Shocked, surprised, dumbfound, numbed and puzzled was what Zhou Liying was feeling at that moment. She felt as if she was in a dream, imagining HanHan to be Mu Yuehan.
But the panty-dropping smile on his lips, the smile she loved the most told her otherwise. The man in front of her was her ex-driver cum bodyguard, he was none other than Mu Yuehan.
She was looking forward to meeting Mu Yuehan, completely unaware that he was always with her, all this time.
Zhou Liying looked at Mu Yuehan. He was wearing a black tux with a red tie. His hairs were tossed back. He wore gold and diamond cuffing with an expense watch in his hand. She recognised his shoes to be the bestseller of a famous Italian brand.
He was giving off a rich and charming aura, which again told her, he was Mu Yuehan.
The mind of Zhou Liying short-circuited when she saw him. She did not know what to say or do. Should she get angry with him for keeping her in dark, for hiding his true identity from her? Or should she praise him for his perfect acting, for bearing a boss like hers?
Mu Yuehan looked at a silent Zhou Liying, feeling nervous. He wanted to know what her reaction to his identity was. Would she agree to marry him now, after knowing his true self?
His hands were sweaty with nervousness. There was sweat in between his brows. He was secretly twisting his left foot in anxiety. He was feeling suffocated because her silence was killing him. His heart was beating slowly with anxiety.
"You cheater, how dare of you to cheat me?" Zhou Liying accused him, after collecting her senses. "How dare of you to keep me in dark? Answer me, why did you become my guard? What did you want from me? Were you there to gain my corporation's secret?"
Mu Yuehan raised his hands in surrender when he noticed the fire in her eyes. She was furious at him. "I became your driver only to get close to you. I like you Lili; I like you very much. And I know the only way to be close to you was to become your driver."
"How can I believe that you like me?" she scoffed. "Many people say the same to me."
Mu Yuehan pulled her hand and placed it on his chest. She was jerked closer to him with his pull. She felt sparks on her wrist where he touched. She looked at him with wide eyes.
"Feel my heart. You will be able to hear your name." Mu Yuehan tightened his grip on her hand. "You know I like you. You are well aware of my feelings."
The breath of Zhou Liying hitched when she heard him. She felt her heart beating fast in her chest, just like his heart. She saw pure love and passion in his eyes. She wanted to get lost in his deep and love-filled eyes.
"So, cheesy, ha, ha, ha." She chuckled coldly and took her hand away from his grip. "You have already fooled me but no more. How can you make me believe that you love me? Fast beating heart, decorating a restaurant looks good only in movies. Trust is what is needed in love, and your lack in that case. You cheated on me and I can't date a cheater. So, I will take your leave."
Zhou Liying took a deep breath and took a step forward. It was hard for her to leave Mu Yuehan and his feelings behind. She knew his feelings were true. She felt it.
Was she angry that he lied about his identity to her?
No, because she understood him somewhat!
Come on, she dated many men in the past and she always hid her identity because she wanted the other person to see her as a simple girl. It was not the fault of Mu Yuehan if he thought the same.
She was impressed with him. She could understand how hard it must have been for him to stay in the apartment she gave to him, Following behind her everywhere, without caring for his company, Following after her like her bodyguard wherever she went, keeping his ego aside.
"Lili don't forget, this hotel is surrounded by my guards." Mu Yuehan spoke, stopping her in her steps.
"Are you threatening me?" her voice was cold and chilly. Her eyes were turning black.
"No, I am reminding you." He walked toward her and stopped in front of her. He tucked his hands in his pocket. "I know your guards are here to protect you, but do you want a blood bath only because of your ego? Tsk, tsk, tsk, not a smart move." He mocked her.
"Due to my one lie, do you want to miss the opportunity to be Missus Mu? Do you want to leave this restaurant room? I have heard that you love to try delicious cuisines and this hotel serves one, do you want to leave without tasting the delicious food, or enjoying one of the finest wines? Are you really the money-minded lady everyone speaks of?"
Zhou Liying took a deep breath. Her eyes were burning with anger. He caught her right nerve. She did not want a fight between their guards on such a small matter. Moreover, she wanted to try the food at this hotel.
Moreover, there was no harm in giving him a try. After all, she liked her bodyguard, did she not?
So, it wasn't hard for her to like his true identity as Mu Yuehan.
Keeping her deep fears aside, Zhou Liying decided to enjoy tonight in his company as planned. "I hope you have planned for a big dowry if you plan to marry me." Zhou Liying raised her right eyebrow In a perfect curve and walked toward the table.
Mu Yuehan walked behind her with a triumphant smile. He looked no less than a puppy who got a pat on his head by his owner when he noticed that Zhou Liying was thinking of marrying him.
"Don't worry, I have planned a big dowry for you. You will like it." Mu Yuehan smiled at her and directed her toward the table, which overlooked the city from the window.
Zhou Liying took her seat on the sofa and Mu Yuehan took his seat beside her. He leisurely threw his arm on the headrest and pushed himself closer to her, enjoying her warmth.
Zhou Liying closed her eyes, feeling his warmth sipping In her body. His manly fragrance was making her hazy. Her lips were turning dry and her eyes had turned dark. She had planned to be cold and shrewd with him tonight when talking about the proposal, but guess what, there seemed to be a change of plan.
