30. Sanctuary

Zhan POV

I held Yibo for a little while longer, not ready to go back to the ball. I was beyond happy when he said yes, I knew he loved me but his agreeing to marry me spoke volumes.

"Were you nervous?" he asked, doubtful I was. I chuckled. "Very" I said, he rose his eyebrows at me "You intimidate me, little one, and I've spent my whole life around intimidating people" I added. He laughed and sighed in contentment "Do you really want kids Zhan?"

"As many as you can give me" I said, he smiled "it seems my theory was right" I added, he looked at me. "What theory?" he asked confused, "I was going to marry the one I deflowered," I said shaking my head in disbelief. The one virgin I sleep with I end up falling for.

"Oh" he said, remembering something that night. "Why did you sleep with me though? You didn't strike me as the one-night-stand type, and when I realized you were a virgin that made sense" I said. 

"I was broken when you found me" he said looking down "So I just decided to take Abby's advice and live for once, even just for one night. Even if it was with a kidnapper," he added. I chuckled "And your virtue?" I asked,

"It didn't matter, there was something about you that just felt right," he said smiling; I hugged him tighter and kissed his neck. He held up his left hand looking at the ring "So this is your mother's ring? I feel honored" he said reverently "Do you think she would've liked me?" he asked.

"She would've loved you" I said, as a matter of fact, he smiled then his expression turned solemn, touching the ring. "Do you think it's too early for us to get married?" he asked suddenly "Don't get me wrong I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you..." I shook my head "I understand, we've got a lot on our plate right now and many things we have to resolve before we do anything else" I said. 

He nodded "But I can keep the ring right?" he asked, I chuckled and rolled my eyes "Of course you can, it is yours. We don't have to get married right away, we can always have a lengthy engagement," I said inhaling his hair; it always smelled delicious; strawberry-like.

"I just wanted the right to call you my fiancée," I added and he laughed, delighted.  He was silent for a while looking at the skyline. "Are we leaving tomorrow?" he asked, I nodded, "I told our pilot to get the jet ready" I said, "We can leave now and rest, it's going to be a long day tomorrow", He nodded. "Yeah, let's get out of here" he said and I grabbed his hand and led him back into the hall.

We were back at the party, heading out when that redhead, Yibo was sitting with at the beach, approached us smiling.

"Yibo! You look amazing boy" she said hugging him, she smiled at me "Hey Sean". I nodded in acknowledgment. "It's so good to see you again" Yibo said smiling at her "Were you guys leaving?" she asked, crestfallen.

"Yeah, we're heading out tomorrow," Yibo said, I heard a little sadness in his voice. I looked at him, then Amber gasped taking Yibo's left hand. Looking back and forth between us "Oh my God, are you two engaged?" she asked, shocked. Yibo nodded smiling again, looking at me.

"He just proposed a moment ago," he said laughing. Amber squeaked in excitement hugging Yibo again and shook my hand "Congratulations, I saw this coming" she said winking at Yibo "All the best you two" she added.

"Thank you" I said, smiling at her. She nodded looking at Yibo again "Call Me," she said handing her phone numbers "I'll be expecting my wedding invitation, I'll fly to the Macao myself" she said laughing. "Of course I will, thank you Amber for everything" Yibo said in the same sad tone, Amber waved us off and walked away.

"Are you okay?" I asked, he nodded taking a deep breath "Yeah, I really like her but there's a possibility I might never see her again. You were right, the agency could still say no," he said. I squeezed his hand "Everything will work out, little one" I said soothing him. He smiled "If you're with me, I don't doubt that one bit" he said. 

We walked out to find a couple of paparazzi taking pictures of the other guests; they spotted us and ran to us taking pictures. Yibo and I stopped to smile for the cameras, as they asked about the ring on his finger. I didn't like to humor the press but when I attended functions like this I tried to be cordial.

"We're engaged," I proclaimed and they erupted into another set of questions, we waved and retreated into the car. Matthew congratulated us as he drove us back to the hotel.

"Well a lot of hearts are going to break at tomorrow newspaper," he said chuckling; I playfully raised my eyebrow. "And you're sympathetic?" I asked "Of course, I mean the most handsome is off the market. That's something to cry about" he said grinning. I laughed as he rested his head on my shoulder.

The hotel attendants finished uploading our luggage in the car. I checked out of the hotel; thanked the receptionist and walked out. Matthew drove us to the airport and parked close to our jet, he got out and helped the copilot loaded our luggage into the jet.

I wrapped my hand around Yibo and turned to him "Thank you Matthew, it's been a pleasure" I said, shaking hands with him. He smiled "The pleasure was all mine Mr. Sean Xiao, go well and all the best for the future. If you're ever in Bermuda again, please don't hesitate to call me," he said, I smiled and nodded.

"I won't," I said and he ducked his head and climbed into his car, we waved at him as he drove off. I turned to Yibo, "Are you ready to go?" I asked he nodded and we walked towards the jet. He paused a little looking around and then got in. We took off.

When we reached cruising altitude I pulled out my computer to undo what I did a month ago "You're uncorrupting the system?" he asked, eyeing me. I smiled at how he guessed that in all honesty, he would make a good agent because of his perceptiveness. 

But I still didn't like the idea, "Yes, this way the airport will be expecting this jet and the CIA will know we're coming" I said looking at him. He nodded stiffly, seeing him frightened unsettled me."It's going to be okay Yibo, you know I won't let them hurt you right?" I asked; I would kill them all, including Bill. He nodded. 

"I would leave the agency if needed be" I stated, I love being an agent but I love him more. There isn't anything I was not willing to do for him. He groaned, "That's the thing, I don't want you to leave the agency. I want to help you not hinder you," he said. 

I shook my head; I was about to protest when he stopped me with his hand. "I know, and yes this is the only way" he said, "Trust me" Not wanting to argue I let it drop, as we sat on the sofa cuddling.
