It didn't take long for them to arrive at the destination that Shui Xian had in mind. Feeling like a restless teenager, Shui Xian actually extended his hand to cover Raelle's eyes acting like a kid.
"What are you doing?" asked Raelle.
"I just want you to keep your eyes closed for now," said Shui Xian.
"If I close my eyes, how am I supposed to see?"
"I'll put my hand down when the time is right," he answered.
"But I have to walk, no?"
"I'll lead you," he said. "You just keep your eyes closed for now."

If it wasn't for Shui Xian, Raelle believed she'd have spent her entire life without playing this game of blindfold. But with Shui Xian around, how could she not play such silly games? Her husband seemed to love these silly games. And since marriage is the name of giving in little to your partner, she'd definitely go along with Shui Xian.
In fact, even Shui Xian knew that if it wasn't for him, Raelle would never play this game. It was kind of silly and it was definitely not something, she'd do. But he felt so sweet when she just allowed him to do whatever he wanted. The way she sometimes gave all the control to him really pushed his heart into chaos.
After leading her in for about five minutes, he said, "You can open your eyes now."
And only when he told her did Raelle opened her eyes to look at the scene before her eyes. For a moment, she didn't even blink.
Currently, she stood on the stone path which was lined with arches had beautiful pink blooms. The sides of this stone path were lined with beautiful Dahlias. As far as her eyes could go, she could see the sea of flowers right in front of her eyes. Flowers in different colors bloomed beautifully giving a magical touch to this place.
The spring is already a beautiful season but right now, looking at the beauty of this spring, Raelle was momentarily quiet. In this flower garden, it felt like someone had picked the world's most beautiful flowers and put them all here.
Trees surrounded by beautiful flowers, lush green grass trimmed to perfections, water fountains... Everything was screaming beauty. And Raelle had actually lost herself in this beauty for a while. She was someone who was fond of visually pleasing things. How could she not like this beautiful place?
"This is really beautiful," she said to Shui Xian.
He smiled in satisfaction when he heard that. "I knew you'd like this place."
He took her around this flower garden. Looking at the wide array of roses, Aster, Peonies was pleasing to anyone. This place could put anyone's mind at ease.
Raelle squatted down at a side, "They even have poppies." She pointed to the other side saying, "Let's go over there. There are tulips there."
Shui Xian had really chosen the best time of the year to bring her to this place which was lined with beautiful flowers. And seeing how she looked happy, he was happy as well. Okay, Raelle was still as expressionless as ever but Shui Xian had managed to see that she was happy.
This wasn't like the world's largest flower garden, it certainly wasn't the most beautiful one as well. But at this moment, it had become Shui Xian's favorite one. He happily walked around with Raelle without any care.
"Hubby, you stand there," said Raelle as she asked Shui Xian to stand before the tulip field. There was even a fountain in the back making it the perfect background.
"Why am I standing here?" inquired Shui Xian incredulously.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Because I am gonna take a photo," she answered. She clearly remembered that Hyson had told her to click some photos but he also said not just to take photos of places but of people.
Shui Xian was surprised by her answer but he didn't say anything else at all. He stood where he was asked to and he even posed as he was asked to do so. And for the first time, he got to see how much of a professional his wife was when it came to photography. She had to capture the perfect angle with the perfect lighting and the most beautiful view of the background.
Thinking about it, he pulled her close and said, "Let's take some together. It's no fun to pose alone."
"Who will take the photo then?" she asked.
"We can just use the front camera," said Shui Xian.
"How about I just call Anna?" suggested Raelle. "She is around anyway."
"There is no need to bother anyone," was what Shui Xian said but he actually meant that he didn't want anyone to get between them. Wasn't it awesome with just the two of them? Why gather other people? Besides, wasn't it enough that her security team was still lurking around when they were clearly on a date? But he truly couldn't do anything about that.
And just because of Hyson's request, they actually clicked loads of photos. But Shui Xian wanted to capture every single moment he spent with Raelle so he insisted on taking more and more. As they were walking through the tunnel that was like a pathway leading to a fairytale because of the way wisterias covered this tunnel. It added a charming effect to this place.
Suddenly, Shui Xian stopped when they were in the middle of the tunnel. Raelle looked at him as if asking him why he suddenly stopped. Shui Xian didn't answer immediately. He placed his hand against her cheek as he stared at her face with a loving gaze.
"Baby, do you know that you have become the most beautiful part of my life?"
