In the situation where your wife meet again with her ex to give him a few slaps, even a blind person knew what could have happened between Li Lian and He Chang Min.
Holding back his hand Li Lian felt her anger dispersed but that never meant she would forget of the man who was still standing in front of them. "Mr. He came to give me an invitation for my grandmother's upcoming birthday." she said, and Li Jun Wei nodded.
"Your grandmother birthday," Li Jun Wei spoke to recall the only woman who protected Li Lian in the hell like house, "When will it be held?"
"Around next month." she replied with a gentle smile.
He looked at the envelope and took it to his hand to scan the sender and the expected receiver on the right bellow corner of the envelope, 'From Xie Family to Ms. Yue Li Lian.'
"What a neat invitation." he commented adding sarcasm tonelessly. There was no way in heaven Xie Family would kindly send an invitation to their house toward Li Lian without a reason. And the sender wasn't a simple anyone from Xie Family but her sly sister Xie Hue Lin.
She had been bullied and abused in many ways by Xie Family and they deemed her to be the most useless and horrible person on Earth when they are the ones who had been turning a blind eye toward the truth behind the incidents that had framed Li Lian as the villainess.
This was a good opportunity, he smiled.
"Mr. Li." He Chang Min greeted but without a smile. When the gaze of the two men met a viable dislike reflected in each other's eyes. Before was a young man who fell for Li Lian now her ex who still held a flame for her.
Frankly he wasn't surprised even during college Li Lian was a flower to others and if it wasn't due to the fact she was in a relationship with He Chang Min many other men would try to charm her which made him tightened his jaw.
"I didn't came to ambush Li Lian, I didn't know her contact number to give her the invitation thus I waited for her." He spoke again for the couple to look at him with a blunt jaded expression.
"Of course you waited for her but for Li Lian not to give you her contact number just have been because you wasn't a person to be trusted in the first place." Li Jun Wei then bluntly said, "For an ex it is time for you to know how to step back, Mr. He." The smile on He Chang Min's which had fallen over now completely washed away.
"Step back," he repeated in an additional frown, "What do you mean by step back when I haven't advance a step?"
"I didn't know you loved using flowery language." said Jun Wei in reply quickly. He then took a step forward. Being taller than He Chang Min he was able too looked down at the man the way he want to show him to say, "If you hadn't take a step forward then don't or else the loss will ruin you." he warned.
"I still have work left to do, please excuse me Mr. Li and Li Lian." He Chang Min still kept his politeness out of a habit and he called their name with a different tone one with hostility and the other one with a faint lingering.
Once the man went from the cafe to leave Li Lian and Li Jun Wei alone in the cafe the two bodyguards went outside in respect to their privacy. Taking her hand, Li Jun Wei walked to the car with her by his side.
"Jun Wei why are you here?" she inquired, "Aren't you busy with your work?" she had heard that it was busy around this time of the year from his grandparents conversations.
He chuckled to bring her head closer and kiss her cheeks. "I'm not how can I be busy at this moment?" A color of red smoked her cheeks and a smile broke on her lips.
He then brought the envelope closer to speak, "I had been wanting to greet your grandmother." he hummed.
"Then this is a good chance but there is only one invitation." she looked down on the invitation specifically addressed to her.
"I can do something about that." he witty replied brought a chuckle to her. "However the first question is whether you are going to come to the party or not."
Frankly, she was still weighing between to go into the invitation or not. As she had plenty of ways to meet with her grandmother other than inviting herself to her little sister's trap. It had been years and there are drawbacks by going to the invitation but she wasn't scared to entertain her little sister's little play.
"Of course I will come it is my grandmother's birthday too I can't miss her birthday." She was no little prick like her sister that doesn't know how to repay other's kindness.
"What will you do about the present? While we are here I remember a good store where you can buy good presents for your grandmother."
Li Lian cocked her head to the side, "You do?"
"Why? Do I look like an unsociable person?" he teased. With the time passes by Li Jun Wei had become more talkative which she think was not because of the time but because he was the type of person to share more words to the people dear to him.
"No it's because I rarely sees you going outside so I didn't know you loved shopping." then suddenly she felt his hand wrapping on her waist to pull her by his side. Li Lian turned to see that there was a large framed man who was walking to almost bump at her but was stopped by Li Jun Wei.
"Be careful." he warned, "Your rehabilitations may have ended but the doctors said that there are still side effects that could hinder your balance."
"Thank you," she smiled, "But trust me I'm fine now I'm not that weak."
He had released just a little power of his hold when he stopped to take her closer where their breathings brushed each other from the proximity they shared. "You are not that weak however the fact that you could be hurt doesn't change and I do not want that to happen to you."
