"Anna, you already mentioned that it was his pre-marital property. I didn't pay a penny. It doesn't make sense to ask him to add my name to the property certificate. Let's not bring it up."
When she received the certificate, William Zhan handed her the keys to her home, and she could move in immediately. The housing problem was solved, which was already good. She would not ask William Zhan to add her name to the real estate certificate. If he took the initiative to add her name, she wouldn't refuse. As husband and wife, they had decided to live together for the rest of their lives.
Anna Hai had just said that. Knowing that Mila Hai was self-reliant and not greedy for money, she stopped worrying about this issue. After a thorough interrogation by her sister, Mila Hai successfully moved out of Anna Hai's house. Her sister wanted to send her to Minyuan Garden, but her nephew, Ethan Zhou, happened to wake up. When he woke up, he cried and looked for his mother.
"Anna, take care of Ethan first. I don't have many things, so I can just go there by myself."
Anna Hai still had to feed her son. After feeding him, she had to prepare lunch again. If her husband returned from work at noon and the meal wasn't ready, he would scold her for not having anything cooked at home, even though he couldn't cook a meal himself. All in all, she said, "Then be careful on the road. Will you come over for lunch? Call my brother-in-law."
"Sister, I have to go back to the store at noon, but I'll come over. Your brother-in-law is very busy at work. He said he has to go on a business trip in the afternoon. It may take a while before I can bring him over to see my sister."
Mila Hai lied. She didn't know William Zhan, but she had heard from Grandma Zhan that he was swamped. He left early and came back late every day. Sometimes, he had to go on business trips for ten and a half months. She didn't know when he would be free, so she didn't dare to make a promise to her sister and risk breaking it.
"I just got my certificate today, and I have to go on a business trip."
Anna Hai felt that her brother-in-law was not considerate of her sister.
"We just got the certificate and haven't held the wedding yet. If he wants to go on a business trip, he can go. The more he earns, the more places we'll have to spend money in the future. Sister, I'll leave first. You can feed Ethan quickly."
Mila Hai waved goodbye to her sister and nephew, then dragged her suitcase downstairs. She knew about Minyuan Garden but had never been there.
She called a taxi and went straight to Minyuan Garden. After arriving, she remembered forgetting to ask William Zhan which floor his house was on. She hurriedly took out her mobile phone and wanted to call William Zhan, but she didn't know his phone number. Fortunately, they had added each other on WhatsApp, so she made a voice call to him.
William Zhan was in a meeting, and everyone in the conference room had muted their mobile phones. During his session, no one was allowed to take personal calls. He had also muted his cell phone, but he placed it on the table and quickly saw the voice call from Mila Hai. When the couple added each other as friends, William Zhan didn't write down his name. Mila Hai's WhatsApp name was "Mermaid Milly." When he saw that it was someone he didn't recognize, he picked up the phone and dialed her name without even thinking about it.
Then he deleted Mila Hai from his WhatsApp friends. Mila Hai wasn't aware of his series of actions. When she saw that William Zhan didn't answer her voice call, she sent a message instead.
She asked, "Mr. Zhan, I'm in Minyuan Garden now, but I don't know which floor your home is on."
After typing, she clicked send again, realizing that she and William Zhan were no longer extended friends. She stared at her phone in a daze.
"Why aren't we friends anymore? We exchanged WhatsApp messages at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Did I add them by mistake?"
Mila Hai muttered, trying to recall whether she had added the wrong WhatsApp account. She was sure she didn't add the lousy person then. Now that the two weren't friends, there was only one possibility: William Zhan deleted her.
Did he forget that they had just gotten married?
If Mila Hai hadn't moved out of her sister's house, she would have forgotten that she had a husband named William Zhan in two days. Mila Hai called Grandma Zhan instead, and when Grandma Zhan answered the phone, she said, "Grandma, I moved out of my sister's house and am now in Minyuan Garden, but I don't know which floor William Zhan's home is on."
Grandma Zhan was speechless.
"Mila Hai, don't worry, I'll call William now."
Because her old man didn't know either.
To inspect Mila Hai, William Zhan told her that the house and car were all newly bought. She only found out that her eldest grandson had purchased a home in Minyuan Garden after the two received their certificates. After speaking, Grandma Zhan hung up the phone and called William Zhan instead.
But after William Zhan deleted his newlywed wife's WhatsApp account, he returned the phone to the desktop and continued the meeting. Within three minutes, the screen of the phone lit up. Seeing that it was his grandma, he had to answer it.
"Grandma, I'm in a meeting."
William Zhan said in a low voice, "If you have anything, wait until I get home."
"William, what building and floor is the new apartment you bought in Minyuan Garden? Mila Hai moved there, but I don't know which floor it is on. Didn't you add her WhatsApp account? Tell her quickly."
William Zhan raised his eyebrows, oh, he remembered.
He got married today. He married a girl his grandma liked and whom he had never met. She seemed to be named Mila Hai. And he had just deleted his wife's WhatsApp account.
"Grandma, tell her it's on the eighth floor of Building B, number 808."
"That's okay, grandma tells her, you continue to do your work."
The old lady was fickle in her actions. When she got the answer, she hung up and told Mila Hai the result. William Zhan looked at his phone, and after a moment of silence, he sent Mila Hai a friend request again.
Mila Hai didn't care about his behavior of deleting her just now and agreed to his request to add her as a friend.
"I'm sorry, I just forgot who you were."
William Zhan sent a message to Mila Hai to apologize.
Mila Hai saved Grandma Zhan's number. It was Grandma Zhan's sons and daughters-in-law who thanked Mila Hai. When the grandchildren went to the hospital to visit the elderly, Mila Hai wasn't there. Therefore, a busy person like William Zhan couldn't remember Mila Hai.
Even though Grandma often mentioned Mila Hai in front of him, he didn't listen or take it to heart and shouldn't remember Mila Hai's name.
Mila Hai replied, "It's okay, you're busy. I'll move things upstairs."
"Do you need help?"
"I only have a suitcase, and I can carry it upstairs by myself. Besides, if I really need help, can you come back and help me carry it?"
William Zhan answered honestly, "No!"
He was swamped.
How could he go back and help her move when he had time?
Mila Hai gave him a laughing and crying expression, then fell silent and didn't disturb his work again.
William Zhan stopped sending messages. Neither of them understood each other and had nothing to talk about.
William Zhan hoped his wife could be more obedient and not bother him with little things. He didn't have that much time to talk to her.
Putting the phone back on the table, William Zhan looked up and found everyone looking at him.
