Chapter 309 - 290: Night Shades-III

"Okay, hold on me." said Li Jun Wei and Li Lian heard a sound of clip cloping beside them to see Linyue had pulled the mare and started to walk casually around the place.

When it was her turn to leave and gallop, Linyue rode the horse and had it run along the track. Watching Linyue's confidence had Li Lian to be awed by the woman who can control the mare that was large although not much larger than Li Jun Wei's stallion.

Li Jun Wei tapped his leg to have the stallion to walk, the shoes clicked on the ground before slowly from walking, it starts to fasten the speed but not too fast that could startled Li Lian.

"I saw your pictures, the albums." added Li Lian as she felt her hair brushed against the wind the once loud sounding shoes of the horse had turned mild to her ears as she got used to the sound.

"You did." Li Jun Wei asserted, "I guess you have also seen the large picture of my family." Li Lian couldn't see his expression but she noticed no sadness or gloom from his words but rather a calm one.

"From my way to the sitting room, I saw the portrait. You were still young." Now that

Li Lian recalled the picture she did saw another boy which was Jin Suzheng standing on the far left corner while Li Jun Wei stood in the middle. "Does Suzheng doesn't like you?" she asked with curiosity.

"He just wish the position I have but nothing had ever been his and the fact frustrated him." Li Jun Wei's words were on point despite sounding to be stabbing to others.

Li Lian saw how Linyue was already in the advance track, jumping along with the horse that Li Lian wasn't confident in and she hope they wouldn't go there.

She continued, "I saw many odd things from the albums. Is there someone who took the picture for the album?"

"Grandmother said it was her and grandfather." replied Li Jun Wei. He never watch the album as he had no interest in it. He only heard and repeated the words his grandmother said that now felt like a bunch of lies to him.

"But it's odd for the the person who took the picture to be inside the picture. There was this one picture of you where you were playing with wooden blocks, your grandmother and grandfather was beside you even if their faces wasn't shown in the picture." Li Lian confided the informations and slowly Li Jun Wei's eyes narrowed. "It didn't seem like they used anything to time while taking the picture. It was taken in surprise."

Li Jun Wei's hand on the reins tightened he hadn't said anything until the horse that were galloping turn their body, raising the front legs briefly that had Li Lian to gasped in surprise when she felt her bottom moving back to what was between Li Jun Wei's legs.

When the horse were back on the ground, Li Lian covered her face which had turned red. Her cheeks felt like a burning flame and the more she tried to pull her thought away, she could feel how her bottom had grown conscious with the man behind her.

"Is there anything else you found?" asked Li Jun Wei to her.

Li Lian cleared her throat, "Uh, yes. There was also that between the second and third album there was pictures that were missing even though they could have gathered the pictures together. It could be coincidence. But the last picture taken of you was two months before the accident when I was kidnapped."

On the words the horse stopped galloping abruptly, having the back leg of the horse to raise. She saw his hand removed from reins, "Wait Li Lei, don't let it go!" Li Lian held the rein on his stead to feel him turning her shoulder so her face could meet his.

"Two months prior your accident?" asked Li Jun Wei for confirmation and Li Lian nod. He narrowed his eyes. Again the coincidences was too much to be called as one. The disappearance of the pictures in albums. If it was someone else who had said the facts, Li Jun Wei would perhaps have a harder time in believing his grandparents had lied to him.

Out of all the family members, he believed only his grandparents wouldn't lie or betray him as there was no benefits to come from lying from him. But his question he had asked in the hospital, the evidences that slowly piled in front of his eyes. It would be dumb for him to still believe his grandparents didn't hide anything,

His expression turned a few hues darker, "When did your accident happened?" He asked her and his hand slipped again to her waist. Instead of having Li Lian to release the rein, Li Jun Wei covered his palm over her.

"Around December." she replied, letting the year unnoticed as Li Jun Wei knew when it happened.

"Do you want to try and jump?" Li Jun Wei then asked, surprising Li Lian. Now that her body had moved to see what's in front, she could study his expression and to guess by his voice was still a hurdle for her.

"Where? If it is with the horse, please don't." said Li Lian with her voice weaker. She wasn't ready to jump with the horse over the wooden hurdles placed in the tracks which didn't seem to look short.

"Don't worry, we would be able to." He said and before she could say more, Li Lian felt his large hand, the slender hands that were enveloping her felt not too smooth and that only made him manlier.

When his shirt sleeve that was long slightly folded she gazed at his right arm and his voice falling on her nape brushed her to stir her up, "Are you ready?"

"I am not." replied Li Lian but the stallion began to gallop toward the tracks. "Wait! Jun Wei didn't I say I'm not!" Li Jun Wei didn't reply and Li Lian was sure that he was smiling right now!
