"Well, Yan Tian, at the end of the day, what are you?" Upon mentioning his past, Liu Ruoxin asked quite curiously.
Since she was together with Yan Tian, Liu Ruoxin truly didn"t know what he had done. She really was quite curious of him. Why were Yan Tian"s skills so great?
Although Yan Tian appeared to be a delinquent, from what she could see since the last time he had judged coffee in her home, he was nothing like on. Furthermore, on the day of the wine reception, he had explained how to drink red wine as well. It was completely inconsistent with how he currently was. Moreover, that day when he had danced, his dancing had been rather formal.
But the most important bit was that Yan Tian had killed a man that night, but nothing had surprisingly come of it. Liu Ruoxin had definitely believed the police would come investigate, but considering they hadn"t found out, how could he enter the police station last time without the tiniest bit of dread?
"Uhh…… I"m just a little city dweller; what can be done?" Yan Tian shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Don"t fool me. Since you"re my husband now, I have the right to understand you." Liu Ruoxin said earnestly.
"Geez, how come you don"t believe me? I"m just a little city dweller."
Yan Tian naturally wouldn"t speak foolishly of himself as an a.s.sa.s.sin. If Liu Ruoxin truly was his wife, then he would"ve completely disclosed everything to her, but right now, she simply wasn"t. How could he speak casually about such an important matter?
"You trying to trick a three-year-old? I want to understand you!" Liu Ruoxin pouted and looked at Yan Tian pitifully.
Looking at Liu Ruoxin"s pitifully lovely appearance, Yan Tian asked: "You truly want to know?"
"Yes!" Liu Ruoxin immediately nodded her head mechanically.
"Hehe, good, if you truly marry me, then I"ll tell you, how about that? Isn"t it worthwhile?" Yan Tian said and revealed his roguish nature once more.
"You…… In your dreams!" Originally, Liu Ruoxin was prepared to listen to Yan Tian"s story, but once she heard his words, she immediately stretched her hand out to his waist and pinched him.
Yan Tian clearly didn"t expect Liu Ruoxin to suddenly pinch him, and since in the end he was of flesh and blood, he grimaced in pain, thinking to himself how could she like pinching people so much?
Liu Ruoxin had pinched Yan Tian quite a few times in recent memory, so he felt it was quite necessary to teach her a bit of a lesson.
"Geez, my darling wife, it"s not a good habit for you to keep on always pinching people!" Yan Tian suddenly dodged behind Liu Ruoxin and drew her into his embrace since she had dared to pinch him.
"Hey, what are you doing? Let me go." Liu Ruoxin clearly didn"t expect Yan Tian to suddenly hold her and immediately started struggling.
However, how could Yan Tian let her go so easily? At the side of Liu Ruoxin"s ear he said gently: "My darling Ruoxin, I urge you not fidget around. If by chance you squirm, it wouldn"t be good for me to touch that which I shouldn"t." Yan Tian finished speaking and slowly shifted his hand a bit upwards.
"Ah! Yan Tian, you dare!" After hearing Yan Tian, Liu Ruoxin no longer struggled as expected. What could be done if by chance he truly groped her in the confusion?
Meanwhile, the office door was suddenly pushed open at this moment. Holding a doc.u.ment in hand, Secretary Xiao w.a.n.g said: "Chairman Liu this is the doc.u.ment we"ve just……"
Upon abruptly seeing Liu Ruoxin and Yan Tian surprisingly being intimate together, Secretary Xiao w.a.n.g was dazed for a moment before she reacted and promptly said: "I"ll wait a bit and come again." She finished speaking, and then ran out in great strides.
Having been suddenly walked in by Secretary Xiao w.a.n.g, Liu Ruoxin was stunned on the spot, thinking to herself that she was ruined this time. She had been seen by her own secretary.
Yet as for Yan Tian, he nodded his head in satisfaction: "Mhm, pretty good, Xiao w.a.n.g, you got the hint. This month"s bonus shall be increased."
"Let me go you, release me." Liu Ruoxin immediately regained her wits once she heard Yan Tian, promptly using the point of her high-heels to angrily stomp on his foot ruthlessly.
Witnessing Liu Ruoxin"s anger, Yan Tian didn"t dare continue to hold her. Frightened, he hurriedly released her and ran off, hearing her shouting in the distance: "Yan Tian, you"ve got guts, don"t come back!"
