'Loving you is like a disaster.'

The cold weather tonight is disturbing me so unconsciously I am rubbing my arms but I never expect if Cheng Sheng Lin will took his coat and put it around my shoulders. I can't denied it this coat really make me warmer.

His obsidian eyes meets mine. This is the first time I feel so intimate with a man just from a gaze. His eyebrows looks beautiful. I have to admitted that He is a handsome man and no wonder a lot of rumor about 'how beautiful he is' can be heard.

"Young master...I can't accept this." I want took off this coat but he stopped me at once.

"You are a women and don't make me looks bad."

He is correct indeed so I accept his coat."Owh...Thank you Young Master."

To be honest I am still thinking about their meeting at the riverbank. A lot of questions in my head. May be I was shocked because from their conversation, I know Jia Ming Yue stabbed my back. Unfortunately I can't ask any questions about this matter because it will make him suspect me.

"Jing Er, what do you think?"

I realized that I am thinking too much and make him curious.

"Nothing, Young Master." I take a deep breath at once.

"Jing Er, you told before if this city is your hometown so why you lived at Li's manor?"

What is the trap question? I must think a wise answer for him.

"Young master, I need to visit a friend over there."

"Your friend lived at Li's manor?"

Cheng Sheng Lin looks so serious when asked me about this. I know one thing : make friend with a traitor can be punished. To be honest, I don't like talking about that topic over here and fortunately Cheng Sheng Lin looks like understand what I want.

"Yes, Young Master. I knew the Li's family got punished and the rumor said that they were all died when they confronted King. "

"Weren't you there also?"

He is talking straight forward this time even I can't read his expression. He knows that I was there but why he didn't arrested me? Cheng Sheng Lin smiles again. His gaze make me shudder at once. He knew that I have connection with Li family but he still keep it as secret. Did he has scheme?

My stomach becomes full and I think I have to come back to Huang's manor soon. Cheng Sheng Lin is a dangerous person. I must avoiding him right now until I am ready.

"Young Master, thank you for dinner. I have to come back."

"I will accompany you." He told.

What?! Why! He let Jia Ming Yue come back alone why he has to accompany me? Is he wants investigate me?

"No need. I-"

"No. I think a girl is walking alone at the night is so dangerous. Please let me accompanying you."

What?! I am not a woman! I want shout it loud in front of Cheng Sheng Lin but I can't. He pay the bill then coughing. I know he wants me to follow him. but my eyes settled on Mei Hua who looks more beautiful during this time.

but along the way, I can't stop think about conversation between Cheng Sheng Lin and Jia Ming Yue. If what they were talked before are truth so big chance if she is a spy that's mean she gives information about Li family to enemies. How come Jia Ming Yue became like this.
