 Yibo POV

We arrived back at the estate, it felt good to be back home after the dramatic day we just had. I was happy that Bill gave me a chance to do this; even though I was scared of the unknown, I had to seem sure of myself. In all honesty, I was terrified and I hated the thought of being away from Zhan for so long. I couldn't think about it too much or else I'll end up changing my mind. It was too late to turn back now; I had to see this through.

"Welcome home" Angie said, as we walked in. Fufu, YuBin, and Jeffrey were standing behind her; smiling. I hid my left hand in my jean pocket as we went into the lounge.

"Thanks, It's good to be back," I said, hugging all of them. YuBin and Jeffrey gave an excuse and then left. "How was it?" Fufu asked smiling. I had to drag out the whole engagement thing; I knew they would just freak out.

"It was paradise" I said smiling at Zhan "And, it was full of surprises. One of them being this..." I added pulling my left hand out of my pocket and held it in front of them. Their eyes both widened as they took a collective gasp

"Oh my God, its Carman's ring. You're engaged?" Fufu said, shocked. I nodded and Angie squealed in excitement. "And I wrote it in the stars" she said hugging me and Zhan "Congratulations," she said, I watched Fufu sit down disbelief evident in her expression. I looked at her baffled.

Zhan smiled and sat down next to her; hugging her. I saw tears come down her face as she held Zhan's face in her hands.  "Your mother would be so proud of you," she said reverently and looked at me "Of the both of you" she added, I smiled and sat on her other side.

 Finally understanding her reaction, she was crying tears of joy because this is something she's always wanted. Just never thought could happen; I knew how she felt. "Congratulations" she said wiping her face, hugging me too.

We told them about Isle Yibo and Bermuda and how Zhan proposed; Angie couldn't stop saying 'aww' every now and then. Up until our encounter with Bill and his men. Fufu shook her head sadly "What was the verdict?" she asked looking at Zhan

"Yibo wants to become an agent too, Bill agreed" Zhan said blankly. "What?" Fufu said even more shocked than before looking at me, fury evident in her eyes. Zhan got up and went into the kitchen. "Thanks" I muttered sarcastically, he left me to face Fufu's wrath alone.

"You want to do what!!" Fufu shouted standing up "Fufu look, it's the only way for everyone. You saw what happened with Frank; I'm vulnerable and I can't afford to be," I said turning my gaze to Zhan "None of you can" I added. He shook his head and left the room. I finally understood why Zhan agreed in the first place, he was hoping the CIA would turn me down. 

I hung my head "I know what I'm doing Fufu, I want to be with Zhan without anything hanging over our heads. And if this is what it takes then I'll do it" I said with conviction. Fufu slumped back on the sofa "Not you too Yibo" she pained "It's bad enough that I have to worry about Zhan, now you too?" she asked looking at me.

I smiled apologetically "I'm sorry Fufu" I said, as she shook her head. "There's nothing I can say to change your mind?" She asked, with no hope in her eyes. I slowly shook my head looking down.

She sighed, "Well then be careful and good luck," she said hugging me, acceptance in her voice. Her tone shocked me, now why couldn't Zhan be like that? I had to make him see reason. "Thanks" I said.


Zhan and I lay in bed together in silence; I knew when something bothered him or when he had a lot on his mind. I nuzzled my cheek onto his chest. "Say something please?" I asked; I hated it when he was mad at me.
