" I …*hic*...I …*hic*..." She wanted to say something but her tears wouldn't stop, even her hiccup didn't give her a chance to talk. Thus she sobbed louder, feeling wronged for unable to speak.
" It's okay. You don't have to say anything. I understand." Ignoring his wet shirt, Mu Zihan tightened his hug and patted her softly. His heart felt like being pricked by thousand needles as he saw her tears dropped. He really hated himself for making her cry.
" No! You... *hic*... don't… *hic* understand. I hate… *hic*… this game. *hic*… I don't… *hic* want… *hic*… to play this… *hic*… game."
" I've never playing a game with you to begin with. I'm serious with you, Ai Lin. Did you forget? I even proposed to you. Do you think I would propose a woman to be my wife if I'm just playing a game with her?"
Ai Lin froze. She forgot to cry. He proposed to her? When? Why she couldn't recall anything about it? She pushed his chest and created enough space for her to look at his eyes. She wanted to know whether he was saying the truth or not.
" Did you really forget?!" Mu Zihan was rendered speechless. He started to have the urge to scold her again but looking at her face stained with tears, he didn't have heart to do that. " Hmphh, even you forgot you can't broke the promise you made. You'd accepted my proposal thus you're now my fiancée. There's no turning back for you. And I want to remind you again, this is not a game!"
Ai Lin was perplexed. She was unable to utter even a word to rebuke him because his eyes showed his seriousness. He was saying the truth.
" I'd asked Lu Ming to record the event that day just in case you will forget. I have never thought you'll really forget. Haihhh, I'll just show you the video." Wiping away her tears which already came to stop, he helped her to stand up. " Come, follow me to the study."
" Uncle Na, please bring the wheelchair here." Mu Zihan's order surprised the shocked Butler Na who stood still at the doorway. He quickly calmed his old heart and brought the wheelchair.
Mu Zihan helped Ai Lin with her wheelchair and pushed her to his study room.
Ai Lin looked around after entering the study room. This is her first time here. She gawked at the sight of the arranged books. It filled two walls of the room, from top to the bottom. She really couldn't understand people like him who loves to collect so many books. Did he really read all those books?
" Come here. I'll show you the video." Mu Zihan who already seated on his chair called Ai Lin who's still wandering around the room, inspecting and checking all the things there.
Hearing his call, Ai Lin moved her wheelchair next to him. On the table, a laptop was opened and showed an image of a hospital room where she stayed before.
" Before I show you this I want you to promise me one thing. Can you do that?" Mu Zihan took a tissue and wiped her face which still stained with her tears previously. Mu Zihan was being careful. He needed at least an assurance from her.
" Promise what?" Ai Lin frowned. She had a bad premonition about this.
" After watching the video, you can't get angry at me. You must not throwing things at me and punishing me. You also have to fulfill the promises you made in the video, the soonest the better."
" That's not one thing." Ai Lin frowned. She was uneasy. It felt like Mu Zihan was scheming something against her. Should she promise him all that?
" It's basically the same thing so it's counted as one. You just need to not get angry at me and fulfill your promise."
" That's two."
Mu Zihan went silent. It's really two things but both were important. " Then you can just promise me these two things."
" No."
" No? If you can't promise me these two things, I'll not show you the video." Mu Zihan smiled slyly. He was confident her curiosity would make her agree eventually.
" Okay then." Ai Lin turned her wheelchair and began to move.
Seeing that, Mu Zihan panicked. He never expected Ai Lin would rejected his offer like that. "Wait!"
Ai Lin stopped her wheelchair and raised her brows at Mu Zihan, waiting for him to speak. Her face showed her ' I don't care' attitude but inwardly she was really curious to know the video content. However, she didn't want to be played by the scheming man again.
" Th… That, you can promise just one thing. You just have to fulfill the promises you made in the video." After pondering for a moment, finally Mu Zihan decided which one would benefit him more. Thus, he volunteered himself to be tortured by her later. Sighhh.
" What promised did I made? What if I'm incapable of doing all of that?" Her curiosity was increasing. Why she was unable to remember the promises she made. At this point, she really doubted herself for having an amnesia.
" Don't worry, you're capable of doing that. So how? Will you promise me?" Mu Zihan had lost all his previous confident. Now, he was hesitated and worried that Ai Lin would refused him once again.
This time, Ai Lin was the one who went silent. She didn't know what promises had she made so she was unsure whether to agree or not. Although she knew Mu Zihan would never harm her with whatever promises she made but she still had the uneasy feeling. She could feel this was a trap Mu Zihan laid for her. On the other hand, she was really curious and wanted to know what actually happened. She wanted to agree but people said curiosity killed the cat. So, should she or shouldn't she?
" Okay, I promise I'll fulfill all the promises I made in the video."
