Chapter 219 Gift And Date.
Zhou Yonge hugged Zhou Liying tight in his arms, giving her the much-needed comfort. She inhaled his familiar fragrance and sighed. Many times, she had imagined this hug to be her father's hug. Many times, she thought, would her father's hug have had felt like this?
Zhou Liying broke the hug and looked around in the hospital room. She frowned. "What happened?"
"Don't you remember? You got stuck in the elevator."
"Oh." Zhou Liying nodded and remembered how she got stuck in the elevator because of power failure. She also remembered having a panic attack. But after that, everything was blank.
"Who saved me?" she asked the question which came in her mind.
"Mu Yuehan saved you." Zhou Yonge pointed toward Mu Yuehan.
Mu Yuehan was sitting beside Zhou Liying, eagerly waiting for her to look at him. He was also eager to know how she was doing, his eagerness was clear on his face.
"I will go and tell the doctor that you are up." Zhou Yonge made an excuse. He wanted to give some private time to Zhou Liying and Mu Yuehan. He knew Mu Yuehan wished for it.
'Can he not call the doctor by pressing the button?' Zhou Liying frowned.
She turned her face and looked at Mu Yuehan. His face brightened up when he finally got her attention. "How did you know that I was stuck in an elevator? Was that one of your stunts to impress me?" she narrowed her eyes at him.
"No ways." He dramatically widened his eyes when he heard her accusation. "I have many tricks up my sleeve to impress you. But trust me, none of them includes harming you. I knew that you got stuck in the elevator because you informed me over a call. I guess you don't remember it."
To make her believe in his reasons, he pulled out his phone from his pocket. He showed her his call records.
Somewhere, Mu Yuehan felt hurt upon seeing how she had accused him of her accident. He knew he was the reason for her distrust. After all, he had pulled the biggest stunt on her, by getting married to her in Vegas.
"Why were you not picking up my call? You see I have called you quite many a times?" Zhou Liying returned him his phone.
She looked at him with sharp eyes. Hidden anger and possessiveness could be seen in the depth of her eyes.
"Why? Were you worried for me when I did not answer your call?" he teased.
"Worried?" she scoffed. "Why will I worry for you? Keep dreaming. I called you only to yell at you for giving me a car. There was no need for that."
"Why was there no need for that? If Bugatti has released the couple car, should we as spouses not held one?" he smirked when he saw his favourite expression on her face, and that was anger and irritation. She was fuming at him and he liked it.
"Now do not start with, I do not want the car, blah, blah, blah. I have given it to you and now it's yours." He smirked. "By the way, I got your cruise."
"Oh, you got it. That is my return to you, for giving me earrings and now the car." Zhou Liying spoke emotionlessly.
They stayed silent for some time. Mu Yuehan broke the silence. He did not want to waste his time with Zhou Liying without having a chit-chat with her.
"Zhou Liying, now you believe that I have saved you?" he asked sulkily.
"Yes, you saved me. Thank you for that. Do you want me to give some gift to you for saving my life?" She rolled her eyes.
"Yes, I do need a gift. I want you to say yes to come on a date with me." He grinned.
Zhou Liying humourlessly laughed when she heard me. "Are you nuts, do you think I will go on a date with you because you saved me? I still remember how you deceived me last time."
"I am not nuts and I think, I deserve a date. I promise, this time it will be a simple date. A date where we will chit-chat, trying to know about each other. If you want, there will not be any drink, so no question of getting drunk." He proposed.
Going on a date was a random idea. He wanted to spend some cozy time with her at the name of a date. At the same time, he wanted to tell her about himself. His faiths and his love for her. Maybe, hearing him and after spending some intimate time with him, she would give him a chance?
"Come on, go on a d…." he was intruded when Zhou Yonge entered in the room with the doctor.
Mu Yuehan walked away from the chair and let the doctor do his work. "Her vitals are all good. I will ask someone to get her discharge papers ready."
"Thank you, doctor." Zhou Liying said to the doctor. She was thankful for getting discharged without any delay. She hated her time in hospital.
"Uncle," Mu Yuehan spoke once the doctor was gone. "I have saved her. So, don't you think Zhou Liying should fulfil my wish by going on a date with me?"
Both Zhou Liying and Mu Yuehan looked at Zhou Yonge with pleading expressions. One pleading him to say no and another, to say yes.
He looked at both of them. He took a deep sigh. He took his seat beside Zhou Liying, "Liying, when you were unconscious, Mu Yuehan and I talked. We talked about your wedding and how this man loves you. I think you should give him a chance. Maybe he is the one for you."
"Uncle, I…."
He interrupted her. "I know about your life. Do you think your parents will be happy upon seeing this life of yours, where you are trying to act all will-headed? Acting as if you are strong even when you need a shoulder? Say yes to go on a date with him, if you treat me as your father."
Zhou Liying huffed when Zhou Yonge blackmailed her. She treated him as her father. So, she could not deny him.
"Ok, I will go on a date. But I have a condition...." she smirked slyly and looked at the excitement-filled face of Mu Yuehan.
