256 The Suprise 1 (2/2)

”Can you close your eyes?” Yao Ying asked softly, after they finished eating. It was time for him to bring her to see the surprise despite his anxiousness.

”What?! So you can drug me again?” Yao Ling asked sarcastically. She wasn't ready to show him any leniency.

”No... no... of course, not! I'm just going to bring you to somewhere...” Yao Ying explained. After that, he added, ”I'm sorry... Can you please forgive me just this once? I won't dare to use the same trick twice... However, in order to make it so special, I can only resort to this... If you find out about it beforehand, it won't become special surprise anymore...” He knew that he was in the wrong and it seemed like he breached the trust that she had!

Yao Ling listened to his explanation and said, ”You promise me, okay? There's no next time! Otherwise, I will never trust you anymore!” She felt betrayed ah~! She needed to be stern on this matter, so Yao Ying wouldn't dare to do it again! People made a mistake and she could forgive him once --- but, not the second time. She needed to set boundaries on what he was allowed to do towards her! She needed his respect!

Yao Ling knew Yao Ying wasn't perfect, but it was up to her as his woman to make him become a better man. It wasn't actually such a big mistake, if she saw the reason behind it. But still, she needed to do what she needed to do.

Yao Ying quickly nodded and promised, ”I promise! There will be no next time!”

Yao Ling nodded in satisfaction and then, she closed her eyes. After that, she felt Yao Ying cover her eyes with a blindfold and it made Yao Ling's heart beat faster. What kind of surprise waiting for her?

Yao Ying carefully led the way while holding Yao Ling's hand tighter. He brought her to a secluded corner and just like how Xiao Fang had promised him, no one would be able to bother them. There was no one along the way... it was just the two of them.

This could only happen because the secluded corner was actually Xiao Fang's secret place that she loved to go whenever she was at Crescent Lake and it was still around her father's territory. They didn't need to ask the Han Emperor's permission and they also wouldn't cross path with the honored guest --- unless the latter was specifically coming to find them.

Yao Ling felt that they had walked quite a long time and couldn't help but ask, ”Have we arrived yet?”

”Almost... and also... prepare yourself!” Yao Ying said. However, he didn't give her time to comprehend what he said.

She wanted to ask him what she should prepare for, but before she could, he had already moved and brought her along with him.

”Aaaaargh!” Yao Ling yelped in surprise. Yao Ying suddenly jumped up so high, making Yao Ling feel her stomach churn. She realized that she felt the shitty qing gong once again, however, this time she didn't feel as bad as before... probably because Yao Ying did it more carefully and smoother than before. He wanted to make it romantic, not to make her puke ah~!

They landed on something and judging from the feel of it... it seemed like they were standing on the branch of a tree? She could feel the breeze of the cold wind brushing her face. ”Yao Ying... is... is this safe?”

Yao Ying whispered softly on her ears and Yao Ling could feel the hot breath, making her shiver... ”Don't worry! I'm here...”

Somehow, after listening to his words, she became calmer. She nodded and then she heard Yao Ying asked her, ”Can you stand by yourself? I want to open the blindfold and I need to let you go for a little while. Just don't move and you'll be fine...”

Despite being scared, Yao Ling nodded her head. She was really curious ah~! What was with the secrecy? She knew that Yao Ying wasn't a romantic person... Thus, she really appreciated his effort.

Yao Ying opened the cloth that covered Yao Ling's eyes slowly and when Yao Ling saw her surrounding she gasped in surprise. The scenery looked so magical and enchanting...
