Li smiled wearily.<br/>"Indeed there is a reason, and I'll tell you what I know of it. Madame Shu might know more, but I advise you to talk to her later tomorrow. But before I go further, I want to make something clear..."<br/>His smile grew more playful again as his hand reached and covered her hand holding the cup.<br/>"I would have invited you at our table even without these details, and I am glad you agreed to travel with us for completely different reasons. In fact, we only noticed said reason after I sent Jiao Jie to invite you for a drink. Do you remember that? Good."<br/>His hand didn't move away.<br/>"See, there is a reason I asked Madame Shu to wear a veil. You look more like her than many daughters are similar to their mothers. In fact, if such a thing was possible, I would be thinking you are her daughter..."<br/>He kept looking her in the eyes, waiting for the shock to pass, than gently added.<br/>"And that's also why you really shouldn't go where we were. A powerful society of murderers is looking for revenge against Madame Shu. It would be unfortunate if they mistook you for her!"<br/>Without releasing her hand, he raised his own cup with the other hand.<br/>"As you see, there is more than the obvious reasons why I'm glad you joined us. Just remember before you speak - this has nothing to do with the way I behaved towards you!"
