Xi Yuan took the girl to the famous tourist destination of New York , Statue of Liberty .
Rong Xinghe had been to New York a few tis already , but since she used to be busy with the Military tasks , she never really got the chance to explore the infamous tourism spots of the place .
She was delighted when Xi Yuan brought her there .
" Thank You, Yuan ! I really wanted to co here ! " , Rong Xinghe clasped her hands in excitent as she gazed at the beautiful statue from the Motor Boat they were in .
While the girl was admiring the beauty of New York City , the young man was admiring the beauty beside him .
The man's face softened as a gentle smile crept across his mouth .
He could do anything for this genuine happiness of hers .
The boat cruised until it ca to a halt on the grounds of Liberty Island in New York Harbor just where the magnificent lady liberty stood .
When Rong Xinghe got down the boat and saw the view , she froze .
What the holly hell ?!
This ....
Why is there no human being here ?!
Statue of Liberty was said to be one of the seven wonders of the world. It was literally impossible that there were no visitors to visit it , no matter what the ti !
What more , it was Sunday today !!
How the hell is it even possible ?!
.... Until and unless , a certain soone had done it deliberately !
The girl peeked at the man beside her from the corner of her eyes only to find out that he was already looking at her with a smile on his lips.
" Co ! " , the man raised his hand in mid air like a gentleman to escort her sowhere .
" Uh... Yeah ! Of course ! " , the girl hesitated before placing her hand on his warm ones.
The man took the girl to the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty.
And when the girl reached the place , she was simply dumbfounded.
What the ....
Damn !
In the pedestal area , there was a beautiful candle light arrangent.
A dium-sized round table was covered with a silk lavender coloured cloth piece.
Upon the table , Rong Xinghe's favourite food was placed. Also , there was a bottle of Red Wine and two wine flutes beside the food .
The entire place was practically covered with candles all around and an alluring spicy vanilla scent of Orchid flowers .
Before Rong Xinghe could register the scene in front of her completely , Xi Yuan brought her near the table and pulled one of the two chairs .
The girl was so confused by now that she wanted to bang her head on that very statue there and then .
But what could she do ?
She smiled slightly and sat down on the chair .
Xi Yuan took the chair apposite to her , and started pouring the Wine in the flute glasses .
He passed one of the glasses to the girl and started making normal conversation to make the girl feel comfortable , " So.... What do you like about Statue of Liberty ? "
As expected , Rong Xinghe's tensed shoulders relaxed a little as she replied , " The most lovely part about this Statue are those broken chains on the ground beside her feet ! "
" Why ? "
" Because , according to , independence is the most beautiful thing in this world. The broken chains at the feet of the Lady Liberty symbolises freedom and democracy. They also represent the end of slavery in Arica and the Union victory in the Civil War." , the girl replied .
Xi Yuan smiled when he heard her opinions.
This girl ....
It was true that , to Xinghe , freedom was the most important thing .
She never liked any restraints on herself , neither did she allowed anyone else to snatch others' liberty .
The girl gulped down the entire glass of wine and was about to fill up again when Xi Yuan took away her glass and placed the bottle and glasses on the side table .
He stood up and started serving her food .
First , he served her favourite pasta and then , a French Bourgogne .
He sat down again and served the sa dishes in his plate , " Eat ! "
" Oh... Okay! " , Rong Xinghe did everything she was told to .
For a certain reason , she felt that the man was behaving a little odd today but she couldn't point out anything so far .
" And is there anything , to which , you can surrender your freedom ? " , the man asked after soti .
" Love. Compassion " , the girl said two words .
Xi Yuan beca silent after that.
He patiently served her the food one after the other. Rong Xinghe didn't liked it that he was treating her like a child and was rely one step away from feeding the food to her himself.
But she could feel that he was doing it all with a pure heart and intentions , so she didn't said anything and allowed him to have his way .
....
After soti , both the people were done with the dinner.
Rong Xinghe stood up and smiled , " Thank you , Yuan ! This was a beautiful night. "
The girl turned around to head towards the boat to return .
At this ti , the man grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace as he hugged her tightly and said nervously , " Xinghe ! "
Rong Xinghe was startled by the sudden change in the man's actions and tone.
" Yuan.... you ... "
" No ... Let talk. Let just say it all. " , the man mustered up so courage before he started speaking , " Rong Xiao Xinghe ! I love you ! I really love you ! At first , I thought it was just a fling , just a crush. But as the ti passed , and I saw the real you , I realised that this is love. When I saw the fighter Xinghe , when I saw the Compassionate Xinghe , when I saw the mischievous Xinghe , when I saw the brave Xinghe .... every ti .... my feelings grew even more.
" You were the first person to see beyond my power and wealth. You were the first person to listen to patiently about my past. You were the first person who beca my source of strength and support. I can't .... I can't put this fake facade of friends anymore. I want to be more than friends with you. I want to be the man whom , you know , will always be there for you , no matter what. I want to be the man whom you love.
" Xinghe .... I really tried to suppress myself , but I couldn't. I thought that if I couldn't suppress myself , then I'd better wait for the right ti to confess to you.
" But ... then that terrorist attack happened. When I saw your pale face and motionless body on that hospital bed , I was scared ! I was scared to death , Xinghe. At that very ti , I realized that there was no 'right ti '.
I couldn't keep you in dark about my feelings.
You needed to know this Xinghe. I don't want to betray the only woman I love !
" Lastly .... I promise you that no matter what you decide today , your independence or liberty won't be affected by ever. I promise that no matter how many mistakes you make , you will always find a ho in . I promise that I will give you the love that you deserve.
I , Xi Yuan , give my heart , my life , my breath and my existence to you , my girl !
And I really don't expect you to do the sa !
" So .... Rong Xiao Xinghe .... will you be mine ? .... Or will you make yours ?! " .
