Young Master Liem
Chapter 14 Siaw Cing Research

Wan Siang never thought that the girl he once thought was just a talisman could make it look like she had a new toy that was very interesting. The Sweetie did not know the psychological problems of Wan Siang, but he did feel that the man had a strange character, far from the customs of normal men.

The Sweetie did not know what Wan Siang might do to him. What is clear is that he feels he must have strong self-defense, at least prepare his own mentality. Or if he starts to get distracted, he should be able to express his feelings. Ants will bite if stepped on, as a form of protest over the treatment of humans against themselves.

That's why the Sweet One became more courageous to Wan Siang, not afraid to speak his heart anymore. Beyond a doubt, Wan Siang got to know the girl better.

That day it seems that the Sweet One will be free from the interference of Wan Siang, because Sun Kwan and Siaw Cing come to visit. They had heard about the forced closure of gambling houses by their father, and Mr. Liem told them to visit Wan Siang, wanting to know how his eldest son was doing.

Mr. Liem heard a report from Lie Kuan Tay that he had a fight with Wan Siang so that made the young man hurt. Of course it was beyond expectations of Mr. Liem, he had thought Wan Siang would obey his teacher. But instead of complying, Wan Siang fought Lie Kuan Tay.

As soon as it came, with a worried face, Siaw Cing immediately asked her brother's state.

“How is Koh Wan Day?”

“It is better, because there is the Sweet One who takes care of me,” said Wan Siang.

“Sorry, so trouble you, Sweet,” Siaw Cing said to the Sweet One who was sitting next to Wan Siang.

“Then what is Koh Wan Siang's next plan? The gambling house is closed, is Engkoh ready to lead the company Papa?” ask Sun Kwan.

“Who wants to lead Papa company? I don't want to. Especially after I get beat up like this. I want to walk alone.”

“What's your business after this?”

“Not yet, let me think about it later.”

“Many people depend on Engkoh, the servants in this house, also the Sweet One. If Koh Wan Siang does not rise soon, how will their lives be? Especially the Sweet One.”

“You think I can't take care of them?” Wan Siang was somewhat emotional hearing Sun Kwan's question.

“If you keep this up, I'm so worried about Koh,” said Sun Kwan.

Wan Siang knew the direction of Sun Kwan's question. Her stepbrother was actually very worried about the fate of the Sweet Manis if Wan Siang could not take care of him. Sun Kwan's mouth wanted to say that he wanted to take care of the girl in case her brother couldn't, but his tongue was twisted.

Hearing his name was mentioned by Sun Kwan, the Sweet One so unpleasant.

“Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself,” the girl said.

Sun Kwan's words immediately became a veiled threat to Wan Siang.

“Si Sweet handed over her own father to me, until whenever he will be my responsibility, according to my promise to his father first. A true man does not break his own promises. So don't worry about the fate of the Sweet One, as long as I live. I will take care of it and protect it,” Wan Siang said solemnly, especially aimed at Sun Kwan.

“Already.... already... why so serious like this? Koh Wan Siang may still be emotional, so let him rest first while setting the next step,” said Siaw Cing trying to cool the atmosphere.

Fortunately there was Siaw Cing so that the fighting could be stopped. But hearing Wan Siang's statement just made the Sweet think, will he live on Wan Siang's side forever? The young man had just said he was determined to take care of and protect Sweet as long as the man lived.

Siaw Cing himself felt astonished to Wan Siang who was now. In the past his eldest brother never cared for women, even his own fiance never thought of him. He remembered how Miss Sie, Wan Siang's old fiancee, often came to the house to find her brother, but Wan Siang was rarely at home.

Siaw Cing thought Wan Siang was rarely at home for visiting Miss Sie, apparently not. Wan Siang becomes like a fugitive who must be chased by Miss Sie if the girl wants to see him. No wonder if one day Miss Sie is related to other men, it may need entertainment because it is often disappointed.

“Koh, I want to stay here tonight,” said Siaw Cing.

“Terupon you,” replied Wan Siang.

“I don't dare sleep alone, so may I sleep in the room Sweet?”

“Bby Non, I am even happy,” said The Sweet, he is really happy.

That night Siaw Cing did sleep one bed with the Sweet One. Wan Siang's sister was not without a certain intention of wanting to sleep with the Sweet One. Siaw Cing has a mission of his own. He was very curious what had happened between the Javanese girl and her brother.

But women are good at keeping their hearts. Sweet didn't know that Siaw Cing was going to investigate. Moreover, the Sweet is an innocent girl, so she will be honest and not suspect Siaw Cing's intentions.

