Chapter 21.

*****

Ah Lam waited patiently for Li Lian's call. She hoped Zhi Ruo delivered her message.

"Aunt sit down. He will call soon" Yulan advised. They woke up this morning and the first thing Ah Lam wanted to do was to call the young master that came here last night. She was worried because of the state he was when he came.

Yulan wished she saw the young master that Yang Mi spoke about last night. She slept off while listening to the story of his success. It seemed he was the king of the city.

"Mom, calm down. Zhi Ruo said she went to work early today" Yang Mi tried to convince her mother. "I am sure he is still at your home with that witch called Chu Hua."

Ah Lam gave her a dead look. How many times was she going to explained to her daughter that Chu Hua was Li Lian's only wife and no matter what, she should respect her.

"I am sorry Mom . Its just came out of my mouth" She apologized.

Yulan smiled. Despite her running mouth, Yang Mi was still respectful. She remembered her own mother. Its was drama upon drama in the sea. They were going to miss her down there.

"Why did you hate Chu Hua so much?" Yulan asked. She has been wondering about it since yesterday.

"Every young woman in Beijing hates her" Ah Lam answered. "They said, she got married to the love of their life . Can you imagine that?"

"She deserves the Hatred. I mean, will you sit back and watch another woman take your love away from you?" Yang Mi asked. Yulan beamed at her. Was she taking this serious?

"No. I will fight till my last breath to be with the person I love" she answered. Her mind went far as she tried to recall the last conversation she had with Li Lian.

(Flash back begins)

"I will do anything for you Yulan. My sun and moon, all in one. You shine both during the day and night" he said, kissing her forehead.

"I love you more" Lian She told him. "When will be back?"

His blue eyes enticed her a lot. How did he survived out there, when her mother's concierge said , the female humans try to rape cute men.

Li Lian was beyond cute. He was the most beautiful being , she have ever seen. His smile was as innocent as a baby's smile.

"As soon as I find my people. I will tell them that I have found a special woman."

(Flash back ends)

"Yulan ?" Yang Mi called again. She was shocked with the way she sat without blinking her eyes nor moving any part of her body.

Ah Lam moved to where Yulan was and she touched her.

She jerked when they touched her. Quickly, Ah Lam hugged her tight. "Don't be scared my dear."

Yulan laid her head on Ah Lam's shoulders . The journey has just begun but she was already of waiting for Li Lian.

"I missed my fiancé" She cried.

"Who is your fiancé ?" they asked in chorus.

She was awake even though her eyes were still shut. Chu Hua touched the space were Li Lian normally sleep, it's  was vacant.

She opened her eyes immediately and sat up on the bed. Was he taking his bath?

Standing up from the bed, she wore a slippers and went in to the bathroom, Li Lian was not there.

Chu Hua went downstairs to ask the rest of the family members if, they saw him this morning.

They were having breakfast without her. Li Xian was dressed for school already. All thanks to Li Qin, she always handle his stress.

"Good morning mother" Chu Hua greeted. Yan Zi was not at the table as well.

"Morning. Are you not going to the office?" Muqin asked. Chu Hua was still dressed in her night gown and she looked like she has not pour water in her body.

"I was in the hurry Muqin. Have any of you seen Li Lian?"

Li Xian was excited to see his mother because she hardly dressed him up for school. By this time of the day, she was already at her work place "Mom , are you taking me to school?"

"Please don't start Xian. I am already stressed out because of your father" Chu Hua replied.

"Li Lian left for work" Li Qin answered without looking at her. She was trying her best to feed Li Xian , who was not paying attention.

"And no one care to tell me about it?" Chu Hua screamed with annoyance.

Both Muqin and Li Xian stared at her. As for Li Qin, she did not waste her to look up . Chu Hua wanted to create a scene again.

"We don't own you an explanation" Li Qin answered. "Who do expect to go and wake you up? Li Lian slept on same bed with you last night and yet you don't know when he got up from the bed!"

"Don't talk to me like that Li Qin" she snapped at her.

"Stop it Li Qin" Muqin intervened. Turning to Chu Hua, she said, "go and freshen up. Li Lian is at the office. You can drop by and see him."

"Thank you Muqin" Chu Hua went back to her room. Her mother in law's idea was not bad at all.

Li Qin cursed in her mind. She could not wait for her Big sister to come back from the trip she went to. Fixing Chu Hua in rightful place was a thing , she loved to do.
