Chapter 174 Rose Day.

The next day, like usual, in the morning, Zhou Liying again missed the presence of Mu Yuehan. She was unable to believe that he was able to leave an imprint of his presence in her heart within a few days.

"Miss, there is a delivery for you. Should I go and receive it from the first desk?" Min Yue called and asked Zhou Liying.

Zhou Liying frowned when she heard Min Yue. "Get it."

'Who has sent a delivery for me, at this place?'

After five minutes, Min Yue rang the bell of her penthouse and entered in. She passed her the delivery. Min Yue was blushing when doing so.

Zhou Liying narrowed her eyes and accepted the gift, only for her eyes to went wide in shock.

'Sweetheart, today is rose day. So, a rose for you.

She gritted her teeth and randomly threw the gift aside. She then looked at Min Yue, "get ready. We are leaving in five minutes."

She closed the door and made her way to the kitchen, again feeling conflicted as to what to do with the gift. She was feeling angry that he sent her a gift when she asked him to stay away from her. But on the other hand, she was feeling warm that he sent a gift to her.

Argh!! she groaned out aloud and excited the kitchen. She made her way toward the living room and picked up the box.

She removed the note, followed by the wrapping paper. She opened the box and a gasp left her lips when she saw an eternity rose in the box. She could say, it was made of red gold. There were diamonds engraved in it which were real.

'Beautiful.' She murmured to herself and delicately picked up the rose. Her eyes became soft.

'Is he promising me that he will stay with me for eternity?'

Her eyes shined and she looked at the rose, forgetting about her curiosity as to how he got so much money to spend on her.

She looked at the rose to her delight before placing it back in the box. She clutched the box close to her heart. She felt her heart beating fast like crazy.

With an enchanting smile on her lips, she made her way toward her walk-in closet. She opened the secret door in her closet and entered in. She opened the hidden locker and placed the rose inside, among the items she treasured the most.

"Thank you for this, Hanhan. But I don't know if I will ever be strong enough to fall for you or not."

She closed the locker and stepped back. She heaved a sigh and turned back, away from the eternity rose.

Zhou Liying was checking the presentation sent to her by the sales department when Min Yue entered her office. She forwarded her, her phone.

"Miss, HanHan is calling. He wanted to talk with you."

Zhou Liying narrowed her eyes but still, she accepted the phone. She placed it on her ear. "Yes?"

"Lili." Mu Yuehan grinned widely when he heard the voice of Zhou Liying.

He directly wanted to call Zhou Liying on her number but then he remembered, that he had never exchanged his number with her. He only had exchanged his number with Min Yue.

Although, he had already gotten the number of Zhou Liying but he did not want to come out as doubtful by directly calling her.

"Why are you calling me Lili? I was your boss, not your girlfriend." She stated in a clear, crisp voice.

"And soon you will be my wife. So, shouldn't I call you Lili?" Zhou Liying clutched the phone tight in her fist because her heart quivered when she heard Lili in his soft, tender and love-filled voice.

"By the way, did you like my gift? It is a promise that I will always stay together with you." Mu Yuehan smiled over the phone and twirled on his chair, feeling like a teenager who was going to celebrate his first valentine's week.

"Gift?" Zhou Liying faked ignorance. "Oh yes, you have sent that gift. I guess, I threw it away because I don't accept gifts from strangers."

"Stranger?" he mocked. "We are more than strangers, sweetie. I not only know you but I also know the map of your body with very much clarity." He spoke huskily.

Zhou Liying felt her stomach clench with his dirty talk. Her blood rushed downward and she felt ticklish there. Her heart hammered in her chest.

"And why do I think, you had clenched my gift close to your heart like the most treasured gift?" he teased, catching Zhou Liying with surprise. She was shocked that he knew her real reaction.

It was not hard for Mu Yuehan to guess her reaction. It was the same in the past, and it was still the same in the present, and her silence was the giveaway.

"Dream on." Zhou Liying replied after a pause of two minutes. "Why will I treasure a gift sent by you? I don't even know what it was."

Mu Yuehan chuckled at her reply. "You can lie to yourself but I know you, sweetie. I know you."

"I am not lying. I don't lie." She gritted her teeth, feeling embarrassed that he knew her so well. She never let anyone know her emotions with ease and here he was, already knowing her in and out.

Mu Yuehan laughed when he heard her angry voice. "Okay, I believe you. Now tell me, what do you want to have for lunch? Should we go out on a date or…"

"No need." Zhou Liying yelled and ended the call. On the other side, Mu Yuehan laughed loudly, clearly enjoying this small phone call with her.

Zhou Liying called Min Yue and passed her the phone. She then glared at her, "never give me a phone with his call. He and I are no one. Now leave."

Min Yue left, leaving a frustrated Zhou Liying behind. She was thinking of her call with him and his teasing laugh, the way he called her Lili, the way he knew everything about her.

And all this was making her inside a big mess.
