Tradition
A couple of hours later, everyone said their goodbyes, and suddenly, the penthouse was quiet. Then Ru Wen walked over to the couch and collapsed on it. I sat down next to her and pulled her feet on my lap.
I started massaging them as she smiled at me.
"Thank you, baby. Especially for tonight," she said.
"You're welcome. You deserve a party with family and friends for everything you've been through these last few months. Now it's only the beginning of the many things I'm going to do for you, Mrs Mu."
"You've already done enough, and I can't thank you enough."
"I know one way you can thank me if you're up to it," I grinned.
She got up from the couch, grabbed me by my shirt, and led me to the bedroom. She thanked me for the next hour and a half before we fell fast asleep, wrapped in each other's arms.
The next morning as I was sitting at my desk, I called the contractor to inquire about the house.
