Entering the main hall of the palace together, Jia and Xiaoli had to part ways when they reached the middle room. Where Jia had to go up to the second floor, while Xiaoli will go out through the back door to return to mess bodyguard has made sure the Young Miss survived to the floor that she can rarely step on.
Thinking the entire house has been sleeping, Jia was surprised by the presence of the older brother who was none other than his own twin brother.
Jio was about to go to his room after coming out of the brother's room. When just a few steps of his feet stepped to approach the door of his room, Jio actually heard a familiar voice downstairs.
Suspicious, he immediately approached the stairs. And when his cat's eyes saw the little sister facing off against Xiaoli, Jio was interested in greeting the unusual younger brother coming home at midnight like this. But his first greeting really made Jia jump in shock.
"Why are you wearing Xiaoli's jacket?"
Jio's question which was actually very light sounded very heavy to hear Jia's ears.
Never lying in his family, after hiding a secret, Jia was quite nervous when almost caught by the brother if he was giving an unusual smile to the bodyguard.
"A.a.i was..."
Momentarily Jia's brain - blank. Don't know what to answer.
"So Miss Jia didn't bring a jacket, Young Master. While the ride home was quite cold, so I gave my jacket to Miss.." Xiaoli said with a flat face and remained calm.
"Well! Right!" exclaim Jia getting a fresh breeze. He immediately smiled stiffly.
It was not wrong he loved a deft bodyguard like Xiaoli. But the one that had made Jia think.
How could Xiaoli look ordinary when she was nervous to death?
There was not even a glint of eyes that he had seen the entire time when it was just the two of them.
Is Xiaoli just pretending to love her?
' NO NO NO NO!!! '
Shouted Jia in the heart.
"Return!" jio's words sound like an unflinching edict.
"Yes, Brother." Jia replied resignedly.
He took off the black jacket with maximum warmth.For Jia certainly no jacket warmer than the jacket of the bodyguard love it. Besides being warm, its fragrance also made it seem to be embraced by the young man.
As soon as the jacket detached from his body, then the warm and fragrant was also released and out in the air. Reversing the body, the eyes took the time to see the handsome face of the bodyguard who looks flat and ordinary.
"It!" Jia thrust the black jacket at Xiaoli. "Thanks, Xiaoli!" said Jia smiled faintly, then immediately lowered her head and went back to face the older brother - the man who was still on the top step.
"Samely, Miss.." Xiaoli Chen replied in a respectful tone, staring at the back she had hugged on top of the Fields of Pealand hill.
"Get in your room, it's night!" jio Dengkus.
"Yes, Brother!" jia replied as she stepped up the stairs without turning her head to Xiaoli who must still see her through the young man's eyes.
Moving his feet up the stairs, Jia passed the older brother who was still standing by following his movements. Then he disappeared behind the wall.
One step past the wall, Jia stopped and directly stuck to the wall. More precisely Jia hid behind the wall, to listen to what Jio would talk about on the youngest bodyguard who is now his lover. Because Jio never went back up, or was heard to talk.
Although Jia did not look directly, but he was sure that Xiaoli was still down there facing the older brother. Alias her own twin who was crowned as her brother. Where he should respect Jio like a brother to his brother.
' Don't let Brother Jio interrogate Xiaoli! '
' Even though Brother Jio is great, hopefully he doesn't know that Xiaoli and I went to the hills! '
Sentence after sentence of hope he spoke in the heart. Because if he muttered, surely Jio would hear his voice. The young man's ears are not just any ears, Jia thought.
"Good night, Young Master." said Xiaoli bowed respectfully.
"Hemm." replied Jio flatly.
While Jia immediately took a thousand steps when he realized the door of the father's room would open, to then enter the door of his room in the hallway opposite the main room in Michael. Failing was his plan to eavesdrop on Jio and Xiaoli's conversation.
"Daddy would like anything else out of the room!" gerutu Jia from behind the door of her room. His breath gasps because he almost gets caught if he wants to eavesdrop on other people's conversations.
"Daddy?" greet Jio to the father who came out only with shorts, without wearing clothes to cover the upper body. So that the athletic body of the Mafia is clearly visible and real. If there was a woman in the room, obviously they would be fascinated by the charm of the man who seemed difficult to age.
"Why haven't you slept yet, Jio?" michael asked as he approached his crown son.
"Jio just got home, Daddy!" answer Jio.
"Xiaoli!" call Michael when he sees the young bodyguard still down there.
"Ready, Master!" alighted Xiaoli
"You just got home?" michael asked a glance at the giant wall clock on the second floor, where the clock now shows 00.05 Italian time.
"Yes, Sir!"
"It just so happens you're still here!" the Mafia said from the top of the stairs. He was satisfied because the bodyguard managed to bring Jia home on time and survived.
"Can I help you, sir?" xiaoli asked, raising her head up.
Inwardly, Xiaoli muttered...
' This is us Jia. You're up there, while I'm down here. To see you, I have to look up. But why do you also return my feelings so easily? '
' You should be able to get a man equal to you. No need to look up to see your sweet smiling self up there.... '
"My niece, Yellow is coming from France. I want you to pick him up at the airport at 10am with Antonio!" jio said firmly to Xiaoli.
"Ready, Master!" xiaoli replied respectfully. "I will do it! and come on time!" xiaoli replied seriously.
"Hemm..go!" tell the Mafia Lord that there will be no more bodyguards in the room.
"Ready, Mister. Good night, Great Lord and Young Master." Xiaoli nodded respectfully, saying, before finally leaving the middle room with a black jacket that he just used to warm the body of the lover.
"Hemm... yeah!" answer Jio flat.
Jio and Dad are still up there. Stand alone between the room that has begun to dim because the lights are indeed - many lights that have been extinguished.
"Tomorrow did Yellow come with Uncle Darrel and Aunty Oliver?" ask Jio.
"No, Darrel said Yellow would come alone, he misses you!"
"Oh.." smiled softly. "I also missed our time at the temple!" muttered Jio reminisced about the hard life and what it was during the temple.
Far from the frenetic capital. Especially about money. They are only taught how to count money, without being given a penny. Because there is no seller there. They just focus on training and learning.
"Daddy heard he's a playboy.." - Michael.
"Yes, Daddy's right! I'm sure Gerald would be a great fit and love to hang out with Jellow. Same - same likes to tease women!" his grunts heaved a heavy sigh mixed with a sense of wonder at the two people.
Michael bit his inner lip. In his heart he hoped that the crown prince would never know his insanity in youth.
