Chapter 286 - 287: Questions In Hatred

With the constant rain in Shanghai, the sky was gloom without sunlight. Xiao Yun who had woken up from her sleep found the pain on her leg lessened. Supporting herself with one hand on the surface of the bed, she walked down to see whether she could walk and trotted like a newborn dawn toward the nearest window. Thankfully, her wound didn't hit a bad nerve and she didn't break a bone. Shifting her gaze to see the light shower against the clear sky, she held her hand over the surface of the window for cold sensation to pass by her fingertips.

She exhaled a sigh. Yesterday was the day they had planned to announce their engagement and yet before they could do that, she was harmed. But in her mind now something else added to her stress. Her dream when she passed out from the blood loss, the dream where Choi Yeon Jun was. She gripped her hand into a fist. In her dream, Choi Yeon Jun killed the people who killed her parents and imprisoned her brother.

How did the memory came over her mind? There wasn't any blue gem with her and at that time the power didn't affect her. Then was the memory she received was fake? But how could a fake memory felt that real? Her mind was in chaos, she was at loss in what she should believe or feel.

But nevertheless after she saw the memory, the hatred she had for Choi Yeon Jun didn't change. She still despise him to the core as the person who have destroyed the people she loved. When perhaps it was true Choi Yeon Jun hadn't killed her parents, it didn't change the fact he tried to harm Wang Li Lei and her.

It was hard to think the memory came out of no where, especially when it was Choi Yepn Jun's memory. Someone must have used the same power as the blue gem held to her. But who? What was their purpose? Are they telling her to forgive Choi Yeon Jun?

Her inky eyes turned colder and vacant.

If that was what they are trying to achieve then they have failed. She could never forgive him. For what he did, she could never and will never. It made her furious with how the way the person gave her the memory tried to change her anger.

Leaning her head for it to bump to the cold glass, Xiao Yun covered her head with her hand. Just then she heard a clicking noise and turned her eyes toward the door to see Yue entering the room silently. Finding Xiao Yun had strolled to the window a color of surprise was visible to Yue's face, "Good morning, my lady. Please do not walk your wounds are still fresh." Her polite voice came out.

Xiao Yun shook her head, "No, I'm fine it doesn't hurt anymore."

"But you should get more sleep." It wasn't Yue who talked this time but Wang Li Lei who appeared behind the maid. When Wang Li Lei entered, Yue went to refill the jar of water that she came for and left quietly.

Wang Li Lei came beside her and saw how her body shivered to take her hand which felt like ice. "You've turn cold." He said wondering why when the room wasn't that much cold and took both of her palm to share his body warmth.

"The rain make me cold but you are warm, warm me up." She smiled and went to snuggled at his shoulder. Waves of serenity wrapped her, calming her gall nerves.

Rubbing her back, he carried her to the bed and sat down to bring her on top of his laps. He saw her lashes casting down shadows over her big rounded eyes. The way the few strands of her hair sticking out to fall over her eyes made her expression sullen or more precisely angered. "What are you thinking?" His voice came out to bring her attention away from minding her thoughts. Wang Li Lei didn't take long to find how her eyes was stirred by emotions about to burst.

"Li Lei," she whispered and pursed her lips first to say, "How much do you hate your uncle who killed your parents?"

Wang Li Lei didn't ask for reason first like how he had always did and spoke quickly. "I hate him." He used the softest words but with the volcanic eyes he used brimming with hatred which still hadn't extinguished even after the years passed when he killed his own uncle, it showed enough of how his deep hatred was. One without a bottom to reach.

"He killed my parents and I could never forgive him. Even to this day I'm still happy I could kill him and avenge my parents." The way he replied to her question helped her to know more of his emotion.

"But what if." She saw how his unwavering black eyes stared back at her and looked down. "What if then you know he wasn't the one who killed your parents? Even though he did wrongful things to harm you and the people you love but he wasn't the one who killed your parents would you still hate him?" He can't understand why Xiao Yun asked him these questions but she knew she must be leading to something. Wang Li Lei noticed too the change of her expression but to his note he also noticed that Xiao Yun was currently drowsy from the medicine that was given to her.

Pausing for a moment, he then pulled a cold smile. "I will still hate him and kill him." As evil as it sounds to other, it wasn't to him. People who harm his family deserve whatever punishment he rules. It showed with clarity of how he treasure the people he love.

Then it was his turn to ask her. "What if you are in my position, would you do the same thing?"

A frosty smile stayed on her lips as she replied with the same iciness as Wang Li Lei who mentioned his uncle, "Me too, I would have done the same." She didn't ask him these questions only to feel guilty toward Choi Yeon Jun. Even if he wasn't the one who killed her parents or imprisoned her brother, the man had harmed Wang Li Lei and everyone near her. He killed her and destroyed her happiness and the fact didn't change.

It was because she felt angry that she asked these questions. She wanted to know how Wang Li Lei would feel and they held the same emotions.
