Mu Yuehan looked at Nian Tian and smiled. He then looked at Marry walking toward him. He then saw how her foot twisted and she was about to fall.
Instead of helping her, he took a step back. He did not want to make any of his body parts dirty by holding her in his arms.
"Oomph." Marry fell on her hips and groaned loudly. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Mu Yuehan. He was standing there with no sympathy or worry for her.
Nian Tian and Mu Yuehan walked toward her and kneeled beside her. Mu Yuehan maintained his distance from her.
"Are you alright?" Nian Tian asked with concern but Marry was looking at Mu Yuehan. "Why didn't you save me?"
"I am sorry, I am already taken. I won't touch another female." He looked at her with an innocent expression. "Nian Tian, can you help her up?"
Nian Tian helped her on the nearby chair, trying her best to control her smile at the reply from Mu Yuehan. Marry groaned in pain. She was throwing daggers at Nian Tian and then at Mu Yuehan. "My foot, it's hurting so much."
"Let me see it." Nian Tian scoped down, and Mu Yuehan followed after her.
"I hope you are satisfied." He whispered in her ears. "I am sure, you'd have split my throat if I had saved her."
She looked at him with a sly smile. "I can't trust her. Who knows if she knowingly fell in your direction?"
Marry looked at them whispering and fumed. Not only she was in pain, but her plan was also a super flop and now, they were whispering to each other like love birds.
"Oh my god, what happened?" Marta arrived at the scene and looked at her daughter.
"She fell."
"Let me look at her."
Soon a doctor was called, and he checked on the foot of Marry. Then, she was sent to her home which was on the next street.

Love was blooming in the air, in between Mu Yuehan and Nian Tian. They were getting close to each other day by day. Nian Tian was tackling her studies and kitchen sometimes while Mu Yuehan was handling his office work, her kitchen, and her studies at the same time.
"How to solve this?" Nian Tian passed her book to him.
Mu Yuehan placed aside his laptop and gave priority to her work. Nian Tian smiled.
'He knows how to give preference to his girl over his work. He is such a perfect husband material. How do I become so lucky?'
He spent all his time in the restaurant. Whenever he was absent, he ensured to give enough assignments to Nian Tian so she would not miss him.
He was like the real owner of the restaurant; Cooking, cleaning the shop and also talking with some of the customers.
He also looked after Nian Tian, serving her meals from time to time, and looking after her health.
"What are doing here?" Mu Yuehan rebuked when he saw Nian Tian in the kitchen.
"I was bored doing study, study and study. I need to cook something. Otherwise, I will go mad. It's my energy booster." She innocently blinked, trying her best to pursue him.
"Alright, you can help me." And at the same time, Marry chimed, "He doesn't like it when someone is in the kitchen when he cooks."
"No worries, she can help me." He looked at Marry with a frown and then at Nian Tian.
Marry wanted to comment something but she kept her remarks to herself. Instead, she politely approached Nian Tian, "can I watch you cook? I want to take some tips from you."
"Are you not done with your friendly drama?" Nian Tian ridiculed.
"I have told you. I am not acting." She rebuked.
"Okay then." She rolled her eyes and let Marry watch her.
They were working when one of the pieces of the grinding machine broke down, and Nian Tian became hyper. She quickly called the repairer but he was not on juju island. He was the only one who could repair the said machine.
"Let me repair it." Mu Yuehan suggested.
"Are you an engineer? How can you repair it?" She looked at him with irritation.
"I can at least open it. I have done the same back home. So, chill."
Mu Yuehan opened the machine and rolled his eyes when he saw a small defect. As expected, this delicate machine broke down because of overworking. He pressed a button inside the machine and started to close it again.
He was nearly done when he accidentally cut his figure because all his attention was on Nian Tian. She was looking at him with concern.
"I told you. You shouldn't repair it, now look." She complained and was about to take his bleeding finger in her hand when Marry beat her to it.
She took his bleeding finger. "I have heard, that sucking your finger will stop the blood flow."
She was about to take his finger in her mouth when he snatched his hand back. With a dreamy gaze, he forwarded his finger in front of the lips of Nian Tian.
"I have heard, that sucking my finger will stop the blood flow."
Nian Tian smiled and gazed at Marry. She took his finger in her mouth and lightly sucked on it.
He felt an electric jolt in his body and his body stiffened. Blood rushed in his neither region and he gulped hard. Many dirty thoughts raided his mind.
She released his finger and tied a bandage on it. He immediately missed the feeling of his finger in her mouth, her warm mouth.
"Stop looking at me like this." Nian Tian gently slapped his face with a shy smile on her lips.
Marry fumed and looked at the scene. She decided it was finally the time to execute her plan.

The next day, when Mu Yuehan and Nian Tian arrived at the restaurant, Marry walked toward them with a cake in her hand.
"Nian Tian, I want to start our friendship with this mango cake. I have baked it, especially for you. Mom told me, you like Mangoes. I hope you will like the cake."
She passed the cake in front of her. Nian Tian narrowed her eyes.
"Have you taken me as a fool? For your kind information, I grew up with two cousins and they hated me. They tried to kill me all the time and who knows if you are trying to do the same. What if this cake is poisoned or something?"
Marry pursed her lips in a sad smile. "I should have known; you will doubt me. Here let me check it for your satisfaction."
Marry cut the cake and took a bit of it. Still, Nian Tian looked at her with suspicious eyes.
