Chapter 58 Losing His Chance Because Of His Miscalculations
"You. Don't you understand, I don't want your gifts?" Nian Tian said angrily, but she still accepted the gift.
"Perfume?"
"It's a customized perfume. I bought it from a local seller. Its fragrance is that of the beach. I am sure, you will like it."
Nian Tian placed the perfume near her nose and was impressed with its fragrance. It was very close to natural sea air. She was again fascinated with the thoughtfulness of Mu Yuehan.
'Nian Tian, don't get affected by his gifts. He is giving you gifts only till you say your yes to him.'
"You should stop giving me gifts, especially the ones I don't need." Nian Tian raised her brow and looked at him with seriousness.
"Then tell me, what do you need. I will get it for you."
"You can't get it." Nian Tian scoffed. Her brain already running in all directions as to what gift she could ask for which he would reject.
"I will get it. You only have to say the name." Mu Yuehan declared stubbornly.
"Let's see then." Nian Tian opened her phone and searched for the latest video game which would release tomorrow. The video game was in great demand even before its release.
"This video game." Nian Tian passed him her phone. "There is only one shop which is selling this game, it's not even on juju island but is in the city. Fans are already gathered outside the shop and had formed a long queue. Can you stand in that queue for me? Can you get me this game?"
Nian Tian scoffed when she noticed a frown in between his brows. "You can't. You can…."
"I will." Mu Yuehan looked up at her face. "I will get this game for you. If this is what you want, then this is what you will get."
Nian Tian looked at him with wide eyes, she blinked twice to ensure she was not dreaming. Would he get this game for her?
"Close your mouth sweetheart." Mu Yuehan closed her half-opened mouth. "I will do anything for you and getting this game is nothing."
Marry fumed with anger when she saw this scene, the care of Mu Yuehan toward Nian Tian. Her mother has told her how Mu Yuehan was pursuing Nian Tian, about the gifts. She wanted to be the girl pampered by him.
She would try her best to be his girl, even if that meant, removing Nian Tian from her way.
**
When Mu Yuehan arrived in the city, he was shocked to see a huge line of fans outside the shop where the game was about to be released. There were a minimum of two hundred people in the queue.
Some of them were sitting on the roadside. It was clear that they were in the queue from the last night. He gulped.
When Nian Tian displayed him the news clip yesterday, he did not believe that fans could be really outside the shop but today, he was proved wrong.
"I can do it." He motivated himself.
He could have asked one of his guards to buy this game, scratch that, he could have used his influence to get this game, but he wanted to buy it himself, to prove his devotion to Nian Tian.

Nian Tian was working in the restaurant when she received the first photo from Mu Yuehan, a selfie with him standing in the long queue. She was surprised that he went to buy the game for her. She was more surprised to realise that he had her number.
'Marta must have given it to him.'
After another hour, she received another photo with him standing in the queue and the sun high above the sky. Then another photo of him sharing some food with the others standing in the line. Another one of him having an ice cream, while sweating profoundly.
Mu Yuehan was struggling in the queue. It was not only extremely hot but also, it was his first time standing in a queue.
It was in the evening when Nian Tian returned home, she received a final photo from Mu Yuehan. In the photo, he was grinning widely with the video game in his hand. His smile was so contagious that the heart of Nian Tian skipped a beat.
Her eyes became emotional. It was the first time that someone struggled so much to give her something. At that moment, she felt his love and care for herself.
She ran her finger over his face on the phone screen and spoke in a soft and heart-melting voice, 'I am ready. I am ready to give you a chance. To be your girl.'
She felt her heart melt with his dedication. Her heart was crazily begging her brain to give Mu Yuehan a chance. She knew he was dedicated to her. There was no harm in having him as her man.
Unbeknown to her decision, Mu Yuehan was planning his next step, which was going to change the mind of Nian Tian.
**
It was late in the night when Mu Yuehan returned to Juju island. He decided to not disturb Nian Tian and called it a night.
**
The next day, when Nian Tian heard the knock on the door, her heart skipped a beat and then it started to beat wildly. A nervous smile appeared on her lips. Her heart did a summersault and her toes curled up in anticipation.
"You can do this. You can tell him, you are ready." She motivated herself and walked toward the door. She opened it with a gentle smile on her lips which soon turned into a frown.
"Delivery."
With distaste, she looked at the delivery boy. Gloominess appeared in her heart because it was not Mu Yuehan.
Nian Tian accepted the delivery and entered the house. She frowned when she saw a jewellery box with the name Zhan Wei written on it.
"Another gift?"
She opened the box and her eyes went wide when she saw a very expensive diamond set in it. She fumed with anger, forgetting she was going to give a chance to Mu Yuehan.
To her, this jewellery box felt like a bribe to win her heart!
