Chapter 35

She couldn’t believe that the personality of someone like Li Luxian could be like this. Anyone would expect him to be a serious, cold-hearted man whose mere presence could chill one to the marrow. But Chen Feng perceived him as a playful, flirty person.

"By the way this date? Is it to assuage your father’s suspicion?"

"My wife is wise"

"Stop calling me wife"

"Sure wife"

"..."

"I’ll take you out discreetly. We can’t let the whole world know of us for now because there will be a lot of people wanting to hurt you. My father men would be following us for sure"

"Are you sure your father will not do anything against us?"

"He might object in the beginning but once we make him realize that we are deeply in love with each other, he’ll support us"

"And how will we make him realize that we are deeply in love?"

"By putting a good act"

"By a good act, Mr. Li means...?"

"By acting intimately while his men followed us and of course giving my wife a lot of kisses"

That text was followed by a lot of red hearts and a kissing emoji. Chen Feng’s face burned and she threw away her phone as if it was a hot iron rod.

Hot! She was so hot! She fanned her with her hands.

The idea of kissing that handsome person made her heart jolt. Weren’t two kisses already enough? Did he think it was easy to handle a kiss from him?

She was sure that tomorrow he was going to t*****e her a lot.

Now she was going to die of embarrassment.

- Cant we not invite her already? She is so cute

- Cant we not invite her already? She is so cute

- Can't we not invite her already? She is so cute

"Are you sure it is not all an act?", Li Yuhan said in a doleful tune. He looked like a bullied kitten.

His Million of Yuans were at stake!

"Look at his eyes. He looks deep in love", Li Shanguan said in her sweet dreamy voice looking at her son on the laptop screen. The way he looked at that girl, Li Shanguan knew it was the girl that was bound to be her daughter-in-law. "Can’t we invite her already? She is so cute"

"Don’t be hasty Shanguan", Li Guang said scrutinizing that video, "That treacherous son of your might just be acting to get rid of his engagement"

"It doesn’t seem like acting to me", Li Shanguan rebutted.

"Then you underestimate your son Shanguan"

"I too don’t think so that it is acting", Li Qiang- Li Yuhan and Li Luxian cousin - Li Guang nephew- said, "If that girl had the ability to stay in a diameter of one meter around Li Luxian for three minutes, I would declare that she is made by heavens to be his wife"

Li Luxian could never tolerate a female presence. Li Qiang was aware of this fact. So if he could tolerate that girl for just three minutes then she was the most eligible candidate in the whole world to marry Li Luxian.

"You liar!", Li Yuhan glared at Li Quang, "You are just saying it so that you can loot my money!"

Li Quang smirked.

"Hey look at the video yourself. Your brother kissed her. Can you name any single female he had initiated a talk with, let alone kissed since high school?"

Li Yuhan was at a loss of words. What his cousin said was true.

"Just wait! I’ll only lose the bet if he marries her. And brother Li said that the one who married was immature"

"But he didn’t say that he won’t be marrying anyone", Li Quang smirked, teasingly.

Li Yuhan felt a faint ache in his heart. There was no way to save his money now.

Farewell, his trip to Japan.

Farewell, his dreams to ride in the latest La Ferrari.

Farewell, all his dreams to eat in those five-star restaurants.

"Why is her face not clear?", Li Quang said staring at the video. It was taken from a distance so that Li Luxian wouldn’t get suspicious and it was a blur with only the girl’s back visible. Her face was not clear.

He didn’t know why, he felt like he had seen her before somewhere. But he couldn’t put a finger on it. When he zoomed in, the picture was all blurred. Li Quang sat silently on the couch, placing the laptop on his lap and stared at the girl’s picture for quite some time and wrecked his brain to recall where he had seen her before.

"I want to meet her right now! She is so pretty!", Li Shanguan exclaimed, her eyes twinkling with affection for her daughter-in-law to be. She had always wished to get a daughter. But God bestowed her with only two good-for-nothing sons! And her that rascal son wouldn’t agree to get a wife so that she could realize her dream in the form of a daughter-in-law.

"Stop that Shanguan. You can’t even see her face and you are saying that she is pretty?", Li Guang reprimanded his wife.

