Mu Yuehan and Zhou Liying were silently sitting on the edge of the lake, enjoying the soothing environment and cold air. The set up was romantic, perfect for a date.

Mu Yuehan wanted to offer a walk with Zhou Liying around the lake but he did not ask, afraid, she would deny him.

He picked up a random stone from the ground and threw it in the lake. It bounced three times before submerging inside. He picked another stone and it too submerged in the lake after three bounce.

After losing against Zhou Liying back in the city across juju island, Mu Yuehan was continuously practising of throwing a stone in the lake, in her memories. Now he too was kind of expert in this game.

Zhou Liying looked at the stone thrown by Mu Yuehan with amusement. She too picked up a stone and imitated his action, but her stone fell in the lake without any bounce.

Mu Yuehan frowned, 'Can a person forget about his practised skills with his memories?'

She picked another stone and hence again, it submerged in the lake with a loud splash and without any bounce. She pouted unconsciously.

Mu Yuehan chuckled at her pout. "This game is not very easy. It needs practise. Let me teach you."

Before she could reject his offer, he took her right hand and placed a stone in it. "Hold it like this, all right."

He was giving her instructions with all seriousness. But she was looking at his handsome face. He looked striking when serious. With moonlight falling on his face, he looked gorgeous.

She looked at his face from close. Her heart trembled when an image flashed in front of her eyes, him with a book. But she did not remember the time when she saw him with a book and in the dress in her flash.

Her breathing rate picked up. She attempted to remember the image repeatedly, but she failed.

"Are you alright?" Mu Yuehan placed his palm on her back, looking concerned.

"I am all right." She took a few breaths from her mouth, feeling calm with his simple touch. She closed her eyes and again opened them. "Let me try throwing the stone."

She shifted away on her rock. She picked up a stone and threw it in the lake, as instructed by Mu Yuehan.

Her first stone bounced only once, but then next stone bounced twice and after five more attempts, her stones were bouncing three times before submerging into water.

"And someone was saying it needs practice. Only a dumb person will need practice for this game." She taunted.

Mu Yuehan looked amused. 'Guess what, a person may forget his skills but she only needs some practice to remember her skills. If only a person can remember another forgotten person so easily.'

He sadly sighed. Unaware of his gloominess, Zhou Liying was throwing the stones in the lake. She was enjoying this pass time.

"I have transferred all the promised properties at your name." Mu Yuehan informed. He picked up a stone and threw it in water.

"Excuse me?" she turned her face to look at him. Confusion was visible on her face.

"Remember, I promised that I will transfer some properties to you once we get married? I transferred them at your name."

Zhou Liying blinked in surprise. "I thought you were lying. Why did you transfer them when I didn't even accept this marriage?"

"Soon you will accept this marriage. And hence all those properties are my gift for you. You can send your lawyer to collect the papers. You can see if you want anything more from me for this marriage."

Zhou Liying felt emotional upon hearing him. Many emotions ran in her mind and her heart turned heavy.

Was he so sure of his love as to transfer so many expensive properties at her name? she remembered that his aero vision company was also one of them. Did he want to lose his ownership over them for her?

"I will take your leave." Zhou Liying abruptly stood up. She could no longer stay with Mu Yuehan. He was infecting her. He was affecting her heart and she was still not ready.

Mu Yuehan sighed and looked at Zhou Liying driving away from him. He knew his love affected her badly. She was running away from his love and this hurt him. He knew her stubbornness and he knew she was not going to accept his love without giving a tough fight to her own heart.

Next day in the evening, Min Yue entered in the office of Zhou Liying. She had a fearful expression on her face.

"Miss, there is an unknown car in your private parking, a Bugatti to be perceived."

Zhou Liying's eyes narrowed. A glint appeared in her eyes. She knew who was the sender of this car. She stood up from her seat and made her way toward the parking. She was fuming inside because of the gift Mu Yuehan sent for her.

With a surprised gasp, she stared at the Bugatti in front of her. And it was not a simple car, Swarovski crystal-coated car. Rubies in millions were coated around the car. Standing under the parking lights, the car looked stunning.

"This car was released with the car which you sent for Mister Mu." Min Yue informed. She too was looking at the car with awe. She felt lucky to work with Zhou Liying. That way, at least she was able to look at the car from so close.

There was a card attached with the wind cleaner of the car. Zhou Liying picked up the card and read it: I heard my car was a part of couple car launch. So, I sent the other car for you. Now we both will drive a couple cars for the world to know that we are spouses.

Zhou Liying fumed when she read his message. Her heart liked his sweet gesture but her mind hated it. It warned her repeatedly that Mu Yuehan was dangerous for her.

She pulled out the phone from her pocket. She searched for the number of Mu Yuehan and unblocked it. She dialled the number of Mu Yuehan, to ask him to take his car back.

She dialled his number repeatedly, but no one answered her. She called him after some time gap but again, there was no reply.

With each passing second, she felt scared for him. She knew that he would never ignore her call, he would surely answer her, especially now when he was pursuing her. So why didn't he answer her call till now?

She was afraid that something bad had happened to him because she have started to have feelings for him.

'Has my curse to never find love gotten to him?'
