《The Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO》


 Chapter 1 - Car Accident Scene

    <h4>Chapter 1 - Car ident Scene</h4>


    A youngdy could be seen riding a scooter on the roads,te in the evening. She had a pink helmet over her head for protection.


    The road was quiet, but she was not scared even though she found it somehow off. This particr road was not always busy around 07:00 PM, but some cars still pass by around that time.


    As she rode her scooter, she could see a ring light from the vehicle ahead. She could tell the vehicle had stopped in the middle of the road. But because of the lights from the heamps, she couldn''t see things clearly.


    But as she approached the car to some close distance, she almost screened in shock.


    She discovered that she has met with a hit and run incident.


    The bo of the car she was staring at, was damaged beyond repair. The windscreen of the car was shattered. And in the driver seat, she saw a grey-haired man with his face down on the steering.


    She was so scared as she got down from her scooter and approached the damaged vehicle.


    She almost screened out of shock when she stepped on the broken sses at the scene.


    When she got to the driver''s side, she discovered the Old Man still had his eyes opened, and was bleeding from his head. And he was too weak to say anything...


    He managed to nce at the young Lady and made light movements with his fingers.


    The youngdy had her mouth covered with her hands as she stared at the old man in shock. Just now when the Old Man looked at her with his bloodied face, he looked scary.


    Nowing back to her senses, the youngdy muttered in an incoherent tone as she took out her phone from the pocket of her jacket.


    "That''s riiiiight... I..I need to...to call the Ambu..nce."


    She input a short string of numbers and dialed it.


    She was so scared while dialing the number, and she could feel chills in her spine.


    After reporting the emergency and giving out the location, the youngdy closed her cellphone and returned it into her pocket before rushing back to the car.


    Seeing that the Old Man''s eyes were still open, she waved her hands in his view as she called out to him with a frantic facial expression on her face.


    "Hello, Sir! Are you Okay? Can you hear me?." She asked in a scared and worried tone.


    The Old Man stared at her, but his vision was blurry, and he was slowly losing strength. But to show that he heard her voice, even though it was faint, he moved his fingers.


    From what the Old Man could make out from her looks, he could tell that she was a youngdy in her early twenties.


    "Thank Goodness!." The youngdy said, slightly relieved.


    "My name is Jia Li, and I have called the ambnce ????, they will be here in five minutes. Please hold on." Jia Li said to him in a strong tone.


    Even though she was scared out of her wits, she still needed to keep the man conscious till the Ambnce arrived.


    At least, growing up with her mother-nurse and being at the local hospital most times, has taught her a lot of things.


    The Old Man was quite strong to still be conscious after the ident that happened over ten minutes ago.


    I mean, considering how serious the ident was, and his age, he should have passed out on the spot, or minutes ago. But he was still conscious, even though he was currently struggling to stay conscious to await the medics.


    A minuteter as Jia Li was keeping the Old Manpany so he wouldn''t fall asleep before the medics arrived, she heard the sound of the Ambnce, and she smiled with hope in her eyes.


    "Sir, the Ambnce is here!." Jia Li announced the Old Man as her eyes radiated joy.


    The Old Man who was almost slipping into the realm of unconsciousness, reacted when he saw her actions of saying something and pointing in another direction where he saw the iing ambnce.


    Right in this state, the Old Man couldn''t hear any sounds, as his senses were slowly fading away.


    He couldn''t even hear the hurried footsteps of the medics as they arrived before him, but he could still see their blurry images as they checked him out before moving him to the Ambnce.


    As they were busy carrying the man out, a brown leather wallet fell out from his back pocket. Jia Li saw the wallet and picked it up before chasing after them.


    "Are you his Family Member?." One of the Medics asked her as the othersid the Old Man down inside the Ambnce.


    "No..." Jia Li answered softly.


    Seeing how worried she was about the ident victim, one of the medics who was a female said to them.


    "Allow her to join us."


    With that, Jia Li was allowed into the Ambnce. But then, she nced at her scooter and the scene.


    "Don''t worry, the Police will keep your scooter safe, and they wille to the hospital to get a statement from you." The Female Medic said to her as one of them ced an Oxygen Mask on the Old Man.


    Looking at the old Man, Jia Li was a bit scared.


    ''It seems like he not only got a head injury.'' Jia Li said to herself as she took a good look at the old man while the medics got to work.


    Then, her sight moved outside the vehicle, and she saw the police vehicles approaching the ident scene.


    Jia Li felt pity for the Old Man, because she lost her grandfather in a hit and run ident few years ago. That incident left a scar in her heart, because she was quiet close to her Old man.


    He was hit by a drunken driver in the evening when he was out for a stroll.


    Her old Man died, but the drunken driver survived... Irony of Life.

 Chapter 2 - The Old Mans Identity

    <h4>Chapter 2 - The Old Man''s Identity</h4>


    When they got to the hospital, the Old Man was rushed to the theater immediately, while Jia Li sat in the corridor to wait.


    She looked worried as she nced at the closed doors of the theater. But there was nothing she could rather than sit, pray, hope, and wait patiently.


    She almost felt like cursing the families of the old man for allowing him to drive himself by that time of the day.


    Something kicked in Jia Li''s mind as she thought about the Old Man''s family.


    How will I contact his family?


    Are they looking for him already?


    With all these thoughtsing forth like the waves from the sea, she suddenly remembered that she picked a wallet from the ground at the scene of the ident.


    She checked her pocket for it, but she found her cell phone instead. Then she checked the other pocket and found it.


    She didn''t know if what she was about to do was right, searching someone else''s property without permission, and she was not even the police.


    But considering the situation, she had to see if there was a way to reach the Old Man''s family in case they were worried sick and looking for at the moment.


    Opening the brown leather wallet, she found an ID card, which belongs to the man. She took it out and checked for the details, and discovered that it was a resident Identity Card, which means she might not be able to find any contact that might be to his rtion.


    Taking a careful look at the details of his ID Card, she discovered that the man was surnamed Fu, and there was a ''Gen.'' before his surname, ''Fu''. And the passport on the ID she discovered he was putting on a military uniform.


    ''Is he a soldier?.'' Jia Li thought before going to the next details and discovered his resident address, so she smiled, thinking that she would find answers soon. But she was disappointed when she saw the address written on the ID.


    The resident address was situated in City X, which was a very far city from the countryside/vige they were currently at. And since she was born, she has never heard the name of that address before.


    Jia Li was a bit disappointed, because the address was so far away, and wasn''t something she could reach even if she tried.


    "But What is this grandfather doing here alone when he has a house in such a nice city?." Jia Li wondered as she put the ID card back into her pocket.


    While sitting there and waiting, she forgot to call home to inform her father she would be homete because of her encounter.


    As she was sitting there with her gaze locked on the door. She heard rushed approaching footsteps, so she looked over and so a familiar figure rushing to her side.


    "Mum?." She called out in a soft tone.


    "Jia Li, are you hurt?." The older woman in a nurse uniform asked as she checked her daughter out with a worried look on her face.


    "Mum, I''m fine!." Jia Li assured her mother as she was starting to get dizzy from all the shaking.


    "Ah! You scared me to death. But are you sure you are okay?." The woman asked again to be sure. She still looked worried.


    "Yes Mum, I''m fine. It''s the grandfather I came in with that is injured. He is in the theater now." Jia Li exined as she pointed at the tightly shut doors of the operation room.


    "What happened, howe you are with an injured grandfather?." The woman asked with a sharp look as she gazed at her daughter.


    Jia Li was a bit scared exining the to her because she took a big risk. But it was not like saying the truth would get her killed. So she went all out and exined everything to her.


    "You...you. What if you got in trouble? Do you know the kind of situation you would have gotten yourself into, in a hit and run ident?." The woman asked as she hit her back.


    "Ah! Mum! I was only trying to save a life!." Jia Li cried out as she moved away from her mother''s side.


    "You were trying to save a life when you would have gotten our family in trouble?." The woman asked angrily.


    "But you thought me that. You said that saving lives was important and should be a daily act." Jia Li reminded her.


    Her mother was speechless.


    Her daughter''s reminder was an absolute truth. If she was the one in that situation, she would have saved the old man without thinking twice, because it was in her nature.


    But admonishing her child, was because she was worried about her safety.


    "Next time, don''t just rush to help people in this type of situation. You have to be careful, and call the police." She reminded her after sitting on the bench.


    "Yes, Mum!. But mum, how did you know I was here?." Jia Li asked, after not recalling dialing her number.


    "Nurse Li informed me she saw youe in with the Ambnce, and I was so scared out of my wits thinking something might have happened to you. But it''s good that you are okay." Her mother said to her.


    "Oh! Mum, I was supposed to make dinner for Dad, but I was caught up with something." Jia Li said with a smile.


    Her mother red at her. "I will make the call." She said to her before stepping out to make the call.


    As she stepped out, some people in uniform came to find Jia Li, they were the police people in the district.


    "Hello, Miss! We are the..." One of the policemen greeted Jia Li, introduced himself and his colleagues, before going down to business.


    They came to get a statement from Jia Li about the hit and run incident the Old Mr. Fu was involved in.


    Just as Jia Li was about to respond, her mother came back and blocked her from the view of the policemen in a protective manner.


    She introduced herself to them as a nurse in the hospital, and as Jia Li''s mother.

 Chapter 3 - "Soon, He Will Be Caught"

    <h4>Chapter 3 - "Soon, He Will Be Caught"</h4>


    Just as Jia Li was about to respond, her mother came back and blocked her from the view of the policemen in a protective manner.


    She introduced herself to them as a nurse in the hospital, and as Jia Li''s mother.


    "Mrs. Qin we are from the district. We came to get a statement from Miss. Qin, we mean no harm." One of the policemen said to her.


    Only then did Mrs. Qin rx.


    Jia Li recounted the incident on how she met the injured Old Man.


    "The victim''s identity is special. He must havee from a military family, or he is a retired military officer." The policeman said to them.


    In Old Mr. Fu''s Mercedes Benz, the police officers found a military chain and his cell phone which was damaged in the crash. So they won''t be able to make calls to reach his family.


    "Officer is there a way to contact his family, at least to inform them of his condition?." Mrs. Qin asked.


    "His phone was damaged in the crash, and there is nothing to trace his family with till we fix the cell phone. The reporters could help his family reach us, through the news channels and radio stations." The policeman said.


    "Officer, this belongs to the Old Man." Jia Li said as she took the leather wallet out from her bag and passed it to them.


    "How did you get it?." The policeman asked as the other two shifted close to him, so they could also take a look at the content of the wallet.


    "It fell out from the back pocket of the Grandfather." Jia Li reported as the office opened the wallet and took out the ID card in it.


    Seeing the name on the ID, the policeman looked shocked before passing the ID to his colleagues.


    Having noticed the sudden change in their facial expressions, Jia Li looked worried as she asked, "Is something wrong?."


    "Nothing is wrong. But there is good news. We can get to General Fu''s family this night or tomorrow morning." The head policeman reported with a brightened facial expression.


    "Oh! This is good news. At least the Grandfather will not have to be pitiful." Jia Li said happily.


    "Mrs. Qin, we have to leave now to report to the higher-ups. But officer Su will be here for security reasons." The head Officer said as he pointed at the younger colleague.


    Mrs. Qin nodded at them before they left.


    Officer Su stood at the side with his gaze on the theater room.


    "Jia Li, I have to leave now. If you need anything,e to me immediately." Mrs. Qin said to her daughter before turning to look at Officer Su.


    On a normal, Mrs. Qin would have sent her daughter home after, but she knew she wouldn''t listen to her because she was worried about the old man, so she let her be.


    After her mother left, Jia Li took her phone out to check the time. She sighed and put her phone back inside her pocket as she nced at the tightly shut doors.


    Thirty minutester, Old Mr. Fu was wheeled out of the theater and Jia Li rushed to his side and called out to him...


    "Grandfather!." She looked worried as she called out to him, but his eyes were tightly shut.


    "Doctor, how is he?." Office Su asked the doctor after ncing at the old man.


    "He is fine now but will be conscious for a few hours. He had a slight concussion and injuries on some parts of his bodies which requires stitches. But the Old man is quite strong for people of his age." The doctor said as they continued to wheel the old man till they got to award.


    "Miss, are you his family member?." The doctor asked Jia Li.


    "You can take me as one." Jia Li replied with her gaze on the old Man.


    No matter how strong the doctor said he was, Jia Li didn''t believe it. She has always had a soft spot for aged people because she once had one.


    She felt that Old Mr. Fu was pitiful, and must have gone through serious pains during the car ident.


    She wished the perpetrator would be caught and punished by thew. Now thinking of that aspect, she turned to ask the officer...


    "Officer Su has the culprit been caught?."


    "Not yet. But soon, he will be caught." Officer Su replied.


    "Dr, Mr. Fu has a special identity, please we would need you to take care of him." Officer Su, said to the doctor.


    The doctor gazed at the police after and thought for a while.


    He was thinking if the patient was a witness to a crime, and as if he knew what he was thinking, Officer Su, cleared the air immediately.


    "Old Mr. Fu is a retired soldier, and he was involved in a hit and run ident, so his identity is a little special."


    Officer Fu did not divulge the whole truth. He didn''t disclose to the doctor that Old Mr. Fu was in fact a retired General in the army and not just a soldier.


    "I see. We will do our best to take care of him." The doctor replied.


    "Thank you!." Officer Su said.


    "It''s our job!." The doctor replied.


    The doctor took onest look at Old Fu before leaving the ward.


    There were other patients in the ward that were recovering.


    "Miss, you are sure you don''t want to go home, I will stay here to watch over him if you are worried." Officer Su said to Jia Li now they were left alone.


    Jia Li nced at the Old Man before taking a sit.


    "Don''t worry officer, I will look after this Grandfather till his ownerse for him." Jia Li promised.


    Officer Su sighed before saying to her, "If there is anything, I''m right outside this door."


    And with that, he disappeared.


    Jia Li went close to Old Mr. Fu''s bed. Although the man was sleeping peacefully, she still pitied him because he had gone through a lot.


    "Grandfather don''t worry, your family will find you soon."

 Chapter 4 - Finally Regained Consciousness

    <h4>Chapter 4 - Finally Regained Consciousness</h4>


    Jia Li spent the night looking after the old man. The next morning, he was moved to the only private room the local hospital had.


    As ofst night, the private room was still upied, and the patient there was only discharged this morning.


    Jia Li cleaned the Old man''s face and hands. And when the doctor and the nurse came to check up on him, she asked...


    "Doctor, why is he not awake yet?."


    "He will wake up soon, give him a few hours. His vitals are ok. You look so worried about him, are you his granddaughter?." The doctor asked.


    "I''m not. But I can still be referred to as his granddaughter in case you need that to fill his medical records." Jia Li replied.


    "There is no need for that. If he wakes up, send someone to inform us." The doctor said before walking away with the nurse.


    "Doctor, how is he?." Officer Su who was waiting outside the door asked immediately the doctor stepped out.


    "His vitals are normal, but he is still unconscious. He should wake up soon." The doctor said to him.


    "Okay. I will just go home to change my clothes, I will be back." Officer Su said to him.


    The doctor nodded before finally walking away.


    Officer Su knocked on the door to the Old Man''s room before stepping in.


    "Good morning, Officer Su." Jia Li greeted the officer as gave him a respectful bow.


    "Good morning Miss Qin. I''m leaving for the station, I will be back shortly." Officer Su said to her.


    "Safe trip!." Jia Li said to him.


    After Officer Su left, Mrs. Qin appeared with two lunch boxes.


    "Ah! Mum, you came at the right time, I''m so hungry." Jia Li said as she walked up to her mother.


    "I just knew it!." Mrs. Qin said as she withheld the lunch boxes from her.


    "You need to brush your teeth first before you eat. I also brought a change of clothes for you. Go and wash up!." Mrs. Qin said to her as she pointed the bag to her.


    "Thank you, Mum!." Jia Li replied with a smile as she took the bag and walked out of the room.


    Mrs. Qin set the lunch packs on the table before going to the Old Man''s side to take a look at him.


    As a nurse, she checked him to make sure he was okay.


    Seeing that everything was fine, she rxed.


    Ten minutester, Jia Li returned to the room. She rushed back to the room in a hurry, thinking the old man would have woken up already. But to her disappointment, he was still unconscious by the time he returned.


    "Don''t be disappointed, he will wake up soon. Come and eat." Mrs. Qin said as she handed the chopsticks to her


    "I''m not hungry." Jia Li said with a deep frown on her face. But at the moment she rejected to eat, her stomach growled.


    Her mother just stared at her wordlessly, waiting for her next action.


    "I think I''m hungry." Jia Li said sheepishly.


    She had wanted to eat when the Old man awakened, but it''s bad that she is too hungry at the moment, because she didn''t eat anythingst night.


    "Take this one." Mrs. Qin said as she passed one lunch box to her.


    "Thank you!." Jia Li said as she took the lunch box and went to sit on the other side of the room.


    As she ate her food, she asked her mother...


    "Mum, you had a night shift which ended this morning, when did you return home to make food for Grandpa Fu and me?."


    "I left immediately my shift ended. I cooked some food, and freshened up beforeing back." Mrs. Qin replied as she sat down.


    "Mum, you see where I learned the act of service from? You walked all night and returned to make food. And see where you are now, you haven''t gotten any rest." Jia Li said after she swallowed the food in her mouth.


    "I knew you wouldn''t want to leave Mr. Fu''s side, so I had to prepare the food and bring it to you. Now don''t worry about me and eat your food. You are not allowed to talk while eating." Mrs. Qin said to her.


    "Okay, mum!." Jia Li replied and continued with her food.


    Unknown to them, Old Mr. Fu was conscious already, but still had his eyes closed. He wanted to find out where he was without anyone knowing he was awake, just in case he was in a danger zone.


    Old Mr. Fu overheard the conversation between the mother and daughter and smiled to himself.


    "Mum, what about the hospital bills?." Jia Li asked her mother as she suddenly remembered it.


    Mrs. Qin nced at her before sighing. "We are hoping Mr. Fu''s family wille and settle the rest. I already deposited some money this morning from your father''s savings, but it''s still not enough."


    "At least Dad has tried." Jia Li said as she rounded up with her food.


    ''Silly girl. That was the money Your father saved up for your college fees.'' Mrs. Qin said to herself.


    Slowly, Old Mr. Fu opened his eyes and coughed to get the attention of the mother and daughter.


    "Grandfather, you are awake?." Jia Li asked in shock as she immediately rushed to his side when she recovered.


    The te she used in eating were dumped on the floor.


    Mrs. Qin left where she was sitting and rushed to the Old man''s side.


    After his eyes had adjusted to the lightening in the room, Old Mr. Fu finally had a good look at the familiar face he remembered from the ident scene. The same girl that saved his life.


    Not receiving a reply from him, Jia Li turned to ask her mother with a worried look on her face.


    "Mum, please check on him. Is he okay?."


    "I am fine." Old Mr. Fu interrupted in a hoarse voice.


    Mrs. Qin immediately poured a ss of room temperature water from the bottle of sk she brought from her home.


    She passed the cup to Jia Li before helping the old man up.

 Chapter 5 - Fu Hua And Alix Feng

    <h4>Chapter 5 - Fu Hua And Alix Feng</h4>


    Mrs. Qin immediately poured a ss of room temperature water from the bottle of sk she brought from her home.


    She passed the cup to Jia Li before helping the old man up.


    "Sir, are you okay?." Mrs. Qin asked as she put a pillow on his back to support him.


    Old Mr. Fu nodded in response before the water was passed to him.


    Jia Li wanted to help him out thinking he didn''t have strength in his arms, but he surprised her by drinking the ss of water without help.


    "Jia Li, get the doctor." Mrs. Qin instructed as she took the empty ss from Old Mr. Fu.


    Jia Li rushed out immediately to call the doctor.


    A few Minutes Later...


    "Mr. Fu, can you remember what happened to you yesterday evening?." The doctor asked after checking the old man.


    Old Mr. Fu sighed before starting to reply. "I was involved in an ident. A big truck hit my car and fled almost instantly."


    "Do you remember the color of the truck?." The doctor asked.


    "Red." The old man replied.


    The doctor heaved a sigh and couldn''t continue with the question since he wasn''t a policeman undertaking an investigation task.


    "Does your body hurt anywhere?." The doctor asked.


    "Yes. My head still hurts, and my legs and arms hurt as well." Old Mr. Fu replied.


    He was speaking like somebody who wasn''t going through pains.


    "You have to endure the pains, for now, another pain relief will be added to your drip soon." The doctor said while scribbling something on his book.


    "Mr. Fu, you can eat something now." After saying this piece to the old man, he turned to Mrs. Qin to say, "Nurse Qin, the dishes should be light."


    And with that, the doctor strode out of the room.


    Mrs. Qin has been a nurse for more than half her life, so of course, she knew the kind of food to bring to a patient undergoing recovery.


    "Nurse Qin?." Old Mr. Fu called out.


    "Yes, Mr. Fu." Mrs. Qin answered as she set the food close to him.


    "Is she your daughter?." He asked, referring to Jia Li.


    "Yes." Mrs. Qin replied.


    Jia Li became enthusiastic as she introduced herself to the Old man.


    "Grandfather, I am Jia Li."


    "I know. The youngdy that saved my life." Old Mr. Fu replied with a smile on his face.


    "You remembered?." Jia Li asked in shock.


    "Yes, I do. How could I forget your worried look on your face when I was about passing out?." Old Mr. Fu asked.


    "Oh!." Jia Li responded absentmindedly.


    She lifted the te of soup her mother kept for the Old man and picked up a spoon as she tried to feed him.


    But could the retired General allow himself to be fed by someone else? He rejected her goodwill.


    "Thank you, Miss Jia Li, but I can help myself." Old Mr. Fu said before taking the te of soup from her.


    Initially, she pitied the old man, but now, she didn''t. This Old man is quite strong.


    When Old Mr. Fu finished eating, Officer Su walked in and introduced himself.


    He saluted Old Mr. Fu and addressed him as ''General Fu'', but the Old Man waved the greetings.


    Officer Su seemed to have something to say, but he didn''t want Jia Li and her mother to hear the conversation, so his face looked a bit ufortable.


    Old Mr. Fu could read facial expressions and bodynguage, but he was not in the least bothered about what Officer Su wanted to say.


    "Officer Su, out with what you want to say. This Old man wants to rest."


    Officer Su apologized before going ahead to say that he wanted.


    ..."General we managed to contact your family without exposing your location to the media. they will be here in at least two hours."


    "You should have confirmed from me if I wanted them here." The Old man said beforeying on the bed with his eyes closed.


    Jia Li looked surprised. ''The Old Man didn''t want his family to find him?.''


    Officer Su apologized to him before leaving, seeing that he didn''t want to speak anymore.


    Mrs. Qin was worried, thinking that he wasn''t on good terms with his family.


    But when the mother and daughter pair saw his family and the entrance they made, only then did they understand the reason the Old Man didn''t want them there.


    Old Mr. Fu dozed off once his head hit the pillow. The drug, the nurse put in his new drip was starting to take effect.


    Somewhere in X city, a young man surnamed Fu was sitting in his wide elegant Office space when his phone rang. But there was a beauty sitting in front of him with a smile on her face.


    They were discussing where to have their date for the evening when the call came in.


    "It''s my father." Fu Hua said to the beautiful young woman in front of him.


    "Go ahead." The woman said in a calm demeanor. Everything that radiated from her speaks elegance.


    Fu Hua answered his father''s call. From the beginning to the end of the conversation, no emotion was found on his face.


    "Alix, I''m sorry, but our date tonight has to be canceled." Fu Hua said to the woman in front of him.


    "Why? Did something happen at home?." Alix Feng asked with worryced in her tone.


    Fu Hua massaged his temples with his fingers as he exined.


    "My grandfather went missing two days ago, so we traced his location to the countryside. When he contacted us, he said not to disturb him that he wanted to be by himself, so we let him be. Now, I just learned from my father he was involved in a hit and run ident yesterday, and is currently hospitalized. Now my father wants us to go and bring him back."


    Alix Feng looked surprised but not worried as she asked, "Why do you have to go to bring him back?."


    "Alix, you know my grandfather, he is stubborn and wouldn''t want toe back home. So my father wants Yingpei and I to go with him to bring him back." Fu Hua exined.

 Chapter 6 - A Trick To Bring The Old Man Back Home

    <h4>Chapter 6 - A Trick To Bring The Old Man Back Home</h4>


    "Alix, you know my grandfather, he is stubborn and wouldn''t want toe back home. So my father wants Yingpei and I to go with him to bring him back." Fu Hua exined.


    "I understand. When next am I seeing you?." Feng Alix asked with a peaceful expression on her face.


    "In two days at most. I just hope Grandfather doesn''t give us a hard time." Fu Hua said as he stood to his feet and picked a few important things from his work table.


    "So, am I going to get a hug?." Feng Alix asked with a smile on her face as she stood to her feet.


    The beautiful woman was almost as tall as Fu Hua. She had a nice figure with that air of elegance surrounding her.


    She looked to be a woman of good manners.


    Fu Hua stared at her before speaking up. "No PDA in my office, remember?."


    "Gosh!. Sometimes I wonder if I''m actually your girlfriend or some woman you just have fun with." Alix Feng said as she rolled her eyes at him.


    "Come on, you know I don''t mean it that way. This is my office space and everything that goes on here must be in order and about work." Fu Hua said, reminding her of his work ethic.


    "It''s fine, I get. I will see you when you get back." Alix Feng said as she picked up her phone and purse from the table before walking away.


    Fu Hua knew she wasn''t happy, but he hadn''t the time to chase after her. He had other important things to do. Once he gets back from the countryside, he will settle the matter with her.


    Fu Hua informed his Assistant about his unavability for a few days and also asked him to take care of some matters he can take care of, and the important ones that needed his attention, he would contact him through his Email.


    After rying some instructions to his assistant, he left the office building and went straight to his tinted ck car which cost several thousands of dors to get, and drove off.


    Feng Alix was still at the underground parking lot when Fu Hua drove off. She was in her red car and watched Fu Hua drive off.


    She looked pissed off that he didn''t chase after her, but she decided to be calm, because she understood him, and she knew where to get him.


    She was Alix Feng, one of the World''s top models, and the only woman that managed to get in the Cold Fu Hua''s heart. The only woman Fu Hua has ever fallen in love with.


    She was proud of that title because Fu Hua came from a very influential family. He was rich, handsome, smart, and sessful, the man of every woman''s dreams.


    But he was cold to others and only warmed to her.


    If he had 100% warmth and gave his family 20¨G warmth, 30% belonged only to her, and the rest could be settled between himself and his friends, but for the most part, going to himself alone.


    So, it could be said that she is the only woman The Cold Fu Hua has ever gotten together with, and that title has never been taken away from her, and she wouldn''t let go of it, never!


    Alix Feng didn''te from an influential family, she came from an average family. And because she was beautiful and smart when she was young, her mother pushed her into modeling so she could earn more money for the family.


    And that was how her modeling career began. She had her mother to thank you, for bringing her to her current level.


    Feeling better now, Alix Feng ignited the engine of her car and drove away.


    When Fu Hua got to the Fu Mansion, everybody was waiting for him.


    His father and brother were dressed and ready to depart. He picked a few clothes from his room before joining the others.


    "Father, have you spoken to grandfather''s doctor, he should go with us." Fu Yingpei suggested.


    "The more reason grandfather wouldn''t want to follow is back." Fu Hua replied.


    "Your Brother is right. The Old man is stubborn these days and needs to be handled with caution. Bringing his doctor over will only agitate him further." Mr. Fu replied.


    Mr. Fu was dressed in his military uniform. So he looked a bit too serious when he spoke.


    "Dad, don''t you think you are looking too serious In that costume?." Yingpei asked as he gave his father a scrutinizing gaze.


    Fu Hua nced at his foolish younger brother before quietly moving his gaze away.


    Mr. Fu felt disrespected by his younger son for calling his Uniform which orded him so much respect, a costume.


    He wanted to strangle him, but he hadn''t the time.


    "You brat! I will deal with youter!!." Mr. Fu threatened before leading the way out of the house.


    "Brother, did I say something wrong?." Yingpei whispered to his older brother.


    "You called father''s military uniform a costume? You sure want to die." Fu Hua replied.


    "Oh! I didn''t mean it that way." Yingpei replied as they both followed their father out.


    "That has been yournguage since you came back from Americast month." Fu Hua said, not surprised by his words.


    "Oh! I didn''t notice that. But why does Dad have to put it on when we are only going to bring grandfather home, is it necessary?." Yingpei asked.


    "It is very necessary. That uniform may be the reason Grandfather would agree toe back home with us." Fu Hua replied.


    "And why is that so?." Yingpei asked curiously.


    He wanted to know if there was a trick with that uniform.


    "You ask way too many questions." Fu Hua said to him, before going ahead to reply to him.


    "When grandfather sees that Uniform, he would have no choice but to follow us back home. He doesn''t like people knowing his true identity, and that''s the reason he appears less on the inte and the media. He likes living a simple life."

 Chapter 7 - "Call Me, Grandfather"

    7 "Call me, Grandfather"


    Old Mr. Fu was currently awake at this time. He was slowly getting better and the pain he felt was decreasing.


    Mrs. Qin was about to leave the hospital room when Kim Hyejin asked her mother to take good care of her dog since she was sick.


    Mrs. Qin looked like she was in a dilemma hearing her mention her dog.


    "Follow me outside, I have something to say to you." Mrs. Qin said to her before walking out the door with the bag she came with.


    Jia Li looked confused with her mother''s sudden change in facial looks. She turned to the Old man and smiled at him.


    "Grandfather Fu, I will be back."


    The Old man waved at her, and she left.


    Right outside the door to the hospital, Mrs. Qin sighed as she said to her.


    "I know you are not going to like this, but she is dead."


    Jia Li was left in a trance. She was yet to fully digest the shocking news her mother just delivered to her.


    "Mum...mum? What do you mean?." She asked, trying to wave the possibility of the Negative, happening.


    Mrs. Qin sighed before exining further. "Your dog is dead. She diedst night. She was old and too sick your Dad had to take her to the vet, but it was toote. I''m sorry."


    Tears streamed down Jia Li''s eyes. That dog was dear to her heart because it was her grandfather''s. Her grandfather owned the dog and used to take walks with it when he was alive. And when he died, she took over and started to care for it.


    Since her grandfather died, the dog easily fell sick, and she has been so careful with it.


    "Jia Li, don''t cry. You know the dog is too old and was bound to die soon." Mrs. Qin said as she ced her hand on her shoulder.


    The mother and daughter were of the same average height.


    "I know. But I didn''t expect her to leave without saying goodbye. I mean, I wanted to be with her in herst moments. She was the only living thing that reminded me of Grandfather." Jia Li said as she broke down in tears.


    Mrs. Qin could feel her daughter''s emotions. She knew how close she was to her Grandfather when he was alive. Now, his dog which she took care of every day of her life since his passing has passed away.


    She could tell the agony she was feeling at the moment, but she didn''t know how to console her. But she couldn''t bear to see her only child crying, so she embraced her while patting her back.


    "Li, it''s okay, everything will be alright. Your Dad felt so bad that he promised to get you another dog."


    "No, I don''t want another dog." Jia Li refused before letting go.


    "Fine, but stop crying. You don''t want to disturb the patient." Mrs. Qin said in a kind reminder.


    "Okay." Jia Li replied as she wiped tears.


    "Mum, has she been buried?." She asked.


    "Yes. Your Dad buried herst night." Mrs. Qin replied.


    Jia Li sniffed as shepletely wiped away her tears.


    "Go in, I will see youter. I need to rest before I resume my duties for today." Mrs. Qin said to her.


    "Bye Mum." Jia Li said before walking into the room.


    Seeing her go in, Mrs. Qin turned around to leave.


    When Jia Li came into the room, the old man''s gaze fell on her, and he noticed her red eyes.


    He could tell she had been crying.


    "Girl, what happened?." He asked in concern.


    Jia Li took a seat beside him before exining what transpired.


    From what she said, Old Mr. Fu got to understand how close she was to herte grandfather.


    "Did you like the dog so much?." He asked.


    "Yes. I have known her since she was a puppy. But it''s too bad she is gone already, and I didn''t even get to say goodbye." Jia Li said with regret in her tone.


    "Sorry about the loss of your dog. If you didn''t stay with mest night, you could have had an opportunity to say goodbye to her." Old Mr. Fu said withpassion.


    "No Grandfather Fu, don''t talk like that. I don''t regret saving your life instead of saying goodbye to my dog. Your life is more important." Jia Li rified to the Old Man immediately.


    She didn''t want him to misunderstand her.


    "I know. Now let''s move away to another topic, I don''t want you looking so gloomy, it makes you look ugly." Old Mr. Fu teased her.


    "Grandfather Fu, you said I''m ugly?." Jia Li asked with widened brows as she caressed her face with her fingers.


    "Did I say that?." Old Mr. Fu asked as he feigned ignorance.


    "Grandfather Fu, I am truly offended by your words. How can you say I''m ugly when I''m sad?." Jia Li asked with a frown on her face.


    She truly looked offended.


    "Are you angry?." Old Mr. Fu asked with a smile on his aged face.


    "Of course I am, but how do I dare to say it? You will have me locked up in the dungeon." Jia Li said as she looked away with furrowed brows.


    Old Mr. Fu chuckled softly. He was truly amused by Jia Li''s acts.


    ''I mean, how could she say she didn''t dare to say her true feelings when she already did?.''


    "Do I look scary to you?." Old Mr. Fu questioned.


    "You do not look scary, but who knows if you wouldn''t lock me up?." Jia Li said.


    Jia Li wasn''t so beautiful, and wouldn''t ever be amongst the World''s most beautiful women, but her average pretty looks sure stood out.


    Maybe if she was well taken care of when she was a child, her looks would surely have made those marks.


    "Girl, I am not so heartless as to lock up my savior in a dungeon. You are always free to air your views. And stop calling me GrandFather Fu, call me Grandfather." Old Mr. Fu said to her in a kind smile.

 Chapter 8 - ...Came To Take Him Back

    <h4>Chapter 8 - ...Came To Take Him Back</h4>


    "Girl, I am not so heartless as to lock up my savior in a dungeon. You are always free to air your views. And stop calling me GrandFather Fu, call me Grandfather." Old Mr. Fu said to her in a kind smile.


    "I can call you Grandfather?." Jia Li asked with raised brows.


    "Yes. And don''t mind what I said earlier, you are pretty." Grandfather replied.


    Jia Li smiled sheepishly as she said a word of thanks to him.


    Grandfather Fu smiled as well before further asking to know her level of education, and it turned out Jia Li was in her second year in college.


    She was currently studying fashion and designing.


    "That''s a good course, and it''s a little expensive." Grandfather Fumented. There was a hidden concern in his tone.


    Jia Li heaved a sigh as she became sad. "Yes it is a good course, but it is very expensive."


    Grandfather Fu saw she was sad and guessed her parents might be struggling to pay her fees even if she wasn''t attending a good college.


    "Will you like to marry now?." Grandfather Fu asked her all of a sudden, at the same time, changing the topic.


    Jia Li almost choked on her saliva. She nced at the Old man with shock on her face.


    Grandfather Fu still had his gaze on her, meaning he was still waiting to hear a response from her.


    Jia Li could feel her cheeks heating up, so she covered them up with her hands.


    "I have never thought about that." Jia Li replied before standing to her feet and walking towards the door.


    "Where are going to?." Grandfather Fu asked with a kind smile on his face.


    Jia Li heaved a sigh before turning to face him.


    "Grandfather, you tease me a lot. Well, I''m a bit tasty so I''m going to look for water."


    "There is water over there." Grandfather Fu replied as he pointed at the sk.


    "It belongs to you." Jia Li replied before turning to walk out of the room.


    She was feeling so hot to stay with Grandfather Fu. She was wondering if she offended him in any way for him to get back at her by teasing her.


    Just as she released the door handle and looked up, she saw an entourage closely approaching her. Some of them were in army uniforms, so she hurriedly rushed back inside the room.


    She wanted to bolt the door, but she couldn''t find one.


    Seeing her she came inside hurriedly, Grandfather Fu was worried as he asked, "Girl, why do you look scared, it''s somebody chasing after you?."


    Jia Li finally gave up on finding the bolt and turned to reply to the old man.


    "Grandfather, some people in the army uniform are here."


    "Oh! They are here, so fast." Grandfather Fu said as his facial expression changed to that of indifference.


    He didn''t look surprised at all. He looked as if he was expecting them.


    Jia Li was surprised with the look of indifference on his face. But one thing she was sure of, is that the Old Man was expecting them, so she asked, "Grandfather who are they?."


    "You will see." Grandfather Fu replied, and just then, three knocks came on the door, and Jia Li quickly shifted away from the door.


    The knock was heavy but wasn''t too loud.


    "Father, it''s Fu Lei." A mature male voice said from outside the door.


    Jia Li and Grandfather Fu exchanged nces.


    "That''s my son. Come and sit beside me." Grandfather Fu whispered to her, and Jia Li quickly went to sit beside him, in her initial position.


    "Father, I''ming in." Fu Lei said after he knocked for the second time, but he was interrupted by Grandfather Fu''s voice.


    "Come in!." Grandfather Fu replied in amanding tone.


    With his approval, the entourage Jia Li was talking about, walked in.


    The man who walked in first was a middle-aged man in an army uniform, and he shared simr features with the old man.


    Amongst the men in army uniforms, only two were dressed in an English style and they were the youngest.


    The other three men that immediately followed behind Fu Lei, were in army uniform.


    The men in uniform, offered a military salute, while the young men in English-styled dresses, offered a bow.


    Jia Li could feel a restriction in her airflow as the aura of the men that walked in, were too strong for a mere girl like her that grew up in the countryside.


    "What is the meaning of all these taunts you are pulling?." Grandfather Fu asked. He didn''t look happy to see them.


    "We will wait outside." The three men said to Fu Lei in a low tone after exchanging nces. And with that, they saluted the Old Man before leaving the room.


    Jia Li could see that only three men remained in the room, but she didn''t dare to look at them.


    At this point, Jia Li stood up from the sit and offered it to Fu Lei, but he waved his hand, rejecting her offer, so she sat back down on the seat with an awkward expression on her face.


    "Father, we came to bring you back." Fu Lei said, going straight to the point.


    "Hmmm ????. Who is that girl?." Yingpei whispered to Fu Hua with his gaze on Jia Li.


    "Why don''t you ask her?." Fu Hua whispered back to him.


    Yingpei looked annoyed at his Older brother''s reply, but he couldn''t me him. It was his fault for asking a stupid question.


    Fu Hua didn''t spare Jia Li a nce, as his gaze remained on his grandfather.


    "Did you ask how I''m doing, and if I was recovering properly? You just went straight to telling me you came to take me back. You are so unfilial." The Old Man said in an annoyed tone as he red at his son.


    Fu Lei sighed before going ahead to ask how his Old Man was doing.


    "You tell me, how do you think I''m doing?." The Old Man retorted.

 Chapter 9 - One Is Quiet And The Other Is Playful

    <h4>Chapter 9 - One Is Quiet And The Other Is yful</h4>


    Fu Lei sighed before going ahead to ask how his Old Man was doing.


    "You tell me, how do you think I''m doing?." The Old Man retorted.


    "Father, I can see you are recovering quickly. But we still need to take you to the City for proper recuperation." Fu Lei insisted.


    He could see how energetic the Old man was, so he insisted on himing to the city for a full body checkup.


    "If that is what you came for, just leave immediately." The Old man was sitting up, quietlyid down on his bed, and shut his eyes.


    It was obvious he wasn''t even ready to take a step out from the hospital room.


    Fu Hua knew the matter hade to a dead-end, so decided to intervene by taking a step forward.


    "Grandfather, it''s Fu Hua. How is your health?." Fu Hua asked, but his tone seemed awkward like he wasn''t used to caring about other people or asking about their well-being.


    "Did youe to force me back to the city like your father? Then go away, I''m not interested." Grandfather Fu rejected him without opening his eyes.


    "No Grandfather, we came to see how you are recovering. Nobody is forcing you to go back home." Fu Hua hurriedly exined.


    "Yes, Grandfather. Who would dare to force the Great Militant?." YingPei said with an exaggerated look on his face.


    Grandfather Fu opened his eyes to nce at his Grandsons before turning to look at their father.


    "Fu Lei, go back home, I will be fine here. Go back and take care of your wife before she causes trouble. I don''t know why you dragged everybody out with you."


    "Father, I will do as you said. I will be waiting for you back home." Fu Lei said before saluting.


    "Take those people with you, I don''t want any disturbance." Grandfather Fu said as he shared his son away.


    Fu Lei turned to look at his sons before walking out of the room.


    That look meant they had to persuade the old man to get back home soon.


    "Grandfather, have you had lunch?." YingPei asked as he came to his side.


    "You Brat if you disturb my peace, I will send you away." Grandfather Fu warned, and YingPei raised his hands in defeat.


    Jia Li was surprised ???? to see how respected the Old Man was. And it looked like they would do anything the Old Man asked for.


    See how the two grandsons were standing, she stood up from her seat, but the Old Man asked her to sit back down.


    "If they can not stand, they should leave with their father."


    So Jia Li had no choice but to sit down with her gaze lowered.


    "Heh! What is your name?." YingPei asked Jia Li with his gaze on her? He seemed to be curious about her identity.


    Jia Li was not slow-witted and knew he was referring to her, so atst, she looked up to look at him while sparing the Older one a nce.


    "Jia Li."


    "Jia Li?." YingPei asked as he tried to depict the meaning of her name.


    "Jia Li means, Good and Beautiful," Grandfather said as he helped him out.


    "Ohh! Your name sounds pretty, but..."


    Grandfather Fu caught him off before he could finish his sentence.


    "Stop acting like a rouge!."


    "Grandfather, where did you pick her up from? She looks so young." YingPei asked the Old Man.


    "It is the Other way round. She picked me up." Grandfather Fu replied.


    "Oh! She saved your life." YingPei said with a little wonder as he gave Jia Li a scrutinizing gaze.


    "How did she save your life?." YingPei asked again, but he received a warning re from the Old Man.


    "Your Brain has been eaten up by the foreign food. Look where you are and who you are questioning. Fu Hua, get your brother to join thepany with immediate effect once you get back to the City, I can see his brain has been idle for a long time."


    "Yes, Grandfather." Fu Hua replied respectfully.


    "And what''s with the Cold countenance? Don''t scare Jia Li, or you better wait outside." Grandfather Fu said to him as he pointed at the door.


    Jia Li didn''t dare to butt in or to take a look at the young men being scolded. She didn''t want to get into any kind of trouble.


    "Grandfather, we''ll be back. We need to speak with your doctor and settle your bills." Fu Hua said before turning to walk away with YingPei behind him.


    When his grandsons left, Grandfather Fu said to Jia Li. "Girl rx, they are my grandsons, they don''t bite. One is quiet while the other is yful. When you get to know them very well, you will understand them better."


    "When I get to know them very well?." Jia Li said, repeating the Old Man''s words to him with confusion on her face.


    "When the timees, you will understand better." Grandfather Fu replied with a knowing smile on his face.


    "Oh!. But Grandfather, why are you Authoritative with your family?." Jia Li asked.


    "If I don''t do that, my opinion won''t matter. Look at me, I am already Old. I have two sons and one daughter, and all three are doing well in their capacity. If I act calm with them, I can not maintain peace, and nobody will listen to me if there is a misunderstanding between any of them." Grandfather Fu exined.


    What he meant is that if he didn''t act strong-headed, his children and grandchildren being great people already, will not bother to take his words important, so he has to act as one in Authority and keep them under his watch andmand.


    If he did everything they wanted of him, then things will change for the bad.


    Grandfather Fu is acting this way because of the Kind of Family he has.


    "Oh! Grandfather is only doing this to protect yourself and the interest of your family." Jia Li said having gotten his point.


    "You are right." Grandfather Fu said with a smile on his wrinkled face.


    "Grandfather, how many grandchildren do you have?." Jia Li asked.


    "You will know soon." That was the old man''s reply.

 Chapter 10 - Unfilial Children And Grandchildren

    <h4>Chapter 10 - Unfilial Children And Grandchildren</h4>


    "You will know soon." That was the old man''s reply.


    Jia Li felt the old man was talking in parables, but she chose to ignore him. Since he said she would understand everythingter in the future, all she had to do was to wait patiently.


    At noon, Mrs. Qin returned to the hospital with lunch. And when she dide with food, Fu Hua and YingPei went to check for a nearby hotel to reserve.


    "Mr. Fu, you are still not allowed to eat spicy food you recover fully, so please make do with this one." Mrs. Qin said as she scooped a bowl of soup for him.


    "I know. I will have to manage for a few days." Grandfather Fu replied as he epted the food. How could hein when he would get better in a few days and enjoy every dish of his choice?


    Fu Hua and YingPei came back when the Old Man was rounding up with his food.


    Mrs. Qin had left already as she had to report for a meeting.


    "Wow! Grandfather, how can you have the heart to eat without thinking of your grandchildren?." YingPei asked as he rushed to his grandfather''s side immediately he stepped into the room.


    "Do you think of this Old Man when you are about to eat?." Grandfather retorted as he hit YingPei''s fingers that were trying to grab his spoon.


    "Ah!." YingPei cried out as he blew on his fingers that had turned red already.


    Grandfather Fu''s hands were strong, so obviously, his strike would hurt.


    "Grandfather, we found a ce to stay, but it''s quite some distance from the hospital." Fu Hua said as he took a sit.


    Because Fu Hua and YingPei stood when they first arrived, Jia Li had to bring in more seats when they left, so they wouldn''t have to stand whenever they were around.


    "Are youining to me?." Grandfather Fu asked with a twisted expression on his face.


    "Grandfather, did we offend you?." YingPei asked not getting while his grandfather was being unweing towards them.


    "You lot offended me. None of you care about me. You only show up as my defendants when something bad happens to me. All my grandchildren are uncaring. Tell me, which one of you is filial?." The Old Man asked as he kept his food aside.


    He was done eating.


    Jia Li who shut her ears midway with an earpiece, and was scribbling something on a in sheet, looked up when the old man left his food aside.


    She was trying hard to make herself invisible.


    "Grandfather, we all have one or two things doing, so we can''t apany you all the time." Fu Hua spoke up this time around.


    "Even you? I raised you myself since you were born till you became a teenager, and yet you have turned against me? Who is asking you to watch over me like a child? All I''m saying is that none of my grandchildren visits me, everybody is busy with work. If I wasn''t lonely, would I have escaped to this ce for some fresh air?." Grandfather Fu questioned.


    The man was hurt by his unfilial children and grandchildren.


    As an Old Man who was always alone most of the time, he always wished his family woulde together once in a while to have a meal together, but it has always been a wish.


    If his family spend some time with him, he wouldn''t have felt so lonely as to escape to the countryside to breathe some fresh air, and he would never have gotten into an ident in the first ce.


    "Grandfather, we are sorry for neglecting you, I promise we will spend more time with you." Fu Hua promised.


    Fu Hua used to be close to his Grandfather because the Old Man raise him personally until he was a teenager who could take care of himself.


    Although he keeps some distance from the old man and the rest of his family because he didn''t want anybody to make decisions on his matter, he still listens to the Old man.


    Hearing the sincerity in his words, Grandfather Fu finally calmed down.


    Seeing the hot air was quickly dissipating, YingPei took it as a cue to pick the dish the old man left behind.


    When he tasted the soup, his face scrunched up.


    "Why is the soup so nd? Grandfather, how can you eat this kind of food? I was deceived by the aroma, who knew the taste would be so different?."


    "Who asked you to pick it up, are you a patient?." Fu Hua berated him.


    YingPei understood the food was made in preference to the old man''s state of health, no wonder it tasted so nd.


    "Grandfather did that little girl make this food for you?." YingPei asked curiously as he nced at Jia Li.


    "Who are you calling a little girl?." Grandfather Fu queries.


    "She looks so young, so she is a little girl. Right brother?." YingPei turned to Fu Hua for confirmation, but he gave Jia Li a mere nce before looking away, totally ignoring him.


    Feeling the calm atmosphere, Jia Li finally took off her earpiece before walking to the Old Man''s side to clear his tes. And after that, she handed him a ss of room temperature water.


    The Old Man gulped the entire water down before handing the empty cup back to her.


    "Jia Li, you haven''t had any lunch yet, eat something already." Grandfather Fu said to her with concernced in his tone.


    "Grandfather doesn''t worry about me, I''m fine." Jia Li assured him with a smile.


    Hearing someone else who wasn''t rted to them in any way call the Old Man, ''Grandfather'', the young men nced at Jia Li.


    One with a look of surprise, and the other one with a frown on his face.


    Jia Li wanted to disappear when she felt the gazes on her.


    "I won''t be rest assured till you eat something." Grandfather Fu said to her before turning to his grandson to instruct, "Fu Hua, take Jia Li to eat something healthy. She has been taking care of me since yesterday, she needs to be looked after."

 Chapter 11 - I Like Your Family Tradition

    <h4>Chapter 11 - I Like Your Family Tradition</h4>


    "I won''t be rest assured till you eat something." Grandfather Fu said to her before turning to his grandson to instruct, "Fu Hua, take Jia Li to eat something healthy. She has been taking care of me since yesterday, she needs to be looked after."


    "Ok." Fu Hua agreed without another word.


    Jia Li looked embarrassed, so she put her head down.


    "Jia Li, don''t be embarrassed. They are my grandsons, they don''t bite." Grandfather Fu assured her with a kind smile on his face.


    "Really, we don''t bite," Yingpei added with a knowing smile.


    "But grandfather, who will watch over you if I leave?." Jia Li asked worriedly. She has never let the Old Man be by himself, so she was a bit worried since he was a patient and couldn''t do things by himself.


    "It''s only kids that need to be watched over. But if you are worried about me being alone, call the doctor on your way out, I need to chat with him." Grandfather Fu said to her, to get her mind off worries.


    "Okay, I will do that grandfather." Jia Li quickly agreed.


    Fu Hua and YingPei both spared her a nce.


    ''Grandfather?.'' She dares to address their Grandfather like she was a member of their family.


    Jia Li could feel their eyes on her. It wasn''t harmful, but she was still worried.


    ''Have I misspoken?.'' She thought.


    "Miss Jia Li, this way," YingPei called out to her as Fu Hua already stepped out of the room.


    "Oh! Grandfather, see youter." Jia Li said as she waved to the old man before leaving the room with YingPei ahead of her.


    On their way out, Jia Li called the doctor as instructed.


    "You are seriously worried about my grandfather, what''s your reason?." YingPei asked her as he walked beside her.


    "Grandfather Is old and can not do a lot of things by himself now he is a patient, so I''m worried about him." Jia Li replied with her gaze in front.


    Fu Hua was already walking ahead of them. He acted as if he didn''t want to have anything to do with her.


    "I see. You saved our grandfather, and for that we are grateful." YingPei said to her in a modest tone.


    "There is no need to thank me. I would have saved anybody in that situation." Jia Li responded.


    "I must say you are brave to have done that in that kind of situation," YingPei said as he gazed at her.


    Jia Li nodded in reply after finally sparing him a nce.


    That little nce she gave to him, helped her to ascertain his facial features. She could tell he was good-looking.


    Fu Hua who was walking ahead of them heard everything they talked about but didn''t give any remarks.


    "Miss Jia Li, you are a local. Can you rmend any good ce for Lunch?." YingPei asked.


    Jia Li looked troubled as she didn''t have any idea on what to give him as a reply.


    "I have no idea." She managed to say in a low tone.


    YingPei found her answer to be ridiculous. "Are you not a local?."


    "I am. But my family only eats home-cooked food. My mother doesn''t allow my father and me to eat out. She says the food out there, is not healthy. And even though it''s healthy, it can not bepared to the food prepared at home with a lot of love and dedication."


    Jia Li''s reply seemed to have caught Fu Hua''s attention because he stopped in his steps and turned to give Jia Li a scrutinizing gaze before looking away and continued with his steps.


    "Did I say something wrong?." Jia Li asked in a low tone.


    Just now, when Fu Hua turned to look at her, their eyes locked together, and that was his she managed to get a little look at him.


    She saw his facial features, but they were blurry because she didn''t have time to take a look at them properly.


    Fu Hua''s eyes scared her, and that cold look on his face seemed to say, ''Keep Off'', so she looked away immediately.


    "You didn''t say anything wrong. I like your family tradition." YingPei said to her as he managed to hide hisughter.


    Both Fu Hua and YingPei had the same thought that Jia Li was truly ignorant and was still a child.


    Outside the hospital when they got to the most expensive car parked around the vicinity, Fu Hua threw the car keys to YingPei, and he caught it fluidly.


    "Miss Jia Li, get into the car," YingPei said to Jia Li, and she did as instructed.


    Both brothers got into the from part of the car.


    "Brother, which restaurant are we going to?." YingPei asked Fu Hua for his opinion.


    "I don''t know, I will go with your choice today. But I don''t think there is any good ce here." Fu Hua replied.


    "Alright," YingPei said before opening the GPS map in his phone to search for nearby restaurants. And when he found one, he ignited the car''s engine before driving out.


    Jia Li sat at the back seat quietly without uttering a word and making any movements. Her eyes were on the road till they got to a restaurant.


    Seeing them get off the car, she followed their actions as well.


    "This is the ce," YingPei announced.


    "I hope the food is at least, table." Fu Hua said in a not-so-good tone.


    He disliked his current location.


    "We have to manage until grandfather is discharged," YingPei said to him as they walked inside the restaurant.


    As they walked in, they were weed by a waiter who directed them to a table.


    The waiter asked for their order, as he recited all the avable dishes the restaurant had.


    "Miss Jia Li, can you make an order for us? You are a local and should know some of the best dishes here." YingPei requested as he turned to gaze at Jia Li.

 Chapter 12 - Dining With The Big Shots

    <h4>Chapter 12 - Dining With The Big Shots</h4>


    "Miss Jia Li, can you make an order for us? You are a local and should know some of the best dishes here." YingPei requested as he turned to gaze at Jia Li.


    "Me?." Jia Li said while pointing at herself.


    Now she was sharing a table with the Fu brothers, she was opportune to get a good look at them.


    She could see they had handsome features, but she dare not stare at them for a long time.


    "Yes, you. We need your rmendation." YingPei insisted.


    "I am afraid, I dare not." Jia Li rejected as she looked away.


    "It''s fine, ce your order," YingPei said to her before asking the waiter to serve their signature dishes.


    Jia Li agreed and ordered two dishes for herself, but YingPei added extra dishes for her


    "You are still young, you need to eat more," YingPei said to her with a smile on his face.


    Fu Hua scoffed, ignoring his brother.


    Jia Li was different from most girls. She wasn''t slim, and she wasn''t fat. She just had a little amount of flesh on her body, but she still couldn''t be called, chubby or plump.


    She wasn''t bothered about her body because her mother praised her for having a healthy body.


    "Thank you!." Jia Li said politely.


    Just then, a chime came from Fu Hua''s phone, so he took it out to take a look.


    Seeing an SMS from his girlfriend, he walked out of the restaurant with his phone in hand.


    Jia Li and YingPei looked over till his back left their view.


    "You seem to be scared of my brother," YingPei said rather than asking because he was sure.


    "Am I?." Jia Li asked as she gazed at him.


    "Yes you are, and it''s very obvious. Don''t mind the iced look on his face, don''t be scared of him, he won''t bite you." YingPei said to help rx her nerves.


    "Oh." Jia Li replied.


    As YingPei was asking Jia Li questions to know more about the locals as they waited for their dishes, Fu Hua was outside the restaurant on a call with his girlfriend.


    "If I didn''t text you, you have forgotten to call me, right?." Alix Feng asked as she twirled the wine ss in her hand.


    She was sitting on her bed with a wine ss???? in her hand while on a call with Fu Hua.


    "It''s not that. I haven''t settled what I came here for, so I''ve been a little busy over here." Fu Hua exined.


    "You should have at least called or texted to keep me updated. You know I was worried about you." Alix Feng.


    "Alix, I haven''t had time." Fu Hua replied.


    "It''s alright, I understand. How is your grandfather doing? Is he getting better?." Alix Feng asked, switching over to another topic before he got infuriated.


    "He is recovering." Fu Hua gave a simple reply.


    "What about you, how are you? Where are you staying in that kind of local city?." Alix Feng asked?


    "Alix I''m fine, you don''t have to worry about me, I''m fine. I will be back soon." Fu Hua replied with his hand in his pocket.


    "You are my boyfriend so if I don''t get worried about you, who will?. You look like you are not in the mood to talk, goodbye." Alix Feng said in a strong tone before ending the call immediately, despite knowing that Fu Hua didn''t like that attitude.


    She was angry because she wasn''t getting enough attention from him, so she ended the call to throw a tantrum, which she knew would not be epted.


    She kept her phone on the bed beside her and proceeded to finish the remaining content of her wine ss.


    Fu Hua nced at the nk screen of his phone with creased brows. He heaved a sigh before turning to walk back inside the restaurant.


    He walked in at the right time because their food was being served.


    After the waiter finished serving their dishes, he put three bottles of water before them, before he took his leave.


    "The food looks appetizing, and I hope the taste is as good as it looks," YingPei said as he picked up his chopsticks.


    Fu Hua on the other hand was ncing at the food with a double mind. The food looked like it would have a good taste, but he didn''t want to risk his stomach, so he waited patiently for his brother to try the dish and tell him if it was safe.


    As for Jia Li, she picked up her cutlery and began to eat quietly. She nced at the dishes on the table before deciding to eat.


    Her reasoning was different from Fu Hua''s.


    "Brother, the food is actually nice, you can give it a try," YingPei said after trying all the dishes on the table, including the one Jia Li ordered for herself.


    "Oh!." Fu Hua said as he picked up his chopsticks and tried a few dishes with YingPei''s directions.


    After trying some of the side dishes, Fu Hua didn''t say anything and continued to eat. His facial expressions didn''t show if he was satisfied or not.


    Right as he was eating, the phone he left on the table chimed, and he nced at it. The only thing that caught his eye from the SMS his girlfriend sent to him was the apology she started with.


    He already knew it was an apology message, so he didn''t need to take a look at it at the moment.


    Jia Li was the first person to stop eating.


    "Miss Jia Li, are you satisfied already, or you don''t like the food?." YingPei asked in concern.


    If there was anyone he was thinking would give up on the food first, it was his brother. So Jia Li giving up on the food first, got his surprise.


    "I liked the food, but I''m satisfied, thank you." Jia Li replied to him politely.


    YingPei nodded and continued eating with nothing in mind, while Fu Hua thought Jia Li gave up on the food in pretense.


    But the truth is that Jia Li gave up on the food because she was full. She was too nervous because she was sharing a table with the big shots, so the nervousness upied the remaining space her food was supposed to upy

 Chapter 13 - Embarassed

    <h4>Chapter 13 - Embarassed</h4>


    Fu Hua wasn''tfortable eating in a local restaurant, so he stopped eating soon after Jia Li gave up on the food. Now, only YingPei was still eating.


    "Miss Jia Li, since I met you, you''ve been putting on that jacket, are you not hot?." YingPei asked after he swallowed the food in his mouth.


    This was summer, and it was very hot these days. The restaurant they came to had no air conditioning system. Even Fu Hua took off his suit jacket when he walked into the restaurant. Now, he was wondering why Jia Li still had her jacket on.


    Jia Li looked embarrassed as she stole a nce at him. "I''m fine."


    "How are you fine? You are already sweating. Even if you don''t want to take off the jacket, at least unzip it, so you can cool off a bit." YingPei advised her.


    He was indeed worried about her. How could she be wearing a jacket in this kind of hot weather?.


    "Really, I''m fine." Jia Li insisted as she clutched the chest area of the jacket.


    Because Fu Hua had his eyes on her, therefore he noticed something, so he looked away before telling YingPei off.


    "YingPei, it''s enough. Let her be."


    "Oh!.'' YingPei said before going back to eating his food.


    Jia Li felt relieved that YingPei wasn''t pestering her anymore, so she let go of the jacket and looked up at Fu Hua gratefully, but he had his eyes elsewhere.


    Fu Hua was currently reading the text that came from his girlfriend.


    After reading her apology message, he replied to her text, which meant he had forgiven her.


    Just as he put his phone down, YingPei concluded with eating.


    "Miss Jia Li, you look so young, are you in college?." YingPei asked. He seemed to be making so many inquiries about her.


    Jia Li nodded in response to confirm his thoughts.


    "Wow! Which college? What''s your major?." YingPei asked in an excited tone.


    Jia Li replied to him, but her response shocked the two brothers. Her answer about her major shocked them because she didn''t look like what she was majoring in.


    "You are studying Fashion and Design?." YingPei asked in a shocked tone.


    Jia Li felt his actions were hrious. ''Why did he seem shocked to learn I''m studying Fashion and Design?.''


    Jia Li nodded to confirm her words.


    Of course, the Fu brothers would be shocked to learner a major because her style of dressing wasn''t linked to her course of study.


    Jia Li was putting on a big jacket and a pair of jeans that looked big on her. She folded the mouth of the jeans and was putting on a pair of white sneakers. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun.


    Her looks and sense of dressing didn''t make sense for somebody that was studying fashion and design. At least, she should look a bit like what she was studying even if she doesn''t have the money to dress up.


    "Wow! You don''t look like at it." YingPei said as he gave her a scrutinizing gaze.


    Jia Li felt embarrassed as he eyes looked her up and down.


    Having gotten a little understanding of Jia Li''s bodynguage, Fu Hua could tell she was embarrassed.


    "YingPei do you know it''s inappropriate to look at a woman that way?." Fu Hua asked, calling his brother to order.


    "Oh! I''m sorry Miss Jia." YingPei apologized to Jia Li who had her gaze downwards.


    Jia Li nodded in understanding without looking up at him.


    Seeing her act that way, a thought came to his mind, so he decided to tease her as a smile appeared on her face.


    "Miss Jia Li, you easily get embarrassed. Do you have a boyfriend?." YingPei asked with his gaze on her.


    "YingPei!." Fu Hua called out to him, feeling he had gone too far.


    Why was he prying into someone''s privacy?


    Jia Li raised her head to look at him with her red face. "You...you..." She stuttered.


    "I''m sorry." YingPei apologized to her with a smile on his face and his hands raised, but he did not look sorry at all.


    "We are done here. YingPei, pay for the food and meet us outside." Fu Hua instructed before standing up and walking away.


    Jia Li read meaning into his sentence and knew he was trying to save her from his rogue of a brother, so she hurried after him, totally ignoring YingPei who was calling after her.


    She would really be an idiot to stay back to wait for him.


    Outside the restaurant, Jia Li thanked Fu Hua for helping her out, but he replied with an indifferent gaze. "No need."


    After settling the bills, YingPei walked out of the restaurant and unlocked the car doors with the car key in his hand.


    On their way to the hospital, Jia Li was quiet as usual, why the two brothers talked about business.


    Because the car was air-conditioned, Jia Li didn''t feel hot again, and she was thankful. But when they got to the hospital, and the hot air hit her, she began to feel hurt again.


    She felt the Air-conditioned car made her situation worse, which was true.


    As they walked inside the hospital, YingPei stopped by the reception to ask a few questions, while Fu Hua and Jia Li stood by the side to wait for him.


    While waiting, Fu Hua noticed that Jia Li was beginning to seat again, so he put his hand inside his pocket and took out a cotton navy blue patterned handkerchief before passing it to her.


    Jia Li nced at his hand before looking up at him in confusion.


    Her confused look seemed to be asking, ''Why are you passing a handkerchief to me?.''


    Fu Hua read the silent question on her face, so he replied, "Wipe your sweat."


    "Thank you!. I will wash it and return it to you." Jia Li said as she epted the handkerchief.


    "No need." Fu Hua replied before looking away.

 Chapter 14 - Potential Granddaughter-in-law

    <h4>Chapter 14 - Potential Granddaughter-inw</h4>


    "Thank you!. I will wash it and return it to you." Jia Li said as she epted the handkerchief.


    "No need." Fu Hua replied before looking away.


    Jia Li didn''t know why, but she had a thinking that Fu Hua didn''t want to associate with her.


    As she brought the handkerchief close to her face to wipe the sweat, she perceived his scent on the handkerchief, and suddenly felt happy.


    She wiped her sweat with it, before putting it away in her pocket. And just then, YingPei arrived, and they went into Old Mr. Fu''s hospital room. And there, they met Mrs. Qin.


    "Mom, when did youe?." Jia Li asked as she went to her mother''s side.


    Grandfather Fu had just finished eating and Mrs. Qin was putting his tes aside.


    "Not long ago. Mr. Fu said you went out to eat." Mrs. Qin said as she nced at the two handsome Fu brothers, who politely bowed to her in greeting.


    She nodded back at them before continuing her speech. "Since you have eaten already, looks like I have to keep the food for myself."


    Jia Li had a frown on her face. Then she nced at the Fu brothers before ncing at the sk of food her mother brought for her.


    She knows her mother was taunting her because she knew she wouldn''t eat well outside since she wasn''t used to it.


    But she was worried the Fu brothers wouldn''t look good if she epted the food from her mother, it would look as if they starved her when they took her out to eat, and that wouldn''t look good on the old Man as well.


    So now, she had to struggle between choosing her stomach over other people''s consideration. After struggling for a while, she chose thetter.


    "Mum, you can keep the food for yourself, I have eaten." Jia Li said to her mother.


    Although Mrs. Qin wasn''t expecting that reply, she didn''t continue taunting her because of the food.


    She took the tes and stepped out from the room, and Jia Li followed after her.


    "Grandfather, I will be back." Jia Li said to Grandfather Fu, and he nodded in response with a smile on his aged face


    Outside the room, Mrs. Qin paused in her steps to say to her, "Your father came over to deliver the food. He wanted to see you, but you were not here."


    "Oh! Then I have to go back home today." Jia Li replied.


    "Yes, you have to go back home and help your father out with the dinner today. I will be walking shifts today, so I can''t go home. Mr. Fu''s grandsons are here to look after him. The hospital food is not so good, so you need to cook dinner and bring it to the hospital for Mr. Fu." Mrs. Qin said to her with worry on her face.


    "Alright, mum. I will just chat with Grandfather Fu for a short while before going home to prepare dinner." Jia Li assured her with a smile.


    "Alright, go back inside." Mrs. Qin said to her before leaving.


    Jia Li stood there and watched her mother leave, before turning back to go inside the room.


    Grandfather Fu was chatting with his grandsons when she entered the room.


    "Girl, did you eat to your satisfaction?." Grandfather Fu asked immediately she walked inside the room. He abandoned his grandsons he was earlier engaged in a conversation with.


    "Yes, Grandfather." Jia Li lied with a smile on her face.


    "Don''t lie to me. Your mother said you were not used to eating outside, so I guess you were notfortable with the food out there." Grandfather Fu said as he gazed at her.


    Jia Ki smiled sheepishly for being caught.


    "I am sorry grandfather." She apologized to the old man.


    "It''s okay. I know you lied so I wouldn''t have to worry about you." Grandfather Fu said after he heaved a sigh.


    "But don''t worry grandfather, I will go back home to make a sumptuous dinner for all of us." Jia Li said suddenly with a cheerful smile on her face.


    "That''s good... That''s good. This Old man here will like to eat the food prepared by you." Grandfather Fu replied cheerfully, with a different mindset.


    Jia Li didn''t know the Old man was observing her as a potential Granddaughter-inw.


    "Miss Jia Li, you can cook? I will also like to try your food." YingPei said with a cheerful smile on his face.


    Jia Li nodded with a smile on his face. As for Fu Hua, he was unamused.


    While chatting with the Old Man, Jia Li started to sweat again, so she took out the handkerchief Fu Hua gave to her, to wipe her sweat.


    Grandfather Fu saw the handkerchief and recognized it as Fu Hua''s, but he didn''t say anything.


    "Alright Grandfather, I''m going home to prepare food, I will be back soon." Jia Li said to the Old Man cheerfully before turning to walk out of the door.


    When she left, the room returned to being silent.


    "Grandfather, I have spoken with your doctor, he said you can be discharged within the next 48 hours." Fu Hua revealed.


    "What 48 hours? Go and call the doctor. There is no need to call him. Tell him I''m leaving the hospital tomorrow evening." Grandfather Fu dered.


    "What if everything is not alright, and you leave before the time to keep you under watch?." Fu Hua asked.


    "I will be living with the Ahn''s. The doctor can easilye for a check-up in their house. I''m tired of staying in this environment, I need a new and lively ce to stay. If I remain here, I will get depressed." Grandfather Fu said.


    Fu Hua and YingPei exchanged nces, but none of them said a word. Whatever they will say now, will be to annoy the old man. But the old man had already made up his mind, so he won''t easily change it.

 Chapter 15 - Police Report

    <h4>Chapter 15 - Police Report</h4>


    Back home, Jia Li was the only one around, so she checked the kitchen for the ingredients they had at home, before making a list of what she would be needing.


    After making her list, she picked some money from their small living room and left the house with a shop bag in hand. She was going to the market to buy the remaining ingredients she needed to cook with.


    When she returned home, her father was still not back yet, so she washed her hands and her face and started to prepare the ingredients for the meal.


    Two hours,ter, Jia Li was already done cooking and has packaged the food in different food containers. She was now cleaning up the kitchen.


    As she put away thest te she washed, she sighed in relief and damped the beads of sweat on her forehead with her clothing.


    Now it was time for a shower. Ten minutester, Jia Li had a refreshed look. This time around, she wasn''t putting on any jacket. She was putting on a round neck polo and jeans, with sandals on her feet.


    Shebed her hair and packed it in a ponytail before going to the living room to take the food she put away.


    The two polythene bags she put the food in, were heavy, so she had to carry each in one hand.


    With her shoulder bag secured, she lifted the polythene bags and skipped away.


    Since it was evening, the hot sun ?? has already gone in, so Jia Li didn''t need to worry about sweating much as she walked into the hospital.


    She first checked on her mother and delivered her dinner to her.


    "Did you see you, father, at home?." Mrs. Qin asked as she took her dinner, Jia Li passed to her.


    "No." Jia Li replied with her attention to the remaining meals.


    "Oh! I almost forgot. He said there was an emergency at the construction site, so he had to go back there." Mrs. Qin revealed.


    "But it''ste, it''s almost dark." Jia Li said as she looked through the windows of the hospital.


    "Hold on, let me give him a call." Mrs. Qin said as she picked up her phone to call her husband.


    After a few rings, Mr. Qin picked up the call. "Chu, did you know I was about having my dinner when you decided to call? Did you do it on purpose?."


    "Honey, what are you saying? Jia Li was worried about you. She wanted to know if you are back home already. But since you are about to eat, I know the answer." Mrs. Qin replied.


    "Oh! I saw Jia Li on my way back to the house, but the distance was far, so I couldn''t call out to her. You should know I was joking with you. Don''t you miss me?." Mr. Qin asked with a taunting smile.


    "Alright... Alright, good night." Mrs. Qin said as she ended the call with a smile. Then she turned to Jia Li to say something, but she beat her to it.


    "I know, he is back home. See you." Jia Li said as she lifted the two polythene bags and walked away.


    "Huh! ????." Mrs. Qin eximed as she watched her daughter''s back disappear from her view, with confusionced on her face.


    When Jia Li got to Grandfather Fu''s room door, she was about to put down one of the polythene bags, so she could have a free hand to knock, a hand-stretched forward to open the door for her.


    And when she followed the hand to the person''s attire, and then face, a polite smile appeared on her face as she greeted the person.


    "Good evening, Officer Su."


    "Good evening, Miss Jia Li." Officer su replied as he pushed the door open for her.


    Jia Li nodded in gratitude before walking into the room with Officer Su behind her.


    Inside the room, Jia Li greeted the old man cheerfully, and he replied to her before nodding to the Fu brothers in greeting.


    Seeing that she was carrying so many things, YingPei offered to help her.


    "Thank you." Jia Li said to him in gratitude.


    "No troubles," YingPei replied as he kept the polythene bag on the table on one side of the room.


    Officer Su greeted Grandfather Fu with a bow, as earlier instructed by the Old man before he nodded in greetings to the Fu brothers.


    Jia Li knew Officer Su came for a purpose, so she couldn''t serve the food yet. So she sat close to the table where the food was kept.


    Just when Officer Su finished his formal greetings, another knock came on the door. And the people that walked in were police officers.


    Now there were three police officers in the small private hospital room, and Grandfather Fu was not happy about it.


    "To what do I owe this unpleasant visit?." Grandfather Fu asked in a displeased tone.


    The police Officers would be fools if they couldn''t tell the Old man was not happy with their visit.


    The one who seemed to be their leader took a step forward to exin the purpose of their visit.


    Officer Su''s job was to bring his Boss over here since he was familiar with Grandfather Fu.


    It turns out the police Officers were here to report their findings of the ident Grandfather Fu was involved in.


    The perpetrator was on a call when he lost control of the truck. Realizing the huge damaged he had caused, which involved a life, he escaped with the truck in panic. And when he got to a more remote area, he abandoned the truck and fled.


    Now, the truck driver has been caught. He was arrested at noon, and taken into custody for questioning and further investigations.


    "You did your job well by finding the truck driver. The truck driver has to pay for his crimes. If he didn''t flee, I would have pardoned him, and not press charges. But he refused to take responsibility and fled. He aggravated his condition, and now his crime has increased because his is attempted murder." Grandfather Fu said in a clear tone.

 Chapter 16 - Jia Lis Great Culinary Skills

    <h4>Chapter 16 - Jia Li''s Great Culinary Skills</h4>


    Grandfather Fu''s tone was clear, and the meaning of his words, easy to understand.


    The police officers only came to report thetest information to him and were not there to plead on behalf of anybody.


    "General, we will handle him ording to thew. We are sorry to have disturbed your rest, we will take our leave now." The chief police officer said as he and his underlings bowed before taking their leave.


    You may be wondering why the Fu brothers didn''t butt in during the conversation, so here is the reason. The Fu brothers knew their grandfather was capable, and wouldn''t need their help to speak, so they kept calm.


    Now the Police Officers were gone, and the old man had calmed down a bit, Jia could now serve the food.


    With a cheerful smile on her face, Jia Li stood to her feet as she approached the old man.


    "Grandfather, it''ste already and you need to have your dinner."


    Grandfather Fu smiled as he said to her, "Girl, this old man has been waiting for your food."


    "Okay. But grandfather, don''t make fun of Jia Li if the food is not to your taste." Kia Li said before walking back to the table to serve the food.


    "I wouldn''t dare." Grandfather Fu said with a smile on his wrinkled face.


    Fu Hua and YingPei had their eyes on Jia Li as she took out the four lunch boxes ???? from the polythene bags.


    "Do you think her food will be nice?." YingPei whispered to Fu Hua in a curious tone.


    "I don''t know." Fu Hua replied as he looked away from Jia Li.


    Grandfather Fu''s meal box was different from the others because he was still a patient. He epted his meal box with an anticipating smile on his aged face.


    "The food looks delicious." Grandfather Fu said as he removed the lid of his food box, before picking up his chopsticks ????.


    "Taste it." Jia Li said to him as she handed two meal boxes to Fu Hua and Yingpei.


    "Mmm. It has a great taste!." Grandfather Fu praised her cooking after taking a bite of the freshly cooked vegetables on his te.


    "It smells nice," YingPei said after he uncovered the lunch box. He was already drooling and couldn''t wait to have a taste.


    "Thank you!." Jia Li said with a happy smile before going to eat her food.


    As for Fu Hua, he was unlike the others. He didn''t give any reaction and just ate his food in silence.


    When he first had a taste of the food, he knew the food was delicious, but he refused to say anything and preferred to enjoy the meal in silence.


    Jia Li thought Fu Hua didn''t like the food, so she felt a little bad, but decided not to dwell on it as she focused on her food.


    During the meal, Grandfather Fu''s face was filled with a smile, and YingPei wasn''t left behind. Grandfather and Grandson enjoyed their meal with satisfied smiles on their faces, while the other grandson chose to hide his feelings.


    After the meal, Jia Li packed up their lunch boxes and kept them away.


    "Girl, I didn''t know you could cook so well, even more than your mother." Grandfather Fu praised with a grin.


    Jia Li chuckled softly as she replied, "Grandfather why do I think your praise sounds like you are bootlicking?."


    "Who has time for that? I was only telling the truth." Grandfather Fu replied as he looked away.


    "Okay...okay thank you, grandfather." Jia Li replied happily.


    Having rested for a while, Jia Li passed his medications to him with a ss of water, and the old man took it without a fuss, before handing the ss back to her.


    "Grandfather, finish the water." Jia Li said as she handed the ss back to him.


    ''Who dares tomand grandfather?.'' The Fu brothers thought as they looked on. But to their surprise, their grandfather took the ss from Jia Li and finished the water obediently before handing the empty ss back to her.


    It looks like they need to start getting used to the influence Jia Li had over their grandfather.


    Around 9 pm, Fu Hua and YingPei left the hospital to their hotel they lodged in, so only Grandfather Fu and Jia were left in the hospital room.


    Sometimeter, Mrs. Qin and the nurse assigned to check on Grandfather Fu came to check on him.


    Because of the drip, grandfather Fu needed to use the bathroom often. Now he could walk by himself, he didn''t need help with bathroom breaks.


    FU VILLA


    "When will my sons be back?." A good-looking older woman asked General Fu as sheid on the same bed as him. She was his wife and the mother to Fu Hua and YingPei, Mrs. Fu.


    "Have you asked about my father?." General Fu asked with a tired look.


    "I know he is getting better. The old General has always been a strong man, so I''m sure he is strong enough now. I''m only worried about my sons since they might not be used to the environment." Mrs. Fu said with a neutral look.


    "Tomorrow morning, call Father to ask about his health. Don''t make up any excuse, just call him and apologize for not calling him earlier, then ask about his health. I know you don''t care, but at least ord him some respect." General Fu said in an annoyed tone before turning over to the other side.


    "Are you angry with me?." Mrs. Fu asked with her gaze on his back, but she didn''t receive any reply.


    She didn''t why he was suddenly angry with her, but she had to cate him.


    "Alright, I will do as you have instructed. I will call Father in the morning."


    Mrs. Fu still didn''t get any reply, so she guessed her husband was already asleep, so sighed before closing her eyes to sleep as well. When morning reached, then she will have to bother about other things.

 Chapter 17 - Grandfather Fu Stays At The Qins Residence

    <h4>Chapter 17 - Grandfather Fu Stays At The Qin''s Residence</h4>


    Grandfather Fu woke up this morning to a call from one of his granddaughters-inw. When he saw the caller ID, a smirk formed on his lips.


    When he answered the call, Fu Hee didn''t let him speak up as she greeted him in a cheerful tone and went ahead to ask about his health, rambling on and off.


    When Grandfather Fu couldn''t handle her ramblings, he cut her off.


    "Did you call to check up on me or did you call to annoy me?." Grandfather Fu asked in an annoyed tone.


    Mrs. Fu Hee was taken aback by the Old man''s annoyed tone, but she knew better not to piss him off further, so she smiled and spoke in a tone to cate him.


    "Father, how could you talk like that? I called to know your present state of health." Mrs. Fu Hee said with a fawning smile, although the old man couldn''t see it.


    "Fu Hee, don''t think I don''t know your thoughts. You don''t want me toe back to keep you in ce since your husband can not do the job. My health is in perfect condition if you insist to know." Grandfather Fu said in annoyance as he ended the call.


    Tut...tut...tut


    "Hello! Father? Hello?!." Mrs. Fu Hee called out but received no response from his end. She nced at the phone just to see the call had already been terminated.


    "Why is he angry this morning? Does he hate my voice so much?." Mrs. Fu Hee muttered to herself with her lowered gaze on the phone. But when she looked up, she saw her husband staring intently at her.


    She was almost scared out of her wits. She didn''t hear any footsteps or any sound to indicate someone was approaching.


    "Do you want to cause my blood pressure to rise? How long have you been standing there?." Mrs. Fu Hee asked with creased brows.


    "Since the time you were sweet-talking to Father." General Fu Lei replied before walking past her to sit on the couch


    Fu Hee followed him immediately to sit by his side. "It is not my fault I had to act that way. Father is very difficult to talk to, that''s why I had to implore such means."


    "What sort of excuse is that? If you were genuine, would you have trouble conversing with father?." General Fu Lei asked, sparing her a nce before looking away.


    "Why are you angry with me this morning? Your father is already angry, you want to join him as well?." Mrs. Fu Hee asked with a hurt facial expression.


    "Sometimes I do not understand you. Father will be home soon, this is just a reminder to do a good job." General Fu Lei said before standing and walking away.


    Mrs. Fu Hee should be panicking now, but she remained on moved with a look of indifference as her husband walked away.


    She didn''t seem affected by the situation at all. But even if she didn''t seem affected at all, she still needed to do her job as the first daughter-inw of Retired Major General Fu Wei Lei.


    Back in the countryside where Jia Li was living with her parents, Grandfather Fu has just been discharged from the hospital and insisted on staying with the Qins. There was nothing Fu Hua and YingPei could do other than to ept that fact.


    Jia Li had to clear up her grandfather''s room for the old man to reside in.


    Grandfather Fu stayed with the Qins for two days before agreeing to leave with his grandsons.


    But before he left for the city, his grandsons would visit him every afternoon and leave in the evening.


    The first noon the Fu brothers came to visit their grandfather at the Qin''s house, they found the ce to be very small and ufortablepared to the mansion they were living in.


    Because Jia Li spends the whole day with Grandfather Fu, the old man isn''t lonely.


    Jia Li yed games with him and told him stories to keep himpany. Then in the evening, he would take walks with his grandsons.


    Mrs. Qin worked night shifts, while Mr. Qin went for work at a construction site, so basically, Jia Li spends most of the time with the Old man.


    The second afternoon the Qin brothers came to visit before they traveled back, Fu Hua refused to eat lunch there, but YingPei epted the food Jia Li served him.


    Grandfather Fu nced at him but continued to eat without saying anything. After a few spoons, he encouraged YingPei to eat to his satisfaction.


    Fu Hua knew Grandfather Fu was not happy with me, but he didn''t want to eat anything because he was ufortable and wanted to go back to the city soon.


    "Miss Jia Li, please get me something to drink." Fu Hua turned to Jia Li to ask.


    "Okay, I''ll be right back." Jia Li said with a polite smile as she went into the kitchen and returned with a bottle of fresh apple juice.


    She cleaned the cap before passing the drink to him.


    "Thank you!." Fu Hua said as he took the drink from her. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the cap before removing it.


    Jia Li was amazed at how thorough he was.


    "Brother, you should try this, it''s nice." YingPei who has been eating quietly all these while said to Fu Hua while pointing at the side dishes on the table.


    "I''m not interested." Fu Hua replied before drinking from the bottle of fruit drink.


    When he finished the fruit juice, he went to the small living room to sit and wait for them.


    Jia Li joined Grandfather Fu and YingPei at the dining table to have her lunch.


    A ''ding'' sound came from Fu Hua''s phone, and he checked out. It was a text from his girlfriend asking when he would be back.


    Fu Hua read the text but didn''t reply, because he wanted to surprise her the next day.


    Yes, he was going back to the city the next morning, so he wanted to surprise her.

 Chapter 18 - What Do You Think?

    <h4>Chapter 18 - What Do You Think?</h4>


    The next morning when Fu Hua and YingPei came to pick their grandfather up, Fu Hau overpaid Mrs. Qin for the expenses she made on the hospital bills and feeding throughout their stay, but Mrs. Qin rejected the extra money he gave to her. She only took what was due.


    Before grandfather left the Qin''s mansion, he exchanged phone numbers with Jia Li.


    Jia Li and her parents escorted Grandfather Fu to the ce their cars were parked.


    "Grandfather, don''t forget to give me a call when you get home." Jia Li reminded the Old man.


    "I will... I will. You have reminded me about it some many times, how can I forget?." Grandfather Fu said to her with a smile on his aged face.


    "Oh!." Jia Li said as she scratched her hair. She can''t remember how many times she reminded the old man about calling her when he gets home.


    "Have a safe trip, Mr. Fu." Jia Li''s parents said to the old man with amicable smiles on their faces.


    "Thank you!." Old Mr. Fu replied as he got into the back seat of the car.


    "Goodbye, grandfather." Jia Li said to the old man as she waved to him.


    Grandfather Fu waved back to Jia Li before the bodyguard closed the car door.


    Fu Hua and YingPei who have been standing at the side said their goodbyes to the Qin family before getting into the second car.


    Then Qin family stood and waved as the cars drove off from their sight.


    Jia Li stared into space as she was a little bit sad.


    "Do you miss the Old man already?." Mrs. Qin asked with a kind smile.


    "Yes. And he was kind to me just like a grandfather." Jia Li replied with her gaze on her mother.


    "Since you miss him, you don''t have to worry too much because one day fate will bring you two together." Mrs. Qin said to her as she took her hand and led the way back to their house.


    "Is my princess sad because she misses Old Mr. Fu? Don''t be sad, because you will meet him again, soon." Mr. Qin said as he held Jia Li''s other hand.


    Jia Li sulked till they got inside their house.


    When Grandfather Fu finally stepped into the huge aristocrat mansion of his, he sighed in relief.


    Before he could take a step inside, Fu Hee rushed out of the house to wee him with a brilliant smile.


    "Father, you are back? Wee home! You look good as always." Fu Hee said as she walked beside the old man.


    "Mmmm." Grandfather Fu hummed in reply as he walked into the huge mansion.


    After Grandfather Fu walked into the house, Fu Hee turned to her sons to hug them.


    "Oh! Look at my boys. You must have suffered the unimaginable in that terrible ce. Come in and freshen up and eat something good. Your favorites were cooked and served,e in."


    Fu Hua and YingPei exchanged nces.


    "Mum, howe I don''t see dad, where is he?." YingPei asked his mother as they walked into the house together.


    "Don''t you know how busy your father is? But he will be back soon since your grandfather is around." Fu Hee said.


    Shortly after Fu Hua and YingPei washed up, they came downstairs and met their grandfather on a call.


    And from the way he was smiling, they knew who he was speaking with. Their guesses were confirmed when he said ''goodbye Jia Li''.


    The dining area of the great Fu mansion was big to upy all the members of the family.


    But during this brunch, the avable people sat closer to each other.


    With grandfather Fu sitting at the head table, Fu Lei sat at his right side with Fu Hee sitting beside him. Then on his left side, Fu Hua was sitting there with Fu YingPei beside him.


    The only sounds that were heard came from the tes and cutlery.


    Fu Hua didn''t eat much before standing up to leave.


    "Excuse me, but I have an important meeting today concerning the next fashion show next month." Fu Hua announced.


    "You just came back and haven''t eaten much. Can''t the meetingeter?." Mrs. Fu Hee asked in a worried tone as the other watched on.


    "It''s important that I leave now. See youter..." Fu Hua said before walking away with turning back.


    "Which meeting is so important that he had to abandon his food?." Grandfather Fu asked, no one in particr.


    "I will check it out." Fu Lei said to him.


    "There is no need. Fu Hua is grown up now, he doesn''t need to be monitored. As a young man, he needs his privacy, don''t ever mention this." Grandfather Fu corrected his son.


    "Yes, Father." Fu Lei replied as he continued with his food.


    Fu Hua left the house to a familiar apartment. He keyed in the passcode before the door opened to him.


    The house was neatly arranged but reeked of a woman''s scent.


    He sat on the couch with his legs crossed before picking up his phone and sending a text.


    "Where are you?." He asked.


    Feng Alix smiled when she got the text. She was sitting in an office with a middle-aged woman staring at her.


    But when she remembered that her message was ignored by the sender a day ago, she lost interest but still replied casually.


    "Outdoor for a photoshoot."


    "Okay, I will wait!." Fu Hua replied.


    "I will wait?." Feng Alix asked herself as she was thrown into confusion by his reply.


    As if something dawned on her, she texted him back.


    "Are you back?."


    "What do you think?." Fu Hua replied immediately.


    Feng Alix screamed in excitement as she got up from her seat.


    "What is going on with you?." The woman sitting opposite from her asked with creased brows.


    "Well, my boyfriend is back now, so I have to go meet him." Feng Alix replied as she grabbed her purse from the table before walking away.


    "Alix?!." The woman called out to her, but Feng Alix did not respond.


    Three secondster, Fu Hua sent his location to Feng Alix, and she ended up screaming again before rushing out of the building.


    In a taxi, she texted him. "I''ll be right there."

 Chapter 19 - An Invitation To Shower Together

    <h4>Chapter 19 - An Invitation To Shower Together</h4>


    Feng Alix rushed back home but didn''t see anyone in her sitting room. She was a bit disappointed and had thought Fu Hua lied to her.


    She sat on her couch looking so dejected and was about to phone Fu Hua to give him a piece of her mind when she heard a deep male voice from behind her.


    "What are you doing?." Fu Hua asked.


    Feng Alix looked startled at first, before smiling as she recognized the voice.


    She stood up and walked behind the couch as their eyes met.


    "I was here thinking that someone had yed me, who knows it was false." Feng Alix said as she circled her arms around his neck.


    Fu Hua smiled and leaned in to peck her lips.


    "Go and take a shower." Fu Hua said to her as he slowly let go of her waist.


    "How about you join me?." Feng Alix said to him with an inviting tone, as she let go of his neck.


    "Is that an invitation?." Fu Hua asked in a teasing tone.


    "A clear invitation." Feng Alix replied in a coy tone as she stretched her arm towards him.


    "I can''t bear to resist the beauty, let''s go." Fu Hua said as he took her hand and led her to the washroom.


    They both stripped and got into the shower.


    As the water from the showerhead rained on them, Feng Alix ced a soft kiss on Fu Hua''s lips.


    "I missed you." She whispered in a seductive tone.


    "I miss you too." Fu Hua said before capturing her lips and giving her a deep kiss.


    They hugged each other and caressed each other''s bodies as their tongues explored each other''s mouths.


    There was a heated kiss going on right at this moment.


    From her lips, Fu Hua trailed kisses to her neck and corbone. Right above her blossom, he licked that area as their bodies pressed together.


    "Fu Hu, what are you doing? You asked me to take a shower..." Feng Alix said breathlessly as she weed his kisses.


    "And you invited me, that''s the reason I''m here." Fu Hua replied in between kisses.


    "Can we not do it in the bathroom?." Feng Alix pleaded in a sugary tone.


    "Why? You don''t like doing it here?." Fu Hua asked as he caressed her back with his gaze roaming all over her body.


    "I like doing it everywhere with you. I have a shoot this weekend, and I don''t want to catch a cold." Feng Alix exined.


    "Okay. Let''s get you cleaned up." Fu Hua said as he let go of her and grabbed the shower gel. He rubbed the liquid all over her body before sponging ???? her.


    They both took turns washing each other''s bodies.


    After drying their bodies, Fu Hua lived Feng Alix in his arms and carries her to the bedroom. Next, he ced her on the bed before jumping on top of her.


    Fu Hua trailed hot kisses all over her body, and Feng Alix reciprocated willingly.


    "I missed your body." Fu Hua whispered to her ears as he slipped his fingers in-between her legs and a soft moan escaped from her lips.


    "It looks like you missed me too." Fu Hua said in a low tone with a smirk on his lips.


    "Of course I missed you. Do you know how sad I was when you were gone?." Feng Alix asked in-between moans.


    "I am here now, to satisfy your desires and keep youpany." Fu Hua smiled and leaned in to kiss her chest area, as he moved his fingers along her clit.


    Feng Alix couldn''t conceal the pleasure she felt, so she let out a loud moan as she caressed Fu Hua''s back.


    "Do you like it?." Fu Hua asked in a deep voice as they locked eyes, with his fingers moving none stop.


    Feng Alix nodded in response but Fu Hua was not satisfied with her reply, so he moved a finger into her hole as hemanded in an authoritative tone.


    Feng Alix replied as she moaned out loud and moved her body in sync with the pleasure.


    "I like it."


    "Good." Fu Hua replied as he added another finger. He lowered his body next to hers and continued to move in and out of her.


    Feng Alix responded very well to his actions. She moaned and wed at his back.


    Two fingers were not enough, so Fu Hua added another one. And this time around, he moved faster. Bug when Feng Alix was at the peak of pleasure, he pulled his fingers out of her.


    Feng Alix seemed surprised by his actions. "Why did you stop?." She asked as she breathed heavily with her gaze on him.


    "Because I wanted to." Fu Hua replied with a smirk as he rolled off her body. He pulled open her bedside drawer and picked a condom.


    He tore it open and fixed it on his huge length, as Feng Alix had her gaze on him. She didn''t seem happy in any way, she looked unsatisfied.


    "Looks like someone is unsatisfied and is asking for something." Fu Hua teased as he knelt between her legs.


    Feng Alix looked away and wanted to turn over, but Fu Hua stopped her. He caught her legs and raised them as he slid his length near her entrance.


    "I will satisfy you." Fu Hua said to her as he rubbed his length on her clit and hope, thus igniting the fire that was earlier put out by him.


    "Fu Hua, you are teasing me a lot." Feng Alix said in a hushed tone as she closed her eyes and tried to move her legs, but they were held in ce.


    "Is that not what you want?. Do you want me to stop?." Fu Hua whispered as he kissed her lips and forced her to fix her gaze on him.


    "This is enough." Feng Alix said as she pushed him away from her body before immediately climbing over him.


    Next, she grabbed his length with her hand before sitting over it. She released a deep breath before she began to move herself against it.


    Fu Hua wasn''t surprised by her actions, because this wasn''t the first time she was riding him.


    Both let out a moan as they continued to move against each other. The bedroom was filled with their moans and the pleasant smell of sex.

 Chapter 20 - Reminiscing

    <h4>Chapter 20 - Reminiscing</h4>


    "I missed you." Fu Hua said as he kissed Feng Alix''s shoulder cape.


    They were currently lying in each other''s arms after their love affair. Because Feng Alix had her back to him, he was able to lie and hug her from behind.


    "Do you miss me or the s*x?." Feng Alix asked as she turned her body to face him.


    Fu Hua chuckled softly as he used his fingers to move her hair away from her face. "Of course I missed both."


    "Now I believe you." Feng Alix said with a smile as she hugged him.


    Fu Hua returned the hug as well. "Sleep." He whispered to her.


    "Are you going to disappear just like usual by the time I wake up?." Feng Alix asked with her gaze on him.


    Fu Hua let her go as he exined. "You know I''m very busy with the uing Autumn show. And my grandfather just came back so things are going to be pretty busy."


    "I know. How is your grandfather doing?." Feng Alix asked?


    "He is doing great. Now get some sleep." Fu Hua said as he patted her shoulder.


    "Knowing I won''t see you when I wake up, I don''t feel like sleeping anymore. I want to spend some time with you." Feng Alix said to him as they locked gazes.


    "Okay. So, what do you want to talk about?." Fu Hua said as he finally gave in to her.


    "How was your trip?. You''ve not told me about your encounter at that ce." Feng Alix inquired in a curious tone.


    Speaking of his encounter in the remote countryside, Fu Hua remembered somebody, a pretty soul.


    "There is nothing special at that ce." Fu Hua replied after waving the shbacks away.


    "At least you could tell me something." Feng Alix insisted.


    "Alix, why do you not want to listen to what I''m saying? There is nothing to talk about. YingPei and I went there to take care of my grandfather till he was willing toe home. The city can never bepared to the countryside." Fu Hua said.


    "Heh! Take it easy. I just wanted to know about your adventure. You are my boyfriend, remember?." Feng Alix said to him with her eyes glued on his face.


    "I know. I think I have to go now, see you some other time." Fu Hua said with a slight smile on his face before moving the sheets off his naked body.


    He got out of bed and got dressed in his clothes.


    "Why are you leaving now? Are you unhappy with me because I asked questions to know how you coped while looking after your grandfather?." Feng Alix asked as she sat up on the bed with the sheets hiding her naked body.


    "Alix, my leaving now has nothing to do with that. I don''t want to argue with you because I have other things want to spend my time on." Fu Hua said as he buttoned his shirt.


    "Fu Hua, most times I don''t get you. Your acting this way makes me think that something actually happened to you in the countryside." Feng Alix said to him.


    "Don''t question me that way! You are my girlfriend and not my mother. See you..." Fu Hua said as he took his jacket and walked away from the room.


    Feng Alix threw a pillow towards him, but that was after his back disappeared from her view. She pulled at her hair in anger before burying her face in-between her legs.


    Fu Hua drove into the night back to the Fu Vi. Everybody had already gone to bed except for his father who was sitting in the living room with a magazine in his hand.


    Fu Hua was surprised to see him, but then he maintains a normal facial expression as he walked towards him.


    "Dad, you''re still awake?." He asked.


    Looking up at his son, Fu Lei replied, "I was waiting for you."


    "You have something you want to talk to me about?." Fu Hua asked as he took a seat on another couch.


    "Do you have ns of settling down any soon?." Fu Lei asked as he folded the fashion magazine which belonged to thepany Fu Hua was the Chief Executive Officer, of...


    "Why the sudden the question?." Fu Hua asked.


    "I''m asking because I want to know your ns. You will be 30 towards the end of next month." Fu Lei replied with his gaze on him. He had a serious facial expression.


    "My age doesn''t mean anything. I have no ns of settling down soon. I want to continue giving my attention to work." Fu Hua replied.


    "Your goals are not bad, but you need to start thinking about how to settle down before somebody assists you with it. Do you have a girlfriend at the least?." Fu Lei asked.


    "None." Fu Hua replied almost immediately.


    "Then where are youing back from looking that way. Don''t get me wrong, I know you are an adult." Fu Lei asked.


    Because Fu Hua left his girlfriend''s ce in a hurry, he didn''tb his hair, and his shirt looked rumpled.


    "I went to hang out. The Autumn show will being up soon, and I am already under a lot of work pressure." Fu Hua replied.


    "I get it. Because you had to take care of your grandfather, you have a lot of work piled up that needs to be taken care of. One piece of advice to you, if you have a girlfriend, do introduce her to us as soon as possible." Fu Lei gave him a pointer before resuming back to the magazine he was reading.


    "I will, thank you!." Fu Hua replied before standing up and walking away.


    Fu Hua walked into his spacious bedroom. He turned on the lights before walking into his bathroom. He took a shower and changed into his nightclothes, before letting his head hit the pillow.


    As heid on his bed, shbacks from the countryside came to his thoughts. Without knowing, he was thinking about all his interactions with Jia Li.


    Feng Alix on the other hand wrapped herself up with the sheets with her fingers making a fist.


    "Maybe I shouldn''t have raised that question again, now he is angry with me." Feng Alix said to herself in frustration.

 Chapter 21 - Enough Attention Yesterday

    <h4>Chapter 21 - Enough Attention Yesterday</h4>


    The next morning, Feng Alix when to look for Fu Hua in his office. She was a top model on a contract for hispany.


    During the two fashion shows in the year Fu Hua''spany organized, she was one of the top models in the country that modeled for them.


    The workers knew her to have a close rtionship with their boss even though the rtionship was not defined.


    Now seeing her in thepany this early in the morning was not a surprise to them.


    "I''m here to see your boss." Feng Alix said at the receptionist''s desk.


    The twodies had a polite smile on their faces as one of them asked, "Do you have an appointment with him?"


    "No, I don''t. But the reason I''m here to see him is very important, so let me in." Feng Alix ordered.


    The two receptionists nced at the graceful model who had her hair let down. She was pitting on a spaghetti strapped short grey gown. She had a silver purse in hand and a pair of stiletto ???? on her feet.


    As she talked, the dangling earrings on her ears, moved about.


    "Miss Alix, if it''s work-rted matters, I''m sure your agency would set up an appointment with our boss. But if it''s for personal reasons, then the boss has to be aware you are here to see him." The receptionist replied as she exchanged nces with her partner.


    "Fine. Please call his office and inform him that I am here to see him." Feng Alix said as she rolled her eyes at them.


    The receptionists sighed as one of them picked up the telephone and made a call to Fu Hua''s office.


    "It''s Mia from the receptionist desk. Miss Alix says..."


    After the call, Mia dropped the telephone before informing Feng Alix that she could go up to see Fu Hua.


    "Thank you!." Feng Alix proudly said to them before leaving their sight.


    "She sure is arrogant." The other receptionist said to Mia.


    "Whatever it is, we just have to do our job well," Mia replied as they both got back to work.


    When the elevator arrived at Fu Hua''s office floor, Feng Alix catwalked towards Fu Hua''s office, totaling ignoring the people she met along the way.


    Now standing before Fu Hua''s door, she took a deep breath before knocking twice, then she opened the door.


    "Hello, Mr. Fu." Feng Alix greeted the busy Fu Hua before going ahead to take a seat before him.


    Fu Hua looked up at the pile of papers before him to see his girlfriend staring at him with all smiles.


    "I heard you wanted to see me, what''s the matter?." Fu Hua asked without any emotions on his face. But he definitely wasn''t angry with her like yesterday. The work must be so he tics for him.


    "I came to take you out for breakfast." Feng Alix replied with a smile.


    "No thank you, I had breakfast beforeing." Fu Hua rejected her.


    "Ok, that''s good. Since you''ve had your breakfast already, can you apany me to have mine?." Feng Alix requested with a pitiful look.


    Fu Hua who had his focus on the clothe sketches looked up from it.


    "Alix, you should know what time of the year it is. I''ve been absent from work for five and a half days. And now that I''m back, you should know how busy I will be. I don''t have time to apany you." Fu Hua said to her with his gaze on her.


    "The five and a half days you were away from work, you were also away from me. Do what''s wrong with asking my boyfriend to apany me for breakfast? I mean, I took my time with my dressing today, not just toe and stare at you but to go out with you." Feng Alix said with creased brows.


    "Didn''t I give you enough attentionst night?." Fu Hua asked as he resumed back on the sketches he was going through.


    "Fu Hua look, I''m sorry aboutst night. I forced you to leave when you sacrificed a little from your time to spend the night with me." Feng Alix apologized with her gaze on him.


    "I''m not holding anything against you if that''s why you came to see me this early in the morning. Alix, we have no business today, so you can go back." Fu Hua said to her as he picked up another sketch to study.


    "Are you saying you won''t apany me today because it''s not work-rted?." Feng Alix asked.


    "Even if it''s work-rted, I won''t have the time to see you. But if it''s urgent, you can meet my assistant." Fu Hua said as he pointed at the door for her, before putting down the sketch in his hand and picking out another one.


    "Fu Hua!." Feng Alix called out in a childish tone.


    Fu Hua put down everything in his hand and fixed his tired gaze on her.


    "Alix, can you please not do this, at least for today? I already have more than enough on my te. I will be so busy today I won''t have the time to apany you. You can go back. And when next you want to show up in my office unannounced, think twice." Fu Hua sad to her in a warning.


    Feng Alix had an unbelievable expression on her face.


    "Fu Hua it''s me, your girlfriend. Why are you treating me like any random girl?."


    "If you were a random girl to me, you wouldn''t be in my office talking to me." Fu Hua said it clearly to her.


    Feng Alix looked as if she was about to cry.


    Fu Hua knew his words were kind of harsh, so he said to her in a mild tone.


    "If you don''t want to leave now, I will order a cup of tea for you. You can leave when you are done with it, but just know I can not keep youpany today."


    Feng Alix heaved a sigh before picking up her purse and standing up. She gazed at Fu Hua for a few seconds before walking back to sit on the couch in his office.


    She crossed her legs and had her arms folded.


    Fu Hua sighed as he picked up the telephone ?? to make a tea order for Feng Alix.


    Three minutester, a female worker brought the tea for Fu Hua.


    "Give it to Miss Alix." Fu Hua said to the female worker, who in turn followed his instruction.


    Fu Hua went back to work after the female worker left his office. As for Feng Alix, she took her time drinking her tea.

 Chapter 22 - Whats So Hard About Apologizing?

    <h4>Chapter 22 - What''s So Hard About Apologizing?</h4>


    "Give it to Miss Alix." Fu Hua said to the female worker, who in turn followed his instruction.


    Fu Hua went back to work after the female worker left his office. As for Feng Alix, she took her time drinking her tea.


    While sipping her tea, she nced at Fu Hua who hadn''t bothered to spare her another nce.


    Feng Alix felt heartbroken at being ignored, and tears were threatening to drop from her eyes. So she had no choice but to abandon her cup of tea halfway.


    She left Fu Hua''s office without saying anything.


    Even after she left, Fu Hua didn''t raise his head till he was done approving the illustration designs for the Autumn fashion show.


    His eyes moved to the empty couch and the mug on his table.


    "When did she leave?." Fu Hua asked himself in a low tone.


    He picked up the telephone on his desk and dialed a number. He ryed a few instructions before dropping the call.


    He stretched his arms before picking up his cell phone from his desk. He found his girlfriend''s phone number and dialed it.


    After two rings, no one answered the calls.


    ''She must be angry.'' Fu Hua thought.


    Of course, Feng Alix was unhappy. Who could endure it when their beloved ones ignored them?.


    Seeing that she wasn''t answering his calls, he sent her a text, asking her to call him back when she was free.


    The Chief Fashion designer for the FJ styles knocked before walking into Fu Hua''s office. She was a woman in her early 40''s.


    "I have approved all of the designs, so you can take them and start production immediately. Don''t forget to choose the finest fabrics and raw materials. Please, inspect everything before production, during production, and after production. I will not tolerate any mistakes." Fu Hua said to the Chief Designer.


    "Of course, Sir. I will take my leave now." The Chief designer bowed before leaving with the stacks of illustration designs Fu Hua passed to her.


    A minuteter, Fu Hua''s assistant worked into his office.


    "Boss, this document needs your approval." His PA said as he passed the document to him.


    "Find somebody to clean up that mess." Fu Hua said to him while pointing at the leftover tea on his table.


    "I will take care of it." His PA replied before walking towards the couch. He picked up the teacup and left the office, while Fu Hua went through the documents that needed his approval.


    A few minutester, His PA returned. He took some wipes from the pack on the table and wiped the ss table with it, after which he threw the used wipes into the waste paper basket.


    Fu Hua saw his actions, but ignored them and went on to sign the documents before passing them to him.


    "I''ve signed the papers. Instruct the Heads of every department to submit their budget for the Autumn Fashion show to the Finance team, before this weekend. And on your way out, empty the waste paper basket." Fu Hua instructed with his gaze glued to his face.


    "Yes, Boss." His PA replied.


    On his way out with the documents, he took the water paper basket with him.


    Done with the current work, Fu Hua went unto the next. He worked till Lunch break. The only thing that caused him to pause with his work was the text he received from his mother.


    The text was generalized, which meant that she forwarded it to some other people as well.


    "A get-together?." Fu Hua asked himself with an indifferent look.


    He heaved a sigh before typing a reply. ''Got it.''


    Fu Hua massaged his temples with his fingers before picking up his phone again.


    After his text to Feng Alix, he hadn''t received any reply from her, and she didn''t return his calls, so he decided to phone her again.


    This time around, she answered the call and proceeded to speak first.


    "Mr. Fu, could you please call back, I''m very busy now." Feng Alix said through the phone.


    She was currently trying on dresses for her shoot this weekend.


    "I called to ask you for lunch, but since you are busy, let''s have lunch tomorrow." Fu Hua replied and ended the call before she could reply to him.


    Feng Alix felt so vexed that she ended up throwing her phone on the ground.


    The people in the fitting room with her screened out of shock.


    "What are you screaming for, pick the phone." Feng Alix instructed as she gave them a death re.


    One of the girls in the room picked up the phone and passed it to her.


    "Your screen is broken." The girl reported.


    "And so?." Feng Alix retorted without a care as she folded her arms.


    "Nothing." The girl replied before going back to her work.


    "I''m not in the mood to continue with the fitting." Feng Alix said as she picked up her bag before leaving the fitting room.


    Luckily, she was putting on her dress before leaving out of anger.


    Her manager who was waiting outside the door for her was surprised to here out so soon.


    "Are you through already?." She asked.


    "I''m not in the mood to continue, so please stay away from me." Feng Alix replied as she walked ahead without looking back.


    "Why does she sound angry?." The manager asked herself before walking into the fitting room to find out what caused her mood to change.


    When she got the whole details, she sighed. She spoke to the person in charge of the dress fitting to reschedule another appointment, before leaving.


    "He couldn''t even apologize! What''s so hard about saying, ''I''m sorry?!''. I had a lot of pride in me, but I still know to apologize sometimes. But he, he finds it so difficult!." Feng Alix screamed as she smashed things in her leaving room.


    She was so angry. She scratched her hair and pulled her shoe off her feet. She was looking like a crazy person now.

 Chapter 23 - Reunion Dinner

    <h4>Chapter 23 - Reunion Dinner</h4>


    Jia Li''s break just ended, so she has to go back to school. Luckily, her father was able to provide money for her college fees.


    "Mum, where did you keep the salt, I can''t find it." Jia Li announced from the kitchen. She was making dinner while her parents were in the living room watching the Tv.


    "It finished so I bought another one. Just look for it in the kitchen, you find it." Mrs. Qin replied with her eyes glued to the Tv.


    Jia Li felt so frustrated. Her mother can never change. When she buys new things, she forgets to put them in the rightful ce. But when you ask her about it so you can keep it properly, she won''t remember where she left them.


    Jia Li searched the shelves in the kitchen, but she didn''t find anything. She had toe out from the kitchen and do to the living room.


    Just before she could out of her mother, her attention was caught by a polythene bag on the dining table.


    She walked to the dining table and checked out the content only to figure out what it was.


    Jia Li was not in the mood to say anything, she took the polythene bag to the kitchen and resumed her cooking.


    "Jia Li, have you found the salt?." Mrs. Qin asked after a while.


    "Yes." Jia Li replied as she came out to set the dining table.


    Mr. Qun sniffed the air because he could perceive something.


    "This good girl is the food ready?." He asked as he turned his focus away from the Tv.


    "Yes, dad." Jia Li replied as she walked back into the kitchen. She turned off the gas and started to dish the food.


    "Wife, go and help her out." Mr. Qin whispered to his wife.


    "Do you think she is in a bad mood?." Mrs. Qun whispered back.


    "She looks unhappy. Maybe we can ask her after dinner." Mr. Qin replied.


    Mrs. Qin helped Jia Li to serve the dishes.


    As the family of three are, they made small talks. Jia Li''s response was not easily heard.


    After dinner, Jia carried the tes to the kitchen sink to wash them.


    "Jia Li, what''s wrong?." Mrs. Qin asked as she walked to Jia Li''s side.


    "You can tell something is bothering me?." Jia Li asked as she rinsed the tes under the tap water.


    "Of course, your father and I are not blind. Tell me, what''s wrong?." Mrs. Win asked.


    Jia Li turned off the tap before turning to her mother to say, "Mum, I''m just worried about Grandfather Fu, and I hope he is doing well."


    "Oh! You''re worried about the old man? Phone him then, you can talk to him and find out about his health." Mrs. Win suggested.


    "Well, I did yesterday, but he didn''t return my calls. Do you think he has forgotten about me?." Jia Li said in a dejected tone.


    "Old Mr. Fu doesn''t look like someone that would forget somebody so easily. Remember, he was in the army for years. Alright, don''t worry too much about him, he is fine. He has children and grandchildren to look after him. And maybe he has been too to look at his phone. Don''t worry, he will call you soon." Mrs. Qin said to her in a cating tone.


    And just like Mrs. Qin said, Grandfather Fu was currently dinner with his children and most of his grandchildren.


    "Okay. I will just wait for his call." Kia Li said as she took a te cloth to wipe the wet tes with.


    Mrs. Qin chuckled softly as she said, "look at you worrying about the Old Man, you must have really taken him as your grandfather."


    Grandfather Fu reminds me of my grandfather, so of course, I have to worry about him. Alright mum, go and meet father." Jia Li said to her mother as she arranged the tes on a kitchen rack.


    "Alright." Mrs. Qin said as she patted her back before living for the living room.


    Jia Li heaved a sigh of relief as she continued with her chores.


    Mrs. Qin went to the living room to join her husband to continue the Tv drama they were watching.


    "What did she say?." Mrs. Qin asked immediately his wife sat beside him.


    Mrs. Qin gave him the details, and he nodded with a smile. "Leave her be. Our daughter has reced her grandfather with Old Mr. Fu."


    "Ai! Have you heard from your Sister?." Mrs. Qin asked.


    "No, why?." Mr. Qin asked.


    "Nothing much. She is your only family member, so I''m worried about her on your behalf." Mrs. Qin replied.


    "I haven''t heard from her in a few months now. I guess she has a burden to bear. Her troublesome husband keeps on causing trouble for her. But I''m surprised she hasn''te to ask for my help in recent months." Mr. Qin said.


    "Maybe her husband has truly repented." Mrs. Qin replied.


    "Anyway, it''s left for them." Mr. Qin said as they continued to watch the Tv drama.


    After cleaning the kitchen, Jia said good night to her parents before retiring to her room.


    At the Fu Mansion, the dining area was quiet even though there were up to ten people having dinner there.


    The only sounds that could be heard were from their cutleries.


    Grandfather Fu had three children, two sons, and a daughter. His first son, which was Fu Hua''s father, had three children, two sons, and a daughter.


    Grandfather Fu''s second son, had a son and a daughter, while the only daughter of grandfather Fu, was married, but had no child.


    The only person that was missing at the dining table was, Fu Hua and YingPei''s Sister. She has been in Paris for two years now.


    Fu Hua''s mother organized this family banquet to make the old man happy. This was a family reunion after his recovery.


    Grandfather Fu was happy to see his family members around him, but he didn''t show it on his face, only his rating habits showed it. He ate his dinner heartily.

 Chapter 24 - Fu ChunHua Got Scolded

    <h4>Chapter 24 - Fu ChunHua Got Scolded</h4>


    Fu Hua''s mother organized this family banquet to make the old man happy. This was a family reunion after his recovery.


    Grandfather Fu was happy to see his family members around him, but he didn''t show it on his face, only his eating habits showed it. He ate his dinner heartily.


    "Dad, eat more vegetables." Fu Juang suggested to Old Mr. Fu.


    Fu Juang is the only daughter of retired Major General Fu. She is married but has no child.


    "Mmm." Old Mr. Fu hummed in response as he picked more vegetables for himself.


    Fu Hee smiled and wanted to contribute something, but Fu Lei pinched her.


    ''Ssss!'' Fu Hee hissed in pain. "Why did you pinch me?." She asked her husband in a low tone.


    "If you don''t want to ruin father''s appetite, then keep your mouth shut." Fu Lei whispered back to her in amanding tone.


    "That wasn''t necessary." Fu Hee said in an annoyed tone.


    "Fu Hee, what''s wrong, you don''t like the food? But you were the one that organized this dinner, howe you don''t like the food?." Fu ChunHua asked.


    Fu ChunHua is Old Mr. Fu''s second daughter-inw. She was married to Old Mr. Fu''s second son, Fu Geming. And she was the mother to a son and a daughter.


    Fu Hee and Fu ChunHua are not on good terms, and they always made trouble for each other, just like what Fu ChunHua is trying to do now.


    As Fu ChunHua raised this question with a harmless smile on her face, all the family members at the dining table, turned to nce at Fu Hee.


    ''Stupid woman! You are trying to get me in trouble.''


    With Fu ChunHua saying this, it would ruin Old Mr. Fu''s mood if care wasn''t taken.


    Fu Hee organized a Family banquet to wee the head of the Fu family back to the house, but she is making a fuss over the food she oversaw being made?


    That was a useless excuse that Grandfather Fu would not tolerate. And if she didn''t say anything good to counter what she said, this family banquet she organized, would be fruitless.


    Seeing everyone''s gaze on her, Fu Hee faked a chuckle as she replied immediately.


    "ChunHua, what are you saying? I organized this banquet, so how can I be unhappy with it?." Fu Hee asked.


    "But just now, your face was squeezed in a frown as if you are unhappy we are having a family time together after a long time." Fu ChunHua retorted back.


    Grandfather Fu totally ignored them, so as other members of the family. They continued to eat their food and left the two women to sort themselves out.


    "ChunHua, you really know how to joke. If you bite your tongue while eating, will you be able to keep a smile on your face for the next few seconds?." Fu Hee asked her with a taunting smile.


    "You..." Fu ChunHua said with a frown, but she was cut off by Fu Hee''s next words.


    "Alright, don''t make trouble and disrupt this peaceful dinner. Father likes to eat his meal in peace."


    What Fu Hee meant was that she was making trouble and purposely wanted to ruin Old Mr. fu''s dinner, since everybody knew he liked to eat in peace.


    "Fu Hee, you know that is not what I mean!." Fu ChunHua said in a raised tone. She was so choked up with anger.


    "Whether you mean or not, you have to stop arguing and eat." Fu Hee said to her with a smile.


    Fu ChunHua was enraged and was about to scream at her when Old Mr. Fu dropped his chopsticks and he chewed the food in his mouth in silence.


    The sound of his chopsticks making contact with the ceramic te was loud and caused everybody''s attention to be drawn to it.


    "Enough!." Fu Geming said to his wife in an authoritative tone. His voice was neither loud nor too low.


    Fu ChunHua respected herself and picked up her chopsticks to continue eating.


    Fu Hua and Fu Yingpei exchanged nces before they continued eating.


    It looks like the old man was about to erupt in anger, so the best way to savor the situation was to keep quiet.


    Having swallowed the food in his mouth, Old Mr. Fu took some seconds off to nce at each person sitting at the dining table.


    He watched their actions and took not of it. Then, his eyes rested on Fu Hee as he called out to her in a calm and steady tone, "Fu Hee."


    Fu Hee was almost frightened, but she managed to keep her cool. She smiled as she dropped her chopsticks before looking at the old man.


    "Yes, father." She answered with a warm smile.


    "Next time if you want to organize a family banquet for me, ask for the opinion of the people you are inviting, so they know that they can''t make trouble when they ept the invitation. Don''t give an order, extend an invitation. I won''t be angry if they don''t honor it. But I will not tolerate it when they ept the invitation ande and make trouble for me, is that clear?." Grandfather Fu questioned with a peaceful look on his face.


    "Yes, father." Fu Hee replied with a smile.


    "As for those that are not happy with this banquet, forgive Fu Hee. But since you are here, enjoy the food and don''t make trouble, otherwise, you can leave at once." Grandfather Fu said as he nced at each member of the family.


    After saying his piece, Old Mr. Fu picked up his chopsticks and continued eating, so as the rest of the family members. Initially, they paused with their food when he was speaking.


    Fu ChunHua was the only very pissed, but she had no choice but to be quiet and continue eating.


    She just heard it from the Old Man now, that if anybody made trouble, he would chase the person out of the house, so did she dare to make trouble? Of course, the answer was ''NO''.


    Fu ChunHua had to swallow all her grievances and continue to eat.


    As for Fu Hee, she was the happiest person in the dining room. She was happy that her enemy Fu ChunHua got indirectly avoided by the old man, now she can eat her dinner in peace.

 Chapter 25 - Let Everyone Have A Taste

    <h4>Chapter 25 - Let Everyone Have A Taste</h4>


    As for Fu Hee, she was the happiest person in the dining room. She was happy that her enemy Fu ChunHua got indirectly scolded by the old man, now she can eat her dinner in peace.


    After they were done eating, the servants took the tes away and served them deserts.


    Chun-hee was very unhappy and couldn''t even enjoy the sweet deserts. And having found another opportunity to look for trouble, she eyed Fu Hee before slowly speaking up.


    "Fu Hee, you really did not put father into consideration when ordering the chefs to prepare these deserts."


    "What do you mean?." Fu Hee asked with a confused facial expression as she looked up to see the scorned look on her face.


    Fu Chun Hee faked a worried look she spoke up. "Maybe you''ve forgotten, so, I will do you the honor of reminding you. Father is already so old, and he just recovered, serving him these sweet desserts, what were your ns?."


    Fu Hee scoffed as she spoke up, gracefully. "I think you should ask questions before you conclude. Father chose the deserts himself, so I ordered the kitchen to prepare them for him. And, the sugar content in the deserts is less than ours, because I put his age and health into a lot of consideration. Maybe if you were in the house always, you wouldn''t keep making mistakes."


    Fu Chun He''s looked shock to learn that the old man chose the deserts he wanted and that there was a difference in their sugar content, even though they were eating the same thing.


    Fu Chun Hee nced at the old man whoughed repeatedly as he enjoyed his deserts.


    Now ncing back to Fu Hee, she caught the smug look on her face.


    Fu Geming nced at his wife with an unhappy expression on his face, but his dear wife was too angry to notice it.


    "Ah! Then it''s my bad. I misunderstood you." Fu Chun Hee hurriedly said before the old man would get angry with her.


    She didn''t even apologize to Fu He''s, because she felt it wasn''t necessary. But admitting her wrong was already a p to her face.


    "Chun Hee, this is a family banquet that hasn''t been hosted in several months. Maybe you should be quiet and savor the taste of these mouth-watering dishes." Fu Juan said to her with a smile before looking back at her deserts.


    "You''re right sister-inw." Fu Chun Hee said through gritted teeth as she reluctantly picked her spoon to eat her dessert.


    Fu Hee gave herself a toast in her mind, for defeating Fu ChunHua repeatedly today.


    "I think you should stop talking and eat your food if you don''t want to get thrown out through the doors of this house my father." Fu Geming whispered to her in an annoyed tone.


    "Am I not allowed to talk anymore?." Fu ChunHua whispered back with a frown on her face.


    "Who said you couldn''t talk? But don''t you think you''ve caused enough trouble? You didn''t even win any around, and you still n to be nominated? If father sends you out of the house tonight, nobody will apany you back, just remember that." Fu Geming said to her in a hushed tone, before sitting properly and eating his deserts as if nothing happened.


    ''Fine. Even you are insulting me that I was defeated by Fu Hee. Just wait and see." Fu ChunHua said to herself as she squeezed her fist in anger. But when her eyes met with Fu Hee''s victorious look, she smiled back at her as if she wasn''t hurt by her attentions.


    "Father, you can try the fruit wine, it is healthy and contains a little percent of alcohol for preservation." Fu Hee said as she introduced the bottle of fruit wine to him.


    A servant who had been standing behind the old man stepped forward and picked up the bottle of fruit wine when she heard Fu Hee''s words.


    She opened the fruit wine and poured some into the Old man''s wine ss. Then she closed the bottle back and took some steps backward.


    Old Mr. Fu picked up the wine ss and took some sips from it, then he nodded his head in approval.


    "The wine has a relinquishing taste and great quality." Old Mr. Fu added.


    "I had someone get this wine for you, I''m d you like it. Drink some more." Fu Hee said with a radiant smile as she gestured to the servant to or more wine for the old man.


    Fu ChunHua was seething while Fu Hee was all smiles.


    "Fu Hee, you won''t give some to us to have a taste?." Fu Juan asked with her gaze on her.


    "Yes... Yes. It''s so unfair that you gave the wine to father and left us out." Fu Geming added.


    Fu Hee smiled as she answered to them, "Sorry, but the wine belongs to Father now. If you want to have a taste, you ask father for some of it."


    Fu Geming looked away, while Fu Juan nced at the Old Man who looked up and nced at them.


    "Let everyone have a taste." He announced as he rxed his back on the seat.


    "Thank you, Father." Fu Juan said as the servant stepped forward to pick up the wine, before going round to make sure everybody at the table has a little quantity of the wine in their ss.


    "How is the taste?." Fu Hee asked with her gaze on Fu Geming.


    "The wine is of good quality." Fu Geming replied with a smile before downing the whole thing. But then, he received a pinch from his wife, but he ignored her.


    "Geming is such a waste to down that fine wine that way." Fu Juan said with pity in her voice as she took her time, drinking from her wine ss.


    "Yes, now, all your wine is gone." Fu Lei said, making small talks.


    Fu Geming nced at his empty wine ss before ncing at everybody''s wine ss and then he noticed that everybody still had something in their cup.


    "Dad, I would have loved to give you some of mine, but unfortunately, I don''t have enough for myself." Fu Meixu, the only female in Fu Hua''s generation, spoke.


    Fu Meixu was the daughter of Fu Geming and Fu ChunHua. She was also Fu Huan and Fu YingPei''s cousin.


    "It''s alright, drink your wine. You never wanted to give it to men in the first ce." Fu Geming said to his daughter as he carried on with eating his deserts.

 Chapter 26 - Fu ChunHuas Drama At The Dining Table

    <h4>Chapter 26 - Fu ChunHua''s Drama At The Dining Table</h4>


    "It''s alright, drink your wine. You never wanted to give it to me in the first ce." Fu Geming said to his daughter as he carried on with eating his deserts.


    Everyone chuckled softly, apart from Fu Hua who seemed to be absent-minded.


    "Hey! What are you thinking about?." YingPei asked in a low tone as he nudged Fu Hua with his arm.


    Fu Hua nced at him as he replied, "Work."


    "Oh! Do you think about anything apart from work?." YingPei asked with creased brows.


    "I can see you are very free. Why don''t youe and help out in thepany? Come with your resume to the office on Monday, I will interview you personally." Fu Hua informed him before looking away.


    "What?!." ???? YingPei said in an audible tone, attracting the attention of the other members of the family.


    "What is it?." Fu Wei Lei asked with a frown.


    "It''s nothing," YingPei replied quickly and added an apology.


    "YingPei, you have been idle since you came back, have you thought of what you eat to do?." Grandfather Fu asked with his gaze on him.


    YingPei let out a painfulugh as he replied, "No, grandfather I''m still adjusting to the environment. I will think of somethingter."


    "If you still don''t know what to do with your life, go and join the Army." Grandfather Fu said to him and looked easy without another word.


    "What?! Grandfather are you joking?." YingPei said in surprise with his wide eyes.


    Grandfather Fu red at him, totaling ignoring him.


    "Brother, help me out!." YingPei said to Fu Hua with gritted teeth.


    Fu Hua nced at him before looking at their grandfather.


    "Grandfather, I already have work for him to do at the office. He would be joining us next week. There is much workload in the office since the Autumn show ising up, we need more hands." Fu Hua said, speaking up for his brother.


    "If that is the case, he should join thepany as soon as possible. But if I see him idling around, he will have to join the army." Grandfather Fu said in a final statement.


    "Thank you, Grandfather!." YingPei said gratefully.


    Fu Hee was relieved that her son wasn''t going to join the army. Just now, she was scared when the old man gave that suggestion.


    "Thank your brother." Old Mr. Fu said to him.


    YingPei turned to Fu Hua with a smile on his face to say a word of thanks to him.


    "It''s nothing, just stay out of trouble." Fu Hua said to him before minding his business.


    "Yes," YingPei replied as he nodded.


    Just now, Fu ChunHua was almost happy that YingPei was going to be sent to join the army, and then she would have something to gloat to Fu Hee about.


    "Grandfather, I want to help out for the Autumn show as well." Fu Meixu said to Grandfather Fu.


    "If you need help with anything that has to do with thepany, meet Fu Hua, don''te to me." Grandfather Fu said to her.


    Fu Meixu sulked for being shunned by the old man. Swallowing her pride, she turned to Fu Hua to say with a sweet smile.


    "Brother Hua, can I join the models for the show?."


    "Tell your agency to submit your profile to the HR department if you are interested. If you meet the criteria, you will be informed and selected to be among the models for the show." Fu Hua said to her in a business tone.


    Fu Meixu looked annoyed as she thinned like a child.


    Fu ChunHua felt that Fu Hua had gone too far, and was being unjust to her daughter


    "Fu Hua, how can you treat your cousin that way? We are one family, you don''t have to treat her like she is an outsider." Fu ChunHua spoke to Fu Hua like the righteous woman she was.


    "Aunty this is strictly, business. When ites to thepany, I can not bend the rules for anybody. If Meixu meets the criteria for the models needed for the show, I will make sure she gets in. But if she doesn''t, she will have to try next time." Fu Hua said to her in a business-like tone. He didn''t even bother to mince his words at all.


