The Letter II

Beijing 14:22pm.

Lu Shaoting was tending to his instruments in the drawing room. His aid was preparing him a ginseng tea.

"The girl is the first grade grand daughter, of the Queen of England. Although she is not very popular between her family members, she holds a close friendship with the throne heir, Prince William!" Informed the aid.

The old man seemed like he hadn't heard his aid, he was polishing meticulously the zither, with his old trembling hands. He suddenly spoke.

"You know what to do!"

"Yes! Great Master!" Said the aid then bowed and left.

At the Phoenix estate, two maids were cleaning the room that Lu Ri-El had resided in. The master instructed them to do so. Was she going to return back to the mansion with the master? All the staff was hoping that, that will be the case.

Ling Yi, a maid that worked for the master for more than five years, was folding the freshly washed pyjamas and wanted to put them back in the dresser. By mistake she pulled the drawer too hard and it came out completely, falling face down on to the floor.

"Ahh..." She screamed, withdrawing her feet at the same time. The drawer almost fell on them, she wouldn't be able to walk for weeks, if that happened. The quality of the furniture in the house was the best, so it was very heavy.

"What's the matter??" Asked the other maid from the bathroom.

"Nothing... I am ok!" Said Ling Yi, starring down at the drawer that fell on the floor. A piece of paper was stuck to the back of it. She bent down and removed carefully the dated folded paper. It looked like a note or a letter, she opened it and looked at the trail of words. Her eyebrows rose instantly.

"My Dear Jinchen

I have been visiting our usual place for days, but you haven't come back. I miss you so much, I want to see you, there is something important I need to tell you. I think I am pregnant! Its your child! If you read these words, please tell me what to do. I am scared.

I will leave him if you want to, just tell me what to do and I will follow you. Jinchen I love you! I do, I love you with all my heart. Please don't reject my feelings and come to get me away from here!

Yours truly

Yan Yan"

"What are you doing?" Asked the other maid. Ling Yi quickly stuffed the letter in her apron and turned to face her colleague.

"Nothing... I was reading some care instructions..." Answered Ling Yi then proceeded to put the drawer back. "This... I can't believe this... if it is true then the Lu family that we all know of, will be completely turned upside down..." The maid thought to herself.

Now the power was in her hands, it was still unclear which side she favoured. If the letter was to get in to the wrong hands, an ugly storm would shake the whole of China.

Back in London after a few hours, Lu Ye Ze came back to his senses. He looked at the asleep girl in his arms and his heart starting racing again in his chest.

"You are finally mine, I will never let you go... never again!" Whispered the man into her ear.

It was noon already. He sent a text to his assistant to prepare a new set of clothes for him and bring lunch.

He got off the bed and went to take a shower. Jo, in her sleep, felt the man leaving her side and woke up. She turned to his side of the bed, but he wasn't there. She furrowed her brows.

Suddenly Jo heard the water running in the bathroom. The corner of her lips instantly lifted up, so she tiptoed after him in the shower.
