“Husband.”  She grabbed his briefcase, handing him the keys.  Turning to Tian Sisi, she waved goodbye. 

“Call me later okay?”  She smiled at Yu Banshan before getting into the passenger seat.  Yu Banshan stood there, rubbing the back of his neck.  They both watched them drive away before he dared to talk.  

 “How have you been since...” 

 “The New Years Party?”  Tian Sisi, looked down at her shoes, a smile coming over her.  Yu Banshan felt his ears grow red, thinking back to the conversation a few weeks ago with Xiao Nai.  “I’ve been good.  I hope you weren’t feeling to bad the next morning.  You were pretty drunk.”  Yu Banshan let out a nervous laugh, the remembering throwing up way to many times.   

 “Not my best shinning moment….So can I walk you to your car?”  He tried to brush off the moment were his voice hitched a little.  Tian Sisi smiled, she seemed to enjoy how nervous he was.  

 “Weiwei brought me here.  I was just going to call a taxi.” 

 “I can drive you home.”  He said a little too quickly.  “I mean, it’s wasteful to take a taxi when I have perfectly good car.”  

 “Okay.  Thank you.”  Yu Banshan held open the passenger seat for her, moving to put his briefcase in the back seat.  Once the door was shut, he took in a deep breath knowing this was Weiwei’s plan the entire time.  After setting up her address into the navigation system, he began the drive.  The awkward silence in the car was killing the both of them.  

 “I’m sorry-” 

 “This is…”  

 They both began to speak at the same time.  Tian Sisi blushed, looking out the window.  

 “I mean..I’m sorry, for what I said at the party.”  Tian Sisi was confused at this.  Turning towards him, she noticed how his adams apple bowed, his ears still red.  

 “Do you even remember what you said?”  His knuckles turning slightly white under the grip he had on the steering wheel.  

 “Honestly, I don’t remember when you even showed up.”  Tian Sisi couldn’t hold in the laugh that came out.  She understood, his mind was racing trying to figure out what he had done.  

 “Well, after we came in, you stumbled over, and held my hand.  You had pulled Qiu Younghou with you, talking to him mostly.  Saying how you must be dreaming because I was there.  That I looked the best in blue and you wished I was real.  I was flattered actually.”  

 “I was told I was a little bit more...suggestive.”  He made a mental note to yell at his friends later.  

 “You were nothing but sweet and drunk.”  She reached into her bag pulling out a key card.  “Use this to get into the garage, the elevator is just on the inside in the right.  You don’t need it to get out.”  He took it, pulling into the parking lot.  Pulling up, he placed the car in park.  Before he could unfasten his seatbelt, she leaned over, pulling on his jacket.  Taking him by surprised, her lips collided with his.  He kissed her back, but before he could go deeper, she pulled away and dashing out of his car.  She smiled, waving goodbye to him, before disappearing into the elevator, her cheeks flushed.  Yu Banshan sat there shocked until a car honked behind him startling him out of his daydream.  He had a smile on for the rest of the day.
