Soon it was a morning in few hours. Sun rays started to brighten the bedroom where Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan were sleeping. Lu Qiang woke up, he opened his eyes and looked at the woman who was sleeping soundly while using his arm as a pillow and circling her hand around his chest.
Jiang Yuyan looked like an innocent child who was aloof to all the worries in the world.
Lu Qiang smiled and kissed on her head. He turned a little to remove his hand from below her head. He was being careful to not wake her up.
Lu Qiang lifted her head with his other hand and pulled back his hand from below her head. He pulled the pillow which he used for himself and placed her head gently on it.
Lu Qiang got up from the bed and was about to move, he stopped as he heard a sweet voice.
"Good Morning, Lu Qiang!" Jiang Yuyan woke up.
Lu Qiang turned back and looked at Jiang Yuyan. She was looking at Lu Qiang with pleasant smile on her face. It looked like she had a good sleep.
Lu Qiang smiled and moved back to her. Then, he sat back on the edge of the bed, leaned towards her to give her a peck on the lips and said, "Good Morning, Yuyan!"
Jiang Yuyan blushed as he kissed her on the lips. She was still lying down in a bed.
"Did you sleep well?" Lu Qiang asked.
Jiang Yuyan nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Do you want to sleep more?" Lu Qiang asked again.
Jiang Yuyan shook her head and said, "Nope!"
Lu Qiang smiled mischievously and said, "Ok then. It’s time to see something exciting." He then moved to Jiang Yuyan’s side of the wardrobe.
Jiang Yuyan got up and sat in the bed. She was looking at him while rubbing her both eyes with her palm. She had confused expressions on her face and was observing what he was up to.
Lu Qiang pulled out a wrap gown which was matching to her night dress. He walked towards her with the wrap gown in his hands and stood up beside the bed.
Lu Qiang didn’t say anything, just lifted her from the bed then put her down to make her to stand on her feet.
Jiang Yuyan didn’t know what was going on she was just quietly letting him do, what he was doing. She was getting used to his such kind of behavior, when he did something, suddenly and unexpected.
Lu Qiang opened that wrap gown and put it on her. He secured it by tying the belt of wrap gown around her waist and said while holding her wrist, "Let’s go. We are getting late."
Lu Qiang didn’t give her a chance to ask where they were going and started walking while holding her hand.
Jiang Yuyan too didn’t ask where they were going. She just quietly walked along with him.
When they reached downstairs, butler greeted them saying, "Good Morning Master and Mistress."
Lu Qiang was in a hurry so he just passed by him but Jiang Yuyan turned her head to look at him with surprised expressions on her face. She was actually surprised to hear him calling her a Mistress.
Jiang Yuyan thought, ’She was not married yet to Lu Qiang and he is already calling her a mistress, a mistress of this beautiful house’.
She turned her head back, smiled and continued walking along with Lu Qiang.
Just in a while, both reached to the same spot of the hill where they were observing a beautiful view of the city last night.
Lu Qiang stopped there and said, "Here we are."
Jiang looked in front of her. She saw the view. It was totally different from what she saw last night and it was obvious because it was a day not a night but still there was something different she felt in her heart.
As they were on hill, sun rays reached there earlier than they could reach down there to the city.
City looked beautiful. As it was early morning, there were not much vehicles running on the streets, so there was no movement or sound they could see or hear from here.
Birds were flying in the sky. City looked like surrounded by clouds.
It was a beautiful view, so peaceful and heartwarming. Jiang Yuyan stood there and was looking at it. She closed her eyes to feel the morning breeze. She had a peaceful smile on her face.
Lu Qiang looked at her and smiled too. After spending some time there while enjoying the morning treat for their eyes both went back to the duplex.
When they went inside, butler was there too. He greeted them again and asked, "Master-Mistress, what would you like to have for breakfast?"
Lu Qiang looked at him and said, "Everything, that Mistress of this house will like."
Butler nodded and left to the kitchen.
Jiang Yuyan was just observing these two people, a master and a servant. She was just stunned to see this, what was happening.
Earlier when the butler called her mistress, she though, he might be mistaken but now Lu Qiang too called her mistress of this house.
When butler left, she looked at Lu Qiang with the questioning expressions.
Lu Qiang too looked at her. He knew, what she was thinking about. He smiled and said, "Mistress of this house! Let’s go get fresh first." He then signaled her to go upstairs first.
Jiang Yuyan moved in the direction of the stairs, still having those expressions on her face. Lu Qiang followed her behind.
Jiang Yuyan halted in her track after climbing few stairs up and turned around. She was just one step up from him that made her to stand face to face in front of him. There was no height difference now.
She looked straight into his eyes and asked, "Mistress?....Of this house?"
Lu Qiang nodded and said, "Yes! What else can I call you."
"But..."
"Don’t you want to be a mistress of this house? Our house?" Lu Qiang asked.
"No! it’s not like that...It’s just that...We are...."
"Marriage is not necessary for me to call you my wife and the mistress of this household." Lu Qiang stopped her and replied as he knew what she was going to say."
"Hmmm?" Jiang Yuyan had surprised expressions again on her face but she liked what he said.
Lu Qiang continued, "Yes! In my heart you are already my wife, remaining things are just formalities to show it to the world."
Jiang Yuyan was listening to him while staring in his eyes. She didn’t know how to reply him.
Lu Qiang mischievously smiled and said, "The only thing left is to consummate this marriage and I think we should do it as soon as possible. What do you say?"
"Cough**Cough!" Jiang Yuyan looked at him with her eyes open widely.
Lu Qiang smiled and moved forward to kiss her but before he could do it, Jiang Yuyan moved her face back, covered her lips with her hands and climbed one step up backward.
Lu Qiang looked at her with his one eyebrow raised and questioning expressions on his face.
Jiang Yuyan replied while still covering her mouth with a palm, "I haven’t brushed my teeth."
Upon hearing this Lu Qiang Laughed and said, "Haha! Me neither, so we are even."
He too climbed one step up to match to her height and immediately pulled her closer by circling his hand around her waist before she could move back up any further.
Jiang Yuyan was still covering her mouth with a palm. Lu Qiang kissed on her palm and said, "You can’t stop me and you know it better."
