Dear Young Master Spare Me Please? - 206 Courting

efore han meixiu left, liu zijian mentioned that he would send her the survey and to take her time answering and be honest as much as possible as the result might be affected if she would just randomly answer.

he also mentioned that varied results would be much more favorable thus she could just write down anything that she wanted.

she simply nod and went to her work area.

she was able to check the email only after she finished all her work. based from her observation as well, the survey was easy to answer and would only take about a minute or two.

but she was wrong.

the survey questions were not answerable by simply checking boxes and enumerating her thoughts. it was an essay type.

han meixiu knitted her eyebrows. she originally thought it was some kind of quantitative survey but it’s actually the opposite.

it’s qualitative. it is a type of research methodology that seeks in-depth information about the ‘target’.

if that would be the case, then the remaining 15 minutes would simply not enough.

since liu zijian said to take her time, han meixiu planned to answer them at home.

she wasn’t aware that her ‘survey form’ was one of a kind and tailored only for her.

“you seemed worried about something.” liu zijian who just came in the study saw han meixiu as she was subconsciously twirling the pen she was holding.

“i’m thinking how to answer properly this survey form. i wonder how the other people were able to answer this quickly. maybe i’m lacking in too much information about what normal couple like to do.”

she answered without moving her eyes away from those paper. she already printed them out as it’s easier to move around holding it than staring on the screen of her laptop.

liu zijian simply nodded as he was pleased that she’s indeed taking it seriously.

the result would still take few days to be completed but the young man wanted definite information he could ponder for a time.

he tried calling his brother before coming in but this time he couldn’t contact him at all. he must have been busy.

looking at the time, he could try calling his mother but he’s a bit worried that his plan would be blown out of proportion.

recalling what his father said, it really seemed he must give it a try.

after few rings the familiar energetic voice of madam liu could be heard from the other line.

“oh my, little misses his mom?”

“mom, did dad tell you something?”

feeling puzzled the older woman asked.

“you dad? what should he tell me?”

liu zijian inhaled deeply and went out of the room before he continued.

well, he didn’t really expect his father would blurt out that he called him earlier.

“about courting or dating someone.”

“huh? you’re already married and you want to court and date another?” madam liu’s mood started to get sour.

sensing the nearing eruption of his mother liu zijian inhaled deeply and started to explain.

“why all of a sudden?” the older woman asked although she couldn’t hide her delight.

“it’s not yet your anniversary and your 100 days already passed.”

“does it really matter?” liu zijian impatiently but politely asked in return. although upon hearing his mother’s words, those ‘events’ seemed important and it wouldn’t be bad to take note of it.

madam liu’s smile was getting wider. indeed there’s no need to wait for special occasions to express someone’s feelings.

“alright. since it’s the case, i’ll tell you the things i did when i courted your father.” she said proudly.

“huh? but wasn’t man…”

“little zi, if i waited for your father to court me you and your brother will not exist. besides, i was the one who fell in love with him first thus i was the one express it. there’s nothing wrong with it.” madam liu said cutting the argument her younger son wanted to start.

i’ll tell you, when you do it, forget about what other people would say. the important thing is, you express your love and your message was fully understood. oh well, sometime it would be misunderstood, too. my point is, don’t hold back because of what would other people say.your happiness is your responsibility not theirs.”

liu zijian just listened. he didn’t really care about what other people’s opinion anyway so he thought there’s no problem.

the more he listened the more he questing himself if he could do those things. he would never know unless he would eventually try.

what he received was a detailed information but he wasn’t sure if those things would suit his wife.

beside there was one question his mother that he couldn’t answer directly.

what’s his motive and what result he really wanted?

by the time he went back in the study, han meixiu was already writing seriously.

the young woman woke up when she felt there was a movement in their room. as her arms extended to the area where liu zijian would always sleep, she found it empty.

she slightly opened her eyes and saw him wearing a shirt.

“where are you going?”

“there’s an emergency meeting i need to attend. i’ll be away for few days. i’ll leave ye ming so he could assist you.”

liu zijian gently answered. he didn’t plan to wake her up while he was still changing clothes but since she already did, he could only answer her in a calm manner.

“what time is it?”

“it’s around 4 o’clock. you can still go back to sleep.”

“i’ll see you off.” han meixiu said and she quickly got up to fix herself.

“okay.”

“how many days you’ll be away?”

“minimum three days. it depends if we can fix the problem as soon as possible.”

han meixiu nodded. it must really be an important one.

after bidding goodbyes, she returned to their room but couldn’t go back to sleep.

she then decided to continue answering the survey.

if it’s just a normal circumstance, he would already let his wife accompany him. but he thought she’s safer in k country as her mother was also concern with her safety.

in the car, liu zijian was talking to ye long.

the brother of ye ming was already waiting in the airport.

since he couldn’t contact his brother after that one call in the morning, he started to actually doubt that maybe something might have happened.

he asked ye long to check his brother’s track after failing to connect a call again that night.

ye ming found out that the last transmission of his phone was an empty and abandon warehouse that just exploded.

then it simply meant the phone was there but what about his brother?

according to what ye long gathered, the warehouse was scheduled to be demolished and it just went ahead of time. but there was no casualties inside.

if that’s the case, where is liu zilong then?

ye long also tried to track the first young master’s assistants but he only found the location of the hotel they were staying but none were actually in there.

liu zijian normally wanted to tell his father about the situation but an unknown number called him.

it was miller, one of liu zi long’s assistant.

he gave him their current location and informed that his brother wasn’t in good condition. he would tell him the complete story once he would arrive. and he should be careful.

it was clear that they were in hiding.

but why?
