Chapter 123 - Dense in a cute way

Why did he have to be so impossible? Even if she flirted with him, why can't he let it g and run with the flow? Why did he have to rub it all over her face? Jing Lihua wanted to cry but she had no tears.

"I just wanted to invite you to go try a place with me." It was taking her every ounce of self-control to keep her voice mild and polite. "Remember at that fancy restaurant you took me? We have decided to try a place in Beijing. Are you free right now?"

"The one with spicy food?" Li Zhiqiang laughed. "Are you sure you can beat me? Until now, whenever we had a competition, I won every time without even trying. Maybe you want me to win so that I can ask you to..."

"Don't let your imagination run wild." Jing Lihua punched a cushion on the couch imagining it was Li Zhiqiang's face. She took a deep breath. This was wrong. She was supposed to be good with him. But, damn, this man had a tendency to make her lose her calm. "You never won without trying! At that time, in the restaurant, your face was all red." She couldn't stop herself from retorting. She knew she was acting like kids, but, fuck it!

"But that doesn't change the fact that I won every time." Li Zhiqiang chirped. Jing Lihua could imagine his smug face.

"You didn't win last time!" Jing Lihua regretted as soon as she said that. She could almost saw Li Zhiqiang smirking and ready to say his next line, She cursed herself and immediately cut him before he could even start. "Don't you dare to say that!"

"What? I didn't say anything." Li Zhiqiang was actually baffled.

"Just forget it. Are you free right now?" She gave up. She heard him chuckle slightly.

"I'm currently at a meeting. I'll be back to my apartment as soon as possible. How about this, you get there first and wait for me? Once I'm back we'll go together?"

"You are currently at a meeting?" Jing Lihua had an ominous feeling.

"Yes"

"Does that mean you are sitting in a conference room right now?" Jing Lihua's voice dropped. A second later, she laughed as if she had said something stupid "Why would you be sitting in a conference room? You must have gotten out to attend the call. How stupid of me to imagine that. You wouldn't bicker with me in front of all those officials."

"I guess so...?"

"Are you outside or not?!" She dropped her tune.

"I'm in the conference room."

Jing Lihua: "..."

Li Zhiqiang couldn't understand what was wrong with that. But around the huge table, dozens of important officials and a CEO of a foreign megacorporate who was stopped in the middle of his momentous presentation so that the tycoon could attend his call were staring at Li Zhiqiang and thinking collectively. 'There is definitely something wrong with that'

"Why does it matter. Everything's more important than you, you know that?"

In the conference room, everyone's ears perked up in synchronization. They were all thinking the same thing.

"This is definitely a girl!"

"Could she be the legendary mysterious girlfriend of Mr. Li responsible for the break up of Wu Xiuqin and Mr. Li?"

"Shut up! You know that the media exaggerates. She is not the one who stole Wu Xiuqin's position in Mr. Li's heart. I have some inside information and Mr. Li was never in a romantic relationship with Wu Xiuqin in the first place."

"But you can't deny she must be the one who was behind the Wu family's current wrecked position."

Everyone in the room shuddered. "Well, that indicates her position in Mr. Li's heart. Anything else doesn't concern us." The Wu family's current situation was brought upon them by themselves. People could pity them but that was how things worked. Why did that family had to offend the 'Devil' in any way?

Everyone was thinking about the same thing. Some of them even secretly sent messages to their agents to find out who that girl so that they could buy her some expensive gifts or get close to her and her family to earn the favor of the "Devil'. They were all in a great competition! Everyone wanted to approach that girl before others!

While people were planning, the great 'Devil' was still busy talking with his JingJing.

Jing Lihua sighed. She should just never think about Li Zhiqiang as a normal human being. "There is definitely nothing wrong with that. I'll be at your place soon. You do not need to hurry. Attend your meeting with ease." Jing Lihua gave up and ended the call. She had already figured out the situation in the conference room.

"Great, now everyone's is looking for me. Thanks, Mr. Li."

Looked like she needed to tighten her security to stop anyone from getting her identity. She was still married and didn't want to affect Li Zhiqiang in any bad way.

"I don't know what in seven hells is wrong with him." He could be so astute sometimes. But sometimes he could be so dense. Jing Lihua smiled. She couldn't deny it was in a cute way.

Jing Lihua picked up the cat and prepared to take it out. She dressed moderately yet comfortably because the place they were going wasn't a fancy restaurant. Jing Lihua walked with the white cat in her arms and asked Wang Yi to take her to Li Zhiqiang's temporary address.

The way to his place was long. After stepping out of the car, she took a look around. "Of course, the great 'Devil' wouldn't settle for something less than the perfect." With the cat in the arms, she walked into the housing apartments. The residential area was one of the most expensive paces available in Beijing. It won't be wrong to say the most expensive place. Where only the VVIP dared to stay. A single night stay cost more than millions.

Even the most influential families in Beijing alone couldn't afford it. One of the overseas megacorporate financiers had this complex made to accommodate important business partners. "So even the overseas financiers are sucking up to Li Zhiqiang." Jing Lihua laughed and walked ahead. Unfortunately for her, she stumbled into someone she hadn't expected to be there.
