Chapter 350 - Twisted Rules (1/2)
At Country V
At Chen's Mansion
Senior Yang woke up early and prepared himself to have a walk outside the mansion. He usually jogged or walked at that hour in his mansion while savoring the fresh air and watching the sun rise.
He went out and walked in the hallway. He was startled when a door opened and Liz came out.
”Sorry did I scare you.” Liz mumbled with a grin seeing that Senior Yang had an expression like he almost had an attack.
”Follow me. I'll jog along with you too.” Liz energetically said. Senior Yang did follow her and the two walked outside.
”Lucas will meet Ester today. He will call as soon as the visit goes well.” Liz said while they finished one round jogging circling the huge track in the garden and sat on the bench panting as she looked at the sun rising.
”Is that safe? Aren't they at war?” Senior Yang asked. He was worried.
”Of course… They are not allowed to hurt each other openly especially in one's territory. That's so against the rules. Those clans all have two faces. You see them smiling at each other even though they are entangled in internal fights…”
They paused for a while thinking about what to speak.
”Isn't it a great view?” Liz commented while she looked at the sun rising.
”Yes it is.” Senior Yang turned his head in the direction Liz was looking at and agreed, while he prayed that Lucas' meeting would be a success. He himself had never met Lucas yet but he was briefed that he was the current King of Quan Clan.
”Whenever you see the sun rise. What do you usually think of or say in your mind?” Liz asked out of curiosity.
Senior Yang chuckled and answered, ”Another morning is here and…”
Senior Yang paused because he was about to jokingly say, ”and another day without 'you'.”
He referred to his late wife about the word 'you'. For some reason he became sensitive not to say it infront of Liz.
”Why did you cut it?” Liz complained with a smile.
”Hmm I forgot what I was about to say next. How about you Liz?” Senior Yang asked instead. He wanted to know what Liz was thinking at that moment while she watched the sun rise.
”Another morning and another loveless life?” Liz jested and followed it with a loud laugh.
”Seriously?” Senior Yang mumbled and Liz nodded.
”So how about helping me out from this thoughtform so I won't be loveless?” Liz candidly stated that made Senior Yang gulp.
”Liz… I … I really don't know what to say…” he muttered.
Liz grinned and said, ”You don't need to say a thing James. You also don't need to answer me. I just want you to know how I feel just in case you have a low EQ because of being alone for so long.”
She was glad that James was not apologizing to her and she took it as a positive sign. He did not say sorry so there was a possibility that the latter was considering her feelings.

At Yue Clan's Territory
”It's been a while Lucas. Oh your son, time flies by so fast. I'm rooting for your son and trust me I will support him this coming election,” the old woman smiled while she poured tea for the two gentlemen before her.
