Loving You: A Blessing or a Curse?

Leaving his office, Shen Xun is stopped at the door and faced with a reproachful glare.

"Young miss." Shen Xun greets Han Lili respectfully and pretends not to see the displeased look on her face.

Han Lili ignores her greeting and furrows her brows.

"Why are you here?"

"I came to give Mr. Han a document."

"You should come here less often. If you need to deliver something to him, give it to his assistant. If every employee was like you and walked in here whenever they had something to report, wouldn't this place be a circus?"

"But mother says he should be checked on regularly to make sure that he is taking proper care of his health."

"He doesn't need you to do that for him. He has me, his sister, and I am more capable than a bodyguard."

Hearing her words, Shen Xun secretly clenches her fist.

Indeed she was nothing to him, the Han parents may be nice to her but that doesn't make her a part of his family. She wasn't even sure if he saw her as a woman or an asset. But that didn't matter, being by his side was enough. He would be hers and hers alone. If she couldn't have him, then no one could. Anyone who came between them would need to leave, even if that person was his sister.

Shen Xun nodded her head and 'thanked' Han Lili for relieving her of her duty before walking off.

Staring at her receding figure, the frown on Han Lili's face deepens.

This girl gives her the creeps.

To make things worse, she was in love with her brother. Even though she covers it with her stoic expressions and monotoned speech, she could still tell. She wasn't just in love, she was obsessed. Following her brother around like a stalker all in the name of looking after his safety.

What if someone like this becomes her sister in-in-law?

Shen Xuan has never done anything wrong, but she just doesn't like her. The way she walks, talks and carries herself... It all seems fake. Like some huge act.

Han Lili has always claimed herself to be a good judge of a person's true nature. And what she feels from Shen Xun is an intense murderous aura. It radiates from the core of this seemingly obedient young woman. Even though it's normal for a bodyguard to be intimidating, the vibe Shen Xun gives off is sinister and almost inhuman. Like a sociopath who just found a new obsession.

She doesn't have any evidence to support her claim so her parents won't let her send this 'innocent' girl without a family away. But that doesn't mean that she won't do what she can. In her opinion, it was best for her brother to keep his distance.

After Shen Xun left, Han Lili turns her gaze to the door and pokes her nose through it to get a good look. Seeing her brother's brooding figure, she pouts.

She would rather not deal with the 'iceberg' while he was like this.

"I need to get my bob trimmed." Finding herself a valid excuse, Han Lili hurries off to her hair salon.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Han Lili smiles in satisfaction.

"Zhao Li, you're the best." She sincerely praises her hairdresser.

"Ms. Han, I didn't do much, you're hair is naturally beautiful."

Han Lili tilts her head to the side accepting the compliment. Her eyes widen at the sight of the two women getting their hair done.

One was a brunette foreigner and the other was an Asian with green eyes. Both were clad in beautiful designer dresses. One was red, the other was black and gold.

Han Lili's gaze didn't leave the green-eyed beauty getting her hair cut and curled.
