Chapter 83 - romance mission 101

Liam didn't mind his annoying friend's prattle as he always says the same thing over and over again. As he got out from the shower, Jace was still listlessly lying on the sofa. Since he felt a bit refreshed by the great clean-up, he prepared a tea himself then sat in front of his longtime friend bringing the aromatic refreshment.

"Li, we should save our dear Alex. I think they kick it off that night." Jace mumbles.

"Hmm." Liam lifelessly nodded in agreement, however, his appearance tells the other party otherwise.

"Don't hmm me, Li. I'm serious. Ah! By the way, why did you call off your engagement? I bet the Mo family are very very angry!" hopping to another topic as Jace Lee remembers his friend recent 'break up', he pried.

"We compensated them." Liam Jin honestly answered. He hadn't had a chance to catch up with his friends under his hectic schedule and been busy pursuing his princess.

"Oh, I thought you really like the girl."

Liam's mood instantly lift up as he was reminded of Seraphina's bright smile with her dimple showing. Her innocent face -- he misses it. After all, it's been a few days since he last saw her because of their busy schedule. He unconsciously smiles just being reminded of the only girl he wanted.

"Woah, Woah, what is that smile?! Don't tell me you really like that girl?" Jace was in disbelief seeing him smile like an idiot all of a sudden.

Liam was known as a pure man which made Jace suspicious if he was gay or not. Although he'd been set up to many blind dates, he never saw him being interested in any of them. Also, although he had fiance before, he never had seen him being this gentle and have this lovey-dovey grin.

"I like someone for a long time-- not Nathalie but someone else." he confessed.

"OMG! Who is this lucky girl? Damn, I need to meet her! Hey hey! Where are you going?" Seeing Liam wordlessly stood up and seemingly departing as he said his piece.

Jace immediately sprinted following his dear friend as he is a busy body and knew that this good fellow would probably go to the love of his life. He envisions the girl's appearance and demeanor as a 'super pure and kind goddess' since he magically grabs Liam's amiable heart.

As both of them leaving the premises, Liam halted as his gaze softens even more. Following his gaze, Jace turned his investigative eyes toward the same direction. All he saw was a woman affectionately clinging arms with an old man.

He gasped in disbelief seeing her, again. As he was in panic how to avoid this deranged girl, Liam took elegant strides toward her direction.

Sensing that someone is approaching them, Seraphina turned her head to that certain someone's direction. All she saw was Liam's elegant figure imposing of the king of purity; an imaginary sparkle surrounded this prince in disguise. The dark circle around his eyes probably due to his exhausting job still wasn't enough to conceal his beauty. Liam slightly bowed showing respect towards Sebastian Yue then smiled tenderly to her.

"Chairman Yue, how's your check-up?" he inquired as he assumed that it was Sebastian Yue's regular check-up. Although for some reason, he was also baffled to why would he wanted to visit their hospital instead of inviting the doctor over their manor. Regardless, he doesn't have the right to pry as he respected the Old man Yue's decision and actions.

"Young Jin! Haha! This Old man is fine! Ah, why don't you come over to our house for dinner?" Sebastian Yue not beating around the bush invited him right off the bat. The corner of Seraphina's lips twitches by the sudden invitation.

'Damn! Gramps is serious about this romance mission!' she thought inwardly.

Noticing the man few meters away from them with his bulging eyes in disbelief and his mouth wide open as he gasps. Seraphina mildly smirks to the man as both Liam and Sebastian Yue was conversing not noticing her mischievous grin towards Jace Lee.

"Alright, Seffy why don't you wait for Liam?" Sebastian Yue's tone was so obvious causing her eyes to twitch even more.

"Gramps…" she wanted to oppose him by finding an excuse, however, before she could do so, Old man Yue interrupted her as if he knew her concerns.

"I am alright. Don't worry about me so much, silly. I'll see you at dinner." with his last note, Sebastian Yue as if regained his full vigor and vitality immediately hitch at his car then it sped away without delay.

'Now, I'm suspicious if he is truly ill or not.' she thought. Collecting her thoughts, she turned to Liam showing her awkward smile.

"Eh --"

Before Seraphina's words could slip from her mouth, she was once again interrupted by a protesting voice behind Liam.

"Hey, Hey, Hey!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Liam turned his head to see Jace's skeptical look on his face. It was as if he'd seen a ghost. Furrowing his brows in confusion, he tilted his head, puzzled.

"Li! She's the one I'm talking about!"

"Li?" she questioned by his cute nickname.

"Talking about what?" Liam asked in his usual gentle tone.

"This! She's the one who injured me!" Jace raised his hand showing his casted wrist, then he continued.

"Don't be fooled by her innocent face! If -- Hey, stop acting cute and innocent!" he was suddenly distracted by her feign innocence act on the side.

"Doctor~, who is he?" she asked in a rather low stainless tone.

"Sera, this is Jace, my friend. Jace this is Sera, the one I was talking about." Liam courteously introduced as his attention was diverted to Seraphina's question and didn't bother Jace's nonsense blabber.

"Oh, Hi Jace, nice meeting you" she smiled as she offered her hand in a handshake, alas, Jace was in more incredulous by her 360-degree change of persona.

"Nice meeting me? You were with me just a moments ago!" he accused instantly.

"Jace Lee!" Liam Jin warned by his rude attitude. On the other hand, Seraphina tilted her head looking puzzled by his accusations.

"Me? I think you got the wrong person? Are you drunk perhaps?"

"You… Li! Don't believe her!"

"Jace, I can't believe you are saying this right now." Liam was disappointed with him. Although he knew him and always acts on impulse, he couldn't hide his disp_l_e_a_s_u_r_e.

It was alright if it was another girl -- he would totally not complain and probably use his accusations to reject the girl, alas, it was his first and current love. How can he tolerate such allegations towards the girl he was pursuing?

"It's fine, doctor~. Jace, I truly apologize for you have mistaken me for someone else but nice meeting you. We still have a date. Doctor~ shall we?" sounding magnanimous in front of him without batting an eye, Jace gasp by her award-winning act. Liam shot him a never before seen warning glare as he spoke.

"We'll talk some other time."
