Chapter 24 - Chapter 2.6

Mu Zi Lei was a man who held dearly on his precious memories specially the happy ones.

When his parents died when he was still five, he whimpered and cry like there's no tomorrow while his grandfather hugged him tenderly as their bodies were slowly incinerated and after a few moments, what appeared in his sight was a luxurious plain jar filled with his parent's remains as what they made on their last will- for the two of them to be buried together. When Mu Zi Lei turned thirteen, he was a cold and expressionless person. His young mind was full of grief and depression. Many psychologists had been sent to treat him unfortunately it even turned worse- it turned into violence! He was very violent and hurt anything that approaches him and comforts him. He can't let anyone near him because he can manage himself alone. He followed this path because if he was strong, he can find the one who killed his parents and once they were in front of him, he will kill them himself when he grow up.

One day, his violent tendency can't be controlled anymore. He was outside that time and went to a park. He tried to regain his calm but it was in vain. Street thugs approached him because of his weak- like- persimmon aura and  they threatened to bully him but unfortunatelly, the thugs didn't know they'll met their match in a thirteen year old kid.

Once a thug swished his arm and fist to punched him, he avoided it. As he avoid more incoming fists,  he punched and kicked the thugs aimlessly to inflict them pain and  to protect his possesions. If he only followed his grandfather's order to go straight home, this will not happen.

The last boss appeared. A handsome and spooky young man grabbed his neck and punched him. Mu Zi Lei just smirked. He was wounded, he know that he can't defeat this man so he kicked his crotch and hide in the bushes.

The man and his subordinates searched for him but they gave up because more people were coming in their direction.

" Ummm...Hello? "

Mu Zi Lei looked behind him and saw an angel. A kid who had no expressions just like him.

" You are wounded, handsome brother. Do you need help? "

Mu Zi Lei shook his head but the kid grabbed his hand and lead him to a far away white bench. The kid fetch a white handkerchief at her trouser's pocket and tied it at his wounded hand.

" You know, fighting was good but power and strength are not enough to win, right? You need friends,ah... like when I was bullied by my classmate. My friends help me to fight them so we win! "

Mu Zi Lei 's eyes brightened. He now realized that his idiotic outbursts was all nonsense. He can't kill his parent's murderers in the future just by himself,ah. If he aimlessly do it,  he just turned himself into a thug too, right?

" Right... Kid, can you be my friend? "

" Huh??? "

The young Bai Xiao Ning wondered why this older kid asked him suddenly to be his friend.

He just wandered around and noticed him hiding and he made a friend because of that? He can agree because it was no harm, right?

"'Of course, so we can fight together! "

Mu Zi Lei was stunned. He just saw the angel's smile. His mind turned naughtier and he can't help but asked:

" If we grow up... can you live with me in my house? "

Young Mu Zi Lei thought that making this cute little angel his bride in the future will be a good idea. He will claim her here so no one will snatch her away from his grasp until he grew stronger- just enough to protect her and to avenge himself.

" Live? Was it a big and beautiful house that have many flower gardens that my mother liked? "

Oh!! He was agreeing to be my future wife?

" Of course, but why your mother's? "

" My mother was dead and if I saw the flowers she loved, I feel happy specially the roses and sunflowers. "

A few days passed, great change happened at Mu Houshold. The young master was planting differents kinds of flowers but the it was mostly compose of sunflowers and roses.

The young Bai Xiao Ning told his sister about his friend.

Bai Xuan was happy but a little alert because what if that older friend snatched her twin brother away from her?

The two young kids played and chatted for months. Mu Zi Lei became a happy and carefree person while Bai Xiao Ning smiled every now and then.

Mu Zi Lei thought that the little angel was really cute even though her face was a little passive. Bai Xiao Ning thought that this older handsome brother was a not so...bad brother.

As months passed by, their relationship deepened but one day, Mu Zi Lei needed to study abroad. He promised that he'll come back for the angel. He saw her red eyes and hugged her before leaving.

But there's one thing he forgot. He forgot to ask the angel's name and also he forgot to tell his name to the angel.

-------

Years passed by, Mu Zi Lei was now an army commander. He didn't forget his promise to the angel but did the angel forgot him?

One night, he received a call from his grandfather that he needed him to be his heir of he still remained unmarried or he could just keep his army commander position if he was married to a great lady before he leaved the world because of his sickness.

He obeyed and a kid with a beautiful face appeared on his mind. He suddenly made an elaborate plan to find his angel and while finding her, get married on a lady to be his fake wife. Maybe, the little angel was now ready to enter Mu Villa's main gate.

He drew a nice potrait of his angel on the canvas and  collected many pictures of ladies who were still a kid in hope that he will find resembling features to them that was similar to his angel.

He can just post the potrait he drew of his angel to the internet for easier searching but being afraid of finding a fraud that went under the knife or fake claims because they resemble her a bit and blame the passage of time because of change, he decided to not do it so a meticulous plan was made.

Ten ladies were secretly contacted and it included Bai Xuan and Qing Yue. They didn't have to be rich or an elite. They only need to be similar to the angel and by answering the question about what was their favorite flower/s.

Mu Zi Lei thought that Bai Xuan was his angel but he was wrong because she was allergic to lavenders and roses. Qing Yue was likely his angel because she really liked sunflowers and roses from all the flowers in the flower garden. She's even risking herself by going near the forbidden sunflower garden.

(A/N: Don't be fooled, Mu Zi Lei!!! You'll see her true color soon!!!)

While the fake wife candidate selection was still ongoing with an alluring prize for the winner, he decided to help out at an all-boys school to relieved his accumulated stress.

He met a boy who was the same surname as Bai Xuan but he was different because he was a he and not a she. He was also a nerdy kid who was like a slippery catfish when dealing to his supposed punishments in his class.

It suddenly hit him that...if the angel was a man...what will he do? Is the promise still active?

He didn't expect that this was the truth because of the installed camera he set on the hallway.

He saw "Bai Xuan's" chest were flat when she came out from her room. He was secretly observing "her" since the day he came to the music room to listen to her music and he was sure that was full these pastfew days but why was it flat now? Even before her asthma attacks, it was full. Her body was even measured by the personal maid he sent and confirmed that she was indeed a woman unless...

This made him laugh. He didn't thought that this was the reason he was not dating girls these years. He was strayed from the right path but it was not bad... He was even happy.

Mu Zi Lei decided to go all  out. He hired  a private investigator  via phone and the result came after one hour. While reading the files on his computer, the rare smile hanging on his face grew wider as more papers were read.

He now knew why Bai Xuan didn't like sunflowers. He also now knew that Bai Xuan and Bai Xiao Ning were twins. He now knew why his angel always asked him the time when they were playing at the park because he was sneaking.

Bai Xiao Ning was strictly hidden by his father and he coincidentally made friend of him while he was playing around the park as Bai Xuan.

The only thing he wondered was...Does his angel still remember him? Will he still get married to him?

Mu Zi Lei frowned. He will not let his angel escape but first he needed to interrogate Qing Yue for harming his sister-in-law but before that...

He once again dialed a string of number he knew by heart and with a  voice filled with seriousness utterred a command,

"Is this the Printed Lines And Heart Corp.? Call your boss. This is Mu Zi Lei. Tell him that he should prepare the wedding in a week. The grander the better. Don't ask any details. That green haired guy know what my plan is since I was his room mate in junior high. "

The call receiver: "....." Panic!!!!
