Tricking My Cold Lover

"Go ahead, Mrs. Yeong," said Minsuh, directing Yanmei to enter a door.      

When she returned to the house in the afternoon, she found a white dress on their bed with a note for her to wear it. Shortly after, Yeong Soon asked her to go with Minsuh to the Marriot Hotel.      

"Yeong? Where are you? Mine?" Yanmei called after she was brought to a huge hall of a newly opened property.      

"Or is this a hall?" Yanmei asked herself.      

First of all, she came walking towards the back of the building and went past the gym. 'Why would a private function be all the way at the back?'     

It was her first time in the hotel, and she wasn't familiar with it.      

She entered a dark hall. It made her chuckle altogether. She was in for another surprise.      

Just the other night, her husband made his proposal to her live on TV. Yanmei was asked to award Lion Heart Entertainment's performing artists of the year. In the middle of the event, Anton came out holding a bouquet of purple roses. He kneeled down before his wife as she stood behind a podium and proposed for their tenth-anniversary wedding.      

It was such a sweet and thrilling moment that it made her cry. Once again, the entire city was made aware of how doting the fearful Anton Yeong was to his wife.      

She already knew they were going to celebrate it with a short renewal of vow ceremony, but she did not expect that Anton would really follow through on his promise three years back. He had committed to giving Yanmei a nationwide proposal, after granting his request inside his office.      

From the vast space of what Yanmei thought was a gathering place, it did not take long for the lights to be turned on. While she recognized another wonder was coming her way, she was still left gawking over the widespread of purple rose petals at the center of the floor.      

"Mine? Where are you?" Yanmei asked while giggling. "Come out. Come out wherever you are!" She nearly broke down, laughing at her last words.      

As she made her walk closer to the spread of rose petals, their wedding song came to play; Falling Like the Stars by James Arthur. The music was so loud; it was practically the only thing that she heard.      

It quickly made her turn emotional.      

~ "And I need you to know that we're fallin' so fast     

We're fallin' like the stars, fallin' in love     

And I'm not scared to say those words with you, I'm safe     

We're fallin' like the stars, we're fallin' in love"     

"I swear to God, I can see     

Four kids and no sleep" ~     

She chuckled at the lyrics because it was true. They had had many sleepless nights because of their kids. Although they only had three, they gave them more than enough challenges over the years. 'And more to come.'     

"Mine?!" This time she called a little louder, but Anton still did not answer.      

Yanmei found herself already walking onto the floor of purple rose petals, and just as she took the next step, she found herself falling down to her side.      

"Ahhhhh!" She screamed when she realized she had stepped on a depth of flowers. Her heart drummed against her ribcage, scared how she wound up falling down.      

Panting, she lay with eyes wide open, literally in a bed of rose petals in various shades. Her body was slowly sinking around in the sweet aroma of flowers.      

Just as the song came to a conclusion, she finally found her husband walking closer to the bed of roses. He came trailing in white pants and shirt, unbuttoned at the center.      

She marveled at his handsomeness. He was now in his forties, yet he still looked sexy. His skin glowed healthily and while he had very little wrinkles on his laugh and frown lines, his face generally remained tight. Adding to his manly features was the scar on his brow that Yanmei always thought was sexy.      

"Mine, like my surprise," he said while taking off his shirt.      

After putting the white shirt on the floor, he took a few more steps before acting to dive. He practically jumped in like he was about to swim into a swimming pool.      

The chuckling Yanmei screamed after getting splashed by rose petals, and then she came to an understanding, "Wait? Is this a swimming pool? Did you literally fill up a swimming pool with rose petals?"     

Anton came up struggling to climb up from a pit full of rose petals. When he found himself next to his wife, he pecked on her glossy lips and said, "Yes, I commissioned four flower shots to accomplish the job. But as a precaution, I had two layers of cushions place at the very bottom. To be precise, this is a five-foot deep swimming pool."     

"That's so sweet, mine," she said while turning to his side. She placed her hand on his handsome face and said, "I'm so lucky you are so handsome and you love me so."     

She pecked on his luscious lips and said, "I love you so much."     

They were both laying on their sides as Anton caressed her face. He watched as she closed her eyes and savored on the touch of his palm. He said, "My wife who melted my heart deserves every bit of petals inside this room. Thank you for loving me and giving me three wonderful children."     

While studying her elegant face, Anton recognized how Yanmei lost weight over time, juggling being a mother and working full time at the company at the same time. Moreover, they still maintained their regular martial arts training, and still went to the South Gun Factory every other weekend to practice shooting.      

"Thank you for all the sacrifices you made, strengthening our family, mine. Thank you for marrying me again," he softly told.      

His words touched Yanmei's heart that she felt like crying. She kissed his palm and said, "Of course, I did it because I love you and our kids."     

Anton put his hand on Yanmei's back and brought her closer to him. He felt the softness of her dress and the inviting curves beneath it. He said, "I like your dress. It suits you well."     

She moved her hand to his fine chest and pouted her lips. "You chose it for me."     

"Did I? I suppose, if I chose it, it means only I can benefit from it," he said with a tease.      

He grabbed her thigh and let it rest on his own. He seized her behind and gave it a good massage before sliding down to the softness of her skin. He then revealed, "This is a pre-honeymoon before our wedding."     

"Pfft... Pre-honeymoon?" She giggled at the thought. They had regular honeymoons at his office. The mansion was no longer a safe place as the children often knocked on their door, sometimes hiding inside their closet!     

Many times, their children almost caught them doing naughty things.      

"Mine, do you want to make the most memorable night before our tenth year wedding?" He asked right before finding her bottom cheek.      

"My dearest husband, you need not ask," she said before biting her lip and closing the gap between them.
