Chapter 79：Persuade Her For The Last Time.

Chirp! Chirp!

The chirping sound makes Aurora opens her eyes slowly. She turns to the side and looks at the glass door.

The curtain was blown by the winds and it so refreshing. She sits up and looks around the bed.

'Huh, why did this room not looks like my room yesterday?'

She turns her head around and stares at the room's decoration. 'Yup, not like the last night.'

Clack!

Yin Li just finish bathing and he looks down at Aurora who just wakes up. His eyes suddenly fix on her bathrobe which is open in her breast area.

"Yin Li?" Aurora was surprised seeing Yin Li in the room and just finished taken the bath.

His face suddenly flustered red and he immediately diverts his eyes to somewhere else. He clearing his throat a bit.

Flinch a bit, she looks down to her chest and she immediately fixes her bathrobe. Her face is also a bit red.

"You should return to your room now." He said and went to wear his shirt.

"Oh, yes.." She stands up and ready to go. She turns to look at him who is busy picking his belongings in the room.

He wants to check-out and went back to Imperial city as soon as possible.

"Er... Yin Li, about yesterday…"

Looks up to her, he stares at her with an expressionless face.

"What about it?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hit you."

"It's okay. I was always your punchbag anyway. And..he's right, I'm not suitable for you. I forgot that I am poor." He said and turn his body back against her.

His answer struck Aurora's heart. Clenching his fist on her chest, she turns around and leaves him to her room.

…

Aurora went down to the lobby after 30 minutes and she had breakfast with Ke MingQu before they drive back to Imperial city.

In the car, Ke MingQu noticed that Aurora seems a bit quiet than yesterday.

"Is something bothering you?" He asked.

"Erm..nothing.." She smiles and then diverts her eyes to the outside of the window.

"You know, about this Omiai..if you think that I am your best candidate, just tell your dad. We will hold a ceremony the next month after."

"Hmm..okay."

"So did you have any candidate besides me?"

"I don't think so.."

"That's good then."

He parks at the entrance of the main house and opens the door for her.

Richard and Hai Rin already waiting for her at the front of the door.

"Thank you Ke MingQu. It was such a nice date we have." She thanks him.

"My pleasure to please you." He bows a little before he bows to both of her parents.

"Then, I'll see you around?"

"Sure."

After Ke MingQu's car drive off from the entrance, Richard and Hai Rin turn to look at their daughter.

"So how did it go?" Hai Rin asks excitedly.

"Well, he's good and nice." She scratches her temple a bit.

"Just good and nice? You both spend a night yesterday at the outskirt. Nothing happen?" Hai Rin is not satisfied with her daughter answer.

"Mommy! Daddy, look at your wife..so bold." She bristled and turn a bit red. Well, she was red because she not spending her night with Ke MingQu, but she sleeps in Yin Li's room.

"Why you flustered? Did he really do something to you?" Richard asks with a bit serious.

"Darling…who cares whether they do it or not..they're still young.."

"Honey, don't teach something so impudent to our child."

"She's married..she must have experienced it. Right, Aur baby?"

"Oh god…Mom…." She passes by her parents and went to her bedroom.

…

Whirling sound makes Aslan frowned his eyebrow a bit trying to hear what his chauffeur said to him.

"What?" He said a bit loud.

"Welcome to Imperial, Sir."

"Oh..Thanks.." He smiles and looks at the blue sky happily.

'Athena..wait for me. I wanna give a surprise to you.'

He went inside the car and the chauffeur drives him to Athena's home.

After 15 minutes, they arrive at her house. Aslan had a spare key. He copy the key when he was staying here with Athena.

Open the door, he brings the luggage to the bedroom and took a bath. After he was done, he went downstairs and his eyes caught a small glass cottage at the lawn. He frowned and opened the sliding glass door.

"When did she build this?" He mumbles and went to the inside of the glass cottage.

Inside is full of the tools and arts sculptor. There is a few drawing which is cover with a white cloth. It feels like this is her workshop.

Aslan feels a bit uneasy, he knows Athena can draw but he never knew that Athena had this kind of workshop. Plus, the room is not looking like it's new. All inside this room like its have been years and a lot of thing like a brush has been used for so many times.

The curiosity in his heart makes him open one of the huge frame which is covered with a white cloth. Once he opens it, he was totally shocked.

"This…" He touches the canvas and runs his finger until at the edge of the canvas frame. He is very familiar with the signature on the edge of the drawing.

"Nike.."

He then starts to open up one by one of the frame, and all of them had the same signature. Nike.

"That night…she was there? The one..wait, all her paintings..is her childhood memory? The masterpiece is actually me? Why did she never say anything about this?"

"Wait! Zoro knows about this too." He then searches Zoro's contact but to no avail, he then calls his company and gets a piece of news that Zoro is in the vacation. Going fishing with family and friends.

He pinches his space between his eyebrow. "He still going out with Athena..and yet, why did she never tell me?"

He takes his jacket and went to his family-in-law mansion.

There's must be some explanation, after all, he never visits them after they married.

…

Yin Li went to his home after he check-out from the hotel. He staring at his flight ticket for tomorrow.

"Come on Li, just try for the last time. If she really wants to have a happy life without me, then…I think I should move on." He tries to courage up.

He packs all his suit and everything. He decides to move in Southern city, thus this house and his asset will be sell to the real estate company and the money he gets he wants to start a new life.

He likes the little house that he used to live with Aurora. There's so much memory in it. He wants to buy that house after he gets the money from selling his asset here.

After he settles everything that he needs to do before he going back, he drives to Lee mansion. Trying to persuade her for the last time.
