Because I Cannot Hurt You

The receptionist led them to the elevator and through it towards their room. She smiled at them. "Sir. Please."

Yunru and Zizi were instead looking back at her, still completely shell-shocked. 

"Sir?"

"A-Ah?"

"Please open the door."

"...Yeah."

He fumbled with the keys and opened the door. The receptionist could hardly control her laughter.

Aiyaaa a father who booked a honeymoon suite for his son and daughter-in-law and that too *cough* before their marriage. Such a cool father!

But on the outside, she looked professional.

The door opened. At the same time, another staff member came and handed them a bag. "Sir. These are your change of clothes Mr. Soo has sent for you. It's for Miss. Han as well."

Zizi choked.

Yunru's smile faltered. "T-thank God."

The receptionist said, "Please ring the bell if you want anything. Staff is present on all the floors. Somebody will surely attend to you."

"Yeah."

The receptionist nudged the staff member and quickly left. Yunru and Zizi stood outside like two dumb statues. One of the occupants from a faraway room gave them a weird look seeing them standing so oddly as he exited his own room.

Ahhh we cannot keep standing here like this...

Yunru coughed. He grabbed her wrist and quickly got into the room, shutting the door.

Before they could say anything, they automatically glanced at the room. 

It was simply breathtaking. The room was dark except for two small, round cherry color candles lighting with their soft yellow glow on the either side of bedside tables. That gave a certain romantic mood. A mild fragrance of incense twitched up their nostrils. The bed was king-sized with red, transparent curtains hanging from a pole above. Soft rose petals were spread on the bedsheet. An amazing and glorious night view of Shanghai greeted them on the other side of the glass windows, and a pleasant breeze gently surrounded them.

It was a perfect setup for any couple wanting to spend some cozy time together.

But somehow Yunru felt his throat go dry. 

Dad…

He was confused over which point he should feel like pulling his hair out.

At the first glance only it was quite obvious that Soo Enlai had spent quite a bit of fortune on booking a room at a five-star hotel and then making all these best possible arrangements. Everything must have cost a lot, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. They were always a frugal family.

And the second point…

Dad, how could you be so shameless!? You, you, you…

Honeymoon suite…

He wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it. Just an hour ago, he confessed his love for Zizi, and now he already felt like never showing his face to her.

Yunru secretly but furiously typed a message with rapid speed.

'Dad! You! What is this? How should I face the Princess now? You are impossible!'

Soo Enlai was clearly online with a green circle beside his name, and he clearly read his message.

Then the green circle went grey.

"..."

How dare you go offline on me!? Come back!

Yunru cursed helplessly. He straightened up and glanced at Zizi, who hadn't moved an inch from her spot this whole time. Her face was blushing hard, and she was rubbing her hands together, nervous.

Yunru tried his best to smile. "Princess."

She jolted and turned her head like a mechanical doll did when its key was turned.

He lacked tears to shed.

See? Look what you did, Dad!

He touched the back of his neck. "Dad is sometimes hahaha...very…very…" he gritted his teeth, "eccentric. Even Mom used to be helpless against him hahaha."

Her brow twitched.

He gulped. "You don't need to think much of this, okay? I mean um…I-It's all up to you!"

He wanted to kill himself.

What was that, stupid!? It's like you are pressurizing her!

Yunru seriously had no words to express his thoughts.

"No, I didn't mean it that way…"

Zizi quickly said, "N-No. I understand...I also understand Dad's intentions…"

He wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Haha yeah. He-he doesn't mean anything bad by it."

Zizi said, "I will be back! W-washroom…"

Yunru nodded. "Sure."

She dashed inside and shut the door. Yunru let out a deep breath and collapsed on the bed.

Dad, you are so gonna suffer once I return! 

He sighed.

He locked his fingers and mumbled to himself. "It's not like I don't want it…"

With love would come the desire to touch your partner too. It was natural for a couple.

"But I don't want to scare her off. I mean, I just confessed today…She seems bold and flirtatious, but of course, she would definitely have reservations about our first night. How can we just suddenly tonight…"

He puffed out another long sigh. Time ticked by, and he realized that Zizi was taking too long in the bathroom.

He walked and was about to knock when he saw that the door was slightly ajar.

She hadn't shut it?

From the slight gap, a mirror came to his view through which he saw Zizi's back and faintly saw her staring at her phone with quite seriousness.

He scratched his chin.

What is she doing with her phone so seriously?

Curiosity grew within him. He ever so slowly opened the door without making any noise. Tiptoeing, he stood behind her and peeked at her. Zizi hadn't noticed his presence at all. She had a very serious expression on her face as if she was concentrating very hard on something.

Yunru curiously glanced at her phone.

And the next moment, he almost choked in his throat. He stared at the webpage open in her phone, dumbfounded.

He looked at the page, then at Zizi and back at the page. His eyes were rolling back and forth, unable to believe what he was seeing.

The content on the page was - Tips to have a memorable first night with your beloved.

Things a woman should do on her first night.

Things a woman should not do on her first night.

How to please your boyfriend.

"P-Princess...?"

As if somebody poured a bucket full of cold water on her, she froze.
