"Tell me, sweetie, what's wrong? Together, we will solve the problem. You can trust me. Your boyfriend has a solution to all the problems."

"I am here, I am here for you."

Warmth fuelled in the heart of Nian Tian when she heard him. Finally, she had someone ready to support her, to stand by her side in her hard times. His fragrance filled her senses, giving her some relief.

He felt like a rock to her, her rock!

She rubbed her face in his now socked shirt and looked at him. "Let me get you a glass of water first. Then you can tell me."

Mu Yuehan returned with a glass of water and gave it to her. She had the water in between her hiccups. He took his seat beside her and gently side-hugged her.

"Tell me, what's wrong.

"Zhan Wei, my grandpa…he…" Nian Tian sobbed and Mu Yuehan tightened his hold around her. "He collapsed. I do not know how he is doing now…. what if…what if…"

She again started to sob. Mu Yuehan looked at her with sad eyes.

"Do you want me to take you to him?" he offered.

"No, I can't…. go back. I....can't." Her voice was hoarse and throaty because of crying. "I…."

"Let me ask someone, back in Shanghai to get information about him, alright."

"Can you do that?" she looked at him with expectant eyes. "Are you so powerful?"

"Not me, but my boss. I am sure he will help me. You wait here, let me make some calls."

Nian Tian nodded to him and loosened her hold on him. They both immediately missed the closeness of each other. Mu Yuehan stood up and walked out of the office to make the call to his assistant back in Shanghai, giving him orders.

When he returned to the office, he saw Nian Tian rocking on her seat with anxiety. There was so much worry in her eyes. He wanted to see some worry in her eyes for himself.

"What did you find out?" she asked.

He walked toward her and removed her frown. "You should frown less."

She slapped his hand away and asked again, "how is grandpa?"

He did not reply. After some time, his phone rang and he passed it to Nian Tian. "Here, talk with him. Do not worry, my phone is secured. No one will find out about your location."

Tears filled in her eyes and she took his phone with shaky hands. She answered the call.

"Grandpa." Her voice was shaky. She bit her lips to stop her sobs.

"TianTian, is that you?" she heard the weak and surprise-filled voice of Qin Yanze.

"Mm, it's me. How are you, grandpa?"

"I am fine, especially after hearing your voice."

"But your collapse…?"

"You know media. They love to spice up the news. I fell because of stress and they called it an attack." She heard the usual fun-filled voice of her grandpa. She smiled.

"You tell me, missy, how are you doing? Didn't you remember me in the last two years?"

They talked for some time, about their lives. Neither Qin Yanze asked about her location, neither she disclosed it, knowing it was for the best. Last time, she was discovered in Paris only because of her calls with her grandpa.

Nian Tian ended the call, feeling light and happy. A heavy burden was lifted off from her shoulders and all thanks to Mu Yuehan.

She looked at him and hugged him tightly. "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. I am so lucky to have you. Thank you for loving me this much."

Mu Yuehan hugged her tight, liking this feeling of closeness between their bodies. He was enjoying the small electric sparks buzzing in his body due to their touch.

"Marta, we are leaving." Mu Yuehan informed.

Marta looked at the smiling face of Nian Tian and smiled. "Go, go, leave this restaurant in my hands. This old lady can handle it."

They left the restaurant together. Mu Yuehan wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

Finally!

Nian Tian looked at him and pushed her body toward him, enjoying his warmth. Both exchanged a mirroring smile with each other.

They arrived at the apartment. Mu Yuehan pushed her toward the bathroom. "Clean your face. You do not look good with a face filled with all these tears marks. Meanwhile, I will cook mom special sandwiches for you."

"Mom special?"

"Yup, my mom used to make sandwiches for me, whenever I was not in a good mood." Mu Yuehan informed with a loving smile, clearly remembering his mother.

"You never told me about your family. Tell me something more."

"I will," he pocked her nose. "But first clean your face."

"Ok boss." She mimicked a bow and made her way to the bathroom.

She looked at herself in the mirror. She cringed when she saw her appearance. Her hairs were flying here and there. Her face had ugly tear marks. Her eyes were red. Her lips were dry and cracked.

'What must be Zhan Wei thinking of me?'

She properly washed her face and stepped out of the bathroom. She saw Mu Yuehan cooking in her kitchen leisurely as if it was his kitchen.

She padded toward the kitchen in soft steps, enjoying the view of him in her apron. He looked sexier when working in her kitchen and with her apron.

She entered the kitchen and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind. Mu Yuehan jolted, feeling her hug. His lower region was alive again, desire rushed his vein. A fire burnt in his veins when he felt her soft bosoms against the hardness of his back.

With much difficulty, he removed her arms from around himself and looked at her. She playfully smiled at him.

"First kiss and now first hug. Missy, am I allowed to hug you back?" he knocked her nose.

"Yes, you are because I am in a happy mood today." She opened her arms and like an excited kid, getting his best gift, he hugged her tight, enjoying this moment, forgetting about the sandwich on the stove.

Soon, they smelt a pungent smell in the air. With wide eyes, Mu Yuehan broke the hug and turned around. "Oh shit."

He removed the sandwich from the stove and looked at its backside. It was dark like coal. Nian Tian chuckled upon seeing his disappointed face.
