Mu Yuehan came out from the frozen state after a full five minutes. He placed his fingers on his cheek which was still wet because of her kiss. A small smile appeared on his lips. "Is it true?"
He then banged on the apartment door of Nian Tian. "Hey, can you repeat it? I think I heard wrong." There were clear surprise and excitement in his voice.
Nian Tian was leaning against the door and smiling brightly. She had not smiled like this for god knew how long. Her heart was fluttering fast and her knees were like jelly. Her breathing was ragged and her eyes were filled with pure bliss.
"You did not hear wrong. I accept you." She whispered, still Mu Yuehan heard her, and the next second, she heard his loud hoot of excitement.
He jumped and threw a fist in the air in victory. It was a big success for him. A very big success!
He returned to his apartment and started to roam around here and there, from his room to the apartment door to the kitchen to the balcony. He was feeling energetic. His heart was racing and his mind was running in all directions with excitement.
Once tired, he fell onto the bed. The smile was not taking the place of leaving his lips.
"Calm down, I don't want to die of a heart attack. We still are to spend our life with TianTian." He patted his heart and took a long deep breath.
'By the way, isn't our girl super daring? She is always the first one to kiss us. Ah." He again placed his hand over his cheeks and blushed like a teenage girl.
On another side, Nian Tian too could not fall asleep. She placed her finger on her lips and imagined the way she felt shock waves when she kissed Mu Yuehan.
She knew it was daring of her but she wanted to be daring for him. Was she not like this before the betrayal of Fan Yifeng?
"I don't know how to face Zhan Wei tomorrow." She covered her face with her hands out of shyness.

Mu Yuehan was walking back and forth, in the corridor, in front of their apartments from early in the morning, waiting for Nian Tian to come out.
He looked at the door of her apartment from time to time, waiting for her to come out. He was feeling desperate.
He heard a click sound and rushed toward the door of her apartment. He stood in front of her door with anticipation and nervousness on his face.
Nain Tian closed the door and looked at him with bashfulness. She leaned against the door, waiting for him to speak something.
"Can we talk about…ahem…last night?" he cleared his throat and looked at her, with a lowered gaze. His cheeks and neck were all red because of shyness "Are you ready to give me a chance?"
He looked at her with a hopeful expression. He wanted to confirm that what happened last night was not a dream but a beautiful reality.
"Em…. yes." She replied with a small smile. "I am ready. First, we can try to know each other and then, we can take our relationship a little further. What do you think?" She bounced against the door in nervousness.
"I am ready for anything or everything. We will go as per your say." He happily wrapped his arm around her shoulder. She hesitantly removed it. "No kisses or hugs please, at least not for now."
"Then what was that last night?" He raised his brow, placed a finger on his cheeks and looked at her with an accusing gaze.
"A gift for staying with me for so long." She shrugged innocently, ducked him, and made her way toward the elevator. "Stop standing there like a fool. We are getting late for the restaurant."
He looked at her teasing expressions. He smiled. He shook his head and followed after her.
"I hope, I can hold your hands." He asked. Instead of answering him, Nian Tian intertwined their hands together. Their hand were fitting into each other perfectly. They both looked down at their hands and smiled softly.
"Zhan Wei, before starting our relationship, I want to tell you something. Something from my past." Nian Tian took a deep breath and looked at him.
"No need, as I have said before, I don't care about your past." He raised their intertwined hands and kissed hers.
"No, I want to tell you. I don't want to hide anything from you." There was desperation in her voice. The heart of Mu Yuehan squeezed. Was he too not hiding his real identity from her? Should he tell her about his true identity?
'Let us wait for some time. What if she does not want to be with me anymore after knowing I am the son of a rich man?'
"My real name is not Nian Tian, but Qin Tian." She informed. Mu Yuehan smiled.
"I know that."
"How?" she asked with surprise. He chuckled.
"You forget, on our first meeting, didn't I tell you that we were kindergarten classmates?" He lopsidedly smiled.
"Oh. Its fate, I guess."
? "It's destiny."
He gently knocked on her head. He then unlocked his phone and searched for a photo. He gave his phone to her.
"It's our photo from kindergarten. Here is you and here is me."
Mu Yuehan had gotten a photo from his father's secretary and today, he felt delighted to share it with her.
"I am sorry, I don't remember anything." She pursed her lips together.
"No worries. I too do not remember much from that time. Now, we will make new memories together."
"I am not so good as you think." She removed her hand from his. "You are from Shanghai, aren't you? You must know about the happenings in Qin and Fan family from two years back?"
"I don't know. I was in the states at that time." He tried to hold her hand but she pushed it away.
"I tried to steal my cousin's love out of jealousy and revenge. I did everything to come in between them. I am not good. Back in Shanghai, people call me a mistress, a gold digger, a slut and whatnot. Not only that, I was a socialist, I crumbled many females under my feet, for my own delight." There was pain and guilt in her voice. It was coming directly from her heart.
"I don't care, what you did. I am sure you have your reasons. Your cousin must be bad that you tried to snatch her boyfriend from her. What I care is that now you are my girl." He gave her a stern look.
Nian Tian smiled, feeling as if a heavy burden was lifted from her shoulders. He smiled back. "Let's go."
He again intertwined his hand with hers and together, they made their way toward her restaurant.
