Chapter 409 - 390: Keep Out-III

The call seemed to be quite serious as Li Jun Wei who was on the phone sighed once he ended the call. Turning to Li Lian, he rubbed the side of her cheeks, "I'm sorry, something came up at work again."

"Is it something urgent?" Li Lian asked as Li Jun Wei hadn't slept well for the past few days and she was worried about his health.

"Quite so. I will be taking a longer holiday once I have took care of this," Li Jun Wei saw Li Lian bringing her head up and down. With a smile, he leaned forward, kissing her forehead. Before leaving he asked her, "Have you talked with your grandmother since her birthday party?"

Li Lian shook her head, "Grandmother told me she would call me once she is done with the preparation, what's wrong?"

"No, nothing," Lu Jun Wei answered, tucking away the hair to the back of her ears to kiss her forehead once again. It appeared that Grandmother Xie didn't reveal the fact he and Li Lian was in relationship. Li Jun Wei smiled, he knew that the only person in Xie Family who is not only sensible by also love Li Lian as a family was only her. He decided not to tell Li Lian that her grandmother might have noticed the relationship they had, and let until the perfect day to come.

The next day, Li Lian didn't find Li Jun Wei on their bed even though she had woke up quite earlier than before. Did his workload increase because of Haruhi? wondered Li Lian. 

Walking down the stairs, by chance, Li Lian saw Li Xiao Chen stepping outside his room. The little brother hop on his steps as he walked on the hallway while humming to a happy tune of song with lyrics about Koi fishes.

Li Xiao Chen's focus was kept on the music he sang and only notice Li Lian was watching him at the end of the stairs when she waved her hands. "Sister in law! Good morning!"

Li Xiao Chen had been a bright person with a smile and his brimming jolly attitude, today seemed to be sparkling even brighter than usual. "Morning, is it okay for you to jump on your right leg? Doesn't it still hurt?"

"Hurt? No! It's not hurt," he coughed a few time, placing his fist bellow his chin and with a solemn expression stated, "A little pain is gone when one's kind is filled with positive energy and happiness from the bottom of their heart."

With how sudden Li Xiao Chen stating wise words like what most scholar would do early in the morning, Li Lian could only raise her brows. A teasing smile quirk the corner of her lips, "Oh? So you are feeling very happy today? Is it because last night you dreamt of something good?"

Li Xiao Chen laughed, "Yes, a little like that. It was the best dream I ever had!"

"Like a dream where you are under a tree with a beautiful night sky with bright moon and stars sparkling as though the sky is rejoicing for your happiness?"

Li Xiao Chen didn't notice what Li Lian was pulling her to. He was on his best mood that he nodded, "It was a pretty night sky indeed!"

"I see, then perhaps in that dream there are a woman with a beautiful l.u.s.trous black hair, hugging you by the neck, pulling you closer, whispering sweet words next to your ears in a dewy voice?" Li Lian had spoken in a way as though she was reading a poem, nothing out of sort and even melodious that Li Xiao Chen didn't realize that Li Lian was describing the scene she saw last night where she had caught Li Xiao Chen and Violet together in the garden.

"Yes! Her words is beautiful and sweet just like her appearance, that I was even moved by my own restraint...wait, sister in law, how do you know this?" 

Li Lian watched how Li Xiao Chen's expression was filled with shock and awestruck. Li Lian stepped forward placing a hand on his shoulders, "Well, last night a bird chirped this words to me, saying that my little brother in law might have seen a sweet dream like this. Take care of her okay? If you break her heart," Li Lian pulled out one hand with her five fingers spread open before she slowly folded all her fingers into a fist, "You will be answering my best friend over here. Have a good morning."

While watching Li Lian leaving the place, the Koi's eyes and lips open and closed for a few times in succession. How did Li Lian know what he and Violet did last night? "Don't tell me, sister was there the entire time?!"

Leaving the house, Li Lian caught Violet standing beside the car with her eyes looking left and right. "Searching for something, Violet?" Li Lian asked. After seeing Li Xiao Chen and Violet together late at night, she felt as if she had gained some upper hand in teasing the new lovebirds.

Violet's expression was more cool than Li Xiao Chen's, regardless, Li Lian didn't fail to see the slight surprise that flashed on Violet's eyes as if she had been caught red handed. "I was watching the surrounding. It seems safe."

"We are still in the house, of course we would be safe. I was asking whether you are searching for something that you lost, or maybe forget? Because you look like you were searching for something," Li Lian drawled. That night Violet and Li Xiao Chen didn't notice there was a third person who watched them, therefore Violet was conscious of every words Li Lian said, but she didn't doubt Li Lian was fishing information and reactions from her.

Once again the female bodyguard kept her cool, nodding with a strict expression, "You must have mistaken it."

"Maybe," Li Lian shrugged her shoulders, entering the car while Violet enter the front seat of the car.

"Where will we be going, Mistress?" questioned Violet. During each week, Violet would receive schedule a week before the date took place, but this event was not scheduled and was sudden.

"I am going to meet a friend, Hotel Lytt," Li Lian replied with a smile, and while the car moved on its way, Li Lian opened her phone to see all the news the entertainment industry have currently, watching her own picture posted in a few tabloids that spoke about her voice, music, and sometimes looks or the choice of her dress. The stories varied from positive to negative, most negative would try to diss whatever they could take from her. It was a little funny to Li Lian how she didn't find any anger while seeing negative comment from others.

At the time when she was still in Xie Family's house, all words that come from her parents or people around her were negatives. People often say that words are an invisible knife that could wound others which was correct. Li Lian wasn't built strong since childhood. In the beginning, she also felt sad from words that the people say around her which wasn't true, but somewhere along the line she had gotten used to the pain, and such words didn't weigh more than a wind to bother her. 

Reaching to the hottest news, Li Lian's eyes narrowed when she saw the very familiar face of her own sister placed on the first rank of the hottest news.

What exactly did she do this time?