“Sweet, actually what has Koh Wan Siang done to you?” Siaw Cing's question was like lightning during the day, the Sweet One was surprised by the question, so he could not hide the sudden appearance of his face so worried.

“Not to be afraid, trust me, your secret will be safe.”

“T...but..do not tell anyone yes Non, Non also do not be surprised.”.

“No, I already know my sister. Sometimes he does make a surprise, but I'm used to dealing with it.”

Sweet began to gather his strength and courage to tell Siaw Cing. Besides, it feels relieved if he can tell what he has experienced.

Then smoothly Si Manis recounted various events, from the beginning when Wan Siang was drunk and asleep on his thigh, to the incident the previous day when Wan Siang apologized after pranking him in the bathroom. Although Siaw Cing said he would not be surprised, he still could not hide his surprise.

“Koh Wan Siang did not seem to know how to get along with women,” said Siaw Cing.

“So yes?”

“There were many girls who wanted to play with him, Koh Wan Siang was handsome from small, many who wanted to be close. But he often said, do not want to play with the girls. Maybe they get sad, keep crying.”

“Means from the first he was fierce huh Non?”

“Not really, Koh Wan that afternoon if the same people he loved could be very sweet. But besides being sweet, also likes to be nosy. I have been constantly harassed by him from the past. Hair pulled, food hidden, or my toys placed high. Sometimes he just wanted to stop if I was crying because of his drive.”

“But he loves the same Non right?”

“She loves me so much, maybe that form of affection is unnatural, the more affection the more want to disturb. If he is not dear, he just ignore the person, including his own fiancee.”

“Master already has a fiancee?”

“Then, she was engaged and almost married. Then the engagement is off, ahh..he also actually does not like and does not care about his fiancee, just want to obey the wishes of Mama only.”

“Master likes nosy to me, does that mean he loves me? But it's weird..”.

“Hahahaha. I've been free of his mess since he moved here. Now that you are judged, you cannot go anywhere and must accept fate. Poor you Sweet.”

Siaw Cing showed his sympathy, but also felt amused.

“But he is nosy like that yes..kan I am so embarrassed, he asked for a massage, or he kissed, ..aihh,” Sweet so embarrassed himself considering all the psyches of Wan Siang, he said, especially after being told Siaw Cing what it means if Wan Siang is nosy.

Kala Siaw Cing and Si Manis were talking about Wan Siang in a concubine voice maybe so that the one being talked about was not heard, Wan Siang was agitated in his bed.

Because his sister stayed over, he could not sleep with the company of the Sweet One. There seems to be less to make it unable to sleep easily. In addition he kept on recalling Sun Kwan's words, which sounded like a warning to him.

Wan Siang was forced to think about his own fate, because his life steps will affect the life of the Sweet. He did not want to make the girl suffer and fate unclear if he did not immediately determine the direction of life. He must immediately start a new business, as Uncle A Seng once said.

The new effort was certainly not thought of in Wan Siang's mind, but because he did not know that, he was determined to look for clues. He planned to go to the temple, as usual Chinese people who went to the place to find answers to questions in their lives.

Sun Kwan also want to not want to stay at Wan Siang's house, he slept in another room alone. In his solitude he was pensive, while imagining the face of the Sweet One circulating in his mind. The girl looked even more beautiful and dazzling, but somehow it was getting harder to reach.

He hoped that Wan Siang was still like before, thinking only of himself. Because of his good looks and wealth, Wan Siang always got the privilege, which is being chased by women. Then Wan Siang could arbitrarily ignore or reject them. If Wan Siang was still like that, it would certainly be easier for Sun Kwan to get the Sweet One.

But Wan Siang now seems to want to master the Sweet, and if his brother already wants something, then he will do anything to get it. Sun Kwan usually never fight over something, because often he will get objects belonging to Wan Siang if his stepbrother was tired of it.

Whenever Mr. Liem wanted to buy Sun Kwan new clothes, his wife always forbade him and wanted the boy to wear the old Wan Siang clothes. And also for toys. Sun Kwan was deeply saddened to think of his destiny to always accept whatever was already trash for Wan Siang. But that night for the first time he wished for Wan Siang to become bored with the Sweet, so that the girl could fall into his hands. Because as long as Wan Siang wanted the Sweet One, the girl would never belong to him.

There was another one that Sun Kwan envied: Wan Siang was taken care of by the girl. As a child who lost his biological mother, and had a stepmother who did not want to take care of him, Sun Kwan was actually also hungry for affection. He imagined that Sweetie would take care of him...
