Li Jun woke up in the afternoon, his sleep got disturbed by constant ringing of his phone. He slowly opened his jet black eyes but closed them again immediately, due to light coming out from window. He shield his eyes by his left hand, and with right hand support he sat up on the bed.
He yawned, and stretched out his tensed arms. He looked at the clock, placed on the wall in front of his bed.
He sighed lazily, and leaned back on the bed rest.. closing his eyes. He was still feeling little bit sleepy.
His phone rang again. He grabbed his phone from the side table and without seeing the caller ID, he accepted the call.
"Hello?"
"Finally!! You woke up!!" Li Yun replied from other side, sounding little tired.
"Yeah. What's up??" Li Jun replied, opening his eyes, and looking outside the window.
"Li Ming Yue!!" Li Yun sighed.
Li Jun let out a gentle laugh, "She again cursed our old man for making me pull another all-nighter and then ran away to Han Ximen, after bickering with you, right?? Man!! When she'll grow up??"
"Yeah! When she'll grow up?? I'm tired.. Why the hell is she so stubborn??" Li Yun complained.
Li Jun laughed out loud, and get off from the bed. He went towards the window, and draw aside the curtains completely. He replied looking outside the window, "She is like our Mom!"
Li Yun exclaimed, "Exactly!! Like Mother, Like Daughter!! Stubborn.. Hmph!!"
Li Jun laughed, "Bro.. you are so funny!! By the way, where are you??"
"At office! Why??"
"Call Han Ximen! Tell him to contact me, I want to discuss something with him." Li Jun spoke seriously, glancing at the file kept on his bed side table.
"Cool!"
"I'll talk to you later then! Bye!"
"Bye!"
Li Jun ended the call, and moved towards the file kept on the bed side table.
He picked up the file and opened it. He gets shocked seeing the contents attached to the file.
Li Jun sighed in disbelief, and looked at the photo frame kept on the same bed side table, "Li Ming Yue, you idiot. What do you wanna do??"
*****************
At JJ Entertainment, Han Ximen and Li Ming Yue were still discussing about "Just Between Lovers" and Wang Jing.
Han Ximen spoke tiredly, "Li Ming Yue.. trust me, everything will go well. Wang Jing is perfect for the role of "Valentine". Just believe me, okay?"
"But.. what if she denies??" Li Ming Yue argued.
"Fine.. then look by yourself. I'll call her right away." Han Ximen gave up in the end. He called Feng Shiyi, Wang Jing's manager to bring her to his office.
"Hello! Manager Shiyi!!"
"Hello, President Han! Good afternoon. How are you?" Feng Shiyi responded respectfully.
"Good Afternoon, I'm fine. Where is Wang Jing? I want to discuss something with her. Bring her to visit me!" Han Ximen ordered her in bossy tone.
"Umm.. May I know why? Actually, President Han, Sister Jing was awake whole night shooting for her new movie, and right now she is sleeping. So.." Feng Shiyi replied, thinking about last night late shooting schedule.
"Oh really?" Han Ximen sighed, "It's nothing.. it's just I wanted to discuss about our new project with her. Okay fine, let her sleep then. I'll talk with her later. Just remind her to call me back, okay?"
"Yes, Han President. I'll pass on your message to her." Feng Shiyi replied smilingly.
"Hmm.."
Han Ximen ended the call after giving more instructions to Feng Shiyi.
"What happened?" Li Ming Yue asked him impatiently.
Han Ximen looked at her apologetically, and sighed heavily.
Li Ming Yue felt nervous by his reaction, and asked him again, "What happened, Ximen? What did Wang Jing said?"
"Sigh... Li Ming Yue, that.. umm.. Jing Jing. Hmm.. Wang Jing.." Han Ximen stammered.
"Ahh.. What is it?? Tell me!! Stop stammering!!" She shouted in anxiety.
"Wang Jing is sleeping right now. Her manager told me she was up whole night for her new movie shoot. I didn't got to talk to her. Hmm..!!" Han Ximen replied, and tried to hold his laugh.
