Chapter 215: Don't Get Over Your Head

Xiao Yun's smile became freezingly cold. She looked back at Lin Chang Lu's eyes with a vacant gaze, the one that even Lin Chang Lu who was ready to attack her now to feel chill running to her back. She took a step forward, making Lin Chang Lu to take two steps back. "Unlike you Chang Lu, I don't need hundred or thousand of people to support me nor hundreds of ways to eliminate you. If I have Li Lei by my side, no matter what it is or who it is, I can do anything."

Lin Chang Lu dropped off her smile from her words, her anger boiled to her eyes. "Don't get over your head now, Xiao Yun. You haven't seen what I can do yet."

Xiao Yun shrugged her shoulder. "I'll be waiting then."

After her words, Lin Chang Lu left the place in haste like a storm. She had too many things to find out. Her misunderstanding or perhaps the woman's misunderstanding. When she reached by the corner of the maze near the tree, Lin Chang Lu stopped for a moment and called. "Fan Gang."

A man with both black suits and a slick black hair swept over to the back appeared from the corner of the path, walking toward Lin Chang Lu and bowed. "Yes, my lady?"

"Search for everything about that woman. Her family, her school friend, whatever you could find about her, report it to me." Lin Chang Lu ordered. It was her false move to underestimate Xiao Yun but know that she know how formidable the woman is, she wouldn't let her pass easily.

Fan Gang, the black clothed man bowed. "Yes, my lady."

Like her, Xiao Yun had prepared everything too. However, unlike Lin Chang Lu who is about to prepare her steps now, Xiao Yun had done it beforehand. Xiao Yun smiled and turned her face to the tree. Seeing the beautiful tree, Xiao Yun decided to put aside her thoughts in front of the place where she met Wang Li Lei for the first time. Due to Lin Chang Lu interference, she didn't had the chance to enjoy herself and take a good look at the tree.

To her and Wang Li Lei this tree means a lot. Having to deal with Lin Chang Lu here was such a shame. In this place, it would have been better standing here beside Wang Li Lei. With that thought, Xiao Yun imagined what expression he would use while gazing at the tree. Perhaps the gentle and sweet smiling face? That's her most favorite expression. Wang Li Lei wasn't the type to smile but when he did smile, it was something that she promised to treasure forever.

Now that she remembered the gentle smile across Wang Li Lei's face, her heart yearned to see him again, she sighed internally, asking when would he come back home. Yet soon after she wished for his arrival back, the elegant figure walking out from the opposite side of the garden maze stood out to her eyes. Wearing the black suit that always fit him, having the corner of his suit blown by the wind gently like a small black waves. He moved his feet leisurely, his long legs bringing him faster and closer to the girl that he loved. When he stopped by the tree, he called her name out, with the same unchanging deep and gentle voice that he always use, making her heart tickled by the reverberating voice that reached to the depth of her heart. "Xiao Yun, I'm back."

Xiao Yun first thought that perhaps she was only hallucinating. She had missed him deeply that she almost thought that the Wang Li Lei that stood in front of her was a vivid creation of her daydream, but when she heard the voice, she realized that she wasn't dreaming at all.

"Welcome back, Li Lei!" She smiled like a blooming flower, her pink cheeks brightened in a tone of light pink. She stepped her feet's forward spreading her hand out open. Seeing her running toward him, he stepped forward, reaching his hand and caught her body lightly to his embrace.

The warmth of the two people circulated to the other person that they embraced. She lifted her chin still keeping her smile after snuggling to his chest. "When did you come back?"

"Two hours ago." Wang Li Lei replied while moving his finger to brush over the baby hairs on her forehead and gave a dainty kiss.

"You should have told me that you would come home sooner. I would immediately come to pick you up!"

"I thought of surprising you." Wang Li Lei replied, "Did I surprised you?"

"You did! But actually, I wanted to pick you up and greeted you first." She spoke with a spoiled tone.

Wang Li Lei took a moment to imagine how bright she would while greeting him in the airport and agreed with a gentle smile. "That doesn't sounds bad."

"Right?" She giggled. Xiao Yun snuggles to his chest for a moment and retract her body to stand beside him. While holding each other's hand she leaned her head to his hand. "How was your work trip? I hope everything went well abroad."

"Mhm." He returned. "Everything went well there." He looked up to the tree with her and spoke again. "This is The tree where I first meet you."

"I know." Xiao Yun replied. She giggled. "How old is this tree? It must be over eleven years but it still look the same since before."

Wang Li Lei turned his head, feeling the warmth radiating from her palm and felt all his tiredness feeling blown away in a blink of an eye. "Twenty six years."

"You took a very good care of this tree." Xiao Yun praised.

"Of course." He brushed his eyelashes over the tree, the smile that he had glowed. "After all, This tree is my treasure. When the day are gloom, when rain storm down, or when the day are good and sun is up, the tree is always here. When I saw the tree, no matter what the today or tomorrow bring me, it's a proof that I met you that day. It's a proof that you are there."

Xiao Yun tightened the grip of her hand tightly and snuggled to him. She whispered, "Mhm. It's our first meeting's proof."

Lin Chang Lu who hadn't went from the maze garden stood there only to force fed to eat dog foods that they gave. Her jealousy burned in her heart, her teeth gritted to a crack and her knuckles turned whiter from how tight she kneaded her palm. Fan Gang, her personal secretary seeing this had a frown on his brows. His eyelashes shook as he spoke. "My lady, should we go now?"

"I know!" Lin Chang Lu shouted in a fit of anger. She turned her head cursing beneath her breath. "Just wait, Xiao Yun. I'll make sure you will never laugh beside him again!" She harrumphed and strode away from the garden. Fan Gang lingered at his spot for a moment, he watched the couple standing beside the tree before turning his head with a vacant expression. "The lady's enemy is my enemy." He whispered before following Lin Chang Lu like a shadow.
