BXBX NOVEL Chapter 99 She Vanished
"I have to go now." Mu Yuehan stood up from the floor and looked at the door. "Wait for me. I will return."
"Hmm." Nian Tian gulped down the tears and looked at her empty ring finger. In her anger, she had thrown it away and now she regretted it.
Nian Tian heard the sound of footsteps fainting away. She knew he was leaving. She stood up from the ground and ran toward the window.
From it, she saw him making his way toward his car. Her heart broke when she saw the painful expression on his face. She gripped hard on the curtains.
Mu Yuehan was about to enter the car when his heart rate picked up. He turned and looked toward the window. A small smile broke on his lips when he saw her shadow.
He knew it was not their ending. With some time and a little mollifying, he\'d win her heart, again.
But if only Mu Yuehan and Nian Tian knew, it was the last time they were seeing each other. A four years-long separation awaited them.
Heartbreak was written in the fate of Mu Yuehan.

"I don\'t know what to do Marta." Nian Tian looked at Marta with tearful eyes.
Mu Yuehan knew Nian Tian needed some time in silence. But he also knew she\'d prefer the company of Marta. So, he had called Marta, requesting her to visit at their apartment, to console Nian Tian.
"My heart wants to forgive him. I know the reason for his lie but somewhere I am afraid. What if he is like all other rich men? What if…" she sobbed and placed her head on the lap of Marta. Marta gently massaged her head.
"Ask your heart, do you think he will cheat you? Why are you letting his identity become a test of his pure love? We both have seen it. He had worked so hard to be together with you. If he wanted to sleep with you, Marry was a better option for him and we both know that."
Nain Tian looked at her with wide eyes. Doubts, her misperceptions were clearing up upon hearing the wise words of Marta.
"Don\'t doubt his love. Don\'t forget how he saved you in the amusement park. He took a bullet for you. If he wanted, he could have left your hand but he did not. Because he was holding onto his life."
The heart of Nian Tian churned and she looked at Marta with guilt. "Oh my god Marta, I have done the biggest mistake of my life in my anger. What to do now?"
Nian Tian covered her face with shame and guilt. She closed off Mu Yuehan when she should have accepted him. She shouldn\'t have given a mind to his identity, even for once.
"First get up and wash your face," Marta ordered. "Then call Mu Yuehan. Poor child, he was so concerned for you."
Nian Tian nodded her head. She was about to stand when she felt dizzy. Marta took a hold of her hand and looked at her with concern.
"Are you alright?"
"Hmm, it must be stress." Nian Tian blinked her eyes. "I am fine."
Nian Tian entered the bathroom and washed her face. In the meantime, Marta prepared food for her.
Nian Tian came out and dialled the number of Mu Yuehan but it was out of range.
"He must be on the flight right now." Nian Tian took her seat. "Marta, should I go to Shanghai, to give him a surprise?"
"Good idea. He will love to see you there." Marta passed her food. "Don\'t worry about the restaurant. I will look after it in your absence."
Nian Tian nodded. She was about to have her food when she felt nauseous. She ran to the bathroom and emptied her stomach. Marta followed after her. She started to rub her back.
"Are you pregnant?" Marta asked.
"No…. I…" Nian Tian looked at the mirror with wide eyes, remembering that she was late, her periods were late and they seldomly used protection.
"Holy...!"

"Can you see this? It\'s your baby." The doctor pointed toward the screen where Nian Tian could see a small blip, which was her baby.
Without wasting any time, Marta had brought her to the doctor who had a small clinic two streets across the apartment of Nian Tian. Now Nian Tian was lying on the bed with gel applied to her stomach.
"Congratulations, you are four weeks pregnant."
Nian Tian looked at her baby with tearful eyes. She was going to have a baby with Mu Yuehan. She felt extremely happy.
"Marta, I am with a baby." She squeezed the hand of Marta.
"This baby is god\'s indication. He wants you to be together with Mu Yuehan, for this baby. It is the symbol of your true love."
Nian Tian nodded her head over tears. Her heart swelled with happiness. She placed her hand over her stomach, feeling motherly love for her baby.
"Doctor, can I travel in a plane?" she asked hopefully.
"Yes, you can. But you will need to take precautions."
Nian Tian nodded. Marta placed her hand on her shoulders, "Don\'t worry. I will accompany you. I can\'t let you travel alone in this condition."
After taking the medicines and prescriptions from the doctor, they left her clinic. Nian Tian was feeling happy and excited, but her happiness was short-lived.
They were on the crossing of her apartment when a black van stopped in front of them. Marta did not know what happened exactly, but she knew, a man came out of the van, wearing all black. He pulled Nian Tian inside the van and then, the van was gone.
It vanished with Nian Tian. It was like that van never existed.
Nian Tian was gone and no one knew where!

Back to present
Mu Yuehan stood up from the floor and roughly removed his tears. He looked at the wall clock to find it was quarter past twelve.
He took a deep breath and looked at the last bottle of untouched whiskey.
\'It\'s not time for me to fall weak. I cannot lose her. Not when I have found her after such a long time.\'
With determination, he walked toward the cellar and placed back the wine bottle. Then, he made his way toward the kitchen. He tore off the packet of curd and gulped it down directly from the pouch, to lessen the effect of drinks from his system.
