We both turned around to see who it was and when we saw aunty Quin Li, I bowed to show my respect but Li Sina turned back to continue what it was that she was doing.
I was getting uncomfortable so I tried leaving but, Li Sina held one of my hands while drawing with the other.
"Where do you think you are going? Help me tidy these things up".
I looked at her already tidied brushes on a cloth on the floor and I began to pack them while also covering the color pallets she was using not that I had to. To be honest, I didn't even know why I was doing it.
After I was done, I saw a bag pack close to the chair she was sitting on so I placed the cloth with brushes in it and also the pallets gently, took the bag, and walked out of the house leaving only Li Sina and aunty Quin Li in the house.
Li Sina tried to follow suit but Quin Li held her by the hand which made her pause in her steps.
"Is this how you've grown to be? No respect at all, you are simply rude and impudent".
Li Sina looked at the side view of her so-called mother and bowed slightly.
"I apologize, ma'am, I didn't know I had to show you respect when you obviously don't like it".
After saying this, she dragged her hand away from her mother and walked away. Quin Li stayed that way for a while and though it wasn't too noticeable, her eye looked a little bit teary.
When I got inside, I gave Li Sina's bag to one of the maids and went upstairs. On getting to our room, I knock to see if anyone was inside but I didn't hear any sound so I assumed Lu Jinho wasn't inside the room but when I opened the door, there he was sleeping on the bed.
I tiptoed to the bed so as to not wake him up and when I got there, I gently climbed the bed so I could see him clearly.
I couldn't help but smile. I knew I liked him a little but I didn't know I'd be this happy to be his girlfriend even when I dated Hao Gin for five years, I never felt this way.
Because of this, I was smiling sheepishly. My hands were tempting me and in no time, my fingers were already tracing the hair scattered around his face and after that, I began touching him all over the face. From his eyes to his cheek then his nose and just when I was going to get to his lips, he smiled.
I immediately removed my hand but he held it and put it back and opened his eyes.
"Do I look so charming that you can't help but keep smiling?"
"What are you talking about? I wasn't smiling".
He chuckled.
"Liar, you were smiling since you came into the room".
My eyes opened wide.
"I.....I thought you were sleeping".
He shook his head in disagreement.
"I was waiting for you, where were you?"
"Well, you were in a meeting so I went out to get some fresh air".
He didn't say anything and simply nodded. He placed his head on my chest and exhaled quite heavily.
"Are...you okay?"
"Mmmn".
"Do you want to sleep?"
He snuggled even more like a baby and it made me smile.
"Mmmn".
I didn't say anything else but this time around, I was caressing his hair with more confidence. Soon enough, I also fell asleep.
By the time I woke up, it was already evening and Lu Jinho wasn't on the bed anymore. For a man with so much masculinity, I didn't feel any strain on my chest.
I went to the bathroom to see if he was inside, I knocked but no one answered so I opened the door to check but he wasn't there. Then I heard a sound from the closet, I went to check, and there he was.
As soon as I saw him, I smiled and he smiled right back. He sure did look very handsome with a smile.
"Hey you".
"Hey, you are awake".
He was arranging the luggage we need for our journey so I went over to join him but when I got there, he was almost done so we just rounded up, prepared, and walked out of the room.
When we got to the living room, everyone was there so we began saying all the necessary goodbyes but I didn't see Li Sina so I went over to meet grandma.
"Grandma, I can't see Li Sina anywhere".
"Oh my darling, she left as soon as she gave me her painting".
My mouth made the O shape then I bowed and smiled at her.
After all the goodbyes, we left. The flight was smooth and very comfortable. It felt a little too short compared to the other ones we've been having and soon enough, we were back in Lu Jinho's mansion.
When we arrived, Lu Jinho's men rushed to him with Yu Lei in front. He whispered something into his ear and the hand which was holding mine became a little more tighter.
He pecked me on the cheek and whispered into my ear.
"I have to go now".
He left with his men and here I was with a bunch of guards and maids. I was going in when Yu Han came to see me.
"Welcome back Miss".
I smile and replied.
"Thank you. So, what is going on?"
"The boss is needed for something very important".
He said this while we were still walking but when I heard what he said, I stopped and of course, so did every other person who was following us. I turned to look at him.
"I know it's important, I'm asking what could be so important that they had to take him the minute he arrived?"
"I apologize miss, I don't think I can tell you that".
I walked closer to him with a face that scream nothing like nice.
"I guess you have forgotten so I'll remind you, Yu Lei is Lu Jinho's right-hand man and you, you are mine. You answer to me first understood?"
"I apologize miss let's get to the room and I'll explain".
I liked his answer so we went upstairs. When we got to the room, I sat on the makeup chair while removing my earrings and waiting for him to speak but what he said made me pause immediately.
"Ju Min is now the major shareholder of Xio group and she has gotten strong alliances and support from four major rivals of the boss".
