Chapter 3 I’ve Changed My Mind
Xie Zhang's eyes widened in disbelief, "No way, boss, you can't be expecting me to walk back, can you? I can't take a taxi, I have mysophobia! I..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the Maybach had already vanished into the thin mist of rain.
Xie Zhang stood rooted to the spot, wracking his brain but unable to comprehend the temper this ancestor had just shown on returning to the country.
Bian Yue went to the Mazu Temple to offer incense and kneel in prayer, but after a long time, she still wasn't sure what to pray for and ended up taking a long walk alone by the seaside until dusk fell.
Hong Kong Island is hilly, and the Li Family's ancestral home is built on a mountain in the Central and Western District, where land is gold; overlooking the undulating coastline and the patchy lights of Hong Kong Island.
By the time Bian Yue got home, the sky had completely darkened.
Li Sihe was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his back to her.
He was wearing a simple white shirt tonight, just like the first time Bian Yue saw him at the age of 16.
But now, he had a maturity and rigor that the young him did not possess, with his sleeves fastened by armbands, and the glow of his wristwatch cold. The light coated him in a layer of gentle luminescence, a very faint color.
Others, seeing him for the first time, might think Li Sihe is a refined gentleman, but only Bian Yue could discern his indifferent rationality beneath the veneer of gentleness.
Bian Yue's eyes felt inexplicably sore, and she sat down on the nearby sofa.
