62 Unwanted Company

Liang Jian Amal scowled at the unwanted interruption and intended to ignore the persistent knocking, but it became louder, and more insistent. Chang cast a worried look at the door before looking at him crossing her arms across her chest out of shyness. The man sighed before placing a light peck on her lips. He grabbed his pants off the ground pursing his lips as she grabbed the sheets and wrapped herself in them.

The man marched to the door pissed at whoever had interrupted his long awaited moment. He cracked the door to prevent whoever was in it from seeing more than his figure and stony face.

Hao Jin Ying stood on the other side anxiously holding her satellite phone, when she saw her boss's asura-like face, she backed away a couple of steps unconsciously.

"This had better be worth it." He fixed her with a piercing glare demanding an explanation.

Hao Jin Ying held up the phone as a sacrificial tribute to his anger, looking away as she quickly whispered, "Chairman Liang is on the phone for you."

'Well, shit.' He expected to hear from the old man but not this soon.

"Hand the phone to me, you may take your leave."

Hao Jin Ying didn't need to be told twice and she quickly hurried away after handing him the phone. Liang Jian Amal looked at the woman sitting on the bed looking at him with doe-like eyes and he stepped out into the large antechamber closing the door behind him.

He pressed the phone to his ear, composing himself for a moment before he spoke.

"Hello father."

"Dont you 'hello father me, you ungrateful little bastard." The older man screamed through the phone at him. "Where are you, I did not pass my company on to you to lead just to neglect it for over 24 hours, after having spent a year if time and countless resources on a worthless nameless woman!"

Liang Jian Amal tightened his grip on his phone hearing his father's words.

"My wife is neither worthless or nameless. Her name is Chang Xie Dumont, you would do well to remember it as she will be the one to mother your granchildren."

Liang Jian Amal held the phone tightly fingers curling as his blood boiled hearing his father insult Chang. After a moment his rage subsided and he quietly padded back into the room to sit beside Chang, who was cocooned in the sheets. Only her small face peeked out of the material and a few fingers as she held the material closed below her chin.

"Is everything alright?" Chang could see the storm clouds in his eyes despite the calm front he tried to show.

Liang Jian Amal studied her face intently committing it to memory. "Just stuff with the company, I have to go back to China for a bit."

"For how long?"

"Just a few days or so, not long."

"Oh." Chang for some reason felt unwilling to let him leave. Her eyes wandered down to her fingers as she internally warred.

'It's not like hes going to be gone long, only a few days, why do I feel upset. This isn't like last year at all. He needs to take care of his things, I shouldn't stand in the way of that, it's not right. I really dont want you to go.. I cant say that.'

Liang Jian Amal looked at her small face fallen with disappointment. He reached out and secured her chin between his fingers forcing her to look into his eyes.

"I will be back in a few days, Chang." Her eyes started to wander away, liquid showing in them. He squeezed her chin tighter and called her name forcefully and her blue eyes came back to his. "Be patient, I will come back for you." He stroked his fingers along the side of her fair smooth cheek. He planted a kiss between her brows, inhaling her scent.
