OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 274 CAN I TRUST YOU, WEINI?
“Where are we going?” After nearly an hour of sitting on the street in silence, Weini finally asked about Xiao Jun's plan. The man took him around the streets of the capital which was crowded by people who came home from work. Although Xiao Jun said before Grace that he would drive her home, the road they were walking on was moving away from the western part of the city.
“Jun?” Weini called out Xiao Jun's name again, her tone soft because she was reluctant to burden her lover who was thinking a lot.
Xiao Jun gasped, he was caught daydreaming in front of Weini. The man shook his head for a moment then smiled sweetly at the girl beside him. “Sorry, I ..” Xiao Jun fingered his forehead with one hand, he felt a little guilty for not hearing Weini's words just now. Weini's call just now made her realize that they were at home without a word since the journey began.
“It’s okay.” Answer Weini briefly and softly.
“What did you say?” Xiao Jun asked with a guilty look.
Weini shook her head slowly, from the look of her shady eyes trying to calm Xiao Jun who from his face alone could not be covered that he was confused. “Nothing, not important kok.”
Xiao Jun removed one hand from the steering wheel in order to grab Weini's fingers. Efforts got feedback from Weini who tightened his grip before Xiao Jun let go to focus on driving.
“We have dinner yes, I want to stay in a quiet place for a moment.” Xiao Jun's proposal, which they urgently needed now was indeed more appropriate to corner in a place far from trouble for a moment.
Weini nodded in agreement, she could guess where Xiao Jun was going. “Definitely dinner on the jet again.” Weini's voice while laughing.
“You've reached my habit, sorry .. I'm not romantic.” Xiao Jun admitted his weakness timidly, it must be admitted that he lost far to Wen Ting in terms of arranging romantic moments.

After a brief conflict between Xiao Jun and Grace had yet to find a common ground, the aftermath of the matter had now crept onto her bodyguard, Fang Fang. In particular he was called to face Lau without knowing Grace. Since returning home, Grace has locked herself in her room and doesn't care about what her servants do. Now Fang Fang faced judgment from Lau at Xiao Jun's apartment which was only two units apart from the other side.
“What is your justification now? How could Miss Grace miss a casting and not report to me? Not a month ago you were my man, now your loyalty has defected?” Hardik Lau, he was also responsible for the negligence of his chosen people who turned out to be unreliable. Fang Fang Fang's recklessness only complicated Xiao Jun's unstable condition with his personal problems.
Fang Fang immediately kowtowed with his head bowed, his two hands trembling grasping his knees. “Hamba please forgive Mr. Lau, I really don't know that Miss Grace went to audition. The servant did come with him but he said there was a need for a job interview, he did not tell me if it was a search for movie stars. Forgive my life, sir.”
Lau folded his hands, he stood right before Fang Fang who was still kneeling. “Then why did you attack Dina? Do I need to remind you of our vows of devotion and its consequences?” Cecar Lau was firm, he did not intend to oppress his subordinates but before Fang Fang was getting too outrageous then firmness needed to be enforced.

On the other hand, Dina who was engrossed in massage to relax her tired nerves suddenly sneezed loudly. “Achoo ..”
Dina rubbed her nose, feeling fine but why sneeze so frenzied that the masseur who was serving her legs paused for a moment. Did anyone talk to me? Murmured Dina, the sensation was crumpled but only for a moment. He returned to the bodo period if anyone gossiped himself who was indulging.
Is it just a doang artist who can be treated? I can too! Let quickly get a bustle, do not shout just me doang who does not have a prospective companion. You cruel author! Chirps Dina. This time replace the author who sneezed dysentile by Dina.

Fang Fang Fang's head was getting bowed, his hair being draped to cover his entire face. He also deeply regrets his excessive actions to the point of hurting innocent people. “I'm sorry sir, I'm sorry. Please give me another chance, I promise it won't happen again.”
“Wake! Don't let him suspect you, hurry back there.” Lau's orders agreed to grant Fang Fang Fang a pardon and opportunity.
The bodyguard girl prostrated herself three times before waking up, paying homage to Lau's forgiving compassion. “Thank you Mr. Lau, thank you young master Xiao Jun wan sui wan sui (long life).”

“Do you drink strongly? I can't possibly take you home drunk, dad can beat me.” Xiao Jun anxiously looked at Weini without awkwardly gulping down his second glass of wine. As far as the man is concerned, Weini has not
experienced sipping alcohol, can be serious if he brings girls people home with weak awareness due to the effects of alcoholic beverages.
Weini gave a small laugh while shaking her head, he again sipped the drink from the glass that did not escape from his hand. Their dinner was going well, but the girl suddenly asked her lover to prepare Wine as a chat. Xiao Jun helplessly refused, he also felt the need for intake to vent for a moment his anger from real problems.
“Dad never got angry, since he never got angry. I'm an adult, it's time to try new things, he must understand kok.” Kilah Weini, it seems that her consciousness is still quite okay even though her face is turning red.
Xiao Jun smiled, Weini's reaction was so cute in his eyes. He raised a glass to make the girl toast. Weini responded quickly by attaching her glass to create the sound of the glasses clashing against each other.
“Toas!” They are compact.
After the third glass was successfully gulped down by Weini, he stopped pouring the drink into his glass. It was not that he had given up, but it was time to pause for a moment of pseudo-pleasure and he needed to talk heart-to-heart with Xiao Jun.
“Jun, what will we do next? Dodging is just like delaying a time bomb, sooner or later it must have exploded.” Weini said softly, he did not blink to look at Xiao Jun's face which changed drastically when he had this problem.
Xiao Jun needed to gulp another glass in order to respond to the girl who was waiting for him. “I ask you to trust me, let me take care of it without involving you too far.”
“But this is about us, this is our problem. We've agreed to face it together, I'll help you convince the girl to stop hurting her.” Weini slightly refuted, she most disliked just silence to let her loved ones bear the burden themselves, let alone this involving Weini anyway.
Xiao Jun shook his head, “Don't! I can't let you get involved with him. He's complicated, his family's complicated. Making sure he's away from your life is my responsibility, I don't know what he'll do to you if you keep close together.”
Weini's face shrunk, Grace's threat still lingering in her mind as well as Xiao Jun's serious-sounding and deeply worried reply further convinced Weini that Xiao Jun was faced with
weight choice.
“Jun, actually what bad thing would happen if he reported to your father? I understand what he's talking about, and I'm not stopping to think about what happens to you again if we get caught still in touch.” Weini
pleading for a trust and openness from Xiao Jun.
The man was still unmoved, doubting himself between having to be forthright, unmasking the truth that he was afraid of his mother's safety at stake. Can he trust Weini completely? Letting the girl know that she was not as great a man as she thought, that she was nothing more than a surrogate child than a banished daughter.
