Chapter 19 - An Arrogant Head Maid
Feeling awkward, her head was down while hands were clenched in nervousness. She peeked at Wang Shiwei but got nothing more then ignorance.
Grandpa Wang continued to smile and speak about the things related to their love life. "So when are you both getting married?" he said.
Even though grandpa Wang was speaking a lot of things that was counted as weird for Caixia and Shiwei, but that last word startled them and Shiwei who was drinking coffee coughed it out.
Grandpa chuckled, "What are you so surprised about? Oh, it must be because you still..".
Shiwei meddled before his grandpa could finish his words, "There is no reason, we are still far away from marrying each other and I think that getting engaged for now is enough".
Caixia eyes widened and she gulped while glaring him, "This bastard! He takes engagement as a playing thing. Are you kidding me! Just lying about being in relationship was more then enough but now you want to get engaged, in your dreams, huh!".
Daoming was acting like a cute dog who was fawning over grandpa with a sweat smile.
"Hmm, I thought that marrying would be best but you just want to get engaged! When are you thinking about having grandson for your grandpa," Daoming said but flinched after getting both Shiwei and Caixia ominous glare.
"Grandpa, I..," Wang Shiwei stopped before completing his sentence after grandpa showed his palm which meant to stop him from uttering anymore useless nonsense.
"I understand that you need some more time, but I won't back off if you want to cancel the engagement," he said in a serious tone.
Wang Shiwei nodded to his grandpa wish.
His grandpa gave a bright smile and glanced at Caixia, "What about you, Lin Caixia? Are you ok with it?".
Putting a fake smile she nodded while thinking, "No, I am not ok with it! Just cancel this plan and let me goooo.. that's what I really want to say but forget it, I owe him and it's better to pay back rather then getting targeted while I am still weak".
They had dinner in grandpa house and later at 8: 30 PM, they left.
Caixia stared at her watch and become shocked, "Its already so late, quickly drive me back to my home," she said.
Forgetting all those question regarding the sudden engagement that dropped on her head out of no where, she was more worried because she had an appointment with Si-ting.
Wang Shiwei eyebrows become curvy and he asked, "Why are you in hurry? Is someone waiting for you?".
"No need to know everything about me, just be quick and drive me back," she replied while staring outside through the window.
He frowned as he saw her panicked face and thought, "Is she keeping a man at home or maybe there is some other reason".
Wang Shiwei stopped the car and furiously stared at her. "Why can't I know about your things? Lin Caixia, tell me honestly, what are you hiding from me?" he said with his hoarse voice.
She gulped as his face came closer to her, rather then becoming shy, she moved a little more closer to him and said with a serious face, "Why not come with me, and meet with the man I am keeping at home".
He annoyingly chuckled and moved back, starting the car, he rushed with a high speed. His face irritated and hands tightly grabbing the steering.
"Wang Shiwei! What are you doing? Why are you driving so roughly? We are not at the race tracks but on the highway!" she shouted while grabbing her seat.
"Its your wish to reach home quickly and I am fulfilling it," he replied.
She was left with no word and breathed out from her mouth, "Whatever!" she mumbled and sat silently.
He felt quite weird that she was not panicking even though the car was moving in such a high speed.
"Who is she really? Was the Caixia I knew from before was a face, she created to hide her true self, or the Caixia I am seeing right now is a fake one?" he thought.
Lastly they reached their destination. Outside the Lin Mansion, Si-ting was standing near the wall beside the big entrance door. He was wearing a casual dress and carrying a bag which looked heavy.
She quickly got out while forgetting that Wang Shiwei was still there.
"Sorry for being late but why are you waiting here rather then entering inside? I have already informed the maids, they would have taken you inside if you had rang the bell," Caixia said while rushing toward him.
Si-ting softly scratched his head and awkwardly said while smiling, "I did rang it but the maids you are talking about didn't let me enter inside".
Wang Shiwei frowned while hearing them, he was still staring at them with his cold eyes.
Suddenly Caixia felt a chill and turned behind, "He is still waiting there! Wait for a second, I will take care of that person inside the car, first," she said and walked toward the car.
Leaning and staring inside, through the window, she knocked on it. He dropped the glass and stared her while giving a cold vibe.
"Why aren't you leaving?" she asked.
His face twitched and he frowned, "Is he the man, you wanted to meet in such a hurry?".
She nodded while glancing at Si-ting, "Yeah, is there any problem? I don't think you will mind since our engagement is a fake one".
Gritting his teeth, he clenched his fist and glared her, "Yes, you are right but I am wondering whether the love you showed me before the accident was true or a fake mask used by you".
She gave it a serious thought and with a faint smile on her face, she said, "People tend to change and so their heart, don't take my love for granted because I have buried it inside a deep well, now the only thing I have for you is gratitude".
In a rush, he started his car and went away, his face showing a pissed off expression.
She ignored it and said while approaching Si-ting, "So my maids stopped you from entering inside! It seems that I have to teach them well".
Worriedly he stared her and as she entered inside, she got her way blocked by a thick maid who called herself as the head maid.
"So you were waiting here for me, but why are you blocking my way?" she said.
The maid gave her an annoyed look, her face looked more scary and she thought of using it so as to scare Caixia away. "Miss Caixia, you can't bring a man to the mansion, it is a very shameful act!" she said.
Caixia sighed, "How troublesome, a maid is teaching her master! Do you want to die!".
Her intimidating words were quite scary but taking the bet, the fat maid shouted, "What if someone found out about your shameful deeds after sending the Master and Madame of this house to the prison. They will not only criticize you but everyone related to the Lin family".
Caixia looked down while thinking for a while, her hands on her lips and eyes giving a dark stare, "What you said is true, head maid".
The head maid smirked and thought, "Yeah, that's the weak Caixia I know. Now that the masters of the house have left this mansion, I will become the true master while this stupid Caixia will be my puppet".
Si-ting gulped and looked down worriedly. "But that's only for you, head maid! I don't care what others say and until someone from my own Mansion spread the rumors, I don't think that others will hear about what's going on inside the mansion," Caixia said, her face had an amusing smile.
The fat maid panicked and gritted her teeth, "Who knows, when the rumor start spreading and since you as the owner of this house is so foolish, then the only thing I can do is to stop you from doing anything stupid," she shouted.
Caixia yawned and glanced back at Si-ting, grabbing his hand, she said, "Not even three days are left, I can't afford to waste my time on a useless person, let's go inside".
The head maid called for some other maids and blocked the path totally.
Caixia felt annoyed.
Si-ting patted on her shoulder, "Its ok, let's decide on somewhere else to study".
"Look at him, he is smart and knows what to do, now go and do whatever you want outside," the head maid said while laughing.
"So going outside with a man will not ruin the reputation of the Lin family," Caixia said.
The head maid arrogantly looked away while making a 'hump!' noise.
Now her temper was at its last stage, she walked ahead while leaving Si-ting behind, stopping in front of the head maid, she stared her with a sweet smile.
The head maid grinned, "Now you understand me! Children should hear elders, since we always wish for their happiness".
