Chapter 205 - 204: Help You Bath-I

Back at home, Li Lian waited for Li Jun Wei while on her room which was also Li Jun Wei's room, she practice singing. The maids outside, in pretend of cleaning instead, save their time to stand outside the door of the room, enjoying Li Lian's singing voice freely and at times clap very slowly so the sound wouldn't be heard. About three maids have gathered outside the room, they were holding brush and mop, while the other one held nothing and crouch on the floor to enjoy the song while humming along when they found songs they also knows.

Bo Shiao meanwhile, stood at the corridor which was empty and c.o.c.ked his head. When he found a passing maid he called, "Wait, Fu Er."

The maid, Fu Er turned her face, finding Bo Shiao she came and ask, "What is it?"

"Where is Xue? She is suppose to be here cleaning the room here but this room is still in the same state as before." he said with a frown.

Fu Er went to check the room and seeing the room with dusts, she also inclined her head in confusion, "I don't know too."

"If you don't know where Xue is, what about Mei? The kitchen is empty."

Bo Shiao was frowning with the disappearance of the maid and Fu Er was also surprise, "She is gone too?" Now that she think about it, not only Xue, Mei, but the rest of the maid that we're with her also disappeared. "Maybe..." Fu Er whispered with a hesitant voice.

Bo Shiao looked at her, "Maybe what?"

"Maybe they were taken by ghosts in this mansion?" the maid asked innocently and felt shivered from fear.

"No way! What age do you think we are living in?" Bo Shiao dismissed, "Anyway help to search them, I've went through he first floor maybe they are in the second.

"I will come with you!" Fu Er said, catching up to him out of fear that he would maybe the next one to disappear.

Violet stood behind the staircase and heard the sound of footsteps as she went out of the room with peanuts in her hands. Seeing the male servant going up, she narrowed her eyes and followed them.

Back in the bedroom, Li Lian cleared her throat, after a pause of singing and trying to hit many notes of the song she would be singing, she felt there was an odd pitch in the song that didn't fit with the song and thought to fix the matter with Du Zhen.

Her head turned to the door. She wondered why does she felt like she heard whispering behind the door and went to open the door and immediately met the maids who had been standing around heading her singing.

"What are you guys doing here?" It was Bo Shiao who asked before Li Lian. She also looked at the maids with a questioning expression, wondering why they were in front of the door and the maids who look at her had a guilty faces.

"We are very sorry, miss." the maids immediate apologized for their mistakes not wanting to be fired or scolded.

Li Lian smiled and inclined her head, "What are you all apologizing for?"

The maids stared at each other before one speak, "We have been here to hear you singing for a very long time."

"That's why you are not all in your post!" Bo Shiao shook his head and looked at Li Lian, "I'm sorry miss Li Lian, I will make sure to teach the maids again so they wouldn't repeat the mistake."

In the first case, Li Lian didn't know what mistake they did and saw Bo Shiao bringing the maids away to scold them before she could ask. Following from behind was Violet, she held her peanuts and threw up to the aid and tried to take it by her mouth when she met Li Lian.

"Did something happened with the maids just now?" asked Li Lian.

Violet shrugged her shoulder, giving the same clueless expression, "I don't know, I only followed them."

She nodded and saw Violet passing to another corridor. Left in front of the door, Li Lian closed it shut and only shook her head in wonder. When Li Jun Wei came back home, it was eleven at night. She had heard beforehand from Li Xiao Chen how busy Li Jun Wei was but he often made sure to come faster home to spend time with her which she was grateful of.

Li Lian was sitting when she heard her room opened and her head turned to look at the man standing in front of the door. He was clothed in black inner shirt and in his arm was the gray suit he held as his hand was tucked inside his trouser pocket. Seeing Li Lian, a smile spread across his charming face. Li Jun Wei rarely smiled but when he did, there was no one who couldn't help but smile back with a splash of pink color coloring their cheeks like what Li Lian had now.

It had been only a few weeks since she realize how she had also fell in love for Li Jun Wei and she realized perhaps much more than she felt, she had loved him deep.

"Welcome back home." she greeted warmly, her smile crinkling with happiness as her hand closed the book she was reading.

"I'm back." he replied and walked to take a seat beside her.

"How was your work?" she asked and Li Jun Wei was happy that she had question about him. It was a sign that she began to want to know more about him, having mo re interest toward him.

"It was alright nothing happened. Rather than my boring everyday story about work, what about you? I want to hear what you do for the day." he said and Li Lian wondered how could Li Jun Wei made her heart jump and flip in her chest by the small gentle question he ask? It was as if she was right in the middle of his palm, moving when he moved and jumped when he jumped. She felt the reason behind every little raise in her heartbeat was his doing.
