Zeke and Lu AnLing had been siting for a while sharing hors-d'oeuvres that Zeke had ordered beforehand.

"I heard from Madame Durand once that you liked seafood, is that still true?" Zeke asked.

Lu AnLing: "Yes. I love seafood."

"Good." Zeke said as he smiled before he pushed the butter poached shrimp Lu AnLing's way.

Feeling awkward and unable to reject him, Lu AnLing ate the shrimp quietly.

"So," Zeke said as he poured himself a glass of wine. He gestured to Lu AnLing asking if she wanted one also but she respectfully declined. "What was it you wanted to talk to me about?"

Lu AnLing quickly stopped eating her shrimp and then she wiped her hands on the napkin before she straightened her back. Her whole body language had changed from awkward to business like.

The girl cleared her throat. "Yes... well... I'm here to return your money and ask you to not send me money anymore." Lu AnLing felt her heartbeat quicken. Then, before Zeke could say anything, she continued to speak, "Thank you very much for all that you've done for me for all these years, but I think I'm fine now."

Hearing this, Zeke's expression didn't change. This made Lu AnLing even more nervous. She didn't know Zeke. She had no idea what reaction to expect.

Many people believed that giving back the money someone had given you was rude. Lu AnLing hoped that Zeke didn't think this way because she wasn't trying to be rude.

Lu AnLing was truly thankful to all that Zeke had done for her. It's true that money isn't everything but If it wasn't for his money she wouldn't have had the chance to study abroad, learn more about music, search for her missing child or pursue a music career. He had made all this possible.

Back then, after living off his monetary support for a year and a little bit, Lu AnLing had begun to feel strange. Zeke was a stranger to her. The money he gave her was just for charity and she didn't want to be a charity case all her life. That was why she started working, taking care of her expenses on her own and why she always stored Zeke's money in the bank.

"Keep it." The man said without a care.

This caused Lu AnLing's face to darken slightly. "I couldn't possibly do that."

"Keep it as your dowry or brideprice. You might need the money one day." Zeke the took a sip of wine and said, "It's not like I need the money anyways."

Hearing this, Lu AnLing cocked her head. She didn't remember telling him she was married. Seeing this look on her face, Zeke said,

"That man you came in with, is he your boyfriend or your husband?"

Remembering that she had entered lovingly with Kang Jun, Lu AnLing nodded her head and then said, "Husband."

It didn't matter if she revealed it to Zeke. As she understood, the man had only ever lived in America and France so there was no way he would jeopardize Kang Jun and Lu AnLing's secret marriage.

"Is he treating you well? Are you happy now?" Zeke said softly as he gazed into the girl's eyes.

Hearing the tone of Zeke's voice and seeing the true caring in the man's eyes, Lu AnLing couldn't help but blurt out the truth.

"My husband is amazing and caring... he's so much more than anything I have ever wished for..." Lu AnLing felt herself tear up but she held her tears in. "I'm very happy right now."

The sincerity in Lu AnLings voice was something any person would be able to hear, so Zeke was quick to show a soft smile. If the girl was happy then he was happy.

Zeke: "Good. If anything ever happens, call me. I'm always willing to help. I'm your angel, after all."

Now that their talk was over, Zeke stood up. "Until some other time then, and if you don't mind. Say hello to your husband for me. He probably hates me for taking his cute bride away from him on this beautiful night."

Lu AnLing had no idea what to say to that so she nodded her head before saying, "Goodbye,"

Seeing her shell shocked expression, Zeke laughed before he said, "I know that life has been hard for you, and I'm so sorry about that. From now on, I wish you all the happiness in the world."

Those were the last words he said to her before he left. As he did, Lu AnLing stared at him until the man disappeared into the distance.

***

In the car, Kang Jun drove a dazed Lu AnLing.

The girl couldn't help but have her mind in the clouds. She could barely believe her interaction with Zeke but even worse, it seemed like the man cared for her. He had even gifted her a little more than half a million US dollars; if she counted the money he had given her every New Year, on her graduation and her birthdays.

Looking at her every so often, Kang Jun frowned.

"Was he that handsome?" The man grumbled.

Hearing this, Lu AnLing turned to the man and frowned for a second, but then, quickly understanding what was going on, Lu AnLing smirked.

She approached Kang Jun, making sure to lean her breasts against him. "Are you jealous?"

Feeling her against him, Kang Jun turned sharply and then parked at the side of the road. It had been a long time since she had felt the man's recklessness and so, Lu AnLing was a bit frazzled.

Looking over her and realizing that she was distracted from him, Kang Jun grabbed hold of her chin and brought her closer to him. "How can I not be jealous when my wife is thinking of another man in my presence?"

Being so close to the man, Lu AnLing gazed at his beautiful features and bit her lip. Even when jealous he still managed to be incredibly handsome. She couldn't stop her heart from beating hard in her chest.

In moments like this, she felt as if she should take a page out of Kang Jun's book, so she kissed him gently on the lips and then when they parted, Lu AnLing whispered, "Don't be jealous darling, I only want you."

Those words caused Kang Jun's cold heart to completely melt.
