Siren Song - 235 Then Why Would You Not I + II

‘I didn’t think that I would return here after everything.’ Stepping further in, headed for the staircase Jian closed the door behind them as she reminisced.

“The master bathroom is upstairs, second door to the left.

“I remember.” Giving him a tight smile Chang had already started to walk up, running her hand along the railing slowly as she ascended.

“Sorry of course you do.” Chortling the man began to walk away, loosening his tie as he did.

“Is it alright that I just go up? Is it ok?” Stopping Chang felt embarrassed about how she acted. Leaning over the railing Chang called out to actually ask him.

“Yes of course it is.” Halting Jian turned and gave her a reassuring smile. Leaning against the railing Chang couldn’t help but stare at Jian. If only she could come home or be home to see him like that every day with his tie undone but still around his neck, and a few buttons on the top unbuttoned. Staring at him, looking so enticing, Chang forgot what she was starting to say for a moment.

“I mean more than just being here, using your facilities and stuff. I mean between us. Are we going to be ok?”

“I hope so. We will have to find out. Go wash yourself for now, I will see about getting you some food.” Jian smiled slightly but it was not his usual warm and clear response.

“Mm. Thank you Jian.” Slightly disappointed Chang continued up leaving the man to look at her figure with a complicated expression on his face.

Closing the door behind her Chang leaned against it as she sighed deeply.

Running the bath with hot water Chang looked around, but was unable to find any of the things that she had used before, hoping to make it a bubble bath after the long day.

‘Geez. Why would anything you had used still be here its been a long time, almost three years. You have to be kidding yourself.’ Chiding herself for her foolishness, Chang started to strip off her too tight, sticky clothes.

The girl had been fairly close in body shape, but in size she had been smaller by a couple sizes or so, making her traded clothes feel like a second layer of skin.

Still at what had only been a half second glance while crying, Chang felt like she had spotted a fairly close look-alike.

‘I doubt Ju-Long would have just expected me to find a girl and trade clothes with her real quick either.’ Snorting a laugh from her nose Chang eased herself in, rubbing her cramped sore joints.

Running down the halls with Jin Ying, Chang had found the girl who had looked similar enough to her talking in the hall with another woman. When Chang had approached the young woman desperate, the girl had recoiled in disgust, her cute nose wrinkling.

Thank goodness Jin Ying had been with her to help her persuade, and eventually bribe the girl to trade clothes with her and exit with Chen Bohai as Chang had been failing due to her appearance. As the girl did not have her passport on her and would be unable to take the pre-booked flight they gave her enough funds for another, just so long as she left Shanghai in her disguise.

After complaining extensively about the condition of the clothes she had to wear the girl left with Jin Ying as Chang waited in the bathroom lobby. After seeing the decoy away Jin Ying had fetched her and taken her to the company parking lot on the pretext of leaving for the day.

After quickly checking that no one was around to see, Jin Ying quickly hunched over the trunk before pooping it open without setting off the alarm. Shaking her head in wonderment Chang could not help but be impressed by Jin Ying again.

One day you have to tell me how you know all these skills.

“Sorry I can only tell all my secrets to one person and I already chose them.” Closing her eyes Jin Ying had held her hands out helplessly.

“Who is it, do I know them?” Curious Chang cocked her head.

“Your mother.”

“Fine, keep your secrets, can you at least tell me how you just did that though?”

“I took JianAmal’s keys earlier as a reward to myself for babysitting for him earlier.” Pulling out of her clutch a few keys, Jin Ying dangled them causing a joyful tinkling sound.

Speechless Chang could not find anything to retort with and crawled into the small trunk folding her frame to fit inside.

“Good luck. Are you sure you do not want me to tell him?..”

“Thank you Jin Ying, yes, just in case. I do not know where Ju-Long has his eyes and ears, even this has me nervous, I don’t want to jeapordize your family’s safety. I’ll tell him myself after we are at the safety of his home. Everything will be fine till then, just hold on we have to out up a front for now.”

“Alright then, I dare not linger any longer.”

“I understand, go now Jin ying, everything will be fine.” Smiling as she shut the lid, Chang put a fist to her mouth once the lid was fully closed, trying to quell the fear that came up being in a dark enclosed space.

Closing her eyes Chang had pictured her goal letting the minutes slip past as she had dreamed of Jian. Even now she still thought of him.

‘I’ll have to try harder if I want him to react warmer to me again. That was super nice by the car though.’ A slight curve came to her lips as she thought about the way he had held her.

Sighing Chang sank deeper in trying to soak away the day’s anxiety, wondering where the two of them would go from where they were at. Or what would even happen when she left her bath. All of a sudden, the sound of the door being opened caused her eyes to snap open.

Holding a towel in his hand Jian looked at her with a fathomless look as he put the towel on the rack for her.

“Hey don’t barge in, I’m naked in here!” Seeing that he was completely unrepentant and was even coming closer Chang covered her chest.

“So what? It is not as if there is anything that I have not seen before.” Raising an eyebrow at her Jian stood across from tub and leaned against the wall, folding his arms.

‘Still…’ Seeing that he did not do anything further other than stare Chang felt her heart start to accelerate. ‘Oh go he isn’t going to tell me to leave after this is he..’

“What’s up?” Smiling Chang tried not to think about the dark thoughts until she found out from the man himself.

“I just can’t stop looking at you, it seems a dream almost, but I know it is real. I am glad to see you here. I cannot help but to wonder when you will be gone again though.”

“Never Jian, not unless you want me to.” Holding onto the edge tightly Chang gave him an earnest look.

“No, even if I may come to regret my decision, I would still have you here.”

“You won’t. Jian, If I had actually left with your father earlier, would you have gone after me?”

“No.” After pausing in silence Jian looked at her steadily crushing her heart with his words before it flared up in anger.

“Why not? Seriously, after everything that I went through to get to you now. After how hard you have had to fight for this. Why would you back down now? Don’t you remember how hard we’ve had to fight to be together?”

“Of course I remember that is exactly why I say this.” Unfolding his arms Jian moved closer until to her until shadowed over her.

“Chang.. I am so tired. I am so tired of always having to guard myself against my father, of having to look over my shoulder wondering how and where he will strike next.

“If you had left, I would have let you go. I do not wish you to have to live like this either.”

Seeing his saddened look that he tried to conceal Chang felt her anger deplete completely. Rising up Chang wrapped her arms around his neck, giving him a tight squeeze as she whispered into his ear.

“You are not on your own Jian in this fight, I am here for you, to stand with you. We will figure out your father together, so don’t talk like this” Feeling his arms come up around her in reciprocation Chang felt a wide smile break out on her face and she buried her face into his shoulder.
