Li Lian could feel her hand itch to slap the man sitting casually in front of her now. She glanced around the open cafe and although it wasn't a private place due to her bodyguard's work, there was no single person who sat on the place other than them and the people working in the counter.
Now that there is not any person watching me a slap or two now would not matter much, Li Lian thought to glare at the man when He Chang Min passed a white envelope to the table.
"This is the invitation," a sigh escaped as he placed the envelop on the desk. "I know you don't want to go back to Xie Family but this is grandmother's birthday." he reminded.
"What are you thinking?" The frown on Li Lian was not enough to show how repulsive she was by his sudden act of kindness. "Do you think I will forgive you for what you have done to me?"
"I don't expect you to forgive me." He Chang Min brown dull eyes looked back at her black eyes. The fist he held above the desk tightened to the point it turned white. "It is fine to hate me but find in yourself not to hate others and walk in this path of revenge,"
Li Lian could hear something in the back of her head like a thread she held previously snapped. In a flash the sound of flesh hitting filled the room for everyone even the bodyguard between her winced at the sound as though they were the one who was slapped.
"Drop your innocent mask He Chang Min! What do you want!" She demanded, the anger she had burst out. She had enough of him every time He Chang Min always place himself in the spot where he was blameless and innocent. She felt foolish for once thinking he was a gentle man whose kind heart reached for everyone. He was not a kind person he was only using his kindness to turn a blind eye toward the things happening to the people around him.
Blood dripped down from the scratch on He Chang Min's cheeks. Li Lian didn't hold back her power to slap him and slap him enough for the inside of his cheeks to be bleeding now. Placing his finger over to his cheeks, he pulled his hand to see the red liquid. Pain stung on his cheek but he knew this can not be compare to the pain Li Lian felt. That two years when she disappeared and that day when everything was lost in front of her he had partake on ruining her heart. And perhaps he had harmed her even long before they broke their engagement.
"I do not want to do anything but Li Lian I may have done wrong but Xie Hue Lin and your parents they had not done anything that you need to your revenge." Taking Li Jun Wei as her boyfriend wasn't it enough proof that Li Lian was in relationship with him for the sake of her revenge? "That man you are with do you really love him? Or did you become his lover only for revenge?" A bitter aftertaste stayed on his lips as he uttered the words.
Li Lian released her hand to slap him again when suddenly her hand was stopped at the air. She snapped her eyes behind to see Li Jun Wei appearing with a warm smile toward her but when he spared a look at He Chang Min the smile he had turned soulless.
"Jun Wei why are you here?" she asked the question and saw the bodyguards to receive the answer on her own. Her bodyguards must had been worried and called Li Jun Wei to the cafe.
"I heard you met a trouble on the way of exiting the agency that someone had been stalking you," Li Jun Wei peered down at the man in a clear dislike then he turned to take Li Lian's hand to place it near his chin and brought it forward to his lips.
By then, Li Lian had all her anger dissolved into a heart racing tug when she saw the hand fell on his lips. When Li Jun Wei whispered her palm felt ticklish all the way to the deepest part of her heart, "It had turned red." He said and his red tongue slipped out from his full lips to caress the red part of her palm after hitting He Chang Min.
"Jun Wei!" She called and saw how his eyes looking at her simply not knowing why she had call her. "It's dirty don't lick my hand," She was flustered that Li Jun Wei had licked her hand as soon as he appeared that her mind began to tatter off.
Only then did Li Jun Wei released her hand to take his deep blue handkerchief from his pocket and wiped her hand, "You are right it was dirty and I had to clean it off before you are infected." He directed the word to He Chang Min who had rooted on his spot.
Shifting his eyes he glanced at He Chang Min and peered at his look with his black eyes. The man had a curly brown hair, sharp nose, eyes bore with gentleness and over all feature of a man that women would ogle at for his gentlemanly manner. Like a prince in a fairy tale if one would say but compared to him, he was nothing and painfully He Chang Min realized this too.
"What do you need with my lover, Mr. He? I am sure there are any other ways than lie in wait for Li Lian at her company." He Chang Min heard his tonelessly question while staring at his hand holding tightly to Li Lian's hand. He had heard Li Lian claiming her relationship with Li Jun Wei but now that he saw the man beside her he felt the gap.
It took him a while to regain back his ability to make a speech. Yet only a word could be uttered from his mouth, "lover." He has said the word with a gaping tone.
