Chapter 298 - 280: Nipping The Bud-I
Li Lian looked at Li Jun Wei. Wondering what Madam Li meant by finally putting the empty seat beside Li Jun Wei in use. Was Madam Li very eager to have Li Jun Wei to marry and bring in a wife which was why she had placed another seat beside Li Jun Wei? To remind him how he need someone to sit beside him?
Somewhat Li Lian found it funny that her smile widened.
"Right, Jun Wei? You rarely come home and seeing you two here is one of the best time I could have, come often, okay Li Lian? You can come even without Jun Wei." The woman then lowered her voice, "If you find him too irritating or his face that shows no emotions boring, you could come with me and complain about it."
Li Lian didn’t know how to answer or to laugh, and she replied, "I will try to come often."
"Hm, you don’t have to if you come to complain, you could tell me directly." replied Li Jun Wei after taking a sip of the drink in his glass, he tilted the glass and placed it beside his plate for the maid beside him to refill the drink.
Li Lian saw Madam Li shaking her head in defend to Li Jun Wei’s words and smiled at Li Lian as if to tell her it would be fine if she talked to her.
While the food was served that filled the table with plates that were sparkling white and clean, Li Lian could feel herself full by seeing the much amount of food placed on the table. As Li Lian and Li Jun Wei took seat beside each other, on Li Lian’s left side was Madam Li and Master Li. Master Li in general was a person who spoke less. Nonetheless he seemed to be a kind person as when Li Lian had her eyes met with his and smile, the old man replied with the same polite smile.
Meanwhile beside Li Jun Wei’s right side was Jin Nu Yuan, who was using a knife on one hand while fork in another. Jin Nu Yuan seemed to be in a better mood now that she had sat down with Li Jun Wei and not Li Lian. Although when she lifted her eyes to see Li Lian, the anger found it place to settle again at her eyes.
But this time Jin Nu Yuan didn’t glare at much to Li Lian as she wouldn’t want to agree again at Li Jun Wei to say Li Lian beautiful. Just once was enough shame for her entire life!
