CHAPTER 198
After Ye Chaoxiang and Ning Xiaozhi left the ice cream parlour, they went to watch a movie. By the time they came out of the theatre, it was already one in the afternoon. Now it was time for the aimless driving. On their way, they bought two burgers and soft drinks on their driving spree as none of them had breakfast this morning. As the two of them chatted away, Ning Xiaozhi's phone dinged, indicating that a message had been sent to her. It caught both their attention as their gazes moves to the phone.
"I'm sorry. Let me get that," she apologized knowing fully well that once you are on a date with someone, it is kind of rude to be on your phone.
"No worries," Ye Chaoxiang said. His gaze did not move from her face as she unlocked her phone and read the message. Then he saw how she smiled sweetly.
"Aww! So cute," she exclaimed loudly.
"Can I ask who sent you a message?" Ye Chaoxiang said. He was curious to know what she was looking at. In fact, he was curious to know every single thing she does.
"Yes, you can. My bestie sent me a very cute photo," she answered.
"Oh okay."
"Do you want to have a look?" She asked.
"Do you want me to have a look?" He questioned back. Ning Xiaozhi pouted.

"This- this woman. You know her?" Ye Chaoxiang asked.
"Yeah, I do. Why do you ask? Do you also know her?" Ning Xiaozhi raised her brows.
"Yes, I do know her. She was a patient of mine. Not her actually. It was her mother and I saw her yesterday. She came to the hospital with her mother. Ms Bai is also that waitress we missed at the restaurant," he said.
"Really? So you are my best friend's mother's doctor and you two have seen at the restaurant and in your hospital? This world is full of surprises and is very small," she said.
"Yeah."
"Oh my God! This is so amazing and unbelievable," Ning Xiaozhi felt happy.
"So she is your best friend. She is pretty like you her nephew is cute too," he said as if he did not know the relation between that kid and Bai Renxiang.
"That is not her nephew. He is her son and my godson," she said.
"What? She is a mum?" He threw a surprised look at her before turning his eyes back on the road.
"Yes, she is. Very young and beautiful right?" Ning Xiaozhi smiled. She was acting like a proud mother.
"She sure is. Is she a nice person?"
"Hell yeah, she is. My Rennie is an angel sent from heaven. I have never met anyone that can compare to her," Ning Xiaozhi did not fail to praise her best friend.
"You sure like her a lot."
"I love her. If I didn't there is no way she would be my bestie. There are so many things I love about her. Let's not even get started with them because I could go on and on and on," she said.
"I see. Okay, we are here. Let's get down," Ye Chaoxiang said as he stopped the car and took off his seat belt.
"What? Why did you stop driving? Where are we?" Ning Xiaozhi asked as she looked out of her window.
"Relax. You will love it here. Trust me and get down," he assured her.
"This had better been good, Ye Chaoxiang. Or else I will never talk to you," she said and stepped out of the car. She looked around only to see nothing but trees. It seems as if they were on a cliff.
BANG
Ning Xiaozhi immediately turned to the noise source. Ye Chaoxiang took out the light snack they bought on the way from the car. He went straight to the bonnet of the car and sat. Ning Xiaozhi's eyes followed his every move.
She was still confused as to what they were doing here instead of touring the city. Ye Chaoxiang smiled as he patted the space beside him on the bonnet, telling her to come and sit. Ning Xiaozhi sighed and sat. He passed a burger and soft drink to her and he took his.
"Ye Chaoxiang, can you tell me what we are doing here? Sitting in your car that is a little far from the cliff? Eating burgers and drinking?" She asked.
"It's a surprise. Just eat your burger and wait patiently. I will show you when the time comes," he said.

"Do you trust me?" He cut her off.
"Yes."
"Then just do as I say. You will love what I'll show you. Oh and don't worry... I won't push you or drive us off the cliff so relax," he teased.
"I was not worried about that. I hope I love your surprise. One week of no contact is the penalty," Ning Xiaozhi said and took a small bite out of her burger.
"Is that a threat?" Ye Chaoxiang asked.
"Call it whatever you want. It is all up to you," she shrugged her shoulders. Ye Chaoxiang chuckled.
"Look who is being smart now."
"I won't say anything to you."
After waiting for about thirty minutes, Ye Chaoxiang stood up and straightened his clothes. He beckoned on her to come closer to him. Ning Xiaozhi eyed him suspiciously before she walked toward him. He closed her eyes and walked away from the car to some distance.
"Ye Chaoxiang, You are not going to leave me right?"
"Trust me and relax," he said while smiling.
Soon they came to a halt. Then he slowly took his hands off her eyes. In front of them was a very beautiful view of the sunset. Ning Xiaozhi was speechless. With a breathtaking smile on her face, she turned to him.
"It's beautiful. Thank- mm."
Her thank you was shut with a breathtaking kiss.
