Chapter 291 - 292: Sparks-II

Jin Nu Yuan blinked once before twice, catching the sight of Li Lian, her hand clenched tighter. She had only meant the words she said so she would have her picture taken too at the family, a new one where she would be there as every time she entered the house, she saw the picture with regret that she wasn't born earlier.

Mrs. Jin hold her daughter's hand to stop her from ruining any atmosphere and spoke, "Of course Nu Yuan have her own picture in the house, she just wish to have her picture taken in the family painting, as you know that painting is for the closest family. She had kept quiet the entire time, but she wished to be there too."

Li Jun Wei gave his aunt a nod, "Aunt Jin doted on Nu Yuan a lot. I could see your reason for moving the portrait even when I told you not to."

"I didn't move the portrait. How would I? It's the only picture where my cousin and his wife is still alive, getting it removed would mean disrespecting them who are gone." replied Mrs. Jin in concern and as they had talked of a different matter, she used the change to shift the topic of the talk, "Your father and mother would be very happy if they are able to meet Li Lian. I remember how they wish to have a grandson. My aunt would also be happy to have her great grandson soon."

Jin Nu Yuan's hand on her mother's hold slightly moved, her eyes widened in alarm. Was she hearing right that her mother is suggesting Li Lian and Li Jun Wei to have children soon? Her mother had told her of how she is trying to have another woman to be the third person in Li Lian's and Li Jun Wei's marriage so soon they could have the ties they need to control the family. If there is a children, wouldn't it only decrease the chance for Li Jun Wei to divorce Li Lian?

"How long have you been married again?" Mrs. Jin asked boldly, her eyes now falling not to Li Jun Wei but Li Lian who was beside Li Jun Wei. "Has it passed five or six months? It wouldn't be good if you two hold the process of having a child. I would want to see your children soon."

"There are still days far ahead us. We still want to enjoy our days together," Li Jun Wei replied, his eyes moving to Li Lian with his smile at her, "When we are ready, we could have a house filled with little ones."

The words he said was while staring back at her eyes, making her cheeks to burns red. A happy smile came on her lips to know that Li Jun Wei had think far more about their future together. Li Jun Wei's children, they must be pretty, thought Li Lian to herself.

Mrs. Jin laughed, "There is time but you know time isn't everlasting, some times it is cut short and you wouldn't know how fast time would be. If you deny one year, the second year, and continuously you two would be old and soon the ability to have child would be hard for an older woman." The woman directed the words at Li Lian, "You wouldn't want to have words and whispers questioning Li Lian either."

Li Lian heard the apparent warning and threats Mrs. Jin tell on her words. One of it sounds odd to Li Lian that she could not help herself but stress her point at the beginning of Mrs. Jin's words as it sounded almost like a death threat she subtly put on her words.

"Rumors are indeed not good." Jin Nu Yuan chided in spite, "If there are rumors surfacing Li Lian can't have children and is infertile it would place our family's image in the worse light."

Li Jun Wei hadn't taken the matter lightly, his eyes narrowed down on both mother and daughter who didn't know when to hit the brake on their own mouths, keeping it running with unnecessary words. "Baseless rumors that you believe in, should I say that I expected or not expecting this from you, aunt Jin?" Li Jun Wei stopped his movements, his eyes that were now looking at his aunt turned cold.

"Last time I had heard from grandmother you brought up Li Lian's past and now about Li Lian being infertile which is not true. I am expecting if your next baseless rumors, what would it be? That I died or perhaps something close to it?" He asked, his tone riled with subtle threats that were never void.

Mrs. Jin was startled by Li Jun Wei's sudden change in emotions, anger could be clearly seen from his eyes that reminded Mrs. Jin of her daughter words when she came back after her wish being rejected by Li Jun Wei. She forgot how much words her could trigger Li Jun Wei angers, "I stated what could be possible, I'm sorry if I offended you two, but this is my worry and responsible as the elder of the house."

"Your responsibility, Aunt Jin, is to keep yourself in check and Nu Yuan. In case of something happen." Li Jun Wei uttered and it stopped Mrs. Jin's smile for a moment that her eyes looking at her nephew now was with contempt.

"You like to joke." Mrs. Jin said, her words falling to be toneless.

"It will be a joke if you like to take but one day it could also be not." Li Jun Wei will not let anyone to condescend Li Lian whether it be anyone outside of their family, his aunt, or his relatives. He could dismiss the words but when Li Lian is involved he wouldn't stay low to threaten Mrs. Jin who tried to defamed Li Lian.

Li Jun Wei took the expression his aunt made that was smiling in contrast to her inward burning anger and declared. "There had been no rumors alike about Li Lian being infertile as she isn't. If one day there come a wind to my ears that stated she is infertile, I should know who had started the rumors."
