"You are finally here, my Queen!" Li Xiaolu heard the man"s clear and crisp voice. She watched as the man got up and turned around. She was a little curious about how the man looked and wondered if she knew him but her curiosity was instantly shattered when she saw that half of his face was covered with a silver mask.
As soon as the man turned around all the bodyguards including Layla respectfully saluted him, "Boss!"
The man ignored everybody as he made his way towards her. Li Xiaolu carefully observed him and tried to understand what he was trying to do. She wanted to know who he was and what was his reason for bringing her here.
As he came near her, he simply stood in front of her. "You are finally here, my queen!" he whispered again. He looked at her as if he was in a daze and he couldn"t believe that she was standing in front of him.
Just as he raised his hand to touch her, Gao Yifeng stepped forward and stood in front of her. He glanced at this man who was trying to touch his sister. By standing in front of his sister, Gao Yifeng made his stance clear. He was not going to let this stranger touch his precious sister.
Long Xun chuckled. He liked that this boy in front of him was protective of Li Xiaolu. This was how a brother should act. He nodded his head and quickly apologized, "I am sorry for my unpleasant behavior. I just can"t believe that you are here right in front of me, my queen."
"I am not your queen. Stop calling me that." Li Xiaolu started clearly. She felt a weird feeling when he called her his queen. She didn"t want to be called that. It disgusted her. Looking at the man it was clear why she was brought here. This man liked her and that was very dangerous for her. She only wished to somehow get out of here and away from this man as soon as possible.
Long Xun was not offended by Li Xiaolu"s words. He knew that her reaction would be somewhat like this. Instead of getting hurt by her words, he was excited. She was finally in front of him. She was finally in his home, in his palace. This was all he ever wished for and know it came true.
"Then what should I call you?" Long Xun wondered loudly, "My Xiaolu... perhaps!"
"How about Mrs. Zhang?" Li Xiaolu asked.
Long Xun: "..."
Layla: "..."
The bodyguards: "....."
Every person inside the hall was stunned. Their body s.h.i.+vered in fear and they were worried about their Boss"s reaction. Mentioning Zhang Zhehan or anything related to him was a taboo in the Long Mansion. n.o.body was allowed to sat anything related to him.
They feared that their Boss would get mad and do something bad to their queen. They were nervous and scared. They peeked at their Boss waiting for him to snap but Long Xun didn"t get angry or mad like they thought he would.
HInstead, they saw him smiling at Li Xiaolu. Long Xun couldn"t help but smile. He was in a very good mood. How could he get angry at her?
"Mrs. Zhang...." Long Xun chuckled, "As far as I know that man"s mother is known as Mrs. Zhang. As for you, very soon you are going to hate being related to that person."
Li Xiaolu: "?"

From the way that this person spoke about her husband, Li Xiaolu could detect that he hated Zhang Zhehan. But before she could ask him anything the man said, "Why are you all standing here? Xiaolu, please come inside."
Li Xiaolu and Gao Yifeng glanced at each other and they walked behind the man. He led them towards the sofa and motioned for them to take a seat. Li Xiaolu and Gao Yifeng took a seat. Meng Xuimin was behind them so just as she was about to take a seat, a voice interrupted her.
"WHO TOLD YOU TO TAKE A SEAT?"
Meng Xuimin was so scared by the man"s voice that she jumped up in fear. Her whole body was shaking and she looked at the man in fear. She wanted to be close to Li Xiaolu but he feels didn"t move. It was as if the man"s eyes held her at that spot. She couldn"t move and she was terrified by his murderous gaze.
"Do you think you are worthy enough to sit in my house?" Long Xun sneered. "Do you know what I hate the most? I hate people who betray their own friends. I hate people who take advantage of their own friends."
"But do you know what I like the most? I like killing such people." Long Xun laughed. "You love singing right? How about I snap that neck of yours?"
Meng Xuimin was so scared that her tears began to fall. She looked at Li Xiaolu asking for help. She didn"t want to die. She wanted to live. She knew that what she did to Li Xiaolu was wrong and she hated herself for that.
"She"s my friend." Li Xiaolu said suddenly.
Long Xun was not surprised. He glanced at Li Xiaolu and laughed, "My queen, you have such a beautiful heart. Somehow I wonder how can you forgive her? She was your best friend and yet she betrayed you."
"Looks like you have personally experienced it." Li Xiaolu commented.
Long Xun was stunned. He didn"t expect for Li Xiaolu to say this. Nodding his head he smirked, "Of course I did."
"Do you want to know who this best friend of mine was?" he asked excitedly.
"No!" Li Xiaolu shook his head.
"But I"ll tell you anyway, " Long Xun smiled. "You know this person very well and his name is Zhang Zhehan."
Li Xiaolu: "....."