Li Ming Yue, "..."
Han Ximen laughed out loud seeing her speechless.
"Do you have death wish, President Han??" Li Ming Yue rebuked in anger. She got hold of his shirt collars and spoke gritting her teeth, "Try to fool around with me one more time, and I'll try my best to dig your grave right then and there."
Han Ximen kept laughing making her fume in anger. Li Ming Yue was about to explode in anger but thanks to Han Ximen's saving stars, a call came to his rescue.
It was Li Yun call. Han Ximen attended his call immediately, speaking seriously, "Hello, Mr. Li!"
"Hello, President Han. How have you been??" Li Yun spoke in bossy tone.
"I'm doing well, Mr. Li. Thank you for your concern."
"That's good to hear. Ahh.. Li Ming Yue, is she there??" Li Yun asked the most obvious question.
Han Ximen glanced at Li Ming Yue, who was busy waving her hands and begging him to lie to her First Elder Brother.
"N-No.. Mr. Li. Cough.. She is not here!!" Han Ximen replied nervously.
Li Yun chuckled, "I got it. Thank you, President Han!"
Han Ximen smiled on his response, "It's my pleasure, Mr. Li!"
Li Ming Yue made a bad face, and she dashed out of from his office.. in anger.
Han Ximen sighed heavily, seeing leaving her in so much anger, "She left in anger, First Elder Brother!"
"Aww.. Poor you!! Tch.. Tch.. Tch.." Li Yun teased him.
Han Ximen twitched his lips, "First Elder Brother.. you are so mean!!"
Li Yun laughed out loud, "When will you confess your feelings to her??" He sighed, "Han Ximen, confess her soon, or else it'll will get late!!"
"I will do it soon, First Elder Brother." Han Ximen smiled widely, "Thank you so much, First Elder Brother.. for keeping my feelings for your sister.. as a secret. I'm really thankful."
Han Ximen fell in love with Li Ming Yue at first sight on their first day of college, but he never confessed his love to her. He followed her everywhere. One day, Li Yun caught him following her, and confronted him. Li Yun liked him and approve his love for his sister.
From that day, Li Yun is the only person who knew about Han Ximen feelings for his little sister. He promised him that he will keep his feelings as secret, and will help him in every possible way to tame his sister.
Li Yun smiled on his reply. He thought, "Li Ming Yue.. you lucky girl. How can you make such a pure soul wait for you? Don't make him wait any more.. my little idiot sister. Ahhh.. I envy him so much. Hmph!!"
"Your most welcome.. my future brother-in-law..!!" Li Yun laughed.
"Hehehe.. By the way. Why did you called up?? What can I help you with??"
"Ah right, Umm.. Li Jun told me to inform you that he wants to talk to you. Give him a call soon. It'll be better, if you meet him in person!" Li Yun replied to him, cursing himself to forget the purpose of calling.
"Second Elder Brother wants to meet me? Why?" Han Ximen was shocked to hear that Li Jun wanted to talk to him.
"I don't know why, but he sounded little serious. Call him, and talk to him, okay?" Li Yun replied to him in polite tone.
"Okay! I'll call him immediately. See you later, First Elder Brother. Bye!"
Han Ximen ended the call smilingly.
He wondered, "What is it? Why he wants to talk to me??" He began tapping his fingers on sofa handles, "Could it be.."
Han Ximen gaped in fear, and immediately made a call to Li Jun.
"Hello?"
"Hello! President Li, Han Ximen speaking!"
"Ahh.. it's you! Where is Li Ming Yue??" Li Jun asked him seriously.
"S-she just left, President Li!"
Han Ximen stammered in nervousness.
"Hmm.. that's good. I want to confirm something with you, President Han!!"
"Yes, please tell me, President Li. How can you help you??" Han Ximen tried very hard not to sound afraid of him.
"Just Between Lovers!!" Li Jun simply said three words in response.
"What??" Han Ximen stood up from his seat.. in shock.
