OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 292 PRESENCE THAT IS NOT CONSIDERED
“Welcome Miss Li An.” Hari looked down respectfully as Li An followed Xiao Jun's footsteps into his study. At first he wanted to invite Li An to stop and rest in the apartment, but the girl refused on the grounds that she did not want to be left alone. Li An wanted to stay longer with her sister, while looking for the right opportunity to talk seriously with her.
“Halo uncle Lau, long time no see.” Li An greeted Lau, who managed to make the old man smile awkwardly. Their feelings had only been a month without meeting, but Li An's behavior had been like a year without meeting.
Lau left his two masters to prepare a drink. Xiao Jun checked the important files he had to sign, thinking seriously that it looked interesting to Li An. He admired that his younger brother had a perfect face and seemed masculine. When compared to her husband – Wen Ting, their good looks had a different judgment. Wen Ting was softer and shady-faced, but sometimes Li An looked firmly at her husband as well.
“If brother is hungry, tell ya.” Xiao Jun said, he remained busy with the pile of papers on his desk.
Li An smiled, “Casual Jun, you focus on work only. I ate at my dad's house.”
Xiao Jun stopped flipping through the paper, he was fixated on Li An's words just now. The man looked up looking deeper at his brother. Li An instead looked calm and smiled sweetly, as if to tempt Xiao Jun to
more curious.
“He confessed that he's our father?” Xiao Jun asked firmly. He got up from his director's chair and walked over to Li An who was sitting on the sofa.
When Xiao Jun was already sitting beside Li An, the girl nodded steadily. Xiao Jun immediately clenched his hands and bowed while grinding his teeth. “Why did he confess to you? I've known him for a long time, I asked him first but he kept dodging me. Am I no longer considered a child?”
Li An docked closer and held onto Xiao Jun's arm, his sister was completely carried away by emotion. It's not wrong if Haris is so cool to keep this a secret from him. Parents know their children better than children know their parents.
“Jun, relax first. He has a reason, if you can calm down I must be the story.” Li An said he would not continue the story if Xiao Jun faced him with emotion.
Xiao Jun had no choice, he took a heavy breath and exhaled. That way is a little powerful neutralize feelings that are not good. He looked at Li An, pleading with her through the shade of his eyes. “Sorry, brother.”
Li An nodded and smiled, he rubbed Xiao Jun's shoulder a few times before continuing to speak. “He was evasive too, but when I first saw him, I was sure he was our father. I convinced him to confess, he finally wanted.”
Xiao Jun did not comment, there was an inevitable sense of excitement and annoyance. He hid his face in a low position. “What's the reason for him?” Xiao Jun asked softly.
“You are too emotional, he has seen the consequences if you know now.” Li An replied slowly.
Xiao Jun looked up, he had to admit that his stubborn weakness might no longer be able to wait any longer, when it came to his parents' matters. He once thought he would rebel and leave Li San if he managed to get his mother out of their clutches.
“Jun, dad's decision can still change. Tomorrow I will go back there, he promised me to consider it. This will be the secret of the three of us, provided you are willing to be more patient and trust in
plan.”
Xiao Jun stared doubtfully at Li An, but the look in his brother's eyes was so convincing. Should he believe that the opportunity is still there for him?

Fang Fang knocked on the room door while calling Grace to dinner. Grace mendelik, could-can servants quickly prepare food when only a few minutes they reached home. In spite of
not so hungry, Grace complied and got up.
Fang Fang cooked ramen whose fragrance was tempting to taste. Grace chuckled, her expectations too high imagining her servant preparing a more complicated menu. “Sorry non, ramen only yes make dinner.”
Grace nodded, “Ng, fortunately my body is good, eating a lot is not fat. Otherwise, how dare I eat noodles night-night when tomorrow will shoot.”
The two girls laughed together, the more their closeness became more like a sister than the relationship between employer and servant.
“Oya miss, reportedly big brother master Xiao Jun, miss Li An came today. Now he's in the apartment alone. Mister Xiao Jun and bodyguard Lau returned to the office again due to important matters.” Fang Fang stopped sipping noodles just for the sake of delivering the news.
Grace's face was sparkling, it was really great news. “I have to visit him now. You ate it yourself yes.” Grace stood up excitedly and then sat back down with a confused face.
“Do we have any stock of food or Wine? I'm not comfortable leaving empty-handed.” Ask Grace.
Fang Fang smiled, “I'll prepare that, but miss eat first. It's not good to throw food away, redundant. He is also not going anywhere, miss can be as happy as chatting later.”
Grace said she grabbed a bowl of ramen that was still boiling the steam and devoured it.

Li An heard the sound of a bell as he relaxed in his room. At first he thought Xiao Jun and Lau had gone home, but he thought again that the owner of the house could not ring the bell just to get into his own house. The girl hurried to get up and tidied up, she wondered who the guests were who came at nine o'clock in the evening. Li An monitored from the camera and frowned as soon as he knew who was standing behind the entrance.
“Sister, do you need friends? I brought drinks and snacks.” Grace excitedly greeted as soon as Li An opened the door. He showed off a bottle of wine and a plastic bag filled with snacks.
Li An smiled forcefully welcoming her, she opened the door wide and let Grace in. For a moment she forgot that Grace was also staying here. For some reason, every look at the girl's face was always tense
urat annoyed Li An.
“Jun hasn't come home yet, he's still in the office.” Said Li An weakly, he indeed half-heartedly accepted Grace's arrival.
Getting such a reception made Grace turn around, her originally gloomy face suddenly turned grim. “I came here for you, not Xiao Jun. Are you not happy with my arrival?”
The two girls faced each other, looking at each other with eyes that were difficult to explain. One is too hopeful of getting a confession, while the other is trying to shake off the uncomfortable feeling that arises because of the memory of someone in the past who gave him trauma. Grace's radiant eyes reminded Li An of the figure who once fooled her, Chen Kho.
