Chapter 36 - Liu Longwei tells a lie.

Standing beside Chen Lihua, she held the latter's hands saying, "Lihua this is Liu Longwei's house and it's also yours from today onwards. Take care of yourself".

After speaking, she hugged Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei as well.

She told Liu Longwei to take care of Chen Lihua before his trip tomorrow.

"Take care of yourself and Lihua tonight and have a safe trip tomorrow".

Liu Longwei patted Madam Liu's back during the short hug before replying, "OK mother. Call me once you get home".

Madam Liu gave Chen Lihua one last hug before going back inside the car.

Seeing that they had finished chatting, Asst Duyi got down from the car. He opened the booth and brought Chen Lihua's luggage out.

Liu Longwei immediately took the travelling bag from him.

Liu Longwei told Asst Duyi to come by 8am tomorrow morning for their 9am flight to Paris.

He also told him to take his car that was in the Liu Villa back to his house as his ride for tonight and to return with the car the next morning.

After speaking with Asst Duyi, he took a few steps away from the car and stood beside Chen Lihua.

Asst Duyi got into the car and drove off.

The two (Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua) watched the car drive away till it left their sight.

Just then, Liu Longwei said to Chen Lihua, "Let's go in".

They guards patrolling outside, greeted them amicably.

One of the guards approached them, "Sir let me help you with the bag".

Liu Longwei refused, "I will do it myself".

And with that, Liu Longwei took Chen Lihua inside and made her seat in the living room.

There was no spare slippers for Chen Lihua to wear so, Liu Longwei let her go in like that.

Liu Longwei also didn't bother changing his shoes so, both husband and wife went into the living room with their shoes stuck to their feet.

Liu Longwei left Chen Lihua's traveling bag beside her and went to the kitchen to get a glass of fruit juice for her.

When Liu Longwei left, Chen Lihua familiarized herself with what she was seeing by looking around.

In no time, Liu Longwei returned with a glass of fruit juice and handed it to Chen Lihua.

"Thank you". And with that, Chen Lihua took the juice from him.

Chen Lihua drank half of the juice before handing it back to Liu Longwei, "Am OK, I can't drink anymore".

Hearing her explanation, Liu Longwei took the glass cup from her.

He held the glass cup to his lips, he placed his lips on another side of the glass different from the side Chen Lihua drank from, and with that, he finished the juice.

Chen Lihua watched him drink the remaining juice up.

Liu Longwei brought the empty glass away from from his lips and caught Chen Lihua looking at him.

So he asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?".

Chen Lihua said, "Nothing".

Liu Longwei didn't believe Chen Lihua's reply. He knew she was surprised that she drank the remaining juice, so he explained, "Although am wealthy, but I don't like wasting resources. So I had to finish up your drink because you're my wife and there's nothing wrong with that".

Chen Lihua nodded her head to show that she understood what he was saying.

Chen Lihua was actually really surprised that Liu Longwei drank from the same cup as she did.

She would have been more shocked if Liu Longwei had drank from the same side of the glass as she did but luckily for her heart, he didn't.

Chen Lihua thought that if she was to be in his shoes, she would have poured the remaining Juice into the sink without batting an eye because to her, they (Chen Lihua and Liu Longwei) were not close.
