Jackson Chu drove Cherry Shen back to his flat.
Cherry Shen was still thinking about what had happened at the Shen house. She entered the flat, and did not bother carefully surveying Jackson Chu's room.
Sitting by the bed, Cherry Shen lowered her head and stayed silent.
The sight of Cherry Shen reminded Jackson Chu of her beauty that other night. He couldn't control his emotions, and there seemed to be a fire raging inside him.
Jackson Chu gradually got close to Cherry Shen. The lamplight made her look even more fascinating than before.
"Cherry Shen, you are my girl. You must accept the responsibility that comes along."
Feeling Jackson Chu's close proximity, Cherry Shen looked up and said, "What are you going to do?"
She was so pure. Jackson couldn't resist it any longer. He abruptly pushed Cherry Chu down on the bed and pounced on her.
"Jackson Chu, what are you doing?" Cherry Shen resisted, looking at him while her body trembled. She felt fear when she recalled the pain from her first time.
"You are my girl. What do you think I'm going to do?" Jackson Chu gazed at Cherry Shen, said it word by word. He could hardly wait to get her.
While listening to Jackson Chu's words, Cherry Shen felt his big hand on her waist. She instinctively shuddered as she was still frightened of that terrible first time.
"No, no!" Cherry Shen said, quivering, while tears gathered in her eyes.
Jackson was about to touch her snow-white skin, but he felt a pang of guilt after seeing the expression on the face of the woman lying under him. He couldn't believe that her expression could touch his heart.
"Please, no." Cherry Shen begged. The indistinct picture from her first time enveloped her mind, and was amplified by the pain she felt in her lower body.
Jackson Chu looked at her and his heart finally softened. He suppressed his desire, rolled over and lay down besides Cherry Shen.
Cherry Shen stared blankly at the ceiling and couldn't hold back her tears any more.
Jackson Chu slept with Cherry Chu in his arms the entire night, without forcing himself on her.
The next day, they went to visit the Chu Clan.
In the formal living room of the military's residential compound, Andrew Chu sat on the chair in the center, with a smile on his face. His beloved grandson was bringing his granddaughter-in-law home.
Lucia Chu, Edwin Ye and their son John Ye were waiting for Jackson Chu and his fiancée in the living room, as well.
Both Lucia Chu and Edwin Ye wished happiness to their poker-faced cousin. Now that he had finally found his beloved, their father would not force him to go on blind dates.
The only person who felt completely restless was John Ye. His expression showed his nervousness. He couldn't believe that the woman he loved had become his aunt.
As he was driving, Derek Lu looked at Jackson Chu and Cherry Shen through the rear-view mirror, wondering if this was the girl in Jackson's room the other night.
The car arrived at the military's residential compound. The three got out and walked towards the house of the Chu Clan.
Andrew Chu focused his sights on the woman who walked with Jackson Chu, arm in arm. Just like refreshing breeze, she did not appear to be the kind of girl who only had a gorgeous packaging.
