Nina heaved a sigh of relief patting her heart. But, the next second, she opened her mouth and warned, "Never ever go in front of that man ever again! God forbid, if one day you accidentally bump into him, just hide. Okay?"
Mian swallowed hard and nodded like a scared kitten. However, she couldn't stop herself from picturing batting the hooligan into a mouse's dwelling and hurling stones towards the entrance.

In the evening, when secretary Hu knocked on the door, "Come in," Mu Yuhaan's cold voice was heard from inside.
Hu Ming went inside and reported, "President Mu, we have to leave for the Old Madam's birthday party now. Otherwise, we will be late."
Mu Yuhaan straightened his back, looked up from the file he was perusing, then nodded his head slightly. He went to his private lounge which was located inside his room, to change his suit.
While taking off his suit, a sweet and familiar scent wafted into his nose. Mu Yuhaan paused for a second, before bringing the suit near his nose, taking a sniff from it.
It was her scent.
Once again Mian's face popped up in his head. Those brown eyes-'What is happening with me? What's wrong with me?'
Bewildered, he took a deep breath, changed into a brand new custom made armani suit, which had accentuated his biceps, wide shoulders and thin waist perfectly. After glancing at his F.P. Journe limited edition wrist watch, Mu Yuhaan left his office for the Mu Mansion.

Reporters had been swarming outside the maingate, as no reporter was allowed inside the Grand Mansion.
A 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO ( $70M ) in between 10 other black cars, stopped right in front of the gate, which attracted everybody's attention in a jiffy.
Being the richest businessman in Asia was not easy. There were thousands of enemies after Mu Yuhaan; especially, enemies from the underworld, who were skulking in the dark, waiting desperately for a single opportunity to take him down.
Therefore, for security reasons, Mu Yuhaan had to bring these bodyguards with him whenever he attended any known event like tonight's. Everyone knew, Mu Yuhaan would be attending his grandmother's birthday banquet.
It was not like Mu Yuhaan was a coward or something. In fact, he was a kung fu master. He could easily beat his enemies. However, the fact was, he didn't have that much time to deal with these trivial matters. Hence, he let his bodyguards follow him.
Seeing a horde of cars, all the reporters instantly knew who it was, so they started swarming around the car in the middle.
All of them were trying to get a scoop. It was once in a blue moon chance for them, as Mu Yuhaan didn't accept any interviews, he hated to appear in front of cameras.
"Master Mu, do you want to say anything about Mu Empire's upcoming collaboration with Europe?"
"Master Mu, is the rumor about you being miss Jing Lihua's fiance true?"
"Master Mu, are you going to announce your engagement with Miss Jing Lihua tonight?"
"Master Mu...Master Mu..Master Mu..."
A slight frown appeared on Mu Yuhaan's face, as he tilted his head towards his secretary.
Understanding the gesture, Hu Ming hurriedly went ahead, "No comment. Move aside please, move aside-"
Mu Yuhaan's bodyguards made a path for their boss by joining hands with each other; keeping him in the middle. After that, Mu Yuhaan directly entered inside his ancestral house. Screwing up his eyes, he scanned the whole mansion.
It was decorated in a very lavish-grand way, as expected from his grandfather.
Tonight, all the relatives, business partners and well known families of the town had been invited to the Mu Mansion. Every year eldest Mu celebrated this day in such a grand way that Old Madam's birth-date became a public common knowledge. In fact, it would be hard to find even a little kid who hadn't heard how much this Old Man loved his wife.
Every invited person attended Mu's parties. Whether be it for currying favor with the Mu or for getting their daughters married off to one of the Mu brothers. However, not every family dared to dream about getting Mu Yuhaan as their son-in-law. After all, Mu Yuhaan was too perfect and perfectionist.
The moment Mu Yuhaan crossed the threshold, all the eyes were set on him. It was not only his drool worthy handsomeness, but also the charisma he exuded, that made him stand out distinctively in the crowd.
Even in the mask, he ended up sowing the seed of infatuation in all the women's hearts. Waves after waves of whispers heated the atmosphere instantaneously.
"Master Mu is much more handsome in person than in those business magazines! See, how tall he is! He is so strong!" Huo Tena, Huo Family's beloved daughter exclaimed.
"Yes, I heard Master Mu is 6'3. Look at his strong arms and triangular back! His frame conveys strength!" Shrieked another social butterfly in admiration. Drool crusted one corner of her mouth.
"My father says that Master Mu took his Ph.D. at the age of eighteen. From nineteen, he has been managing the underworld and subsidiaries of Mu Empire. At the age of twenty four, he became the president of Mu Empire and made it number one in Asia." The eldest daughter of the Han family praised with admiration in her eyes. Her speech varied between a high pitched adulation and slow, incomprehensible mumbles.
"If I could spend a day by this charismatic man's side, my life would be fulfilled. I heard he graduated from Harvard Business School, and received several gold medals for his outstanding results." A studious girl commented.
While girls were praising Mu Yuhaan, men were feeling degraded. Because, they couldn't compare themselves with the outstanding Mu Yuhaan, Mr. Perfect!
Amidst this crowd, one particular person was feeling extremely content.
'Yuhaan Gege, very soon you will be mine and I will be your wife. The Business Emperor, Mu Yuhaan's Wife! Mrs. Mu Yuhaan!' Pride sparked in Jing Lihua's gaze.
