Xian and Mishi called Hu Shen from outside his house. It was a kind of bungalow with a large garden. The white fountain in front of the bungalow was giving it a majestic look. Hu Shen answered Mishi's call and told her that he was coming out.

They both came out of the car when Hu Shen arrived there. Xian found he has indeed good looks which make him every girl's choice. Hu Shen hugged Mishi lightly and then he went to Xian. Shaking hands with each other, he introduced himself to Xian. Xian also did the same and then the trio went inside the house.

"Mishi, you are looking pretty especially with open hair. I remember your hair was always tied up," Hu Shen stated. Mishi thanked him and said, "Xian loves me to see in the open hair," Mishi asserted.

Hu Shen smiled upon hearing that and took them up the living hall. "Please take seats. Mom- dad is in the room. Rushell, please bring them here," said Hu Shen looking at them, and then turned to the housemaid, Rushell who nodded and left the living hall. They got seated on the couch when the other maid came there with a tray in her hand. Putting the juice glasses there and the snack bowls there, the maid left from there. Mishi placed the fruit basket which they bought when Hu Shen told her it was not needed.

"It is not for you but uncle-aunt," said Mishi and smiled.

Hu Shen handed the juice glasses to Xian and Mishi who thanked him. "Mishi was telling you used to live in the Netherlands. So, how here?" Xian asked and sipped the juice.

"Umm, I am here to set up the business. I always do one in my homeland. I even have signed a deal with you for a project. Mr, Mark talked with me too regarding that but you see I wanted to meet you to talk about the project," asserted Hu Shen.

"Okay. I was not in the office so I do not know about this," replied Xian when Mishi intervened "No, office talks here. You can discuss it later too." They both smiled and apologized to her. Hu Shen's parents came there with Rushell who then left the hall. They stood up seeing them.

Mishi went towards them and greeted them. "You are grown into a beautiful woman," complimented Yang Tao and planted a soft kiss on her forehead. Mishi thanked her and turned to Hu Shen's father, Yu Shen caressed Mishi's head. "We are happy to see you." He tilted his head slightly and saw Xian. "Is he your husband?" asked Yu Shen. Mishi gave a nod and then grabbed their hands, thus taking them towards the couch.

Making them sit on the couch, she sat in the middle of them. Xian greeted them and told them how much Mishi was excited to meet them. "I was so excited to meet you two. It has been more than 10 years since I last saw you," muttered Mishi and caressed their hands.

"That is why I always wanted a daughter like Mishi. Hu Shen is always busy with work. We told him to marry but he is not marrying," asserted Yang Tao, looking at Hu Shen.

"Hu Shen, you should marry now. It is not a good thing that a good looking, handsome man like you is still single. Uncle- Aunt, you should send him on some dates," said Mishi while smiling.

"Mishi, take back your words. Mom- dad will then get adamant about this. I am not going to marry this soon," stated Hu Shen.

"Do not worry uncle- aunt. I will find a girl for Hu Shen and will arrange a date for him," said Xian with a smile.

"Xian, you too started. Mom- dad do not listen to them, they are just kidding," stated Hu Shen and handed them the tea which Rushell sent there through a maid. Yu Shen sipped the tea and asked Mishi about her parents. The smile on Mishi's face disappeared.

"They are no more. They died in an accident when I was in my last year of college, almost 8 years ago," answered Mishi.

"What? Oh, Mishi! We should be with you in that tough time. Do not be sad. We are also like your parents. Your father and I were friends, remember?" mumbled Yu Shen. Mishi nodded and gave a tiny smile.

"Mishi, you were not with your uncle -aunt? I mean I once called there and I think aunt Ginny answered who told me you do not live there anymore. So, where were you and what about your siblings? They were so young at that time," said Hu Shen.

Xian looked at Mishi who was not ready to tell about Bai's betrayal to her so he intervened between them. "She managed to do it all. Let's not talk about Mishi's past. Many things have happened which I do not think are good to recall," Xian stated.

"Sorry Mishi to make you recall those things," apologized Hu Shen.

"You do not need to apologize," Mishi said with a smile. Till evening they were there and then left for the home. The night was falling when Xian decided to stop by a restaurant for dinner. He told Mishi about that and she also agreed with him.

"Mishi, why are you looking sad to me? Are you thinking about-'' Before Xian could complete his words Mishi said, "I do not want to talk about Bai to him? Even he knows how strong my friend was with her. She is now in jail and talking about her is now no use."

"You are saying right. Let's not talk about her. Let's talk about us," said Xian. "Hu Shen is indeed good looking. That is why he was your crush," muttered Xian.

"What do you mean? Do you think I fell for his looks?" Mishi inquired.

"Then?" Xian asked.

"A basketball match" she took a deep breath. "I saw him during a basketball match," Mishi replied and smiled.

"Okay. When you will see me playing basketball, you will again fall for me," stated Xian.

"I have already fallen for you," Mishi said softly, looking at him.

"Oh my God! Do not say such lines while I am driving. My heart just skipped a bit. Oh my..." mumbled Xian, looked at her, and then shifted his eyes back to the road. "Let's head to the restaurant," said Xian and applied the brakes. It was a small restaurant but there was a rush.

They stepped down from the car and went inside. Xian ordered meals for them and took Mishi to a seat. Sitting there, they waited for their meals. Mishi drank the water when Xian grabbed her one hand. Mishi put down the glass on the table and asked him what happened.

"Nothing, I just want to hold your hand," replied Xian with a tiny smile.

"Xian, when will my memories come back?" Mishi asked.

"Soon," Xian answered.

"I want to recall our dates, our first date, our marriage day, and other beautiful moments I spent with you," asserted Mishi and looked into Xian's eyes.

"What is going on in your mind?" Xian asked in a serious tone.

"Nothing," replied Mishi. "I am saying in general. Do not be so serious. I just want to remember everything related to you because you are most precious to me," she further added. Their order came and was served to them.

"Mishi, ask me. I can tell you every single thing," stated Xian. Mishi smiled and released her hand from his grip. "Okay. Let's eat first. You do not need to look serious. I was saying in general, okay," said Mishi and picked a dumpling. "Open your mouth," said Mishi to Xian who did so and took the bite.

Zhao's sleep broke as he felt asleep jerk and looked around. He rubbed his eyes and sat on the bed. "The door is still closed? Are they not going to give us meals?" muttered Zhao and turned to see Zhu Rui who was sitting on the other end of the bed.

"You still did not change this heavy dress? Are you not feeling uncomfortable wearing this gown?" Zhao then asked.

"No," replied Zhu Rui.

"You should wear that nightgown. It is not like I feel something seeing you in that," muttered Zhao and picked his phone from the table to call Xiao long. Zhu Rui looked at him and questioned, "what do you mean by you will not feel anything?"

"Will we be given our dinner or not? It feels like I am on house arrest," said Zhao on the phone.

"Sorry, Sir. The meals will arrive shortly. The cook is preparing the dishes," answered Xiao long from the other side.

"Send quickly. I am hungry," stated Zhao and cut the call. He then looked at Zhu and asked what she was saying.

"Nothing," replied Zhu Rui and went inside the washroom, taking the dress in her hand.
