She giggled at the sight of the brand new camera. She hugged it tightly in her bosom as it was a precious gem. Actually she had been eyeing this camera for a few months, even before it was released. However, she knew she would never be able have the heart to buy it in her entire life. It's not that she couldn't afford it but she loved her hard- earned money too much that she felt stabbing pain in her heart every time she spent it.
" Zihan, thank you!"
He looked at her with gentle and loving look. He presented her his sincere smile. He loved to see her smiled and laughed when she was with him. " Anything for you darling."
" Then, did you found my car?"
" I did. I already asked someone to send it to a scrap centre."
" You did what?!"
Ai Lin was so shocked that she stood up the instant she heard her car was sent to be scrapped. Her grip on the camera loosened and it fell on the couch. He looked at Mu Zihan with widened eyes and mouth. Her eyes full with terror.
Mu Zihan who was unaware to the mistake that he already made, said proudly. " Your car is too old and the model is already outdated. There's also many broken parts and it will be dangerous if you continue to drive it. It also broke the last time you drove it. Thus, I asked someone to send it to a scrap centre."
Ai Lin was horrified. Her knees weakened and wobbled tremendously. Her whole body trembling and in that instant she fell on the butt on the floor. She couldn't believe her ears. Her baby was sent to be scrapped. Her baby!
" H.. How.. How could you? You killed my baby! My baby!" She wailed loudly.
She was too agonized and couldn't forget every cents she spent to buy her baby. If she bought her camera by using her savings for months, then she bought her baby by using her savings for years! Although her baby was only a cheap and used car, but she really treasured it as she used her hard earned money to own it. And now it's gone just like that.
====================
A few weeks had passed since the incident that Mu Zihan 'killed' Ai Lin's baby. Since that incident, Ai Lin had locked herself in her room for days. She didn't allow anyone to enter her room or disturb her especially Mu Zihan. She only went out to eat once a day. She also launched a cold war towards Mu Zihan.
Mu Zihan was frustrated. He felt wronged. He only did that to make things easier for her, he didn't know that things would went wrong at that point. He really regretted it. He tried hard to cajole her but she never gave him a chance to do that. He could only appease her during her meal but she kept her silence every time he talked to her. Only after a week of his hard work, Ai Lin started to talk to him again.
Since then, Butler Na and the others would witness their bickering and bantering every now and then. However, Mu Zihan's performance always amused them. Who would thought the haughty and mighty Mu Zihan would kneel down afterwards every time they had quarrels. Although they couldn't believe their eyes at first, but now they're getting used to it. They really admired their future madam to be able to tame their vicious master.
Even now, another round of bickering was happening in the study room.
" Zihan, it had been a long time since I last swam. I want to go to a swimming pool."
Ai Lin wrapped her arms around his muscular hand. She acted coquettishly to gain Mu Zihan approval. She wanted to go out but she wasn't allowed to. She was bored and frustrated at the same time but she knew he did this for her safety. Hence, she had no argument to argue with him in this matter. Instead, she should thank him. However, she was really bored to the point she started to count every doors and windows in the house.
" You want to swim? We have a swimming pool at home." Mu Zihan replied nonchalantly. He focused his gaze on the documents on the table and didn't even raised his head to look at her.
" You have a swimming pool here?" Ai Lin was surprised. She really didn't know the existence of the swimming pool in this house. She had never seen one before.
" There's one in the rooftop. I didn't show you before because you just discharged from the hospital and it's unsuitable for you since it was too windy there. Now, you've gotten much better and it's okay for you if you want to go there."
" Ah…? No, no, no. You heard me wrong. I didn't say swimming pool. I said pool. Yes, that's it. I want to play pool." She shook her head hard. She was flabbergasted. How could there was a swimming pool suddenly?
" You want to play pool? Okay, I'll bring you there. We also have one in the basement. When this house was first built, I'd asked the architects to turn the basement into a leisure room." Mu Zihan stood up and took her hand in his palm before walking out of the study room.
Ai Lin was stupefied. What the hell was going on here? Why he had everything in his house? And what with the sudden existence of the basement?
" That… Zihan, I don't want to play pool anymore. I suddenly want to go to a cinema. There's a new movie that has been released lately and viewers said it's good. So, I want to watch it." Ai Lin prayed hard in her heart. She really needed to go out today or else she would become a crazy woman.
" Cinema? We also have one in the leisure room. What's the title of the movie? I'll ask someone for it." Mu Zihan smirked secretly. All her tricks would only be futile towards him. He has prepare everything for her.
Once she heard that, her face turned ugly and her heart turned sour. She really had the urge to strangle him right now. Why must he had everything in his house?!
