Li Lian watched the gloom that ca from Linyue as she spoke about it. Her hand moved to the next teacup, stirring with three sugar cubes and held the cup with her other hand holding the saucer.
"The mories are what drives a person to rember. It is often say how mories stay prettier with ti passing," replied Li Lian to brightened Linyue’s mood as the woman seed to be sad now.
"Hm," Linyue brought her head up and down, accepting the words to look at Li Lian and asked, "How is everything going between you and Jun Wei? You seed like a couple that wouldn’t fight."
Li Lian agreed with it by ti most people would fight but Li Jun Wei and Li Lian rarely fight almost never. It could be because their personality complent each other to fit like puzzle most people with contradicting characters would often disagree.
"Everything have been going well, last ti I visited his parent’s morial." Li Lian replied, the woman felt pleasing to speak with that she didn’t mind telling the event.
"Ah, late Mr and Mrs Li’s morial. They have been gone for a long ti," replied the lady with a sad face, "A death news have been easy to tell is it?" She smiled at Li Lian.
"It never gets better," agreed Li Lian to watch how the woman smiled before looking at the liquid inside her cup with her eyes narrowing in sadness.
Li Lian wondered what she should do or tell to Linyue. She felt bad as a person who know Jin Suzheng cheating outside the marriage. On one hand Li Lian didn’t want to hide what she knew but she wasn’t sure if it was her place either to tell the woman.
Linyue seed to be happy but she could tell that at tis there were things that make her feel sad and lonely.
"Do you have soone that you know who had died?" asked Linyue with her tone push low not too sound too nosy, "It’s just that I thought you know what I am talking of."
"There are so people." replied Li Lian, placing the saucer to the table and her hand placed the cup to rest it beside the table, "What about you Linyue?"
"?" Linyue placed the cup to her lips to bring it away and watch her reflection which rippled on the light brown color liquid, "I do. Soone who I know very well," sadness stayed on the woman’s face where Li Lian thought she could see the woman’s eyes slightly glowed from tears. "It had been four years now. It feels surreal when you thought soone who had been beside you for years to suddenly disappear, the hollow in your emotions and the sadness that grew numb with days passing."
Li Lian saw that as Linyue spoke, her eyes seed to doze away that she almost forgot what they were talking of. "That is a very beautiful earrings, Linyue." said Li Lian to shift the conversation.
Linyue seed to notice that Li Lian was careful with her feeling and she smiled at her before holding her earrings, "It’s the souvenir Suzheng brought for from Thailand. It’s almost too beautiful, isn’t it? I really love this present." smiled the woman who believed in her husband’s lies that made Li Lian’s gaze to look in pity.
"Does Suzheng often leave the country?" asked Li Lian curious before sipping to her tea an placing it again to the saucer for Linyue to reply,
"Not quite often about every two to three months? He never forget to give any present he found that reminded him of . In a sense he is a romantic person." Li Lian wasn’t sure a out being romantic. Suzheng could bought the present so Linyue wouldn’t suspect him and sugar coated her with living endearnts Li Lia believe to be patches with lies. "In truth, Suzheng wasn’t my first choice, did you heard of this before?"
Unable to lie Li Lian nodded on Linyue’s question, "Jun Wei told about it, I’m sorry."
Linyue waved her hand as if to push the matter aside like it was a simple matter, "Please don’t be. It’s famous everywhere many people know that I didn’t like Suzheng in the past. There was rumors that snowballed. I don’t know how it did though."
"You don’t know?" Li Lian questioned, unable to understand it as Linyue’s words turned smaller to whisper.
On Li Lian’s question a shy smile was present on Linyue’s lips, "Years ago, I rejected Suzheng because I am still in a relationship with another person. As weird as it sounds, most daughters in my position don’t get much choice when it cos to marriage especially us who are born in the wealthy part. It may be blinding, enviable, but filled with lies."
Which was true to Li Lian’s after Mrs. Sun conveying how that there was rules in the socialites that they kept on their own.
Linyue continued, "I fought for days with my parents, rejected Suzheng for many tis but he was a very patient man. Despite I have rejected him, he still stayed with . Although my family and Jin family tried to hide the news so rumors would appear for so reasons, the news ca where I rejected Suzheng and that I was in relationship with soone else. My father disagree and although my mother didn’t, she also thought that it is part of my obligation."
Linyue placed the cup to the saucer with a clinking sounds, "Then we are here now." the woman smiled, not going to details of what happened and Li Lian didn’t asked.
Was it a coincidence that Linyue’s relationship with the man she love suddenly co to the spotlight? It was too good to be true seeing how clever and craft the pair mother and son was.
Li Lian watched Linyue’s earrings her lips couldn’t help to ask, "Can I ask if you ever doubt Suzheng?"
Linyue put the teacup down, her smile turned in question, "Doubt Suzheng for what?" asked the woman.
