CHAPTER 380 – Surprise: The Place Where It All Began
"Great then. Okay, here it is, I was going to wait for your birthday but I think it wouldn't hurt to give you the gift now."
"Huh?"
"Do not worry. I just need you to go get freshen up and then I would after you. We are going out."
"To where?"
"A surprise love. Just do as I have said." He kissed her again, then rolled off of her, freeing her to carry on what he asked of her.
By the time they were done, he used a handkerchief to cover her eyes and lead her to the car.
"Wow, it must be such a great surprise for you to blindfold me like this." Even though she wasn't seeing, she was still happy no doubt, and aching to see where it would lead.
"Ready love?"
"Hmm, ready."
"Great." He helped her fasten her seat belt and then they were ready to go.
He had waited months to give her this surprise and now it was time. He took a deep breath, smiled, and kissed her on the forehead.
"Hehhee, someone is getting affectionate," Li Jing commented.
"You cannot blame me, love. I just want to remain in bed with you all day."
"Unfortunately you can't. Anyways that can be arranged, don't you think?"
"Huh?" He wasn't understanding what she meant by that although yes it could be arranged. They could take a week off considering they were their own boss but then…
"You still owe me our honeymoon." she quickly said, interrupting his thoughts.
"Oh, yes, I do. And I would make sure I deliver. I would take you on a tour to different places and countries. It would be a month off. What do you think?"
"Wow, a month. Hmm, now I actually feel like looking you in the eyes when I kiss you."
"As much as I am tempted to receive that, no removing of blindfold till we get to our destination and I say so. Do not worry you would have more than enough time to kiss me silly when we get there."
With that settled, Li Jing leaned back against the chair and rested well.
About thirty minutes later they arrived at their destination and he came down from the car first before helping her out and leading her towards the main goal.
All though she had wondered what it was that they were climbing but did not understand it yet and just anticipated it all along the way.
The moment they stopped she inhaled deeply and her nose flared as well as her eyes brows as they too creased.
She could tell from the air around the place that it was somewhere she had been too but where exactly, Li Jing could not easily recall.
"Are you ready love?"
"Whenever you are honey."
She steadied herself and waited for him to take off the blindfold. Li Jing did not wait for long and soon she found his fingers fiddling with the knot at the back of her head and he blindfold became loosed but it did not fall down still.
"I want you to know this again. I love you and I would love to bring you to the place where it all began." As soon as he finished his sentence, he stepped back and let go of the blindfold.
Li Jing inhaled deeply again, with the words he told her still lingering in her mind. 'The place where it all began.'
She pried her eyes open slowly but she let her head still hang low and the first sight she saw was the beautiful carpet grass on the ground, alongside a pathway of pure interlocking tiles in the middle leading further up to the main surprise of the day.
Li Jing slowly lifted her eyes. She had a good idea what the surprise what but did not understand it fully until her eyes came to a halt on the main surprise and oh what a surprise it was.
Standing before her was the remake of the building where it all began as he had said it.
A duplex stood in place of where the old building had once strayed. It was the house on the hill owned by Grandma Tang Jiaye.
With lips and mouth wide open, Li Jing lost her voice and remained speechless as she took in all that she saw while her brain compared them, bringing back the old image and merging with the new ones.
He did a marvelous change but did well to keep the house intact and the main structure. All he added was to make it a duplex while having lovely gardens at the side and a comfortable porch to sit at.
Everything looked new and different in a magnificent way possible.
After what looked like ages, Li Jing finally turned around with her hands over her lips and eyes blinking with so much joy and excitement as well as unbelief.
"Thank you. Thank you so much." She laughed and shook her head. He was just something else, this husband of hers. The next thing Ye Cheng knew, she moved and leaped on top of him.
Even though he wasn't so prepared, he managed somehow to catch her and not fall on the ground with her, hugging her close to his body and rubbing his hand down her head soothingly.
"Thank you so much, Ye Cheng."
"Anything for you babe. I hope you love your newly rebranded and personal home?"
"Sure, definitely, I love it so much. I love you most, honey. I love you."
"I love you too babe."
Li Jing finally let go of the hug but that was not because she wanted to leave him, now she really wanted to kiss him and kiss him with all she had.
The wife of his, who said she wasn't a PDA person, could not wait to shower her hubby with kisses.
She pressed her lips on his and closed her eyes while rounding his neck with her hands and deepening the kiss.
