Sealed With Love

Ginkgo Road was one of M City's most beautiful roads. True to its name, there were tall and bushy ginkgo trees on either side of the road. The cold autumn winds blew the golden ginkgo leaves in a way that it looked as if the leaves were kissing the asphalt of the road, giving a romantic atmosphere to the place.

Celine was engrossed in the beauty of Ginkgo Road as she rode to her favorite romantic restaurant. The familiar air and the delightful scenery made her feel nostalgic.

Around seven or eight years ago on an enchanting autumn evening just like this one, Celine had gone to a bar to drink after suffering a heartbreak when a gang of men had come up to bother her.

"Hey, pretty girl! Are you here all by yourself?

Do you want to get drunk with us?

Come on, don't leave just yet!

Ha-ha..."

Celine was quite drunk at that point but she gathered herself and replied, "You bastards! What do you think of yourselves? Have you seen your faces? Go look in a mirror before you talk to me! Fuck off now!"

"Damn! You're really sexy!

Who cares what we look like? You look smoking hot, and that's all that matters!"

Celine saw evil flash on their faces as they slowly ganged up on her. One of the men came forward, grabbed her arm, and fiercely dragged her to a dimly-lit place outside the bar.

"What are you doing? Let go of me!" Celine panicked and struggled as she tried to ease herself out of his grasp.

"Let you go? Really?" Another man spat on Celine's face and said, "Why didn't you beg us to let you go when you were shouting curses at us?

It looks like we need to teach you how to behave!" He grinned devilishly as he stretched his filthy fingers and groped her.

"Help! Somebody help me!" cried Celine as she tried to draw people's attention, hoping that

am Celine Cheng!" She offered her hand for a handshake.

Making no move to shake her hand, Spencer looked at her pale white skin, which was exposed under her torn clothes. "Why don't you adjust your clothes first?"

"Ah..."

"Ma'am? Here we are! We've arrived," a voice suddenly said, pulling Celine out of her reminiscing.

"Yes?" Celine finally came back to reality and saw the driver looking at her with a worried look. "Have we arrived?"

"Yes, ma'am, we've arrived." The driver smiled lightly. "I called out to you for quite a while, but you didn't respond. You were smiling and thinking of something."

Celine gave him a lovely smile and said, "I was just thinking about...the first time I met my boyfriend. I couldn't help but smile."

"Since you seem so happy thinking about your boyfriend, he must be a real gentleman, right? He must make you really happy."

"Of course. That's right." Celine smiled proudly, paid the fare, and got out of her cab.

Looking at the scenery in front of her and remembering it to be just the way it had been seven years ago, Celine beamed. Spencer had saved her life the first time they had met. She truly believed that he would always be hers.