    "Fu Hua, this is so unfair. Look at how you''re treating your cousin, is it fair? But just now, you said you already have a job for YingPei, but he didn''t even follow the protocols of thepany, this is unjust!." Fu ChunHua pointed out in anger


    "Aunty, you''re getting it all wrong. My brother asked me toe to thepany on Monday for an interview, so I''m definitely not getting into thepany through the backdoor." YingPei exined with a smile.


    "Oh! You haven''t taken the interview yet, but your brother already said to your grandfather that he has a job for you, what do you mean?!." Fu ChunHua said in a heavy tone.


    YingPei was speechless with his Aunt''s drama. Everybody knew that Fu Hua just helped him out from being sent to the army and that''s the reason he told grandfather Fu he already had a job offer for him.


    But now, it looks like his Aunt was making trouble for them.


    "ChunHua, what do you mean?. Before you use anybody, think if your words are making sense or not." Fu Hee said to her, shootingsers from her eyes.


    Fu Hee very well knew what Fu ChunHua was driving at. She wanted to make trouble for her sons, but she would not allow her to seed.


    "Oh! Now you think it''s unfair for your sons that I say the truth?." Fu ChunHua said to Fu Hee before turning to Grandfather Fu to continue...


    "Father, you have to render justice. Fu Hua is partial with his treatment. He helps his blood brother to get into thepany through the back door, but he refuses to help his cousin sister work for thepany."


    YingPei wanted to say something, but Fu Hua stopped him, so YingPei could only keep quiet and wait for the old Man''s verdict.


    Fu Geming tried to stop his wife from talking, but she wouldn''t even listen to him, so he let her be.


    As for Fu Hee, she was very angry, but she couldn''t do anything, and could only wait for the Old Man to speak.

    <h4>Chapter 27 - Fu ChunHua''s Drama At The Dining Table II</h4>


    Fu Geming tried to stop his wife from talking, but she wouldn''t even listen to him, so he let her be.


    As for Fu Hee, she was very angry, but she couldn''t do anything, and could only wait for the Old Man to speak.


    "Fu Hua is the Boss of FJ Styles, so every final decision in thepany should be made by him. but now you are involving me, let me make one thing straight. Anybody that wants to get into thepany, must go through the rules and protocols of thepany. nobody is entering through the backdoor." Grandfather Fu said to them in a calm manner as he eyes nced at each of them.


    Grandfather Fu''s words were the final say, and nobody would dare to go against it.


    Fu ChunHua looked annoyed with the Old Man"s decision. she thought he would punish the brothers, but it now looks like he had other ns which wouldn''t benefit her in any way.


    Fu Hee smiled triumphantly as a smirk turned up on her lips, she gave Fu ChunHua a provocative smile, which was reciprocated by a scorned look from her enemy.


    Fu Meixu looked annoyed as she couldn''t even hide her annoyance. She had a frown sitting on her face after her grandfather''s decision, because it didn''t suit well with her.


    old Mr. Fu nced at his stubborn granddaughter and looked away without a care. it was Fu Juan that said something to her.


    "Meixu, I think you should be happy with your grandfather''s decision. If you get into FJ styles through your capabilities, it will be more appreciated, and you will be proud of it. but if you get in through the backdoor, others will think is unfair. And by the way, why do you need to be sad, unless you are not confident with your capabilities, and not sure of getting it if the rules should be put in ce."


    Fu Meixu looked more annoyed at her Aunt''s speech, but she didn''t dare to say anything because she was scared of the old man.


    YingPei looked relieved after his grandfather settled the matter. Now, his Aunt wouldn''t make trouble for them so easily.


    "YingPei, I will monitor your work progress to be sure you''re not cking off. if not, the other option of joining the army is still avable." Grandfather Fu said yo him.


    "Huh!." YingPei said with his mouth agape ????. He didn''t know why his grandfather was still interested in sending him to the army.


    Grandfather Fu eyed him with a disappointed look on his face.


    Hearing the Old man mentioning about the army again, Fu Hee''s brows creased up in a frown.


    ''Why is he still thinking about sending my son to the army?.'' She asked herself.


    As for Fu ChunHua, trust that she would be happy with everything that goes against Fu Hee''s wishes. Just like right now, she is rejoicing in her heart.


    Fu Hua nced at YingPei and signaled him with his eyes. that eye sign was telling him toply with the old man.


    Thankfully, YingPei understood the sign, so he smiled to the Old man as he agreed to his opinion.


    "Of course grandfather. I will work hard because I don''t want to go to the army. But Grandfather, I just came back and do not have any work experience here, so things might not be too easy for me for a start."


    "Stopining. A real man doesn''tin at the time of battle. He faces it with his wits and fists." Grandfather Fu advised.


    "Thank you, Grandfather." YingPei said with a smile.


    Fu ChunHua rolled her eyes, but unfortunately for her, she was caught by Grandfather Fu. Their gazes locked and she was so scared for her life.


    The desert spoon in her hand made a loud noise as if fell from her hand and dropped in her ceramic te.


    She was still so shocked with what just happened that she didn''t know she had drawn attention to herself.


    Fu Hee wanted to know what frightened the annoying woman, so she followed her gaze to the old man and was in time to see him look away from Fu ChunHua''s direction.


    ''How did she offend the old man?.'' Fu Hee asked herself as she continued eating.


    "Fu Hee?." GrandFather called out slowly, as he everybody looked up at him to hear what he wanted to say.


    "Thank you for organizing this banquet for me, although I wasn''t allowed to enjoy it. I like the wine. Next time, ask your friend to being a carton of it, over. Don''t forget what I said to you earlier. If you want to host another banquet, send an invite." Grandfather Fu said as he got up from his seat.


    "Yes, Father." Fu Hee replied with a smile.


    Grandfather Fu said good night to them and they returned the greeting before he walked away from their presence.


    When the old man mentioned about not being able to enjoy the banquet, everybody knew who he was referring to, but they didn''t make the guess obvious.


    After Grandfather Fu left, Fu Lei didn''t see the need to stay anymore, so he took an excuse and left.


    "Aiyah! Some people are so partial with their ways that they can''t seem to hide it anymore." Fu ChunHua said with a sigh and she sent a spoon of food into her mouth.


    Fu Hee scoffed andpletely ignored her because she felt that bickering with her was going to lower her standards.


    Fu Juan put down her spoon as she gave Fu ChunHua a kind reminder.


    "ChunHua if you continue in this way, there may not be a next time for you. Father left you today, but tomorrow, he may really throw you out of the house just like he said. He is leaving you now so that when he makes a decision, nobody will be able to stop him from enforcing it. So you better be careful."

 Chapter 28 - Brought Up In A Lowly Family

    <h4>Chapter 28 - Brought Up In A Lowly Family</h4>


    Fu Juan put down her spoon as she gave Fu ChunHua a kind reminder.


    "ChunHua if you continue in this way, there may not be the next time for you. Father left you today, but tomorrow, he may really throw you out of the house just like he said. He is leaving you now so that when he makes a decision, nobody will be able to stop him from enforcing it. So you better be careful."


    The smile on Fu ChunHua''s face was wiped off her face. Right now she was annoyed because everybody seemed to have a problem with her, but not Fu Hee.


    ''Was Fu Hee better than her? Not possible.'' She thought to herself.


    This time around, Fu ChunHua called it quits and ate her food in peace.


    Throughout the dinner, the only person that didn''t say a word was Fu Geming and Fu ChunHua''s son, Fu Ling. He was Fu Meixu''s older brother.


    "Son, do you want more?." Fu ChunHua asked, seeing that he was about to leave the dining table.


    "No, thank you." Fu Ling replied. Then, he thanked Fu Hee respectfully before leaving the dining area.


    "Ah! it''s really good to have a son that doesn''t give you troubles." Fu ChunHua said with a proud smile after watching her son walk away.


    Fu Hee scoffed and looked away.


    Fu Hua wiped his lips and got up to leave.


    "You''re leaving already?." Fu Hee asked, not surprised by his actions.


    "Yeah. I have a lot of work to do, so I will get going." Fu Hua replied before walking away.


    "Brother, I''ming with you," YingPei said as he wiped his lips to join Fu Hua.


    "Ah! What bad luck tock table manners." Fu ChunHua said with her gaze on her food.


    Fu Hee heard what she said, in fact, everybody at the dining table did. They would be fools if they didn''t know what she was talking about.


    A frown turned up on Fu Hee''s face, so she was about to say something to her when YingPei beat her to it.


    YingPei hadn''t gone far when Fu ChunHua said those words, so he paused in his steps to give her a piece of his mind before walking away.


    "Aunt, have you heard the saying that goes this way, It is better to be true to yourself than to pretend to be what you are not?."


    Fu ChunHua almost choked on the food in her mouth as she watched YingPei walk away casually.


    Fu Hee couldn''t hold herughter as she chuckled happily. Fu ChunHua turned her gaze to re at her.


    Fu Geming couldn''t tolerate his wife''s childishness any longer, so he walked away from the dining area with a scowl on his face.


    "Why are you looking at me that way? Am I not allowed tough?." Fu Hee asked Fu ChunHua, as she couldn''t continue to hold that life anymore.


    "Thank you for the dinner." Fu Juan said to Fu Hee as she stood up from her seat before walking away.


    Fu Hee returned the appreciation with a smile before turning back to see Fu ChunHua''s ugly face.


    "Are you finding all of this funny?." Fu ChunHua asked in an annoyed tone as she pointed with her finger.


    Fu Hee stoppedughing and cleared her throat before conveying her thoughts.


    "For your information, I am not happy that you sent my guest away with your stupidity. You couldn''t even contain the fact that you were brought up in a lowly family. Since you asked for my opinion, I will tell you the truth. I think you deserve the reactions you got tonight."


    "What?! What did you just say to me?." Fu ChunHua asked. She was fuming right now. Even her daughter who was sitting beside her felt that her Aunt had gone too far with the insults.


    She was angry that Fu Hee brought up her family background.


    "You heard me right. Now if you will excuse me, I have a better ce that needs my presence, enjoy your night!." Fu Hee said to her before walking off.


    "Did she just talk about my family?." Fu ChunHua asked with a twisted expression on her face.


    "Mum is okay, don''t do anything that will make grandpa drive you away." Fu Meixu said to her mother as she tried to calm her down.


    Fu ChunHua hated the fact she was back to this ce where she had to follow the old man''s rules. She couldn''t even scream to let out her anger.


    She couldn''t use curse words, and she couldn''t break things to vent her anger or she will be punished.


    In the old man''s house, if you break or destroy anything in the house deliberately, you will pay twice the amount of it.


    With all these rules, Fu ChunHua couldn''t vent her anger, and could only swallow everything down.


    Her fists were tightly gripping the table clothes and were on the verge of destroying them.


    "That..." She started to say but stopped halfway as she was about to use a curse word on Fu Hee.


    "Just wait, I will get you soon!." She promised before leaving the dining area with her daughter following after her.


    The servant that has been standing behind the old man''s empty seat waved bed hands, and the other servants appeared to clean up the dining area.


    "Brother, do you think Fu Ling is as innocent as he looks?." Fu YingPei asked Fu Hua. They were both in the bedroom that belonged to one of them.


    "I don''t know. Fu Ling''s thoughts are hard to tell because he doesn''t give his emotions away. Is likely that he doesn''t care about anything, or he is pretending." Fu Hua replied.


    "Ah! I''m so confused." YingPei said as he scratched his hair.


    "Go to sleep, and don''t disturb me, I have work to do." Fu Hua said to him as he steeled in his seat and desk as he picked up a file and opened it.


    "I don''t feel sleepy,y," YingPei said as he went to seat on the bed.


    "If you don''t want to sleep, it''s left for you, but leave my room, I don''t want any form of distractions." Fu Hua said to him.


    He wanted to work right now, and he knew there was no way his brother would remain quiet as he worked it wasn''t possible.

 Chapter 29 - Her Profile Couldnt Get Her Into FJ Styles

    <h4>Chapter 29 - Her Profile Couldn''t Get Her Into FJ Styles</h4>


    "If you don''t want to sleep, it''s left for you, but leave my room, I don''t want any form of distractions." Fu Hua said to him.


    He wanted to work right now, and he knew there was no way his brother would remain quiet as he worked it wasn''t possible.


    "Brother, do you have a girlfriend?." YingPei asked, but he received a re from Fu Hua for asking that question.


    "Alright... Alright, good night." YingPei said as he raised his hand in surrender, before walking out of the room.


    Fu Hua sighed in relief as he nced at his tightly shut doors. Thinking about his girlfriend, he hadn''t heard from her in a while, was she angry with him? He thought...


    Picking up his phone from his desk, he checked for messages and missed calls from her, but he didn''t see any.


    Let his pride get to him, he dialed her number. It rang twice, but nobody answered. He didn''t give up and dialed her number again, and this time around, the call got connected.


    "Hey!." Fu Hua said.


    "Hello, Mr. Fu." Feng Alix greeted in a firmer tone.


    "Are you angry with me?." Fu Hua asked.


    "How can I? I''m not angry, it''s just that I was sleeping before your call woke me up." Feng Alix replied with indifference.


    "Are you drinking again?." Fu Hua asked after a moment of silence.


    Feng Alix nced at the beer in her hand before sighing. "How do you know that?." She asked.


    "I just know. At least I''ve known you for a year and I am well aware of your habits. Don''t drink too much, and go to sleep early. I just called to check up on you." Fu Hua said to her.


    "Good night." Feng Alix said to him just before he disconnected the call.


    Keeping his phone aside, Fu Hua got back to work. But just then, he became distracted as he saw a few images on the paper he had in his hand.


    His thoughts right now were filled with Jia Li. And the way he remembered her, was the naive part of her.


    ''Why am I thinking about her?.'' He thought. He was confused, because he already had a girlfriend, and Jia Li was not the kind of woman he liked, so why on earth was he thinking about her?


    Forcing himself to get rid of those thoughts, he went back to the pile of work he had to do.


    As for Feng Alix, she finished the can of beer she had in her hand, before going to sleep.


    The next morning, everybody had breakfast at different time intervals, before leaving the house.


    Old Mr. Fu had just finished eating when a servant brought his phone to him.


    "Master, your phone." The servant said as she left the phone on the table before leaving.


    Picking up his phone and checking it out, he saw missed calls from some people and messages. But the only one that caught his attention, was the calls and texts from Jia Li.


    "Thisss must have been worried about me." Old Mr. Fu said to himself with a smile as he read the texts from Jia Li.


    Old Mr. Fu phoned Jia Li after reading her texts.


    Jia Li was happy when she got the old man''s call, and she kept asking about his health and was relieved to find out everything was okay with him.


    Old Mr. Fu and Jia Li conversed for a while. When Fu Lei came to speak to the Old Man about something, he saw him smiling andughing on the phone.


    Thest he remembered, the old man doesn''tugh with people over the phone unless he was speaking to an old friend.


    "Who is he talking to?." Fu Lei muttered to himself, before walking away.


    After the call ended, Old Mr. Fu''s face was filled with a happy smile. His countenance made him look approachable, thanks to Jia Li.


    After the discussion at the dining tablest night, Fu Meixu knew there was no way for her to get into FJ styles with Fu Hua''s help, and nobody could interfere with anything that has to do with FJ styles unless Fu Hua gives the permission.


    Now knowing that there was no way for her, as she couldn''t get in through the backdoor, she went to her agency to talk to them.


    Meeting her manager, she asked him to send her profile to FJ styles.


    "I thought your family owns FJ styles, so why do you want me to submit your profile when you could just get in through the back door?." Her manager asked with a look of confusion.


    "I am so righteous and like straightforwardly doing things. I don''t want to bebeled as someone who uses the connection to make way for herself." Fu Meixu lied.


    "If you continue having these thoughts, you will not go far in this industry. And besides, I don''t think your profile will get you into that ce, you are not popr." Her manager said to her in all honesty.


    "I know I am not popr, just do what I asked you to do." Fu Meixu said to him in gritted teeth ????.


    "Okay." Her manager said as he agreed to submit her profile to FJ styles.


    Fu Meixu couldn''t bear to say the truth, because she was ashamed. How could she tell her manager, of people that her cousin refused to help her into thepany after she pleaded with him? That is so shameful.


    And not just her cousin, even her grandfather that had the authority of making leeway for her, disagreed for her to be helped. She could only get into thepany, through hard work.


    She said she was righteous, but we were far from it. She was only pretending to keep her face.


    The worst thing that could happen to her and cause her to be disgraced as if she ended up not getting picked after submitting her profile, would be a huge p and embarrassment to her.

 Chapter 30 - Request Approved

    <h4>Chapter 30 - Request Approved</h4>


    She said she was righteous, but she was far from it. She was only pretending to keep her face.


    The worst thing that could happen to her and cause her to be disgraced, is if she ended up not getting picked after submitting her profile, that would be a huge p and embarrassment to her.


    When Fu Meixu went back that day, she called her mother into her room to speak with her.


    "Mum, you have to help me. Today, I asked my manager to submit my profile to FJ styles, but he said my profile was empty and not recognizable, even if he submitted it, I wouldn''t be epted." Fu Meixuined.


    "What does he mean your profile is empty?." Fu ChunHua asked in an unhappy tone.


    "Mum, you have to fight for me. Just because I''m a newbie, Brother Fu Hua doesn''t want to give me a chance." Fu Meixu said in an aggrieved tone.


    "Don''t worry, I will do something about it. It''s time for someone to pay his debts." Fu ChunHua said with a nk look on her face.


    "Mum, you''re going to help me?." Fu Meixu asked in an excited tone. She had a smile on her face as she held her mother''s arm.


    "Of course I will help you. Since your cousin doesn''t want to help you, I will. I will not let them monopolize everything." Fu ChunHua promised.


    "Thank you, Mum." Fu Meixu said as she hugged her mother with a happy smile.


    Fu Meixu knew her mother had her ways, and knew how to get around things. So asking for her mother''s help, was the right thing to do since she wanted to get into FJ styles.


    "There is no need. You''re my daughter." Fu ChunHua said to her.


    Fu Meixu''s manager, met with the board of their agency to get approval before submitting her profile to FJ, they didn''t approve of it, but the manager managed to convince them to take it as a trial.


    Initially, they didn''t want to agree because Fu Meixu was a newbie, and they had already forwarded the profiles of three of their models to FJ, but Fu Meixu''s manager somewhat convinced them.


    Immediately the request was approved, Fu Meixu''s manager called to inform her about the progress, and she jumped up happily.


    This was her starting point, she has crossed the first stage, and now going to the next. She would just sit at home and wait for her mother to take care of things at the other end.


    Back at the Qin''s residence, Jia Li had just dressed up to leave the house with her school bag when her mother called her into the kitchen.


    "Jia Li, I made lunch for you, take it." Mrs. Qin said to her as she handed a bag over to her, the bag contained her lunch box.


    "Oh, but mum you didn''t have to do this." Jia Li said as she took the bag from her.


    "What do you mean, take it and enjoy. If you can''t make it back to the house on time today, sleepover there." Mrs. Qin said to her.


    "Okay, mum." Jia Li replied before waking out of the kitchen.


    Jia Li was going to school today, so she might not be back home if she finishedte from school.


    "Jia Li?." Mr. Qin said as he called her over. "What do you have in your hands?." He asked.


    "Mum gave me lunch." Jia Li replied.


    "I can not be left out, here, have this." Mr. Qin said with a smile as he dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out some money to give to her.


    "Thank you, dad." Jia Li said happily before leaving his sight.


    "Why do I feel like she appreciated the money more than the food I gave to her?." Mrs. Qin asked as she walked out of the kitchen. Who knew that she had been watching the father and daughter.


    "How do you that? Maybe you''re wrong?." Mr. Qin said as he walked towards her side.


    "Did you not see that look on her face?. She was definitely excited." Mrs. Qin said as she pointed towards the door.


    "It may be because she receives different brings from her father and mother at the same time. It''s worth being happy for." Mr. Qin exined ording to his own understanding.


    "What about your sister, have you heard from here?." Mrs. Qin asked.


    Mr. Qin sighed before replying. "I spoke with her a few minutes ago. She told me she was going to be rich soon. Her husband was making a business n with his friends."


    "Wow! that''s good news." Mrs. Qin said with a smile as she sped her hands together.


    "Good news? It will be good if her husband doesn''t make any more trouble and focus on his new business n, and I hope this one will work this time around." Mr. Qin said in an annoyed tone.


    "Are you still angry about the money you leng himst time?." Mrs. Qin asked as they both went to sit on the sofa.


    "Of course I''m still angry about it. He promised to return my money when his business starts to make a profit, but what did I get in return? Nothing at all, not even an apology. He didn''t start any business, and he squandered my money. It didn''t even prick his heart to return my money as little as he can handle. Forget about apologizing, he just hid from me and that''s how I lost so much money." Mr. Qinmented.


    "Just forget it, no matter what you say, the money won''te back. Just take it as a huge sacrifice you made for your Sister." Mrs. Qin said, consoling him.


    "I hope he won''te to ask me for money, because I won''t have anything to give to him. But in all, I hope his business ns will work this time around." Mr. Qin said.


    The man in question was the husband to Mr. Qin''s Sister. Mr. Qin had only one sibling, Who married a man with a poor mentality. She was blinded by love and got married to someone who wasn''t right for her.

 Chapter 31 - Games Played

    <h4>Chapter 31 - Games yed</h4>


    The man in question was the husband to Mr. Qin''s Sister. Mr. Qin had only one sibling, Who married a man with a poor mentality. She was blinded by love and got married to someone who wasn''t right for her.


    Now the thing is that almost every day, the man would cause trouble for her. The one thing good about their rtionship is that they are still together despite the difference between them.


    Mr. Qin''s sister is so much in life with her husband that she still supports him. She is now leaning more to his side, now supporting his actions, apart from the ones she felt disturbed about because of her selfish interest.


    Currently, They were rich now, since her husband managed to get a lot of money, or more like a loan from a source that had remained hidden from her.


    As far her husband didn''t steal to get the money which he denied when she asked, she doesn''t care. She wants results and nothing else.


    Right now, her family was leaving in bliss. Her husband had money to take care of her and her children, so she was not bothered.


    Her only wish right now was for her husband to establish a sessful business with his friends, so they would have more money and enjoy a splendid life.


    **********


    Fu Hua has been very busy for a few days now. He and the various departments of FJ styles have been very busy preparing for the Autumn show.


    The Autumn show was a huge event hosted every year which attracted citizens and foreign customers. And because of their reputable name, earned from the quality of their products and how fast they deliver, they all strived hard to make sure they didn''t ck off.


    FJ styles have less than two months to go, so they were all doing their best to make sure things were running smoothly.


    Fu YingPei had just started to work under one of the departments, the Quality Assurance/Control Department.


    Some of the major roles of this department include; Setting up Quality Standards, establishing Quality SOP, quality Assurance, quality Control activities at the Pre-production stage.


    This department ys important role in anypany, just like in FJ styles. If anything goes wrong with the quality of the materials produced the me would be on the department, because they failed to do their job effectively.


    This morning, there was a general meeting in which all the department heads were called to give feedback on their jobs so far. YingPei was not a departmental head, but Fu Hua asked him to be around for the meeting.


    Fu Hua was the one, to make the final decisions if it was a delicate matter where the HOD (Head of Department) could not make a stand.


    This general meeting has been going on for more than an hour now. Every department head was reporting their work, and stating their challenges and after making their reports, everybody in the meeting room will put their heads together and give their opinion.


    Now, it was time for the Head of the human resource department to give his report.


    He announced to everybody about the selection of the models for the Autumn show, as he has made his final pick.


    Picking up the remote to the slide, he began to control it.


    The first model that appeared on the screen was Feng Alix. There was no doubt that she would be the first person on the list because currently, she was one of the highest sorts after models in the country.


    Alix Feng''s agent didn''t need to submit any profile to FJ styles, rather it was FJ styles that went looking for her.


    The first time Feng Alix first coborated with them was two years ago, and theirpany''s sales were boosted.


    The Human Resource Manager talked a little about Feng Alix since everybody knew her, before going to the other models on the list.


    There were Twenty models in total. And when they got to the twentieth one, Fu Hua was shocked seeing the person''s profile. Not only him but Fu YingPei was also shocked as well.


    Fu Hua and Fu YingPei exchanged nces, before looking back at the screen.


    The Human Resource manager still had a smile on his face as he introduced Fu Meixu and exined a bit about her.


    "Fu Meixu, she has been in the industry for more than a year plus, although she doesn''t have many notable works, she has a good potential and the most important fact is that she is the cousin to the CEO."


    As he finished making the announcement, there were murmurs from the other departmental heads. They totally were not in support of thest profile he brought up.


    Fu Hua was quiet as he observed the Human Resource manager and the other departmental heads.


    Fu YingPei felt that something was wrong with the Human Resource manager for picking Fu Meixu. Not only that, he had the guts to mention to them that she was rted to the Fu family.


    What was he trying to achieve by that special information? His intentions were obvious. He knew that everyone would disagree for a newbie to join the Autumn show, so he purposely revealed to everyone about the rtionship between Fu Meixu and their Boss, to stop them from rejecting that idea.


    It was obvious that something was up with that Manager.


    Fu Hua shut his eyes as the hushed noise continued to go on. He was wondering how the HR department managed to sieve her.


    But he was not a fool, he knew that games were yed for her name to appear on the list of participating models for the Autumn show.


    Not being able to tolerate the hushed voicesing from every angle in the meeting room, Fu Hua raised his hands, and the noise immediately dies down. Then he slowly opened his eyes and nced at the HR manager, before ncing at the other HOD in the meeting room.

 Chapter 32 - Empty Title

    <h4>Chapter 32 - Empty Title</h4>


    Not being able to tolerate the hushed voicesing from every angle in the meeting room, Fu Hua raised his hands, and the noise immediately dies down. Then he slowly opened his eyes and nced at the HR manager, before ncing at the other HOD in the meeting room.


    "Fu Meixu might be my cousin, but no preferential treatment will be given to her, so you all can go ahead and air your views." Fu Hua said to them.


    He knew the reason they were talking in a hushed tone, was because they were afraid he wanted Fu Meixu to be picked when she wasn''t even qualified.


    And now he has set their rtionship aside, they were free to air their views and suggest whatever they had in mind.


    The HR Manager was surprised by Fu Hua''s words, but he dared not to say anything. All he had to do now was to get his work done by making sure? Fu Meixu was picked.


    Yes, it is as you think. The HR manager of FJ Styles once received help from Fu ChunHua to get into FJ, so right when Fu Meixu needed to get into FJ, Fu ChunHua went to meet him.


    She didn''t just convince or threaten him to make sure her daughter got in, she paid him off to get the work done.


    He would be in trouble if he didn''t seed because he had already epted her money out of greed. So right now, he was doing everything he could to get Fu Meixu the green card.


    Since their Boss has permitted them to give out their opinions, everybody began to say their mind.


    There was an argument about why a newbie was picked for such a big show as the FJ Styles Autumn Fashion Show, because in the history of FJ, they have never picked a neer in the industry, to model, so why would Fu Meixu''s case be different.


    "Even if she''s the CEO''s cousin, she is still not qualified for this. This is a big event we are talking about." The Marketing Manager said with q deep frown on her face.


    "Exactly. People will think we are here to joke. Her profile is already looking at us, and telling us that she doesn''t have the qualifications to be here." Another male Manager heading another department spoke. He was strongly against Fu Meixu being picked.


    "If she is not picked, it wouldn''t look good on the CEO''s side, she is his cousin after all." Another manager not really in support of Fu Meixu said.


    He was looking at another picture. He believed that if Fu Meixu wasn''t picked, there was going to be a problem with how people saw things.


    "And if she is selected with this kind of profile, it will not look good on thepany''s side. Her having reached this level is already a stain on thepany''s image. Have you thought of the bigger picture? We have to maintain our standard or go higher, noting down to a lower level." The Marketing Manager said in a strong tone.


    The Marketing Manager was a woman in her thirties, who had a strong personality. And because of the results she was bringing, she was quite respected. And she was currently the youngest manager FJ Styles had.


    After watching them for a while, Liu Longwei decided to speak up.


    "The truth is that whatever choice we make, People will still have an opinion because her resume has already been submitted. Had it been it wasn''t submitted and hadn''t gotten to this stage, there wouldn''t be any need for this. So, what do you suggest we do in this situation?." Fu Hua asked as his gazended on the HR Manager beforending on the others.


    At this point, YingPei who hadn''t given any suggestion, raised his hand to ask for permission to speak. He was not a manager, but Fu Hua asked him toe for the meeting, and now he wanted to suggest much thought.


    "Yes..." Fu Hua said as he gestured to him to speak up.


    "Sorry to butt in. But since things havee to this, just ept her. No matter what we do, people will still talk. And things are not that simple as it looks, so just ept her."


    "Huh?."


    Everybody in the room was surprised by his suggestion because they didn''t believe that he would give such suggestions.


    The HR Manager was the only one that had a smile on his face, even though Fu Hua had not made the final decision.


    Hushed voices wereing from the sides. Some of them were discussing the matter. Some disagreed, while the others were contemting.


    Fu Hua nced at his brother before looking at everyone in the room.


    "The models selected shoulde and have their measurements taken within three days."


    Fu Hua''s words have already sealed off everything. His words just now, meant that Fu Meixu has been epted.


    Most of the HOD''s had disappointed looks on their faces, especially the Marketing Manager. She couldn''t hide her emotions. The rest had nothing else to say since Fu Hua had already made his decision.


    Before The HR Manager could finish rejoicing, Fu Hua nced at him.


    "The HR Manager is hereby forbidden to make the final suggestion when ites to things like this. After making your pick during any form of employment, you are to meet the Marketing Manager for her suggestions, before meeting me."


    After making the announcement, Fu Hua stood up and walked away with his assistant in toll.


    His announcement caused the smile on the HR Manager''s face to disappear.


    Fu Hua had taken the right to make the final decision in his department away from him. So right now, he was just a normal employee in the HR department of FJ Styles. His title as the Manager was just an empty one.


    The Marketing Manager gloated at his misfortune. YingPei smiled and walked out of the meeting room.

 Chapter 33 - Reasons

    <h4>Chapter 33 - Reasons</h4>


    Fu Hua had taken the right to make the final decision in his department away from him. So right now, he was just a normal employee in the HR department of FJ Styles. His title as the Manager was just an empty one.


    The Marketing Manager gloated at his misfortune. YingPei smiled and walked out of the meeting room.


    "A lesson to be learned by anyone trying to take advantage of his or her position especially in a negative way." The Marketing Manager said as she picked up her files and walked out of the meeting room.


    The HR Manager was so shocked by Fu Hua''s final statement, that he had to sit on one of the chairs to support himself because he suddenly lost strength in his legs.


    The other Managers walked out of the meeting room. And those that pitied him were just a few. They tapped on his shoulder to console him before walking out.


    Fu YingPei followed Fu Hua into his office. Just before he could sit properly, Fu Hua asked him.


    "Why did you suggest picking Meixu?."


    "Oh, that?." Fu YingPei said as he crossed his legs.


    Fu Hua didn''t reply to him and just fixed his gaze on him. Fu YingPei had no choice but to reply to him.


    "This matter is not so simple as it looks. You know how troublesome Aunty is, she will never allow this matter to rest if Meixu is removed from the final selection list. Her name appeared here despite her profile not being eptable, which means that strings were pulled to get her selected."


    "And that is the more reason she didn''t have to be selected." Fu Hua said with his finger on his jaw.


    "No. Meixu is not qualified, and she tried getting in through the backdoor. The HR department of FJ Styles helped her out. All these are reasons she shouldn''t be epted, but have you thought of what will happen if this news leaks weeks before the Autumn fashion show? We won''t be able to keep a clean face. And if you had insisted on not epting Meixu, Aunty would have caused a lot of trouble, and even used the media to her advantage. Although you are not afraid of her, we wouldn''t want any troubles at least at this time." Fu YingPei exined.


    Fu Hua was silent for a while. His gaze moved to the paper in front of him, before slowly raising his head.


    "I will have an opportunity of driving her out if she gives me one. I can easily rece her if she goes against any uses in the contract."


    "How do you mean?." Fu YingPei asked with interest.


    "Fu Meixu and her mother are not straightforward and like to cause trouble, and I bet she will not stay at a ce here. What do you think will happen to any model that will breach the contract?." Fu Hua asked.


    "She will be fined, or will be banned from cooperating with FJ Styles in the future." Fu YingPei replied.


    "Correct. There is nothing like second chances here." Fu Hua said.


    "But don''t you think she will be careful when she knows the rules here in other not to be chased out?." Fu YingPei asked.


    "That would be good for her. If she has the talent and follows the rules here, I will let her stay and forget the fact that she got in through the backdoor." Fu Hua replied.


    "I see. It will be great if she behaves herself. Brother, I will see youter." Fu YingPei said to him as he stood to his feet and was about to leave the office.


    "Go back to your work." Fu Hua said as he waved him away.


    Neither Fu Hua nor his brother YingPei was scared of their Aunt. But this Autumn Fashion Show was very important to them, so they didn''t want a scandal before the big show.


    Fu YingPei was right with his deductions. Since Fu ChunHua had a piece of insider information, she would be about to find out how everything transpired, and then she would make a scene after that.


    Fu ChunHua was capable of causing troubles for them not minding the effect it would have on her in the family.


    Old Mr. Fu was capable of driving her away from the family, but she wouldn''t want to care about that as long as she caused severe damages to them.


    Allowing Fu Meixu into FJ Styles, was not actually a bad deal. She had to walk on pins and needles if she wanted to stay out of trouble. But it might be difficult for her to maintain her cool, given how difficult her personality was.


    When The HR department got himself and the news he received in the morning dawned on him, he sighed to himself and consoled himself with the words...


    ''I will take this as a little sacrifice for the job given to me.'' He said to himself before going back to work.


    When it was almost time to get off from work, Fu ChunHua phoned Jim to know the progress of the work she asked of him.


    "Your daughter made it after the final round of selection." The HR Manager announced to her over the phone.


    "That''s good. You did a good job." Fu ChunHua said with a triumphant smile on her face.


    Finally, her daughter was going to get into FJ styles, just like her dreams were falling into pleasant ces.


    "I lost my Authority as the HR Manager because of it." The HR Manager informed her in a selected tone.


    "What? What do you mean by that?????." Fu ChunHua asked as the smile on her face was frozen.


    The HR Manager sighed before going ahead to tip her off of what transpired at the office, but he didn''t give the exact details, because he felt it wasn''t right for her to everything that urs where she wasn''t working.


    "I guess you had a hard time dealing with the other HOD''s just to help my daughter." Fu ChunHua said to him.

 Chapter 34 - Excitement After Being Picked By FJ Styles

    <h4>Chapter 34 - Excitement After Being Picked By FJ Styles</h4>


    The HR Manager sighed before going ahead to tip her off of what transpired at the office, but he didn''t give the exact details, because he felt it wasn''t right for her to everything that urs where she wasn''t working.


    "I guess you had a hard time dealing with the other HOD''s just to help my daughter." Fu ChunHua said to him.


    "It was difficult dealing with them, but it''s good they had no choice but to give in since the Boss stamped my opinion." The HR Manager spoke.


    "Are you really sure YingPei spoke up for my daughter?." Fu ChunHua asked, still in disbelief of that fact.


    She doesn''t know why she''s finding it difficult to ept that fact. Maybe it''s because there is an amenity between her and Fu Hee.


    "You mean the Boss''s younger brother? Yes, he did speak up for Miss Meixu, and I think that is the reason the CEO agreed to let Miss Meixu go ahead with the final round of selection." The HR Manager confirmed.


    "That''s fine. I''m sorry about you losing your rights as the HR Manager, but just take that as a little sacrifice. When my daughter joins FJ Styles, take care of her." Fu ChunHua said to him.


    "Of course, I will do that." The HR Manager agreed with a lowugh.


    After the call ended, Fu ChunHua had a frown on her face as she thought over some matters.


    ''Who knows what those guys are thinking about.'' Fu ChunHua said to herself before going to find her daughter announce the good news to her.


    Fu ChunHua found Meixu in her bedroom just in time after she came out from the washroom.


    "Mum, do you have good news to announce because you look very happy?." Fu Meixu asked as she went to sit on the chair situated in one corner of her bedroom.


    "Indeed I have good news, do you want to hear it?." Fu ChunHua asked with raised brows as she remained standing as she exchanged gazes with her daughter.


    Fu Meixu observed her actions and said, "This looks like a piece of big good news. I want to hear it, so out with it already don''t keep me waiting."


    "You''re not making this fun, can''t you take a guess?." Fu ChunHua asked with a frown.


    What she wanted to announce was such a piece of big news, so how could she just say it like that without suspense?.


    "You got a special invitation to watch an Opera performance? You got a big contract? You finally got a special contact to meet your dream fan?."


    Fu ChunHua asked all these questions with guesses, but she received a negative response from her mother, so she gave with the guesses.


    "Your attempts were far from it. But since you tried, I will share the big news with you instead of waiting to be notified by other people. I just spoke with somebody I asked to help you get into FJ styles." Fu ChunHua paused as she gazed at her daughter.


    When Fu Meixu heard thest part she immediately shifted her position on the sit and sat upright with a keen gaze on her mother. This was her area of great interest, so she was very interested in hearing the great news her mother was about to shock her with.


    "Mum,e on, go on, don''t leave me hanging." She said with furrowed brows, her gaze never leaving her mother.


    Fu ChunHua smiled more before breaking the news to her. "You were amongst the top 20 models FJ selected to wear their products during the Autumn show."


    "Ah.Ah!!!." Fu Meixu screamed ???? as she jumped up from her seat with excitement in her voice.


    Fu ChunHua had to cover her ears with the loud shrieking sounds her daughter made.


    "Calm down, unless you want your grandfather to throw you out of the house." Fu ChunHua reminded her with a smile.


    "Who cares? I''m very happy. At least I am allowed to express my happiness." Fu Meixu said with excitement written all over her face.


    "Of course you are allowed to be happy." Fu ChunHua said to her as she went to sit at the edge of her bed.


    Slowly, her excitement died down as a funny thought came to her head. She approached her mother with a frown sitting perfectly on her face.


    "Mum, are you sure about this? I believe you were not created by the person you hired." Fu Meixu asked with heartbeats, beating faster than in her excited state.


    "Sshhh... ????." Fu ChunHua shushed her as she looked towards the door with a careful gaze, before looking back at her.


    "Lower your tone." She warned her in a low tone.


    Fu Meixu almost forgot that they were still at the Fu Mansion. She and her mother would be in trouble if this news was heard by the old man.


    "The person I hired will dare not y games with me. Don''t worry, your agency will soon contact you about it." Fu ChunHua announced to her.


    "But what is causing the dy?." Fu Meixu asked with a frown.


    At this point, she was very excited with the news that she was starting to me her agency for being too slow with telling her about it.


    "The decision was finalized some minutes ago, so what''s the hurry? I bet your agency hasn''t even received the news from FJ, so you are the first to know about it. But just pretend you know nothing about it, and act excited as you were when I broke the news to you." Fu ChunHua said to her.


    "Okay, I will listen to you. But Mum, hope the person you hired is very reliable that he won''t tell on you to Big Brother?." Fu Meixu asked with a little worryced in her tone.


    "Don''t worry, he wouldn''t dare to expose me even if your cousin suspects something about it. The person I hired is reliable, he even lost his right to make decisions like this because he helped us." Fu ChunHua revealed.


    "Brother Fu Hua sacked him?." Fu Meixu inquired with wide eyes.


    "He wasn''t sacked, just that he has no right to his title anymore. But it''s good you managed to get in before all of these happened, so you have to secure your position there. I''m very sure your Cousin would drive you out given any slightest mistake from your side." Fu ChunHua advised her.

    <h4>Chapter 35 - Pretense</h4>


    "Brother Fu Hua sacked him?." Fu Meixu inquired with wide eyes.


    "He wasn''t sacked, just that he has no right to his title anymore. But it''s good you managed to get in before all of these happened, so you have to secure your position there. I''m very sure your Cousin would drive you out given any slightest mistake from your side." Fu ChunHua advised her.


    "Don''t worry mum, I''ll be very careful. I will not let this big opportunity slip off my fingers just like that." Fu Meixu swore with a determined look.


    "That''s good. You need to take up more works now, and your agency will make sure of it when they get the notification that you got into FJ Styles."


    "Of course. I now have the opportunity of getting more works in this field. Very soon, I will be a C-list model. I''m so climbing to the top without giving a fight." Fu Meixu said.


    "Good. Fu Hee will be very annoyed when she learns of this news, and I can''t wait to taunt her with it at the dining table." Fu ChunHua said with a low chuckle.


    Fu Meixu sighed and looked away from her. "Mum, I''m going out."


    Fu ChunHua stoppedughing as she asked, "Where are you going to?."


    "I''m going to have fun. Remember, I got into FJ Styles." Fu Meixu replied.


    "No, it''s too early. And besides, FJ Styles has not released any news. It will be bad that you are celebrating too early." Fu ChunHua said to her.


    "Okay, I will just have to go out at least. I can''t stay at home and have grandfather thinking that I have nothing doing and not suitable to work in FJ." Fu Meixu said as she walked to her closet to pick some clothes.


    "Okay, but no partying till the news is announced. Make sure toe home early for dinner." Fu ChunHua reminded her as she stood to her feet and walked towards the door.


    "Okay." Fu Meixu replied with her eyes roaming all over her wardrobe.


    Later that evening, FJ Styles announced to the agencies their models were selected. They informed them their models got in and sent them the contracts to sign.


    FJ Styles someone and one of theirwyers to send the contracts to them and get their signatures on it, to move to the next level.


    After signing the contracts, the agencies their models got in, happily announced to the selected models the good news.


    Y Entertainment which Fu Meixu belonged to, had two people from their agency that was selected, Fu Meixu and a top actress working with them.


    The owner of Y Entertainment was surprised that a D-list celebrity got into FJ Styles, but he waved the matter aside. They had two of their models joining FJ Styles, so it was good news worth celebrating.


    Looking aside from the fact of how Fu Meixu got in which on the normal circumstances she wasn''t supposed to get in, Y Entertainment informed the managers of the two female celebrities under them of the good news, so they could pass the news unto them.


    When Fu Meixu got the news from her manager that she got into FJ Styles, she almost had her cover blown because it wasn''t new news to her.


    She had this indifferent attitude when her manager announced the news to her. Nowing back to her senses, she pretended as if she didn''t hear what her manager said to her.


    The Manager who was initially surprised by her response was about to have his imagination running widely before he got the message that Fu Meixu didn''t hear him, otherwise, she wouldn''t have acted in that manner, so he repeated the news to her.


    This time around, Fu Meixu acted the y perfectly as scripted. She acted shocked and surprised that she got in.


    "OMG! ???? I didn''t know I would get in." That was what Fu Meixu said with that facial expression. Her pretense was at another level.


    "It''s alright. You did a good job by getting in. Now the agency is proud of you. I will call youter when I get another news of the next step to take after signing the contract." The Manager informed her.


    "The contract has been signed?." Fu Meixu asked in surprise.


    "Yes. FJ said they would send a message across to us on when you woulde for your measurements to be taken." Her Manager revealed.


    "Okay, thank you!." Fu Meixu said with excitement in her voice.


    After the call ended, Fu Meixu who was now back home and in her car, had a look of excitement on her face, as she began to make calls to get the best outfit to visit FJ Styles with for the time she would visit for her measurements to be taken.


    After making the calls, she nced at herself at the side mirror of her car to check her looks while plotting something in her head.


    Seeing her looks were okay, She smiled to herself before fixing her facial expression to that of the one that was in utter excitement, before opening the car door and running into the house.


    "Mum...Mum!." She called out with a loud voice and happiness in her tone as she ran into the house.


    The servants could only watch as she ran into the house making noise.


    "What is it?." Fu ChunHua asked with a smile as she saw her daughter running towards her.


    Fu Meixu winked at her, giving her a sign to pretend and cooperate with her.


    Fu ChunHua got the sign and gave a slight nod to show that she understood.


    "Mum guess what?!." Fu Meixu asked with an excited tone, while the servants around watched.


    "What good news is making my Meixu so happy?." Fu ChunHua asked with a fake surprised look on her face.


    "Mum, can you believe it, I got into FJ Styles with my efforts!." Fu Meixu announced.


    "What?! Are you sure there was no mistake somewhere?." Fu ChunHua asked with a surprised facial expression.

 Chapter 36 - Who Knows If She Will Like It...

    <h4>Chapter 36 - Who Knows If She Will Like It...</h4>


    "Mum, what are you saying? Are you saying that I''m not capable?. My manager called me two minutes ago to announce the good news to me, and the contract has been signed already, so how can I be mistaken." Fu Meixu asked.


    "Wow! That''s such good news. We have to celebrate." Fu ChunHua is sad with a happy smile as she dragged her daughter up the stairs as the servants watched on with an obvious gaze.


    Locking the door to her bedroom, Fu ChunHua asked, "The contract has been signed already?."


    "Yes. My Manager informed me about it. Now, I have to prepare an outfit because soon, FJ Styles will be asking us toe over to have our measurements taken, and I have to look good as usual." Fu Meixu announced.


    "I will take you shopping tomorrow." Fu ChunHua said to her.


    Fu Meixu sighed in relief as a smile slowly appeared on her face.


    "Now, I can''t wait to taunt Fu Hee." Fu ChunHua said with an obvious smile on her face.


    "Aunty wouldn''t be happy." Fu Meixu said to her.


    "That''s exactly what I''m aiming for. I want to see her pissed off and not able to control her temper." Fu ChunHua said with a little excitement in her tone as she smiled to herself, as she couldn''t want to defeat Fu Hee with the news.


    Fu Meixu''s drama was done to indirectly announce that she got into FJ Styles and that she just received the news from her agency, and not that she got into FJ Styles with a big help.


    At the dining table, the whole family gathered again for dinner. And while eating, Fu ChunHua and Fu Meixu could not stop the smile on their faces from showing, but more especially Fu ChunHua. She couldn''t wait to make the big announcement.


    ncing at Fu Hee, and seeing her eating her food elegantly like a brought-up princess, Fu ChunHua gloated over her.


    ''Fu Hee...Fu Hee, let''s see if you can still eat your food peacefully after this news.'' Fu ChunHua said to herself with a smile as she put some food in her mouth and chewed on it.


    Fu Hee didn''t notice the brief gaze on her, because her mind was on the food she was eating.


    Putting down her cutleries with a little noise that attracted the gazes of other family members, Fu ChunHua smiled apologetically.


    She apologized to them with a big smile on her face. "I''m sorry. It''s just that I am too happy, so I got a bit distracted, please carry on."


    Everybody went back to eating their food. Grandfather Fu ate his food with a normal expression on his face, he didn''t look disturbed at all like Fu Hee.


    Fu Hee and Fu ChunHua were rivals, and any time any of them was happy, the other would be weary of the other, just like now.


    Earlier on, Fu Hee had noticed that Fu ChunHua was just too happy today, and she couldn''t hide the smile, but she overlooked it. But now seeing her little actions at the dining table, she was sure whatever that was making her so happy like this, definitely wouldn''t be good news for her.


    "What''s making you so excited?." Fu Geming asked with his gaze on her. He had noticed that his wife has been smiling since they gathered for dinner.


    Fu ChunHua has been wishing for somebody to ask her that question, so she could talk. Now that her husband had asked her the reason for her happiness, why would she let the opportunity go?


    Fu ChunHua pretended to be overly happy as the smile ???? filled her face.


    "Husband, you don''t know, but Meixu got into FJ Styles. Her manager called her this evening to announce the news to her." Fu ChunHua announced happily.


    Fu Hua pretended as if he didn''t hear anything, and his facial expressions remained the same. But as for Fu YingPei, he almost choked on his food. Finally, he knew what his Aunt was ying at.


    This revtion by her mother was an opportunity for Fu Meixu to smile happily as a broad smile appeared on her face.


    "You should have announced such good news earlier. Meixu, congrattions!." Fu Geming said as he continued eating his food.


    "Thank you, Dad." Fu Meixu replied with a smile.


    Fu ChunHua had a smiling gaze at Fu Hee, who looked furious with the news.


    Fu ChunHua was enjoying that annoyed look on her face, as her smile became provocative.


    Fu Hee red at her before looking at her sons, but none of them had their attention on her, so she looked more annoyed. She couldn''t wait for the dinner to be over to ask her sons how the hell Fu Meixu got into FJ with that little capability of hers.


    "Meixu, congrattions on getting in." Fu Juan said to Fu Meixu before continuing with her food.


    "Thank you, Aunty." Fu Meixu said with a shy facial expression.


    ncing at Fu Hee, Fu ChunHua smiled as she looked away from her as spoke slowly.


    "Some people are so jealous that Meixu got in with her capabilities, that they can''t even congratte the hardworking young girl making efforts by herself."


    Then turning to Fu Hua, she said to him, but that was the greatest mistake she made that night, she shouldn''t have directed any words to him, and now, she has to pay the price by being nominated before everybody, and her secrets, exposed.


    "Fu Hua, you agreed to be fair in your judgment. A few days ago, you said you wouldn''t allow anybody to get into FJ through the backdoor, and for that reason, you rejected your cousin. So now that she was selected because of her capabilities, what do you have to say about it?."


    This time around, Fu YingPei choked on his food. He felt that his Aunt of his was very foolish. What got she had to say with her thick face that Fu Meixu got into FJ with her capabilities.


    Which capabilities? Capabilities of getting in through the back door?.


    Fu Hee felt annoyed that Fu ChunHua was making fun of her son now that her daughter got into FJ. But she still had doubts that there was a scam the mother and daughter did to get into FJ Styles.


    Hearing that question directed at him, Fu Hua took his time. He dropped his cutlery ???? and wiped his mouth with a napkin, before looking up at Fu ChunHua only to be greeted with that scorn look on her face, but he remained unfazed because he had an answer for her question, but who knows if she would like it.

 Chapter 37 - Exposed

    <h4>Chapter 37 - Exposed</h4>


    Hearing that question directed at him, Fu Hua took his time. He dropped his cutlery ???? and wiped his mouth with a napkin, before looking up at Fu ChunHua only to be greeted with that scorn look on her face, but he remained unfazed because he had an answer for her question, but who knows if she would like it.


    "Actually I wasn''t fair with my judgment."


    These wordsing out from Fu Hua''s mouth caused eyes to turn to his side. Everybody at the dining table was shocked by the revtion.


    It was only YingPei that knew what Fu Hua was talking about. He was about to release a bomb, and these people didn''t get the hint, especially this foolish Aunt of his, who was smiling and couldn''t wait for her turn to talk.


    "At least now you have admitted to your wrongs, so Meixu and I will forgive you." Fu ChunHua said with a smile like she was offended but just had to forgive him because she was the elder.


    "Fu Hua, what do you mean?." Fu Hee asked with a frown. She believed that her son, could not make a big mistake like this that concerned her pride, and besides, it looked like he had something else to say.


    "I was waiting for this question, thanks for asking." Fu Hua said as he spared his mother a nce, but he didn''t look grateful at all.


    With everyone''s gaze on him, he nced at Fu ChunHua and said without mincing words.


    "If Meixu hadn''t gotten in through the backdoor, and YingPei hadn''t pleaded to let her in, she would have been cklisted by FJ, and then when the news spreads, it will be difficult to restore her reputation andnd new jobs."


    At this point, YingPei was the only one trying to control hisughter, so he covered his mouth with his hand and lowered his head.


    The rest of the family members were shocked by the revtion and were ogling at Fu Hua and the angry-looking Fu ChunHua.


    "Fu Hua what do you mean by the nonsense you just said?." Fu ChunHua asked in an irritable tone as her chest heaved up and down in anger.


    Fu Hee smiled as she took some sips from her ss of water, but she knew this was not the time to butt in. It was rare for her son to talk, so she would allow him and give him enough screen time.


    "If you keep denying all of these, then I will be forced to do a thorough investigation and bring all the evidence in front of everybody and the media, and by then, we will see who was actually speaking nonsense." Liu Longwei said to her, and seeing that she was still trying to say something, he added...


    "Just refute my words one more time, and I will show you what Justice actually means."


    YingPei choked on his water and began to cough violently. He couldn''t believe his brother could be this mean. He didn''t even care about her face and kept pping it repeatedly.


    Fu Hee couldn''t hold herughter as sheughed out loud. This revtion by her son has indeed made her happy.


    She couldn''t believe that Fu ChunHua would be this shameless and thick-skinned to go through the backdoor ande to judge her son.


    What a shameless woman!


    Fu Meixu was so embarrassed that she began to hope the ground would open and swallow her up. But as for Fu ChunHua, she was so angry that she couldn''t hide her facial expressions.


    "Are you treating me?." Fu ChunHua asked in gritted teeth, but Fu Meixu touched her arm to calm her down. it would be better if she swallowed her anger before she got her into trouble.


    "Aunty, you should know me by now that I don''t y with my words. Just deny these facts, and I will dig up everything rted to this matter. Excuse me." Fu Hua said as he stood to his feet and walked out of the living area.


    He was angry as well that his Aunty was ying around with hispany. He didn''t like the fact that she decided to y her games in hispany.


    Fu ChunHua was so choked up in anger that she didn''t know what else to say again. Fu Meixu kept patting her thighs to stop her from talking.


    Right now, Fu Hee wasughing so hard that she couldn''t control herself. She found the situation very funny. She couldn''t believe things would turn out this way.


    Thinking about it, sheughed with her hand over her mouth.


    Grandfather Fu was currently looking at everybody. He was quiet as he observed everybody.


    He knew with what Fu ChunHua did, Fu Hua was very angry about it because normally, he could have continued eating after exposing her, but he walked away, which meant that he was truly unhappy.


    Shaking his head, he put down his cutlery and shut his eyes. Opening them again, he faced his second son and asked, "When are you leaving with your family?."


    Everybody at the dining table was shocked by the question, because they knew for the old man to ask this question, he must have been fed up with Fu ChunHua''s drama.


    It took a while for Fu Geming to regain his senses, so he cleared his throat and replied to the Old man awaiting answers.


    "In two days."


    "Leave tomorrow, you are done weing me. You have been absent from work, and it is not right." Old Mr. Fu said.


    Who would dare to refute his words? His words were not negotiable.


    Receiving the decree with regret in his heart, Fu Geming drank some water, While the Old man left the dining area for them.


    Fu Geming was ashamed of his wife, and because of her, the old man was asking them to leave. Sometimes, he didn''t know how to deal with his stubborn wife.


    Fu ChunHua''s facial expression became more ugly, so as Meixu. As for Fu Ling, none of this concerned him. He was just quiet as he ate his food while thinking about other things.

 Chapter 38 - Brainless Fu ChunHua

    <h4>Chapter 38 - Brainless Fu ChunHua</h4>


    Fu Geming was ashamed of his wife, and because of her, the old man was asking them to leave. Sometimes, he didn''t know how to deal with his stubborn wife.


    Fu ChunHua''s facial expression became more ugly, so as Meixu. As for Fu Ling, none of this concerned him. He was just quiet as he ate his food while thinking about other things.


    Taking the opportunity that the Old has left, Fu Hee sneered at Fu ChunHua.


    "ChunHua, who knew you were this shameless?. I can''t believe you have the guts to get Meixu into FJ Styles through the backdoor and still have the thick face to dent it. Do you know you would be damaging her reputation if this news gets out? Normally, Meixu couldn''t have gotten into FJ Styles with the requirements they listed, but you managed to sneak her in, do you think people are blind? You should have let Meixu work her way up, but you using this underhand method, tsk tsk tsk..."


    Fu Hee trailed off as she there her face away.


    "Fu Hee, it would be better if you shut your mouth and eat your food." Fu ChunHua warned in a raised tone.


    "Hey! don''t you dare raise your voice at me, who do you think you are? In this family, I have more rights than you, and can throw you out since I invited you over, so you better behave." Fu Hee said to her with creased brows.


    This woman dared to meddle in her son''spany, something she hasn''t dared to do before, so she was very angry about it. And now, she dared to raise her voice at her, it looks like she wanted a p.


    "Your upbringing should be questioned because you don''t have respect for your elders." Fu ChunHua said angrily.


    Fu Hee scoffed as she said to her, "Are you now admitting that you are older than me?."


    Fu ChunHua just looked like she just shot herself in the face. She was so angry that she didn''t know when she said that, but now, it was already toote to take her words back.


    YingPei, Fu Ling, and Fu Fu Meixu looked surprised to learn this new news.


    Fu ChunHua still had something to say, but Fu Geming mmed the table with his palm.


    "Can you just shut your mouth for a minute and not look for trouble for once?!." Fu Geming said in anger.


    Fu ChunHua was shocked by his sudden outburst and directly shut her mouth with a shocked gaze on him.


    At this point, Fu Lei and Fu Ling got up and left the dining area.


    Fu Geming was still angry with the fact he was asked to leave the house because of his wife''s troubles, but instead, if the woman to feel sorry for what she caused, she was still shamelessly causing more troubles.


    Fu Juan who has been quiet all this while sighed before standing up and leaving the dining area. She didn''t have the energy to watch these people fight.


    "ChunHua, enjoy your dinner!" Fu Hee said with her gaze on Fu ChunHua while standing to her feet. After saying that part, she turned to YingPei who was still eating, and called out to him.


    "YingPei let''s go."


    "But Mum, I''m not done eating." Fu YingPei said, but he received a re from his mother, so he gave onest look at his unfinished dinner before walking away with her.


    Now left at the dining table were Fu ChunHua, Fu Geming, and Fu Meixu who had stopped eating since.


    Seeing that everybody had gone, Fu ChunHua turned to her husband to ask, "Dis you have to embarrass me in front of everybody?."


    Dropping his cutlery which caused a shattering sound against the ceramic tes, he said in anger.


    "What about me, did you think about me when you were causing trouble. Now what kind of person does father think I am for marrying a trouble maker?."


    "Are you calling me a trouble maker?." Fu ChunHua asked in a heavy tone.


    "If you are not, then which other words best describe you?. Did you know what your pride has caused us now? You know you are guilty, but you still dared to show off about it, your brains must have been eaten up by vultures." Fu Geming said as he looked away from her.


    Fu ChunHua''s chest was heaving up and down. She was beyond angry for getting insulted repeatedly.


    "What about you, are you innocent?." She asked.


    "In fact nobody is innocent, but you are the only blockhead that willmit a crime and shameless boast about it. You don''t know how thorough Fu Hua is? You think he is a fool? He cares about FJ and has poured out everything he has to bring thepany to this level, and you think you meddling in it, will turn out well?. Don''t you know that meddling with hispany is like a p to his face? He didn''t even bring this up, but you dared to brag in his presence that Meixu got in through the backdoor, but he didn''t know about it, and not only that, you dared to drag him in and rub it on his face. You are truly brainless!."


    All that Fu Geming said is true. On a normal, Fu Hua wouldn''t have said anything about his cousin getting into hispany through the backdoor, but he was provoked by Fu ChunHua who was showing off to him that she smoothly got her daughter in without getting caught, so he had no choice than to reveal to her that he knew about everything, but just let things go.


    Actually, he needed just one more provocation from her to bring out evidence and ban Fu Meixu from ever coborating with FJ in her life, because he was beyond angry today.


    Even his Old man can not take decisions for him about hispany without asking him about it first, so who was she to meddle with hispany affairs?


    Fu ChunHua was the foolish one indeed. Only she wouldmit a crime and shameless brag about it right in front of the person shemitted a crime against, she was truly brainless just like her husband said.

 Chapter 39 - Li Huan

    <h4>Chapter 39 - Li Huan</h4>


    That same night, Fu Geming asked Fu ChunHua to pack her things to leave the Fu House the next morning.


    "Can''t you speak to father to forgive me and allow us to stay for a little while here?." Fu ChunHua said to him with a frown.


    "Don''t you have legs and a mouth? Why don''t you go and meet him yourself? Nonsense!." Fu Geming said as he looked away from her.


    "Geming, are you acting so cold towards me? I am your wife." Fu ChunHua said to him with a hurtful look on her face, But her husband wasn''t going to fall for her tricks.


    Fu Gemingid on the bed and shut his eyes. "All I know is that we are leaving after breakfast tomorrow."


    Fu ChunHua wasn''t happy with the decision he made. She didn''t want to leave the Fu Mansion, she wanted to spend more time here, but it looks like her wishes would nevere true.


    The next morning, everybody gathered at the dining table to eat breakfast. It was quiet as everyone had a tacit understanding not to bring up whatever happenedst night.


    Recalling the events of the previous night, Fu ChunHua felt something pricking her heart. But who could she pour all her grievances to?. She sat there quietly and ate her breakfast.


    As for Fu Hua, he already left for work early in the morning, so he was the only person missing at the breakfast table.


    After breakfast, Grandfather Fu asked Fu Geming to see him in his study.


    "How did I teach you?." Grandfather Fu asked immediately Fu Geming walked into his study.


    At first, Fu Geming nced at him in confusion, but he suddenly recalled as the shes of all the troubles his wife caused since they came back, came to his head.


    Grandfather Fu sighed and asked him to sit.


    "Do you still have authority over your wife? How can she keep going against the rules every time? Caution your wife before your nexting?."


    "Father, you mean we are allowed toe back?." Fu Geming asked in surprise.


    "Of course you''re allowed toe back with your family, but for now you should leave. Your wife just made matters worse by angering Fu Hua. You should leave with her. You are only allowed toe back few days to the Autumn show." Grandfather Fu said to him.


    He knew if he left Fu ChunHua to continue hanging around and causing trouble, it wouldn''t be long before a fight breaks out.


    "Okay, Father, we will leave ande back before the Autumn show." Fu Geming said in agreement.


    The Autumn show was was in two months, so it wouldn''t be a long wait.


    By right, Fu Geming and his family were supposed to be living in the Fu Vi as there were more than enough rooms to house the entire family. But because of his wife always being in confrontation with Fu Hee, Grandfather Fu had no choice but to send him away with his family for peace to reign.


    After talking with the Old Man for a while, he left his study for his bedroom, where his wife was sitting on the bed with an adamant look on her face.


    "Are you don packing your things?." He asked.


    "Yes." Fu ChunHua replied in a dull tone.


    "Then what are you waiting for? Take the luggage out or you call the servants to help you with it, or are you waiting for father to call the guards toe and throw us out of the house?!." Fu Geming asked in an agitated tone.


    "Why are you shouting?." Fu ChunHua asked while standing with a frown on her face.


    Fu Geming looked her up and down with an unhappy look. "If I go downstairs before you, you will be thrown out of the house, and you will not enter the same car with me."


    After giving that note of warning, Fu Geming left her sight. Fu ChunHua could only sit back on the bed and sulk.


    Fifteen minutester, Fu Geming as his family left the house with the servants carrying out their bags.


    Fu Meixu looked reluctant to leave the house. And since the incident yesterday, she hasn''t really discussed it with her mother.


    Now the n turned out bad, she couldn''t help but hold some resentment in her heart. Everybody in the family would be giving her that dirty looks.


    "What are you doing by looking behind, won''t you walk faster?." Fu Geming scolded Fu Meixu when he looked back and saw her walking behind them in slow steps.


    Fu ChunHua frowned and increased her pace.


    After their luggage was put in the car, The family of four got into the two cars they came with.


    "Brother, don''t tell me you are happy we are leaving this big house." Fu Meixu said to her brother with a frown as she drove.


    "Why don''t you fix your eyes on the road instead of questioning me?." Fu Ling said to her with a re.


    Fu Meixu had no choice but to shut up and drive. She didn''t know what was wrong with this brother of hers. He was so cold to everybody and would never support her.


    Wouldn''t it have been better if he didn''t have any older brother, because the one she had, wasn''t ying his role?


    At the Qin''sfortable nest, The family of three were together this afternoon, who h was rare.


    There was no work at the construction site, so Mr. Qin didn''t go to work. Mrs. Qin took a day off to rx, while Jia Li came back home for something else.


    Currently, the family of three were sitting in the living room and watching a drama on the Tv. Jia Li was not that interested in the drama before, but her mother dragged her toe and join them, so she had no choice.


    Now, her interest has been captured by the drama, so she was watching it with keen interest.


    Not long into the movie, there was a knock on their door. The sound wasn''t that loud, so none of them paid attention to it. But the second time, Jia Li heard the knock and went to open the door.


    When she opened the door, she was surprised to see the manly figure standing in front of the door with some bags in his hands.


    He has that smile on his face as he stared at her.


    "It''s good to see you again, Jia Li." The young man said with a smile.


    "Brother Li Huan?." Jia Li said as she stared at the familiar face in surprise.

 Chapter 40 - Her Senior In High School

    <h4>Chapter 40 - Her Senior In High School</h4>


    He has that smile on his face as he stared at her.


    "It''s good to see you again, Jia Li." The young man said with a smile.


    "Brother Li Huan?." Jia Li said as she stared at the familiar face in surprise.


    "Are you surprised to see me?." Li Huang asked with a smile as he gazed at her.


    "Yeah." Jia Li answered a little absent-mindedly. ncing at his hands, she regained her manners.


    "Brother Li Huan, please don''t mind me,e in." She said to him as she opened the door wide enough for him to pass through with the kinds of stuff in his hands.


    While tailing after Li Huan, Jia Li''s heart was beating a few paces faster than normal. She would be lying if she denied the fact that she was affected by seeing Li Huan at her doorstep today.


    "Jia Li who Is there?." Mrs. Qin asked from the living room. But when she turned her head, she saw a familiar figure walking towards them with some bags in his hands.


    "Li Huang?." Mrs. Qin asked, standing to her feet in surprise. Mr. Qin also turned to nce over and saw the handsome familiar face.


    "Is that Li Huang I''m seeing?." Mr. Qin asked with a weing smile.


    "Good afternoon, Mr. Qin, Good afternoon, Mrs. Qin." Lin Huan greeted with a smile as he walked towards them with the bags in his hand.


    Getting close to them, he kept the bags aside and shook hands with Mr. Qin.


    "Li Huang, when did youe back?." Mrs. Qin asked as she gestured to him to take a seat.


    Sitting downfortably, Li Huan smiled as he replied. "I came back this morning."


    "That''s good. Your mother must have been happy to see you." Mrs. Qin said with a smile.


    Jia Li who has been standing walked over and took a seat beside her mother.


    "Yes, she was very happy to see me." Li Huan replied with a smile.


    "Good... Good." Mr. Qin said while nodding in approval.


    "Mrs. Qin this..." Li Huan started saying but got cut off by Mrs. Qin.


    "Why the stress, Just call us, Aunty and Uncle."


    Li Huan took the correction and addressed them as she told him.


    "Aunty, Uncle, this is the little gift I bought from the city." Li Huan said while pointing at the backs he left at the side.


    "All these for us?." Mrs. Qin asked.


    "You shouldn''t have bothered, you are a young man who just started working." Mr. Qin said to him.


    "There is no trouble at all. I can''te to greet Uncle and Aunty empty-handed after some years now." Liu Huan exined.


    "You did well." Mrs. Qinmended him.


    Then turning to Jia Li who has been quiet, she said to her, "Jia Li, have you greeted Li Huang?."


    Looking up slowly while trying to hide her embarrassment, she replied, "Yes, I greeted him at the door."


    What she did at the door was not a greeting, but how would her mother know about it? And definitely, Li Huan wouldn''t mention it.


    Li Huan and Jia Li have known each other for some years now. Li Huan was Jia Li''s senior in high school, but back then, they didn''t know each other very well, and they only became close when they both found out they lived in the same neighborhood.


    Jia Li''s parents have always known Li Huan to be Jia Li''s senior in school because he used to walk her home most times from school before he graduated from high school and went to another city to enroll in college, so they became acquainted.


    Mrs. Qin and Mr. Qin were happy to see Li Huan once again. They chatted with him and ask him about his life and job, and it turned out that Li Huan was doing very well and also walking in a big techpany.


    "Jia Li, go and cut some fruits for Li Huan." Mrs. Qin said to Jia Li with a smile.


    Jia Li excused herself and went into the kitchen. She was blushing when she came into the kitchen.


    While in the living room, she felt Li Huan''s gaze on her at every moment, and so she has been looking for a moment to escape so she could fan her hot cheeks and breathe properly.


    Fanning her face, she asked herself, "Jia Li, what is wrong with you?."


    Feeling that the hotness on her cheeks and neck had reduced she sighed in relief and picked up some fruits to wash.


    In the living room, Mrs. Qin turned to nce in the direction of the kitchen while saying, "Why is Jia Li taking so much time to cut some fruits?."


    "Rx, it hasn''t been up to two minutes since she left." Mr. Qin said to her.


    "We have a visitor. I will go find her and help her out." Mrs. Qin said before disappearing into the kitchen.


    Mrs. Qin was not really bothered, she only made this excuse to go and check on Jia Li, because she noticed something.


    Hearing the footsteps behind her, Jia Li turned to see who it was.


    "Mum? Why did youe in, you should have waited for me?" Jia Li said to her before going back to cut the Apple with the knife in her hand.


    "Are you disappointed?." Mrs. Qin asked as she walked to her side with a smile.


    "Disappointed with what?." Jia Li asked inc confusion.


    "Are you disappointed that it''s not Li Huan that came to look for you?." Mrs. Qin teased with her gaze on Jia Li while waiting for a response.


    "Mum?!." Jia Li said in shock as she looked behind her to make sure no other person had her.


    "What? Am I wrong?." Mrs. Qin asked as she took a piece of the fruit and out into her mouth, her gaze never leaving Jia Li as she chewed on the Apple ????.


    "Mum, who gave you that impression?." Jia Li asked with a frown as she tried to stop her racing heart from beating faster.

 Chapter 41 - Her Secret Crush

    <h4>Chapter 41 - Her Secret Crush</h4>


    "What? Am I wrong?." Mrs. Qin asked as she took a piece of the fruit and out into her mouth, her gaze never leaving Jia Li as she chewed on the Apple ????.


    "Mum, who gave you that impression?." Jia Li asked with a frown as she tried to stop her racing heart from beating faster.


    "You gave me that impression." Mrs. Qin replied with a smile and seeing that Jia Li still had something to say, she stopped her.


    "We will talk about thister. Cut the fruits quickly and bring it over, I will serve the water." Mrs. Qin said as she opened the refrigerator and brought out dour bottles of water.


    She ced them on the tray and left for the living room. She returned to the kitchen to get the ss cups, and after smiling at Jia Li, she left again.


    Jia Li heaved a sigh as she patted her hot cheeks. She really wanted to see her face and check out if her feelings were truly portrayed on her face. But too bad she couldn''t see her face.


    After cutting the apple, she washed some grapes and added them to the te of fruits before carrying it out, while trying hard to manage her facial expressions.


    It was a hidden secrete that she had feelings for Li Huan, she had always had a crush on her tall, smart and handsome Hugh school senior, but she kept her feelings hidden.


    She didn''t know if it was love since she didn''t know what that means, but she knew she liked being around him.


    Serving the fruits, Mr. Qin gestured to Li Huan to eat.


    "Thank you!." Li Huan said as he picked up a piece of Apple to eat.


    As they enjoyed the fruits, they talked about some things and a little memory from the past. But all in all, they had a hearty discussion.


    "Aunty, Uncle, I will be leaving now." Li Huan says to them while checking his wristwatch.


    "You are leaving already?." Mrs. Qin asked.


    "Yes. I wille to visit again before I travel back." Li Huan said with a polite smile.


    "You are free toe and visit anytime you want. You were Jia Li''s senior in high school, and you always had her back, you cane and visit any time you want." Mr. Qin said to him.


    "Then I would have to trouble Aunty and Uncle to take me in." Li Huan joked.


    "It''s not troublesome at all. We will be happy if you visit often." Mrs. Qin said as she patted his shoulder.


    Mrs. Qin then turned to Jia Li and asked her to walk Li Huan out.


    Jia Li smiled in agreement and followed Li Huan outside the house. Outside the door, Li Huan stopped in his steps and turned to nce at Jia Li, while Jia Li nced at him in confusion.


    Li Huan patted her hair twice before saying to her with a harmless smile, "On my way back, I was imagining what you would look like now, since I haven''t seen you in three years, and it turned out that I wasn''t disappointed. You have really grown into a beautiful young woman."


    Jia Li blushed at hisment, but she mouthed a word of thanks.


    With him still staring at her with a smile, Jia Li felt the situation was awkward, so she cleared her throat.


    "Brother Li Huan, when are you going to the City?." She asked as she gazed at his face.


    "I took a week off from work, so I will be around for a week." Li Huan replied as he turned around and started walking away in slow steps, and instinctively, Jia Li followed him.


    "That''s good." Jia Li said as she tried to hide the excitement in her tone, but it didn''t go unnoticed by Li Huan, who smiled to himself.


    "You look happy to see me, did you miss me?." Li Huan asked in a gentle tone while patiently waiting for Jia Li''s reply.


    Jia Li was taken aback by his question, and when she was trying to reply, she started to stammer. Li Huan smiled and touched her hair again saying,


    "Don''t mind me, I was joking. How is college?." He asked, changing the topic.


    "College? college is fine." Jia Li replied with her face down. She was still embarrassed by his previous question.


    "Alright, you can go back now, I will see you too." Li Huan said as he stopped in his steps.


    "Tomorrow?." Jia Li asked with a slight frown.


    "Why? you don''t want to see me?." Li Huan asked with a smile, and Jia Li quickly refuted his words.


    "No it''s not that, I''m going to school tomorrow."


    "Okay, we will see when youe back. Go back." Li Huan said as he gave her a little push.


    Jia Li waved at him before walking back into her house. Li Huan resumed walking after he saw her winter her house. He had a smile on his face as he walked back to his house.


    "Has he gone?." Mrs. Qin asked immediately Jia Li walked back into the living room.


    "Yes." Jia Li replied and attempted to walk past her parents, but Mrs. Qin asked, "What did you two talk about?."


    "You..." Mr. Qin said with an unbelievable look on his face.


    Jia Li looked surface at the question as she called out, "Mum!."


    "Alright, go to your room." Mrs. Qin said as she shooed her away with a smile.


    Jia Li looked wronged as she walked back to her room.


    "Why did you do that?." Mr. Qin asked with a frown.


    "It''s so fun teasing her. I don''t know why she is so shy. I''m worried that she can be easily tricked since she doesn''t have thick skin." Mrs. Qin said.


    "Do you think by doing things this way it would work?." Mr. Qin asked with his gaze on her.


    "It will work, at least she will get used to hearing me say things like that." Mrs. Qin replied as she picked up the remote and turned on the Tv.


    "No, if you continue teasing her, she may end up not talking to you again. You know how shy our daughter is, she will not be able to handle your teasing words." Mr. Qin reminded her.


    "Okay, I have heard you, let''s continue with the drama." Mrs. Qin said as she gestured to the Tv.

 Chapter 42 - Her True Feelings

    <h4>Chapter 42 - Her True Feelings</h4>


    "No, if you continue teasing her, she may end up not talking to you again. You know how shy our daughter is, she will not be able to handle your teasing words." Mr. Qin reminded her.


    "Okay, I have heard you, let''s continue with the drama." Mrs. Qin said as she gestured to the Tv.


    When Jia Li went back to her bedroom, she was blushing. Then she remembered that she didn''t exchange contact with Li Huan, so she feels a little sad. But looking at the big picture, she smiled to herself because she was still going to see Li Huan again.


    Jia Li picked up her sketchbook and sat on her desk, ready to create something new. There was an assignment given to them to make a dress for the next runway show they would be having in their college ????.


    Jia Li had to take the assignment seriously because something good wille out of it if her dress was chosen. She would start to make a name for herself.


    Jia Li spent an entire afternoon and evening, trying to sketch something new and desirable, but she failed.


    When Mrs. Qin walked into her room in the evening, she so many crumpled papers on the floor, and then an annoyed Jia Li, sitting on her desk with a frown.


    The next minute, she rolled up the paper and was about flinging it when she met her mother''s surprised look.


    "Mum!." Jia Li called out and still threw the paper to the floor.


    "What is going on here?." Mrs. Qin asked as she picked some of the crumbled papers to take a look.


    "I''m trying to create something, but what I penning ????? down is not what I want." Jia Li exined with a little frustration in her tone.


    "But you have a nice drawing here, why would you discard them?." Mrs. Qin asked after ncing at the designs on the papers she picked.


    "Mum, that is not what I want. That is not creativity. If I submit any of those drafts, my design will not be picked, and then I wouldn''t be asked to join thepetition." Jia Li revealed.


    "Come on, calm down and rx. You are not getting the inspiration you need now probably because you are not focused. I think you are very distracted and need to. clear your head before any creativity cane to your head." Mrs. Qin ad iced as she walked up to her and hugged her shoulders.


    Jia Li was still in a sitting position, so she hugged her mother''s waist with a frown.


    "Don''t be sad okay? Think about what I said. Maybe you are this way because Li Huan visited and you have a liking to him." Mrs. Qin said in a suggestive tone.


    "Mum?!." Jia Li called out as she looked up at her mother after leaving her embrace.


    "Jia Li don''t look at me that way, you know I''m saying the truth, and this is beyond teasing." Mrs. Qin said in a serious tone and she fixed her gaze on her.


    Jia Li was quiet for a while before moving her gaze away from her. She couldn''t refute her mother''s words because her words were true.


    Mrs. Qin sighed as she pulled Jia Li up and dragged her to sit on the foot of her bed.


    "Jia Li, talk to me, I am your mother. You always tell me everything and how you feel, and now, you don''t talk to me anymore. You know I wouldn''t judge you, just tell me your true feelings and as a mother and a counselor, I will advice you." Mrs. Qin said as she took her hand in hers and massaged it.


    Jia Li sighed before speaking up. "Mum, I don''t know if I like Brother Li Huan and just a mere infatuation, but I know that I certainly do not hate him. Since he visited today, I''ve been thinking about him."


    Mrs. Qin smiled as she spoke in a gentle tone. "Looks like we are about to have a long talk. it''s not bad to like someone especially of the opposite sex, at least that shows that you are attracted to them."


    "If you like Li Huan, be true to your feelings and don''t hide it, because if you continue to hide it, you won''t feel at ease, just like now. You are bothered and can not concentrate on your work. This is the first time you confessed that you like somebody, and I am really proud of you. Although these feelings didn''t just erupt, it was gradually built for some years."


    "So mum, what do I do? I like brother Li Huan, but I don''t think he likes me." Jia Li said with a frown.


    "How do you know he doesn''t like you? When he came today, he had half of his attention on you, and I think he likes you. From your interaction with him, can''t you tell his feelings towards you?." Mrs. Qin asked.


    "I don''t really know. I know he likes me, but I don''t know if it''s the kind of love a brother has for his sister, or he sees me as a true woman. Brother Li Huan lives in the city, and there are so many women there, what if he has a girlfriend?." Jia Li questioned with a racing heart.


    She was afraid that Li Huan had a girlfriend already and then she wouldn''t get to express her feelings. She liked Li Huan and would wish to date him if he liked her the same way, and asked her out.


    "If Li Huan has a girlfriend already, that could be a problem, you don''t want to be a man snatcher, do you?." Mrs. Qin asked with a knowing look on her face.


    "A man snatcher? Mum, how could you possibly think of that word? You know I''m not like that." Jia Li refuted with a frown.


    "It''s okay, I was just saying. We are not sure if Li Huan has a girlfriend already, and there is only one way to find out." Mrs. Qin said in a suggestive tone.


    ncing carefully at her mother, Jia Li asked in a curious tone, "What way?."

    <h4>Chapter 43 - Do You See Her As A Woman?</h4>


    "It''s okay, I was just saying. We are not sure if Li Huan has a girlfriend already, and there is only one way to find out." Mrs. Qin said in a suggestive tone.


    ncing carefully at her mother, Jia Li asked in a curious tone, "What way?."


    Mrs. Qin smiled before leaning in to whisper into her ears.


    "What?! there is no way I''m doing that." Jia Li said with a frown. That would be so embarrassing...


    "If you don''t do it, I will. I only want to help you." Mrs. Qin said while patting her shoulders.


    "Mum, it will be great if you get to that for me." Jia Li said in acknowledgment.


    "Of course I will do that for you. Just rx your mind and think of something else. Your inspiration will onlye if your mind is rxed. I''m going into the kitchen now,e and help meter.'' Mrs. Qin said as she slowly stood to her feet.


    " Thank you, Mum." Jia Li said after her.


    "Oh, it was nothing, anything for you." Mrs. Qin said as she blew a kiss towards her.


    Watching her mother walk away, Jia Li smiled to herself before standing up to pick up the paper mess littered all over her room.


    She sat back on the table and picked up her pencil to draw, but she couldn''t find any inspiration, so she put her papers aside and walked into the kitchen to help her mother out.


    "You came out too soon," Mrs. Qin said to her.


    "I still couldn''t calm my nerves, so I decided toe out and help earlier instead of wasting time in my room doing nothing." Jia Li replied, and she took over with washing the vegetables from her mother.


    "You''re still bothered because of Li Huan. Don''t worry, mother already promised to get you answers tomorrow." Mrs. Qin said to her with a smile.


    Jia Li felt a bit rxed and helped her mother to get dinner ready.


    Back at Li Huan''s home, Mrs. Li saw he was back and asked him with a smile.


    "Did you see her?."


    "Yes, I did. Mum, I thought I told you to rest and leave the cleaning to me?." Li Huan asked as he walked over to his mother''s side and took the and towel in her hands away.


    "I''m not sick anymore, I have already recovered." Mrs. Li said with a smile as she dly let him take the towel from her.


    "You are not through with taking your drugs. you''re only saying this because you suddenly felt a bit relieved, and the first thing that came to your mind was to get back to work." Li Huan said as he kept the towel aside and gently guided his mother to the couch.


    "Enough, I will listen to you. How is Jia Li, I haven''t seen her in a few weeks now." Mrs. Li asked. She liked Jia Li and would be d if they could be rted, but she still hasn''t made her stance known to anyone.


    "Jia Li is fine, and her parents are doing great as well. They asked about your health." Li Huan replied with a smile.


    He just couldn''t help recalling Jia Li''s shy expressions. He smiled to himself before ncing back at his mother who was staring at him with a teasing smile.


    "Mum, why are you staring at me like that?." Li Huan asked with confusion on his face.


    "Do you like Jia Li?." Mrs. Li asked after a while.


    "I like Jia Li." Li Huan replied, but with a neutral expression on his face.


    His attitude confused his mother, further. Thinking that he didn''t get her question right, she asked again.


    "Do you like Jia Li as a woman? Do you see her as a woman instead of a sister?."


    Li Huan felt that his mother''s questions were a bit hardcore. She didn''t even try to mince her words, and just asked the question directly.


    ''Well she did mince her words, but you couldn''t get her, so she decided to go all out ????.''


    If Li Huan was eating something right at the moment his mother asked this question, he would have been rushed to the emergency room. hoping on his food.


    "What? Am I wrong?." Mrs. Li asked, not quite understanding the reason her son reacted that way. Hello, she wanted a quick response.


    "Mum, you''re tired, go in and rest. I will clean up and prepare some food for you." Li Huan said.


    "Are you brushing my questions aside?." Mrs. Li asked as Li Huan helped her up from the sofa.


    "Mum, just go." Li Huan said to her as he pushed her gently till she was out of sight.


    No longer having anyone to bother him, Li Huan day back on the couch before sighing.


    He didn''t know what was wrong with his mother, but he prayed she would stop asking him questions like this.


    After sitting for a bit, he picked yo the hand towel and continued from where his mother stopped.


    After cleaning, he went to have his bath, and after which he went into the kitchen to prepare food for him and his mother.


    Their dinner was peaceful, unlike some people...


    After Fu Geming went back to his house with his family, he was very annoyed and embarrassed with his wife, so he snubbed her.


    He left the house without telling anybody his whereabouts and hasn''te back home. Now, it was time for dinner and he was nowhere to be seen.


    "Ling, call your father and know where he is, he is not answering my calls." Fu ChunHua asked Fu Ling with creased brows.


    "I don''t think he will answer my calls either." Fu Ling muttered to himself as he dialed his father''s number. After some rings, the man decided to answer his call.


    "Dad, dinner is served, where are you?."


    "Eat without me." Fu Geming replied and ended the call almost immediately.


    The call was on loudspeaker, so Fu ChunHua and Fu Meixu heard his words.


    Fu ChunHua''s facial expressions were ugly, and while Fu Meixu had a frown sitting on her face. As for Fu Ling, he put his phone back inside his pocket and picked up his chopsticks to eat, totally ignoring all of them.

 Chapter 44 - Is This Pride Or What?

    <h4>Chapter 44 - Is This Pride Or What?</h4>


    Fu Hua and his team have been very busy with the uing Autumn show, and. they have been working relentlessly.


    It has also been a few days since Fu Huast spoke with his girlfriend. He finally had some time to breathe after working tirelessly in his office this morning.


    While rxing, he remembered Feng Alix and checked his phone, but there were no calls or texts from her. He sighed and put his phone down, refusing to call her. He didn''t have the time to cate anybody.


    Fu Hua was used to people chasing after him. After thest call with his girlfriend, he knew she wasn''t happy with him, but he believed he didn''t do anything wrong, so he refused to indulge her.


    Fu Hua put his phone back on the desk, refusing to phone her. He had a lot of work to do other than to cate that girlfriend of his.


    A simr thing happened with Feng Alix. She was quite annoyed that Fu Hua hasn''t checked up on her, and she believed he knew she wasn''t in a good mood, but still refused to call her.


    ''Is this pride or what?.'' Feng Alix asked with a look of annoyance.


    She didn''t get a text or a call from her supposed boyfriend within these two days, and he was veryfortable. She was always the one calling to apologize, and he didn''t know how to cate a woman.


    ''Such an Ice-berg!.'' Feng Alix angrily.


    After calming down, she muttered to herself, "Since you don''t want to apologize and cate me, I will also do the same."


    Since she had a photoshoot for an advertisement today, Feng Alix''s manager called her toe downstairs.


    That''s right, due to her anger, she forgot that her manager has been waiting for her downstairs, so with the call, she was reminded about it and she picked her bag with her phone in hand and left her apartment.


    At the Qin house several kilometers away, Li Huan came to visit. This time around, the family of three was together.


    As they were talking about jobs in the City, Mrs. Qin asked Li Huan a question, to his surprise, and Mr. Qin''s astonishment, because he didn''t know the reason his wife would ask such a question.


    "Li Huan, since you''ve been in the City for some years now and with a good job, I''m sure some young women will be fighting over you. Do you have a girlfriend yet?." Mrs. Qin asked with a smile as she gazed at Li Huan.


    Jia Li felt embarrassed by the question so she threw her face away. Her face and neck were already red from the embarrassing question her mother posed.


    Even though he was surprised by the sudden question which was personal, Li Huan decided to reply. He smiled as he said, "No, Aunty, I''m still single."


    "Good." Mrs. Qin replied. His response made her happy. She so badly wanted to wink at Jia Li and give her a thumbs up ????, but then that will be oblivious.


    ''Well, there is still time after this to tease her.'' She thought.


    Jia Li on the other hand felt relieved that Li Huan was still single.


    ''That means I still have a chance.'' Jia Li said to herself in an excited tone.


    Li Huan didn''t know the reason Mrs. Qin asked that question, but he felt that since he was sessful and good-looking, it was normal for people to think he would have a girlfriend by now.


    "Honey, why did you ask that question? Li Huan is young and sessful you should respect his privacy." Mr. Qin to his wife as he held her hand.


    "There is no problem uncle, this family is like a second family to me." Li Huan said righteously.


    "Good!." Mrs. Qin said with a smile, so Mr. Qin had to smile as well.


    After Li Huan left their house that day, Mrs. Qin immediately dragged Jia Li to her room, after she came back from sending Li Huang off.


    "Mum what is it?." Jia Li asked as her mother dragged her to her room.


    "Shouldn''t you say something to me?." Mrs. Qin said with a smile as she directly looked into her daughter''s eyes.


    "Thank you!." Jia Li said before climbing into her bed.


    "What are you doing? You need to prepare something special for me, maybe a sweet dessert or something I like because I refuse to ept this verbal way of appreciation." Mrs. Qin said as she remained standing in her spot.


    "Alright, my Goddess, I will prepare a sweet dish to say thank you. Can you leave me now?." Jia Li asked with a smile.


    "No way, we are not done talking." Mrs. Qin said with an excited tone as she walked towards Jia Li''s bed to sit on it with a smile.


    "Mum! what do you want to hear?." Jia Li asked with a scrunched-up look on her face. She very well knew her mother was interested in gossip.


    "What did you and Li Huan talk about, you took a while toe back into the house. Your father noticed and I had to distract him." Mrs. Qin spoke just like the good mother that she was.


    "Nothing much. He asked how I was doing, then we exchanged contacts." Jia Li replied.


    "Is that all?." Mrs. Qin asked with a smirk.


    "He said he would call meter." Jia Li added as sheid down on her bed, refusing to look at her mother.


    "I can see you''re blushing, but there is no time for that. Come and make me your promised sweet dish, I will be waiting in my bedroom." Mrs. Qin said as she walked towards the door.


    Jia Li raised her head and turned to look at her mother who was about to leave her room.


    "Mum iste already, please leave it till tomorrow." She pleaded. She didn''t want to enter the kitchen to cook anything.


    "Hello baby, I''ll be leaving for work early tomorrow morning." Mrs. Qin informed her.

 Chapter 45 - Speaking In A Coquettish Tone

    <h4>Chapter 45 - Speaking In A Coquettish Tone</h4>


    "Hello baby, I''ll be leaving for work early tomorrow morning." Mrs. Qin informed her.


    "That won''t be a problem. I will make the sweet dessert for you, ande personally to deliver it to you at the hospital." Jia Li promised.


    "That''s fine by me. I would have loved you to give some to your dad, but he wouldn''t want you to go to the construction site." Mrs. Qin said to her.


    "Dad will certainly not agree, so I will keep his share, so he can eat it when hees back." Jia Li replied.


    "Okay, good night!." Mrs. Qin said to her before walking out of the room.


    Jia Li sighed in relief from the fact that her mother had left her room. Thinking about the events of the evening, Jia Li smiled to herself and rolled on her bed. Then discovering that her reaction was not appropriate, she stopped rolling in the bed. Her smile paused as well as she got out of bed and went to sit on her desk. She has work to do.


    The next morning, Jia Li''s parents left early to their various workces, leaving her alone in the house.


    Jia Li had college to go to, so after preparing her mother''s special order, she had her bath and got dressed. And then with a school bag in hand, she picked up the lunch box and left the house.


    She went directly to the hospital to deliver the food box.


    "Do you have lectures today?." Mrs. Win asked in surprise after she saw the backpack.


    "Yeah. Mum, enjoy the food, I have to leave now." Jia Li said. Then after passing the food box to her with a smile, she quickly left the hospital.


    Mrs. Qin sighed as she watched her leave. She wasn''t even able to say, ''thanks to her. And if she knew she had lectures today, she wouldn''t have asked her to make food for her. It was toote to regret.


    "I''d better eat this when it''s still hot." Mrs. Qin said in a low tone before turning around to walk back to her office.


    Li Huan did not call Jia Last night, or in the morning of the next day, he patiently waited till evening before he called.


    And Jia Li on the other hand has been waiting for his call, but that didn''t mean she would get distracted when lectures were ongoing.


    After herst lectures, Jia Li left the lecture hall. She was walking on the campus when her phone rang. Checking the caller ID, her heart began to beat fast.


    It was shown on her caller ID that Li Huan was the one calling.


    Jia Li could feel that her hands were slippery because of the sweat which appeared as a result of her being nervous.


    Jia Li answered the call but remained quiet till Li Huan spoke from the other side of the phone.


    "Jia Li, it''s Li Huan, how are you?." Li Huan asked in a gentle tone.


    "I''m fine." Jia Li managed to reply in a calm tone.


    "Where are you now, are you home?." Li Huan asked.


    "I''m still in college." Jia Li replied as abs tried to hide her nervous she was.


    "Okay, call me when you get back." Li Huan said to her.


    When the call ended, Jia Li felt like jumping for joy. She was very excited to hear from Li Huan. He said he would call herter, and he did call. Moreover, she did like his gentle tone.


    Jia Li still had this love-struck look on her face, when she noticed a familiar face staring intently at her.


    She looked shocked and almost screamed, but she was stopped by the young girl standing in front of her.


    "Don''t scream!." The girl said in amanding tone, and Jia Li obeyed.


    The girl was tall and had beautiful features. She was taller than Jia Li by a bit. She could very well pass as a model.


    "DanDan what are you doing here?." Jia Li asked after she forced the uing scream down jer throat.


    "I saw a familiar figure from afar, then I guessed, this must be Jia Li. Then as I came closer, your voice confirmed my guess. Tell me, who were you speaking to in a coquettish tone?." DanDan asked with squinted eyes.


    She didn''t manage to hear everything Jia Li hear what Jia Li talked about on the phone, but she managed to catch all her expressions.


    "What coquettish tone?." Jia Li denied tly.


    "Don''t worry, you don''t need to tell me. With time, I will find out." DanDan said to her with a smile that was not a smile.


    Jia Li smiled back at her, she didn''t look like someone who was hiding anything.


    DanDan observed for a while, and seen that she wouldn''t be able to get anything from her, she finally gave up. She linked arms with Jia Li, and the two walked towards the campus gate.


    They two chatted for a while till they parted ways since they were both going in different directions.


    "At least I was not caught." Jia Li said to herself.


    DanDan was in the Art Faculty, and she was aspiring to be a model. She has done a few photoshoots, but she was still not popr, but her college mates knew her dreams.


    When Jia Li was walking down the street which was close to her house, she met Li Huan. And this was a total coincidence.


    Li Huan went to buy some vitamin supplements for his mother, and he was on his way back when he saw the familiar figure.


    "Jia Li!." Li Huan called out with a smile before Jia Ki could call out to him.


    "Brother Li Huan." Jia Li called out in a gentle tone as they two met.


    "How was college today?." Li Huan asked, striking up a conversation.


    "It was fine." Jia Li gave a simple reply. She was still nervous. After receiving his call today in school, and then seeing him the next hour, she didn''t know how to react.

 Chapter 46 - Dressing Competition

    <h4>Chapter 46 - Dressing Competition</h4>


    "How was college today?." Li Huan asked, striking up a conversation.


    "It was fine." Jia Li gave a simple reply. She was still nervous. After receiving his call today in school, and then seeing him the next hour, she didn''t know how to react. She was still a bit shy and didn''t know how to face him.


    There was suddenly an awkward silence. Jia Li refused to nce at him, and kept her eyes straight.


    Li Huan nced at her, and noticed she wasn''t looking at him or saying anything, he thought she didn''t want to talk to him and unconsciously shook the nylon in his hand, it was only then that Jia Li nced at him.


    Jia Li noticed the leather in his hand and asked with a curious gaze, "Brother Li Huan, did you go out to buy something?."


    ncing at the leather in his hand with a smile, he replied, "Yes. I went to buy drugs ???? for my mother."


    "Your mother is still unwell?." Jia Li asked in confusion. She remembered that he mentioned his mother getting better yesterday, so what happened?


    "She caught a cold, so I had to go and go buy cold medicine. As for the other one, she has fully recovered.


    " Okay. I will cook some porridge and bring it over, Brother Li Huan, see youter." Jia Li said to him before walking away in quick steps.


    Li Huan had his hand stretched out and his mouth agape but he still couldn''t do anything. He could only watch helplessly as Jia Li walked away.


    Consoling Himself that she wasing to his house, he smiled to himself and walked towards the direction of his house.


    He has other thoughts, but he shook them away. He wanted to go to the Qin house to wait for her, but he knew that move would be inappropriate, so he turned around and walked back home.


    When Jia Li got home, she immediately started to prepare the porridge and started the preparation for dinner.


    After walking for two hours in the kitchen, the dinner and the porridge were ready. And with the sense that she might be dyed at the Li house, she served the dinner in thermo-yes and left them on the dining table for her parents.


    Then she washed up and oiled up the porridge in a sk and left the house with it.


    Mrs. Li was surprised to see Jia Li, and thetter weed her with a warm smile.


    Jia Li handed over the sk to her as she said, "Aunty, I heard from Brother Li Huan that you caught a cold, so I hope you won''t mind that I prepared such a in porridge for you."


    "You are such a kind and thoughtful child, thank you." Mrs. Li said as she took the sk from her. She offered her a seat, and just then Li Huan walked in with a warm smile on his face.


    Mrs. Li chatted with Jia Li for a while, with Li Huan chipping in some words from time to time. Jia Li nced at the wall clock in the living area before saying to Mrs. Li with a smile.


    "Aunty, it''s gettingte, I have to leave now."


    Mrs. Li smiled and allowed her to leave, but she instructed her son to send her back to her house.


    On their way back to the Qin house, Li Huan and Jia Li chatted about little things, but mainly about Li Huan''s life in the city.


    .When they finally got to the door of her house, Li Huan said goodbye to her before turning away.


    Jia Li smiled and walked in. Her parents were back already and were sitting at the dining table. Mrs. Qin saw her walk in and called her to the dining area.


    Jia Li smiled and greeted her parents beforeing to her seat.


    "Jia Li, where did you go to? You made a whole table of delicious dishes and disappeared." Mr. Li asked.


    Since they asked, Jia Li had no choice but to exin things to them.


    "How is Mrs. Li, now?." Hearing that Li Huan''s mother caught a cold, the couple asked.


    "Yes is fine now." Jia Li replied.


    Jia Li''s parents put more food on her te and asked her to eat.


    These days, their family was peaceful and harmonious. Maybe it was good that they were just three.


    It''s been a few days since the models were selected by FJ styles, and today, notices were sent to their agency to notify them of the date and time toe for measurement.


    Fu Meixu received the message from her agency, but she didn''t sound happy. Since she was exposed and confronted in front of the entire family by her cousin, she has been feeling down.


    She was not as thick-skinned as his mother was happy that things were progressing in her favor since their ns worked out.


    "Fu Hua has let you remain in FJ styles, so this is the opportunity to get to the top. Behave yourself when you get there because your cousin is still angry with us." Fu ChunHua advised.


    She could tell her daughter wasn''t happy, but she took the me for the shame because if she didn''t provoke Fu Hua, none of this would have happened.


    Fu Meixu sighed and slowly nodded. When the day for her measurements to be taken came, her agency sent her and the other senior actress to FJ Styles with theirpany van.


    On their way to FJ, Fu Meixu tried to curry favor with the A-list actress, but thetter gave short replies, and not getting enthusiasm from her, Fu Meixu snorted in her heart and gave up.


    ''Wait till I get to the top and see if you still dare to ignore me.'' Fu Meixu swore in her heart.


    It seems that what was happening in front of FJ styles was a parade, because all the models that were selected, came in theirpany vans, and they were all dressed as if they came for a dressingpetition.

 Chapter 47 - Piss Off!

    <h4>Chapter 47 - Piss Off!</h4>


    The models that came to FJ Styles to get their measurements taken, were ushered in by some of the staff. Each one of them dressed up to uphold their reputation and that of their agencies.


    When they were ushered into the room already prepared for them, some of the models who knew themselves talked to each other.


    Fu Meixu could see that she was the only model inferior in that room. She felt unease because nobody paid any attention to her.


    Shortly, the HR Manager of FJ Styles came to address them. She also told them the rules and regtions they have to abide by, during the period they would be working for FJ.


    Later, some people came to get their measurements taken, for different styles of the dresses they would be wearing during the Autumn Fashion show. The models were also asked to try out some dresses, jaunt to note the styles that fit them most.


    In Fu Hua''s office, his assistant just reported to him that all the models selected were present in the building except Feng Alix.


    "Why is she not here yet?." Fu Hua asked. He had a little frown on his face. He was very disciplined and always kept to time, so he was a bit annoyed that Feng Alix wasn''t there yet.


    "I have no idea, Sir." The assistant replied in a low tone. He was afraid of Fu Hua''s next action because he didn''t like excuses.


    "How long have you been by my side? Don''t you know that I don''t like such replies?!." Fu Hua asked in a heavy tone as he red at him.


    "When one of the models is missing, are you not supposed to call her agency to find out what''s causing the dy, or were you waiting for their call instead? Should I teach you your work?." Fu Hua asked in an angry tone.


    "I''m sorry, Sir, it won''t happen again." The assistant said with his head bowed and stood in the same position while waiting for further instructions.


    Fu Hua calmed down before instructing him. "Find out the reason Alix is not here yet from her agency. If the reason is not suitable, tell her agency that the contract would be terminated if she didn''t appear in 30 minutes. If they want me to send someone to help them read the uses in the contract, I will do that."


    "Okay, Sir." His assistant replied as he raised his head.


    Seeing that he was still standing there, Fu Hua asked with a frown, "What are you still doing here?."


    His assistant scratched his hair nervously, as he asked "Sir, would you like to address the models?."


    Fu Hua red at him, and he saw himself sprinting out from his office without looking back.


    Fi Hua sighed and nced back at his work.


    "Alix if you''re doing all of this to get my attention, then you''re wrong. You should know that I don''t joke when ites to working. " Fu Hua thought to himself aloud.


    After Fu Hua''s assistant passed the message to Alix''s agent, they immediately called her manager to know what was up at their end.


    It turned out that the reason Alix didn''t appear at FJ, was because she was ill, so she was currently resting at home.


    "Why didn''t you inform us, or FJ?!." The CEO of the agency asked the manager.


    Before the scheduled date, Alix told her manager that she would go to FJ alone, that she did not need toe with her. Her manager already knew she had a special rtionship with Fu Hua, so she didn''t reject her arrangement. Only when it was close to the time to appear at FJ, did the manager call to remind her, but she never answered her calls, so she had no choice but to go to her house to look for her.


    Getting into her house she didn''t see anybody in the living area, so she went into her bedroom in search of her, only to see her lying on her bed all curled up.


    And because it was so sudden, her manager forgot to call to inform the agency and FJ.


    Feng Alix has two managers, her mother, and the current one by her side. But since her mother was promoted, the current one has always been by her side.


    "You know need to go to the hospital. The agency just called now to shout at me." Her manager said to her.


    "Pass the inhaler to me." Feng Alix said as she stretched out her thin arm from the duvet.


    Her manager who has been in her bedroom for the past 15 minutes, sighed as she passed the Inhaler to her.


    "You can''t continue to stay here like this, I will book an appointment with the doctor." Her manager said to her while she made use of her inhaler.


    When Fu Hua got the news from his Assistant, he blinked his eyes for a second before asking him to leave.


    He was wondering if that was a drama yed out by Alix to get his attention.


    "Well, I will call herter, I''m in the middle of work." Fu Hua said to himself as he turned over to another page of the document he was reading.


    After having their measurements taken, the staff of FJ, served some refreshments to the twenty models in the room, before sending them off.


    Fu Meixu didn''t cause any trouble, and no model dared to cause any trouble, or they would be immediately disqualified and reced.


    In the van, Fu Meixu nced at the A-list actress sitting at her side. The actress coughed, and Fu Meixu picked up a bottle of water before passing it to her after uncapping it.


    The actress sneered as she pushed the bottle of water back to her.


    "I don''t need your help. Don''t think that I don''t what is going on in your mind. You''re trying to fawn over me for some benefits."


    Fu Meixu looked wrong and tried to say something to defend herself, but the actress caught her words off.


    "Don''t even try to say that I misunderstood you. You''re not even a fan, because you have never shown that side even though we work for the same agency. I am already sick of the fact that I had to share the same space with you, and now, you''re trying to get close to me? Piss off!."

    <h4>Chapter 48 - Fu Hua Pays A Visit To His Sick Girlfriend</h4>


    "Don''t even try to say that I misunderstood you. You''re not even a fan, because you have never shown that side even though we work for the same agency. I am already sick of the fact that I had to share the same space with you, and now, you''re trying to get close to me? Piss off!."


    Coincidentally, the van arrived at their agency, so the actress directly for down from the car with the help of her assistance, after saying her piece.


    Even though what she said was true, but Fu Meixu couldn''t help being humiliated. At home, she was humiliated, and outside, she kept getting humiliated.


    Now only she and the driver were left in the van. She was a neer, and so didn''t have an assistant to follow her around.


    Fu Meixu was so angry that her knuckles turned white because of the twisting. Her face also couldn''t hide her anger. She felt like crying, but she tried her best to bury her emotions deep down her heart.


    The driver heard everything and understood Fu Meixu''s predicament, but none of these concerned him.


    "Are you not getting off?." He tried to ask in a gentle tone. He didn''t want to scare her off. Although he was newly employed and did not know who Fu Meixu was, he still pitied her.


    Fu Meixu came back to her senses after the driver called out to her. She rxed her knuckles before smiling in apology, then she stepped out of the car and walked into the building.


    "Zhi Ruo, you dare to humiliate and embarrass me because I am beneath you? You belittle me so much, but don''t worry, enjoy the dame while itsts, because I will make sure to bring you down at the peak of your career, just you wait!." Fu Meixu swore.


    When Fu Hua finished from work, he directly drove to his girlfriend''s house without calling.


    He knows the password to her door, so getting in was not a problem. After keying in the password, the door made a ding and click sound, so he pushed it open and walked in like it was his home.


    Walking into the tidy living room, Fu Hua could perceive the smell of porridge. A slight frown appeared on his face as he began to think about a lot of things.


    As he was changing his shoes he saw an unfamiliar female shoe, and the frown on her face went deeper.


    "Is someone here with her?." He asked himself as he proceeded to change into the slippers there, and walk into the living room, and there he saw a bowl of piping hot porridge, releasing hot steam.


    "Looks like someone is here with her." Fu Hua concluded.


    Since their rtionship wasn''t public, Fu Hua would have left, but he directly walked into the house. And that is because he wasn''t scared of anyone.


    Just as he took his gaze easy from the porridge, he heard slow movements from the hallway, so he nced towards that direction and waited patiently for the people to appear.


    Feng Alix''s manager came to her bedroom to call her out after preparing a bowl of porridge for her. And as they came out from the bedroom, they saw a tall handsome figure staring at them.


    Both of them were surprised, but the manager was more shocked. Although she knew the person under her had some rtionships with the person standing before her, she was still shocked to see him in her house.


    "Mr. Fu!." The manager called out in surprise before bowing slightly in greeting, while still holding unto the slightly shivering Feng Alix.


    Fu Hua nodded in acknowledgment to the greetings. Then he put down the things in his hands before walking towards them.


    "How are you?." He asked as he took Alix Feng''s hands and supported her to the couch.


    "I''m fine." Alix Feng managed to reply in a raspy voice.


    Although Alix Feng was putting on a sweater, Fu Hua could still her hot her body was, so he asked with a frown.


    "Has she gone to the hospital?."


    The manager became cowardly in Fu Hua''s presence.


    "She refused to go, and she was too weak to leave the house, so I had to make some porridge for her, so she could eat and gain strength to move about."


    Fu Hua nced between the manager and his girlfriend before sighing helplessly.


    "Alix you''re sick and you need to see the doctor get better. By the way, his did you get a fever?." Fu Hua asked with the sick woman in his arms.


    At this point, Alix Feng Looked pitiful and fragile. Her lips were chapped, and her looks were dull. Anyone that saw her current state will believe she was pitiful and would want to protect her.


    Secured in Fu Hua''s embrace, Alix Feng felt her heart warm up.


    "I slept with the AC on, I forgot to turn it off." Alix Feng replied in a soft tone. Her voice also carried a tinge of weakness in it.


    "How can you be so careless. Autumn ising and you need to be careful with your health since you get cold easily. Make sure you wear protective clothing all the time." Fu Hua berated her in a gentle tone, and she nodded obediently.


    Then turning to her assistant who was still standing by the side, he said to her, "Bring the porridge and feed her while it''s still hot."


    "Are you going somewhere?." Alix Feng asked somewhat afraid as she looked up at him.


    "Rx I''m not going anywhere. Even though I can''t leave, it won''t be now. I just want to go out to make a call. I want the doctor toe and take a look at you." Fu Hua exined to her.


    "No, please don''t go. Make the call here." Alix Feng held onto his shirt while pleading with him in her most vulnerable state.


    Fu Hua felt his cold heart defreeze to a certain degree.


    "Okay, I won''t go, I will make the call here." He promised as he took out his phone to dial a number.


    After the first ring, the doctor at the other end of the phone answered the call.

 Chapter 49 - I Love You, And That Is A Fact.

    <h4>Chapter 49 - I Love You, And That Is A Fact.</h4>


    After the first ring, the doctor at the other end of the phone answered the call.


    "Dr. Li, I want you toe to ****** toe and take a look at someone, she is running a temperature, and she is an asthmatic patient..."


    After the call, Fu Hua kept his phone aside and took the porridge from the manager, and decided to feed his girlfriend by himself.


    "Alix, open your mouth." Fu Huamanded as he sent the spoon of porridge close to her mouth after blowing on it.


    Alix Feng gazed at him, and only opened her Smith to eat the porridge when he called out to her again.


    Fu Hua dipped the spoon into the bowl and scooped up another portion of the porridge and blew on it. Then he sent it into her mouth as he asked, "Why are you staring at me like that, is something on my face?."


    "I can''t remember whenst you were this nice to me." Alix Feng said as she managed a smile after swallowing the porridge.


    "Are you trying to say that I''ve been mean to you these days?." Fu Hua asked as he fed her another spoon without any emotion on his face.


    "Don''t you know? Your attitude made me depressed, and atst, I had a fever." Alix Feng replied in a soft tone, as she continued lying in his embrace.


    "I''m sorry. I want this Autumn show to be perfect, so I''m doing all I can. I''m sorry that I neglected you." Fu Hua apologized in a sincere tone as he continued to feed her.


    Feng Alix on the other hand, was very obedient as she ate the porridge he fed her without making a fuss.


    "Do you still love me? I want you to assure me that you still care for me." Alix Feng said as she gazed into his eyes. She wanted to see the most of his sincerity.


    Fu Hua''s hand paused in mid-air as he stared into her eyes.


    "I have already apologized to you, which means that you have a ce in my heart. How many times have you see me apologize to other people?." Fu Hua asked as he resumed his movements and sent the spoon of porridge into her mouth.


    "That''s true, you hardly apologize to people, even to me. An apology is like gold to you which you don''t easily give out." Feng Alix said as she became quiet in his embrace.


    "Alix, forget about other things. As long you know that I love you, that''s enough. I love you, and I''m sorry about other things. Now finish your porridge before it turnspletely cold." Fu Hua said to her with a slight smile on his face.


    Since he walked into her house today, this was the first time Alix was seeing him smile, so she became infected and smiled back at him as she finished her porridge happily.


    "You look happy." Fu Hua said to her as he wiped her lips ???? with the napkin.


    "And that''s because you made me happy. I thought you would continue to be mean to me after finding out I was sick." Alix Feng said as she cuddled next to him.


    "Why would you think like that?." Fu Hua asked as he held her in his arms and caressed her hair.


    "You didn''t call me even after finding out that I was sick. That got me worried, and then I thought you didn''t love me anymore and would soon break up with me." Alix Replied.


    When she was sure that the message of he''d being sick has been passed to Fu Hua, she patiently waited for his call, but she didn''t receive any calls or texts, so her heart was embittered. And because of that, her thoughts began to wander.


    Thinking that Fu Hua was tired of her now, she refused to let that thought go, as her mind and heart became entangled in a panic.


    She would never let Fu Hua break up with her. She didn''t even want to imagine another woman enjoying everything she has ever received from Fu Hua, be it his warmth, shelter, money, love, connections, care, sex, anything at all.


    She doesn''t think she can bear it so see another woman rece her, she would rather die or kill off that person for peace to reign.


    Thinking of the bliss she was currently receiving, Alix Feng smile as she tightened her arms around Fu Hua.


    Feeling the reluctance of the woman to let him go, Fu Hua smiled as he patted her back.


    "Alix, I love you and that is a fact. Don''t talk about breaking up with me, because I won''t. I will only break up with you if you will be the one to bring it up."


    Fu Hua made a huge promise that he willter regret in the future. At that time, he wished he could reverse time to this day, and erase the words he said, but by then, it was toote till regret, so he had to deal with a lot of things that came as a result of this particr promise.


    "Really, you mean what you say?." Alix Feng asked with a little excitement in her tone as she raised her head to stare at him as if to confirm what he said.


    "Silly. You still have a fever, rest." Fu Hua said with a smile as he pushed his head back on his chest.


    Right now, he actually meant his words, but who knew that he would regret itter?


    Alix Feng''s manager disappeared from their sight after passing the bowl of porridge to Fu Hua.


    Now she knew how close their rtionship was, she decided to stay away from them, in other not to be a nuisance to them.


    The manager only returned to their sight some minutester with a ss of warm water for Alix.


    Alix took the ss from her, as Fu Hua asked, "Is it hot?."


    "Not too hot, but I can manage." Alix Feng replied after taking some sips from the water.


    Just then, the doorbell rang.


    "I will get it." The manager replied as she rushed to the door.


    ANNOUNCEMENT: Dear readers, don''t mind the fact that I keep changing from ''Feng Alix'' to ''Alix Feng'' it is the same thing. I just use the one I feel is suitable in the current situation.

 Chapter 50 - Arrangements To Come Over

    <h4>Chapter 50 - Arrangements To Come Over</h4>


    The doctor Fu Hua called, walked in, and was surprised to see him there, but because of professional ethics, he didn''t say anything and went ahead with the treatment n after checking on Feng Alix.


    The doctor prescribed some meds for her, after putting her on a drip.


    "Fu Hua, you can go home, you''ve been at my side for hours now. You need to eat and rest to replenish your energy for the next day." Feng Alix said to him in a weak tone.


    Fu Hua nced at her worried before checking for time on his wristwatch.


    "Mr. Fu if you''re worried about her, don''t worry I will stay with her till she recovers." Her manager said as she nced at him respectfully.


    "I will stay with her for 30 minutes more." Fu Hua said as he sat on the couch in the bedroom.


    "I don''t think I willst for 30 minutes. Just go back home when I fall asleep." Feng Alix said to him with a smile.


    "You''re worried about me when the situation should be in reverse. Stop talking and save your energy. Remember that you have pending works, so you have to recover quickly and get back to them."


    Fu Hua said in a kind reminder, and Feng Alix almost took it the wrong way, but then she calmed down because she has known him for a few years and understands his words to some extent.


    "Let''s talk for a bit before I fall asleep. I didn''t check what you bought for me, what did you buy?." Feng Alix asked in a curious tone.


    She almost forgot that Fu Hua visited with some shop bags in his hands. She was too happy to be in his embrace, so she didn''t check things out.


    "It''s nothing much. I just got a little something for you. You''re a patient now, so I didn''t want to visit empty-handed." Fu Hua said in reply, refusing to divulge anything.


    "I remember that I saw a small bouquet ????." Feng Alix said as she urged her manager to go and check things out.


    Her manager left the room and returned within three minutester.


    She ced the flowers in a vase with water and kept them in a good position in the room.


    "I got you some choctes and your favorite snacks. You can eat them when you get better." Fu Hua said to her.


    "Thank you!." Feng Alix said in a grateful smile. Although the gifts were not nit worth much, she still appreciated them, because they came from him.


    Within ten minutes, Feng Alix became so drowsy before gradually falling asleep.


    "When she wakes up, tell her I will call tomorrow morning and will visit after work tomorrow." Fu Hua said to the manager before leaving.


    Gu Hua did as he promised. He phoned his girlfriend the morning of the next day and visited after work with a bouquet ????.


    He asked her to rest after recovery and told her that she could visit FJ to get her measurements takenter.


    When seven days were up, Li Huan traveled back to the city. Since he was in good talking terms with Jia Li, they didn''t have to worry aboutmunication between them.


    "It''s been two weeks since Li Huan traveled, do you two still keep in touch?." Mrs. Qin asked Jia Li about a very good day.


    "Yes. But most times, we are both busy and don''t talk till 3-4 dayster." Jia Li replied.


    When Feng Alix got better, she went to FJ Styles to get her measurements taken.


    Two weeks to the Autumn show, all the products that would be disyed during the fashion show were ready, and the Quality control team examined them to confirm that everything was in order.


    The next step FJ took was to invite the models for the dress fittings. There were street rules and regtions with everything FJ did.


    To avoid any sort of information from leaking, the models didn''t go into the fitting room with their phones or bags. They also took off their shoes before walking into the fitting room.


    The fitting room was rugged, and the AC was on, so nobodyined. All the female models present were giving equal treatment.


    The male models scouted by FJ, we''re given a different date to be avable for their dress fittings as well.


    This was going to be a very big fashion show! ????


    Fu Meixu who has always been born in the mind to get revenge on Zhi Ruo knew that the opportunity was still far, and she didn''t believe that ying small tricks on her will help, and besides, she couldn''t do anything in FJ.


    Fu Meixu believed that to deal with people kike Zhi Ruo who looked down on her, one big fatal blow was enough to close the case, and so she decided to wait patiently for that appointed day.


    Two weeks to the FJ Styles Autumn Fashion show, all the invites to the distinguished guests have already been sent out. Even the news carried the announcement.


    Two weeks to the D-Day, wasn''t far as people were thinking about. Only the staff at FJ Styles knew that the time was close for one of the biggest events in the City, and the country atrge.


    Many guests from different countries, States, cities, and cultures will being, so it will be a great event.


    On this day, Grandfather Fu phoned Jia Li to remind her of the event.


    "Jia Li, the event will be held in two weeks, remind your parents about it. I will send trustworthy people to pick you up, so you and your parents do not have to be worried about your safety." Grandfather Fu said to Jia Li.


    "Alright grandfather, I will remind my parents about it, take care of your health." Jia Li said to him with a smile.


    Then ording to the Old man''s instruction, she reminded her parents about the big Autumn fashion show the Old Mrs. Fu invited her to.


    "I think the Old man invited you for one of the big fashion shows in the country because he knew your major, and wanted to give you a good exposure." Mrs. Qin said to Jia Li.

 Chapter 51 - Suddenly Loosing Appetite

    <h4>Chapter 51 - Suddenly Loosing Appetite</h4>


    "I think the Old man invited you for one of the big fashion shows in the country because he knew your major, and wanted to give you a good exposure." Mrs. Qin said to Jia Li.


    "Yes, it''s true. He knows this exposure will be beneficial to you, so he invited you to it." Mr. Qin agreed with a smile.


    "I know. Grandfather Fu is so kind to me." Jia Li said in response.


    "When you go to the City, you can meet up with Li Huan, it will be easy to see each other since it is in the same City." Mrs. Qin said to Jia Li in a kind reminder.


    "That will be inappropriate. She is going to the Fu''s house, so how can she visit Li Huan from there?." Mr. Qin said with a frown.


    "What is inappropriate, Li Huan is a friend, so what is so wrong about visiting a friend? And besides, the Old man wouldn''t mind." Mrs. Qin protested.


    "Even if the Old man wouldn''t mind, but that action will question our upbringing. Jia Li, don''t listen to your mother. Don''t meet up with anybody after the event, juste home directly."


    The argument ended with Jia Li''s parentsing to an agreement that she wouldn''t visit anybody, ande home directly after the event.


    That same day, Old Mr. Fu called Jia Li''s parents to speak to them directly about taking Jia Li for a week. He also assured them of Jia Li''s safety.


    The Old man felt that this would be a better step, and would also show respect to them.


    Jia Li''s parents were so happy and readily agreed with everything the Old man said to them. After the call, the couple was beaming with smiles, as if they had found a gold mine.


    They even said to Jia Li. "The Autumn Fashion show is is a big show you will be d you didn''t miss. You are into Fashion and Designing, and your presence in this show will enlighten you more when you saw the creativity of the Top Designers in FJ Styles."


    While this family of three was happy and talking about the Autumn Fashion show, Mr. Qin''s Brother inw was in a panic.


    The Business he wanted to start up with his friend, turned out to have failed because he invested the money he was supposed to use to steady the business, which seemed like a good n.


    But the worse happened. It turned out that the investment he made with his friends, was a scam. All the money he had left, had been buried into the fake investment. He felt that his heart would stop beating the next minute.


    Now, the loan sharks were on his neck. When the time reached for him to return the money to them, he didn''t even have a penny to return, what devastating news.


    And because of that, he hasn''t been sleeping in his house, because he didn''t want his wife to notice what was wrong with him.


    His wide on the other hand thought that he was busy with the new business he was starting with his friends, and so didn''tin.


    She noticed that he would onlye back for breakfast and lunch, and then disappear again in the evening. He looked as if he had lost a lot of weight, so she became worried and asked about it, but he waved the question away.


    "It''s the stress of starting a new business."


    "When the Business starts up, you won''t be looking this haggard and tired again, eat more." His wife assured him by putting more vegetables and meat on his te.


    ncing at the table filled with different kinds of expensive dishes meant for the rich, the man suddenly felt that his mouth was bitter, and he suddenly lost appetite for the food.


    Thinking that his life was already on the line, he didn''t know what to do. He has already dyed the repayment by a month and a half, what was he going to do?


    A week to the Autumn Show, Fu Geming returned to the Fu Vi with his family, per agreement with the old Man.


    When he came back with his family, there wasn''t any enthusiasm from the servants, but they didn''t dare to show it off so tantly.


    What the servants were thinking, was that the trouble maker was back, and there wasn''t going to be Peace for a few days.


    Of course, Fu ChunHua didn''t know what the servants thought about her. She wasn''t even in the mood to be happy, because Fu Hee her nemesis was still around, and wouldn''t forget to take the chance to gloat on her.


    Thest time, she was forced to leave, and now that she hase back because the Old man allowed them to, she was sure that Fu Hee would make fun of her.


    When Fu Geming arrived with his family, they only met Old Mr. Fu and Fu Hee. Fu Hua and Fu YingPei were in thepany, while his brother, Fu Wang Lei, was busy with some military affairs, so hasn''t been around for a few days now.


    Fu Hee gave them a warm wee, while the Old Man nced at them and nodded in return to their greetings.


    "Father, how is your health now?." Fu ChunHua asked with a fawning smile on her face.


    "If you can''t see that I''m healthy, are you wishing for me to suddenly fall I''ll, so you can do as you like in this family?". Old General Fu asked sternly.


    Fu ChunHua suddenly became afraid of his words. The worst part of it all was that she didn''t even know how to refute her words.


    Fu Hee felt ddened in her heart with the atmosphere. It felt good seeing Fu ChunHua in a dilemma.


    Seeing that the atmosphere was tensed, Fu Geming decided to speak up.


    "Father please forgive her, she was only trying to say something nice after causing troublest time."


    ''More like guilt-stricken.'' Fu Hee sneered in her heart.


    ANNOUNCEMENT: I will postpone this novel going premium this week, in return, let''s work hard to reach 200 power stones at the end of this week, then you will also get rewarded with a mass release of 5 chapters on 18/07/2021. So please, give all your power stones to this book, and you will get the reward of a mass release ????.

 Chapter 52 - As For Your Apologies, I Will Accept

    <h4>Chapter 52 - As For Your Apologies, I Will ept</h4>


    "Father please forgive her, she was only trying to say something nice after causing troublest time."


    ''More like guilt-stricken.'' Fu Hee sneered in her heart.


    "ChunHua, don''t forget the rules this time around. If you cause trouble, I will immediately kick you out and ban you from ever stepping your feet into this house. Secondly, when Fu Huaes back, take Meixu with you and go and apologize to him for meddling with hispany." Grandfather Fu said to her


    "Yes, Father." Fu ChunHua replied as her heart was squeezed in pain.


    She couldn''t believe the Old man asked her to Apologize to Fu Hua. How can an elder apologize to a younger generation?


    Fu ChunHua thought with a sense of pride in her.


    Old Mr. Fu waved his hand, asking them to leave.


    "When Fu Huaes back, ask him to see me in my study." Old Mr. Fu said to Fu Hee before walking away.


    .When the Old man was finally out of sight, a smile yed on her face as she folded her arms.


    Who knows what she was thinking.


    When Fu Hua returned from work, Fu Hee went to greet him. She was all smiles as she took his coat from him.


    "Fu Hua, you''re back."


    "Mmm." Fu Hua hummed in response as he let her take his coat. But he was still waiting for her to say what she wanted because it was rare for her to wee him.


    Fu Hee didn''t say anything to him and only led the way to his bedroom.


    "Your Uncle came back with his family today." Du Hee revealed as she hung his coat on the coat hanger in his room.


    "I know." Fu Hua replied as he removed his cufflinks and kept them on the table.


    "Oh!." Fu Hee replied.


    There was silence for a few seconds before Fu Hua spoke up slowly, "Mum, what do you want?."


    "Ah! that? Your grandfather wants to see you in his study. So, freshen up and go and meet, I will go and check on the dinner." Fu Hee said to him with a smile.


    Initially, she was tempted to gossip with him, but she knew that would be a wrong move.


    Who was Fu Hua, and what kind of person is he?


    "Noted." Fu Hu said to her before walking into his closet.


    Fu Hee sighed as she watched him walk away. She wanted to ask him about work, but he had already walked away, so it was a bitte.


    After having a bath, Fu Hee changed into some clothes. The clothes may have looked casual at first nce, but it you take another look, you will know that this fashion God was still practicing fashion even at home.


    Coming out of his bedroom, he saw his younger brother approaching.


    "Where did you go to?." Fu Hua asked with a frown when he perceived the stench of alcohol from him.


    Fu YingPei winked at his brother. "I went to hang out with some friends."


    "You reek of alcohol. How much did you drink?." Fu asked as his gaze narrowed down to him.


    "I didn''t drink much. Maybe two or three bottles. But don''t worry, I''m not drunk, and I didn''t drive home, so I will have to trouble you to give me a ride to work tomorrow." YingPei said to him with a smile, then he tried to walk past him.


    "Where do you think you''re going to? Are you sure you''re okay? Who brought you home?." Fu Hua asked as he blocked his way.


    "I came home in a cab, and then had to make a call to be picked up from the gates, you know, it''s a long-distance from the gate to the house. I''m going to my bedroom, I need to cleanse myself from the stench of the alcohol the drunkard spilled on me." YingPei said and sighed at the end of his statement.


    Well, that exins the reason he smelled like he was soaked in a gallon of alcohol.


    "You''re going to your bedroom? Well, it''s that way." Fu Hua said as he dragged him and pushed him into his bedroom.


    It turned out that YingPei was going the wrong way, so Fu Hu walked him to his bedroom and pushed him inside.


    After closing the door, Fu Hua raised his sleeve to his nose and frowned after perceiving the smell of alcohol, so he walked back to his bedroom to spray more perfume.


    As he walked along the hallway, he met his Aunt and cousin.


    Fu Hua wanted to walk past them, but Fu ChunHua stopped him with a smile.


    "Fu Hua, Aunty is sorry aboutst time, so Meixu and I came to apologize to you." Fu ChunHua said as she dragged Fu Meixu to stand beside her.


    Fu Meixu also apologized in a small voice. She was afraid of this cousin of hers because he has never smiled at her.


    Fu Hua turned and nced at them, then with a serious look on his face, he said to them. "Aunt, it will be good if what happened before doesn''t repeat itself a second time. As for your apologies, I will ept it."


    After saying his piece, he turned around and walked away without waiting for any response from them.


    "It''s a relief that he didn''t say any other thing." Fu ChunHua said as she dragged her daughter away. She still felt wrong to have apologized to Fu Hua.


    "Have you tidied up everything rted to the Autumn Fashion Show?." Grandfather Fu asked Fu Hua, who was sitting in front of him.


    Fu Hua was his pride, so he looked up to him with some respect.


    "Yes. We have made contact with our dealers to get the raw materials ready. After the fashion show, there will be many people making orders." Fu Hua replied.


    "Good." Old Mr. Fu responded. Then he brought up another important matter, and they talked about it.


    When they two finished talking, they went downstairs for dinner.


    Five days to the Fashion Show, the Fu Family just finished dinner and was still sitting around the dining, when Old Mr. Fu spoke up...

 Chapter 53 - Family Of Three

    <h4>Chapter 53 - Family Of Three</h4>


    Five days to the Fashion Show, the Fu Family just finished dinner and was still sitting around the dining, when Old Mr. Fu spoke up...


    "I have an important guest that will being over in two days. I want everybody to be respectful and amodating. If I learn that any of you acted out of line, the individual will be punished ordingly."


