167 The Wolf cubs

" Erm… How should I address you?" Xia Lian was not sure as what he was called. She could not possibly call him as owner or landlord. It would be rude. Weighing all the options in her mind, she decided that it would be best to be straight forward.

" Lidan…" the man finally spoke and she had to admit that his voice was comforting and soothing to one's ears. She didn't know why but she felt a vague sense of familiarity after hearing his voice.

" Do we know each other?" Lidan stiffened on hearing her words.

" No, you must be mistaken." Lidan spoke slowly and a hint of sadness can be traced in them. But, Xia Lian was distracted and she failed to notice the small detail. Xia Lian nodded her head and dismissed the uneasy feeling in her heart.

' I did not meet him before. I must have been mistaken.' she thought to herself.
