Chapter 129 - 125: Two Peas In a Pod
"Remember the times when they were children? Nu Yuan always seek out for Jun Wei for hours whenever she visits the main house and would cry each time she had to go back home." Li Lian wondered why she would bring up the past but didn’t think deeply about her words.
"That was when I was still a child, mother!" Jin Nu Yuan pouted her lips.
"While we are on this topic, have you find any men that caught your attention?" Li Rin Zu queried again for rumor and this piqued Li Lian’s interest.
"Not yet!" Jin Nu Yuan quickly rebuked. Li Lian had been silently seeing their expression as she can’t speak in between their personal exchanges. At the time when Jin Nu Yuan was asked by the question and when she denied the question, her eyes instantly fell on Li Jun Wei. The expression she had was the one that was afraid of misunderstanding.
"But do you remember, Jun Wei when you two were still young? One day when you were playing the cats near the garden with Nu Yuan, you mistook her for a cat and said that she looks very similar to the cat." Li Jun Wei’s eyes shifted from his uncle. "Did that happen?" Even though he was sure he could have remembered his childhood, this one he can’t remember.
"It must have been a joke." Li Nu Yuan defended.
"No, no, I remember clearly that he said that the two were similar because they are adorable." Mrs. Jin ended her words with a laugh that was followed by Li Rin Zu. Li Lian who felt slowly becoming the odd one out of the family’s discussion fell silent. Not that she was jealous of Jin Nu Yuan but she was a little confused by why Mrs. Jin keeps on alluding something along with her conversation.
"I don’t really remember that happen." Li Jun Wei stated firmly, hinting Mrs. Jin to stop with her words but the woman seemed to be either ignoring his hint or was persistent with her words.
"Well, we can’t blame you for not remembering it. After all, that time about ten years ago, maybe? You were in an accident so perhaps it was the side effect-"
"Alright, alright, we should keep our reminiscent of the past until here." Li Huian stopped Mrs. Jin from continuing on her pace.
Accident? Li Lian rose her eyebrows curiously. She had told Li Jun Wei of her past but they hadn’t held a proper conversation of their past. She had many things she wants to ask him, about the wound on his right hands, and also the agreement that started her marriage with him. When she had just woke up from her coma state, Li Jun Wei stated that he married her to protect her but what was he trying to protect her from? She had been too occupied with her revenge that she hadn’t gave a proper thought of the matter when it was the most important thing she should have asked since the beginning.