    His sudden announcement surprised the rest of the Family members including Fu Hua.


    He finished having a conversation with his grandfather beforeing down for dinner, why didn''t the old man tell him anything?


    "Father, who is this special guest you are inviting over?." Fu Lei asked in a curious tone. He asked the question every other person wanted an answer to.


    Old Mr. Fu nced over at him. "You will see when shees."


    "A she?." Fu ChunHua thought to herself in surprise.


    Turning to Fu Hee, Old Mr. Fu instructed, "Fu Hee, you will be in charge of my guest when shees. Have a room prepared for her and get the necessary things needed."


    "Yes, Father." Fu Hee replied.


    The old man entrusted his guest to her to take care of, which means that the person was important to him, so she has to do a good job with the task assigned to her.


    "During her stay here, I don''t want any drama." Old Mr. Fu added with his gaze on Fu ChunHua.


    Fu ChunHua wanted to protest, was she the only one that liked looking for trouble?


    Fu YingPei just like others was very curious about this person his grandfather was being so mysterious about.


    "Grandfather, where is she from? Have I met her before? How long will she be staying over?."


    "Stop asking questions and do as I instruct." Grandfather Fu berated him.


    Old Mr. Fu''s words, caused the rest of the family members to look forward to his guest''s visit.


    They were curious and really wanted to know who this person was.


    The next day, Mrs. Qin took a day off and dragged Jia Li to go and shop for new clothes.


    "Mum I don''t need new clothes." Jia Li said to her, but her words fell on deaf ears.


    "You need new clothes. What kind of ce are you going to, have you asked yourself that question?." Mrs. Win said as she dragged her out of the house.


    "Mum, but it''s not necessary. I will only be staying there for a few days, so there is no need to change my wardrobe. And besides, Grandfather Fu understands my background." Jia Li said in protest.


    "But his family do not understand. You are the guest that he invited, so do you want to embarrass him by going over there with your shabby clothes?." Mrs. Qin said as she red at her.


    Jia Li got her mother''s point and shut up. But she was still worried about her mother spending money just for her to look presentable.


    Mrs. Qin brought Jia Li to a store and bought a few clothes for her. She also bought two new footwear for her.


    When they got home, her mother helped her to pack her things into a small new suitcase ???? she bought for her.


    "Mum, don''t you think this looks like I''m moving into the Fu family?." Jia Li asked.


    Oh! Jia Li, if only you know that you are actually moving into the Fu Family ????


    "There is nothing wrong with this luggage. It''s already the smallest size. and besides, that''s the only thing you''re taking with you apart from your shoulder bag." Mrs. Qin said as she gathered her sketchbook and pencils, and put them into the luggage.


    "If you say so." Jia Li said tiredly as she could only rx and watch her mother pack up her stuff for her.


    That evening, Mr. Qin bought a lot of meat (Beef, Pork, Chicken, etc.) on his way home. His reason was that Jia Li would be leaving them for a few days, so he had to spoil her for a bit.


    Mrs. Qin agreed with him and took the stuff he bought to the kitchen to cook up a hearty meal.


    She didn''t allow Jia Li toe in to help her. She did the work all by herself.


    Jia Li felt so happy at being pampered by her parents. She was their only child and will forever be their Baby.


    That night, the family of three had a sumptuous dinner and they talked andughed as they ate their food.


    In the morning of the next day, Jia Li refused to have breakfast, because she was nervous. Someone the Old Man sent, wasing to pick her up, so she was too nervous to eat.


    This would be her first time in another big city, or more like country, apart from the other nearby city, she was attending college.


    "Jia Li I know you''re nervous, but you have to try and eat." Mrs. Qin said as she pushed back the te of sandwiches ???? to her.


    "Mum, do you want me to embarrass myself? I may throw up in the car if I get too nervous and uneasy." Jia Li said with a frown.


    She was too nervous to eat. She was going to a far ce, but that didn''t coerce her to eat.


    "Jia Li, just take a bite. This is thest time you will dine with us before you will travel, so eat something, okay?." Mr. Qin said to her with a gentle demeanor.


    Jia Li finally relented and ate a little, and that made her parents happy.


    Soon after eating, their doorbell rang, and the family of three nced at each other before Mr. Qin went to get the door.


    It turned out that the people Grandfather Fu sent to pick Jia Li up, were around.


    Mr. Qin greeted them and then went in to inform his wife and daughter.


    "He actually sent a soldier, his butler, and a driver?." Mrs. Qin asked in a surprised tone.


    "Yes. Old Mr. Fu really has our daughter at heart, and now, we can rest assured that she will be in safe hands." Mr. Qin said with a smile.

 Chapter 54 - Bye, Baby

    <h4>Chapter 54 - Bye, Baby</h4>


    "Mum, Dad, it''s time for me to leave. Don''t worry about me, I will be safe and wille back at most in 7 days." Jia Li said to her parents as her father to her luggage to the door.


    The soldier in uniform took the luggage from Mr. Qin. He opened the car booth and put it inside.


    "Jia Li, how can you think of leaving us when we have had ourst moments together?." Mrs. Qin said to her while holding onto her arm.


    "Mum what are you saying? it''s not like you''re not going to see me again. I will be back soon." Jia Li said in a pampered tone as she held her mother''s arm.


    "Let''s take pictures together." Mrs. Qin said as she urged Jia Li to take out her phone.


    Jia Li nced at the Butler, who nodded at her with a smile. She was thinking she was wasting their time, but it was good he understood.


    "Wife, don''t dy Jia Li." Mr. Qin said to her.


    "It''s just a few pictures." Mrs. Qin said as she took the phone from Jia Li and turned on the camera.


    The family of three posed as Mrs. Qin took the selfie.


    Mrs. Qin kissed Jia Li''s cheeks, and thetter shut her eyes with a smile on her face, while Mr. Qin nced at them with a smile.


    This scene was captured by Mrs. Qin.


    "Mum!." Jia Li called out in embarrassment. Thu was still outside, and she kissed her in front of strangers.


    "What''s there to be embarrassed about. I''m your mother. Take a look at the picture, it turned out well." Mrs. Qin said as she pointed at the phone.


    Jia Li and her father put their heads together to take a good look at the picture. The picture was fine, so Mrs. Qin decided to take more pictures of them.


    She wanted up asking the butler to help them take the pictures. She wasn''t embarrassed at all, but Jia Li and her father looked embarrassed.


    The Butler smiled and took the pictures for them.


    "Jia Li, don''t forget to send the pictures to me." Mrs. Qin reminded Jia Li.


    "Okay." Jia Li said as she hugged her mother.


    "Call me every day, and take care of yourself. Greet Old Mr. Fu." Mrs. Qin said to her before letting her go.


    Mr. Qin hugged his daughter and handed her a red packet after that.


    "Dad?." Jia Li called with astonishment written all over her face as she held onto the red packet that contained a thick ward of cash.


    "You''re going to a far ce, so your mother and I put this together for you. You don''t have to manage anything, I can still take care of you and your mother even till you get married." Mr. Qin said as he patted his chest.


    "Oh! Thank you, Dad! Thank you, Mum!." Jia Li said in an emotional tone as she enveloped her parents in a hug.


    Jia Li felt touched by her parents'' gesture. She knew they didn''t have enough to spend like this, because they were also saving up for her future, but still, they sacrificed this much for her.


    They really did love her so much!


    "Don''t cry. Go ahead, the Butler has been standing here for a while now." Mr. Qin said as he patted her shoulders.


    "My baby, don''t cry okay? Just kiss us, and be on your way." Mrs. Qin said as she wiped Jia Li''s tears.


    Surprisingly, Jia Li kissed them both on their cheeks. "I love you both a lot, thank you!."


    "We live you too. Don''t forget to pass the health tonics to Old Mr. Fu, and extend our greetings to him." Mr. Qin reminded.


    "Okay, bye!." Jia Li said as she hugged her parents one more time.


    The Butler had a smile on his face as he stepped in.


    "Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, don''t worry, we will look after Miss Jia Li, and we will bring her back safely."


    "Thank you!." Mr. Qin said to him. Then, he stood there with his wife as they watched their daughter get into the car.


    They waved goodbye to her with happy smiles on their faces.


    Mrs. Qin blew a flying kiss ????? to Jia Li, and even said, "Bye Baby."


    The Butler bowed to the Qin couple before getting into the back seat of the car.


    The soldier closes the door. Then he got into the front passenger of the car, and the driver ignited the car and drove off.


    The Win couple stood there till the car left their sight.


    "She will be safe right?" Mrs. Qin asked as her tone turned worried.


    "She will be safe, I have a hunch about this. We also want her to be exposed, so she doesn''t have to be ignorant about the world." Mr. Qin said to her as he ced his hand on her shoulder and guided her inside the house.


    When her parents had disappeared from her sight, Jia Li stopped looking back.


    "Miss, don''t worry, the Old General knows you have a good rtionship with your parents, so he has arranged so you will see your parents every day, even though it won''t be live." The Butler exined.


    "Thank you!." Jia Li said as she sniffed.


    Then she fished out her phone from her pocket and started ncing at the pictures she took with her parents a few minutes ago.


    The car drove for 30 minutes before the appeared at the Airpot.


    This was Jia Li''s first time at the Airpot, so she looked on with amazement. Although this was a local airport, I still, felt delighted.


    "Butler Sir, are we riding the ne?." Jia Li asked.


    "Yes. Miss Jia Li, please call me Butler Gu." Butler Gu said to her in a kind smile.


    "Okay." Jia Li replied, and they got out of the car, while the soldier took out her luggage from the boot of the car, and the driver drove off.


    The three people walked into the Airport, and two people came over to lead the way for them.


    Atst, Jia Li found out they were taking a private Jet, and she was more astonished.

 Chapter 55 - Jia Li Meets Old Mr. Fu

    <h4>Chapter 55 - Jia Li Meets Old Mr. Fu</h4>


    Jia Li was treated like the little princess of a wealthy family on her journey to the Fu Family. She was given first-ss treatment.


    She was served breakfast on the jet. The food was too fancy for her to touch, she didn''t know how to use the cutlery ???? and she didn''t know how to ask for a spoon, she was embarrassed.


    Butler Gu noticed the way she was staring at the food, and then at the cutlery, so he knew she might not be ustomed to using cutlery, so he asked for it to be changed.


    "Thank you!." Jia Li said to him with a grateful smile.


    Jia Li felt grateful the breakfast that was served wasn''tplicated, otherwise, she would be embarrassed at not knowing how to eat it.


    This was Jia Li''s first time flying, so her interest was picked, as she nced at the sky through the shielded window. She was nervous as well, so she didn''t eat much of the food that was given to her.


    "Miss is the food not to your taste?." Butler Gu asked.


    "No, I like it. I''m full, thank you!." Jia Li replied.


    Two hourster, the Jetnded in a private military location. There, a car was waiting to pick them up.


    Jia Li was marveled at the sight and the treatment given to her. She felt like a lost princess about to be reunited with her Royal Family.


    Jia Li got into the car and the Butler got in after her.


    The car she was sitting in, was quite luxurious. Although she couldn''t tell the price, she also didn''t want to think about it, because she it was very expensive.


    On their way to the Fu mansion, Butler Gu briefed Jia Li about the Fu Family.


    "...there is nothing to be afraid of. So Miss, you can rx." Butler Gu said to her with a smile.


    Jia Li could only nod nervously as they approached the Big Mansion with Huge ck gates.


    The gates opened automatically and their car drove in. It was quite some distance from the gate to the building.


    When they got very close to the building, Jia Li could see a fountain ?. The sight was indeed beautiful to behold.


    "Miss, we are here!." Butler Gu announced with a smile. It was then that Jia Li realized that their car hase to a stop.


    Before she could open the car door, the soldier that came with them, opened the car door for her and held the car door open for her.


    Jia Li thanked him as she got out of the car. Then her eyes were fixed on the magnificent building in front of her.


    She was deeply amazed!


    "Miss, this way!." Butler Gu gestured to her toe with him.


    "My bag." Jia Li said as she nced back at the car to see the soldier opening the boot.


    "Don''t worry, he will bring it in." Butler Gu assured her, and only then did she follow him.


    The scenery before her was very beautiful that she couldn''t help looking around a little. But no matter how she tried to mask the ufortable she felt, the Butler could still feel it.


    "Miss, don''t be too nervous." Butler Gu said as they stepped into the house.


    Two servants came before them and bowed in greeting, then, they helped them to change out of their shoes.


    "Miss, please follow me!." Butler Gu said as he led Jia Li deeper into the house.


    Jia Li could see how well the house was furnished. It was indeed a house for the wealthy.


    Butler Gu led Jia Li directly into the sitting room.


    "Miss, please wait here, I will go get Old Mr. Fu." Butler Gu said to her after offering a seat to her.


    Jia Li nodded and sat down and nced at her surroundings. She was more nervous now.


    She knew the Old man was rich, but not to this extent. She was shocked by his wealth and power.


    She felt burdened because she has been calling the old Man and addressing him as if he was just a second grandfather to her.


    When the Old man who was a call in his study saw his Butler, he quickly ended the call.


    The old man didn''t wait for the Butler to speak as he quickly asked, "Jia Li is here?." There was an evident excitement on his face.


    "Yes. Miss Jia Li is downstairs." The Butler announced with a smile.


    "What are you waiting for? Quickly bring me there." The Old man ordered as he stood up and followed Butler Gu out.


    He was scared of keeping Jia Li waiting. If only he was informed on time that they were close, he would havee out to directly wee her.


    Jia Li was a little easy after waiting for a few seconds. The soldier brought her bag in and kept it beside her before disappearing.


    Jia Li was served a bottle of warm water by the servants.


    She only said a word of thanks, and left the eater aside, while waiting for the Old man to appear.


    Finally, she saw the Old man she hasn''t seen in over two months step out from behind Butler Gu.


    He had an excited smile on his face as he approached her.


    "Jia Li, you are here. I''m happy to see you after a long time." Grandfather Fu said happily as he came to stand in front of her.


    "Gran...Grandfather Fu, it''s good to see you too." Jia Li said nervously.


    "Why are you nervous? Are you suddenly scared of me, after not seeing me for a few weeks?." Grandfather Fu asked with a smile.


    "I''m not scared of you." Jia Li lied as she looked away.


    "Alright, I understand, sit. Don''t be intimated by me or anything at all. I am still the same Old Man you saved his life weeks ago." Grandfather Fu said as he gestures to her seat, while he sat on another sofa close to her.


    "Grandfather Fu, how is your health now?." Jia Li asked worriedly.


    "I''m fine. My doctor says I''m fine, so there is nothing to be worried about." Grandfather Fu said happily.


    He was very gentle with Jia Li, but when his second daughter-inw asked the same question, he rebuked her and almost used her of wishing him unwell.

 Chapter 56 - Is Grandfather Fu Trying To Fatten Me Up?

    <h4>Chapter 56 - Is Grandfather Fu Trying To Fatten Me Up?</h4>


    Grandfather Fu interacted with Jia Li for a while and she immediately got ustomed to him.


    While interacting with the old man, it dwelled on her that he was still the same Grandfather she saved, and interacted with back in her hometown.


    Grandfather Fu was rxed when he noticed that Jia Li was nowfortable with him just like before, so he asked her to call her ''Grandfather '' directly.


    "There''s no need to add Fu, just call me Grandfather."


    Jia Li was worried it wasn''t proper, but she could only follow the Old man''s orders because she wanted to make him happy.


    Grandfather Fu didn''t speak with Jia Li for a long time, before asking a servant he arranged personally for her, during her stay there, to send her to the bedroom arranged for her.


    "Just go to your room and rx. I''m the only person at home now. I will introduce you to the rest of the family members at dinner. If you eat anything, don''t forget to tell your personal servant." Grandfather Fu reminded her.


    "Thank you, grandfather." Jia Li said gratefully as a smile bloomed on her face.


    "Go on, don''t forget to call your parents, I know they must be worried about you." Grandfather Fu said to her, before finally letting her off.


    The servant assigned to Jia Li carried her luggage ???? for her and escorted her to the room Fu Hee prepared for her.


    Jia Li was marveled at the sight. She couldn''t believe that such a big room was prepared for her. The room exuded these feminine chills.


    She could tell the room was prepared for her and not just randomly given to her. She felt happy at being treated very well.


    "Miss, this is your room, and this is your walk-in closet." The servant said as she pushed the door open and led her into the walk-in closet.


    The walk-in closet was big, and it was basically open apart from the two nighties and flip-flops Fu Hee bought for her.


    "I like it." Jia Li said with a smile.


    She saw that the servant was unpacking her things, so she wanted to help her, but she was stopped.


    "Miss, this is my job, I will do it." The servant said as shepletely helped Jia Li to unpack her things.


    Jia Li could only stand aside and watch the servant help her out.


    After helping her to unpack, the servant took her to the bathroom and showed her how to use some of the things there.


    Jia Li was grateful to her and thanked her.


    "Miss, you can rx. If there is anything, I wille to you." The servant said before leaving, but not without helping her to prepare a bath.


    When the servant left, Jia Li took another look around her room. She was excited and couldn''t help touring the room by herself alone.


    "Mum and Dad must be worried about me!." Jia Li said as she gave her parents a call.


    Because of Jia Li, her Parents took a day off to send her off. Now finally receiving a call from their daughter, they answered the call immediately and struggled to put their head on the phone, so they could see their daughter properly since it was a video call.


    "Mum, Dad, I am at the Fu Mansion." Jia Li announced with excitement in her voice.


    Jia Li ended up touring her parents around her room, and they spoke for over 20 minutes.


    Jia Li''s parents were happy with the arrangement of the Old man-made for their daughter. Now, they could rest assured that she was in safe hands.


    Jia Li promised to call her parents at night, before ending the call.


    Looking around her room one more time, Jia Li smiled brightly and kept her phone aside, before walking into the bathroom to have a bath.


    In the bathroom, everything was already set up for her. Because of the Old man''s order, Fu Hee made sure to get quality feminine products and toiletries for Jia Li.


    From the soap, towel, body cream to every other thing she would be needing, were provided for her.


    Jia Li felt a settlement in her heart, as we entered the bathtub to bathe in the hot water that had already been prepared for her.


    Jia Li didn''t feel like getting out of the bath, but she had to, as the water was turning cold.


    Jia Li changed into one of her clothes that were already in the hanger, before walking out and going to pick her phone.


    She sat on the bed and felt howfortable it was.


    "It''s nice to be rich." She said to herself.


    She opened her gallery and nced at the pictures she took her parents before embarking on her journey and smiled.


    A few minutester, a knock was heard on her door, so Jia Li went to open the door without asking.


    "Miss, you could have just asked me toe in instead of troubling yourself." The servant that served her earlier said, as she walked in with a food cart.


    Jia Li could only agree with her, as she had nothing else to say. But once she nced at the food cart, she was shocked.


    Seeing her facial expression, the servant found it funny but dared not tough.


    "Miss, Old Mr. Fu ordered the kitchen to prepare these for you. He doesn''t know what you like, so he had the chefs prepare a little of everything."


    "What''s all these? Is Grandfather Fu trying to fatten me up?." Jia Li asked with a look of astonishment.


    Her voice sounded funny, without any hint of disrespect.


    "Miss, rx and eat. I will be backter to get the list of your favorite food."


    And with that, the servant left the bedroom to her.


    Jia Li nced at the Food cart and felt a headacheing.


    "Would be okay to eat a little and abandon the rest?." She asked herself as she sat at the foot of the bed.


    She didn''t have the heart to waste the food, but she also couldn''t finish it. Even if it was her entire family that faced the food cart, they still would be unable to finish it!

 Chapter 57 - Jia Li Joins The Fu Family For Dinner

    <h4>Chapter 57 - Jia Li Joins The Fu Family For Dinner</h4>


    Atst, Jia Li followed her mind and ate the much she could.


    Later, just as her servant said, she came back to record the foods she liked.


    When she came in, she nced at the food tray to record the food Jia Li ate the most. When she was done, she handed the book and pen to Jia Li.


    "Miss, apart from these foods, which one do you like? Also, put down the food you are allergic to if any."


    Jia Li took the book and nced over it. She was surprised the servant was smart. She was able to record urately, the food she liked most.


    Jia Li didn''t need to ask how she knew about it, because her brain was sharp as well.


    Jia Li wrote the food she liked eating, and the food she was allergic to, and then gave the book back to her.


    When the servant turned to leave, Jia Li stopped her.


    "Where is Grandfather Fu, I have something to give to him." Jia Li said to her.


    She just remembered the tonics her parents gave to her for the old man.


    "That? I will ask Butler Gu." The servant said as she rolled the food cart out of the room.


    When the servant left, Jia Li felt bored and didn''t know what to do again, so she decided to pick her sketchbook to see if she could get inspiration.


    She searched her luggage and the walk-in closet, but she didn''t find her sketching materials.


    She became apprehensive. That sketchbook was important to her.


    "If it''s not here, then where is it?!." Jia Li muttered to herself.


    As for the servant, after she notified Butler Gu about Jia Li, he gave her the time for Jia Li toe and see the old man.


    The servant returned to the room, to pass the message back to Jia Li, only to see the frantic expression on her face.


    "Miss, what is it?." The servant asked.


    "Did you see my sketch materials?." Jia Li asked hurriedly.


    "Yes. I kept them away in the small shelf there." The servant replied as she walked towards the small shelf in the room to retrieve her sketch materials.


    Jia Li sighed in relief when her sketch materials were finally in her hands.


    "I''m sorry Miss." The servant said. She saw her worried Jia Li was, and how happy she became when she faces the things with her.


    "There''s no problem." Jia Li said.


    The servant smiled and then informed her of the one to meet Grandfather Fu.


    "... I wille to get you once it''s time." The servant said to her.


    "Alright, thank you!." Jia Li said to her with a smile.


    When the servant left, she heaved a sigh of relief and went to the desk with her materials to begin sketching.


    Fu Hee was the first toe back home. She went had to attend. While Fu ChunHua went to the spa.


    The two women almost arrived at the same time. Since they''ve been snubbing and staying away from each other, so there was no cause for rm.


    The two women ignored each other. But their attention was grabbed by Butler Gu who walked towards them and bowed in greeting.


    "Has Father''s distinguished gueste?." Fu ChunHua asked.


    "Yes, she arrived some hours ago. She is currently resting in her room." Butler Gu replied.


    "I hope Father is not annoyed that I wasn''t around to wee her?." Fu Hee asked.


    "Old Mr. Fu understands the situation. Excuse me, Madams." Butler Gu said to them with a bow, and then he left their sight.


    "It looks like Someone will be punished if care is not taken." Fu ChunHua said as she walked away.


    Fu Hee scoffed and went her way as well. There was no way she was going to waste her breath on that woman!


    Fu Hee went to the kitchen to check on things, as it was nearing the time for dinner preparation.


    There was a guest, so there must not be any room for mistakes.


    When the hour reached, Jia Li was called into Grandfather Fu''s study.


    "Jia Li,e and sit over here." Grandfather Fu said to her with a kind smile.


    Jia Li simply nced at the Study that looked like the office of a Major General. She could sense a strong Aura, gently dissipating in the air.


    Jia Li took a seat before the old man, and then passed the paper bag in her hands towards him, and Butler Gu took it from her and passed it to the Old man.


    "Grandfather my parents prepared these health tonics for you."


    Grandfather Fu took the bag with a gentle smile. He opened it and peeped to see what was inside.


    Nodding in satisfaction, Grandfather Fu passed the paper bag back to Butler Gu and asked him to keep it in his bedroom.


    "Jia Li, thank your Parents for me! I am very happy and I appreciate their concern about my health" Grandfather Fu said to her.


    Jia Li smiled and only then did she start to rx. At first, she was scared that the tonics were cheap for him to ept. But seeing the old man look very happy with the gift, she became happy as well.


    Jia Li may not understand that Old Mr. Fu values gifts, no matter how cheap it is. Most of his family members think that he is wealthy enough to get anything he wants for himself, forgetting that he values appreciation and gifts.


    Just like the way Fu ChunHua asked about his health but didn''t give anything to show her concern.


    Old Mr. Fu and Jia Li talked for a while and that conversation, making them bond again.


    Jia Li answered all of the Old Man''s questions, and they talked things inmon, like arts.


    At this time, the rest of the Fu Family members were back and had already gone to the dining area for breakfast.


    "Sir, dinner is served!." Butler Gu came in and announced.


    "Jia Li,e with me, I will introduce you to my family." Old Mr. Fu said as Jia Li took his hand, while Butler Fu led the way to the dining area.


    As Jia Li approached the dining area with the Old man, all eyes turned towards their direction.

 Chapter 58 - Their Fate Has Been Sealed

    <h4>Chapter 58 - Their Fate Has Been Sealed</h4>


    As Jia Li approached the dining area with the Old man, all eyes turned towards their direction.


    Everybody knew the old man''s guest had arrived already, so everybody was curious about her and wanted to know and see who she was.


    To their surprise, they saw a youngdy who was simply dressed and holding the old man''s hand. They began to wonder how important she was to the Old man.


    They didn''t see anything special in Jia Li, so they were close to being disappointed. They couldn''t wait for the Old man to introduce her to them.


    Jia Li felt nervous and shy at the curious gazes that were directed at her. The Old man noticed she was nervous, so he patted her palm and nced at her with a smile.


    Jia Li smiled back at him and walked with him to his set.


    Butler Gu set out the old man''s seat for him, and Jia Li escorted him to sit.


    "Miss, please." Butler Gu said as he gestured to Jia Li with a smile. He already drew out a seat for her at the Old man''s left side.


    Jia Li murmured a word of thanks as she went to sit on the chair.


    When Fu Hua and YingPei saw Jia Li''s face at a close range, they were both surprised that she was their grandfather''s important guest.


    Fu Hua nced at her, but the surprise was only evident in his heart, while YingPei couldn''t hide his facial expression.


    Seeing that she was settled, the old man cleared his throat as he introduced Jia Li to the rest of the people.


    "This is my distinguished guest, Qin Jia Li. She is my lifesaver. Without her, I wouldn''t be alive. Jia Li, this is my family."


    Then, the Old man went all out to introduce every member of the Fu Family to Jia Li one by one.


    When they heard the Old man''s introduction, they now knew who Jia Li was, her role, and how she met their Old man.


    "Hello! Miss Jia Li, it''s good to see you again!." Fu YingPei said to Jia Li with a smile as he waved at her ????.


    "Hello!." Jia Li said with a smile as she waved back at YingPei.


    She recognized him, and also the young man sitting beside him, Fu Hua. She noticed the man was without any facial expression. Their eyes met, and he looked away with a nk look.


    ''Is he usually this cold?.'' Jia Li thought to herself.


    Fu Hua didn''t nce at Jia Li again after their eyes met just now.


    He was acting this way, without knowing that their fate has been sealed.


    Fu Meixu and Fu Ling greeted Jia Li and thetter greeted them with a smile.


    "Jia Li, wee to the Fu Family." Fu Hee said to Jia Li with a warm smile.


    Although the girl was ordinary and came from a simple family, but seeing that the Old man valued her this much, she will of course treat her well.


    This idea didn''t juste to her, but Fu ChunHua and Fu Meixu.


    They were not stupid and knew how much the Old man valued Jia Li, so they will of course try to get close to her, and be nice to her in other to rip some benefits during her stay.


    If the Old man saw how nice they were being to his guest, they would get into his good books.


    "Jia Li, feelfortable. If you need anything, you can ask me, or my daughter Meixu. You girls should be of the same age, so it''s easy for you two to interact." Fu ChunHua said to Jia Li with a smile.


    "Thank you, Aunty." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    Fu Hee frowned a little, but she made sure to mask it well.


    She was a little angry that Fu ChunHua was carrying herself like the Mistress of the house. She was ying her role and trying to curry favor.


    Fu Hee sneered in her heart.


    Old Mr. Fu was satisfied with how everybody warmed up to Jia Li, except for his first grandson, Fu Hua, who refused to say a word.


    Old Mr. Fu didn''t mind him. Then he gestures to everybody to eat.


    Almost immediately, everybody picked their cutlery and began to eat.


    During their dinner, Jia Li noticed that nobody said a word, as everybody is silent. She was used to making small talks with her parents while eating. But she could see the huge difference between the Fu Family and her little Qin family.


    Old Mr. Fu put two pieces of meat for Jia Li in her bowl and said to her with a smile.


    "Eat."


    "Thank you, Grandfather." Jia Li replied in a smooth tiny voice, so the rest did not hear her addressing the Old man that way.


    Till the end of dinner, the Old man kept putting food in Jia Li''s ce. He did that because he noticed she wasn''t eating much, probably because she was notfortable eating with strangers, so he had to do that for her to eat more.


    What a thoughtful Old man!


    His actions caused the female family members to solidify their ns to get close to Jia Li, in their head, except for Fu Juan.


    After dinner, the servants came and cleared their tes.


    "Miss Jia Li, are you still in college?." Fu Meixu asked with a smile. She was trying to strike up a conversation with her.


    Jia Li nced at her and replied politely. "Yes."


    "Which city?." Fu ChunHua asked.


    "******* University." Jia Li replied.


    Fu ChunHua already knew her family background wasn''t that good, so she wasn''t surprised when she heard the name of her college.


    "What''s your major?." Fu Meixu asked.


    "Fashion and Designing." Fu YingPei replied.


    "Yes," Jia Li said in agreement with his words.


    "Cousin, how did you know?." Fu Meixu asked curiously.


    "Have you forgotten that I went to visit grandfather when he was hospitalized after the ident?." Fu YingPei replied.


    "Oh!." Fu Meixu said in understanding.

 Chapter 59 - Three Days

    <h4>Chapter 59 - Three Days</h4>


    "Oh!." Fu Meixu said in understanding.


    "Meixu, do you have anything on tomorrow?." Grandfather Fu asked Fu Meixu with his gaze on her.


    Fu Meixu was surprised that her grandfather would talk to her, but we regained her consciousness and replied to him respectfully.


    "No, grandfather, I''m free tomorrow."


    She didn''t know the reason he was suddenly interested in her schedule, but she still replied to him.


    "Good! Tomorrow, take Jia Li to shop for clothes and any other thing she would need. She may refuse you, but I know you have good eyes, so help her to pick some good stuff."


    Grandfather Fu said to Fu Meixu, as he gestured to Butler Gu to pass the credit card to her.


    Fu Meixu was overjoyed that her grandfather assigned a task to her. She was d that she yed nice to Jia Li, otherwise this opportunity would have slipped past her.


    Fu ChunHua was also happy that the Old man assigned such a task to her daughter. She was happy about the change.


    "Don''t worry grandfather, I will." Fu Meixu said happily as she took the Credit Card from Butler Gu. She couldn''t hide how happy she was.


    ncing back at Jia Li, the old man said to her, "Jia Li, don''t refuse my goodwill, otherwise this Old man will be unhappy."


    Jia Li could only nod in understanding. How could she dare to make the Old man unhappy?


    She has seen how powerful he was, both officially and privately, so that consciousness of his power was still in her mind.


    Fu Hee was not happy with the old man''s decision. He already said he would be in charge of Jia Li during her stay here, so why did he assign Meixu to apany her shopping?


    With a little intelligence left, Fu Hee thought about it and analyzed the situation.


    The reason the Old man let Fu Meixu apany Jia Li shopping, was because they were if the same age, and he was also testing her.


    He knew that all of them were calctive and wanted to get close to Jia Li since he valued her, so he intentionally asked Meixu to apany Jia Li to shop.


    The old man knew that Fu Meixu wouldn''t try any tricks, and instead, will end up doing a good job in other to get in his good books again.


    Old Mr. Fu could tell almost 90% of what everybody was thinking, apart from Fu Hua which ranged/leveled up to 50% at most.


    Although Fu Lin was quiet, the Old man could still fathom his thoughts.


    Jia Li noticed that General Fu Lei and Mr. Fu Geming were on the quiet side. They didn''t talk if it wasn''t necessary, especially, General Fu Lei, who had this cold countenance, just like Fu Hua.


    The Fu Family was indeed different from what she had imagined.


    <i></i>


    After the little talks, the family dispersed. Those that wanted to watch the Tv, went to the living room while those that had different agendas, went away.


    Jia Li returned to her room to make a call to her parents. She knew that they must have been itching to hear from her again.


    Jia Li talked to them about the Fu Family, and how they were nice to her, but she didn''t divulge any unnecessary information, she was not a gossip.


    The Qin couple was happy at her well their daughter was treated. They have been anxious because the ways of the wealthy were very different from theirs.


    It was like two different worlds apart.


    The Qin couple also asked if She had given the tonics to the Old man, and Jia Li assured them with a smile.


    "Good night, Li, we will talk with you again in the morning." Mrs. Qin said as they bid her good night before the call came to an end.


    "Brother, were you also surprised Grandfather invited Miss Jia Li over?." Fu YingPei asked Fu Hua immediately the stepped into his room.


    "I''m much as surprised as you are. Don''t ask me any questions, get out, I need to work." Fu Hua said to him without ncing at him.


    "Brother why are you chasing me away, I didn''te here to gossip!." Fu YingPei said in a pitiful tone, but Fu Hua didn''t fall for it, and immediately sent him away with a re.


    Since his brother didn''t want to gossip with him, Fu YingPei could only return to his bedroom with a sigh.


    The Next morning, somewhere in a small town, Mr. Qin''s brother-inw looked troubled. He could smell danger wherever he went to, and that made him scared of his life.


    He was still owning the Loan sharks, and they were on his neck. For fear of his life, he decided to go and meet them in other to beg for more time.


    He knew that even if he sold everything he had, it still wasn''t going to be possible to repay up to half of what he borrowed.


    He cursed himself and decided to visit the loan sharks, with the 5 thousand he managed to.


    Five thousand was a chicken change,pared to the amount of money he borrowed from them.


    He could only gather courage and plead with them to ept the little money he had with him at the moment, while at the same time, asking them for more time.


    This man was unlucky, because he ended up getting beaten up by the loan sharks, and the money he came with, returned to him.


    "You borrowed 5 million from me, and promised to pay everything back before the end ofst month, with the interest, but now, youe to me with only 5 thousand. Do you take my words for granted?! Do you want to die?!"


    The Boss of the gangster left him with a message that kept ringing in his ears.


    "I will give you three days to return 50% of the money I loaned to you, otherwise, you will hear from me!."


    On his way back home, The man kept shivering, because he was suddenly feeling very cold even with the overcoat on his body.


    His face and body felt painful, and he sustained some injuries after he was beaten up.


    At this point in his life, he discovered how foolish he was.


    ''Where am I going to get 5 million from?.'' The man thought to himself as he limped back home.

 Chapter 60 - When He Came Back To His Senses

    <h4>Chapter 60 - When He Came Back To His Senses</h4>


    When the man got home, his wife was shocked by his situation. She almost tried when she saw him in that state.


    "What happened to you? Did you fight with the thugs in the street?!." She asked in concern, as she picked up the first aid box and opened it.


    "I am in trouble." The man managed to say in pain.


    Every part of his body was in pain, including his face, so he could barely make much movement.


    "What do you mean?!." His wife asked with furrowed brows.


    The man sighed and then, began to exin things to her. He even had to struggle to talk. His wife''s family expression kept changing as he talked.


    She forgot that she was supposed to make use of the First Aid kit.


    The woman felt so angry that she didn''t let him finish what he had to say.


    "Were your brains eaten up by the sharks?! How could you borrow money from the loan sharks to start a business you were not sure of? Now see, the business has copsed without even managing to stand!." The woman scolded angrily.


    "How much did you borrow from them?." The woman asked seeing that her husband was silent.


    "Five..." The man said as he trailed off.


    "Five thousand? Fifty thousand? five hundred thousand?." The woman kept asking, but we only got a negative response.


    When she asked him if the amount he borrowed was five thousand and he shook his head in a negative affirmation, she had a bad premonition and suddenly looked scared.


    "You!... how much did you borrow... from them?." She stuttered as she nced at him with a scared gaze.


    "Five... five..." The man stuttered. He couldn''t bring himself to say the rest of the words.


    The woman got impatient and so pped him on his arm as she shouted, "Five what?! How much did you borrow from the loan sharks?!."


    The man screamed in pain because his wife just hit where he was bruised.


    "Five Million!." He said atst.


    "What?! You... you... you borrowed five million from the loan sharks?!." The woman asked in shock.


    The shock was not even the best way to describe the woman''s current state of mind, she was beyond shocked.


    The woman sat on the floor with a shocked look on her face. She didn''t know what to say. She was wondering what her husband was thinking when he went to borrow that huge sum of money from the loan sharks.


    She really wanted to open his brain and see it.


    "You foolish man! Do you want to kill me?! Do you want our entire family to perish with you?!." The woman cursed as she hit him a few more times.


    "If you continue hitting me, I think I will die before the loan sharks get to me!." The man screamed.


    "You!." The woman said as she pointed angrily at him.


    "You really want to kill me! Howe you never told me any of your ns?! You even lied to me that you got enough money to start a business from a rich man, howe you ended up borrowing money from the loan sharks! Ah! how did I offend you that you want to send me to. my early grave?!"


    "Wife is not my fault, I was only trying to make us rich, so we don''t have to suffer again, I''m sorry!." The man pleaded as he cried, maybe because of the pains he was feeling, or because of the trouble, hended himself in.


    "Are you sure you''re sorry? Does that mean the money you''ve been squandering and gambling with was borrowed from the loan sharks?! How much of it is left?." The woman asked angrily


    "Five... five thousand." The man replied in a low tone.


    "What?! Are you mad?! So you squandered everything you got from the loan sharks?." The woman asked in shock.


    "I didn''t squander everything, I gave some to you!." The man said.


    "What nonsense! The money you gave to me was used for feeding and upkeep, and I only bought a few things for me and the children, so don''t you dare try to push the me to me!." The woman said while pointing at him angrily.


    "Wife, please help me beg your brother for some money, I promise I will pay him backter. If I don''t return 50% of the money in three days, those people will kill me!." The man pleaded as he grabbed his wife''s hands.


    The woman flung his hands away as she scolded him.


    *You want me to borrow money from my brother, are you drunk?! How rich do you think my brother is? If he was so rich, why do you think he had only one child? Don''t you know it''s because of his Financial circumstances? And you ask me to borrow money from him, have you forgotten that you never returned the one he gave to you before?."


    The woman reminded him as she red at him.


    Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin agreed to have only one child because of their financial situation. They wanted to love and dote on their only child, with all the resources they had, hence, they had only Jia Li.


    When the man got reminded that he never returned the huge sum money of money he once borrowed from his brother-inw, he slumped on the floor.


    "I am finished." The man muttered to himself in a low tone.


    His wife scoffed and got up from the floor.


    "Treat yourself, and better start thinking of how to repay the money you borrowed from the loan sharks, and make sure you don''t involve me and my children in this matter!."


    The woman warned before walking away.


    The man day on the floor with a miserable countenance.


    Whatever that was happening to him, served him right!


    He squandered half of the money he borrowed from the loan sharks to start a business with his friends, on alcohol and gambling.


    He felt on top of the World that he was going to be rich, so he forgot his goals and yed around. He gambled and drank.


    And when he came to his senses, half of the money was gone, so he managed to give his wife a part of the money that was left, and directly put the rest I to the business that failed.


    Now, he was reaping the fruit of foolishness he sowed.

 Chapter 61 - A Sense Of Accomplishment

    <h4>Chapter 61 - A Sense Of Aplishment</h4>


    After Breakfast, Fu Meixu hooked Jia Li''s arm and led the way to the car.


    Jia Li was ufortable with the sudden closeness, but she couldn''t do anything. She just let Fu Meixu drag her to the car.


    Old Mr. Fu let his chauffeur send them to the shooting mall, he even added security who is more like a soldier to escort them, the same soldier that brought Jia Li to the Fu house.


    Fu Meixu was feeling glee that she got to experience this kind of treatment from her grandfather because of Jia Li, so she decided to never let go of her.


    She must stick to her if she wanted to rip some benefits.


    While shopping, Fu Meixu helped Jia Li to pick up a few things since thetter kept telling them that she only needed two clothes.


    "Jia Li, since my grandfather has given you money to spend, spend it otherwise he will not be happy. Come, let me help you to pick some clothes. I will only allow you to pick at least, 5 different outfits, so make your choice." Fu Meixu said while educating her as if she was a child.


    Jia Li had no choice but to follow her lead and choose 5 different outfits.


    Fu Meixu observed Jia Li, and discovered that she had a good fashion sense, then she remembered that she was majoring in Fashion and designing.


    Fu Meixu made sure Jia Li picked some footwear and bags to match her outfits.


    Jia Li felt like pulling Fu Meixu out of the store, but she couldn''t do it.


    Fu Meixu ended up getting two outfits, shoes, and Bags for herself.


    After shopping for clothes, Fu Meixu took her to another store to get some other things she might need.


    "Is there a book store close by, I want to get a book?." Jia Li asked.


    "What do you need a book for?." Fu Meixu asked in a curious tone.


    "I want to read some books to keep myself busy." Jia Li replied.


    She has thought about it. She didn''t want to be in her room all day with nothing to do. She would easily get bored. So she needed to get one or two books to keep herpany.


    "You shouldn''t be scared of being bored, because I will be here to apany you. But since you want a book, we will go to the bookstore." Fu Meixu said, and then, off they went to the bookstore, and Jia Li selected two books. One novel, and self-development book.


    "Jia Li, did you have fun today?." Grandfather Fu asked immediately he saw them walk into the house. He has been sitting there and waiting for them.


    "Yes, thank you, Grandfather." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    Hearing someone else address her Grandfather so intimately, and get close to him when she couldn''t,? Meixu felt a sense of jealousy.


    "It''s good that you had fun today!." Grandfather Fu said to her.


    Fu Meixu fished out the credit card from her bag and handed it to the old man, but he asked her to keep it.


    "Keep it for now. During the time Jia Li will be staying, take care of her. You can go to the Cinema, Spa, park, or any ce of her choice."


    Jia Li and Fu Meixu thanked the old man, and he asked them to keep their things ande out for the snacks he asked the kitchen to prepare for them.


    Fu Meixu felt a sense of aplishment with today, and also with the benefits, she was going to get just for apanying Jia Li.


    She was very excited and must take full advantage of this opportunity.


    After Jia Li snapped the shop bags lying in her room and sent them to her parents, they called herter at night to ask her about it.


    She chatted with her parents for a while, before the call got disconnected.


    "It''s good the Old man likes our Jia Li and is taking good care of her." Mrs. Qin said to her husband.


    "Yes. It''s not all wealthy people that are mean, so you can rx." Mr. Qin said to her.


    "Then what do you have to say about my family?." Mrs. Qin asked with her gaze on him.


    Mr. Qin looked at her helplessly. "Your family is different. They only opposed our marriage because of my background. Why are we talking about unhappy things? let''s talk about something else."


    Mrs. Qin sighed and ced her head on his shoulder, then he wrapped an arm on her back.


    "I suddenly miss out daughter, and want her toe back." Mrs. Qin said.


    "Jia Li will be back soon. Why are you taking this way, it''s not like we won''t see her again." Mr. Qin said to console her.


    "Right, Jia Li will be back soon, and our small family of three will reunite." Mrs. Qin said.


    Back at the Fu Mansion, Fu Hua was absent during Dinner today, because he was still very busy at the office. And he ended uping homete.


    Grandfather Fu''s rule remains that the entire family must have Dinner together unless there was a valid reason the person would be absent.


    Fu Hua skipping dinner this time around was exempted because he had a valid reason.


    The next day, Fu Meixu took Jia Li to the spa to get facials and a massage.


    This was the first time Jia Li was receiving this kind of treatment. She enjoyed it and felt so rxed after everything.


    From the spa, they went to a salon to wash their hair and get it styled.


    Jia Li felt that things were going too extreme. She felt like she was wasting the Old man''s money, hence, she refused to get her hair styled.


    Because Jia Li refused to get her hair styled after washing it, Fu Meixu followed her.


    When she saw Jia Li''s hair after it was well-taking care of, Fu Meixu was surprised and wondered how she managed to maintain a long and silky hair.


    As she ran her hands through her hair, she asked.


    "You have such beautiful hair, so why don''t you let it down, you should unt it!."

 Chapter 62 - FJs Autumn Fashion Show

    <h4>Chapter 62 - FJ''s Autumn Fashion Show</h4>


    As she ran her hands through her hair, she asked.


    "You have such beautiful hair, so why don''t you let it down, you should unt it!."


    "It restricts my movement most times." Jia Li replied and asked the hairdresser to pack the hair in a ponytail.


    Fu Meixu refused for her hair to be packed in a ponytail. She pleaded with Jia Li to carry her hair that way just for today before thetter agreed.


    "You just washed your hair, just let it down for today."


    Tomorrow was FJ''s Autumn Fashion show, so they needed to prepare for tomorrow.


    "Jia Li, I have to go to my agency today, so I will drop you off at home, and then go there myself." Fu Meixu said.


    She would have asked Jia Li to apany her, but she was still a small fry and hadn''t made it, so her pride wouldn''t let her do it.


    After sending Jia Li back to the Fu House, Fu Meixu went to her agency. She was one of the models for FJ Styles that will be participating tomorrow, so she had to prepare.


    To Fu Meixu, she felt that time was running slowly, and she couldn''t wait to step into the limelight the next day.


    As for Fu Hua, he felt that time was running quickly. He was the CEO and had heads of departments, but he couldn''t help but oversee the important things.


    Feng Alix knew better than not to trouble him these days. She was actually waiting for tomorrow to pass, so she could spend time with him.


    Because of Fu Meixu''s pleading, Jia Li let her hair down and carried it like that throughout the whole day.


    When Fu YingPei saw her, he was amazed at how she looked. He felt that she looked like a different person.


    She looked charming, that was the best conclusion YingPei coulde up with.


    Fu Hee and Fu ChunHua all praised Jia Li''s hair. Juan Li was embarrassed and ufortable with thements and attention she was getting because of her hair, so she ended up packing it in a ponytail.


    When the long-anticipated day came, there were different kinds of feelings from everyone.


    The Show would start around 11 AM, and end by 3 or 4 PM.


    Since Fu Meixu was one of the models for the show, Grandfather had to go to the show with Jia Li.


    Normally, he wouldn''t be interested in this kind of thing, but because of Jia Li, he decided to attend.


    All the members of the Fu Family were in attendance. There was a red carpet, so Grandfather Fu led Jia Li to the red carpet with Fu Juan.


    Jia Li was shy and did not want to face the camera, but Fu Juan encouraged her.


    Two soldiers followed behind them. Because of the strong Aura, they easily garnered attention.


    Because of Grandfather Fu''s special identity, no reporter dared to swamp around him.


    The only reporter that dared toe close, Grandfather Fu said to him.


    "I am just here to watch the show, spare this Old man!."


    With his words, who would dare to interview him?


    After taking the pictures, Jia Li, Fu Juan, and Grandfather Fu walked into the venue, where the rest of the guests were already sitting.


    Fu Hua personally wee them and showed them to their seats.


    Fu Hua only nced at Jia Li for a few seconds and nodded in response to her greeting, before greeting His Grandfather and Aunty.


    Jia Li could feel an excitement building in her chest, as she couldn''t wait for the show to start.


    She could see that many guests, both foreign and local were already sitting and chatting while waiting for the show to start.


    Once it was noon, the show started.


    The MC picked up the mic and introduced the show.


    There were a few performances before and after the fashion show.


    When it was time for the models to starting out, the lights dimmed, and the music changed.


    There was immediate silence, as the first model stepped out and walked in a long dress, boot, and thick jacket. Her hair was styled in a simple style.


    Jia Li didn''t nce at the model''s face but was more interested in the outfit she was putting on.


    She was majoring in fashion and designing, so of course, her interest will be in the dresses that were showcased.


    Since she was sitting in a good position, she had the opportunity to get close and good glimpses at the dresses.


    When Fu Meixu stepped out in a dress, surprisingly, Jia Li paid attention to not only the dress she was modeling but also to her face.


    She could tell from her facial expressions that she was very happy.


    Fu ChunHua cheered for her daughter silently, but that didn''t stop her from smiling proudly so much that Fu Hee was irritated.


    She couldn''t believe how shameless the woman was after she yed some tricks for her daughter to appear on this show.


    Fu ChunHua saw Fu Hee who was struggling to keep the fake smile on her face, and gloated in her heart.


    ''So what if I yed some tricks and was found out and embarrassed? At least it did off that my Meixu is on that stage!.'' Fu ChunHua thought to herself.


    She couldn''t help but smile more.


    Feng Alix was a top model who was very popr, so when she appeared, she garnered so much attention, and even the outfit she was modeling.


    When Jia Li saw her, she said to herself that Feng Alix was beautiful, and had the perfect shape and figure to be a model.


    Jia Li agreed that hardly anything will not fit her, which means that things, any kind of clothes will fit her.


    When it was time for other clothes for different seasons to be modeled, Fu Juan leaned in and spoke softly to Jia Li.


    "Jia Li, in case you see something you like, just point at it, and I will get it for you."


    Jia Li was grateful to her for her kindness, so she only thanked her even though she was not interested in getting anything for herself.


    "Jia Li, do you like the show?." Grandfather Fu asked Jia Li with a smile.


    He has noticed that she has been paying close attention to the stage, so he knew it was a good idea to invite her to this show.

 Chapter 63 - Plans To Meet

    <h4>Chapter 63 - ns To Meet</h4>


    "Jia Li, do you like the show?." Grandfather Fu asked Jia Li with a smile.


    He has noticed that she has been paying close attention to the stage, so he knew it was a good idea to invite her to this show.


    "Yes, grandfather, I like it." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    When the show was still ongoing, the people they saw Jia Li sitting in-between Old Mr. Fu and his daughter, Fu Juan, were wondering who she was.


    ''Could she be Fu Juan''s daughter?.''


    ''But Fu Juan doesn''t have a child.''


    "Maybe she is a distant rtive of the Fu''s.''


    Because they came for the Fashion Show, their thought didn''t dwell on Jia Li that much, even though she did manage to garner a lot of attention


    When the show came to an end, Fu Hua as the Boss of FJ Styles, gave a speech.


    He was smartly dressed, just like the Fashion god he was.


    Jia Li admired his fashion sense, and so had her gaze on him the whole time he was speaking to the audience.


    With Fu Hua''s cold attitude, it''s right if he doesn''t smile because nobody will see it as abnormal.


    After speaking, a little souvenir was handed out to everyone that came for the show.


    Right after the show finally came to an end, it was time to leave. Some dignitaries saw Old Mr. Fu and came over to greet him.


    Old Mr. Fu returned their greetings with a smile, while Jia Li and Fu Juan stood at the side.


    Those that recognized Fu Juan also came to greet her.


    Jia Li stood awkwardly for a short while, before Fu Juan took her hand, and left with the Old man as the soldiers they came with, made way for them.


    As the guests were leaving, Feng Alix who has changed into her clothes, walked to Fu Hua''s side, but then stood a little distance away from him.


    She wanted him to see her, and know she was waiting for him.


    While talking to his employees, Fu Hua nced at her from his peripheral view. He knew she was waiting for him.


    After speaking with his employees, Fu Hua did not walk directly to her. He picked yo his phone and dialed her contact number.


    Feng Alix saw his call and smiled to herself as she answers it.


    " Do you want to see me?." Fu Hua asked as he walked away from backstage.


    "Yes. I missed you already, and can''t wait to hug you." Feng Alix said to him in a soft tone.


    "Do you want to be caught?." Fu Hua asked. He missed her as well, but he was more rational.


    "Of course I don''t want t to be caught, I only want to hit you. Can we meet at the underground parking lot?." Feng Alix asked.


    She didn''t want to leave with her manager without getting a hug from her boyfriend.


    Fu Hua sighed as he said to her, "That is the best spot for Paparazzi to get a huge clip. If it''s alright with you to have a scandal, that''s fine. But I won''t have that. If you want our rtionship to be made public, then we have to do it in an official way, not through a scandal. It won''t good for the both of us."


    "Okay, I understand. But I miss you badly, how are you going to take care of that?." Feng Alix asked, not giving up.


    "Come to my house by 7 PM." Fu Hua said to her and ended the call.


    He still had a lot of important work to do, so he couldn''t leave the venue at this moment.


    Feng Alix smiled to herself because she got more than what she asked for. And now, she could leave with her manager.


    On the way back home, Old Mr. Fu engaged in a conversation with Jia Li. He was very much interested in her career.


    While conversing with her, he noticed her passion for fashion and Designing, so he decided to help her.


    He liked people with potential and vision. And added to the fact that he had a soft spot for Jia Li, he decided to help assist her.


    "...once you graduate, you don''t need to look for a job, just tell me, and I will arrange for you to work in one of the biggest Fashion Companies in the World." Grandfather Fu promised her.


    "FJ Styles?." Jia Li asked as her eyes shone brightly in surprise.


    "You''re right. If you are worried about leaving your parents to live and work in a far ce, I will arrange for them toe live with you. That way, you will feel at ease and work devotedly."


    "Ehn, Grandfather thank you, but this is such a big decision, I will have to talk to my parents about it." Jia Li said to the Old man in a smile.


    This was indeed the biggest decision in her life, sobs he couldn''t take the matter into her hands, she would have to speak to her parents about it, before making a decision.


    "I believe you will go far if you''re given the opportunity, and I know your parents will understand. But in the case you want to work in FJ Styles, you can tell me about it, and I will help to convince your parents." Grandfather Fu said to her with all sincerity of heart.


    "Thank you, Grandfather." Jia Li said gratefully.


    Sometimes she felt that the Old Man was treating her a little too well, could she be mistaken?


    When the Fu Family got back home, they changed into theirfortable clothes, beforeing over to the dining area to have lunch.


    FJ Styles gave them a souvenir which had a bottle of water, two kinds of snacks prepared by one of the best in the country, a handbook, etc.


    The snacks given were just an appetizer to them. Eating real food was the main deal.


    Fu YingPei came home a littlete after they have had their lunch. He was FJ Styles'' employee, and because of the work they had to do after the show, he came back a littlete.


    Fu Hua on the other hand didn''te back home. He put a call through to inform them he had something important to do at thepany, so he would rest in his apartment.


    (@Graciamaris thank you for the review, I appreciate it a whole lot ????)

 Chapter 64 - Approaching Danger

    <h4>Chapter 64 - Approaching Danger</h4>


    After work, Fu Hua went to his apartment. He freshened up just before Feng Alix rang his doorbell.


    He opened the door after he saw her face from the security monitor. Before he could step away, she hugged him tightly.


    Fu Hua was quiet as he hugged her back.


    "I missed you." Feng Alix said as she looked up at him.


    "I missed you too. Come in." Fu Hua said to her in a casual smile as he closed the door and led her into the house.


    "I brought something." Feng Alix said as she brought out the bottle of expensive wine she bought and ced it on the table.


    "Are you hoping for an exciting night?." Fu Hua asked as he sat on the couch with his gaze on her.


    Fu Hua looked dangerously handsome as he stared at her that way.


    "Of course." Feng Alix replied with a smile as she took off her heels and walked towards him with a smile.


    She wore a short sleeveless dress with bright red lipstick ????. She looked more seductive as she walked towards Fu Hua.


    The two exchanged gazes, and it was as if something fierce was rising within them like an edifice.


    When Feng Alix came to stand in front of him, she lowered her body and let him gaze into her dress to her see her cleavage.


    She kissed his lips gently as she climbed onto him


    She kneeled with her legs apart, and with his legs, in between hers.


    Fu Hua hugged her waist and kissed her lips passionately. From her lips, he trailed kisses to her neck. He breathed her scent in and continued to kiss her.


    Feng Alix moaned and raised her neck, to give him ess to her body.


    From Her neck, Fu Hua trailed kisses to her cleavage.


    Feng Alix moaned and ground her butts against the stuff in-between his legs.


    "You are bing more naughty." Fu Hua said in a higher tone as he bit her neck.


    "I can''t wait." Feng Alix said in a soft tone as she ground him even more and kissed the side of his mouth.


    Fu Hua kissed her fiercely as he held her butts with his palm to support her, while she continues grinding him.


    Within few minutes, Feng Alix was already half-naked. She was in her panties and bra, while still maintaining the same position.


    Fu Hua on the other hand was topless as he continued to kiss her while his hands roamed all over her body.


    The next moment, Feng Alix broke the kiss and unzipped his pants. Then without him taking anything off, She released the little demon that has been struggling under her.


    Then slowly, she guided it in-between her legs and sat on it.


    Fu Hua and Feng Alix moaned at the same time when they met each other. Then slowly, Feng Alix began to move while letting out a moan continuously.


    While these were having a fierce s*x, Jia Li couldn''t sleep. She felt unsettled in her heart.


    She could sense something wrong in the atmosphere, she could sense danger approaching, but she couldn''t pinpoint where it wasing from, and where it was going.


    Because of her sleepless night, she woke up the next morning with dark circles around her eyes.


    "Jia Li, you didn''t sleep wellst night?." Fu Hee asked in concern.


    "Yes, Aunty Hee." Jia Li replied.


    Both of them were standing in the living room.


    "What happened? Did you have a bad dream?." Fu Hee asked with furrowed brows.


    "Not really, Aunty. I think miss my parents." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    "Ah! I see. Don''t think much about it. You will get to see your family in two days." Fu Hee assured her.


    "Thank you, Aunty Hee." Jia Li said with a grateful smile.


    "It''s nothing. Follow me, I will help you mask the dark circles, so everybody won''t keep asking you about it." Fu Hee said as she pulled her along.


    Jia Li could only follow her. She didn''t want anyone to ask her questions, and more especially, she didn''t want the old man to worry about her.


    Back at Fu Hua''s apartment, Fu Hua got out of bed and went into the washroom.


    Feng Alix noticed he had gotten out of bed, so she opened her eyes and rolled on the bed a few times before sitting up tiredly.


    She ced her hand on her forehead and sighed. Her hair looked messy as she got out of bed. She nced around the room in search of something. And when she didn''t see it, she walked out of the bedroom to go search for it in the living room.


    Feng Alix found her bag on the floor in the living room. She picked it and opened it. She took out a tab of drugs and opened it.


    Taking a pill, she walked to the kitchen and took a bottle of water from the fridge.


    She took some water in her mouth, before throwing the pill into her mouth, then she gulped down the remaining water in the bottle before throwing the empty bottle into the trash.


    When she turned around to walk away, she met Fu Hua, who walked into the kitchen.


    "Want some coffee?." Feng Alix asked with a smile as she walked towards him.


    "Mmm..." Fu Hua hummed in response as he walked past her to take out a mug.


    Feng Alix frowned a little, before smiling back and following after him. She hugged him from his back as she rested her head on his shoulder.


    "What are you doing?." Fu Hua asked as he put the mug down and turned to hold her arms.


    "I just want to hug you, is it bad?." Feng Alix asked in a soft tone.


    Fu Hua sighed and said to her, "Okay, hug me and go and wash up. I don''t have time, I have to be in the office soon."


    Feng Alix smiled as she hugged him. It didn''t even take up to a minute, and Fu Hua was already shooing her away.

 Chapter 65 - Her Heart Is No More With The Fu Family

    <h4>Chapter 65 - Her Heart Is No More With The Fu Family</h4>


    After Feng Alix got dressed and left Fu Hua''s house, Fu Hua left for his office. There was still a show today, so he had to be ready for it.


    The second day of the Fashion Show was more spectacr. As new and familiar faces were seen.


    Jia Li''s concentration was on the outfits worn by the models. She could see how creative the designers of FJ Styles were.


    Old Mr. Fu didn''te with Jia Li today, so Fu Juan was tasked with escorting her.


    "Jia Li don''t just look at the dress, pick something for yourself." Fu Juan told her, but Jia Li smiled.


    "Aunty I''m fine. I don''t want anything."


    Seeing that Jia Li was adamant, Fu Juan let her be and didn''t bring up that topic again, instead she engaged her with a conversation, like asking what she thought of the outfits created by FJ Styles Top designers.


    Jia Li''s reply made her affirm that she was going to do well in the Fashion World if she has connections because not all talented people are given the exposure.


    When the Fashion Show ended, Jia Li went back to the Fu Mansion in the same car as Fu Juan.


    Grandfather Fu was still not at home when the entire family came back. But he still. made it back home before Fu Hua and Fu YingPei.


    The family was harmonious as they ate dinner together. In fact, it was part of a little celebration for the sess of the Fashion Show.


    If it was someone like Fu YingPei, he would have organized a dinner party for his family and employees, but Fu Hua was different.


    He only gave the Managers of hispany, some money to go and celebrate with their teams. He wasn''t even interested in joining in the celebration.


    Fu YingPei didn''t want to go, because he didn''t think it would be fun.


    After dinner, Old Mr. Fu instructed Fu Hee to go shopping with Jia Li the next day, since she would be going back to her family in two days. He wanted her to get a few things for her parents.


    "I would have loved Fu Hua to show you around the FJ Styles since he is in a better position to assign someone to do that on his behalf if he is busy, but since you insist on going back in 2 days, maybe the next time you visit, he will show you around." Old Mr. Fu said to Jia Li with a smile.


    Fu Hua had a slight frown on his face. FJ Styles wasn''t a site for tourism and was not open to outsiders.


    He has failed to understand what his grandfather saw in Jia Li. Fine, Jia Li was his life-saver, but he has already done more than enough to thank her, so what were his ns?


    Did he n to continue thanking her in different ways till forever?


    "Thank you, grandfather!." Jia Li said with a slight smile.


    She was grateful to the old man for the special care and love he has shown her since she saved his life. But for now, she was more interested in talking with her parents.


    The more time passes, the more uneasy she feels. Old Mr. Fu could notice she was ufortable and wanted to go back home, but he thought she just missed her parents, and nothing else.


    When Grandfather Fu dispersed them, Jia Li hurried to her room after saying food night to the Fu Family members.


    Jia Li phoned her parents immediately she walked into her bedroom. Seeing her parents calmed her heart.


    "Jia Li, if you like that ce, explore a little before youe back, don''t worry about us." Mrs. Qin said to Jia Li.


    "About a day ago, you were worried about Jia Li and wanted her toe back as soon as possible, what made you change your mind?." Mr. Qin asked.


    "I miss our daughter, but I feel it would be good for her to stay there a bit more, she needs the exposure." Mrs. Qin said to her husband before turning to look at the phone screen.


    "Jia Li, if you want to stay there for a bit, then listen to Old Mr. Fu. Don''t worry about us, we''ll be fine."


    "Mum, I will be back soon. I will talk to Grandfather Fu to see if I cane back tomorrow''s noon. I miss you both." Jia Li said with a sad tone, she really did miss her parents.


    "Wife, allow her toe back. As you can see, her heart is no more there." Mr. Qin said to his wife.


    Mrs. Qin noticed the longing in Jia Li''s eyes and sighed. Then she said to her with a smile, "Fine! Jia Li, do what you want, Dad and Mum will be waiting for you at home. Just let us know when you will being back a few hours before your flight."


    Jia Li was happy with the conclusion. Her heart eased a little. She talked about the fashion show with her Parents before bidding them goodnight.


    That night, Jia Li found it difficult to fall asleep. She was thinking about her parents and suddenly became emotional.


    She ended up crying herself to sleep, and she woke up with puffy eyes the next morning. The concealer failed to mask it.


    Grandfather Fu saw Jia Li''s face and knew her spirit was down and was no longer with them. He could see that she was happy, and he needed to let her go back to her parents.


    "Jia Li, cheer up and eat your breakfast. I will make an arrangement to send you back to your parents this afternoon."


    "I can go back today?." Jia Li asked as her eyes shown brightly.


    "Yes. You just have to shop for your parents and yourself, otherwise, I won''t keep to my promise." Grandfather Fu said to her with a gentle gaze.


    "I will listen to grandfather!." Jia Li said gratefully as she picked up her cutlery and began to eat.


    The tension in her heart has eased a little.

 Chapter 66 - Last Words To Jia Li

    <h4>Chapter 66 - Last Words To Jia Li</h4>


    After breakfast, Fu Hee took Jia Li shopping. Since she would be seeing her parents in a few hours, Jia Li shopped with her full attention.


    Today was a day that passes the date the Loan sharks gave to Mr. Qin''s brother-inw to repay half of the loan, and he was nowhere to be found.


    He ran away from his house as went to take shelter in a different city. His wife also took her children and ran away to fear the loan sharks mighte to find them in their house.


    She never knew her husband was so selfish until the day he left the house and never returned the next day.


    She didn''t wait to be turned into minced meat, and her children, into corn beef. So she had to flee for her life.


    She didn''t consider going to her brother''s ce, because it was not too far from her house, so she had to go to another city.


    The Boss of the loan sharks Mr. Qin''s brother-inw borrowed money from, deployed about 6 of his underlings, to infiltrate the man''s house.


    "Take anything valuable and beat the hell out of that stupid man. Kick his ass till he''s half dead! Does he think he can run away with my money? I will teach him a good lesson!." The Boss swore angrily.


    The 6 people the Boss deployed, went to the address Mr. Qin''s brother-inw filled while applying for the loan.


    When they got to the house, the men were looking hideous as they took out their club sticks and started destroying things from outside the house.


    Lo and behold, it was Jia Li''s house they came to.


    Mrs. Qin was around because she caught the flu, so she didn''t go to the hospital. she heard themotion outside and started to panic.


    At first, she thought it was some neighbor fighting, but when she heard the ss window shattering, she knew the noise wasing from her house, she came out of her bedroom, a little afraid.


    Mr. Qin was not around, and will only be back a few hourster. At least, he would make it before the time Jia Li gave to them.


    "Yah!e out here! You think you can borrow money from us and run away?!." The loan sharks shouted as they used their golf clubs to hit on the door.


    With this kind ofmotion, who would dare to step out of their houses to see what was happening?


    Mrs. Qin was afraid of them. And learning that they were the loan sharks, she began to have doubts if her husband borrowed money from them.


    But because she knew her husband wasn''t that kind of person, she thought the loan sharks must havee to the wrong address.


    She didn''t want the loan sharks to know someone was in, or the situation might be more dangerous. But if she continued staying inside, and the loan sharks break-in, she will even be in more danger


    Mrs. Qin was in a dilemma and didn''t know what to do. But first things first, she needed to call her husband.


    Mrs. Qin walked back to her room in silent steps as she tried to mask her cough. She picked up her phone and dialed her husband''s number.


    Mr. Qin was carrying a nk at the construction site he was working when his phone rang from his pocket.


    He put the nk down and took his phone out from his pocket and saw his wife calling.


    Immediately he answered the call, he heard his wife''s panicked voice.


    "Husband, the loan sharks are here, did you borrow any money from them?." Mrs. Qin asked.


    "What?! Loan Sharks in our house? I didn''t borrow money from them. Where are you?." Mr. Qin asked in a worried tone. His tone was quite heavy.


    "I am at home, and I don''t have anywhere to run to, the loan sharks are still right outside our door and destroying things. I''m afraid they would break in soon." Mrs. Qin said as she went into a fit of coughing.


    "Wife, hang in there. Try not to make any sound, I will be right there." Mr. Qin assured her as he began walking quickly, to his colleague''s side.


    "I won''t make any sound. Don''te alone, call the police." Mrs. Qin advised.


    When the call ended, Mrs. Qin silenced her phone and held unto it tightly. Deep down, she was a little afraid, because the loan sharks were so angry and fierce.


    They didn''t even want to talk and went straight to destroying things. It was obvious that they didn''te for peace.


    Mr. Qin told his colleague at work that he had an emergency at home.


    "...help me tell the Engineer." And with that, He left and called the police on his way to his house.


    Mr. Qin was worried about his wife being alone at home, and facing that kind of situation when she was down in health, so he couldn''t wait for the police, and rushed home first.


    When the police asked him not to be rash with his actions, he told them, ''My wife is alone at home, I need to go back to her first.''


    Mrs. Qin was so uneasy that she sent a voice note to Jia Li. Her voice sounded so gentle, devoid of how nervous she felt.


    Because of her cough, Mrs. Qin couldn''t help coughing, so she was forced to stop with the voice note.


    "...Jia Li, your father and I, love you so much. I want you to know that you''re special. If you meet my family one day, it will be fate. Take care of yourself and I hope you turn your great dreams into realities."


    After sending the voice note, Mrs. Qin kept her phone aside. But before she could turn around, she heard the door open with a bang and was followed next by sounds of rushed and heavy footsteps.


    "Beat anybody you see, destroy everything!." One of the loan sharks shouted angrily at his colleagues.


    Mrs. Qin was so afraid, that her fingers were shaking. Right there, she wanted to cough, but she tried holding it in, and what happened next, was her coughing uncontrobly as a result of choking.


    The loan sharks heard her coughing and started making their way towards her bedroom.

 Chapter 67 - Unconscious And Bleeding From Her Head

    <h4>Chapter 67 - Unconscious And Bleeding From Her Head</h4>


    The loan sharks heard her coughing and started making their way towards her bedroom.


    Mrs. Qin heard the footsteps approaching, and she could feel she was already close to her grave. But still, she opened the shelf on the nightstand and quickly took out a gold pendant.


    There was no time to nce at it, so she quickly threw it under the bed and sat upright, as she continued to cough.


    The loan sharks kicked the door open and saw her sitting on the bed and coughing. They were angry because they have been looking for the people living in the house, and she heard them but remained quiet.


    "Woman! were you hiding here all along and allowed us to make a fool out of ourselves?!." One of them roared.


    "What are you waiting for, grab her!." One of them ordered.


    Mrs. Qin was truly scared as two rough-looking men approached her to grab both of her arms.


    "What are you doing?! How dare you barge into my house to break my things?!." Mrs. Qin asked as she was dragged to the living room.


    "You want to know what gave us the guts? Your husband borrowed money from us and failed to return it after the date of the return day passed. Where is he? call him out, otherwise, you will be beaten up on his behalf!." One of them roared angrily while pointing at her.


    "My husband is not around. You must be mistaken about something. My husband is a construction worker, and we are doing very fine, he will never borrow money from the loan sharks!." Mrs. Qin said.


    The one that gave the order to drag her out of the room, chuckled angrily as he said to her, "It''s normal if your husband didn''t tell you about borrowing money from us, but for you to lie to us that he is a construction worker ????, you will be punished!."


    "My husband is really a construction worker!." Mrs. Qin cried out.


    "Your husband borrowed money from us to start a business and promised to pay back with interest before the loan expiration date, but he failed!." One of them said to her as he patted the golf club on his hand.


    When Mrs. Qin heard him, she was convinced that they came to the wrong address, so she hurriedly tried to exin things to them before they would do something.


    "But my husband is really a construction worker. He is not a businessman, and he has never tried to start any business!."


    "Are you calling us liars? Beat her up so when that foolish manes back, he will know we are serious!." The one that looked like their leader, and the one that gave the order for her to be dragged out, ordered.


    As Mrs. Qin was already trying to crawl away, they pulled her back and started hitting her.


    Because she was a nurse, she knew to protect her sensitive/important organs. As much as she begged them, they continued hitting her.


    Just then, Mrs. Qin kicked one of them and tried to escape, one of them that was closer to her, pushed her and her head hit the strong wooden center table in the living room, and she copsed to the floor, unconscious.


    She didn''t expect to be pushed, so she didn''t prepare to use her hands to save herself from the impact, hence her head hit the edge of the table before she copsed on the floor.


    Seeing her copse on the floor without moving, there was a sudden moment of silence.


    "Is she dead?." One of them asked in a nervous tone as the others watched on.


    "What dead? She must be pretending. Get out, I will check for myself." Their leader said as he pushed the other one aside and walked towards Mrs. Qin and squat in front of her.


    He touched her leg and said. "Are you pretending to be dead?! You should me your husband for taking a loan from us and failing to pay it back despite knowing the consequences. If we don''t beat you up, then he won''t know that we are serious."


    After saying all these, still, there was no movement from Mrs. Qin.


    "Is she really dead? Did we kill someone?." One of them asked afraid.


    "She must be pretending." The man said and just then, he noticed that Mrs. Qin''s fingers were moving, so he pointed it out.


    "See, I told you she was pretending!." The man said as he faces a lowugh.


    The others rxed as well. Their job didn''t include killing people. None of them wanted to go to jail for being a murderer.


    Just then, Mr. Qin rushed into the house. He saw his wife lying on the floor without moving, a man squatting in front of her.


    Without thinking, he called out, ''Wife'' and rushed over and pushed the man aside before the others could interfere.


    The man lost bnce and fell on the floor, while Mr. Qin rushed to his wife to scoop her in his arms as he cried out to her.


    He felt so pained seeing the injuries and bruises on her body. She was even unconscious and she was bleeding from her mouth and head.


    The others seeing that the ''supposed'' person they have been looking for, came in and caused amotion, their anger rose, and they gathered to beat him up.


    They separated him from his wife and dragged him away from her and started beating him with their hands and the clubs and baton in their hands.


    The man that was pushed down, stood to his feet angrily and came to join the others to beat Mr. Qin up when he saw his face.


    He was shocked at first, and it took him a while to react.


    "Stop!." He shouted to the others.


    The others heard his order and stopped with their actions as they wondered the reason they were asked to stop.


    "This is not the foolish man that took money from us, we got the wrong person!." The man said with fear in his eyes.


    If it turned out that they came to the wrong house to beat innocent people up, their life would be over!

 Chapter 68 - She Was Declared Dead

    <h4>Chapter 68 - She Was Dered Dead</h4>


    "This is not the foolish man that took money from us, we got the wrong person!." The man said with fear in his eyes.


    If it turned out that they came to the wrong house to beat innocent people up, their life would be over!


    "What?!." Others were shocked as well.


    Mr. Qin was lying with his back on the floor. His face was bruised, and he was gasping for air.


    Just now, they used the weapons in their hands to beat him up. He didn''t have any medical knowledge like his wife, so he couldn''t protect his vital organs.


    One of them used the club to hit the chest area, so he was having internal bleeding.


    The loan sharks nced at the couple they had beaten up and refused to believe they got the wrong person, so one of them went in search of a picture or anything that could prove they were right.


    That one walked to the television stand where he saw a picture frame. Blood drained from his face when he saw the main picture.


    He picked up the picture frame and passed it to their leader.


    The leader was so shocked that the picture frame slipped from his hands and shattered.


    The man knew who Mr. Qin''s brother-inw was, as he was there the few times he came to them.


    , so he could never be wrong.


    "We really did beat up the wrong person, let''s go before the policee!.'' He announced and flex from the living room.


    Just then, the police siren was heard, and the others hurried and tried to make their escape.


    Mrs. Qin was lying lifeless on the floor, while Mr. Qin was still struggling to breathe. He couldn''t talk, and he couldn''t move as he could only watch his wife lying on the floor motionlessly.


    When the police arrived in their car, the leader of the gang ran past them and escaped, so they managed to catch three of the culprits.


    The familiar Officer Su was one of the officers that came to the scene.


    Officer Su and one other officer went into the house to check if there were any casualties, and the scene they saw, shocked them.


    "Call the Ambnce now!." Officer Su instructed as he ran to Mr. Qin''s side to check on him.


    "Mr. Qin, hold on, help is on the way." Officer Su said to Mr. Qin as he didn''t dare to touch him.


    Mr. Qin''s eyes were opened and he was trying to say something, but his voice was inaudible, so Officer Su had to lower his ear close to his mother on other to hear what he was trying to say.


    "My...my...my wi...wife..." Mr. Qin managed to say.


    "Your wife?." Officer Su asked before moving close to Mrs. Qin to check on her.


    He was surprised to see the familiar face. About three months ago, he met her in the hospital because of Grandfather Fu''s case.


    He knew she was a nurse, and also the mother of Jia Li.


    Thinking about that young and innocent, girl, he quickly turned to his colleague and instructed him to check every corner of the house for another person.


    The other police officer hurriedly went in to check the rooms in the house, but he found no one.


    "There is no one here. Is she breathing?." He asked.


    Officer Su had earlier taken Mrs. Qin''s pulse, but he couldn''t feel any signs of life, so he shook his head in a negative affirmation.


    The other police officer sighed and didn''t say a word. He could only go to Mr. Qin''s side and ask him to hold on.


    As for his wife''s matter, they decided not to say anything.


    Within 7 minutes, the ambnce arrived. Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin were carried into the ambnce.


    "We have to hurry, I can''t feel her pulse. As for the man, his pulse is getting faint!." One of the Paramedics shouted.


    Officer Su instructed the other team of officers that came with the other car to take the culprits to the station and get a statement from them, while he followed the ambnce with the other two officers.


    When the ambnce got to the hospital, two doctors and some nurses were already waiting for them, so Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin were wheeled out and rushed to the theater.


    Mrs. Qin was dered dead a few minutes after she was pushed into the theater.


    The doctors and nurses in the theater could only watch the monitor beep nonstop as there was nothing they could do.


    As for Mr. Qin, he slipped into aa, and his situation was critical because he had internal bleeding.


    His heart was affected, so he was in a dire situation.


    The doctors and nurses were doing their best to have him because he was almost slipping away from their hands.


    Before the surgery started, a nurse came out and handed Mr. Qin''s phone to Officer Su.


    "What of the patient''s family members?." The nurse asked.


    "The patients have a daughter Qin Jia Li by name, but we are not able to contact her yet. Maybe she is in school. We will try to reach out to her as soon as possible. What about the patients?." Officer Su asked.


    "I heard the woman is a nurse here. Since I''m new, I am not too familiar with her. I don''t know her state, but her husband is in critical condition. It would be good if we can reach out to their kin." With that, the nurse walked back into the theater.


    The reason she handed the phone to Officer Su, was for contact.


    Jia Li who has been shopping with Fu Hee left the store with the things they bought. On her way to the Fu House, she became uneasy again, and Fu Hee noticed it because she wasn''t paying attention to what she was saying.


    "Jia Li, the old man has promised you that you can go back to your family today. Don''t think too much about them, you will see them this evening." Fu Hee said to her in a kind tone.

 Chapter 69 - Feeling Of Despair

    <h4>Chapter 69 - Feeling Of Despair</h4>


    "Jia Li, the old man has promised you that you can go back to your family today. Don''t think too much about them, you will see them this evening." Fu Hee said to her in a kind tone.


    "I know Aunty, but I don''t know why I''m worried. My heart is beating fast, and I can''t control it. I have never felt this way before." Jia Li said in a worried tone.


    "Is it that serious, should we go to the doctor and have you do a check-up?." Fu Hee asked worriedly.


    "No, Aunty, I think I will be fine. I just want to get back home. I want to see my parents." Jia Li said as she suddenly became emotional.


    Fu Hee didn''t know what to do. So she could only order the driver to drive quickly as shake tried to console her.


    Within three minutes, they arrived at the house.


    Jia Li was finding it really difficult to breathe, and she was gasping for air. Fu Hee was in a dilemma as she helped her out of the car.


    "Go and call for help!." Fu Hee screamed at the driver.


    She was really worried about Jia Li. She was acting like someone that was about to take herst breath.


    How will she exin things to the old man?


    "Mum... Mum..." Jia Li called out with her hand on her chest as she continued gasping for breath.


    Fu Hee couldn''t hold onto her anymore and so they both slipped to the ground.


    Just then, a car drove in their direction as Fu Hee was shouting for help.


    It was Fu Hua''s car.


    Fi Hua saw the situation and hurried out of his car.


    Seeing her son, a glimmer of hope appeared in Fu Hee''s eyes as she beckoned on him to hurry over.


    "Mum, what happened?." Fu Hua asked with furrowed brows as he quickly approached them.


    "I don''t know, but she is finding it difficult to breathe. Quick, take her inside while I call the doctor." Fu Hee said to him in panic.


    Without wasting time, Fu Hua lifted Jia Li in his arms and carried her inside the house with hurried footsteps.


    He could hear Jia Li calling out to her mother while trying to catch her breath.


    "It''s okay, don''t talk anymore and try to breathe." Fu Hua said to her in a calm tone as he walked into the living area with her in his arms.


    Fu Hee followed after them whilemunicating with the doctor on the phone.


    Butler Lu came down the steps immediately he heard what happened. The chauffeur came to inform him about it.


    "Young Master, what happened to her?." Butler Lu asked worriedly as he walked towards them.


    "She is finding it difficult to breathe. Go and tell my grandfather to release the military helicopter so the doctor cane quickly." Fu Hua replied as he carried Jia Li into her bedroom.


    When the Old Man heard the news, he immediately sent out an order for the military helicopter to go and bring the doctor over.


    Fu Hua ced Jia Li on the bed in an upright position while Fu Hee tried to console her from the side.


    "I want to talk to my mother." Jia Li said breathlessly.


    "How do you still think of talking to your mother in this condition, you should try to get better soon." Fu Hee said to her as she was starting to get annoyed with the situation.


    "My mum is in trouble, I can feel it." Jia Li said as Fu Hua sat by her side and rubbed her back.


    "How do you know?." Fu Hee asked with a frown.


    Jia Li did not say anything and only ced her palm on her chest.


    Fu Hua and Fu Hee understood beat she meant.


    Thinking that it could be true, Fu Hee didn''t know what to do.


    "I will help you contact your mother, where is your phone?." Fu Hee asked.


    "In the car." Jia Li replied.


    "Don''t talk anymore!." Fu Hua said in a cold tone.


    Fu Hee quickly left the room.


    A minuteter, Grandfather Fu walked into Jia Li''s bedroom.


    "Jia Li, what is wrong?. Are you still worried about going home? I already promised to send you back today." Grandfather Fu said in a worried tone as he came to her side.


    "Grandfather, my mum is in trouble." Jia Li said to him as tears rolled down her cheeks.


    "Jia Li, your parents are fine. If you are worried about them, I will call them for you." Grandfather Fu said to her as he sat on the chair the Butler brought close to the bed for him.


    "Where is your mother?." Grandfather Fu asked Fu Hua.


    "She went to get Jia Li''s phone." Fu Hua replied.


    Quickly, Fu Hee walked in with Fu Hua''s phone.


    "I found your mother''s contact." Fu Hee said to her.


    "Fu Hee, take over from Fu Hua." Grandfather Fu instructed and immediately the mother and so exchanged roles.


    "Dial her mother''s number." Grandfather Fu said to Fu Hua who was now with Jia Li''s phone.


    Grandfather Fu was deeply worried and knew that for Jia Li to be in this state, something serious has happened back home.


    He knew Fu Hee''s character very well, so he had to switch roles.


    In case if something bad really happened, She wouldn''t be able to handle the situation and might end up blurting the news out without much consideration.


    Fu Hua would be in a better position to make the call.


    Fu Hua dialed the contact ''Mum ??'' on Jia Li''s phone. After the long ring, no one answered the call.


    He dialed the number two more times, and the result remained the same.


    "What happened?." Grandfather Fu asked while Jia Li watched in a tense manner.


    "No one is answering the call." Fu Hua announced.


    "Maybe she is at work. Try Mr. Qin''s line." Grandfather Fu instructed just before Jia Li could mention her father.

 Chapter 70 - A Serious Situation

    <h4>Chapter 70 - A Serious Situation</h4>


    "What happened?." Grandfather Fu asked while Jia Li watched in a tense manner.


    "No one is answering the call." Fu Hua announced.


    "Maybe she is at work. Try Mr. Qin''s line." Grandfather Fu instructed just before Jia Li could mention her father.


    Fu Hua went ahead to dial Mr. Qin''s number. After the first ring, the call was answered.


    "Hello, Jia Li." Officer Su greeted.


    After the nurse handed the phone and some other items they got from Mr. Qin''s pocket, she walked back into the theater.


    It didn''t take long before the phone in his hand started ringing. When he saw the caller ID, he was a bit tensed because of the situation. But he knew he had to do his job, so he answered the call.


    He thought it was Jia Li on the line since the iing call showed her caller ID.


    Fu Hua heard the young male voice from the other end of the phone and frowned a little before going ahead to introduce himself.


    "This is not Jia Li. I am Fu Hua, and Jia Li is with us at the Fu House. May I speak to Mr. Qin?."


    Officer Su was taken aback when he heard that surname, then he remembered the Old retired Major General he met at the same hospital about 3 months ago.


    He thought that Fu Hua must be his grandson because his voice sounded calm and mature. Officer Su went ahead to introduce himself.


    "Good Day Mr. Fu, I am Officer Su. I don''t know if you can remember me, but I helped with the Old General''s case when he was hospitalized. But that''s not the issue. Is Miss Qin Jia Li there with you?." Officer Su asked.


    "Yes, she is here with me. Is her father nearby, she wants to speak with him?." Fu Hua asked directly while witnessing everyone''s curious gaze on him.


    "Mr. Fu, there is a serious issue over here. Miss Qin''s parents were attacked by the loan sharks and they two were seriously injured before we could arrive. Right now, they are in the theater. It would be good for the patient''s family toe over." Officer Su exined.


    Fu Hua''s facial expression did not change, but he couldn''t help furrowing his brows.


    Grandfather Fu was right beside him, so he could feel the heavy aura he was emitting, so he knew something was really wrong from the other end.


    Jia Li on the other hand was too tensed that she couldn''t help grasping onto the sheets. She was nervously waiting for a response from Fu Hua.


    Fu Hee on the other hand wanted to know about the situation, but she couldn''t ask about it because the old man had already sent her a warning re, so she could only keep quiet and continue to rub Jia Li''s back.


    Fu Hua was about to say something to Officer Su when he heard a feminine voice from the other end of the phone, so he kept quiet and listened.


    On the other side, A middle-aged doctor walked towards Officer Su and his colleague from the hallway.


    When Officer Su saw the doctor walking towards him, he didn''t wait for him and met him halfway. He even forgot to disconnect the call.


    "Doctor, how is Mrs. Qin?." Officer Su asked.


    "We are sorry, we couldn''t have her. Her heart had stopped beating before we could start operating. Where is her family member?." The Doctor asked?


    "Her daughter is not in town now, but I will get across to her." Officer Su replied.


    "Please do that quickly, as we have other formalities to conclude." The doctor said and walked away with the two nurses by his side.


    Fu Hua heard the whole conversation, and his countenance became heavier. But because he was good with masking his facial expressions, nobody could tell anything from looking at him.


    Officer Su remembered he was still on a call, so he put the phone back to his ear.


    "Mr. Fu, you''ve heard from the doctor, Mrs. Qin is dead. Mr. Qin is still in the theater, and his condition is critical. As their daughter, Miss Qin''s presence is needed.


    "Thank you, Officer Su. Miss Qin would be there as soon as possible."


    With that, Fu Hua ended the call.


    "What happened?!." Fu Hee blurted out.


    She clearly heard her son say, ''Officer Su''


    "Miss Qin there is a bit of emergency back home, and your presence is needed immediately. Please get ready to leave in 10 minutes." Fu Hua said to Jia Li with a cold tone.


    He was not purposely being cold to her, but he couldn''t help but talk that way. He really pitied her situation.


    "Did something happen?." Jia Li asked as tears rolled down her cheeks. Her heartbeats were unstable.


    "Jia Li calm down, and get dressed, I will apany you back home." Grandfather Fu turned to her to say, before instructing the personal servant he assigned to her, to pack a few of her things.


    Just before leaving her bedroom, the doctor arrived, so they left the room, leaving Jia Li, her servant, and the doctor alone.


    When they walked to the living room, the butler helped Grandfather Fu to sit.


    "Fu Hua, tell us about your conversation with Officer Su. Did something happen to Mr. Qin?." Grandfather Fu asked.


    "Grandfather, the situation is very serious. The loan sharks attacked Miss Qin''s parents before the police could arrive. Their situation was very serious so they were rushed to the hospital immediately, but Mrs. Qin died before they could start operating on her. Mr. Qin is still in the theater, and his condition is very critical."


    Fu Hua exined the situation as detailed as he could.


    "What?!." Fu Hee cried out in shock ????


    Grandfather Fu was shocked as well. "This is bad news! Jia Li can''t handle this news."


    "Fu Hua, call Mr. Qin''s number, I need to speak with Officer Su." Grandfather Fu said before turning to his Butler to instruct...


    "Prepare the Private Jet, and pack a few of my things, we are leaving here in the next 15 minutes."


    The Butler took his order and left immediately. He also was shocked by the news and pitied Jia Li.


    ''Poor child.''

 Chapter 71 - Save Your Strength

    <h4>Chapter 71 - Save Your Strength</h4>


    Grandfather Fu spoke with Officer Su and even phoned him with his private number.


    After speaking in detail with him, Grandfather Fu understood the situation a lot.


    "Jia Li''s parents are so unfortunate to encounter the Loan sharks." Grandfather Fu said.


    "Why would her parents borrow money from the main sharks?!." Fu Hee asked in a heavy tone.


    "Don''t spout nonsense if you don''t know the truth. Jia Li''s parents did not borrow money from the loan sharks, the loan sharks went to the wrong address." Grandfather Fu exined.


    "What?! Father, is that even possible?." Fu Hee asked.


    She found the circumstance a little out of hand. How could the loan sharks go to the wrong address to beat people to death? How did they misce the address of their client?


    "There is more to this. The loan sharks that were caught are still under investigation. We will find out everything that happened when we get there." Grandfather Fu said.


    Fu Hua who has been standing by the side with furrowed brows spoke up.


    "I think something is fishy. Apart from going to the wrong address, howe they didn''t recognize the person that borrowed money from them?."


    "Fu Hua, gather your things and assign tasks to your HOD''s, you areing with me." Grandfather Fu said to Fu Hua.


    Fu Hua nodded in agreement before walking away. He didn''t want to follow his grandfather, because whatever happened there had nothing to do with him.


    And he just promised his girlfriend a vacation, now, he has to cancel the ns.


    He didn''t want to go, but a part of him wanted to go, for Jia Li. His cold heart softened because of her situation.


    "Father, can Ie along?." Fu Hee asked. Not because she really cares about Jia Li, but because she wanted answers to her questions.


    "You are the first daughter-inw and the Mistress of this family. Do you really want to leave this house for other people to manage for you, while youe with us to do nothing?." Grandfather Fu asked in an angry tone.


    "I''m sorry, I will stay back and manage the family." Fu Hee replied.


    How could she have forgotten such an important detail? Fu ChunHua and her family were still around. If she leaves her task and role and travel, would her ears rest when shees back?


    Fu ChunHua might even start dragging position with her since she has stood in the gap for her.


    Fu Hee agreed to stay back to take care of the family.


    Very quickly, Fu Hua packed hisptop and a few of his things in a suitcase before dragging them to the living room.


    He didn''t know how long they were going to stay over there, so he had better go prepared.


    "Fu Hua, help to contact Jia Li''s family when you get over there. At least, all responsibilities will not be on us." Fu Hee said to Fu Hua in a low tone.


    Fu Hua gave her a cold nce before walking away.


    "Hmm... did I say something wrong?." Fu Hee asked when she felt that cold gaze from her son.


    Some minutester, the doctor was done stabilizing Jia Li''s condition.


    Grandfather Fu was curious about what happened to her, so the doctor exined.


    "It is a telepathy instinct. She kept calling for her parents, which means she can feel their distress."


    "Howe?." Fu Hee asked.


    The doctor sighed and exined further. "Miss Jia Li can feel the emotions of the people she loves. She can tell when they are happy and when they are in trouble, and distress can not be a barrier."


    "Doctor, you''reing with us. Something serious indeed happened to Jia Li''s parents, and I think she may not be strong enough to receive the shock. And in that case, you have to stabilize her." Grandfather Fu said.


    The doctor had no reason to reject the request since he didn''t have any emergency appointments at the hospital.


    When Jia Li walked out of the room with her servant, there was silence.


    "Miss Qin, the jet is ready, we can leave now." Fu Hua spoke up before Jia Li could ask any question.


    In three minutes, they set out in two cars with three military cars as an escort.


    Jia Li should have been in the same car with the Old man, but because he had to settle some things without her knowledge, he arranged for her to sit with Fu Hua in the same car.


    That way too, Jia Li won''t be able to ask him any more questions. So in this case, Fu Hua was the best fit for her.


    Throughout the journey, Jia Li was apprehensive. Fu Hua had this cold attitude, and she couldn''t ask him anything.


    She also couldn''t ask for her phone as he was the one with it.


    Deep down Jia Li''s heart, she knew that her parents were in trouble, and for that reason, her heart couldn''t be at rest.


    when their cars got to the military camp, they switched over and boarded the Jet.


    Grandfather Fu made Jia Li sit close to Fu Hua again. Jia Li was getting frustrated by the minute.


    The only time Fu Hua spoke was when he made a call to his Assistant about work.


    Then apart from when he gave her a passing nce, he didn''t look at her again.


    About 30 minutester, their Jetnded, and there were military cars avable to pick them up.


    "Fu Hua, you will go to the station with the lieutenant to find out things from that end. The doctor and the butler will follow Jia Li and me to the hospital." Grandfather Fu Instructed.


    When Jia Li, heard she was going to the hospital, she began to panic.


    "Grandfather, why are we going to the hospital?." Jia Li asked with tears in her eyes.


    "We are going to see your Father." Grandfather Fu replied in a heavy tone.


    Jia Li never knew that things would be so serious. She thought her father got into trouble with the police, but nobody told her he would be in the hospital.


    Jia Li kept asking questions, but Grandfather advised her to save her strength.


    ''Save my strength, what does that mean?''

 Chapter 72 - He Has Been Waiting For Her

    <h4>Chapter 72 - He Has Been Waiting For Her</h4>


    When Jia Li got to the hospital and learned the situation of her parents, she finally understood what the old man meant by ''save your strength''


    Officer Su was already standing at the entrance of the hospital when they arrived.


    "Officer Su, what happened to my father?." Jia Li asked, without knowing that her mother had died about 2 hours ago.


    Officer Su was in a dilemma. He nced at Grandfather Fu and the people behind him, before slowly changing back to Jia Li.


    "Miss, your father is in the theater." Officer Su replied.


    Jia Li was shocked to hear the news as she took some steps back as hot tears rolled down her cheeks.


    Her servant which Grandfather Fu assigned to take care of her, quickly came to her side to hold her.


    "What happened? How can this be?." Jia Li asked?


    "Officer Su, please lead the way." Butler Lu said before Jia Li would ask another question that will be difficult to reply to.


    Officer Su led them in, and straight to the theater.


    Jia Li could see the bright red light of the theater, which signified that surgery was going on. She covered her face with her palms and wailed uncontrobly.


    Grandfather Fu tried to console and encourage her, but she wouldn''t listen.


    Grandfather Fu sighed before instructing Officer Su to get the doctor, the doctor in charge of Mrs. Qin''s surgery.


    Officer Su left and arrived 5 minutester with the doctor and a nurse.


    "Are you Jia Li, Mrs. Qin''s daughter?." The doctor asked after greeting Grandfather Fu.


    Jia Li raised her head and nced at the doctor. She recognized him as she had seen him on one or two asions.


    "Yes, I am. Doctor, what about my mother?." Jia Li asked as she stood to her feet and wiped her tears.


    "Miss Qin, I''m sorry to announce to you that we lost your mother. She was already in aa before she was brought here. And before we could start operating on her, we lost her. Please ept my condolences." The doctor said as he gave a slight bow.


    Jia Li was probably too shocked to react because she wasn''t saying anything. She didn''t even hear the rest of the words the doctor said to her.


    "Jia Li... Jia Li..." Grandfather Fu called out but received no response.


    ''She must have been too shocked with the news.'' Grandfather Fu thought as a sigh escaped from his lips.


    He ced his hand on Jia Li''s shoulder, and then signaled to the servant to help her sit down.


    As there were still some formalities left to settle, the nurse had to speak up since Jia Li wasn''t responding to the doctor.


    "Miss Qin, the doctor would need your cooperation to identify and im the patient''s body."


    No matter what they said to Jia Li, she didn''t respond to them.


    "Doctor, it looks like the patient is in shock. Please give her some time." The middle-aged doctor that came with Grandfather Fu, said.


    "Alright. But Miss Qin needs to sign some papers before the body would be transferred to the morgue." The doctor exined.


    "We understand, thank you!." Grandfather Fu said.


    "That''s the least we can do Sir." The doctor said before leaving with the nurse.


    Jia Li didn''t know how long time passed by before hot tears started streaming down her eyes. From sniffing, her wail got louder.


    Grandfather Fu sighed as he rubbed her back.


    "Mum... Mum... Mum..." Jia Li mumbled as she wailed with her palms over her mouth.


    Jia Li cried tears of pain and anguish. She was too grieved to say anything, as the only words that left her mouth were, mum.


    Grandfather Fu thought it was best to let her emotions out, so he allowed her to cry to her heart''s content.


    But how could Jia Li cry to her heart''s content?


    Before 5 minutes passed, the doors to the theater opened, and the doctor walked out with a grave expression on his face.


    When the rest except for Jia Li saw the doctor''s facial expression, they knew that things weren''t good.


    "Doctor, how is the patient?." Butler Lu asked.


    Jia Li''s attention was caught, but she didn''t raise her head as she continued to cry.


    "I''m sorry, but we lost him. For a moment, we thought he had him because his heart rates stabilized a few minutes ago after about 2 hours of battling before it started beeping."


    "A few minutes ago? That was when we came in." The Butler said.


    Grandfather Fu who was in deep thought said slowly as his gazended on Jia Li. "He must have been waiting for her."


    Grandfather Fu''s words made sense. Mr. Qin''s heart rate has been unstable for a long time, and only became normal when Jia Li walked into the hospital.


    Then when he was assured that his daughter was okay, and hade to send him off, he gave up the ghost.


    Mr. Qin was really waiting for Jia Li to say goodbye.


    Jia Li felt her brain shut down. It felt like she didn''t hear what the doctor said clearly because she looked lost as she stared at him.


    "Doctor, what... what happened to my... my father?." Jia Li asked.


    The doctor heaved a sigh before replying to her question.


    "I''m sorry Miss, but we lost your father 5 minutes ago."


    Jia Li felt her world copse as everything turned dark in front of her. Thest words she heard before she lost consciousness was her name being called out from different people.


    "Jia Li!." Grandfather Fu called out in shock as he caught her immediately.


    "Miss!." The servant called out with tears in her eyes as she held Jia Li''s hand.


    "Miss Qin!." Officer Su and Butler Lu shouted as they rushed over.


    "Quick, take a look at her!." Grandfather Fu ordered his doctor.


    Quickly, a room was made avable, and Jia Li was carried inside the room before the doctor started checking up on her.


    "General, Miss Qin is weak and grieving, so she tainted. She would be a little better even she wakes up." The doctor said to Grandfather Fu who has been waiting outside.


    "Can I see her now?." Grandfather Fu asked worriedly.


    He med himself for Jia Li''s condition. He thought it would be best for Jia Li to receive the shocking news at once, so she wouldn''t have to be tormented over and over again.


    But what he didn''t know, was that she would be too weak to handle both news at the same time.

 Chapter 73 - The Search For Jia Lis Uncle

    <h4>Chapter 73 - The Search For Jia Li''s Uncle</h4>


    When the old General stepped into Jia Li''s room and saw her lying on the bed with a drip connected to her vein, he felt guilty and responsible for her condition.


    Butler Lu brought a chair closer to the bed, so he could sit.


    Grandfather Fu sat down and ced his hands on Jia Li''s hands. There was regret in his eyes as he spoke gently to her.


    "Jia Li, Grandfather is sorry for letting you receive these blows all at once. I thought it would have been the best option, so you wouldn''t have to go through hell again, but no, I was wrong. Jia Li, I hope you forgive me."


    After Grandfather Fu said his part, he gently caressed Jia Li''s hand and let go.


    "Master, Miss Qin is really pitiful. She lost himr parents the same day. I pray she gets over this soon." Butler Lu said from the side with a hint of pity in his tone.


    "Get Fu Hua on the phone, we must get to the bottom of this matter and give Jia Li an exnation when she wakes up." Grandfather Fu said.


    At Fu Hua''s end, when he arrived, the Superintendent of police, was already there and waiting for him.


    Fu Hua speaks with him and gets a better understanding of the situation.


    The loan sharks that were caught, were scared out of their wits when they discovered the military was linked to their case.


    Was it not over for them?


    If they had the slightest idea the people they assaulted were rted to the military, they wouldn''t have dared to receive the order from their boss, whether they borrowed money from them or not.


    Before Grandfather Fu came down, he already spoke with Officer Su and mobilized some people to help with the investigation.


    He also put a call across to the Superintendent, and the man immediately got his ass over to the district office to take over the case.


    Seeing the Boss himself overseeing their case, the loan sharks confessed and told them everything they knew.


    As for the loan sharks that escaped, they immediately went back to their base and confessed their mistake to their Boss.


    Their Boss was so angry that he kicked them.


    "How could you start beating people without confirming their identities, you moron!!!."


    "Boss, it''s not our fault, it''s that Bastard that borrowed money from us and refused to pay back. He was the one that out the wrong address in the contract he signed, and we were led there." One of them said with a grave expression on his face.


    "That bastard! He dared to deceive us?!." The Boss said angrily as he kicked a wooden chair.


    "Where is that fool?!." He growled.


    "Boss, that is not the point now. The point is that the police are after us soon since they caught the others. We have to escape from here." One of them reminded him.


    How could he be thinking about going to look for that bastard that put them in this trouble when their lives were at stake?


    "That bastard! Wait till this matter dies down and I will castrate him! But all of you are fools. How can you beat somebody to that state, what if you killed them?." The Boss admonished them while pointing his fingers to them angrily.


    ''Boss were you not the one that asked us to beat people up?.''


    One of them thought, but dared not to voice it out, for fear of being beaten to death.


    "We are sorry Boss!." All of them bowed and apologized.


    "Quick, gather our most important things and leave before the policees for us!." The Boss ordered, and the rest started gathering their things.


    After getting the confession from the loan sharks that were caught, and because of the Fu Family''s influence, all the police stations in the city were ordered to find the loan sharks and their Boss that escaped.


    Not just the police, the military was involved as well in this case.


    When Grandfather Fu got to Fu Hua through the phone, he learned of the situation and deployed more people to search for the loan sharks that went into hiding.


    He promised to exin to Jia Li when she wakes up. Even if he had to mobilize the country to search for those people, he will do that as long as he gets the fastest result.


    Because of the advancement of technology, and the number of people ordered to look for them, the loan sharks and their Boss were found 3 hourster at their hiding ce.


    They were scared for their life when they saw the military and the number of police cars that came to find them.


    The Boss of the loan sharks kept shouting he wasn''t the murderer, but instead, he received a tight p on his face when he refused to shut up.


    When the others saw the way their Boss was being treated, they didn''t dare to voice their opinion. They remained mute until they were brought to the station.


    Without torture, the loan sharks confessed to their crimes and answered all the questions that were thrown at them.


    They didn''t forget to sell their boss out.


    It turned out their Boss was a local drug dealer.


    Since it was the military that interrogated them, how dare they not confess to all the crimes they hadmitted without being asked?


    They knew they couldn''t escape, so why bother trying to make life difficult for themselves when they could just say everything and escape being tortured.


    With the information the loan sharks gave to them, the police understood the situation very well.


    Mr. Qin''s brother-inw borrowed a huge amount of the money from the loan sharks and failed to pay it back after the time given to him had expired.


    He also failed toply after the grace of two months given to him, expired.


    The loan sharks beat him up and threatened to find him and beat him up again if he doesn''te back within some days with their money and interest.


    When they didn''t see the man, they decided to find his address from the form he filled in, and visit him.


    Out of the people that were sent to the address, it was only one that had seen and known Mr. Qin''s brother-inw, hence, they made the mistake.


    After taking down their confession, the search for Jia Li''s uncle began.


    Although Grandfather Fu was satisfied with the progress of the work, he was still very angry with Jia Li''s uncle.


    What a moron!


    "Fu Hua, you''re doing a good job. Now the progress has reached this level, you cane back to the hospital. Jia Li is so pitiful, losing her parents in one day, I don''t know how she wille out of this." Grandfather Fu said to Fu Hua over the phone.


    Earlier, Fu Hua learned from his Grandfather that Jia Li''s father died a few minutester after they stepped foot into the hospital. And when Jia Li received the news, she fainted.


    Fu Hua''s cold heart, felt the pain and anguish she must be going through. He knew she was still young and was going through a lot at the moment.


    Grandfather Fu was still on a call with Fu Hua when the servant he ced at Jia Li''s side, came out to tell him Jia Li was awake.


    Grandfather Fu ended the call and walked into the room to see Jia Li sitting up on her bed and staring into space.


    Grandfather Fu''s heart that felt joyful a moment ago, suddenly felt pins stabbing his heart.


    Jia Li didn''t even acknowledge his presence and just sat there with her gaze on the wall.


    "Jia Li, are you okay?." Grandfather Fu asked in a gentle tone as he went to sit beside her bed.


    Jia Li didn''t react until she felt the cold palms on her hands. Her eyes slowly came back to life as her gaze moved from the wall to the familiar face.


    The old man felt a little better when he saw Jia Li stare at him.


    "Jia Li, everything is going to be alright. We have found the people that caused this incident."


    The grandfather Fu went ahead to exin everything Fu Hua told him.


    "... your uncle used your address while filling the form for the loan. Right now, the loan sharks have been arrested, and the police have been dispatched to find your uncle."


    Jia Li''s eyes flickered, but she didn''t say anything


    "Jia Li, I promise to bring those people to punish all of them. By morning, we will go to your home. For now, you still need to finish the formalities here as the child of your parents, so their body can be sent to the morgue."


    Finally, Jia Li''s eyes became teary but she stopped the tears from rolling down her cheeks.


    She sniffed and rubbed away the tear that was at the corner of her eye.

 Chapter 74 - The Second Most Respected Person In The Fu Family

    <h4>Chapter 74 - The Second Most Respected Person In The Fu Family</h4>


    When Fu Hua returned, he felt that Jia Li has be another person. She was emotionless and could only manage to say a few words only when necessary.


    After seeing her parents for thest time, Jia Li signed the papers the doctor gave to her before the bodies of her parents were moved to the morgue.


    When Jia Li was about to leave, a woman in a nurse uniform rushed over to her side in tears, but she was stopped by the two soldiers standing close to Jia Li.


    "Jia Li, it''s me. I heard what happened to your parents." The woman said in tears as she was stopped by the soldiers.


    Jia Li recognized the woman as her mother''s close friend who also worked at the same hospital as a nurse.


    "Grandfather, she is my mother''s friend."


    As Jia Li said that, the woman was allowed to pass through.


    The woman came to Jia Li''s side and dared not to touch her.


    "Jia Li, I''m sorry about what happened. I had a night shift today, so I didn''t know about all of these until I came in some minutes ago and heard the news." The woman cried.


    "Aunty, thank you for taking care of my mother." Jia Li said.


    "Jia Li, how did all of these happen? Your mother called in sick this morning because she was down with a cold, and now, she is dead?" The woman asked as she wiped her tears.


    Jia Li clenched her fists ???? beside her and asked as her eyes reddened.


    "My mother was sick?" Jia Li asked.


    "She didn''t tell you? She was down with a cold this morning and she called me to help her take a 2-days leave." The nurse revealed with a pained look on her face.


    "Thank you, Aunty, for telling me about this." Jia Li said in a low tone.


    "There is no trouble. What are you going to do now? Do you have any family members that can help you out now?" The nurse asked.


    "Family member? Aunty, don''t worry about me. I am fine. I have to leave now." Jia Li said and turned away.


    The nurse could only watch as Jia Li walked back to the people she was with.


    Fu Hua, Grandfather Fu, and everybody person there heard the conversation between Jia Li and the nurse.


    Such heartless people, they didn''t even spare a sick person!


    "Jia Li, we are going to the small Vi I have in this city. That was the ce I stayed before I had the ident." Grandfather Fu said to lighten the mood.


    "I will listen to Grandfather." Jia Li said as she felt pain in her heart.


    Fu Hua nced at her and didn''t say anything. It was not in his nature to strike up a conversation and now added to the fact that Jia Li was acting this way.


    Jia Li followed Grandfather Fu and the rest to the small vi that was close to the Woods. That ce was lonely, but there was space in her head to imagine the kind of ce the old man chose to build a house.


    Her mind was upied by endless thoughts and emotions.


    As dinner was served, Grandfather Fu called for Jia Li toe over and eat, but she said she wasn''t hungry and wanted to be alone.


    Grandfather Fu was scared she might harm herself out of grief, so he ordered her servant to send food to her room, and stay there with her.


    Jia Li sat on the bed motionlessly. No matter how the poor servant called out to her, she didn''t respond.


    She sat on the bed and stared into the distance as she thought about her parents.


    ''Dad, Mum, where are you? Did you both leave me?''


    When the servant saw that Jia Li wasn''t even paying attention to her, she sighed to herself. She felt like crying on her behalf, but she managed to force the emotions down.


    The servant cleared the tes away when the food turned cold. Then she returned and went straight to the bathroom to prepare the bath for Jia Li.


    "Miss, I have prepared the bath for you." The servant said to Jia Li.


    Jia Li nced at her without saying anything.


    The servant sighed and went to her side. She took the duvet off her body and helped her stand to her feet.


    Jia Li let her do what she wanted and followed her into the bathroom like a robot.


    "You can leave." Jia Li said to her.


    The servant was scared that Jia Li might do something to herself, but Jia Li was adamant about being alone, so the servant left.


    She stood right outside the door to wait for Jia Li because she couldn''t trust her.


    If something happens to Jia Li, how could she keep her life?


    At the dining room, Grandfather talked a bit with Fu Hua about the case, before asking him to call home.


    When the rest of the Fu family members came home that day, Fu Hee told them what happened.


    They were quite surprised by the news. They just left the house in the morning to go about their normal daily life only toe back and hear bad news.


    "Grandfather and Brother left with Jia Li?" Fu YingPei asked.


    "Yes. She needed someone there to take care of some important matters." Fu Hee replied.


    "That girl is so pitiful. She just left her family and her father encountered trouble." Fu ChunHua said with a sigh.


    "Fu Hee has father called you yet?" Fu Lei asked.


    "No." Fu Hee replied.


    "Why don''t you call him to find out more about that girl and if they have settled the issue." Fu ChunHua said.


    "Father is busy, and he will call when he has settled everything." Fu Hee replied without sparing her a nce.


    "Your attitude right now shows that you don''t care. Shouldn''t you be the one calling to know what''s happening over there instead of waiting for Father to call?" Fu ChunHua asked arrogantly.


    She was angrier that Fu Hee did not put her in her eyes, so she was rude to her.


    "Are you more righteous than me?" Fu Hee asked in a raised tone.


    She was annoyed that Fu ChunHua did not know her ce.


    "You that is more righteous, why don''t you do your work? You im to be the mistress of the house, but you don''t act like one!" Fu ChunHua said angrily.


    "Are you unhappy that I am the mistress of this Family, sorry, but there is nothing you can do about it?" Fu Hee said.


    "You..." Fu ChunHua said while pointing at Fu Hee. She was about to explode when Fu Lei hit his palm on the table.


    "What is wrong with the both of you? Always fighting and quarreling, what are you teaching the children?" Fu Lei said angrily.


    Fu Hee and Fu ChunHua red at each other but dared not to say another word.


    Fu Lei''s temper wasn''t good, especially when he was provoked. He was in the army, and so he has a different mindset.


    He can''t stand two women bickering by his side, especially about matters that didn''t make sense.


    After Grandfather Fu, Fu Lei was the next person in the family that was highly respected. So, his word and presence held a lot of weight.


    After Fu Lei finished admonishing them, none of them dared to speak up again.


    Fu Juan sighed. At least, there was some peace now.


    She took out her phone and dialed Grandfather Fu''s number, but Butler Lu was the one that answered the call.


    The call was short.


    "Aunty Juan, what did grandfather say?" YingPei asked.


    "It was Butler Lu that answered the call. Father is eating and will call uster." Fu Juan replied.


    Not too long after, Fu Hua called his father and exined the situation to him even though he wasn''t aware of the matter from the start.


    His mother would have been the best person to call since she was the only person around when they left. But given his mother''s character, he didn''t want to call her.


    Fu Lei''s phone rang, and that garnered the attention of the others.


    He answered the call and listened to Fu Hua speak for almost five minutes. And throughout the call, his facial expression did not change, thus, igniting the curiosity of the rest.


    After the call, Fu Lei sighed and put the phone away. ncing at the rest of the family, he saw how eager they were and went ahead to tell them the conversation he had with Fu Hua.


    He was very brief with his speech.


    Considering how serious the matter was, Fu YingPei was speechless with the way his father described the situation with short simple words.


    But because of how serious the matter was, this was not a time for him to make fun of him.


    But he still dared not to make fun of his father on a normal asion.


    It''s not like he wanted to die.

 Chapter 75 - We Are Family

    <h4>Chapter 75 - We Are Family</h4>


    The Fu Family pitied Jia Li, and they talked about her case for a while before dispersion.


    Jia Li''s Uncle, on the other hand, has been hiding and taking shelter in a local casino where he used to drink and gamble, without knowing he was on the wanted list.


    As for his family, he didn''t care about them, since he was very sure no harm woulde to them.


    The man had even forgotten that he used a fake address while registering for the loan, so he ran away and went into hiding.


    All through the night, Jia Li did not sleep. She sat on her bed and was staring into space.


    When the servant woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, she was almost scared out of her wits, seeing Jia Li staring into space.


    After seeing Jia Li, in that state, the Servant couldn''t fall asleep again. She went out to use the bathroom and returned to sit on the extra bed ced in the room.


    She sat there and apanied Jia Li till morning.


    The next morning, Jia Li had her breakfast and went to sit in the dining area, since the old man wanted her presence.


    Jia Li refused to eat and eat there motionlessly.


    Fu Hua nced at her and didn''t say anything to her. He could at least tell she wasn''t in a good state of mind.


    Grandfather Fu did not have a good appetite either, because Jia Li was not like herself. But he managed to eat a little before he left the house for Jia Li''s


    When their cars stopped in front of the vandalized property, they came down from the car and met some police people that have been standing guard there.


    Because of the presence of the security that was guarding that ce, no third broke in to steal anything.


    As Jia Li nced at the house lost in thought, Fu Hua talked a bit with the police, while grandfather Fu stood close to her.


    "Miss Qin, you can go in to take a look." Fu Hua said from the side.


    "Let''s go." Grandfather Fu said to the attention of Jia Li.


    Like a wooden block, Jia Li was escorted inside the house.


    As she stepped into the house, she couldn''t recognize the ce she once called home. Everything in the living room was wrecked, and her only family (Parents), were gone!


    Fu Hua who has been watching her from the side walked towards her and said to her in a low tone when he saw that she was still motionless.


    "Miss Qin, it''s okay to cry"


    Even after saying that to her, he didn''t receive any response.


    Grandfather Fu was worried about Jia Li because she was no different from a robot. When he consulted the doctor about her condition, he was told the only solution was for her to let out her feelings.


    Grandfather Fu sighed as he watched from the side. So ording to the doctor, he knew the only way for Jia Li to get well emotionally, was to cry and let out her feelings of anger, sadness, anguish, and hate.


    Grandfather Fu knew that Jia Li was suffering a lot internally, by holding back her emotions, and if she continued in this state, her mental state could be affected.


    Grandfather decided to try his luck to bring tears to her eyes.


    "Jia Li, you can take a look around the house. ording to the police, the loan sharks destroyed things in the living room, but the other ces are still intact. You can check if anything is missing."


    Jia Li nodded and started entering the rooms in the house one after the other, not to search for anything but to recall all the memories she had with her parents, just like Grandfather Fu''s aim.


    Jia Li blocked her emotions and just walked around the house. When she walked into her parents'' bedroom and saw their family picture, she said at it for a while before walking away.


    Fu Hua who knew his grandfather''s ns was not surprised that it didn''t work. But he knew with time, Jia Li will return to her usual self.


    As Fu Hua was talking with his grandfather, he received a call from the police, so he took few steps away to answer the call.


    He returned to his old man''s side 2 minster.


    "The police?." Grandfather Fu asked.


    "Yes. They managed to get a hold of Jia Li''s uncle 5 minutes ago, and they are on their way to the station." Fu Hus replied.


    "Where did they find him?." Grandfather Fu asked.


    "He was hiding at a local casino. He had a little cash with him, so he was gambling." Fu Hua revealed.


    Jia Li''s uncle used the money the loan sharks rejected, to gamble, in hopes that he might be lucky to win some money.


    He was gambling when he was caught.


    It was easy to get him after the loan sharks provided the information of the gambling houses he used to frequent.


    But how did they know he used to frequent gambling houses?


    That''s because they used to go there to gamble as well. They cheat the weak and take over their money, and they have cheated the man so many times.


    They usually used different people to cheat money from him, hence the idiot did not realize he was being okayed by the loan sharks.


    When Jia Li''s uncle was caught, he was so scared for his life. At first, he thought it was the loan sharks but when he saw it was the police that came for him, he rxed for a bit because he thought his wife must have used him of something.


    He rxed and thought it was a case that a simple exnation would do, or something like calling his wife over would sort the case.


    It was only when he got to the police station that he knew he was in for a deep shit.


    What shocked him more, was when he passed the cell and saw had the loan sharks in it.


    If the loan sharks that were after him were arrested, what was he doing there?


    That was the question he asked himself. He was thrown inside the cell and left there for a while to break any possible psychological barrier.


    They were going to take a statement from him since they knew he was the genesis of the tragic incident that happened. But for now, they wanted him to know what it felt like to be imprisoned.


    The amazing thing about his case was that he wasn''t told what his crimes were. He was arrested and bundled I side the car.


    And throughout their journey to the station, none of the policemen said a word to him.


    They just threw him inside the cell when they got to the station and left him there all by himself.


    When Jia Li came out from her Parents'' bedroom, her grandfather Fu beckoned on her toe to his side.


    "Jia Li, your uncle has been caught, do you want to go to the station to see him?" Grandfather asked.


    He felt it was right to seek Jia Li''s opinion since this matter involved a family member.


    "Grandfather, for things like this, handle it ording to thew, there is no need to involve me." Jia Li said emotionlessly.


    How could she still care about the person that broke her home?


    The person that snatched away from her happiness and ruined her family?


    She was not God to be merciful.


    The wicked and crimemittees will be punished ording to thew.


    Fu Hua and grandfather Fu were not surprised by Jia Li''s decision. If she had shown signs of pity towards her uncle, they would have thought something was wrong with her and would have sent her for brain surgery.


    As Grandfather Fu received Jia Li''s order, He immediately signaled Fu Hua to make a call and deal with the situation.


    To bring justice for Jia Li, the old man made sure that all the people involved in her parent''s death, were sent to life imprisonment with heavybor.


    They were also not allowed to receive visitors or see any members of their families.


    So just like that, their verdict was given before they were sent to court for their trial.


    When it was time to leave, Grandfather Fu seed for Jia Li''s permission to do a little renovation on the house.


    He wasn''t going to change everything in the house. The work that needed to be done, was just to change the doors and windows, and rece or fix the things that were broken.


    Jia Li nodded in response.


    "Thank you, Grandfather, I will appreciate your help." Jia Li said to the old man.


    "You don''t have to thank me, we are family." Grandfather Fu replied as he managed a smile.


    When they walked out of the house, there were close neighbors already waiting outside for Jia Li.


    They heard from the police that the Qin couple was rushed to the hospital after the loan sharks attacked them, but they were not sure of the insider news.

 Chapter 76 - This Child Is Left All Alone

    <h4>Chapter 76 - This Child Is Left All Alone</h4>


    They heard from the police that the Qin couple was rushed to the hospital after the loan sharks attacked them, but they were not sure of the insider news.


    One of the people standing outside the house was Li Huang''s mother.


    Grandfather Fu and Fu Hua knew they needed to give room for Jia Li to talk a little with her neighbors, and also to break the news of her parent''s death, so they gave her room.


    Grandfather Fu let the Butler, escort her with two policemen standing close to them for protection.


    Jia Li knew she had to talk to these people, even though she was not in the mood, so she decided to talk to them for a while, but she kept the conversation short.


    The neighbors who had been worried sick and curious to know what happened to Jia Li''s parents since most of them were aware that they were attacked by the loan sharks, started asking questions.


    Grandfather Fu and Fu Hua watched from the car as Jia Li talked to them.


    A little sadness could be seen on her face. Although she was grieved, her heart was filled with hate for those that brought the downfall of her family.


    She suddenly wanted revenge!


    "Will she be alright?" Grandfather Fu asked worriedly as they left Jia Li to face the questions from those people.


    "It would be good if she cries, then she will feel better." Fu Hua said with his gaze on Jia Li, then the old man nodded in understanding.


    "Jia Li, what happened? I heard from someone that your parents were attacked, so I had to rush down, but on getting here, I learned they were rushed to the hospital yesterday, how are they doing?" Li Huang''s mother asked.


    Jia Li lowered her gaze and forced the bitter feelings back, and then she raised her head to look at the people that surrounded her.


    There was a momentary silence as nobody said a word. But with Jia Li''s countenance and her actions, they could sense something wrong with the atmosphere.


    Jia Li wanted to reply, but she found out that she was tongue-tied.


    When Butler Lu saw this, he decided to speak for her.


    The people that were gathered, were shocked by the revtion.


    ''Mr. Qin and his wife died?''


    ''Jia Li''s parents are dead?''


    ''So, this child is left all alone?''


    Jia Li did not stay long and was about to leave when Li Huang''s mother caught her arm.


    "Jia Li, are you okay?"


    "Aunty, I''m fine!" Jia Li replied as she slowly shrugged her arms as gently as possible so she wouldn''t seem rude.


    "Are you staying with a rtive? If you don''t have any ce to stay,e and stay over at my ce." Li Huang''s mother suggested.


    As Jia bowed a little to her and was about to leave, she was surrendered by the neighbors again.


    They were asking different questions for rity, so Butler Lu stepped in and optioned to exin everything to them.


    Jia Li walked back to the car with her servant following after her.


    Butler Lu went ahead to brief the neighbors about the incident. They were all shocked when they learned the true story.


    It turned out that the loan sharks got the wrong address.


    The person they were looking for was Jia Li''s uncle who used their address.


    Jia Li''s uncle borrowed money from the loan sharks and couldn''t pay it back after the time expired.


    The loan sharks went to the address he gave to them before borrowing the money, hence, the unfortunate incident that happened to Jia Li''s parents.


    Jia Li''s parents died, and her uncle has been arrested, including the loan sharks involved in the incident.


    The neighbors pitied Jia Li about her losing her parents in an unfortunate manner.


    Those that were around and let the loan sharks attack withouting out, felt guilty.


    But in that kind of situation, nobody would want to risk his or her life, as it was human instinct to want to stay out of danger.


    The neighbors have lived in that neighborhood with Jia Li''s parents and knew she didn''t have any other family.


    How would she handle the Funeral and some other things by herself?


    Now Jia Li was alone, and she hasn''t finished school, how would she continue to survive in such a cruel world?


    The neighbors knew it was inappropriate for them to ask Butler Lu such questions, so they held in their thoughts.


    Most of them were aware that Jia Li was being helped by some people, and they were curious to know about the identity of the people.


    When Grandfather Fu came to stay with the Qin family for a short while, he was always indoors. And the two people that saw him at that time, couldn''t even recognize him now.


    Butler Lu walked to the car when he was done with his job, and the three cars left back to the Vi.


    When Mrs. Li got back to her house, she immediately phoned Li Huang to break the news to him.


    Li Huang was shocked by the news. He started asking questions frantically to understand the situation.


    His mother didn''t hide anything from him and told him everything Butler Lu had told them.


    "Where is Jia Li now, is she okay?" Li Huang asked worriedly.


    "Jia Li is fine. She was lucky she wasn''t present at the time the loan sharks came to attack her parents." Mrs. Li said with a tinge of pity for Jia Li.


    "Mum, did you see Jia Li, today, is she okay? Who is looking after her?" Li Huang asked breathlessly.


    "Jia Li is quite a strong child. She didn''t even cry. She should be alright, even though she looks pitiful. She has lost a lot of weight. But you don''t have to worry too much about her, as she has some people looking after her." Mrs. Li said.


    "Who are they? Mum, do you know their identity?" Li Huang asked.


    "I don''t know anything about them, but all I know is that they are not to be trifled with." Mrs. Li replied after receiving the scene in front of Jia Li''s house.


    The police have been guarding the house since the incident urred, and Mrs. Li saw the shy cars that were parked outside the house.


    "Mum, what about Jia Li''s uncle and his family? Now that he is locked up in prison, what about his wife?." Li Huang asked.


    "I have no idea about that. I don''t think Jia Li''s Aunty knows about this, otherwise, she would havee to plead with Jia Li." Mrs. Li said.


    "What is there to plead about? Mum, I''m worried about Jia Li, please tell me if anythinges up." Li Huang said to his mother.


    "Alright. But don''t forget to call Jia Li, you know she is all alone now." Mrs. Li reminded him.


    "I know, I will call herter. I''m in the office right now, and my Boss is already calling for me." Li Huang exined.


    "Okay, bye." Mrs. Li said as she ended the call.


    Back at the Vi, Jia Li''s phone rang. Fu Hua has been the one with Jia Li''s phone, so he took out the phone from his pocket to check the caller ID.


    "Miss Qin, your phone is ringing." Fu Hua said as she handed the phone to her.


    Jia Li was currently sitting in the living room. When she wanted to go back to her bedroom when they arrived, Grandfather Fu did not allow her.


    He was scared about her being alone, so he asked her to sit in the living room for a bit.


    Jia Li did not recognize her ringing tone when he heard it, because she was lost in thought. She had even forgotten that she had a phone.


    Jia Li took the phone from Fu Hua and answered the call without checking the caller ID.


    "Jia Li, are you okay? I heard what happened to your parents." The young female voice said.


    Jia Li found the voice familiar, but we couldn''t remember who the person was, so she nced at the caller ID before putting the phone back to her ear.


    And when she did that, she heard the other person say, ''Hello Jia Li, are you there?!''


    The person asked as there was silence at the other end.


    "DanDan, I''m fine." Jia Li said in a low tone.


    Fu Hua saw it was alright to leave her, so he walked away.


    He knew who was calling because that ID had called Jia Li''s line when he was busy at the station.


    When he found out she was Jia Li''s close friend and she wanted to reach Jia Li, he let her in on the news as briefly as possible.


    "I''m sorry Miss, but you can''t speak with Miss Qin now, because she is grieving. She just lost both of her parents. You can call herter."


    Fu Hua was truly emotionless as he ended the call right after that.

 Chapter 77 - You Can Depend On Me

    <h4>Chapter 77 - You Can Depend On Me</h4>


    When Jia Li finished speaking with her friend, she kept the phone beside her and continued staring into the distance.


    Some minutester, her servant came to call her for lunch. And knowing that she would quote hertest verse, the servant stopped her.


    "Miss, Old Mr. Fu said you can''t skip lunch, you have to eat something today."


    Jia Li didn''t want to prove stubborn and disrespectful to the old man because he has done a lot for her, so she followed the servant to the dining area.


    There, she saw everyone seated and waiting for her.


    Grandfather Fu noticed that Jia Li was bing weaker as a result of not eating anything since the news of her parent''s death.


    He had already spoken to the doctor, who was present at the dining table. The best thing Jia Li. could do for herself at the moment, was to eat.


    Grandfather Fu saw that Jia Li had arrived, so he gestured her to sit before he started talking to her, gently.


    "Jia Li, you are like a grandchild to me, and since the first time I set my eyes on you, I had already ced you in my heart, and that makes it harder for me to watch you suffer."


    Grandfather Fu sighed and continued, "I know you''re going through a lot, possibly the worst phase of your life, but you have to eat something, so you will have the strength to participate in your parent''s funeral arrangement. You have to send your parents off in the best state."


    Jia Li listened with her head down.


    That''s right, she almost forgot that she had to hold a funeral service for her parents and let them rest in peace.


    When Grandfather Fu felt that his words were not in vain, he gestured to her to eat as he put some vegetables on her te.


    Slowly, Jia Li picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.


    Grandfather Fu smiled and started to eat as well. The rest rxed and were relieved that Jia Li was eating. And this would be her first food since the tragic news they received.


    While eating, Jia Li could not taste the food in her mouth, but she continued to eat because she had a goal in mind. She was doing this for her parents.


