Chapter 201: Come Quickly
'A camera on the tree?'
Han Meixiu saw a small red light blinking. If one would not properly look and only scanned the area that little lights wouldn't be really visible.
She removed herself from Liu Zijian's arms and walked towards the tree.
"I see. She only wanted to watch from a comfortable place" Han Meixiu grudgingly said.
She moved her foot around to check if there would be something on the ground.
She was right. There was a small box below almost covered with dried twigs.
She took the box and opened it. She saw a small phone inside. The moment she picked it up, it started to vibrate.
There's an incoming call.
Han Meixiu ignored it. She looked at the camera and smirked while she put the phone back to the box> She then placed it back on the ground.
She didn't know where got the courage but she really felt deceived.
What? Her mother planned to talk to her over the phone? She's in a warm comfortable place and her? Standing in the middle of memorial park battling with winter wind?
She didn't even have enough sleep! And she has work later. She just established her position in her team and the last thing she wanted was to become everyone's burden.
She's sure she would feel sleepy later and she couldn't even ask the assistance of caffeine to help her stay productive. Her husband has been forbidden her to take any form of caffeine.
Her anger was getting more and more out of control the more she realized how much she sacrificed for this meeting.
Liu Zijian who was silently observing her actions felt puzzled.
His little wife was clearly annoyed.
"Why did't you answer it?"
"What for? Does she really think I want to talk to her while standing in this cold place?"
"Maybe she will give you instructions..."
"Why not say it directly? Why does she have to make it complicated! It's a waste of time!"
Liu Zijian wanted to actually laugh looking at her angry expression. He could actually visualized steam coming out of her head.
But if he would smile, her anger might really be redirected to him.
"Wait in the car." He said and picked up the box on the ground. The phone was still vibrating.
He answered the call.
"Hello.."
"She has a temper, huh. Tell her to take my call." The woman on the other line didn't let him finish speaking. Like his wife, she was also staring to have a temper.
"She's not feeling well. I apologize for that."
"Oh, so you think you can speak on her behalf?"
"I am her husband."
"I still don't approve you."
"Is there a way I can get the honor to be approved by my wife's mother?"
"Of course... There is always a way."
Han Meixiu who walked a few steps turned around and saw her husband talking. Although she couldn't really see clearly as only the lamp post not so far away was the source of light, she felt a bit uncomfortable.
The moment she wanted to walk back, Liu Zijian looked at her and smiled faintly.
He then shortened their distance and gave her the phone.
Han Meixiu pouted but still accepted it.
"Get on the car near the entrance. I'll let you return before the sun rises."
Han Meixiu looked at Liu Zijian first and when she saw him nod, she answered.
"Okay."
*
"I'll see you later." Liu Zijian said and kissed her on the forehead. Their car just stopped near the entrance and it was about time for her to get off.
Han Meixiu didn't respond. She didn't like it.
Although she want to talk to her mother, she didn't want to do it alone.
It was different from her father. She was in a comfortable environment.
But now, she didn't have any idea where she's going. Plus, she's worried about Liu Zijian.
She held her husband's hand tighter.
"You're not coming with me?" She asked in a soft voice.
"I would love to but you must meet her alone."
Han Meixiu knew it. It was just, she couldn't let his hand go.
"Jian..."
"Don't worry. She's your mom. She wouldn't hurt you."
"I know that. But what about you?"
"Of course I'll be fine." He answered calmly wearing a soft smile like he always did giving her assurance and comfort.
That's right. He's Liu Zijian. He'll be fine.
The moment she stepped out of their car, she immediately saw a man bowed in front of her.
Han Meixiu continued to walk without looking back. She might changed her mind if she would look at him again.
When she sat down, the man in the passenger seat gave her a medium sized pouch.
"Miss, please wear what's inside."
Han Meixiu opened the pouch and took out three sets of clothes.
A mask, a veil and a cloak? All were black.
"Please be sure that no part of your clothes would be visible once you get off later.
Han Meixiu nodded.
"Shouldn't I cover my eyes?" She asked.
"There's an eye gel inside the black box."
Han Meixiu looked around and found the only box visible to her. She opened and saw two pieces of eye gel with black and yellow stripe.
She carefully placed them on her eyes after leaning backwards.
It felt comfortable.
Although her eyes were closed, her other senses were heightened.
The road they took was smooth and because it was early, the car didn't encounter any traffic congestion.
She tried to count the number they turned. 7.
She knitted her eyebrows. Along the way from their house, Han Meixiu knew they only turned twice.
The road that these people took this time might be in the opposite direction.
"We're here. You can remove the eye gel and please fully cover yourself."
Han Meixiu carefully placed back the eye gel and wore what she needed to.
After getting off, she checked herself to confirm that she's indeed like a black magician or bringer of death.
"Please go in the elevator."
The man said and pointed her the direction.
Han Meixiu walked towards it and before she could reach the elevator, she heard the car's engine.
When she turned around, the car started to leave.
Her mouth opened and closed as she normally wanted to curse. But decided to just inhaled deeply and continued to walk.
When elevator opened, she saw a man inside that slowly bowed at her.
"The leader is waiting."
*
In a well lighted room with a deep oriental style, a woman dressed in black was leaning against the wall. Her head was slightly inclined and she was holding a cup of warm tea.
There was a medium sized table nearby with foods and drinks.
She looked like she was in deep thought but she was actually more alert than ever.
Calculating the time she turned her head and a soft smile escaped on her lips that was painted with a maroon tint.
"Arrived." A man's voice could be heard from outside.
"Come in." She answered but didn't move her body.
Han Meixiu was the only one allowed to go inside.
When the door behind her closed she saw a slender woman standing not too far from her. She could only see her back.
"Mom." Her voice was soft. In fact it was too soft that the other person could barely hear.
For some reason she couldn't repeat the word with a louder voice.
