-1 year later-

"Baby!"

"Yes?" Mei shouted back

He walked into the living room. "Are you ready?"

"I am." She replied with a smile.

Mei and Minghao were going on another date, but it was fancier, so he had a suit on and she had this on.

"You look gorgeous." He complimented, walking by and giving her a peck on the lips.

"As do you." She replied, walking behind him.

He gasped dramatically. "Aw, I'm gorgeous, too?"

Mei laughed at him. "Let's go before we're late."

She grabbed his elbow and they walked out of the apartment. They both finished senior year and graduated. There was no doubt about it that they were soulmates. They talked about each others scents, therefore, they knew for a fact that they were meant for eachother.

They got to the restaurant, a five star french restaurant, and went inside. "Reservation for Mr. Xu?" The lady at the desk asked.

"Yes ma'am." He replied.

She walked the two over to their table, and sat them down, then their orders were taken.

"This is really nice, Ming." She said.

"Anything for my baby."

Mei's cheeks got hot. "We've been together for over a year and you still manage to make me blush."

"Maybe it's our undying love and passion for each other."

The girl laughed as he cutely shook his shoulders "You're too cute for you own good."

"That's what that girl over there thinks, too." He said, averting his gaze to behind her.

Mei looked back and saw a girl staring him down. She made eye contact with her and smiled, waving at her. The random girl averted her gaze to her lap and Mei  turned back around to her beloved boyfriend.

"I thought you were going to get up and snap her neck." He confessed.

"Hey," Mei held her hand up. "I've gotten better ever since Dajoon happened."

"Yeah, I know."

"You know how I told you about that rumor about my anger issues?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I was kidding. I've actually never gotten that angry before until he suggested I leave you."

"You snapped his neck because of me?" He whispered.

"Yes, and no. He wanted me to leave you, he killed your mom, and I didn't mention it that day," you paused and sighed. "But I remember Boyoung mentioning Dajoon and how he tried to take Hyun-Ae for a lover, luckily she escaped."

"You know, I woke up before you and he told me that he was going to make you his lover." He told Mei.

She scoffed. "Crazy guy would've wanted a cow as a lover."

He smiled and grabbed her hand. "That day when you realized you were chained up and you kept calling out for me, it really broke my heart seeing how panicked and scared you were. I just wanted to hold you and tell you it would be okay."

She grabbed his hands. "I really do love you."

"I love you, too."

Then their food came out and they began eating. "So, have you talked to Boyoung ever since that first time?"

"Once. We talked about Mi-sun and Miss Yoon and how he wanted us to protect them." Mei said.

"Have you contacted them lately?"

"Actually, I have. Miss Yoon called and said that Mi-sun wanted to see us next week."

"I miss that cute child."

"Me too, and when she's around I can see how good of a dad you'll be." Mei stated, making him smile.

"The first time I ever noticed how good of a mom you'd be was the first day you met her. So I guess we'll be a great set of parents."

Mei chuckled. "Yes, we will be."

Soon, they finished dinner and Minghao paid. They got up and were about to leave when Minghao caught her attention.

"Mei?"

"Yes, Minghao?" She replied.

He pulled out a black box and got on one knee, making Mei put her hands over her mouth to prevent herself from making noise as her vision blurred.

"Ever since I met you, I've been the happiest man on earth," he paused opening the box. "Liu Mei, will you marry me?"

Tears streamed down her cheeks, as she nodded her head. "Yes, Minghao. Yes, I'll marry you!"

He got up and put the ring on her finger, pulling her into a passionate kiss. They pulled away and realized that a bunch of people were cheering. Minghao grabbed her hand and slightly bowed towards all the people cheering and left the restaurant.

"We're engaged." Mei said out of pure joy.

"I wouldn't want it to be anyone else, either." He said, pulling his fiancé into another kiss.

They got into the car and headed home. She was so excited that she went straight to the dining room when they got into the apartment to talk about the wedding.

"So, where do you want it to be?" He asked.

"I feel like a church is slightly too formal. So how about somewhere that we both enjoy being?"

"A small wedding on the beach at night?" He suggested.

"Yes, that's perfect." She complied.

Star gazing and going to the beach was something they would do together often. "Okay, when?"

"Is next month possible?"

"Absolutely." He replied.

"Who will be your best man?" Mei asked.

"Kino and Renjun can both be. I can't choose," he said with a smile. "What about your bridesmaid?"

"You know, I never really had that many female friends.," she retorted, pursing her lips. "So, I think Hyun-Ae would be the best choice." Mei said, earning a nod from Minghao.

"Flower girl?" He questioned.

They looked at each other and nodded simultaneously. "Mi-sun."

"Who all is invited then? We weren't really social butterflies who were friends with everyone." She asked.

"Kino, Renjun, Hyun-Ae, Mi-sun and maybe we can invite our parents?" He suggested.

"Oh," she started as she remembered something. "My parents apologized for everything. They also said that they support me in whatever I do."

"That's good, because my dad said he was glad I didn't stick with Jaehwa. Apparently she started acting really stuck up."

"She was stuck up before you broke up with her," Mei raised an eyebrow, and Minghao nodded in agreement. "Good, so we can invite our parents."

Both of them got up from their chairs. "So, it's planned."

"This is so fun." Mei exclaimed as they walked into the bedroom.

He gave her a quick kiss. "Very."

They changed out of their date clothes and into more comfortable ones, laying in bed.

"I love you, Mei." Minghao whispered, placing a kiss on Mei's clothed shoulder.

"I love you too, Minghao."
