Now, everyone returned to the house. In the front was Jun Kai who was almost striding up the long staircase of the house, along with Xue Li who was half running and half walking to catch up with him."Jun Kai...Jun kai." She had been calling him a couple of time, but it was of no success. No matter how much she tried to catch up with him, he would always be too far away.
Then called out another voice, "Papa!" The owner of the voice seemed rather worried and hurried at the same time.
Only then, did Jun Kai stop. Thinking of the owner of the voice and along with the other person, he finally turned around, but only to find someone else beside him.
Xue Li reached out har fair arms to Jun Kai, "Jun Kai, what are you going to do? Shall we go and check grandmother first?" Her voice expressed her concerns even though she had no relations to grandma Feng.
His sharp eyebrows were slightly furrowed for a split second before it had completely disappeared. Then, his expressions became emotionless. Jun Kai turned to look at Xue Li"s hand on his arm, gradually he replied neither too distant nor too close, "Don"t worry, I can handle it."
However, she was not done just yet, with a slightly softer voice she continued, "If you need any help, you know that our family is nearly tied together; I am always here to help you, no matter what." Xue Li spoke just as a small reminder of their engagement and that she would always have her hands open to help him.
In Jun Kai"s eyes, there were mixed emotions that Xue Li could not comprehend. She had confusion in her heart and could feel the uneasiness creep inside her heart, but Jun Kai"s response was able to settle down her nervous heart, "Thank you, I will keep that in mind."
Hearing a satisfying answer, she finally let go of Jun Kai"s arm. She was not going to push too far, at least, he was still fully aware of what was going to happen to the pair of them. Xue Li watched as Jun Kai walked up the staircase. She thought to herself, despite how rushed and secretive the engagement was, but that was just for now.
However, she was quickly awoken from her thoughts. "Jie, quickly! Papa"s leaving." Qing Qing"s worried voice rang behind Xue Li. She then turned around to face the little girl and was standing just in the way of Qing Qing.
Xue Li slowly leaned closer to the little girl, "Qing Qing ah, I think we should let your father handle some business first okay?" Xue Li spoke in a kind patient voice. If it was others, then they may have been tricked by the facade, but it was different for some. That, someone, had to be the person who was holding onto Qing Qing"s small hands.
Mi Rong watched as Xue Li tried to stop Qing Qing. This girl was very good at putting on masks, but how long would it stay on? What would be the outcome anyway? Mi Rong believed that Jun Kai would not stop Qing Qing from going to see him, so why bother to stop the little girl? Hence, Mi Rong decided to listen and wait for the source of the problem to solve this between Qing Qing and this girl.
.
Qing Qing snapped back and protested righteously with her childish voice, "What do you mean business, aunt Xue Li? Isn"t great grandmother more important?"
Aunt Xue Li? This girl was asking for a teaching! However, Xue Li suppressed her fury inside her heart and continued to speak nicely, "Don"t worry, what I meant by business is that your papa will sort everything out. Now, be good and go get some rest, alright?" Xue Li was still very kind to the young girl.
Nevertheless, it was not rea.s.suring to Qing Qing, "I just rest and I want to go see my papa now!" Qing Qing"s little patience that she had left from everything had happened was all used up. She wanted to see her papa right then.
Seeing signs of crying from the little girl and Jun Kai who acted entirely opposite to her expectations, Mi Rong was about to step in when Jun Kai"s voice finally was heard from the staircase, "Qing Qing, don"t be naughty and listen to Xue Li." Mi Rong was surprised with Jun Kai"s reaction. This...
"But papa!" Qing Qing protested and was almost on the verge of crying. Why was her father being so distant? All she needed was some comfort. Did her father forget about her already?
Hearing Qing Qing not listening to him, Jun Kai turned around, "Listened and be a good girl, okay?"
"No!" Qing Qing shouted firmly. By now, teardrops were running down her cheeks that had turned red. He was slightly displeased with Qing Qing"s disobedience. He looked at the hand that Qing Qing was holding onto. Was she with the other person too much that she had learned to not listen to him? Where was the girl a year ago that still listened to him?
However, sometimes we fail to realise time that changes. The small girl had grown more. In desperate times, the more one should hold onto each other, but we sometimes think of ourselves too much that we forget what we should do. This was happening to the father and daughter, but it is a fall, rather a time to learn.
When Jun Kai was about to reprimand Qing Qing, "Let"s go, Qing Qing." Another person had stopped him just in time. Mi Rong didn"t like seeing the pair arguing and had to put a stop to this before it got messier. He was probably not in his right mind at the moment and Qing Qing needed some comfort. If he couldn"t give it to Qing Qing, then she was not afraid to help out.
"Jie…" Her cute little eyes looked up to the person beside her. There was still some tears running down her cheeks.
"Let"s be patient and wait for your father. He"ll come to comfort you later." Mi Rong slightly placed some emphasis on the word comfort so as to tell the other person what the little girl needed at the moment. She then tugged slightly on Qing Qing"s arm and off they went. Mi Rong did not take any looks at the person on the staircase and ignored him as she led Qing Qing to the elevator.
Jun Kai watched as the pair left. He was slightly left in a dilemma. What Mi Rong had signalled, he had caught on. How stupid of him! Sigh, how could he not think of that? As he was deciding to go to see his daughter or not, a phone call rang.
On the screen wrote a name, MR. FENG
It was his father that had called him. This old man must have found out of grandma Feng"s accident, sigh…
He would have to go see Qing Qing later.

The only person that was left there was Xue Li. She had watched as Jun Kai did nothing to that woman! What happened to Jun Kai who didn"t care for other people except for his family!! That woman dared to walk away from him and he did not even do anything to her. If it was like before, she would have long been kicked out of the house, but this, he had tolerated her since they founded out she was a prime suspect of the accident.
Anger was slowly fuming inside Xue Li. How much weight did that woman have to him? Was it as much as he cared for his family? Her eyes were now murderous, she couldn"t wait to see the end of this nuisance that was in her way. No, you"ll never be able to get him, never in this lifetime.