After he ran to the fourth floor, Yan Tian stopped, and observing there was no one in his surroundings, he took his cell phone out in ease. Right now, he should give that London missy a call and ask her about the matter about the blood jade. As for Liu Ruoxin, he would wait a bit on the side until speaking with her later on.
Yan Tian discovered that Diana hadn"t shut off her phone at all this time after he called. Several dial tones later, the phone connected, yet neither side spoke.
Yan Tian knew Diana was still angry at him, so he slowly said in english: "Ehehe, how have things been these past two days?"
"Hmph!" The only sound heard coming from the telephone was a cold snort.
"I"ve actually called you quite a many times, but it’s just that your phone was turned off!"
"Hmph!" As before a cold snort came from the phone and nothing was said.
Hearing Diana continue uttering not a single word, Yan Tian said with a slight headache: "Geez, great mistress, I"m wrong. Why don"t you say something."
"Hmph, I don"t want to acknowledge some people." From the phone, Diana finally said a word.
"Ehehe, you see, is that really why?" Hearing Diana finally say something, Yan Tian said emotionally.
"Oh, then I"ll hang up."
"Hey, hey, hey, don"t hang up, don"t hang up!" With great difficulty he was able to connect to Diana, so how could Yan Tian let her hang up?
"If you got some kind of matter, hurry up." Diana pouted and said."
Thinking it over, Yan Tian didn"t mince words any longer and quickly went into the heart of the question: "Last time you said you found the blood jade; where is it?"
"Right, what about it?" Diana questioned rather innocently. She wouldn"t tell him; she was infuriated with him.
"Uhh…… I have use for it!" Yan Tian rocked his head and said.
"I can tell you, but you have to tell me first why you"ve been so cold towards me as of late." Diana said a bit weepingly.
Yan Tian slapped his head as he heard this. What was he to say? He hesitated for a good moment and sighed softly.
"We are unsuitable to be together." Yan Tian grit his teeth and said.
"Haha, unsuitable? This is your justification? You weren"t like this before."
"Before is before. We were still young in the past. We weren"t sensible." Yan Tian furrowed his brows.
Diana was silent after she heard Yan Tian finish speaking. A good moment later, she said softly: "Did you or did you not talk with my father?"
Yan Tian shook his head, unsure of what to say, having had Diana hit the nail on the head.
"Your silence is agreement. Then I"ll say, so this was why you could be so cold to me. So I"ll ask you, do you love me?"
Once Diana got hold of the true reason, her mood suddenly soared. So it had turned out that her father was scheming in the midst of things. It wasn"t that Yan Tian had intended to give her the cold shoulder by any means.
"It"s not a question of whether I love your or not. We"re truly unsuitable for each other."
"How are we unsuitable? Could it be it"s because I"m a n.o.ble from the English Royal Family?" Diana said with reddened eyes.
Yan Tian spoke no further as he heard her. Wasn"t that how the cookie crumbled? It was because of the tremendous disparity in their" statuses that he had given up. Diana was a n.o.ble of the English Royal Family.
And as for Yan Tian? He was nothing but a common a.s.sa.s.sin. Although it could be said he was the world"s best Grandmaster a.s.sa.s.sin, however, a Grandmaster wasn"t much to consider, placed in front of her family..
"Say something? How come you"re not speaking?" Diana was left with heart-broken tears, seeing Yan Tian wasn"t saying anything.
"I love you, it"s just that I……"
"Are you going to give up just like that? What did you say at that time?" Yan Tian hadn"t even finished speaking until Diana broke off connection with him.
Upon saying this, Yan Tian recalled every speck and detail of the two"s past. At that time, he didn"t know her, and she didn"t know him as well. It was during an a.s.signment that he had met Diana.
On a summer day, in one of the American continent"s great deserts, Yan Tian had accepted a mission to a.s.sa.s.sinate a drug lord. At that time, his body temperature exceeded forty-five degrees celsius*, and the drug lord"s lair was located within an oasis in a stretch of the great desert.
After the pa.s.sage of a long trek lasting a good many days, Yan Tian had long been left without strength at that time and was captured by men at the entrance just as he arrived. It was enough to lose face.
After the gang of men locked Yan Tian up, he discovered he wasn"t the only person locked away. There were also three others. Among them was a westerner named Diana.
