Chapter 174 - 173: Nuts-II

When Li Lian arrived at the dining room, it wasn't only Li Jun Wei and Li Lian who were on the table and someone had accompanied them in their breakfast. Her eyes looked at the seat that was filled by someone with his back facing her. Seeing how there was two hair swirls behind his back, Li Lian chuckled, she knows whose that head belong to as the back of his head was very similar to Li Jun Wei's.

"Morning." Li Jun Wei greeted, his smile reminded her of the night they slept together just now which made blood rush again.

"Morning." replied Li Lian, a smile spread on her lips.

"Ah! Sister in law!" Li Jun Wei greeted with a fork and spoon on both his left and right hand. "Long time no see!"

"Long time no see? We have just met two days ago," Li Lian laughed at his silly behavior and looked down on the fast foods plated beautifully all over the table and looked at it oddly, "Why are we having a feast in early morning? Was it someone's birthday today?"

Li Lian first looked at Li Jun Wei thinking that he was the one who had prepared the feast as he was the master of the house but to reply, Li Jun Wei angles his chin to point Li Xiao Chen and Li Lian shifted her gaze to him.

"This? Ah, this was a celebration feast." replied Li Xiao Chen cheerfully, his time bouncing one over another.

"A celebration? Whose and for what?" Li Lian didn't remember there was something worth to celebrate in early morning.

Li Xiao Chen was about to answer with a ton of his mouthful words and was also about to fill his complains of the marriage meeting he had to attend every one hour before Li Jun Wei interjected, "Tell her, Li Xiao Chen. Whose and what is this celebration is for?"

It was rare for his brother to ever call him by his full name and when he did, it could only alarm him that his brother's temper was about to touch the ceiling.

"You also didn't know?" Li Lian asked, to find Li Jun Wei smile instead of replying. Then she looked toward Li Xiao Chen her face urging him to reply.

Seeing that he couldn't veer the conversation, Li Xiao Chen moved his eyes away and smiled, "It's sister in law's celebration!"

"Mine?" Li Lian c.o.c.ked her head to the side, her smile was bright and delighted which made Li Xiao Chen felt a prickle on his heart for lying to her.

"But why? I don't think I did something worth to be celebrated of?"

"Of course you did! I've heard from my assistant that your debuting date had been set!" he replied, in truth he didn't know but for he did remember his assistant saying something to him regarding Li Lian's debut date had been set which wasn't a lie.

"Really?!" Li Lian exclaimed almost getting up from her seat. As a singer, she was very happy to be able to debut. Being a singer was her dream but there was the time where she was unable to because of her situations.

"Yes, of course yes!" So that they wouldn't stay in the same topic, Li Xiao Chen fork up the largest chicken piece which he had wanted to save for himself and placed toward Li Lian's plate.

"This is delicious and this one is too! Let's eat else we would be late!" Li Xiao Chen pushed a couple of food to Li Lian's plate and to not forget, his brother too. Though when he was about to fill his plate, Li Xiao Chen looked up to see her brother's eyes growing stale. Retracting the chicken leg he was about to place to Li Jun Wei's plate, he took a wide bite to the chicken legs. He really shouldn't do this again next time, thought Li Xiao Chen but as his little brother, he couldn't stop teasing Li Jun Wei which perhaps he should stop soon.

The maids were standing outside the corridor where they were, all of them having an odd look one toward each other. In the early morning when the kitchen maid wake up to began peeling the vegetables they needed for the breakfast ingredients, she found the kitchen was ransacked and let out a scream which frightened both the housekeeper whose room was near to the kitchen. And to the point, the thief who ransacked the kitchen was still unable to be find which let a rumor to cross amongst the place.

"I really saw it with my own to eyes that the kitchen was ransacked! Everything was scattering and most of them were fruits and nuts!" Said the maid who was first to come at the scene in the kitchen with a dramatic sound.

"What do you think it could be?" the other maid named Fu Er whispered.

"Perhaps an animal? Like a rat?" Asked the other maid whose hair was tied in a high bun, named Xue.

"I don't think a rat could ever come into the house," replied the maid who has spoken first. Bo Shiao, the servant boy who had a very busy time this early morning passed by the corridor where the maids where crowding at and by chance overheard their conversation. Instead of stopping them, Bo Shiao opened his ears wide to hear their conversation

Xue then narrowed her eyes to say, "Perhaps don't you think it is someone amongst the maid?"

"Don't be stupid!" said Fu Er. "There is only seven maids in this house now and three male servants and they have worked with the master for a long time, I don't think they would do anything low such as stealing food from the kitchen.

"That's true." the other maid whispered.

Bo Shiao narrowed his eyes, guessing that the maids were talking about the incident this morning but then he was also curious who had eaten the fruits and nuts in the kitchen, perhaps a ghost? Thinking of a ghost, he then recalled the threaten he received from the female bodyguard who called herself as Violet and shook his head all around if he didn't come by her way, they wouldn't meet in this large house thought Bo Shiao but when a devil's name was called they appeared and it was soon that he learned of it.
