39 Complicated Past

Elena followed William and entered his room. She was not brave enough to walk around despite his bedroom was as huge as her apartment and filled with expensive accessories because it was her first time entering a man's room. As much as she wanted to touch the earthen vases and some art works displayed, she had to bear with it. She needed to endure all the temptation - the art works before her eyes.

Elena was an art enthusiast. Although she had no DNA for making an artwork, she, at least was able to discern the value of an art. She would transform into an entire different personality whenever she saw artwork which could evoke her curiosity. So, when she saw some art works in his room, she stunned. She felt that she had gone to an antique museum, not a man's bedroom.

When Elena entered the door, she saw some antique vases stood on the tables placed on the left side and right side of the door. The moment she saw the table, Elena was instantly able to tell the type of wood it was made from. It was made from sandalwood. The distinct faint smell as well as the texture of the wood was too familiar to her. She remembered that her dad also had a desk made from sandalwood. It was so expensive that she could smell the scent of new released money.

If she only saw the table, she would definitely be surprised. But, after she saw the vases, she instantly stiffened.

On the table, she saw a very familiar vase. She ever saw it on the internet. 'It is Qianlong vase! Holy sh*t!' Elena cursed inwardly. She ever read in an article that this 300 years old vase was sold at an auction in England for 43 millions poundsterling. If she converted it to Z Country currency yuan, she could have already imagined so many zero figures.

Not only that, she also saw some vases that she had seen before. Well, she was an art enthusiast. Though she had no much money to spend on artworks, at least she could appreciate it from a far despite her desire to appreciate the artworks couldn't be quenched fully.

So, when she saw the vases and other artworks that she could only see from distance before her eyes, she was so excited. Her eyes was sparkling as her desire to molest, no, to appreciate the artworks reached an unprecedented height. She was like a pilgrim who finally found an oasis in the middle of desert.

Even so, she couldn't act carelessly. First, the artworks were expensive in price and rare so she could not touch it directly as some preparations were necessary. And the moat important thing was, she was in his room. She must never let her guard down. She was in his lair, so what if he pounced at her suddenly like what he said before?

William looked at Elena who followed him. He surreptitiously glanced at his girlfriend. The moment he saw her hesitated expression, he immediately knew what she was thinking. "You can do everything you want later. But now, please follow me." William took her hand as he walked to his closet.

Elena was speechless. Was he an esper? Why could she read her mind? Unable to contain her curiosity, she looked up and asked, "Darling, why do you know what i'm currently thinking?"

William stopped when he heard her question. He stared at her intently while thinking the answer. After some seconds, he replied, "I don't know."

"You don't know?" Elena looked at him with doubt.

"Yes. I do not know." William answered. The fact was, he indeed didn't know why he could respond what she was thinking accordingly. Even he was surprised by this fact. He only knew that he was too familiar with Elena compared to his family members.

"Really?"

"Ummm...let me think about it." William tapped his chin with his index finger as his eyes wandered around the room. Then he said as he tilted his head. "Probably because i fall in love with you?"

Elena was stunned. She asked in confusion. "What do you mean?"

William answered immediately. "Because after i fall in love with you, I began to find everything about you."

"So, simply to say, you stalk me?" Elena infuriated. Her tone was menacing and cold. "To which extent did you stalk me?"

William gulped his saliva as he cursed himself inwardly. His mouth was too lousy! William decided that from now on, he would not speak carelessly. Lest his wife would be mad at him. Now, he needed to appease her highness in front of him. He said as he shook his head. "No..no...no. It's not stalk. It's called information gathering okay? About to which extent, i only invesigated about your hobby and your living place. Beside that, i didn't do anything. I swear." William raised both his hands as if he was a criminal caught by the police.

Elena squinted her eyes. She stared at him with a doubtful look. "Really."

"Yes...yes. Really, i swear." William nodded his head fervently. He did invesigated her but it was limited to her basic information like personal information, hobby, circle of friends as well as her ex-boyfriend. He didn't invesigated her past or anything beyond that because it was rude for him to investigate her to such extent.

Elena sighed in relief. Although she couldn't fully trust William's answer, she at least knew that there was a probability that he didn't investigate everything about her, especially her past.

It was not that she against such action. She would also investigate everything about her boyfriend if she was in William's situation. Well, the exception was Liu Tang because she was so blind and stupid at that time.

It was just her past was too dark and she kept many unspeakable secrets. She knew that no one would ever find about her secrets. But how about her past? Indeed, it was difficult to find her past but it was not impossible, especially for a man of William's caliber. If he found about her complicated past, would she speak to justify herself to him for everything she had done in the past? What if he looked at her in disdain? What if he hate her? Countless of what if's were constructed in her mind.

From this point, Elena subconsciously wanted to present him the best of her, the flawless Elena. She didn't realize that she intended to impress him, her boyfriend.
