In A Better Place

When Li Lingyun hugged her back, the first thing she thought of was how secure his arms made her to feel, Minutes passed, the whole room was silent until they heard a knock on the door. It was as if the knock bought them out of the moment even they themselves were unaware of and also bought Lin Yan back to her senses. She immediately pulled away from Li Lingyun and said "Come in" to the person at the door.

Gu Wei opened the door and bow slightly to Li Lingyun.

Li Lingyun who was frozen after Shen Yi pulled away from him also came back to his senses after he saw Gu Wei. He regain his cold aura and asked "Where is Li Xiao?"

"She was immediately sent to the Old master room as soon as I bought her."

Li Lingyun sighed and nodded his head, he looked at Shen Yi and said "I have some important business meetings at Li corporation, I will see you later."

"Ok." Lin Yan replied while avoiding to look him in the eyes.

Gu Wei who noticed this wondered if something happened with his master and his wife again. Did they have another for fight?

"Let's go." Gu Wei nodded and close the door on his way out.

Lin Yan sigh after they have left and use her hand to hit her head as she whispered to herself "What is wrong with you Lin Yan? How could you just hugged someone's husband just like that. Wait! I am now in Shen Yi body so that makes him my husband, right? Forget about it. I should go see Xiao." Just then her phone rang and she smiled when she saw it was Lin An.

...

"Did you get it?"

"Yes master" Gu Wei said as he pass her a brow envelope to Li Lingyun.

When Li Lingyun opened the envelope and took out the papers from it, Gu Wei said "Your suspicion was right, Li Qiu indeed get most of his money through arm dealings"

"Did you find out who his partner is?"

"Yes, it's Tang Zin."

"I see."

"You don't look surprised."

"That is because I am not surprised. Tang Zin has always been ambitious and he feels that his brother who is crippled does not qualified to rule the Tang family. He thinks he is better than Tang Yui and he does not miss a chance to show how inferior his brother is to him." Li Lingyun said.

"So does that mean that Tang Yui is a pushover."

"No, not at all. The truth that no one knows is that although Tang Yui may not be able to use his leg, he is still the most dangerous, cunning and manipulative man I have seen in all my life. Tang Zin is like a child who thinks he knows what he is doing but he doesn't."

"Should we report Li Qiu actions to Old master Li."

"No there will be no need for that. Li Qiu can get involved in whatever dirty business he wants to. The more deeper he is involved, the more interesting it will be when I ruin him."

....

Meanwhile in the Old Mansion, Li Xiao loud wail could be heard even from outside the mansion. Old Master Li heart ache as he saw his beloved great-grand-daughter crying without control. He glare angrily at Fang Min who was the caused of it by telling Li Xiao that her aunty Lin was dead.

Lin Yan who had just finished her conversation with Li An heard the loud cry and came downstairs, only to see almost all the family members were gathered and Li Xiao was crying profusely.

"Xiao?" Hearing her name made her to stop crying because she knew it was her mother who called her. She rushed to mother and hugged her leg as she sniff her nose.

Lin Yan bent down and use her hand to clean Li Xiao face as she asked "Who made you cry?"

Li Xiao pointed her tiny hands to Fang Min and said "Wicked aunt said that aunt Lin was dead. Mummy aunt Lin is still alive right?"

Lin Yan heart ached when she heard that. She knew Li Lingyun wanted to be the one to tell her because only him knew how to control her when she start crying like this, but now that Fang Min have told her the truth without Li Lingyun being here, she have to try her best to stop Li Xiao from crying so much.

"No, it isn't the truth. The truth is your aunt Lin have gone to a better place."

"A better place?"

Lin Yan smiled and carried Li Xiao in her arms as she said "The reason you can no longer see her is because she is now in a better place. A place far better than this one."

"Then Why didn't she say goodbye?"

"Your aunt Lin thought that if she had said goodbye you, then she would never be able to leave."

"Then does that mean I will never see aunty Lin again"

Lin Yan gave Li Xiao a sad smile and said "No. But you have me and I am starting to get jealous. I feel as if you love your aunt Lin Yan more than me."

Li Xiao immediately shook her head as she said "I love aunty Lin but I love mummy and daddy the most."

"Really?" Lin Yan asked and started showering Li Xiao face with kisses which made her to giggle.

"My Li Xiao is the prettiest when she smile, so more crying. Ok?"

Li Xiao nodded her head as she rest her head on her mother's shoulder.

Lin Yan looked at Old master Li and said "I will take Xiao to her room."

Old master Li nodded his head.

Lin Yan took the little girl back to her room and she was surprised when she saw that Li Xiao has already fallen asleep. Lin Yan laid her down on her bed and kiss her forehead as she said "Sweet dreams my baby."
