Silence....
Lin mo sighed "Here we go again." he mumbled looking toward the direction of his father before shifting his gaze to his sister
The sound of chair leg scratching against the floor broke the silence.
"Thanks for the meal, father and as I said before I won't marry into the jie clan." Lin wan said,adjusted her clothes and left the dinning hall.
Lin mo stood up almost immediately,bowed to his father and totally ignored the other two at the table before following his sister.
"Sister wan, you have to try and under..."
"I'm leaving" lin wan said cutting mo's sentence short
"Wait.....what!!?" Lin mo pushed the door right before it closed on his face "you can't be serious right now Sister wan"
"Watch me- she placed a travelling box on her bed and begin placing clothes inside- book a flight ticket to..."she paused
Which city I won't be found easily...
"Imperial sky....book a ticket to imperial sky"
Lin mo looked out the curtains at the almost full moon radiating soft light into room
*By this time?*
"Yes" lin wan said and froze. She had replied to mo's thoughts. She glanced towards him
He didn't notice, she continued packing
"You can't be possibly be serious sister wan, you can't leave me here...not with them!" Mo screamed
"Then follow me"
Lin mo paused, his face fell.
* I can't do that too*
Lin wan sighed.She zipped her bags and placed it on the ground.
Lin mo fished out his phone from his pocket and booked a ticket for his sister.
"You can't just walk out the front door with a bag, you know that right?"
" who said I was using the front door?"
Lin wan opened the window
"You can still change your decision and follow me" she took hold of her bag turning to mo who avoided her gaze
"I will take that as a no"
She moved to the window, threw down her box and jumped down swiftly.
Lin mo ran towards the window and looked down. He saw her lying on the soft grass " Sister wan, are you hurt?!".
"Am alright, mo" lin wan replied standing up and taking hold of her box.
"You have to leave now, the plane leaves in an hour"
"Bye mo,take care"
"Bye sister wan" Mo said pouting
****
Few hours later....
Lin wan walked out of the airport with her bag and a pair of black tinted glasses on. She breathed in heavily smiling
"Freedom!" She screamed
*is she crazy?*
*It's so early for noise*
So much for reading people's mind.
She brought out a piece of paper with an address on it before boarding a cab. She stopped at an abandoned looking mansion
"Still standing"
The door cracked open slowly. Lin wan coughed, waving away dust from her face with her hand.
"Father won't remember this mansion left behind -she scanned the room- and it needs a lot of cleaning" she sighed.
Few hours later-in the lin family dinning hall
"Mo, Where is your sister?" Lin zihao the master of the lin clan asked glaring at his youngest son and the empty seat beside him
Lin mo grinned nervously at his flaring father, he knew this was going to happen. I should have gone with sister wan, he cried inwardly
"Madam ye, call lin wan down for breakfast"
Song mei, the mistress of the lin clan instructed, turning to her daughter, song yiyi
Who smiled schemeingly at her
Madam ye bowed down before leaving the dinning hall to lin wan's room.
Lin mo glanced towards the two women direction; he scoffed,What was his step mother and sister planning now
"Master, second mistress is no where to be found" madam ye said, worry evident in her eyes.
Lin zihao turned to mo, who shrieked into his chair avoiding his father's gaze
"Luo chen"
A man of average height and muscular structure entered the dinning.
"Yes master."
"I want camera footage from yesterday night till this morning now!"
Luo Chen bowed leaving the dinning hall.
"Where is your sister I repeat."
"I don't know fath-.." lin mo dodged the fork flying at his direction, eye widened. He turned to his father who was standing now.
"That was just the beginning"
Lin mo gulped.
A guard ran in with a tab, handing it to lin zihao. He played the video and watched angrily as lin wan jumped down from her room window with her bag.
She made to jump the fence but stopped abruptly and turned to the camera. She smiled, waved and blew a kiss towards the camera before jumping.
Lin zihao's face turned a deadly red.
"LIN WAN!!!!!!"
"Ha-chuu!!"
Lin wan sneezed waking up from short her nap. A shiver ran down her spine "strange" she mumbled getting up from the chair.She looked at the wall clock
8:35am
Father would have noticed her absence already and lin mo would be facing a lot of questioning. She turned to resume cleaning and froze.
"Father's going to block my card from the lin family" she screamed picking her bag and running out of the house. Her hair was in a mess and a drool mark traced from her lips to her cheek
Everyone stared at her as she entered the mall in rushing rage "Excuse me!!" She screamed pushing through the crowd.
She moved from store to store, buying essential things she need for both cleaning up and herself.
"I want them delivered"she said and provided her address to the registrar before leaving the last store
"Mum, is that woman ok?" A boy asked holding onto an action figure and pointing at people. "Don't point at people, it's rude" his mum answered as they walked away.
Lin wan frowned. Guess residents of imperial sky really do not mind their business. She turned to the mirror, staring at her reflection
A blush crept to her cheeks as she understood the reason for their stares and comments
"This is really embarrassing right? -lin wan turned to the voice beside her- been there countless times" the girl said before offering lin wan a hankerchief.
Lin wan collected the hankerchief "Thank you, I guess" she waved at the girl and walked out of the store
"Hope to see you again" the girl chided behind lin wan
"I hope not."
