Chapter 20 Looking At Her From Afar.

"Why are you driving so slow?" Mu Yuehan complained. "If you keep driving so slow, then for sure, we will be late in arriving at the airport."

With wide eyes, Li Tao looked at his boss from the rear-view mirror. He wanted to curse and yell.

'We are driving at a speed of two hundred mills, all right. I have already broken many signals, and what is this about getting late? There is still an hour left in the arrival of the flight.'

Mu Yuehan was eagerly looking out of the window. His heart was beating fast. He could not wait to meet Zhou Liying. He already recited in his mind how he was going to meet her, what he was going to say to her.

"I hope her anger at me has calmed down." He murmured to himself. "I am sure she is no longer angry at me after four years."

They arrived at the airport, forty-five minutes before the expected time of the flight. Li Tao parked the car in front of the gate of the private airway. Mu Yuehan was looking at the runway from the window of his car, without a blink of his eyes.

Zhou Liying had her air routes set by the authority which led to no traffic in her way. Though it was costly to have your own personal air route, but it was convenient as well.

That was why, their journey was very smooth, and they arrived in Shanghai after a journey of eleven hours unlike twelve hours journey on a commercial flight.

Zhou Liying stepped out of the jet and a gush of air blew past her face, blowing away her hair. Her heart rate picked up and she looked up at the sky.

"I am home, finally I am home, mom. The place where we have so many memories." She became emotional, remembering all the memories which she had with her mother, grandmother, and grandfather in Shanghai.

She did not let the sad memories invade her mind.

"Do you plan to stand here for the whole night?" Zhou Bingbing teased when Zhou Liying stood frozen at the first stair of the jet.

"No." Zhou Liying stepped down the stairs and placed her feet on the land of Shanghai. She clutched her fist, feeling overwhelming emotions flowing in her heart and mind. She was feeling emotional to be back.

"It feels like yesterday when I left Shanghai for good." She remembered the day when she left Shanghai to start a new life. It was probably the last memory she remembered before forgetting about everything for two years.

Zhou Bingbing looked at lost Zhou Liying and shook her head. She wrapped her arm around her cousin and pulled her toward the gates of the airport where their accommodation was waiting for them.

The moment Zhou Liying stepped out from the gate; she froze. Her heart beating picked up and she felt as if she was alive again. She became conscious and started to search around, feeling as if someone familiar was there around her, looking at her.

Her heart was thumping fast, calling for someone and she did not know whom!

"What happened?" Zhou Bingbing inquired, seeing a sudden change in Zhou Liying. She was restlessly searching for someone.

"I think someone is here. Someone I know." There was eagerness in her voice.

"No one is here." Zhou Bingbing rolled her eyes. "You are feeling hyper to be back in Shanghai."

"Maybe you are right." Zhou Liying nodded her head and walked toward the awaiting SUV.

Min Yue like an obedient assistant opened the backseat door for both the ladies. After closing the door, once they were settled, she took her seat on the shotgun seat.

On the side of Mu Yuehan

The heartbeat of Mu Yuehan picked up when he saw Zhou Liying stepping out of the airport. She was looking so enchanting, so beautiful, so breath-taking like always.

He was feeling giddy and love stuck boy all over again. He could feel all those feelings which he felt when he saw her for the first time four and a half years back.

His eyes shined with excitement when he saw her searching for someone. He was confident that she was searching for him. His heart was calling for her, after all.

"Boss, are you not going out of the car to meet Miss Zhou?" Li Tao questioned.

Suddenly, Mu Yuehan became nervous. He did not find the guts to face Zhou Liying. It was like he forgot what he was going to say to her. How he was going to face her.

"Not today, I don't plan to meet her today." There was panic in his voice.

Li Tao wanted to puck out blood upon hearing Mu Yuehan.

'If you don't want to meet her today then why the hell you groomed yourself like a man getting ready for his wedding?' He yelled out aloud in his heart.

With a disheartened expression on his face, he saw Zhou Liying climbing inside her SUV.

"Should I follow after the car of Miss Zhou?"

"No need. Drive straight to the penthouse. I want to have some rest. Today was quite tiring." Mu Yuehan replied, without averting his gaze away from the car of Zhou Liying.

Li Tao started the car and smartly drove his car parallel to the SUV of Zhou Liying.

From his car, Mu Yuehan was able to see the outline of Zhou Liying sitting in her car. Like a fan, he kept looking at her. He noticed her laughing and smiling at whatever her partner was saying and all this warmed his heart.

"So beautiful. Her smile is so beautiful." He smiled like a love-struck puppy and for a second, he felt jealous of Zhou Bingbing.

He wanted to be at her place, he wanted to see her laugh and smile. He wanted to hold her hand, run his figures in her hair. He wanted to kiss her senselessly.

"Arghh!" he groaned, recollecting the taste of her lips again on his lips. He threw his head back, against his seat and closed his eyes, dreaming about their kiss.

At the same time, Zhou Liying looked out of the window and noticed a black Porsche driven parallel to their car. She also noticed the silhouette of a man sitting at the back.

And she did not know why, her heartbeat again picked up and a feeling of familiarity filled her heart.
