Chapter 228 Some Research For Tomorrow’s Challenge.
Once Mu Yuehan was gone, Zhou Liying entered in her bathroom. She cringed when she looked at her face. She looked pale. Her hairs were a complete mess. She did not look a sight.
'Dono know how Mu Yuehan was able to look at me when I look like this?'
She shook her head and climbed under the shower. She twisted the nobs and let warm water fell over her. Under the warm shower, with a clear mind, she thought about the incident from the morning.
She knew she was overreacting. Mu Yuehan was not obliged to not deal with the people she hated only because he loved her. It was the first rule of business to never mingle personal life with business. He was only following the rule.
Then why did she get angry with him?
Maybe she expected support from him in destroying both families. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m
Or maybe, as he said, she used the phone call to be angry on him, to push him away.
She sighed, not knowing what was going on with her. Her heart and mind were confused or in conflict with each other all the time. Her heart was always heavy, with something bugging her. And she did not know what!

Mu Yuehan exhaled sharply from his mouth. He looked at the door of the penthouse of Zhou Liying. There was a sorry card in his hands. He took another deep breath and entered the key in the keyhole to open the door.
He frowned when the key did not move. He pulled out the key and decided to use the digital lock. He entered the password of her penthouse which he got to know when staying with her.
"What the hell? Did she get the lock and pins changed to lock me out of her penthouse?" He looked at the red alarm on the digital lock with wide eyes. "She is very angry. I will need to work hard to tame my angry tigresses."
He scratched the back of his neck and pressed the doorbell.
Poor Mu Yuehan was not aware that it was his bad luck that the key did not work. And about the pin code, Zhou Liying changed it because she was habitual of changing pins of all locks once in two month.
"What are you doing here? Did I not make it clear in the morning that I don't want anything to do with you?" Zhou Liying narrowed her eyes. She acted all angry in front of him.
She was about to close the door on his face, Mu Yuehan saw it coming, so he pushed the door hard before she could close it. He entered her house.
"I am not going anywhere before explaining to you." He looked at her with determination.
She scoffed and looked at the card in his hands. She shook her head and turned around. "You don't need to explain anything to me. After all, you are no one to me."
He gritted his teeth at her emotionless voice. "Don't forget that we are spouses. And yes, I have an explanation to do. I know you hate Fan and Qin family. Trust me, I hate them more than you."
Zhou Liying stopped in her steps when she heard loathe in his voice. She turned and looked at his face. It clearly showed his animosity toward them.
"I never dealt with them nor will I in future. Fan Yifeng was able to come near my office because he had my sister's privilege card with himself. My sister is a friend of your cousin, Qin Yeteng." Mu Yuehan explained in a firm voice. "I did not go to meet Fan Yifeng. I had him thrown out of my company. And now if you want, I can ask my sister to break her friend…"
"No need." She interrupted him. "Qin Yeteng is not bad. She must be forced by her parents to get the privilege card."
Zhou Liying may hate Qin family but she always had a soft spot for Qin Yeteng. The reason being, Qin Yanze loved her dearly. During his dying days too, he requested Zhou Liying to look after Qin Yeteng if possible.
She knew Qin Yeteng did not suffer any less in her childhood. Who knows what her position in the family was right now?
Besides, Qin Yeteng never did anything to harm her. Sure, she was bitter but she never crossed her lines. She did not want to make her suffer by snatching a friend from her. She could bet that it was Qin family forcing her to talk with the sister of Mu Yuehan.
"Am I forgiven now?" Mu Yuehan tilted his head and looked at her with a cheeky smile. "If not, I know many ways to get one." He passed her the card.
Zhou Liying shook her head. From what she knew, he was not going to leave here without getting her forgiveness.
"I forgive you. Now leave. Today is Sunday if you do not know, and on Sunday, I prefer to spend my time all alone. So, leave." She spoke in a tired voice.
Mu Yuehan saw the tiredness in her features. So not wasting much of her time, he thrust the card in her hands. "I hope you remember about tomorrow's challenge. I lost first one but tomorrow I will win. And then I will be taking you on a date."
"Dream on." She rolled her eyes. "Tomorrow again you will be losing against me. I am a pro in tomorrow's challenge. No one can defeat me in it."
"Then let me tell you, I too am a pro. I am the best in the country. Get ready Zhou Liying, to loss from me." He declared confidently. "Now I will take your leave."
Mu Yuehan left and closed the door after him. She felt slightly worried because of his confidence. She knew she has high chances to win tomorrow. But she could not neglect that Mu Yuehan too could be good in it.
She returned to her room and started to do some research, to win tomorrow's challenge. After her research, she cooked dinner for herself. She ate it while watching a movie and then she called it night.
