Chương 7: 7
Jianhong's breath was fanning gently over my forehead as a few tendrils of my hair moved. The water droplets on his body glistened with the dim light. He stood strong with an intense gaze while I stood like a weak feather; quivering. We both resembled to the lion and the deer.
I tried to move aside but he pulled me closer raising an eyebrow. He had an audacity to challenge my strength. I used all my strength to push him away from me by placing my fists on his rock hard chest. The more I pushed the more I bounced back to him. After struggling for a long time he finally gave up and loosened the grip on me.
I took few steps away from him flaring my nostrils and pointing my fingers at him. His painting on the wall was enormous but the person standing in front of me was stronger. I doubt which one is more scary looking; the person in front of me or his painting with the tiger.
"Don't you dare to touch me again." I shouted. My legs still trembling with fear while he casually tied the robe tighter around his waist.
"If I were you, I would keep my voice down." He smirked. "Especially after entering the mansion through the vegetable supplies."
I opened my mouth wide. How did he know? Did he also enter in the same way? Actually wait, he is The Boss here. Realization hit me hard and I tried to question him again just for the sake of my sanity. "Are you really the Boss here?"
"A single touch from me made you say that? Not bad!" He joked and I fumed.
"I mean to say, The Boss of Li Empire." I clarified.
He turned his back to my face and picked up the wine glass in his hand and served himself from the bottle. "I would have shared the drink with you but there are two things important here. Firstly, I do not share anything which belongs to me. And secondly," he paused and faced me again while leaning his lower half body on the wall. "Miss Shi Min doesn't drink."
He twirled the glass and slowly sipped the wine from his perfectly shaped lips. His eyes not leaving from my presence. Even if I moved an inch aside his eyes would move with me. Is he an automated robot?
"Even if I drink Jianhong, I would never accept it from you." I said as anger started bubbling inside me slow and steadily.
"Jianhong? It's been very long time since anyone called me by my first name. After all, I am the Boss here."
How dare? He get to enjoy little things by destroying others world.
"You must be feeling so high right now. After killing my family, destroying my world and making sure that I would live in constant suffering." I yelled but this time my eyes started tearing up without my consent.
He walked towards me and gently wiped the lone tear on my cheek. "This is the conclusion you got about me after thinking all these days."
I jerked his hand and moved a few feet away from him. This time I stood with the painting facing my back while he stood in front of me. There was a mirror behind him and I could still see the painting reflection from it. And I thought I escaped from seeing his painting, how wrong was I! How self centered can one be to have to look at their image at every corner of their room.
"Why?" I questioned him. "Why do you have to kill my family? Why are you so heartless?"
He folded his arms over his chest. "If you can't come up with the reason behind the murder then how did you conclude that I killed your entire family?"
I shrugged. "I don't know. I was always sheltered away from dangerous people like you. My family who protected me from everything is no more. I am an orphan now, you Monster." I yelled the last sentence.
He tried to wipe my tears once again but I turned my face away from him and he clenched his fists. "I have nothing to explain to you. Use your half twisted mind to get an answer."
He tried to walk away from me after giving a shitty answer and I blocked his way standing in front of him. "What the hell was that answer? You get to kill my family and insult my intellectual ability as well? No way dude, you have to give me an answer and apologies for your barbaric act."
He opened his mouth but halted when there was a knock on the door. He pulled me closer and bunched my hair to one side giving access to my ear near his mouth. He bent closer to my nape and whispered, "Do not make a noise. You are in grave danger if Yin catches you in my bedroom."
Goosebumps appeared on my skin with his close presence and I pushed him away from me. My eyes twinkled with a naughty thought. So, Jianhong is afraid of Yin catching us in his room. Not bad, I will use this chance to let Yin know my presence in Jianhong's bedroom. I immediately ran towards the door to unlock it and let Yin see the truth but Jianhong was faster than me.
Jianhong pulled my arm towards him with a force that I slipped on the bed pulling him along with me. Our bodies crashed on the bed with a thump. He was above me while I was under him. He had a warning expression on his face and I gave a mischievous smile again. "What if I can't open the door, Jianhong? I can still shout." I tried to call Yin's name but Jianhong closed my mouth with his huge and rough palm. Too bad I should not have informed him my plans.
