Sad Reality

After seeing Madam He, Lily went back to Zhou Jingren's office as they had agreed to go home together.

"So? Do you like my gift?" Lily beamed as she watched Zhou Jingren open the huge box filled with neckties. "I want you to wear one every day." She said while staring at the amusement in her husband's eyes. "You know… as a reminder."

"Reminder of what?" He asked, amused at her statement.

"That I own you?" She folded her arms across her chest before chuckling. "So? Do you like it?"

"You know I do." Zhou Jingren smiled at his wife's playful grin. "I will wear anything you want."

"Good." She nodded. Her gaze trailed down to his exposed neck underneath the unbuttoned shirt. "So… how about you wear one now?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know… " Lily laughed. "A tie would look good on you." She leaned closer. Using a finger, Lily touched his neck, dragging her hands down, towards his chest. "Even if…. It's the only thing that you are wearing."
