Zhou Liying again thought about the time the photo of their wedding certificate was taken. She slapped herself for her foolishness.
The photo was taken on last Saturday, the day of the drinking challenge.
After Zhou Liying got drunk after drinking vodka, and when she became completely unconscious after dancing for long, before she had vomited in the car of Mu Yuehan, he had sneakily taken her to the civil bureau.
It was closed in the dark of the night, no doubt, but he too was Mu Yuehan. Using his connections, he had called for the members of the bureau. They had to arrive at his summon and had to make a quick wedding certificate for Mu Yuehan and Zhou Liying, without even caring that Zhou Liying was drunk.
Zhou Yonge was also called. He was surprised when he saw the condition of Zhou Liying but he knew her for the last four years so he controlled his surprise. He acted as the witness for Zhou Liying, making the work of Mu Yuehan very easy.
Zhou Liying too was very cooperative at that time, all because of her drunken state. Hence the photos were taken, their signatures were taken, any testimony needed was also taken and they were declared husband and wife, as per Chinese law too.
"We are here." Mu Yuehan spoke in a sing-song manner and smiled at Zhou Liying.
He knew her each nerve very well. So obviously he knew where she was lost. He knew she was thinking about the certificate.
He knew that he had again cheated on her but what was he to do? He knew she would not agree to go to the civil bureau when conscious so he decided the time to get their marriage certificate. He too was forced, forced because of his love for her.
Zhou Liying shook her head and came back to the present. She let the by gone be by gone. She could not do anything about her mistake now. She could only regret and now regret word was not in her dictionary.
"Now I have to be more aware of him. He is not easy to fool. He is quite sharp and he knows what he is doing." She thought to herself and decided to enjoy tonight.

"What place is this?"
Zhou Liying looked around at the vast ground full of many colourful hot air balloons. She felt intrigued by looking at them, also confused at the same time.
What were so many hot air balloons doing on the outskirt of the city?
"Starting tomorrow is the hot air balloon week. This ground has been hosting balloon week every year, for the last five years." Mu Yuehan answered. "Tonight this place is going to be the place of our date."
Zhou Liying nodded. Mu Yuehan gave his hand to her, which she accepted without fighting him much.
They walked on the ground, in-between many balloons. Zhou Liying was looking at them with excitement. It was her first time looking at them. She always wished to fly in one, especially on a night like today when the sky was full of stars and the moon was full and was shining bright.
She was lost in her thoughts and was feeling peace when her peaceful moment was broken because of Mu Yuehan. He could no longer control himself from striking up a conversation with her.
Sure, he was enjoying the calm on her face, but he had enjoyed it enough. Now he wanted to have a healthy talk with her.
"What is your favourite place for a holiday?"
Zhou Liying knew that if she said a word, then Mu Yuehan would bother her again and her calm would be fully gone. So, she did not say a word, nor she answered him, nor rebuked him like always. f reewe bnovel
"Come on, this date is to get to know each other. Please don't waste our precious time by standing mum. If you want, you can ask me the first question."
Zhou Liying looked at him and then spoke, "Tell me your monthly income, and income of Mu Corporation. Swear about the same."
Zhou Liying knew he would not tell her his income, after all, no one would, especially when they have to swear. That was why she had asked about the same.
But to her utter surprise, Mu Yuehan replied to her question. He told her in detail about his income and the true earnings of Mu Corporation, leaving Zhou Liying in shock.
"How can…..?" her words got caught in her throat.
She would never share her income with anyone, not even with Zhou Bingbing who was closest to her, but here he was. freewebn(o)vel.com
"Don't forget, you are my wife. You have full rights to know my income. After all, at the end of the day, it is all yours, what I am earning is all yours. You have full right to know every single detail about me."
And for the first time in a long, Zhou Liying let go of her ignorance, and with a fast-beating heart, she realised that she was falling for this man, correction actually, she had already fallen hard for this man.
And for the first time, she felt that this man was never going to leave her, he was going to stay with her for forever.
