BXBX NOVEL Chapter 34 How Can She Forget About Me?
"Boss, you sure you are ready to meet Miss Zhou today?" Li Tao looked at Mu Yuehan with a troubled expression on his face.
"I am all ready." Mu Yuehan declared with confidence.
Last night, Mu Yuehan was not able to fall asleep. He was continuously scolding himself for chickening out. His TianTian was so close to him but still, he did not find the courage to go in front of her.
From last night to today, he was practising how he was going to ask for her forgiveness, forgiveness for lying about his identity to her five years back.
He had skipped his office today, only because he wanted to be perfect with his speech. He wanted to win back the heart of Zhou Liying.
"Has the bouquet with artificial flowers arrived?" Mu Yuehan inquired, and Li Tao nodded his head in affirmation.
"Good. Wait for me. Let me get ready and then we will go to her apartment building."
Mu Yuehan entered his room and decided on the dress which he was going to wear tonight. After changing into his dress, when he came out of the leaving room, Li Tao fell from the sofa in shock upon seeing his dress.
"Boss why are you dressed so poorly?" he looked at Mu Yuehan with confusion, Thinking his boss had gone mad.
Instead of wearing some expensive custom-made suit, he was wearing a simple shirt and pants which Li Tao himself would not wear.
"When I met TianTian for the first time, I was wearing this same dress." Mu Yuehan replied. "Today also, I want to wear this same dress. Maybe her anger will subside after seeing me wearing this."
Li Tao nodded his head upon the explanation of Mu Yuehan and followed him out of the penthouse and toward the parking. Instead of selecting his car, Mu Yuehan decided to travel in the less expensive car of one of his guards.
Mu Yuehan arrived at the apartment building of Zhou Liying with the bouquet in his hand. He leaned against the car and started to look at the entry gate with longing.
He had appointed some guards to secretly follow Zhou Liying. He was continuously getting reports about her whereabouts.
"TianTian, I know you are angry with me. But please forgive me. Can\'t you…." he murmured the speech under his breath which he was going to give in front of Zhou Liying.
"They are here." Li Tao spoke from behind when the car of Zhou Liying entered inside.
Mu Yuehan straightened himself and waited for the car to stop. He then made his way toward the car. He took a deep breath and walked toward Zhou Liying, forwarding the bouquet toward her.
Zhou Liying stepped out of her car and looked at a stranger, a stranger with a goofy smile on his lips and a bouquet of artificial flowers in his hand. Her heart rate picked up when she saw the stranger, but she ignored it.
Mu Yuehan looked at Zhou Liying, looking at him and for a minute, he forgot to breathe. His mind fused, looking deep inside the familiar eyes.
He wanted to say something, but it was like he forgot everything. "You remember me?" he asked foolishly and mentally slapped himself.
Zhou Liying looked at the stranger with confusion. She was thinking if she knew him or not.
"Excuse me, who are you?" she asked and looked at him with narrowed eyes.
Mu Yuehan was flabbergasted when he heard her question and that was when he noticed that Zhou Liying was looking at him as if seeing him for the first time. Her eyes were cold and detached.
There was no anger, no pain, no love, no recognition in her eyes. He frowned.
"Idiot," Zhou Liying commented when she noticed Mu Yuehan standing there like a fool. She bypassed him and made her way toward her building.
Mu Yuehan looked at her retreating figure. He was about to follow her, to ask her about the reason for her such strange behaviour when the phone in his pocket rang.
Seeing the name of his PI he picked up the call.
"Boss, there is bad news. I just got my hands on hospital reports from four years back and as per them, Miss Zhou has suffered partial amnesia. She has forgotten two or so years of her life. Maybe she has forgotten about you." Wang Wei said in a soft voice, afraid of the reaction of Mu Yuehan.
The heart of Mu Yuehan stopped beating when he heard Wang Wei. Realisation dawned upon him. Now he knew why Zhou Liying was looking at him as if seeing him for the first time, the reason as to why her eyes were emotionless, why she never contacted him in all these years.
"Miss, maybe he is the driver sent by the agency. I have heard they offer gifts to their new owner, to get in their good book." Min Yue spoke all of the sudden.
Believing her explanation, Zhou Liying turned and walked toward Mu Yuehan, "Are you the driver cum bodyguard sent by the agency?"
Mu Yuehan looked at her and her eyes which held no recognition of him. He stood dumbly and nodded his head. No word came out of his mouth.
"Min Yue give him all the instructions and exchange your number with him."
Min Yue quickly gave all the instructions to Mu Yuehan and took his number. Mu Yuehan just stood there like a statue and did what he was asked to do.
Once Zhou Liying was out of his sight, he fell on the ground and tears started to flow from his eyes. Li Tao was at his side within a minute.
"Why me? Why me? How can she forget about me? Why is God punishing me like this? What wrong have I done to feel so much pain?"
He placed his hand over his heart, feeling immense pain. It was like someone was cutting his heart with a knife, stomping on it.
Zhou Liying stepped out of the elevator and felt a sudden pain in her heart. She placed her hand over her chest and closed her eyes. Min Yue was immediately at her rescue.
Outside, Li Tao supported a broken Mu Yuehan toward their car. Mu Yuehan took his seat and placed his head against the car window, lost in his past.
Lost in the beautiful memories with her.
Announcement: Next volume is going to be past love story, that is from the time Zhou Liying and Mu Yuehan first met and how they fell in love.
