IN A CAFE CUBICLE, Z CITY.
Yu Yan clenched her fist. Not taking the file. Her heart beating faster.
"I am sure you can easily get to him through your lover. They are brothers after all"
Mr Leng grinned. His grey hair cropped sleekly to his side making him look all the more villianous.
"I Can't"
Yu Yan shook her head. Her anger and fear welling up her throat. What will happen if Li Jun found out?
"Can't or won't? Remember that you have no other option little Yan. Don't forget how I helped you before. You don't want your friends and lover to know the truth about what happened 9 years ago do you?At that time I helped you cover up the..."
"Uncle Leng!" Yu Yan suddenly jumped. "please.... don't." Her hand began to shake as she began to recall that fearful night 9 years ago. A memory that haunted her dreams. "I..I..I was only a child myself. That.. that..mistake... please..."
Yu Yan begged. She could only beg.She knew Mr Leng would never let her forget about it. That unforgivable sin.
"You leave me no other choice little Yu Yan. At that time I helped you because of Si Fang. She begged me so much, I had no choice. But, nothing is free little Yan. It's time for you to repay my kindness. It's such a small favour.Why fuse so much huh ?" Mr Leng showed her no mercy. He was even irritated.
Just getting her to pass on the files was taking so much talking , what about all the things he planned to make her do later on when she entered the prestigious Li's household officially. This stupid girl still does not know what is best for her.
'I can't let Li Jun find out'..
"I can't do it.... I just can't.The eldest son is very strict. He..he is someone unreachable.He will never agree to any unscrupulous means....If you want money, I can give you all the money I have...."
" SHUT UP YOU BITCH! I, the owner of Leng's Textiles am not a poor man! How dare you!?"
Mr Leng yelled angrily but calmed down immediately. " Do this for me and your secret is safe with me. How about that?. You don't even need to see the eldest Li's heir , just give the file to your lover to pass on. He will not say no? It's such a small thing.I heard the eldest heir is a very scary businessman but also the Li family are all very close to each other. As a brother, he will not say no to his younger brother right?" Mr Leng thought his way of thinking was very rational.
Hearing all the shouting and yelling from his father, Liu Liu could only cower, unable to even lift his head from under his yellow hoody. He felt useless and hated himself for leading his father straight to sister Yu Yan.
Yu Yan Had Lost All Her Will To Fight.
If her past was revealed.It would ruin all the happiness in her life.She would have to go to jail. She could not even harm mr Leng because of Liu Liu.
Most importantly, Li Jun would surely leave her, his family would insist on that for sure.Even he would not want to be with a person like her after the truth came out.When that time comes, She would not only go back to being an orphan but she would become an emptier shell than she had ever been before because now she had experienced and tasted true love and happiness with Li Jun.
SHE WOULD RATHER DIE BEFORE THAT HAPPENED.
She nodded stupidly.
Mr Leng grinned.
"Good.Good.I leave the file to you then. Alright! I am going ahead..." Mr Leng suddenly stood up and a man appeared by his side respectfully, probably his secretary. "Also Liu Er, don't come home late understand.?" He warned his young son with a smile. His smile not containing any fatherly love.
As soon as the old man exited ,Liu Liu rushed to Yu Yan's side.
"Sister! I am so sorry!" He hugged Yu Yan without any warning.
"Don't worry about it.". Yu Yan hugged him back tightly as tears escaped his innocent eyes.
"Where have you been? Do you even remember me?" Liu Liu cried out in complaint.
"How can I forget you Liu Liu.. I don't dare. It's your father who didn't let me see you before and I was also too helpless.You have to understand me."
Yu Yan looked at the boy closely. "You have grown so much in two years Liu Liu. I still remember you as a little boy..." Yu Yan felt her cheeks getting wet again, this little boy looked like auntie Si so much. " You resemble your mother more and more" She smiled.
Liu Liu ignored her.
"Sister, You have to take me with you this time. I can't go back to that person EVER. That family has no place for me...sister this time you have to promise me, okay?" The boy started to cry again. Only he knew how he was being treated in that place he was supposed to call home.
