Chapter 396 - 377: Sneaking In-I
The days passed swiftly while Li Lian passed the days barely meeting Li Jun Wei. Somewhere she wondered if she was going through withdrawal syndrome without having Li Jun Wei anywhere near her for the past two days. On another sight, Li Lian pondered about the scene she stumbled upon yesterday.
It happened around the time Li Lian stepped out of her room in the late evening. She was thirsty and wanted to refill the jar with more water from the kitchen. On her way back to her room, she was bored when thinking how she would be alone in the room that had never felt that way before with Li Jun Wei beside her. While thinking to make a detour before coming back to her room, it was at that time when she heard a soft voice talking,
"Our talk last time was disturbed. I was thinking of having another talk with you and who knows the time come this fast," It was Violet who had talked. Li Lian thought it would be rude if they found her and took a quick step to hide behind the nearest pillar.
"Is that why you are here now, in the garden?" Li Xiao Chen asked, and when Li Lian leaned her head forward, she saw how the two were talking. Violet had a smile on her lips that seemed more as if she was trying not to laugh. While Li Xiao Chen, on another hand, had an extremely serious face regardless of the smile he had on his face which was very boyish.
Although Li Xiao Chen was often told to be a joker, one cannot forget how handsome he was. Especially how he had earned the crown of being Beijing’s number one playboy. Having a stern expression on his face only made him looked somewhere similar to Li Jun Wei with the difference being the smile that he had.
"Do you wish for that? Did you wish for me to come while walking around this garden? I know that some people knew I would be walking in the garden around this time. So I wonder if our meeting now is purely out of coincidence?" questioned Violet with her gaze fixed at the man whose tongue was tied. "I was wondering Mr. Li."
Li Xiao Chen was suddenly on guard from the word Violet said. His eyes appeared to be distrustful. In Li Xiao Chen’s life, he had never met a woman like Violet before! A woman whose smile always stayed brief on her lips, and the look on her face that speaks as if she knew everything about him. With the gaze Violet gave him, it should have been uncomfortable, but there was something in her that unknowingly caught and pulled his interest.
"What are you wondering about?" He asked when Violet took another step forward, he moved back to preserve the distance between them.
"This." Violet pointed her finger to the empty distance between them that could fit for three people to stand in between. "Are you afraid of me?"
Li Xiao Chen looked at her hands. Unlike the power, she showed when fighting, Violet’s hands were small. Her palms had callouses in them, showing how much she had trained to take the position as a bodyguard. It reminded him of the small mistake he made when meeting her at first. At that time he had praised his beauty purely because of how astonished he was when seeing her. She was beautiful, but that beauty didn’t come only from her face, but the ambiance she had where she was confident.
