been to one before .

Shen Yi slowed the car down, seeing his house near them .

"We're here,"

Lu Xinyi's eyes were wide as she took in the place . His actual house was a two story with a white and grey motif . There were some trees on the front yard to give some shade on the pathway toward the driveway .

"This is your house?"

"Ours" Shen Yi corrected her . "Welcome home, my dear wife . "
