Chapter 2: Li Yihan

~Let's kill this love yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah~~ rum pum pum pum pum~

The sound of a famous K-pop girl's band ringtone woke the sleepy girl on the king bed size up.

A beautiful hand reached to the phone on the bedside table.

Her slender finger pressed the pick-up call without looking at the caller ID.

"Hello." She greeted with her eyes still closed and continued snuggling under the blanket.

"XIAO AI! How are you? Are you feeling well now? I miss you so much, my baby."

(*Xiao means little. Ai is a shortcut of Aylin's name.)

"You heartless girl, you don't even tell me you came back? If not for your mom called me, I wouldn't know at all." a sweet familiar voice sounded from the other side of the phone, woke the girl completely.

"Shiman? " A stupefied voice sounded out. Aylin then looked into the caller ID on her phone. "It really is you! I miss you too, hon."

'Did her mom call? Is she worried?' She though.

"How many times do I have to tell you don't call me by that name when it's only the two of us. Call me Shiyang. SHIYANG. Ok!? I hate it. I'm still angry with my mom till now because of it." A sweet voice complaint.

She couldn't help but giggle. If men were to hear this voice, they would probably imagine a cute and adorable girl. But if they see what that sweet voice-girl in person, they probably are shocked to death.

"I don't know what's on her mind. Just because she had that dream when she carries me, she puts the word 'man' in my name?"

"You tell me if I should feel angry or not. She actually believed in that stupid dream." A sweet voice continued ranting, although it sounded cute in a weird way.

"Why? Isn't her dream come true now?" She laughed. "I would probably think your mom has another job as a fortuneteller as a side hustle if I didn't know her. Should I ask her to foretell me? I want to know my future, too." She laughed out loud.

"Geez..are you really my friend?" The other voice said angrily.

She could imagine someone pouting right now.

"Ok, Ok. My pretty, my sweetie, don't be angry anymore. You call just in time. I have something for you."

"What?" The other voice asked, sounding suspicious. "I don't feel good whenever you said you had something for me." 

"What the..? What kind of a person am I? You make me look like I am such a bad friend now."

"Then what? You bought a diamond necklace or the new limited Louis Vuitton bags for me?"

"Emm...No. Why would I?"

"Yeah, I know. Right? Why would you? So just tell me. What do you want me to do, your majesty?"

"Hehe. Nothing much, my dear. Just dig someone's background for me." I said. "I want every little detail about that guy."

"That guy?"

"Who? Who is he?" the other voice said in an excited tone. It has been a long time since this friend of mine was actually interested in a guy, the other side thought.

"Li Yi Han."

30 minutes later

I was eating my breakfast when there was a honking sound from outside. Then a few minutes later followed by a tall and handsome man walked through the main door. I stopped eating for a while to look at that person.

The sun-rays in the morning shone on him, making such a dazzling effect on his image. Like a model, walking out of his catwalk show captured everyone's attention and made their eyes can't look at anything else. He only wore a simple white shirt with blue ripped jeans. He unbuttoned three of his shirt's buttons, showing his masculine chest.

'Ah, What a handsome prince' That what she thought.

She turned her gaze to the corner of the room. Her mouth twitched. The maids came out of the kitchen to look at him with their mouths open. And there was admiring in their eyes.

"Xiao Ai, I got your thing. You haven't told me yet. Why do you want to know that man's background?" He sat down next to me and continued talking...more like babbling.

"Eh...wait...don't answer yet. Let me guess. Emm...is he offended you in some way that you want to capture him back to be your slave?"

Cracked~

"Or is he your ex-play-thing that you met when you're abroad? You still can't forget about him. So you want to know where he lives and kidnap him to your room? Eh. No no. I checked and, it did not say he went abroad in this past two years."

Cracked~x2

"Or he is..." sound of something cracking as he continued talking.

Is it too late to take my word back?

"I know, I know he must be-"

"Stop!! Stop with your nonsense." I couldn't help but cut him off. If he still opened his mouth, babbling nonstop, I think I might need to see my doctor again.

"What with the 'capture him back to be your slave'? Are you writing some fictional novel?"

I rolled my eyes before saying." It was such a waste of that appearance of yours. Who knows how many women fall for you and how many men jealous of your appearance?" I looked up and down at him before continuing.

"Tsk tsk...But it got scattered as soon as you open your mouth."

All the servants in the room also had the same thought as her. They could only shake their head in secret. Who makes their Miss's handsome friend this way. They knew what type of person he was so, they cast a final look before going back to do their own thing.

This handsome guy with brown hair was my male-not-male friend, Ku Shiman but preferred as Shiyang. He was the only heir of the Ku corporation. A top 10 famous and successful technology cooperation in S city.

And he was also the best hacker.

He was a true two-faced monster who could hide his secret very well. Only those who were very close to him knew what his true form was. Not even his dad knew that he was interested in a man. To the outside world, he was a famous playboy and successful heir that every girl wants.

"Who cares anyway? I'm happy the way I am. You just feel jealous because you can't compare with my charm even you are a girl." He said with confidence, his hand reached to snatch the toast from my hand.

I was speechless.

"Yes, yes. I would not dare to compete with you at all, Mr. Ku." I put my hands up as to say I surrendered as I did not want to continue wasting any more time.

"Ok, I'm finished. Let's go somewhere else and talk." She said while wiping her mouth.

"Heh! I just come, and you want me to go out again. You don't even invite me for breakfast or give your guest a glass of water to drink."He said, trying hard to swallow the remaining bread toast.

"I did an errand for you. I woke up early and came here straight away. I...Is this what I get as a payment?" He asked, feeling grievance.

'What woke up early? It was 10 am.'

I smiled and grabbed his arm.

"Let's go. I'll buy you something delicious on the way."

"Where?" He looks confused.

"Old place."

Li's Mansion

Today Madam fang came to discuss the marriage in the early morning.

In the living room sat three people. A couple and one woman. They all in their mid 40th. These people were Mr. and Mrs. Li and Madam Fang.

Mr. Li, Li Wen ting is a cold-outside but warm-inside person. A complete tsundere. He and Mr. Fang Lui Wei were swornbrothers. And his beautiful wife and Madam Fang's best friends, Mrs. Li, Li Shao nan.

"Brother Li, Shaonan, today I come here to discuss our child's marriage." Said Madam Fang.

"You see, this marriage is set by us, old people. But the two children still haven't met each other yet. I'm not sure if they both will be willing or not." She showed her worried.

Mrs. Li looked at her husband before comforted her friend.

"You don't have to worry. Aren't both of them quite close when they were young?" She thought a little before continue. After all, she also loves Aylin since she was little. She really wanted Aylin to be her daughter-in-law.

"How about this? Find a day to let them meet each other first. Then they can get to know each other more and become closer."

Only after Mrs. Li finished talking did Madam Fang showed a smile.

"Right! Why don't I think of it before."

"Lets them meet tomorrow then."

"Ok, I will find a good restaurant first." Agreed, Mrs. Li. They both continued chatting as for Mr. Li? He was drinking his tea leisurely and silently listened to them. What his wife's opinions were, he wouldn't voice any disagreement.
