Young Master Liem

Chapter 29 The Arrival of Miss Hu

Miss Hu had already made a meeting appointment with Sun Kwan, of course with the intention that the young man would take her to Wan Siang's house. The girl had dressed herself up in such a way, wearing a pink cheongsam that depicted her mood in love.

The girl first went to the Liem family home to meet Sun Kwan. By the time he came, Miss. Liem was at home, and was shocked to see Miss Hu looking for Sun Kwan. Mrs. Liem was worried, lest his forecast misses. Although the girl was introduced to Wan Siang, but she even approached Sun Kwan.

Even so, Mrs. Liem felt he had to remain calm about the events of the day, as he could not ban Miss Hu as much as he forbade his own son.

“Nona Hu is beautiful once today,” greet Ny. Liem, force yourself to smile.

“Thank you Madam, today I want to travel accompanied by Sun Kwan.” Miss Hu said.

“If you can know, where do you want to go?”

“To Wan Siang's house, because I heard he did not live here.”

Inner Ny. Liem was relieved, because Miss Hu intended to go to Wan Siang's house. That meant her fishing the other day on her birthday had been welcomed by the girl. Merta Ny. Liem became more friendly, as if by his own daughter-in-law.

“Sun Kwan, you take Miss Hu to Wan Siang's house, so they can get to know each other better,” said Ny. Liem to Sun Kwan.

“Good Mama.” Sun Kwan answered as necessary.

Sun Kwan begins his journey to Wan Siang's house in a horse-drawn carriage. Throughout the journey Miss Hu seemed happy. That time Miss Hu left unaccompanied by her maid, so she felt freer.

“Sun Kwan, how do I look today?” ask Miss Hu.

Sun Kwan took another look at Miss Hu's appearance from head to toe, and felt that the girl was flawlessly perfect. Apparently Miss Hu if viewed up close is very beautiful, her skin is smooth white, her smile is very sweet accompanied by two dimples on both cheeks.

For a while Sun Kwan was stunned by the beauty of the lady, especially Sun Kwan had never traveled with a girl alone other than his sister Siaw Cing. The woman also smelled good. Any man would surely fall for her, if approached. But Sun Kwan was trying to restore his senses. After all, Miss Hu had already shown her interest in Wan Siang.

“Today Miss looks beautiful, anyone would love to look at Miss,” Sun Kwan said.

“You flattered me, but thank you, because I'm so confident. This is the first time I've ever wanted to approach a man. What do you think of women taking the first step to approaching men?”

“Does Miss feel ashamed doing it?”

“Is what I'm doing this something embarrassing?”

“I don't think it's a shame, instead Miss looks brave,” replied Sun Kwan.

“Supposed people should not be ashamed to acknowledge their own thoughts, it is like accepting yourself. So, you think I'm a brave girl, like Hua Mu Lan?”

Sun Kwan smiled at Miss Hu's words. Hua Mu Lan is a brave girl who goes undercover to replace her sickly father in battle. The man also felt astonished because Miss Hu knew about Hua Mu Lan. Surely the girl has extensive knowledge in the field of literature.

“At least different, because Miss does not need to disguise as a male.”

Miss Hu smiled sweetly at Sun Kwan, because the man understood what he was talking about. It's great to meet people who can understand our knowledge and thoughts. Just like Miss Hu who really enjoyed talking about various things she knew with Sun Kwan.

The horse carriage that Sun Kwan and Miss Hu had boarded had arrived in front of Wan Siang's house. It was eight in the morning and a few minutes. Wan Siang and Si Manis were in the living room, Wan Siang drank coffee and read the Sunday newspaper, accompanied by The Sweet who also read the newspaper while drinking tea. In front of them was a plate of fried bananas.

Seeing the sudden arrival of Miss Hu accompanied by Sun Kwan, Wan Siang and the Sweet One were shocked. Inevitably the two of them put down the newspaper that was being read and met Miss Hu.

The two women with different backgrounds finally looked at each other. They admired each other's beauty. In the eyes of the Sweet One, Miss Hu was a very beautiful and shining Chinese girl, with a bright white complexion. Whereas in Miss Hu's eyes, Sweetie looked so graceful. Without excessive makeup, Sweet already looks beautiful, natural beauty that makes people will not get tired of looking at him.

“Eh...e... sorry I came without telling you in advance,” said Miss Hu nervously.

Wan Siang looked towards Sun Kwan, because it was because of her sister that Miss Hu could know her home address.

“Please enter,” said the Sweet one who showed the hospitality like a host. After all, it is not good to let guests just stand at the door, especially if the person is a girl. So thought the Sweet.

Miss Hu then sat on the chair opposite Wan Siang's chair sitting earlier, they were facing each other. The Sweetie understood the situation would be very awkward if he was near Wan Siang. Therefore he begged him to let Wan Siang talk to Miss Hu. While Sun Kwan chose to sit on the front porch of the house.

“Can I ask, who is that girl?” ask Miss Hu to Wan Siang.

“Name The Sweet, we have been staying together for a long time,” replied Wan Siang with a flat face.

Miss Hu was of course surprised, she did not know that the man she really liked had a mistress of a Javanese girl. His confidence suddenly dropped because he thought, maybe Wan Siang prefers Javanese girls like the Sweet One. Miss Hu felt her attempt at putting on makeup that day was futile. Because Wan Siang seemed indifferent to him, like the day when they were introduced. In contrast to Sun Kwan's view of himself on the horse carriage earlier.

“Actually what did you mean by coming here, Miss Hu?” Ask Wan Siang.

“I want to meet you, I want to know you.”

“Are we not acquainted on my mother's birthday?”

“I want to know about you, Wan Siang. You make me think of you day and night.”

With all the courage that the girl had, she tried to express what she felt every day. Ever since he met Wan Siang, only the face of the man had been reflected in his mind.

“Should Miss think of something more important than me.”

“I never think about men, as I think of you. I think I've gone crazy for liking you.”

Wan Siang himself was surprised by Miss Hu's straightforwardness. She was indeed a brave girl, just like Hua Mu Lan. Now Miss Hu has been on the battlefield to fight over Liem Wan Siang's heart. The difference is, Miss Hu uses attacking tactics, while the Sweet prefers to defend.

“Control yourself Miss, don't think like that. Before you really lose your mind,” Wan Siang advised.

“I don't care if you've stayed with that Sweetie, as long as you leave room in your heart for me.”

“My feelings are very limited, maybe just a little. In my heart there is no room as big as you think.”

“Although just a little, as little as anything, give me a chance.” Miss Hu pleaded.

“Unfortunately, the room is only enough for one person. You have to find another room for yourself, I'm sure there's plenty of empty space out there that can accept you Miss.”

Miss Hu's eyes looked teary. But whether he would just give up, no one could guess. The girl never fell in love like that. He really wanted to have Liem Wan Siang, that desire seemed to have become an obsession.

Surprisingly, even though Wan Siang had been cold to Miss Hu, the girl still could not let go of her admiration for the man. No matter how sick her heart was, Miss Hu's love for Wan Siang never disappeared from her heart.

“Better I feel pain than feeling nothing. You make me feel like a human being with feelings,” Miss Hu said in tears. Wan Siang was convinced that the girl before him had lost her mind.
