Chapter 68 You Are My Student, So You Will Not Fail.

"Now tell me about your family?" Nian Tian asked once she finished her sandwich and a glass of strawberry shake.

"I have a brother, a sister and a loving parent." Mu Yuehan replied nonchalantly, not lying about his family.

"I must have met your mom, right? When we were kids, I mean. Have you told her about me? Does she know me?" she fired questions one after another.

"My birth mother died, a few years back." He said in a sad voice.

"Oh, my mother died too." She replied sadly. Before she could get lost in the thoughts of her mother, Mu Yuehan spoke, "my father remarried and I love my stepmother equally. I am sure, you will like them. Also, my siblings."

"Are they also like you?"

"Somewhat." He replied, playing with his fork.

"How do you know Mu Yuehan?" Nian Tian asked. She did not want to let this chance go. She wanted to know more about Mu Yuehan. "By the way, I must praise him, he was so quick. I mean, I talked with grandpa within five minutes of your call to him."

Mu Yuehan smiled at her praise. Again, he wished to tell her about his identity. To test the waters, he asked, "Do you like him? Will you prefer to be with a man like him?"

"Nah." Nian Tian immediately denied, unaware of the changing expressions on the face of the man opposite to her. "I don't prefer a rich man, not anymore. I want a man like you. The one who is a normal employee and can give me a simple life."

Mu Yuehan stiffly nodded his head. One thing was sure, today was not the time to tell her about his identity.

If only he knew, that today was the best time, otherwise, it would be very late.

"Now, tell me about your boss. How do you know him?"

"We met in the second standard. My father was his father's loyal employee, you can say right hand. We were also classmates. Soon we clicked and here we are, best friends." He told from the view of Zhan Wei.

"If you are best friends then why are you working with him? Why does he not help you start your own business?" she pouted and Mu Yuehan smiled. "Is he using your friendship to make you his loyal worker?"

"It's nothing like that. I know I can progress higher only if I stay by his side. I am his right hand after all. He can do anything for me. Take my words, when he will take over the empire, he will promote me to a higher post."

Nian Tian nodded her head and asked him many other questions before it was the turn of Mu Yuehan to ask questions.

"Tell me, why don't you want to go to Shanghai? If you miss your grandpa, why don't you visit him?"

Nian Tian looked down at her fingers and played with them. Mu Yuehan placed his hands over hers.

"You know, I was kind of villain in my cousin's life. Now, I am afraid, she will have her revenge on me. She will not let me live in peace." She sighed. "Somewhere, I am also embarrassed with what I did. It was not what my mother taught me. I am also guilty."

"I don't have the guts to become the butt of the joke of society. Who knows what they gossip about me? They all hated me. I am sure they will kill me with their cruel mocking once I get back." She humourlessly chuckled. "What a big fool I was."

She shook her head to shoo away the bad memories which she did not wish to remember.

"Besides, I am happy now. I am happy to be here on Juju island. This island has given me new hopes and a new identity. I also met you here." She teased and gripped his hand. They both smiled at one another.

"Zhan Wei, can you do something for me?" she asked after some time.

"I can do anything for you."

"Can you get this painting delivered to my grandpa?" Nervously, she passed a painting to him. "I always wanted to gift this to him."

She chewed on her lips and looked at him with nervousness.

"Sure." He smiled. "Now stop chewing your lips. You don't know what effect they have on me."

She immediately freed her lips and he chuckled. "Can I see the painting?"

She nodded. He unrolled the painting and was amazed to see it. She drew a scene where she was getting her graduation degree and her grandpa was looking at her with a wide smile. Each detail was vividly drawn.

"Amazing, you are simply amazing." He praised her. "I will like to be your model one day."

"Anytime you want."

Mu Yuehan rolled the painting and promised, "I will get it delivered."

Nian Tian smiled and again hugged him. "Now go and study. Don't you have your first exam on the day after tomorrow?"

Nian Tian nodded her head and busied herself with her studies while Mu Yuehan walked out of her apartment and called his guard, to get the painting delivered.

"Oh my god, I am feeling so nervous, Zhan Wei. What if I failed?"

,m Today was the first exam of Nian Tian and she was getting all nervous. At three in the morning, she knocked on the door of Mu Yuehan's apartment and from then on, he was watching her freaking out without any reason.

"You will not fail." He repeated for the hundredth time and placed a spoon full of porridge in front of her mouth. She took the spoon in her mouth and finished its content. He placed another spoon in front of her mouth as if feeding a kid.

"I am your teacher and I know my skills; you will not fail. Now relax."

Like a mother, he fed Nian Tian and then led her out of her apartment. Her bag with essentials hung on his shoulder.

"Are you coming with me?" she asked.

"Of course, looking at your condition, I am afraid if I don't follow you, instead of reaching the university, you will be roaming in the other party of the city." He teased.

"Hey."

"What hey? Look at you. From the morning, you are acting half insane. You do not know what you are doing. What if you took the wrong bus?" he pointed out. "Let's go now, you don't want to be late."

Mu Yuehan took her hand and pulled her to his car.

They arrived near the seaport from where they caught a ferry which took them to the city.
