Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

92 Wedding anniversary banquet arc (7) : Handing over Mr. Liu's gift

When Yating gave it a proper thought, he found out that it wasn't really hard to figure out the CEO's identity once one knew that Yunru and the CEO were related.

Chen Yunru, despite being the President of Sky Publishing, was actually only twenty years old. Very young for this position but capable nevertheless. Yunru had his college studies ongoing while he handled the company too. Naturally, the CEO was someone older than him. Both by age and by position.

First was his pure instinct. He didn't look down on women or underestimate them, but his gut told him that the CEO wasn't any of Yunru's female cousins.

That viciousness with which the CEO targeted Ai felt like something he would have done himself had he been in his place. It felt personal and possessive, almost as if someone was fiercely protecting the one they loved.

So then remain Liu Jian, Liu Nian, Liu Jun, Liu Jin, Chen Zixin and Liang Bao…he thought.

Liu Jian and his sister Liu Nuo are jointly managing Natukashi. Liu Nian has his own established bakery.

Liu Jin handles the Liu Corps with his father despite being the youngest son.

Chen Zixin is the CEO of Chen Corps and Liang Bao is undergoing his medical studies in a university to become a doctor.

None of the professions had anything to do with books or publishing, nor did he feel that one of them also secretly led Sky Publishing.

The only one shrouded in mystery was…

Yating narrowed his eyes.

Liu Jun.

The Liu family had five children, but people always felt as if they saw only four of them. They knew their careers and had seen their faces on multiple occasions.

But Jun was someone who hardly made any appearances. Nobody would even sense as if he was there. Yet, they would feel a fifth person's presence. He was there but at the same time, he wasn't. People didn't have much recollection of how he looked and certainly, nobody knew what his career was.

Yating had tried to find out more about his educational background to see if he fit the bill, but he couldn't.

All the information about Liu Jun was neatly hidden as if he didn't want the world to know about him at all.

So, Yating concurred that the CEO could only be Jun. He couldn't confirm his background, but he could gauge his personality from this behavior.

Silent and somebody who didn't like attention. He gave off a vibe almost similar to Ai, who he was all too familiar with.

And people like Jun or Ai were often the type who recluse themselves into books and such.

The CEO himself, just like his background and personality, was hidden from the world. It couldn't be anybody else but him.

Yating's eyes glinted with an iciness as he watched the crowd.

Where are you, Liu Jun?

Jun was stuck in traffic. He exclaimed a string of curses seeing the road blocked back and in front of him.

Shit!

Impatiently tapping his fingers on the steering wheel, his heart was overloaded with dread.

Ai and Jin…Ai and Jin…

Why are they together?

Even while driving, he could hardly focus on the road as his mind was jammed with thoughts about them. His gaze would turn cold but then a trace of fear shone amidst the layer of frost.

Dead set on reaching Liu villa at any cost, a name softly escaped his lips.

"Ai…"

"Jun…"

Ai clasped his gift in her hands as she stood in the corridor.

Your gift will definitely reach your parents. I will make sure of it, she sincerely nodded to herself.

The door opened, and two figures stepped out. Her eyes slowly widened upon watching Jinhai and Nana coming out, hand in hand as they smiled at each other. The aura around them made her go into a trance. Her heart skipped a beat observing them.

Their warm gazes and the loving smile on their lips made her heart flutter. They radiated such pure marital bliss that it would even resonate among someone who might not believe in love. Their hands were firmly intertwined. Even at this age, she could feel the strong love they held for each other.

Ai felt envious. It was as if her fingers were itching to write down this wave of inspiration flooding within her and express this slight ache tugged at her chest. She wondered how she could put this feeling into words?

But the thing she deliberated the most was…

Will I find someone just like how they found each other?

Will a day ever come when I will…look like her?

Her gaze lowered, recalling her past life with Yating.

Ai hadn't realized she was holding her breath and a gasp escaped her lips, feeling breathless. Her stupor broke, and she noticed Jinhai and Nana leaving for the banquet hall.

She rushed after them. "P-please wait!"

They stopped and turned. Jinhai narrowed his eyes as his jet black gaze traveled to watch her from head to toe.

Nana's lips curved into a gentle smile. "Yes, dear?"

Her voice hummed like a soft melody in Ai's ears, filled with warmth and concern. She could feel her cheeks blushing pink.

Mrs. Liu is so beautiful…

Ai stared at her. Now that she watched her from this close distance, she could see where Jun got his beautiful dark brown irises from. His fair skin was just like her too.

As for Jun's face, he resembled his father a lot. A shiver passed through her neck as Ai met Jinhai's deep, contemplating and sharp gaze.

Now I see why Jun's eyes are so intense…

He was like Jinhai. Hiding something dangerous and possessive beneath that calculating gaze.

Ai straightened her back and slightly bowed. "Hello. Congratulations on your wedding anniversary. My deepest wishes that you two keep living in bliss like this for many more years to come."

Nana beamed. "Oh, thank you so much dear! It means a lot to us."

She curiously observed her. "I feel like I have seen you somewhere…"

It was in the video which Jun sent her where Jian and Nian were flirting with Ai in the library.

Ai blinked. "Oh. We might have unknowingly crossed paths somewhere."

"Haha, yes it could be just that."

She nodded and softly smiled. She took out a gift box and raised it towards them. Jinhai and Nana looked at it, puzzled.

"What is this?"

Ai said, "It's your wedding anniversary gift from your son."