    Few minutes into their lunch, Fu Hua was sitting close to Jia Li, noticed that had eyes had turned teary.


    And slowly, he saw the tears, slowly roll down her cheeks as she continued to eat.


    Fu Hua felt pain seeing her in that state, but he couldn''t do anything.


    When Grandfather Fu noticed that Jia Li was crying, he panicked a little, but then rxed a bit.


    He had been hoping for her to let out her emotions, but why did it have to happen now that she was having her first meal after a long time?


    The Butler who was standing at the side and the doctor was sitting ad the dining table, both noticed that Jia Li was crying. They pitied her but could not console her.


    Jia Li noticed she was crying and quickly put down her chopsticks and started wiping her tears away, but the more she wiped them away, the more tears that streamed down her eyes.


    "Why is it not stopping?" Jia Li said in a low tone, but she was still heard.


    None of them said a word to her. They became distracted from eating, but they knew they couldn''t console her or make their actions of staring at her noticeable otherwise, Jia Li may try harder to lock her emotions up.


    From sniffing to muffled crying, and then to wails. Jia Li cried her heart out.


    Her tears signified her pains, grief, suffering, anguish, anger, frustration, and all the negative feelings and emotions she buckled up.


    Seeing her tears, none of them could eat their food anymore.


    Fu Hua didn''t know why he felt ufortable and pained from watching Jia Li cry her heart out.


    He didn''t know why he couldn''t bear watching her be in pain, and that ufortable feeling in his chest was still there.


    Being led by his heart, Fu Hua stood up from his seat and walked to Jia Li''s side.


    He lifted her head and ced it on his side and said to her while patting her back.


    "Jia Li, it''s okay to cry, you can depend on me and grandfather, we are here for you."


    Jia Li didn''t know if it was thefort of his embrace or the sincerity in his words that caused her to surrender totally to her emotions.


    Jia Li cried like never before. She had her palms over her face, while her forehead leaned on Fu Hua''s side.


    She cried until she had no strength to cry. She cried until she fainted.


    They noticed she had stopped crying, and so Fu Hua decided to check on her. He only made a small movement when the hands that were covering her face, fell to the side.


    "Is she okay?" Butler Lu asked.


    "Jia Li!" Grandfather Fu cried out.


    Fu Hua supported her weak body, while the doctor came to their side to check up on her.


    "She fainted. Her body is weak and couldn''t take any stress. Allow her to rest for a while, and give her food to eat when she wakes up." The doctor instructed.


    Fu Hua lifted Jia Li in his arms and carried her to her bedroom. He ced her on the bed and covered her legs with the duvet.


    As he walked out, the servant walked in with a towel to clean Jia Li''s face and hands.


    Fu Hua went back to the dining area to meet the old man.


    "Grandfather, don''t you think it''s a little inappropriate for us to take care of Jia Li, as men?" Fu Hua asked with furrowed brows.


    He felt it would be more convenient for a woman to be taking care of Jia Li, someone who was not just a servant, and of course, Grandfather Fu understood what he said.


    "There''s no way I didn''t think about it. Of all the women in our family, no one is good. They can only show fake love which is disgusting! I''d rather take care of Jia Li myself than invite any of them. I would have asked Juan toe over, but it will be better to leave her there."


    Fu Hua understood his grandfather and didn''t bring up the matter anymore.


    When Jia Li woke up, her eyes were swollen. When she was given food to eat, she managed to eat a little.


    At least now, she was better and was no longer looking lifeless.


    Grandfather Fu allowed her to rest for a while and also to take works, before calling her to his study to talk about the funeral arrangements.


    As for Jia Li''s uncle, he waster brought out of prison to give his statement. At first, he wanted to deny his crimes when he learned his brother-inw and his wife had died because of his lies, but when he was told that the loan sharks had already confessed to their crimes and gave the evidence that he deliberately wrote the wrong address, he confessed to his crimes.


    Actually, whether he confessed to his crime or not, his fate had already been sealed.


    After confessing to his crimes, he knew the gravity of the situation he was in and requested to see his wife.


    The police officer he made a request to, stopped in his tracks and threw a nce at him.


    "You really have the nerve to still make requests after everything you have done? You should be thanking God that you were not sentenced to death right away."


    Then the policeman went ahead to break the news to him that he wasn''t allowed to receive visitors, be it his family or friends.


    "Did Jia Li give that order? I know I made some mistakes, but please allow me to see her and apologize." The man pleaded with the policeman.


    "If you know the gravity of your crimes, you won''t make any requests. Because of you, two innocent souls were lost. You made a young girl an orphan, and now you want to apologize to her? Let me give you a reply on her behalf, she doesn''t need it."


    After speaking to him, he turned to the two policemen that were holding unto the man''s hands.


    "Throw him into the same cell as his loan shark friends, so he can have an early taste of what a life lesson feels like!"


    The man kept pleading for mercy when he learned he was going to be thrown in the same cell as the loan sharks, he began to panic and plead with them.


    He already knew what was going to happen to him there, after all, he was the one that got them into that mess.


    No matter how he pleaded, he was still thrown inside the same cell as the loan sharks and he became food for them.


    When the loan sharks saw who was being thrown inside the same cell as them, rage clouded their mind and 5 senses.


    The man saw some familiar faces and noticed the rage in their eyes, and he shuddered and swallowed hard.


    Immediately the policemen locked the cell and left, the loan sharks surrounded him. They cursed him as they beat him up.


    Only the cries of a grown-up man could be heard in the whole area.

 Chapter 78 - Jia Lis Aunt Pays A Visit

    <h4>Chapter 78 - Jia Li''s Aunt Pays A Visit</h4>


    It took not more than 24 hours for Jia Li''s house to be fixed, and the next day after it was fixed, she moved in with the servant and Old Mr. Fu who didn''t feel at ease with leaving her out of his sight.


    As for the rest, they woulde over in the morning and go back to the vi in the evening of every day.


    Jia Li''s house was decorated with white linings as a sign of mourning.


    For security, there were soldiers standing guard outside the house and in the neighborhood.


    ording to the arrangements, Fu Hua helped Jia Li to send out letters to her parents work ce, announcing the death and funeral date for them.


    For the four days set out to mourn Mr. and Mrs. Qin, people visited from their workce, around the neighborhood, and friends as well.


    Jia Li''s friends and coursemates were not an exception.? After DanDan learned of the demise of Jia Li''s parents, she helped her to inform her circle of friends and also to organize them to pay a confidence visit.


    The day Jia Li''s friends visited, they spent a longer time than the others. They also contributed something to help with the Funeral.


    Jia Li wanted to refuse them, but DanDan passed the envelope to her, saying it was the least they could do to offer theirst respect to her parents.


    The others echoed the same words in agreement.


    Hearing them put the words that way, Jia Li couldn''t refuse them.


    On the second to thest day of the condolence visit, somebody came. It was Li Huang.


    He came to visit with his mother.


    The other time after speaking with his mother, he called Jia Li but didn''t know what to say to her.


    Feeling that she would be grieved, he kept their conversation short. He consoled her and spoke some words of encouragement. Thenstly, he said he would be back to see her.


    Although there had been some little developments between them, still, they were not too close for him to be asking her questions.


    Questions like the rtionship she had with the people that were helping her. Even if he was curious, he had to swallow the curiosity as it was not the right time to ask those questions.


    Because of Grandfather Fu''s presence, Li Huang and his mother did not stay long.


    Before leaving, Mrs. Li said to Jia Li, "Jia Li in the future if you need anything, don''t hesitate toe to me or Li Huang, after all, you two have known each other for a long time."


    "Thank you, Aunty." Jia Li said as she managed a smile.


    She had other things to think about than to hear the ambiguous meaning in Mrs. Li''s words.


    Mrs. Li could sense the people behind Jia Li were not simple and one to joke with. She felt that if she didn''t remind Jia Li that she could ask for their help, thetter would totally rely on her backers and forget they were still existing.


    And if Jia Li forgets about them, how was her son going to get close to her and marry her after that?


    So Mrs. Li felt it was right to chip in those words, but unfortunately, Jia Li did not get the hidden meaning of her words, but instead, it was Old Mr. Fu that understood it.


    He furrowed his brows when he heard that simple yet ambiguous words. He didn''t see Mrs. Li as a threat to the ns he had, but it would be best if he removed any form of barrier.


    Right there, Grandfather Fu began to plot how to convince Jia Li to leave with him after the funeral.


    He already had in mind to get his grandson to marry her long before this incident happened. And even if the situation was not good right now, that didn''t mean he would abort his ns.


    The next day, which was thest day of condolences visit, an unexpected visitor came. She was Jia Li''s Aunt and a sister to Jia Li''ste father, Mu Keer.


    When Mu Keer arrived, there were tears in her eyes and she was holding unto the hands of her young teenage children.


    Tears and snorts could be seen on their faces.


    "Jia Li, please forgive your uncle, he didn''t do it on purpose. Please forgive him and release him for the prison, he is suffering and they wouldn''t let me see him." Mu Keer pleaded with Jia Li as she knelt in front of her.


    "Aunty, please get up, I dare not ept an elder kneeling before me!" Jia Li said as she moved away.


    Seeing that Jia Li was annoyed, Mu Keer stood to her feet with her children.


    "Jia Li, I know what your uncle did was an abominable act, but please forgive him. See, your cousins are so young and he is the breadwinner. Our world will crumble without him!" Mu Keer said as she cried out.


    "What about me?" Jia Li asked as she slowly looked up at her selfish Aunty.


    "What?" The woman asked in confusion, as she didn''t understand what Jia Li meant.


    "I said what about me? Are you only thinking about your children, What about me that have nobody by my side? The first thing you did when you heard this ugly news, was to go and find your husband and the only reason you came to me was because they wouldn''t let you see him. Aunty, let me ask you a question, have you for one day, taken my father as your elder brother?"


    "Jia Li what are you saying? Of course, I care about my brother! I was only pleading because of my children. Look, they have been crying all day." Mu Keer said in a panicked tone.


    "Good, since you care about the kinship, then you must be here to pay a condolence visit. I will forget your irrational acts when you stepped foot into this house." Jia Li said to her.


    Hearing Jia Li close the case like that, Mu Keer was dumbfounded, but she knew better than to bring up the topic again, at least for now.


    She was surprised that Jia Li who she hasn''t seen in a long time, had grown up so much and was so bold as to confront her, Mu Keer felt a headacheing.


    ''Did she grow up overnight because of the death of her parents?.'' Mu Keer thought as she couldn''t help reflecting on Jia Li''s words and countenance a few minutes ago.


    Mu Keer looked around the house and felt the situation and interior were a lot better than the ce she was staying with her family.


    Since her brother and his wife were dead, it would be easy for her to take over the house, after all, they shared the same blood.


    Jia Li sneered as she watched her Aunt look around the house.


    When Mu Keer came in contact with Grandfather Fu who hadn''t said a word, she assessed him and could guess he was very rich even though she didn''t know his identity and the rtionship he had with Jia Li.


    In fact, when Mu Keer came close to the house and saw the soldiers standing guard outside, she knew that Jia Li had a rich backer and she couldn''t wait to rip off some benefits from her.


    Mu Keer couldn''t help asking questions that had nothing to do with condolence visit.


    Jia Li was annoyed with her, but she didn''t drive her away and she didn''t answer her questions as well.


    Mu Keer talked until her mouth began to hurt, but still, she couldn''t get any reasonable response from her.


    How could Grandfather Fu who was sitting at the side not tell her intentions? Of course, he did and he was very angry with the kind of person Jia Li had as a rtive.


    He didn''t intervene with the issue because he saw that Jia Li could handle the matter smoothly.


    Butler Lu who was standing at the side, couldn''t wait to throw the woman out of the house.


    When Jia Li saw that the time had clocked 5:00 PM, she notified her Aunt that it was toote, and it was time for her to leave.


    Mu Keer smiled and said to her, "Jia Li, we are families, and I wouldn''t mind staying over with my children to help you with the funeral arrangements."


    "Aunty, thank you, but I don''t need your help. All the arrangements that need to be made, have been made. Please, it''ste already and my cousins need to rest their heads." Jia Li said in an irrefutable tone.


    Mu Keer peered at Grandfather Fu and Butler Lu who was standing at the side.


    She didn''t want to be embarrassed before them, so she smiled and got up from the sofa reluctantly.


    She didn''t forget to say a few words before leaving.


    "Jia Li, don''t forget to ask for my help. I am the only family you have, so we need to rely on each other. It would be wrong if you handle everything by yourself when I''m here."


    "Aunty, you don''t need to worry because nobody will use you of anything. After all, they know your predicament." Jia Li replied.


    Before Mu Keer could retort, Butler Lu who couldn''t tolerate her anymore, appeared before her and showed her the way.


    Mu Keer could only shut up and leave with her children.

 Chapter 79 - Jia Li Agrees To Go Back With Grandfather Fu

    <h4>Chapter 79 - Jia Li Agrees To Go Back With Grandfather Fu</h4>


    Two dayster, it was the day for Jia Li to finally send her parents off. Jia Li cried her heart out as she performed the rites to her parents as their daughter.


    After sending thest guests off, Jia Li felt a little faint and was about to fall when a strong pair of arms enveloped her and sent her to a warm embrace.


    Jia Li felt her face hit the rocked hard chest and her nose, perceive the familiar scent that has been around hertely.


    With a hand ced on his chest, she tried to nce at the cold face, but her face was pressed down immediately before she could take a look.


    "Save your strength!." Fu Hua said in an authoritative tone as he frowned.


    Jia Li instinctively stopped moving when she heard the tone of his voice. She rxed a bit and inhaled the scent of the man.


    Within a minute of being in his embrace, Jia Li felt drowsy and her eyes began to close, and slowly, she fell into a deep sleep.


    Fu Hua who heard the girl''s slow breathing, frowned as he lowered his head to take a look at her.


    With his hand still pressed on the side of her head, and with the other one on the side, Jia Li sighed.


    He had just rxed when he heard the sounds of footsteps, so he slowly turned around with Jia Li in his arms.


    Fu YingPei who came over was surprised at the sight. When he came over yesterday, he had noticed his brother was closer to Jia Li, unlike the first time they met.


    He didn''t think much about it and thought they were a bit close because of the situation, because knowing his brother, he wasn''t one to get close to the opposite sex.


    Now seeing them together like this, he was more than surprised, and he was about to speak when Fu Hua gave him a warning sign.


    Fu YingPei shut his mouth that had opened. He had a grudge in his heart and still wanted to protest, but the next second, he saw his brother lift Jia Li in his arms.


    It was when he saw Jia Li''s tightly shut her eyes that he knew she was fast asleep. This was more surprising than he thought before.


    ''How could she fall asleep like that?'' YingPei thought.


    Fu Hua carried Jia Li in his arms and walked towards the living room with YingPei behind him.


    Grandfather Fu and Fu Juan were in the living room with some other people when Fu Hua walked past them with Jia Li in his arms.


    They were surprised and wanted to ask, but YingPei smiled and exined the situation to them.


    "She is fine, she just fell asleep."


    It only then did Grandfather Fu and the others retract their gaze.


    Fu Juan sighed with pity in her heart. Just like Grandfather Fu, she had begun to like Jia Li since the first day she met her.


    Li Huang and His mother were thest guests that left after Jia Li''s Aunt left with her children. T


    Today, she didn''t dare to make a fuss or cause embarrassment because she was saving her face and trying to portray to be a good Aunt in other for her ns to be sessful.


    Also, she was scared of being thrown out by the soldiers standing guard in the house.


    As for Li Huang and his mother, they couldn''t stay long as they were ufortable with the Fu''s presence.


    There was a strong aura and a kind of presence they had, a kind of presence who was not to be trifled with.


    Mrs. Li understood that this was a mourning period for Jia Li, so there was no point rushing anything, after all, she was still around.


    Jia Li who fell into a deep sleep, slept till the sky had darkened.


    She felt famished when she got out of bed, and luckily, the food had already been served.


    There was only Grandfather Fu at the dining area, and then, her servant as well. The others had gone back to the Vi.


    During dinner, Grandfather Fu was all smiles and kept putting food on Jia Li''s te.


    "Eat this, it will help to replenish your strength"


    Jia Li ate most of the side dishes he put on her te. She didn''t make a fuss, and she didn''t say a word and only concentrate on eating.


    Two dayster, Grandfather Fu brings up the n about taking Jia Li with him. Apart from Butler Lu, nobody was aware of his ns, including Fu Hua.


    At first, when he brought it up to Jia Li, thetter refused tantly. She gave so many reasons why she didn''t want to leave with him, and thest one she gave, made the old man sad.


    "Grandfather, you have done more than enough for me, and I don''t want to be a burden to you."


    Grandfather Fu said a few words that touched Jia Li''s heart.


    "Jia Li, don''t ever feel like you are a burden to me. Since fate has brought us together, let''s go with the flow. This old man will take good care of you. You don''t have anybody to rely on, and it will not be good for a youngdy to be all alone I jus type of environment. Follow me to get away from your grief. You are like a granddaughter to me, and I have more than enough resources to take care of you. This of man promises that you will never be short-changed."


    Grandfather Fu said a bit more with a lonely expression on his face. He was inviting pity from Jia Li, even if his words were enough.


    Sure enough, Jia Li said she would think about it and would give him a reply soon.


    Since it was just Grandfather Fu and Butler Lu that were around, the house did not feel crowded like before.


    A day ago, Grandfather allowed Fu Hua to go back home. He felt that he had made a lot of sacrifices these days since he left hispany behind for his sake.


    These days, Feng Alix has been calling him on the phone. Even after he told her he was currently running an errand for his grandfather, she kept disturbing him with calls and texts.


    Feng Alix didn''t like the fact that her boyfriend traveled and didn''t tell her anything about it, and now, she has to be the one calling every day.


    The worst part was that he snapped at her thest time she called.


    Fu Hua was annoyed with her because of the calls and texts from her. He was already very busy with settling work matters over the phone plus the important role he yed over here.


    Fu Hua couldn''t tolerate her disturbance anymore, so he snapped at her.


    A dayter, Jia Li was forced to give Grandfather Fu a response, because the old man kept receiving important calls which need attention.


    She knew the reason he was still with her, was because he was still waiting for her response. She felt bad for stressing the old man and decided to give him a response soon.


    Jia Li agreed to go to the Capital with Grandfather Fu.


    As for her worries, Grandfather Fu said it was a piece of cake and that he would settle it.


    "Jia Li you don''t need to worry about your house, nobody will take over it. I will get somebody to keep an eye on it, so you don''t have to worry about people like your Aunt doing anything."


    "As for your school, I will arrange to have you transferred to the best Fashion and Designing school in the capital."


    "Jia Li, don''t worry about anything. As for the other matters, I will take care of it" Grandfather Fu promised.


    Just as he promised, it was a matter of one phone call for Grandfather Fu to settle Jia Li''s matter.


    He settled the housing issue and started processing the transfer letter to the new college he picked for her.


    In Jia Li''s presence, Grandfather Fu settled some matters with Mr. Qin''swyer. Everything her parents owned, was now in her name.


    It was surprising to others that Mr. Qin had awyer, despite not being wealthy. But this was a good n, at least nobody will try to snatch what does not belong to them.


    When all these matters were settled, it was time for Jia Li to leave with Grandfather Fu.


    Jia Li tidied up a little and before going to her parent''s bedroom. She picked some important things there, like their handphones photo album, picture frames, etc


    When she opened the drawer, her eyes caught the gold pendant that was resting there. (The people contracted to clean up the house after it was fixed, found the pendant under the bed where Mrs. Qin hid it and put it inside the drawer)


    She took it out and nced at it, before deciding to take it with her.


    She remembered seeing her mother on rare asions with the pendant, so she knew it belongs to her.

 Chapter 80 - Do I Answer To You Now?

    <h4>Chapter 80 - Do I Answer To You Now?</h4>


    When the car was about to drive off, Mrs. Li saw the car and waved at it. She didn''t know why she gged the car. But when she saw Jia Li was in the car, she felt grateful that she didn''t miss the opportunity.


    The car window was rolled down, so Mrs. Li was able to see Jia Li properly.


    "Aunty, are youing to see me?" Jia Li asked after she greeted her.


    "Yes. I came to visit you, but it looks like I came at the wrong time." Mrs. Li replied as she peered inside the car.


    Seeing the old man, she quickly looked away.


    "Aunty, I''m leaving for another city for a while, so we can''t talk now." Jia replied.


    "It''s okay. It''s good to go away for some time. You need to remove the negative feelings." Mrs. Li said with a smile.


    Jia Li smiled back at her.


    "Alright, I won''t keep you waiting." Mrs. Li said as she waved her hand.


    "Bye." Jia Li said as she waved back before the car window rolled up.


    As the car zoomed off, Mrs. Li nced at the tightly shut doors of the Qin''s house and sighed to herself, then she walked back to her house.


    Grandfather Fu sighed in relief. How could he not tell the intentions of Mrs. Li?


    Even on the day of her visit with Li Huang, he could tell that the young man liked her. And he knew if he didn''t convince Jia Li toe along with him, the rtionship between her and the Li''s will grow.


    And if that happens, Jia Li will be a little distant from him, then how would he get her to marry his grandson?


    Jia Li felt better as she nced at her surroundings. Seeing the buildings, the people, and everything else she saw on her journey, she felt at peace.


    When they approached the Fu Vi, Jia Li sighed as she thought about how she would be living in this ce from now onwards.


    Atst, when Jia Li got out of the car, Grandfather smiled at her as he said, "Jia Li, wee to the Fu Family."


    Jia Li managed a smile as she replied, "Thank you, Grandfather!"


    "Come, let''s go in!" Grandfather Fu said to her as he raised his hand towards her. Jia Li took his hand and walked into the house with him, while the butler and her servant, followed behind with their suitcases.


    When they stepped into the house, Fu Hee was already making her way towards them.


    With a smile, she greeted Grandfather Fu before turning to Jia Li to say with a smile, "Jia Li, please ept my condolences. I was not able to make it to the funeral because I had to manage the household."


    "There is no problem, Aunty, I understand." Jia Li replied politely.


    "Fu Hee, let here in as rest." Grandfather Fu''s said with a slight frown. Fu Hee nodded and allowed Jia Li to pass.


    "Where is everybody?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    "Everybody is home except Fu Hua and Fu Wei." Fu Hee replied.


    Turning to Jia Li, Grandfather Fu said, "Jia Li, go to your room and rest. When it''s time for dinner, someone will call you."


    "Okay, grandfather." Jia Li said and left after giving a slight nod.


    "Fu Hee, did you not tell everybody that I will be back today?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    "I did. Everybody knows you will be back. I also told them you will being back with Jia Li." Fu Hee replied.


    "Good. Since no one wants to wee this old man, I will go up by myself." Grandfather Fu said as he started to walk away.


    "Grandfather, who says no one wants to wee you, am I not here?" YingPei said with a carefree smile as he walked towards the old man with spread-out hands.


    "Move away from my sight!" Grandfather Fu said to him with a stubborn frown.


    Who was YingPei? He is the shameless one of the Fu Family.


    Fu YingPei refused to leave and instead walked side by side with him.


    "Grandfather, let me escort you to your room." He insisted.


    "Am I a child?" Grandfather Fu asked with a frown.


    "You are not but you are my elder." Fu YingPei said with a smile as he followed the old man to his bedroom.


    Grandfather Fu was obviously enjoying the fact that he was being fawned at, by his grandson, so he didn''t insist on pushing him away.


    Fu Hee smiled from the side. She knew the others would be in trouble for noting out to greet the man when he returned after 12 days.


    Someone like Fu ChunHua who had nothing doing would get into trouble because she didn''t show her respect and she couldn''t wait to gloat on her.


    When it was time for dinner, Fu Hua finally came back home with his father. He went to work andter both of them met somewhere to settle some work together.


    When Jia Li came over for dinner, everyone gave her a warm response. They were not surprised to see her back to the house because the old man already informed them he would being back with her.


    But the next news they heard, shocked all of them.


    After dinner, it was normal for them to talk about one or two matters.


    So, Grandfather Fu called the attention of everybody and he said to them in a clear tone as he nced at each one of them.


    "From today onwards, Jia Li is a part of the Fu Family and she will be staying with us!"


    Grandfather Fu spoke with an unreputable tone. This announcement shocked every member of the family, including Fu Hua.


    He was with the old man for several days but he didn''t mention anything like that.


    ''Did he purposely hide this from me, or did he just make the decision?'' Fu Hua thought.


    Although the reaction caused the family to be shocked, they still tried to mask their surprised gazed and gasps of shocks.


    Grandfather Fu felt better with their reactions. If they had done something out of point and cause Jia Li to be embarrassed or feel wronged, he would have dealt with all of them.


    "Jia Li, this is your home now, and we are one family. Feel free to make your demands, nobody will say anything to you." Grandfather Fu said to Jia Li.


    Jia Li managed a smile as she nodded with her head bowed. She was a little bit tense, as she was worried about the reaction of the rest of the family members would be.


    Fu Hee was the first person to break the silence. She smiled and was weing just like the matriarch of the family would do.


    She weed Jia Li to the Fu Family with a smile, followed by Fu Juan and then the rest.


    As for Fu Hua, he did not say a word. He was also the first person to leave the dining area.


    Jia Li noticed that he had only nced at her once and that was when he stepped in and saw her sitting there.


    She also noticed that he didn''t wee her as the others did.


    ''Does he hate me foring to stay?'' She asked herself with a frown. As she couldn''t fathom the thoughts of Fu Hua, she was a little ufortable.


    This was the same man that allowed her to feelfortable in his embrace the few times she needed someone''sfort.


    But what was this attitude he was showing her?


    Did he do all that because I was not mentally stable, so he tried tofort me?


    As all of these thoughts were going through Jia Li''s mind, Fu Hua took the stairs to his room, and when he stepped in, he took his phone out from his pocket and nced at the caller ID.


    Just now at the dining table, he felt his phone vibrate on his body and because he knew who was calling, he had to leave the dining area to answer the call.


    "Fu Hua, what took you so long to answer the call, you have been avoiding me since you came back, did I do something wrong?" Feng Alix asked worriedly.


    "You did nothing wrong to me, I have been busy with work. Just now, I was at the dining area. The others were there, so I have toe to my room to answer your call." Fu Hua exined as he pinched the space between his brows.


    "Fu Hua, don''t get me wrong, but I feel like there is a wall between us. Where did your grandfather send you? You abandoned me and didn''t tell me anything until now. At a time, you were declining my calls!"


    "Do I answer to you now? Since when do I have to report my movements to you? In this rtionship, you were the one that said we should keep it from everybody, and that is the reason no one in my family and circle knows you are my girlfriend! So, what''s your problem now?"

 Chapter 81 - How Grandfather Fu Got Over His Grief

    <h4>Chapter 81 - How Grandfather Fu Got Over His Grief</h4>


    Fu Hua ended the call on a bad note. In the end, Feng Alix was surprised by his outburst of anger.


    This was definitely not her boyfriend!


    Even though Fu Hua sometimes acted cold towards her, at least he hasn''t ever fired back this way and this took Feng Alix by surprise.


    She felt that Fu Hua has changed a lot. But what could be the cause of the change?


    Late at night, Jia Li remembered she didn''t tell her friends that she has left the town, so she opened her WhatsApp to send a message to them, especially to DanDan.


    It was the first time in days that Jia Li was opening her social media App. Thest time she did that was the morning of the day her parents died, so that means that she hasn''t seen her mother''sst message to her.


    As Jia Li opened her WhatsApp, countless messages kept flowing into her phone from several days ago.


    She felt dizzy looking at it, so she looked away and allowed her phone to continue buzzing. Because of the fast inte speed, Jia Li picked up her phone a minuteter.


    She saw so many notifications on her phone, as not all of them were from WhatsApp.


    There were more than 1000+ messages on her WhatsApp. Jia Li didn''t have a lot of friends, but she was in some WhatsApp groups that were active, hence the number of messages.


    Jia Li didn''t have time to go through all of them at the moment, so she directly searched for ''Frendzy Group''.


    There were some messages from her friend, so she replied to the ones that were directed to her before going ahead to make the announcement she had in mind and after that, she was about to leave the group when her fingers mistakenly scrolled down the screen of her phone.


    Immediately, Jia Li''s attention was caught. She saw a message from her mother and she felt teary. She caught a glimpse of the date of the message and her sight clouded with tears.


    Her fingers were shaky before she managed to click the message open.


    She saw that it was a video.


    ''Mum, we''re you trying to tell me something?.'' Jia Li asked herself as she clicked on the video to download it.


    Without hesitation, she clicked on the video and watched it. It was a 2 mins video.


    As Jia Li watched the video, tears streamed down her eyes. She could see her mother''s smiling face, and then her panicked face when she heard the noise from outside the room.


    She saw her mother talk in a hurry before she ended the video recorder.


    Jia Li knew the hooligans were approaching, so her mother had to end the call. Jia Li didn''t need anyone to tell her what happened next.


    Jia Li turned off her phone and cried till she became very weak. And when she woke up the next morning, her eyes were swollen again with dark circles around them.


    She hasn''t had a good sleep for a long time.


    Five dayster, Grandfather Fu invited Jia Li to his study to talk about her enrollment into college.


    "Jia Li, here is your college eptance letter. It has been with me for three days now. I didn''t want to disturb you because though you wouldn''t be in the mood for school. But it''s time to move on with your life. Tell me when you''re ready to start school, as I will assist you with the college procedures."


    Jia Li took the envelope from the old man and opened it. She took out her new college eptance letter and nced at the words body written, then she proceeded the read the body of the letter.


    Jia Li smiled and nced at the old man with a grateful smile and thanked him.


    "Thank you, grandfather. I''m so grateful!"


    "No need to thank me, this is one of the little things I could help you with. These days, have you been able to get your spirit back?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    The smile on Jia Li''s face slowly faded.


    "Grandfather to tell you the truth, my spirit is a little down and it''s hard toe knowing I can''t see my parents forever." Jia Li said with her gaze on her fingers.


    Grandfather Fu sighed and said to her, "Take a walk with me in the garden."


    Jia Li followed the old man to the back of the house, and it was her first time being there. She saw beautiful flowers and a strawberry ???? garden.


    She didn''t know why the old man took her there, so she thought it was just to ease her mind. She only found out the reason when he began to talk.


    "I lost my wife when Fu Hua was still young. He was about 12 years when she got ill. Even with the money and connections I had, I still couldn''t save her."


    "My wife was the most gentle and kind person I have ever met and you share some resemnce to her character in her young days. Her personality changed when she went into business, but still, I loved her the most. Her name was Fu Ju, and she created FJ Styles back then."


    ''It turned out that the FJ in FJ Styles was the initials for her name'' Jia Li thought.


    Grandfather Fu took Jia Li as they walked into the strawberry ???? garden.


    "She didn''t like strawberries but she still ate them and even went ahead to nt them. I asked her why she nted and ate the fruits she didn''t like and her answer was funny." Grandfather Fu said as he smiled brightly.


    "Grandfather, what was her response?" Jia Li asked earnestly.


    "She said Strawberries were beautiful, so she nted them and even ate them even though she hated sour foods." Grandfather Fu replied.


    Jia Li nodded in wonder and allowed the old man to continue with his story.


    "Fu Ju was the person I loved the most in this world and when I lost her, I felt a part of me was gone. The only thing that kept me, were her words. She asked me to live a good life and take care of the things we raised together. Do you know, I helped her to nt these flowers and the strawberries. We raised Fu Hua together and when she left, I continued to raise Fu Hua alone. Before she left, she passed thepany to Fu Hua but asked me to look over it till Fu Hua matures and can handle it."


    Jia Li could tell the Old man loved histe wife dearly and she didn''t know how to console him. She knew he must have had a hard time getting over her death.


    "Getting over Fu Ju''s death wasn''t easy for me, but it was something I had to do. I had to distract myself with work so I wouldn''t be depressed. While taking care of the things she left behind, I learned to recover from my grief. While watering the flowers, I liked to talk to her. Jia Li, it is not easy recovering from grief, but you have to do that. I''m sure your parents would want you to live a good life. They had great hope on you and you still need to make them proud."


    Grandfather Fu talked to Jia Li for a while as they took a stroll in the strawberry garden. Jia Li felt better as she nced at the bright red strawberries.


    Two hourster after Jia Li and the old man talked in the garden, they returned to the house.


    "Grandfather can I take a stroll in the garden on my own?." Jia Li asked. She was unsure if she could do that without asking for permission. After all, that was the garden Late Mrs. Fu created and it held a lot of memories for the old man.


    "Of course, you can. We can harvest the riped strawberries in two days." Grandfather Fu said with a smile.


    Two dayster, Jia Li and Grandfather Fu went to the garden to harvest the ripped strawberries in the morning before breakfast.


    Jia Li didn''t know how to take care of nts, so she watched as the old man taught her before she joined him.


    At the end of the section, Jia Li and the old man harvested a basket full of strawberries. When they were done, four servants came over to divide the strawberries into kitchen containers and carried them inside the house.


    Jia Li and the old man went to freshen up before going to have their breakfast. They were the only ones at the dining table.


    Earlier, the old man had already permitted them to eat without him.


    After breakfast, Jia Li went into her room. She was eating strawberries while going through her sketches when she paused.


    Her eyes went to the eptance letter of her new college, and she picked it up. She nced at the contents again and mulled over it.


    Right there, she made a decision. She decided to resume school the next week.


    She went to find the old man and Butler Lu took her to the study.


    When she broke the good news to the Old Man, he smiled and even hugged her. He kept praising her for taking the rugby decision.


    "I have to thank you grandfather, for showing me the right way to get better!" Jia Li said to the old man with a grateful smile when he kept praising her.

 Chapter 82 - Your Grandfather Dotes On That Girl Too Much!

    <h4>Chapter 82 - Your Grandfather Dotes On That Girl Too Much!</h4>


    That same day, Old Mr. Fu made some calls to the Empire college of Fashion and Designing to get things ready, as he would be sending Jia Li to the college to process her eptance and settle a few formalities that were required before she could start sses.


    After making the call, he rxed and smiled to himself as his ns were going smoothly.


    The next day after breakfast, Grandfather Fu followed Jia Li to her new college to get things settled.


    Jia Li was surprised to learn he was going to follow her because from the beginning, he didn''t mention atheing like that.


    Other than being surprised, Jia Li was grateful. But she was also nervous because this was her first time enrolling in such a prominent and prestigious school.


    "Jia Li don''t be nervous. We are just going to finish the entry processes." Grandfather Fu said to her.


    Jia Li smiled as she nced at him. Deep in her mind, she was wondering if the Old Man really went to the army, because he was too kind to her.


    But a few times she has seen him exert his authority in the family had made her know he really went to the army.


    When Fu ChunHua learned that Jia Li was going to such a renowned school, she frowned and dragged her husband back to the room when he was about to leave for work.


    "You say, why would your father act that way? How can he send a stranger to such a distinguished school and it costs a lot! Even if he wants to help her, he should have gone to other colleges, why that one?" Fu ChunHua asked with a tight frown on her face.


    "ChunHua, is that why you dragged me into the room? Is your problem with the fact that Jia Li is going to a reputable school, or the fact she enrolled in an expensive school?" Fu Geming asked.


    "Geming, this is a very important matter! My problem is with the two. Grandfather bringing her back here wasn''t enough, and he had to go ahead to treat her specially, more than the children of this family!"


    This was ChunHua''s anger. Her children have never been treated this way and she was angry at the thought that a none family member could enjoy all the glory.


    "ChunHua, if you want to live in this house these few days peacefully, you better control your mouth and actions otherwise if Father learns your dislike for that girl, then don''t bothering back to this house to stay!" Fu Geming said to her and turned to walk away.


    After thinking for a while, Fu ChunHua frowned and said in an annoyed tone.


    "No, I can''t let this go! I must find a way to make our family remain in this house, otherwise, another person will rip all the benefits!"


    How can Fu ChunHua stand the fact that Jia Li was enjoying more benefits than her daughter? She wasn''t unreasonable, as this sthe situation was bound to cause problems.


    That evening, as everybody hade home, Grandfather Fu called Fu YingPei to his study. He didn''t talk long before he released him.


    Immediately he walked into the sitting room, his mother who has been waiting for him, called him over.


    "What did your grandfather say to you?" She asked in a curious tone.


    "Nothing much. He only asked me to help Jia Li get a few things she would be needing for her sses." YingPei replied.


    Fu Hee sighed as she said, "Your grandfather does on that girl too much!"


    "Mum, I have some unfinished work left, so I''m leaving," YingPei said as walked away.


    He knew if he didn''t leave, his mother would start pouring all her grievances on him.


    "Eh! When did you start having leftover works like your brother?" Fu Hee asked, her voice echoing.


    Fu YingPei turned back to say before walking away hurriedly.


    "Brother is not the only one allowed to work hard."


    Fu Hee sighed to herself and wondered what was wrong with her sons. None of them wanted to be with her and that makes her feel lonely.


    At this point, she was missing her daughter! Thinking of her daughter, Fu Hee decided to phone her.


    This weekend, Fu YingPei had to carry out the assignment given to him by his grandfather.


    In his sports car, he drove Jia Li to an art store where she could pick up some necessary things.


    Grandfather Fu already told Jia Li earlier on that YingPei would take her to shop for the things she needed for school, so she was not surprised by this arrangement.


    Seeing how Jia Li was fascinated by his sports car, YingPei smiled and started chatting with her.


    "Miss Qin, do you like my car?" He asked with a smile.


    "Yes. I like the interior!" Jia Li admitted as she looked around the car. She could tell how expensive the car was.


    "Grandfather bought this car for the three of us. Each of his grandsons has this kind of short car but in different colors. As you can see, mine is White. Fu Ling has a blue one and My brother has the red one. But mine is the first to be shipped, because the color was already avable, so the factory had to customize it a bit before shipping it."


    Jia Li nodded with a smile as listens to him talk on and on.


    "Jia Li, do you know you are our lucky star? Our grandfather has never treated the guys so well like this. In fact, he prefers girls over boys, so he treats us so-so. He has never pampered us, so this is the first and it''s because of you." YingPei revealed.


    "Young Master, why do you say I''m the reason?" Jia Li asked in confusion.


    "Don''t call me young master if you want my ears to still be connected to my body." Fu YingPei said to her in a light tone.


    What he meant today was that his grandfather would cut off his ears if he heard her addressing him as such and Jia Li got the message, so she asked...


    "What should I call you?."


    "YingPei." Fu YingPei said smoothly.


    "But you''re older than me." Jia Li pointed out in furrowed brows.


    "Does it matter?" Fu YingPei asked and Jia nodded in response.


    "Then, how do you address young men like me?" Fu YingPei asked with an interesting look on his face.


    "Brother..." Jia Li replied.


    "Brother YingPei?" Fu YingPei tried it out and shook his head frantically. He didn''t like it at all as it made him feel old.


    "Miss Qin, I''m a young person like you, do you really have to make me feel old? Forget it, just call me by my name." Fu YingPei said as he waved his hand.


    Jia Li nced at him before moving her eyes to her sling bag. She took out her list and started going through them to make sure she wasn''t missing any items out.


    When Monday arrived, Grandfather Fu asked Fu Hua to send Jia Li to school since it was her first day.


    Grandfather Fu couldn''t send Jia Li to school, as he had to go to the military camp that morning. And to help these two people get close to each other, he had to bring them together.


    Fu Hua was surprised but didn''t go against him. He was wondering the reason, why Grandpa didn''t ask YingPei to send Jia Li to school and the answer he got, wasn''t bad.


    The old man said Fu YingPei''s car was so eye-catching, and Jia Li didn''t want to be viewed as a wealthy young miss, as she wanted to attend school quietly.


    It turned out the old man felt that Fu Hua''s ck car was more suitable than Fu YingPei''s eye-catching white sports car.


    This was Fu Hua''s wishful thinking...


    Still, Grandfather Fu agreed with Jia Li''s reasoning. The youngdy doesn''t want any rumor to start spreading about her, just on her first day in college.


    When Jia Li learned that Fu Hua would be the one to send her to school, her mouth was agape in shock.


    When she came to the living room after dressing up, Butler Lu smiled at her and told her the car was waiting outside, so she thought a driver would send her to school, only to go outside and see the Cold-faced man standing beside his car and looking at his wristwatch.


    Hearing the footsteps, Fu Hua nced towards Jia Li and saw her standing there in shock.


    ''Why is she staring at me like she saw a ghost?'' Fu Hua thought.


    Jia Li thought we must have been mistaken, so she turned around to get back inside the house when she heard Fu Hua''s voice, devoid of any emotions.


    "Jia Li, you''re not going to school today?" Fu Hua asked the youngdy that was already making her way into the house.


    "I''m going to school." Jia Li stopped in her steps and replied.


    "Get in the car, I will drop you off!" Fu Hua said as he opened his car door and got into his car.


    Jia Li was still trying toprehend the situation when she heard the car door close, she hurried to the car.

 Chapter 83 - Fu Hua Sends Jia Li To Her New College

    <h4>Chapter 83 - Fu Hua Sends Jia Li To Her New College</h4>


    Jia Li was still trying toprehend the situation when she heard the car door close, she hurried to the car and a good on the right side in contemtion.


    She didn''t know if she should get in the back seat or sit in the front passenger seat with him. Fu Hua honked and she immediately turned to open the door to the front passenger seat without thinking twice.


    It would be very wrong for her to sit at the back even though she was scared of Him. He wasn''t her chauffeur, so she directly got into the front seat.


    Fu Hua drove off when she climbed into the car and closed the door.


    "Put on your seatbelt." Fu Hua said without looking her way.


    Jia Li quietly put her seatbelt on and tried to remain invisible until her phone rang.


    Seeing that she wasn''t answering the call, Fu Hua nced at her as she asked, "You''re not going to answer it?."


    "I...I will." Jia Li replied as she fumbled for words.


    She took out her phone to see it was DanDan on the line. She nced at Fu Hua, but his gaze was on the road, so she answered the call.


    Immediately, she heard the lively voice of DanDan from the other side.


    Thetter was a little hyperactive today. Fu Hua could very well hear their conversation.


    It turned out that DanDan called to wish her the best of luck on her first day at her new college.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li responded as she smiled.


    "Is your school far from the Fu House? Do you take a cab or a bus to school?." DanDan asked.


    Jia Li guessed that Fu Hua heard DanDan''s question, and she was in a dilemma and didn''t know how to reply to the second question


    Could she tell her that Grandfather Fu ordered his Cold-faced grandson to send her to school?


    "My school is a little far from the Fu House. DanDan, I will talk to youter, have a great day!." Jia Li said thetter part in an urgent tone and directly ended the call.


    She sighed in relief for getting her off her back, and then, she looked up ahead.


    Fu Hua turned on the music, and Jia Li felt more rxed.


    When they got close to the College gate, Jia Li asked Fu Hua to stop her there.


    "Mr. Fu, I''m fine here." Jia Li said in a rush.


    Fu Hua raised his brows at her, but then slowly parked the car as she requested.


    "Thank you!." Jia Li said to him in a polite tone, as she removed the seatbelt before taking her backpack with her and leaving the car.


    Fu Hua stared at her back for a few seconds before driving off.


    Jia Li didn''t want to bebeled as someone from a formidable background on her first day at her new college, so she asked Fu Hua to stop the car right outside the gate.


    She didn''t want any kind of attention at all, and if possible, till she finishes her program here.


    Jia Li''s first day at her new college was great. Although she was slowly recovering from her grief, she still found all her sses to be interesting.


    Because of her nature to be quiet, much attention was not really on her even though she could still feel the eyes of the other students on her.


    Of course, they have to nce at her asionally when they were less busy, after all, she was a new student.


    Jia Li found the college to be interesting, and at the same time, she found out there was no time to mess around.


    The college aimed to bring out the best in their students, so there were a lot of sses and activities to sharpen one''s skills.


    Jia Li so much liked her new college that she decided to have a little tour when she got some time out.


    She was a new student after all, and it would be good if she knew her environment well enough.


    With her phone in hand, she searched for the direction of the art gallery in the college, as she wanted to pay a visit.


    On her way there, she bumped into someone. Her gaze was on her phone, and the youngdy she bumped into, had her gaze on the heavy textbooks she was carrying, hence, they bumped into each other.


    "I''m sorry!." Jia Li and the girl said almost at the same time because they were both in the wrong.


    Jia Li squatted and helped her to pick up her books.


    "Thank you!." The girl said as she took the book Jia Li passed to her.


    "It''s nothing!." Jia Li said as she waved her hand before watching the girl leave.


    Jia Li looked away and continued on her way to her destination.


    With the way the girl was dressed, Jia Li could tell she had a good dress style.


    ''Could she be in my department?'' Jia Li thought, but shook her head and walked ahead.


    Some minutester, Jia Li found the Art Library or more like an Art gallery.


    As a student, she swiped her student ID on the machine before walking inside.


    She was amazed at the sight. A smile hung at the corner of her lips as she gazed at her surroundings.


    Jia Li paused in her steps and shut her eyes, allowing the artistic spirit to flow in her.


    She has missed this feeling!


    Recovering herself after knowing that other students were around, she started walking towards the beautiful paintings and artistic pictures in front of her.


    ''Grandfather, thank you for this opportunity, I promise to pay you back!'' Jia Li silently promised in her heart.


    She was grateful to the old man for the wonderful opportunity and tform he gave to her. She promised to utilize it to her best.


    Jia Li spent her entire lunchtime at the library and she was almostte for her next ss, but she made it a minute to the time before the professor stepped into the ssroom.


    After sses, Jia Li didn''t know how she would get home until she received the old man''s call. She smiled and hung her backpack before leaving the ssroom.


    "Grandfather!." Jia Li called out in an excited tone.


    A big smile formed on Grandfather Fu''s face when he heard Jia Li''s happy tone.


    "Jia Li, you sound happy. Did you enjoy your sses today?." Grandfather Fu asked.


    "Yes, grandfather, thank you so much, I love this school." Jia Li expressed her thanks immediately.


    "You will have to tell this old man what fun things you encountered today. For now,e to the school gate, I''m waiting for you."


    Hearing he came to pick her up, Jia Li quickened her steps.


    She didn''t know how long he has been waiting for her, and how he knew the right time toe and pick her up, but she still needed to see him to know the answers to those questions.


    Jia Li found the familiar ck car parked outside the college gate. As she walked closer, the chauffeur stepped out of the car and walked to the other side of the back door, and opened it for her.


    Without thinking about her reputation or the attention that she may garner if she is seen stepping into that expensive and bullet-proof car, Jia Li stepped into the car and greeted the old man with a smile.


    Grandfather Fu was happy and his heart and mind felt at ease seeing that Jia Li looked a lot better.


    The two of them chatted all the way to the house.


    Jia Li wasn''t talkative, but the old man gets engaged her in a conversation, and because she felt a little better today, she flowed with the conversation.


    Jia Li found out the old man knew her schedule, and also came right on time, 5 minutes before the professor left the ss.


    Jia Li knew the old man went to handle an important work today, because, since morning, he hadn''t returned to the house.


    Together, they made it home. They both freshened up and went to the dining to eat the lunch that was specially prepared for them.


    Jia Li is to her satisfaction, and the Old man smiled from ear to ear.


    When Fu Meixu came in and saw this scene, jealousy burned in her heart.


    This was her grandfather, but he had a good rtionship with an outsider than her.


    Although she has never been the old man''s favorite, as someone else already had that ranked in his heart. But when the person traveled out to study, she really couldn''t take over since she didn''t live in the Fu Mansion.


    Putting on a genuine smile, she walked towards them.


    She didn''t dare to fake her smile, because the old man could tell one''s intention by merely ncing at the person.


    Knowing that smiling at Jia Li will make the old man discover her jealousy, she changed her tactics and decided to give him a fawning smile and called out to him...

 Chapter 84 - Grandfather Fus Meticulous Plan

    <h4>Chapter 84 - Grandfather Fu''s Meticulous n</h4>


    After greeting the old man, she turned to Jia Li to greet her. Now, she was genuinely happy because the old man responded to her greeting.


    Jia Li responds to her greeting and continued eating while replying to her questions about school.


    "Meixu tell your mother I want to see her in my study before dinner." Grandfather Fu said.


    Meixu was a little bit tensed at the reason the old man wanted to see her mother.


    Before dinner, Fu ChunHua went to the old man''s study to see him. She was a bit nervous as she didn''t know what he wanted to talk about.


    But deep down in her heart, she was hoping the old man wasn''t going to as them to leave since he hasn''t mentioned anything about it.


    Sitting in front of the Old man without any hint of expression on his face, Fu ChunHua managed a smile as she said, "Father, you asked for me."


    Looking up at her, Grandfather Fu stared at her for a few seconds before slowly speaking up.


    "If you want to live herefortably, treat Jia Li well."


    Fu ChunHua thought she didn''t hear her well, so she was in a daze with her gaze on the old man.


    ''Wait, the old man wasn''t asking us to leave?''


    ''He wasn''t going to admonish me?''


    "He''s asking that I treat Jia Li well if I want to live here?''


    As different thoughts were going through Fu ChunHua''s attention was called back.


    "You can leave." Grandfather Fu said to her.


    Because of his ns, the old man wanted Jia Li to have enough support, even if it may not be genuine, but at least, it wouldn''t harm her.


    Since he wanted Jia Li and Fu Hua to get married, he knew Fu Hee would be strongly against it, and Fu Hua will not like that idea.


    And since Fu ChunHua and Fu Hee were at odds with each other, he would need the former to be standing at Jia Li''s side.


    He was seriously making future preparations for Jia Li and Fu Hua''s marriage.


    As if having gotten the hidden message, Fu ChunHua smiled and thanked the old man before leaving.


    As long as she treated Jia Li, well, not only could she leave here, but she could do so,fortably.


    Why wouldn''t she treat Jia Li well since she had nothing to lose?


    She doesn''t know the old man''s ns, but she knew she wouldn''t be short-changed as long as she listened to him.


    Fu ChunHua couldn''t wait to break this news to Fu Hee, because thetter has been taunting her and couldn''t wait for her to leave the house.


    Grandfather rxed his back on the chair and said to the Butler who has been standing in the room.


    "I think I have done a good job here."


    "Yes, Sir. Now Miss Qin wouldn''t be attacked in the future from both sides of the family." The Butler responded.


    He didn''t know the actual reason the old man was acting this way. Well, he thought it was because of the report he got out his two daughters-inw a question his treatment towards Jia Li.


    A day ago, he reported to the old man on what he heard the two Madams said about Jia Li. Both of them were jealous because of the treatment Jia Li was receiving.


    "At the right time, I will let you know about my ns." Grandfather Fu said to him.


    For now, he will keep his ns to himself.


    "Finally!." Jia Ki said to herself as she closed her book. Just now, she was doing the assignments given to her.


    Before she could take a deep breath, her phone started ringing. From her side view, she saw the caller ID, and a smile appeared on her face.


    Once the call connected, she heard the gentle make voice from the other side.


    "Hello, Jia Li..." Li Huang greeted.


    "Hello, brother Huang." Jia Li responded.


    "Sorry I haven''t checked up on you in a while now, I have been upied with work. How are you doing?." He asked.


    "I understand. I''m fine, I''m better now." Jia Li replied.


    "I heard from my Mum that you left the town for a while." Li Huang said as he tried to confirm things from her.


    "Yeah, it''s true." Jia Li replied.


    Li Huang went ahead to ask her series of questions, and Jia Li''s response to the previous questions gave rise to a new one.


    "Who are you staying with?."


    "Are they treating you well?."


    "When will you be back?."


    "Does it mean you won''te back again? What about your studies?."


    Jia Li patiently answered all his questions.


    There was silence for a while before Li Huang said to her. "I understand that you have to study there, but be careful. These rich people haveplicated issues amongst their family members."


    "I know, thank you!." Jia Li replied.


    "Alright, I will let you go to bed early, I will call you tomorrow, take care of yourself, and don''t forget to give me a call if somethinges up."


    Jia Li smiled and responded gently to him before the call got disconnected.


    She was very happy after speaking with her crush. She went to bed toy down with a smile on her face.


    That night, Fu ChunHua called Meixu over to her room to tell her of the old man''s instructions.


    "Really, it''s so easy to stay here because of that?." Meixu asked in surprise.


    "Yes. It looks like the old man likes that girl a lot. You have heard what he said. If we treat Jia Li well, we can live herefortably." Fu ChunHua said.


    "Okay, I got it. As far as I can reap some benefits from treating her well, I will do it." Fu Meixu said.


    "Good. Your grandfather will also take care of our affairs, so do your best." Fu ChunHua said with a smile.


    The next morning, more pictures from the FJ Style fashion show were released. News of the retired Old General gracing the asion became a sensation because it was difficult to see the old man appear at public events.


    The News was apanied by the picture of the Old man, Jia Li, and Fu Juan. In the picture, Jia Li was sitting in-between the old man and Fu Juan, and there were smiles on their faces as their eyes were fixed on the stage.


    Nobody knew Jia Li''s real identity and her rtionship to the Fu Family, but because she wasn''t so important, they just had a few spections in mind and left the matter aside.


    It''s been almost two weeks since the fashion show was held, but this news came out only because FJ Styles released a magazine featuring the Autumn fashion show and some of theirtest collections.


    Jia Li didn''t know about this matter until she was informed by Fu Meixu when she came back from school.


    Fu Meixu brought the magazine to her bedroom while telling her she was being featured. Jia Li didn''t believe her until she saw the front cover of the magazine.


    Apart from the model''s picture that was made bold, by the side, was a picture of her, the old man, and Fu Juan with smiles on their faces.


    Belie the picture, it was written that the retired Major General graced the asion.


    Jia Li smiled at the picture before her eyes moved to the model on the cover page. She recognized the model because she was one of the models on the FJ Autumn Fashion Show.


    "Heh! I remember this model. I like her style." Jia Li said as she pointed at Feng Alix''s picture.


    "You mean Alix? She is a top model in the country and outside, so obviously, her style would be great." Meixu replied with a hint of envy in her tone.


    "Oh! Please can I have a copy of the magazine?." Jia Li asked.


    "Okay, I will try to help you get one. My agency gave this to me." Fu Meixu said.


    "Okay, thank you!." Jia Li said gratefully.


    Fu Meixu smiled and continued showing her the pictures from the Autumn show.


    Jia Li saw the pictures of the founder of FJ Styles, who happens to be Grandfather Fu''s wife and the grandmother to Fu Hua.


    "This is my grandmother." Fu Meixu said as she pointed at the old picture of the woman who had a smile on her face.


    "She is beautiful, and she looks a lot like Aunty Juan." Jia Li said in amazement.


    "Yes, they look alike. Look, my cousin was featured in the magazine as well. He normally doesn''t do this, so it is rare for him to have his picture put her." Fu Meixu said with a smile as she flipped to another page and pointed at Fu Hua''s photo.


    Jia Li was surprised to see another look of Fu Hua. He was very handsome, and he dressed just like a fashion god.


    "Although I don''t have a good rtionship with him, I know how to appreciate good things when I see them. He should be giving the Fashion King''s award." Fu Meixu said with a smile.


    Jia Li nodded in agreement as she stared at the picture of Fu Hua that gave off a handsome cold ruler''s vibe.

 Chapter 85 - Do You Have A Girlfriend?

    <h4>Chapter 85 - Do You Have A Girlfriend?</h4>


    Later on, Fu Meixu got another copy of the magazine from Fu YingPei and passed it on to Jia Li. Jia Li smiled as she nced at the magazine before keeping it by the side.


    Fu Meixu did not leave immediately she passed the magazine to her, instead, she stayed and chatted with her for a while. She also talked about shopping for clothes the next weekend.


    Jia Li wanted to reject it, but one word about Grandfather Fu and Jia Li did not bother to argue anymore.


    Grandfather Fu wanted to change her entire wardrobe, so he gave enough money to Fu Meixu for them to go weekend shopping.


    It''s been 3 weeks since Jia Li moved to the Fu house. And her Aunty who hasn''t appeared at her house, for a while, appeared today.


    Mu Keer was unlucky to find the door locked. She has been making ns of how to extort from Jia Li, and when she felt her ns were okay, she decided to visit. But unfortunately for her, the door was locked.


    She knocked on the door but received no response. When she saw the padlock ???? on the door, she stopped knocking and calling out to Jia Li.


    ''Where did this girl go to? Did she go to school?.'' She thought to herself with a frown as she whipped out her phone to dial Jia Li''s number, but then she remembered that she didn''t have it.


    "It looks like I really have to get her number the next time we meet." Mu Keer said to herself before leaving reluctantly.


    The other times she has beening, she wasn''t able to get Jia Li''s contact number, because it wasn''t the right time to ask for it. But since the funeral was over, it wouldn''t be wrong to ask for it.


    The next day in the evening, Mu Keer came back to look for Jia Li thinking she would be back from school by that time, but she found the door locked.


    She was beginning to feel annoyed.


    "What kind of school did she go to that she is not back by this time?."


    Mu Keer was angry as she fished out headphones from her bag. She remembered that she still had her brother''s number. Thinking that Jia Li would be the one with the phone, she dialed the number.


    Mu Keer was bound to be disappointed today, as she was notified that the line she was trying to reach has been deactivated.


    Mu Keer stomps her feet and leaves while muttering curses to Jia Li. She left, deciding to return during the weekend.


    During the weekend, she returned but found the door still locked. She was already very angry at getting disappointed repeatedly.


    She decided not to leave without results today. She went knocking on the neighbors'' door to see if the. would find out some information about Jia Li, because it was obvious that Jia Li hasn''t been at home.


    ''Did something happen when I was making my ns?'' She thought to herself.


    A married woman came out to answer the door. She didn''t really recognize who Mu Keer was, so she frowned at her.


    Mu Keer quickly introduced herself to the woman and went straight to the point.


    The woman told Mu Keer all she knew since she was Jia Li''s Aunt.


    "What?! Jia Li hasn''t been around for the past 3 weeks?!." Mu Keer asked with a shocked-filled face.


    "Yes. It has been a long time since we saw her. But I recently learned that she moved to another city. Since you are her Aunt, howe you didn''t know about this?." The woman said, and then turned to walk inside her house.


    Mu Keer was in the processor trying to assimte the shocking news she just heard.


    Jer niece has been easy for three weeks and she didn''t know about it?


    How was she supposed to get some money from her?


    Mu Keer felt so bittered and angry with Jia Li. How could she make such a decision without letting her know? And she has spent some money bying here to look for her.


    Things were getting harder for Mu Keer and her children, and surviving was a difficult task now, so she came to get money from Jia Li as she was still trying to get a job for herself.


    After the discovery, Mu Keer had no choice but to go back home. She almost shed tears, but she was too angry to do so.


    She was thinking about how she was going to get some money to feed herself and her children.


    She didn''t want to do any hard work, and all her life, she has never taken on any job. She has always been a housewife.


    She wanted to get a lot of benefit from Jia Li so she wouldn''t have to struggle, but it looks like all her ns have gone to waste.


    Today, Fu Hua has been working nonstop and hasn''t had the time for lunch. When he was about to round up from work, he received a call from his girlfriend.


    Since thest time they argued, they really haven''t spoken much.


    "I''m busy, call meter." Fu Hua said and ended the call without waiting for a response.


    On the other side, Feng Alix nced at her phone. The call got disconnected before she could say anything.


    "Is Fu Hua losing interest in me already?." Feng Alix questioned herself.


    "No, I must let this happen!." She said to herself.


    Later that evening when Feng Alix thought Fu Hua would be home already, she called his number, and this time around, he answered the call and talked with her.


    "Fu Hua, do you think we are drifting apart?" Feng Alix asked.


    "Why do you think so?." Fu Hua asked. He was currently driving and had his phone connected to the car''s blue tooth.


    "We don''t talk like before, and we barely have time for each other." Feng Alix said in a sad tone.


    "I''ve been busy with work. Since the Fashion show, there has been a lot of work to settle. I can''t rx now. When I''m through with some pressing work, we will have time to be together." Fu Hua replied.


    "Did I do something wrong to you? I can''t feel your love." Feng Alix replied in a depressed tone.


    Fu Hua sighed and assured her that he still loved her. Then the two went ahead to talk about some matters.


    Fu Hua talked with her till he got home. Because they spent over 20 minutes talking, so their bond slowly came back together.


    Feng Alix became at ease after speaking with Fu Hua. She was smiling now and even went on to rat her food.


    Because she hasn''t been working with Fu Hua fit a while, she wasn''t happy and she felt depressed, so she lost appetite. But now that things were back on track, she had slowly regained her appetite.


    When Fu Hua got home, there was still time before dinner, so she went to his bedroom to rx for a bit.


    He had just finished bathing and stepped into his bedroom after changing into his casual clothes when a knock sounded on his door.


    "Come in!." His cold voice rang.


    Fu Hee opened the door and walked in with a smile.


    "Fu Hua, how was work today!." Fu Hee asked with a smile.


    "Fine." Fu Hua replied.


    "How was sales today, is the number still increasing it has it reduced?." Fu Hee asked.


    "The number of demand is still high." Fu Hua replied as he walked to his bed to sit.


    "That''s good, that''s good..." Fu Hee said as she pped her hands together.


    "Mum, what do you want?." Fu Hua asked directly because he knew his mother wouldn''te into his room to ask about his work.


    Fu Hee smiled and she walked close to the bed. "Son, don''t be offended by my question, do you have a girlfriend?."


    Fu Hua nced at her and asked, "Why are you asking?."


    "You are getting old. You will be 32 soon, don''t you n on settling down soon?." Fu Hee asked.


    "Mum, leave my matter. I''m not interested in settling down any time soon. And if I have a girlfriend, I will introduce her to you." Fu Hua said as she picked up the magazine on his bedside table.


    "That means you don''t have a girlfriend. Fu Hua, you are not getting any younger. You are already so old like this, and you still don''t n on starting a family. Look at your father and me, we are getting old as well. Do you n to see us die and get buried before you settle down?." Fu Hee asked with a frown.


    She was not happy with the fact that her son wasn''tplying with her. Some of her friends were grandmothers already, while her first son wasn''t touched.


    Fu Hua massaged his temples and refused to say a word. He could feel a headache crippling in.


    "Fu Hua, do you want me to make arrangements for you?." Fu Hee asked.

 Chapter 86 - Fu Hee Complains About Fu Hua

    <h4>Chapter 86 - Fu Hee Comins About Fu Hua</h4>


    Fu Hua massaged his temples and refused to say a word. He could feel a headache creeping in.


    "Fu Hua, do you want me to make arrangements for you?" Fu Hee asked, but with one icy re from Him, she instinctively stopped talking.


    Fu Hua retracted his gaze and focused his sight on the magazine in his hands.


    "Fu Hua, I will leave now, but you really need to brood over your future. You are old enough to start your family." Fu Hee said before stepping out of his bedroom.


    When she left, Fu Hua massaged his temples and exhaled a deep breath. His mother was too troublesome.


    Over the week, Fu Juan visited, and the reason for her visit was so interesting. She came to meet Grandfather Fu because she wanted to adopt Jia Li as her daughter since she didn''t have any children.


    "Father, I want to adopt Jia Li as my daughter, I don''t have a child, and I like her so much, so I will like to take her under my wings. My husband has already agreed to my request." Fu Hee said to the old man in his study.


    Grandfather Fu had ck lines on his forehead. But trust him not to agree to her request.


    Jia Li was the granddaughter-inw he was delicately grooming, so how could he give her out and ruin his ns just like that?


    Grandfather Fu would never allow that. He outrightly rejected her without batting an eye.


    "No, you can''t!"


    Fu Juan was surprised her old man rejected her directly, and she wanted to know the reason, so she asked, "Why?"


    "You will find out in the future." Grandfather Fu replied.


    Fu Juan became curious as she now knew the Old Man had ns for Jia Li. But what kind of ns was it?


    Since the reason for her visit was not fruitful, Fu Juan had to leave. On her way out, she met Fu Hee who was about to leave the house.


    "Sister-inw, you''re leaving so soon?" Fu Hee asked with a smile.


    "Yes." Fu Juan replied.


    Fu Hee set up a little get-together with a few of her friends, so it was about time to leave the house.


    An hourter, Fu Hua met with her friends who were rich Madams from really big families. They yed cards, ate, talked about things inmon like their families and children.


    Amongst the women gathered, Fu Hee was the most respected because she had the backing of the Fu Family.


    As the women chatted, the one named Mrs. Bai, smiled as she said to Fu Hee.


    "Fu Hee, we haven''t seen each other in a long time, and thanks for giving me a grand wee."


    "It''s nothing at all. I heard your family is trying to relocate back to this city, is it true?" Fu Hee asked.


    "Yes. Very soon, we will fix our base back here just like before. I came around because I have few businesses to attend to here." Mrs. Bai said.


    "It''s alright. Since you will be here for a few days, let''s have fun!" Fu Hee said.


    Mrs. Bai and Fu Hee were best friends, and the Bai Family used to live in the same city as the Fu''s, but they moved to another city to try dominating there and also to trying out from the shadows of the Fu Family.


    But now, it looks like they would be moving back to the city again.


    One of the women who had all gold-adorned on her as jewelry, said.


    "Enough of you two. We know you two are best friends, but do you really need to rub it in our faces? When the rest of us leave, you two can meet up and have a private chat!"


    "Are you jealous?" Mrs. Bai asked with a smile.


    "Who is jealous?" The woman asked with a smile, and the othersughed as well.


    When their little meeting ended, Fu Hee decided to meet up to chat with Mrs. Bai privately. They scheduled to meet up the next day for an afternoon tea.


    On the afternoon of the next day, Fu Hee and Mrs. Bai were chatting happily in the private room of a restaurant.


    From one topic to another, they two talked andughed over it. And when the next topic came up, there was a little reminiscing.


    "Since those girls traveled together, they don''t want toe back home." Mrs. Bai said.


    "They are still studying, and they are still young. Allow them to have fun. Those to have been friends since birth and their friendship goals should inspire us." Fu Hee said.


    They were both talking about their daughters.


    The daughter of the Bai family is friends with Fu Hua''s junior sister and they two have been inseparable since birth.


    Because of Fu Hee''s friendship with Mrs. Bai, thetter used to visit the Fu House often before they relocated, so you could say they are family friends.


    The bond of the daughter from the Bai family, and the daughter of the Fu Family were strong, and they decided to travel out together to study.


    "These two, I wonder when they will finish school ande back home." Mrs. Bai said with a smile.


    "I believe they will be back soon. I miss those girls a lot. They have different personalities, and I still find it a surprise that has been good friends for so long." Fu Hee said.


    "It''s a good thing for us. How is Fu Hua and YingPei, I haven''t sent your sons in years now." Mrs.Bai said.


    "They are fine. Currently, Fu Hua is giving me headaches." Fu Hee said with a frown.


    "How could such a good son like Fu Hua cause you trouble, you are not serious." Mrs. Bai said as sheughed over it.


    "I''m serious, he is a headache to me. He doesn''t have a girlfriend, and he is not in the least interested in settling down any time soon." Fu Heeined.


    "Maybe it''s because he hasn''t found the right person. When he does, he will settle down with her immediately." Mrs. Bai said.


    "If I wait for him to settle down on his own, the hairs on my head would have turned white by then. As his mother, it wouldn''t be bad for me to choose him. I don''t want him to bring any shabby girl home." Fu Hee said with a sigh.


    A light shined in Mrs. Bai''s eyes. She smiled and quickly added as an idea popped up in her head.


    "It''s okay. As his mother, you really do have a right to help him pick a wife. Once my daughteres back in a year and six months, I will hurry her to settle down."


    "Why, she is still young. Don''t you want to allow her to spend some time with you?." Fu Hee asked in a worried tone. And this was because her friend had only one child, so she felt that she was marrying her out in a hurry.


    "She is not too young. She will be 25 years by then. Also, I won''t feel lonely by the time she gives birth to a few grandkids for me." Mrs. Bai said with a pleasant look.


    "Ah! That''s not a bad idea. Before I think of the others, Fu Hua has to get married first, and I will make sure of that."


    Their meeting had a happy ending. The two women dispersed and went back to their various locations.


    In the evening of the next day, Feng Alix came over to Fu Hua''s apartment. They had already scheduled to meet up a day ago.


    Feng Alix said she had something to talk about, so Fu Hua asked her toe over. Right now, the two of them were lying in bed together with the river covering their naked bodies.


    "Alix, I want us to get married before the year runs out." Fu Hua said with his gaze elsewhere. He seemed to be lost in thought.


    Feng Alix felt overjoyed when she heard him talk about their marriage. That means, he only had her at heart. But then, the reason she wanted to see him today, would really go against his wishes.


    Feng Alix fiddled with his fingers and said to him in a soft tone.


    "I really want us to get married soon, but I have a lot of work to do in New York City, and it willst for a year, and I will be leaving in a month."


    "Are you saying that you''re moving to New York City for a year?" Fu Hua asked in surprise.


    "Yeah, I''m sorry I''m only telling you about it now. I only found out about this from my manager about a week ago, and there was no opportunity to tell you about it until now." Feng Alix said as she gazed into his eyes.


    Fu Hua stared at her wordlessly. He didn''t see thising. He was thinking of introducing her to his family and getting married to her before the end of the year. But with all of these, how is it going to be possible?


    With his mother nagging him about settling down, he was being to think it was the right to do so.


    Seeing him so quiet, Feng Alix hugged his arm and said to cate him.


    "Don''t worry, A year is not too long. I will be back soon and then, we can announce our rtionship to the World, and then, I can meet with your family. Please give me a year."


    After what felt like hours of silence, Fu Hua sighed and agreed. Feng Alix was so happy and she showered him with kisses.


    Fu Hua had to push her face aside. He was thinking, how he was going to drag this matter till shees back a yearter. He knew his Family will soon start getting on nerves because of his marriage.


    Fu Hua and Feng Alix cuddled together, and just like that, a month passed by and it was time for Feng Alix to leave for New York City.


    Fu Hua sent her to the Airport and watched her leave before going back to his office...

 Chapter 87 - There Is No Room For Negotiation

    <h4>Chapter 87 - There Is No Room For Negotiation</h4>


    One Year Later...


    Jia Li is sketching on her sketchbook with a headset on her ears. She looks more beautiful and a little mature than before.


    As all her concentration was on her work, and with the music on, she didn''t hear the knocks on her door.


    Butler Lu who was standing right outside Jia Li''s bedroom, was in a hurry as he continued knocking.


    He tried to push the door open, but it was locked.


    It seemed that Jia Li had eyes at the back of her head because at that time Butler Lu turned the door handle, she became distracted and suddenly looked over.


    Jia Li took off her headset and heard the knocks on her door, coupled with the familiar voice.


    "Miss Qin, are you there?" Butler Lu asked as he continued knocking on her door.


    Jia Li walked towards the door and opened it. With a smile, she apologized to him.


    "Butler Lu, I''m sorry, I had my headset on, so I didn''t hear the knocks on time."


    "It''s okay. I know you''re working now, but can you share a few minutes of your time, The Old Sir has something to tell you." Butler Lu revealed.


    "Okay, I will be there in a minute!" Jia Li replied with a smile.


    Butler Lu smiled and bowed before walking away.


    Jia Li walked back to her room to put her things in order. She ced her pencil on the page she was sketching, before closing the sketchbook.


    When she was through, she left her room for Grandfather Fu''s Study. Now standing in front of the door, she knocked and Butler Lu opened the door for her.


    She smiled at him and walked in, but right then, she felt the energy in the room wasn''t good. She could feel the tension in the study, so she looked up to see Grandfather Fu staring head-on at someone.


    From the position she was standing, she couldn''t see the person''s face, but the back view was easy for her to recognize, so she knew it was Fu Hua.


    "Grandfather, I''m not going to marry her." Fu Hua said in a firm tone.


    "I''m not asking for your opinion." Grandfather Fu in a serious tone.


    ''Did Ie in at the wrong time?'' Jia Li thought. But she was jolted back to the present by Butler Lu who announces her presence.


    It was only Grandfather Fu that looked in her direction with a smile. As for Fu Hua, he didn''t even bother to look over.


    "Jia Li,e over. Come and sit here." Grandfather Fu said as he pointed to the chair beside Fu Hua.


    Jia Li thought it was a bad idea to join them at the desk, but since he already gave out the instruction, she had toply.


    "Thank you, grandfather!" Jia Li said with a smile as she walked towards the desk to sit on the chair beside Fu Hua.


    "Jia Li, I learned you were working when I called you over, I hope I don''t disturb you?" Grandfather Fu asked with a kind smile.


    "No, it''s okay, grandfather." Jia Li said with a smile and she waved her hands.


    "Good. I called you today to tell you something important. I know it may sound sudden and a little inappropriate of me, but this is the matter I have dwelled on for such a long time, and I am convinced it is a good idea." Grandfather Fu said with his gaze on her.


    Fu Hua nced at his old man when he said he had dwelled on the matter for such a long time. But he was too annoyed to say anything to him.


    Jia Li remained calm, but she was still a bit nervous deep inside because she could feel the cold aura of the person sitting next to her was dissipating.


    "Jia Li, I want you and Fu Hua to get married!" Grandfather Fu, dropping the bombshell.


    "What?!" Jia Li said in shock. She didn''t even know when she reacted that way, but she was probably too shocked.


    "I know this matter may seem absurd to you, but I have considered it for such a long time, and I know it''s the right thing to do." Grandfather Fu said immediately when he saw how shocked Jia Li was.


    "Grandfather, what are you really thinking? Do you still think I am a child that you have to set up my marriage with anyone without my consent and approval?" Fu Hua asked angrily.


    "Brat! What are you saying?! Is Jia Li just anyone? Jia Li has been with us for more than a year now, so you are familiar with her. And I don''t need your consent to select a marriage partner for you, because I have always had the power and right to do so before your birth!" Grandfather Fu said to him angrily.


    He was angrier that he degraded Jia Li by addressing her as ''Just anyone.''


    "So this is the reason you brought her back to live with us? You have already made the ns silently before carrying them out. Grandfather, look around you, this is the 21st century, and I am an adult. I have every right to choose who my marriage partner will be, and besides, I have a girlfriend."


    Fu Hua said all of these without mincing words. He couldn''t believe his grandfather has had such ns for a long time, and he had no idea about it.


    How could he try to set him up with someone just like that without asking for his opinion?. Did he ever mention to him that he was looking for a woman to marry?


    "Fu Hua, you have to listen to me. Well, you don''t have a choice. Your parents can not intervene in this matter, because this decision has been settled many years ago. If you had a girlfriend, who are you only saying it now? Are you trying to make up excuses just to get away from this?" Grandfather Fu queried.


    "Grandfather, you should know me by now that I don''t give silly excuses. I really do have a girlfriend, and we have been dating for more than five years now." Fu Hua revealed.


    "If you had a girlfriend and you two have been dating for so long, why haven''t you introduced her to us? And when your parents asked if you had a girlfriend, why did you deny it, who are you trying to fool?" Grandfather asked with a fixed gaze on him.


    Jia Li who has been silent all this while as she was trying to digest the sudden news and revtion from the two people, shifted ufortably in her seat.


    ''Since when did Grandfather have this idea about me and his grandson?''


    ''If Fu Hua has a girlfriend already, why is grandfather still insisting that we get married?''


    ''Am I even allowed to voice my opinion?''.


    Grandfather Fu nced at the dumbstruck Jia Li before turning to Fu Hua to say...


    "Fu Hua, no number of excuses you mention can forfeit my decision. I have already said what is necessary, and I have made myself clear. Since you are going to get married to Jia Li, you can start spending more time with her, to get to understand her more. You two can leave!"


    Grand Father Fu said as he waved his hand, sending them off.


    Fu Hua looked so angry as he got up from his seat.


    If not for the deep respect Fu Hua had for his old man, he would have long given him the piece of his mind.


    What he disliked the most was someone enforcing or imposing something on him. This time around, he wasn''t even given a choice.


    Fu Hua refrained from using harsh words on the old man as he walked away in anger.


    As for Jia Li, she was still shocked by everything that was happening. She only came back to her senses when she heard the sound of the door close.


    She nced at Grandfather Fu and said slowly to him, "Grandfather, I really don''t want to get married, at least, not for now."


    Grandfather Fu slowly gazed at her as he said in a disappointed tone. "Jia Li, even you want to go against me?"


    "No, I just wanted to voice..." Jia Li started saying, but her words were cut short.


    "Let''s talk about his matter some other time, but let me tell you beforehand that there is no room for negotiation. You can leave, I am tired."


    Jia Li bit her lips as she nced at the old man that had already shut his eyes. He looked tired. She didn''t know the reason she suddenly felt guilty.


    ''Shouldn''t I be the one wronged, Why do I have to feel guilty about voicing my opinion?'' Jia Li thought to herself and gave Grandfather Fu onest look before leaving the study.


    Hearing the sound of the door closing, Grandfather opened his eyes and nced in that direction.


    "Sir, do you think this will work?" Butler Lu asked.


    Apart from the old man, he was the next person that knew all about his ns to get Fu Hua and Jia Li married. The old man told him about the matter two months back.

 Chapter 88 - Fu Hees Arrangement

    <h4>Chapter 88 - Fu Hee''s Arrangement</h4>


    "Sir, do you think this will work?" Butler Lu asked.


    Apart from the old man, he was the next person that knew all about his ns to get Fu Hua and Jia Li married. The old man told him about the matter two months back.


    "Of course, it will work, do you doubt my capabilities?" Grandfather Fu asked with a question mark ?


    "No, Sir. I''m only worried about young master Fu Hua. He doesn''t like to be pushed around, so with you doing this, he might rebel." Butler Lu voiced out his concern.


    "He doesn''t dare to rebel against me! I raised him, and I have let him live his life. I don''t always ask him for something, so what''s so hard about this?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    "Sir, have you ever thought that young master Fu Hua might have a girlfriend, but has been hiding her?" Butler Fu asked.


    "It''s not my business. If he had a girlfriend, what reason is genuine enough to hide her from us?" Grandfather Fu asked with furrowed brows.


    "Sir, maybe he was really protecting from the family." Butler Lu said carefully with his gaze on the old man.


    "I don''t want to know about it, I have made up my mind already. Can''t he see the perfect match I nurtured for him? His sight is not good if he doesn''t find Jia Li worthy."


    The old man said, he was not going to condone whatever reason Fu Hua has for not epting his goodwill.


    "Sir..." Butler Lu said, but one fierce look from the old man, he instinctively shut his mouth.


    "Who are you working for? Did Fu Hua pay you to support him and to change my mind?" Grandfather Fu asked with a fierce gaze on him.


    ''Ah! I only wanted to remind you of Miss Qin.'' Butler Lu screamed in his head.


    He didn''t see anything wrong with the old man''s arrangement, but he thought it would be unfair to Jia Li if she is not treated nicely after she gets married to Fu Hua.


    "No, Sir, I dare not!" Butler Lu said to the old man, who snorted when he heard him.


    Butler Lu heaved a sigh before leaving the Old man alone in the study.


    As he walked out of the study and walked along the hallway, he met Fu ChunHua, and thetter seems to have been waiting for him because immediately she saw him, she smiled.


    Without waiting for him toe to her, she walked towards him with a smile as she asked.


    "Butler Lu, what happened in there? I saw Fu Hua walking away with a frightening look, and I couldn''t even dare to talk to him. Thenter, Jia Li followed, but she didn''t even hear me calling out to her, she looked lost."


    "Madam, you must have seen wrongly. I don''t know what you are talking about." Butler Lu said and wanted to walk past her, but she blocked the way.


    "Butler Lu, are you insulting me by calling me blind? I saw Fu Hua and Jia Liing out from the same ce, or has father''s study been relocated to another ce, so they came out from the wrong room?" Fu ChunHua asked with a smile that was not a smile.


    Butler Lu sighed and said to her. "Madam, I don''t dare to insult you. But don''t worry, whatever happened in there is not for you to worry about."


    "How can I not worry? I am worried about Jia Li. Have you forgotten that she has been under my care for the past year?? Also, have you forgotten that I am on Father''s side? You can tell me, maybe I can help in my little ways." Fu ChunHua said with a smile.


    Butler Lu nced at her and sighed again. Then he reluctantly exined things to her in the shortest way possible.


    Fu ChunHua''s mouth was agape in shock as she listened. She couldn''t wait for him to be done already so she couldment.


    "What?! Father wants the two to get married? No wonder Fu Hua''s face was ugly, and his countenance, unapproachable. Oh! and my poor Jia Li looked lost. But why would father want to set them up, that is a bad match!" Fu ChunHua said, a little afraid of the situation.


    "I don''t understand Master''s reason. He says they are a perfect match. We can only hope that the young master doesn''t raise this house down in this fight because he hates to be pushed around." Butler Lu said.


    "There won''t be peace in this house from now, because the dark clouds ?? have surrounded the building." Coming out from her gloomy look, Fu ChunHua remembered something and suddenly smiled.


    "Well, in a good way, this will be fun! Fu Hee has found someone for Fu Hua, and she has already started making ns about it without telling anyone. I can''t wait to break this wonderful news to her." Fu ChunHua said with a delighted smile as she rubbed her palms together.


    Butler Lu had an astonished look, as he gazed at Fu ChunHua. He was really surprised to learn this news from her.


    First Madam was already making ns for young Master''s marriage?


    "Butler Lu, I will be on my way now." Fu ChunHua said to him and left before he could say anything to her.


    It was toote to stop her, so he immediately turned around and hurries back to the study to inform Grandfather Fu of thetest news.


    Fu ChunHua already knew Fu Hee was making ns to arrange a partner for Fu Hua because, on several asions, she has heard her talk on the phone with a woman, about the matter.


    Fu ChunHua couldn''t wait to taunt her with this news she just got.


    ''It would be nice to see her go berserk, and her ns ruined.'' Fu ChunHua thought as she walked to the living room to sit.


    She ordered some snacks and tea, as she needed something to keep her busy while waiting for Fu Hee toe home.


    She was sure thetter went out to meet up with her friend to continue talking about their matter.


    Fu ChunHua made sure to sit in a good position where she could see Fu Hee once she steps into the house.


    As for Fu Hee, she was currentlyughing and talking with Mrs. Bai at the moment.


    As the Bai family has already moved to the city, She has been going there to see Mrs. Bai on some asions.


    "... then they will have their engagement in the Royal Hotel, how is the n?" Fu Hee asked with a smile.


    "That is a wonderful n you have. But Fu Hee, are you sure everything will go well on your end? You haven''t said anything to Fu Hua till now, and my daughter already knows about all these ns, and it''s a good thing she likes Fu Hua as she has always admired him from young." Mrs. Bai said worriedly.


    Over thest year, she managed to direct Fu Hee''s thoughts in her favor. During their conversation, she would deliberately mention her daughter, and how she is looking for a good man for him.


    Fu Hee got that idea with her always talking about it, so the former mentioned the idea of them liking their children together.


    Mrs. Bai pretended to deliberate for a while, as she asked some questions.


    "Do you think it''s a good idea?"


    "Do you think they will like each other?"


    Fu Hee gave a positive response as she asked her not to worry about Fu Hua, that she will settle the matter at his end, and that all she had to do was to talk to her daughter about it.


    So since then, they have been making arrangements, even down to their engagement party.


    When Fu Hua''s junior sister learned the news from the young miss of the Bai family, she became happy and even called her mother to confirm the news.


    "Good. It will best if you be my sister-inw, as don''t trust all those girls that are constantly throwing themselves at my brother." The young Miss of the Fu Family said with a gentle smile while gazing at the young miss of the Bai family.


    "How can you talk like that! I don''t think your brother will like me." The young Miss of the Bai family said with a shy expression on her face.


    "Hehe... don''t be shy. My brother will certainly like you. Since you will be my sister-inw, let''s quickly wrap up with school, so we can go back home together."


    The young Miss of the Fu family said, and since that day, she has been calling her friend, ''Sister-inw''.


    At first, the young miss of the Bai family felt embarrassed and ufortable, so she asked her not to address her as such, but the former wouldn''t listen and continued.


    Gradually, the two became very used to it, and their future identity as sisters-inw.


    Imagine the trouble in the future... ????


    (Author''s note: Dear Readers, I don''t know how to thank you enough. I have been releasing 1 chapter a day since this month, and this book is still able to get 300 power stones at the end of every week. Thank you so much, I love and appreciate all of you!


    I had a little problem in school, so I''m on it and will settle everything soon.

 Chapter 89 - Do You Want To Fight Me?

    <h4>Chapter 89 - Do You Want To Fight Me?</h4>


    Feeling Mrs. Bai''s worry, Fu Hee smiled and assured her.


    "Don''t worry, I will settle the matter at my end since we havee to this stage. I will bring up the matter to Fu Huater today. I will also mention it to my husband."


    "Since you have assured me, then I am relieved." Mrs. Bai said with a smile.


    "Ah! you don''t need to worry too much, you can trust me. When our children get married, our rtionship will be stronger and better. And you are my very good friend, so how can I fail at my promise to you?"


    Mrs. Bai smiled to herself as she drank the tea in her cup.


    The two of them chatted for a while before Fu Hee left. And when she came back to the Fu Vi with a smile on her face, she met Fu ChunHua who was stuffing herself with food.


    She snorted and wanted to walk past her, but she was called back.


    Immediately Fu Hee stepped into the living room, Fu ChunHua smiled to herself and put down the cup of tea in her hand. And when she saw that Fu Hee was about to walk past her, she called out to her with a smile, and thetter stopped in her steps and turned to nce at her with a frown.


    "Why are you calling me? Thest time I checked, we don''t have any business together, so what can I do for you?" Fu Hee asked with a frown.


    She just came home and was in a good mood, so she decided to take it easy on her because normally, she would have snubbed her and walked past her.


    "Rx, I''m not here to look for trouble. In fact, I have been waiting for you." Fu ChunHua said with a smiling gaze.


    "You''ve been waiting for me, what for?" Fu Hee asked. She didn''t like the way Fu ChunHua was smiling, as she knew the woman was her rival and wouldn''t have any good n for her.


    "I wanted to congratte you as you will be getting a daughter-inw for yourself." Fu ChunHua said.


    Fu Hee was a little stunned, but then she rxed as she asked with a fierce gaze. "You''ve been eavesdropping on my conversations?! I don''t me you, you will always like to act sneakily. If I have arranged a wife for Fu Hua, how is it your business?"


    After warning her, she attempted to walk away but Fu ChunHua stopped her again.


    Fu ChunHua stood to her feet and walked close to her. Then she opened her mouth to say...


    "What eavesdropping on your conversation are you talking about? Do you think I''m that jobless? Oh! I just recalled that you just said you arranged a wife for Fu Hua, don''t you think it''s toote?"


    "What do you mean by it''s toote?" Fu Hee asked in an annoyed tone. She was waiting to see what that troublemaker was driving at.


    Fu ChunHua chuckled softly with her hand over her mouth.


    "Tsk...tsk...tsk... it seems that you don''t know what''s going on in the family as you have another business outside. Father has already arranged a wife for your son, you don''t need to bother going over that stress again."


    "What?! What nonsense are you talking about?" Fu Hee asked with an unbelievable expression on her face.


    Fu ChunHua feigned a surprised look as she asked, "What? ???? you don''t know about this? Poor you! Father has already found an eligible marriage partner for Fu Hua, so you don''t need to stress yourself in that area."


    "What?! How can father make such arrangements without telling me about it? I don''t believe you, I''m going to find out for myself." Fu Hee said as she walked towards Grandfather Fu''s study in anger.


    "Tsk...tsk...tsk... you''re already pissed off with the fact that Father arranged a wife for your son without your consent, just wait till you find out who your soon-to-be daughter-inw is."


    Fu ChunHua said as she chuckled to herself.


    Just when Fu Hee was about to knock on the door, the door opened from inside, and out came Butler Lu. He looked startled to see her.


    Fu Hee tried to peep, but the door closed before she could see anything.


    "Butler Lu, I want to see father, it''s urgent." Fu Hee said to him.


    "Madam, I''m sorry, but Master is on a very important meeting at the moment with regards to the military." Butler Lu reported.


    Fu Hee went straight to ask after being rejected.


    "Since Father is upied and can''t see me now, then you have to answer my questions as I don''t have the patience to wait. What am I hearing about Father getting a marriage partner for Fu Hua?"


    "Madam, I think you will have to ask Sir about it." Butler Lu said with a slight smile.


    "If I have to ask Father about everything, then what''s your job as his right-hand man? Maybe you should be fired!" Fu Hee voiced angrily.


    Butler Lu sighed and screamed in his head. He felt he had a bit of bad luck with whatever was going on.


    "Madam, what you heard is true. Master has indeed arranged a marriage partner for the young master. If you will excuse me, I have to run an errand for Master."


    And with that, Butler Lu hurriedly escaped from her presence.


    How could he dare to invite a fight by telling her who thedy the old man arranged was? He wasn''t ready to experience her madness.


    When Butler Lu walked away, Fu Hee was so angry that she squeezed her palms. She looked back at the tightly shut doors, and she was tempted to barge in there. But her rationality chose to favor her.


    When Butler Lu walked back, he saw still standing there. And before she could say anything to him, he said to her, "Madam, I will let you know when Master is less busy."


    Fu Hee could only swallow her words and watch him walk into the study room and shut the door.


    Fu Hee didn''t have the patience to wait for who knows how long, so she walked away to find answers herself.


    Walking back to the living room, she met Fu ChunHua drinking a ss of red wine.


    "Who on earth did the old man arrange for my son?!" Fu Hee asked as soon as she stepped into view.


    Fu ChunHua looked up at her and smiled. " Oh you''re back so soon?"


    "Were you expecting me to sleep right outside his door? You seem to know a lot about this matter, so answer my questions." Fu Hee said in a demanding tone.


    "Fu Hee, I am not your servant that you can talk to in such manner. My lips are tightly shut and I''m not saying anything to you. If you want answers to your questions because I can see how tensed you are, wait patiently for Father to call you in, or you can go find your son to ask him about it."


    Learning that Fu Hua knew everything about this matter, Fu Hee couldn''t be bothered about her again, so she directly went to find Fu Hua.


    Unfortunately, for her, Fu Hua was not at home at the moment. He left the house immediately after leaving the study.


    "That Bitch! She knew Fu Hua was not around, and she made me go find him!" Fu Hee said through gritted teeth as she walked back to the living room.


    ncing at the woman who was filling her stomach with the red wine, she said to her, "You must be having fun with all of these rights?!"


    "Why wouldn''t I have fun, after all, this matter is worth celebrating. Guess what! Your daughter-inw is kind of okay but with your high standards, you may not like her. But don''t worry, she is very obedient to her elders, so she can tolerate your nagging and insatiable desires." Fu ChunHua spat.


    "ChunHua! You are really going too far!" Fu Hee warned as pointed at her.


    "Do you want to fight me? Are you sure you have that kind of time?" Fu ChunHua said, daring her.


    At this moment, Fu Hee was lost for words. She felt like strangling Fu ChunHua because thetter was taunting her.


    When Butler Lu went back to the study, the old man had just put the telephone down.


    "Master, Madam Fu Hee has been waiting to see you, and it looks like she has found out about the matter." Butler Fu announced.


    "That woman! Call her in!" Grandfather Fu said as he adjusted the framed ss ???? on the bridge of his nose.


    Butler Lu bowed and left to find Fu Hee. When he went to the living room, it was at that time Fu ChunHua sent her away.


    So, when Butler Lu came looking for her, She was away looking for Fu Hua.


    Butler Lu saw Fu ChunHua in the living room and said to her...

 Chapter 90 - Grandfather Fu Splashes Ink On Fu Hee For Disrespecting Him

    <h4>Chapter 90 - Grandfather Fu Sshes Ink On Fu Hee For Disrespecting Him</h4>


    So when Butler Lu came looking for her, that was when she went to look for Fu Hua.


    Butler Lu saw Fu ChunHua in the living room and said to her...


    "Second Madam, please I will have to trouble you with telling the first Madam she cane to meet master in the Study"


    "Okay, I will let her know when shees out." Fu ChunHua replied, and then Butler Lu walked away having been assured.


    When Fu Hee came back to the living room, Fu ChunHua didn''t immediately tell her she could see the old man now. She waited till 10 minutes were up before saying.


    "Fu Hee, I almost forgot. 10 minutes ago when you went to find Fu Hua, Butler Lu came looking for you. He said Father will like to see you in his study."


    "What? You let me sit here doing nothing till 10 minutes was over before you divided to tell me about it?." Fu Hee asked as she raged on.


    "Tsk...tsk...tsk... Fu Hee, you really should watch your manner, you are not behaving like the Mistress of the house, what are you trying to teach your daughter-inw?" Fu ChunHua asked.


    "You...you...you dare to act all haughty around me?." Fu Hee asked angrily.


    "Why are you angry, shouldn''t you go to find out who your daughter-inw is from Father?." Fu ChunHua said in a little reminder.


    "Just wait till Ie back, I will deal with youter." Fu Hee said before walking away in a huff.


    "I don''t think you will have the time to bicker with me once you find out the good news that has been waiting for you." Fu ChunHua said as sheughed out loud.


    When Fu Hee walked into the old man''s study, she greeted him and directly started speaking.


    "Father what am I hearing about you finding a wife for Fu Hua, that must be a mistake right?."


    Grandfather Fu red at her and didn''t say anything.


    Fu Hee was not in the mood to care if we had offended the old man, as she was very curious about the whole arrangement.


    "Father, you really have to say something to me."


    "You walked into my study and started throwing questions all around, do you think you have that right? And how can you stand there and ask me questions, have you forgotten the rules?." Grandfather Fu asked.


    Realizing her mistakes, Fu Hee apologized and went to sit in front of him.


    Grandfather Fu red at her for a few seconds before directly speaking up.


    "I called you here to tell you that I had long arranged for a wife for Fu Hua since a year ago. And now, they should be married within a month."


    "What? Father, you really did arrange a marriage partner for Fu Hua, ad that too since a year ago? Howe you didn''t tell us this important news soon?." Fu Hee asked in a bitter tone.


    She felt so ufortable where she was sitting and her heart, felt a pang of pain, as she couldn''t believe what she was hearing.


    "Am I to tell you every one of my intentions step by step, and why are you so worried about it?." Grandfather Fu said as he looked over.


    "Father, you don''t know, but I have already arranged a suitable marriage partner for Fu Hua, and you know the family. She is the daughter of the Bai Family. I have been making so many arrangements with my friend Mrs. Bai for thest three months. And we already agreed the children will get engaged once her daughteres home in a few months from now."


    "Who gave you the right to make important decisions such as marriage in this family?! Grandfather Fu asked in a heavy tone.


    Seeing that the Old man was angry, she stammered, "Fa... Father, I am Fu Hua''s mother, at least I have the right to make a little contribution."


    "What nonsense!!! Who told you that? Do you want to step on my head now?! Did you tell Fu Lei about this matter or did you go ahead to make this big decision on your own?." Grandfather asked.


    "Father, I''m sorry. You know Fu Lei has been busy and hardlyes home, so I thought I would do things on behalf." Fu Hee said.


    "What nonsense! You are the mistress of this house, but you don''t know the rules?! Should this old man teach you?." Grandfather Fu asked in a raised tone.


    He was very angry that Fu Hee made such arrangements without telling anybody.


    "No, I''m sorry father, it won''t happen again." Fu Hee replied in a hurry.


    "Of course it won''t happen again, do you dare?! I don''t care about what you did. And since you made the whole arrangements and settled the matter yourself, go and exin things to the Bai Family." Grandfather Fu said to her as he waved her away.


    "What... father, how can I do the exnation? The daughter of the Bai family ready knows about this, in fact, the entire Bai family knows about this, so how can I exin this matter to them?." Fu Hee asked in a solemn tone.


    In fact, she was angry with the old man for keeping such a matter to himself, and now he wanted her to cancel the perfect marriage partner she arranged for Fu Hua.


    "You and the entire Bai Family are senseless, more especially, the Bai Family! How could they know and ept this arrangement without us the Fu Family knowing about it? And when they saw you were the only one making such arrangements, they didn''t bother to ask of our opinion, they must be blind!."


    "Father..." Fu Hee called out desperately.


    "Don''t call me. You, go and fix your mess. If you know the way you started with the whole arrangement, start ending it from there. Clean up your mess, so next time, you will know your ce in this family." Grandfather Fu said to her.


    "Lu,e and grind the ink for me." Grandfather Fu said to Butler Lu who has been atoning at the side.


    Grandfather Fu Has already brought out his calligraphy paper, and the ink was already on his desk. He only needed for the ink to be smooth before he could start writing.


    Seeing the Old man was already ignoring her, Fu Hee could only swallow her grievances.


    Grandfather Fu nced over and saw Fu Hee still sitting there, and he said to her


    , "Do you think you still have the time to be sitting here and idling about? You better go and settle things with the Bai family ande and bond with your daughter-inw. Jia Li is an obedient child that I raised, so you don''t have to worry about her not following the rules."


    Fu Hee looked confused when the old man mentioned Jia Li in this matter, so she asked, "Father, what does Jia Li have to do with this matter?."


    "You''ve been sitting here for long and you didn''t care to find out who your daughter-inw is. Jia Li will be your daughter-inw in a month. You have known her for such a long time, so you wouldn''t find it troublesome to bond with her." Grandfather Fu said as he picked up his calligraphy brush as Butler Lu was done grinding the ink.


    Fu Hee thought she had just heard the biggest Joke in the world. ''


    Wait...wait...wait, the wife the old man arranged for my son is that girl?!''


    Fu Hee thought she was going crazy, and suddenly, something sparked in her head. She stood up immediately and said to Grandfather Fu in a furious tone.


    "Father, what kind of joke is this? The woman you arranged for my distinguished son is that girl?! Father, as Fu Hua''s mother, I refuse to ept it! My precious son can never get married to that ordinary girl, never!."


    As Fu Hee screamed thest sentence, she felt something wet ssh on her.


    Grandfather Fu could not condone her nonsense any longer and sshed the ink on her face and dress.


    "How dare you stand there and challenge my authority? You have really grown wings to think you can stand there and talk to me like that!." Grandfather Fu said as he pointed at her angrily.


    The old man was very furious.


    When Fu Hee discovered it was the ck ink Butler Lu ground that was poured on her face, she shrieked.


    "Ah!!!...."


    "What are you screaming for? Even Fu Hua didn''t dare to raise his tone on me even when he didn''t agree to the marriage, but you don''t know the rules. Now, you made me waste my quality ink on you, make sure you refund the money before dinner today, now get out of my study!!!." Grandfather Fumanded.


    "Father this is so unfair of you, how can you treat me this way?!." Fu Hee cried out.


    "You still have the guts to talk back? Butler Lu, get me my cane, I haven''t used it in a long time.

 Chapter 91 - Grandfather Fu Demands That Fu Hee Pays Off Her Debts Before Dinner

    <h4>Chapter 91 - Grandfather Fu Demands That Fu Hee Pays Off Her Debts Before Dinner</h4>


    "You still have the guts to talk back? Lu, get me my cane, I haven''t used it in a long time.


    Fu Hee ran out of the Study when she heard the old man''s words. She didn''t believe the old man would rare to hit her with a cane, but she still had to run away in other to be on the safe side.


    Butler Lu sighed in relief when he saw that Fu Hee had left. He didn''t even pity her because she went over-board by disrespecting the old ma without batting an eye.


    "Master, I will go and call in some servants to clean the floor." Butler Lu said.


    Grandfather Fu waved his hand, permitting him to leave. The old man had a frown sitting on his face and he had suddenly lost the zeal to practice his calligraphy skills.


    Fu Hee had tears in her eyes as walked into the living room, and Fu ChunHua who had been sitting there and waiting for the drama to finish unfolding looked shocked to her Fu Hee in that state.


    "Why do you look like this?" Fu ChunHua asked. She was already too shocked to make fun of her


    "Are you not happy to see me in this state, why are you pretending to be shocked?!." Fu Hee said in anger.


    Then she turned to the two servants that were dodging by the side and said to them in a harsh tone.


    "What are losers doing there?! Can''t you see that I need to wipe this ink off my face?!."


    The two servants hurriedly went away and returned within a minute with two pieces of clothes.


    As they wiped her face and dress with the pieces of clothes, their attention turned to the steady footsteps that were approaching them.


    Seeing that it was Fu Hua, Fu Hee let the grievances she has been holding in out. She began to cry as she pushed the two servants away and walked to his side.


    "Mum, what happened to you?." Fu Hua asked with a deep frown.


    "Fu Hua you have to uphold justice for me! I just learned that your grandfather arranged a marriage partner for you, and I went to ask about it. He confirmed it and shocked me with the news that Jia Li was the person he found for you. And as your mother, how could I allow you to be short-changed?." Fu Hee cried out.


    Fu Hua stretched his hand towards the servant for the clothing, and it was handed over to him. Fu Hia helped his mother to wipe her face as he said, "And you quarreled with grandfather? I didn''t even dare to do that even though I wasn''t unhappy."


    Fu Hee pushed his hands away and said to him. "How can I allow my precious son to be treated like this. if the person he arranged for you was better than the daughter of the Bai Family I already arranged for you, then I wouldn''t be this angry."


    Fu Hee continued talking without noticing that Fu Hua''s countenance had changed.


    "You already nned to arrange a wife for me if Grandfather hadn''t made ns earlier than you?." Fu Hua asked as ck lines appeared on his forehead.


    Fu Hee finally nced at Fu Hua to see he was angry, and then she hurried to say, "Fu Hua, I was only helping you out. I know you''re busy and don''t have the time to date, so I decided to ease your burden, is it wrong of me?."


    "What did I tell you about my private life? I repeatedly good you not to worry about my matter, but you didn''t listen to me and even went ahead to arrange a marriage for me with the Bai Family? Mother, you are too much!." Fu Hua said as he handed over the towel to her and walked away.


    "Son? Son!!!."


    No matter how Fu Hee called out, Fu Hua refused to stop in his steps.


    Fu Hee started to regret her actions. She didn''t know when she revealed that huge news to him. Now, she has managed to annoy him after he showed care towards her.


    Fu Hua has never acted like that towards her before. He was helping her to wipe the ink off her face because he thought she went against the Old man for his sake, but he only found out it was because of her selfish interest, so he left angrily.


    Fu ChunHua who has been sitting on the sofa quietly got up and nced at Fu Hee.


    "Fu Hee, I am really amazed by your capabilities at annoying the Old Man, you really have guts. Please remind me not to be foolish like you in the future." Fu ChunHua said and walked away without a care.


    She thought Fu Hee had senses, and abound know the old man didn''t like it when he was authority was challenged, but she still went ahead to anger him. She felt that she deserved more punishment.


    "Fu ChunHua, who are you calling foolish?!." Fu Hee said angrily as she tried to chase after her.


    Fu ChunHua stopped in her steps and said to her, If you are not sure of embarrassing yourself,e after me!."


    Fu Hee could only stop in her steps and watch Fu ChunHua walk away.


    "Madam, we need to clean your face." One of the servants reminded her, and the next thing she did was to p her.


    "Who gave you the permission to talk?!." Fu Hee said in anger as she three the stained clothing to her before walking away.


    The servant held the side of her face that was hit and dared to make any sound.


    After Fu Hee left their side, the other servant supported the one that was hit, and the left together.


    When Fu Hee got to her bedroom, she threw the pillows off the bed as she said in anger, "What eligible wife?! This is a big scam to my son!."


    She only remembered to wash her face when she got tired from throwing a tantrum.


    As for Jia Li, thetter had not stepped foot out of her bedroom after she left the old man''s study, and she has been unable toplete her design draft.


    She has been lost in thought since then. She had so many things that were going through her mind, and she knew her life wouldn''t be peaceful anymore because of Grandfather Fu''s decision.


    That evening, Fu Hee did not step out of her bedroom, and she didn''t bother to check on the kitchen for tonight''s dinner, as she was too angry to do so.


    Right before dinner, Butler Lu came to her meet her.


    "Butler Lu, what are you doing here? Did Father send you toe and apologize to me on his behalf? Well, I don''t want it." Fu Hee said as she rolled her eyes.


    Butler Lu didn''t find any logic in what Fu Hee had just said, but he went ahead to say the reason he came looking for her.


    "Madam, you must be wrong about it. On behalf of Master, I am here to collect the debts you owe him."


    Fu Hee was taken unaware by the demand, she even looked confused.


    "What debts are you talking about? Butler Lu, you must be mistaken? I am not owing anybody anything." Fu Hee said with a frown.


    "Madam, it seems you have forgotten that Master asked you to pay up for the expensive ink he sshed on you in his study. He is asking that you pay up before dinner time." Butler Lu reminded her with a smile.


    It would have been better if he didn''t remind her of the humiliation she faced earlier that day, but he just had to mention it to rify his point.


    Fu Hee gritted her teeth and said to him, "How much does the ink cost?."


    "$5,000" Butler Lu replied.


    "How could that ink be so expensive? This is daylight robbery." Fu Hee said with an unbelievable expression on her face.


    "Madam, the ink is indeed expensive. One small bottle costs $2,000 and there were about two and a half bottle that was sshed on you." Butler Lu exined.


    "Father sure is very calcting. Did I ask him to pour the expensive ink on me? He should be apologizing to me for humiliating me, but instead, he came to collect some debts, he sure is heartless!!!." Fu Hee said in anger.


    "Madam, I have to go and report back to master, he is waiting." Butler Lu reminded her.


    Fu Hee red at him before picking up her phone from the ss table. Then she had him call out the old man''s ount number, and she transferred her debts to him.


    Fu Hee showed him the evidence of the transfer before keeping her phone aside.


    "I got it, Madam." Butler Lu said as he waved the phone in his hand before leaving her room. It turned out he was actually holding the old man''s phone.


    "What a heartless man! He really dared to threaten me with food! Father, no matter what you do, My Fu Hua can not marry that girl!." Fu Hee said through gritted teeth.

 Chapter 92 - Divorce Not Allowed

    <h4>Chapter 92 - Divorce Not Allowed</h4>


    During Dinner, everyone could feel the tension, so nobody said a word and instead sat in silence.


    After dinner, Jia Li went to the dog kennel outside the house. During the days she was passing through grief, Grandfather Fu got her a puppy.


    Jia Li fell in love with the puppy, and will at times, bring it into the house. She usually sent it back to its house right before dinner.


    Seeing the little puppy that has grown into a dog, Jia Li felt at ease as she shared her problems with it.


    Jia Li was felt the tension during dinner, and it made her ufortable. She was more worried about the fight that might break out because of the sudden marriage the Old man brought up, rather than her happiness.


    She has always been a grateful person and would do anything to show her gratitude, so thinking about herself will alwaysest.


    Jia Li felt better after talking her heart out to the dog before walking back into the house.


    Just as she was walking through the hallway, she met someone standing right outside her door. She recognized the person from some distance and quickly made her way over.


    "Auntie?." She called out.


    Fu Hee turned around and saw Jia Li, then she smiled and said to her, "I wanted to see you, but I had no idea you were not in."


    "I''m sorry, Aunty, I went for a walk." Jia Li apologized as she opened her door and let her in.


    "Aunty, please have a sit. You wanted to see me?." Jia Li started.


    Fu Hee who was looking around her room came back to her senses and went to sit on the single couch there.


    "Jia Li, I came to see you because of an important matter, so I won''t mince my words." Fu Hee said as she nced over at her.


    Jia Li had an idea of what she wanted to talk about, but she didn''t know her stance on the matter.


    "Aunty, please go ahead." Jia Li responded as she sat on the foot of her bed.


    "I heard about Father''s intentions to get you married to my son, and I must say that I am not happy about it. This marriage doesn''t seem right, and I don''t know if I''m the only person that sees something wrong with it."


    Without allowing Jia Li to respond, she continued.


    "You are Jia Li are frompletely two different worlds, so the marriage between you two can not happen, and I hope you get that right. You know nothing about the prominent families in the City, you know nothing about the power struggles. You arepletely innocent about some matter, and I have an idea about my son''s taste in a woman, so I can say that you wouldn''t make a good wife for him. From what I have said, what do you have to say?." Fu Hee asked.


    Jia Li nced at her before looking down.


    "Aunty, to tell you the truth, I feel this marriage won''t walk as well. I was also surprised when Grandfather called me to his study and told me about it. He didn''t allow me to give an opinion about the matter and asked me to leave."


    Jia Li said as she finally fixed her gaze on her.


    "Good! I am happy you feel the same way as me. I believe grandfather just wanted to help you to secure a better future, l since you don''t have any family, hence he made this drastic decision. Since you have a clear conscience, you have to speak to Father again and ask him to cancel this marriage. Since he listens to you the most, this situation would not be different. So as a mother, I ask you to do the right thing for my son."


    After saying her piece, Fu Hee waited for Jia Li''s response.


    "Aunty there is no problem, I will seek an audience with grandfather and tell her about my opinion. And I''m sorry about the inconveniences I might have caused you." Jia Li said apologetically.


    "As long as you do the right thing, I won''t have any problem with you. I already arranged for a marriage partner for Fu Hua, and the girl and her family already know about these marriage ns, so I can''t disappoint them. The girls'' family has always been a close family friend to us, so we can not afford to disappoint them. Well since you have a good heart and you don''t have any bad intentions, I will count on your words. Good night."


    Jia Li said Goodnight to Fu Hee and walked her to the door. When she left, Jia Li bolted her four and went back to sit at the foot of her bed.


    She sighed tiredly and began to think about the whole marriage n. She could smell trouble, and she didn''t want to be entangled in the matter. She didn''t want this marriage as well.


    Jia Li has never thought about settling down since she lost her parents. And even if she wanted to get married, not to the cold-faced man that never smiles at her.


    The only time he shows a little care towards her was during the mourning period and apart from that, they would better off be strangers.


    That night, Jia Li thought a lot before finally falling asleep. While she was sleeping, some people couldn''t sleep.


    Grandfather Fu was still in his study with Butler Lu reporting something to him.


    "I knew something like this would happen. And the more she acts this way, the more I want this marriage to happen. Tell me, what is wrong with Jia Li? I see nothing wrong with making her my granddaughter-inw. I asked Fu Hee to go and settle things with the Bai family and instead, she left it and went to meet Jia Li privately, does she take my words for granted?."


    Grandfather Fu has just found out from his Butler that Fu Hee went to visit Jia Li in her bedroom right after dinner. He didn''t need anyone to interpret the remaining messages to him, as he got everything.


    If Fu Hee didn''t go to convince Jia Li to reject the marriage, what else could be the reason she went to see her sote at night.


    And knowing Fu Hee, he knew she wouldn''t give up especially eye she thought Jia Li was inferior to her son.


    Butler Lu who was silent asked for permission to speak by raising his finger.


    "What do you want to tell me now?." Grandfather asked.


    "Master, I just ask that you consider Miss Qin in this matter. You have already brought her to the limelight, and this could cause a lot of trouble and bullying if she ends up getting married to your grandson."


    "I have thought about that, and there is no going back. Jia Li is too innocent about some matter, and I need her to open her eyes and see them. If she can not endure and pass through the phase of her mother-inw troubling her, could she face the other women that have been eyeing her position as Fu Hua''s wife?." Grandfather Fu asked.


    "Master, you mean you know that your grandson has a woman by his side?." Butler Lu asked.


    "Of course, why won''t I know after making some investigations? I just found out he wasn''t lying to me, but that does that mean I will let him have his way." Grandfather Fu said as he snorted.


    "Master, if Young Master already has someone he loves, why would you force them apart? That will be a wrong move!." Butler Lu said with a little confusion.


    "I know my grandson very well, and I know he doesn''t love that woman by his side. He has only blindly allowed her to stay by his side for a long time because he probably doesn''t have the time to live another. He must have felt that she suited his taste, so he let her be by his side for so long."


    After saying this, Grandfather Fu nced at Butler Lu and continued.


    "If my grandson truly loved this woman, I would let them be. But what I can not tolerate is him, keeping her by his side because she has a high taste just like him. The investigation I made shows that he truly doesn''t love her, and he is more like managing her. Fu Hua will eventually divorce her in the future if he gets married to her, and that will be a taint on our family name. I can also tell that woman is not 100% genuine with her feelings. How can you continue to stay with a man that doesn''t love you, and hasn''t given his heart to you? This is what greedy women do, and I will not allow her to creep into this Family. Remember, Divorce is not allowed. I am also using this opportunity to break them apart from each other."


    After saying all of these, Butler Lu finally understood one of the reasons the Old man was insisting that Fu Hua gets married to Jia Li.


    ''Ah! Master, if you knew about all of these, you should have told me a long time ago.'' Butler Lu thought.


    Grandfather Fu tapped his fingers on his desk as he thought about something else.


    He made investigations not long ago and found out his grandson was truly seeing someone. And the further investigations he made, proved that he really needed to break them apart, and force Fu Hua to learn what genuine love is.

 Chapter 93 - Jia Li Gets Hit On The Face

    <h4>Chapter 93 - Jia Li Gets Hit On The Face</h4>


    The next morning, Jia Li went to meet the old man in his study.


    "Jia Li is you''re here to talk about the marriage ns, this old man would have to disappoint you. This matter has been settled since a long time ago." Grandfather Fu said to the youngdy that was sitting before him.


    "Grandfather, I know you want to get me a good match, but I don''t want to get married now, and Brother Hua doesn''t like me either. Grandfather, I beg you to think this over again." Jia Li said in a worried tone.


    "Jia Li, the first time I met you, I had already had these thoughts in my mind. None of you may be seeing the bigger picture now, but you will understand in the future. I know Fu Hee came to talk to you about this matterst night, and that''s the more reason this marriage has to happen. I don''t like it when people go against my ordered and the rules of this family. Jia Li, go back." Grandfather Du said as he waved her off.


    Jia Li didn''t know what to say again. She wanted to ask the old man if he has ever wanted to know her opinion, but she left the question.


    She nced at him, but he didn''t bother to look at her so she had no choice but to leave his study.


    "Master, don''t you think you are being too harsh on her? If she gets bullied, she may resent you in her heart. Miss Qin has always lived a peaceful life, and she will suffer a lot before she adjusts to all of these." Butler Lu said after he nced at Jia Li''s back with pity.


    "All of you will have to thank meter. Lu, don''t disturb me about this matter again. You will have to be my eyes in this house. Fu Hee will surely vent her anger on Jia Li, and I will use that opportunity to punish her. Call Fu Lei back home, we have a lot of matters to discuss."


    Grandfather Fu instructed, and Butler Lu nodded in response.


    After breakfast, Grandfather Fu officially announced his ns for Fu Hua and Jia Li to get married within a month.


    There was absolute tranquility after the announcement.


    Fu Hua''s countenance turned cold, but he didn''t say a word.


    Fu YingPei nced between his brother and Jia Li before ncing at the old man without saying anything even though he was surprised by the news.


    Fu Meixu has long found out about the news from her mother, so she was not surprised. But she was still shocked.


    Fu Ling ate his food in silence apart from the asional nces he gave.


    As for Jia Li, she had her head down the whole time. She didn''t have a good appetite, but she managed to eat a little.


    She could tell her life won''t be peaceful anymore. She was kind of regretting her decision on following the old man back to the Fu Family.


    She was thinking that maybe if she didn''t follow him, she wouldn''t have encountered today''s situation. But she knew if she didn''t follow him, her life would have been very difficult.


    Thinking of all the things the Old Man had done for her, she concluded that she must pay him back. If getting married to the Cold-faced grandson of his could pay off gal of the debts she owed him, then she was willing to listen to him.


    "I don''t see Fu Hee here, where did she go to?." Grandfather Fu asked.


    ''Grandfather, is it just now you noticed my mother isn''t here?.'' Fu YingPei thought to himself.


    You know, they all sat together, and had breakfast, and even talked for a while after breakfast, but it was only now he noticed her absence.


    "Father, Fu Hee said she wouldn''t be joining us for breakfast because she is sick." Fu ChunHua replied.


    Grandfather Fu snorted. "Who is she trying to fool by pretending to be sick?."


    Then he turned to Fu Hua to say, "Fu Hua, I want to see you in my study before you leave for work."


    Fu Hua nced at him wordlessly as he was seething with rage. He was trying really hard not to re up.


    Fu YingPei was the first person to leave the dining area, and as he was walking along the hallway, he met his mother, and she didn''t look sick at all.


    It turns out the old man knew his mother very well.


    "Mum, I thought you were sick," YingPei said with a smiling gaze.


    "Scram! Do I look sick to you? I would really be angered to death before I will get a chance to fall sick." Fu Hee said in an annoyed tone.


    "Don''t get too angry, be careful of your health." I YingPei said.


    "I don''t think I can have peace these days. Your grandfather is insisting that your brother gets married to that girl, I can''t allow that to happen." Fu Hee said with a worried stance.


    "Huh ???? don''t you think you are toote?." YingPei said with a confused look.


    He thought his motherboard already epted the old man''s decision, but since she didn''t like the idea and couldn''t refute him, she was taking her time to flyer over the situation, but who knew his mother still had ns to cancel the marriage ns.


    "What do you mean it''s toote?." Fu Hee asked with creased brows.


    "After breakfast, Grandfather announced to us that brother and Jia Li will be getting married soon, and he asked all of us to help with the preparations. And when breakfast ended, he called brother to his study, and I think it''s to finalize the marriage ns."


    "What?! What nonsense are you talking about? How did the matter progress so fast just from my absence at breakfast?." Fu Hee asked angrily.


    "I don''t know. But grandfather is really serious about this matter." YingPei said casually.


    Fu Hee looked as if a p of thunder struck her.


    "And your brother, what did he say?." She asked.


    "He didn''t say anything." Fu YingPei replied.


    "What! Don''t tell me he has given up and decided for that old man to push him around?! I won''t ept this. Last night, I had the confidence that your grandfather will think twice about this matter because I spoke to Jia Li about it, but who knew he would hasten the progress instead of slowing down! That''s right, is all of that girl''s fault. Who knows what she said to him. I just knew she had other ns. She looks so innocent, but she is capable of splitting people''s families apart. I will have to teach her a lesson she will never forget."


    After saying this, Fu Hee started walking away in anger.


    Fu YingPei was confused with what she was saying, but seeing her so angry, he guessed she was going to look for Jia Li, so he hurriedly followed after her and tried to stop her, but she remained adamant, so he could only follow her just in case she caused trouble.


    After YingPei left the dining area, Jia Li got up to leave as well. She had a ss to attend, so she had to leave for school.


    Just when she walked into the living room, Fu ChunHua and Fu Meixu caught up with her.


    Jia Li heard her name, so she stopped in her steps and turned around.


    "Jia Li, congrattions!." Fu Meixu said with a smile.


    Jia Li gave a bitter smile, so Fu ChunHua walked up to her with a smile as she took her hands.


    "Don''t be sad, everything will be alright. This is a thing of joy, so what''s there to be sad about?."


    "Yes, yes, Jia Li, don''t be worried about my cousin not treating you well. He might be cold, but I''m sure he won''t be mean to you." Fu Meixu chipped in with a smile.


    Jia Li didn''tment on the marriage matter, instead, she said to them.


    "Aunty, I will have to leave for school now, I have a ss this morning."


    "Oh, okay, then, you can be on your way." Fu ChunHua said with a smile and she released her hands.


    "Thank you!."


    Jia Li had just said a word of thanks when she heard hurried footsteps. It distracted them, so the three of them turned around to have a look.


    ncing over and seeing Jia Li, Fu YingPei wanted to pull his mother''s hands, but his phone rang at that moment, so he got a little distracted.


    Seeing Fu Heeing towards her in anger, Jia Li felt that something was wrong, and just as she called out to her, "Auntie?" a tight pnded on her left cheek.


    "Mum!"


    "Fu Hee!!!"


    "Aunty!!"


    The three people called out to Fu Hee at the same time.


    YingPei rushed over to hold his mother back when he saw she still had the intention of hitting Jia Li again.


    Jia Li held the side of her face that has just been pped as tears dropped down from her eyes.


    "Let me go! I want to teach this girl a lesson! With that innocent face as a facade, she is really trying to deeply attach herself to the Fu Family without letting go! How dare she to have eyes on my son?! What a little gold digger!!!" Fu Hee screamed at Jia Li as she struggled with Fu YingPei.


    "Fu Hee! You have gone too far! How could you p her, what right do you have to hit her?!" Fu ChunHua asked as she angrily pointed at her, while Fu Meixu pulled Jia Li to her side andforted her.


    "I have the right to hit her back to her senses for having ideas about my son! And you, what right do you have to talk back at me?!." Fu Hee asked angrily.


    "Mum!!" YingPei called out as he pulled his mother forcefully.


    "What is going on here?!." Grandfather Fu asked angrily as he nced over at them.


    He suddenly appeared with Fu Hua standing beside him, and nobody knew when they came over.

 Chapter 94 - Grandfather Fu Removes Fu Hee From Her Mistress Position

    <h4>Chapter 94 - Grandfather Fu Removes Fu Hee From Her Mistress Position</h4>


    "What is going on here?!." Grandfather Fu asked angrily as he nced over at them.


    He suddenly appeared with Fu Hua standing beside him, and nobody knew when they came over.


    Everywhere suddenly quietened down, and all eyes nced over to Grandfather Fu''s side.


    "Father, look, Fu Hee pped Jia Li on the face."? Fu ChunHua reported as she stared at Fu Hee angrily.


    "What did you say, Fu Hee, hit Jia Li?." Grandfather Fu asked in a stern tone as he quickly made his way over.


    Suddenly, Fu Meixu eximed. "OMG! Jia Li, your face ispletely swollen.


    Jia Li had tears streaming down her face as she tried to hide the side of her face that was swollen.


    Fi Hua frowned as he walked over with Grandfather Fu.


    Fu Hee was scared when she saw the Old man and the ugly expression on his face. She didn''t know he was still at the dining area, or she wouldn''t have been so rash. But it was toote to turn back time.


    "Jia Li let me see your face!." Grandfather Fu said to Jia Li. It was not that he didn''t believe that Fu Hee pped her, but he was too concerned about her at the moment and wanted to know the extent she was hurt.


    Jia Li slowly removed her hand from her face, and a red palm print could be seen on her swollen face.


    Fu YingPei was shocked to see the injury. He knew his mother hit hard, but he didn''t know it was hard enough to cause such damage.


    Grandfather Fu was furious when he saw the injury on Jia Li''s face. He gave out instructions to Meixu and YingPei


    "Meixu, take Jia Li to her room. YingPei, call the doctor over."


    Right at that moment, Butler Lu came over, and Grandfather Fu gave him an instruction before he left.


    "Lu, contact Jia Li''s VC and help her take 2 days off from school. With the injury she has, how can she go to school?."


    Now that the four of them (Grandfather Fu, Fu Hua, Fu Hee, and Fu ChunHua) were left alone, Grandfather Fu turned to give Fu Hee a furious nce.


    "You dared to hit Jia Li right under my nose! You havepletely gone against me! You break the rules, and you have forgotten your role in this family! Let me make things clear to you, you no longer have the right to make decisions in this family. Since you''re turning into a shrew, take your time recuperating."


    Turning to nce at Fu ChunHua, he said to her, "ChunHua, you will yar over Fu Hee''s previous position as the Mistress of this house. And don''t you get any ideas and continue to take care of Jia Li as you used to."


    "Thank you, Father!." Fu ChunHua replied with a smile the moment she got over her shock, as she didn''t believe the old man would directly remove Fu Hee from her position as the mistress of the Fu family, and hand over the baton to her.


    "What?! Father, you are removing me from my position as the mistress of this family because of a little mistake that I made?!." Fu Hee asked angrily.


    Fu Hua frowned as well for he thought the punishment given to his mother was too much, but he didn''t voice his thoughts.


    He knew his mother went too far, and he will never support her actions. Now, she had enraged the old man.


    "You still have the guts to say you onlymitted a Mall mistake?! You are so heartless! Think of Jia Li as your daughter. If she lost her parents one day and went to some other people''s house to stay and she was maltreated like this, could you bear it from heaven?! See how mean you were to her, and by hitting her, you have also hit my face! In this family, you don''t have any right to make any important decisions. You can only make decisions for yourself like whether you should go to the beauty spa or not!."


    "Father, you are going to such a great extent for an outsider?!." Fu Hee asked angrily.


    "You still dare to call Jia Li an outsider? It looks like you haven''t learned from your punishment. Let me sound this as thest warning to you. If you ever dare to raise your hands on Jia Li again, I will immediately send you out of this house!."


    "What?!." Fu Hee eximed in surprise, but this time around, she didn''t get a response. Grandfather Fu walked away.


    As Fu Hua was trying to follow after him, Fu Hee blocked him.


    "Fu Hua, you are not going to say a word of favor for me?." She asked.


    "And why should I do that?." Fu Hua asked with creased brows with his hands in his trouser pockets.


    "Do you still need to ask, I am your mother!." Fu Hee said anxiously as she grabbed his hand, but he dodged her.


    "Because you''re my mother, I should support you even when you''re wrong?!." Fu Hua said before walking away.


    Fu Hee could only fold her fists as she red towards the side he left.


    Grandfather Fu went to see Jia Li in her room. He apologized to her and promised her that such a situation will not happen again.


    "I have taken two days off from school on your behalf. Just focus on recuperating, the doctor will be here soon."


    Jia Li nodded as she used the handkerchief he handed to her to wipe her tears.


    Jia Li had a lot of grievances in her heart, but she didn''t know how to vent them.


    As Grandfather Fu was still consoling her, Fu Hua walked in.


    "Miss Qin, I am sorry for what my mother did to you." Fu Hua said in apology.


    Jia Li nodded without saying anything.


    Grandfather Fu wanted to ask Fu Hua why he was still addressing Jia Li so formerly, But he refrained from doing that as this was not the right time to scold him.


    When the doctor arrived with Butler Lu, Grandfather Fu and Fu Hua left for the study.


    In the Study, These two stubborn men with cold faces talked for a while, and the result of their discussion was very simple.


    Grandfather Fu put pressure on Fu Hua and asked him to tidy up with whatever he was doing as get married to Jia Li, as he was only giving him 2 weeks.


    Fu Hua didn''t want to argue with him, as he was runningte for work, so he left directly, but it was not like he was going to do as the old manmanded.


    Worsees to worst, he would have to leave the Fu Family.


    Just like that, a week passed by.


    This Friday, Fu Hua came back from work veryte as he had a lot of work to do in the office.


    He took a shower and dressed in casual clothes before sitting on the office chair in his bedroom. He picked up his phone and failed his girlfriend''s number.


    It had been several days since thest spoke.


    Fu Hua was expecting that Feng Alix should be back by now, as tee time she had given has long passed, but unexpectedly, she wasn''t back in the country, and she has not called to say anything to him.


    The time given to him by his grandfather was fast approaching, and because he had confidence that his girlfriend woulde back soon, he has been quite rxed.


    But right now, he had every reason to be worried.


    After what felt like forever, Feng Alix finally answered his call.


    "Hello, Fu Hua, how are you doing? Do you miss me? I missed you so much, but the workload has been so much for me, so I haven''t found time to call. How is everything going?."


    "It looks like you have been very busy as you haven''t bothered to reach out in several days." Fu Hua said in a cold tone.


    He wasn''t really bothered if Feng Alix reached out or not, his anger was that since she traveled, he had been the one doing most of the phone calls.


    Sensing that he was angry with her, Feng Alix tried to make him happy by apologizing.


    Fu Hua wasn''t willing to listen to her, so he directly asked. "Alix, the time you gave me has long passed, when are you nning toe back?."


    "Fu Hua, I forgot to tell you an important matter. Inded a huge job. I get to feature in a Hollywood blockbuster movie. And even though I only have a total of 3 scenes, this exposure is more than good enough for the next level in my career." Feng Alix revealed in an excited tone.


    Fu Hua was not in a good mood as he guessed where all of these were leading to, so he asked again, "When will you be back?."


    "Ehm... give me 2 months." Feng Alix said slowly, as she knew Fu Hua was not happy. At first, she thought he would be happy and proud of her with the good news, but to her disappointment, he was very angry.


    "It''s alright, take your time!" Fu Hua said and directly ended the call.


    Feng Alix waited for him to shout or scold her, but his reply gave her a little surprise, but she didn''t mind it at all.


