Chapter 47: A reminder

A few days had passed by. But sometimes Nana still felt the presence of somebody. Watching her intently. After that one time, she didn’t see Sun Dong again.

But then once the twins came saying that they bumped into him. They warned him never to come near Natsukashi again.

After the anniversary celebration, she felt worried about whether the media will get news of Jinhai and her’s last dance. It would have been a problem if people misunderstood. But when she checked the newspapers, she didn’t find any.

She didn’t know why but after that night, Nana frequently started thinking of Liu Jinhai. It was not even in her control. Sometimes her mind automatically took her back to that time. When she was firmly held by him. Her chest pressing onto his. Her hand interlocked with his. Her eyes gazing into his. Her body slowly moving in tandem with his.

But then she would suddenly snap out of it. Every time she got reminded of the fact that he was married. And she felt horrified about her feelings. And equally hurt.

Something was drawing her to him. Dangerously attracting her to him. And she tried hard, very hard, but she couldn’t stop thinking about him.

“Ho ho ho!”, a loud voice cheered from outside.

Nana got startled.

She turned back and was dumbfounded.

Mr. Liu Hai?

But he didn’t give her any chance to talk. He suddenly took her hand and started taking her towards his car.

What? Where am I going? He is dragging me just like this?

Mr. Liu, thank God for the fact that I know you or you know this would be considered as a crime right? You would be labeled as a pervert.

“Come with me.”, he said.

His assistant lacked tears to shed. Boss! This is not how you do it. Do you want to kneel on the washboard? Because Madam will be extremely angry if she knows about this.

He started looking out for any paparazzi. God knows what will happen if he, a man old enough to be her father, gets shot dragging out a young girl in her early twenties. It would damage the Liu’s!

Liu Hai stuffed her into his car like a toy.

“Assistant! Where are you? We are getting late!”, he shouted.

“Umm…where are we..”

“Yes, dear? Oh, don’t worry. I’m not kidnapping you.”

It sure looks like that, she thought.

“Yes, sir.”

He started driving.

“So uncle…”

“Ssh ssh. We will talk when we get there. Okay?”

He was smiling.

Her mouth twitched.

Even if she was dragged into God knows where place, she was still happy to see him. She chuckled inwardly. His smile was really infectious.

Finally, they reached.

And Nana had mixed feelings about it.

Liu Corporations.

Why here? The celebration is over. So, what now?

Again he took her by hand and started dragging her.

Uncle, I can perfectly walk on my own, she cried.

The people had their mouths hanging wide open.

Master Liu? And with the same girl with whom young master Chen Jianyu was seen? Where is he taking her?

Nana remembered the familiar route he was taking.

The CEO’s office.

Her heart started beating faster. Is she going to meet him again? She didn’t want to but…Father Liu may have different plans in mind.

The elevator dinged and they reached in front of his office.

Huian was out shopping with Liu Chunhua.

She was relieved now. A few days had gone by but nothing happened after that letter. So she gradually forgot about it.

“Mom. Look! This dress is so pretty.”

“Indeed it is. Why don’t you try it on?”

“Okay.”

She tried on many different dresses. And got tired. Then she handed over to her mother-in-law.

“Mom. I’m tired. Now your turn. This will look so elegant on you. Try this.”

She sighed, “Okay.”

While she was in the changing room, a little girl came to Huian.

“Sister.”

She looked down and frowned. What is a little girl doing here?

“Yes?”

“Somebody told me to give this to you.” She handed her a letter.

Huian got petrified.

The same letter. It had the same light design and color.

“Who gave you this?”, she asked fearfully.

“I don’t know him. But he said he would give me lots of toys if I give this letter to you. Now my work is done. So bye.”

“Wait! Tell me-” but she was already gone.

Huian looked everywhere to find any suspicious-looking person but she didn’t find any.

She started sweating. She tremblingly opened the letter.

Mrs. Liu Huian,

I’m sad. You already forgot about me? But I haven’t. Neither you nor your secret.

PS – How I wish I could dance with you on your special night.

She started shaking badly.

What? He was there? On my wedding anniversary? HE WAS THERE!?

This is not a joke. Somebody does know about this. Somebody else KNOWS!

Somebody patted her from behind.

She screamed. “Who!?”

“Dear, what happened. Why are you so scared?”, Mother Liu asked.

“Oh…Nothing nothing! I was just talking on the phone and your pat suddenly gave me a jump. Sorry, Mom.”

“Its alright dear. How do I look?”

“Beautiful as always. Mom, please try one more. Last one. Please.”

She sighed, “Okay.”

She went to try on and Huian quickly dialed a number.

It was answered on the second ring.

“Grandma! We need to talk.”
