OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 108 THE INJURIOUS CARELESSNESS
Chen Kho's car had already stopped in front of Li An's house, along the way they preferred silence. Li An was still grimacing withstanding the pain due to the chafing lower lip. Although sad, he did not dare to protest over the treatment
It was Chen Kho who began to get carried away by emotions and not the love he felt anymore. Li An continued to think whether his arrival to the office was so unexpected?
“I'm sorry..” Li An said the words he shouldn't, the more appropriate one to apologize is Chen Kho. He again relented just to please the man.
“Already. Rush in!” chen Kho said, he took off his seatbelt and got off first.
“You want to come in? Isn't it still working hours?” Li An is not happy if Chen Kho he confiscated too long.
Chen Kho walked towards the door and waited for Li An to open it. “So I can't go in?”
Li An immediately pulled out the key and opened the door, lest he get a second sentence again. The house that is more worthy of being called a hut is more worrisome than before. Part time work engaged
Li An is only enough to connect lives, can not be set aside for the renovation of the building.
On top of the rattan reot chair, Chen Kho sat cross-legged. Let him Li An who was busy preparing tea in the back. He needs to consider steadily so that there is no regret to break the relationship
with a girl who was already useless, unless there was still something to be taken advantage of from her.
A black rat ran across under Chen Kho's feet, reflexively lifting both his legs up onto the chair. Between the tingling and disgust, Chen Kho looked at where the rat had disappeared behind the bamboo wall of the dark room
next to Li An's room. Chen Kho scrunched his eyes, he sharpened his feeling and focused on that space. A sensation of occult vibration was detected by Chen Kho's sensitivity. He hurriedly infiltrated the room, after peeking at Li An who was still busy boiling water from the top of the wooden stove.
One step into the narrow, dark and stuffy room Chen Kho immediately closed his nose. The coldness of the powerful magic energy clashed with the hot element of his magical aura. Chen Kho had not dared to continue his steps, the unexpected strength of the enemy might just be able to get him trapped.
He ventured forward a step though vigilantly, suddenly the narrow and dark space shook. Chen Kho held on to the corner of the table so as not to sway along with the shock.
“Heh? What is this place?” after an earthquake-like shock, the originally dark room turned bright and spacious. A chair and table of teak wood arranged as if specifically for someone to occupy. Fragrances like
the incense was so densely smelled, Chen Kho closed his life because he was afraid of being stupefied by a fragrance that was not clear of its origin.
“White magic.” Chen Kho managed to identify the flow of magic that controlled the beach. During his close proximity to Li An, he had entered this house several times but had not known there was an amazing secret room. Li An had never told her about her family, her clan's flagship magic as well as information about her father. Chen Kho started to change his mind, he should not throw away the girl now.
“Gosh, I thought you were gone apparently hide here.” Li An appeared carrying a tray containing a glass of tea and small setoples of snacks.
As soon as Li An entered and made a sound, the large and bright room returned to its original form. Chen Kho was dizzy with the drastic changes. “This what space?” asked Chen Kho regardless of Li An's question
preceding.
The girl smiled, “Ah. Dad used to spend a lot of time here, he said the power of our ancestors is centered in this space.”
Chen Kho frowned, he was confused but began to be interested in digging further but the direction of their conversation was still warm about this. “Ancestral strength? You mean ghost?” Chen Kho pretended to be innocent to Li An
angled told more as he expected.
officially appointed father as heir to science. Father went to leave us..” Li An stopped, continuing the story felt very painful like scraping old wounds.
“Leaving you? Why?” Chen Kho hugged Li An from behind as if to calm him down.
Li An felt that Chen Kho was starting to notice her, that hug from behind felt so thrilling to his heart. He thought that Chen Kho was beginning to be concerned about his bitter experience and forgot his previous annoyance. Their relationship would definitely warm up again if Li An were more open.
“It... because miss Yue Hwa. Dad took her away somewhere to protect the Li family's youngest child's life.” Li An bowed miserably, when her father left she was still an innocent little girl. In an instant lost affection and separated from father and mother, sent to the border area is all-starved and struggling to live to adulthood with his eldest brother. The sadness was instantly broken when he realized he was vilifying his lover's family.
“Ah sorry... sorry I didn't mean to vilify your cousin.” Li An was riled up, if he made Chen Kho angry again maybe their relationship would end up here.
Chen Kho twisted Li An's body to face each other, the distance between them blocked the tray that the girl was still holding. The tray was then placed on the floor. A moment later Li An had already
pulled in his arms.
“Not to be afraid, I won't be angry. You know I'm different from them, even though we're brothers, but I'm not cruel to them. You must have experienced many bad things in the past, just tell me I will not leave you!”
Li An nodded in Chen Kho's arms, his hands already coiled around the man's waist. For a moment he felt comfort from the embrace and continued to vent, “I and my brother until now sure that father
still life. A magic heir of the Wei clan couldn't possibly die that easily. What we love so much, why didn't you come back to help us? He instead chose to protect Li.”'s daughter
“So your father is alive? Then where is he now?” chen Kho asked.
“So please, we are insensitive to magic. It won't be easy to find his hiding place if he doesn't have a magic base.” Li An was pessimistic, he sighed so deeply.
“The magic of the Wei clan is already hereditary, there must be a successor who inherited the talent from birth. If you can't, is it possible that your brother can?” Chen Kho lured Li An to divulge more and more of what he knew.
Li An shook his head, “Daughters cannot be heirs. If my sister's talented, maybe she's the more sensitive. But what good is he? After my father left, he became the son of the Li family. Now he even lives and feels at home abroad.” Chirps Li An, so miss her youngest sister who she last saw when she was 7 years old. Now that I don't know what his face looks like, Li An is eager to meet.
“Oh... Li Xiao Jun who inherited the Wei clan science?” ask Chen Kho quickly.
“It should be. He is only a successor formality but without a father who teaches him directly, it feels difficult if he can master all magic.”
So like that. I underestimated Xiao Jun too much. Maybe the business in Jakarta was just the reason that he cornered, maybe that's where Wei's hideout was and he passed on to Xiao Jun. Chen Kho gritted his teeth, he took off a hug and looked at Li An gently.
“Darling, I have to go back to the office again. There are important meetings that cannot be represented.”
Li An let go of Chen Kho with an anxious look, but the long time togetherness with his lover was very comforting.
Once in the car, Chen Kho immediately contacted his right hand. “Search intel to keep an eye on Xiao Jun from now on!”