    She might be thinking that she could call and cate himter since it has always worked, but what she didn''t know was that the future, had a lot in stock for her.

    <h4>Chapter 95 - Fu Hua Agrees To Marry Jia Li, But With Some Conditions</h4>


    "Was that Fu Hua? Is he angry?." Feng Alix''s manager inquired.


    Keeping her phone on the table, Feng Alix replied, "I think he is angry, but he will be fine when he calms down for a while, and after I coax him."


    "Why don''t you exin things to him and even go to visit ande back before your next ad shoots?." Her manager suggested.


    "No, I can''t. I''m not ready to face whatever ns he has for us back in the country." Feng Alix rejected the idea immediately.


    "What kind of ns is that?."


    "He wants us to get married before the end of this year. I don''t want to get married yet, so I will try to drag this for as long as I can." Feng Alix replied as she crossed her legs.


    "What?! Mr. Fu already has such big ns of settling down with you, so why are you not grabbing the opportunity and dreams of every woman?!" The manager asked in surprise.


    "I just found such a huge opportunity with Hollywood, and you want me to throw everything away for marriage? No, I can''t do that! And besides, I am 28 years old, and this is already a rare opportunity for me to get this kind of exposure. I''m sure Fu Hua will understand." Feng Alix said without a care.


    "But you just told Mr. Fu you would be back in 3 months, does it mean you were lying to him?." Her manager asked with creased brows.


    "I did not lie. I will eventually have to go back to talk things out with him." Feng Alix said.


    "Alix, you know you don''t have to trick him. He must have felt so disappointed since you already made a change of ns without telling him."


    "Enough of making me feel guilty! What I did was the right thing. If I don''t do things this way, he will give up on me and find another woman, so I have to drag things out. I will call him a few dayster to exin things to him." Feng Alix said in an annoyed tone.


    Her manager really wanted to tell her she could not eat her cake and have it. She wanted to let her know she could not have everything, but she didn''t dare to say another word in fear of infuriating her.


    After terminating the call, Fu Hua kept his phone on the table. Deep down in his heart, he was so angry and disappointed with Feng Alix.


    He had ns with this woman, but a little fame made her forget she wasn''t working alone. She went ahead to abandon the ns they heard as fame was more important to her, and she didn''t care to say anything to him if he hadn''t called.


    Fu Hua''s face was cold as he was emitting cold air from his body.


    He has just discovered that his girlfriend took Hollywood fame more important than taking a step forward in their rtionship.


    It was not like he nned to cage her once he married her. He was never one to tie a woman down, so why would she n things out for herself without letting him know since they havee this far?


    Did she or did she not love him?


    This was the question Fu Hua thought about a few seconds ago, but surprisingly, he was no longer interested in finding out the answer.


    He balled his palms into fists as he deeply thought about his life and did a self-reflection.


    After thinking for almost an hour anding to w conclusion about his life, he decided to give up on Feng Alix.


    Although her physical appearance might still be what he might want in a woman, it was no longer enough for him.


    Fu Hua decided to marry someone that wouldn''t stress his life, someone that wasn''t after fame like Feng Alix, but there was no time to start searching for that person because of the deadline his Grandfather gave to him.


    And he wouldn''t want to marry someone he doesn''t know for at least, six months, and there was no time for that, so he dropped that idea.


    Thinking of the woman his old man had arranged for him, Fu Hua shut his eyes and fell asleep.


    The next morning, before breakfast, Fu Hua went for a morning jog before making his way towards Jia Li''s bedroom. When he got in front of her door, he knocked gently and waited for a response.


    Jia Li who was still sleeping was woken up by the sound of someone iing on her door. He quietly got out of bed and went to open the door.


    She was surprised to see the person standing right outside her door. She thought she wasn''t seeing clearly, so she rubbed her eyes and look properly, only to see that Indifferent look on the tall handsome man.


    ncing at her face to see how red it still was, Fu Hua frowned before looking straight into her eyes.


    "Miss Qin, I have something to say to you. Please get dressed, I will be waiting for you." Fu Hua said. before disappearing.


    If Jia Li still wasn''t in her nightdress, he wouldn''t mind waking into her room to talk. But it was inappropriate, so to avoid rumors, he had to wait till she was properly dressed.


    When he mentioned her getting dressed, Jia Li nced at herself, and almost screamed in shock.


    She wasn''t wearing any bra, so her nipples were sticking out, but she was still kind of lucky that her nightdress was so thin, otherwise, she would have been embarrassed.


    "Jia Li, you''re such an idiot!." Jia Li scolded herself as she closed the door and walked back into her room with a frown.


    She has already had an ample chest, and no matter how you looked at it, there was nothing that couldn''t depict the fact that she was trying to seduce Fu Hua.


    Jia Li quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face. She proceeded to take a quick shower before changing into a casual dress.


    She applied the medication on her face while thinking of the reason Fu Hua wanted to see her.


    ''Did hee to threaten me about the marriage? What do I do?.'' Jia Li thought?


    Jia Li nced at herself in the standing mirror and saw her pitiful she looked. She sighed to herself before moving her eyes to her water-fall ck-ink hair.


    Her hair was very long, shiny, and full, then coupled with the fact that it was well taken care of, this could be another thing that can be used to seduce a man.


    Jia Li looked so beautiful with her hair falling behind her, but sadly, she never lets people see her that way.


    Well, apart from the time she goes to the hair salon with Fu Meixu, nobody in the Fu Family has seen Jia Li''s hair like that. And then, the servant that usually attends to her, has seen her hair fall a couple of times.


    While sleeping, she covers hair with a hair bo, to avoid it from breaking.


    Jia Li finished quickly and walked towards her room door to open it, only to see her servant standing there.


    "Miss, the first young master asked me to bring you to him." The servant reported.


    "Oh... okay!." Jia Li responded before following after her.


    The servant took Jia Li to a ce she rarely goes to in the house. It was the library.


    Standing in front of the door, her servant said to her, "Miss, you can go in."


    Jia Li opened the door and walked in. She walked straight before taking a left turn, and she saw Fu Hua sitting there with his gaze on her.


    Jia Li became suddenly nervous as she approached him.


    "Miss Qin, please take a sit. And please be at ease, I''m not going to bite you. I didn''t want us to talk in any of our rooms, because it will be inappropriate. And any other ce in this house, may not befortable for you because of the attention of there, so I chose this ce." Fu Hua exined.


    Jia Li sat down as she thought, ''Is he exining things to me?!''


    Fu Hua noticed that Jia Li was still uneasy, so he went straight to the point.


    "I wanted to see to talk about the marriage."


    Jia Li''s heart skipped a beat, but she was too nervous to raise her head.


    "I hate being controlled or forced to do things, especially the ones out of my will. For this marriage, I was strongly against it, but my grandfather continued pushing me to it. I have decided to get married to you." Fu Hua said.


    Jia Li thought she didn''t hear well and wanted him to repeat what he just said, but he didn''t. She was still in shock as Fu Hua continued to speak.


    "We don''t love each other, so things will be easier to handle as long as we don''t interfere in each other''s business. I can''t promise you love, but I will take care of you. We are also not going to have a wedding, only the signing of our marriage certificate will do. When I have spoken to my grandfather, I will speak to you again." Fu Hua said to her.

 Chapter 96 - I Promise To Treat Her Well

    <h4>Chapter 96 - I Promise To Treat Her Well</h4>


    Jia Li was still in a daze when Fu Hua walked out of the library. She couldn''t believe what she just heard.


    ''Fu Hua agreed to the marriage?''


    ''What could make him agree to the marriage, did grandfather pressure him?''


    Jia Li had a series of unanswered questions, but she didn''t have anyone to answer them. She sighed to herself before leaving the library.


    After breakfast, Fu Hua told Grandfather that he had something important to talk with him about.


    Fu Hee sat up immediately as she nced at her Fu Hua. She was thinking if it was about negotiating with the old man to cancel the marriage.


    It was that she would be very happy.


    Jia Li nced at Fu Hua before bowing her head. She knew what he wanted to talk about because he had already told her beforehand.


    Grandfather Fu nced at Fu Hua without saying anything. He too had his thoughts. He was thinking if Fu Hua asked him to cancel the marriage between him and Jia Li, he would really teach him a great lesson.


    When Grandfather Fu left the dining table, Fu Hua followed him.


    "Brother, I will leave before you then." Fu YingPei said.


    "Mmm go ahead." Fu Hua said before turning away.


    Seeing that grandfather was gone, Jia Li stood up to leave, but Fu ChunHua called out to her.


    "Jia Li, how is your face now, is it still painful? I can see it''s still a bit red and a little swollen." Fu ChunHua asked.


    Jia Li caressed her left cheek before replying. "Aunty, I''m fine now."


    Fu Hee snorted when Jia Li left.


    "Aiyah! poor child! If I was her mother who is already in heaven, I would not spare anybody that bullies my innocent daughter."


    Fu ChunHua said with a sigh as she got up to leave. Fu Meixu followed her as well.


    "Fu ChunHua! Were you referring to me just now?!" Fu Hee asked with an ugly facial expression.


    "Did I call anybody''s name? No, I didn''t. But the guilty would always retaliate." Fu ChunHua said with a smile.


    Fu Meixu left her mother and walked away. She has an outdoor shoot this morning, so she had no time to bicker with them.


    "Fu ChunHua, who do you think you are to talk to me that way?!" Fu Hee asked angrily.


    "As the Mistress of the Fu Family, I have every right to caution the evildoers." Fu ChunHua said with a taunting smile.


    Fu YingPei nced at the two women and walked away. He was not ready to stop any of them from quarreling. He was already tired of seeing them bicker every day.


    "What mistress of the Fu Family you old bitch!" Fu Hee said through gritted teeth.


    If it was before, Fu ChunHua would get angry because Fu Hee addressed her as an old woman. But this time around, sheughed over it.


    "At least, I am the Mistress of the Fu Family. Ah! Don''t you think it should remain this way? The oldest should hold the title, that should be the proper way!"


    After saying that, Fu ChunHua chuckled and walked away, leaving the fuming Fu Hee behind.


    Fu Hee picked up a teacup from the dining table to break, but she remembered the rules and kept it back in anger.


    "What a nuisance!" She said before walking away.


    The servants that were hiding from her, came out of the shell. They didn''t know what was wrong with their former Mistress, and the reason she has a change of character.


    To them, it was as if she swapped roles with their current Mistress, Fu ChunHua.


    The servants immediately cleaned up the dining area and went to do their next chores.


    "I agree to marry Jia Li, but under three conditions. The news of our marriage will be hidden. There will be no wedding, only signing our marriage certificate, and she will not appear in any public functions with me. If you agree to them, I will immediately register my marriage with her."


    After grandfather Fu heard Fu Hua''s conditions to get married to Jia Li, his brows were furrowed, and he was not okay with it at all.


    "You want to hide her from the public, is she your Mistress?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    "Grandfather, those are my conditions. As for other things, I will take care of them. I already promised to take good care of Jia Li, and I will not short-change her in other ways." Fu Hua said, staying rooted in his decision.


    "How can you treat that poor girl like that? That will be unfair to her! When I asked you two to get married, I didn''t mean for you to treat her this way. You''re not even thinking of giving her a proper wedding!" Grandfather Fu said in an angry tone.


    "That''s all I can give her now. I promise to treat her well, but as for the perfect wedding, I can''t give it to her." Fu Hua still insisted.


    Grandfather Fu waved his hand, asking him to leave.? And after he left, Grandfather Fu began to ponder over the matter.


    Butler Lu who was standing at the side chipped in a few words.


    "Master, I think you need to approve of their wedding now, this is already the best the young master can offer at the moment. I''m sure when he falls in love with Miss Qin, he would change his mind. But for now, we have to grasp this opportunity and get them married before he had a change of heart."


    "You also think I should approve his conditions?" Grandfather Fu asked with his gaze on him.


    "Yes, Master! We don''t know what came over the young master for him to suddenly agree to the marriage, you have to take this opportunity and get them married before he changes his mind." Butler Lu said.


    Grandfather Fu sighed and said, "I have wronged Jia Li. But as long as Fu Hua keeps his word and takes good care of her, I won''t interfere in their rtionship."


    So, with this conclusion, Jia Li and Fu Hua''s fate were sealed.


    Grandfather Fu called Jia Li to speak with her, and he found out that Fu Hua had already told her about his conditions.


    He knew Jia Li will not mention her grievances if she had one, and that was true. Jia Li was already happy there wouldn''t have to be a falling out between Grandfather Fu and Fu Hua.


    Grandfather Fu was a little at ease seeing that Jia Li didn''t bear a grudge against him.


    When Fu Hua came back from work, he spoke more in detail with Grandfather Fu, and an announcement about his marriage with Jia Li was made during dinner, and a date for the collection of their marriage certificate was fixed.


    Fu Hee couldn''t sit tight. She was so angry. She didn''t believe her son would agree to this, but when she saw the neutral look on his face, she knew he had agreed to it.


    Fu Hee was tempted to voice her thoughts, but what Grandfather Fu said next, immediately shut her up.


    "If there is anyone that doesn''t agree to this, just continue to keep your thoughts to yourself if you don''t want to be punished."


    Once they left the dining room, Fu Hee followed Fu Hua. Fu Hua got annoyed with her following him, so he stopped in his steps and turned to ask...


    "Why are you following me?"


    "Fu Hua, did you ept to marry that girl?" Fu Hee asked.


    "Does it look like anyone can force me to do what I don''t want?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Since when did your taste reduce in quality? If you don''t have time to find a woman, what am I here for? I can help you." Fu Hee said with creased brows.


    "Mother, this is thest time I will be kind to you concerning matters about my private life. Please do not interfere with my life unless I ask you to."


    After saying this, Fu Hua walked away.


    Fu Hee was shocked at first, and then secondster, she looked pretty annoyed.


    Since the matter was settled, Fu Hua and Jia Li would get their marriage certificate on Friday.


    Since it was three days to the time they would get their marriage certificate, Grandfather Fu asked Fu Hua to take Jia Li out and get to know her more.


    Fu Hua found it a bit annoying because he had work to do during the weekend so he didn''t have time for a date.


    Before leaving for work on Friday, Fu Hua got Jia Li''s phone number from Grandfather Fu, so he could call herter.


    Fu Hua finished work on time and called Jia Li on phone. Jia Li didn''t have his number, and so didn''t know who was calling.


    She has just finished her ss for the day when the call came to her phone.


    "Hello?" Jia Li answered the call.


    "It''s me, Fu Hua. Wait outside your school gate, I will be there in a few minutes."


    When she heard the cold familiar male voice, Jia Li was surprised, but she responded to him immediately.


    "Okay."


    After the call ended, Jia Li wondered why he wasing to her school.

 Chapter 97 - First Date

    <h4>Chapter 97 - First Date</h4>


    Just like he said, a few minutester, Fu Hua appeared outside Jia Li''s school gate in his red sports car.


    When Jia Li saw the car, she felt it was familiar and took small steps towards it.


    Fu Hua honked and rolled down the car''s window. He had a pair of sunsses ????? over his eyes.


    Jia Li recognized him and hurried in her steps. She opened the front passenger door and got in, shutting the door behind her.


    "Good afternoon." Jia Li greeted, but she didn''t receive any response for her greeting.


    "Put on your seatbelt." Fu Hua instructed as he rolled up the car windows and secured his seatbelt.


    Jia Li secured her seatbelt, and before she could react, she heard Fu Hua asking her what she would like for lunch.


    "What would you like to eat for lunch?"


    "Are we not going home?" Jia Li asked with a little bit of confusion.


    Fu Hua nced at her for a moment before moving back his gaze to the roads without saying anything.


    Jia Li felt she asked a stupid question because if they were going straight to the house, he wouldn''t have asked what she wanted to eat. So, guessing he was taking her out for lunch, she replied in a tiny voice.


    "I will eat anything apart from seafood." Jia Li responded.


    Fu Hua didn''t say anything. He turned up the music and drove them straight to a high-end restaurant.


    When they walked into the restaurant, Jia Li knew there were levels to wealth. She couldn''t believe she was going to eat there.


    Someone came to lead them to the room Fu Hua had reserved.


    Jia Li was a little tensed when they got to the room. She had no idea why he would book a private room just for them to have lunch.


    There was just a sofa capable of carrying or more like housing three to four people, and a round ss table in the room.


    Seeing the interior looks of the room, Jia Li could tell how much it costs to get that exquisite design. Since she started living with the Fu''s, she could estimate costs of expensive things and she could tell the differences between a fake and a real product.


    "What would you like to have, go ahead and make your choice." Fu Hua said as he handed the menu the waiter passed to him.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li said politely as she took the menu from him. She nced through it and could only see fancy names there. The number of times she went to a fancy restaurant, can be counted on one hand.


    She really couldn''t make out the food from their fact names.


    Seeing her confused look, Fu Hua took the menu from her. "Don''t bother, I will make the order myself."


    Jia Li felt grateful.


    Fu Hua made orders for both of them before sending the waiter away.


    As the waiter left, Jia Li could feel the awkward silence. She didn''t know why Fu Hua wasn''t saying anything and was pressing his phone. As for her, she couldn''t just bring up a topic, right?


    Jia Li was thankful the waiter returned a few minutester with their order.


    After serving them, the waiters left. Jia Li discovered the dishes Fu Hua ordered for them were the same.


    Finally putting his phone away, Fu Hua said to Jia Li, "Eat". Well, it was more like amand.


    Jia Li only started eating when she saw him pick up his cutlery.


    Halfway through their lunch, Fu Hua asked, "Do you like it?"


    "Yeah."


    "Eat more." Fu Hua said.


    Although Jia Li liked the food, she was too nervous to eat properly. She was picking her food a little at a time, and Fu Hua finally noticed it.


    Knowing she was nervous, he said to her, "You should eat well. Don''t be nervous that we are alone, I''m not going to eat you up!"


    Jia Li almost choked on her food. She hurriedly picked up the napkin and covered her mouth with it as she turned away from the food.


    Jia Li coughed into the napkin, and when she felt better, she turned back to the food only to see a ss of water in her sight.


    "Thank you!" She said as she took the ss of water from Fu Hua.


    After eating, Fu Hua started making small talks.


    "Don''t think too much that I brought you to a private room to eat, I don''t have any other ideas, I just like my privacy when I want it. And besides, I thought you would feel morefortable if it''s just the two of us."


    "Oh!" Jia Li mouthed.


    "Since we are getting married soon, It will be good if we know a little about each other. Tell me a little about your childhood and why you chose to study Fashion and Designing." Fu Hua asked.


    Jia Li was a bit surprised that he would ask to know about her childhood, but she still responded.


    "Mmmm... my childhood was very simple, just me and my mum, and then my grandpa and his dog. I was the only child of my parents, so I received a lot of love, care, and attention from them. I was allowed to make my own choices like my course of study and my parents always supported me. I have always had a thing for good clothes and I liked to style myself and pick my dresses a lot when I was a child, so I got the inspiration to study what I liked."


    "You liked to style yourself as a child, but I don''t see you doing that anymore"


    ncing at her, Fu Hua continued, "What happened, why did you stop styling yourself?"


    ''What an awkward moment'' Jia Li thought.


    "I... I... as I grew up, I decided to focus more on designing than dolling myself up."


    "Okay, good! Since we are going to get married, then I have to tell you this. I like women that look good in what they wear. I have a great taste for fashion, and I appreciate women that look good in clothes." Fu Hua revealed.


    ''Is he telling me that he would want me to dress well to his taste?'' Jia Li thought, but too bad she couldn''t voice it out.

 Chapter 98 - Fu Hua Revealed He Had A Girlfriend

    <h4>Chapter 98 - Fu Hua Revealed He Had A Girlfriend</h4>


    "What...what about you, can I know a little about your childhood, and a little about your adulthood?" Jia Li asked after mustering up the courage to do so.


    "There is nothing special about my life, but since you asked, I will tell you a little about it. I grew up under my grandparents'' care and discipline. At that time, my father was based in another city because of the military posting. My mother couldn''t bear to stay away from him for so long, so she let my grandparents take care of me and she went to join my father. Before my grandmother died, she handed FJ to me, because I had a simr vision to hers, so that''s how I came to be the owner of FJ."


    Hearing his childhood story from him, Jia Li came to understand the reason he is obedient to Grandfather Fu.


    Nearing towards the end of their conversation, Fu Hua revealed to her.


    "I have a girlfriend with who I still haven''t ended things with and that''s because she is not in the country. But you don''t need to worry about it, I will take care of matters at my end."


    Jia Li was surprised to learn of this. She never knew the man sitting beside her, had a girlfriend. She was thinking, ''Did I break up a couple?''


    As if knowing what she was thinking because her facial expression said it all, Fu Hua said to her, "I didn''t decide to end things with her because of you, I did that for another reason, so you don''t have to worry about being the third party."


    Jia Li felt at ease, otherwise, she would have been uneasy, and might even go to have a word with Grandfather Fu as she couldn''t bear toe between another person''s rtionship.


    "Oh!" Jia Li muttered under her breath.


    "Would you like to go somewhere?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Mmmm... no." Jia Li replied. Right now, she couldn''t bear to go anywhere with him, because she was notfortable.


    She felt hecked other important facial expressions apart from the neutral and frosty look. With all his cold countenance, how could she cope if they went to some ces together?


    No, she was okay with the lunch she had with him.


    "I will send you back home first." Fu Hua said as he got to his feet and Jia Li immediately followed.


    The drive back to the Fu House was quiet until Fu Hua broke the silence.


    "Would you like me to get anything for you?" He asked with his eyes fixed on the road.


    Jia Li felt that question came out of the blue because she wasn''t expecting it.


    "No, thanks. I''m fine." Jia Li said as she rejected him in a polite matter.


    "I know this is awkward for you, but feel free to tell me what you need, I will get it for you?" Fu Hua said.


    Looks like he doesn''t mind spending his money on her.


    When they arrived at the Fu House, Fu YingPei had just got out of his car. He sighted the red car and decided to wait.


    He was surprised to see Jia Li step out from his brother''s car. His was mouth was agape in shock, and as if that wasn''t enough, he saw his brother step out from his car and said to Jia Li...


    "Jia Li, you left your bag in the car." Fu Hua said as he raised the backpack ???? so Jia Li could see it.


    "I''m sorry, thank you!" Jia Li said as she went over to his side to take the bag from him.


    Fu Hua locked his car and when they two turned around, they saw Fu YingPei standing in front of them.


    "Wow! Brother, this is such a big surprise to see you went out with Sister-inw." Fu YingPei said in an excited tone.


    When those words left his mouth, both Jia Li and Fu Hua nced at him.


    Jia Li gave him a shy nce before lowering his head and walking away in a hurry. As for Fu Hua, he gave him a cold nce.


    "Are you done ying?" He asked.


    "I didn''t mean to send her off. I didn''t know she would feel embarrassed." Fu YingPei replied with a stunned look. He truly didn''t know Jia Li would feel embarrassed because of what he said.


    "You think her face is as thick as yours?" Fu Hua asked before walking away.


    Fu YingPei who was a bit lost recovered himself and immediately chased after him.


    "Wow! brother, when did you start getting defensive of Jia Li?" He asked as he caught up with him.


    "If you continue to be a pest, I will take it that you have less work to do in your department, and I will help you to keep your remaining days upied." Fu Hua threatened.


    Fu YingPei instinctively shut his mouth. When did he everin that he wasn''t getting enough tasks to do at work?


    When Jia Li walked into her bedroom, she took out her notes from her bag ???? before keeping it away. Walking back to her bed, she removed her jacket andid on her bed with her back against it.


    Thinking back to the ''date'' she had with Fu Hua, she would rather spend her time at home, than going out with him and being on tenterhooks every minute, which is mentally stressful.


    It''s not like she had any negative thoughts towards Fu Hua, but the problem is that to her, Fu Hua was cold, and she was used to seeing that side of him.


    She preferred him that way to the other character she saw at the restaurant today. She knew it would take a while for them to get used to each other, and she felt there was a long road ahead of them.


    Thinking about his girlfriend, Jia Li was a bit worried, since he hasn''t yet ended things with her.


    But she understood he couldn''t just break up with her over the phone till she is back in the country.


    Sighing to herself, Jia Li decided to stop thinking about it and decided to think more of the future she would have with Fu Hua.

    Today, was a huge turning point in the life of Jia Li and Fu Hua, as today being Monday, was the day they would be signing their marriage certificate.


    Jia Li was very nervous today. When she woke up, she almost forgot that she was getting married to Fu Hua.


    She woke up a bitte because she sleptte. Someone''s call reminded her of something, but it was toote for her to do anything.


    Li Huan called Jia List night, and they spoke for a while. During the call, Jia Li was reminded of the crush she had on him.


    This one year, they were both able to tell that they liked each other, so their conversations were no longer awkward.


    Jia Li liked Li Huan and wanted to end up with him. But she forgot about it with the two weeks gaps they didn''tmunicate.


    Li Huan told her that he was working pretty hard because a promotion was open in their office, so he wouldn''t be able tomunicate with her for a while.


    With all of these and the pressure, it was possible for Jia Li to forget about her future with Li Huan, because she was more concerned about not disappointing Grandfather Fu.


    Late at night, Li Huan phoned, and they talked for a while. He told her he was done working for the promotion and was waiting for the result.


    While talking with him, Jia Li couldn''t bring herself to tell him she was getting married. Li Huan mentioned something about them dating once he secures the position, but he did that in a roundabout matter.


    After their conversation ended, Jia Li was so restless and she sleptte because she had a lot of things she was thinking about.


    If her servant didn''te to wake her up and to remind her of what day it was today, she would have forgotten and continued sleeping.


    "Miss, you have to get up, breakfast is ready, and it''s been served." The servant said anxiously.


    "What?! Oh no!" Jia Li said as she hurried out of bed. Right now, she was starting to regret the reason she slept sotest night, and right now, everybody would be waiting for her at the breakfast table.


    ''Would they think she was rude?'' Jia Li thought as she rushed into the washroom.


    Ten minutester, Jia Li walked into her closet to get dressed. I don''t think she knows that the outfit she was putting on, wasn''t right for the asion, or maybe she didn''t have the time to pick a dress.


    Jia Li brushed her hair before packing it up in an updo, and then, she hurried out of the room and made her way to the dining table.


    She was just in time to hear Grandfather Fu asking about her.


    "Grandfather, I''m sorry I''mte." Jia Li said in a soft tone as she bowed to the Old man.


    Grandfather Fu nced at her with a gentle smile and asked her to go to her seat. He was not offended in any way, unlike Fu Hee.


    "Ah! Grandfather, I know why Jia Li woke upte, she must have been thinking about her marriage with cousin today." Fu Meixu said as she chuckled softly.


    Fu ChunHua and Fu YingPei smiled as well. Grandfather chuckled a bit and then asked Fu Meixu not to tease Jia Li.


    Fu Hee gritted her teeth and wanted to voice her opinion, but Fu Lei held her hand down. Fu Lei had arrived the afternoon of the previous day.


    Fu Hee had hope that her husband would settle things with the old man, but to her disappointment, he didn''t bring the matter up. It was as if he was in a taut understanding with the old man.


    Fu Hee nced at Fu Lei. She was pretty annoyed, but it was too bad that she couldn''t give him a piece of her mind.


    Fu Hua nced at Jia Li to see her eating with her head down. But when his eyes nced at her clothes, his brows were creased.


    He was wondering if Jia Li nned to follow him out in that kind of dress or if she would change her clothes after breakfast.


    Fu Hua stopped thinking about it and ate his food.


    After breakfast, Grandfather Fu said to Fu Hua,


    "When you two return, there will be a small banquet to celebrate your marriage, so don''t stay outte."


    Jia Li was grateful the breakfast ended on time, as she was already nervous from everyone sending nces her way.


    "Jia Li,e with me." Fu Hua said as he called Jia Li out after breakfast.


    Jia Li was indeed surprised by the way he addressed her. He was no longer calling her, ''Miss Qin''.


    Jia Li quickly followed him out. When they got to a quiet ce, Fu Hua stopped in his steps and turned to nce at her.


    He looked her up and down before asking, "Do you n on following me out in this dress?"


    "onww..." Jia Li made a funny sound before ncing at her dress.


    ''Is it too casual? But I didn''t want to dress too much so I wouldn''t be noticed.'' Jia Li thought.


    "Is...is that bad?" Jia Li asked without thinking.


    The frown on Fu Hua''s face spread. He couldn''t believe his ears.


    "Do you want me to teach you how to dress? We are going out for an official matter. Don''t you have any dress that will fit the asion?" Fu Hua asked.


    Jia Li was confused with what he said. She thought he wouldn''t mind the way she dressed since he didn''t love her, so she was really confused with his attitude now.


    Fu Hua saw her confused looks and became more annoyed. But he tried to talk to her in the calmest way possible, but his tone still turned out cold.


    "Go and get your bag and your household register, I will be waiting for you outside the house." Fu Hua said before walking away.


    He was dressed quite handsomely and richly, and it looks like he really ced great importance on today.


    Without wasting time, Jia Li went back to her bedroom to pick up her bag and household register, before going to meet Fu Hua outside the house.


    Looks like Fu Hua did not n to drive the red sports car today because he was standing in front of his ck car.

    <h4>Chapter 100 - Jia Li And Fu Hua Sign Their Marriage Certificate</h4>


    To Jia Li''s surprise, Fu Hua took her to a luxurious beauty salon. He ordered for her hair to be washed, and styled simply and elegantly. He also ordered for light make-up to be put on her face, then he walked to the waiting room to sit and wait for her while reading a magazine.


    Jia Li could only let the staff take her away and do as Fu Hua ordered.


    Two hourster, Jia Li appeared in front of Fu Hua. Her hair was done, the nude makeup on her face made her look more gentle and pretty.


    Fu Hua said to her, "Let me see your fingers" and Jia Li slowly stretched her fingers towards him.


    Fu Hua put his palm under hers and nced at the nails they fixed for her.


    "Good!." Fu Hua said as he took out his Debit Card and handed it over to them to make payments.


    Jia Li felt like a doll as she followed him out of the beauty saloon back to the car.


    Fu Hua drove straight to a high-end clothing store to pick dresses for Jia Li.


    He told the staff there to find a suitable dress for a formal asion for Jia Li, and then he went to sit and wait.


    After trying on so many dresses, Jia Li was already tired. Most of the dresses she wore, were not her side in the burst area, and the other ones that did fit her, the chest area was opened.


    Fu Hua was already tired of waiting, so he walked towards the fitting room and asked, "What''s going on here?."


    "Sir, we are having trouble with getting the right dress for her." One of the staff replied.


    When Jia Li walked out of the dressing room, Fu Hua finally knew what was wrong. The red dress Jia Li was putting on now, was seductive, and half of her boobs were almost on disy.


    Fu Hua frowned and Jia Li tried to cover her chest with her hands because the situation was awkward.


    "Get her a jacket." Fu Hua ordered, and a jacket was brought for Jia Li.


    Jia Li quickly put it on, and it tried in doing a good job after she buttons the first two buttons of the jacket.


    The red jacket brought for her was quite stylish, and the color-matched perfectly with the dress she was putting on.


    Fu Hua was satisfied as well. He bought another coat, so Jia Li wouldn''t feel cold because of the weather.


    He asked for a pair of short heels and a simple bag and also asked for some jewelry to be brought for Jia Li.


    When another two hours were gone, Fu Hua was happy and satisfied with the transformation, so he was ready to leave so they could register their marriage.


    Jia Li didn''t know if she should be happy because Fu Hua cares about her looks, or if she should be sad because he didn''t like her previous looks.


    When they got to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their marriage, there were no other people in their way apart from the staff, so they smoothly registered their marriage.


    When Jia Li was about to sign, she hesitated for a few seconds before signing, and that action of hers did not escape Fu Hua''s eyes.


    When they were taking a picture to add to their certificate, Fu Hua''s face was neutral, and the photographer dared not order him around. As for Jia Li, she didn''t smile, but her countenance was better.


    Looking at the red marriage certificate in her hand, Jia Li sighed.


    "What, do you regret it?." Fu Hua asked.


    "Uhmm... no." Jia Li replied in a low tone.


    "It''s toote to regret it. What do you want to have for lunch?." Fu Hua asked as they stepped outside and walked towards the car.


    Jia Li''s heart skipped a beat when he told her it was toote for her to regret it. Now hearing him asking about what she wanted to have for lunch, she was a bit confused.


    "Are went going home for lunch?."


    "Do you not want to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere outside, or you want to go home and be surrendered by everybody in the family?." Fu Hua asked.


    "Oh!." Jia Li said in understanding as she got into the car after Fu Hua unlocked it.


    Without waiting for Fu Hua to remind her about the seat belt, she put it on herself.


    Fu Hua took Jia Li to the same restaurant asst time for lunch, and he made an order for both of them.


    When Jia Li picked up her cutlery, her eyesnded on the ring on her left hand, and it really dawned on her that she was now married.


    Jia Li ate very well during lunch because his lungs had been famished before they signed their wedding certificate.


    After lunch, Fu Hua nced at the time and saw it was already past 3 PM, and he noticed Jia Li was ufortable, so he asked.


    "It looks like you don''t like staying in the same space as me. There is still time before we go home, where do you want to go to?." Fu Hua asked.


    Jia Li wanted to tell him he was wrong about the first sentence, but she kept quiet.


    "Can I take a look at the art gallery?." Jia Li asked.


    Fu Hua gave her a weird look before nodding in agreement. And off, they two went to the closest art gallery.


    Jia Li admired the beautiful paintings as she took a walk. Fu Hua saw the like some of the painting, so he asked, "Do you want to get anyone for yourself?."


    "No, thank you!." Jia Li replied.


    "You can''t say no. Pick one, I will pay for it." Fu Hua said as he stared at her.


    Jia Li saw she couldn''t refuse him, so she thanked him and pointed at one beautiful painting, and Fu Hua ordered for it to be wrapped up after he paid for it.


    ncing at the time, Fu Hua saw it was already past 5 PM, so they had to go straight to the house where the Fu Family and some of the extended Fu Family were waiting for them to celebrate.

 Chapter 101 - There Has To Be A Wedding!

    <h4>Chapter 101 - There Has To Be A Wedding!</h4>


    When Jia Li and Fu Hua arrived, they could feel the celebratory atmosphere.


    They walked into the house, and they could already see the new decorations in the house. Also, the servants that were close by, bowed as they congratted them.


    Jia Li was a bit surprised, but Fu Hua remained unfazed. Just then, Grandfather Fu walked out of the sitting room with some of the family members.


    Grandfather Fu and the others who saw the previous dress Jia Li wore before leaving the house, were surprised to see her new looks and a new outfit.


    They didn''t say anything, for they knew it was Fu Hua''s arrangement.


    "You two are back? Let me see the marriage certificate." Grandfather said with a smile.


    If other people were not with him, Fu Hua wanted to ask, ''You don''t believe me?'' but he refrained from doing so, so he turned to Jia Li to say...


    "Give the marriage certificates to grandfather."


    Jia Li quickly opened her bag and took the marriage certificates out, and then and passed it to the old man who took them from her happily.


    Grandfather Fu was all smiles after he confirmed they both were truly married. He handed the marriage certificate to Butler Lu who was standing at the side, as he said to them, "I will keep it for you both."


    Fu Hua scoffed inwardly, for he knew the old man was afraid they would get a divorce, so he decided to keep their marriage for fear of them actually getting a divorce.


    Jia Li was more than surprised. ''What''s going on here? Shouldn''t the couple be the one to keep the marriage certificate?''


    Thinking that it may be a tradition of the Fu Family, she dropped the thoughts.


    "You two cane inside, let''s go and celebrate the newly married couple." Grandfather Fu announced, and there were cheers.


    Fu Hee was too angry toe out with them, so she remained at the huge dining room that was rarely used in the house.


    The biggest dining room in the house was so the other extended Fu family members could join them at the table if there were any asions such as this.


    Everyone made their way from the entrance and straight to the big dining room.


    Jia Li walked beside Fu Hua towards the dining table. Grandfather Fu who was sitting at the head table, gestured to Jia Li toe and sit at his right-hand side, and so Fu Hua had to follow as well.


    Since they were married they had to sit beside each other.


    Grandfather Fu led everyone to toast to them and to give them their blessings. Because of being overjoyed, Grandfather Fu gave red packets to everyone, and he tripled the sry of the servants for the month.


    The servants were already earning a good sum of money every month because they were working in a big family such as the Fu''s, and also because the old man liked to reward hard work a lot. And now that he tripled their sry for September, they were more than excited and grateful.


    When it was time to toast them, Fu Hee didn''t want to participate, but coincidentally, her eyes met with Grandfather Fu''s scary nce, so she had no choice but to raise her ss.


    Today had been the most frustrating day of her life. She had to watch her son get married to some ordinary girl from a small family. As if that wasn''t enough, Mrs. Bai has been calling her all day, and be sure she wasn''t ready to give her a reply, she turned off her phone. And added to the fact that the other Fu Family members that just visited kept asking her the reason Fu ChunHua was ying her role.


    Fu Hee was already exhausted mentally and had to lie to them by saying she wasn''t feeling well, and so asked Fu ChunHua to take her ce for the time being.


    How could she tell them her position had been taken away from her because she hit her now daughter-inw? That would be a big embarrassment. She didn''t want to face any shame.


    All her life as the mistress of the Fu Family, she has been well respected and had never been shamed simply because of the authority and power she had because of that position.


    Thinking more about this, Fu Hee felt her head and heartache. She was almost tempted to ask to be excused because she wasn''t feeling well.


    When she thinks about how she would exin things to the Bai family, she could feel her head shaking. She wished she could disappear from the earth after causing big trouble and losing her position.


    ''All this is because of that girl!'' Fu Hee thought as she nced towards Jia Li, but Fu Hua blocked her view, so her re couldn''t pass through.


    Well, it''s not like Fu Hua did that on purpose, he had just adjusted his position, so it was not his fault.


    As they were eating, one of the members of the extended Fu Family asked, "Uncle, when will you host a big wedding for Fu Hua and Jia Li, signing their marriage certificates is not enough. As the Fu Family, we have to be grand in style, after all, this is the marriage you had high hopes for."


    When the others heard this, they also supported what the woman said. She was the daughter of Grandfather Fu''s deceased elder brother.


    Fu Hee was really tempted to shut their mouths! She was already nning to see if there was a way to get Fu Hua and Jia Li to divorce as soon as possible, so she could work out her ns, so them keeping a low profile about the marriage would be the best way for her.


    But seriously, Fu Hee was thinking too much. because she didn''t follow them out to wee Fu Hua and Jia Li earlier, so she was still unaware that Grandfather Fu was the one with their marriage certificate.


    With most of them in agreement with what the woman said, Grandfather Fu smiled as he raised his hand, and immediately, there was silence.


    "Of course, there has to be a wedding, but that willeter. Jia Li is about to conclude with her schooling."


    After saying this, Grandfather Fu raised a toast.


    Jia Li nced at Fu Hua, who was silent and was busy eating his food. It was as if he didn''t hear what the old man had said.

 Chapter 102 - Fu Hua Takes Jia Li To His Bedroom

    <h4>Chapter 102 - Fu Hua Takes Jia Li To His Bedroom</h4>


    When thest toast was made, Fu ChunHua nced at Fu Hua and watched him drink from his wine ss, and she hid her smiling gaze with her wine ss as well.


    ''This is going to be so much fun!'' Fu ChunHua thought before ncing at then annoyed-looking Fu Hee.


    Fu Hee noticed her gaze and red at her, but Fu ChunHua didn''t take it to heart.


    When thest toast ended, Fu Hua and Jia Li receive red packets from the rest of the Fu Family members for their wedding gift.


    Considering that Jia Li would be tired after the whole day''s hassle, Grandfather allowed everybody to retire for the night around 8 PM.


    Jia Li felt grateful because she couldn''t stand the nces she was receiving. It was too much for her.


    After Fu Hee left the dining table, Fu Lei and Fu Geming followed with a few of the extended family members.


    Jia Li was the next person to leave. She said good night to Grandfather Fu before leaving. Grandfather smiled at her and allowed her to leave.


    When she was out of sight, Grandfather Fu lowered his tone and said to Fu Hua. "Won''t you follow your wife?"


    Fu Hua nced at him with creased brows.


    Grandfather Fu sighed and said to him, "Don''t you think you need to show your wife the way to your room?"


    With Grandfather Fu reminding him of this, Fu Hua remembered that Jia Li has never climbed upstairs before because her room and Grandfather Fu''s study were on the ground floor, even the library too. So, there was no way she would know his bedroom.


    So where then did she go to?


    Fu Hua said good night to Grandfather Fu before leaving in silence.


    Grandfather Fu smiled as he watched him leave. Then turning his gaze back to the dining table, he caught Fu ChunHua looking towards the direction that Fu Hua disappeared in, and the smile on his face was reced with a stern nce.


    Fu ChunHua was a bit startled when she was caught by Grandfather Fu''s smile, but then she smiled back at him.


    Jia Li who Grandfather Fu was worried about, seemed a bit dumbfounded at the sight of what used to be her room, or maybe her room.


    She has just opened the door to her room, only to see how empty it looked. She thought she had stepped into the wrong room, so she took a step back and nced at the door, and confirmed she was at the right ce.


    "Where are my things?" Jia Li muttered in a low tone as she walked inside, leaving the door open. She made her way towards her walk-in closet and saw some of her things there.


    She walked into the bathroom, and she couldn''t find anything there. Now noticing the things in her bathroom and bedroom were gone, she began to panic. And just then, she heard the cold male voice say to her...


    "What are you doing here?" Fu Hua asked with his hands in his trouser pockets. After talking with grandfather just now, he wasn''t surprised that Jia Li would be there.


    Jia Li was surprised to see that tall handsome guy with a cold look standing inside her room.


    ''What is he doing here?'' She thought.


    "I...I want to sleep, but I can''t find most of my things." Jia Li exined in a low tone.


    Fu Hua gazed at her for a few seconds, and Jia Li couldn''t tell what he was thinking. She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard him say, "Follow me!"


    At first, she thought she didn''t hear clearly until she saw him turn around and walk out of her room, then she immediately followed after him after closing the door to her room.


    Jia Li followed Fu Hua and climbed the stairs. They walked through a hallway, and then took a turn before she saw him stop in front of the door.


    Fu Hua opened the door to his bedroom before saying to her as he walked in. "Come in and close the door behind you."


    Jia Li was confused by the instruction, but she just followed it. She has just walked in and closed the door before turning around, and only to see the majestic bedroom that belonged to him.


    She stood at the door and nced around the bedroom, and she concluded that Fu Hua was someone that had a high taste for good things.


    ''No wonder he dolled her up just for them to sign their marriage certificate.'' Jia Li thought.


    But this was not what was important. The important question is, ''What were the things missing in her room doing in his bedroom?'' Jia Li screamed in her head ????


    Seeing that she was still standing at the door and looking around his bedroom, Fu Hua frowned and asked, "What are you doing standing there?"


    Jia Li finally regained herposure as she gazed at him and asked, "My things are here?"


    Fu Hua gave her a confused nce as he asked, "Where else would they be? If you want to take your bath, the bathroom is that way. You can change inside there as well. Most of your clothes are in the walk-in closet, so feel free."


    Jia Li was still in a state of confusion when Fu Hua said she should have her bath, that he would be right back.


    Hearing the door close behind her, Jia Li came back to her senses and almost screamed in horror. She forgot she was now married to him, and it was right for them to share the same bedroom.


    Jia Li was really scared for her life, but there was no time to waste. Since he said he would be back shortly, she had to hurry up and take her bath before hees back in.


    With this thought in her head, Jia Li immediately walked into the walk-in closet. There was no time to admire the expensive things there, and how stylish Fu Hua''s things were, so Jia Li found the space her things were arranged and picked a conservative nightdress, then she walked into the bathroom to bath quickly.


    By the time she came out of the bathroom, Fu Hua had already returned and was taking off his cuffs.


    Fu Hua nced at her before walking inside the inner room to change out of his clothes, and to take his bath.


    Jia Li who had a big sweater wrapped around her body sighed in relief before turning to nce at the bed.

 Chapter 103 - Fu Hua Is Uncomfortable Late Into The Night

    <h4>Chapter 103 - Fu Hua Is Ufortable Late Into The Night</h4>


    Fu Hua nced at her before walking inside the inner room to change out of his clothes and to take his bath.


    Jia Li who had a big sweater wrapped around her body sighed in relief before turning to nce at the bed.


    Next, her eyes moved to the couch as she was contemting where to rest her tired body. And finally, she decided to go sleep on the couch.


    She picked up a pillow from the bed before walking to the coach. She ced the pillow at one end of the couch before lying down and resting her head on the pillow.


    Jia Li found it a bit difficult to sleep immediately because she was not used to the new environment and she was a bit insecure.


    She was spending the night in the same room with that cold-faced man that just became her husband, she didn''t feel safe at all.


    As different thoughts were going through Jia Li''s mind, five minutes passed before she slowly closed her eyes due to her tiredness.


    Not long after she closed her eyes, Fu Hua walked out of the inner room. He was dressed in his thick sleepwear as he walked into the room.


    He nced at the bed and saw it was empty before moving sight over to the couch and there he saw Jia Li''s figure.


    He frowned as he walked towards her and asked, "Why are you lying on the couch, what happened to the bed?"


    Jia Li who was not in a deep sleep yet heard his question and slowly opened her eyes.


    "I left the bed for you, I can sleep on the couch."


    "What do you mean? We are married, so why should we sleep on separate beds? Come to bed and lie downfortably." Fu Hua said as she walked past her and walked towards the bed.


    Jia Li thought she heard wrongly, so she gazed at him with a little confusion written all over her face.


    Fu Hua got into the bed and sitting up, he arranged the duvet before using the remote controller to adjust the temperature of the room. This was the Autumn season, so the weather was very cold.


    Seeing Jia Li still sitting on the couch and gazing at him, Fu Hua asked, "Do you want toe to the bed yourself, or do you want me toe and carry you?"


    Having heard his two options which didn''t leave any room for to reject, Jia Li got back to her senses pretty quick.


    "I cane on my own." Jia Li replied in a low tone. She was deeply worried about Fu Hua''s next actions after shees to join him on the bed.


    She knows she was now his wife and had some wifely duties to perform but she was not ready at all. She was still trying to adjust to their new status and get to understand and till then, she wouldn''t feelfortable with being intimate with him.


    Jia Li slowly walked towards the bed with the pillow in her hand. She ced the pillow on the bed, before lying on the edge of the bed.


    Fu Hua could tell what Jia Li was thinking about, so he assured her.


    "Rx, I don''t n on doing anything to you. I didn''t want you to be ufortable sleeping on the couch all through the night. And this is my bed, so why would I sleep on the couch instead? Four people canfortably lie on this bed, so please don''t fall off the bed while sleeping. I''m not a hooligan, so I won''t touch you."


    After saying all of these, Fu Hua was quite annoyed with himself. He has never talked so much to someone before. Just now, he talked for the longest time possible just to convince Jia Li to lie properly on the bed so she wouldn''t fall off in the middle of the night.


    Even Jia Li was surprised that he was showing too much care towards her. But in order not to fall off the bed at night, she adjusted her sleeping position. When she felt she wasfortable enough, she stopped moving.


    Fu Hua slowly rxed his creased brows. He adjusted the duvet for Jia Li before turning off the light in the room and leaving only the sensor light on, so it would be easy to move freely at night.


    Fu Huaid his back on the bed and slowly closed his eyes to sleep.


    Jia Li who has been a little tensed slowly drifted into sleep.


    An hourter, Fu Hua woke up due to the ufortable feeling in his lower area. He tried to ignore it, but he couldn''t.


    He had no idea of the reason he was aroused in the middle of the night. He could feel how hot that ce was.


    Atst, he opened his eyes and sat up. His eyes nced at the lower part of his body. He saw his member standing and he became very annoyed.


    He was wondering what was wrong, why would he suddenly be aroused without having any absurd thoughts.


    Fu Hua felt his body was getting hotter, so he got off the bed, and walked toward the inner room. Jia Li who heard the movement remained calm, but she continued to keep her eyes closed.


    Because she didn''t feel secure, she wasn''t in a deep sleep.


    Fu Hua took a warm shower beforeing back to bed when he felt his body cool down. But to his surprise, it didn''t take up to 20 minutes before he started to feel his body get hotter and his member rising slowly.


    At this moment, Fu Hua didn''t need to be told that he had been drugged, but by who?


    ''Who would dare to drug him?'' Fu Hua thought as anger slowly rose in his heart. He couldn''t wait to strangle the person if he finds out who it was.


    Four hourster, Fu Hua couldn''t stay for 5 minutes on the bed without getting up to take a shower. He had stopped taking warm baths a long time ago and only taking cold showers despite the cold weather but it still wasn''t able to calm him down.


    Knowing that only s*x could calm him down, Fu Hua nced at Jia Li''s back.

 Chapter 104 - What Every Good Girl Does

    <h4>Chapter 104 - What Every Good Girl Does</h4>


    Knowing that only s*x could calm him down, Fu Hua nced at Jia Li''s back. He didn''t want to touch, so he has managed to endure the torture for so long.


    But right now, he was powerless and just wanted to befortable. Outwardly, his body was hot but inside he could feel his cold bones, due to standing under the cold shower ????


    Before Fu Hua could touch Jia Li''s back, she turned around to ask, "Are you okay?"


    She has been feeling him stand up and leave the bed so many times and she couldn''t fall asleep. She could tell he was ufortable, so she was a bit worried and decided to ask about it.


    Fu Hua gazed at her innocent looks as his eyes shed with passion.


    "I''m not fine!" He replied in a hoarse voice.


    Jia Li was ufortable with his gaze but she still proceeded to continue with her questions.


    "Are you ufortable? Do you feel sick?"


    "I am very ufortable!" Fu Hua replied as he shut his eyes tightly. He was trying really hard to hold in his feelings.


    "Why are you ufortable, did you eat the wrong thing?" Jia Li asked with worryced in her tone.


    "I indeed ate the wrong thing, as someone actually dared to drug me!" Fu Hua said as he let out a groan thereafter.


    Jia Li was a bit confused with what he meant by someone drugging him. But seeing his actions, she immediately understood. She became scared and hurriedly turned her back towards him.


    Fu Hua didn''t know what to think seeing Jia Li''s actions.


    ''Is she scared?'' He thought as he quickly reached out to his member and grabbed it. He squeezed it and he let out another groan as beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.


    From the little knowledge Jia Li had, she could tell he was suffering a lot, but she didn''t dare to face him to ask any more questions.


    At first, she thought he had an upset stomach given how many times he had left the bed but when she found out he was drugged and had probably gone out those times to settle himself, she became scared.


    She felt the drug was so strong, as he couldn''t calm down for so long.


    With his eyes filled with lust and his body in urgent need of s*x, Fu Hua couldn''t hold it in anymore. He groaned out of pleasure as his eyesnded on Jia Li. He quickly reached out to her and turned her over.


    "Ah!" Jia Li shrieked out of fear as she covered her ears.


    "Don''t scream!" Fu Hua warned as he red at her. Jia Li stopped screaming as she nced at him fear in her eyes.


    "Jia Li, I can''t hold it in anymore and I will have to break my promise to you." Fu Hua said in a hoarse voice.


    "You...you...you want to...to touch me?" Jia Li stuttered.


    "What I want to do is more than touching you and this is the only way I can feel better. I already feel my cold bones as a result of taking cold showers." Fu Hua said as he moved closer to her body.


    "Brother Hua what are you trying to do?!" Jia Li asked quickly as she tried to evade him, but she was caught tightly.


    "Look who I am. I am your husband, who is your brother?!" Fu Hua asked in an annoyed tone as he felt his member twitch.


    Jia Li was in a dilemma on how to address him and he answered that question.


    "You can call me by my name." Fu Hua said as he leaned in to brush his lips against her cheek.


    Jia Li shuddered when she felt his warm lips touch her cheek. She wanted to escape but she was held tightly by Fu Hua.


    "Fu...Fu Hua, can''t you manage till tomorrow?" Jia Li asked when she felt more kisses rain on her cheeks and neck.


    "You might really be used of killing your husband the next morning." Fu Hua replied under his breath as he sat up and helped Jia Li to sit up as well.


    "But... But I haven''t done this before. I...I..." Jia Li stuttered as she held tightly onto her sweater, so Fu Hua wouldn''t be able to take it off, but he still managed to find a way to take it off, leaving her only in her thin nightdress.


    "I know. You look and act so innocent so it''s obvious. Jia Li, I didn''t n on touching, but I am forced to. You will have to me the person that drugged me or all of this wouldn''t be happening." Fu Hua said and leaned in to kiss Jia Li''s lips.


    Jia Li was taken aback when those hot wet lips touched hers. She instinctively ced her hands on his shoulders as she tried to push him away but he held her hands and stopped her from going ahead with her actions.


    Jia Li was not reallyfortable with all of these, as it was foreign to her. As she was thinking of ways to resist Fu Hua, she felt a hot palm on her left breast.


    Jia Li couldn''t tolerate this any longer and was about to bite Fu Hua when he released her lips and her breast.


    He gazed at her before slowly cupping her cheeks.


    "Jia Li, I know you''re scared, but you can trust me. I promise to be gentle to you. I won''t force you again after this time. I am very ufortable and can''t hold on any longer." Fu Hua said in a hoarse tone.


    Jia Li managed to slowly look up to see that face looking at her pleadingly. She could tell he was in so much pain but what to do, she didn''t want to give herself to him.


    "You are my wife and there is nothing wrong with doing this with me. Since I want it, you will have to agree with me. That''s what every good girl does." Fu Hua said as he slowly leaned in to kiss her lips and cheeks.


    Jia Li was left stunned. She was a good girl and her mother had always taught her to do the right things.


    Jia Li was thinking of what her mother''s advice would be in this situation if she was alive.


    After being lost in thought for a while, Jia Li was forced back to reality when she felt the palm squeezing her breast.


    Jia Li quickly pushed Fu Hua away. Seeing the deep frown on his face, she quickly looked away from him and said in a soft tone "You...you... take it easy, I...I heard it''s painful."

 Chapter 105 - "Fu Hua... Please"

    <h4>Chapter 105 - "Fu Hua... Please"</h4>


    After being lost in thought for a while, Jia Li was forced back to reality when she felt the palm squeezing her breast.


    Jia Li quickly pushed Fu Hua away. Seeing the deep frown on his face, she quickly looked away from him and said in a soft tone "You...you... take it easy, I...I heard it''s painful."


    "Who told you it''s painful? The person lied to you. But don''t worry, I will be gentle." Fu Hua said as he tore her nightdress. Jia Li was really scared by his actions.


    He just said he would be gentle, but what''s with the violence?


    "There is no time, I''m in pain." Fu Hua exined as he threw her shredded clothes to the rugged floor.


    Jia Li was embarrassed because she was naked and this was the first time a person from the opposite sex was seeing her in that state.


    Fu Hua was not in the right frame of mind to care about Jia Li''s shy appearance. Seeing Jia Li''s naked body, increased the powerful mes ???? in him.


    Fu Hua didn''t have the time to study her body, as he had a pressing need to settle. He immediately took off his clothes and threw them on the floor.


    In her embarrassed state, Jia Li nced at Fu Hua''s hot body, and she was charmed by it. But when she saw him taking off his briefs, she immediately looked away.


    When Fu Hua was done undressing, he moved closer to Jia Li and hugged her. Feeling their naked bodies touch, Jia Li felt a foreign feeling rise within her.


    Fu Hua psed Jia Li''s face and kissed her lips gently. From her lips, he moved to her jaw and then to her neck.


    Jia Li let out a moan for the first time in her life and she felt deeply embarrassed.


    "It''s okay." Fu Hua whispered in his hoarse voice before licking her neck with his wet tongue. Jia Li felt a tingling sensation as she let out another moan.


    She felt pain in herher regions and she rubbed her legs together. Fu Hua noticed her actions and ced his hand on herp, caressing it.


    The sensation was too much for Jia Li so she sped her legs together but Fu Hua licked her ear as he whispered some words ''open your leg''.


    As if under a spell, Jia Li listened to him and opened her legs for him and he made his way to her milky-way.


    When Fu Hua touched her there, Jia Li shuddered as she felt the pain increase. And one thing weird she noticed was that she felt if he inserted his fingers or touched her there, she wouldn''t feel the pain anymore.


    "You''re wet. Jia Li, I''m going to be gentle with you since this is your first time, so spread your legs wider for me." Fu Hua said in a seductive tone before kissing her lips and rubbing her clit.


    Jia Li closed her eyes and let out a deep moan out of pleasure as she unconsciously wrapped her legs around his fingers.


    Fu Hua didn''tmand her to open her legs again. From her lips, he moved to her breasts. He sucked one and fondled the other while the other hand remained to rub her clit.


    Jia Li couldn''t help moaning his name this time around. She felt so pleasured that she wanted him.


    She has never felt this way before. And she didn''t have the time to be embarrassed anymore because all that was currently going through her mind, was for her to settle her sexual needs and so she ended up giving Fu Hua ess to her entire body.


    When Fu Hua felt she was ready for him, he stopped kissing and fondling her breasts. He knelt before her and opened her legs wider. Jia Li didn''t want him to look at that ces so she attempted to close her legs, but he held them apart.


    Jia Li wanted to remind him to be gentle, but when she caught a glimpse of half of his member, she shut her mouth.


    Fu Hua slowly moved his member to her clit and rubbed it for a little while and that action alone, nearly made Jia Li lose her mind and she didn''t know when she started pleading with him.


    "Fu Hua...please...."


    This was indeed torture to her, but luckily for her, someone was in a condition worse than her as he wasn''t in the right condition to continue teasing her because he was suffering more than her.


    Without any more dy, Fu Hua slowly slid his member into her core. Jia Li moaned softly as she searched for something her fingers could grab.


    Because Fu Hua had his arms under herps, she couldn''t break free from him, so she could only allow him to try to prate her.


    Fu Hua felt a little relieved when he entered her. He wanted to continue moving, but he met with a roadblock and when he tried again, Jia Li''s sudden painful cry, reminded him of something.


    "It''s painful!" Jia Li cried out in pain when she felt the big hot thing try to prate her.


    "I''m sorry, I will be careful." Fu Hua apologized as beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He was perspiring to show how much he was suffering.


    Fu Hua learned his lesson and began to move in her slowly, and while doing that, he thought...


    ''If I really get past this stage without exploding, I don''t think there is any other I can''t withstand.''


    Jia Li felt this was painful. She felt Fu Hua lied to her because she just found another way to feel pain.


    ''Howe nobody told her this was very painful?'' Jia Li thought as tears streamed down her eyes.


    After much dedication and patience, Fu Hua finally made a breakthrough, and Jia Li felt a little better.


    Fu Hua began to move in and out of her slowly after he broke her hymen. The hardest part was done, and now he could move in and out of her even though there was still a little restriction.


    This was Jia Li''s first time, so she was still very tight.

 Chapter 106 - "Are You Angry With Me?"

    <h4>Chapter 106 - "Are You Angry With Me?"</h4>


    After what felt like forever to Jia Li, Fu Hua sprayed his seed inside her before gently kissing her sweaty forehead while panting for air.


    "I''m sorry." He said in a low tone as he brushed the few strands of hair off her forehead.


    Jia Li slowly opened her eyes, and as their eyes met, She turned away from him. She didn''t know what to think as this was the most ufortable period of her life.


    "Are you angry with me?." Fu Hua asked in a hoarse tone as he slowly pulled out of her.


    Jia Li turned her back against him once he pulled out of her, and when she did so, she hissed in pain.


    Fu Hua sighed and didn''t know what to do other than to part her shoulder as he apologized.


    Jia Li felt like crying, but she couldn''t. She could only me Fu Hua fit seducing her and getting her to agree to do this kind of thing with him.


    ''If this is how painful it normally is, then I don''t want to do it again.'' Jia Li thought.


    Afterying on the bed for over an hour, Fu Hua became aroused again, and Jia Li who was trying hard to fall asleep was woken up again.


    Learning that he wanted to go for another round, Jia Li rejected him.


    "I''m still sore, and this is so painful, I don''t want to do it again." Jia Li said in a soft tone. Deep down her heart, she was bearing a grudge against him.


    "It''s because it''s your first time, and that''s why you''re ufortable. I promise to be gentle this time around." Fu Hua said.


    Even Fu Hua found his situation frustrating. He couldn''t believe he would stoop so low as to beg the woman he didn''t love for s*x. And the worst part of it was that it was inconvenient for her.


    "But you...you...you lied to me. You said you would be gentle the first time, but you didn''t keep your promise." Jia Li said with her gaze on him.


    "I know, I''m wrong. This is thest time you have to do it, okay?." Fu Hua said as he kissed her lips.


    Jia Li felt she was being deceived for the second time, but she wasn''t given enough time to think about it, because Fu Hua had already started to mess with her brain.


    Fu Hua ended up going two more rounds with Jia Li before he finally let her go.


    This time around, Jia Li refused to speak to him. She turned her back to him and closed her eyes to sleep. And luckily for Fu Hua, he was sexually satisfied.


    The next morning, the two people were sleeping naked under the sheets. Because they slepttest night, they still weren''t up even when it was breakfast time.


    Thirty minutester, Fu Hua slowly opened his eyes. He was used to waking up early, so it wasn''t a surprise to him that he could still get up on time even though he had only 3 hours of sleepst night.


    The first thing Fu Hua did when he opened his eyes was to nce at the woman who was still sleeping soundly beside him.


    Rememberingst night''s events, his brows creased in a frown. He couldn''t want to find out who was shameless enough to drug him.


    He knew his grandfather wouldn''t go to such an extent to bring him closer to Jia Li, so he needed to find out who that person was.


    Fu Hua got out of bed, picked up his nightclothes, and put them on before walking into the inner room.


    He walked out fifteen minutester dressed in a shirt and pants.


    He walked towards the bed to check on Jia Li. ncing at his wristwatch, he guesses she would be upte today, so he left the room.


    Downstairs at the dining room, Fu Hee''s face was squeezed in annoyance since breakfast started, and Fu Hua was nowhere to be seen.


    "What''s keeping Fu Hua and Jia Li, do they want us to wait for them?." Fu Hee asked.


    "Fu Hee, why are you bothered? Everyone here knows that your son and Jia Li got married yesterday, and it''s perfectly normal for newlyweds to sleep in the next morning." Fu ChunHua said with a marvelous glint.


    "What do you mean?!." Fu Hee asked in an annoyed tone as she red at her.


    "Enough! Nobody asked you to wait for them. Eat your food quietly!." Grandfather Fumanded as he directed a stern gaze towards her.


    Fu Hee frowned as she picked up her cutlery and began to eat like the orders.


    "Father, I will be going back to the base this evening, there is an emergency meeting with the government tomorrow morning, so I have to leave today." Fu Lei announced.


    "It''s fine. You and Geming should y cards with me before you leave." Grandfather Fu said.


    "This is a good idea to get away from the stress at work." Fu Geming said with a smile as he supported Grandfather Fu.


    "Okay. I have enough time in my hands before I leave." Fu Lei said.


    Fu He''s nudged his arm as she fixed her gaze on him. Fu Lei nced at her in return, waiting for her to speak.


    "I have something important to discuss with you after breakfast." Fu Hee said in a low tone.


    Fu Lei nodded and went back to eating his food. Hisck of interest annoyed Fu Hee, but there was nothing she could do about it.


    Just then, steady footsteps were heard, and it caught the attention of everybody in the dining room.


    Since they extended members if the Fu Family were sent to the hotel reserved for their stay, it was the main Branch of the Fu Family that was present.


    Soon, Fu Hua was seen making his way to the dining area. Fu Hee sighed in relief when she saw him, and she was hoping that nothing happened between him and Jia List night.

 Chapter 107 - Fu Hua Gives Fu ChunHua A Warning

    <h4>Chapter 107 - Fu Hua Gives Fu ChunHua A Warning</h4>


    Soon, Fu Hua was seen making his way to the dining area. Fu Hee sighed in relief when she saw him, and she was booing nothing happened between him and Jia List night.


    "Fu Hua, why are you onlying out now? We have been waiting for you." Fu Hee said with her gaze on him.


    "When did we start to wait for everyone to gather before breakfast? As far as I remember, Grandfather is the person we all wait for." Fu Hua said as he found an empty seat and sat down.


    "Is Jia Li sleeping?" Grandfather Fu asked as he nced at Fu Hua.


    "Yes." Fu Hua replied as picked up the mug of ck coffee a servant just dropped in front of him.


    Fu ChunHua was all smiles as she said, "Later, you will have to take some breakfast to Jia Li."


    Fu Hua nced at her and seeing her smiling from ear to ear, he guessed she must have been the one that drugged him and everything made sense now.


    She was now the Mistress of the family, and she was basically the one in charge of things in the kitchen, so she could just order the servants around and get them to do anything. But he knew in order not for the news to spread, she must have done everything herself.


    At the thought of this, Fu Hua''s expression darkened. He couldn''t wait to have a word with her.


    It would be embarrassing to him and also to Jia Li if anyone found out he was drugged and it will be easy to guess what went down with Jia List night.


    He didn''t want Jia Li to be embarrassed by anyone''s gaze or thoughts towards her, so he at least had to protect her in that way.


    The breakfast table was calm as everyone ate to their fill, except for Fu Hee who was too angry to eat properly.


    When grandfather Fu was done eating, he wiped his lips and said with his gaze on Fu Hee.


    "Fu Hee, have you settled things with the Bai family?" He asked.


    Fu Hee almost choked on her food. She swallowed her food and wiped her lips before replying.


    "Not yet! But I will inform Mrs. Bai of the news of Fu Hua''s marriage." Fu Hee replied.


    "Make sure you don''t me anybody. And I hope you know what to say?" Grandfather Fu asked with a stern gaze.


    "Yes, Father." Fu Hee replied with an annoyed tone. She was angry because she felt the old man was meddling in something he shouldn''t be interested in.


    Grandfather Fu left the dining table after that.


    Fu Hee was the next to leave, as she had long lost her appetite.


    "Brother, are you going to thepany today?" Fu YingPei whispered to Fu Hua''s hearing.


    Fu Hua nced at him. He was tempted to reply sarcastically since he was not in a good mood, but he refrained from that.


    "I am not going. The sales of thepany are going on well after the show." Fu Hua replied.


    "Oh!" Fu YingPei said with a smile. He wanted to tease Fu Hua but thetter didn''t seem to be in a good mood.


    One after the other after breakfast, Fu Lei, Fu Geming, Fu Ling, Fu Juan, and Fu Meixu left the dining room.


    Fu Hua saw that YingPei wasn''t still leaving the dining room, so he got annoyed and said to him, "Do you n to report to workte? It looks like you don''t want your promotion by the end of this year."


    "Ah! I''m leaving already!" Fu YingPei said as he hurriedly wiped and left the dining room while wondering what was wrong with his brother.


    Now that only he and Fu ChunHua were left, Fu Hua fixed his cold gaze on her.


    Fu ChunHua noticed that Icy gaze on her and turned to nce towards the direction she felt it, only to see Fu Hua staring at her.


    She was a little startled simply because she was guilty of an abominable crime. But she masked her nervous look with a smiled as she asked...


    "Fu Hua, do you need more food?"


    "Cut the crap! Why did you drug me yesterday?" Fu Hua asked straightforwardly as he didn''t want to waste time with her.


    "Ah! What are you talking about, you must be mistaken?" Fu ChunHua denied his words as she stood to her feet. She was about to walk away when Fu Hua''s words stopped her.


    "Aunty, it looks like you''re too old so you''re losing your memories. Maybe when I report your shameless acts to grandfather, you will remember something." Fu Hua said with a cold gaze.


    Fu ChunHua felt pain in her chest when Fu Hua addressed her as an old woman because of her age. The fact that she was older than her husband, his mother and was of the same age as his father, has always been a thorn in her flesh.


    Now hearing him mention that, she felt something heavy was pressing on her chest. And as if that wasn''t enough, he had also threatened her.


    Fu ChunHua slowly forced back the painful feelings back inside her heart as she slowly turned around to nce at him with a painful expression on her face.


    "You want to report me to Father so he will remove my position and hand it back to your mother?" She asked.


    Fu Hua stood to his feet and said as he walked towards her, "No, so you two can have a long rest while someone more capable will take over the position you two couldn''t keep."


    Fu ChunHua shivered as she felt the cold air from Fu Hua as he came close to her.


    "Aunty, don''t mess with me next time..." Fu Hua said in simple words before walking past her.


    Once he was out of sight, Fu ChunHua sat back on the chair as she breathed heavily.


    "Mum, you really dared to drug Fu Hua, are you courting death?" Fu Ling asked with a frown as he walked over. He has been hiding in the corners when he saw Fu Hua talking to his mother.


    Actually, he came back to ask his mother for something when he saw them taking, so he hid and listened to them.


    He only walked out when Fu Hua had left.

 Chapter 108 - Fu Hee Sets An Appointment With Mrs. Bai

    <h4>Chapter 108 - Fu Hee Sets An Appointment With Mrs. Bai</h4>


    "Mum, you really dared to drug Fu Hua, are you courting death?" Fu Ling asked with a frown as he walked over. He has been hiding in the corners when he saw Fu Hua talking to his mother.


    Fu ChunHua nced up to look at him, then she looked away without saying anything.


    "Mum, you never learn, do you? You already caused Fu Hua to be angry with you when you used underhand methods to get Meixu into FJ and now, you even drugged him? Mum, you know Fu Hua''s personality very well. That he left you now is already questionable but I''m sure there won''t be next time. If you cross his path again, even grandfather won''t be able to save you." Fu Ling advised.


    Fu ChunHua had her grievances, but she couldn''t voice them out.


    She wanted to tell him she was helping the old man to bring Fu Hua and Jia Li closer, but she knew telling him will be useless, because he will ask...


    ''Did grandfather ask for your help?''


    Fu Ling had no more words left to say when he saw that his mother still had something to say to defend herself, so he just turned around and left.


    "Are you going to y games again?!" Fu ChunHua shouted behind him, but he didn''t turn back and only walked away quickly.


    Fu ChunHua could only sit back angrily. And before she could react, a servant approached her.


    "Ma''am, young master Fu Hua asked for Miss Jia Li''s breakfast to be sent to his room."


    Fu ChunHua heaved a sigh as she stood up and left with the servant.


    As Fu Hee was sitting in the bedroom, Fu Lei walked in and was about to go straight for the inner room when Fu Hee blocked his way.


    "What are you doing?" He asked with a frown as he was a little impatient.


    "Lei, I asked you toe with me to go and see the Bai family and exin things to them but instead, you agreed to y games with father. Do you still have conscience?" Fu Hee asked with her hands spread out.


    "Who was the one that didn''t have a conscience before going to make arrangements with the Bai family without consulting anyone, even her husband? Move out of my way!" Fu Lei said to her in an annoyed tone.


    "Because of my little mistakes, are you saying that you won''t go with me?" Fu Hee asked with an unbelievable expression on her face.


    "You have said it''s a little mistake, then fix it!" Fu Lei said as he walked past her so freely.


    Fu Hee couldn''t believe her husband did not agree to go with her because she never told him of her arrangements or involved him with the ns she had with the Bai Family.


    Fu Hee did not know what to feel. She only thought her husband was so petty as he couldn''t show her a little support because he bore a grudge against her.


    Fu Hee felt wronged and needed someone to talk to. She wanted to call her daughter andin to her but she remembered that she still had to go through another trouble of exining things to her, and since she was the friend to the daughter of the Bai family, she would immediately tell her off and run off to reveal everything to her friend.


    And since she hasn''t yet exined things to the Bai Family, she couldn''t let her know anything about it.


    ''What a headache!'' Fu Hee thought as she went back to sit on the bed.


    After mustering enough courage, She picked up her phone as dialed Mrs. Bai''s number and on the first ring, the call was answered.


    "Oh! Thank God Fu Hee, you finally called back. What happened, I called you a dozen times yesterday, but you didn''t answer any of my calls, and you didn''t call back. Is everything alright?" Mrs. Bai asked.


    Fu Hee sighed as she replied, "Everything is okay. Some of the extended Fu families came over and you know as the Mistress, I have to arrange everything."


    "Oh! I see. It must have been hard on you. But why did the extended family members visit, was there an asion?" Mrs. Bai asked.


    "That''s a story for another day." Fu Hee said to her.


    "Okay, it''s fine. I''m d you called back now because I was already dressed up and nning to visit you." Mrs. Bai revealed.


    "What! You wanted to visit me?" Fu Hee asked in shock as her eyeballs nearly popped out of their eye sockets.


    Mrs. Bai found her reaction weird, so she asked, "Why, is something wrong with me visiting you oring to the Fu Family?"


    Realizing that her reaction was indeed questionable, Fu Hee covered it up as sheughed over it. "Don''t mind me. I was only surprised that you care about me this much."


    "There is nothing to be surprised about, after all, you are my friend, and our children are going to be married soon, and that will make us inws, and it''s only right that I should care for you." Mrs. Bai replied in a happy tone.


    At this point, Fu Hee wanted to run away from the country as she didn''t know how to bring up the topic she has been trying so hard to hide.


    Mrs. Bai was about to ask Fu Hee if she had spoken to Fu Hua and the rest of the Fu Family about the arrangements, but it was as if Fu Hee guessed what her next question would be, so she directly cut her off.


    "Bai Fen, I have something important to talk to you about. Let''s meet at ******* by 2 PM. Ah! my husband is out, I will meet you at that ce, bye!" Fu Hee said and ended the call before Mrs. Bai could ask any questions.


    Fu Hee patted her chest as she kept her phone aside. She felt so lucky for being smart. Fu Hee sighed as she began to think of what she would say when she met up with Mrs. Bai.


    After a while, she said to herself, "Ah! I can''t have a heart attack because of this matter."


    And as she said so, she removed her shoes and climbed up the bed. Fu Lei walked out of the inner room to see her sitting on the bed with her hands folded.


    He just nced at her and walked past her to leave the room without saying anything.


    When Fu Hee was on the phone, he heard everything she said, and he began to think when his wife became so good at lying.


    Fu Hee also did not spare Fu Lei more than a two seconds nce before looking away. And when he left the room, sheid on the bed and closed her eyes.

 Chapter 109 - Fu Juan Is Pitiable

    <h4>Chapter 109 - Fu Juan Is Pitiable</h4>


    When everyone left the dining room, Fu Juan went to Grandfather Fu''s study.


    ncing at her, grandfather Fu asked her to wait as he received some files from Butler Lu.


    "What do you want to see me for?" He asked as his attention was on the files in his hands.


    "I wanted to see you about Jia Li. When you refused me to adopt her a year ago, I didn''t know this was the idea you had although you told me you had ns for her. Father, don''t you think you made the wrong decision?" Fu Juan asked.


    Grandfather Fu replied without ncing at her. "I didn''t make any mistake. I think deeply before making any big decision, so all of you that are worrying about me pairing wrongly, shouldn''t think too much about it. Things may seem bleak now, but I know the future is bright."


    Fu Juan had no words to refute him with. Since the Old man thinks he''s right, then he''s right. But surprisingly the Old man is always right since he always thinks deeply before making any decision.


    But Fu Juan thought this was a matter of two lives, two Destiny''s and setting them up like that was a gamble. But she hopes he will be right like he has always been.


    "Your husband didn''te with you yesterday, where is he?" Grandfather Fu asked as he took out the papers from the big envelope and ced them on the table.


    "He is always traveling. We don''t have a child, so there''s no need for him toe back often." Fu Juan replied as she tried to mask the sadness in her heart but Grandfather Fu was still able to see them in her eyes.


    "He has you to return to. The two of you should make ns to adopt a child and there is nothing wrong with that." Grandfather Fu advised.


    "I don''t think that''s a good idea. He is so busy and I sometimes get busy as well. Who will look after the child?" Fu Juan asked.


    "Stop giving silly excuses. You''re still hoping on having your child, which is not a bad thing, but you should think about your age and know it is 99.9% impossible." Grandfather Fu said as he slowly looked up to nce at her.


    Fu Juan sighed without saying anything because she knew he was right.


    Grandfather Fu sighed as he fully concentrated on talking to her now.


    "I loved your mother and before I married her, I already made ns that if we didn''t have children, we can always adopt one or two. But if she liked me then there wouldn''t be a need to adopt any child. In your case, the person that needs the child the most should adopt. Adoption is not wrong, but you should be able to take care of the child and be responsible for him."


    Fu Juan shut her eyes and then opened them the next moment. "I will talk to my husband once hees back from this trip."


    "When are you going back?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    "Today. I still have some pending works left to do" Fu Juan replied.


    After chatting with Grandfather Fu for a while, Fu Juan left.


    "This daughter of mine is really pitiable. I wonder what she would do if she finds out her husband betrayed her." Grandfather Fu said with a sigh.


    "Hmmm... Master you mean..." Butler Lu said as he trailed off. He was still in shock with what the Old man said.


    "Her husband cheated on her and I won''t be surprised if he already has children with another woman. So, Juan has to adopt a child that will keep herpany." Grandfather Fu said.


    Butler Lu looked shocked to learn of this revtion.


    "Master, if your son-inw cheated on your daughter, shouldn''t you punish him and get justice for her?" Butler Lu asked, not quite understanding the old man''s thoughts.


    "I will only interfere with their matter if she finds out ande crying to me. For now, I can''t be the one to let her know about it. And I can''t fully support her because she has an idea that her husband is not faithful." Grandfather Fu disclosed.


    "Master, then you really need to make investigations to confirm if he has children with another woman." Butler Lu suggested.


    "I will not do that. I asked Fu Juan to marry the person I chose for her but she refused and her mother made me allow her to go with her choice, now look at it. And because I promised my wife, I allowed my children to pick their partners. But when it came to Hua, I insisted I would be the one to select his marriage partner since I brought him up and you know, I can''t watch him make a terrible mistake. His parents had agreed at that time. If Fu Juan had listened to me, she wouldn''t have to suffer all of these."


    "But master, if General and his wife epted that you will select master Fu Hua''s partner, why did the Mistress go-ahead to arrange a marriage with the Bai family without consulting anyone?" Butler Lu asked.


    He thought he already knew so much about the Fu family, but it turned out there were some important matters he had no idea about.


    "You can say she lost her mind for a while." Grandfather Fu replied before finally fixing his gaze on the papers before him.


    "But Master, what about your daughter, won''t you assist her?" Butler Lu inquired.


    "Lu, take note that you can''t help everybody even when you have the power. More especially, you can''t help the people that are afraid of the truth." Grandfather Fu before finally immersing his concentration on the papers.


    Butler Lu just learned something from the old man. ''He just guessed that Fu Juan might have an idea of her husband''s unfaithfulness but she didn''t want to confirm it because she was afraid of knowing the truth, so she is still acting ignorantly about the matter.''

 Chapter 110 - Fu Hua Is Worried He Might Have Hurt Jia Li

    <h4>Chapter 110 - Fu Hua Is Worried He Might Have Hurt Jia Li</h4>


    "Lu, if you betray the Fu Family, your head will roll." Grandfather Fu said casually, which may or may not be a threat.


    "Yes, Sir!" Butler Lu said as he bowed. He was not scared, because he was used to staying with the old man and he didn''t have any ns of betraying him so he wasn''t guilty.


    When Fu Hua walked into his bedroom, he didn''t see anyone on the bed and that was quite a bit of a surprise to him because he had no idea that Jia Li would wake up early.


    ncing at the bed, he saw that the duvet was gone and there was a small red patch on the side of the bed Jia Liy on.


    He walked closer to the bed to take a look at it, and when he guessed what it was, he took a step back and nced at the door leading to the inner room which was tightly shut.


    ''Did I injure her?'' Fu Hua thought as his brows creased up in a frown.


    He didn''t know what else to think other than to think he injured her as he couldn''t exin any other reason there would be a bloodstain on the bed.


    Years ago, when Fu Hua met Feng Alix and they got to know each other well enough, she told him she was a virgin and he was her first boyfriend. But when they finally got together, he didn''t see her bleed after it and he didn''t have any trouble with getting through her.


    So, seeing the blood on the bed that belonged to Jia Li, Fu Hua thought he hurt her, without having the slightest idea that virgins with their hymens intact bleed on their first s*x.


    Fu Hua felt guilty as he stared at the bloodstain on the white sheets.


    He was currently thinking if he let Fu ChunHua off so easily because if she didn''t drug him, he wouldn''t have touched Jia Li and then she wouldn''t have gotten hurt.


    As Fu Hua was still thinking about the matter, Jia Li stepped out of the inner room and was surprised to see him in the room.


    Just now, she was bathing and didn''t hear when someone stepped into the bedroom.


    Fu Hua nced at her to see her fully dressed in some casual clothes. She was currently putting on a pair of jeans and a shirt and there was a big jacket in her hand.


    Jia Li turned to run back into the inner room when he called her back.


    "Did I hurt youst night?" Fu Hua asked gently.


    Jia Li who still had a grudge against him, turned around to nce at him, then she shook her head in a negative affirmation.


    Fu Hua was confused by her response, so he asked further.


    "But the blood on the sheets belongs to you." Fu Hua said while pointing to the bed.


    Jia Li followed his finger and saw the blood on the bed and she felt like disappearing.


    When she got out of bed, she saw the bloodstain, and made a mental note toe back to change the sheets after dressing up but who would have thought he would walk into the room when she was bathing, and now he had to see the blood before she could get rid of the sheets.


    Jia Li slowly walked towards the bed to pick up the sheets as a blush appeared on her face.


    "Yes, it belongs to me," Jia Li said in a muffled tone as she proceeded to drag the sheets of the bed.


    Fu Hua became more worried. ''Since the blood on the sheets belonged to her, then I must have really hurt her badlyst night.''


    Now thinking about having an injury down that ce, Fu Hua frowned as he knew how painful and ufortable it will be.


    "Jia Li, aboutst night, I''m sorry. I didn''t mean to be rough with you and I hurt you in the process. Come, have your breakfast and I will take you to see a doctor." Fu Hua said to Jia Li.


    Jia Li who managed to gather the sheets off the bed nced at Fu Hua for only a second before looking away embarrassingly.


    "I don''t need a doctor." Jia Li said in a small tone as she carried the sheets and was about walking away but Fu Hua caught her arms and stopped her in her steps.


    He took the sheets from her and dumped them on the floor, and all of these surprised Jia Li.


    Holding her shoulders and forcing her to look into her eyes, Fu Hua said to her with a frown.


    "I know you''re upset with me and I have apologized already. It''s fine if you don''t want to ept it but I need to take you to the doctor since you have an injury down there. I don''t want you to suffer from anyplicationster on."


    Jia Li was scared seeing this side of Fu Hua and the worst part of it all was that she couldn''t free herself from his grasp, so she had no choice but to remain standing before him.


    "Fu Hua, I''m not injured, I''m fine." Jia Li said as she gazed at him with a sincere look.


    Fu Hua released her shoulders and asked, "Then how do you exin the bloodstain on the sheets?"


    Jia Li finally understood that the man before her didn''t know anything about this. And even though she was embarrassed, she still had to exin to him or who knows if he might get a doctor to the house toe and examine her and then everyone would know something was wrong with her.


    Thinking of these, Jia Li shuddered.


    Jia Li looked down and exined to Fu Hua in a soft tone.


    "I''m not injured. It''s normal for some women to bleed on their first time."


    Then ncing at Fu Hua, she saw he was still confused. She couldn''t stand there and exin further as she was not his biology teacher, so she hurriedly escaped from his sight after she picked up the sheets.

 Chapter 111 - What Did You Call Me For?

    <h4>Chapter 111 - What Did You Call Me For?</h4>


    Then ncing at Fu Hua, she saw he was still confused. She couldn''t stand there and exin further as she was not his biology teacher, so she hurriedly escaped from his sight after she picked up the sheets.


    Fu Hua could only watch as Jia Li fled in embarrassment. He nced at the bedside and saw the jacket she left behind, then he walked up to pick it. And just then, a knock sounded on the door.


    Fu Hua put the jacket on the bed as he said in a cold tone, "Come in!"


    The door was pushed open, as a trolley of food was wheeled into the room.


    "Sir, I''ve brought breakfast for Miss Qin." The servant said after she served the food.


    "Mmm, you may leave." Fu Hua said as he waved his hand for her to leave.


    The servant bowed and left after she wheeled the cart to a good position.


    After the servant left, Fu Hua was wondering how long it would take Jia Li to keep the sheets in theundry basket ande out.


    He nced at his wristwatch before walking towards the door. He knocked on it before saying,


    "Jia Li, so you n to sleep in there?"


    Jia Li who had been hiding inside nced at the door nervously.


    Fu Hua didn''t hear any response from her, so he added, "Breakfast is served, don''t spend your whole day there."


    Jia Li sighed tiredly. She really wanted to spend some time alone but it looks like he wouldn''t let her.


    Jia Li walked towards the door and opened it. When she walked out of the inner room with new sheets, she saw Fu Hua sitting on the couch with his phone in hand, and he seemed to be really busy.


    Jia Li walked towards the bed with steady steps, and in a few minutes, the bed was dressed neatly.


    Sighing to herself, she nced at Fu Hua, who was sitting on the couch. She was already very hungry and wanted to eat, but she didn''t know why he would go to the same couch where her food was served, to sit.


    Jia Li was still contemting when her stomach grumbled. She covered her stomach embarrassingly as she nced towards Fu Hua who only spared her a nce before looking back at his phone.


    "Why are you still standing there?" He asked with his gaze on his phone.


    Jia Li slowly walked towards him, and as she tried to sit on the couch, she had a funny way of doing that, which caught Fu Hua''s attention.


    "Are you....?"


    "Thank you for the breakfast." Jia Li said, cutting off any other word he had left to say.


    Fu Hua could only keep quiet as he went ahead to continue with his research online. And if only Jia Li saw what he was reading, she would have spat her food out.


    Jia Li ate quietly as Fu Hua continued to browse on the inte. He was making inquiries to find out more about a woman''s first-time s*x experience.


    He has only slept with two women in his life, and ording to them, they were virgins, but why were their experiences, different?


    From what he read on the inte, Fu Hua could tell the reason Jia Li bled. But as for the reason Feng Alix had a different experience, another article described it.


    The reason she didn''t bleed on her first time (ording to her) maybe because of sports or exercise.


    After noting all of these, Fu Hua was lost in thought. He was so quiet and calm at the same time that Jia Li was wondering what he was thinking about.


    Jia Li did not bother with him. She ate to her satisfaction and gathered the tes and remaining food on the trolley before pushing it outside the door.


    Coming back to the room, Fu Hua nced at her and said, "Wear something nice, I''m taking you somewhere."


    Jia Li looked surprised as she reminded him, "But I just finished eating."


    "Oh! you can rest for a while then. Your painting arrived yesterday and was delivered to the room by one of the servants when we were having dinner. Where do you want to put it?" Fu Hua asked as he pointed to the painting that was still wrapped and sitting on one corner of the room.


    "Wow!" Jia Li eximed as she walked towards the painting. She lifted it and admired it before carrying it with her and went to sit on the couch beside Fu Hua.


    She put the painting on the floor beside her before proceeding to unwrap it with a smile on her face.


    Fu Hua was thinking how easily Jia Li was fascinated by just a painting.


    "Fu Hua, thank you!" Jia Li said with an appreciative smile while admiring the painting she just unwrapped.


    "Where do you want to put it?" Fu Hua asked after acknowledging her appreciation.


    Jia Li nced at the walls in the room before looking back at Fu Hua. "Can I put it here in the room?" She asked, not sure if he would agree with her request.


    "I will ask someone to put it up for you before we leave." Fu Hua replied and his phone started ringing immediately after that.


    ncing at the caller ID, Fu Hua frowned but didn''t hesitate to answer the call.


    Jia Li knew the call was kind of important, so she left the room with the papers that were used to wrap the paintings.


    Fu Hua nced at her back until she disappeared out of the room before ncing back at the painting she left behind.


    "Speak!" Fu Hua spat out in a cold tone.


    "Are you still angry with me?" The familiar female voice asked from the other side of the world.


    "What did you call me for?" Fu Hua asked as he was starting to get annoyed.


    Feng Alix knew she had to stop beating around the bush, so she went straight to the point. "I''m sorry about the other day. Inded a huge job but didn''t tell you about it when I knew we had ns..."


    Fu Hua didn''t wait to hear what she still had to say, so he directly asked, "If you want to talk about this, I don''t have time for it."


    "Okay. I forgot you would be in the office by now." Feng Alix said in a low tone but Fu Hua didn''t feel it was necessary to correct her.


    She didn''t have to know where he was, who he was with, or what he was doing, so he didn''t say a word about that.

 Chapter 112 - Jia Li Misinterprets Fu Huas Words

    <h4>Chapter 112 - Jia Li Misinterprets Fu Hua''s Words</h4>


    "If you have nothing else to say, I will get busy now." Fu Hua said directly as he didn''t want to waste time with her on the phone.


    "Wait! Are you not going to ask me when I will be back?" Feng Alix asked.


    "Why should I do that? I have given you enough time already." Fu Hua said with a frown, then Feng Alix recalled when he said to her to ''take her time during theirst conversation.


    She had thought he said it out of anger, but who knew he meant what he said?


    She thought it must have been hard for him to ept that she was going to stay away from him for another three months, so he had to agree even when he was furious.


    That was fast but she was d she didn''t have to plead with him for a long time.


    "Fu Hua, don''t be mad at me, okay? I will be back in three months." Feng Alix said to him.


    "Take your time, I am not in a hurry. I will wait for you to be back." Fu Hua said in a neutral tone.


    What he meant to say was, ''You can take as much time as you want, it''s not like you are still holding me back.''


    Feng Alix was happy and immediately said a few words before ending the call.


    When her manager walked in and saw her smiling like that, she asked, "Did you speak to Mr. Fu?"


    "Yes. I told him I would be back in 3 months and he asked me to take time. See, he really understands me. He was only furious the other day." Feng Alix said as she put her phone away.


    "Hah! Why did you only call him back today when you should have done that earlier since youmitted a huge crime?" The manager asked in surprise.


    She thought Feng Alix had long apologized to Fu Hua, and that today''s conversation was about them talking about another thing, but she just got to know Feng Alix was only apologizing now.


    She had since wanted to ask her if she had exined things to Fu Hua, but because of her attitude, she didn''t want to ask too much. Now learning of this, she didn''t know what to say.


    "I only found time today. And what''s there to be worried about? I just exined things to him, and he got the message. And besides, Fu Hua is always busy, so I''m sure he wouldn''t have time to listen to any excuses, so I just went straight to the point." Feng Alix said as she crossed her leg over the other.


    "When are you going back?" The manager asked.


    "I told him I will be back in 3 months, but I will surprise him bying back in two months. After spending a week with him, I will return to finish my work." Feng Alix said proudly.


    Her manager didn''t want to butt in again, so she remained quiet and epted what she had to say.


    After the call, Fu Hua shut his eyes and massaged his temples for a while before his phone rang.


    "Boss, the wife of the minister for sports and tourism, asked to meet with you. Her Secretary just called to inform us so we could set an appointment." Fu Hua''s personal Assistant reported over the phone.


    "Does she want to order dresses this year or does she have a business proposal?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Mmm... Boss, I don''t know. What time would be convenient for you?" His personal Assistant said.


    "I will meet her tomorrow morning by 8 AM." Fu Hua said.


    "What about the meeting with the sales department, when should I fix it?" He asked again.


    "Are you my personal Assistant so I would have to instruct you with everything? Arrange my schedule like before. You only need to ask about important matters." Fu Hua said in a cold tone.


    "I''m sorry Sir. Then... Goodbye Sir." His assistant said as their conversation came to an end.


    Jia Li walked into the room a few minutester. She didn''t have to go to school today, and because she was used to spending time in her room when she didn''t have anything to do in school.


    "Where do you want to go to today?" Fu Hua asked as soon as she returned.


    "I''ll be fine with rxing at home." Jia Li replied.


    "Dress up, I have a ce to take you to. When we return, you can rx all you want." Fu Hua said after ncing over at her.


    Jia Li nced back at him before asking, "Is it a formal event?" She asked so she would know how to dress since he had a problem with her dressing sense.


    Fu Hua nced at her again before replying, "We are going to have lunch outside. Don''t dress too casually. You can put on something easy to remove."


    Jia Li felt warning bells ???? ringing in her ears as she took some steps back in fear. And it looks like Fu Hua realized his words had an ambiguous meaning, so he exined...


    "I''m also taking you to the beauty parlor, and you would need to change out of your clothes there."


    "Oh!" Jia Li eximed as her palpitating heart calmed down a lot. She still had a palm on her chest as she breathed heavily.


    She felt that he frightened her on purpose, but having understood his personality, and the kind of rtionship they had, he definitely didn''t have time to tease her.


    Jia Li walked into the inner room to change her clothes, and she came out a few minutester dressed in a purple gown with a huge jacket covering her upper body, and a long pair of boots on her feet.


    Fu Hua approved her looks with his gaze before going on in to change his clothes. He came out some minutester dressed in a trousers with a coat on his upper body, and another one in his hand.


    "It will be very cold outside, take off the jacket and put on the coat." Fu Hua said as he handed the long overcoat to Jia Li.

 Chapter 113 - Fu Hua Allows Jia Li To Nap For A While After The Massage

    <h4>Chapter 113 - Fu Hua Allows Jia Li To Nap For A While After The Massage</h4>


    "It will be very cold outside, take off the jacket and put on the coat." Fu Hua said as he handed the long overcoat to Jia Li.


    "Thank you!." Jia Li said as she took it from him and put it on.


    The two walked out of the room and used the stairs to go down. They saw Butler Lu just as they came downstairs.


    "Butler Lu, inform Grandfather that I''m going out with Jia Li, and there is no need to wait for us during lunch." Fu Hua informed.


    "Okay." Butler Lu said with a smile as he bowed.


    On their way to the beauty parlor, Jia Li''s phone rang, but because of Fu Hua''s presence, she didn''t want to answer the call.


    At the third ring, Fu Hua nced at her. "Don''t you want to answer the call?."


    "No, it''s my friend, I will return the callter." Jia Li said in a soft tone as she put her phone on silent mode.


    Fu Hua nced back at the road and turned on the music.


    Getting to the beauty parlor, Fu Hua assigned someone to take care of Jia Li while he went to another section to shop.


    Jia Li had no idea she was the only one getting a massage, and she didn''t know the reason he brought her to that ce.


    Well, Fu Hua did that because he felt guilty after he tired her outst night, so getting a massage will help her not to feel sore again.


    While Fu Hua was getting a body massage, Fu Hua was shopping for beauty products for her with the rmendation of one of the beauticians in the store.


    After an hour had passed, Jia Li was already asleep because her fatigued body had finally rxed. But before she got the massage done, she yed out a drama.


    Jia Li was bursty so when she changed and had to lie on the bed and expose her back, her boobs were showing from the side, and she felt a bit embarrassed.


    She ended up asking the person that was going to attend to her to put some clothes on her sides to cover her boobs from showing.


    The attendant smiled and did as Jia Li requested that. And for this reason of being the only one getting a massage in the room, Jia Li felt at ease and relieved that Fu Hua didn''t join her.


    While getting a massage, Jia Li fell asleep, and the beautician had to leave her to continue resting in the room as she went out to report to Fu Hua, who told her to let Jia Li rest for a while.


    So for 30 minutes, Fu Hua sat waiting for Jia Li to wake up from her nap.


    When Jia Li woke up, the attendant was sitting beside her.


    "How long have I been sleeping?." Jia Li asked as she sat up immediately and covered her body with the dress.


    She was thinking about Fu Hua when she asked that question. With the impression she had of Fu Hua, she guessed he was capable of leaving her there.


    "Almost 35 minutes. The sir you came with is waiting for you." The attendant reported as she passed Jia Li''s clothes to her.


    "Thank you!." Jia Li said as she sighed in relief. She only started to get dressed when the attendant left the room.


    5 minutester, Jia Li appeared before Fu Hua all dressed up. Because she just woke up from sleep, her face was yet to brighten up.


    Seeing Fu Hua who had his gaze on her as she walked towards him, Jia Li apologized.


    "I''m sorry, I fell asleep and no one woke me up." Jia Li said with her head bowed.


    "I know. I asked them to allow you to get some sleep. Let''s go." Fu Hua said as he got up and started walking ahead of her.


    Jia Li was truly confused by Fu Hua''s actions. She didn''t know if he liked her, or he was being good to her because of Grandfather.


    Next up, Fu Hua took Jia Li to a restaurant for lunch.


    During lunch, he didn''t let her eat too much because they still had another ce to take her to.


    "Do you like ice cream?." Fu Hua asked as they got into the car after having their lunch.


    "Ice Cream?." Jia Li asked as she looked confused.


    "I noticed you only eat home-cooked food and you don''t each much when I take you out to eat, because of the way you were brought up, so I''m taking you somewhere to go try some other food." Fu Hua informed her.


    "Okay." Jia Li said to him.


    Fu Hua still remembered beat transported the first time he dined with Jia Li about a year ago during the time grandfather Fu was hospitalized in her hometown.


    It looks like he has long been paying attention to her.


    Jia Li didn''t know a lot of ces here because she didn''t go out often. So she felt a bit rxed as Fu Hua drove around for a while.


    When they got to a famous fast food, Fu Hua took her to get some ice cream.


    Jia Li didn''t know if she could handle the ice cream in the cold weather, but she agreed to give it a try.


    Walking into the ce, she rxed when the warm air hit her. And now she knew she could enjoy the ice cream because of how warm the inside was.


    Fu Hua ordered some ice cream and other snacks for the both of them before they went to sit in one corner of the restaurant.


    "Jia Li, I know you are surprised by my action of being kind to you. I''m doing this because I may not have the time to take you out again. And understanding what our rtionship is like, I wouldn''t want the media to know about us. I''m not interested to get any attention from them." Fu Hua exined.


    Jia Li finally understood the reason he was treating her so well. She felt a little bad, but what could she do? She didn''t me him at all because they didn''t lobe each other and were forced to get married.


    Since he''s trying to treat her well like he promised, she was already appreciative enough.

 Chapter 114 - Fu Hua Tells Jia Li The Harsh Realities Of Getting Into FJ

    <h4>Chapter 114 - Fu Hua Tells Jia Li The Harsh Realities Of Getting Into FJ</h4>


    "When will you be through with your studies?." Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.


    "Mmmm... my final exams will be starting soon, in a few weeks." Jia Li replied.


    "Have you thought of where you want to work?." Fu Hua asked.


    "I haven''t talked about it, but grandfather asked me toe over to FJ once I''m through with school." Jia Li replied but hesitated a little before adding as she didn''t know if he was angry.


    "If you don''t like it, I will ask grandfather to let me work in another ce." Jia Li said in a soft tone as she looked downwards.


    "I didn''t say anything. If you areing over to FJ, then you must prepare your heart and your mind to be strong. You are only a young designer who will be graduating in a few weeks. You don''t have work experience, and FJ is really not a ce for you. You don''t look like a strong woman to me, so I doubt your capabilities if you will be able to survive in FJ." Fu Hua said to her with the sincerity of his heart.


    .He didn''t mean to be harsh on her, as he was only telling her the truth about the realities of life.


    Jia Li felt tensed as she listened to Fu Hua.


    "Grandfather May think he''s doing a good thing for you by allowing you toe work in a ce as prestigious as FJ, but it''s actually going to be a very tough journey for you. At work, you are my employee, and I can''t help you, so you''ve got to protect yourself as you can''t go against your direct Boss." Fu Hua said to her and sighed in the end.


    Jia Li looked downcasted as she thought about the truth Fu Hua just said to her.


    Of course, FJ was not a ce for everybody. Only experts or the best experiences could get in there. But who was she?


    She was just someone with no work experience who would enter FJ Styles. She may be bullied, or not allowed to shine and forever remain under the shadows if she was not lucky.


    Seeing Jia Li''s mode change, Fu Hua apologized.


    "I didn''t mean to be outspoken and be that harsh to you. I was only trying to let you know what you are about signing up for. But you''re a grown woman, so why do you let my grandfather make decisions for you?." Fu Hua asked.


    Slowly looking up at him, Jia Li replied, "Grandfather is like my only parent, and he has raised me for the past year. He has been so good to me, so I have to listen to him since he knows what is best for me."


    "Including getting married to me?" Fu Hua asked as his sight narrowed.


    Jia Li waved her hands as she tried to exin, "I tried to get grandfather to cancel his proposal, but he didn''t listen to me. And that was the first time I was refusing something from him."


    "That''s in the past now. From now onwards, you need to learn how to voice your opinion and get someone to do your bidding. If you don''t master this act, you may turn into a ve or someone that is easy and can be used by anyone." Fu Hua said in a kind reminder.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li muttered in a low tone.


    Sighing, Fu Hua asked her to finish the food before her. And while staring at her, he felt he brought up the topic at the wrong time because she seemed to be in a bad mood.


    "Jia Li, if you want anything, you can tell me about it instead of going to grandfather. If I''m not too busy, I will help you out directly or ask someone to help you with it." Fu Hua said to her as he tried to remedy the situation.


    "Thank you!." Jia Li said with jer gaze on the ice cream that was melting.


    "Do you want to see your friends?." Fu Hua asked.


    This time around, Jia Li looked at him as her eyes brightened a little.


    "I will help you meet with your friends, but that may be after your exams since you need maximum concentration." Fu Hua said.


    "Thank you!." Jia Li said with a small smile. She hasn''t met with her friends since she came to live with the Fu Family. Now that Fu Hua promised to help her meet with them, she was happy, and she forgot about her worries and finished up everything he ordered for her.


    Fu Hua finally rxed when he saw Jia Li eating happily again.


    On their way home, he asked her to make a list of the things she wanted to do, and the ces she wanted to visit.


    "If I have the time some other day, I will. ring you out to those ces."


    When Fu Hua and Jia Li arrived home, Fu Hua was not around, as she had already left for her appointment with Mrs. Bai.


    Fu Hee was on tenterhooks when she got to the venue she booked. She ordered a hot tea while waiting for Mrs. Bai to arrive.


    Atst, when Bai Fen arrived, Fu Hee smiled and hugged her in greeting.


    "Fu Hee, you looked as if you lost some weight these few days." Bai Fen said she sat down with her gaze on Fu Hee.


    "I''ve been under a lot of stresstely, so I''m not surprised." Fu Hee replied as beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead.


    "As the Mistress of the Fu family, I understand that things are not so easy for you to handle, but you need to rest and don''t exert yourself. By the way, what is that Fu ChunHua doing, can''t she assist you to arrange some things?." Bai Fen asked with a frown.


    "As the Mistress of the house, I have to be in charge, and the of man trusts me, so I can''t just order everyone around in case the n to sabotage me." Fu Hee lied smoothly.


    "I understand, but still you need to take it easy with your health." Bai Fen said as she pats her hand.


    "I know, thank you!." Fu Hee said with a slight smile as she took out a handkerchief from her bag.


    Bai Fen poured some tea for herself from the ceramic tea jug on the table as she asked, "You called me out today, and I guess it''s something important, what is it?."

    <h4>Chapter 115 - Your Best Is Not Good Enough!</h4>


    Bai Fen poured tea for herself from the ceramic tea jug on the table as she asked, "You called me out today, and I guess it''s something important, what is it?"


    Fu Hee rubbed her palms on herps nervously before looking straight at her. She didn''t know how to start exining things, but she knew the earlier she confessed, the better it would be for both parties because she had dragged things out for too long.


    "Bai Fen, I don''t know how to say this, but please you have to trust me." Fu Hee with a helpless gazee.


    Bai Fen felt that something was wrong, and as she felt a bad premonition, she stopped smiling as her face turned serious.


    "What happened?" She asked.


    "Bai Fen, I will really have to disappoint you as I have no choice. That after ourst meeting, I went home to talk to Fu Hua only to learn from my father-inw that he already had someone arranged for Fu Hua, so he asked me to cancel the arrangements I made with you since he had already found a wife for my son." Fu Hee disclosed with a guilty look.


    "Fu Hee, I don''t understand a word that you''re trying to say to me. Are you trying to tell me you want to dissolve our agreement because Old Fu arranged a woman for your son?!" Bai Fen asked with a fierce gaze


    She was truly angry now and couldn''t hide that fact.


    "I know you are angry and disappointed with me, but the matter is out of my hands." Fu Hee said as she tried to grab her hand, but Bai Fen dodged her touch.


    "As Fu Hua''s mother, are you saying that you don''t have any right to choose a partner for your son?" Bai Fen asked with a smile that was not a smile.


    Fu Hee''s facial expression turned ugly as she narrated the embarrassment she faces from trying to oppose the old man.


    "Fen, you don''t know what happened that day. When I was confronting the old man in his study about his decision to get Fu Hua married to the woman he chose, I tried to exercise my right as Fu Hua''s mother, but that old man sshed me with his calligraphy ink, embarrassing me in front of the servants. That''s not all, he sent his Butler to ask me to pay up for the ink he sshed on me, or I wouldn''t be allowed to have dinner. So, I had no choice but to pay for the expensive ink."


    Bai Fen wanted to pity her, but she couldn''t, because she still couldn''t ept that the marriage between her daughter and the son from the Fu family couldn''t pull through.


    ''No, I have to find a way to make this work. My daughter has to get into the Fu family, and she must marry Fu Hua!'' Bai Fen thought.


    "Fu Hee, I know you''ve tried your best, but I am still not satisfied with it. I will have to talk to my mother-inw about this, so we can visit Old General Fu and talk about this matter again." Bai Fen said with her gaze fixed on Fu Hee.


    Her gaze says that she was not going to back down so easily.


    "It''s toote Bai Fen, it''s toote. Nothing can be done now." Fu Hee replied as she shook her head in regret.


    Bai Fen looked confused and annoyed at the same time as she asked, "What do you mean it''s toote? You should be thinking of ways to remedy the situation, so what do you mean by these words now?"


    Fu Hee looked up at her, sighed, and then exined her words, "Fu Hua had already gotten married to that girl, so nothing can be done."


    "What?! What do you mean?!" Bai Fen asked angrily as stood to her feet with a fierce gaze directed at her.


    "Sshhh... calm down and stop shouting." Fu Hee said to her as she tried to drag her to sit back on her chair, but Bai Fen flung her hand away.


    Right now, Bai Fen was very angry and her chest felt a tight constriction. She felt her head hurt.


    She couldn''t believe that all the calctions and ns she made would go down the drain like that. She will never ept that fact!


    "Do you think I am in the mood to care about my image now? Fu Hee, how could you hide this from me?! I thought we were friends, but look at the way you treat your good friend! How am I going to exin things to my daughter? That girl has been in love with Fu Hua since we both gave her that idea, and now you want to break her fragile heart to pieces? I won''t let that happen. Your Fu family must give us the Bai family an exnation." Bai Fen said while pointing at Fu Hee.


    Fu Hee''s on the other hand looked disturbed with Bai Fen''s actions and words.


    "Bai Jun, it''s all my fault, but I really did try to salvage the situation, but you''ve heard what happened." Fu Hee said with a frown.


    "Your best is not good enough. You made me lose so much a golden opportunity to match Bai Jun with the son of the current minister. If you didn''t mention this, I would have secured a promising future for my daughter, but look what you''ve caused, I have lost all the chances." Bai Fen said angrily.


    Although Bai Fen shouldn''t me Fu Hee because she was the one that intentionally gave her that idea, but she just couldn''t be happy that such a golden opportunity to be connected to the Fu Family by marriage would slip out of her hands just like that after all the efforts she managed to put in.


    Fu Hee was feeling guilty deep down in her heart, but she was also angry with Bai Fen for being too harsh with her words.


    Fu Hee could only me herself for looking for trouble in the first ce, so she had to exin her true situation so the me wouldn''t be on her anymore.

 Chapter 116 - Bai Fens Meticulous Plan

    <h4>Chapter 116 - Bai Fen''s Meticulous n</h4>


    Fu Hee could only me herself for looking for trouble in the first ce, so she had to exin her true situation so the me wouldn''t be on her anymore.


    Acting all pitiful, Fu Hee poured her grievance on Bai Fen.


    "Bai Fen, aren''t you being a little inconsiderate here? Do you know what I went through to get the old man to cancel the marriage he arranged for Fu Hua? I even lost my position as the mistress of Fu Family, and still, nothing changed!" Fu Hee revealed with a painful expression on her face.


    Bai Fen looked shocked to learn that Fu Hee lost her position as the Mistress of the Fu family because of that matter.


    She was probably too shocked as she sat back in her seat and gazed at Fu Hee with a shocked look.


    "You lost your position as the Mistress of the Fu family?" She asked in disbelief.


    "Are you doubting me? The old man gave my position to that old hag Fu ChunHua because I hit the girl he asked Fu Hua to marry." Fu Hee said as she felt so angry thinking about all the losses she encountered because of Jia Li.


    "What? That girl even came to your house?" Bai Fen asked in surprise.


    "Not only that, she lived with us before she got married to Fu Hua." Fu Hee revealed. And now seeing how confused Bai Fen looked, she proceeded to exin things to her.


    She told her how Jia Li came to stay with the Fu family and live with them.


    After listening for a while, Bai Fen said with a frown. "I''m sure that girl is a gold digger. She must have nned all of these. But it''s too bad that all of you didn''t notice it on time."


    "I don''t like that girl at all, and to think she had the guts to have ideas on my son. I hate her so much that I just want to snap her into two." Fu Hee said with hatred.


    Bai Fen felt a bit rxed on seeing how much Fu Hee hated Jia Li. She smiled to herself as a new idea formed in her head.


    Going back to her serious look, she said to Fu Hee, "Since that girl is so hateful, how can you tolerate her being married to your excellent son without fighting back? If I were to be in your shoes, I will definitely deal with that girl and ask Fu Hua to get a divorce."


    "Fu Hua doesn''t want to listen to me. It''s only that old man that has such influence over him. See, I picked a wife for him, and the old man did the same, but he chose the old man''s option even though he didn''t like any of our ns. These days, he doesn''t listen to me!" Fu Hee revealed in an annoyed tone.


    "We have to find another way. And I''m sure General Fu threatened him, so he had no choice but to listen to him. We have to find a way to get Fu Hua and Bai Jun together, but before we think of a new idea, you can''t let that girl get pregnant for Fu Hua or things will be difficult as General Fu adores her." Bai Fen said to Fu Hee in a low tone.


    "This task will be easy for me since they live under my nose. I can easily monitor her and mess with the food. I can never allow her to get pregnant for my son!" Fu Hee swore with a firm look.


    "Good. You have to do your task well, while we wait for my daughter toe back. I will have to inform her of this so she will be prepared, but I can''t bear to see her so heartbroken." Bai Fen said with worry in her tone.


    She looked so worried, and her words were sessful in convincing Fu Hee to listen to her since she was guilty and ready to make amends.


    "Don''t worry, I will keep watch on her. But how do we convince Fu Hua to listen to me?" Fu Hee asked a little concerned.


    "Since he was forced to marry that girl, then I''m sure he doesn''t love her, and since it''s so, we can easily make him to get close to Bai Jun and fall in love with her. You just need to stall for time till Bai June back." Bai Fen said with a smile.


    She was happy with her meticulous n. She has to make sure Jia Li doesn''t get pregnant or their ns would have a high chance of getting ruined.


    If Jia Li bes pregnant, then it will be difficult for Fu Hua to divorce her, because the old man will never allow that to happen since he adores Jia Li.


    Knowing all of these, Bai Fen had to make such ns, in hopes her daughter would get into the Fu family.


    "Bai Fen don''t worry, I will put my all into this, you can rx." Fu Hee promised with determination.


    There was no way she would let the person that made her lose her position and be embarrassed, have peace, or get pregnant with her son''s child.


    She would never allow that!


    Fu Hee and Bai Fen talked a little about other matters before going back to their various homes.


    When Fu Hee went back home, she looked a bit rxed and was no longer tensed like she was several hours ago.


    Fu Hee wanted to speak to Fu Lei, but she learned he was ying games with Fu Geming and the old man, so she let him be.


    As she was climbing the stairs to go to her room, she met Jia Li who wasing down the stairs.


    Jia Li looked afraid and was a bit tensed when she saw her, but she couldn''t turn away.


    When she was finally standing side by side with Fu Hee, she greeted her, but thetter snorted and walked past her.


    Jia Li sighed in relief since she wasn''t told off by her.

 Chapter 117 - Locking Her Up In Prison

    <h4>Chapter 117 - Locking Her Up In Prison</h4>


    Jia Li walked out of the house and went straight to the back to find her dog who was kept in its cage.


    When the German Shepherd saw its owner, it started barking happily.


    Jia Li smiled as she released it from its kennel and rubbed its head.


    "Did you miss me already?" Jia Li asked with a loving smile as she knelt on the grass and rubbed its head.


    She always made sure toe to see the dog and y with it every day. And most times when she doesn''t have the time, the person grandfather Fu got to take care of it, will do that in her stead.


    The dog barked to acknowledge Jia Li''s words.


    "I''m sorry. I''m sorry, I missed you too." Jia Li said as she hugged the dog with a smile.


    The dog seemed happy as it stayed allowed Jia Li to hug her.


    "Ocean, let''s go for a walk." Jia Li said as she stood to her feet with a gentler gaze.


    Ocean barked in acknowledgment as she followed Jia Li out.


    While strolling in the bigpound, Jia Li talked to the dog happily, and at times it would shake its tail and respond by barking.


    Twenty minutester, Jia Li walked back to the dog kennel with Ocean tagging along. Now at the dog kennel, Jia Li squat and rubbed her hair.


    "Ocean, I have to say goodbye to you. But I promise to send your breakfast tomorrow, now go in." Jia Li said after hugging the dog.


    Ocean barked before obediently walking into her kennel, and Jia Li rubbed her back before closing the cage.


    Just when she stood up, her phone started to ring, so she took it out of her pocket. When she saw caught a glimpse of the caller ID, she almost face-palmed her forehead because it was her friend that was calling.


    DanDan was the one that called earlier when Fu Hua and Jia Li were on their way to the beauty salon, and Jia Li forgot to return the call.


    Just as expected when she answered the call, she heard DanDan''s loud voice.


    "Jia Li, are you okay? You finally answered my call, what happened?!" DanDan asked.


    "I''m fine. I''m sorry I forgot to call back. Also, I wouldn''t answer your call earlier because I was not in a good ce." Jia Li exined.


    "Okay, it''s good that you are fine, I was worried about you. So, you are married now?" DanDan asked.


    "Yes." Jia Li replied in a low tone as she took few steps away from the dog kennel.


    "Jia Li, what should I say to you, you are really so pitiful. Your life is being decided and controlled by someone else." DanDan said and sighed thereafter.


    "DanDan, don''t say that. I''m not being controlled by anyone. This is the first time Grandfather Fu asked something of me, so how could I reject him after everything he did for me?" Jia Li asked as she felt bad DanDan saw the old man as someone that controlled her life.


    She would not fail to correct anyone that had any bad impressions about Grandfather Fu, because the man had done a lot for her.


    Feeling the disappointment in Jia Li''s tone, DanDan apologized right away.


    "I''m sorry. Is your husband treating you well at least?" She asked.


    "Yeah, he is. Don''t be bothered about me, I am living a good life. I only hope you see you and the others soon." Jia Li said with a smile.


    "Don''t worry, you will see us soon. Just let us know your graduation day, and we will be there to support you." DanDan replied in a lively tone as she became happy.


    "Okay, I will give you the date once it''s fixed." Jia Li promised.


    "Okay. Remember to take care of yourself, and call for help if your husband bullies you. Don''t forget toe online more often." DanDan reminded her kindly.


    "I will, thank you. Bye." Jia Li said with a big smile on her face.


    After the call ended, Jia Li was still smiling because DanDan was concerned for her.


    When Jia Li went back inside the house, she was told that Grandfather wanted to see her.


    She had just walked right through the entrance door when she saw Butler Lu.


    Butler Lu sighed in relief when he saw her.


    "Miss, Master wants to see you." He informed with a smile.


    "Okay." Jia Li nodded as she followed him to Grandfather Fu''s study, where the old man was waiting.


    When Jia Li walked into the room, she met the old man sitting on the couch in the study for the first time since she started staying with the Fu Family.


    Grandfather Fu wasn''t the only one there, because Jia Li''s sightnded on Fu Hua was sitting opposite the old man.


    Jia Li walked in and greeted the old man.


    "My good granddaughter-inw,e and sit beside me." Grandfather Fu said with a gentle smile as his gaze rested on Jia Li.


    Jia Li gave a small smile as she went to sit beside him.


    "I''ve been waiting for you for a while." Grandfather Fu said as he nced at her with a smile. He didn''t seem as if she had kept him waiting.


    "I''m sorry about that, I went to take Ocean for a walk, and then I spoke to my friend on the phone for a while, when I was outside." Jia Li exined.


    "It''s okay. I wanted to see you for three reasons. Your Aunty is troublesome, she has tried to sell your house more than 10 times now, and she doesn''t want to give up. Actually, I''m thinking about locking her up in prison for a few days to teach her lessons about trespassing and trying to sell a property that doesn''t belong to her." Grandfather Fu revealed and he didn''t seem happy about it.


    Over the past year, Mu Keer''s situation got worse, and she tried to sell the house that belonged to Jia Li''s parents, but she didn''t expect not to seed after trying so many times.


    Somehow when she was about to close the deal, the people would not contact her again, and she didn''t know the reason for their peculiar actions.

 Chapter 118 - Be Mindful Of Your Words

    <h4>Chapter 118 - Be Mindful Of Your Words</h4>


    Somehow when she was about to close the deal, the people would not contact her again, and she didn''t know the reason for their peculiar actions.


    What she didn''t know was that Grandfather Fu had things under control. He had ced a person to watch over the house, tip the people that wanted to buy it off at the point after they have agreed to make payments.


    He always does these to give Mu Keer hope of getting a huge amount of money, and then not getting anything in the end.


    Jia Li wasn''t too surprised when she heard of these, because she knew her greedy Aunt was capable of doing that.


    She was kind of surprised when she didn''t receive any news of her bad behavior over the past year, but now she had found out the Old man had been taking care of it.


    "Grandfather next time, just teach her a little lesson. She still has children to take care of, so they may not be able to cope if she is hit too hard." Jia Li said.


    Even though she was unhappy and wanted her Aunty to be punished for going too far, she had to put her cousins into consideration.


    "You are really kind, rest assured that I will not punish her for a long time." Grandfather Fu promised.


    He felt Jia Li was too kind to her enemies, but he couldn''t go against her wish since this was her family member.


    Turning to nce at Fu Hua, Grandfather Fu said to him, "Fu Hua, I want you and Jia Li to move out of the house, you two are newly married and need your own space."


    Fu Hua nced at him and asked, "Why do you want us to move out so soon?"


    Jia Li was surprised by grandfather Fu''s instruction and also wanted to ask the question Fu Hua just asked because she also felt it was too soon for her to leave the Fu house immediately after moving out. And she didn''t know how she would cope when she has to live alone with Fu Hua.


    "I already said you two are newlyweds. And besides, you need to get to know each other well enough, and that can only happen when you are left in your own space. You two have to move out as soon as possible." Grandfather Fu said to the both of them.


    He had really thought things through and knew it would be best for Fu Hua and Jia Li to live in their own house.


    He wanted them to get to know each other very well, and also he didn''t want Jia Li to be bullied by Fu Hee when he wasn''t watching.


    "How soon do you want us to leave?" Fu Hua asked after ncing at Jia Li, who looked troubled over the matter.


    "You will have to do that before I go on a mission. I have an important military mission to carry out, as it is a confidential matter that has to do with the country. The best time is during the weekend. But first of all, you need to follow Jia Li to her hometown to go and pay respects to her parents. It''s been a year since their deaths, so it''s time for Jia Li to go back and visit them." Grandfather Fu said.


    Jia Li felt teary hearing her about her deceased parents from the old man. She felt grateful to him for always caring about her.


    "Thank you, grandfather." Jia Li said gratefully with her teary eyes.


    She has already thought about how to ask the old man for permission to go back to her hometown to pay her respects to her parents since it''s been a year they died, but who knew the old man had the same thoughts as her.


    "You don''t need to thank me. And don''t cry if you don''t want to make this old man sad." Grandfather Fu patted her shoulder as heforted her, while Fu Hua watched from the side.


    Seeing the scene before him, he finally understood the reason Jia Li listens to everything the old man says.


    She is willing to sacrifice anything to make his grandfather happy because he was the only one that took good care of her and was always thinking of her.


    Now, he knew the reason Jia Li would do anything the old man asked of her.


    When Friday came, Fu Hua and Jia Li returned to the Fu mansion early as they had to travel to Jia Li home town the same day.


    As Fu Hua and Jia Li were stepping out of the house with their little suitcase, they met Fu Hee who just came back home.


    She was surprised to see the both of them leaving the house with their suitcases, so she asked hurriedly with a worried look on her face.


    "Fu Hua, where are you going to?"


    "I''m going with Jia Li to her hometown to see her parents. We will be back in two days." Fu Hua replied with a straight face.


    Fu Hee became rmed on learning they would be spending two days outside alone. Now thinking about the possibility of Jia Li sleeping with her son and getting pregnant, Fu Hee couldn''t help but be worried, so she asked, hurriedly...


    "Why don''t you let mee with you two?"


    "We don''t need your presence. Stay at home and rest properly." Fu Hua said in a cold tone with an emotionless gaze on her.


    Fu Hee was very angry deep down since her son refused her request. She could only resort to her only option.


    "Since you said so, I will rest at home. Go ahead, I have a few words to say to Jia Li."


    Fu Hua nced at her, and then at Jia Li before ncing back at her.


    "Be mindful with your words." He said before taking the luggage in Jia Li''s hand and walked away.


    When Fu Hua left their side, the smile on Fu Hee''s face disappeared as she turned to nce at Jia Li with a look of disgust.


    "You better know your ce and respect yourself. You are going to pay respect to your parents, and not to have fun, so you better behave properly."


    After saying this piece, Fu Hee scoffed and walked away.


    Jia Li didn''t understand the meaning of Fu Hee''s words and the hidden meaning in them, but she was not too worried.


    She walked towards the car Fu Hua and two men in military uniform were standing.


    Jia Li got into the back seat of the car with Fu Hua, while the two military men got in the front side of the car.


    The military men were the escorts arranged by grandfather Fu.

 Chapter 119 - Fu Hua Escorts Jia Li To Pay Respect To Her Parents

    <h4>Chapter 119 - Fu Hua Escorts Jia Li To Pay Respect To Her Parents</h4>


    Two hourster, Fu Hua and Jia Li arrived at the hotel they booked. Since no one has been staying in Jia Li''s house, the ce would have been too dusty, so they had to book a hotel.


    "What do you want to eat, I will order it for you." Fu Hua asked after they settled in their hotel room.


    "I''m not really hungry, but you can order anything for me." Jia Li replied.


    She was feeling nostalgic after returning to her hometown after a year, so she didn''t have much appetite.


    But since it had already turned dark outside, she knew she would be hungryter at night, so she had to order something.


    At her reply, Fu Hua picked up the telephone and ced their food order before going into the bathroom.


    Jia Li was not in a good mood, so she didn''t have time to worry about some things.


    When their food was served, Jia Li ate a little before going to the bathroom to change her clothes, and after which she went to the bed to lie down and sleep.


    Fu Hua was sitting and watched her every movement, knew she wasn''t in a good mood, and he guessed the reason for it.


    After eating Fu Hua called the hotel staff toe and take the tes away before going to take a shower and change his clothes.


    The hotel Fu Hua booked was a room that has one bed, and a couch in one corner, then a wardrobe and a bathroom, so changing clothes could only be in the bathroom.


    It was toote to drive down to the Fu Vi, as it was still a bit far, so they had to stay in the hotel for tonight.


    Fu Hua dressed in his night robe and came back to the room. He turned off the lights before going to lie on the other side of the bed.


    Jia Li who was lying on the bed with different thoughts in her mind didn''t know when she fell asleep.


    The next morning, Fu Hua and Jia Li packed their things and left the hotel after breakfast with the two soldiers that came with them.


    ording to their ns, they went straight to visit the site where Jia Li''s parents were buried.


    Fu Hua respected her privacy and walked some distance away from her.


    ncing at the tablets that had her parents'' names on them, Jia Li became teary as she caressed them with her hands after cing a bouquet each on their tomb.


    "Mum, dad, it''s been a year since you left me. I wish you two were still here with me. I miss you two so much. I miss our breakfast and dinner together. I miss you two spoiling me with your love and care. I miss all of our moments together that sometimes I wished you took me with you. When I go back to watch our pictures and videos, I feel a wrenching pain in my heart knowing that those moments can only be a memory. Dad, Mum, I wish I could go back to the moment I was about to leave for the Fu house the first time, I would have begged with grandfather Fu to allow you both to follow me."


    As Jia Li reached this point, she was already in tears, and she didn''t try to wipe them away.


    Sniffing, she continued with pouring out her emotions in front of her parents'' grave.


    "...Mum, Dad, grandfather Fu took good care of me in the past year, and he enrolled me in one of the best fashion and designing schools in the country. Now, I''m married to his first grandson, and you two know him. He is Fu Hua. Mum, we talked together about my feelings for Brother Huang, and before you could help me confess my true feelings to him, you and dad left, which made me devasted, and I had to take few steps back."


    At this point, a snort wasing out of Jia Li''s nose, so had to wipe it with the handkerchief she put into the pocket of her thick jacket.


    Jia Li wiped her nose before continuing to pour out her emotions. Her nose had already turned red, but that was not her worry.


    "Mum, Dad, I don''t know what my future with Fu Hua will be like, and I don''t dare to ask for it to be perfect like your rtionship, but I only hope he would continue to treat me well, and things will get better between us. Mum, Dad, take care, I wille back next year to visit you again." Jia Li said as she cried painfully.


    The death of her parents was still her weakest point. Their death created a huge vacuum in Jia Li''s heart, that can never be filled.


    She has understood what life without one''s loving and caring parents meant.


    No matter how much grandfather Fu cared for and looked after her, she still felt she was missing out on so many things.


    She couldn''t bring herself to forget her parents, and she always felt they were the best and were better at loving and caring for her.


    It took twenty more minutes for Jia Li to leave her parents grave.


    Even with the pain in her heart, she didn''t fail to notice how clean the ce was. She smiled as she remembered Grandfather Fu.


    The man truly cared a lot about her matters.


    Fu Hua saw Jia Li walking over with tears in her eyes. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her.


    Jia Li took it from him as she muttered a word of thanks to him.


    She wiped her tears and her snort away, before putting the handkerchief away.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua got into the car with the soldiers and were now on their way to Jia Li''s house. Since she wanted to see it after a long time, they had to drop by before going to the Fu Vi.


    When their car parked in front of Jia Li''s house, they all came down from the car.


    Jia Li stared at the ce she once used to call her home. She felt nostalgic as she became teary again.


    "Do you want to go in?" Fu Hua asked as he saw she wasn''t making any move.


    Jia Li came back to her senses and nodded in response before taking out the key from her bag. And before she could take a step forward to unlock the door, Fu Hua took the key from her and unlocked the doors to her house, and they all went in together without knowing someone had been looking at them through the window.

 Chapter 120 - Mu Keer Comes Over Before Jia Li Leaves

    <h4>Chapter 120 - Mu Keer Comes Over Before Jia Li Leaves</h4>


    "Hello, Mu Keer? it''s me. Your niece just came to the house now, if you want to meet, hurry up!" Jia Li''s neighbor informed.


    She was the person Mu Keer asked to keep an eye on Jia Li and inform her whenever shees around.


    "She is there?! I''ming right away. If she wants to leave, please stall her till I get there." Mu Keer said and hung up immediately.


    Mu Keer was very happy and her heart was palpitating. She didn''t expect that the person she has been looking for, was in the town already.


    She quickly took permission from her superior in the factory she was working at, before leaving hurriedly.


    Jia Li, on the other hand, nced at the empty living room while reminiscing with her parents.