"Boss, is everything alright?" Yin questioned from the other side of the door while the clicking of his gun can be heard.
Jianhong gritted his teeth and replied, "I am good. What brings you here at this time?"
"I .. am just checking upon you and Mr. Li." Yin answered.
"Alright. Now get lost. We have guards for that work." He yelled and Yin walked away.
What the hell is his problem? Can't he just speak normally? That poor guy was simply doing his duty and Jianhong had to show his power.
Jianhong removed his hand from my mouth as soon as Yin walked away. I huffed and looked at him who was still above me. I realized we were so close when our breaths mingled and I could not even move an inch from under him. My arms struck between his and my body while our legs were dangling out of the bed. We looked at each other not trying to lose the battle. A single water drop from his freshly washed hair fell on my lips and his attention moved from my eyes to my lips.
My lips quivered at his intense look and I finally moved my face away from him facing to my right. I don't want to win this battle of eye lock anymore. It's getting difficult to breathe here.
He sighed and moved away from my body. I immediately sprung up and punched his broad shoulder. "Never try to obstruct my freedom of speech. I know my rights."
"Min, I have no time for your jokes. Better use your brains and stop getting yourself and everyone in trouble." His voice was now serious. "What the hell were you thinking by calling Yin?"
"I want to let him know how dangerous you are and I can escape from here. I am pretty sure he will save me from this hell." I answered.
He started taking predatory steps towards me until my back hit the door. He caged me with his both arms next to my body and questioned, "You think a mere soldier can save you from me, The Boss of Li Empire."
I am scared of him and this situation. But I tried to stay strong and answer him back, "Mafia hierarchy doesn't matter to save someone, Jianhong. One day you could be the soldier and he could be The Boss of your Empire."
"Enough!!" He screamed hitting the wall beside me.
My heart started beating faster and I almost cried but covered my mouth. "If you trust them so much then get the hell out of my room. Remember, as soon as you step out of this room they will first shoot you to death and then examine who you are. I don't think you will be in the position to answer back like you are doing in here."
This sounds dangerous as hell. "It is better to die in their hands than to spend a second in your presence." From where did I utter those words.
"Your wish!" He dragged me with him and opened the door on the other side. He pushed me out of his room and shut the door on my face with a huge bang. I immediately shut my eyes in fear. One from the sound the door made and other from the fact that the guards will now surround me and shoot me to death. I shivered as the midnight's cold air blew non stop on my. The flimsy servant uniform did not protect me either.
After waiting for nearly a few minutes and no body questioned my presence I opened my eyes to see that I am standing in the garden and not in the corridor in front of Jianhong's bedroom. How is that possible? He clearly threw me out of his room. I slowly remembered that there is another door opposite to the door I entered.
Ah! So he pushed me out from the door facing the garden. I felt so relived to be alive. Next time I will not provoke him I will directly kill him. I looked around to find a way to walk back to the servant quarters without the guards noticing me. Surprisingly, the block with my room was just a few steps away from this garden. And there were no guards from this side. As if it is a secret path!
I ran as fast as I can to the quarters and to my room. I covered myself with the blanket to protect my self from the cold. I looked from my window and I could clearly see the garden from where I came from. I will be using this way from the next time to enter the mansion. Of course, only after Jianhong leaving his room.
But wait! How is Jianhong related to the Li Empire? And Gao? Jin? Could he be the son of Jin Li and brother of Li Gao? In that case, Jianhong is .... Li Jianhong. That explains how he became The Boss of Li Empire.
After scratching my head I connected the dots of my father saying 'Don't trust... Li' before dying in my arms. He clearly meant not to trust Li Jianhong. Oh my poor father!
Why did Jianhong kill my family when all my family did was to marry me to his brother? Was there an issue with dowry? Or did he hate the thought of a small Shi Mafia marrying into the huge Li Empire?
If that's the reason he could have just cancelled the wedding instead of killing the entire family and satisfying his ego. Its not like I am dying to marry into his family. Hell, I don't even know their existence until a few days ago.
I started sobbing as the thought of alternate possibilities of my life surfaced my thoughts. I wish Jianhong was dead instead of my family. With that thought in my mind I slipped to a deep sleep.
....
Btw do you like steamy scenes or cute ones?
Now that Shi Min met Li Jianhong what must she do to end her trouble?
