Chapter 267 - 267: Glee Over Fear-I

It was hard to find a good light from Wei Tsui Lan with how he had kept himself secretive and Li Lian didn't want to find his good light. He knew her, thought Li Lian but until how much?

"I do." Wei Tsui Lan replied, "Not as acquaintance but someone who just heard rumors, words, and seen you once through picture. You are famous, Miss Li Lian." Not for a good reason added Li Lian in her mind at the man who took the drink and took a few gulps before looking back at her. "I forget to tell you, look over there." Wei Tsui Lan pointed his finger at one woman who had a long black straight hair in a light red dress.

"Do you know who she is?" he asked and Li Lian narrowed her eyes carefully at him.

"No." and she continued to ask, "How do you know-"

"Miss, it's been a long time since we met each other, do you remember me?" asked Wei Tsui Lan when he had made his quick way toward the same woman he pointed earlier. On his hand was a drink he had brought that was new.

Li Lian saw how he had began to talk at the woman and reasserted her thought. Maybe she had thought it wrong. The man is just interested in what he wanted to know and intrigued him which is good if Li Lian was correct as she had too many questions surrounding him.

"Next time, I should bring him away, Miss," said Violet calling her miss instead of mistress as they were out now.

"Please." Li Lian encouraged yet as soon as she thought that he wouldn't be back, Wei Tsui Lan had held hand with the woman he talked with earlier and bring her to the seat next to where he was sitting at before.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't understand please repeat it once again." said the woman in broken english to Wei Tsui Lan and he appeared to be in trouble.

Li Lian stood from her seat about to go since Wei Tsui Lan didn't seem to be wanting to leave but then the woman spoke in a language that was very familiar to Li Lian, Japanese. Her head turned at the sound. She was surprised to ever hear the language to be spoken suddenly beside her ears.

"I lost something here... uh," The woman was in a trouble to speak and Li Lian carefully approach the woman.

"What may you be searching for?" Li Lian asked in Japanese and the woman brighten a smile at her.

"I'm looking for my pouch, I left it in the washroom but it disappeared by the time that I came." replied the woman with a nervous tone of loosing her pouch where all her important things are inside.

"I think it would be better if you ask the reception or the cleaner, they should be able to help." and at her reply the woman still looked nervous at her. Li Lian could tell that because the woman isn't able to speak Chinese of English, she was afraid that her words would fail to be understood. Standing from her seat, Li Lian went to find a person who work in the hotel and requested him to help the woman. When everything have been sorted out, she stood near a pillar and turned her body to meet Wei Tsui Lan's smiling face.

"This is your last chance." Li Lian frowned and crossed her hand above her chest. "Out with it. What do you want?"

"Nothing." Wei Tsui Lan raised his hand as if showing his innocent. "I could tell you are good at Japanese."

"I took the course in high school." Li Lian replied and she walked to the place where there were lesser people with Violet following near her and Wei Tsui Lan a few steps behind them.

Wei Tsui Lan hummed at her words, "That is all how you learn Japanese? High school in the countryside is even better than here in town."

"You know much about me." Li Lian didn't beat the bush like how he did and spoke in Japanese. She knew something was fishy here and Wei Tsui Lan didn't hide himself from being secretive. He was being secretive so Li Lian would be more interested with him but Li Lian had no time to waste and be interested in him. When he had brought the woman to her, she could tell that it was only his way to proof that she could speak Japanese.

"You also know what I'm thinking." replied Wei Tsui Lan in Japanese and in a second, the atmosphere became heavy and taut in the corridor where they walked on. Wei Tsui Lan didn't stop following Li Lian and she didn't stop herself from walking to place where there were lesser people.

When Li Lian took a left turn, Wei Tsui Lan followed, turning his feet to turn on the left turn when his eyes stopped to see Li Lian had stopped walking to wait for him to come. Li Lian who had waited for him, raised her hand to grab Wei Tsui Lan's collar, she pulled and pushed the man's back to the wall.

"Do you think I didn't know what you were planning by bringing the lady?" Li Lian glared at Wei Tsui Lan who as if he had voluntary to be pressed on the wall. There was no surprise on Wei Tsui Lan's but rather glee.

Wei Tsui Lan smiled, not even trying to release Li Lian's hand from his collar, "I remember there was this one rumor about you on how you protected your sister by flipping a man's body to the ground. This is the rumor that had least attention because people could never suspect a woman could push a man to the ground alone. No offense."

"And you don't believe it?"

"And I believe it." Wei Tsui Lan corrected. "Seeing how you could push me here by one hand, I believe you could also do that."
