The Antagonists
CHAPTER 23
"Mr Zi Lan is sorry that I don't know where Madam has gone" Liuli said.
Yuan Zi Lan was now in Wei Lian's room, unfortunately his wife was not in his residence.
"Did he come out together with Xu Ye Han?" asked Zi Lan with an unpleasantly troubled look.
"Yes?." asked Liuli back with a puzzled expression.
"I knew he was hosting Xu Ye Han earlier, so I asked you Liuli, did he go with Xu Ye Han?" Zi Lan explained.
Liuli was speechless not answering Zi Lan's question.
"Cihhh...you should have taken good care of Wei Lian, did you know that Xu Ye Han has a rough nature Liuli ? If anything happens to Wei Lian, I won't forgive you." Zi Lan said and left Wei Lian's room.
Liuli was confused after Zi Lan's departure, what if something bad happened to her Nyonya.
"What if what Master Zi Lan said was true ? But I feel that Mr. Xu Ye Han is a good person, he is also very attentive to Madam." Liuli said.
Zi Lan who had just left the Wei Lian residence headed straight for her room in a fit of rage.
"How dare that brash man tease my wife." muttered Zi Lan.
Opening the closet in front of him, Zi Lan changed her clothes, she also used a veil to cover her face.
Finished that he immediately left the Wei residence by flying.
Yuan Zi Lan moved further and further towards the forest, where he entered a cave.
Inside the cave it was really very clean and well maintained like there were people living there.
"Finally you come too" greeted a man wearing a veil.
"I have a new task for you" Zi Lan said
The man was wondering what task Zi Lan would give.
"What task will you give Mr Zi Lan?" asked the man.
"My wife is outside, I don't know where she is, it will be faster if more people are looking for her" Zi Lan said.
"Your horse is Lady Lu Meixi?" asked the man.
"Wei Lian, what I mean is that he is Zhou Li." Zi Lan told the veiled man.
Although there was still curiosity in him, Zhou Li chose to go to carry out the duties of his Master.
"Wei Lian you shouldn't do something that worries me and scares me" Zi Lan murmured.
As far as Zhou Li was concerned, Zi Lan looked at a painting that was plastered inside the cave.
There is a painting of a woman as well as a man. Zi Lan also bowed in honor.
"Mother.dad.forgive me this son of yours who rarely visits." said Zi Lan.
Zi Lan continued to look at the painting with a sad expression, not feeling any tears flowing from her eyes.
"I still can't keep my promise to be a dutiful child, I hope you can still be patient waiting for my revenge" Zi Lan said.
Zi Lan also recalled the happy times where her parents were still alive.
* Flashback On*
Their family was a very happy family, little Zi Lan was accompanying her pregnant mother sewing a garment.
"Mother is that the shirt that my sister will wear later?" asked Zi Lan.
"Yes my son, this dress that will be worn by your sister, is very beautiful is not it?" asked her mother.
Zi Lan nodded, she still remembered her mother's smile back then.
But suddenly a servant ran towards them, with tears he said something that made his mother was immediately surprised.
"Mrsna...The lord is very badly injured, he has been possessed by the demon ma'am." said the maid.
Unfortunately the mischievous little Zi Lan ran away and tried to catch up with her mother.
From a distance he saw his mother kneeling before a man who was strangling his father.
Faintly from a distance he heard his mother pleading with the man.
"T-sir please let go of my husband hiks hikss." said his mother.
It's a shame that the man didn't listen to his mother's request.
With his own eyes he saw the man killing his father, mother and sister who were still in the womb.
When he wanted to scream, one of his family's servants smothered his mouth and took him away.
* Flashback Off*
On the other hand Wei Lian and Xu Ye Han were spending time together, Ye Han took Wei Lian around in the market.
Tonight was the last night Ye Han was in the Wei residence, he forced Wei Lian to spend time with him.
"Actually where did you take me away Young Master Xu?" asked Wei Lian.
"Look at it later, you will definitely like it." Ye Han said.
Ye Han grasped Wei Lian's hand and pulled the girl closer to him.
Wei Lian looked at Xu Ye Han who was smiling at her as well.
"I'm afraid you're lost in the crowd" Ye Han said.
Now they both stop in front of the mask seller.
"Everyone wears a mask, we have to wear it too" Ye Han said.
Wei Lian only agreed, indeed since then the people in the market went around wearing masks, for some reason Wei Lian also did not know.
"Sir, buy this couple's mask for you and Miss." bargained the seller.
"We both did not finish." Wei Lian replied, Ye Han interrupted her.
"I'll buy it" Ye Han said and gave the seller money.
Although annoyed Wei Lian still accepted and wore the mask given by Ye Han.
"You're always acting all you want" Wei Lian said annoyedly.
Ye Han only chuckled lightly to hear it, then dragged Wei Lian towards the crowd of people dancing together.
"Do you know about the myths in this dance Wei Lian?" asked Ye Han.
Wei Lian shook her head as well, how could she possibly know the details in this novel world.
"There are those who say that if you dance with and return to your partner or loved one when this dance ends then you are a couple that has been determined by heaven." Ye Han explained.
Wei Lian did not believe Ye Han's words at all.
"There are a lot of people here, even if there is such a thing it might just be an arrangement" Wei Lian replied.
"Do you want to bet with me to prove it?" asked Ye Han.
"Alright." replied Wei Lian.
Before that Wei Lian told Ye Han that she could not dance at all because she had not been interested in things like this in the past.
In the end, Xu Ye Han explained and taught Wei Lian about the movements in the dance.
