Chapter 51 He Knows How To Win The Heart Of A Girl.

"Oh no," Nian Tian groaned when the next day, she again saw the face and smile of Mu Yuehan, early in the morning.

Yesterday, she could not sleep. Her mind was full of his declaration and his challenge that he would make her his. And the worst thing was, one portion of her wanted to see what he would do to make her his.

Her heart wanted to feel the dedication, care, and love of the opposite sex. It needed someone who could make her feel secure.

But her mind, it was continuously rebuking her for thinking about a man. It reminded her of all her past experiences with men. They only needed her for their physical need, not for love.

"You are here."

"Yes, I am, with full motivation to chase you. And there is good news, today, I have taken a leave. I will be spending my day with you, helping you with the restaurant." Mu Yuehan looked at her with full enthusiasm.

After confessing to her yesterday night, when he left for his house, he did a pep talk with himself. He did some search online and found, that it was not easy to pursue a girl. One needed to work hard and he was ready to do that.

After all, the fruit which we receive after doing hard work is the sweetest!

He was ready to give her his all, to show her with his actions that his feelings were true and strong toward her. He was ready to work hard to have her love as his fruit.

Nian Tian wanted to grumble and reject his idea but then she thought of something.

'Why not trouble him today? I am sure he will run away if I give him a lot of work.'

"I know there is no use to fight you."

"You are correct." Mu Yuehan clicked his fingers.

He could read the mind of Nian Tian. He knew she was not going to make today easy for him and he was ready to stand on all the tests she would throw in his way. He wanted to prove his dedication by helping her.

"Marta, today Zhan Wei will be helping me. You were asking for a leave. You can have one today." Marta looked at Nian Tian and then at Mu Yuehan.

She wanted to tell him that work at the restaurant was not easy but then Mu Yuehan gave her a reassurance-filled smile. "It's my way to persuade her. Maybe her heart will melt after seeing me working hard with dedication."

"All the best with your plan." Marta could only give him good luck. She knew Nian Tian was not going to make today any easy for him.

"Chop these onions in perfect cubes." Nian Tian gave the first task to Mu Yuehan.

Mu Yuehan looked at the basket with at least ten kilograms of unpeeled onions. He then looked at her face.

"Why will you need so many onions?" he asked in an accusing tone.

"All my dishes have quite a good amount of onion in them." She replied in a matter-of-fact tone, with no trace of lie in it. Be quick, chop them. And if you cannot, I can call Marta to help me. She is resting in…."

"No need. I have promised to help you and I will stand on it."

Nian Tian looked at him with mirth. She turned and started to brew coffee ordered by her customers.

Mu Yuehan scowled at her; her mirth not hidden from his eyes. "'if she thinks I will leave her after seeing onions, then she is wrong.'

Mu Yuehan started to peel onions. His eyes were burning, tears were flowing from his eyes but he ignored the itching. 'anything for TianTian.' He motivated himself and peeled the onions.

He dipped the onions in a tank full of water to lessen their effect. He was also thanking his mother who gave him some cooking tips and lessons when he was young.

After peeling the onions, he started to chop them. By now, his eyes were blurry because of tears. He was not able to see anything but he still chopped them, and too in perfect cubes.

Nian Tian was impressed seeing his culinary skills and his dedication.

'I must say, this man knows how to win the heart of women. He knows cooking, really!'

By the time Mu Yuehan was done with onions, his eyes were red and puffy due to crying. It looked as if he did not sleep for a whole week.

"Not bad." Nian Tian took the onions and then passed Mu Yuehan some garlic to peel.

After that, he was given potatoes to slice. Nian Tian was having full use of him. Otherwise, she was the one to chop onions knowing well that she did not cry when chopping them. Yup, she was a lucky one. She did not have the itching effect of onion.

"Ah." Mu Yuehan cried when he accidentally cut his finger while chopping.

He expectedly looked at Nian Tian, waiting for her to show some worry for him. For her to suck his finger like in all those drama's his sister watched. But nothing like this happened.

"So, clumsy. You can't cut potatoes without cutting your finger."

"Heartless women." Mu Yuehan murmured under his breath and placed his finger under the water.

Nian Tian passed him the banded and asked him to do the task at hand. He angrily glared at her and continued cutting the potatoes.

Once he was done with cutting, without giving him a chance to rest, Nian Tian passed him the uniform of her restaurant and asked him to serve the customers which he did with a smile on his lips.

"He is so dedicated to you. You troubled him from the morning but still, he is treating your customers with a smile on his lips." Marta commented and opened a small window from which Nian Tian could see what was happening in the restaurant from her kitchen.

She noticed how Mu Yuehan was serving customers with his usual charming smile. A smile also broke on her face.

"He likes you. It's written all over his face."

"If he likes me then he has to face some challenges. I am not an easy person to be wooed."

Marta shook her head. "I am sure, he will do anything to make you his."
