Li Jun Wei had dropped off his smile when Li Lian went to the party hall. He took a look at the young man seizing his figure subtly and noticed how the young man was a few inches shorter than him. He knew Wei Tsui Lan for quite a long time since his step cousin Li Ye Hua has been a great acquaintance with the young man since his early teens. His grandparents, uncles, and aunts in particular saw the young man almost like their own family member, that to be excepted from him as he only met the young man twice in Li's Household.
"Mr. Li, good evening. This must be our first time talking with each other personally." Wei Tsui Lan greeted politely. The curly long fringe that covered the side of his left head fell to cover his eyes and he pushed the hairs back.
"Good evening, I see that you've spoken to my wife."
"Yes, just a moment ago. I have met her once and can't help to speak to her once again. Do you want to hear of how I met Mrs. Li?" His smile showed his beautiful lined teeth, sending some sparkles that fit for a youth which was utterly different than Li Jun Wei's cold behavior.
"No need. Xiao Chen had filled me with the blanks that Li Lian helped you in danger." His eyes looked down on the man without bearing a single emotion.
"Yes, Mrs. Li had taken care of me very well. I can't express the gratefulness I had for her just by words. She is a very strong woman very fit to her name. The first time I met her was when she saved me and at the tome I almost mistook her a goddess and even now I don't see that my first impression was wrong." He spoke with a high praise, holding none of his admiration back as he speak to the husband of the woman he praised to.
"But why do I feel that your eyes have been following my wife the entire time?" He didn't bother to go through turns and turns and spoke bluntly, emphasizing his tone again as he called Li Lian his wife.
"You must be joking Mr. Li, I don't remember to ever stare at Mrs. Li for a long time. I
admire her but I can't disclose where my admiration fell for her." His reply which were neither agreeing nor denying had Li Jun Wei narrowing his eyes.
"She is my wife." The words he voiced out was clear enough for the young man to nod but it seemed his words didn't reach to his mind as Wei Tsui Lan casually stated. "I do not have anything against a married woman."
"Then you should have something against a husband, Mr. Wei. You should learn when to back down especially when you know she isn't someone of your caliber." Their gaze turned the air tense, even though Wei Tsui Lan seemed unbothered as he chuckled to Li Jun Wei, he didn't want to lower his eyes from Li Jun Wei's piercing gaze.
"But the fact that you are here still conversing with me means I still have a place to compete doesn't it?"
"I'm here only to make sure my wife wouldn't be wooed by a bothersome man who could ruin her image. Also," his words trailed and for once Li Jun Wei smiled a provocative grin. "There isn't anything to compete when the winner have been decided."
"You can't see the future, love can brew in different types and who knows when the love will change?"
"It will change but not toward the direction you expected." Firmly Li Jun Wei took a step forward. "I hope you can understand my words now Mr. Wei you are my cousin's friend I don't want to see my cousin running back to me with tears when he sees his friend being sent somewhere."
The smiles held over the youth's face stayed as he laughed at Li Jun Wei's words before his laughter died down. The servant who was ordered by Li Jun Wei came toward them but came to a halt when he saw Li Jun Wei standing tensely with a handsome young man beside him. "Is it about the order I gave you?" It took a long time for the male servant to realize who Li Jun Wei was talking to.
Bowing as he didn't want to see what kind of expression Li Jun Wei might be having, he quickly replied. "Yes, sir we have also apprehended the woman and she is currently in the security's office."
"It seemed you still have works to do, Mr. Li. Please excuse me." Wei Tsui Lan gave a polite bows despite how his eyes were flickering.
"Of course. It's late and you should go home now Mr. Wei. A youth should need more sleep for their growth." Li Jun Wei saw the young man leaving before him to a different door and went with the male servant.
Fu Wanxi sat down on the dimmed room. Her eyes darted left and right in anxiousness and the clutch on top of her skirt tightened. A few minutes ago she was just about to leave the party when the securities of the house came over her. They explained only a few words saying that someone wants to meet her and that someone is the master of the mansion. Did it have something to do with the socialites women who poured drinks on her? But that wasn't even her fault. As much as she had arguments she want to voice out, right now she is a nameless woman coming into a party as an escort of an old man.
Damn it! She cursed beneath her lips, her eyes blazing with anxiousness and fury when suddenly the door knob was pushed down. She snapped her head, words spilled from her mouth hurriedly in defend. "I don't have anything to do with those women! You can't blame me for anything! In the first case the person who should be apologizing now isn't me but those women!"
"You're loud, Ms. Fu." Li Jun Wei had a soft word however it was enough to instill the sternest of his words. Fu Wanxi's anxious eyes stopped when she saw the man who walked was a handsome man with a clean cut jaw better than any actors she had ever seen. His eyes peering down bear no emotion calm like sea before storm in front of the woman but that was what made his charm.
"I'm not here to reprimand anything of what had taken place with the party. I'm here to ask you the things you have taken from my household." Fu Wanxi was taken aback by his words. Suddenly accused met her felt even worse. Did the socialites thing she was too poor that she came to a party to steal their furnitures?
"Is this how the Li Family work? Accusing a person of such a thing without any evidence, even if you are a rich person doesn't mean you could point someone as a thief!" She felt even worse as she had just thought the man was a perfect catch.
