The Old Master's eyes which had turned blurry when looking far due to his old age narrowed on Kei's words. Truthfully, there was one thing the Old Master hide from Li Lian on the call after meeting Akasaka's eldest son. Before Akasaka Haruhi left, he gave his word which still fresh to the Old Master and Kei's memory.
'Li Lian could enjoy her time in China a little longer then. I don't want to force her either. In four months, I wonder if she would come here after hearing the news that Maple House is gone? I'm joking, I'm stating of the possibility but if Li Lian doesn't come home in either of this four months, it could also not be a joke.'
