Chapter 197 - 196: Fingers-II

Okay enough, thought Li Lian. She could feel the numbers floating across her head as she thought of comparing their wealths and it wasn't a good experience. She saw his expression seeming as if he was waiting for her words but it was too much amazement that she couldn't put in a single words.

"Wow! That's a lot of wealth you have there, Mr. Li." For some reason, Li Lian began to call him formally but then again she felt she should do so.

"It's not my wealth alone." he spoke and she agreed.

"Yes, you're right it's also your family's." she whispered thinking there was his aunts, uncles, grandparents, and Li Xiao Chen.

"No, the rest of my family have their own shares apart from mine." There was still left after all of that?!

"Oh." she uttered in a low tone. "You will still be wealthy even if you don't work for years, Jun Wei!"

"Mhm," he agreed but seeing her awe expression he added, "And it is also your wealth."

"Yes, my- Mine too?" Li Lian exclaimed to see Li Jun Wei chuckling at her fresh and clumsy expression. Lifting his finger, he took her left hand and pulled the golden ring she had made as a necklace to showcase it in front of her.

"You're my wife. Everything what's mine is yours and what's yours is yours." Meaning he didn't need anything other than Li Lian herself. She felt her heart skipped a few beats and she didn't know since when she had been holding her mouth to gape.

"You're right," she whispered shyly, her head was filling dizzy and steamy with his words that it took her a lot of time to think. To think that all this time she had married a billionaire. It wasn't that Li Lian didn't know anything about him completely. She knew a few facts about him and had saw the real him around the house every time she was by his side but she didn't know he was not a normal millionaire. Then she thought of how stupid she was, she could have use her phone to search for Li Jun Wei but since the person itself was right in front of her she had never questioned and didn't feel she should search for him.

"That's right!" she suddenly remember and went to take her bag to pull an invitation from her bag. "Last time, you ask to have an invitation to grandmother's birthday, didn't you? I received a new one today!" She saw Li Jun Wei took the invitation wordlessly and explained, "Xie Hue Lin gave to me for the sake of appearance, I think and I don't need two of them when I'm alone."

He had seen everything from the CCTV and knew his she had received the invitation and to think that the entire time, she had been thinking of him made his smile to widen. "I will go." Then he look up, "Will it be alright if we met you grandmother together?"

Li Lian gave a swift nod. "My grandmother, she pass seventy this year. The last time I saw her, she was so sick and weak. Her dream since before was to find me a good husband and after what happened with 'him' I think my grandmother was sad. It was her wish to meet you so it comes without a saying that I should show her the husband I married to. Isn't that right?" she crinkled her eyes, "I know it was my selfish wish to ask you hide our marriage but I promise this will stay only for half a year." her eyes were determined when she said half a year as if she had set the goal high and knew she would be able to reach it soon. "Grandmother knows my situation and she loves me unlike other people and if I tell her, I know she wouldn't tell anyone regarding our marriage."

"Okay." she felt him rubbing her head. "I believe you would be able to do so. Nu Yuan said you will be attending a tea party with the guest in the birthday party, will you be okay alone?" Though Li Jun Wei trust his family, he wasn't blind not to know how there were people who covet Li Lian's position and when he hoped it could be wrong, people's heart was one that no one could guess.

"I'll be fine, I have Violet with me too."

"Don't go too far from her." She obediently nodded and at the time, Li Jun Wei's phone suddenly rang. He took the phone reading the name of the caller for a few second and spoke, "It's from your grandfather."

Li Lian quickly inched closed toward him, as he answered the call. "Hello?"

"Hello, You're with Li Lian, Jun Wei?" it was grandfather's voice speaking slightly hoarse and parch.

"Yes, she is here right beside me."

"Grandpa!" Greeted Li Lian cheerfully but despite the bubbliness of Li Lian, the Old Master was still stern with his voice.

"Good that you two are here." he paused and muffled a cough for three time before going back to speak, "We met the son of Akasaka Family earlier. He came early than the time."

"How was he like?" Asked Li Lian, wondering how frightening Akasaka Haruhi was with the eerie rumors that have always followed him.

"He was like the rumor, he was fearless, courageous, calm, and crazy in his head." for the first two words it sounded like a great praise from the Old Master but when it comes to the last word, his tone grew stale like a foreboding thunder.

"What happened? Didn't he came only to introduce himself?" because from what she could tell from the call, the Old Master spoken from what he had experience.

"He did. Since the first time he entered the entrance of Marble House, he had killed one person not from us but from his own group. After that, he did something else that was unimaginable."

Li Lian casted her eyes upward with confusion to meet Li Jun Wei's black ones. "Can you tell me what happen from the beginning?" she asked.
