Chapter 336 - 317: Kiss On Cheek-I

Li Lian walked beside Zi Lingyu, the smile set on her lips didn't disappear but there was a certain distance the maid and Zi Lingyu felt that they were unable to say anything as Li Lian lead the group.

When the maid look at the hallways and took note of where they were going, she voiced out her words, "Mistress, the washroom is-"

"Over there," completed Li Lian, pointing her hand to the other side of the washroom the maid originally thought to say.

"There is a nearer washroom, mistress." The maid spoke. If it was other family members she would have been scared this peak but Li Lian, thought the maid herself was the same as them who was born in the lower case.

"Do you think I don't know?" Li Lian asked and the maid's face turned to shock, not expecting that Li Lian would cut her words. Li Lian could tell the moment the maid use the curt tone to her of how internally the maid had looked down on her.

As much as Li Lian hate to flaunt her position to turn like Mrs. Jin or Jin Nu Yuan, she wouldn't let herself be disrespected either. Especially when in this house, it wasn't only her name she was holding but Li Jun Wei's. Li Lian wouldn't want them looking down on her, thinking that she was some wolf without claws.

"The place there are far and smaller when we need to have Ms. Zi change into a better clothing. Ask other to prepare a dress that in in the size of Ms. Zi, a dress would be fine with you?" asked Li Lian, her eyes now stopped at Zi Lingyu.

"That would be fine, thank you," replied Zi Lingyu to see the maid. They both didn't move and the maid was confused whether she should leave Zi Lingyu's side or stay there. She was told to be the ears and was assigned to overhear Li Lian's words but if she go now, she wouldn't hear the conversation taking place.

Li Lian's eyes fell on the maid who didn't move a step away from where she was standing. "Should I go?" she asked to have the maid quickly shake her head, bowing before she left to do what Li Lian requested her for.

With the man gone, Li Lian turned her face to Zi Lingyu, a smile on her lips. "Shall we go?" and the two women left the place. Both of them began to walk, Zi Lingyu had to walk slower because Li Lian who was threading very small steps. Not knowing where the washroom was, Zi Lingyu couldn't fasten her steps and followed her from behind.

Turning her head, Li Lian then stared at the woman who looked back at her. She first drew her brows. "Your hair," started Li Lian that had Zi Lingyu startled at the mention. "There's something on the top of your head."

Zi Lingyu brought her hands as quickly over her head, trying to remove whatever Li Lian told her had stayed on the top of her head, brushing it away when she noticed Li Lian still looked at her with her brows furrowed. Li Lian stopped her walk, "No, not there. Could I help you?"

"Please," Zi Lingyu requested with a smile and Li Lian raised her hand pulling the few strands very lightly when she frowned. 

"I don't think it's something I could remove." Li Lian said as she brought her hands to set beside her. She looked at the woman smiling, "I thought there was something in brown color on the top of your head. I didn't know that brown was your real hair color. Did you color your hair to black?" and Li Lian turned her back to the woman, walking.

Zi Lingyu covered her head, her eyes widening. She had just colored her hair two days ago and her root had began to dye back? She stared at Li Lian, fortunately it didn't seem like the woman mind anything. 

"I thought black would suit me better," replied Zi Lingyu and Li Lian turned her face, looking at her.

"I think you are correct. It would surely look better if you color your hair black but perhaps you should cut your hair short, it would look better on you," advised Li Lian.

Zi Lingyu shook her head, "I feel more comfortable with my long hair. If I cut short, I will feel like I miss something." Li Lian hummed on her words, bringing her head up and down as if agreeing.

"Here we are." Li Lian announced once they arrived in the washroom she had lead Zi Lingyu to. "I will wait outside. You can call me if there is any problem."

Zi Lingyu didn't know how to respond to Li Lian's words. She was only instructed to make as less contact with Li Lian as possible. She mumbled a thank you and the sweet smile to Li Lian before entering the washroom.

Li Lian watched the door close and turned her back, pulling her phone she noted the time. In less than three minutes thought Li Lian to herself.

Zi Lingyu was unaware of the thought Li Lian had outside the washroom and she made way to the sink, her face frowning on the mirror to check if her root had turned to brown color again which was her natural color only to find that her root was still dark black. 

Then why Li Lian had told her that her color had turned brown? No, thinking twice, Li Lian didn't tell her that her brown colored hair had began to show again. The woman only asked and she readily replied!

Zi Lingyu only thought that she needed to go from this place, avoiding to be with Li Lian personally without Mrs. Jin's words of instruction. She wasn't someone who was smart enough to lie or hide her lie with slyness. Facing Li Lian, Zi Lingyu could only think that it would be dangerous.

The woman quickly, turned the faucet on, by pushing the tap up when a burst of water splashed over her face.

"Ahhh!!!" 

The sound of the scream came and Li Lian noted how she was correct in three minutes, the woman had screamed.