His wife was always so gullible and over-excited. But Li Guang was aware of the plotting nature of his son, Li Luxian. In his eyes that was only a stunt to get rid of his fiancee. So Li Guang didn’t want his wife to get hurt after raising her hopes.

"I just know it that she is very beautiful. Our son choice can’t be wrong.", Li Shanguan exclaimed, not willing to give up her hopes that his son was finally going to settle down.

As Li Guang contemplated what to say next to reprimand his wife, Lei Jun, Li house butler, walked to them and informed them.

"Master Li, the elder of Wang family is here to discuss the engagement with young master Li"

"Make him sit in the guest room and serve him tea. I’ll come down and talk with him in a minute"

"What are you going to tell him?", Li Shanguan asked anxiously.

"I’ll try to delay this matter for now"

"Li Guang just annual the engagement with Wang Huailing already. Our son is..."

"No", Li Guang cut her mid-speech, "We will have to wait and see it for ourselves for a few days. If that scheming bastard for a son has really found a girl then we will annul the marriage with Wang family. But if he is only acting to get rid of his engagement then we can not waste an important ally like Wang family. The marriage connection with them can bring out so much profit to our empire. If the engagement is broken for no reason, we are going to suffer a major loss"

"If this turns out to be a real relation", Li Quang who was leaning back against the couch, "That it is sure going to be by the looks of it", he had a sly smile, "Then it is going to bring a lot of damage to us in business if Wang family takes a grudge against us"

- Then we have just a week time to act

- Then we have just a week time to act

- Then we have just a week time to act

A woman clad in a strapless, tight red minidress was sitting in a car. She had a slender physique, sharp features, a slim waist, and fine curves. A dark lipstick colored her plump lips red. One could smell expensive perfume emanating from her that numb and intoxicated someone stepping in her vicinity.

The door of the car was left opened slightly as that lady impatiently waited for someone.

"Ms. Wang", a woman dressed in a black office suit said formally as she walked stiffly and hurriedly to her securing a tablet in her hands.

"What is it?", Wang Hualing asked curtly. She sounded bad-tempered.

The woman shuddered visibly. She was her manager, Xi Melian. The news she was about to give to Wang Huailing was not a nice one. Xi Melian was sure that Wang Hualing would get severely angry and in the given situation when there was no one around, Xi Melian was the sure target for her to take out her frustration.

"It is-It is....", Xi Melian stammered, unsure how to tell the news to her mistress.

"Just show me already", Wang Huailing snapped at Melian and snatched the tablet.

Her eyes widened once they landed on the photo. A woman in a red dress was kissing Li Luxian.

"What the f**k is this?", Wang Huailing shouted; furious, and threw away the tablet. It hit the floor and smashed into pieces. "H-How did it happen? When did it happen!?!?!?"

She was getting crazy with anger.

"Ms. W-Wang the scandal been out for two days n-now and I-I was..."

"Two days!", Wang Hualing screamed, "And you are telling me now? How dare you woman! Is this what I pay you for?"

Xi Melian gulped as she selected her next words carefully.

"I have been trying to contact you desperately but you had been out of reach"

Wang Huaiing closed her eyes and leaned against the seat. She took deep breaths to control her anger and rubbed her temple.

"What did Li family say on this matter?", Wang Huailing asked in a cold tone.

This was the part where things were going to turn worse. Xi Melian realized that today was the unluckiest day of her life. She wanted to cry.

"Ms. Wang M-Mr Li has annulled the engagement officially this morning"

Wang Hualing’s eyes opened.

"What did you say?"

"M-Mr Li said that the woman in the scandal was his true love and he intended to marry her"

Xi Melian closed her eyes, waiting to hear an explosion or two from her mistress. But...

No noise came.

Her mistress strangely maintained her silence after receiving that tragic news. Xi Melian was surprised. She had expected her mistress to go into hysteria and possibly hit her after getting this news.

Her mistress loved Li Luxian dearly. Ever since she was young, she had dreamed of marrying him. She had worked so much to become an ideal woman in his eyes. After years of struggle, her mistress was finally successful in making both families agree to an engagement.

But now this happened.

"He is lying", Wang Huailing said calmly with a confident smile.

"Y-Yes mistress?"

"That girl is not his love. I know Li Luxian and no one knows him better than me. And I’ve never seen him with this girl before"

"Then that means..."

"He is doing it to get rid of this engagement"
