Chapter 108 - 35.6 - I suggest Senior also tread carefully. (1/2)
Afternoon came, and Li Jinghua went over to the vacant villa that was just beside her house after eating lunch. Earlier, she had already called for the cleaning crew to help clean the villa so that it would look presentable to the client. Opening the door, she looked around the place and was satisfied with the cleaning work.
When An Yunxu came with his agent, Li Jinghua proceeded to give them a tour around the villa. All the while, she acts as a professional, despite feeling that An Yunxu is deliberately trying to probe into her personal life. To be exact, trying to probe more about Li Xinwen's wellbeings.
Li Jinghua politely replied, but never delved deeper into her personal life. When the tour ends and they exits the villa, Li Jinghua heard An Yunxu ask once more.
”Miss Li, is Xiao Xinwen's condition that bad? I noticed that you tend to avoid answering my question. I am only worried for my junior, ah!” An Yunxu said. ”Also, since I am free and nearby. Do you think it is possible to pay him a visit? I won't disturb his rest. I promise. I only wanted to talk about work-related matters with him, after all, he was the supposed to be the one to act the role I have right now. I wanted some pointers from him.”
An Yunxu has an amicable smile on his face, but Li Jinghua was someone who had experienced the apocalypse. She had learned how to sense malice from someone and at this moment, Li Jinghua could sense that An Yunxu was planning something.
”My brother might be resting at this-”
”Hua-jie!”
Li Jinghua heard a familiar voice calling out to her at a distance and when she turned her head over to the direction of the source, she saw Li Xinwen on the balcony of his room, waving at her. In the end, Li Jinghua was unable to lie to An Yunxu and could only wave back to her brother.
”It looks like Xiao Xinwen is up and awake. Pengfei, go and grab that get well gift from the car,” An Yunxu told his agent who then went to the car to get the gift.
From the balcony, Li Xinwen was staring at the trio with a deep look. Earlier, when he left the dimension for lunch, he saw Li Jinghua's message about An Yunxu. So he didn't go back to the dimension as planned. When he sensed two foreign spiritual signature, Li Xinwen trained his ears to listen to their conversation. To his surprise, he found out something that made his neutral stance on An Yunxu became hostile.
Seeing An Yunxu conversing with his sister, and hearing how Li Jinghua is about to chase An Yunxu away from visiting him, Li Xinwen can only call out to her. He didn't want his sister to meddle with his problem.
'It's alright if you were only a rival in the entertainment world, but to actually cause harm and even almost killing me, I don't think I can let this off,' Li Xinwen thought to himself. But when he realized what he was thinking, Li Xinwen froze in place. He took several deep breaths and calmed his mind. 'I might've fallen too deep into this act... keep yourself together, Xinwen. You and the original are two people of different soul.'
He continued to watch as Li Jinghua talked to An Yunxu, silently eavesdropping on their conversation as they made their way to the Li family house. Seeing this, Li Xinwen gave them a friendly wave once more, before going back inside. He went down in a relaxed manner then slowly made his way to the entrance. When he opened the door, Li Jinghua, An Yunxu and his agent had just arrived in front of the door.
”Come on in, ba. But be quiet, my mother is resting in her room,” Li Xinwen informed them.
”Xiao Wen, ah. It's good to see that you are well,” An Yunxu said with a smile. ”This is a gift from me. I apologize for not being able to visit you before this. As you know, my schedule is packed.”
Li Xinwen received the gift from An Yunxu, which was a basket of fruit as well as a small box wrapped in gift wrapping. ”It's alright, Senior An. Xinwen understand,” Li Xinwen replied with a smile.
”Ah'Wen, I have to go back to work. If anything happens, reach out to 'us', alright?” Li Jinghua said with a slightly worried expression. The 'us' she mentions naturally the people in the group chat.
Hearing this, Li Xinwen let out a burst of a low chuckle. ”Hua-jie, what is there to be worried about? It's not like an 'accident' can happen inside the house,” as Li Xinwen uttered the word accident, his eyes landed on An Yunxu. Though Li Xinwen was smiling, there was a cold glint present in his eyes. An Yunxu suddenly felt cold, as if being doused in ice water. An Yunxu's heart suddenly filled with worry, wondering if Li Xinwen found out that he had his hands in his accident.
