Chapter 187: Someone Is Tailing Us
The past two days, Liu Zijian couldn't even see the shadow of his own wife.
Madam Liu wanted to spend time with her daughter in law before they would leave Q City.
Liu Zijian couldn't really say no to her as the older woman would use his guilt to get what she wanted.
Madam Liu would simply say that he's not being filial if he would not allow his wife to go with her.
Since he knew he was in the wrong the previous days, he could only swallow his grievances.
The two were on their way to the airport. And finally, they have serene time together.
"You seemed to enjoy your time much with Mom." Liu Zijian said hinting her that he's been wallowing in envy.
Oblivious with what Liu Zijian wanted to really express, Han Meixiu answered gleefully.
"Yeah. It was exciting."
She said while smiling.
When her husband didn't respond after, she curiously looked at him.
"Jian, are you okay?"
Liu Zijian wasn't really doing anything even though his laptop was open.
"En." He answered without looking.
"You're not. Why?" Han Meixiu noticed the low spirit on his voice.
Liu Zijian sighed and closed the laptop. He really couldn't concentrate this way.
"You seemed to forget you have a husband waiting for your attention, too." He said in a sad voice.
Han Meixiu became speechless. Her eyes opened and closed animatedly, She wanted to actually laugh but contained her emotions as she knew more than anyone else that if she ever did, there would be consequence.
"But you allowed me..."
"I know, it's just..."
How would he explain his sentiments?
Should he say that upon going home she should have quality time with him?
Or should he say that she's not supposed to go home later than him?
Or probably he should say accompany him all the time?
"Never mind." He resignedly said.
"We'll be home in few hours."
"Okay."
Even though she said okay it didn't mean Han Meixiu would let it slide.
Thus when they were seated in their respective seat inside the plane, Han Meixiu initiated the talk.
"Jian..."
"Hmm?" Liu Zijian already gathered up his momentum again to check the development of LCG in K Country.
The selected people were already in K Country and they've been busy setting up a workplace.
"Upon arriving, are you going to go directly to the site?"
Han Meixiu was talking about the chosen location of the LCG's office.
"Yes, why?"
"Can I come with you?"
"But you need to take a rest." He answered glancing quickly at her.
"I want to be with you." She softly said that her words were barely heard.
Liu Zijian who was currently checking the blue print of the building, stopped.
"Really? But you didn't even care about me when you were with Mom?"
'Bingo! He was really sulking.' Han Meixiu thought.
"Of course not. You were our topic most of the time.." She bragged, it was partly true though.
Han Meixiu realized she's getting good with words.
His smile of contentment made Han Meixiu pleased.
"Alright. But if you feel tired, you have to tell me."
"En."

Han Meixiu woke up the next day a little late than usual. She didn't expect that a simple ocular inspection was exhausting.
She actually didn't realize it until they sat on the car and her body rested for an hour while going home.
Although she felt that Liu Zijian tried to wake her up, she begged her husband to let her be.
Probably because she looked really pitiful, he let her sleep longer and left.
When she went to the kitchen she saw a new face.
"Where is Aunt Jing?"
"Hello, Young Mistress. I am Wu Bing Ni. You can call me Aunt Bing Ni or Aunt Ni Ni. Jing is my cousin. She's on leave for the meantime."
"Nice to meet you, Aunt Ni Ni. Did something happen to her?" Han Meixiu didn't know they would have a new house keeper. It was probably mentioned to her yesterday but she wasn't paying attention.
"She's taking care of her daughter. Do you want me to prepare your meal now?"
"Yes. Thank you. Her daughter is sick? I remember she mentioned that her daughter ran away from home."
"You can say that. She's actually in critical condition now. That's the reason why she couldn't work for a while." Aunt Bing answered as she started to prepare a light meal.
Her cousin told her that the young madam would eat light meal after waking up.
"What happened?"
"She also don't know. Maybe her daughter was entangled with something illegal."
"Do you know which hospital she's in?"
"Yes. You would like to go?"
"Yeah. After eating, can you accompany me?"
"Of course, but..." The older woman was a bit hesitant. The young master before leaving told her to let his wife take a rest.
"I will call my husband before going." Han Meixiu quickly said when she saw the older woman's reaction.
"Okay." Aunt Ni Ni replied and coughed a little. She was really that obvious.
After eating, Han Meixiu started to prepare and called Liu Zijian while she was going out of her room.
"Have you rest well?"
That was his first line.
"I did. Thank you. Ah, Jian I want to visit Aunt Jing's daughter. Aunt Ni Ni will accompany me."
Han Meixiu could hear the sighed from another line.
"Okay, be careful." He simply said.
"I will!" Han Meixiu replied and ended the call.
*
It would take approximately two hours to the hospital. Along the way Han Meixiu noticed something weird.
She immediately called Liu Zijian.
"Are you busy?" She asked.
"Not really. Why? Is there a problem?"
"I noticed that someone might be tailing us."
Han Meixiu said in a low voice. She didn't want to startle Aunt Ni Ni as well as their driver.
Normally, she thought it was just a coincidence but the distance of the car was the same ever since they took the main highway.
Although she didn't know how many people Liu Zijian assigned to escort her, that particular car was suspicious.
"Don't worry. That's probably from your mother."
"Huh? You talked to her?"
"No. But Dad mentioned that she will be adding additional protection for you."
"Oh, I see."
"Call me when you arrived in the hospital."
"En." Han Meixiu shortly answered and leaned back.
K Country is her mother's turf. Now that LCG is just starting to form here, they would probably receive assistance from her.
Han Meixiu's lips curved into a playful smile. She didn't know but, she wanted to 'abuse' this kind of treatment.
