Chapter 415 - 396: Helping-III

Guanying raises her eyebrows, and seeing her expression Li Lian spoke, "I know it must sound very disadvantageous for you as I asked you this abruptly without conducting the proper behavior."

"No, no," Guanying stopped Li Lian from talking, "I was not surprised about that, I mean I was but I didn't took it as something bad. Instead I would really like to work with you and to be honest, I called you today also to ask whether you would like to promote my cosmetics, but I don't expect you to say this." To ask Xie Hue Lin to become the model? Guanying would have seen this as a very kind act from Li Lian, wanting to help her younger sister unless she had heard what Xie Hue Lin did to her. 

"It is disadvantageous but the way I see it won't be me who would be affected by it, it would be worse for you. I thought you hated her, but why would you ask her as the model?" Guanying asked again, as if she was trying to confirm what Li Lian said was not her hallucination.

"That's why I planned to do things differently," Li Lian tugged her lips and slowly she revealed her plan to Guanying who was surprised but awed at the same time. 

Far from the restaurant where Guanying and Li Lian was, Li Jun Wei walked out from his car. His expression wasn't exactly the best. After his separation with Li Lian last night, Li Jun Wei didn't slept even for a wink, continuing with his work that was endless.

He went toward his office, where he would take a brief break for ten minutes before moving again with his schedule. "Should I bring the whisky, sir?" asked Li Jun Wei secretary who tried to be as quiet as possible while questioning Li Jun Wei. He knew how the man hadn't sleep and while most of the time emotions don't affect Li Jun Wei much like others did, sleep deprive would make Li Jun Wei more sensitive, and his expression would turn fierce as if he could bite the next person who angered him. 

"No need, close the shutter and you could go back," ordered Li Jun Wei which the secretary obliged to in the speed of light before leaving the room. Making his way to his chair, he then received a message from his phone, opening it Li Jun Wei's eyes narrowed to see the name 'He Chang Min'.

In the message was a picture of a box and a phone which Li Jun Wei learned from Li Lian that it was the things Xie Hue Lin had hid carefully. Li Lian expressed him how she thinks the phone could be crucial and so was the rest of the items inside the box. 

Usually receiving evidence that could help him and Li Lian from danger would have make Li Jun Wei happy, but he couldn't because the man he currently deal with as Li Lian's ex-fiancé, they had broken up in a bad term, nevertheless it boiled Li Jun Wei when he knew He Chang Min had tried to place his dirty hands on his wife. 

The man somewhere still hoped that Li Lian loves him even though there was no more speck of affection Li Lian felt for him. And even though Li Jun Wei had made it clear to He Chang Min about this, unless the man received a very hard waking-slap, it wouldn't seem like anything would stop him.

Li Jun Wei's mind drifted back to the time He Chang Min came after Akasaka Haruhi visited the building. He Chang Min appeared more haggard than the last time Li Jun Wei had seen him, and the reason, Li Jun Wei guessed, the man must have been more pressured to his impending marriage to Xie Hue Lin which clearly He Chang Min didn't appear to be looking forward to that happy day. Li Jun Wei could barely feel any pity to the man. It was the choice He Chang Min made which was foolish and poor tasted. 

"You should begin talking, unless you are here to stare at the air until you could see the particles," Li Jun Wei commented sharply after the long silence. It wasn't him who needed to talk but He Chang Min. "I heard what happened from my wife."

He Chang Min's eyes rose up when Li Jun Wei mentioned Li Lian which only had Li Jun Wei's eyes to narrow deeper. 

Li Jun Wei's expression wasn't good. There would be no man sane enough to still smile toward the man who had tried to steal a kiss from his wife. He was especially in a poor mood after meeting Akasaka Haruhi. And Li Jun Wei also saw no necessity to be kind toward He Chang Min. His eyes were fierce as he stared down at the pathetic man. "I also heard what you tried to do to her while using the situation to your advantage. Was it a kiss that you were going for?" 

"It was an accident-" started He Chang Min but his words were cut off as Li Jun Wei pulled something from his pocket. When he placed the thing he had fished out to the table, a loud clank ring out, the sound was heavy as if a bundle of metal was placed. He Chang Min looked at what he had brought and his eyes widened. It was a gun!

Li Jun Wei's long and slender pale fingers trailed over the barrel of the gun, moving at the trigger as if he was checking whether the gun was fine enough to use now. "Would it also be an accident if you come back home with a hole on your forehead?" Li Jun Wei's eyes turned dark from anger, he could barely control his temperament to pull the trigger instead of threaten this man. 

He Chang Min was silent. No one would believe his word when he said it was an accident and he himself know it wasn't an accident. Upon seeing Li Lian's face, her delicate feature, and her expressive eyes that always gazed at him lovingly close up he couldn't hold the urge to kiss her, even when he knew well that she was married.

If there was anyone who had trusted He Chang Min turning over the new lead, they would be slapped on both right and left cheek. Li Jun Wei had never trusted the man to begin with and he would have been more than glad to pull the trigger and make a hole on the man's head. 

Li Jun Wei pulled the gun to his knees, his eyes seemed as if it had turned calm when in truth it had just begin to raging from anger, "Sadly if I do that, your bride would be crying everywhere, and I don't like to see a woman like her wailing, it would only be more nuisance to the world than it already is." Regardless of his words, the gun was still on his hands.

He Chang Min's complexion turn worse instead of brightening when Xie Hue Lin's name came up. And to hear her becoming his bride made him shiver, as if he was about to be married to a frog.
