Chapter 164 I Don’t Agree.

Zhou Yonge was studying the monthly financial statements of different branches of Zhou corporations when his butler knocked on his office door. On getting the needed permission, he entered in.

"Sir, Mister Mu Yuehan from Mu corporations is here to meet you. Should I allow him in our property?" the butler asked politely.

Zhou Yonge raised his brows. He removed his glasses and placed them aside. "You sure, he is Mu Yuehan?"

"Yes sir, guards have checked his identity."

Zhou Yonge nodded his head. "Let him in. Take him here in my office. Also, arrange for some snacks for him."

"Yes sir." Butler bowed and left the study of Zhou Yonge. He called the guards and asked them to let Mu Yuehan inside.

When the gates of Zhou mansion were opened, Li Tao drove the car inside. He looked at his boss from the rear-view mirror and saw him whistling carelessly.

Li Tao parked the car in front of the Zhou mansion. Immediately, guards of Zhou Yonge came rushing toward the car and opened the door for Mu Yuehan.

Mu Yuehan stepped out from the car. He shrugged his coat and followed after the butler to the office of Zhou Yonge.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yonge shut down his laptop and placed his notes in the drawer of his study table.

With a knock on the door, Mu Yuehan entered in.

"What good have I done that the great Mu Yuehan has arrived at my place?" Zhou Yonge asked quite unprofessionally and shook his hand with Mu Yuehan. He then directed Mu Yuehan toward the sofa set placed in his office.

"Can I not visit uncle Zhou?" Mu Yuehan looked at Zhou Yonge with a sly smile and leaned on his sofa.

When Mu Yuehan was eight years old, Mu Jichen shifted to London with his family. That time, he got close to Zhou Yonge. They had close relationship and that was why, Mu Yuehan called Zhou Yonge, uncle.

Also, Zhou Yonge visited Mu Jichen till fours years back, before Mu Jichen shifted to the Himalayas.

"Cut the uncle bullshit." Zhou Yonge chuckled. "I am sure, the reason for your arrival has something to do with the shift of Zhou corporations in Shanghai. If you are here, asking me to go back, then I must tell you, Zhou corporations is not going back."

Zhou Yonge made his point clear and Mu Yuehan chuckled.

"I am not here for that reason, instead I want to talk about Zhou Liying." Mu Yuehan came to the point. He sat straight and looked at Zhou Yonge with serious expressions.

"Liying? What about her?" Zhou Yonge raised his right brow, feeling curious to know what was Mu Yuehan doing here.

"I love Zhou Liying and I want to marry her." Mu Yuehan declared.

Zhou Yonge laughed. "Is this a joke?" he stopped laughing when he saw the serious expressions on the face of Mu Yuehan. "Stop playing with me, tell me what are your real motives?"

"I have cleared my motives; I want to marry Zhou Liying." Mu Yuehan again stated in a clear voice, full of resolve.

"Mu Yuehan, are love and marriage a joke for you?" Zhou Yonge angrily banged on his table. "How can you love her when it's hardly been three weeks that she is back? You haven't even met her."

"I have met her. In fact, from the last three weeks, I am staying with her as her guard."

"You are Hanhan. Aren't you?" Zhou Yonge looked at him with shock filled eyes.

Zhou Yonge knew about the presence of this man HanHan in the life of Zhou Liying and all thanks to Zhou Bingbing who could not keep her mouth shut.

"Bingo. Not only I know her as Zhou Liying but I know her from four years back. Although, she has forgotten about me with her memories."

Mu Yuehan took a long deep breath and looked at Zhou Yonge with sadness in his eyes. True love for Zhou Liying was visible in his eyes.

Zhou Yonge looked at him with surprise. He was aware that Zhou Liying believed that she knew a man in those two years, but he did not imagine that the man was Mu Yuehan.

"I was searching for her from the last four years and now, that she is back, I don't want to waste any time in marrying her."

Zhou Yonge looked at Mu Yuehan with a conflicted expression on his face.

"Look Mu Yuehan, I know that you love her. But don't you think you will put her life in danger by marrying her?" Zhou Yonge looked at him with concern. "I have worked with your dad and I know about the dangerous dealings of Mu corporations. I don't want Liying to be targeted because of you."

"You don't have to worry about my enemy's, uncle. I know how to protect her. Besides, we should not forget that she already has a lot of enemies. She was attacked not three days back." Mu Yuehan pointed out.

Zhou Yonge sighed, well aware of the attack. "And that's why I am concerned. Look, I love Zhou Liying as my daughter and I am scared for her life. She already has so many enemies. I don't want to add in the number of your enemies after her life."

"Uncle look," Mu Yuehan took a hold of the hands of Zhou Yonge. "I love her more than anything. And more that you, I am worried for her. Trust me, I will do anything to keep her safe and protected. I know what I am doing."

"If I was doubting that being in my presence could be dangerous for her then I would have never asked for her hand in marriage from you." Mu Yuehan spoke in a soft voice, trying to put forth his point.

He could marry Zhou Liying without any permission, but he wanted to have the permission. After all, one day or another, he was the one who was going to help him out.

"Look, Mu Yuehan, I can't say my yes to you marrying Liying." Zhou Yonge gave his final verdict. His voice held no opening for any negotiation.