    Because of dust, the furniture and everything in the house were covered with white cloths, and there were cobwebs everywhere in the house.


    Fu Hua frowned as he nced at the dusty living room filled with cobwebs, then he made a mental note to employ someone to be taking care of the house.


    And as he was thinking of that, he took out his phone and made a call, and finally, a servant working in the Fu Vi in the same hometown was assigned toe and clean the house every month.


    Jia Li overheard the conversation and thanked him, before going on to check every room in the house.


    The house did look different to her, maybe because it''s been a long time since she was there.


    Jia Li spent almost 15 minutes looking around and going through things in the house before deciding to leave, or more as Fu Hua convinced her to leave.


    "You must be hungry, and you need to eat and rest before we travel back to City X." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li heaved a sigh as she agreed with him.


    As they stepped outside the house, they met a woman who rushed to their side but was stopped by the soldiers.


    "Jia Li, it''s me!" Mu Keer shouted as she looked over.


    Jia Li almost did not recognize Mu Keer because her skin had tanned.


    "Aunty Keer?" Jia Li called out in surprise as Fu Hua gave the soldiers a sign to let Mu Keer go.


    Immediately she was released, Mu Keer ran to Jia Li''s side and started bellowing.


    "My good niece, I have been looking for you. How can you leave and not say anything to me? Don''t you know I will be worried about you?" Mu Keer asked as she continued to wail.


    "Aunty, why are you crying as if I died? I only left the town." Jia Li replied as she managed to get her hands off her grasp.


    Looking up, Mu Keer said to her, "You should have told me. I am the only family member you have so how can you leave this town without telling me? Do you want other people to use me of maltreating you?"


    "Nobody will use you of anything, stop crying first." Jia Li said with a frown.


    Mu Keer wiped her tears and that was when she saw someone standing next to Jia Li. She recognized him as the young man that was always with the Old man the few times she came around after her brother''s death.


    This scene got her thinking a lot.


    ''Why is Jia Li with this man?''


    ''Did Jia Li go to live with that wealthy family?''


    ''But why is she together with this man?''


    As Mu Keer was still lost in thought, Jia Li was getting impatient so she said to her, "Aunty, it''s too cold, and I was about to leave before you came, so I have to leave now."


    Mu Keer came back to her senses just as Jia Li walked past her. She caught onto Jia Li''s right palm, and that was when she felt and saw the ring on her finger.


    Because of her action, Jia Li had to stop in her steps. Now seeing her lift her fingers to nce at her wedding ring, Jia Li took her hand back from her.


    Mu Keer recognized the ring as a wedding ring because of the finger it was worn. Now she was curious about Jia Li''s life, Mu Keer couldn''t help but ask...


    "Jia Li what have you been up to for the past year? Are you married? Howe you got married without informing your only rtive? Who is your husband?"


    Fu Hua frowned with his gaze on Mu Keer as he replied from the side, "I am her husband, do you have a problem with that?"


    Hearing Fu Hua''s cold voice, Mu Keer shivered and hurriedly shook her head in fear.


    But thinking how lucky Jia Li was to marry into a wealthy family, Mu Keer couldn''t standstill. She was suffering with her children, but Jia Li got to enjoy in a big city while being married to a rich man.


    ''No, I have to do something!'' Mu Keer thought.


    Looking up at Jia Li as tears started to stream down her eyes again, Mu Keer said to her, "Jia Li, since you''re leaving a good life, you have to help your cousins out. We''ve been suffering since your Uncle was sent to prison, and we didn''t even get to see him for thest time. At least now that you married into a wealthy family, you have to take your cousins to the City."


    It would have been better if we didn''t mention her uncle, because right now, Jia Li was so angry.


    "Aunty, how can you mention my parents killer so causally? If you have gotten over your brother and sister-inw''s death, I haven''t gotten over my parents'' death!" Jia Li said angrily as tears started brimming in her eyes.


    "You...you how can you still be thinking of what happened in the past? I am only asking you to help your cousins since you''re so rich now. Look at your expensive clothes, look at how nice you smell. See how you''re living a carefree life while your cousins and I are suffering, don''t you think it''s unfair?" Mu Keer asked as she was also starting to get annoyed.


    Once her greedy heart was set on extorting money from Jia Li, she wouldn''t stop until she gets it. But now seeing that Jia Li did not look like she was going to help them, she became angry.

 Chapter 121 - Jia Li Learns That Her Mother Had Eloped With Her Father To Get Married

    <h4>Chapter 121 - Jia Li Learns That Her Mother Had Eloped With Her Father To Get Married</h4>


    "I''m living a carefree life? Do you know what I went through over the past year getting over my parents'' death? You see me dress well, so you think I am living a carefree life?" Jia Li asked a little hurt.


    Fu Hua wanted to intervene, but he felt that Jia Li needed to sort things out with her Aunt. He could only stand beside her in case she needed help, of which he wouldn''t dy throwing Mu Keer out.


    "Are you not living a good life? Can you deny that fact? You are really heartless!" Mu Keer said in anger.


    "You tried to sell my father''s property, but you don''t feel you were heartless as well?" Jia Li asked.


    "I have to feed your cousins and train them, so I need money. What I did wasn''t wrong. You also imprisoned my husband, wasn''t that enough for you?" Mu Keer asked with her hands on her waist.


    Jia Li could see very well what kind of rtive she had, and she felt d Grandfather Fu rescued her on time.


    "Aunty, you are not a good person. But I will advise you to work hard to provide for your children since your husband is nevering back."


    "When you put your uncle in prison, did Ie to quarrel with you? I was not happy I wouldn''t see my husband, but I had to ept your decision, but then we need a way to survive. But do you have to rub it on my face that your uncle is nevering back?" Mu Keer asked in an angry tone while pointing at her.


    "He is not my uncle. If you didn''t insist on marrying him and listened to grandfather, he wouldn''t have caused my parents'' death and ruined our family, and you would have been living a good life." Jia Li pointed out for her.


    Mu Keer scoffed as she said, "Did your parents tell you that? They are both wrong! If they hadn''t made the same mistake I did, they wouldn''t have ended up in the ground so early!"


    "Enough!!!" Fu Hua said in a cold tone as he was very angry. He felt that Mu Keer was very rude, and she didn''t have respect for the dead.


    Mu Keer rolled her eyes and looked away. Jia Li looked hurt to hear her speak about her parents like that.


    "Aunty, what are you trying to say? What mistakes did my parents make for you to talk about them in this manner?" Jia Li asked as she wiped her tears.


    "Am I the only one who didn''t listen to my parents about my marriage partner? What about your mother who canceled the marriage with her fiance and eloped with my brother, which caused a lot of problems for her family?" Mu Keer revealed.


    Jia Li was shocked by this revtion because her parents never mentioned anything about it. She has always thought her mother came from a simple family, and so they werete. But how would she have known that something like this happened?


    Fu Hua was also surprised by this revtion, but he really knew how to mask his facial expressions well.


    Seeing the shock in Jia Li''s eyes, Mu Keerughed out loud. Then with a taunting smile, she said to her...


    "Are you very surprised that your parents could act like that? When my father was still alive, he epted them, but he couldn''t ept my choice. Can you see the reason why I don''t care about any of them?" Mu Keer asked.


    Fu Hua could no longer stand and listen to Mu Keer, as he had finally exhausted his patience. And there was no way he would allow Jia Li to continue to be hurt with her Auntie''s harsh words, so he decided to bring her away.


    "Didn''t you see the significant differences between both marriages, or is your insight blind as well? This should be thest warning you will get on a good note. If you try to sell anything that belongs to Jia Li, you will join your husband for some time." Fu Hua said in a cold tone before bringing Jia Li away.


    Mu Keer wasn''tpletely a fool as she heard and understood the threat in Fu Hua''s words.


    He just said he would put her in prison the next time she tried to sell the house.


    Mu Keer didn''t know how long she stood there because when she came back to her senses, Jia Li, Fu Hua, and the soldiers were long gone.


    "Why is everything I do wrong? Why is there no one supporting me?" Mu Keer asked herself.


    "This girl is so mean. After getting married to a rich husband, she became so heartless and doesn''t care about her cousins. What a wicked girl!" Mu Keer muttered under her breath, then she nced at the house one more time before leaving with a big grudge in her heart.


    In the car, Fu Hua passed another handkerchief to Jia Li to let her wiped her face.


    Jia Li was still thinking back to what her Aunt just revealed to her. And she still couldn''t believe her mother would do something like that.


    Fu Hua could tell what she was thinking about, so he tried tofort her.


    "Jia Li, don''t dwell on what your Aunt said to you, and even if it''s true, there may be more stories to it. You trust your parents, and you believe they are not people like that, so there must be a reason they eloped and got married."


    Jia Li indeed feltforted by his words, and she nced at him with an appreciated look.


    Yes, she believes that if her parents eloped, then they did that for a reason, and there was a reason they didn''t tell her about it.


    Jia Li''s parents did elope, and they decided not to tell Jia Li about it, because they didn''t want her to worry and, also because of other important reasons.


    Before Jia Li and Fu Hua got to the Fu Vi, she had already stopped crying and had covered her emotions.


    Jia Li wanted to meet with her friends, but she felt the situation wasn''t right, and they may not be avable since she didn''t inform them about her arrival.


    After having lunch, Jia Li and Fu Hua rested before leaving for City X.

 Chapter 122 - Fu Hua Talks With Grandfather Fu About Letting Jia Li Make Her Own Decisions

    <h4>Chapter 122 - Fu Hua Talks With Grandfather Fu About Letting Jia Li Make Her Own Decisions</h4>


    After Fu Hua and Jia Li arrived at the Fu House in City X, they began to gather their things and in between that, Grandfather Fu called Fu Hua to his study to find out about their trip to Jia Li''s hometown.


    Grandfather Fu listened for a while beforementing.


    "It''s not right to judge without knowing the full details. If Jia Li wants to find out about her maiden family, we will help her. But for now, without her permission, we can''t do anything."


    Fu Hua nodded in response before asking, " When are you leaving?"


    "I''m waiting for you both to move out first. I don''t want to leave and hear stories that your mother bullied Jia Li, I will not be happy and, I will not tolerate it." Grandfather Fu said.


    "I have an appointment that was moved forward, so after meeting with the person tomorrow morning, I will move out with Jia, and then you can travel." Fu Hua calmly said to him.


    Remember that Fu Hua was supposed to meet with the wife of the minister? Well, something came up from their side, so the appointment was moved to another day.


    "Remember you have to take good care of Jia Li and learn to build a good rtionship with her. I won''t be there to keep my eyes on you, but I believe that since I raised you, you will do the right thing." Grandfather Fu said with a serious gaze on Fu Hua.


    Fu Hua gazed back at him with this reply...


    "Grandfather, you don''t have to keep reminding me of that. I already promised to treat Jia Li well. But you also need to stop making some decisions for her, because you might be doing more harm to her than good."


    "What harm can I cause to my favorite person?" Grandfather Fu asked with an astonished look.


    "Why do you want her toe to FJ? You should know thepetition is very high there, and she may end up getting bullied." Fu Hua asked as he wanted to know his grandfather''s reasons.


    "Why would she be bullied when you are there? You better take good care of her!" Grandfather Fu warned in a serious tone.


    From Fu Hua''s words, he could tell he didn''t have any ns of helping Jia Li out when it came to her working in FJ, so he had to warn him immediately.


    Fu Hua still had his gaze on him and watched him continue to talk.


    "The reason I want Jia Li to go to FJ Styles, it''s because that is the ce that will bring out the best in her. You may not know this, but Jia Li is very talented, so she needs a ce with highpetition like FJ to be able to unleash her talents. This will be to your advantage, and you will thank meter." Grandfather Fu said with a smile.


    Fu Hua''s brows creased in a frown. He doesn''t know what his old man was thinking, but there was no way he was going to pay full attention to him.


    "Grandfather, Jia Li is my wife, and it is right that I should take care of her. But Jia Li is also an adult who can make decisions herself. I hope you know you shouldn''t take that right from her." Fu Hua reminded him.


    Grandfather Fu sighed. "Do you think I''m controlling her? I''m only doing what I feel it''s best for her. Alright, I will listen to you. But you have to make sure she does the right thing because I wouldn''t want her to suffer."


    "I know. I have to leave now." Fu Hua said as he got up and left the study.


    The next day, Fu Hua went to work, and Jia Li went to school. Jia Li has been absent from school for a few days, so she had so many things to catch up with.


    Fu Hua on the other hand was a big Boss who had lots of people under him to help him out, and he didn''t need toe to work every day.


    Today, Jia Li came home from school around 2 pm. And immediately she came back, she went straight to the bedroom to wash up before she sat on Fu Hua''s desk and started to sketch with her sketchbook.


    She had an assignment to work on an exquisite outfit for spring, and the earlier she started, the earlier she would be able to handle the challenges before the submission date.


    Not only was Jia Li and her colleagues asked to make a design draft, but they were also asked to make the dresses they designed in their sketchbooks.


    Jia Li wanted to sketch the perfect dress, but she felt she wasn''t getting so many things right, so she kept tearing out the drafts and throwing them on the floor.


    When Fu Hua came back and walked into the room, that was the scene he saw. He frowned when he saw the papers littered on the floor.


    He saw how busy Jia Li was and wondered what she was up to, so he walked towards her before stopping after a few steps as he lowered his body to pick up one of the paper crumbles.


    Jia Li was into her sketch, so she didn''t notice that Fu Hua had returned and even walked to her side to pick up one of the pieces of paper she crumbled and threw away.


    Unfolding the paper, Fu Hua saw the half-finished sketch. He went on to pick the rest and also had a good nce at them. He could tell that Jia Li was good at designing, but he hasn''t seen that special art in her.


    Fu Hua thought so, maybe because he hasn''t seen all the mind-blowing finished designs Jia Li has in her first sketchbook.


    Jia Li has different sketchbooks, and the first one she has was used whenever she got inspiration. And because her inspiration or creativity is triggered sometimes, Jia Li can use that first sketchbook to put down mind-blowing creativity.


    Jia Li has one sketchbook she normally takes out with her, in case she is in the mood to try out something.


    She also has one she used for her school assignments and all of that.


    At the end of each sessful sketch, she would put down the date she designed the draft, and would sometimes give a name to the design draft.

    <h4>Chapter 123 - Fu Hee Is Shocked To Find Out That Jia Li And Fu Hua Has Moved Out</h4>


    "What are you working on?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on Jia Li.


    Jia Li''s furrowed brows rxed as she turned to nce at Fu Hua who held the stack of papers in his hands.


    Jia Li nced at the floor and saw he had picked all of them up.


    "I''m working on an assignment." Jia Li replied.


    Fu Hua heaved a sigh as he put the papers on the desk before saying to her. "Do you normally get rid of your old drafts?"


    "Yeah, they have a lot of ws, so I can''t keep them." Jia Li replied.


    "You should keep them, they may still be useful." As Fu Hua said that, he picked up a stapler from his drawer, and staple the papers together.


    A smile appeared on Jia Li''s face as she watched Fu Hua''s actions.


    After stapling the paper together, Fu Hua nced over and caught her gazing at him with a smile.


    "Why are you staring at me?" He asked as he felt she was acting weird.


    Jia Li collected her gaze, but the smile remained on her face. She picked up her pencil ??? and continued to sketch as she replied.


    "My mum used to pick up the paper drafts I crumbled and threw away, and then she would arrange them and put them on my desk and ask why I would discard such beautiful drafts. So, when I saw you do the same, I was reminded of it."


    "I see... Can I see what you''ve got there?" Fu Hua asked as he became interested in seeing her drafts.


    Jia Li passed the sketchbook to him.


    "You were asked to design an outfit for spring?" Fu Hua asked the second he nced at it.


    "Yes. It''s thest major assignment given to us, and we need to produce the dress." Jia Li revealed to him.


    "You''ve got a nice draft here. Do you need help toplete it?" Fu Hua asked.


    "No thank you!" Jia Li rejected his help without a second thought.


    ncing at her, Fu Hua understood that she wanted to doplete the design herself, and he didn''t insist.


    "Tell me when you''re ready to start making the dress, I can help with the material rmendation." Fu Hua said as he passed the sketchbook back to her.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li replied as she epted her sketchbook from him.


    "We have to move out tomorrow evening, so you have to gather your things before tomorrow morning. The servants will help you, and you only need to guide them." Fu Hua said to her.


    "Do I need to pack up everything?" Jia Li asked.


    "This is the Fu house, you don''t need to pack everything since we can still return once in a while." Fu Hua replied before walking away into the inner room.


    The next day after breakfast, Jia Li and Fu Hua left the house together. Fu Hua dropped her outside her college gate before driving to FJ.


    Once they left, Grandfather Fu asked Butler Lu to gather his things as he was getting ready to leave for his trip as well.


    When Fu Hee heard that the old man would be away for a few days, she became happy as she began to plot on how to deal with Jia Li, and if possible, cause her not to be able to bear children.


    With Grandfather Fu being away for a few days, was the perfect opportunity for her to do anything to Jia Li and escape from it.


    That morning after breakfast, Fu Hee left the house, and before she could return, Jia Li and Fu Hua''s things had already been packed and moved to their new house, and Grandfather Fu left for his trip after he made sure things were right.


    When Fu Hee came back, she didn''t notice anything was wrong until dinner time when she was asking for Fu Hua.


    Fu ChunHua smiled as she revealed everything to her.


    "How can you be in this house and not know that your son and daughter-inw have moved to their own house?"


    Fu Hee was shocked by this revtion and didn''t want to believe whatever Fu ChunHua said, so she turned to Fu YingPei to ask, "Is it true?"


    Fu YingPei took his time to swallow the food in his mouth before replying.


    "It''s true. Brother told me about it a few days ago."


    Fu Hee felt pain in her chest and quickly ced her hand on that side as her face was squeezed in an ugly way.


    Fu ChunHua scoffed before asking, "Why are you so worked up? Your son has moved out to start a new family with his wife, shouldn''t you be happy?"


    "You crazy woman!" Fu Hee shouted as she hit the table with a fierce gaze directed at Fu ChunHua.


    Everyone at the table was a bit surprised by Fu Hee''s outburst. They knew she wasn''t in support of Fu Hua''s marriage to Jia Li, but her reaction had gone too far.


    Fu ChunHua didn''t get angry about Fu Hee calling her a crazy woman. Instead, sheughed before calling out to Butler Lu, who appeared in the living room once he heard her calling for him.


    "Butler Lu, did you hear and see what happened?" Fu ChunHua asked with a smile.


    "Yes." Butler Lu replied as he walked out to stand before them.


    Just like Fu Hee was very surprised to see Butler Lu, the rest were also surprised.


    "Good! You know, you should do a good job by making sure to report exactly what you saw and heard to Father when he returns." Fu ChunHua instructed with her gaze on him.


    "Yes. " Butler Lu replied before walking away, and then Fu ChunHua turned to nce at Fu Hee with a smirk.


    Fu Hee red at her angrily as she asked, "Did you arrange these?"


    "How could I? I don''t have such rights tomand Butler Lu." Fu ChunHua replied as she picked up her cutlery and began to eat.


    "Are you saying that Father arranged this?" Fu Hee asked with a twisted facial expression.

 Chapter 124 - Fu Hua Beholds A Magnificent Sight

    <h4>Chapter 124 - Fu Hua Beholds A Magnificent Sight</h4>


    "How could I? I don''t have such rights tomand Butler Lu." Fu ChunHua replied as she picked up her cutlery and began to eat.


    "Are you saying that Father arranged this?" Fu Hee asked with a twisted facial expression.


    "It is what it is." Fu ChunHua replied with a smile and continued to eat.


    Fu Hee left the dining room angrily. She was so pissed of with Grandfather Fu.


    "You allow my son to move out of the house, but you don''t let me the mother know about it?" Fu Hee said to herself as she paced around the room.


    When Fu Hua said they would be moving out in the evening, Jia Li thought they would have to go back to the Fu house first, before leaving.


    When Fu Hua came to pick her up after her sses, he took another route. She thought he was following another route home until he stopped the car in more than 10 floors apartment.


    Fu Hua turns off the engine and removed his seatbelt.


    "Where...where are we?" Jia Li asked as she looked around.


    Seeing the confusion on Jia Li''s face, Fu Hua replied. "We are at my ce. Didn''t I tell you we would be moving out today?"


    "Oh..." Jia Li muttered in a low tone. ''I thought we would have to go back first''


    "You don''t have ns of sleeping in the car, do you?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.


    Jia Li recovered from the surprise and removed the seat belt. She picked up her things and followed Fu Hua into the building.


    Entering the elevator, Fu Hua pressed on the button for the 7th floor.


    With a ''ding'' sound from the elevator, they arrived at the 7th floor.


    Jia Li had no idea of where she was, so she could only follow behind Fu Hua. On getting to his door, Fu Hua said to her, "The password is **** in case you have to leave ore in without me."


    "Oh!" Jia Li responded as she watched him key in the password to the house.


    Following Fu Hua into the house, Jia Li stood by the side as he locked the door, before walking behind him into the sitting room.


    When she stepped into the sitting room, Fu Hua''s artistic nature was revealed to her. He had a high taste, and she was no match for him.


    "Come, let me show you to your room." Fu Hua said to her.


    "Okay." Jia Li replied before following him.


    There were a total of three rooms in the house. One of the rooms was turned into a study by Fu Hua, and that was the first ce he showed her.


    "There are two bedrooms and one belongs to you." Fu Hua said while pointing to the door opposite his bedroom.


    Jia Li nced at him before nodding. She was very surprised they wouldn''t be sharing the same bedroom.


    "You can go in and change your clothes, I will warm the food." Fu Hua said before turning away.


    Jia Li only entered the room that belonged to her when Fu Hua left her side.


    Walking into her room, she could see it wasn''t as big as the one she had in the Fu House, but she wasn''tining. She liked the fact that the room was warm and cozy.


    Seeing the painting Fu Hua got for her hanging on the wall at her bedside, she smiled. She took off her books before putting her backpack away.


    Straight up, Jia Li went to wash up and came into the room wrapped only in the big white towel. Since the closet was inside the room, she needed to dress up in the bedroom.


    After picking out her nightdress, She put it on the bed and proceeded to take off the towel, and in that minute, Fu Hua opened the door.


    He was about to walk in when he saw the magnificent sight. He had to pause to admire the sight before him, but too bad he couldn''t satiate his desire because Jia Li screamed and hurriedly wrapped the towel around her body.


    She looked frightened to see Fu Hua, because of the state she was in.


    Fu Hua cleared his throat. "The food is served." He announced before leaving and closing the door behind him.


    Jia Li sat on the bed and looked as if she was about to cry. She withdrew her gaze from the door as she thought...


    ''Does he not know how to knock beforeing in?''


    While Jia Li had that thought, Fu Hua had a different thought in his mind.


    ''Does she not know how to lock the door?''


    Because Jia Li was annoyed with Fu Hua foring in without knocking and seeing her naked without apologizing, she took her time getting dressed beforeing out of her room.


    With the time Jia Li wasted, Fu Hua had already freshened up and was already dressed. So, the time Jia Li opened her door, Fu Hua opened his door, and their eyes met seeing each other after the awkward incident.


    Together, they went to the dining area to have their dinner, which was silent.


    After dinner, Jia Li took the dishes to the kitchen and washed them. When she returned to the sitting room, Fu Hua was still there.


    Jia Li had something to say to him, so she walked towards him. Fu Hua glimpsed at her before looking back to the magazine in his hand.


    "Fu Hua about taking me to school, you don''t have to do that anymore, I can get a cab from here to school directly." Jia Li said in a soft tone.


    Fu Hua used the magazine before replying to her, "I will arrange a cab that will be taking you to school and bringing you back home, and maybe any ce you want to visit."


    "No, don''t stress yourself about that, I can get a cab myself, I don''t want to disturb you." Jia Li said.


    She didn''t want him to be doing things for her every time. She wanted to get used to doing things herself so she wouldn''t be spoiled to the extent that she would forget that he may fail. But Fu Hua did not agree with her.

 Chapter 125 - Feng Alix Returns

    <h4>Chapter 125 - Feng Alix Returns</h4>


    "So you want grandfather toe after me? He has been looking after you and making sure you don''t stress yourself, so howe you got married to me and your standard of living has to drop? You have to listen to me this time around." Fu Hua said in an unrefutable tone.


    Jia Li stood there without saying anything. She didn''t know if he was treating her well because of grandfather Fu, or because it was right he should do so.


    "You can make use of my study if you want to sketch, as it is more like a small workshop." Fu Hua said to her.


    "Oh... good night." Jia Li replied before walking away.


    Fu Hua heaved a sigh after she left. He was about to continue going through the fashion magazine when his phone started to ring.


    "What is it?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Brother, mother is very angry about you moving out without telling her." Fu YingPei disclosed.


    "How is that my business?!" Fu Hua asked with a frown.


    Fu YingPei sighed. "I''m telling you this so you can protect sister-inw. Mum doesn''t like her, and as long as she''s still married to you, she would continue to be bullied by mum."


    "We have moved out already, she can''t bully her." Fu Hua said.


    "You can''t be certain, because there are different ways to get a work done. But just know that mum is very angry." Fu YingPei reminded.


    "Okay, I''ve heard you." Fu Hua said and ended the call before putting his phone aside.


    Somewhere in another City, Feng Alix was just telling her manager to push back her schedule.


    "In a few weeks, I will return to City X to give Fu Hua a big surprise. So, push my schedule back from next month and clear everything out for two weeks." Feng Alix instructed.


    "You will be gone for two weeks?" Her manager asked.


    "Yes. Once two weeks are up, I will return to continue with my schedule. Don''t forget to ept any endorsement thates my way, and do your best to secure more works for me with the slightest chance you get. Don''t forget, that you can''t rx for a bit." Feng Alix said to her.


    "Are you going alone?" She asked.


    "You''reing with me, and that''s the more reason you have to work hard before we leave for City X." Feng Alix said with a smile that was not a smile.


    "Okay" Her manager replied before leaving her presence.


    Feng Alix smiled to herself as she couldn''t wait to see the look on Fu Hua''s face when he would see her.


    Five weekster, it was the month of November, and the weather was colder. This evening, a nended at City X airport.


    A talldy with sunshades and a muffler wrapped around her neck could be seen walking out of the airport with her manager walking behind her with two pieces of luggage in her hand.


    Outside the airport, Feng Alix''s manager gged down to cabs for them.


    Feng Alix got into the first one and gave out the address she was going to, while her manager took the second cab with their luggage in it.


    When Feng Alix arrived at the familiar vicinity, she took out the mirror from her bag and reapplied her lipstick while looking at it.


    She was all smiles after she checked herself out. Her heart was racing at the thought of seeing Fu Hua, and what his reaction would be.


    She could tell how surprised he would be when he saw her. She couldn''t wait to see him and to kiss him and snuggle under the sheets with him.


    At the thoughts of these, Feng Alix blushed.


    When the cab finally pulled up in front of the building, Feng Alix got out of the car after she paid for the ride. She adjusted her clothes before picking up her bag and walking into the building.


    This ce didn''t feel foreign to her because she used toe over to visit Fu Hua sometimes when he asked her toe over, and other times when she went over on her own, so she was very much familiar with the ce.


    Entering the elevator, Feng Alix pressed the button for the 7th floor. In less than a minute, she arrived at the 7th floor and stepped out of the elevator, and made her way to Fu Hua''s door.


    Feng Alix came straight from the airport because she was sure Fu Hua would be back from work.


    Since Fu Hua would sometimes stay at the Fu house, she nned that if she didn''t see him, she would lie naked in his bed and send him her nudes, and then, he would have toe over to see her.


    On getting to Fu Hua''s door, Feng Alix keyed in Fu Hua''s password. The door opened to her, and she walked in and closed the door behind her.


    Feng Alix saw that the lights in the house were turned on. She guessed that Fu Hua was around, so she smiled as she thought to herself, ''perfect timing''


    With a smiling gaze, she put her big handbag down before changing out of her shoes. She was too happy to notice that there were another pair of female shoes on the shoe rack.


    After changing out of her shoes, Feng Alix picked up her bag and walked into the living room. She noticed some changes there, and the living room carried a different scent from the one she knew.


    Feng Alix felt something was weird in the atmosphere, but she didn''t dwell on it because she thought she was feeling weird since it''s been more than a year since shest came around.


    Feng Alix had just put her bag on the couch after bringing out the bottle of wine she bought for them when she heard a sound from the kitchen.


    She turned her gaze towards that direction as she thought, ''Is he in the kitchen?''


    Feng Alix smiled and put the wine on the table before she walked towards the kitchen in light steps.


    Jia Li, on the other hand, was cooking in the kitchen when she heard the door make a sound, so she thought Fu Hua was back because he left to buy a pack of bottled water.


    To Jia Li''s surprise, Fu Hua didn''te into the kitchen after a while, so she decided to go and check.

    <h4>Chapter 126 - Feng Alix Felt The Blood Drain From Her Body</h4>


    To Jia Li''s surprise, Fu Hua didn''te into the kitchen after a while, so she decided to go and check.


    What happened next was that Jia Li and Feng Alix met each other and were both stunned.


    Jia Li felt that Feng Alix was familiar, but she couldn''t remember where she had seen her. Seeing the tall beautifuldy, Jia Li agreed that she was indeed beautiful.


    "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Feng Alix asked as her woman instinct became alert.


    Jia Li was surprised by the question. ''This is my house, and I have been living here for a while. Since when did visitors start asking such questions?''


    Jia Li was tongue-tied by the question as she tried to guess Feng Alix''s identity. And with the way she walked inside the house, Jia Li didn''t need anybody to tell her she was familiar with this ce since she knew the password.


    Feng Alix had a frown sitting on her face while waiting for Jia Li to reply.


    Bing impatient, she asked, "Where is Fu Hua?"


    Jia Li was about to reply when they both heard the door unlock and the sound of steady footsteps followed next. Their attention was caught immediately, so they both fixed their gaze towards the direction the person wasing from.


    Fu Hua had just stepped into the house with the pack of bottled water in his hand and was about to change his shoes when he saw an unfamiliar female shoe on the shelf.


    He frowned as he thought, ''Do we have a visitor''.


    After changing his shoes, he lifted the pack of water and walked towards the sitting room. But he stopped in his steps when he saw that familiar talldy standing beside Jia Li.


    "What are you doing here?" Fu Hua asked in a cold tone as he nced at Feng Alix with a frown.


    Feng Alix smiled when she saw it was Fu Hua who had just walked in. From his tone and facial expression, she could tell that he was still angry with her.


    She took a few steps towards him and only stopped when she was close enough. With a smile on her face, she said to him...


    "I wanted to surprise you bying back unannounced. I came straight from the airport after making a guess you would be here."


    "What did youe back for?" Fu Hua asked.


    Feng Alix was surprised by his question, but still thinking it was because he was mad at her for abandoning him, she had to exin to him.


    "Are you still angry with me? Don''t be angry. I came back to spend some time with you, to make up for the lost times."


    Her words alone were enough for Jia Li to know her identity.


    ''She is Fu Hua''s girlfriend?'' She thought with a stunned gaze.


    Jia Li didn''t know what kind of feelings was bubbling inside her, so she just turned around and left.


    Fu Hua nced at Jia Li''s back with a frown, while Feng Alix nced at her back with curiosity.


    "You still haven''t changed. You took a break and came to see me, but you didn''t think about if I had something important or a busy schedule." Fu Hua said to her before walking into the kitchen with the pack of water in his hand.


    He took out the bottles of water and stacked them in the fridge (even though it was off) before turning to Jia Li to ask...


    "Is the food ready?"


    "Yes, I will serve it now." Jia Li replied without turning to look at him.


    Fu Hua wanted to say something to her, but Feng Alix who has been standing outside the door walked into the kitchen and asked, "Fu Hua, who is she? Is she a maid?"


    She felt that there was something off about the rtionship between him and the woman he was talking to and had to ask that question.


    Fu Hua turned to look at her with a frown, "This is my wife, does she look like a maid to you? Please check yournguage."


    Jia Li was surprised that he would acknowledge her as his wife in front of his girlfriend, the bitter feeling in her heart, slowly dissipated as she rxed.


    Feng Alix felt the blood drain from her body as her face turned ashen-white.


    She tried to smile, but her facial expression was too ugly.


    "Fu Hua, what kind of joke is this? Please stop it, you''re not good at it."


    "You just said that I''m not good at joking, that means you know me very well, and know that I don''t joke. I am married, and this is my wife, Jia Li." Fu Hua said, making it clear to her.


    Feng Alix was still in a state of shock when Fu Hua introduced Jia Li to her.


    "Jia Li, this is my ex-girlfriend, Feng Alix. I have mentioned her to you before." Fu Hua said to Jia Li.


    "Oh!" Jia Li said as she turned to nce over at Feng Alix. Seeing the state she was in, Jia Li couldn''t bring herself to say ''hello'' to her.


    Jia Li didn''t want to get involved in their matter, because from the look of things, Feng Alix had no idea of who she was, and that Fu Hua was already married.


    Jia Li didn''t have time to dwell on their matter, so she turned off the gas and started to dish the food.


    "Fu...Fu Hua, what''s the meaning of this? When did you get married and howe you didn''t say a thing to me?" Feng Alix asked after a while. She felt her heart was in pain.


    "Now that you are asking, I will answer you." Fu Hua replied before walking out of the kitchen.


    Feng Alix nced at Jia Li''s back before following Fu Hua to the sitting room.


    "I got married to Jia Li around the ending of September. So, now that you know that I''m married, don''t call or text me anymore. If it''s work-rted, you know the right person to meet." Fu Hua said to her without caring about her emotions.

 Chapter 127 - Jia Li Flees From Fu Hua After A Hot Kiss

    <h4>Chapter 127 - Jia Li Flees From Fu Hua After A Hot Kiss</h4>


    "I got married to Jia Li around the ending of September. So now you know that I''m married, don''t call or text me anymore. If it''s work-rted, you know the right person to meet." Fu Hua said to her without caring about her emotions.


    After a while, Feng Alix found her voice. "Why did you do this to me?" She asked as tears brimmed in her eyes.


    "What did I do to you? That I got married without telling you after you abandoned our ns in pursuit of fame?" Fu Hua asked in a cold tone.


    "But I asked you for time and you agreed to it, why would you do this to me, to us?" Feng Alix asked with tears in her eyes as she had her gaze fixed on him.


    "When did I agree. Listen carefully, it''s over between us and nothing will bring us back together. I have been waiting for you to return, so we can break up officially, just like the same way we got together." Fu Hua said without emotions.


    Right now, he had no feelings for her, as everything had died away.


    "Fu Hua, I don''t believe you would do this to me! Did your family force you to marry that woman?" Feng Alix asked as she tried to touch Fu Hua''s arm, but he dodged her.


    "It doesn''t matter what the truth is, go back home, and don''t try to approach me again! Make use of the door!" Fu Hua said as he pointed at the door.


    "How could you be so mean to me after the years we''ve been together? You promised not to break up with me unless I was the one that brought it up, but you went back on your words, you cheated on me, and you got married and you''re only telling me about it now?" Feng Alix asked as she reminded him of the exact words he said to her over a year ago.


    Fu Hua felt an oing headache and regretted why he made that statement. ncing back at her, he scoffed.


    "You first cheated on me. You lied to me, and then you left me hanging. You know what happens when you don''t value me? You lose me. Alix, you have long lost me. And I have the right to the final interpretation of my words... you brought up the breakup with your actions, so I epted it wholeheartedly. You may use the door now!"


    Fu Hua said in a cold tone, and this time around, his gaze was fierce.


    Looking at the man that was every woman''s dream, and the man she managed to capture after a lot of hard work, Feng Alix saw that she couldn''t recognize who he was anymore.


    The times they had disagreements, he has never been so mean to her like today.


    Feng Alix who has always been a strong woman, felt hot tears roll down her cheeks because it was toote for her to realize that she has lost something huge.


    Not being able to tolerate the situation she can never control, Feng Alix picked up her bag and her shoes before running out of the house.


    After she left, Fu Hua went to lock the door, and Jia Li finally came out of the kitchen and served the food.


    Fu Hua saw the food had been served, so he went to sit down, and Jia Li joined him a minuteter.


    Their dinner was silent as usual.


    Jia Li literally yed with her food. She didn''t eat much, and Fu Hua noticed it.


    "Why are you not eating?" He asked with a frown.


    Jia Li replied without looking at him, "I don''t have much appetite."


    Fu Hua didn''t say anything more, because he thought she was not happy because of what happened.


    After eating, Jia Li cleared their tes, while Fu Hua remained sitting on the dining seat. When Jia Li was through, Fu Hua called her over.


    "Jia Li,e over here..." Fu Huamanded.


    ''What''s with that tone?'' Jia Li thought as she made her way to him in slow steps.


    When she was three steps away from him, she stopped.


    Fu Hus sighed as he gazed at her face. "Are you angry?"


    "No." Jia Li replied as she slowly nced at him. Next, she tried to turn and walk away, but Fu Hua caught her hand and pulled her towards him.


    Jia Li let out a yelp as she fell on Fu Hua''sp. And before she could recover from the shock, she felt two warm palms, hold her face before a slightly cold pair of lips, covered her.


    Jia Li was beyond shocked by Fu Hua''s action, and when she came back to reality, she tried to struggle and release herself from his grasp, but Fu Hua did not let her.


    Fu Hua continues to kiss her, so she gave up struggling. Fu Hua only let her go when he considered that she was starting to get breathless.


    Immediately he let her go, Jia Li fled. She ran into her room and shut the door with a loud thud, before using her body to block the door.


    She was still breathing heavily as she thought back to the scene at the dining room.


    She had no idea why Fu Hua kissed her so suddenly, but she was thankful she escaped quickly before he could think of swallowing her whole.


    A smile appeared on Fu Hua''s face when Jia Li ran away from him, but the smile did notst, as he couldn''t believe he was starting to be amused by Jia Li.


    Fu Hua did not stay long in the living room, because he had some work to do in his workshop, so he turned off the lights in the dining room and went to the sitting room, and there, he saw the wine Feng Alix left on the table.


    By just a nce, Fu Hua recognized the wine as a very expensive wine brand, but he was not moved. He turned off the light in the sitting room before walking away with an unfazed look on his face.

 Chapter 128 - Feng Alixs Trick Goes Wrong

    <h4>Chapter 128 - Feng Alix''s Trick Goes Wrong</h4>


    The next morning when Fu Hua was enjoying his morning ck coffee, his phone rang. He had no idea who was calling, but he decided to answer the call.


    "Mr. Fu, it''s me, Alix''s manager." Feng Alix manager reported.


    Because Fu Hua wanted to grab the sandwich Jia Li put on his te, he chose to hold his mug of ck coffee in his hand than holding his phone.


    Fu Hua put his phone on speaker mode, and now, Jia Li who was sitting at the same table, was able to hear the conversation.


    "Mr. Fu, Alix got in dangerst night." The manager reported.


    "Why did you call me? I don''t have any business with her, didn''t she tell you about it?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Mr. Fu, I don''t know what happened between you and Alixst night, But I called to check up on herst night since she was supposed to spend the night at your ce, but someone else answered the call, and informed me that Alix was involved in a serious ident, was being rushed to the hospital."


    After the manager revealed this news, Jia Li was surprised and worried, while Fu Hua''s brows furrowed in a frown.


    "Where is she?" He asked.


    "In the hospital." The manager replied hastily.


    "Send the address to me." Fu Hua instructed before terminating the call immediately and went back to eating his breakfast.


    Jia Li who heard the whole conversation peered at him from the corner of her eyes.


    "When you''re ready, I will drop you in school first." Fu Hua said as he nced at her. And at the same time, he seemed unbothered.


    After breakfast, Fu Hua drove Jia Li to school, so the contracted driver didn''t have to take her to school today.


    After dropping Jia Li in school, Fu Hua drove straight to the address the manager sent to his phone.


    On getting to the hospital, the manager was already waiting at the entrance for him.


    "Mr. Fu." The manager called out as she bowed in greeting.


    "Quick, I don''t have time, take me to where she is." Fu Hua said without acknowledging her greeting.


    "Yes, Sir." The manager said as she led the way for him while wondering if they had really broken up because, from his reaction and actions, he didn''t seem to hold any feelings for Feng Alix.


    "How did the ident happen?" Fu Hua asked.


    "When she left your house, she got into the road without looking and a car hit her." The manager replied.


    Fu Hua didn''t say anything anymore till they got to the VIP room where Feng Alix was admitted.


    When she was first brought to the hospital, she was in the general ward, but after her manager came, she was moved to the VIP ward.


    When Fu Hua walked into the room, he saw Feng Alix lying on the bed with her eyes closed. She had bandages on her right leg and left hand. Also, there was a neck brace on her neck.


    She was lying there with her eyes closed.


    "What did the doctor say?" Fu Hua asked, taking a moment off to nce at the manager.


    "She has a minor break on her neck with many bruises all over her body. Her right leg is broken, and there was a cut on her left hand." The manager reported.


    "How long does she need for recovery?" Fu Hua asked before ncing back at Feng Alix.


    The manager nced at Fu Hua as she replied, "8 weeks at least."


    "2 months? What about her work? As her manager, what do you n to do about it?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.


    "I...I... will have to make some calls over there to take some weeks off, but I doubt it will work because she might be reced from most of the works we managed to secure, 2 months it''s a long time." The manager replied.


    "How long did she n to stay over there?" Fu Hua asked with a serious expression on his face.


    He wanted to find out what Feng Alix''s ns were if he was wrong about her being selfish.


    The manager was tongue-tied and didn''t know if she should say the truth, or cover up Feng Alix''s lies.


    Fu Hua who could tell what she was thinking, cautioned her immediately. "Don''t try to lie."


    The manager heard Fu Hua''s cold tone and knew he was not to be trifled with, especially now that his heart was cold.


    ncing at Feng Alix who was still sleeping, she looked back at Fu Hua before she started to exin things. She told Fu Hua everything she knew about.


    "I was never wrong, she didn''t make ns for us, she was only after fame. She didn''t think to tell me about her change of ns, did she think I''m just anyone, she can manipte at her will?" Fu Hua said with a frosty look.


    "Mr. Fu, she repented at the end, and that''s the reason we came back so she could exin things to you and spend some time with you." The manager said as she tried to remedy the situation.


    "I guess you still don''t know that I am married." Fu Hua said to her.


    The manager was so shocked, and now the reason for Feng Alix''s ident was clear. She must have been so heartbroken that she ran into the road and had an ident.


    "You, contact her agent. And as her manager, you should look after her. I don''t have any business with her, so don''t expect me toe back here." Fu Hua said before turning away to leave.


    "Mr. Fu..." The manager called out, but all she could see was his back which was as hard as a rock.


    Fu Hua didn''t turn back and continued walking till he came out of the building and got into his car. He drove away without a second thought.


    The manager nced at Feng Alix who was still lying in bed and could only me her because she was the cause of her problems.


    Feng Alix deliberately walked into the middle of the road, but she didn''t expect that the ident would be serious.


    She just wanted to have a few scratches that could heal in two weeks, so Fu Hua would pity her ande to take care of her, and when two weeks were up, she would travel back, and not dy her projects over there.


    But what she didn''t expect was that the ident would be serious, and she would suffer a big loss.


    The manager only has to wait till she woke up to break the news to her. Thinking of Feng Alix''s reaction would be worthwhile because she would lose her important jobs, and the person''s attention she was trying to get, failed.

 Chapter 129 - Grandfather Fu Bans Fu Hee From Visiting Jia Li And Fu Hua

    <h4>Chapter 129 - Grandfather Fu Bans Fu Hee From Visiting Jia Li And Fu Hua</h4>


    At the Fu Vi, Grandfather Fu was in his study as usual when Butler Lu walked in to whisper something to his ear.


    Grandfather Fu''s sight widened a little before he rxed.


    "She really went straight to see him from the airport? I wonder how Jia Li felt seeing another woman walk into her house without the little courtesy of ringing the doorbell." Grandfather Fu said.


    "Sir, right now, that woman is hospitalized after getting into an identst night, and master Fu Hua went to visit her." Butler Lu informed.


    "No, this nonsense can''t go on! Fu Hua promised to take care of Jia Li, but what is he doing? He has to move out of that ce immediately!" Grandfather Fu said angrily.


    He couldn''t ept the fact that Feng Alix got into Fu Hua''s house because she knew his password. He was annoyed that Jia Li might have suffered a loss.


    "Sir, we have to get a house ready." Butler Lu reminded him.


    "Prepare one as a backup n in case he finds a better one. They have to move out of that ce within a week. And when they move out, send Ocean to Jia Li, I want to see which woman dares to walk in as she pleases." Grandfather Fu said in annoyance.


    "But Sir will master Hua like the idea of a dog staying inside his house?" Butler Lu asked with his gaze on the old man.


    "In fact, there is no need to get him to find another house. The vi we have here is a little far away and will be inconvenient for Jia Li, just buy one today and start renovating it ording to his standards. We mustn''t give him a new room to reject it." Grandfather Fu said thoughtfully.


    "I get it, he will have no choice than to ept it." Butler Lu said with a slight smile on his face.


    "Exactly! What has Fu Hee been up to recently?" Grandfather Fu asked with his gaze on him.


    "She goes out a few times a week to visit the woman from the Bai family." Butler Lu reported.


    Grandfather Fu asked with a frown, "Which of them?"


    "Bai Fen, the one she is good friends with?" Butler Lu exined.


    "Who knows what she is thinking." Grandfather Fu said as he tapped on his desk.


    Butler Lu walked closer to him and said in a low tone, "Sir, she still hates Miss Jia Li, so she might be up to something."


    "I know. As long as she is still interacting with that woman from the Bai family, her attitude will never change. It''s just that I don''t understand when Fu Hee became so easy to manipte." Grandfather Fu said with a sigh.


    He just couldn''ty his hands on Fu Hee''s change in attitude. Before Fu Hee used to be smart, even smarter than Fu ChunHua, but these days, it seems that their brain capacity and roles were reversed.


    "Sir, what should we do about her?" Butler Lu asked.


    "Leave her, but make sure she doesn''t step her feet in Jia Li and Fu Hua''s house. I will even give her that order today." Grandfather Fu said.


    It looks like he was fully prepared to protect Jia Li at all cost, just like he has been doing.


    When Jia Li and Fu Hua moved out newly, he didn''t send any servant to their house. After all, he was afraid Fu Hee could easily manipte the servant and get her to bully Jia Li since she still had some influence because she has been the mistress of the Fu family for so many years.


    Grandfather Fu thought deeply about this matter, he knew the servants would still respect Fu Hee, so he ruled out the option of sending a servant to them from the Fu house.


    Another reason was that he wanted them to bond for some weeks before he employs a new servant for them.


    "Lu, employ the new servants that have been training, pick up a few, I will select them myself. When their house is ready, send Jia Li''s servant from here to that ce, she is good to Jia Li, and I will also speak with her so she won''t be easy to manipte. I can''t trust my daughter-inw again." Grandfather Fu said in a heavy tone.


    "Sir, everything will be taken care of as per your request." Butler Lu said with a smile, before turning to leave.


    That same day in the evening, Grandfather Fu warned Fu Hee about going to visit Fu Hua and Jia Li.


    "Father, are you banning me from visiting my son?" Fu Hee asked with a frown.


    ''What''s wrong with this old man?'' She thought.


    "Do you have any right to visit your son when you don''t ept his wife? Don''t think about going there if you don''t want to get in trouble!"


    Fu Hee wanted to roll her eyes at the old man, but she refrained from doing that. Her action might cause her something valuable, so she controlled herself and left his sight.


    She has been looking for a way to monitor Jia Li and Fu Hua, but she hasn''t found a way. She was thinking the old man would send a few servants to them since he liked Jia Li so much and wouldn''t want her to do any work.


    But she was surprised that he didn''t send anyone over to help them with the house chores, and her ns to monitor Jia Li through the servants failed.


    And now that she was nning to visit them to ess what was happening, and how their rtionship was, he already banned her from doing that before she could even start.


    His actions made her wonder if he could hear her thoughts.


    After Fu Hee left, Butler Lu came to report something to him.


    "Sir, there is a request for an interview."


    "What interview? Don''t these people know that I don''t ept interviews? Reject it!" Grandfather Fu said as he looked away.


    Butler Lu sighed and turned to leave with the tablet in his hand.

 Chapter 130 - Feng Alix Plots Again

    <h4>Chapter 130 - Feng Alix Plots Again</h4>


    Two dayster, Feng Alix woke up after an afternoon nap. She was still bedridden and looked very pitiful.


    She has just learned of her situation and some jobs she would lose because of it. Not only that, but she also failed to get Fu Hua''s attention.


    She couldn''t ept that she would be pushed to the end of the cliff. Now that she has understood how foolish she was, she couldn''t ept it.


    What was more painful to her and harder to ept was losing Fu Hua''s love and trust. And now, he didn''t even care about her even when she was in this state.


    Feng Alix had tears in her eyes as she squeezed the sheets with one hand.


    As she was thinking, an idea dropped in her head, so she said to her manager, "Call Fu Hua over. Tell him that I want to see him for thest time."


    "Huh!" ???? Her manager was really confused about her request.


    "But Mr. Fu said I shouldn''t call him, so he wouldn''t pick my calls." Her manager said with a confused look.


    "I don''t care, you have to get him toe and visit me. You can use my phone to make the call. Tell him that I have gone into depression from losing him, my jobs, and the injuries I sustained from the ident. Look for a way to get him toe here." Feng Alix instructed.


    "Her manager felt she was nning something from her facial expression and the instructions she was giving out, so she asked, "What next?"


    "When hees, take a picture of us together, and don''t let him find out about it. We need that picture to create a hype or a scandal depending on how big the mes are." Feng Alix said.


    She wanted to smile foring up with a brilliant n, but she was in so much pain that she couldn''t handle a smile.


    "The news of you being hospitalized after getting into an ident has leaked to your fans, do you think he will agree toe?" Her manager asked with doubt.


    "He wille. Since I said I want to see him for thest time, and because he wouldn''t want me to disturb him again, he woulde, just do your work." Feng Alix said with confidence.


    "Okay, I will give him a call, but you might infuriate him if he finds out about the picture." Her manager said after a while.


    "Do I look like I care?" Feng Alix said.


    Feng Alix knew Fu Hua and could guess some of the ways he thinks, so it might not be hard to get him toe over.


    Feng Alix''s manager phoned Fu Hua with Alix''s phone, and it took up to the 10th time before he answered the call.


    "Speak!" Fu Hua said angrily. He was currently in his office and was busy with hisptop when the call came in.


    At first, he didn''t want to answer the call, but his phone kept ringing, so he had to answer it.


    Feng Alix''s manager was happy he answered the call, and she immediately used that opportunity to ry Alix''s message to him.


    "She wants to see me for thest time? It looks like she is finally starting to think straight. I am very busy today, tell her I wille over tomorrow, and she only has 5 minutes to say whatever she wants to say, so she can start thinking about how to make good use of the 5 minutes since she has enough time to think about it." Fu Hua said and ended the call right away.


    "What did he say?" Feng Alix asked in a tensed tone with a curious gaze on her manager.


    "He agreed toe, but he will do that tomorrow. He said you only have 5 minutes to tell him everything you have to say." Her manager revealed.


    "Five minutes are enough, as long as you get to take the picture of us together." Feng Alix said as she managed a smirk.


    When Fu Hua got home that day, he didn''t see Jia Li in the living room, so he checked the kitchen but he didn''t see her there as well.


    He had no choice but to go to her bedroom. He didn''t see her as well, so he started to wonder if she wasn''t back from school yet.


    "But it''ste, where could she be?" Fu Hua asked himself after he came out from her bedroom. Then, his sight went straight to the door of the workshop.


    ''She might be there.'' He thought as he made his way over.


    As he opened the door to the workshop, he saw Jia Li there, and she was busy sewing some pieces of materials together with a hand sewing machine.


    Jia Li heard the footsteps and raised her head to nce at Fu Hua.


    "You''re back?" She asked in a soft tone.


    "Mmmm" Fu Hua hummed in reply.


    Jia Li didn''t say anything to him again and went back to continue with her work.


    Fu Hua had his gaze on her as he made his way over. He saw that she was putting on a sleeveless dress, and her jacket was on the couch nearby.


    Jia Li was so into her work that she had no idea if when he made his way to her side and even came to stand behind her.


    From that angle, Fu Hua could see Jia Li''s ample breasts, due to the V-neck dress she was putting on. Not only could he see her breasts, but he could also see her deep cleavage.


    Something in him was tempting him to touch her, and surprisingly, he yielded to the temptation.


    He slowly reached his right hand into her dress from behind, and gently squeezed her left breast.


    His actions shocked Jia Li and when she felt the warm hand pressing her breasts, she shrieked and put down the pieces of materials she was sewing.


    Fu Hua didn''t stop there. He continued to squeeze her breast gently and leaned in to put his face on the side of her neck.

    <h4>Chapter 131 - A Little Romance In The Workshop</h4>


    Fu Hua didn''t stop there. He continued to squeeze her breast gently and leaned in to put his face on the side of her neck.


    He slowly breathed in her scent and continued to squeeze her breast.


    Jia Li quickly grabbed his hand and tried to stop him.


    "Fu Hua." She called out in a soft tone.


    "Shhhh... rx." Fu Hua whispered to her ear before sticking out his tongue and licking her neck, and next, he proceeded to kiss her neck.


    Jia Li felt his wet tongue kiss her neck, and she shut her eyes as goosebumps appeared on her skin.


    She breathed heavily as Fu Hua continued to tease and fondle her breasts. She felt like she was under a spell, because she couldn''t even say ''No'' to him, or push him away.


    She didn''t know it would be so easy for him to control her.


    From her neck, Fu Hua kissed her down to her shoulder. He found her zipper at the back of her dress, and slowly withdrew his hand from her breast.


    Jia Li heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that he had let her go. But when she heard the sound of her zipper opening, she was startled and jumped up from her seat.


    "Why are you so scared?" Fu Hua asked with a slight smile with a heated gaze on her.


    Jia Li was ufortable with that gaze, so she looked away and nced towards the direction her jacket was.


    She forgot she was busty, and the kind of dress she wore, revealed her cleavage.


    But it wasn''t her fault, this was still Autumn, but she was starting to get hot since the temperature in the room was warm, so she had to take off her jacket.


    And when Fu Hua walked in, all her concentration was on sewing the materials on her table together, so she forgot about her dressing.


    Fu Hua followed Jia Li''s sight to her jacket and smiled even more. He pushed the seat aside, so there was nothing in-between them.


    "Did you just notice that you seduced me, so you want to cover your body?" Fu Hua asked as he trapped her.


    Jia Li had nowhere to escape to, as she was trapped between Fu Hua and the table behind her.


    Replying to his words, she looked down and said, "I didn''t do it on purpose, I was feeling hot so I took my jacket off."


    "Don''t worry, I am not ming you. You are free to dress the way you want while you are at home." Fu Hua said as he stretched his hands towards her face.


    Jia Li shrank her neck back in fear, but he still caught her face, and held it in ce, before leaning in to kiss her lips.


    Fu Hua kissed Jia Li''s lips gently for some seconds, before moving his hands to squeeze her butts.


    Jia Li felt that things were getting out of hand, and so, called his attention. "Fu Hua, I''m hungry."


    "Don''t talk." Fu Hua said to her before lifting her and cing her butts on the table, then he came to stand in between her legs and ced his palms on her face again, as he stared into her eyes.


    Jia Li looked away when their eyes met. Fu Hua smiled when he noticed that Jia Li was shy, and was starting to get aroused.


    Fu Hua leaned in to kiss Jia Li''s lips, and he did it so sweetly, like he was licking a candy, and chewing a bar of chocte at the same time.


    While kissing her, Fu Hua raised her dress and caressed her inner thighs with his palms, and Jia Li moaned in-between the hot kisses.


    Fu Hua continued kissing her lips with his hands caressing herps while their eyes were closed. He was starting to feel a reaction from his member down there.


    Jia Li, on the other hand, felt funny. She was aroused and could feel the pleasure of pain down there, and as if to meet up to her expectations, Fu Hua moved his member and positioned it to hit her milky way.


    Jia Li let out a moan as she felt the waves of pleasure hit her. Fu Hua grunted as he ground his member against her.


    They both still had their clothes on, but still felt pleasure that way, and couldn''t wait for the next part.


    Right, when Fu Hua unzipped Jia Li''s dress, he heard a growling sounding from her stomach, so he paused in his actions.


    Jia Li felt embarrassed and buried her face in his neck.


    "I doubted you when you told me you were hungry because I thought you wanted to run away, but it looks like I was wrong." Fu Hua said with a smile as he slowly calmed down.


    Jia Li didn''t reply as she slowly raised her face from his neck.


    When she told him she was hungry, she meant it, but she also wanted to run away from him.


    Jia Li sometimes felt hungry while working. And even before Fu Hua walked in, she has been feeling very hungry but didn''t stand up to look for food.


    The hunger she felt was like never before, but she tolerated it for a while until Fu Hua came to distract her from work, and it was then that she understood how hungry she was.


    "Come with me, let''s find something to eat together." Fu Hua said as he zipped her dress and helped her to get down from the desk.


    Jia Li followed him out of the room with her head down, because she was embarrassed with what they did inside the workshop, and how her stomach embarrassed her earlier.


    "Change your clothes first, I will serve dinner."


    When they got to their room doors, Jia Li said to him in a soft tone before walking away in a hurry.


    Fu Hua had his hands in his trouser pockets as he watched Jia Li leave in a hurry. A slight smile appeared on his face before he went into his bedroom.

 Chapter 132 - An Ambiguous Caption

    <h4>Chapter 132 - An Ambiguous Caption</h4>


    The next morning, Jia Li and Fu Hua had breakfast together, with Jia Li eating so little.


    "Why don''t you eat more, you have an exam today." Fu Hua said with a frown.


    "No, I''m fine. It''s exactly because I have an exam this morning that I''m tensed." Jia Li replied as she wiped her mouth.


    "Are you that nervous?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Yeah, and if I eat more, I will end up throwing everything up. I don''t want my stomach to be ufortable when I''m already dealing with being tense." Jia Li said.


    "Okay. I will take you out for dinnerter today." Fu Hua said to her after ncing at the food she ate so little from, and she tried hard to hide her smile.


    After breakfast, Fu Hua and Jia Li left the house together.


    Today, Fu Hua let her take the cab to school, while he drove straight to the hospital to see Feng Alix.


    When Fu Hua got to the hospital and walked straight into Feng Alix''s room, he saw her sitting up on the bed with her back against the pillow.


    She looked so different from what she used to look like.


    When Feng Alix saw Fu Hua, her heart ddened, and it was time to act.


    Her manager who was in the room greeted Fu Hua and asked him toe to sit on the chair, but he chose to remain to stand, so she sat back down and picked up her phone.


    "Fu Hua... you really came to see me?" Feng Alix asked in a weak tone with an affectionate gaze.


    "I said I woulde to see you, and since I came, then you should be aware that your time has started counting." Fu Hua said to her, as he remained unfazed by her condition.


    The joy Feng Alix felt earlier after seeing him, disappeared instantly.


    "Fu Hua, you don''t have to remind me about it. I asked to see you for thest time before I go travel out for treatment. I came back to see you, and this is all I got." Feng Alix said as she started to cry.


    But a reminder from her manager, caused her to stop crying.


    "Alix, you broke 6 rib bones, remember what the doctor said."


    After reminding her in a concerned tone, she started to type away on her phone, or more like pretending to be busy while waiting for the right opportunity to take the picture.


    Up till now, Fu Hua hadn''t gone close to Feng Alix, he has been standing some distance quite away from her.


    To Feng Alix, it was more like he didn''t want to be in the same space as her, and she felt more heartbroken.


    Feng Alix knew she didn''t have much time left with him, so she had to do something to make hime close to her.


    At that moment, she caught the sight of the ss of water on the table close to her bed, but because she was injured, she knew she couldn''t move around. So she pretended to be thirsty and stretched her hand towards it with her face squeezed in pain.


    Her manager pretended to be very busy with her phone, so she didn''t lookup.


    Fu Hua''s patience was depreciating each passing moment, and when he saw her trying to reach out for the water, he walked towards her bed and took the ss of water before passing it to her.


    Her manager immediately got hold of the opportunity to take the pictures.


    Fu Hua didn''t notice what was happening, since the manager had already turned off the shutter sound from the camera when he walked in.


    After passing the ss of water to her, Fu Hua stepped away before reminding her, "You have 2 mins left."


    Feng Alix saw the thumbs up ???? her manager gave to her and knew that their mission was sessful, so she smiled in her heart while ncing at Fu Hua with a pitiful gaze.


    "Fu Hua, don''t you feel anything for me? I came this far to see you, but look what happened to me? I lost more than half of the jobs I worked so hard to secure, don''t you feel a little pity for me?" Feng Alix asked.


    "I pity you, and that''s the only emotion I can feel towards you. You shouldn''t havee back, because no one asked you to. I hope you have said everything you wanted to tell me because your time is up." Fu Hua said before turning around to leave.


    "Fu Hua, please hold on..." Feng Alix said as she tried to call him back, but it did not work.


    Fu Hua walked out of the room, without looking back.


    After ten seconds of silence in the room, Feng Alix wiped her tears before saying to her manager, "Bring the phone, let me take a look at the pictures."


    Her manager brought the phone to her. "I seeded in getting only 2 pictures."


    "Two pictures? That''s fine." Feng Alix said as nced through the pictures.


    "We were lucky to get one, the other one is blurry." Feng Alix said as she deleted the blurry one.


    "Yes, Mr. Fu was so fast, that I almost missed out." Her manager confessed.


    "Log into my Weibo and Instagram ounts, and post the picture. I will tell you the caption to put." Feng Alix said as she nced at her bandaged leg.


    Her manager took back the phone from her and did as instructed.


    "Since your fans know you were hospitalized, this picture will confirm the news, and also link you to Mr. Fu." Her manager said.


    "That''s exactly what I want. I want everyone to specte on our rtionship. When we were dating, I didn''t want anyone to know about it, but now he got married without ending things with me, I''m going to cause amotion for him. He hasn''t been in a scandal before, now he has work to do." Feng Alix said with a smirk.


    Her manager sighed...


    "What caption should I add?"


    ''After being hospitalized for 5 days due to the serious injuries from the ident, I was already slipping into depression, and I only felt a little better when someone special came to visit. Thank you so much, Mr. Fu.''


    "How does that sound?" Feng Alix asked with her gaze on her manager.


    "Very ambiguous!" She replied as she typed away on her phone.


    "Exactly what I want. Now prepare for us to leave this hospital now. Is the private hospital my mum prepared ready?" Feng Alix asked.


    "Yes, and your room is ready as well. We can leave now." Her manager replied and kept the phone away after posting the picture sessfully.


    "Good, we can leave now." Feng Alix said with a smile, as she couldn''t wait for thetest news to explode.

 Chapter 133 - Grandfather Fu Scolds Fu Hua And Accepts An Interview To Clarify Things

    <h4>Chapter 133 - Grandfather Fu Scolds Fu Hua And epts An Interview To rify Things</h4>


    It didn''t take up to an hour for Feng Alix''s post to explode. Not because she was too popr, but because of Fu Hua''s involvement.


    And just like she wished, the news was the talk of everyone. The bloggers, reporters, and everyone curious about their rtionship carried their news around.


    Fu Hua was working in his office when Fu YingPei came into his office.


    Fu Hua nced at him with a frown and asked, "What are you doing here?"


    "Brother, is it true that you''re dating that supermodel, Alix?" Fu YingPei asked in a serious tone as he approached his table.


    Fu Hua''s brows were furrowed as he stopped what he was doing to face him.


    "What nonsense are you talking about, where did you hear that from?" Fu Hua asked.


    "It''s all over the news that you are dating Feng Alix, and she was the one that posted the picture of you two together." Fu YingPei revealed.


    "Where did you see the picture? Show me!" Fu Hua asked as he stretched his hand towards him, and YingPei came to stand beside him before passing his phone to Fu Hua.


    When Fu Hua saw the post, he was boiling in rage. He felt like strangling Feng Alix when he saw her public post.


    He saw that there was indeed a picture of them together and that was the scene that happened in the morning.


    "Brother, what''s going on?" Fu YingPei asked in a worried tone, after seeing Fu Hua''s angry countenance.


    "I indeed went to the hospital to see Alix because I thought she had something important to say to me. We used to date, and I got married to Jia Li without ending things with her, and now, she is taking revenge on me." Fu Hua said.


    "Huh? Howe I didn''t know about this?" Fu YingPei asked with a confused look????


    He was really surprised that his brother once dated the supermodel, but didn''t say anything to him.


    "Brother, you have to find a way to clear your name since you''re not involved with her. She made the caption sound ambiguous, you can''t sue her for that reason since she didn''t say you two were dating." Fu YingPei pointed out.


    "But I can at least arrest the person that took this picture." Fu Hua said in an angry tone.


    "Who took the picture?" Fu YingPei asked in a low tone.


    "We were only three in that room. Me, Alix, and her manager, so who did you think took the picture?" Fu Hua asked as he slowly looked up.


    "Her manager. And I''m sure she must have ordered her to do this. But brother, you need to find a way to exin things to sister-inw, and grandfather." Fu YingPei reminded him.


    "I am not afraid of anybody, but I don''t need grandfather''s scolding right now." Fu Hua said, and right then, he got a call from the old man.


    Grandfather Fu was resting in the garden when Butler Lu hurried towards him in quick steps. And before the old man could ask what was going on, Butler Lu showed the news to him while exining things to him.


    Grandfather Fu was very angry and immediately asked him to ring Fu Hua up.


    "How could he go to visit that girl in the hospital, now look at the news. Does he know the consequences of being in a scandal?!"


    When Fu Hua answered the call, the old man started scolding him immediately.


    "Fu Hua, what is the meaning of these? How could you go to see that girl, have you forgotten that you''re married?! How do you want to exin things to Jia Li, do you want the poor girl to get depressed that her husband went behind her back to visit his old me?!"


    Fu Hua listened on and on till he got a chance to exin himself.


    "Grandfather, Alix, and I are over. I have already ended things with her. I only went to visit her because she said she had something important to say to me for thest time, I didn''t know she had this trick up her sleeve."


    "Your foolish actions want to make me take a DNA test to confirm if you are my grandchild. I also want to question my teachings to you! How could you blindly fall into a woman''s trap?! You better find ways to exin things to Jia Li!"


    After scolding him, Grandfather Fu ended the call and he was breathing heavily.


    Butler Lu sighed and took the phone from him. He was about to leave when he heard the old man call him back.


    "Lu, wait, ept that interview that I rejected, but I have a few questions to add there." Grandfather Fu said after a few seconds of thinking.


    "Huh..." ???? Butler Lu was surprised. Not only did he ept the interview he rejected a few days ago, but he also wanted to add a few questions to the ones they had for him.


    Butler Lu couldn''t tell what the man was thinking.


    Seeing his confused look, Grandfather Fu exined...


    "I want to use this opportunity to announce that Fu Hua is married, let me see how other women will dare to get ideas about a married man! That shameless woman caused so much trouble, who knows where the next one will pop out from?".


    Butler Lu thought that the Old man surely had no idea that there were shameless women who wouldn''t mind that aspect of dating or sleeping with a married man.


    Butler remembered that Fu Hua didn''t want his marriage to Jia Li to be made public, so he probed.


    "Sir, what about Master Hua, how will you settle things with him about the announcement?"


    "Does he dare to say anything to me? I am not going to announce who he is married to, just his status. I don''t want someone like that woman to get ideas about him again." Grandfather Fu said.


    "Oh!" Butler Lu replied now that he had gotten the message.


    "Don''t just stand there, go and contact them and give them my condition. There are some things you need to think ahead of me, but you let me do everything!" Grandfather Fuined.


    Butler Lu smiled and apologized before leaving to contact the people for the interview.


    The main reason Grandfather Fu didn''t want to involve Jia Li in this matter, was to protect her and nothing more...

 Chapter 134 - Warlord Fu Reveals His Grandsons Secret Marriage

    <h4>Chapter 134 - Warlord Fu Reveals His Grandson''s Secret Marriage</h4>


    Jia Li was still in school when she received a call from DanDan.


    "Jia Li, are you okay?" DanDan asked in a worried tone.


    "I''m fine. Why do you sound so worried, what''s wrong?" Jia Li asked as she strolled to the school gate.


    "Have you seen the news? Your...your... forget it. I''m sure it will pass. How were your exams today?" DanDan asked as she changed the topic smoothly.


    "Yes, the exam was okay. Actually, it was a bit difficult." Jia Li still looked confused when she replied.


    "I know you will pass with an excellent grade, I trust you. I have to go now, I''ll talk to youter." DanDan said and ended the call immediately because she didn''t want Jia Li to ask her any questions about the news trending online.


    Jia Li nced at her phone screen that lighted up with furrowed brows. She was curious about the news online for DanDan to call and check up on her.


    Jia Li stood still in her position and went online. She saw that the No. 1 trending news on the inte, was about Fu Hua and his ex-girlfriend.


    Jia Li felt some series of emotions stir up in her anger, jealousy, pain, envy, doubt, and anything you can think.


    Jia Li couldn''t understand the reason she was angry. She knew Fu Hua didn''t love her, and she was slowly falling for him, which might be the reason she felt all of those emotions.


    After a few minutes, Jia Li managed to calm herself and continue with her steps. And she walked towards the school gate, different thoughts clouded her mind.


    ''Are they back together?''


    ''Does he still love her?''


    ''He went to visit her again?''


    While all these thoughts were going through her mind, she stepped out of the school gate and saw the cab waiting for her. She got in and greeted the driver.


    Because she was not in a good mood, she remained silent and nced out through the windows of the car.


    When she got home, she went to have a hot bath before going to the kitchen to cook something. After cooking, she discovered she didn''t have any appetite to eat, so she covered her food and went straight to the workshop to continue with her sewing.


    Immediately a word was sent out to the people that wanted to interview grandfather, they immediately got ready with the equipment.


    Grandfather Fu allowed them toe over to the Fu house to interview him, and it was their blessing that they got to see and enter the Fu residence.


    Butler Lu made some arrangements for the interview to hold in one of the little rooms in the house, be wise of the cold weather.


    ording to Grandfather Fu''s condition, they went straight to ask the questions he wanted, after asking him questions rted to Politics and National security.


    "Sir, we want to intrude a little into your privacy. Can you tell us about your grandson, Mr. Fu Hua, the CEO of FJ Styles, he is an eligible bachelor, does he have any ns of settling down?"


    "Why do you ask? Do you want to arrange someone for him?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    "Hahaha...I don''t dare. A lot of women have been eyeing your grandson, and most of them have dedicated their life in wait for him, so we are asking this question on their behalf."


    "Tell them not to have eyes on my grandson, he is married!" Grandfather Fu revealed.


    "What?! This is indeed a surprise to us. Sir, we saw the news of your grandson trending online with the supermodel, Alix, are they a couple?"


    "She is not my grandson''s taste! The news trending about my grandson is fake and was deliberately done by gold diggers and attention seekers, which will be dealt with ording to thew." Grandfather Fu said with a stern expression on his face while facing the camera.


    His words exposed Feng Alix.


    "Wow! This is explosive news and of course, justice has to be rendered to Mr. Fu Hua for being used to create hype. Sir, can you reveal your grandson''s wife to us?"


    "In due time, we will proudly show her off. For now, we are hiding her away from harm." Grandfather Fu said with a smile.


    When the interview was over, Grandfather Fu gave them red packets, and because of that, the interview clip and notes were edited published that night.


    The media created hype around it and contacted so many news reporters, who helped to circte the news.


    Grandfather Fu''s interview had so many titles like...


    ''Retired Major General Fu Wei Lei''s first interview in so many years.''


    ''What Warlord Fu has to say about his grandson''s scandal.''


    ''Old Mr. Fu, reveals the truth about his grandson''s scandal.''


    ''Warlord Fu, reveals his grandson''s secret marriage''


    The hype around Grandfather Fu''s interview was far greater than the one surrounding Feng Alix''s.


    Within an hour, Grandfather Fu''s interview became the top trending news, and soon, there were so manyments.


    Some people were calling out Fu Hua to say something to defend himself.


    They also asked him to confirm what Grandfather Fu said about his secret marriage.


    About Feng Alix,izens had already gone to attack her for misleading them. They were so many rudements under herment section.


    So many people were talking bad about her, and she lost the trust of some of her loyal fans.


    Immediately this news started to trend, Butler Lu showed it to Grandfather Fu who phoned Fu Hua immediately.


    "This is the right time for your side to act, you better make things right!" Grandfather Fu warned.


    Fu Hua hasn''t managed toment about him publicizing his marriage, but this was not the time, as there were other important matters to handle.


    Within few minutes, Fu Hua''swyer released a statement on behalf of Fu Hua.


    The statement said that Fu Hua was suing Feng Alix and her manager for defamation and invasion of privacy since they took his pictures and posted them without permission. And also for the misleading caption attached to the photo.


    Fu Hua made a public post about that a few secondster.

 Chapter 135 - [Bonus ] The Consequences Of Messing With Fu Hua

    <h4>Chapter 135 - [Bonus ] The Consequences Of Messing With Fu Hua</h4>


    Fu Hua made a public post about that a few secondster.


    He said that he was suing Feng Alix and her manager for defamation (taking his photo without permission and used it to make a post that was harmful to his reputation) and invasion of privacy, which is a crime punishable by 6 months of imprisonment and paying a fine of $1000.


    He made an exception and asked her to pay $10,000 if she didn''t want to go to prison.


    Fu Hua released a second statement, which summarized in detail what transpired between them.


    ''I went to the hospital to visit Alix as per her request for one reason. Because we had unfinished private matters she wanted to talk about. I considered the fact that she had an ident, and went to see her. But since she decided to take things too far for reasons best known to her, she has to pay for it.''


    A few minutester, FJ Styles released a public announcement about the matter. They also banned Feng Alix, with the letter attached to the post.


    ''Since FJ started working with Alix she has never created any trouble this huge for us. And the first time she did, she involved FJ, and our CEO in the matter and for that reason, we cease to work with her. We have banned her from working with us!''


    There was an uproar because of the public posts made one after another by Fu Hua, hiswyer, and the HR department of FJ.


    Almost everybody was cursing Feng Alix and said she deserves to be sued.


    Some people wanted to ask Fu Hua what he had to discuss with Feng Alix but they knew he wouldn''t reply, since he said it was a private matter, but a few courageous ones still went ahead to ask.


    Because Fu Hua was a public figure, they were wary of him as they didn''t want to intrude into his privacy before they would learn a hard lesson like Feng Alix and her manager.


    About 0.5% of people criticized Fu Hua''s actions of being too mean to Feng Alix.


    "Why do you have to go too far to treat ady like that? You are truly cold-hearted without considering her situation!"


    Right after that, someone immediatelymented under it...


    "He has to be cold-hearted to those that deserve it, so gender is not a consideration for dealing with people that feel they could use you to advance their lives."


    Feng Alix who was being called out by millions of people was currently crying her heart out in the private hospital she was readmitted to.


    It never urred to her that Fu Hua who she once dated would be so heartless as to treat her this way.


    Her mistake was that she forgot who she was messing with, and she forgot to consider the consequences of dealing with someone like Fu Hua.


    Now, she had seen and was still tasting the results of her foolish actions.


    The more Feng Alix thought of the endorsement deals, titles, brand ambassadorship, projects, and other works she has lost because of this, she felt like killing herself, because her life was almost over.


    Leaving aside what she has lost, Fu Hua was going to have her sent to prison, or ept the other option of paying $10,000 for defamation and invasion of privacy.


    Feng Alix will lose all her money, reputation, insurances, job, peace of mind, fan base, and a lot of things.


    Losing everything she had, was the retribution of butting off more than she could chew!


    Currently, Feng Alix''s mother was in her hospital room and scolding her and her manager.


    "How could you make such a costly mistake?! Did you not think twice before going against him? Just look at all your years of hard work, you have thrown everything down the drain all because of your stupidity!!!"


    Turning to her manager, she continued, "And you, as her manager, you couldn''t remind her of her wrongs, but instead colluded with her to cause her downfall! What kind of a manager are you? Both of you are fired!!!" Feng Alix''s mother said angrily.


    "Mum, you can''t treat me this way! How can you treat me like this when I''m down? I don''t have to admit to any of this, my manager can just take the me as long as I get a leeway!" Feng Alix said helplessly.


    Her manager who was about pleading to her mother was shocked by her words. She couldn''t sit still and watch them me her, so she said immediately...


    "You can''t me me, because I''m not at fault! You asked me to do everything I did, and you failed to listen to me!"


    "Who can defend you when I say you did everything without my permission?" Feng Alix asked with a sharp glint.


    Her manager turned calm immediately because Feng Alix could still deal with her if she wanted to.


    "Both of you, stop it! Alix, nobody is going to take any me for you! You''re going to confess and apologize to Mr. Fu and your fans, for deceiving them and making false statements." Alix''s mother said.


    "Are you seriously going to abandon me?" Feng Alix asked with an unbelievable facial expression.


    "You are still my daughter, so I will not abandon you. I will send you a ticket so you can leave this country as soon as possible if you still want to survive. I''m calling the press first thing tomorrow morning, so get prepared."


    Feng Alix could only watch her mother leave while feeling heartbroken.


    She couldn''t believe that she had fallen from grace to grass within 24-hours.


    Feng Alix sobbed without making a sound, as her body was already beginning to ache.


    After making a public statement, Fu Hua''swyer reached out to Feng Alix''s agent and issued them with a letter from the court.


    "How can Alix go to prison with the injuries on her body, that is unfair to her!" Alix''s agent said in her favor.


    "And that is the reason the second option was made avable, it was for excuses like this." Fu Hua''swyer said to them.


    "What? You really want her to pay $10,000?" Feng Alix''s agent asked in shock.


    "She can go to prison if she doesn''t want to pay, after all, she will only be locked up for 6 months, we can''t hold her more than that time range. You have 1 week to get back to us!" Fu Hua''swyer said to them.


    What he meant by they had 1 week to get back to him, is that Feng Alix, had one week before she pays up $10,000 to Fu Hua, or got to prison by then, not minding how serious her injury was.

 Chapter 136 - Jia Li Snubs Fu Hua

    <h4>Chapter 136 - Jia Li Snubs Fu Hua</h4>


    Feng Alix has been under a lot of attacks since some hours ago. It was a good thing she couldn''t hold her phone, otherwise, she would have fainted several times.


    She still wished she could deal with Fu Hua because right now, she hated him to the bones, but she couldn''t risk the only thing she had left, and which was her life.


    Feng Alix thought about exposing the fact that she once dated Fu Hua, and that he got married without breaking up with her when she traveled out for work, but her life would be in the line, as she still wanted to live for a long while and make aeback.


    Feng Alix''s mother has already warned her to behave and not to cause more trouble to her, and to thepany as she had already done more than enough damage to it.


    When Fu Hua got home, it was alreadyte. The lights in the living room were already turned off, so he had to turn them on.


    As he made his way into the house, he wondered if Jia Li was already asleep, since the lights were off, and the house was silent.


    Fu Hua walked straight to his room to have his bath before going to check up on Jia Li. When he tried to open her door, he found out that it was locked.


    "Jia Li, are you sleeping?" He asked after knocking twice on the door, but he didn''t receive any response. He had to dial her number to be sure she was in her bedroom.


    From outside the room, he could hear her phone ringing.


    Jia Li who was fast asleep heard her phone ringing and frowned as she slowly opened her eyes.


    She picked up her phone and answered the call.


    "Hello!" She said in a sleepy tone.


    "Are you sleeping?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Mmm." Jia Li responded.


    "Okay, Good night." Fu Hua said before ending the call.


    When the call ended, Jia Li put her phone back on the nightstand before covering her body with the duvet and going back to sleep.


    Although Fu Hua was surprised that she went to bed so early, he had another thought that she must have been tired out in school.


    Fu Hua went straight to the kitchen to get himself something to eat, before going straight to bed.


    The next morning, around 3:00 AM, Jia Li got off the bed and went to wash up, before going to the study to read for a while.


    After studying for 3 hours and 30 minutes, she went straight to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.


    When Fu Hua got dressed and came to the dining room, he met Jia Li serving breakfast.


    Usually, Jia Li would greet him, but this time around, she didn''t say a word to him. Fu Hua was sensitive enough to know that something was wrong.


    "Jia Li, how were your exams yesterday? I couldn''t ask since you went to bed early." Fu Hua said as he sat down with his gaze on her.


    "The exam was okay. I went to bed early because I was exhausted." Jia Li replied before taking a seat.


    Up till now, she hasn''t spared him a nce.


    Fu Hua didn''t know what was wrong with her, because she seemed to not be in a good mood.


    "Why are you unhappy, did something happen?" Fu Hua probed.


    "I''m fine, I''m just tired and a bit tensed for my today''s exam." Jia Li lied as she picked up her teacup to drink from it.


    Fu Hua felt there was more to it, but he didn''t know how to deal with her, so he let her be and started to eat after encouraging her with some words.


    In the middle of eating, Jia Li suddenly covered her mouth and rushed out of the dining room. Her action came as a surprise to Fu Hua who stopped eating as he directed his gaze to the side that Jia Li disappeared to.


    After throwing up, Jia Li gaggled some water and threw it up, before returning to the dining room with a worn-out look.


    She felt so tired after throwing up the food she had just eaten. Touching her forehead, she felt how hot it was and sighed to herself.


    She has been feeling down since she saw the news about Fu Hua and Feng Alix while in school, and she has been in a bad mood since then.


    Jia Li knew Fu Hua didn''t love her, and she didn''t have the right to be angry with his actions, but still, she couldn''t help but feel bad.


    She wasn''t sure if she liked him, but she couldn''t control her emotions of being angry with him because of the news online.


    When she returned to the dining room, Fu Hua asked with a concerned gaze, "Are you alright?"


    "I''m fine." Jia Li replied as she sat down and drank some tea.


    "You don''t look okay." Fu Hua replied with a frown.


    "I''m fine." Jia Li said again as she finally spared him a nce.


    Fu Hua refused to believe she was fine, so when she lowered her head, he ced his palm on her forehead to check her temperature, only to discover that it was hot.


    He withdrew his hand and said to her with a frown, "It looks like you have a fever. I will send you to the hospital after breakfast."


    "No, I''m fine." Jia Li said without looking up.


    Fu Hua''s gaze turned cold. "Why are you refusing to go to the hospital when you''re not feeling well?"


    There was a few seconds of silence before Jia Li decided to reply to him.


    "I have an exam in an hour, so I can''t go to the hospital now."


    Fu Hua finally understood. It was not that she was refusing treatment, but because she didn''t have enough time to visit the hospital because of her exams.


    Before Fu Hua could talk about rescheduling the visit to the hospital, Jia Li stood up and left the dining room.


    The next time Fu Hua saw her, she was already dressed and carrying her backpack.


    "I''m leaving for school now." Jia Li said to him before leaving the house.


    ''Why is she having mood swings?'' Fu Hua thought.

 Chapter 137 - Congratulations Miss Jia Li, You Are...

    <h4>Chapter 137 - Congrattions Miss Jia Li, You Are...</h4>


    In between being worried about her, Fu Hua was angry with her for ignoring him.


    He didn''t think he has done anything wrong to her, so why would he receive the silent treatment out of the blue?


    After school, Jia Li went straight to the hospital to get a test done.


    Since she was a child, her mother would only give her drugs, after she had done a test to confirm what was wrong with her.


    The reason her mother was always careful health-wise, was not because she was a nurse, but because taking the wrong medication, killed one of her rtives, and she also told Jia Li about it.


    Since then, it got stuck in Jia Li''s head that she shouldn''t take any drugs without the doctor''s prescription.


    Although, she have learned one or two from her mum who was a nurse, Jia Li didn''t dare to take drugs by herself because of it.


    Jia Li registered her details and got the hospital card, before going to sit to wait for her turn to see the doctor.


    After waiting for 30 minutes, it was her turn to see the doctor, so, she followed the nurse that called her, and walked into the office before going to sit before the doctor.


    The middle-aged doctor nced at Jia Li before bringing up her file.


    "Miss Jia Li, it says here that you have a fever, headache, nausea, and vomiting, and you also feel a little weak and moody, am I right?"


    Jia Li heard her report being read out and nodded in confirmation.


    The doctor closed the file and asked, "Are you married?"


    She couldn''t see a ring on Jia Li''s finger, because Jia Li doesn''t wear her wedding ring to school.


    Jia Li was taken aback by the question before replying slowly, as she wondered the reason for that question.


    "Yes."


    "Good." The doctor responded as her facial expression lightened up.


    "When was thest time you saw your period?" The doctor asked with a kind gaze fixed on Jia Li.


    Jia Li''s heart skipped a beat because the doctors'' question got her thinking back to thest time she had her period.


    Checking back to thest time, Jia Li discovered that it has been a long time. She remembered that herst period came before she got married to Fu Hua.


    Jia Li became a little scared when she thought about the possibility of being pregnant.


    Seeing her lost in thought, the doctor had to call back her attention. "Miss Jia Li?"


    Hearing her name, Jia Li came back to her senses and replied, "I saw my periodst in the begining of the third week of September."


    "Okay, whenst did you have s*x with your husband?" The doctor asked.


    Jia Li felt a little shy when that question was asked. She felt it was a private question that shouldn''t be brought up.


    The doctor smiled when she noticed how shy Jia Li was.


    "It looks like you are pregnant, but we need to confirm it." The doctor said to her. Then turning to the nurse in the room, she said to her...


    "Take her to get a pregnancy test done, then bring her back immediately after that."


    "Yes, doctor." The nurse replied before asking Jia Li to follow her.


    "Miss,e with me." The nurse said to Jia Li.


    "Oh!" Jia Li replied with a nervous look on her face.


    "You can leave your bag here." The doctor said to Jia Li with a smile.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li replied before leaving her bag in the doctors'' office and going out with the nurse.


    Jia Li was so tensed as she followed the nurse to theb to get the pregnancy test done.


    "Miss, do you have your card or cash at hand to pay for the pregnancy test kit?" The Nurse asked politely.


    "Money, I don''t have any here, but I can ask from my rtive." Jia Li quickly responded.


    "Okay." The nurse replied before going ahead to take her blood and urine sample.


    The pregnancy test kit was also purchased, and Jia Li made use of it.


    After ncing at the screen of the kit, the nurse smiled, before bringing Jia Li back to the doctor''s office.


    Jia Li sat down, while the nurse handed the test kit to the doctor. Just like the nurse, a smile appeared on the doctor''s face.


    "When will the test results be out, tell them to hurry up with it." The doctor said to the nurse.


    "I already urged them, so the result will be out in a few minutes. I will go and check on them now." The nurse replied before leaving the office again.


    Jia Li, whose heartbeat has been beating very fast, couldn''t resist the urge to question the doctor.


    "Doctor, am I pregnant?" She asked, a little afraid of the result.


    "Are you scared?" The doctor asked with a kind gaze directed at Jia Li.


    "Is it wrong to be scared?" Jia Li asked after hesitating for a while.


    "It''s not wrong to be scared." The doctor said to her.


    Jia Li felt a little relieved. But thinking back to the possibility of being pregnant, she didn''t dare to rx again.


    As she was thinking, a patient came in to see the doctor, and since it was an urgent case, the doctor asked her to sit over on a couch close to the door and wait for her.


    After what felt like forever to Jia Li, which was only a few minutes, the nurse came back with her test results, and it was at that moment that the patient that was in the office, left.


    The doctor called for Jia Li toe and sit before her.


    As Jia Li sat down, the nurse handed her tests results to the doctor, who quickly opened it and nced through it.


    "Congrattions, Miss Jia Li, you are pregnant. You are already a month and a week-long gone." The doctor announced with a smile.

 Chapter 138 - Jia Li Hides Her Pregnancy From Fu Hua

    <h4>Chapter 138 - Jia Li Hides Her Pregnancy From Fu Hua</h4>


    Knowing that she was pregnant, Jia Li couldn''t feel happy.


    Of course, why would she be happy? She never had this n for herself. Her husband didn''t love her and she wasn''t sure of her feelings for him.


    She was also not ready to have and care for a child. She felt that her life was going to go down the drain because she wasn''t sure of the future for herself, and now that she was pregnant, how will she take care of the child?


    She wasn''t even sure that Fu Hua will like the idea of her being pregnant.


    Jia Li wanted to cry since she couldn''t feel happy.


    "Why are you sad, do you want to talk about it?" The doctor asked in a worried tone.


    Jia Li shook her cranium and muttered in a low tone, "No."


    "If you want to talk to me, you know you can." The doctor said to her with a kind smile.


    Right then, Jia Li''s phone started ringing. Taking the phone out of her bag, she nced at the caller ID only to see it was Fu Hua.


    "Excuse me." She said to the doctor before epting the call.


    Fu Hua, who was driving and had a bluetooth on his ear, asked "Where are you? Are you through with your exams for today?"


    "I''m... I''m in the hospital." Jia Li stuttered whole replying because she was tensed.


    "Which hospital, I''ming there now?" Fu Hua asked as his tone changed.


    He called to see if Jia Li was through with her exams, so he could take her to the hospital to get the tests done. But now she was in the hospital already, he would have to go meet her there.


    Jia Li gave him the address of the hospital she was in before the call terminated.


    "Your rtive ising? Do you need my help to break the news to him?" The doctor asked after she guessed that it was Jia Li''s husband that called her.


    "No... No..." Jia Li rejected with a frantic expression on her face. She looked scared.


    "Okay. I will refer you to my friend who is an obstetrician, she will prescribe some drugs for you that you need to be take till the end of your pregnancy. She will also give you some drugs to help with your fever and headaches." The doctor said as he put back the pregnancy test result into the envelope along with the pregnancy test kit before handing it over to her.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li said as she took the envelope from her nervously. She was still thinking about the pregnancy because it was a shock to her.


    The nurse present in the room took Jia Li to the office of the obstetrician, who prescribed some drugs for Jia Li.


    The nurse helped Jia Li to get the drugs that were prescribed for her, and as Jia Li didn''t have any card to pay, because she forgot her card at home, she had to wait for Fu Hua to arrive.


    A minuteter, Fu Hua walked in with his usual cold gaze. When he saw Jia Li standing at the counter with a nurse beside her, he frowned and made his way to them.


    Before Fu Hua could ask her any question, Jia Ki quickly said to him in a soft tone.


    "Please... can I have your card, I forgot mine at home?"


    Fu Hua stared at her for 3 seconds before taking his ck card from his jacket and passed it to her.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li said to him before handing the card to the nurse.


    All the nurse could think was how rich and handsome Fu Hua was. Well, she didn''t have anything bad in mind when she thought like that, she was only admiring his status.


    She didn''t really recognize Fu Hua, otherwise, she would have freaked out.


    "How were your test results, What did the doctor say was wrong with you?" Fu Hua asked Jia Li after the nurse left with his card.


    Jia Li became tensed when he asked that question, and her heartbeat increased by a few paces. She didn''t know how to reply to him, and she was too scared, to tell the truth. So, the only option was to lie.


    "I...I... The doctor said I have a fever and mria."


    Fu Hua frowned as he slowly moved his gaze to her hand that was holding onto the drugs packed in leather.


    "Howe you were given so many drugs to take?" Fu Hua asked as he fixed his gaze on her.


    "It''s just some vitamin and iron supplements."


    Jia Li quickly hid the drugs behind her as she lied again. She forgot to hide the drugs in her backpack just like she did with the envelope.


    Fu Hua felt that something was wrong with Jia Li, and she was lying to him. This made him wonder what was actually wrong with her, and if she was terribly sick.


    Since she didn''t want to say the truth or give the medical report to him, he decided to make an investigation after sending her home.


    When the nurse returned, She returned the card and the receipt ???? for the things she paid for to him.


    Fu Hua put his ck card and the receipt in his pocket without looking at them, then he thanked the nurse and left the hospital with Jia Li.


    The mid-30''s nurse, had a smile on her face as she watched Fu Hua and Jia Li leave together.


    On their way home, Jia Li was so quiet and was lost in thought, and she had no idea that Fu Hua was paying special attention to her.


    When they got home and walked into the house, Jia Li went straight to her bedroom without saying anything.


    ''What''s wrong with her?'' Fu Hua thought with a frown. He almost wanted to confront Jia Li because he didn''t like her attitude, but he held himself back.


    Fu Hua walked into his bedroom, and the first thing he did was to take his card and the receipt out from his pocket.


    He was already crumbling the receipt ???? in his hand when he suddenly paused.


    He put his card on the bed, before unfolding the crumbled receipt to take a look at the drugs Jia Li purchased because he was curious to know what kind of drugs were prescribed for her.

 Chapter 139 - Fu Hua Discovers That Jia Li Is Pregnant

    <h4>Chapter 139 - Fu Hua Discovers That Jia Li Is Pregnant</h4>


    He put his card on the bed, before unfolding the crumbled receipt to take a look at the drugs Jia Li purchased because he was curious to know what kind of drugs were prescribed for her.


    The first thing that caught Fu Hua''s eyes was the pregnancy test kit purchased for $**. The price wasn''t his problem, but instead, it was the item purchased.


    A surprised glint shed in Fu Hua''s eyes as he stopped to think for a while.


    ''Why would she need a pregnancy test kit?''


    ''Is she pregnant?''


    Fu Hua needed answers to his questions, and only Jia Li could answer him, so he took the receipt with him and walked towards her room door.


    Luckily enough, Jia Li did not lock the door, so he easily had ess to her room.


    Fu Hua enters her room and looks around, but he couldn''t find her in the room. Her backpack she left on the bed caught his sight and he went straight for it.


    Fu Hua opened the bag ???? and took out its contents. The only thing that caught his attention was the brown envelop, so he took a hold of it, and just then, Jia Li walked out of the bathroom.


    She was surprised to see Fu Hua in her bedroom, but most importantly, he was holding onto her current secret.


    Fu Hua nced at the surprised look ???? on her face, and his brows creased further. The next thing he saw was the familiar figure rushing towards him.


    Fu Hua knew that she wasing for the brown envelope, so he held it above his head.


    "You want this?" Fu Hua asked the annoyed Jia Li.


    "Fu Hua give it to me!" Jia Li said in an annoyed tone as she tried to reach for the brown envelope, but she failed to do that, and that made her angry.


    "Tell me, what are you hiding from me?" Fu Hua asked in a dangerous tone.


    "Nothing, just give it to me!" Jia Li replied as she was almost about to start crying.


    "No way! I won''t give it to you." Fu Hua replied as he raised the envelope higher and evaded Jia Li from reaching it.


    "Fu Hua, this is not your concern, give the envelope to me!" Jia Li said angrily as she tiptoed to reach for the envelope again, and by doing that, she rubbed her chest on him.


    "I won''t give it to you until I see for myself what you are hiding from me. And, what are you doing now, are you trying to seduce me?" Fu Hua asked with a frown.


    Jia Li stopped trying to reach for the envelope and nced at him with an angry look, as tears could be seen brimming in the corner of her eyes.


    "You are so annoying!" Jia Li said before rushing out of the room.


    Jia Li was angry, annoyed, afraid and nervous because she failed to get the test results from Fu Hua. She didn''t know how Fu Hua will react when he sees the test results.


    She had no idea of how he will treat her when he learns that she is pregnant. Jia Li was scared, so she ran away and went to lock herself up in the workshop, and took the key with her.


    Fu Hua clearly saw the tears in Jia Li''s eyes, and he didn''t think his actions just now, was enough to make her cry.


    Her action, already told him that she was hiding something big from him, and that, he must find out.


    Fu Hua sighed as he opened the envelope, and then the pregnant test kit fell out of it. He picked it up and nced at it, but he couldn''t tell or interpret the result, since he was onto seeing 2 red lines on the screen.


    Of course, there was no way for Fu Hua to know what that means since he has never experienced it before.


    Another thought that came to Fu Hua''s mind, was that Jia Li took the pregnancy test to see if she was pregnant, but the result turned out negative, so she wanted to hide it from him, and became annoyed when he got hold of it.


    Fu Hua proceeded to open the test result after keeping the kit aside, and the first thing he saw there, was ''pregnancy test results''.


    Fu Hua didn''t understand the part that talked about the level of hormones that were high in her body, so he skipped that part and went straight for the interpretation.


    Fu Hua thought he wasn''t seeing well, so he nced at it again to confirm his surprise.


    ''She''s pregnant?'' Fu Hua thought ???? as he held the result in his hand.


    ''Why did she get to hide it from me? Is she scared that I won''t ept it?'' Fu Hua thought as his brows creased in a deep frown.


    Remembering that Jia Li ran away from the room, he went to look for her.


    He searched in the living room and kitchen while calling out to her name, but he didn''t see or receive any response from her.


    ncing at the door to the workshop, Fu Hua walked towards it and tried to open it, but he discovered that it was locked, and definitely, he knew that Jia Li was there.


    When he knocked and called out for her but didn''t receive any response, he went to his room and came back in less than 2 minutes with a bunch of keys ???? in his hands.


    He picked out the right key and unlocked the door with it. When he opened the door, he saw Jia Li squatting on the floor with her face buried in between her legs.


    Fu Hua frowned as he walked towards her.


    "Jia Li?" He called out as he reached for her trembling shoulders.


    Jia Li heard him unlock the door and walked towards her but she chose to ignore him because she was convinced that he has found out about her pregnancy, and she was scared of what he had to say.

 Chapter 140 - I Will Take Care Of You And The Child

    <h4>Chapter 140 - I Will Take Care Of You And The Child</h4>


    "Jia Li, are you pregnant?" Fu Hua asked in a low tone as he lifted her face.


    Jia Li wiped her teary eyes and remained silent.


    Fu Hua sighed and hugged her. "This is nothing to cry about." He said to her in a gentle tone.


    Jia couldn''t get his point. ''Is he epting the child?'' She thought as she sniffed.


    Fu Hua was also surprised because this news was unexpected. He forgot about the consequences of sleeping with her without any preparation.


    He has never thought about having any child yet, so Jia Li being pregnantant now, was surprising to him.


    "Stop crying. You even threw a tantrum for the first time, were you annoyed with me?" Fu Hua asked as he helped her up.


    Jia Li wiped her face and allowed him to hold her. She didn''t know how to reply to him, because she really threw a tantrum, and it was the first time she was actually showing that side to him.


    Fu Hua stared at her face for a while before slowly embracing her in his arms. He shut his eyes and held her for a while.


    "I will take care of you and the child." Fu Hua said from above her head.


    Jia Li let him hold her as she felt a little relieved with his promise.


    ''He epted the child?'' She thought with mixed feelings.


    She was still yet to ept the fact that she was carrying a child. The little ns she had for herself after graduation, were ruined because of the child.


    This means that she can''t get a job, but will have to spend a year taking care of the child. Nobody will want to employ a pregnant woman that just came out of school.


    This was going to be a huge sacrifice on her part.


    As Jia Li was still lost in thought, she was pulled back by Fu Hua''s question.


    "How long have you been pregnant?" Fu Hua asked as he patted her back.


    "1 month and a week." Jia Li replied in a hoarse voice.


    Fu Hua was silent for a while before sighing. He was actually thinking about something.


    "When is your graduation?" He asked after because Jia Li still had school to attend.


    "In a month." Jia Li replied with her eyes closed.


    "It''s fine. Have you eaten?" Fu Hua asked as he released her from the hug.


    Jia Li shook her head in a negative affirmation.


    "What do you want to eat, I will order for you." Fu Hua asked as he brought out his phone and was ready to ce a food order.


    "I don''t know." Jia Li replied.


    She was hungry, but she didn''t know what to eat. At least, she was feeling better than before and could eat anything now.


    "Then I will pick the food for us." Fu Hua said to her before going ahead to make a call to ce the food order.


    After the call, he said to her, "Can you hold for an hour?"


    The food delivery will take an hour since the food had to be freshly prepared before it will be delivered to them.


    "Hmmm..." Jia Li hummed in reply.


    Meanwhile, Fu Hee was in an angry mode while on a call with Bai Fen.


    "How could your son be involved in this kind of scandal? Was he really involved with that Alix?" Bai Fen asked.


    When she saw the news making waves on the inte, she was already angry. She didn''t know the truth about Fu Hua''s dating life, since Fu Hee already told her he didn''t have a girlfriend back then before the thought of getting her daughter marry him, came to her mind. But what''s with the news she was seeing now?


    "Bai Fen, I don''t think my son is involved with that woman. She is only a model that works for hispany, maybe she found the opportunity to cause trouble to attract some attention to herself." Fu Hee exined.


    Fu Hee was also very angry when she saw the news. It was the first time Fu Hua was being involved in a scandal and she was not happy about it.


    "Forget that Alix girl. I don''t understand how necessary it was that Old General Fu, had to announce that Fu Hua was married. Now, this will ruin our ns once again." Bai Fen said in an annoyed tone.


    She wished that Fu Hua''s marriage will remain hidden, so her daughter will get the opportunity to be very close to him in public without the public thinking that anything was wrong.


    But now that the matter about Fu Hua''s marriage was out, that n wouldn''t work. Even if she insisted on it and everybody assumes that Fu Hua was married to her daughter, Grandfather Fu would never tolerate it.


    Grandfather Fu will never tolerate for anyone to take the wrong person to be Fu Hua''s wife since he liked Jia Li so much. He would bring justice for her.


    If that happens Bai Jun''s actions will be frowned upon and she may be called a loose woman with no home training and Bai Fen wouldn''t like that to happen to her daughter.


    "Fen, I am very tired and I am already having a headache with everything that is going on. I can''t tell what that old man is thinking by doing all of these. He keeps ruining our ns every time. And each time I think about it, I get a headache." Fu Heeined with a frown.


    What was more frustrating than your ns getting ruined without even getting to implement them?


    Bai Fen sighed and ended up consoling her. "I think we will still have the upper hand, as long as that girl doesn''t be pregnant. Now the news of your son''s marriage is out, I can''t hide these from Bai Jun anymore. Ah! My poor child."


    Hearing Bai Fenment, Fu Hee couldn''t feel happy about it. She had to do something to take control of the situation once again.

 Chapter 141 - A Move To Assist Her

    <h4>Chapter 141 - A Move To Assist Her</h4>


    "I will call Fu Hua and tell him to bring Jia Li back home because I miss him. If he doesn''t listen to me, I will have to let the old man invite them over himself. I''m sure Fu Hua wouldn''t be able to refuse him." Fu Hee said after much thought.


    "That will be a good idea. Alright, don''t forget to inform me if anything happens. I have to call Jun and exin things to her." Bai Fen exined.


    After the call, Fu Hee threw her phone on the bed. She was still annoyed with the fact that the old man announced Fu Hua''s marital status to the public and thetter didn''t even do anything about it.


    "Fu Hua, don''t tell me you have epted that girl?" Fu Hee muttered to herself with a frown.


    Things would be made more difficult if Fu Hua starts to protect Jia Li just like the old man has been doing.


    Back to Fu Hua''s house...


    Once their food order arrived, Jia Li helped to serve the dishes.


    Fu Hua ordered so many dishes from the five-star hotel, and looking at the dishes arranged on the dining table, Jia Li felt that he went overboard with the ordering.


    As they sat down to eat, Fu Hua exined when he noticed the way she was staring at the food.


    "I didn''t know what you would like to eat, so I ordered so many of them."


    "Thank you!" Jia Li replied as she started to eat.


    It looks like Jia was very hungry because she ate so much, and Fu Hua was surprised, be sure he hasn''t seen her eat that much before.


    ''Did she have lunch at all?'' He thought to himself.


    After dinner, Fu Hua helped Jia Li to wash the dishes, while she went to the workshop to study.


    "Do you need help with anything?" Fu Hua asked when he stepped into the room and saw her going through a thick textbook.


    "No, I''m fine." Jia Li replied as she spared him a nce before ncing back to the thick textbook.


    She had an exam the afternoon of the next day, so she had to study.


    Fu Hua went to his desk to sit and began to work on a design draft.


    Fu Hua was not as creative as Jia Li, but he was truly a master at creating the perfect dress, and he was very good at choosing the best materials to make a dress.


    He was like a perfectionist that was good at perfecting people''s works.


    Fu Hua was currently focused on creating a masterpiece that would be released in the new year. Because he was a perfectionist, he has been working on that draft for the past few days.


    Fu Hua was different from Jia Li who would sometimes throw so many drafts away before she gets the perfect one. He only makes use of one page of a sketchbook, but he can take more than three days to get the perfect design he wants.


    After working for a while, Fu Hua nced over to look at Jia Li who was now sewing, and that seems to be the dress she has been working on for a while.


    Having sewed up the hand of the dress, Jia Li used scissors to cut off the excess thread on the dress, before rubbing her fists together.


    Fu Hua noticed her actions and thought she was cold and so walked to her side with a cloak and put it on her shoulder.


    Since it was Winter ?? now, the weather was extremely chilly with lots of snowfall, and currently, it was snowing heavily outside.


    "Do you need help?" Fu Hua asked.


    "No, thank you!" Jia Li replied as she adjusted the cloak on her body.


    Fu Hua didn''t believe that she didn''t need help, so he took the half-finished dress from the table and took a good look at it.


    Since Jia Li was always rejecting his help, he had to make a move to assist her.


    When he saw the mistake she made with the stitch she used for the waist part of the dress, he frowned and immediately pointed it out.


    "You used the wrong stitch here. Use the invisibledder stitch and it will look better..."


    Jia Li paid attention and listened to the corrections he made.


    "This is so tiring." Jia Li grumbled when he returned the dress to her.


    "It''s tiring, but your work has to be perfect. What''s your goal as a designer?" Fu Hua asked.


    "To make the perfect dresses?" Jia Li replied with her gaze on him.


    "It''s not enough, you have to improve your vision." Fu Hua said to her.


    "Oh!" Jia Li muttered under her breath.


    She knew that Fu Hua was right and making the perfect dresses was not enough, so she had to upgrade her vision.


    "How many dresses were you asked to make for your projects apart from the assignment?" Fu Hua asked.


    "We are yet to receive it. After exams, we will be given the task." Jia Li replied.


    "Okay. Go back to work, I still have something I''m doing." Fu Hua said to her before going back to his desk to continue with his work.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua workedte into the night before they went to bed.


    Fu Hua seeded in finishing his dress illustration, which was a great aplishment.


    The next day, Fu Hua sent Jia Li to school, and on his way to FJ, he received a call from Grandfather Fu.


    "The house I prepared for you and Jia Li is ready, when are you moving in?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    "When did you think of doing that?" Fu Hua asked. He believed that his old man wasn''t someone to wake up in the morning and make a decision without something promoting his actions.


    "When you and Jia Li got married, I nned to gift you two a bigger houseter. But that girl had toe back and intrude into your house." Grandfather Fu replied.


    "I see. I will take a look at the house first before I decide to move in." Fu Hua replied.


    "You don''t have a lot of time. Check the house today and move in before the weekend, then you can bring Jia Li over to the house." Grandfather Fu said to him.

 Chapter 142 - Do You Have To Take The Drugs Everyday?

    <h4>Chapter 142 - Do You Have To Take The Drugs Everyday?</h4>


    Fu Hua considered that Jia Li was pregnant, and truly they needed a bigger house with a bigger room to expand their workshop, so he agreed to go take a look at the house.


    But also, he didn''t like the way his old man was always in control of the situation. Going to take a look at the house is also an excuse to find faults.


    He wanted to make his own choice of moving into his own ce and not the house someone got for him. But since the old man said it''s a wedding gift, he couldn''t refuse it.


    When Fu Hua went to see the ce, he didn''t find any faults, and he knew the old man was prepared to counter his excuses.


    The painting on the walls, the interior decors, and the kind of pieces of furniture in the house, were really to his taste. There was no w apart from the workshop that was left to him to arrange by himself.


    Picking up his phone, he called the old man.


    "Grandfather, I have seen the house. Since it''s a wedding gift, you should havepleted the renovation, why did you leave the workshop out?" Fu Hua asked.


    "There''s no need insisting on something I do not know about. Design it as you like. How is Li girl?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    "She''s fine. She had an exam today." Fu Hua replied.


    "Okay, I will see you two this weekend." Grandfather Fu said to him.


    Fu Hua didn''t have anything to say to him, therefore, their conversation came to an end.


    Fu Hua didn''t want to tell the old man that Jia Li was pregnant, since he hasn''t spoken to Jia Li to deliberate on the matter if they wanted their family members to know about it.


    From the new apartment, Fu Hua drove straight home. From the door, he could perceive the aroma of the food Jia Li had just prepared.


    Going to the living room, Fu Hua was amazed. Jia Li stepped out of the kitchen with a big bowl of soup ???? and saw him staring at the dishes.


    "You''re back? Food is ready, wash up ande to eat."


    "You cooked all of these?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.


    Jia Li nced at the food with a little confusion before ncing back at him and asked, "Yes, Is something wrong?"


    "You cooked a lot today, are we celebrating something?" Fu Hua inquired.


    "No, I just felt like making them. The weather is so cold, so I made so many dishes that could dispel the cold." Jia Li replied with a half-truth.


    "Oh! That''s good. I will be right back." Fu Hua said before leaving her sight.


    A smile appeared on Jia Li''s face as she watched him leave.


    You need to know the reason Jia Li was so happy today. She just saw on the inte about Fu Hua rifying his rtionship with Feng Alix, and also Grandfather Fu standing up for her, that was enough reason for her to be happy.


    She also wished that Fu Hua could exin things to her, so she wouldn''t have to think too much, but it wasn''t possible with Fu Hua.


    Fu Hua was someone that wasn''t used to exining himself. If he encounters a problem just like the one with Feng Alix, he would settle it without saying anything.


    Somehow, Fu Hua wasn''t to me for not exining things to Jia Li, because of his personality, and when Jia Li was behaving oddly with him, he had no idea it was because of that matter with Feng Alix, and that was the reason he didn''t think he should exin anything to her.


    Moreover, he had already settled the case.


    When Fu Hua came back, he joined Jia Li on the dining table. He allowed Jia Li to serve him a bowl of rice, and while eating, he made some efforts to put some food on her te.


    Fu Hua felt weird doing that because he has not done that for anybody before, so he wasn''t used to it. But he just wanted to give it a try.


    Jia Li felt blissful and continued to eat the food Fu Hua would asionally put on her te.


    This was not the right time for her to think if he loves her or cared for her or if he was doing all of these because of the child.


    Well before too, Fu Hua used to take care of her, so she couldn''t say it''s because of the baby she was receiving the extra care.


    After eating for a while, Jia Li left the dining table and returned a few minutester with ck leather.


    Fu Hua had his gaze on her, and finally, he looked away with a scrunched-up nose ???? when he smelled the drugs that Jia Li brought out.


    Fu Hua literally held his breath till Jia Li swallowed all her drugs before he nced back at her.


    "Do you have to take these drugs every day?" He asked with a frown.


    Jia Li nced at him as she replied, "Yes. The doctor said I have to take them every day because it helps with the baby''s development."


    "Oh!" Fu Hua responded.


    Fu Hua didn''t like the smell of drugs, and he also didn''t like them, but how could he tell Jia Li not to take the drugs in his presence again?


    After dinner, Fu Hua told Jia Li about them moving houses before the weekend and visiting the Fu house during the weekend.


    Jia Li didn''t have any problems with that, but Fu Hua was worried about her exams, so he asked, "When are your next exams?"


    "We are through for this week. But I just need to submit my assignment on Friday." Jia Li replied.


    "What do you have next week?" Fu Hua asked.


    "You mean in school?" Jia Li asked, and when she saw him nod, she answered, "Dressmaking."


    "That''s fine. Since we are going back home this weekend, do you want to announce your pregnancy to the family?" Fu Hua asked with a patient gaze on her.

 Chapter 143 - Jia Li Covers Her Chest And Rejects Fu Huas Help

    <h4>Chapter 143 - Jia Li Covers Her Chest And Rejects Fu Hua''s Help</h4>


    Jia Li unconsciously touched her stomach and became lost in thought. The thought of announcing her pregnancy hasn''t urred to her yet.


    As she didn''t speak for a while, Fu Hua helped her out. "It''s okay to take your time before we announce it to the family."


    Jia Li nced up at him and said, "Thank you!"


    Her being able to announce the pregnancy when she wanted, was what she needed.


    Fu Hua helped Jia Li to carry the tes to the kitchen.


    After putting the tes in the sink, Jia Li turned on the kitchen tap to start washing the tes, but Fu Hua stopped her.


    "You can go and have your bath, I will help you with it."


    "Oh!" Jia Li replied before leaving him in the kitchen.


    When she left, Fu Hua turned on the taps and started to wash the used dishes and within a few minutes, he was through.


    Fu Hua opened the two pots on the table gas and saw some food remaining in them, and he didn''t know what to do with them.


    ''I think I should call Jia Li.'' Fu Hua thought before covering the pots and then he walked out of the kitchen to look for his wife.


    He went into Jia Li''s bedroom without knocking, but he didn''t see her there.


    "Is she still in the bathroom?" Fu Hua muttered under his breath before making his way towards the bathroom door.


    He ced his ear in the door and listened for a while, but he didn''t hear any sound, so he turned the doorknob and opened the door.


    Jia Li had her eyes closed as sheid in the tub of hot water. The temperature of the water was right for cold weather ??, so Jia Li felt rxed ???? in it.


    But when she heard the door open, her eyes flew open immediately as she directed her gaze to the door, only to see Fu Hua standing there and staring at her.


    The first thought in Jia Li''s mind was to cover her body, but ncing at the towel that was far from her hand, she gave up that idea and remained in the bathtub.


    Fu Hua narrowed his eyes as he nced at her. And when he didn''t move his gaze away after a few seconds, Jia Li frowned.


    "What do I do with the food in the pots?" Fu Hua asked before Jia Li could say anything.


    ''Is this the reason he came to find me?'' Jia Li thought, with a cautious gaze on him.


    "Leave it, I will take care of it after bathing." Jia Li replied.


    Fu Hua nodded in understanding but remained standing there with no sign of leaving. Jia Li frowned and couldn''t help but to ask, "When do you n on leaving?"


    "Soon. But why are you lying there, and noting out, do you need my help?" Fu Hua asked with a frown as he started to take a few steps towards her.


    "Ah! Fu Hua! Don''te over!" Jia Li screamed at him with fear written all over her face.


    Fu Hua who was walking towards her with a frown stopped in his steps and startedughing. It turned out that he was teasing her.


    "There is no need to ask me to leave, I can see everything from the clear water, just let me help you." Fu Hua revealed with a smile.


    Jia Li covered her chest and crossed her legs when she discovered he could see her naked body from there.


    "I don''t need your help, go away!" Jia Li said angrily.


    "You are now rejecting your husband''s help? You are also talking to me that way? Jia Li, since when did you be sofortable with me?" Fu Hua asked with a slight smile on his face.


    Hisst question, caused Jia Li to be tongue-tied.


    ''That''s right, since when did I getfortable with him?'' Jia Li thought and the next moment, she looked up, she saw Fu Hua''s face up-close.


    She was about to scream when her lips werepletely blocked by his lips.


    This was a trick of Fu Hua. He caused her to be distracted, so he could reach her side without rming her and now, he also took the opportunity to kiss her to his satisfaction.


    He really like the fact that she couldn''t defend him, since she was covering her chest with her hands, so she could only let him kiss her.


    Fu Hua took his time kissing her lips. He had his eyes closed as he explored her mouth with his tongue.


    The kiss was so heated that Jia Li had to shut her eyes as well. Right now, she would prefer him kissing her than seeing her naked body.


    Fu Hua only stopped when he felt the water she was lying in, was getting cold.


    He released her lips and slowly opened his eyes to look into her eyes.


    As their eyes met, Jia Li felt shy seeing his heated gaze on her and looked away.


    "The temperature of the water is reducing, don''t catch a cold." Fu Hua left her with that sentence before leaving the bathroom.


    Jia Li sighed in relief when he left. Then thinking back to his actions of opening the door without knocking, she scolded herself for always forgetting to lock it.


    She was already used to staying alone without locking the door because she was 100% sure no one wille without knocking. But she forgot that Fu Hua was different.


    He was now her husband, and this was his house, so he wasn''t used to knocking before opening the door to any room.


    Fu Hua had a smile on his face when he left Jia Li''s bedroom. It was so fun to tease her and he enjoyed every bit of it.


    A few minutester, Jia Li came out of her bedroom and went straight to the kitchen to take care of the remaining food in the pots and washed everything off and tidied the kitchen.

 Chapter 144 - Fu Hee Is Annoyed With The Lack Of Attention From Grandfather Fu

    <h4>Chapter 144 - Fu Hee Is Annoyed With The Lack Of Attention From Grandfather Fu</h4>


    Since Jia Li didn''t have any more exams this week, she could work on her assignments freely, and Fu Hua was a great help to her.


    He watched over her and made sure she used the right stitches for the right ces.


    Jia Li discovered that whenever Fu Hua started working, he wouldn''t stop until he had aplished something. And this few hours of him helping her out, made her discover another side of him.


    Around midnight when the dress waspleted, Fu Hua let Jia Li off.


    "Finally! I''m so sleepy." Jia Li said as she sighed in relief. She couldn''t wait for her head to hit the pillow.


    "Mmm... you have tried, you can go to bed." Fu Hua said to her.


    "Good night." Jia Li said before turning to leave while letting out a yawn.


    ''Did I overwork her?.'' Fu Hua asked himself when he saw her yawn and nced at the wall clock.


    Fu Hua didn''t stay long in the study, for he left a few minutester after tidying his desk, leaving the dress they finished working on, on the mannequin.


    The next day, Fu Hua didn''t go straight to work. Instead, he went to supervise the renovation of the workshop in the new house.


    He liked things to be to his taste, so he had to make sure the people there, were doing things right.


    When he got to the small vi he saw that the work was almostpleted, and ording to the interior designer, he could move in the next day.


    Fu Hua looked around for a bit before leaving for his office. And as soon as he stepped into his office, his assistant came to meet him.


    "Boss, do you have the draft ready?." Zimo asked.


    Fu Hua gave him a cold nce before pointing at his work ???? bag.


    Without wasting time, Zimo opened his bag and took out the design draft. He seemed to be in a rush.


    When he took the draft out and nced at it, a smile big smile appeared on his face. He looked at Fu Hua and said, "Wow! another masterpiece, as expected from you, Boss. I will quickly send it for production now."


    When Zimo was about to leave, Fu Hua said to him, "Don''te back to my office for today!."


    "Ah! Boss, what did I do wrong?." Zimo stopped to ask, but a re from Fu Hua sent him away.


    When Zimo left his side, Fu Hua sighed. These days, Zimo has been urging him to design something since it has been a long time since he worked behind the scenes.


    Fu Hua thought about it and decided to give it a try. But the stress of designing, caused Fu Hua to be annoyed with him.


    Back at the Fu Mansion...


    Fu Hee sought an audience with Grandfather Fu.


    Grandfather Fu was currently reading a book. He adjusted the sses on the bridge of his nose and continued reading the book, totally ignoring Fu Hee.


    It looks like Fu Hee had a lot of patience today because she has been smiling since she stepped into the study, and even with the old man ignoring her, her facial expression did not change.


    Butler Lu couldn''t continue watching this go on, so he came to Fu Hee''s side and said to her, "Madam, what did youe to see master for?."


    Butler Lu knew that the old man will not say anything to her, so she had to start talking first, and that''s why he came to remind her of it.


    Deep down Fu Hee''s heart, she was a bit annoyed because of theck of attention from Grandfather Fu.


    Now being reminded that she has to talk while not be paid attention to, annoyed her the more.


    "Father, it''s been more than a month since Fu Hua moved out, as his mother, I missed him. Can you tell him toe back home to have dinner with us?"


    Grandfather Fu remained nonchnt, and Fu Hee frowned before looking at Butler Lu who gave her a sign to continue talking.


    ''Madam, what about Jia Li, you only mentioned your son?'' Butler Lu thought, and he was right.


    This was the main reason Grandfather Fu ignored her. She mentioned her soning back home, but she left her daughter-inw out of it.


    With Grandfather Fu still ignoring her, a thought came to her mind, so she added with a smile, "Father, ask Fu Hua toe back with Jia Li. With them joining us for dinner, the house will be more harmonious."


    Grandfather Fu finely nced at her as he asked, "Is this the reason you came to see me for?."


    "Yes, father, Fu Hua and Jia Li shoulde back for a while, it''s been a long time since I saw them." Fu Hee said with a fake smile.


    Grandfather Fu fixed his gaze back on the book he was reading and said to her, "You can leave."


    "Huh? ???? Father, will you ask them toe home?." Fu Hee asked, but she received no more responses from him.


    Butler Lu had toe and send her away.


    Coming out from his study, Fu Hee''s true emotions were revealed.


    "What''s the point of ignoring me? You don''t allow men to see my son, and you don''t want him toe home, just see if I won''t call him myself." Fu Hee said in an angry tone before walking away.


    On her way to her bedroom, she met Fu ChunHua who was dressed like she was about to leave the house.


    When Fu Chun Hua saw her, she smiled and walked to stand in front of her.


    "What is it?." Fu Hee asked with a furious gaze.


    Fu ChunHua peered into her face, before moving her face away, then she sighed and said, "tsk...tsk... Fu Hee, you are getting old now, it looks like you''re bing more stressed since you were dismissed from your position as the mistress of the Fu family"

 Chapter 145 - Did You Go To Play Games Again?

    <h4>Chapter 145 - Did You Go To y Games Again?</h4>


    "What is it?." Fu Hee asked with a furious gaze.


    Fu ChunHua peered into her face, before moving her face away, then she sighed and said, "tsk...tsk... Fu Hee, you are getting old now, it looks like you''re bing more stressed since you were dismissed from your position as the mistress of the Fu family"


    "What nonsense are you saying?." Fu Hee asked with a frown as she touched her face.


    "You''re looking old with lots of wrinkles on your face. You should take a break from all the bitterness in your heart." Fu ChunHua said before trotting away.


    Fu Hee was so mad that she became speechless. When she went into her bedroom, she went straight for the mirror to check her looks.


    While checking her face out, she discovered she was starting to have wrinkles on her face.


    ''She wasn''t teasing me?'' Fu Hee thought to herself.


    Being ufortable with the wrinkles on her face, she immediately made an appointment in her favorite beauty shop, before calling Fu Hua toe home.


    "Fu Hua, when will youe home?." Fu Hee asked.


    "What do you need me for?." Fu Hua asked.


    "Your mother missed you, is it not enough reason?." Fu Hee asked.


    "It''s not enough. You wanted me to get married, and I did, so why do you want me back home?." Fu Hua asked.


    He was still in his office going through the finance records when his mother''s call came in.


    "Fu Hua, don''t get me started. You know that''s not the woman I wanted you to marry. You don''t listen to me anymore, you only listen to your father." Fu Heeined.


    "Grandfather raised me!." Fu Hua replied with his gaze on theptop screen on his desk.


    "But I gave birth to you!." Fu Hee argued in an annoyed tone.


    "It doesn''t matter. Mother, I am very busy. I''d you have something important to talk about, you can leave me a message." Fu Hua said before ending the call directly.


    Fu Hee was not surprised he ended the call on her because it was not the first time, but still, she. wouldn''t help but because angry.


    "All of you are after my life, nobody listens to me anymore, why won''t I age faster with the wrinkles on my face?!" Fu Hee said to herself with deep annoyance.


    Feeling annoyed and restless, Fu Hee decided to leave the house to the beauty parlor to get her skin in order.


    When Fu Hee came back from the beauty parlor, she was looking a little better.


    Fu ChunHua saw her andmented on her looks.


    "You really went to the beauty parlor, but too bad you will ruin the hard work of the beautician after only a few days."


    "At least I''m better than you. You are already so old, but you need to go to the beauty parlor every week to maintain your looks." Fu Hee said with a taunting smile before leaving.


    Fu ChunHua''s facial expression changed, as she watched Fu Hee kea after taunting her.


    After a while, Fu ChunHua said in a low tone. "This is the reason I will not easily let go of this position."


    Fu ChunHua meant that if Fu Hee continues to make fun of her age, she will not easily allow her to get her position back in case Grandfather Fu has a change of heart one day.


    Fu ChunHua was still in a bad mood when Fu Ling and Fu Meixu walked into the house.


    "Where are you twoing from?." Fu ChunHua asked with her gaze on them.


    "I went for a photoshoot." Fu Meixu replied tiredly.


    "Do I need to tell you where I''ming from?." Fu Ling asked with a nk look.


    "Did you go to y games again?." Fu ChunHua asked with a frown.


    "Since you know, there is no need to say anything." Fu Ling replied and tried to walk past her, but she stopped him.


    "Stop right there! Can you look at yourself? You''re already a grown-up, but you still y games, don''t you have a better n for yourself? Look at your sister, she is working so hard because she has a future, but you, you don''t have any ns other than to y games every day. If you don''t know what to do for yourself, why don''t you go to FJ to work?."


    "To work or to climb up the ranks and fight with Fu Hua?." Fu Ling asked.


    "When did I say that? Don''t twist my words! I''m telling you to find something to do!." Fu ChunHua said angrily.


    She was always unhappy when she remembered that her son didn''t have any serious agenda for himself, unlike other children of the Fu family.


    She was like a torn in her flesh.


    "Mum, in case you have forgotten, then I will have to remind you of my ns. I want to develop my games, so stopparing me with others." Fu Ling said before walking away, and no matter how his mother called for him, he didn''t react.


    After failing to stop him from leaving, Fu ChunHua began toin to Fu Meixu.


    "Look at your brother, he doesn''t have a decent n for himself. What does he think he can achieve by making his own game?."


    "Mum, leave brother alone to do what he wants. One day, he might make it. If he is ready and needs investments, Grandfather can help him." Fu Meixu replied.


    "Still, I don''t like it!" Look at your cousins, they are doing so well, and you''re doing so well too, so why can''t your brother choose another career path?." Fu ChunHua grumbled unhappily.


    Fu Meixu didn''t say anything more. She has other things to be worried about. For example, she wants a major supporting role in the uing movie, ''The Filmmaker'' by a renowned movie director.


    She recently heard that Zhi Ruo, her enemy who is still far above her, got the female lead role without any need for an audition, and that alone was enough to fuel her envy and jealousy.

 Chapter 146 - Fu Hua Gives An Excuse To Make Jia Li Come To His Bedroom

    <h4>Chapter 146 - Fu Hua Gives An Excuse To Make Jia Li Come To His Bedroom</h4>


    Since the day Zhi Ruo was rude and looked down on her, Fu Meixu has been working hard to reach the top.


    And not only that, but she also got a boost from Grandfather Fu, who give her a little reward for taking Jia Li''s side, and befriending her.


    Fu Meixu was an E-list actress, but within a year, she moved to the C-list, because of Grandfather Fu''s help.


    Knowing that the reward of taking care of Jia Li was worth a lot, Fu Meixu couldn''t bring herself to stop taking care of Jia Li or trying to get close to her.


    Fu Meixu still had ns to get back at Zhi Ruo, but for now, she will work hard to get to them too and make sure to snatch all her roles opportunities from her.


    Thinking of Jia Li, Fu Meixu decided to give her a call.


    "Mum, I need to rest now, see youter." Fu Meixu said to her mother before leaving for her bedroom. And once she got to her bedroom, she phones Jia Li.


    Jia Li was dressed and about to leave the house for the grocery store when she received Fu Meixu''s call.


    "I haven''t seen you in a long time, when will youe back?." Fu Meixu asked.


    "I will soon. How was yourst filming, sorry I forgot to ask?". Jia Li said.


    Before her wedding to Fu Hua, Fu Meixu was shooting a series, and she told Jia Li about it, and now she was done with it, Jia Li felt sorry for not asking about it.


    "It was fine. We will be having a dinner to celebrate the release, do you want toe with me?." Fu Meixu asked.


    "Can you bring someone along?." Jia Li asked as she was starting to get excited.


    "Of course, I can, any one of us is allowed to bring someone." Fu Meixu said like it wasn''t a big deal.


