Queen Of Hearts Is The CEO's, Mysterious Love. Chapter 9: Held With An Illusion

Lu Jianjun stepped out and stride towards the bedroom. He walked towards the polished wooden double-staircases covered with a maroon carpet.

Suddenly, he halted before climbing the stairs. His one hand on rails as he remembered the call from Lu Junhui telling him that Li Na has been shifted to Versailles Manor.

His eyes closed for a fraction as he turned around. Definitely, not ready to live with her under the roof. His internal conflict arose where his mind says he has done the right thing but his heart won't resign. It doesn't stand with the thought of another woman living in his manor.

Significantly, in the Versailles Manor! But he should have bought Li Na a few years ago.

Well, Begin late is better than never.

He walked towards the east side garden before handing his coat to one of the servants. Feeling suffocating, he tugs his tie to lose a bit and undid the top button while walking the wooden board aisle of flowers.

Located at high altitude, Versailles Manor has a wonderful landscape garden and the best view is the Sunrise. The east side garden ends at a cliff with a breathtaking view of lake and mountains in distance. And on the most days, the morning star reflects as if it bathes in the lake before rising up to light the whole world. It was a sight to capture in cameras.

In the garden, the sprinkler fountain rippling and the garden sprinkler spraying the water on the moist grass as Lu Jianjun walked leisurely, breathing the fresh air while the cool breeze coherently, tousled his hairs and the black tie he wore. He was wondering when was the last time he had visited the east garden. Reclaiming the past, he harboured the delightful morning spend with his mother.

He stopped near the rails slightly disappointed with the clouded sky. The heavy dark clouds slowly moving towards the west before showering a few drops. Lu Jianjun lit the lighter to flame the cigarette but the showering became dense. He put it back and just when he turned to left, he froze there like a statute.

After a sensible amount of time, the rain grew wilder, drenching him from head to toe. Still, he didn't move an inch as his eyes following every twist of the girl before him. She has been fully soaked like him just the difference she was enjoying the rain while twirling with both arms open and he was held there. Doesn't know why?

Startled or Perplexed!

Anyone familiar with Li Na would be shocked because she doesn't look like a depressed or pessimistic person who tried to commit suicide just a month ago before waking up in a hospital bed. And now, here, she was enjoying the rain like a little kid. Full of life and enthusiasm.

Surprisingly, he was not held by a shock but with an illusion!

After the check-up, the nurse told Li Na about today's scheduled session with the somatic therapist and the psychiatrist which was at 10 in the morning. As Li Na woke up too early she walked around in her bedroom's balcony to lose the numb legs.

From the balcony, she saw a few gardeners cleaning the garden and watering the plants. Essential requirements to maintain a beautiful garden. Of the large balcony, there were stairs at the left corner leading towards the garden.

One thing for sure the person who owned the manor is definitely a nature lover.

Exhausted, she sat under one of the shades of the garden wishing for the rain to pour. But clouds were just growling and moving forward.

Yet, the ambience under the shelter was much relaxing and soothing than been enclosed inside the decorated walls.

She closed her eyes for a while to meditate. Her long wavy hair tied in a clean ponytail was messed up as little strands flicker on her face. But she wasn't bothered for a concise.

Soon it started to pour, gradually, she opened her eyes and she was filled with excitement. She got up stretching her arm in the rain she looked at the clouds.

Though she didn't notice the man standing at her right side lighting the cigarette.

She stepped down on the stair just to touch and feel the streaming rain on her skin. The powerful and evocative scent of fresh rain filled in her spirit.

A tiny droplet fell on her lower lip as she licks her lips to perceive the taste. Her lips stretched into a wide smile. And her both arms uplifted to embrace the nature's shower. She twirls slowly, enjoying the allure and grace of creator.

Entirely lost, Li Na didn't discover that she was shifting to the right. Just as her fingers would merely brush upon Lu Jianjun's shirt he took a step back. Shunning her touch completely, except for the next moment, his hand prolonged and clutched her left wrist as he pulled her.

Previously lost her balance Li Na grasped and frantically opened her eyes as she twirled before bumping into the firm chest. She appeared featherbrained she was supposed to hit the ground but then kept in strong arms.

Just for the moment, the beauty of budding is the promise, but the blooming flower is an only possibility, that the fruit is yet to come.
