Chapter 236 She Is Gone.
"Sweetie, for how long do I need to stand outside our house?" A man grumbled.
"Five more minutes."
The man sighed and looked at the closed door. He was hearing this same answer for the last thirty minutes. He was not allowed to enter in his own house.
To his bad luck, today, he forgot to take the spare keys of the house, or we could say, his lover had sneakily taken his keys out from his pocket.
"Okay, now close your eyes. I am opening the door. Dare of you if I see your eyes opened." She ordered.
He sighed and closed his eyes. Finally, he would enter his house and see what surprise his love was planning for him.
"Tan tan….tadddaaa….." the lady opened the door with a dramatical music and lead her lover inside. He opened his eyes and was left in surprise.
The living room of their small house was decorated beautifully with red balloons, different coloured roses and scented candles.
"What occasion is today?" he asked with surprise.
"Today is our first month of togetherness." She grinned and hugged him. "I am so happy today."
"Not more than me." The man hugged her back. He leaned down and gently pecked her lips.
The scene shifted: both man and the lady were now standing on a balcony. They were holding each other's hands.
"TianTian, I promise that I will never leave you. I will always stay with you, till my last breath and even after becoming a ghost."
"I too promise to never leave you. We will stay together forever."
"I love you."
"Love you more."
She lovingly ran her hand on his face. His eyes were full of so much love for her. She could see her soul in his eyes. She knew this man was never going to leave her.
They both shared an intimate kiss.
The scene shifted again: the lady was seen running behind the man. The man was walking, ignoring her all pleas.
"Please don't leave me"
"Please don't go."
"How can you leave me?"
"You promised to stay with me."
"I am not leaving you." The man spoke, without turning his face. "You are the one who left me. You did not hold onto me. You pushed me away."
The lady kept running, but the man did not stop. Soon, some shadows appeared behind the lady and covered her mouth. She kept yelling but to no avail. She tried to move her limbs but some force was stopping her.

"Please don't go. Please......….." Zhou Liying mumbled and opened her eyes with a loud shrink. She sat straight on the bed and gasped hard.
She ran her hand in her sweaty hair, gasping loud for breath. It was just a dream, but a horrible one. It all felt real. She felt the feelings of the lady on getting the love of her lover and on getting separated from him.
She felt as if this was the reality of her, maybe a fragment of her past. But why did she feel that the lady was herself and the man was Mu Yuehan, or was this an image of her mind, a trick which her mind was playing on her?
"I can't let a dream affect me." Zhou Liying patted her face, to wear off the effect of the dream. She took breath from her open mouth and removed sweat from her face using the back of her palm.
She drank water. She stood up from her bed and walked toward the balcony. Many thoughts were running through her mind:
"That lady and that man were so much in love with each other."
"There was true happiness and love in their eyes."
"True love truly existed in this world."
"The man leave her not on his own will but because she pushed him away."
Wasn't she doing the same with Mu Yuehan?
She shook her head and returned to the bed. She had finally calmed down. She just needed some sleep, to get done with her dream which had again evaded her nights.

The next morning, Zhou Liying woke up with the ringing of her mobile phone. It was a call from Liam. He sadly informed her about his failure of not being able to catch anyone on the island of India.
Zhou Liying angrily threw her mobile phone aside after hanging the call with him. She was angry at him, her team, and mostly at herself for her failure. She wanted to become the most powerful in the world, but this unknown force had already defeated her so many times.
The same was the situation at the side of Mu Yuehan. He too was the most powerful man in the world. But again and again, someone was defeating him, first by kidnapping Zhou Liying and now again by targeting her.
He had to get more information about this hidden enemy before he had to face any more losses because of them.

After getting ready, Zhou Liying reached her office. She gave a call to Zhang Wei, secretary of Qin Yanze, inviting him to her office. She also asked him to bring the lawyers with himself. It was something related to the will of Qin Yanze.
Zhang Wei arrived at her office without any delay. Quickly, with the help of Liam, the marriage certificate was given to the lawyers and Zhou Liying received all the properties and other things given to her in Qin Yanze's will.
"I am so happy that you got married, Miss." Zhang Wei said once all the lawyers left the office of Zhou Liying, only he was left behind.
Zhou Liying had stopped him from leaving.
He was truly very happy about her marriage. He was especially happy that she got married to Mu Yuehan. He knew how much that man loved his miss.
"Argh, what could I do? I was stuck. I did not have any other choice." She groaned. "By the way mister Zhang," suddenly the tone of her voice changed, and threat appeared in it.
"Did you know about Mu Yuehan?" she asked warningly to him that no one would be worse than her if he lied.
Mister Zhang sighed and bowed his head. "Yes, I did. But I could not tell you because of my master. He had my mouth sealed."
"I can understand." Zhou Liying nodded. She was well aware of his loyalty. "I have one request to make from you."
"Anytime miss."
And then, Zhou Liying made a small request from him.