    Jia Li was interested to know what it would be like to see some celebrities and done with them, so she was quick to ept her idea, but before she could say ''Yes'' she remembered how the rtionship between her and Fu Hua was, and what he said to her before they got married.


    He wouldn''t like the media to know who his wife was.


    "Jia Li, are youing with me?." Fu Meixu asked after waiting for a while and not hearing her response.


    "I would like to, but I can''t." Jia Li replied.


    "Is it because of my cousin? Don''t worry about it, I will introduce you as my friend, nobody will ask you any question." Fu Meixu assured her.


    "Okay, I will think about it." Jia Li said after a while.


    If Fu Meixu introduces her as a friend, then there wouldn''t be any problem, but she didn''t know if it will be okay with Fu Hua.


    After the call with Fu Meixu, Jia Li went to the grocery store to buy some vegetables, meat, and things for a hot pot.


    When Jia Li returned, she sighed in relief, because it was so cold outside that she almost couldn''t stand it.


    After changing her clothes, she turned up the air conditioner in the house, so she could feel warmer quickly, and when she started to feel a little better, she turned down the temperature to the normal range, before going to the kitchen to make dinner before returned.


    Fu Hua came back in time to meet the food 99% ready. And by the time he came out after changing his clothes, Jia Li was already serving the food.


    "How did you do today?." Fu Hua asked.


    Jia Li sat down after putting soup in his bowl ???? and replied, "Fine. I worked on my pending drafts and went to the grocery store."


    "That''s good." Fu Hua said as he started to eat.


    From the way he was eating, it''s either he was very hungry, or he enjoyed Jia Li''s cooking, so which was was it?


    Jia Li and Fu Hua had their dinner in silence, and when they were done eating, Fu Hua reminded her about their moving houses the next day.


    "I have called the movingpany, they will being tomorrow afternoon to move our things. Since you have to submit your assignment tomorrow, you can do that in the morning ande back on time."


    "Okay, what about you? Will youe back from work at noon?." Jia Li asked out of curiosity.


    "I won''t be going to work tomorrow." Fu Hua revealed.


    Jia Li thought it must be because they were moving house that he canceled his appointments for the next day.


    Fu Hua helped Jia Li take the tes to the kitchen before leaving for his bedroom.


    When Jia Li finished working in the kitchen, she went to her bedroom to rest. She didn''t know if Fu Hua times her or it was a coincidence because he called her on phone 10 minutester when she was done resting and about going to the workshop.


    "Can youe to my bedroom to help me fold my clothes?." Fu Hua asked.


    Jia Li didn''t think too much about it and agreed to his request. "Okay."


    Leaving her phone on the bed, she adjusted her sweater and wore her flip-flops before leaving her room for his own.


    Jia Li knocked on the door, but she didn''t receive any response, so she opened the door and peeped inside, but she didn''t see Fu Hua. She even called out to him, but she didn''t receive any response, so she walked in and closed the door without looking behind it.


    As she made her way into the room, Fu Hua who was hiding behind the door, locked it with a mischievous smile on his face.


    Jia Li heard the movement behind her and quickly turned with a vignt look on her face. Seeing Fu Hua behind her, she was surprised.


    "How did you... Have you been here?." Jia Li asked with a surprised gaze.


    "Are you scared?." Fu Hua asked with a smile as he made his way towards her.

 Chapter 147 - You Have To Be An Obedient Wife

    <h4>Chapter 147 - You Have To Be An Obedient Wife</h4>


    "How did you... Have you been here?" Jia Li asked with a surprised gaze.


    "Are you scared?" Fu Hua asked with a smile as he made his way towards her.


    "Me? I''m... I''m not scared." Jia Li stuttered as she slowly stepped backward. She didn''t know if she was thinking too much, but she felt that Fu Hua was up to something.


    "It''s good that you''re not scared." Fu Hua said with a smile as he increased his pace and came to stand in front of her.


    Jia Li stared into his eyes innocently and asked, "You wanted me to help fold your clothes, where are they?"


    "Forget it, you are more important. Each time I stare into your eyes, I just want to do bad things to you, but why are you so innocent?" Fu Hua asked as he cupped her face.


    Jia Li was looking at him in confusion because she couldn''t make meaning of his words.


    "You still don''t understand that you''ve been trapped? I called you here for something else, and I also locked the door. Can you guess what I want to do?" Fu Hua whispered as he breathed in her scent.


    "That... I don''t know, but I want to go back to my room, I want to sleep." Jia Li said to him in a tiny voice.


    "Sleep here with me." Fu Hua said as he immediately covered her lips with his.


    His action came sudden, and Jia Li was not able to evade him in time.


    In between the kisses, Jia Li found her voice and called out to him, "Fu Hua" But he shushed her.


    "Shhhh... pay attention. It''s been a while since I felt you in my arms." Fu Hua said in a low tone as he captured her lips again.


    Jia Li was in a dilemma of where to ce her hands, but just in time, Fu Hua hung her hand on his shoulders and continued to kiss her senseless.


    As his wet tongue slipped into her mouth, he used that opportunity to explore her mouth, while offering her heated kisses.


    Jia Li let him kiss her, and since we couldn''t kiss back, she could only close her eyes and leave herself in his hands.


    When they were almost out of breath, Fu Hua released her lips, and they breathed heavily.


    Slowly letting her off, Jia Li was about to sigh in relief when he dragged her towards his bed, and immediately, she became frightened and tried to free her hand from his grasp.


    "Why are you so scared?" Fu Hua asked with a smile.


    "No, I just...I just..." Jia Li uttered incoherently without saying anything meaningful.


    Fu Hua could tell she was scared, but he was not in a good state of mind to let her off, because he had no such ns tonight.


    "Since you don''t want to go there yourself, I will help you." And as Fu Hua said that, he lifted her in his arms without warning and Jia Li let out a yelp and for fear of falling out of his arms, she circled her arms around his neck as he carried her to the bed.


    Immediately he put her down on the bed, He started to take off his jacket, then he said to her while sparing her asional nces, "Take off your clothes, or do you want me to help you?"


    Jia Li was truly scared of his approach and began to think of how she would escape. She nced at the door and thought of how long it would take her to get there before Fu Hua would catch her.


    Fu Hua followed her gaze to the door, and seemingly not bothered, he smiled and said to her, "Don''t even think about escaping, because I locked the door when you came inside. Just think about it, if you try to escape, and you get caught, there will be a punishment for you."


    Jia Li gazed back at him and swallowed hard. Seeing him taking off his clothes, she was scared, because he knew he wanted something more than a kiss tonight.


    Jia Li could remember thest time they had s*x, and it was that night of their wedding. She remembered how many times he made her do it with him, and since then, they have never had s*x.


    When Jia Li came back to reality, Fu Hua had already climbed on the bed and was currently helping her to take off her jacket.


    "Fu Hua?" She called out as she tried to turn and look at the man that was kneeling behind her, but he held her shoulder in ce.


    "Jia Li, you have to be an obedient wife. When I want it, you have to give it to me and when you want it, I will pleasure you like a caring husband that I am." Fu Hua whispered to her ear and he took off her jacket and threw it to the floor, and next, he hugged her from behind.


    Jia Li felt his warm body ster on her back, and she felt warm inside. While she was enjoying his warm hug, she felt his lips on the back of her neck, before he slowly trailed kisses to the side of her neck.


    Fu Hua was taking his time with kissing her neck area before he slowly moved his right hand to her chest.


    He squeezed her left boob gently, as he continued to trail kisses on her neck.


    Jia Li could feel the night would belong, and while having that thought, she felt a tinge of pain on her neck, Fu Hua had bitten her.


    "What are you thinking about?" He whispered to her ear, and that made Jia Li feel ticklish.


    "Nothing..." She lied.


    "If you are being absent-minded, that means I''m not doing a good job." Fu Hua said as he let her go.


    He gazed at her with darkened eyes, and she felt a little afraid.


    ''Is he annoyed with me?'' Jia Li thought.


    "I''m sorry, I will pay attention." Jia Li apologized.


    Fu Hua sighed and as he turned her to face him.


    "Why are you apologizing? You look so innocent when you have that look on your face, and I can''t help thinking of the bad things I want to do to you."

 Chapter 148 - Do You Like It?

    <h4>Chapter 148 - Do You Like It?</h4>


    Jia Li didn''t know what to say to him, but she kind of liked that feeling of him touching her. She didn''t know if she was wrong to think that way, but she wanted more of his touch.


    Fu Hua gazed into her eyes and saw her hidden desires, but Jia Li was a secondte to look away from him.


    Fu Hua smiled and wanted to tease her, but he knew she would be hurt if he did that since she was a shy person, so he let go of that thought.


    From her face, Fu Hua slowly moved his gaze to her chest. Because she was wearing a turtleneck top, he couldn''t see her cleavage, and he felt a bit frustrated.


    Fu Hua got off the bed and came to stand before Jia Li. He asked her to raise her hand, and she did that obediently.


    Fu Hua smiled as he slowly took off her top. When her boobs that were still trapped in her red bra came to his view, he felt more satisfied.


    He flung her top away and kneeled in front of her. Jia Li felt shy that her upper body was out on disy for him, so she looked away.


    Fu Hua took off his shirt and leaned in to capture her lips with his, as he slowly tasted them, he slowly moved his hands to her back and unsped her bra, setting her ample bosom free.


    With their naked upper body against each other, they could directly feel the warmth from each other.? From her lips, Fu Hua trailed kisses to her neck, and then in between her breasts.


    As he kissed the middle of her breasts, her warm breasts touched his cheeks, and it delighted him.


    Slowly, he caressed her back and her waist before he moved his lips to her right nipple and started licking it.


    Jia Li let out a soft moan and touched his hair with her eyes closed in pleasure.


    Fu Hua continued to kiss her nipple while caressing her upper body. Earlier when he started, he was gentle, but now, he had increased his pace, as he had fun sucking those pink nipples that were standing erect.


    After kissing her breasts for a while, he moved back to her lips and gave her a hot kiss.


    Jia Li was not a good kisser, so she let Fu Hua do most of the work. She hugged his neck, as she allowed him to kiss and caress her body.


    From her lips, Fu Hua trailed kisses to her neck, and back to her blossom.


    "Fu Hua..." Jia Li called out while moaning with her eyes shut. She felt her brain reset so many times while he was kissing and fondling her.


    Hearing her moan his name from her lips, Fu Hua became more passionate and proceeded to move to the next level.


    He took off his trousers and was now in his briefs. Jia Li felt excited down there and needed to feel touched there so she could feel better.


    With her gaze on Fu Hua, she watched him take off her trousers.


    "Next time, wear a skirt while you are at home." Fu Hua said a little frustrated with the fact that the fire he slowly ignited, was about to be quenched while taking the tight jeans off Jia Li.


    "I...I will feel cold if I wear a skirt, and I don''t have one." Jia Li said in a soft tone.


    "We will buy some after we move out tomorrow. And if you feel cold, you can turn up the heater." Fu Hua said in a raspy voice.


    Jia Li felt she was being deceived, but she still nodded in response.


    Fu Hua wanted Jia Li to wear skirts while at home, so he could easily have s*x with her without going through stress.


    Before Jia Li could think properly, Fu Hua took off her panties and moved her to lie on the bed with her back.


    ncing at her body in admiration, Fu Hua couldn''t helpplimenting her, "I like your body!"


    He surely did not need Jia Li''s response, because the next second after he said that, he kissed her cheeks, and then went down to her neck as he kneeled in-between her legs.


    Jia Li wee his kisses once again. And with his guidance, she hugged him and caressed his head and back.


    From her neck, Fu Hua continued trailing kisses to her breasts, before he slipped his left hand fingers in-between her legs.


    Jia Li gasped in pleasure and let out a loud moan as she inched her body closer to his body.


    As his fingers touched her, he felt how wet she was, and smiled and continued to kiss her.


    Jia Li only continued to let out moans consecutively as Fu Hua continued to explore her with his fingers.


    "Fu Hua..." Jia Li called out in pleasure as she rubbed his hair with her eyes shut. When she tried to sp her legs together, Fu Hua stopped kissing her breasts and slowly rose to look at her, with his fingers still trapped in-between her legs.


    "Do you like it?" Fu Hua asked in a hoarse voice as he used his other hand to separate her legs.


    "No" Jia Li replied while gasping.


    Jia Li''s mind was clouded in pleasure, so how could she listen and answer his question correctly.


    Hearing her say, ''No'' Fu Hua touched her clit with one finger, while the remaining four fingers, continued to work in the other areas.


    "Huhahahu..." Jia Li continued to make sounds of pleasure as she inched her body close to him, and not seeking the warmth of his body, she felt more frustrated as she gasped.


    While watching her react to his touches, Fu Hua felt pleasured as well as the thing in-between his legs reacted by hardening and probed as it wanted to be let out.


    Fu Hua felt it wasn''t time to enter her, so he continued to pleasure her with his fingers.


    Jia Li was still moaning with her eyes closed when she felt Fu Hua stop fingering her. Before she could open her eyes, she felt something wet touch her forbidden ce, and she cried out his name.

 Chapter 149 - Jia Li Attempts To Leave The Bed

    <h4>Chapter 149 - Jia Li Attempts To Leave The Bed</h4>


    Fu Hua licked her before he started to eat her with his mouth.


    The pleasure was too intense for Jia Li that she tried so hard to push his head away, but her hands ended up getting locked and trapped with Fu Hua''s hand.


    Fu Hua locked her hands with just a hand and continued to eat her.


    Jia Li didn''t know how long she moaned from the intense pleasure she was receiving. She moaned till tears started to brim at the corner of her eyes.


    With no time to waste, Fu Hua pulled his briefs and held them under her thighs with his hand, before entering her gently.


    Jia Li gasped when she felt him enter her, and she grabbed the sheets with his fists and closed her eyes and she moaned loudly.


    Fu Hua felt alive when he entered her, but he still had the patience to move in and out of her slowly, before he started to increase his pace.


    From squeezing the sheets with her hands, Jia Li moved them to caress Fu Hua''s hard body. The pleasure she felt was so intense, that she needed something to squeeze, and she ended up scratching him.


    Fu Hua was kind of lucky that her nails were cut the previous day, or he would have felt the pain and impact from her scratch.


    Fu Hua groaned and breathed out heavily as he kept moving in and out of Jia Li as fast as possible. He felt the pleasure of being inside his woman, and so he shut his eyes for a few seconds, before opening them to nce at Jia Li.


    Jia Li couldn''t keep her eyes open, so she couldn''t spare him a nce.


    Fu Hua felt a little excited with the pleasure he was giving her and the way she was reacting, so he slowed down gradually, and took out his member, and rubbed her clits with it.


    Jia Li was forced to open her eyes as she was being tortured.


    She nearly sat up, but Fu Hua pushed her back on the bed and held her legs tightly as he continued to tease her.


    He rubbed her clits with his member and then proceeded to enter her again.


    Fu Hua was really enjoying whatever that was going on, but Jia Li seemed not to be in the mood to appreciate it, as she needed him quickly.


    She didn''t understand and was not in the right senses to find out the reason he was torturing her, because he would take his member out, rub her clit, and then enter her again and move for a few seconds before taking it out again.


    Jia Li couldn''t endure the waves of unending pleasure and torture, so she started to plead with him.


    "Fu Hua...please." Jia Li said in-between moans and tears.


    "I thought you wouldn''t beg." Fu Hua said in a low sexy hoarse voice before he lowered his body to kiss her lips.


    "I will give you what you want since you asked for it." He whispered in her ears, and the next thing was followed with his actions.


    He listened to his wife''s pleading and stopped torturing her. He entered her and began to move quickly, and at the same time, trying not to be too fast so he wouldn''t hurt her.


    While moving inside her, he rained hot kisses on her naked body, and pleasured her by touching her clit with his thumb ???? and middle finger????


    Jia Li continued moaning loudly as she moved her hands back to the sheets and squeezed the life out of it.


    As she was getting closer to her climax, her moans grew louder, and so as Fu Hua''s groans.


    Within a few seconds, both of them climaxed at the same time and remained in the same position to allow themselves to recover from whatever just happened.


    Fu Hua breathed heavily with his eyes closed and remained inside of her, while Jia Li was still lost with her eyes closed. She couldn''t believe that the torture was over.


    She was more than satisfied and because she was not used to all of these, it took her a while to get over it.


    Slowly, Fu Hua pulled out of her andid beside her. He had the back of his hand on his forehead and gazed above him while breathing slowly.


    Seeing him pull out andying beside her, Jia Li nced at him from her peripheral view before turning her back against him.


    Fu Hua heard the movements from his side and turned to nce at her. When he saw her back, he felt that she needed hisfort, but first, he had something to do.


    He got out of bed and returned less than a minuteter with the duvet. He covered Jia Li with the duvet before getting inside it.


    And when heid on the bed with his left hand spread out, he pulled Jia Li into his arms with his right hand.


    Jia Li felt a little better because she thought he would abandon her after getting what he wanted, but she was proved wrong.


    If it was still that time Fu Hua and Feng Alix were together, it was a sure deal that he wouldn''t embrace her.


    Staring at Jia Li''s rosy face, Fu Hua kissed her forehead before whispering to her, "Look at me."


    Jia Li obeyed hismand and looked up to gaze at him. She was feeling shy, so she turned her face away from him, but Fu Hua ced his fingers on her jaw and forced her to nce at him.


    Jia Li thought he had something to say to her, but she was wrong. He only wanted to look at her face.


    Fu Hua kissed Jia Li''s lips, before moving away, and then, he started to caress her back.


    Jia Li felt so exhausted, and with him rubbing her back, her eyelids started to be heavy, but then she remembered that she had her things to pack since they would be moving out the next day.


    As she attempts to leave his arms, Fu Hua held her back and asked, "Where are you going to?"


    "I...I need to pack my clothes since we are moving out tomorrow." Jia Li replied with her gaze on him.


    "Sleep, you can do that in the morning." Fu Hua said he ced his hand on her back and shut his eyes.


    "But..." Jia Li tried to refute him, but she received a warning that forced her to shut her mouth and her eyes.


    Fu Hua opened his eyes and said to her, "If you still have the energy to pack your clothes, why don''t we go another round."


    Fu Hua felt amused when she shut her eyes immediately. He smiled and pulled her closer to him, before shutting his eyes.

 Chapter 150 - Jia Li Rejects A Call During Breakfast With Fu Hua

    <h4>Chapter 150 - Jia Li Rejects A Call During Breakfast With Fu Hua</h4>


    The next morning, Jia Li wakes up because of the hand that was gently squeezing her boob. She slowly opened her eyes and yawned, before ncing at the hand that was touching her.


    She turned over to nce at Fu Hua, and their eyes met.


    "Good Morning!" Jia Li greeted as she moved his hand away from her boob.


    "Morning!" Fu Hua replied with his gaze on her.


    Jia Li couldn''t stand his gaze, and so sat up and tried to get out of bed, but knowing she was still naked, and her clothes a little far from her, she had to think twice.


    Fu Hua nced at her hair which was still in a bun and stretched his hands to set it free, and it was toote for Jia Li to catch her hair.


    Fu Hua watched her long ck-ink hair fall behind her like waves. He appreciated her hair and even sat up to admire it.


    As Jia nced at him, she caught his gaze on her hair and wondered what was so special about her hair.


    As if just staring at the hair wasn''t enough, Fu Hua went on to touch it, and he couldn''t helpplimenting her.


    "I like your hair." He said in a low tone.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li said.


    She had no idea if Fu Hua had a thing for a woman''s long hair, because the way he was staring at it with deep appreciation, seemed odd.


    As Jia Li had things to do in the morning, like preparing breakfast and gathering her things, she had to get out of bed.


    She was already feeling very hungry and tired after waking upte.


    Fu Hua was kind enough to get out of bed stack naked and went into the bathroom, allowing Jia Li to befortable with getting out of bed, naked.


    Jia Li picked up her clothes and left for her bedroom. Within some minutes, she washed up and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.


    An hour and 30 minutester, Jia Li was through with the breakfast preparation and served it, before going to call Fu Hua.


    Fu Hua was in the workshop when she came to call him for breakfast, and he was amazed when he saw the breakfastid out on the dining table.


    He didn''t expect she would prepare that much (even though it wasn''t much) since she still looked very tired when she woke up.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua settled down to have a hearty breakfast.


    From the way Jia Li was eating, Fu Hua could tell how hungry she was. She wasn''t eating too quickly, but you could still tell when a hungry person was eating.


    Fu Hua liked the way she eats, because she doesn''t fake anything, unlike his ex-girlfriend that ate so little, probably because she needed to watch her weight.


    While eating, Jia Li''s phone began to ring. She has to pause with the eating to check who was calling.


    Seeing the name boldly written, her heartbeat increased by a few paces. She was a little afraid as she nced at Fu Hua, whose attention was still on his food.


    Because of the identity of the caller, Jia Li didn''t want to answer the call in Fu Hua''s presence, so she declined it, and continued to eat.


    Luckily, the person didn''t call back again, and her mind which was in turmoil became at ease.


    Actually, Fu Hua saw her decline the call, but he didn''t say anything to her. He only wondered who the person that called her was, while he continued eating.


    Today''s breakfast went equally, and it was more like 50:50 because both Jia Li and Fu Hua ate an equal share of the food.


    They also cleared everything that was served.


    After taking her drugs, Jia Li finished the remaining rice congee in her bowl.


    After breakfast, Fu Hua helped Jia Li to send the tes to the kitchen before going to his room to pack his things.


    Jia Li washed the tes and cleaned up the kitchen before going to pack her things as well.


    When it clocked 11 AM, Jia Li had to dress up and leave for school in a cab, while thinking that she wouldplete the remaining work when shees back.


    As Jia Li went to school to submit her assignment, Fu Hua was left all alone in the house. After tidying up things in his bedroom, he went to the study to gather their things.


    When he was getting exhausted, he made a cup of ck coffee and drank, before going back to his work.


    When he finished from the workshop, he went into Jia Li''s bedroom to look around, and when he saw that she didn''t finish up before leaving, he helped and continued from where she left.


    Jia Li spent over two hours in school before submitting her assignment.


    Her teacher was amazed by her work, and said to her, "Jia Li you have gifted hands, and the dress was sewn perfectly. You''re sure to get your dress sold quickly."


    Jia Li smiled because the reason the dress she made was perfect was that Fu Hua guided her.


    Jia Li would be sure to get paid half of the money that would be made from the dress when it was sold.


    Jia Li''s college was prestigious and lived up to its name. When assignments like these (dressmaking) were given, they would help the students that made the best dresses, to sell their dresses and the rights to the design.


    When the money was made, they would give half of the profits made to the students.


    Looking for a buyer wasn''t a problem. Because of the high reputation of her school, many fashionpanies, especially young ones, would alwayse to them to buy the best clothes, and the rights to make them.


    After submitting her assignment and receiving the project she had some weeks to work on, she left her teacher''s office.


    Waking towards the school, gate, she remembered that she had a call to return, so she took out her phone from her trouser pocket to return the call she declined during breakfast.

    <h4>Chapter 151 - [Bonus ] Fu Hua Kisses Jia Li In The Car</h4>


    After two rings, the call was answered.


    "Hey, Jia Li!" The familiar male voice said as soon as he answered the call.


    "Brother Huan." Jia Li called out.


    "How are you?" Li Huan asked in his usual gentle tone.


    "I''m fine. I''m sorry for not answering your call in the morning." Jia Li said in an apologetic tone.


    "There is no problem. How are your studies, are you almost done with school?" Li Huan asked.


    "Yes. I only have my final projects to work on, before graduation." Jia Li replied.


    "That''s cool."


    "Brother Huan, I have something to talk to you about." Jia Li said as she fiddled with her fingers because she was a bit nervous.


    "Did you encounter any problem, do you need my help with something?" Li Huan asked as he became worried for Jia Li.


    "No, it''s not that... I..." Jia Li was still trying to go to exin her current status, and everything that had happened since over two months ago, and Li Huan was paying attention to her when he heard amand from his direct boss.


    "Li Huan, see me in my office now!" His boss said as he walked past him with heavy steps.


    Li Huan who was still on a call with Jia Li had to apologize to her.


    "Jia Li, we will talk next time, my boss just called for me." Li Huan exined.


    "Oh! Did I get you into trouble?" Jia Li asked in a worried tone.


    "Not at all, he probably needs me for urgent work." Li Huan replied.


    "Okay, bye." Jia Li said and terminated the call after hearing his response.


    After ending the conversation with Jia Li, Li Huan left his work desk and quickly went to see his boss. When he got to the office, he knocked.


    "Come in." The middle-aged voice said from inside his office.


    Li Huan opened the door and walked in after closing the door behind him. He greeted his Boss respectfully and waited for him to talk.


    "Thepany will be sending me to a branch in another country, and they need someone from under me to fill in my position." His Boss said with a serious gaze at him.


    Li Huan didn''t know what his Boss was getting at, and he didn''t want to conclude with the little idea that just formed in his head, so he patiently waited for his Boss to continue.


    "Thepany has their eyes on someone, but I want you to fill in my position, but before then you will have to prove you''re a better choice. Take these files on my desk andplete all the tasks as soon as possible. You will be judged by your efficiency, uracy, and some other things." His Boss said while pointing to the files that were stacked on one corner of his work table.


    Li Huan came back to his senses as a smile appeared on his face. He felt so happy but managed to take it in.


    He thanked his boss and picked up the documents he pointed at. Then as he was about to leave, his boss said to him, "Good luck."


    Li Huan was all smiles when he returned to his desk. He immediately finished the work he had at hand, before proceeding to go through the files he had just received.


    He felt so happy that he wanted to share this with Jia Li and his mother, but he refrained from doing that, as he only wanted to give them the news of his promotion when the matter was concluded.


    ******************


    While Jia Li was away, Fu Hua called the movingpany to move their things over to their new house.


    And after things has been settled in the new house, Fu Hua left the house and drove towards Jia Li''s school.


    Jia Li was almost close to the gates when she received a call from Fu Hua.


    "Are you through?" He asked directly.


    "Yes." Jia Li replied.


    "Okay, I''ming to your school, I will be there in two minutes." Fu Hua said to her.


    "Oh...okay" Jia Li responded.


    His words were enough for her to know he wasing to pick her up. She wondered if she took so long in school, that he got ufortable and had toe to pick her up.


    After the call, Fu Hua sped up, and in 2 minutes, he was already at the school gate.


    Jia Li saw the familiar sports car, and a smile appeared on her face as she walked towards it.


    After setting herself in the front passenger seat, Fu Hua asked for a kiss.


    "Won''t you give your husband a kiss?" Fu Hua asked with raised brows.


    Jia Li stared at him with a confused look, before looking away after she got his message. She acted like she didn''t understand what he said, and turned to pull the seatbelt.


    "Since you don''t want to give me a kiss, then I would have to get it myself." Fu Hua said with a smiling gaze.


    Immediately Jia Li finished securing her seatbelt, Fu Hua removed his seatbelt and leaned over to kiss her, as she raised her head.


    Jia Li was caught unaware by the kiss and remained static for a while. She didn''t recover till Fu Hua moved away from her.


    She blinked her eyes and then nced to look outside the rolled-up windows.


    Fu Hua smiled at her cuteness and secured his seatbelt while saying to her, "The ss is tinted."


    Jia Li sighed in relief thanks to Fu Hua''s reminder. Initially, she was worried that people could see them.


    Fu Hua didn''t say anything more. He ignited the engine and drove off. Some minutester, he parked in front of an expensive restaurant.


    "Let''s eat lunch." Fu Hua said before getting out of the car.


    Jia Li felt rxed inside, because she was already very hungry, and didn''t think she would have the energy to cook anything when they got home. And luckily for her, they were eating lunch outside.


    After lunch, Fu Hua drove straight to a high-end boutique to shop for short skirts for Jia Li. His act amazed Jia Li because she didn''t know he would keep to his words about getting her short skirts.

 Chapter 152 - You Are My Whore

    <h4>Chapter 152 - You Are My Whore</h4>


    Jia Li was so embarrassed when Fu Hua picked about five short skirts and gave them to her to go and try them.


    The shop attendant following after them was surprised. If not for the training she received, her facial expression would have been visible.


    Jia Li nced at Fu Hua with pleading eyes, but Fu Hua wasn''t ready to change his mind.


    "Go and try them on, I have to be sure they are your size. I don''t want to go back home and discover that I picked the wrong size." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li had no choice but to follow the shop attendant to the changing room, while Fu Hua continued to shop.


    Within a few minutes, Fu Hua had picked a few tops for her, before passing them to the shop attendant with them.


    "Give them to her."


    Jia Li was still thinking about how she would look on one of the skirts when the shop attendant knocked and walked in with more clothes for her to try on.


    Jia Li wanted to protest, but the shop attendant had already left.


    7 minutester, Fu Hua was starting to be impatient, because Jia Li hadn''te out to show him any of the dresses she tried on, so he went to find her.


    Without knocking, he opened the door and walked into the changing room.


    Jia Li was already putting on thest set of clothes when he barged in.


    "What''s taking you so long?" Fu Hua asked before his gaze moved to her clothes.


    Jia Li was putting on a short jean skirt with a singlet that exposed her cleavage.


    Although she didn''t have long legs, her thick thighs, made her look very sexy.


    "I was trying out the clothes." Jia Li replied as she hugged her chest.


    "You''ve tried them all?" Fu Hua asked as his gaze returned to her face.


    "Yes, this is thest one." Jia Li replied.


    "Howe you didn''te to show them to me?" Fu Hua asked with raised brows.


    "You only asked me to try them on to be sure they fit, you never said I had to show them to you." Jia Li replied as she looked away.


    Fu Hua was tongue-tied with her reply, and he couldn''t refute her, because she was right. He never said she had to show him the clothes after trying them on.


    Jia Li was already feeling weird dressed like that, and Fu Hua noticed it with the way she was trying to pull the skirt down, and by doing that, her boobs bounced, and that was enough to turn him on.


    With a frown, he asked, "What are you doing?"


    "I...I don''t like these clothes, I...I look like a... whore." Jia Li replied in a soft tone as she looked away.


    "You don''t need to like them, you only need to wear them for me to see. After all, you are my whore." Fu Hua said to her with a teasing smile.


    Jia Li was shocked by his words.


    ''How could he call me his whore?'' Jia Li thought as she couldn''t understand his logic.


    Jia Li felt offended by his words and till they left the boutique, she refused to look at him, and talk to him.


    Fu Hua who was driving, nced at her, before looking back on the road.


    "Are you angry with me?" Fu Hua asked.


    Jia Li continued to ignore him and nced at the car window to look at the view outside.


    Fu Hua guessed the reason she was angry and said to her in a calm tone.


    "You don''t like to be my whore?" He asked, but still, he didn''t receive any response.


    Fu Hua sighed and continued, "If you don''t ept to be my whore, should I go and meet some other woman outside to satisfy my sexual needs?" Fu Hua asked.


    His question made Jia Li react.


    She nced at him before looking away as she muttered under her breath, "Did you have to put it in an ugly way?"


    Fu Hua heard her clearly and said to her, "Since you don''t like my words, then I will apologize, I''m sorry."


    Jia Li felt better with his apology, because his addressing her as his whore, made her look as if she was only in his life to satisfy his sexual needs.


    Fu Hua saw that his apology worked, so he went on to address another issue.


    "Jia Li, I want you to know that as a man, I have sexual needs, and I like being excited once in a while by my woman. It''s okay if you don''t know how to and that''s why I want to teach you. So are you willing to learn how to satisfy my needs?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.


    Jia Li felt weird with that question and didn''t know how to reply. She had no idea of how he started talking about his sexual needs.


    "Don''t you want to make me happy?" Fu Hua asked again.


    He had to simplify the question to make herfortable. He was telling her one of the things that make him happy, as he didn''t want to hide it because she was his wife.


    Since the question hade down to this, Jia Li had to reply. "I want to make you happy."


    "That''s all I need to hear." Fu Hua said with his eyes on the road.


    After some time, Fu Hua asked, "Would you have the strength to make us dinner?"


    Jia Li nced at him, and their gaze met.


    "I can still cook dinner, but I will need to get a few things from the grocery store." Jia Li replied.


    "Forget it, rest tonight, I will order dinner from the hotel." Fu Hua said.


    Initially, Fu Hua wanted to eat Jia Li''s cooking for dinner, but he changed his mind as he wanted her to rest.


    The car became silent until Fu Hua drove into a private estate. Jia Li was surprised with the new environment and asked, "Are we here to see someone?"

 Chapter 153 - Jia Li Requests To Have Her Bedroom, But Fu Hua Rejects It

    <h4>Chapter 153 - Jia Li Requests To Have Her Bedroom, But Fu Hua Rejects It</h4>


    The car became silent until Fu Hua drove into a private estate. Jia Li was surprised with the new environment and asked, "Are we here to see someone?"


    As Jia Li asked that question, she also thought about who they had to visit by this time since it was evening already, and they still had to move out of their house.


    But Fu Hua''s reply surprised her.


    "Our new house is located here. And we don''t need to go back to the previous house, because our things have already been moved to that ce."


    "Huh!" Jia Li reacted in surprise ????


    ''Did he move our things while I was in school?'' Jia Li thought, and then she remembered she didn''t pack all her things before leaving the house, so she became worried about it.


    Soon, Fu Hua parked their car in front of a duplex before saying to her, "this is our new house."


    Jia Li nced at it curiously as a smile slowly bloomed on her face.


    Getting out of the car, Fu Hua asked her, "Do you like it already?"


    "Yes, it looks beautiful." Jia Li replied happily.


    She felt joyful that they had moved into a bigger house, and she was going to start a fresh memory with Fu Hua.


    Fu Hua smiled and took out the shop bags from the car before locking it, then he turned to Jia Li to say, "Let''s go in, it''s so cold out here.


    Jia Li followed him into the house, and she was more amazed by the interior designs, and she knew it costs a lot of money to set the house to that standard.


    Jia Li didn''t see anything old in the living room, as there was only new furniture there. Thinking that he only changed the pieces of furniture in the sitting room, Jia Li didn''t think too much.


    But when she toured the house with Fu Hua''s guidance, she discovered that everything else was new, apart from the things that used to be in their workshop.


    Jia Li was curious to know what happened to their previous pieces of furniture, so she asked, "What about the pieces of furniture from the other house?"


    "It will be sold with the house. This is a new house, and I don''t like to see old things in a new ce." Fu Hua replied.


    Jia Li understood his point and didn''t say anything more.


    When they went to their new workshop, Jia Li was very happy to see the big space and white background painting. She felt she wouldn''tck inspiration while working there.


    After showing her the rest of the house, it was time for the bedroom part.


    When Jia Li found out they were going to share the same bedroom, she was a bit surprised, but with the fear of him, she requested to have her bedroom since there were a lot of them in the house, but Fu Hua refused her.


    Jia Li bes a little upset with his denial. She wanted to have her bedroom, so it would be possible for her to escape most of his future advances, but he ruined her ns.


    Fu Hua saw that she was upset and leaned in to say to her with a smile, "Get used to it."


    Jia Li had no choice but to follow him into the bedroom they now had to share.


    Jia Li wondered how she was going to survive with him in the same bedroom.


    After cing the shop bags in the walk-in closet, Fu Hua left Jia Li alone in the bedroom, and went downstairs to make a call.


    He ced an order for their dinner before settling down in the sitting room.


    Jia Li wasfortable changing out of her clothes as Fu Hua was not around.


    Walking into the closet, she saw how big it was. She also had the opportunity to see Fu Hua''s clothes, shoes, and essories.


    After changing to a set offy clothes, Jia Li went to the workshop.


    To celebrate their moving in, Fu Hua popped a bottle of red grape wine during dinner.


    He allowed Jia Li to have a little. The wine had a very low percentage of alcohol ???? and that''s was the reason he allowed her to have some of it.


    Jia Li frowned when Fu Hua refused to give her more of the wine after she finished the wine in her ss.


    "You''re pregnant, I can''t give you more." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li became helpless with that reminder. The wine was so sweet that she wished to have more, but unfortunately, she couldn''t have more of it.


    "Do you want fruit juice?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.


    "No." Jia Li rejected the option he brought up. Currently, she was better off without the fruit juice.


    Despite that she was unhappy as she couldn''t have one wine, Jia Li ate her food happily, and after that, she took her drugs.


    In their bedroom, Fu Hua reminded her, "We will be leaving for the Fu House after breakfast tomorrow, you can get a few of the things you might need over there."


    Before they moved out of the Fu house back then, they left some of their things there, so there wouldn''t need to pack another load whenever they had to visit and stay over for a few days.


    Being reminded about going to the Fu house the next days, Jia Li went to gather her things.


    This night, Jia Li and Fu Hua didn''t go to the workshop. They went straight to bed after arranging their things.


    As theyid in bed, Fu Hua brought Jia Li to his embrace and cuddled her. Jia Li tensed up as she thought something was going to happen, but Fu Hua said to her with his eyes closed, "I just want to hug you to sleep."


    Jia Li felt a bit rxed and closed her eyes to sleep.


    The next morning, Fu Hua ordered breakfast for them, since there was nothing in the fridge to cook with.


    After eating, they both took their things and left for the Fu Mansion.

 Chapter 154 - You Dont Trust Me?

    <h4>Chapter 154 - You Don''t Trust Me?</h4>


    Grandfather Fu was all smiles when he heard about Jia Li and Fu Hua''s arrival, but most importantly, Jia Li whom he doted on. He even left the important things he was doing and came out to wee them.


    Fu Hua had a calm look as he greeted his grandfather. Jia Li embraced the old man in a side hug.


    After the hug, Grandfather Fu took a good look at Jia Li and smiled. He saw that she was looking good, and guessed that she was being taken care of.


    "Good...Good." Grandfather Fu said with a smile before he asked them toe in.


    Since it was almost 10 AM, there were only a few family members around.


    Fu ChunHua heard that Fu Hua and Jia Li were back, and came out to wee them. She looked very happy to see Jia Li and even went up to hug her.


    "Since you just arrived, you can go up to your room and rest." Grandfather Fu said to Jia Li and Fu Hua.


    "I will go and prepare some refreshments for them." Fu ChunHua said and went away.


    Grandfather Fu stood and watch Jia Li and Fu Hua leave.


    With his hands behind his back, he left for his study with Butler Lu walking beside him.


    Back in the study, Butler Lu said to the old man in a happy tone, "Sir, you look so happy today."


    "Of course, I''m happy knowing that Fu Hua is taking good care of Jia Li. I made the right choice by bringing them together." Grandfather Fu said with a proud smile.


    "Sir, you indeed made the correct choice." Butler Lu said with a smile.


    After unpacking their things, Jia Li went toy on the bed.


    "Are you tired?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Yeah, I''m a bit tired," Jia Li said.


    "Do you need a massage, I can help you." Fu Hua said as she walked towards the bed.


    Hearing him say he could give her a message, Jia Li rejected him. She didn''t know if the massage would lead to something else.


    Fu Hua guessed her thoughts from her looks and asked, "You don''t trust me?"


    "No, I just want to sleep." Jia Li replied and closed her eyes immediately.


    Fu Hua smiled and didn''t bother her again. He really had pure intent this time around, but it was obvious that she didn''t trust him.


    Fu Hua took off his jacket and kept it on the side of the bed, next, he covered Jia Li with the duvet before leaving the room.


    Fu Hua went straight to the library after leaving the room.


    30 minutester when he returned to the room, he didn''t see Jia Li, and so went out to look for her.


    Jia Li who had a little nap woke up and went to look for her dog. She has missed her dog so much, and she wondered if she would still act familiar with her.


    As Jia Li approached the dog kennel, Ocean heard the approaching footsteps and started barking.


    "Ocean?" Jia Li called out excitedly as she quickened her footsteps. It looks like Ocean recognized her voice and became excited as well.


    Atst, when Jia Li finally appeared before Ocean, her bark became louder, and she was looking for a way toe out of her kennel.


    Jia Li smiled brightly as she released Ocean from her cage, and immediately she was set free, she pounced on Jia Li.


    As Jia Li was expecting that she would do that, She turned to her side a little, so she wouldn''t pounce on her stomach.


    "Ocean, you look like you missed me a lot." Jia Li said with a smile as she embraced her.


    Ocean reduced the tone of her barking.


    Jia Li let her stay in her embrace for a while as she rubbed her back. And finally, when She let her off, Ocean started to circle her.


    "Did my appearance change?" Jia Li asked as she let out augh. She had no idea why Ocean was circling, so she asked that question.


    Ocean seems to reply to her question, because she barked and circled her twice, beforeing to stand before her.


    Jia Li stretched out her hands to rub her hair and give her a tender scratch on her back.


    Ocean barked once more, beforeing very close to her, and started to sniff her.


    "What are you doing?" Jia Li asked while giving out a softugh.


    Ocean nced at her, before moving her gaze to her stomach, and before Jia Li could respond, Ocean nudged her stomach gently.


    Jia Li finally understood the reason Ocean circled her and paid attention to her stomach. It turned out that Ocean knew she was pregnant.


    "You know I have a baby in there?" Jia Li asked with a smiling gaze on Ocean, as she instinctively ced her palms on her stomach.


    In response to her question, Ocean barked again.


    Jia Li smiled the more and caressed Ocean''s back. Ocean seemed more excited and barked again before she started to circle her again, and this was the scene Fu Hua saw when he came out to find Jia Li.


    With his hands in his pockets, Fu Hua approached them.


    Ocean heard the footsteps and immediately nced towards Fu Hua and started barking. At this point, Jia Li followed her gaze and saw Fu Hua approaching them with a frown.


    Jia Li nced back at Ocean and calmed her down. She said to her while rubbing her back. "Ocean calm down, he is a friend."


    Ocean understood her words, and stopped barking, and then continued to circle Jia Li again. Jia Li was almost getting dizzy with the way she was circling her.


    Fu Hua finally approached them and nced at Ocean with a frown.


    "Why is she acting that way?" Fu Hua asked curiously.


    Since he first caught sight of them, Ocean seemed very interested and happy while circling Jia Li, and he became curious and wanted to know the reason.


    "She can sense the baby in my stomach, that''s the reason she keeps circling me." Jia Li replied.

 Chapter 155 - Fu Hee Was Unhappy With Their Interaction

    <h4>Chapter 155 - Fu Hee Was Unhappy With Their Interaction</h4>


    Since he first caught sight of them, Ocean seemed very interested and happy while circling Jia Li, and he became curious and wanted to know the reason.


    "She can sense the baby in my stomach, that''s the reason she keeps circling me." Jia Li replied.


    Fu Hua frowned, even more, when he learned about it. "If she continues acting like this, it wouldn''t be long before it will be suspicious when someone sees this, or are you ready to tell the family about your pregnancy?."


    Fu Hua was right, if any member of the family saw Ocean circling Jia Li like that, they would be curious since that act was already suspicious.


    Jia Li knew Fu Hua was right. She wasn''t ready to tell the family she was pregnant, so she had to get Ocean to stop circling her.


    "Ocean, sit beside me." Jia Li said to Ocean. Ocean being an obedient dog, brought out her tongue, and wagged its tail as she came to sit beside Jia Li who was squatting.


    Jia Li looked very happy as she touched Ocean''s hair.


    Jia Li stayed with Ocean for a few more minutes before she tried leaving, but she discovered that she couldn''t get up as she felt pain in her legs from sweating for too long.


    Fu Hua sighed and came to help her up.


    Jia Li thanked him before asking Ocean to go back inside her kennel, and she locked it up before leaving with Fu Hua.


    "When they went back inside the house, the snacks Fu ChunHua asked the kitchen to prepare, was ready, so Jia Li and Fu Hua sat down to eat them up.


    After enjoying the snacks while watching the Tv, Grandfather Fu called for Jia Li.


    This time around, he didn''t ask her over to his study but met her in one of the smaller sitting rooms in the house.


    Jia Li was surprised the old man had nothing much to say to her, because he only asked about how she was being and her studies, before talking about Fua Hua''s ex-girlfriend.


    "Jia Li, I know you suffered during that time, but I''m happy everything is over, and Fu Hua settled his mess. You don''t have to worry about any other thing, just eat and take good care of yourself." Grandfather Fu said to her.


    "Thank you, Grandfather." Jia Li said with a smile.


    Grandfather Fu smiled and talked about some other interesting matters with Jia Li, before allowing her to leave.


    When Grandfather Fu met Fu Hua, he gave a hardly noticeablepliment.


    "Jia Li looks happy. How did she see the new house, did she like it?." Grandfather Fu asked.


    "She liked it." Fu Hua replied in simple words.


    "I want you two to spend a little time here. Since Jia Li wouldn''t need to be in school next week, you two can stay for a while." Grandfather Fu suggested.


    Fu Hua didn''t say anything in response, which was a silent agreement with what he said.


    Later in the evening when Fu Hee and the remaining member of the family came back, they learned that Fu Hua and Jia Li were around, and went to greet them, but Fu Hee was an exception.


    She was annoyed that Jia Li came with Fu Hua. She would have been happy if Jia Li didn''te with Fu Hua, for she would have used that opportunity to introduce him to Mrs. Bai. But too bad that opportunity wasn''t close.


    During dinner, the scenario looked harmonic. A few times, Fu Hua would put some side dishes on Jia Li''s te.


    When Grandfather Fu saw their interaction, he was all smiles, and couldn''t hide the happiness he felt.


    Fu Hee had their eyes on them, so Fu Hua''s gestures didn''t escape her sight.


    Fu Hua was annoyed to see their interaction, but she couldn''t do anything about it. Grandfather Fu was present, so she couldn''t berate Jia Li for not taking the food by herself.


    Fu Hua could only swallow her annoyance and eat her food with bitterness in her heart.


    After dinner, When Jia Li and Fu Hua were about to leave for their bedroom, Fu Hua followed them.


    "Mum, do you have anything to say to us?." Fu Hua asked as suddenly stopped walking and turned to nce at Fu Hee.


    Fu Hee smiled at him, but when her gaze met with Jia Li''s she tolled her eyes at her.


    "I will leave first." Jia Li said to Fu Hua in a soft tone and before Fu Hua could say anything to her, she had already walked away.


    Fu Hua nced back at his mother and fixed a cold gaze on her because she saw her roll her eyes at Jia Li.


    "What do you want to see me for?." Fu Hua asked.


    "Why are you sounding cold towards me? It''s been a long time since saw you, can''t I want to speak to you?." Fu Hee asked with a smile.


    "What do you have to say to me?." Fu Hua asked as his tone changed for the worse. He wasn''t in the mood to listen to her nag.


    "I only wanted to chat with you for a while, do you have time?." Fu Hee asked as she saw that Fu Hua was already getting angry.


    "I don''t have time to chat. I want to sleep early, I have a lot of work to do in the office tomorrow, we can chat when I have time"


    After saying that to her, Fu Hua walked away, leaving his mother to stand there in the worst movie ever.


    "Did your grandfather feed you something or what? Since you got married, your attitude had turned worse, or did that girl use a charm on you?." Fu Hee asked as she stared at the empty hallway.


    She was very annoyed since her son couldn''t give her a little of his time. She forgot that he had always been that way even before he got married.


    But she wouldn''t seize to me Jia Li for everything since she was looking for more reasons to hate her.

 Chapter 156 - Purple Cabbage

    <h4>Chapter 156 - Purple Cabbage</h4>


    When Fu Hua went into the room, he saw Jia Li sitting in front of his desk.


    "What are you doing?" Fu Hua asked as he approached her.


    "I''m trying to work on my new project." Jia Li replied without looking at him. Her concentration was on the empty page of the sketchbook in front of her.


    "Won''t you rest for today? You can start working on them tomorrow." Fu Hua said with creased brows. He didn''t know the reason she wanted to start working on her project immediately even with the long time she was given for it.


    "I had a nap earlier and I don''t feel sleepy now." Jia Li replied.


    After a little while of silence, Fu Hua said to her before walking inside the inner room, "Don''t mind my mother''s actions, I don''t mind as well."


    Jia Li nced over in time to see Fu Hua''s back disappear behind the door.


    As his backpletely disappeared, Jia Li looked back to the empty page right before her.


    She surely did feel bad about the way Fu Hee treated her, but there was nothing she could do about it. She didn''t even need to try to get her in her good books to know that she would never be epted.


    Since Fu Hua asked her not to mind his mother, then she wouldn''t do it. And she thought she would be safer that way.


    She didn''t know how to fake a rtionship, because it would be a waste of time, effort, and emotions.


    When Fu Hua came out from the inner room, he joined Jia Li at the desk. He saw that she was still drawing the face of the model, and didn''t say a word as he didn''t want to distract her.


    It wasn''t long after Fu Hua sat at the desk, that Jia Li started to feel sleepy. She rubbed her eyes and continued scribbling on her sketchbook.


    Fu Hua nced at her and looked back to his system while saying, "If you''re feeling sleepy, go to bed."


    Jia Li nced at him and replied, "I don''t want to sleep now, I had a nap earlier."


    Fu Hua raised his brows as he stared at her. "Go to bed if you''re tired, don''t force yourself. You have more than enough time for your project."


    Jia Li sprawled on the desk andined, "I don''t think I have enough time. Two weeks it''s not enough time to design a dress out of any vegetable of my choice, and then make a dress out of it."


    Fu Hua stared at her in surprise, not because it was something new to him, but it was because it was something, like a method used to test the new designers in FJ sometimes.


    He was indeed surprised that her school would use that kind of method on them. What a prestigious school befitting of its name.


    "Have you chosen the vegetable your choice?" Fu Hua asked with an interesting gaze on her.


    "Not yet, I''m confused." Jia Li replied as her mood turned sour.


    She didn''t know why she wasn''t in a good mood, but she knew she was not ready to be subjected to stress.


    At the moment, she was yet to take the important step in her project, which was to decide on the fruit or vegetable she wanted to work with.


    "You can go to bed now, tomorrow morning, you can go into the kitchen for a survey. You might see the right vegetable or fruit that would be a good pick." Fu Hua suggested with concern.


    Jia Li immediately sat upright and nced at him. "That''s a good idea. I''m going to sleep now, good night." She said before going straight to bed.


    Fu Hua smiled before going back to his work. He was currently researching new trends in the fashion industry.


    He worked tillte into the night before turning off the lights and going to join her in bed.


    The next morning, after washing up, Jia Li went straight to the kitchen following Fu Hua''s advicest night.


    The servants and chefs preparing breakfast, we''re surprised to see her in the kitchen. They bowed to her in greeting, while wondering what she came for.


    Jia Li''s servant saw her and smiled as she approached her.


    "Miss, do you need anything?" She asked.


    Jia Li recognized and asked with a long gaze, "Are there any vegetables here? Can I take a look?"


    "Of course,e I will show you to the kitchen store." The servant said as she led Jia Li to another door inside the kitchen.


    In there, it was cold. The temperature in the room was set to keep the vegetable and fruits fresh.


    "Miss, the vegetables are here, you can take a look at them." The servant said while pointing at the vegetable arranged at the corner.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li said to her with an appreciative smile.


    "No trouble, Miss." her servant replied with a smile.


    Jia Li took her time studying the vegetables. This was her first time inside the kitchen store, as nothing has ever brought her there.


    The kitchen store was very big, and there were a lot of things in there, and the kitchen wasn''t left behind.


    The kitchen was big enough to prepare dishes for any wedding or ceremony.


    While in the store, her servant helped her to hold up the vegetables and fruits, while she studied them.


    Atst, Jia Li chose the purple cabbage.


    "I think I will work with this one!" Jia Li finally made her choice with a smile.


    "Huh? Miss, do you need it for something important?" The servant asked curiously.


    "Yes. Please bring it to me after breakfast." Jia Li instructed.


    "Okay, Miss." Her servant replied.


    "And, can you tell the kitchen to add a fresh vegetable sd for my breakfast?" Jia Li said to her, as the urge to eat some fresh vegetables came to her.


    Maybe it''s because she was in a vegetable store ????????


    "Okay, Miss." Her servant replied with a smile.


    When Jia Li came out from the kitchen, she felt relieved with the fact that she has finally picked a vegetable to work with, and with the fact that she was no longer feeling cold.

 Chapter 157 - Fu Hua Foresaw The Stress...

    <h4>Chapter 157 - Fu Hua Foresaw The Stress...</h4>


    After breakfast, Jia Li got the purple cabbage from her servant and started making her way towards the stairs, where she nearly bumped into Fu YingPei.


    Fu YingPei was in a rush to leave for work when he nearly bumped into Jia Li, but he was fast enough to dodge her.


    "Sister-inw, are you okay?" Fu YingPei asked in a worried tone as he ced his hands on Jia Li''s shoulder.


    Just now, Jia Li was a little shocked. She thought she would have been rolling down the stairs by now, but she was lucky enough that Fu YingPei was fast enough to have dodged her.


    "I''m fine..." Jia Li managed to reply with her two fingers pressing onto her temples.


    "Do you feel dizzy?" Fu YingPei asked as he peered at her in worry.


    "I will be fine in a bit. Please help me pick the cabbage." Jia Li requested as she pointed at the purple cabbage that rolled out of her hands.


    As Fu YingPei still had his palms on her shoulder, he nced over to the direction she pointed at and was in time to see Fu Hua standing there with creased brows.


    Fu YingPei sighed in relief and immediately exined to him before he could question him as he slowly took his palms away from Jia Li''s shoulders.


    "Brother, I almost knocked sister-inw over while I was in a rush, can youe and take a look at her, she seems to feel dizzy."


    Fu Hua moved his gaze from his brother to his wife as a visible frown could be seen on her face.


    When Jia Li met his gaze, she took her fingers away from her temples and immediately said to him, "I''m fine."


    Fu YingPei nced between the couple and felt the weird atmosphere. He didn''t know if what he felt was right, but he didn''t have time to dwell on it.


    He walked down the stairs and to the ce close to where Fu Hua stood, to pick the purple cabbage, and went back to hand it to Jia Li.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li said to him as she received the vegetable.


    Fu YingPei gave her a thumbs up ???? before leaving their side.


    Jia Li nced at Fu Hua and felt a bit awkward. She didn''t know the offense shemitted for him to stare at her that way.


    "You should be careful." Fu Hua said to her as he finally rxed his brows.


    Jia Li didn''t say anything in return, and Fu Hua climbed the stairs to meet her. He nced at the purple cabbage in her hands and asked, "You want to work on this?"


    Jia Li nced at the cabbage in her hand before ncing at him with a nod.


    "Why did you choose it?" Fu Hua went on to ask. He was curious to know the reason for her pick.


    "It looked attractive." Jia Li replied. That was her first impression of the purple cabbage when she set her eyes on it.


    "Get ready to make an attractive dress." Fu Hua said and walked past her and continued climbing the stairs.


    Jia Li was confused by his statement and nced at the cabbage before ring at his back, and then she chose to continue her journey while wondering what his words meant.


    She didn''t see anything wrong with the cabbage.


    ''Why did his words not sound like apliment or an encouragement?'' Jia Li thought as she climbed the stairs.


    When Fu Hua set his eyes on the purple cabbage, he already foresaw the stress it was going to take to replicate a dress exactly like it.


    He had in mind to tell Jia Li of the stress she would go through to makes her dress exactly like her design draft, but he changed his mind.


    Sometimes, it was good to try out big and difficult tasks, it helps to break through to another level.


    After taking his work bag from the room, Fu Hua left for work.


    Jia Li had all morning to work on her design draft. When she finallypleted it, the desk was already scattered with the remains of the purple cabbage and the items she worked with.


    After admiring her work, Jia Li imagined the realistic dress in her head as a satisfied smile appeared on her face, before going on to tidy the room.


    During Lunch, she stayed back in her room, since it was just her, Fu ChunHua, and Fu Hee that were at home, as the rest had left the house for their various jobs.


    Jia Li was afraid of her mother-inw and didn''t want any form of confrontation from her.


    While hiding away, Jia Li slept off. She woke up minutester from the knocks on the door. Opening her eyes, she yawned and had no idea how she fell asleep.


    She felt so hungry as she got out of bed and went to answer the door.


    She was surprised to see a servant standing outside the door with a trolley of food.


    "Miss, the mistress said to take your lunch to you." The servant replied immediately she saw Jia Li.


    "Oh... thank you!" Jia Li said as she allowed the servant to push the trolley inside the bedroom.


    She was grateful to Fu ChunHua for asking the servant to send her lunch to her.


    Since Fu ChunHua was the Mistress of the Fu Family, the servants all addressed her as the Mistress to Fu Hee''s fury.


    Afterying out the food on the ss table, the servant left the trolley close to the door and stepped out of the room.


    Jia Li quickly sat down and started eating. She found the food nd along the way. She didn''t know if the problem was from her taste buds, but she still forced herself to finish it, because she was very hungry.


    After eating, she drank from the ss of water and felt a lot better, before going into the inner room to make use of the bathroom.


    After drinking the ss of water, she became pressed immediately.


    After staying in her room for a little while, Jia Li went out to find Ocean.

 Chapter 158 - Fu Hua Caught Them Unaware

    <h4>Chapter 158 - Fu Hua Caught Them Unaware</h4>


    Jia Li was out ying with Ocean when Fu Meixu came to find her.


    Fu Meixu was scared of dogs, so she dared not approach Jia Li who was being protected by Ocean, plus her barking.


    Jia Li had to say goodbye to Ocean and lock her up in her kennel before going to meet Fu Meixu.


    "I told you toe closer, she doesn''t bite." Jia Li said to Fu Meixu.


    "Look at the way she was staring and barking at me ferociously, there is no way I would have listened to you, I don''t want to get bitten by her." Fu Meixu said she shook her head.


    "Ocean listens to me, and she wouldn''t bite you if I control her." Jia Li said.


    "What? That means I can never offend you in the future lest you send her after me." Fu Meixu said in fear.


    She was truly scared of dogs. When Ocean was still a puppy, She only dared to get close but didn''t dare to touch her. But now that she was all grown up, it was all the more she couldn''t get close or think of touching her.


    As they walked towards the entrance of the house, Jia Li asked, "You came to find me, do you need me for something?"


    Her question reminded Fu Meixu of the reason she came to meet her.


    "Yes. I came to remind you of the wrap-up party for myst shoot. You''reing with me, right?" Fu Meixu asked with a smiling gaze.


    Jia Li gave her an awkward nce before exining, "I haven''t told Fu Hua about it, and I''m not sure he will let me go."


    "Why don''t we do this? I will talk to Grandfather about this, and he will surely let me take you along. Even Brother Hua will not be able to stop you froming with me." Fu Meixu suggested with a smile.


    Jia Li looked a bit worried as she asked, "I think that''s a wrong move. Don''t you think it will look like we told on him to grandfather?"


    Fu Meixu guessed that Jia Li was scared and so asked, "Are you afraid of him? Well, it''s right to be scared of him, he doesn''t smile with anyone, and only knows how to keep a straight face. How do you manage to stay close to him with that ice-cold face all day?"


    "What did you say?" Fu Hua asked from behind them with a cold tone.


    Jia Li and Fu Meixu didn''t need to turn their backs to know who that voice belonged to. That familiar cold voice sent shivers to their spine.


    Fu Meixu didn''t bother turning to look back, she hurriedly escaped, leaving Jia Li behind.


    Jia Li felt betrayed when she saw Fu Meixu run into the house, and somehow, she med her for using bad words on Fu Hua.


    Jia Li didn''t dare to turn back and wanted to escape as well, so she took hurried steps towards the door, but her view was blocked by a tall figure.


    How couldn''t she recognize the scent of the person that just blocked her way?


    She smiled sheepishly and slowly nced up to look at Fu Hua.


    "You''re back, already?" She asked.


    "Were you expecting me to sleep at work?" Fu Hua retorted with a cold gaze.


    "No, I didn''t mean that." Jia Li replied and didn''t dare to say any other words.


    "What were you two talking about behind my back?" Fu Hua asked as he put his hands in the pockets of his jacket.


    "It wasn''t behind your back, you have clearly been eavesdropping all along." Jia Li muttered to herself, but Fu Hua heard them.


    "What did you say?" Fu Hua asked as his expression turned frosty.


    "I didn''t say anything." Jia Li said and sneezed after that.


    Fu Hua''s facial expression switched immediately, from a frosty look to a frown.


    "How long have you been standing outside?" He asked.


    "Not long. I came out to see Ocean." Jia Li replied as she rubbed her nose.


    Fu Hua was annoyed with her as he nced at her from head to toe. She wasn''t putting on a head warmer, and there were no gloves ???? covering her hands.


    He immediately pulled her as he made his way into the house.


    Jia Li knew he was annoyed with her and chose to remain quiet because whatever she said would be used against her.


    As for Fu Meixu, she didn''t stop running until she got to her bedroom and locked the door. Even when her mother called out to her, she totally ignored her as she ran for her life.


    She only rxed when she threw her handbag on the floor andid her back against the bed, and then only, she sighed in relief.


    It was after she has calmed down that she thought about Jia Li. She became a little worried as she didn''t have the slightest idea of what Fu Hua could do. But then next moment, she calmed down, since Jia Li had grandfather Fu on her side.


    As Fu Meixuid on the bed, she wondered if she had ruined the opportunity for Jia Li toe with her to the wrap-up party.


    When Jia Li and Fu Hua got into the bedroom, Fu Hua didn''t ask about the scene downstairs. He looked like he didn''t care anymore.


    He went into the inner room without saying a word.


    "Is he angry with me? But why?" Jia Li asked herself as she sat at the foot of the bed.


    She had no idea the reason he was angry with her.


    ''Could it be because I didn''t tell him what I talked about with Meixu?'' Jia Li thought with a frown ????


    The next minute, Fu Hua walked out of the inner room and went over to sit on his desk.


    "Did you finish your draft?" He asked without looking up.


    "Yes." Jia Li replied immediately as she stood up and walked over to him.


    She found her sketchbook and handed it over to him, so he could have a look at what she designed using the purple cabbage.

 Chapter 159 - Fu Hua Says A ****** Joke, But Jia Li Fails To Understand It

    <h4>Chapter 159 - Fu Hua Says A ****** Joke, But Jia Li Fails To Understand It</h4>


    "Not bad. Are you ready to make the dress?" Fu Hua asked as he ced the book on the desk and nced at her.


    Jia Li looked confused because of his question. Did she have to be ready to make the dress before she could make it?


    "Do you know what it will take for you to make a dress like this?" Fu Hua asked while pointing at the draft.


    "Yes. I have to get the right materials and fabrics." Jia Li replied.


    "You are right, but it doesn''t end there. You have to use white fabric, and dye it with the right color, before working on the material to make it look like this." Fu Hua said while pointing at the draft.


    Jia Li studied the pattern of the purple cabbage and discovered how difficult it will be to make the dress like that. Then she looked at Fu Hua and said shamelessly, "I knew it will be a bit difficult, so I already nned to ask you for help when the right timees."


    Fu Hua narrowed his gaze at her and asked "Do you mean what you say?"


    "Yes." Jia Li replied while nodding her head frantically.


    Fu Hua gazed at her silently for a few seconds before looking away as he said, "I don''t trust you."


    Jia Li''s eyeballs widened in shock and immediately ran to his side to convince him.


    She knew he was very good with making dresses because he was very experienced with choosing the right materials and fabrics, and he knew the best stitches to use at the right ces.


    With thiscking knowledge she needed, she has to do everything to make him teach her and help her out.


    So, it would be right to say that Fu Hua would help to cover her weak point.


    "I''m serious. You are so good at making dresses, and your skill is the best. When you helped me with my assignment, I knew how good you were. So, when my project was given to me, I thought about you immediately."


    Fu Hua nced at her with doubt. He couldn''t even see through her now. He had no idea if she was telling the truth or not.


    Since he didn''t want to ept her words so easily, he asked, "I am the CEO of a big designingpany and you can see how busy I am every day. I only do things that will profit me, so what are you willing to give to me after receiving my help?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.


    "You want something from me?" Jia Li asked.


    She didn''t know what a rich man like him wanted from a poor girl like her.


    "Yes, I don''t want to teach you for free. I want you to pay the price for knowledge so you will value it." Fu Hua replied.


    Jia Li thought that what he said made sense. Knowledge acquired freely may be taken for granted, but when you pay the price to gain knowledge of a particr skill you need, you will value the efforts you went through for it.


    Fu Hua saw that she has bought the idea and smiled to himself.


    He actually told her the truth even though he had another thought in mind.


    "Okay, what do you want from me, I don''t have any money to give to you." Jia Li said straightforwardly.


    If he asks her for money, she wouldn''t be able to give it to him, because she didn''t have it. She only had her monthly allowance Grandfather Fu was always sent to her, and a rich man like Fu Hua wouldn''t be satiated even if she gave him everything.


    "You don''t have money?" Fu Hua asked. He wasn''t asking because he was expecting money from her, but because it just urred to him that he has never given any money to her.


    Jia Li remained silent with her gaze on him.


    Without wasting time, Fu Hua whipped out his phone and asked for her bank ount details.


    "You want to give me money?" Jia Li asked in surprise.


    "Yes. Call it quickly." Fu Hua urged her.


    Without wasting time, Jia Li called her bank ount number for him, and right there, she received an answer of 50,000 USD.


    After sending the money to her, Fu Hua saved her ount details as a beneficiary, so he wouldn''t need to ask for it again the next time he would want to send some money to her.


    Jia Li''s mouth was agape in shock when she saw the huge amount of money sitting in her ount.


    "Why did you send this much? I can''t use it all." Jia Li queries him.


    "Let''s talk about business. What will you give to me in exchange for mentoring you?" Fu Hua asked, totally ignoring her question.


    ''How did wee back to that?'' Jia Li thought. She was thinking since he sent her money, there wouldn''t be any need to talk about that matter again, but she was wrong.


    "Should I send your money back to me?" She asked as she showed her phone to him.


    Fu Hua frowned upon her words.


    "What do you want, tell me, I will try to fulfill it." Jia Li said to him atst.


    "Are you not being faster than your shadows? Don''t you want to know what I want?" Fu Hua asked with an interesting gaze.


    "What do you want then?" Jia Li asked.


    If it was to be his ve for a month, she can do anything to get him to help her with her project.


    "It''s toote. You have already agreed without asking. You owe me one." Fu Hua said as he dismissed the matter.


    "Will, you at least give me a heads up when you want me to repay you?" Jia Li asked.


    "I don''t give a heads up, I can only give you head." Fu Hua said with a smirk.


    Jia Li was confused as she didn''t understand the nonsense he was talking about.


    Fu Hua regained his sense of humor and smiled because teasing his innocent wife was so fun.


    If only Jia Li knew what giving head (sexual interpretation) means, she would have preferred she messed up with her project or asked Grandfather Fu to help her find a coach.

 Chapter 160 - His Approval

    <h4>Chapter 160 - His Approval</h4>


    If only Jia Li knew what giving head (sexual interpretation) means, she would have preferred she messed up with her project or asked Grandfather Fu to help her find a coach, then to agree to something she had no idea about.


    Since Jia Li didn''t say anything, Fu Hua took it as a tacit understanding. It didn''t matter if she knew what he meant or not. To him, her silence was an agreement.


    As Fu Hua was in a good mood, Jia Li felt the opportunity was right to bring up the matter about following Fu Meixu to her film wrap-up party.


    "Fu Hua, please I have a request to make." Jia Li said in a polite tone.


    Fu Hua dropped whatever he was doing and fixed his gaze on her.


    "What request do you have?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Can I follow Meixu to her film wrap-up party?" Jia Li asked after generating courage.


    "Was that the reason you two were talking behind my back?" Fu Hua asked as he remembered the scene from earlier.


    This time around, Jia Li said the truth. "Yes. She asked if I wished toe with her, and I agreed, but I dyed my response because I have to get your permission." Jia Li said in a soft tone.


    Fu Hua liked herst statement and immediately gave his approval without asking for further exnations or questions.


    Jia Li was surprised with how easy it was for him to approve of it. She was so surprised that she didn''t know when she said, "Just like that?"


    Fu Hua said to her, "Do you want me to give you another condition for my approval?"


    "No...no, thank you!" Jia Li said and immediately left his side just before he would change his mind.


    Having gotten his approval, Jia Li texted Fu Meixu to share the good news with her.


    Fu Meixu: What? that was so fast.


    Feeling guilty about leaving her and running for her life, Fu Meixu apologized. It was a good thing that Jia Li didn''t bear a grudge against her.


    Fu Meixu: Great! We have to go to the beauty salon and shop for our outfits in the morning. The party is in the evening.


    Jia Li wondered if this was how the life of the wealthy was because there were obviously so many clothes in the closet to pick from, but it was a habit to get a new one for every new event.


    Atst, Jia Li agreed to it.


    After exchanging texts with Fu Meixu, Fu Hua called her attention.


    "Don''t forget you''re pregnant and don''t drink any alcohol. Don''t give your contact to anybody."


    Fu Hua knew that Jia Li was naive, and it was easy to deceive or use her, so he had to remind her of things she shouldn''t do.


    "Okay." Jia Li agreed immediately because she didn''t have any issues with it.


    The next morning after breakfast, Fu Hua called Fu Meixu out to speak to her. Thetter was so scared and didn''t know if Fu Hua wanted to punish her for speaking against him.


    She was surprised to find out he only wanted to talk about her protecting Jia Li.


    Fu Hua noticed that Fu Meixu was lost in thought while he was speaking to him, and his countenance changed.


    "Are you even listening to me?" Fu Hua asked in a cold tone.


    His cold tone was enough to bring Fu Meixu back to her senses so she hurriedly replied, "Yes...Yes..."


    "If any mishap happens to Jia Li, I will settle the scores with you. Make sure you take the driver I arranged for you two." Fu Hua said before walking away.


    ''Is it so hard to go out with Jia Li these days? Why is everyone being so overprotective of her?'' Fu Meixu thought as she couldn''t ce her hands around it.


    She was surprised that even her cold-faced cousin would be so overprotective of Jia Li as to even threaten her and arrange a driver for them.


    Fu Meixu didn''t dwell on the matter for long, because she was going to the clothing store to pick some dresses, which alone made her excited.


    Around noon, Jia Li and Fu Meixu left the Fu house with the car and driver Fu Hua arranged for them.


    The first went to the beauty salon to wash their hair and get a massage. Next, they went shopping. Naturally, Jia Li had a good taste in fashion, but she didn''t like to wear most of the clothes, because of the kind of person she was.


    But she could make a good pick for some else.


    Fu Meixu was not Fu Hua who could impose a dress on Jia Li. She could only allow Jia Li to choose whatever she wanted.


    With this cold weather, and with the fact that she didn''t want to garner any attention, she chose a pair of blue jeans trousers and a long-sleeve turtle neck blouse.


    "Jia Li, do you really want to dress like this? There will be some celebritiesing to the party." Fu Meixu reminded her.


    "I''m fine with this. You only invited me to join in the party, I am not one of you." Jia Li said as she nced at herself in the mirror.


    "Okay, but you at least have to wear the shoes I will choose for you, I have to make you look beautiful." Fu Meixu said as she went to the footwear section to pick a pair of stiletto ???? for Jia Li.


    Jia Li rejected her pick and said with a smile. "The weather is so cold and I can''t stand it, I prefer to wear a pair of boots with short heels."


    Fu Meixu decided to let her choose whatever she wanted, while she went on to pick her dress.


    She chose a white sexy dress and a pair of a red stiletto.


    Jia Li wanted to ask her if she wouldn''t feel cold, but she saw her picking a red leather jacket and kept her thoughts to herself.


    From the clothing store, they went to get their make-up done, before leaving for the venue for the wrap-up party.

 Chapter 161 - Is He Your Boyfriend?

    <h4>Chapter 161 - Is He Your Boyfriend?</h4>


    On their way to the venue, Fu Meixu talked to Jia Li about her filming and the pros and cons surrounding the industry.


    While conversing with Jia Li, Fu Meixu discovered that Jia Li hadn''t watched any of her movies. She forcibly downloaded two of them that had already aired.


    "Jia Li make sure to give them a try and give me a few pointers from the audience''s perspective."


    "Can I do thatter?" Jia Li asked. She had so many things to do, plus her project, so she didn''t know if she would have the time to watch it as soon as possible.


    "Okay, but I would love feedback soon, I have to prepare for an audition this weekend, your pointers can help to improve a few things." Fu Meixu said to her.


    "Okay." Jia Li agreed. Since she put it that way, Jia Li had to agree with her.


    When they got to the venue, both of them alighted from the car and walked into the hotel as the driver went to park the car.


    Fu Meixu had a huge smile on her face as she found the room for the party and walked in with Jia Li.


    Since the party had already started when they arrived, all eyes were on them when they walked in.


    Fu Meixu greeted everybody in the room and apologized to them by drinking two shots of alcohol, and then, she went ahead to introduced Jia Li to them.


    "Everyone, this is my friend, Jia Li, she is a fashion designer."


    Jia Li followed Fu Meixu''s lead and greeted everyone in the room. Jia Li felt at ease as everyone in the room weed her. They didn''t have to be genuine for Jia Li to be satisfied. As long as they returned the greeting she was more than okay with it.


    "Meixu don''t just stand there, bring your friend toe and sit." The director of the movie said to Fu Meixu with a smile.


    "Thank you, director." Fu Meixu replied before taking Jia Li with her to go and sit.


    Not long after, Fu Meixu''s enemy arrived, and it turned out that she was a big shot.


    When Zhi Ruo arrived, Jia Li noticed the change in Fu Meixu''s attitude, and she guessed they were not on good terms.


    Just like Fu Meixu, Zhi Ruo chose to drink 5 shots of alcohol. As she did that, almost everyone hailed her as a goddess.


    Fu Meixu was angry deep down because of the attention Zhi Ruo received, but the fake smile on her face made it difficult to see through her thoughts.


    After the noise died down, Fu Meixu pretended as if she was starting to be hot and took off her jacket.


    She managed to garner another wave of attention when the sexy dress hidden underneath the red leather jacket was revealed.


    Fu Meixu smiled as she gotpliments from almost everyone in the room, and finally when she settled her gaze on Zhi Ruo, their eyes met.


    Zhi Ruo scoffed and looked away and Fu Meixu smiled even more brightly.


    Jia Li who was sitting beside Zhi Ruo saw the hidden exchange between them and turned her gaze away.


    She had no idea how the acting industry worked, and she was surprised to see such a scene.


    Throughout the party, the highlight was on Fu Meixu and Zhi Ruo.


    When someone brought up the role shended without having to audition for it, they all congratted and rained praises on her.


    As if that was not enough, another person mentioned how Fu Meixu moved from an E-list actress to a C-list actress within a year and praised her capabilities.


    Fu Meixu seized the opportunity to unt in front of Zhi Ruo who seemed to mind her a lot.


    Someone from the side praised their agency since the two of them were signed to the same agency, and were doing very well.


    When someone asked Fu Meixu what her goal was, she simply said, "I want to be at the top and show those that looked down on me that I could get there."


    While saying that, Fu Meixu had her gaze on Zhi Ruo before she looked away toplete her statement.


    It was only Jia Li and Zhi Ruo that understood what that look meant.


    Fu Meixu was indirectly talking to Zhi Ruo, and thetter was not a fool not to get the message.


    When the drink order came, Jia Li simply picked a bottle of fruit juice. The rest picked beer with only a few of them choosing the same thing as her.


    Jia Li only held onto one bottle of fruit juice till the party came to an end.


    The movie director asked her to feel free to take any drink of her choice, but Jia Li thanked him politely as she said she was okay with the one she had.


    As the party was being wrapped up, Zhi Ruo''s phone rang and it attracted the attention of others.


    After answering the call, Zhi Ruo apologized to them and exined that it was her friend that called.


    "Sorry, my friend just called that he is here to pick me up." Zhi Ruo said with a smile.


    "A male friend? Is he your boyfriend?" Someone asked boldly.


    Zhi Ruo smiled as she replied, "He is just a friend"


    "Since he is just a friend, we will like to see him." Another person said, and the others agreed with her.


    Just like that, everyone followed Zhi Ruo outside to see the male friend that came to pick her up.


    Fu Meixu was angry with the attention Zhi Ruo managed to garner at the end of the party.


    She didn''t want to follow the others outside, but she had no choice. She didn''t like the fact that everyone was praising Zhi Ruo for having a handsome male friend.


    From the interaction between them, Fu Meixu could tell there was something more to their rtionship, and she suddenly became interested in them.


    After Zhi Ruo left with her male friend, Fu Meixu mentioned she was leaving as well and waved goodbye to them before getting into the car with Jia Li.

 Chapter 162 - Another Way To Check If She Was Telling The Truth

    <h4>Chapter 162 - Another Way To Check If She Was Telling The Truth</h4>


    On their way back to the Fu House, Jia Li noticed that Fu Meixu was annoyed, and she couldn''t help asking...


    "Meixu, do you dislike that celebrity that much?"


    Fu Meixu nced over and replied without hiding her inner thoughts.


    "Her name is Zhi Ruo, and she is signed to the same agency as me. When I was just a model, I admired her because she was an A-list celebrity, and I wanted to be like her. She insulted me one time when I tried to approach her, and I swore that I was going to catch up to her and overtake her."


    As Jia Li listened, she finally understood the reason they both disliked each other.


    Fu Meixu didn''t end there but went ahead to advise Jia Li.


    "Jia Li, this industry is for the smart and strong people. If you are not careful, you will only swallow insults and be stepped on without receiving any help. To be in my industry, you must be ready to fight and snatch things from people. When you get to the top, only then can you rx. And I''m sure the fashion industry is like that as well. Be ready to fight."


    Jia Li listened and understood her point because Fu Hua has given her a simr pointer before. She must be ready to face anything and ovee once she starts walking because the fashion industry was also a bloodbath just like the entertainment industry. If you don''t fight, you will remain hidden.


    When they got to the house, it was almost time for dinner, so they went to their various bedrooms to wash up ande down for dinner.


    When Jia Li walked into the bedroom, she saw Fu Hua sitting on the desk with transparent framed sses.


    This was the first time she was seeing him on another type of sses apart from sunshades. He looked very serious in those sses.


    When Jia Li walked into the room, Fu Hua asked as he raised his head to give her a good nce. "You''re back?"


    "Yes." Jia Li replied.


    "How was it? Did anyone bully you?" Fu Hua inquired.


    ''Why would he think anyone would bully me?'' Jia Li thought.


    "No one bullied me. I didn''t take any alcohol, I didn''t exchange my contact with anyone, and I was careful." Jia Li said in one go.


    "I don''t trust that you didn''t take any alcohol,e, let me check." Fu Hua said to her as he stood up and gestured for her toe to his side.


    Jia Li was not surprised he doubted her. She has no idea how he would check her out, but she went to his side before she could think things through.


    As she was not close enough, Fu Hua frowned and pulled her closer. "I''m not going to eat you, why are you standing so far away, or are you guilty of something?"


    Jia Li was about to protest when he pulled her very close to him, but when she heard thest part of his words, she respected herself and stood at a ce without moving.


    Fu Hua was happy with her obedience and lowered his head to sniff her neck. Jia Li was tickled by the hot breath she felt on her neck and wanted to move away, but he stopped her with amand.


    "Don''t move." Fu Hua said to her.


    As Fu Hua had other ns, he was annoyed when he took of Jia Li''s jacket and saw the turtle neck she was putting on.


    He couldn''t believe that kind of clothes would ruin his ns. He used his fingers to drag the cor of the dress, but he wasn''t able to see Jia Li''s cleavage.


    He looked very annoyed, and as Jia Li tried to drag her clothing away from his grasp, she met the annoyed look on Fu Hua''s face and thought he was annoyed with her, and instinctively left her clothing.


    Fu Hua let go of the cor of her dress and said to her, "There is another way to check if you''re telling the truth."


    Jia Li locked eyes with him, and as she was waiting for him to exin the other way, his lips covered hers as his hands went to her back to steady her.


    Jia Li was taken aback but didn''t try to break away from him, because before she could finish thinking about it, Fu Hua already let her go.


    Nodding his head, Fu Hua said to her, "You were really obedient."


    Jia Li met his gaze and immediately left his side for the inner room as she muttered under her breath, "Shameless."


    Luckily, Fu Hua didn''t hear her. He was still happy with the fact that he could tease his innocent wife.


    After washing up, Jia Li left with Fu Hua to the dining room for dinner.


    During dinner, Fu Hee nced at Jia Li, and then at Fu Hua before saying to Fu Hua, "Hua, I want Jia Li to follow me somewhere tomorrow."


    All eyes fell on Fu Hee because of her request. Everyone knew she didn''t like Jia Li, so what was the reason she wanted Jia Li to follow her out. Who knew what her true intentions were.


    Grandfather Fu didn''t say a word, as he was waiting to see how Fu Hua would reply. And truly, Fu Hua didn''t disappoint him, even though he didn''t like the exact way he put his words.


    "No, you can''t. Jia Li is not allowed to attend any function with any member of the family, apart from grandfather. I wouldn''t want my wife to be a topic for the media to discuss on." Fu Hua replied.


    His response didn''t dwell with Fu Hee, who protested immediately.


    "How could you reject me just like that? If I''m not allowed to go out with your Jia Li, why would you allow her to go out with Meixu if you don''t want people to know who your wife is?"


    "It''s not your decision to make, on who I allow my wife to go out with." Fu Hua said to her without mincing words.


    Fu Hee felt angered and humiliated that she wanted tosh out at him, but Grandfather Fu''s voice, caused her to contain her anger, as she nearly forgot he was still sitting in the dining.


    "What else do you want to say?" Grandfather asked.


    Fu Hee became silent and went back to eating, and so as everyone.


    Jia Li was relieved as she didn''t have to go out with her mother-inw.

 Chapter 163 - Waiting For Him

    <h4>Chapter 163 - Waiting For Him</h4>


    After dinner, Jia Li and Fu Hua went back to their bedroom.


    "If my mother asks you to go out with her, tell her you can''t leave without my permission." Fu Hua said to Jia Li after settling on his desk.


    Jia Li nodded without saying anything. She had wanted to ask if their rtionship will worsen if she refused her, but she saw that there was no need for that.


    Jia Li went into the inner room to change her clothes, and when she came out a few minutester, Fu Hua was already sitting in bed.


    Jia Li stopped in her steps and nced over.


    Fu Hua smiled silently as he patted the space beside him with his left palm. It was an indication for Jia Li toe over.


    ''What''s his ns?'' Jia Li thought as she walked to the bed and got underneath the duvet, and she made sure to leave a lot of space between her and Fu Hua.


    Jia Li must be very naive for she thought leaving a lot of space between them could stop Fu Hua from doing what he had in mind.


    Fu Hua turned off the lights and only left the bedsidemps on. He got underneath the duvet and moved close enough to Jia Li.


    Jia Li felt the movement behind her and remains static. Because she had her back against Fu Hua, she couldn''t see him. Her eyes were opened, and her body was alert while waiting for Fu Hua''s next move.


    Without warning, Fu Hua turned her to face him and immediately captured her lips ????. He touched her face as he kissed her with his eyes closed.


    Jia Li didn''t struggle and let him kiss her to his heart''s content.


    Fu Hua slowly left her lips and gazed into other''s eyes and asked with a smile, "Aren''t you going to push me away?"


    "Will it make you stop?" Jia Li asked with her gaze on him.


    She already knew the answer to that question, but she asked that in other to tell him that there was no need to resist his touches since it wouldn''t stop him from doing what he had in mind.


    "No, it wouldn''t." Fu Hua replied, and Jia Li chose not to speak.


    A smile appeared on Fu Hua''s face as he said to her in a low tone, "You are bing very smart."


    Without waiting for Jia Li''s response, Fu Hua kissed her lips again and explored her mouth with his hot tongue as his hand went inside her clothes to touch her.


    Fu Hua didn''t receive any response from Jia Li, she didn''t even return his kisses, so he stopped and gaze into her eyes, before withdrawing silently.


    He sighed andid on his back after he moved away from her.


    Jia Li was not expecting him to stop, she thought he would insist on having his way with her but didn''t.


    She was tired and was not in the mood to get under the sheets with him, and the best way she thought she could reject him was to remain emotionless, but without knowing, it was the worst way to reject Fu Hua.


    Fu Hua felt rejected and decided to leave Jia Li alone for the night. After exhaling for a while, he got out of bed.


    Jia Li thought he was definitely angry and became worried. She didn''t know if she should exin things to him, because acting that way without exining things could lead to a misunderstanding.


    Jia Li decided to wait for Fu Hua to return to bed, but he didn''t return until she was half asleep. She was so sleepy that she couldn''t say anything to him.


    The next morning when she woke up, Fu Hua was nowhere to be seen. Even when she went to the washroom, she didn''t see any sight of him.


    After washing up, she came back to the bedroom and was in time to see Fu Hua stepping into the room with a headset on his ears, a head warmer, and a pair of sneakers ????.


    He looked very different from his usual cold and serious Bossy look. Jia Li felt that he looked more charming.


    Fu Hua who had just returned from a morning run nced at Jia Li who was already dressed in some casual clothes. Then he proceeded to walk past her without saying anything.


    ''Is he still angry with me?'' Jia Li thought.


    The truth is that Fu Hua was acting like his usual self, but because of what yed outst night, Jia Li thought otherwise.


    Since Fu Hua had nothing to say to her, it was normal for someone like him whose words were like gold to not say anything.


    Jia Li sat on the bed to wait for Fu Hua to finish washing up.


    Fu Hua took off his headset in the walk-in closet and changed out of his sneakers and shirt, before walking into the bathroom in his sports trousers to have his bath.


    When he returned to the bedroom dressed in his work suit, he was surprised to see Jia Li sitting on the bed with a frown.


    "Why are you sitting there? Are you not hungry?" Fu Hua asked.


    "I''m hungry." Jia Li replied as she got up from the bed. She sighed in relief because he spoke to her.


    Fu Hua didn''t say anything to her. He didn''t know the reason she would still be sitting there if she was hungry, without knowing she was waiting for him.


    Fu Hua picked up his work bag ???? and was about to leave the bedroom when he saw Jia Li still standing in the same position.


    Thinking that she was reluctant about having breakfast with the family, he said to her, "If you don''t want to have your breakfast downstairs, I will ask a servant to bring it here for you, so you can eat and take your drugs."


    "No, I''m fine." Jia Li replied before following him out.


    They were thest people to join in the dining room, as everyone was already seated.


    Immediately Jia Li walked into the dining room, her nose scrunched up in a frown when she perceived something she didn''t think she would be able to handle the smell.

 Chapter 164 - Seeking For Attention

    <h4>Chapter 164 - Seeking For Attention</h4>


    Immediately Jia Li walked into the dining room, her nose scrunched up in a frown when she perceived something she didn''t think she would be able to handle the smell.


    The smell of egg changed Jia Li''s system immediately she perceived it. She didn''t feel like continuing her journey to her dining seat.


    Jia Li touches the hem of Fu Hua''s jacket, and feeling the touch, Fu Hua nced over to look at her.


    Before Jia Li could say anything, Grandfather Fu noticed their presence and called out to them happily.


    "Why are you standing there? Come and sit."


    Fu Hua ced his hand on Jia Li''s shoulder and brought her to sit in her position, before sitting beside her.


    Jia Li nced at all the food on the table. This was an English-styled breakfast, so the presence of eggs wouldn''t be a surprise. But the problem now was that she didn''t like their smell.


    It was irritating her system, and she was starting to feel nauseating.


    "Jia Li, did you sleep wellst night?" Fu ChunHua asked when we saw Ji Li''s face not looking so bright.


    As Jia Li opened her mouth to reply, Fu Hee said without a care, "Why wouldn''t she have a goodnight rest, what else does she want?"


    What Fu Hee means is that Jia Li got money from the Fu family, got to attend the best fashion and designing school in the country, and also got to marry her son, who was the CEO of FJ Styles, so since she had all of these, why wouldn''t she sleep well?


    Fu Hee felt all eyes on her, but she didn''t give a damn about it.


    "If you''re tired of eating, leave the dining room." Grandfather Fu said angrily before looking at Jia Li with a smile.


    "Girl don''t mind her, eat some egg." Grandfather Fu said as he gave some fried egg.


    As Grandfather Fu put the egg on her te, Jia Li''s face scrunched up in a frown, and her body became ufortable. The need to throw up became more severe.


    Fu Hua nced at Jia Li and saw her looking at her te with a frown. He followed her sight to the te, but couldn''t identify what she was looking at, because there was some other food apart from the egg on her te.


    Fu Hua nced back at Jia Li and saw her fidgeting with her fingers on herps. He became a little worried and was about to ask her what the matter was.


    But at that time, Jia Li covered her mouth and got up from her seat before running away from the dining room, to the shock of everybody.


    Even Fu Hee couldn''t help but be shocked by her actions. Her eyes followed Jia Li until she left their sight.


    "Fu Hua, what is wrong with Jia Ji?" Grandfather Fu asked worriedly.


    Fu Hua wiped his lips and got up from his seat as he replied, "I will go check upon her."


    After replying to the old man, he left the dining room to go and find Jia Li. He had a frown on his face as he searched for her.


    When he left, Fu Hee said, "What could be wrong with her? She is just seeking attention."


    "Are you sure about that?" Fu ChunHua asked with a smiling gaze.


    "What else could that be? If I talk now, everybody would be against me. Since that girl came into this family, my life has never been the same again. She..."


    "Shut your mouth!" Grandfather Fu caught her off as he directed an angry gaze towards her. He was so mad at her that he would have hit her on the face if she wasn''t so far away.


    Fu Hee knowing when to stop, shut her mouth. She wasn''t ready for anything to be thrown at her randomly by the angry old man.


    Grandfather Fu was a retired Army Major General, and even in his old age, he never misses his aim. If he picked up something to throw at her, not only will he hit his target, the impact of his strength would cause an injury.


    Fu YingPei nced at his mother and couldn''t help but find her worrisome. He didn''t know the reason she liked to cause trouble.


    ''This was not in her traits before, or did taking away her position caused her to be like this?'' He thought.


    Fu Hua found Jia Li in the visitors'' restroom throwing her guts out. He was irritated at first, but he didn''t know when he came to her side and started rubbing her back.


    Jia Li felt better with her back being rubbed by someone. She had no idea who was helping her, and she wasn''t in the condition to care about it. She continued throwing up until nothing wasing out again, and then she felt a lot better.


    Fu Hua took out a handkerchief from his trouser pockets and passed it to her. Jia Li saw the handkerchief in front of her and took it as she whispered a thanks.


    Fu Hua stepped out after that, and returned a minuteter with a bottle of water in his hand, and was in time to see Jia Li ready to leave the restroom.


    "Take it." He said while passing the bottled water to her.


    Jia Li took it and thanked him.


    "I will wait for you outside." Fu Hua stepped before leaving her presence.


    Jia Li gaggled her mouth with the water from the stic bottle several times before stepping out of the restroom.


    Taking the remaining bottle of water from her, Fu Hua passed her another handkerchief and asked, "Why are you throwing up?"


    "I didn''t like the smell of the eggs." Jia Li replied.


    "Go to the room, I will bring you breakfast." Fu Hua said to her because he knew there was no way she could return to the dining room. After all, she would end up throwing up again.


    "What about the family?" Jia Li asked in concern. She knew the way she left would arouse suspicion, so she was worried.


    "Do you have to care about that right now? Go to the room, I will be there in 5 minutes." Fu Hua said to her.

 Chapter 165 - The Family Find Out About Jia Lis Pregnancy

    <h4>Chapter 165 - The Family Find Out About Jia Li''s Pregnancy</h4>


    After he watched her leave, Fu Hua went back to the dining room to get her breakfast.


    "What''s wrong with Jia Li, is she alright?" Grandfather Fu asked with a worried gaze as soon as he saw Fu Hua.


    "She''s fine, she is just a little sick." Fu Hua replied as removed the trace of the egg from Jia Li''s te and put more food for her.


    While doing that, someone had her gaze on him.


    "Sick? Should we call the doctor over?" Grandfather asked as he became rmed. How could his favorite person be sick and he would remain rxed? That was not possible.


    "She will be fine after she rests a little." Fu Hua replied.


    "Fu Hua, why are you removing the eggs? They are healthy, and Jia Li should have some of them." Fu ChunHua suggested whilst trying to test the waters at the same time.


    Fu Hua picked up the te of food and started walking while replying, "She doesn''t need them."


    Before Fu Hua could disappear from their sight, Fu ChunHua quickly raised the question in her mind.


    "Is Jia Li pregnant?"


    That question was enough to cause silence for several seconds. It had some people having different thoughts.


    Grandfather Fu was deeply surprised by the question and nced at Fu ChunHua before gazing back at Fu Hua for an answer.


    When Fu ChunHua asked that question, Fu Hee nearly spurted the food she just put in her mouth. She quickly nced towards Fu Hua to hear his response.


    Fu Hua stopped in his steps when he heard Fu ChunHua''s question.


    ''Jia Li I''m sorry...'' Fu Hua apologized to Jia Li in his mind before walking away without replying to Fu ChunHua''s question.


    Fi ChunHua was intelligent enough to get the message. Fu Hua didn''t agree nor deny her words. And knowing Fu Hua''s personality, she was sure she was right because he would have denied it if it wasn''t true.


    "Congrattions to you and Jia Li!" Fu ChunHua said towards the direction Fu Hua left from. Retracting her gaze, she nced at the shocked Fu Hee with a smile.


    "Fu Hee, your daughter-inw is pregnant, are you not happy?" Fu ChunHua asked with a taunting gaze.


    Fu Hee was still shocked by the news she just heard and couldn''t be bothered by her words.


    Grandfather Fu was surprised and quickly asked with his gaze on Fu ChunHua, "Is Jia Li really pregnant?"


    "It''s very likely that she is pregnant since Fu Hua did not deny it. But we will have to wait to confirm this good news from them." Fu ChunHua replied happily.


    She was all smiles as if she was Jia Li''s mother or Jia Li''s mother-inw. She just couldn''t help smiling from ear to ear.


    It might be because she knew Fu Hee wouldn''t be happy with this piece of good news that she was so happy.


    "Why did that boy not reply to us and just left like that leaving us to our spection?" Grandfather Fu asked with a frown, but deep down in his heart, he was very excited.


    Grandfather Fu was annoyed with Fu Hua''s attitude. Such an important matter and he didn''t bother to rify it, was he trying to give him a heart attack?


    Fu Hee could feel that her chest was in so much pain. She couldn''t even continue with her food as she had to ce her palm on her chest while trying to endure the pain.


    Both Grandfather Fu and Fu Hee lost their appetite and were no longer interested in eating. But they had different reasons.


    Grandfather Fu was excited about the fact that he may have a great-grandchild from Jia Li and Fu Hua, so he lost appetite because of the happiness. As for Fu Hee, she was terrified of the news and wished it was false.


    She couldn''t believe that Jia Li and her son had already consumed their marriage, and coupled with the fact that her ns kept getting ruined.


    ''That seductress!'' Fu Hee cursed under her breath.


    She was at the point where she wouldn''t care what happens to her as long as she gets the opportunity to shred Jia Li to pieces.


    Still, under excitement, Grandfather Fu said to the rest of the family at the dining table, "If this news is through, then everybody will get a gift from me."


    His words were enough to cause thrills in the hearts of everyone apart from Fu Hee who was not even following.


    Fu Ling who was usually quiet nced at his grandfather with expectations. He has his dreams, and he needed just a little push for things to be on track, and this opportunity was very important to him.


    With her grandfather''s promise, Fu Meixu was already thinking of what her request would be, and that was to snatch the role that has already been given to, Zhi Ruo for the same movie she wanted to audition to get a supporting role.


    After giving his promise, Grandfather called for Butler Lu impatiently. He wanted to go and verify the news of Jia Li''s pregnancy directly from Fu Hua.


    When Butler Lu came over, Grandfather Fu said to him, "We are going to see Fu Hua and Jia Li."


    Butler Lu nodded and stood at the side while waiting for him to get up before they left together.


    With Grandfather Fu''s absence, everyone was let loose. They could say anything they wanted and act however they wanted.


    Fu Lei and Fu Ming were absent because of the engagements they have outside the city, so the cage was open.


    Fu ChunHua smiled as she turned to Fu Hee to say, "Fu Hee, why are you acting like this is bad news? If it is confirmed that your daughter-inw is pregnant, this would be great news! Look at you, you''re so lucky to be a grandmother at this age, I really envy you."


    "Lucky my foot!" Fu He''s said angrily.


    Fu ChunHua chuckled in her heart as she couldn''t wait to anger Fu Hee, seeing her so angry. With a smile, she said, "See, Father has already promised to give us a gift, what would you be asking for?"


    Then with a shocked facial expression, Fu ChunHua added, "Don''t tell me you will request Father to allow Fu Hua get married to the girl you approved as a second wife?"

 Chapter 166 - Grandfather Fu Goes To Find Jia Li And Fu Hua

    <h4>Chapter 166 - Grandfather Fu Goes To Find Jia Li And Fu Hua</h4>


    With a shocked facial expression, Fu ChunHua added, "Don''t tell me you will request Father to allow Fu Hua to get married to the girl you approved as a second wife?"


    Fu Hee rolled her eyes at her, got up, and left the dining table.


    Fu ChunHua chuckled before going back to eating her food.


    When Fu Hua entered their bedroom, he saw Jia Li sitting on the bed with her back against the headrest. Her face didn''t look good.


    "I brought you breakfast." Fu Hua said as he brought the tray of food to her side.


    Jia Li nced at the tray of food before her and frowned, "I don''t want to eat."


    Putting his hands on his pockets, Fu Hua asked with a frown, "Why would you not want to eat something? You didn''t eat anything at the dining room."


    "I don''t feel like eating." Jia Li grumbled and looked away from him.


    Fu Hua sighed as he pinched the space between his brows. Why did he feel that Jia Li was acting spoiled on purpose?


    "What do want to eat, tell me, I will ask the kitchen to prepare it for you." Fu Hua asked.


    "I don''t want to eat." Jia Li insisted with her head turned to the side. She refused to look at him. And as she said that, her stomach growled.


    Fu Hua saw the stubborn look on her face and began to ask himself when Jia Li learned to be stubborn.


    "Why do you keep saying you don''t want to eat when you''re obviously hungry? Do you want to starve my child?" Fu Hua asked with a frown.


    Jia Li nced at him, as this was the first time he was personalizing that the child was his.


    Before any of them could say anything, they heard a knock on the door and the old man''s voice followed next.


    "Fu Hua? Jia Li, are you there? Open the door quickly!" Grandfather Fu said from outside the door.


    When Butler Lu knocked without saying anything, Grandfather Fu became impatient and had to call out to Jia Li and Fu Hua.


    "Grandfather is here?" Jia Li asked in surprise as she gazed at Fu Hua.


    Fu Hua could feel an iing headache.? He shut his eyes and open them the next moment as the knocks continued resounding on the door.


    "The old man is worried about you, at least now that he knows you''re pregnant, get ready to be turned into a princess." Fu Hua replied.


    Jia Li''s eyeballs widened in shock before she ced a ming look on Fu Hua.


    She med him because she thought he was the one that revealed the news about her pregnancy to the old man.


    "Don''t me me, me your Aunty, ChunHua." Fu Hua replied before striding towards the door.


    As the door opened, Grandfather Fu was already so impatient as he asked, "What took you so long?"


    "Didn''t youe to see your granddaughter-inw?"? Fu Hua asked with one hand in his pocket and the other hand holding the door handle.


    At his reminder, Grandfather Fu walked in without sparing another nce. Butler Lu nodded to Fu Hua before following after Grandfather Fu.


    Fu Hua closed the door and joined them.


    Jia Li was already standing when Grandfather Fu walked into the room.


    "Grandfather?" Jia Li called out in a soft tone.


    "Why are you standing? Sit..." Grandfather Fu said to Jia Li happily and even went to assist her to sit down.


    Butler Lu brought a chair for the old man to sit close to the bed.


    Grandfather Fu sat down and took Jia Li''s hands in his and said to her with a smile, "Why didn''t you tell me you were pregnant? If you told me soon, you wouldn''t have had to suffer from doing the chores yourself, and Fu Hua didn''t say anything to me."


    "I''m fine, grandfather." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    "How can it be fine? You suffered for so long and I didn''t know about it. You don''t know this, but when Fu Hua''s grandmother was first pregnant, I didn''t allow her to do anything apart from eating, sleeping, and having fun. The only thing she begged for my permission, was to continue with work in FJ, but I still monitored her because she was a workaholic. She dedicated her life to her family and FJ."


    Jia Li didn''t know the reason she felt so happy listening to the Old man. She felt the old man was sweet and must have been a very good husband to his wife.


    After telling his story, he turned to Fu Hua who has been standing at the side and listening to him reminisce to berate him.


    "What kind of person did I train you up to be? How could you allow your wife to struggle while being pregnant?"


    As Fu Hua remained calm andposed, Jia Li came to his rescue.


    "Grandfather it''s not like that. He doesn''t let me cook every time, and when we moved out, I didn''t do anything. He moved all of our things over to the new house before I could return from school."


    "Are you sure? Don''t side him." Grandfather Fu said to Jia Li with a serious facial expression.


    "Grandfather, I''m telling the truth." Jia Li assured him with a smile.


    "I will believe you," Grandfather Fu said to her before turning to Fu Hua to say, "You are lucky that Jia Li is such a good person. Make sure you continue to take good care of her."


    Grandfather Fu didn''t wait for his response and started talking with Jia Li.


    Fu Hua''s phone rang and he walked to another corner of the room to answer the call.


    "What is it?" He asked with a frown.


    Grandfather Fu heard him clearly and turned to say to Jia Li, "What kind of Boss talks to his employees in that manner?"


    ''I think only he is capable of that.'' Jia Li thought to herself.


    After listening for a while, Fu Hua replied, "Don''t call me again, I will be there in 30 minutes."

 Chapter 167 - Drag Her Out

    <h4>Chapter 167 - Drag Her Out</h4>


    After the call, Fu Hua walked back to Jia Li and Grandfather Fu''s side.


    "Grandfather, I have to leave now."


    "You want to leave your pregnant wife here and go where?" Grandfather Fu asked as he directed a frowning gaze towards Fu Hua.


    Fu Hua was thinking that there was nothing wrong with that. Jia Li was pregnant, but he didn''t have to leave his work to stay at home with her.


    "I have an emergency meeting at work. One of our Top Designers got poached by a rivalpany, and she left with some unfinished design drafts." Fu Hua exined.


    One of FJ Styles'' top designers got poached by a rivalpany, and she left with unfinished drafts she was asked to work on, so this was not good news to Fu Hua.


    Grandfather Fu nced at his grandson and wanted to console him, but seeing that unfazed look, he had no words of constion left.


    Grandfather Fu agreed for Fu Hua to leave since the meeting was very important.


    Fu Hua nced at Jia Li before walking towards the inner room. When he disappeared, Grandfather Fu said to Jia Li, "Girl, I see your breakfast has been sent to you, eat something. If you don''t like it, tell the kitchen whatever you want to eat. If you don''t like their cooking, I will take you to a ce to get delicious food."


    "Grandfather, I like the food here, I will eat now. If there is anything, I will surely tell you." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    "That''s good. Eat, I will go and arranged one of the best obstetricians for you." Grandfather Fu said as he patted Jia Li''s hand and stood up.


    "Thank you, Grandfather." Jia Li said with an appreciative smile.


    Grandfather smiled and waved his hand. "There is nothing to thank me for. This old man has nothing to do other than to be on the lookout for you. Rest well, I wille around to see you again."


    After Butler Lu left with Grandfather Fu, another person came to visit.


    Fu Meixu met her grandfather in the hallway.


    "Are you going to see Jia Li?" Grandfather asked with his gaze on Fu Meixu.


    "Yes, Grandfather." Fu Meixu replied with a smile.


    "Don''t go over, allow Jia Li to eat and rest." Grandfather Fu rejected the idea of her going to see Jia Li.


    Fu Meixu did not cry or whine, instead, she clung onto the old man''s arm and said with a sweet smile, "Grandfather, I just want to see Jia Li for a few minutes to apologize for taking her out yesterday without knowing she was pregnant."


    Grandfather Fu stared at her for a few seconds before giving his approval.


    "Go and apologize but make sure youe out before 5 minutes is up."


    Turning to Butler Lu, Grandfather Fu instructed while pointing, "Lu, if she stays more than 5 minutes, drag her out, nobody can disturb Jia Li."


    "Yes, Sir." Butler Lu replied as he tried to hide his smile after watching the old man''s stubborn look.


    "Grandfather don''t worry, I won''t take long." After saying that, Fu Meixu hurriedly left his side.


    Fu Meixu knocked and walked into Jia Li and Fu Hua''s bedroom after hearing Jia Li''s response.


    "Jia Li, how are you doing?" Fu Meixu asked as she walked towards the bed with a smile.


    "I''m fine." Jia Li replied.


    "I''m sorry about yesterday, I didn''t know you were pregnant or I wouldn''t have forced you to follow me to that kind of ce." Fu Meixu apologized after she sat on the chair Jia Li pointed out to her.


    "Sister Meixu, it''s not your fault. It was I who didn''t tell you about it." Jia Li said to her.


    "How is the baby? No wonder my cousin threatened me the other day. He asked me to take care of you, so it''s because of the baby..." Fu Meixu said as she recalled the incident of the previous day.


    She kept wondering if Jia Li was an egg that had to be pampered by her grandfather and cousin. And Fu Hua''s attitude yesterday, was off to her, but it was not that she finally understood the point.


    Jia Li didn''t have the time to reply to her, because they both saw Fu Hua walkout from the inner room with some files.


    When he saw Fu Meixu in his bedroom, he stopped in his steps as a deep frown appeared on his face.


    Fu Meixu swallowed hard. Her cousin''s facial expressions were top-notch. For now, since she couldn''t stand it, she had to always escape, just like right now...


    "Jia Li, I will see you soon, I have to leave for my agency now." Said Fu Meixu to Jia Li before disappearing.


    When Fu Meixu left, Fu Hua retracted his gaze before turning back to Jia Li, "You''re still not eating? Just now, I heard your voice, and you seemed so happy."


    "I don''t want to eat." Jia Li replied as she faced another direction.


    "You have really learned to throw a tantrum. Is this who you really are, or is it the pregnancy hormones?" Fu Hua asked.


    He was a little confused because the Jia Li he married was so sweet, obedient, and innocent, but he didn''t understand the woman that was currently throwing a tantrum.


    He was thinking if she had two personalities.


    Jia Li did not reply to him.


    "I''m leaving for work, I have an emergency meeting, make sure you eat."


    As Fu Hua said that, another knock was heard on the door, and this time around, he couldn''t hide his annoyance.


    Fu ChunHua was standing outside the door with a smile while waiting to hear a voice from inside.


    "Jia Li, go and get dressed, you''reing with me." Fu Hua said with a frown.


    "Huh!" Jia Li was surprised ???? ????


    "Do you need me to help you dress?" Fu Hua asked with raised brows.


    Hearing him say that and knowing his personality, Jia Li knew it wouldn''t take him anything to do as he said. Being aware of that fact, Jia Li got out of bed immediately and went into the inner room.

 Chapter 168 - Im Taking Jia Li With Me

    <h4>Chapter 168 - I''m Taking Jia Li With Me</h4>


    Fu Hua opened the door and blocked Fu ChunHua''s view.


    When Fu ChunHua saw him instead of Jia Li, her smile faltered.


    "You don''t want to see me?" Fu Hua asked with a frown.


    "It''s not like that, I came to see Jia Li and was surprised to see you, I thought you had gone to work." Fu ChunHua said as she chuckled embarrassingly.


    "Jia Li is busy now." Fu Hua replied with folded arms.


    "Ah! Alright, I wille backter." Fu ChunHua said before leaving.


    Fu Hua walked back into the room and closed the door behind him. He went to sit on the couch to wait for Jia Li.


    Jia Li came out two minutester. She was fast because she knew he was runningte for the meeting.


    Honestly, she was quite surprised when he asked her toe with her to the office, becausest she remembered, he didn''t want anyone to know the rtionship between them. But since he asked her to follow him, she didn''t want to think to much about it.


    Fu Hua nced her up and down before telling her, "It will snow today, I will be right back" and with that, he went into the inner room and came back a minuteter.


    He passed the muffler and pair of gloves to Jia Li while saying, "Put them on."


    "Thank you!" Jia Li said as she put the gloves on before hanging the muffler around her neck.


    Fu Hua helped her to adjust it before asking, "Ready?" Jia Li picked up her phone and said, "Ready."


    Fu Hua nced at the tray of food she left on the table and Jia Li followed his sight. When she saw the tray of food, she smiled and went over to carry it.


    They both left the room together. A servant they encountered at the stairs, took the tray from Jia Li, and she sighed in relief.


    As they were about stepping out of the doors, they met Butler Lu, who was surprised to see them leaving together.


    "I''m taking Jia Li with me." Fu Hua answered his curiosity before pulling Jia Li to leave the house.


    On their way to FJ Styles, the car was silent until Jia Li''s stomach groaned.


    She quickly ced her hands on her abdomen as she nced towards Fu Hua who red at her and put his sight back on the road without saying anything to her.


    Jia Li shrank back in her seat and tried to remain invisible. She prayed silently in her head for her stomach not to make noise again, because it was so embarrassing.


    She refused to eat, and she made Fu Hua bring her out, and now, what was her stomach trying to do by making noise? Did it want her to get in trouble?


    After managing to control her stomach, Jia Li turned her gaze to the environment and saw the bold letters of FJ Styles.


    That name stood majestically as it was boldly written with glittering gold letters.


    Jia Li''s interest was intrigued when she felt the majestic presence of FJ. A small smile yed on her lips since it was her first time here. She was grateful to Fu Hua for bringing her here.


    While admiring the building, the thought of working there came to her mind. As she was lost in thought, she felt something before her eyes and focused on it.


    "Put them on." Fu Hua said after he parked the car in front of the building.


    Jia Li took the nose mask and sun shades from Fu Hua and put them on.


    There was no sun yet, but Jia Li understood those things he gave to her were for disguise, so she wouldn''t be recognized by the employees of FJ.


    "Let me see." Fu Hua said as he turned her face to have a proper look.


    "Not bad." He said before stepping out of the car.


    Jia Li was wondering if her looks mattered. Just as she got out of the car, She saw a young man running towards them.


    "Boss you are here?" Zimo greeted breathlessly.


    Because he was in a hurry, he failed to notice Jia Li who was all covered up.


    Fu Hua gave him a cold nce before going to Jia Li''s side.


    "Let''s go." He said as he took her hand and led the way.


    Zimo was taken aback by the woman their Cold CEO acted so intimate with. And he was surprised he didn''t see her when he came over.


    As he followed them inside the building, a thought came to his mind.


    ''Could she be his Hidden Wife?''


    Jia Li may not be aware she was tagged ''The Hidden wife'' by the employees and staff of FJ, and not only them. Those who didn''t know her identity called her ''The Hidden Wife'' as well.


    Seeing the way his boss held onto Jia Li, Zimo confirmed that he had indeed neglected the bossdy.


    ''Was that the reason Boss was unhappy with me just now?'' Zimo thought and cried inside his heart.


    How was he supposed to know she was the Bossdy?


    The Secretaries at the front desk immediately bowed to Fu Hua in greeting. When they raised their heads, the three of them exchanged nces as they began to wonder who the woman their boss was holding hand with was.


    As they passed some employees, Jia Li could feel their curious gazes and nces directed towards her. This is what happens when you are with the Big Boss.


    This was nothing to Fu Hua because his thought was on how to settle Jia Li in and go for his meeting.


    Zimo hurriedly caught up with them and pressed the button for the public elevator Fu Hua wanted to use.


    He wanted to remind him that he still has a private elevator, but he shut his mouth when he remembered the offense hemitted some minutes ago.


    While in the elevator, different thoughts kepting to Jia Li''s mind as her heart rate increased.


    Now, she has an idea of what it feels like to be the center of attention.


    ncing at Fu Hua, Jia Li understood what it feels like to be involved with a big shot.

 Chapter 169 - Brotherinlaw Sets Her Heart At Ease

    <h4>Chapter 169 - Brotheriw Sets Her Heart At Ease</h4>


    "What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" Fu Hua asked when he caught Jia Li''s gaze on him.


    Jia Li shook her head in a negative affirmation and looked away from him.


    Zimo who was standing behind them saw their interaction.


    ''Why do I feel like she is Boss''s little kitten and not his wife? Am I thinking too much?'' Zimo thought.


    When the elevator got to the 5th floor, Fu Hua took Jia Li''s hand and got out of it. He looked at his surroundings with a little confusion before turning back to ask his assistant, "Where are we?"


    Zimo cleared his throat and replied while pointing with his fingers. "Boss we took the wrong elevator, this way leads to the meeting room, this way leads to your office."


    Fu Hua red at him and Zimo screamed in his head. ''Boss, it''s not my fault that you chose the wrong elevator.''


    "What are you doing? Lead the Way!" Fu Hua said in an annoyed tone.


    With his actions, Jia Ki knew they were at the wrong ce, and she was thinking if Fu Hua as the Big Boss of FJ didn''t know his way around hispany, then that was weird.


    As Zimo was leading them through the hallway, they came face to face with some employees that were walking towards the meeting room.


    They recognized their Big Boss and Zimo, but the woman their Big Boss was holding her hand, was a mystery to them as they didn''t know her identity, and with her face all covered up, there was no way to see what she looked like.


    ''Could this be, ''The Hidden Wife?''" The thought and they stood at a ce with curiosity in their eyes.


    Fu Hua was angry at them and sent them a re as he asked in his usual cold tone, "Are you tired of living?"


    His employees apologized and ran towards the meeting room in fear.


    Even Jia Li shuddered at his harsh tone. Fu Hua nced at her, as Jia Li instinctively ced her other hand on her abdomen.


    Fu Hua nced at her abdomen and remembered the baby. He felt a little guilty. He didn''t wait to see where his employees ran to as he followed Zimo.


    Zimo led the way to his office obediently. He was scared he wouldsh out at him since didn''t dare to make a sound.


    When they got outside his office, Fu Hua asked Zimo to leave before keying in his password.


    The door opened and he turned to tell Jia Lie in.


    Jia Li followed him. As she walked in, the remarkable sight of Fu Hua''s office greeted her. The view was amazing and her respect for Fu Hua leveled up.


    Fu Hua was a man of great taste in style and fashion. He has the money, so he could get whatever he wanted.


    "Sit anywhere you like." Fu Hua said to Jia Li as he walked straight to his table took a tablet from it. He walked back to the couch Jia Li was sitting on and passed it to her.


    "Select what you want to eat, YingPei will be here to help you take your order." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li smiled that she didn''t have to worry about her hunger. She took the tablet from him as thanked him.


    Fu Hua dialed his brother''s number and asked him toe over to take Jia Li''s food order.


    After the call, Fu Hua nced at his wristwatch and said to Jia Li, "I''m leaving. You can keep yourselfpany with the tablet or the magazines, articles, or books on the shelf."


    Jia Li watched him leave and sighed. She was grateful that he still cared for her. Before she thought his attitude has changed towards her, but now, she has confirmed that he still cared for her.


    After the call, Fu YingPei left his work and took the elevator straight to the 5th floor, and went directly to Fu Hua''s office.


    He knew the passwords so it was easy for him to get in.


    Fu YingPei walked into the office and saw that Fu Hua has already left and sighed in relief. He nced over at Jia Li who still had the disguise on and smiled as he made his way towards her.


    "Sister-inw, rx nobody will dare toe in here, you can take off the mask and shade."


    Fu YingPei was confident because there were only three people that knew the password to the office, Him, Zimo, and the owner (Fu Hua).


    Jia Li rxed and took off the disguise. She sighed now that she could breathe properly. Without her brother-inw''s reminder, she would have forgotten about it.


    "Thank you!" She said in gratitude.


    "No worries. What would you like to eat?" Fu YingPei asked with a kind smile.


    Jia Li passed the tablet to him. Fu YingPei saved her food order on his phone and passed the tablet to her.


    "Sister-inw, I will be back soon." Fu YingPei said before leaving.


    While he was away, Jia Li busied herself with the tablet. She was ncing through various clothing illustrations on the tab''s gallery.


    Fu YingPei came back 10 minutester and even helped her to serve the food. Jia Li was embarrassed, but Fu YingPei set her heart at ease.


    "If I don''t take care of you, my brother will make me go on extinct."


    Jia Li chuckled over the joke. She has always known that he had a good sense of humor.


    After he left, Jia Li started eating, while Fu Hua was currently sitting at the head of the meeting table.


    He has been quiet since the meeting started and refused to say a word. He allowed everyone present to make their contribution.


    He was not happy that his top designer could be easily poached.


    When the argument was getting louder, he said to them, "Enough! What''s the use of arguing when it can''t change what has happened? There is something wrong with the rules and regtions. I will amend it with the executivemittee. I want to see which FJ Styles'' employee would still dare to get poached and breach the contract."


    Fu Hua''s time was heavy and nobody dared to say a word.


    "As for that designer, get thepensation for breaching the contract."

 Chapter 170 - A Glimpse Of Fu Huas Work Life

    <h4>Chapter 170 - A Glimpse Of Fu Hua''s Work Life</h4>


    "As for that designer, get thepensation for breaching the contract."


    The truth is that the designer that left with the unfinished design drafts could not be arrested, since the Chief designer never saw them. What she had was the assurance that the designs were almost finished.


    After this meeting, Fu Hua called for an executive meeting with the executivemittee to make some adjustments to the rules and regtions and the employee''s contracts.


    He updated the ethical principles in the contract of the business. He drafted, ''Themitment by the FJ Styles'' executivemittee'' in which the 10 executive members of FJ, put down their signatures before their names.


    After adjusting whatever needs to be adjusted, Fu Hua said to the head of departments, "Make sure all the employees of FJ, sign these contracts, You can as well remind them to go through the contracts before signing."


    Fu Hua tightened up the loose threads and closed the loopholes that could be used by any employee of FJ to mess around.


    He doubled the fine that was written on the contract. The old price was already high enough, and by doubling it, anyone that wanted to mess around wouldn''t have to think about it, because the price of betrayal was worth so much.


    What was more shocking was the jail term Fu Hua added to the punishment of betraying FJ.


    With Fu Hua tightening the reigns, there was no opportunity or chance to think of messing up.


    The Chief Designer of FJ Styles called for a meeting in her department to address an issue.


    "You all are FJ''s employees and under the contract, whatever you draw, be it trash, finished drafts, or unfinished drafts belongs to FJ. And you are not to go home with any design drafts from here."


    After the long hours of meeting, Fu Hua finally returned to his office. His facial expression was not to be trifled with.


    When Jia Li saw his facial expression as he walked towards his table, she didn''t even bother greeting him. She quietly went back to reading the magazine in her hands.


    Fu Hua sat down and nced at Jia Li who had all her concentration on the magazine in her hands. He massaged his temples before opening theptop on his table.


    Fu Hua was busy until it was lunchtime.


    "Are you hungry?" He asked as he nced over at Jia Li, but he didn''t receive any response because the person he was talking to, was already asleep.


    Jia Li''s eyes were closed with her head rest in on the armrest of the coach. The magazine in her hand slipped out of her hand and crashed on the floor.


    Fu Hua was surprised that she was already asleep because he didn''t know he has worked for such a long time.


    He forgot the three different meetings that were heldsted for over 4 hours, and when he came back to his office, he had been working for more than 2 hours, so it shouldn''t be a surprise that Jia Li got bored and fell asleep.


    Fu Hua heaved a sigh as he got up and walked to her side. He took the magazine from the couch and arranged them before cing them on the ss table.


    Next, he took off Jia Li''s boot shoes ???? before putting her legs on the couch.


    He walked towards another door inside his office and opened it. He walked in and came out a few secondster with what looked like a small nket and covered Jia Li''s body with it.


    He touched Jia Li''s palms to check her body temperature, before slipping her hands inside the nket.


    When he returned to his seat, he picked up the telephone and gave out an instruction. "Bring two portions of lunch to my office."


    Twenty minutester, Zimo arrived with the lunch and set them on the table. His eyes traveled to the woman sleeping innocently on the couch. Her face was so smooth, and he could tell she was pretty.


    ''Is this what the Bossdy looks like?'' Zimo thought as he slowly adjusted his neck to get a good look at Jia Li''s face.


    He couldn''t really see her well because of his standing position, so tilting his head a little more will help him catch her looks.


    Fu Hua saw Zimo''s actions and picked up a light fancy decor from his table and threw it at his back.


    Zimo came back to his senses as he turned to nce at his Boss with a guilty look, when he saw Fu Hua''s angry look, he apologized and picked up the decor before walking towards his desk to set it up.


    After that, Zimo vanished from the room. Atst, when he came out, his brows creased in a frown as he tried to reach the area of his back Fu Hua hit with the fancy decor.


    Zimo felt that Fu Hua was stingy for hiding thedy boss''s appearance from all of them in the office. Zimo could only think so but dared not to voice his thoughts.


    After he left, Fu Hua went to where the food was ced and opened the tes. And in no time Jia Li opened her eyes when she perceived the aroma from the food.


    She was just dreaming about the different food she saw in her dream when her stomach started aching. She perceived the aroma of food and it felt so real that she had to open her eyes.


    "Sit up and have lunch, we will leave after that." Fu Hua said to her as he passed a pair of chopsticks ???? to her.


    Jia Li took it from him and started to eat from the te he ced within her reach. Fu Hua didn''t eat much before going back to his desk to continue working.


    When Jia Li saw him go back to his desk, she had a confused facial look ???? ''Didn''t he say we would leave after eating?''


    When Jia Li finished eating, Fu Hua called Zimo toe and take the tes away before packing his things and leaving with Jia Li, who already had her disguise on.


    Today, Jia Li caught the glimpse of Fu Hua''s work life. She saw how busy he always was, and how hard he worked, and his rank went higher in her head.

 Chapter 171 - End Relations With Her

    <h4>Chapter 171 - End Rtions With Her</h4>


    While Jia Li had a rxing and somewhat boring day, Fu Hee had it far worse.


    Since she learned that Jia Li was pregnant, her mind has not been at ease. She was so angry that she became breathless.


    She wanted to break the things in her room to release her anger, but when she realized that she would have to rece them with her money, she refrained from doing it.


    The things she wanted to break were not cheap, so there was no need to make a hole in her pocket.


    Fu Hee sat on the bed to do her breathing exercises, and when she was through, she picked up her phone to call Mrs. Bai.


    On the third ring, the call was answered.


    "Fu Hee, do you want toe out for some tea?" Bai Fen asked as she blew on her fingernails. She was currently in the salon and her toenails were being painted now.


    "I''m not in the mood for that. There is a big problem before us." Fu Hee revealed with an ugly facial expression.


    Hearing there was trouble and with Fu Hee''s angry tone, Bai Fen knew that things were serious and stopped joking and asked, "What could be wrong? What happened?"


    "That girl is pregnant." Fu Hee revealed.


    "Which girl, you mean your daughter-inw?" Bai Fen asked with a frown as she felt a bad premonition.


    "Which other person would put me in a bad mood?" Fu Hee asked in an annoyed tone.


    "What? How could you let that happen? Fu Hee did you go back on your promise, how could you not keep watch on that girl?!" Bai Fen asked in an agitated tone.


    This was the worst news ever. Jia Li was pregnant, was their n not over?


    "How is it my fault when the two of them are not living under the same roof as me, and I was not even allowed to visit them." Fu Hee asked angrily. She couldn''t help but be angry at Bai Fen for ming her.


    "If it''s not your fault, is it my fault then? Are you trying to ruin the only chance my daughter has for making aeback with your son? You don''t care anymore because it was not your daughter''s heart that was broken right?" Bai Fen asked as she kicked the person attending to her toenails.


    She was very angry and curse Fu Hee for being irresponsible. How could she not put her eyes on such an important matter?


    Fu Hee had already had it up to her neck. She couldn''t tolerate Bai Fen''s insults and mes, so she said to her directly without hiding her thoughts and emotions...


    "Bai Fen don''t me or insult me, you have no right to do that. Go ahead and find another son-inw for yourself and leave me alone. I have already lost a lot from fighting for your daughter and you still have to me me for everything. Fine, it was my mistake that I asked for us to set our children up. Since I wasted a good opportunity to have you get the perfect husband for your daughter, I willpensate you. Tell me how much you want!"


    After passing the message across, Fu Hee terminated the call and threw her phone on the bed. She was huffing mad.


    "Bai Fen who do you think you are? Always insulting and ming me for everything! Did I kill any member of your family?" Fu Hee muttered to herself in anger.


    With everything that was happening Fu Hee was fed up with Bai Fen''s attitude towards her, and didn''t mind the amount of money it will take to settle the matter, so nothing would make them cross paths again.


    Bai Fen was rmed when she heard Fu Hee say that she wanted to end rtions with her. Fear gripped her chest. And before she could say anything, Fu Hee ended the call without waiting to hear her response.


    Bai Fen couldn''t allow her hard work and expectations to go down the drain. She has toe this far, so she couldn''t give up now.


    She tried calling Fu Hee''s number, but it was not reachable.


    ''Did she block my contact?'' Bai Fen thought to herself as she tried Fu Hee''s number again, but the result remained the same.


    "Paint this thing quickly, I need to leave here!" Bai Fen said to the person she kicked earlier. The young attendant sat on her stool and continued painting her nails.


    When Bai Fen thought of the opportunities she would lose if Fu Hee cut off all ties with her, the more she couldn''t let that happen.


    Later in the day when Fu Hee finally came out from her room, she was in time to see Jia Li and Fu Huaing into the house.


    She didn''t even say anything to any of them and directly walked past them. Fu Hua who wanted to greet her was surprised by her attitude.


    He wondered what was going on with her before resuming his steps with Jia Li.


    Jia Li was also surprised by her mother-inw''s attitude, not towards her, but Fu Hua.


    Fu Hee always said a few words to Fu Hua and left her out. But to her surprise today, she snubbed the row of them.


    Fu Hua didn''t dwell on the matter as he went into the inner room to change out of his clothes, but Jia Li was different. She was worried.


    ''Could it be because of the baby?'' Jia Li thought as she sat on the foot of the bed.


    When Fu Hua finished changing and came back to the room, he saw Jia Li sitting on the bed with a worried look.


    "Go and freshen up and don''t dwell on unnecessary matters."


    Fu Hee has been annoyed since she spoke with Bai Fen over the phone. She refused to say a word to anyone including Fu Hua.


    Fu Hee went to the kitchen directly to get a water bottle for herself. Fu ChunHua who was in the kitchen keeping an eye on the dinner preparation didn''t dare to say a word to her. She felt that Fu Hee was scary, as it wasn''t the right time to attack her with words.

 Chapter 172 - Fu Hee And Bai Fen Makes Peace

    <h4>Chapter 172 - Fu Hee And Bai Fen Makes Peace</h4>


    When Fu Hee left the kitchen with the bottle of water in her hand and went to her bedroom, she heard her phone ring and went to the bedside table to pick it up.


    She had a disinterested look on her face as she nced at the caller ID. On seeing Mrs. Bai''s name on her screen she became more emotionless and kept her phone back on the table and uncapped the water bottle she brought back with her as the call ended.


    Before she could finish drinking the water, her phone started to ring again. She finally put down the bottle of water and picked her phone to answer the call.


    "Thank goodness you answered the call, I would havee over to the Fu Vi to look for you. Fu Hee how could you be so angry with me to the extent of ignoring me?" Bai Fen asked immediately Fu Hee answered the call.


    But first of all, she sighed in relief that her call was answered after several attempts of trying to reach her.


    "Did you call to me me again?" Fu Hee asked in an annoyed tone.


    "How could I me you? I thought something happened to you." Bai Fen hurriedly denied that fact, because, from Fu Hee''s tone, thetter was still angry with her.


    "What can happen to me? I can''t trust anybody to bring me happiness and I discovered that I was better off on my own." Fu Hee replied as she sat on the couch in the bedroom and crossed her legs.


    "Fu Hee, how can you say that? I''m your very good friend. I''m sorry about the way I spoke to you earlier today. I was devastated. After breaking the news to me, I was annoyed and sad because I didn''t know how to break Jun''s heart again." Bai Fen exined in a tone that attracted pity on her.


