Yan Mei's legs were cross over as she watched the busy streets through the Cafe's window. She was currently waiting for Leng Shao since they scheduled to meet here.

Feeling a gaze on her, Yan Mei turned and saw Leng Shao striding towards her. He was wearing a pair of black jeans and white shirt. A gold wrist watch was wrapped around his wrist. If Yan Mei hadn't met Lei Zhao she would have found Leng Shao handsome. The guy was the definition of handsomeness. His cute dimple made him more charming.

"Hey," He said with his soothing voice before flashing Yan Mei a smile.

"Hy, you look nice Leng Shao. Who is the lucky girl you have met?" Yan Mei teased him.

Leng Shao snorted at her question but Yan Mei saw the ghost of smile at the corner of his lips as they tugged upwards.

Leng Shao looked at Yan Mei. She was wearing a red floral dress and her hair was tied into a ponytail making her look less intimidating than the first time he met her in City S.

She looked like the stunning innocent girl he met five years ago.

"You don't look bad yourself," He complimented Yan Mei smiling softly at her.

"Let's go for ice cream instead of coffee. You still like ice cream right?"

Yan Mei chuckled nodding, "Alright."

Yan Mei stood up and followed him out of the cafe.

"So how have you been doing?" Leng Shao asked softly.

Yan Mei snapped her head towards him, "Good just busy. You?"

"I'm good."

They arrived at an ice cream stand which brought memories to Yan Mei.

"So is chocolate still your favorite ice cream?" Leng Shao asked as they waited in line. There were currently five people before them so Leng Shao decided to pick a conversation.

"Do you even have to ask? Chocolate is life!"

Leng Shao wrinkled his nose. "I can see you still hate chocolate." Yan Mei let out a laugh.

"Yeah, I don't understand why you all like chocolate. It's just-"

"Delicious?" Yan Mei completed his sentence for him.

Leng Shao scrunched his face in disgust.

"No, it's not."

Leng Shao shook his head and sighed. It reached their turn and they ordered. Yan Mei ordered her chocolate ice cream while Leng Shao ordered vanilla.

Yan Mei dipped her spoon into the ice cream and brought it to her lips moaning in satisfaction.

"This right here...is Heaven on Earth." Yan Mei said dramatic.

Leng Shao rolled his eyes and shoved at her shoulders causing Yan Mei to chuckle.

"Let's find a place to talk." Leng Shao said and Yan Mei nodded. They strolled leisurely down the streets earning curious gaze from people.

It's not everyday that they see two beautiful people walk side by side. Leng Shao peered up at Yan Mei as a comfortable silence fell between them.

He enjoyed this moment with her. She was so beautiful and waking up everyday knowing she wasn't his, hurts.

They walked towards a beautiful park and sat at the swings looking at couples having picnics and kids playing.

"I know you like parks so I brought you here." Yan Mei flashed him a soft smile.

"Thank you, Leng Shao." He shrugged his shoulders and dug his spoon into his cup before bringing it to his lips.

"So are you still painting? I thought you were going to be a famous painter but you build a jewelry empire instead. I don't know if I should be impress or scold you for not following your dreams."

Yan Mei looked at him and saw a question look lingering on his face.

"No, I haven't held a brush in five years." Yan Mei mumbled avoiding his gaze.

"Why?" Leng Shao asked.

Yan Mei arms snaked around the swing set as she began to rock herself back and forth.

"Because...being a painter is more than just painting. You need inspiration and a lot of things. Also, I'm afraid painting would bring back bad memories. Memories I have buried deep inside."

Leng Shao stilled for a moment then blinked.

"But you had a dream Yan Mei. You were going to build the biggest art gallery filled with your paintings in the country. Are you telling me that you have given up on that dream?"

Dead silence fell between them for a few minutes before Yan Mei let out a shaky breath still avoiding his gaze.

"I'm living my mother's dream, Leng Shao that's all that matters."

Yan Mei said as she turned to look at him. His lips were pursed into a thin line.

"Your mother wouldn't want you to be living her dream-"

"You knew nothing about my mother!" Yan Mei snapped at Leng Shao.

"Yeah, I don't. Sorry." Leng Shao mumbled and his eyes dropped lowlyy as he averted his gaze and focused on his ice cream.

Yan Mei frowned at her reaction and sighed.

"Sorry, Leng Shao. I didn't mean to. I guess I'm just tired."

Leng Shao looked up at her and patted her head gently.

"It's okay. Don't worry about it. I totally understand you."

"So have you forgive me?" Yan Mei asked softly.

Leng Shao chuckled, "Nothing to forgive. Don't worry."

Yan Mei shot him a grateful smile. Leng Shao was like a brother to her. He spoiled her and always have in to her demands. A glint of mischievousness passed through Yan Mei's eyes.

"So..."

Leng Shao raised his brows. He had a feeling he was not going to like what she was about to say.

"What?"

"My best friend and secretary. What do you think about her?"

Leng Shao groaned, "Don't start, Yan Mei."

Yan Mei blinked and pouted.

"You're not getting young, Leng Shao. When would you settle down? I want to be a godmother."

Leng Shao rubbed his temples. "So you want to set me up with your best friend?"

Yan Mei nodded.

"What do you think?" Looking at the expectation in her eyes, he couldn't refuse her.

"Alright, I would go on one date with her. If it doesn't work-"

"Yes, yes. I won't force you!"
