The next day, when Zhou Liying opened the door of her penthouse, expecting the next gift from Mu Yuehan, she was surprised to see a big box with Min Yue.
"What is this?" Zhou Liying gasped and looked at Min Yue for an explanation.
"Your gift. It arrived early in the morning as usual." Min Yue informed and asked the guards to push the box inside the penthouse of Zhou Liying.
All this while, Zhou Liying was looking at a nearly six feet tall box without any blink of their eyes. She was curious to know what this box held. Min Yue was also looking at the box with curiosity.
Zhou Liying thanked the guards and sent them off. Once they were gone, she removed the ribbon from the box and pulled it over. The flaps around the box fell apart and in front of her stood an artificial tree, just like a Christmas tree.
As for the decorations, the tree was decorated with differently wrapped chocolates.
'Happy chocolate day.' Zhou Liying read on the small card hanging from the tree. She looked around at the tree and noticed that there were at least hundreds of chocolates hanging around it.
"So innovative." Min Yue squealed excitedly and looked at the tree.
Zhou Liying rolled her eyes and unhooked a piece of chocolate. She unwrapped it and placed the chocolate in her mouth. She stiffened when she tasted her favourite chocolate.
'How does he know about my favourite chocolate?' She gasped in surprise and looked at the tree with wide eyes. She stumbled back in shock, trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together.
"Miss, are you alright?" Min Yue asked with concern.
"I am." Zhou Liying sighed and blinked her eyes multiple times. She shook her head, trying to shoo away the weight from her heart.
Min Yue rushed to the kitchen and returned with a glass of water for Zhou Liying. Zhou Liying accepted the glass and gulp it down its content in one sip, feeling a little calmer and composed.
"Let's go."
Min Yue nodded and then eyed the chocolate tree. "If you don't mind, can I have a piece of chocolate?"
"Go ahead."
Min Yue grinned and took a piece of chocolate. Without wasting any time, she unwrapped it and placed it in her mouth. She groaned the next second, "Yuck, who likes such dark chocolate? Doesn't HanHan know girls like sweet chocolate?"
Something hit Zhou Liying when she heard Min Yue. Not many people liked dark chocolate then why did he send her dark chocolates, especially in perfect flavour?

"Hanhan is over the call. Do you want to talk with him?" Min Yue asked Zhou Liying with a conflicted expression on her face.
Zhou Liying looked at her assistant for some seconds before accepting her phone. She wanted to know how he knew her favourite chocolate.
"Hello."
"Lili," she heard his excitement-filled sequel from the other side. "Did you like the proposal and those chocolates?"
Mu Yuehan asked with so much hope in his voice. Yesterday, he had sent balloons and cake for her, to propose to her, just like the way he tried to propose to her as his girl back on Juju island. He expected that she may remember something after looking at them.
"Was that a proposal? It was so cheap." She spoke arrogantly. "That's why I don't wish to marry you. I don't think you can stand up to my high-class demands and expectations."
Mu Yuehan grinned like a celestial kitten when he heard her, 'If only you know love.'
"Now tell me, how do you know about my favourite chocolate, the type of chocolate I like?" she glared at her laptop, imagining it to be Mu Yuehan.
"Favourite?" he feigned ignorance. "Is this your favourite type of chocolate? Wow, it's destiny then. I too like this chocolate. I didn't know what kind of chocolate you liked so I sent my favourite chocolates. Our choices are so alike."
"Do you like dark chocolate?" Zhou Liying asked with surprise and doubt in her voice.
"Why not? I like dark chocolates with crackles and nuts. I am glad that you too like the same."
"Okay."
"Tell me…." Before Mu Yuehan could say another word, Zhou Liying ended the call.
She only wanted to know how he knew her favourite chocolate. So, when her work was done then why waste more time talking to him?
Mu Yuehan chuckled when she ended the call. He looked at his phone screen and soon his happiness turned into gloominess. He felt sad that she did not remember anything about him after seeing the setup of the proposal, or she did not remember how he knew her favourite chocolate.
'Don't worry Mu Yuehan. Soon, she will remember you and will love you like in the past.' He consoled himself and was again off to his work, which was planning what he was going to gift to her on teddy day.

The next day, just like yesterday, Min Yue knocked on the door of Zhou Liying's penthouse with a big box, a little larger than yesterday.
Guards pushed the heavy box inside. They gasped for breath. "This time the gift is extremely heavy." The guards informed. "Can we have a glass of water?"
Zhou Liying nodded and ordered Min Yue. Min Yue ran to the kitchen and quickly came with two glasses of water. She was eager to send off the guards so Zhou Liying would unwrap the gift. She was eager to see what was in today's gift.
Once the guards were gone, like yesterday, Zhou Liying pulled the ribbon and the flaps of the box fell apart. With wide eyes, both ladies looked at the red-coloured giant teddy inside the box.
"This teddy is so huge." Min Yue commented. "You can hug this teddy in the night, imagining it to be a man." Min Yue chimed excitedly and ran her hand over the fur of the teddy.
"I must say, this HanHan knows what to gift you. This teddy is so cool." With appreciation, she was looking at the teddy and was running her hand over its fur.
"Hello." Min Yue's eyes widened and she jumped with fear when she heard a voice coming out from inside the teddy.
"Ah, mommy, save me. Teddy is a ghost."
