CEO Vengeful wife

Chapter 66 - Failed by him.

Chapter 66 - Failed by him.

When Jing Lihua opened the door, for a moment she forgot everything. In front of her stood an incredibly handsome man. His eyes shone like dark gems. His features were clear and chiselled. He was tall, almost a head over Jing Lihua’s head. In the fitting custom made tuxedo, he looked unreasonably hot.

He was already ridiculously hot, to begin with, but within that dress, his allure went to an entirely different level. Jing Lihua was so lost staring at him that she didn’t even see him placing fresh roses in her hands.

"Um..." Jing Lihua didn’t know what to say. She had planned to make him feel inferior with her looks but it seemed like the situation was inverted. She was the one feeling inferior in front of him.

"You look beautiful," Li Zhiqiang said smoothly.

And uncontrollably Jing Lihua blushed. It was not her fault, alright? Who wouldn’t blush being called beautiful by such a hot piece of meat?

"Come in. Let me place the roses in a vase." Jing Lihua said the first thing that came to her mind. Because, for reason, her mind went blank in front of him. And she was no longer the calm, collected woman.

Facing away from him while putting the roses in a vase, she gritted her teeth and took a few deep breaths to bring herself under control. Finally, when her heart slowed down, with a calm smile she faced him.

"I agreed to dinner with you. I think it should make up for you saving me. After today, we would be even."

Li Zhiqiang kept standing at the door. He didn’t come in. "Say that after tonight."

Jing Lihua followed him to the elevator. If Jing Lihua was infatuated by his looks, the same was also true for Li Zhiqiang. He had noticed how prettily she was prepared. When he said she looked ’beautiful’ he meant it. And to think that she prepare so eagerly for the dinner with him, his heart felt strange happiness. Was she trying to impress him?

Did that mean she was attracted by him?

While Li Zhiqiang’s head was filled with thoughts full of hearts, Jing Lihua was making evil schemes in her mind. When Li Zhiqiang guided her to a private garage, Jing Lihua paused for a moment.

She had already failed him in one place. "Don’t tell me he’s got a better car than me. How am I supposed to act like I’m looking down upon him and bring my new custom made car to show off and make him feel inferior? All of Mei Xiu’s efforts would go to waste." Jing Lihua had planned to laugh at his car and tell him she wasn’t going to ride in that lowly vehicle. Then she had wanted to bring in her car to show off.

Feeling a little lost Jing Lihua walked with him and what awaited her made her head numb.

This model...

"Is that the logo from that... from that Japnese company?" She had been browsing through the famous brands before ordering a car from a famous Chinese company. So it was only natural she recognized the car company.

"My date is knowledgeable." Li Zhiqiang praised her. It seemed like his brother’s method was working. His JingJing looked impressed. If the date goes successful, he would give a huge gift to his brother.

Unbeknownst to Li Zhiqiang, Jing Lihua was not impressed, she just felt like crying. Wah! She failed in second place too! No worries, there will be more chances in the future. Yes!

"I’m not your date. I only agreed to dinner. This is no date." Jing Lihua said somewhat grumpily.

"Is that why you have dolled up so prettily."

Jing Lihua didn’t know how to counter that sp she chose to remain silent and climbed into the vehicle with Li Zhiqang at the back. The dressed driver sped off the car.

"Where are you taking me?"

"That’s a surprise."

Jing Lihua sighed and looked outside at the city. The Hong Kong city looked so beautiful at night. The skyscr.a.p.ers lifting it to the height of the sky. Jing Lihua frowned. It reminded her of something. She had a strange feeling that she had been here before. "I’ve never been here. I’m sure of that" Then why was there such a strange emotion bubbling in her heart?

Jing Lihua was so lost then she didn’t snap out until the car pulled into a spacious garage and the bustling city vanished out of sight.

"We are here", Li Zhiqiang said and like a nice gentleman got out, graciously strode to the Jing Lihua side and extended his hand for Jing Lihua to climb out.

It would be a lie if Jing Lihua said that she wasn’t impressed with the smoothness of his actions. With a smile, she took his hand and climbed out. But that was just the start of Jing Lihua surprises. Just as the entered the hotel, a team of management staff and the chefs entered to welcome them. Jing Lihua was left somewhat flabbergasted.

"Let me guide you to our most famed dining room. The room offers a vibrant view of the whole of Hong Kong. Many foreigners wait for months just to book the room. The room had a great history ever since the existence of the Royal Continental restaurant. Even the past President had once dined in that room." The manager continued the introduction in a professional tune.

All the while Jing Lihua was in deep contemplation. She glanced at Li Zhiqiang through the corner of her eyes. ’It seemed like I’ve greatly underestimated you, the crazy doctor. I was doubtful first but now I’ sure that you are not a doctor.’ To be able to receive such reception in a five-star restaurant, he really wasn’t a small character. Jing Lihua was getting more and more convinced that he had a relation to the revered Li family.

Maybe it was him who convinced President Li to help her in the first place.

The manager opened the door and the huge curtains on the other side parted. A breathtaking view entered their eyes.

"Please chose the dishes. They will arrive in no time. May you enjoy your evening President Li." After a bow, the manager left.

Jing Lihua unconsciously walked towards the glass panes. She had always loved these sights. To be at a place where she could look at the whole city under her. Her hands touched the glass.

"I’ve noticed that you liked to look at the city on the terrace. So I specially chose this place for you." Li Zhiqiang was nervous that his JingJing might not like it so he explained wanting to get a response from her.

If she didn’t like it, his brother was finished.
