Chapter 474 - 455: Beside Your Seat-II
It was strange. Something about the man hooked Li Lian in a strange way that she couldn’t name what was wrong with her. But she indeed find it enjoyable beside him because he wasn’t one of those men who would use the chance to harass a woman, in which, she had faced many times throughout her life.
Her black eyes continue to shadow the man’s silhouette until his head seemed to move from the faint moving shadow and she realized that she had been staring him more than necessary. Pulling her eyes away, she cleared her throat, "So, why are you here? I doubt those girls caught you here too, right?"
"I was here to meet someone," answered the man and Li Lian hummed, she wondered if she could ask more or if it was intrusive but the man continued as if knowing her polite hesitation. "It was the son of someone who is working under my company."
"Company?" Li Lian asked, sensing the man’s silence, "I thought you were younger; your voice sounds youthful."
A breeze-like chuckle brushed her skin even with the distance where a body could lay between them, Li Lian find herself minding every little breaths or sound that came from him and it had her wonder if this was the side effect of losing her sight in the darkness?
"Did I say something wrong?" Only know did she knew how difficult it is to find other’s intentions behind their words without peering their expression.
"No; I was wondering if you thought that everyone who have a company is an old man?" Oh no, did she sound like that? "If you are, I should betray your ideal then. I am still twenty three."
"I see... I am twenty two," answered Li Lian, schooling herself for being judgementful. "I don’t mean to say that everyone who had a company under are old. It’s just that I form some kind of image in my mind when talking to you and it just came unexpected..." Li Lian closed her eyes, what was this explanation? "Anyway, I was-"
"Tell me about that imagination," asked the man whose voice bloomed with more curiosity. "Did you imagine how I would look like?"