Yu Yan cried too and hugged him again.
"Its okay. It's okay. I will soon take you with me. It's just not the time yet. But it will be soon...."
"AAAHHHH...!"
Suddenly, the boy was pulled my the collar of his sweater and was thrown harshly against the wall.
~ THUD~
Liu Liu's body fell lifeless on the tiles.
"WHAT!? LIU LIU !!?" Yu Yan screamed confused.
Li Jun's gloomy face came into view.
"What Are You Doing?"
Her husband's face was contorted in an ugly rage. The kind Yu Yan had not seen before.
40 Mins Ago.
Li Jun had not taken a lot of time finding the cab Yu Yan had taken and luckily she had not gone too far away from the office. It was just that he had travelled too far from the area before his car could take a u-turn.
Initially, he was worried about her safety. He only thought she was sulking and probably wanted to runaway from him for awhile to annoy him.
He cooled himself down on the way thinking maybe he could take this chance to talk with her properly. He wasn't a stingy man. He understood her need to be free.
The marriage announcement would come sooner or later, he was confident he could pursuade her about that.
She had always been a lone wolf before she had met him. Slowly they would understand each other...
As he got to the Cafe, he was still calm. Laughing a little that his sweet wife picked such a nearby place to hide. She was not really running away from him of course . He smiled.
That is until he came inside the cafe looking for her and saw her... hugging a man.
He lost his self control immediately, his male instincts took over. He rushed forward at lightning speed and picked the man who was unexpectedly very light and threw him far away from his wife.
The man landed against the wall with a thud and fell into a pathetic heap on the floor.]
PRESENT TIME.
"Liu Liu!!" Yu Yan pushed Li Jun aside and rushed to the fallen boy.
That is when Li Jun noticed that the boy was very young....too young infact.
The misunderstanding was caused by the oversized hoody he was wearing and also the fact that Li Jun only saw him from the back hugging his wife.
He stepped closer to the boy and his hyperventilating wife.
"Call an ambulance idiot! Call now!!" Yu Yan screamed at him in tears.
"O okay"
Li Jun answered, hiding a smile.
THE HOSPITAL, Z CITY.
"Mr Li, the boy needs to be admitted to the hospital for now. We need to observe him for at least 24 hours for concussions and I advice not to move him for a week because of his fractures." The doctor in charged reported respectfully.
"Hmmm," Li Jun responded. He avoided looking a Yu Yan who was also looking over at the doctor worriedly.
"Doctor, how long can I stay here?" Liu Liu asked more cheerful than his situation warranted.
"Umm... you should be okay to go in a week's time. Luckily you are young and the bones should mend in a month. You can go home in a few days if you want but you need to rest and take care." The doctor smiled at Mr Li's relative.
"Aw.. can't I stay for more?" Liu Liu said disheartened. He was still lying on his back on the special hospital bed.
The doctor looked confused.
"Be good now Liu Liu" Yu Yan held Liu Liu's hand lovingly.
Li Jun frowned.
"Liu Liu, do you need anything? I will send my men to get it for you" Li Jun said to the boy.
'Calm the fuck down, It's only a little boy. Not a man who is eyeing your woman.' Li Jun told himself.
"No brother in law. I am fine, thank you so much" Liu Liu tried to bow respectfullyly but winced as he strained his back and head. He had at least two fractured ribs.
Yu Yan immediately stood up to help him. "don't strain yourself" Yu Yan scolded as she adjusted Liu Liu's pillow.
Liu Liu smiled happily. He was just happy that he didn't have to go home tonight.
"I will go call your father and tell him about what happened today. You stay here and be good okay?" Yu Yan smiled comfortingly at Liu Liu.
Liu Liu nodded and smiled again.
As she walked to the door the newlywed couple's eyes 'accidentally' met.
Yu Yan glared at Li Jun as she went out the door.
Li Jun mouthed: " Sorry"
Yu Yan mouthed: "Fuck off".
