Chapter 213 She Is The Biker!
Zhou Liying parked her bike at a little distance from the lake. She walked toward the man made lake and took her seat on one of the stones. "Beautiful."
She looked in the clear water of the lake which was reflecting the stars in the sky. The lake looked beautiful. It was masterpiece indeed. Now she knew, why government so wanted to develop the area around this lake into a city.
This lake was going to be an attraction for others to move in here. This lake was going to be a profit earner.
This lake was used to be a part of hydropower plants. The government closed the plant a few years back. They were demolished and the area around the lake was cleaned.
With time, trees and bushes grew near the lake, making it a famous picnic spot among the citizens. For now, this lake was used for swimming, boating and many other water activities.
"I guess, this place is going to be my new heaven for the time being." Zhou Liying sighed. She Renee her hilltop in London which used to be her getaway. And now this lake. It was giving her the needed solace.
Mu Yuehan frowned when he saw the familiar bike parked near the lake. But soon, a smile appeared on his lips. He had thought that he had lost that driver but guess what, the biker too was coming to the lake.
Without wasting any time, he stopped the engine. He was afraid that he would miss the opportunity to see the biker once again if he delayed. He stepped out from the car and ran toward the lake.
With each step, his heart rate increased. His breathing too became abnormal. With astonishment, he looked at a female sitting beside the lake. His beating heart was telling him that this female was none other than his girl.
Holy….
'She is that daring driver?'
'My Lili was the one driving the bike at such a fast pace?'
To confirm his doubts, he walked toward her, to see her face. A surprised gasp escaped his lips when he saw it was indeed Zhou Liying. His heart stopped beating upon imagining the risk she was putting herself into, only for fun.
"Lili, you."
Alerted, Zhou Liying looked at Mu Yuehan. She groaned when she saw him. She was here to be away from his thoughts.
But guess what?
God did not want to see her in peace and that was why Mu Yuehan was here?
"Should I leave now?" she thought to herself but denied her idea.
Why should she leave, when she found a little peace here?
Besides, if she left, she would become a coward. And she did not want to come in front of him as a coward.
Mu Yuehan smiled at her and took his seat on the adjacent rock to her. He grumbled under his breath because of the gap in between two rocks. There was not enough space on the rock of Zhou Liying for him to sit.
"You know, you should not drive your bike at such a fast speed, especially in this area." Mu Yuehan spoke with fear and worry.
"It's my bike, my life, my wish if I want to drive fast or not. You should not care about it." Zhou Liying spoke in a harsh tone, without looking at him.
Mu Yuehan sighed and looked at the lake. He knew she would not listen to him, not now when their relationship was not good. But he made a mental note to talk with her about her bike's speed once she accepted him.
"By the way, thank you for the car. Although, you didn't need to give me a return gift for the gift I gave to you."
Zhou Liying turned toward him and raised her right brow in a perfect arc. "Who said it is a rerun gift?" She mocked. "This gift is for your escorting service in Vegas. I saw you did not deposit the cheque. Hence, here is the car for the compensation. By the way, you can be an escort as a side business. You are quite good at it."
Lips of Zhou Liying lilted up in a sneer when she called him an escort. Mu Yuehan glared at her for a second before he composed himself. His ego hurt upon hearing that he was called an escort.
"I know why you are insulting me." He took her hand with her wedding ring in his hand with the ring. Their rings were glittering brightly under the moonlight.
"I know you are scared that one day I will leave you, leave you the way others left you. But I promise. I will never leave you."
His voice was soft and soothing to the heart of Zhou Liying. She closed her eyes, enjoying his simple touch on the back of her hand.
"Insult me as much as you want, make me hate you as much as you want, test my love, challenge my love, but you will always find me standing beside you. My love for you is very strong. I will not leave you because of some stupid acts of yours."
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Heart of Zhou Liying beat fast in her chest. Her body was quivering with delight. There were unshed happy tears in her eyes. Few words from him felt like a confession, a true confession from him.
"I love you so much, Darling. I love you and I am ready to face whatever you will throw in my direction. It is my promise, soon you too will fall for me like crazy. Your heart will revolt against your brain and then, you will be in my arms, loving me."
Zhou Liying's heart skipped a beat when she heard his confidence filled words. He was challenging her and she knew, she was to lose this challenge, especially when she looked in his dark eyes.
His eyes were filled with love, love for her and she wanted to get lost in it.
Then what was stopping her back!
One thing which stopped everyone from leaping faith, fear!
