There was a time Li Lian recalled when she waited eagerly for He Chang Min when they were still in a relationship and now she felt nothing but repellent by seeing him waiting in front of her agency to ambush her.
"Don't you know a proper way to wait for someone, Mr. He? You should make an appointment first instead of stalking me here until I come out."
"Stalk? And would you meet me if I set an appointment to you?" He Chang Min became aggressive with his answer.
She knitted a frown and put on a tired face, "It is not for you to choose whether I want to meet you." and she didn't bother to wait for his answer to walk over the car. The two bodyguard who had been with her at the time when she fought back gallantly to the group of people who came to assassinate her was still assigned to protect Li Lian until tomorrow the day when her private bodyguard came. When they saw Li Lian was talking to a man they remembered the nights before where Li Jin Wei called them into their study room.
That night still remain fresh at their memories as it was less than a week after the attack that almost danger Li Lian's life.
They were called suddenly by Li Jun Wei which was rare as the man had closed himself even to the bodyguards whose job was to protect him.
While thinking what the master could have called them for, the thought of Li Jun Wei would go and burst into anger at them for being unable to protect Li Lian properly passed by their mind.
"Are we going to get fired?" The first bodyguard, San asked his friend whose face was no less frightened like him.
"Don't you think getting fired is the best circumstances here?" Ni asked for his friend to nod intensely. Just then, the arrived at Li Jun Wei's office and had the man standing with a cold face. The room was dimmed and dark with only a few yellow lights from the small lamp to light the room.
They stood straight with eyes moving to roam around in nervous. Li Jun Wei shouldn't be able to find out that Li Lian has attacked back the assassins who was sent to her and as they had made a promise to Li Lian, they were unable to say anything to him what had actually taken place that time. The possibility of Li Jun Wei finding out was low yet they can't help but believe the man in front of them knows everything.
"This man in the picture make sure he will never follow Li Lian and never let him be alone in the same place as her." They observed the picture and saw the man with a brown curly hair and quite a charming face. "I don't think I have to remind you two what would happen if you fail your orders again."
They grew stiff at his words. Cold sweat formed upon their foreheads to dropped down from the side of their temple. Again? Did Li Jun Wei said again? They sneaked a look at his face where Li Jun Wei's eyes were vacant from emotions. That expression alone was enough to let them know that the man knew what they had been hiding.
Without an exchange of words, the two bodyguards walked down of the car and stepped in front of Li Lian with their hands wide open. He Chang Min was a man taller than his peers, however in front of the bodyguards he fell almost four inches shorter than them.
Their sunglasses covered their glare made them look more stern than what they actually tried to be. "What do you need with the miss?" asked San his gruff voice work well to intimidate a person.
It would have work to other people and should have also worked on He Chang Min except today he was in a very bad mood. "I have no business with you two, move." he glared back at the bodyguards.
"Don't tell others to move when you are the one who have to move." Ni pressed his tone as he spoke.
"Miss let us go." San led his hand to guard Li Lian toward the car. Li Lian spared a smile to her bodyguards and followed them to the car.
He Chang Min took a step forward only for the human wall Ni stopping him and shouted, "Grandmother's birthday!" He raised his tone desperately enough for Li Lian to hear.
Her right feet stopped from advancing one more step and she turned her back with a frown. There was only one grandmother to Li Lian, the madam of Xie Family. She was the only woman who thought well of her and the only person who defended her whenever a problem Xie Hue Lin triggered arose.
"What was with grandmother's birthday?" asked Li Lian, when her grandmother was mentioned a certain warmth had colored her dull eyes.
"Talk with me somewhere else," he eyed the two bodyguard, "without them."
Li Lian crossed her arms and scoffed, "You are making an order now?"
"It's up to you to decide whether you want to hear me or not. If yes, move your bodyguards." He didn't cared whether his words sounds demanding to her now. Li Lian suddenly appearing back alive was enough surprise to him then he heard the news of her being a mistress of Li Family and when he recalled how Li Xiao Chen protecting Li Lian everything fits to his mind. That Li Lian's relationship with Li Xiao Chen is lovers.
What was she expecting of him anyway? Li Lian thought and shook her head. With a slight grin she replied nonchalantly, "Okay."
"Miss." San and Ni objected when they saw Li Lian extending her hand to hint them.
"But my bodyguard have to be in approximately five meters with me. So they will still come with me and I will not want to be in a private place." She had to be careful especially when it is her ex she was dealing with.
"Fine," He Chang Min said, "Come with me."
