"He Chang Min sent the phone here, it is the sa phone which you saw Xie Hue Lin stored on the box along with the other recorders of that videos," Li Jun Wei said, a tone of anger was barely restrain in his words.
Li Lian held his hand and put on a small chuckle, "I didn’t know he would have this much of courage in him."
"He felt guilty," answered Li Jun Wei but he didn’t defend He Chang Min neither sounded like he would persuade Li Lian to forgive the man.
Li Lian who had been watching the look passing by her husband’s handso face couldn’t help but to think how much ti had passed. She could not read through his expression in the past but now, she does.
"It is past his ti. He ca too late. Rather than apology, I think he does this to satisfy himself," Li Lian then felt Li Jun Wei’s eyes on her and she turned on her chair, picking his sleeve under his watchful gaze, "Do you think I am too cold?"
"For what?"
"To He Chang Min, he did help us with this," though if she recalled what happened when they last t where He Chang Min daringly almost kissed her while using his chance on such a narrow mont.
"If you ask , I would say that he deserve it," Li Jun Wei answered, "and if I have to be honest, I am glad. Glad that you don’t forgive him."
"That’s what I thought but what did he asked in exchange for his aid to you?" Li Lian questioned, she doubted anyone would do anything without a repaynt. It sounds too good to be true in this world.
"He wants to put an end to his family. His mother to be exact. His hatred rooted on her and he also hoped I can bring his birth mother and grandmother away from Mrs. He for safety."
"That’s simpler. If he asked for my forgiveness it won’t be a good offer as I won’t do that," she answered, being firm with her principle.
If anyone had betrayed her, Li Lian told herself to never forgive the other it wasn’t because she want to be stubborn with hatred but because once a person had betrayed you, the second and the third betrayal are more possible than to wish they would rectify their past mistake.
"In the beginning he did asked that," Li Jun Wei spoke, his calmness didn’t change in his words and he took the phone from her hands, turning it on, "I answered the sa an answer as you did. I told him that you would never accept is forgiveness. Sothing like an apology is earned and not bargained."
And Li Lian was glad to hear Li Jun Wei think the sa as her. It was often difficult to have others to think like her, to have the sa principle and she found out to have Li Jun Wei and him alone to understand her was more than enough and what she wish for.
When the phone was turned on, her eyes then fell first to the call history. The loading took the three seconds for the list to appear and Li Lian bit her lips at what she found, "It is B-180."
"The sa number as those who hired the hitn," said Li Jun Wei a click of his tongue followed his words.
Li Lian scrolled the list down, finding the oldest when her eyes caught in one exact date which caused her to frown, "This is the sa date as when the accident happen," and her hand slowly clenched, "Xie Hue Lin did work with Wei Tsui Lan. But strange, when they t in Million Entertainnt, they didn’t seem like they know each other. I don’t know about Tsui Lan but Hue Lin is not a good actress."
"Which an while Tsui Lan knew about your sister, she doesn’t know him. Their contact must be limited only to the phone call," Li Jun Wei put on his guessing which Li Lian believed to be the closest to the possible truth.
"There is nothing in the ssage history. How is it going with Shun and Shin?" Li Lian then asked him, placing the phone down now that she had confird what she needed to see. "You did not tell what you instructed them then."
"You would see. Let’s keep the suspense should we?" Li Jun Wei asked with a smile.
"Keeping on edge, is this another lesson you took from soone else?"
"I should pull your interest now and then. It would sadden if you lose interest from ."
"That can’t be though," Li Lian painted a lopsided smile and she reached out her hand to hold the end of Li Jun Wei’s necktie which was shaped similar to an upside down triangle. "There are other things to keep interested isn’t it? Like you— your entire self is enticing to ."
Li Jun Wei who had only one hand supported on the armrest while the rest of his body standing next to the edge of the couch raised his brows, watching the prolonged movent of her hands that rolled his necktie over her palm. "Really? Then tell , Li Lian, is there anything you are hiding to ?"
Li Lian was taken aback by his rapid question, "I don’t think other than the fact that I poked your cheeks when you sleep there is anything that I was hiding."
She thought Li Jun Wei had forgotten about her lie the day before but who would guess he didn’t. She did have a faint thought that he won’t let go of the suspicion that raised in him, she didn’t now that he would ask her his way, however.
When Li Lian reached out her hand to touch his cheek, she then saw Li Jun Wei pulling back and the sudden rejection surprises her as this never happened before, "I won’t lie to you and never in the future Li Lian," he said as if reprimanding her in a subtle way. "Don’t worry your brothers would be alright."
Li Lian creased her brows, she tried to speak but nothing ca out and Li Jun Wei who once waited for her defense, realizes there was none, and decided to retreat from the room.
Startled, Li Lian asked, "Where are you going?"
"Organizing a few docunts," and he opened the door, holding it back as when he was about to close it, he heard her speak,
"Will you eat dinner with ?" She asked, her voice desperate. It was not her choice either to lie to him.
No matter how angry he could be, Li Jun Wei had a very soft corner for Li Lian, "I promise we will eat together every night. I will be there," and the door closed for Li Lian to sigh.
"Why do we need to have our first quarrel near the fight?" Whispered Li Lian to herself, sinking her head to the head of the couch as she shake her whole body. She pressed her lips, as much as she wish to be honest, with his life as a wager, it was the last thing Li Lian would do but then it would be terrible if misunderstanding stem for this.
"I need to find an indirect way to tell him about the secret," she spoke, turning the gears in her mind to find the way she ntioned.
In Japan, Shun and Shin sat in the receiving room, sitting on the wooden floor with a small pillow. Shin turned his eyes on the wall, not wanting to et the eyes of woman who sat across him while Shun kept a wall-like expression.
"Have you thought well about it?" Naomi asked, her striking red lips curling as her hair she cut short slide next to her ears.
"Yes," Shun answered, his eyes exchanging silent gaze with his older twin, "We decided to..."
