Chapter 143 - 139: Xie Family’s Birthday Invitation

It was a normal thing for a husband and wife to share a bedroom and Li Lian also want to share a bedroom with him. It was her first time to experience the invitation and it made her gulp but Li Jun Wei have no intention on having her go easily from his hand. "Tomorrow." Li Lian said in a determined voice. She can't promise now because her heart had made all the blood on her body rushed and she was afraid if she sleep beside him now, she wouldn't be able to have a good sleep without having her heart bursting.

He didn't expect her to say soon but wasn't displeased by her words. In contrary, he was happy. He bent his neck to kiss her lips and had his hand over her shoulder. "I can't wait." He whispered with expectation.

Li Lian walked out of the room while covering her cheeks with her hands. Her face felt hot on contrary to her hand. Touching her lips, she could still feel the vivid texture of his lips and bite her lower lips. Walking to her room which was only a few steps away from him, her smile could never fade from her lips.

At the same night in He Family, He Chang Min had a distorted expression. The day after he learn of Li Lian's true identity, he couldn't work and muster his energy to do any work he had. He took a seat on his couch and exhaled a burdened sigh. Was everything he did was futile? His life was filled with nothing but mistakes and now he had done a great mistake that even time wouldn't be able to help him.

Just then, his phone began to rang. He glanced to see Xie Hue Lin name and took the phone after a sigh, "Hue Lin?"

"Min-Ge?" Xie Hue Lin made a pitiful voice which broke a little as she trailed. Noticing the long pause after her greeting, He Chang Min ask in concern, "Hue Lin? What's wrong?"

"Min-Ge, today my friend was attending a party." She whispered. "I don't want to believe her words but she brought Jie-Jie and show me a picture, so I don't think it's a lie." He words befuddled him but when the name of Li Lian was mentioned, he rose from his lacking position almost standing up from his couch. "Calm down, Hue Lin what are you saying?"

"There was a part hosted by Li Family and jie-jie was there as a guest." This few words were easy for He Chang Min to understand and frowned. Li Family is a prominent family and it was hard to imagine for someone like Li Lian to come into the party when even his family or Xie Family could never receive such an honor. "Then, this friend of mind sent me this picture. It was a picture of Jie-jie and a man. My friend said she came to the party as the man's escort." Her words trailed again to allude her meaning.

Acting as a naive white lotus was her forte and it was easy for her to point her words to where she wanted without saying it aloud. And like always, he act fell through He Chang Min's guard, "An escort?" His voice deepened and Xie Hue Lin instead furrowed her brows.

"Min-Ge, do you still like Jie-jie?" She began to let a heartbroken sigh over her lips, trying to hold back her sobbing.

"Of course not." He Chang Min responded fast, "she is your sister and of course I'm worried about her as her old friend."

Xie Hue Lin pulled a wide twisted grin. "I don't know who I should talk to and I don't want to suspect jie-jie but for her to invite herself into the party alone is almost impossible. Yesterday too, I heard she received the OST for the movie I auditioned. I don't know if Jie-jie is doing this out of spite but I don't want her to continue and pursue this path if she want to take a revenge to me." she sobbed and cried. "Min-ge, what should I do?"

"Calm down, Hue Lin don't cry." He coaxed her gently.

"But, Grandmother missed jie-jie dearly as her birthday is near I want to invite jie-jie but I don't know if jie-jie will ever talk to me." She sounded bewildered and lost. If one ever come pass by her, they would sob along her story like a bullied girl by her evil older sister.

"Don't worry Hue Lin." He Chang Min assured her gently. "I will try to talk to her again. Go and take a rest, Hue Lin. You're busy to promote your new song, aren't you? Don't think too much or else you will only harm your health."

"But-"

"Shush, go to sleep now, I will wait until you sleep." Xie Hue Lin couldn't hide her excitement and went to her bed. That night, she slept peacefully and He Chang !in only did end his call after she slept. He recalled he also used to call Li Lian at night at the beginning when he was studying abroad. At that time, they were happy and in love with each other but now more than Xie Hue Lin he was at lost.

When he was still abroad, he found out that he was chased by group of men from the mafia. He wondered why and did a through research only to find out that his father had once made a contract with the Yakuza in letting him marry his daughter, only until then did he realized his mother came from a Yakuza Family. Since his childhood, he had known his mother was not from a normal family but he never expected her to come from a Yakuza Family.

Thinking that he was chased by the Yakuza, he broke his engagement with Li Lian, to protect her from the people who was chasing him and also to take responsibility of taking Xie Hue Lin's first time when he fell drunk. Yet now everything finally make sense to him, if Li Lian was the granddaughter of a Yakuza Family, it made sense why the men chased him. They wanted to take Li Lian who was the target and not him.

He regretted the time when he should have been there by her side to protect her and not leaving her alone. Was the car accident happen because of him? Because he failed to save her? The choice of breaking his engagement. Everything was wrong. Knocking his head to the surface of his desk, He Chang Min thought of how he could ever contact Li Lian again and took his phone to call his secretary. "Search for a Singer by the name of Yue Li Lian."

"What should I search from this singer, Mr. He?"

"Her agency." He replied.