    Fu Hee''s sighed and said, "I will forgive you but this shouldn''t happen again. I''m doing my best for all of us and it''s not easy. As for Bai Jun, she shouldn''t have to worry, I will think of something." Fu Hee said to her.


    She felt better after Bai Fen''s apology.


    Bai Fen, on the other hand, was very happy with the fact that her n worked. She couldn''t believe she only had to apologize to Fu Hee to ept their rtionship again.


    "Fu Hee, thank you so much for keeping your promise. If you need anything, tell me. I got a VVIP card ???? for a spa treatment, pick a date do we can visit there." Bai Fen said to her.


    "Really? Why are you treating me to a spa?" Fu Hee asked in a less concerned tone. She was ying hard to get.


    "We need to take care of our beautiful skin and keep it glowing." Bai Fen said in an alluring tone.


    "Okay, I will get back to you on the date. I have to go now, I have work to do." Fu Hee said to her.


    "Okay, bye-bye." Bai Fen said to her.


    Fu Hee didn''t return the greeting and ended the call directly. A smile appeared on her face as she kept her phone beside her.


    ''This is the way things should go!'' She thought to herself.


    She was happy she wasn''t the one apologizing. Now that things have changed, of course, she was happy about it.


    After the call, Bai Fen was not settled with Fu Hee''s response. She immediately contacted a branded jewelry store and ced an order for an expensive ne. She gave them the address to deliver the jewelry.


    Because Fu Vi was located in a private area with soldiers acting as their security, the jewelry store couldn''te into that ce without permission from any member of the family, so they had to call Fu Hee.


    Fu Hee was eating some fruits when she received the call. She was annoyed at first because she was wondering who the caller was. But after listening for a while, she smiled softly and sent someone to go and get the jewelry from them.


    Some minutester, the box was brought to Fu Hee who couldn''t wait to open it. When she opened the jewelry box and saw the expensive emerald green ne lying inside the box, she failed to hide her facial expression. She was very happy as she took out the jewelry and tried it on.


    She nced at herself in the mirror with the ne on. Her face was full of smiles when she saw how well it fitted her neck.


    Without wasting time, she packaged the jewelry and kept it away after admiring it, then she quickly put a call through to Bai Fen.


    "I saw the gift you gave to me. I liked it, thank you." Fu Hee said in a neutral tone. She didn''t want to act all excited because of some jewelry she could easily get from her circle of friends.


    Bai Fen understood that she was happy with the gift and didn''t bother with her attitude.


    After the call, Fu Hee was all smiles and even during dinner, she didn''t have the time to bother anybody.


    Seeing her so happy after a few hours of seething with rage, Fu ChunHua felt that Fu Hee was a hard nut to crack.


    The next day during breakfast, Fu Hee was still in a good mood. She picked up some radish and put it in Fu Hua and YingPei''s tes. Then ncing at Jia Li, she picked up some and put in her te while saying, "Take care of my grandchild."


    Everyone at the table was surprised by her actions as they had different thoughts going on in their head.


    They were thinking if Fu Hee was finally epting Jia Li, or if she was only interested in the child Jia Li was carrying.


    Grandfather Fu nced at Fu Hee after she put the radish in Jia Li''s te. He didn''t suspect it was poisoned, because he thought that Fu Hee wouldn''t dare to poison Jia Li in his presence.


    Fu Hua nced at the radish and continued eating, but only one person still had her gaze on the radish.


    Jia Li felt weird that her mother-inw who doesn''t like her had put some food on her te. She didn''t know what to feel, but she decided to eat it.


    Right, when she picked it up with her chopsticks ???? Fu ChunHua said to her...

 Chapter 173 - Fu Hee Tries To Harm The Child

    <h4>Chapter 173 - Fu Hee Tries To Harm The Child</h4>


    Right, when she picked it up with her chopsticks ???? Fu ChunHua said to her, "Hold on."


    All eyes were now on Fu ChunHua after she said it. She liked the attention she garnered, but there was something more important to take care of.


    Jia Li put her chopsticks ???? down and nced over at Fu ChunHua while wondering if there was something wrong with the radish.


    Fixing a smiling gaze on Fu Hee, Fu ChunHua said to her, "By giving Jia Li radish to eat, are you trying to harm her child?"


    After she voiced that question, everyone at the dining table nced between her and Fu Hee.


    Grandfather Fu could not tolerate the suspense especially after he heard about harming his great-grandchild. He urged Fu ChunHua to exin what she meant.


    "Fu Hee, don''t tell me you didn''t know radish is not good for pregnant women. Are you caring for your grandchild or are you trying to get rid of it?" Fu ChunHua asked.


    Feeling the terrifying gaze of Grandfather Fu and Fu Hua, Fu Hee hurriedly tried to exin. She red at Fu ChunHua and said,


    "What nonsense are you talking about? I was only caring about my grandchild. I have no idea of what you''re talking about, don''t try to use of me something I do not know about?"


    "Whether I''m using you of something or exposing your crimes, only you know very well about it." Fu ChunHua said not giving up on the matter.


    Grandfather Fu was very angry with Fu Hee. He would never believe that she was innocent of the usations. He knew she has never liked Jia Li, but to dare to cause harm to the child in his presence, he couldn''t tolerate that.


    "Fu Hee, you dare to harm Jia Li''s child even in my presence?!" Grandfather Fu asked in a heavy tone while directing an angry gaze at Fu Hee as he hit the table with his palms.


    "Father it''s a mistake, I don''t dare to harm my grandchild. You saw me, I also put the radish in Hua and YingPei''s tes!" Fu Hee denied the ims immediately as she cursed Fu ChunHua inwardly.


    "What if that was your way of disguising your n? You clearly wanted to harm Jia Li''s child but in order not to be suspected, you also put one of them in your sons'' tes." Fu ChunHua pointed out.


    Jia Li was so shocked that her mother-inw would go to the extent of trying to harm her child just because she didn''t like her.


    Fu Hua nced at her and used his chopstick to pick the radish before putting it on his te.


    When Jia Li thought he would eat the radish, he put his chopsticks down and got up from his seat before pulling her up from the chair.


    "We are going to the hospital!" He said while pulling her with him as they left the dining room together.


    Grandfather Fu''s facial expression turned worse.


    "Fu Hee, you dared to harm your son''s child because you don''t like his wife. Did you think about his feelings? From today onwards, don''t try to get close to Jia Li. And if anything happens to Jia Li or her child, whether you have a hand on it or not, I will take your head for it and bring your Fang family to an end!"


    Fu Hee came from the prestigious Fang family, so when she heard the old man''s threat of ruining her family, she shivered.


    Grandfather Fu left the dining table and so did others, leaving her to brood over her actions.


    Fu Hee regretted her actions. She felt that she was too careless to have acted so tantly. She med Bai Fen for bribing her with the jewelry and now she has entered another trouble.


    She didn''t even need to get close to Jia Li for her to be punished. Her other ns of using something else to harm Jia and the child have failed automatically.


    Grandfather Fu already warned her that she didn''t need to act directly because he would hold her responsible if anything happens to Jia Li or the child she was carrying.


    "So, am I supposed to pray for her wellbeing?" Fu Hee muttered to herself.


    Fu Hua took Jia Li straight to the hospital to get a checkup done. He was still angry with the fact that his mother just tried to harm his child, and he wouldn''t have stopped it if Fu ChunHua didn''t point out that radishes were not good for a pregnant woman.


    He med himself for being too careless.


    After the check-up was over, the doctor told them that everything was alright. Both mother and child were doing very well.


    They also got the baby''s scan after some tests were done on Jia Li.


    Fu Hua rxed a little and asked the doctor to list the foods pregnant women should avoid.


    The doctor smiled and wrote the food down while praising Fu Hua for being a caring husband.


    The doctor handed the list to him while telling him some things Jia Li had to avoid during her pregnancy and Jia Li listened attentively.


    Not only was Fu Hua the only person that felt guilty, Jia Li felt guilty for not knowing that some foods were harmful to the baby and mother during pregnancy.


    She promised to be careful and attentive.


    On their way back to the Fu house, the car was quiet until Fu Hua broke the silence.


    "Study the foods the doctor listed here, it''s very important. We can''t let today''s mistake repeat itself."


    Jia Li nodded as she nced at Fu Hua who still had a cold expression on his face. She guessed that he was still angry with what happened during breakfast and optioned to remain quiet.


    After today''s incident, Jia Li became more careful and observant and so as Fu Hua wouldn''t let a fly pass him by without checking it out.


    After Grandfather Fu left the dining table, he called Fu ChunHua over and scolded her for allowing radish to be included in their food. He scolded her because she gave that opportunity to Fu Hee.


    Fu ChunHua was scared the old man would punish her and immediately apologized.


    "If you don''t know your duty well, I will take the position away from you." Grandfather Fu threatened.


    Fu ChunHua apologized again and promised to be careful.


    Grandfather Fu let her off after asking her to make sure the kitchen doesn''t prepare anything Jia Li could not eat.

 Chapter 174 - [Bonus ] Fu Hua Makes A Report To His Father

    <h4>Chapter 174 - [Bonus ] Fu Hua Makes A Report To His Father</h4>


    After Fu Hua and Jia Li returned from the hospital and went into their bedroom, Fu Hua phoned his father to make a report.


    "Father, your wife tried to kill my unborn child during breakfast." Fu Hua said to his father through the phone, while Jia Li sat on the bed and listened.


    "I have a grandchild? Your mother tried to kill my grandchild?" Fu Lei asked in a cold tone. He sounded as if he was about to murder somebody.


    "Father, I called to tell about this, because I won''t promise to remain calm if mother goes out of line again." Fu Hua said in a cold tone.


    He was still very angry at his mother''s guts for trying to kill his child.


    "Hua, don''t leave the house yet, I will hand over my remaining work to my deputy ande home tomorrow. I apologize on your mother''s behalf." Fu Lei said in an emotionless tone.


    He was quite angry with his wife for trying to kill an unborn child of the Fu family. It has been a long time since he disciplined her and it looked like she has forgotten her ce.


    When she went to the Bai family to talk about marriage ns without his consent, he let her go without talking about it. But it looked like she didn''t know when to stop.


    He wasn''t fond of Jia Li but that did not mean that he had enmity against her and would try to harm her. Because of his profession, he wasn''t always around, he didn''t know how to interact with people.


    State the conversation with his father, Fu Hua went into the inner room. While sitting on the bed, Jia Li hoped there wouldn''t be a big problem because of her mother-inw''s act in the morning.


    She didn''t wish for a fight to break out because of her. She was already worried sick and didn''t want to remain in the Fu house. She wanted to go back to the house that belonged to her and Fu Hua to hide easily from all the troubles.


    **********************


    At Grandfather Fu''s request and to celebrate Jia Li''s pregnancy, the family members submitted their proposal to him.


    Grandfather was currently sitting in his study when Butler Lu walked in with white envelopes in his hand.


    He kept them on the desk and said, "Sir, these are the proposals you requested from the family."


    Grandfather Fu nced over at them before fixing his reading sses on his eyes. "Read them out to me."


    "Yes, Sir." Butler Lu replied and picked up the first envelope and brought out the letter there and began to read its content.


    "This one is a request from Miss Meixu. She wants the female lead role of ''The Filmmaker''."


    "She really knows what she wants. Keep her request aside, I shall grant them. After now, make some investigations and contact the necessary people to give the role to her." Grandfather Fu said as he waved his hand.


    Butler Lu kept the letter aside and said to himself how lucky Fu Meixu was. She didn''t need to work towards the audition, she only needed to sit at home and wait to be called to receive the contract for the role she wanted.


    Picking up the second envelope, Butler Lu read its content. "Grandfather, I want to take a break from work to rx in the Maldives this weekend. Please permit me and sponsor my trip."


    "Who is it from?" Grandfather Fu asked with creased brows immediately after Butler Lu finished reading it.


    Butler Lu cleared his throat and replied, "It''s from young master YingPei."


    "Thatzy boy! He wants to take a break just after a year of joining FJ? Throw his request away and quickly go to the next one." Grandfather Fu said with a frown.


    Butler Lu found Fu YingPei''s request absurd. He wanted tough because of the old man''s annoyance, but he abstained from it


    Moving over to the next proposal which was from Fu Ling, Butler Lu read it out. "Sir, young master Ling wants to open a gamepany and he needs your help with the funds."


    "How much?" Grandfather asked with interest. His grandson wanted to start apany, of course, he was very happy with it.


    "$200K. He promised to pay back with interest after hispany has stood firmly." Butler Lu added.


    "Give it to him, he doesn''t need to pay back." Grandfather Fu replied.


    The next request was from Fu ChunHua. She asked for the old man''s permission to allow her sister to visit after the new year''s festival.


    "Sir, everyone in Madam ChunHua''s family is troublesome, will you listen to her request?" Butler Lu asked.


    Fu ChunHua came from an average family and because of her family''s standard, they sought to be connected to the wealthy and people of great importance.


    Fu ChunHua was like that as well and that is why she hooked up with a man younger than her and found a way to be connected to him in marriage with her family supporting her from behind.


    For a member of Fu ChunHua''s family toe over, that would mean there was a possibility of the person causing trouble because of greed.


    "She wants her sister toe over for a visit? That''s fine but only on one condition. The rules I made will not be broken. I don''t want an outsider causing trouble in my family." Grandfather Fu said.


    He approved the request as long as Fu ChunHua would remember the rules and ask her sister not to cause trouble during her visit.


    "Are there any other requests?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    "No, Sir!" Butler Lu replied.


    "It''s okay, I will take care of the rest!" Grandfather Fu said.


    He wasn''t surprised that Jia Li and Fu Hua did not request anything, he already expected, so he nned to do something for them. As for his children, he would also take care of that.


    Grandfather Fu did not ask about Fu Hee because he didn''t care. Even if she had made a request, Grandfather would not have considered it. After all, she was ck-hearted and always went against him.

 Chapter 175 - Fu Leis Threat

    <h4>Chapter 175 - Fu Lei''s Threat</h4>


    The next day while grandfather Fu was still working on the promise he made for his family after breakfast, Fu Leie home, surprising everybody.


    His sudden visit surprised Grandfather Fu who didn''t get a message from him.


    Straight from the entrance, Fu Lei walked straight to his bedroom to find Fu Hee.


    Fu Hee was sitting in front of the mirror and applying a red lipstick ???? on her lips when someone opened the door and walked in.


    ncing up and seeing her husband who had disappeared for quite a long time, she looked surprised.


    She smiled and got up to get him. "You''re back? Howe you didn''t say anything beforeing back?." She asked as she gazed at him.


    "Do I now need your permission toe back to my house?." Fu Lei asked angrily.


    Fu Hee was surprised by his outburst and took some steps back. "Why are you getting angry when you have onlye back? I was only concerned that you didn''t say anything to me."


    "Do you still have the heart to be concerned about anybody apart from yourself?." Fu Lei asked while pointing fingers at her.


    "Fu Lei, did I offend you or something? Why are you so angry with me?." Fu Hee asked with a frown, as she didn''t understand the reason her husband who had been away for a long time, just came back and started to pour aggression on her.


    "Why are you so good at pretending? I heard you tried to harm a child of the Fu family, you really have guts now." Fu Lei said furiously while pointing to her face. He felt like hitting her, but he couldn''t bring himself to do that.


    Fu Hee was so scared when she heard him mention killing a child of the Fu family, and he looked as if he was about to hit her.


    "I didn''t do anything! Did father call you because of it? You know father is so biased when ites to matter concerning Jia Li. It was a mistake, I put radish on Jia Li''s te without knowing it wasn''t healthy for her in her current condition. I didn''t mean any harm." Fu Hee lied with a pleading gaze.


    She was very scared of her husband whenever he was angry.


    "Are you trying to lie to me? Do you think Hua will call me to use you of what you did not do? Do you take me for a fool? How can you not be aware of what food a pregnant woman should avoid?." Fu Lei asked as he took few steps towards her.


    Fu Hee was rmed and immediately took several steps back till her back hit the mirror stand. "Fu Lei can you not be so scary? Do you want to hit me?."


    "Are you still worried about yourself? You can not even show remorse for your actions! So you actually dared to harm a child of the Fu family, your son''s child, and our grandchild?." Fu Lei question as he stopped in his steps.


    Fu Hee knew that there was no point in lying anymore because Fu Lei was ready to hit her if she continued lying.


    Since they have been married, he has neverid his hands on her because he promised not to. But with the way things were going, it was very possible that he had forgotten about that promise, and will end up hitting her.


    Since things hade to this, Fu Hee decided toe out clean and apologize. She knelt and pleaded with Fu Lei.


    "Fu Lei, I''m so sorry about what happened, I don''t know what came over me, I promise it wouldn''t happen again!."


    "It wouldn''t happen again? Of course, you shouldn''t dare to think about harming Jia Li or the child she is carrying if you don''t want to go back to your family to stay forever." Fu Lei said to her.


    He was ready to divorce her and send her back to her family if she tries tomit any atrocity. He was tired of her madness. Since he couldn''t hit her, he would find a better way to give her heavy punishment.


    Hearing his threat, Fu Hee became more frightened. "Fu Lei, things haven''te to this. How can you think of sending me back to my family, do you eat me to beughed at and made fun of by my family?." Fu Hee asked as tears threatened to drop from her eyes.


    "If you have truly repented, you shouldn''t be worried about the punishment, but it looks like I have said so much to you and you failed to understand some things. Tomorrow, pack your things and go back to your Fang family." Fu Lei said to her in rage and then turned to leave, but Fu Hee immediately clutched his legs.


    "Fu Lei, you can''t do this to me, I was only asking a question, please don''t send me back to my father''s house!." Fu Hee cried as she hugged Fu Lei''s leg.


    "What are you doing? Let go of my leg!." Fu Lei said as he tried to release his leg from her grasp, but Fu Hee was holding unto it tightly. She was determined not to let go.


    "No!, Fu Lei, I''m sorry, I promise to change, please don''t do this to me! I... I promise to be good to Jia Li, I will not try to harm her child again!" Fu Hee pleaded as tears fell from the corner of her eyes.


    She knew her husband always meant his words. How can you go back to the Fang family after being married for such a long time? She will be a joke if she was sent packing.


    There was a lot ofpetition in the Fang family, and she was lucky that she managed to marry into the wealthiest family in the country, which was among the Top 15 in the world.


    Since she married into the Fu family and got the mistress position after her mother-inw died, she has been orded a lot of respect...

 Chapter 176 - Fu Hee Cries Her Heart Out

    <h4>Chapter 176 - Fu Hee Cries Her Heart Out</h4>


    Since she married into the Fu family and got the mistress position after her mother-inw died, she has been orded a lot of respect...


    In fact, thepetition in the Fang family was greater than that of the Su family (Fu ChunHua''s family).


    All the daughters in the Fang family all got married into wealthy families. And when Fu Hee was younger, she used to be bullied because her sisters and cousins were better in their studies and career than her.


    She was fortunate when she fell in love with Fu Lei and found out about his family background after speaking to him a few times.


    When Mr. Fang found about the true connection of Fu Lei to the Fu family, he had to make the marriage work and even met Grandfather Fu at that time.


    Since Fu Lei was okay with the marriage, Grandfather Fu epted it.


    And since Fu Hee got married to Fu Lei, she had been the apple of her father''s eyes, because of the numerous benefits she has brought to her family. And since then, she has been respected and nobody dares to look down on her.


    The best thing that happened to her was when she became the mistress of the Fu family, no one from her family dared to disrespect or ignore her.


    When she lost her title as the mistress of the Fu house, she didn''t dare to let her family find out about it, otherwise, she would slowly start to lose the respect and reputation she tried so hard to build.


    Now, her husband wanted to send her packing, how could she bear the shame and disgrace? She would be seen as a failure and she didn''t want that.


    Fu Hee continued crying and pleading with him, but Fu Lei was adamant and looked like he had already made a decision. He refused to listen to her please and forcefully pushed her hands away, before leaving the walk-in closet.


    Fu Hee got up from the floor and quickly chased after him in tears. When she got to the room, she was in time to see him leaving the room. She called out to him and chased after him.


    "Fu Lei, please don''t send me away! I don''t want to leave!" Fu Hee cried.


    Her loud voice caused amotion in the house.


    Fu Lei stopped in steps and turned to say to her, "You''d better stop screaming and shut your mouth! If you want to leave this house with a little dignity!"


    "No, Fu Lei, I don''t want to leave, I''m sorry!" Fu Hee cried ???? as she gazed at him with a tear-stained face.


    "You''re sorry? No, I refuse to believe you! How much is the Bai family paying you for trying to go against the Fu family? You go against Father, you go against me your husband, and you go against your own son! Where did you leave your brain? If the Bai family will pay you a lot, then I have to help you leave the Fu family and give you the freedom that you deserve!" Fu Lei said angrily before striding off.


    The servants in the house heard themotion but they didn''t dare to abandon their job toe and watch the show caused by their masters. They were well trained as they understood their job.


    It was only Butler Lu who had the right to check on this kind of matter.


    Butler Lu came in time to see Fu Lei walking towards the living room with Fu Hee chasing after him.


    Fu YingPei who had not yet left for work heard his mother''s cries and pleadings and came over.


    "General, please may I ask on behalf of Master what is going on?" Butler Lu asked with a bow.


    "Go and tell him I''m sending Fu Hee back to the Fang family tomorrow morning." Fu Lei said without an ounce of emotion.


    Butler Lu nced at the red-eyed Fu Hee before going to report to the old man.


    When Grandfather Fu heard what themotion was all about, he sighed. He didn''t need to ask who told his son about the incident.


    "This boy is learning how to be protective of his wife." Grandfather Fu muttered in a low tone. He was referring to Fu Hua and Butler Lu got the message.


    "Sir, what about Master Lei, he seemed very serious." Butler Lu reminded him before the matter esctes.


    "Let''s go and see him." Grandfather Fu said as he stood up and walked out of his study with Butler Lu walking behind him.


    Grandfather Fu came in time to see Fu YingPei pleading with Fu Lei to forgive Fu Hee.


    "Dad, please forgive mum, she has already promised not to do it again, please don''t send her away." Fu YingPei said to his father.


    "You want me to forgive her? Does she deserve it?" Fu Lei asked while pointing at the crying Fu Hee. She sat on the floor and cried her heart out.


    "Dad, please..." Fu YingPei pleaded. He was not in support of his mother''s actions, but he felt that sending her back to her family was a little too much for a punishment.


    "No way!" Fu Lei had just said before Grandfather Fu decided to intervene in the matter.


    "Fu Lei, are you nning to bring my house down with your rage?" Grandfather Fu asked calmly as he wakes in with his hands behind him.


    His facial expression looked quite serious because of the reading sses over his eyes.


    Fu Lei nced at his old man and looked away without saying anything.


    Grandfather Fu nced at Fu Hee, who immediately ran to his side and knelt before him. She grabbed his clothes and begged him to forgive her.


    "Father, please don''t allow Fu Lei to send me back to the Fang family, I promise to listen to everything you say. I promise to be an obedient and respectful daughter-inw. I promise not to interfere in Hua''s marriage." Fu Hee pleaded with him as she continued to cry.


    "Will you remember your words or will you choose to swallow them?" Grandfather Fu asked as he gazed into her eyes.

 Chapter 177 - ...because Of Jia Li

    <h4>Chapter 177 - ...because Of Jia Li</h4>


    "Will you remember your words, or will you choose to swallow them?" Grandfather Fu asked as he gazed into her eyes.


    Seeing that there was a chance for redemption, Fu Hee clung tightly to the old man''s clothes and nodded frantically.


    "Father, I promise to keep my promise. If I go against me, then you can punish me. You can send me back to my family and bring it down." Fu Hee said and wiped her tears while gazing at the old man expectantly.


    Just then, Fu Hua came over with his hands in his pockets. He remained unmoved when he saw the scene in front of him. He even went to sit and sat cross-legged on the sofa.


    This was his kind of personality. He is heartless towards the people that dare to cross his path, no matter who they are.


    Grandfather Fu nced at Fu Hua who just walked in and sat down like the matter didn''t concern him.


    Fu Lei guessed what the old man was about to do and immediately refused to surrender.


    "Father, don''t tell me anything, Fang Hee is going back to the Fang Family tomorrow morning. Since she is good at plotting evil, surely she won''t have a hard time spending the rest of her life there." Fu Lei said as he red at Fu Hee.


    What he meant, was that Fu Hee could survive in the Fu family since she knew how to plot against people. She could use these abilities to save herself.


    "Fu Lei, I promise not to go against you, please don''t send me back to the Fang family." Fu Hee pleaded as more tears rolled down her cheeks.


    She surely looked pitiable now. She couldn''t wait to get out of that situation and rest.


    "Fu Lei, you can punish her in another way, don''t send her back to the Fang family since she has made a promise. If she goes against her words, I will make her head to the Fang family and then crush them underneath my feet." Grandfather Fu said as he made a crushing noise with his foot.


    Fu Lei''s countenance was cold as he nced between the old man and Fu Hee.


    Fu YingPei nced at his brother who seemed not to care about whatever was going on. He looked very worried as he tried to approach him to intercede for their mother.


    It looked like Fu Hua guessed his thoughts and so nced at him, "Don''t you dare!" He said in a cold tone.


    Fu YingPei didn''t dare to go to his side again and remained standing there.


    Fu Lei didn''t say anything, so Grandfather Fu understood that he agreed with what he said. Grandfather Fu sighed and turned to Fu Hee to say...


    "Fu Hee, I hope you have learned your lessons, and you know the crime for deceiving me. You will be under house arrest for a month and 70% of your monthly allowance deducted for 3 months."


    "Thank you, Father!" Fu Hee said as she cried tears of joy!


    Atst, she has gotten out of the huge mess shended herself in and she doesn''t mind the punishment that was given to her.


    "Don''t thank me yet! I forgave you and gave you leeway because of Jia Li. I don''t want that child to feel bad and live her life in guilt." Grandfather Fu said, after making it known to everyone present of the reason he gave her a light punishment.


    In every situation, Grandfather Fu would always try to consider Jia Li''s feelings. He knew Jia Li would live in guilt and me herself if Fu Hee was sent away, so Grandfather had to find another way to punish Fu Hee.


    Fu Hee wiped her tears and she nodded. Now, she understood the reason the old man rescued her from her husband''s hands.


    There was no need to think too much about it. She was grateful that she was spared. She thanked the old man again.


    Grandfather Fu nced at her and said, "You have offended all of us, so you have to render an apology to each member of the family for the trouble you have caused. You also have to especially apologize to Fu Hua and Jia Li for the troubles you''ve caused them and for trying to kill their unborn child. After that, you need to be always grateful to Jia Li, because she is the reason you were not sent back to the Fang family today, remember that she gave you a second chance."


    Fu Hee listened carefully and responded to what the old man said. She sniffed and wiped her tears and snot with the back of her hand.


    "I will listen to everything father said to me." Fu Hee said and bowed while still kneeling.


    "Get up, go and clean up. You will render the apology during lunch." Grandfather Fu said and asked her to leave.


    Fu Hee thanked him and tried to stand up but she was too weak to do that. She was lucky enough that Fu YingPei was the only person that was still willing to look out for her.


    Fu YingPei came to her side and helped to lift her.


    "Thank you!" Fu Hee said to him in a hoarse voice. Her vocal cords have been damaged after crying for a long time.


    Fu Hee nced at Fu Lei before leaving but thetter didn''t even spare her a nce. Fu Hee sniffed and walked away without looking back.


    Butler Lu nced at her back and sighed. He hoped that she would take this second chance that was given to her and repent from her evil ways otherwise the consequences will be dire.


    With what she was seeing, it was now only Fu YingPei that still cared about her a little and maybe the young miss that would being back soon. Apart from that, she didn''t have any other support in the family.


    "Fu Lei, you can go and rx now, the matter has ended, and I''m happy with what you did today." Grandfather Fu said to him.


    "I was only doing what was right. I don''t have the time to rest, I''m going back right away." Fu Lei said and left their presence and Fu YingPei left as well.


    Turning to Fu Hua, Grandfather Fu said to him...

 Chapter 178 - At The Mercy Of Her Shephard

    <h4>Chapter 178 - At The Mercy Of Her Shephard</h4>


    "I was only doing what was right. I don''t have the time to rest, I''m going back right away." Fu Lei said and left their presence and Fu YingPei left as well.


    Turning to Fu Hua, Grandfather Fu said to him...


    "Fu Hua, learn from me. I know you wanted to teach your mother a lesson, but you forgot to think about Jia Li''s feelings. You forgot that Jia Li is softhearted and will surely feel bad and me herself if your mother is sent away."


    Grandfather Fu understood that this was his way of protecting his wife but he overlooked her feelings in the process.


    Fu Hua thinks deeply and understands that he neglected Jia Li''s feelings while trying to teach his mother a lesson.


    Knowing Jia Li''s personality, he knew that she would surely me herself if his mother was sent away. Just recurring her worried facial looks before he came down, he sighed.


    "Grandfather, Jia Li and I will be leaving this evening." Fu Hua announced.


    "Why don''t you two stay till tomorrow?" Grandfather Fu asked. With Fu Hua announcing their leaving out of the blue, he was not too surprised.


    "I have to go to the office tomorrow morning, so we need to leave today." Fu Hua insisted.


    "Okay. I will send the new servants to your house to clean up and wait for you two to return. As for the doctor I contacted for Jia Li, she will be in touch with you soon, I asked her toe over to the country till Jia Li gives birth." Grandfather Fu revealed.


    He promised to get a doctor for Jia Li and he did get the best for her.


    "Thank you!" Fu Hua said before getting up and leaving his sight. He was going back to his bedroom to find Jia Li.


    Fu Hua goes to find Jia Li only to see her standing at the foot of the stairs, with his father standing in front of her. His glint narrowed as he walked towards them in steady steps.


    Jia Li had just replied to Fu Lei when she raised her gaze and saw Fu Hua''s gaze resting on her. She was surprised to see him so soon.


    Seeing her gaze behind him, Fu Lei turned over to see Fu Hua standing behind him. Actually, he heard the footsteps and only turned when he saw the change in Jia Li''s facial expression.


    That facial expression was enough to tell him that somebody she was submissive to, was behind him.


    Seeing his son standing behind him with that narrows gaze, he hurried to exin...


    "Fu Hua, you are here. I was just saying ''hello'' to Jia Li. I have to go back to the barracks now. See you two some other time." Fu Lei said and patted Fu Hua''s shoulder before turning to leave in steady steps.


    Jia Li was surprised her father-inw that rarely said a word, could even walk up to talk to her and say so many words at once.


    Retracting his gaze from the direction his father left from, Fu Hua fixed his gaze on Jia Li.


    "I told you to stay in the bedroom and wait for me, why did youe downstairs?"


    "I was worried." Jia Li replied in a low tone. She felt guilty for going against his instructions.


    When themotion was happening, she wanted to follow him out but he asked her to wait in the bedroom. She had been worried sick and had been sitting impatiently.


    At a point, she felt the bed had pins and needles pinching her butts, so she couldn''t sit still and had to walk around the room with a worried look on her face.


    And atst, when she couldn''t take it anymore because she didn''t know what was happening downstairs, she decided to go downstairs to check what was happening and was in time to meet face to face with her father-inw.


    Hearing her exnation, Fu Hua had no words left for her. He grabbed her hand and started to walk up the stairs with Jia Li following him like an obedient littlemb at the mercy of her shepherd.


    In the bedroom, Fu Hua released her hand and closed the door behind them. Then he asked with his hands in his trouser pockets, as his gaze rested on her, "Did my father frighten you? What did he say to you?"


    His question was surprising to Jia Li. She didn''t know if he was just curious about what his father said to her, or if he was concerned about her.


    Recalling the scene of the awkward conversation between her and her father-inw, Jia Li replied, "Father didn''t frighten me. He only apologized and asked how I was doing?"


    Jia Li had juste down the stairs and was in time to see her furious father-inw walking away when their gazes jammed.


    When Fu Lei saw her, he tried to smile as he made his way to her side but his smile was stiff, as he felt it as well, so he stopped.


    When he got to her side, he said to her, "Jia Li, how are you? I haven''t spoken much to you before. I apologize for Hee''s ugly attitude towards you. You can rx, the matter has been taken care of."


    "Thank you, Father, I''m fine." Jia Li had replied awkwardly.


    The conversation was too awkward that she wished to flee from him, and luckily, Fu Hua had appeared at that time.


    Back to the current scene. Fu Hua gazed into her eyes and asked, "That''s all?"


    "Yes." Jia Li replied and nodded.


    As they were standing face to face, Fu Hua removed his hands from his pockets as his gaze on her softened. He ced his palms on her cheeks and leaned in to kiss her but Jia Li moved her lips away, so his lips touched her cheeks.


    Fu Hua moved his face away to nce at Jia Li''s face, only to see her looking in another direction.


    "Rest." He said to her and turned to walk away but a pair of soft palms grabbed his hand.


    Jia Li nced at him with a soft gaze. She didn''t know the reason she rejected him earlier but seeing him about to walk past her, she was scared he would be cold towards her for rejecting his touches for the second time in a roll.

 Chapter 179 - Jia Li Blushed Under The Covers

    <h4>Chapter 179 - Jia Li Blushed Under The Covers</h4>


    Fu Hua stopped in his steps and nced at her with creased brows and asked, "Do you want to say something?"


    Jia Li shook her head in a negative affirmation.


    Fu Hua wanted to walk off again, but her hold on his clothes became tighter. And before he could say anything to her again, Jia Li took a step and embraced him.


    She circled her arms around his waist and leaned her head on his shoulder. She was afraid he would push her away, but still, she was ready for it.


    After there was no movement 5 secondster, Jia Li concluded that he wasn''t going to push her away, so she rxedfortably in his embrace and shut her eyes.


    "Please can we stay like this for a few minutes?" She asked in a soft tone without raising her face.


    This was the first time Jia Li was making a move on him and Fu Hua didn''t know her reason. But since she asked to stay like that for a few minutes, he wasn''t going to push her away.


    Fu Hua hugged her waist and allows her to restfortably in his embrace. He even went ahead to kiss the top of her hair.


    After a few minutes has passed and Jia Li wasn''t letting go, Fu Hua whispered to her, "It''s tiring for you to continue standing, I will carry you to the bed."


    And with that, he lifted her and walked towards the bed as Jia Li circled her arm around his neck.


    When Fu Hua ced her on the bed, she reluctantly let go of his neck. She missed his warm embrace.


    Fu Hua saw the reluctance in her gaze as she let go and smiled. He walked towards his side of the bed, got inside the duvet and covered their bodies with it.


    Without warning, Fu Hua pulled Jia Li into his embrace and wrapped his arm around her.


    Jia Li''s lips turned up in a smile as she rested her head on his hard chestfortably.


    "Are you tired? If you are, sleep." Fu Hua said to her in a gentle tone as he rubbed her back.


    Jia Li raised her head to nce at him. Her gaze moved from his eyes to his pointed nose and then to his lips. Without thinking twice, she leaned in to give him a quick kiss before turning her back towards him.


    Fu Hua was indeed surprised by her gesture. This was the first time she was taking the initiative to be close to him and she even kissed him.


    Fu Hua smiled with his gaze on her back, while Jia Li blushed under the covers. She felt that she was very brave to make a move on him.


    Fu Hua pulled her closer to him, so her back was against his chest. "Do you want something from me?" He asked.


    "No, I...I..." Jia Li stammered nervously.


    "It''s okay, you can tell me anything." Fu Hua encouraged her.


    Jia Li was encouraged by his words and went ahead to say what was in her mind.


    "I just wanted to rest in your arms."


    Her voice was so tiny that Fu Hua could barely hear her.


    "It''s okay, I am your husband, don''t be shy. I will apany you to rest at your request." Fu Hua said as he moved his hand to caress her stomach through her cloth.


    Jia Li enjoyed his touch and shut her eyes with a satisfied smile. She was happy she made a move and was not rejected.


    She didn''t know what came over her, but she suddenly wanted to feel his touch and be close to him.


    Now that her heart desires were being fulfilled, she was happy.


    Fu Hua held Jia Li in his embrace until she fell asleep. He noticed her stable breathing and a smile turned up on his lips.


    He stayed like that for a while, before falling asleep not long after.


    When Jia Li woke up from her nap, she noticed that she was still in Fu Hua''s embrace. Her back was no longer against him, but she was gazing at his face right now.


    Fu Hua felt a gaze on him and opened his eyes to see Jia Li staring at him.


    "What are you looking at?" He asked as he pinched her nose.


    Jia Li moved her face away andined, "I''m famished."


    "You''re hungry? I will call the servants to bring something for you. What do you want to eat?" Fu Hua asked as he sat up and helped her to sit up as well.


    "I just want to eat something." Jia Li replied. These days taking a nap could be quite annoying because she will sleep with a full stomach and wake with an empty one.


    Sometimes she wondered if her baby only ate when she was sleeping because since she conceived, she noticed that pattern.


    Fu Hua picked up the telephone ?? on the bedside table and phoned the kitchen. He asked them to bring some light and healthy snacks for Jia Li.


    Before he finished the call, Jia Li went for a bathroom break and when she returned, he was already sitting on his desk.


    "Sit and wait for a minute, a servant will bring you some healthy snacks soon." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li smiled sat down to wait for the snacks. Atst, when the servant arrived and served the healthy snacks, she began to eat them immediately.


    Fu Hua nced over and said, "Don''t eat too much, it will be time for lunch soon."


    Jia Li paused and asked her gaze on him, "Can I have my lunch here?" She wanted to have her lunch in the room because she was scared.


    "No, we will all have our lunch in the dining room. We need to be present to listen to an apology." Fu Hua replied.


    Jia Li was confused about his statement but didn''t ask further.


    Her questions were answered after Fu Hee apologized to her and everyone present in the dining room.


    Fu Hee''s eyes were still red from the crying episode from earlier. Her eyes looked swollen as well.


    After apologizing, Grandfather Fu gave a sign for them to start eating.


    Jia Li didn''t know what to think about her mother-inw''s current looks. She didn''t look happy and wondered what was done to her to make her be in that state.


    Fu Hee didn''t eat much during lunch and went back to her bedroom earlier than usual.

 Chapter 180 - I Will Let You Off This Time

    <h4>Chapter 180 - I Will Let You Off This Time</h4>


    Jia Li was disturbed and worried about her, so she didn''t eat much.


    Grandfather Fu and Fu Hua kept putting food in her bowl, and when they saw she was finding it difficult to finish them up, they stopped.


    "Jia Li, do you not like the food? Should I ask the kitchen to prepare another dish for you?" Fu ChunHua asked with a smile.


    "No Aunty, no need!" Jia Li replied. She liked the food, but she didn''t have an appetite to eat for long.


    "Jia Li, Fu Hua said you two are leaving today evening, feel free to order whatever you like, I will take care of it," Grandfather said with a gentle smile.


    "We are leaving today?" Jia Li whispered to Fu Hua''s ears in surprise.


    Howe he didn''t tell her about it?


    "Yes, I want to sleep with you so badly." Fu Hua whispered back to her ear.


    Jia Li blushed and quickly patted her cheeks that we''re already hurting from the blushing. She didn''t know what was wrong with him, why would he say something like that in the dining room full of people?


    Thank goodness others didn''t hear what he said, otherwise, Jia Li would be so embarrassed as to not have the courage to face anyone.


    Fu Hua kept a normal facial expression and continued eating while pretending like he didn''t just tease his shy wife.


    All through lunch, Jia Li kept hearing Fu Hua''s words echoing in her ears and she couldn''t help blushing.


    After Lunch, Jia Li and Fu Hua returned to their bedroom. Jia Li was the only one surprised their bags has been packed. She didn''t need to ask to know it was the servants that did the work.


    "Won''t you give me a hug?" Fu Hua asked as he spread his arms out to her with a smile.


    Jia Li nced at him and wondered the reason for the hug. She looked confused ????


    "What?! You don''t want to hug me?" Fu Hua asked with raised brows.


    Jia Li smiled and walked towards him to hug him. She circled her arms behind him and leaned her head on his chest.


    Fu Hua smiled and hugged her with his arms caressing her back.


    "Do you know the reason I asked for a hug?" Fu Hua asked.


    "No." Jia Li replied and raised her face to look at him while expecting an exnation.


    "Because I like to feel your soft bosom on my hard chest." Fu Hua said with a teasing gaze ????


    "You...You..." Jia Li felt embarrassed and wanted to leave his embrace but Fu Hua didn''t let her.


    "Where are you going to?" Fu Hua queried with his gaze on her ????


    "I want to sit." Jia Li lied. If she told him that she was running away from him, then it would be the main reason he wouldn''t let her go ????????


    Fu Hua understood her thoughts very well and let her go. "Okay, I get it. I will let you off his time."


    Not long after, Jia Li and Fu Hua left the Fu house. Jia Li was very happy that Ocean wasing with her.


    She ended up giving her some pats and a few rubs before she climbed into another car that woulde with them.


    Atst, when she finally let Ocean go, she climbed into the car with Fu Hua and his first reaction was to pass her some wipes.


    Jia Li nced over and saw the frown on his face and quietly took some wipes to clean her hands.


    When they finally got to their house, Jia Li sighed in relief, as she didn''t have to worry about not being at peace.


    Fu Hua saw the smile on her face and felt a little delighted that their home brought her a sense of peace.


    "Let''s go in, it''s very cold outside." Fu Hua said as he ced his hand on her shoulder.


    "Can I bring Ocean inside the house?" Jia Li asked with a smile as she gazed at him.


    Fu Hua sent her a harmless re. "You can y with your dog outside the house, don''t bring her into my house."


    "What..." ???? Jia Li''s facial expression did not look too good.


    "Your dog has a house at the back, so why would you bring her into my house?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Her name is Ocean. If you continue treating her like this, she will never like you." Jia Li said to him as she sulked.


    "I don''t need her to like me, I only need you to like me." Fu Hua said with a smile but seeing the surprised look on Jia Li''s face, he felt he said something wrong.


    He ended up taking her hand and walked inside the house without saying anything.


    Jia Li was surprised by his words. She had no idea if he meant his words or if he made a mistake.


    Fu Hua''s thoughts were nk. He didn''t want to think back to the fact that he just asked Jia Li to like him.


    ''Why would I say that? Jia Li must have been shocked.'' Fu Hua thought to himself.


    As they walked into their house, their new servants walked up to greet them. The housekeeper introduced herself to them.


    "I am surnamed Zu, I will be in charge of catering for your needs." Housekeeper Zu introduced herself with a bow.


    "You all can go back." Fu Hua said to them with a nk look on his face. He didn''t need to address them, because his cold facial expression had already done that.


    If any of them dared to mess up, he would throw the person away.


    Jia Li was the only person that looked kinder, more especially when she saw her servant. She knew Grandfather Fu arranged for her sake.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua returned to their bedroom, and Jia Li couldn''t wait to lie on the bed.


    "I feel so sleepy." She said to herself before going to lie on the bed, leaving Fu Hua to bring in their luggage ????


    Fu Hua thought she was joking, but before he could keep their luggage in the inner room ande out, Jia Li was already fast asleep.

 Chapter 181 - You Better Shut Up!

    <h4>Chapter 181 - You Better Shut Up!</h4>


    The next day while Fu Hua was away, Jia Li wasn''t lonely at all, because she spent her whole day with Ocean.


    When the weather got so cold, the housekeeper came to call her inside. Jia Li didn''t want to let go of Ocean, who started barking at the housekeeper.


    The housekeeper was scared of Ocean and so stood at a safe distance from her.


    "I will be inside soon." Jia Li said as he patted Ocean''s head to calm her down.


    "Madam, you''re pregnant, and the weather is very cold, it''s not good for the fetus." The houser reminded again.


    Jia Li remembered her child and stood up. Sometimes she felt she was pregnant and other times, she felt like any other normal woman out there, and today was one of those days she felt like any other normal woman out there.


    Jia Li felt bad for neglecting her child and gently patted her stomach. As she tried to leave, an idea popped up in her head and a smile appeared on her face.


    "Ocean,e with me." Jia Li said to Ocean before striding towards the housekeeper that has been waiting for her.


    The housekeeper was scared of Ocean and quickly walked ahead of Jia Li as she asked in surprise, "Madam, are you bringing your dog inside the house?"


    "Yes. Fu Hua is not in, so it shouldn''t matter." Jia Li replied as she walked ahead with Ocean following after her happily.


    Jia Li saw how worried the housekeeper was and assured her, "Don''t worry about Ocean messing the house up, she is well trained and won''t do that."


    The housekeeper still didn''t dare to rx. If Jia Li brings the dog into the house, how will the servants go about with their work?


    Ocean was excited to be brought into the house, she barked happily but only stayed beside Jia Li as she looked around.


    When she heard an approaching footstep, she barked again. The servant that was walking towards them was so scared that she turned back and went back to where she came from.


    Jia Li frowned at Ocean and said to her as an instruction, "Ocean, don''t bark while you''re inside the house if there is no danger, just sit beside me obediently."


    Ocean nced at her with her tongue out before looking away and wagged her tail.


    Seeing how obedient her dog was, Jia Li smiled satisfactorily and walked to sit in the living room to watch TV.


    Ocean sat on the fluffy mat beside her and watched Tv with her. She didn''t make any noise and had her gaze on the Tv. She also didn''t fail to look around when she heard any sound, she was always on alert.


    The housekeeper brought some hot tea for Jia Li but when she was some distance away from her, she nced at the dog beside her and her heart rate increased.


    This was the reason she wanted to serve the tea herself because no servant would dare to serve the tea when a protective dog was sitting beside her.


    "Madam..." The housekeeper called for Jia Li''s attention while still standing in ce.


    Jia Li and Ocean turned to nce at her at the same time. The smile on her face faltered. Who was the madam? The dog or Jia Li?


    "Bring it over here." Jia Li sad to her with a smile.


    The housekeeper walked to Jia Li''s side to serve the tea in confidence. With Jia Li telling her, she coulde over, she was sure the dog wouldn''t do anything.


    After serving the tea and snacks, the housekeeper disappeared while patting her chest. Since the strategy worked, she gathered the other servants and told them about it.


    They have to call out to Jia Li before going close to her if they see Ocean around her.


    Jia Li fell asleep close to the end of the movie and Ocean shifted close to her side, and no one dared toe close to her.


    The housekeeper couldn''t leave Jia Li to sleep on the couch just like that, but she was also scared of the dog.


    Thinking that Fu Hua wouldn''t be happy to see Jia Li sleeping like that on the couch without a nket covering her, the housekeeper knew she had to do something about it.


    She climbed up the stairs and came back with a nket to cover Jia Li''s body. When she approached close to Ocean who was staring at her in vignce, she smiled and raised the nket so she could see it.


    "The weather is cold, I want to cover her with this." The housekeeper said in a soft tone because she didn''t want to wake Jia Li.


    Ocean stood on her feet and shifted a little for her to pass. The housekeeper smiled and went over to ce the nket on Jia Li with Ocean checking around her.


    Her heart was truly in her mouth all through that moment till she left their side.


    Ocean sat back in her position as continue to watch the Tv, while asionally throwing nces at Jia Li.


    This was the scene Fu Hua saw when he came back from work. He had a tight frown on his face when he saw Ocean in the living room.


    He nced at the sofa and saw Jia Li sleepingfortably with a nket over her body.


    "She really dared to bring the dog inside my house?" Fu Hua asked with a frown as he made his way to the sofa where Jia Li was sleeping.


    Ocean saw him and growled. She didn''t dare to bark because of Jia Li''s warning, and also because Jia Li was sleeping.


    "You better shut up!" Fu Hua said to Ocean angrily before turning to Jia Li to take off the nket from her body, as then he lifted her in his arms before striding off.


    Ocean wagged her tail and followed after him.


    When he got to the foot of the stairs, Fu Hua spat out three cold words and continued with the journey with Jia Li sleepingfortably in his arms.


    "Don''t follow us!"


    Ocean stood at the foot of the stairs and watched Fu Hua carry Jia Li up the stairs. She wagged her tail and brought out her tongue.


    The servants sighed in relief that at least, their master could control the dog. Now that the two house owners had gone up the stairs, the servants couldn''t leave the dog in the house, but they were still scared to approach her.

 Chapter 182 - Li Huans Call...

    <h4>Chapter 182 - Li Huan''s Call...</h4>


    When Jia Li woke up from her nap, she felt sofortable with her eyes closed. She smiled and stretched her hand.


    When she discovered howfortable she was, she opened her eyes only to see herself lying on the bed. She sat up immediately and met a cold gaze locked on her.


    She managed a smile and asked, "When did youe back?"


    "Why did you bring your dog inside the house?" Fu Hua ignored her question and asked with his gaze on her.


    Jia Li pretended as if she didn''t understand the question and looked elsewhere. She was guilty of disobedience.


    Fu Hua got up from the chair and walked towards the bed. Jia Li saw himing and immediately got out of bed from her side.


    Fu Hua stopped in his steps and asked as he put his hands inside his trouser pockets "Why are you running away?"


    "Nothing... I''m sorry about bringing Ocean into the house. I was bored and wantedpany so I brought her with me. I promise that Ocean will not cause amotion, she is obedient and well trained." Jia Li vouched for Ocean with a harmless look.


    "Shouldn''t you be telling me you wouldn''t bring her inside the house again? What''s with you trying to convince me of how obedient she is, don''t tell me you still have the intentions of bringing her into the house next time?" Fu Hua asked with creased brows.


    "That... Fu Hua, I will be right back, I need to use the bathroom." Jia Li said and quickly rushed into the bathroom without waiting for him to say anything.


    ''Did I just let her escape?'' Fu Hua thought to himself as he nced at the door to the inner room.


    Actually, this was how Jia Li managed to escape replying to that question. She needed to pee and had to use that opportunity to escape that question.


    She didn''t want to stop bringing Ocean into the house, so she didn''t want to promise what she couldn''t do.


    The next morning, Jia Li woke up to her phone ringing aloud. She squinted her eyes as she nced at the side next to her, but Fu Hua was already gone.


    She sat up and stretched her hand towards her side of the nightstand and picked up her phone. ncing at the caller ID, sleeppletely disappeared from her eyes.


    She answered the call immediately and greeted, "Hello, brother Huan."


    "Hello, Jia Li, I have good news for you. I am currently in your city, please can we meet up around 10 AM, I have something important to share with you?" Li Huan asked in an excited tone.


    "Oh..." Jia Li said unsure of what to say.


    "Good, see you in a few hours, bye." Li Huan said and ended the call after that.


    ''Brother Huan is here and he wants to see me?'' Jia Li thought to herself with a confused look on her face.


    She tried guessing what the important thing he wanted to share with her was all about, but she couldn''t think of anything.


    Apart from that, Jia Li thought that meeting up with his would be the right opportunity to tell him about the changes in her life.


    She almost forgot about that and thanks to this call, she remembered she had to take care of something important.


    Jia Li got up and went to wash up. During breakfast, Fu Hua who had been in the study came down for breakfast dressed in his normal work attire.


    While eating, Jia Li was distracted and Fu Hua noticed it.


    "What are you worried about?" He asked as he put some food on her te.


    "I''m...it''s my project, I''m thinking of when we start working on it." Jia Li replied as she nced at him.


    "We will start working on it from tomorrow. We will go to the textile industry ???? to select the materials we will be needing for it." Fu Hua said to her.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li said with a slight smile and continued to eat.


    Jia Li waited patiently till arete breakfast to tell Fu Hua that she wanted to leave the house for a while.


    "I''m going to see a friend."


    "Go ahead, dress properly it''s cold because of the snow, call the cab driver and be careful." Fu Hua said to her before leaving.


    He didn''t ask about the kind of friend she was going to meet and the reason for it, and Jia Li was d.


    When the time for the appointment reached, Jia Li got dressed and called the cab driver. The cab driver was allowed into the premises as per Fu Hua''s instruction.


    When Jia Li got to the caf¨¦ where she was supposed to meet up with Li Huan, she asked the driver to leave first, she would call himter.


    Jia Li walked into the cafe with her gaze looking everywhere in search of Li Huan. Her mind rxed a little when she heard a familiar male voice calling out to her.


    Jia Li smiled as her gaze met Li Huan''s then she walked towards him.


    Li Huan was all smiles when he saw Jia Li and stood up from his seat. When she was close enough, he hugged her with a warm smile.


    Jia Li was surprised by his actions and called out to him in a soft tone, "Brother Huan..."


    Li Huan recovered from his excitement and let her go as he apologized, "I''m sorry, I was so excited to see you. Please sit down and order what you want."


    Jia Li managed a smile and sat on the chair he pulled out for her, without knowing that someone has been watching her since Li Huan called out her name.


    With the name being called out like that in public, it was normal for someone who knew her or have heard about her to nce over in curiosity.


    Jia Li not knowing that she was being watched and some scenes being captured with a phone camera, ced her drink order.


    She ordered tea, while Li Huan ordered a cup of coffee.

 Chapter 183 - Jia Li Tells Li Huan Shes Married

    <h4>Chapter 183 - Jia Li Tells Li Huan She''s Married</h4>


    Jia Li removed the gloves from her hands before taking a few sips from her tea. She met Li Huan''s gaze and felt it was weird.


    Li Huan smiled when Jia Li looked away from him. He thought she was still that shy young girl he used to know.


    "Jia Li, how have you been? I''m sorry I was too caught up with work that I didn''t call regrly." Li Huan said as he put down his cup of coffee and gazed at Jia Li with a smile.


    The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. She still looked the same as thest time he saw her.


    "It doesn''t matter. You were busy with work and I was busy with school." Jia Li replied and blew on the hot tea before sipping some of it.


    Still with a smiling gaze he asked, "How are your studies? When are you rounding up?"


    "I''m currently working on my projects. I will be graduating in a month from now." Jia Li replied.


    "Wow! That''s good. I''m sure you''re doing so great!" Li Huan said.


    Jia Li felt awkward sitting there and chatting with him. Before, she used to anticipate this kind of meeting with him but now that it was actually happening, she wasn''t catching the right feelings.


    Jia Li looked around the cafe and hugged her arms. She was truly ufortable and Li Huan who has had his eyes ????? on her since she stepped into the cafe, noticed she wasn''tfortable.


    "Are you ufortable? Do you want us to go to some other ce?" Li Huan asked in a concerned tone while thinking she was ufortable sitting in a public ce with him.


    Jia Li returns her gaze to him and said, "No, it''s fine here. Brother Huan, you said you have something important to tell me."


    Being reminded of the reason for his happiness, Li Huan smiled and announced to her.


    "Yes. I passed a test and a difficult interview and was promoted to the Head of my department."


    "What! Brother Huan, you got a promotion?" Jia Li asked in an excited tone. She was truly happy for Li Huan since he got a promotion after only working for 3 years.


    "Yes, I did. My hard work paid off. And now that I am the Head of my department, I can control my schedule most of the time." Li Huan said happily.


    This was the greatest achievement to him so far and now, he had another n, which he would make known at the end of the day.


    And the n was to be with the woman he adores and that woman was sitting in front of him now.


    Jia Li was unaware of his thoughts and was still excited about his promotion.


    "Brother Huan, this is good news. Does Aunty know about this?"


    "Not yet, I haven''t said anything to her. If she finds out about it, she will want me to go back home to have a sumptuous meal with her." Li Huan said as he rxed on the seat.


    He knows his mother very well, she will surely ask him toe home to celebrate his promotion over a table of local dishes.


    "That''s true, Aunty will surely want to celebrate with you!" Jia Li said with a smile.


    "And she will want you to join us. So, Jia Li, will you travel back home with me, to celebrate my promotion with my mom?" Li Huan asked as he stretched his hand to hold hers.


    Jia Li withdrew her hands from his awkwardly. She knew where all these things were going but it was toote for them to be together and this was the right time to tell him the whole changes her life has undergone.


    Li Huan thought Jia Li was shy and smiled to himself. He didn''t feel bad, because Jia Li has always been so innocent and shy since he has known her, so her actions now, wasn''t a surprise to him.


    "Brother Huan, I have something important to tell you." Jia Li said with a nervous gaze while fiddling with her fingers that were on herps.


    Li Huan saw her nervous look and his looks turned serious as well. "Is something the matter? Please tell me."


    Jia Li was really nervous and didn''t know how to say this to him without making him sad because she could tell that he liked her a lot. Breaking this news to him will definitely break his heart but she has to do it.


    Li Huan waited patiently untill Jia Li mustered up her courage to face him.


    "Brother Huan, I''m married." Jia Li finally said to him as her heart raced.


    ''Brother Huan, I''m married.''


    ''I''m married!''


    ''I''m married!''


    Those words continued echoing in Li Huan''s ears. He thought he didn''t hear well, but there was no way he would have heard wrong, and Jia Li''s confirmation to them, was like a hammer hitting on his chest.


    "Brother Huan, I''m sorry I didn''t tell you sooner. It happened all of a sudden and I didn''t have the opportunity to tell you about it. Thest time I wanted to tell you about it your Boss called for you, so we had to end our conversation." Jia Li said to him with a worried look on her face.


    Thinking about her words, he remembered thest time he heard a conversation with her before he called her this morning. Thinking back to that conversation, he remembered her saying something about having a matter she wanted to tell him.


    ''So, this was the matter?''


    After a long time, Li Huan found his voice. "When did you get married? Are you joking with me?"


    "I can''t lie to you, I...I got married in September." Jia Li replied in a soft tone.


    "Did the Fu family force you to get married? Are they bullying you?" Li Huan asked with a heavy heart.


    "They are treating me very well." Jia Li replied.


    "Who is your husband? Does he love you?" Li Huan asked again.


    "Brother Huan, all these questions are not necessary. I have to go back home, I can''t stay out for long." Jia Li said with a frown as she was starting to be ufortable.

 Chapter 184 - An Encounter With Bai Fen

    <h4>Chapter 184 - An Encounter With Bai Fen</h4>


    Li Huan grabbed her hands that she just put on the table and asked, "Does your husband bully you? How could you allow them to force you to get married? Look, you are not happy."


    Jia Li shook his hands off and said to him, "Brother Huan, nobody forced me."


    "Are you trying to say that you agreed to marry someone you don''t love? Jia Li, how could you do this?" Li Huan asked in a heartbroken voice.


    He was truly heartbroken. He has been waiting patiently for her to graduate, so he could make her his girlfriend and then wife, but she shocked him today by telling her she was married.


    "I did that to repay a debt. The Fu family has done so much for me. I needed to show appreciation to them but I didn''t have anything on me." Jia Li said as she looked down.


    "So, you sold yourself and your future to repay a debt?" Li Huan asked with creased brows.


    Jia Li saw that Li Huan''s face didn''t look good and hurried to cate him, "It''s not like that. Brother Huan, don''t worry about me, I''m fine."


    "How can you be fine?! How could you agree to a forced marriage, you would have asked me for help. Jia Li, this doesn''t dwell on me, take me to the Fu Family, I will help you ask for a divorce, I can''t bear to see you unhappy." Li Huan said with a great deal of heartache.


    "Brother Huan, I am not unhappy, and I can''t get a divorce. Nobody in the Fu family is allowed to get a divorce, it''s a rule." Jia Li revealed.


    Li Huan was tongue-tied for a while. "Jia Li what have you gotten yourself into? It''s all my fault, I wanted to wait till you graduate before asking you out but this had to happen." Li Huan said with a tone of regret.


    Jia Li was starting to feel asional nces at their table and she was too ufortable to continue sitting there. She was too ufortable to worry about Li Huan''s feelings.


    "Brother Huan, I...I need to go now." Jia Li said and stood up from her seat and lifted her bag but Li Huan stood up and grabbed her hand.


    "Jia Li, please hold on, you can''t leave like that." Li Huan said as he gazed at her with a heartbroken gaze.


    Jia Li felt all eyes on them and tried to break free from him but she failed to do that because of his strength. She frowned and said to him, "Brother Huan, let go, you''re hurting me."


    Li Huan came back to his senses and let her go and mutters an apology, "I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to hurt you."


    Jia Li massaged the ce he had just grabbed. But before she could say anything to him, She heard a mature female voiceing from the side.


    "Look who I saw today. So, you are the legendary Jia Li?" Bai Fen asked as she approached them with a smile. She had her phone and handbag in hand.


    Jia Li and Li Huan nced at her in surprise.


    "Do you know her?" Li Huan asked as he nced at Bai Fen with a frown.


    "No." Jia Li replied in a soft tone. She looked very surprised that the woman that was now standing in front of her, knew who she was but she had no idea of her identity.


    "Aunty, do you know me and please who are you?" Jia Li asked politely with her gaze on Bai Fen.


    Bai Fen snorted and nced at her with eyes full of malice. "I am a friend of the Fu family and of course I know you very well. You snatched my daughter''s ce but all it''s good now because you will be sent away from the Fu family today."


    Jia Li was shocked by her words. She wondered who Bai Fen was and how she was rted to the Fu Family and why she said she would be sent out from the Fu family.


    Seeing Jia Li''s confusion, Bai Fen smiled and nced at Li Huan before gazing back at her. "You are already married, but you are out here with another man. I saw you two act intimately several times now and I couldn''t help bute over."


    Jia Li was shocked by the way Bai Fen twisted her words and hurried to exin since she said she was rted to the Fu family. She didn''t want her to go around spreading fake news. "Aunty, I think there is a misunderstanding. This is my childhood friend and nothing is going on between us."


    "Do you think I''m blind? You are married and also pregnant but you are still shameless and uncultured to still be fooling around with your childhood sweetheart, you are truly shameless!" Bai Fen said in a tone full of hatred.


    "You are pregnant?" Li Huan asked Jia Li in shock after hearing Bai Fen mention it.


    Jia Li''s eyes became teary after being abused by Bai Fen. She didn''t know what she did wrong and how she had offended her.


    "What a pair of adulterous couple!" Bai Fen spat and turned and trotted out of the cafe.


    Tears dropped from Jia Li''s eyes as she felt the heated gazes on her. Li Huan forgot about her pregnancy as he became worried when he saw her tears.


    He put his hand on her shoulder and tried to console her, but Jia Li dodged him.


    "Brother Huan, I have to go now." Jia Li said to him as she choked on her tears. Then she ran out of the cafe immediately without waiting for his response.


    Li Huan chased after her immediately as he kept calling for her, but all of his calls fell on deaf ears.


    Jia Li cried and stopped a cab and got in immediately before Li Huan could stop her.


    Li Huan could only stand and watch as the cab drove away, as it was already toote to chase after Jia Li.

 Chapter 185 - Jia Li Misunderstands...

    <h4>Chapter 185 - Jia Li Misunderstands...</h4>


    Fu Hua was in his office tidying up and getting ready to leave for home when he received a call from a foreign number.


    His brows creased in a frown as he answered the call. He listened as the person introduced herself.


    "I know, my grandfather told me about you." Fu Hua replied with his fingers tapping on the desk.


    He listened for a few seconds again before replying, "I will bring her to see you today, thank you!"


    After the conversation came to an end, Fu Hua saved the contact on his phone and put his phone back on his desk.


    After putting the documents he will need to work with at home in his work bag ????, he got up from his seat and picked up his windbreaker and put it on, before picking up his phone and work bag from his desk.


    Walking through the hallway, he heard a notification sounding from his phone and flipped it over to check it out.


    The message was from an unsaved contact. He opened the message and saw the pictures the person sent and his countenance turned frosty.


    When Jia Li got home, she had already stopped crying, but her eyes were still red.


    Without saying anything to anyone, she climbed up the stairs and went straight to the bedroom to lie down.


    Each time she thought back to Bai Fen''s hurtful words, she felt pain in her chest. This was the first time she was encountering such a situation.


    She didn''t know who Bai Fen was to use her of what she didn''t do and to embarrass her publicly. Now she didn''t know if Bai Fen would spread false news to the Fu family about her.


    She only hoped the old man would trust her.


    Housekeeper Zu came over to knock on the food. She noticed that Jia Li was not in a good mood when she came back, so she had toe up here to ask her about lunch.


    "I''m not hungry." Jia Li said whileying on the bed with a duvet over her body.


    The housekeeper was in a dilemma and didn''t know what to do. But since Jia Li said she wasn''t hungry, she didn''t dare to disturb her and went away.


    When Fu Hua came back, he saw the food that was served on the dining table and asked the housekeeper who it belonged to.


    "Sir, it belongs to Madam. She came back and refused to eat, so I left them here in case shees down and wants to eat. But it looks like she is not in a good mood." The housekeeper reported.


    Fu Hua nced at the tes of food that were covered one more time before walking away without saying anything.


    When he stepped into the bedroom, he saw Jia Li lying on the bed. Their gaze met when she nced over at him.


    Jia Li nced at him before sitting up. Her eyes were no longer as red as before, since she managed to have a little nap to rest.


    When Fu Hua saw her eyes, he guessed that she must have cried and his gaze turned cold. He thought she cried and refused to eat because she parted with the man she went to see.


    "Did you go to see your friend?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.


    "Yes." Jia Li replied in a soft tone as she adjusted the duvet.


    "A male or a female?" Fu Hua asked as he put down his work bag ???? on the bed.


    Jia Li''s heart start palpitating when he asked that question. She began to wonder if he heard something. Before she left in the morning, he didn''t ask the details of the person she was going to see, so why was he interested in it now?


    "A male." Jia Li replied.


    Fu Hua removed his windbreaker and took out his phone from his trouser pocket. He unlocked his phone and opened the chat from the unknown contact.


    He found the pictures that were sent to him and walked to the side of the bed and passed the phone to Jia Li.


    "Is he the one?"


    Jia Li slowly stretched her hand out to take the phone from him, as she wondered the reason for his question. But when she saw the pictures of her and Li Huan in a suggestive pose, her heart skipped a beat.


    "You... how did you get this picture?" Jia Li asked in shock.


    "So I guess he is the one you went to see? Is he your boyfriend?" Fu Hua asked as he took his phone back from her and fixed a serious gaze on her.


    Jia Li knew he must have misunderstood something and tried to exin. "Fu Hua, it''s not what you think. I''m not cheating on you. Li Huan is my childhood friend he hugged me as a form of greeting. In the other picture, he grabbed my hand as I was about to leave, I didn''t do anything wrong!"


    As Jia Li was exining, tears started streaming down her eyes again.


    Fu Hua shut his eyes and then opened them again to nce at her.


    "It''s good that you''re still dressed,e with me to the hospital!" Fu Hua said to her with a serious facial expression.


    Something broke in Jia Li''s heart when he asked her to go to the hospital with him. Her mind shed back to what Bai Fen said to her.


    She remembered Bai Fen saying she was still fooling around with another man despite being married and pregnant.


    Jia Li thought Fu Hua didn''t trust her and wanted to conduct a DNA test because he must have thought she cheated on him and the child she was carrying didn''t belong to him.


    "You don''t trust me?" Jia Li asked as hot tears continued to stream down her cheeks ????


    "Is this something you should be crying for? Let''s go to the hospital right now, I don''t have time to waste!" Fu Hua said with a frown. He didn''t understand the reason for her outburst.

 Chapter 186 - Misunderstanding Is Resolved

    <h4>Chapter 186 - Misunderstanding Is Resolved</h4>


    Jia Li felt insulted and humiliated that he still didn''t trust her as he was still insisting on her going to the hospital with him.


    "I don''t want to go! I''m not going anywhere!" Jia Li said in tears. She would never agree to go for a DNA test, she couldn''t stand that humiliation.


    Fu Hua was annoyed seeing how stubborn Jia Li was acting. And the worst part of it was that she was even crying.


    "If you don''t stand up, I will carry you directly to the car." Fu Hua threatened.


    "I didn''t betray you, the baby is yours!" Jia Li continued sitting and cried harder when she saw Fu Hua''s angry gaze. She was scared that he would really do as he said.


    Fu Hua was surprised by her words and asked with a frown, as he was very confused, "What nonsense are you talking about?"


    "Don''t you want to take me to the hospital to take a DNA test because you think the baby is not yours?" Jia Li asked as she reduced the tempo of her voice.


    "What DNA test? I''m taking you to the hospital to see the doctor grandfather arranged for you. She called me while I was still at the office and asked me to bring you." Fu Hua exined.


    Jia Li wiped her tears and asked, "You trust me? You are not like that woman that used me of adultery?"


    "Why wouldn''t I believe you? Which woman used you of adultery?" Fu Hua asked with a frown.


    "There was a woman that saw me with Li Huan and..." Jia Li went on to exin what transpired at the cafe earlier that day.


    "She said she was a friend of the Fu family?" Fu Hua asked as his gaze turned colder.


    "Yes... She also said that I snatched..." When Jia Li got to this ce, she stopped talking. Fu Hua who was patiently waiting for her to continue saw that she didn''t want to say anything and forced her toplete her statement.


    "What else did she say?" Fu Hua asked with a piercing gaze.


    "She said that I snatched her daughter''s ce." Jia Li said as she looked down and fiddled with her fingers.


    Immediately Jia Lipleted her statement, Fu Hua knew who dared to offend his wife in public.


    "Mrs. Bai." Fu Hua said with a cold gaze. He knew she was the only person that could do that because Feng Alix''s mother will never dare to do that.


    Mrs. Bai was his mother''s friend and it wouldn''t be a surprise that she knew Jia Li. Also, his mother had tried setting him up with her daughter, so it was bound to be her.


    "You know who she is?" Jia Li asked with her gaze on him.


    "I have an idea. You don''t have to worry about it, I will take care of it. Next time someone dares to abuse you, report the matter to me immediately." Fu Hua said to her as he sat beside her on the bed.


    Jia Li nodded in response.


    "Look at you, you''ve been crying because of the hurtful words she said to you and I was here thinking that you were crying your eyes out because you couldn''t bear to part with your boyfriend." Fu Hua said as he wiped her tears with his palms.


    Jia Li frowned and pushed his hand away from her face as she quickly tried to exin to him. "Li Huan is not my boyfriend, he is my childhood friend."


    "Your childhood friend? Did you have a crush on him?" Fu Hua asked as he narrows his gaze on her.


    Jia Li was rmed as he managed to see through her. "I...I..." She tried to exin but gave up and looked away from him.


    Fu Hua turned her face so she could see him. "Tell me the truth, did you have a crush on him?" He asked.


    Jia Li saw that she couldn''t escape from him and she didn''t want to lie to him, so she decided to tell the truth. She nodded in response and the frown on Fu Hua''s face expanded.


    "You really had a crush on him! If I didn''t marry you, would have you have agreed to date him?" Fu Hua asked.


    Jia Li was quiet because of his question. She couldn''t wait to run away from him, as she wondered the reason for the interrogation.


    Fu Hua understood the meaning of her silence and said to her, "I don''t want to see you two together. If he calls you to meet with him, don''t go alone if you want and you have to tell me about it, understood that?"


    Jia Li nodded and refused to look at him. She wasn''t sure if he was jealous and was acting possessive of her.


    Fu Hua didn''t like the fact that his wife had a crush on another man while growing up. He was now scared that if she continued to meet with her childhood crush, she would start falling for him again, so he made a rule to stop them from having close contact with each other.


    Fu Hua rxed a little with her agreement. "See, you''ve been crying for such a long time that your eyes are red and swollen. Anyone that sees you will definitely know you were bullied."


    Jia Li allowed him to clean the remaining tears on her face as she replied, "I felt hurt after being used of something I didn''t do in public."


    "So that''s the reason you came here to sulk and you also dared to starve my child." Fu Hua asked with a re on her.


    Jia Li felt guilty and replied in a low tone, "That...I didn''t have any appetite."


    Fu Hua sighed and brought her into his arms to hug her. "You cried a lot today, you should eat and rest, we will visit the hospital tomorrow morning."


    "Thank you!" Jia Li said as she sniffed with her head resting on his shoulder.


    "Next time, don''t let your imagination run wild. I know the child belongs to me and you will never dare to cheat on me." Fu Hua said while patting her back.

 Chapter 187 - Fu Hua Pets His Wife

    <h4>Chapter 187 - Fu Hua Pets His Wife</h4>


    After consoling his sad wife, Fu Hua brought a warm towel to clean her face, before ringing the bell for her servant toe to the bedroom.


    Fu Hua ordered her to bring Jia Li''s lunch to the bedroom. The servant took the order and left.


    "You are allowing me to eat here?" Jia Li asked.


    "Yes. I bet you are already exhausted from crying." Fu Hua said and went into the inner room to change out of his clothes.


    Jia Li felt her heart warm up with his treatment. She smiled and released a long sigh.


    Now that she thought about it, she has noticed that Fu Hua was indulging her more and more. She didn''t know if that treatment willst for long but she will be greedy and enjoy it while itsts.


    After Fu Hua changed out of his clothes, he was in time to see the servant bring the food to the room.


    After serving the food, the servant left.


    Fu Hua sat beside Jia Li on the bed as he opened the tes. He picked up the spoon and scooped some soup before blowing on it.


    Jia Li thought he wanted to taste the food but was surprised when he brought the spoon to her lips.


    "Open your mouth!" Fu Hua said to her, and she obeyed as instructed.


    "How is it, do you like it?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.


    "I like it. I will eat myself." Jia Li said as she tried to take the spoon from him but Fu Hua moved the spoon away from her reach.


    "I will feed you." He said as he put down the spoon and used the fork and knife to cut another side dish before sending it into her mouth.


    Jia Li was happy with the love he was showing her and did not insist on feeding herself anymore.


    "Next time, don''t cry. I don''t like to see you cry."


    Before Jia Li could jubte because of his heartfelt words he added, "You look ugly when you cry."


    Jia Li''s facial expression changed and she refused to eat the food he just brought to her lips.


    "Open your mouth." Fu Hua said to her.


    "I don''t want you to feed me, I can eat by myself." Jia Li said stubbornly as she folded her arms below her chest.


    Her actions caused her boobs to rise because of the pressure underneath them.


    Fu Hua nced at her chest before fixing his gaze back on her. "Are you trying to seduce me? You have been starving me for several days now, are you throwing an invitation to me?"


    Jia Li nced at her chest and saw her visible boobs before taking her hands off. She wondered how just seeing a glimpse of her boobs could easily turn him on and what did he mean by she has been starving him for several days.


    Fu Hua brought the spoon to her lips but she still refused to open her mouth, so he had no choice than to threaten her.


    "If you don''t eat obediently like you''ve been doing before, I will take it that you have enough strength to serve me tonight. I won''t just let you go after one round because you have starved me for a long time. I will only be satisfied if we do it 5 times."


    His words were enough for Jia Li to wise up and obediently eat her food without throwing a tantrum. Fu Hua was d that his threats worked.


    "Are you not hungry?" Jia Li asked with a careful gaze.


    "Do you want to feed me?" Fu Hua asked.


    Jia Li didn''t reply as she saw that there was no point in trying to care for him.


    After feeding her, Fu Hua said to her, "Lie down and rest, I will go downstairs for lunch and make some calls before returning."


    Jia Liid down and watched him cover her with the duvet.


    It was really exhausting to have cried for long, plus her pregnancy. These past few days she has been feeling a bit lethargic because of the pregnancy, so not quite long after her head hit the pillows, she dozed off.


    After having his lunch, Fu Hua made some calls. Since he found out that Bai Fen dared to abuse his wife in public and even caused her to cry and be unhappy for a long time while she was pregnant, he decided to deal with her but not directly.


    He sent the contact of the person that sent him those pictures of Jia Li and Li Huan to someone to run a simple investigation.


    What he wanted to know was very simple. He wanted to know who had that contact.


    When he confirmed it really did belong to Bai Fen, he forwarded the message and the evidence from the investigation to his old man to take care of.


    Fu Hua didn''t want to step directly into the matter because his ways of doing things were too straightforward and cruel.


    He understood that the Bai and the Fu families has known each other for decades and because he knew if he handled the matter he will ruin whatever rtions that was left, he had to hand the matter over to his old man. He would be the best person to solve the issue, using his methods.


    When Butler Lu shows the message to Grandfather Fu, he was very angry and pounded his palms on his work desk.


    "Who gave the Bai family the right tomit such an offense?! That woman hurt my precious granddaughter-inw and that is unforgivable! Look at the kind of friends Fu Hee makes, very useless people!" Grandfather Fu said angrily.


    "Sir, calm down. Don''t put yourself under pressure for insignificant people." Butler Lu said.


    He was angry because Jia Li was used and embarrassed in public. He recognized the young man in the picture with Jia Li and knew he was the same person Jia Li told him about oncest year.


    The old man had noticed that the young man and his mother had eyes on Jia Li and had to bring Jia Li away from her town because he already had ns to make her marry Fu Hua.


    Butler Lu knew the situation very well and also wanted that woman from the Bai family to be taught a lesson.

 Chapter 188 - Grandfather Fu Pays The Bai Family A Visit

    <h4>Chapter 188 - Grandfather Fu Pays The Bai Family A Visit</h4>


    Fortunately, Grandfather Fu heard his thoughts and gave out an instruction.


    "Lu, get the car ready, I''m going to pay the Bai family a visit!"


    "Yes, Sir!" Butler Lu replied and left the study immediately.


    15 minutester, Grandfather Fu had already changed out of his clothes to an official one before stepping outside with Butler Lu.


    Outside the house, about 4 convoys with some soldiers were already waiting for the old man.


    As Grandfather Fu approached the car in the middle, a soldier opened the car door for him and he climbed into the car.


    Butler Lu got inside the front passenger seat of the same car as Grandfather Fu and the 5 cars with escorts, made their way out of the Fu mansion.


    Grandfather Fu had a frosty look throughout the journey.


    When their car approached the gates of the Bai family, the security at the gate didn''t ask questions when they saw an emblem of the Fu family and military symbol on the cars.


    Without dy, they went against their protocol and let the cars drive-in, in fear of offending them. They were shocked because of the identity of the person that came to visit without notice.


    When the Bai family members got the news of his arrival from their security team, they panicked a little and quickly rushed outside to wee, while guessing the purpose of his visit.


    Old Mrs. Bai was helped outside by Bai Fen, as her other two daughters-inw followed behind them. Then men in their house were already out for business.


    Grandfather Fu stepped out of the car as a soldier held the car door open for him, while Butler Lu came to stand beside him.


    "Old General, to what do we owe this grand visit from you?" Old Mrs. Bai asked with a smile even when she saw the frown on the old man''s face.


    "Mother, shouldn''t we be inviting the Old General inside to sit and have some tea?" Bai Fen suggested with a smile. It was also a reminder to her mother-inw.


    "Aiyah! Look at me! I have gotten so old that I forgot my ethics and manners." Old Mrs. Bai said as she smiled, then she nced at the old man who hasn''t said a word since he arrived, and said to him...


    "Old general, don''t mind my manners, pleasee inside and have some tea first."


    "I am not here to sit and have tea with your family." Grandfather Fu said in a cold tone as he nced at the women of the Bai family with deep annoyance.


    Hearing his cold tone, the smiled on the women''s faces disappearedpletely. They began to wonder how they had offended him.


    Bai Fen on the other hand was afraid. Her heart skipped a beat as she thought of the reason that could have brought the old man to the Bai family in anger.


    ''Did my n not work? Why is he here looming all pissed off? Could it be to warn me?'' Bai Fen thought as her heartbeat raced faster.


    "I drove straight from my house to this ce. To give you the Bai family thest warning about matters concerning my family." Grandfather Fu said as he pointed at them.


    Old Mrs. Bai looked confused as she asked, "Old General, please calm down and exin things to us. How did we offend you?"


    "Why don''t you ask that good daughter-inw of yours that dares to use and embarrass my precious granddaughter-inw publicly while dining with her childhood friend?!"


    Old Mrs. Bai nced at Bai Fen who was still holding unto her arms. The other two daughters-inw of the Bai family nced over at Bai Fen as well.


    "Mrs. Bai, you are the wife of myte friend, and this is the reason I drove straight to your house to warn you and your entire family. Stay away from my family! Fu Hua is already married! And the Bai and the Fu families can never be rted by marriage! If I see any of you acting some shameless as to cross the line, I will deal with the entire Bai family ordingly without regards!"


    After saying these words to them, Grandfather Fu climbed into the car so as Butler Lu and the soldiers that came with him, before their cars left their sight.


    After Grandfather Fu left, Old Mrs. Bai pushed Bai Fen''s hands away and asked in an authoritative tone, "What did you do to provoke the sleeping tiger?" ????


    Bai Fen was guilty but not sorry for her actions, but for now, she had to pretend to be. "Mother, I didn''t do anything much! I only scolded that girl that snatched Bai Jun''s ce as Fu Hua''s wife. She was acting so intimate with the so-called childhood friend. I was only afraid she would tarnish the image of the Fu family and scolded her a bit, who knew she was shameless enough to report to the old man."


    The oldest daughter-inw nced at Bai Fen and said to her with a frown, "Bai Fen, it is not your ce to scold a member of the Fu family or do you want to bury the entire Bai family with your foolishness?!"


    "Do you have to insult me, why don''t you talk properly?!" Bai Fen spoke angrily to the first daughter-inw of the Bai family.


    "Look who dares to scold a daughter of the Bai family, you need to scold yourself first. And don''t tell me you nearly got our family into trouble because you still have ideas about making Fu Hua marry your daughter?" The third daughter-inw of the Bai family asked with a smile.


    "Who told you that?!" Bai Fen asked in a fierce tone.


    Before any of them could speak up again, Old Mrs. Bai turned to Bai Fen to warn her in an annoyed tone.


    "Bai Fen, Did you listen to what the Old general said? You''d better stop having ideas and stop hoping that you can get Bai Jun to marry into the Fu family even more about being married to Fu Hua. From this minute, abort those hrious ideas before you bury our entire Bai Family because of your foolish acts!"


    "But mother, Bai Jun has suffered a lot, how do I exin things to her?" Bai Fen asked in a worried tone.


    "Leave it to me! I will exin things to my granddaughter when shees back. I will help her find a suitor as good as the sons of the Fu family if that''s what she wants." Old Mrs.Bai said.


    Bai Fen became rmed as she watched the old woman turn around to walk away.


    ''There was no way she would let go of her ideas on the Fu family and especially on Fu Hua!'' Bai Fen thought before walking inside the house with the others.

 Chapter 189 - ...if Thats All You Got

    <h4>Chapter 189 - ...if That''s All You Got</h4>


    After dealing with the Bai family, Grandfather Fu only felt satisfied after he got back home. He immediately called Jia Li to cate her as he stepped into his study.


    "Jia Li, I have warned the Bai family to stay away from you. If anyone dares to trouble you, don''t hesitate to tell Fu Hua or me about it. Don''t suffer alone when you have people around you who are ready to help." Grandfather Fu said to her.


    "Okay, grandfather, thank you!" Jia Li said gratefully.


    "There is no problem Take care of yourself, eat properly and rest on time." Grandfather Fu reminded her in a kind tone.


    "I will grandfather, take care of your health and remember to eat your meal on time." Jia Li said to him with a happy smile.


    "I will listen to you." Grandfather Fu happily.


    After the call, Fu Hua was sitting on his desk in the study, asked Jia Li who was sitting on a stool with a painting brush, "Why do you sound so happy?"


    "Grandfather Fu cares a lot about me!" Jia Li replied with a smile.


    "Don''t I care for you as well?" Fu Hua asked as he abandoned everything he was doing and waited patiently for her response.


    "You do." Jia Li said as she agreed with him.


    "Then why do I not see you smiling like this to me?" Fu Hua asked with a curious gaze.


    "No reason!" Jia Li replied and continued with her painting.


    "You are biased." Fu Hua said and went back to his work.


    Jia Li didn''t seem bothered until she remembered her school project. She slowly looked over to see Fu Hua busy with his work.


    Just now, she took over his role of giving short replies and she was quite confident as well. Now she needs his help. She has to muster up the courage to be shameless enough to ask about it.


    Fu Hua noticed her gaze on him and asked without looking up, "Why are you staring at me?"


    "I wanted to remind you about my school project." Jia Li replied.


    "Go and meet grandfather for it." Fu Hua said while ncing at her, then he fixed his gaze back on his work.


    "Why are you acting this way?" Jia Li asked with a frown.


    "Since grandfather makes you happy, why don''t you go to him? I have a hugepany to run." Fu Hua said with creased brows.


    He was truly jealous of her words. How could she prefer his grandfather to him, her husband? That was an error.


    "But I said you make me happy as well!" Jia Li grumbled.


    If she knew things woulde to this, she would have tried to control her mouth from blurting out words that would make him jealous. Now, she has to deal with it.


    "Did you say that, howe I can''t remember?" Fu Hua asked with a confused gaze.


    Jia Li finally came to the conclusion that she had to cate him since he seemed offended. "Fu Hua, I''m sorry!"


    "This is not something an apology will solve. Don''t distract me, I''m going through the financial records." Fu Hua said as he looked away from her.


    Jia Li but her lower lip and fiddled with the brush in her hand before keeping it aside. What was the essence of trying to paint something new when she had a pending project?


    Jia Li made slow steps towards Fu Hua and she didn''t look up the whole time. She wanted to bribe him but didn''t know what to bribe him with.


    An idea came to her mind but it was a shameless act to her. Since she knew he liked things like that, she had to do it to make him happy.


    Now standing beside him, Jia Li hugged his neck and called out to him softly, "Fu Hua..."


    Fu Hua was distracted as her scent assaulted his nostrils and with her hugging his neck, he couldn''t continue working. He took a deep breath before turning to look at her.


    "What are you up to? Do you know the consequences of distracting me?" Fu Hua asked.


    Jia Li blinked her round eyes and that made her look like a pitiable doll.


    "No, I''m not going to fall for that. Go and sit over there if that''s all you got." Fu Hua said while pointing at the chair that was positioned at her working spot.


    He knew she wanted to use his weak point. He had just told her earlier that he didn''t like to see her cry, and now she was acting all pitiful. It will be a loss if he fell for her tricks.


    Although he has acknowledged to himself that he likes her, still, he couldn''t ept a huge loss. She would have to try something else if she wanted to get his attention.


    Jia Li saw that her trick wasn''t working and frowned while wondering if he didn''t care about her acting all pitiable.


    Since he mentioned she should try something else, Jia Li took a deep breath and exhaled before lowering her face to kiss his cheek.


    Fu Hua smiled to himself but nced at her with a frown. "Do you know what you''re asking me for? I am the CEO of FJ Styles and you need my help with your school project, you have to put more effort and sincerity in your actions."


    "You..." Jia Li said with an annoyed look as she thought, ''What more does he want?''


    "I''m not forcing you." Fu Hua reminded her as he hid the smile on his face. He liked to see her annoyed look because it made her look cute.


    Jia Li couldn''t re at him, after all, she offended him first and she was the one that wanted something from him.


    After thinking for a while about what she should do, an idea came to Jia Li''s mind.


    Since she still had her hands over his neck, she caressed his shoulders like the way he does to her, before lowering her face to kiss his cheek.


    This time around, she didn''t stop there. From his cheek, she moved to the corner of his lips, as her hands went to his face to caress it.


    The smile on his face couldn''t be hidden when he felt his wife''s touch and kisses. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the pleasure he was getting from her little actions.

 Chapter 190 - ...the Expert Works Of Fu Huas Hands

    <h4>Chapter 190 - ...the Expert Works Of Fu Hua''s Hands</h4>


    From the corner of his lips, Jia Li moved her lips to meet his. She kissed the surface of his lips softly, and that was it.


    The passion that was being ignited, slowly faded off, leaving Fu Hua unsatisfied. And how could he let her go now?


    Jia Li didn''t know how to give a deep kiss, so she stopped after kissing his lips. She was about to leave his lips when she felt the back of Fu Hua''s hand, hold the back of her hand and pull her face back to him, and before she could blink her eyes, her lips were captured and devoured by the passionate man.


    Fu Hua kissed her deeply as his hot tongue prated and explored the insides of her mouth.


    Jia Li''s eyes met the hot gaze of Fu Hua while he was still kissing her. That fiery passion in his eyes couldn''t be misced.


    Jia Li had to shut her eyes because of the tinge she felt in the lower part of her body.


    Fu Hua caressed her neck as he moved his hand to hug her before pulling her to sit on his thighs, saving her from the ufortable position.


    Jia Li let out a yelp when she was suddenly pulled to sit on his thighs but it was swallowed by the kiss.


    Fu Hua''s hands roamed all over her upper body while his hot tongue moved from her lips to her jaw, and then to her neck. He kissed and licked them.


    The fire Jia Li was trying to suppress couldn''t stand the expert works of Fu Hua''s hands. She slowly circled her arms around his neck while enjoying his kisses and touches.


    Fu Hua slowly opened his eyes and started to unbutton Jia Li''s shirt. Jia Li came back to her senses and clutched his fingers to let her shirt off, and he did surprisingly.


    Fu Hua put his hands under Jia Li''s shirt and touched the skin on her waist as he slowly caressed them and went back to kissing her lips.


    Jia Li moaned softly and moved her butts on hisps, and that was when she felt his arousal.


    If Jia Li was asked to exin how their positions leveled up to this state, she doesn''t think she could exin what happened.


    As Fu Hua caressed her waist, he moved his hands to her stomach. His hands were gentle when he got there, as if he remembered his child, and was spending a little moment with it.


    Fu Hua bit Jia Li''s lips gently before shoving his tongue back to her mouth to entangle with hers.


    Jia Li moaned into his mouth and moved her butts a little. She felt his hard erection move under her, and she became more aroused to the extent that the ce in-between her legs started to hurt.


    Fu Hua''s hands went to her back and slowly caressed her, before unsping her bra.


    Jia Li felt the weight of her breasts after her bra came loose. She slowly let go of Fu Hua as she stared at him with her misty eyes.


    Fu Hua nced at her with his deep sexy gaze without saying anything. Jia Li''s looks were enough to keep the fire burning in him.


    With his gaze still on her, he took his hands off her clothes and started to unbutton her shirt. Jia Li nced at the movement of his fingers and only moved her gaze back to him after he opened her shirt.


    Fu Hua broke the gaze as he peered at her body with appreciation before he slowly took her shirt off. Next, he took her bra off and put it on his desk.


    Now, Jia Li was bare-chested before him.


    Fu Hua kissed the surface of her boobs as he slowly reached out to lose her hair that was styled in a bun.


    When her long silky ck hair fell behind, Fu Hua took a few seconds to admire the beauty before him.


    Jia Li was shy because of his heated gaze on her. She didn''t have any thoughts on stopping him because she had already submitted to him.


    "Take off my shirt." Fu Hua said to her as he ced her palms on his chest. He gazed at her passionately with thoughts of devouring her in his mind.


    His little brother was already hard and ready to prate her but he didn''t want to be aggressive with her. She was still innocent, and she was carrying his child, so he optioned to be gentle even though he couldn''t wait to bury all of him inside of her.


    Jia Li obeyed his instruction and started to take off his shirt, while he watched her passionately.


    Without waiting for further instructions, Jia dumped his shirt on his desk and brought her fingers to caress his bare chest.


    Fu Hua''s chest was sturdy and as Jia Li''s fingers touched his nipples and her butt adjusted her sitting position on him, he let out a groan as he hugged her waist.


    Jia Li could feel his member poking her butt hard and she closed her eyes andid in his embrace to enjoy the sensation. Now both of their upper bodies were naked, and they could feel each other''s hot skin.


    Jia Li didn''t know what was wrong with her. For the first time, she wanted to explore on her own without bothering about being shy. Fu Hua on the other hand liked the idea of her taking lead.


    Fu Hua kissed her cheeks as his hand slowly caressed her back. His eyes were closed as he imagined the naughty things he would do to her.


    Slowly, he moved his fingers inside her pants and went straight to caress the ce in between her thighs. He noticed that she was already wet, and he concluded that she wanted him as much as he did.


    Jia Li moaned and rubbed her boobs on him. Out of instinct, she kissed his neck and followed the method he always used to pleasure her.


    Within seconds, Jia Li was already in her panties. She remembered something and quickly asked, "Fu Hua can...can we go to the bedroom?"


    She has just recalled that they were in the study, and she found it improper to do that kind of stuff there.

 Chapter 191 - Lovemaking On The Couch

    <h4>Chapter 191 - Lovemaking On The Couch</h4>


    "No, we will do it here." Fu Hua insisted as he carried her to the couch.


    He didn''t think he would still have the patience to wait till they got to the room.


    When her back touched the soft couch, Fu Hua started to unbuckle his belt while breathing heavily.


    "What if someonees in?" Jia Li asked worried as she gazed at him with her misty eyes.


    "No one would dare to disturb us." Fu Hua said as he dumped his belt on the floor and pulled his trousers and briefs down a little, before leaning over Jia Li.


    He kissed the ce in between her legs, as she still had her panties on. Jia Li moaned out and grabbed his hair as she tried closing her legs, but Fu Hua caught them and separated them.


    He raised his head to look at her and a satisfactorily glint appeared on his face. He took off her panties and quickly buried his face in-between her legs, as he licked and sucked her.


    Jia Li let out a loud moan as he licked her clit and sucked her VJ. She let out a soft cry when he started eating her and grazing his teeth gently on her sensitive areas.


    Jia Li caressed his hair with her eyes closed and let out soft cries as he continued to eat her. She started to y with him when she couldn''t take it anymore.


    Fu Hua licked her before blowing air inside her. Jia Li couldn''t take it anymore and pushed his head aside and put her hand in-between her legs and close them as she moaned.


    "You can''t take it." Fu Hua said as he chuckled softly. His member was beginning to throb painfully, so he knew he couldn''t continue to pleasure her.


    "I will give you what you want." Fu Hua said as he adjusted her position and forced her legs apart.


    With one hand, he held bother of her hands above her head, before using the other hand to guide his member into her.


    Jia Li gasped and let out a moan when he entered her. Fu Hua on the other hand let out a groan and began to breathe heavily as he started to move in and out of her slowly.


    Jia Li moaned and struggled to set her hands free from his hold, but she failed.


    "I''m going to let your hands off, don''t push me away." Fu Hua instructed in a hoarse voice as he continued to move in and out of her.


    Jia Li nodded inpliance as their body danced to one tone ????


    Fu Hua let her hands off and moved his lips to her breast to kiss and suck her erect nipples that have been waiting for his touch.


    Jia Li managed to peer at him with her half-closed eyes as she bit her lips before moving her hands to caress his hair and back.


    "I want more..." Jia Li demanded in a soft tone as she felt the waves of pleasure hit her. She wanted more of him, and he granted her request by increasing his pace.


    Fu Hua began to move in and out of her at a faster pace as he raised his head to look at her with a sexy gaze.


    Jia Li let out soft cried when he repeatedly hit her G-spot. Fu Hua groaned and continued to hit her G-spot happily.


    When he felt she was reaching her climax, he pulled out of her and quickly entered her again before she could understand what just happened.


    Jia Li gasped as a result of his actions.


    Fu Hua continued to move in and out of her at a faster rate while caressing and showering her with kisses.


    Jia Li was not left behind, she caressed the part of his body that was within her reach, and weed him wholeheartedly whenever he reached out to kiss her lips.


    Both of them continued with their passionate lovemaking till they both reached their climax.


    Fu Hua released his seed in her of her as he groaned. Jia Li moaned and fell on the couch with her back against the couch.


    A few secondster, Fu Hua pulled out of her and locked gazes with her. Then he proceeded to lean over to kiss her lips passionately.


    After kissing her for a while, he nced at her with his eyes still burning passionately. The fire in his eyes was still burning strongly.


    Fu Huaid beside her on the couch. The couch wasn''t wide enough to contain them both very well, but with their bodies sticking to each other, they could manage.


    Jia Li''s back was against Fu Hua''s chest, and she could feel his member slowly rising and poking her butts.


    She let out a soft moan. Her brain was currently in a mess, as she didn''t know the hungry wolf wanted to have another round with her.


    Fu Hua breathed in her scent as he moved his hands to caress her breasts. He yed with them for a while and even went ahead to pinch them.


    "It''s painful." Jia Li said in a painful cry.


    Herints were enough to stop Fu Hua from being rough. He caressed her body gently, before moving his fingers in-between her legs without warning.


    Jia Li gasped and closed her legs tightly with his fingers still trapped there.


    "Open your legs." Fu Hua whispered inmandment and bit her earlobe gently.


    Jia Li followed his instructions and opened her legs for him to gain ess to her.


    "Good girl." Fu Hua whispered as he explored her honey trap with his fingers and kissed her ear.


    Jia Li let out a moan as he continued to touch her clit while his member was still poking her butts. She was starting to want him inside of her again.


    Fu Hua put two of his fingers inside of her and started to move in and out of her. He fingered while kissing her at the same time, as Jia Li continued to moan.


    This went on for a short while before Fu Hua entered her from behind. Jia Li gasped, and he started moving in and out of her, with his fingers caressing her clit.


    Jia Li touched her breasts and leaned her back towards him as she closed her eyes and cried softly.


    <i></i>


    She felt something was wrong with her as waves of passion hit her strongly. She bit her lips and moaned his name.


    Fu Hua groaned and increased his pace. He kissed her ear and continued to caress her clit till they both found their release.


    Jia Li was gasping for breath after that, and so was Fu Hua who pulled out of her andy beside her, before pulling her to rest her head on his chest.

 Chapter 192 - Groping And Touching

    <h4>Chapter 192 - Groping And Touching</h4>


    After resting for a while, Fu Hua reached out his hand to grab her butts but Jia Li hit it off.


    "I''m tired and hungry!" She whined like a child ????


    "Let''s get you cleaned up." Fu Hua said as he pulled her up with him.


    Jia Li avoided eye contact with him. It was now that she came back to her senses. She was embarrassed that they did it in the workshop, and the embarrassing things Fu Hua did to her.


    While she was lost in thought, Fu Hua kissed her cheek before putting on his briefs, then he picked up Jia Li''s clothes and handed them to her.


    "Put them on." He said.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li said as she took her clothes from him.


    She was still embarrassed and felt weird that he was going to watch her change into her clothes. But knowing fully well that it would be better to put some clothes on than stay naked, she hurried to get dressed.


    Fu Hua finished dressing before her and stood while watching her button her shirt from thest button.


    He smiled and leaned over to kiss her lips with his palms on her cheeks.


    Jia Li was taken aback by his actions and looked surprised. When Fu Hua finally let her go, she asked, "We did...did it twice, are you not satisfied?"


    "How can I be satisfied, we just did it twice, it''s not enough." Fu Hua whispered and then kissed her forehead before ncing at her with a smile.


    ''He''s still not satisfied?'' Jia Li thought with horror written all over her face ????


    "Why do you look shocked?" Fu Hua asked with a smirk as he sat beside her on the couch.


    Jia Li went on to ignore him and quickly buttoned her shirt to the very top.


    "Don''t be afraid, I promise not to hurt you, and will bring you endless pleasures just like today." Fu Hua whispered to her and kissed the side of her neck after that.


    Jia Li was afraid of him and quickly stood up with her long hair flowing behind her. Shepletely looked different from her usual innocent look. She looked more alluring now.


    Fu Hua was having fun watching her, especially her reactions whenever he teased her.


    Jia Li couldn''t find words to say to him. She turned on her heels and went straight to his work desk in search of something.


    "What are you looking for?" Fu Hua asked while standing to his feet.


    "My hairband, where did you drop it?" Jia Li asked as she used one hand to hold her hair and stop it from blocking her view.


    "I don''t know." Fu Hua replied without care. He didn''t want her to find the hairband because he liked to see her with her hair down.


    "But you took it off my hair." Jia Li said with her gaze on him as she was starting to get annoyed.


    "You look more beautiful with your hair this way, why do you like hiding it away?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Because it gets in my way." Jia Li replied and turned around to continue searching for her hairband on his desk.


    Although she looked more beautiful with her long hair down, it would be annoying if it kept getting in her way in the middle of work.


    Fu Hua walked towards his table. He moved his seat ???? away and bent down to pick up the hairband that was lying there, and handed it to Jia Li.


    Jia Li heaved a sigh and took it from him. She didn''t know what to say to him. He had known where it was all this while but he deliberately dyed helping her search for it.


    Back to their bedroom, Jia Li took a shower first, before Fu Hua went in after her.


    When he emerged from the bathroom, Jia Li was sitting in front of the mirror and was about to apply some hair cream to her hair.


    "I will help you with that." Fu Hua said as he approached her with a towel wrapped around his waist.


    "Umm... why don''t you get dressed first?" Jia Li suggested with a half-smile.


    Fu Hua epted her suggestion and dressed in some new clothes beforeing over to help her apply the hair cream to her long hair.


    Fu Hua followed Jia Li''s instructions on applying the hair cream to her hair andbing it. Then Fu Hua watched Jia Li pack her hair in a bun.


    After tidying up, they went straight to the dining room to have some food.


    The next day, Fu Hua took a day off from work and took Jia Li to shop for materials and fabrics for her project.


    While shopping, Jia Li learned a lot from Fu Hua about fabrics because he exined a lot of things to her while selecting the suitable fabrics.


    "I would have taken you to FJ''s factory, but that will be at an appropriate time or when you get into FJ, someone will take you there." Fu Hua said to her.


    From the factory, they shopped for other materials before going back home.


    Jia Li was already exhausted when they got home. She took a break as they had lunch before Fu Hua dragged her into the workshop to start working on her school project.


    "Which measurements will you use?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.


    "The usual." Jia Li replied.


    "Not eptable, we will go with yours." Fu Hua said as he took the measuring tape from her desk, and was ready to measure her.


    "Why are we going with my size?" Jia Li asked, a little confused.


    "Why do you have to use the usual measurements?" Fu Hua asked with a serious gaze.


    Jia Li was silent as she got his reason. She has no actual reason for using the usual measurements she''s been going with, and so has Fu Hua. There was no reason to use her measurement.


    Jia Li agreed obediently and spread her arms for Fu Hua to start taking her measurements.


    A minute into the measurement-taking section, Jia had a frown on her face.


    ''What''s with all the groping and touching?'' Jia Li thought.

 Chapter 193 - Run Some Tests

    <h4>Chapter 193 - Run Some Tests</h4>


    When measuring her bust size, Fu Hua groped her chest and even squeezed them gently. And when Jia Li was about toin, he wrapped the tape around her burst to take her measurement with a serious facial expression.


    While taking her hip measurement, he hugged her and groped her butts.


    Jia Li couldn''t take it anymore and pushed him away. "You...You... what are you doing?"


    "I''m taking your measurements. What do you think I''m doing?" Fu Hua asked with a serious look.


    "You keep groping my ass and my boobs, and you touch me all over. Is that part of taking my measurements?" Jia Li asked.


    "This is how the husband''s with the same profession as me take their wife''s measurements. It''s quite fun!" Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li closed her eyes and opened them again. She didn''t have the strength to argue with him. She let him finish the measurements, before going to sit.


    After putting down her measurements, it was time to start cutting the fabrics ording to the measurements he took.


    Jia Li sat and watched him get busy with work. He looked very serious while cutting the fabrics with the scissors, and he looked very professional with his hand movements.


    Jia Li who had the project, while she sat and watched the CEO of FJ, do the work for her.


    Fu Hua didn''t joke with her while working. He only talked when it was necessary because he was teaching her as well.


    When he was done with cutting the fabrics, he nced at Jia Li. "We have to go and see your doctor an hour from now, so we can''t start sewing up all of these."


    Initially, Fu Hua scheduled her appointment with her doctor in the morning but he called to move it up as he had to take her to the factory.


    "It''s snowing already." Jia Li said as she looked out through the window.


    Fu Hua followed her gaze and nced out through the window to see it was snowing.


    "We have to leave now before it bes heavier." Fu Hua said to her.


    Twenty minutester, Jia Li and Fu Hua were dressed up properly. Jia Li looked like a mummy because Fu Hua helped her to get dressed.


    He was worried she would catch a cold and ended up wrapping her in a lot of clothes.


    Jia Li could notin because she knew he had her best interests at heart.


    Jia was wearing a long-sleeved flower-patterned gown with a ck host underneath.


    A pair of knee-length short-heeled boots were on her feet, a hair warmer covered her hair. A muffler was wrapped around her neck, and a pair of ck gloves ???? covered her hands ????.


    As if that was not enough, Fu Hua put on a thick fur jacket toplete the mummy look.


    On their way to the hospital, Fu Hua stopped by the side to buy some snacks for her.


    Jia Li was very happy when he handed the bag to her. Her happiness spread to Fu Hua, who smiled and asked, "You like food so much?"


    "The baby is hungry." Jia Li said as she started eating the hot buns. She also held it up to Fu Hua''s lips so he could have a bite but he refused her.


    "It''s for you and the baby." He said to her with a warm smile before fixing his gaze on the road.


    Jia Li finished the buns and hot milk before they got to the hospital, and she looked very satisfied.


    It was a private hospital with a calm serene that Fu Hua brought them to. Outside the building, a middle-aged nurse was waiting for them.


    "Mr. Fu?" The nurse asked with a smile as she gazed at Fu Hua and Jia Li.


    "Yes." Fu Hua acknowledged.


    "Mr. and Mrs. Fu, you''re wee. Dr. Clinton has been waiting for your arrival." The nurse said before leading them inside the building.


    The private hospital was not big. It looked so simple from the outside but anyone that stepped into the building will be amazed and agree that it was a top-notch hospital.


    Fu Hua held Jia Li''s hand as the nurse walked ahead of them.


    "Are you cold?" Fu Hua asked in a gentle tone.


    "No." Jia Li replied.


    When they arrived at the door, there was a namete on it, with the name, ''Dr. Clinton''. The nurse knocked twice before pushing the door open. She led Jia Li and Fu Hua in.


    "Dr. Clinton, this is Mr. Fu." The nurse said to the female doctor in herte 40s who seemed to be the upant of that office.


    The doctor looked like she was an Asian-American and that was so. She was mixed.


    "Hello, Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu, please have a seat." The doctor said to them with a smile as she stretched her hand out for a handshake.


    Fu Hua shook hands with the doctor and Jia Li took her gloves off and shook hands with the doctor as well.


    "Please take a seat." Dr. Clinton said to them while gesturing to the seats in front of her desk.


    "Your grandfather asked me toe over and stay till his granddaughter-inw delivers her child, and I''m guessing you''re the one, Mrs. Fu." The doctor said as her smiling gaze met with Jia Li.


    "Yes." Jia Li nodded in acknowledgment.


    "Did you bring your medical reports andst scan from the former hospital?" Dr. Clinton asked.


    "Yes, I did." Jia Li replied as she took out thest scan and her medical reports before passing them to the nurse on the side.


    When the reports got to the doctor''s hands, she nced at them for a while, before handing them over to Jia Li.


    "Everything seems fine but we still have to run some tests." Dr. Clinton said to them.


    Fu Hua asked about the tests and the doctor replied to him, and also exined some things to him.


    When it was time for the test, the nurse took Jia Li to a side room that was demarcated with a light blue curtain.


    Dr.. Clinton fixed the survival gloves in her hands before going on, leaving only Fu Hua in the room.

 Chapter 194 - Do You Like Women Like Me?

    <h4>Chapter 194 - Do You Like Women Like Me?</h4>


    A few minutester, Fu Hua heard Jia Li''s scream and immediately rushed into the inner room. He saw the doctor and the nurse and beside them was Jia Li who was lying on the bed with her legs open.


    Jia Li nced over at him and covered her eyes with her palms. She was embarrassed that he had to see her that way.


    "What''s going on?" Fu Hua questioned with his gaze on the doctor.


    The doctor and the nurse were still surprised that he would walk in on them. He really shocked them.


    "Mr. Fu, please wait outside, we will call you in when I''m done checking on her." Dr. Clinton said to him as she gestured for him to leave.


    Fu Hua nced at Jia Li to make sure she was okay but thetter was still hiding away from him, so he walked out.


    While waiting outside, he couldn''t help but be anxious because he could only hear hushed voicesing from them, he really couldn''t hear what they were saying.


    After a while of waiting impatiently, the nurse came out to call him in.


    "Mr. Fu, here is your child." Dr. Clinton said while pointing to the monitor while moving the device on Jia Li''s abdomen.


    Fu Hua came to stand beside Jia Li with his gaze fixed on the monitor. He stared at the little bean the doctor pointed at the screen and asked, "Why does it look that way?"


    Jia Li nced at him with amusement. She has just been enjoying the feeling of looking at her child when be blurted out that statement and she found it funny.


    "Your child is 2 months, so it''s still small." Dr. Clinton exined with a smile.


    "Oh! how many months does she have till the childbirth?" Fu Hua asked curiously.


    "8 months." Dr. Clinton replied.


    Fu Hua frowned and nced at Jia Li. He was not quite happy knowing that she still had 8 more months till the birth of their child.


    ''That''s a long time.'' He thought.


    When they all came back to the doctor''s office, she talked to them for a while.


    "Mr. Fu, your wife needs to stay away from stress and it''s necessary. You looked tired when you two stepped in." Dr. Clinton advised her gaze on them.


    Jia Li wanted to protests that she still had a project she was working on but Fu Hua grabbed her hand and squeezed it gently. And instinctively, Jia Li shut her mouth.


    When they left the doctor''s office, they went straight to the pharmacy downstairs to buy more drugs rmended by the doctor.


    When they got back home, Jia Li and Fu Hua had dinner before going to their bedroom.


    After washing up, Jia Li went toy on the bed in her pajamas. Fu Hua came into the room some minutester and joined her under the duvet.


    He hugged Jia Li and brought her into his arms. They locked gazes before he lowered his lips to kiss her forehead.


    "I...I have something to talk about." Jia Li said in a soft tone as she gazed at him.


    "What do you want to talk about Fu Hua asked as he put his hands inside her clothes and caressed her back.


    ''He''s at it again!'' Jia Li thought ?????¡â?


    "Can we not do this often?" Jia Li asked.


    "Do what?" Fu Hua asked, not understanding what she meant.


    "S*x" Jia Li replied. She wished he understood her words so she doesn''t have to exin again because she was embarrassed about using that word.


    "Why do you say so?" Fu Hua asked with an interesting gaze.


    "When the doctor was checking today, she said something about being sexually active. I think she knows we did it recently." Jia Li whispered.


    Recalling the scene at the Dr. Office made her blush. She found it embarrassing that an outsider knows about her sexual activity.


    "There is nothing wrong with her knowing about it, we are a couple." Fu Hua said as he kissed her forehead.


    "But it''s embarrassing." Jia Li whined and buried her face in his chest.


    Fu Hua smiled and said to her, "It''s not embarrassing, but I will listen to you. I will not touch you a day or two days before we go to see the doctor, is that okay?"


    "Mmmm... thank you!" Jia Li said with her face still buried in his chest.


    Talking to Fu Hua about their sexual activities was embarrassing. It took her a lot of courage to bring it up.


    "What did the doctor do to you?" Fu Hua asked as he continued to caress her bareback. He had just remembered the scene from when he stepped into the inner room. He was not happy with what he saw.


    "She put her fingers inside me." Jia Li answered as she ced her hand on his chest.


    "Why did she do that?" Fu Hua asked as he stopped with his hand movement. There was a visible frown on his face.


    "It''s called pelvic exam." Jia Li revealed and began to exin everything about the examination.


    "...that''s how she knew about our sexual activity." Jia Li said to him.


    "Jia Li it''s not bad if she knows about your sexual activity, since it''s important because of your health, although I''m unhappy that someone else had to touch you there." Fu Hua said as he slipped his hand inside her PJ and grabbed her butts.


    Jia Li let out a gasp out of shock. His hands were beginning to wander too far.


    Thinking of something, Jia Li looked up at him and asked in a soft tone, "Do you like women like me?"


    Fu Hua was taken aback by her question and met his gaze. "What is wrong with women like you?" He asked.


    "I...I mean, do you like my...my body?" Jia Li asked with a serious facial expression.


    "Why are you asking that?" Fu Hua asked as he squeezed her butt cheek. He didn''t know where all those questions wereing from.


    Jia Li looked away from him and put her face back on his chest and said, "I have a different body size and shape from your ex-girlfriend. I''m sure you liked her before but I''m not sure you like me."


    A frown appeared on Fu Hua''s face but his hand didn''t stop caressing her butts.

 Chapter 195 - Getting The Female Lead Role

    <h4>Chapter 195 - Getting The Female Lead Role</h4>


    "I like everything about you and don''t mention that woman again." Fu Hua said as his tone sounded cold.


    Jia Li didn''t observe that his tone was cold as she was more excited with the fact that he said he liked everything about her.


    She nced at him with a smile as she tried to confirm if he meant his words, "Really? Do you like my body?"


    Jia Li was insecure because she wasn''t slim like a model but she wasn''t fat either. She only had a little more flesh from the normal size 8.


    She has always been bothered whenever she thought about his ex-girlfriend. They were two different worlds apart and she was worried he wouldn''t like her body.


    "I mean it. I don''t just like your body, I like you as well." Fu Hua confessed. Then it just dawned on him that he just confessed his true feelings to her without knowing.


    Jia Li''s eyes widened in surprise as a smile slowly appeared on her face.


    "You said you like me? Do you mean it?" Jia Li asked as she tried to get confirmation because she felt it was surreal.


    Fu Hua refused to reply to her. He took out his hand from her pants and pushed her head toy on his chest.


    Jia Li was stubborn and immediately raised her head again to ask the same question with curiosity.


    "Fu Hua, do you like me?" She asked.


    Fu Hua pushed her head back on his chest and threatened her. "If you continue to disturb me, I will assume that you have enough strength for one round tonight."


    His threat worked because Jia Liid on his chest and didn''t disturb him again.


    Fu Hua smiled and caressed her hair.


    "Sleep." He whispered before kissing her hair.


    The next morning, they had breakfast together before Fu Hua left for work. He gave her an assignment to do before hees back from work.


    He had received a call from his assistant that an important client had contacted him.


    The truth about the matter is that Grandfather Fu brought the wife of the president, the firstdy as a client to Fu Hua and that was his present to him, for his great-grandchild.


    Since the first Lady of Country X was FJ''s client, she was a VVIP that Fu Hua had to handle by himself.


    The result of their meeting was that the First Lady ordered a lot of dresses she liked before requesting for something unique to be tailored just for her.


    With the first Lady ordering a lot of their clothes and other products like their bags and shoes which were not made avable like their dresses, it was sure to give FJ a high boost. Because the First Lady would be wearing their products to many functions and that will be enough exposure again.


    Back at the Fu house, Fu Meixu received a call from her agency to discuss a coboration with a perfumepany.


    Thinking it was only just an ambassadorship deal, Fu Meixu went to her agency to meet with her Big Boss and her manager.


    Fu Meixu discovered that she not only got an ambassadorship deal but also got the main female lead role for the movie, ''The filmmaker''. That was the same movie she wanted to snatch from Zhi Ruo.


    ''My Grandfather is really capable.'' Fu Meixu thought as she smiled to herself.


    "This role was meant for Zhi Ruo and the director had formally discussed this with us, so how did the table turn around? Meixu, did you do anything?" The Boss of her agency asked as he stared keenly at her.


    Fu Meixu smiled sweetly and said to him, "I guess they found a lot of potential in me and thought they made a mistake before or maybe I''m just capable."


    Her words were enough for anyone to know that she disliked Zhi Ruo.


    Her manager exchanged nces with the Boss before they both fixed their gazes on her.


    Fu Meixu nced at them before asking, "It''s something wrong?"


    "Nothing. You can go back and wait for a while. Your manager will ask you toe over when we are ready to sign the two contracts." The Boss said.


    "Thank you, Boss." Fu Meixu said before leaving with her manager.


    "Meixu, you are really capable. You managed to snatch a big role from Zhi Ruo for such an important movie." Her manager said to her in wonder.


    "It''s all thanks to my cousin-sister-inw. It looks like I have to put more effort into our rtionship." Fu Meixu said with a happy smile before walking away.


    She knew she wouldn''t have gotten this role on her own because it has already been given to Zhi Ruo although the contract has not yet been signed.


    Because of her rtionship with Jia Li, Grandfather Fu considered it and issued amand and that''s how she got the role.


    All these were thanks to Jia Li. And now, she was thinking of how to improve her rtionship with Jia Li because of the benefits she was getting.


    3 hourster, Fu Meixu was holding the two contracts for the different coborations she just signed. One was for the movie and the other one was for the perfume deal.


    Fu Meixu was all smiles after she stepped out of the office with her manager. She took her time making her way to her manager''s office, as she watched the newbies spare nces at her from her peripheral view.


    "Why don''t you leave, go and rest and prepare for the filming." Her manager said to her.


    "I will leave in a bit, I just want to meet someone before I leave." Fu Meixu replied with a mysterious smile.


    Her manager couldn''t guess what she was thinking and so let her be.


    After a while, Fu Meixu received a notification from her phone. She opened the messages and read the short text.


    She smiled and got up and took her bag with her.


    "I''m leaving." She said to her manager before leaving.


    Since the person she has long been waiting for has arrived, of course, she had to leave....

 Chapter 196 - What Do You Think I Mean?

    <h4>Chapter 196 - What Do You Think I Mean?</h4>


    Zhi Ruo was already at the entrance of thepany and about to leave when Fu Meixu called out to her.


    "Zhi Ruo..." Fu Meixu called out with a smiling gaze.


    Zhi Ruo stopped in her steps with her assistant and turned around to nce at Fu Meixu. She was annoyed with whatever happened inside with her so she had no time to y games with anyone.


    "What is it?" Zhi Ruo asked with an annoyed gaze.


    Fu Meixu was especially happy that Zhi Ruo was already annoyed. Then she thought she should make her annoyed mood grander.


    "I came to greet you but why are you ring at me like that?" Fu Meixu asked as she came to stand in front of her with a smiling gaze.


    "Are you sure you came to greet me?" Zhi Ruo asked with raised brows. She didn''t believe that Fu Meixu woulde to greet her just like that, there must be a reason for it, she thought.


    "Sister Ruo, don''t listen to her. She is especially bad to you. She no longer addresses you as her senior and just calls your name out directly." Zhi Ruo''s little assistant pointed out with an unfriendly gaze.


    Fu Meixu chuckled softly with a hand over her mouth. "You''re just a little assistant, what do you know?"


    Fu Meixu nced at the angry Zhi Ruo and said, "Sister Zhi Ruo, I heard that you lost the female lead role that was given to you!"


    "How did you hear about it?" Zhi Ruo asked in surprise. No one else knows about this apart from the people at her side and the higher-ups, so how did Fu Meixue to hear of the news?


    "I have my sources." Fu Meixu said with a proud smile as she pats her hair. She was very happy with her progress to annoy her enemy.


    Zhi Ruo was quiet, and her assistant couldn''t take her being bullied by someone below her and so spoke up for her.


    "Although, Sister Zhi Ruo''s role was snatched by someone else, she was stillpensated for it. She just signed a contract with the director for the major secondary female lead role."


    Fu Meixu couldn''t helpughing out loud. "You said the female lead role was snatched from her but you are wrong. She hadn''t signed the contract for the female lead role, otherwise, how could that role be given to someone else so easily?"


    "What do you mean?" Zhi Ruo asked with a frown. She had a bad premonition about whatever Fu Meixu was going to say next.


    "What do you think I mean?" Fu Meixu asked with a broad smile.


    Zhi Ruo thought of something but she waved that thought aside. She didn''t think that was possible.


    "I will help you. Before you arrived, I had already signed the contract for the female lead role for ''The filmmaker'' it looks like you will have to pay a lot of respect to me while filming." Fu Meixu revealed with a proud smile as she watched their shocked gazes.


    Zhi Ruo was so shocked that she blurted out, "That''s impossible!"


    Fu Meixu enjoyed the afraid look on her face. Sheughed and said to her, "Well that''s possible. ording to your assistant, I am the actress that snatched your role from you. Good luck with being disheartened for several days!"


    Zhi Ruo and her assistant stared at Fu Meixu as she left in her car. They were still in shock with the revtion.


    "Sister Ruo, don''t listen to her, I think she is trying to pull your legs." Her assistant said to her.


    "I know Fu Meixu, she wouldn''t joke with things like this! But how can the director change roles at thest minute, and we were supposed to sign the contract for the female lead today!" Zhi Ruo cried out in anger.


    "Sister Ruo, Is this the reason you were offered the minor role without a need to audition?" Her assistant asked with a frown.


    Zhi Ruo who was currently boiling in rage nced at her assistant with a deathly re. She has just discovered that she has been cheated.


    She was asked to sign the contract directly without auditioning for the role aspensation, not knowing that the female lead has already been given to Fu Meixu. Had it been she had an idea about it, she would never have epted to star in that movie.


    How could she act as a second female lead in the same movie her junior and enemy, Fu Meixu would be ying the female lead? That was an error she couldn''t ept.


    Zhi Ruo went back inside the building with her assistant to question the big boss of their entertainmentpany, but the result was futile.


    He asked her to go and prepare for the filming and to read her script well.


    Zhi Ruo couldn''t believe the treatment she was receiving. She was an A-list actress and she has won so many awards for herself and thepany.


    Her fame brought glory to her agency, but why was she receiving his kind of treatment now?


    She was so pissed off that she blurted out... "Did Fu Meixu bribe you?"


    The Boss stared at her with an angry gaze. Zhi Ruo''s manager was the one that apologized to the big boss on her behalf before dragging her out from that office.


    "You were already leaving, why did youe back?" Her manager asked with a frown.


    "Why won''t Ie back after I found out my role was given to that bitch?!" Zhi Ruo said angrily.


    "Shhh... lower your voice. You don''t want your juniors to hear you curse around." Her manager reminded her.


    "Should that be my problem? Did you know about my role being given to Fu Meixu?" Zhi Ruo asked with her gaze on her manager.


    "I don''t know about it. I''m just hearing it from you, and I''m really shocked to hear that. But Zhi Ruo, you have to go back into that office and apologize to the boss, you were very rude to him." Her manager said with a frown.


    "There is no way I''m going back there!" Zhi Ruo said and walked away angrily with her little assistant following behind her.


    Her manager sighed before going back to the big boss''s office to apologize to him for the second time.

 Chapter 197 - Fu YingPeis Unhappiness

    <h4>Chapter 197 - Fu YingPei''s Unhappiness</h4>


    Fu Meixu was so happy as she was driving. She wanted to celebrate but she couldn''t for now until the announcement was made official in her agency''s post, and also from the director.


    Fu Meixu called Jia Li over the phone to ask her out but thetter was busy with her school project, so she had to go back home.


    On getting to the house, she announced the good news to her mother and they both celebrated.


    "Have you thanked your grandfather yet?" Fu ChunHua asked with a smile.


    "Not yet." Fu Meixu replied with a smile.


    "What are you waiting for? Hurry up, go and a show your appreciation to him!" Fu ChunHua said as she hurried her.


    Fu Meixu went to the study to find her grandfather but she was told by Butler Lu that he was on an important call, so she had to wait outside the door for a while.


    Fu Meixu had all the patience in the world to wait to see her grandfather and fortunately, she only had to stand there for 10 minutes before Butler Lu called her inside.


    Walking into the study, she met the gaze of her grandfather and smiled sweetly as she greeted him.


    The happiness on her face, just couldn''t be ignored by anyone. The smile was evident on her face.


    "Grandfather, I got the role I asked for, thank you!" Fu Meixu said with a slight bow while standing before the old man.


    "Is that what you came here for?" Grandfather Fu asked with his gaze on her.


    Fu Meixu nodded as she started to wonder if she has done anything wrong because her grandfather''s response was not right for this situation.


    "There is no need to thank me. You can go back, and don''t cause trouble." Grandfather Fu said to her.


    "Thank you, grandfather!" Fu Meixu replied as she heaved a sigh of relief. She bowed to the old man again before leaving the study.


    "Young Miss Meixu looks very happy." Butler Lu said with a smile.


    "Why won''t she be happy when she got what she wanted?" Grandfather Fu replied and got back to his work.


    When Fu Meixu returned to her mother''s side, she learned from her that her brother, Fu Ling received some funds from the old man to start his gamingpany.


    "Brother is very lucky. Now, I''m thinking I should have asked for more." Fu Meixu said with a little regret.


    "It''s not a good thing to always rely on your grandfather. You have to put some effort into your own as well and only then would he start to value you. Remember that this is the reason he likes your cousin so much." Fu ChunHua said to her in a soft tone.


    Being reminded of her rival in the family, Fu Meixu''s mood changed. She was thest child of the Fu family and got the old man''s love and attention because she was very smart.


    When she was around, she has always posed a threat to Fu Meixu, as the old man''s favorite granddaughter. But while she was away, Fu Meixu found a breathing space.


    "Don''t feel bad, you only have to work hard and put a lot of effort into getting things that you want. You have to learn to stand up, and only then can you get the old man to ord you some respect." Fu ChunHua added.


    Fu Meixu took her mother''s words to heart as she began to make some ns in her head.


    When Fu YingPei came back from work and learned that his cousins and even his brother had their requests granted, he went to find the old man because his request was yet to be granted.


    He met Butler Lu along the way and asked about it.


    "Young Master, your request was rejected." Butler Lu revealed to him with a smile.


    "What? Why!" Fu YingPei asked with a frown.


    Butler Lu nced at the door to the study that was tightly shut. Fu YingPei followed his gaze, to see the study door that was tightly shut.


    Without saying anything, Fu YingPei walked directly towards the study.


    Butler Lu was rmed and followed after him immediately. "Young Master, you can''t go in now, the old master is busy with some important military matters."


    Fu YingPei ignored him and walked ahead as unhappiness could be seen clearly written on his face.


    He couldn''t believe others request was epted while he was rejected, and why would that be? Well, that''s the answer to the question he was looking for.


    When he approached the closed door, he knocked twice before he opened the door and stepped in with Butler Lu who was a little out of breath.


    "Grandfather, I heard you rejected my request but granted to my brother and my cousin''s the requests they sent to you. Don''t you think it''s unfair?" Fu YingPei asked in a bitter tone.


    Grandfather Fu looked up and fixed his gaze on him. "What''s unfair about it?"


    ''Huh ????...''


    Fu YingPei looked surprised with his response. "Grandfather, am I not your grandson? Why are you treating me unfairly?"


    "Your cousins asked for important things that will help with their career and future, but you, what did you ask for? You asked for a vacation, and for me to sponsor it." Grandfather Fu said while pointing at him.


    "Grandfather, what''s wrong with taking a break from work?" Fu YingPei asked with a frown.


    "You''ve only been working in FJ for a year now, so what are you taking a break for? You should be ashamed of yourself." Grandfather Fu said with a disappointed gaze.


    Now, Fu YingPei has known the reason his request was rejected, but he couldn''t leave empty-handed.


    "Grandfather, can I still write another proposal?" He asked.


    Grandfather Fu fixed his gaze on the military report he was looking at early on. He was retired but the country still couldn''t help but need his assistance.


    "You have lost the opportunity. Work hard in FJ, and you might receive another opportunity soon." The old man said without ncing at him.


    Fu YingPei was disappointed.. ''Why do I have to work before I get another opportunity?'' He thought, before trying to protest to the old man, but he was chased out of the study.

 Chapter 198 - Fu Hee Breaks Off Relations With Bai Fen

    <h4>Chapter 198 - Fu Hee Breaks Off Rtions With Bai Fen</h4>


    Two dayster, Fu Hua received a call that his mother was sick but he wasn''t moved.


    "Send for a doctor." That was his only response. He didn''t seem to care much about it.


    His brother said their mother caught a cold and had a fever, of course, his reply was right.


    Fu YingPei was not surprised by his response. He spoke to him for a short while before ending the call.


    Fu YingPei went to meet his grandfather to tell him about his mother''s situation.


    "Next time, call the doctor yourself. I am too busy to bother about everybody in the family." Grandfather Fu said to him in annoyance.


    Fu YingPei apologized for disturbing him. Luckily, Grandfather Fu asked Butler Lu to contact the doctor for Fu Hee.


    Since that memorable day, Fu Hee has been keeping to herself. She was only seen during breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The rest of the time, she was always in her bedroom.


    Whenever she was bored, she would take a walk outside and that was how she caught a cold.


    Fu Hee who was currently lying in bed with the duvet covering her body, coughed when her phone started to ring.


    She stretched her hand and picked it up from the nightstand. Seeing the caller ID, she picked up the call.


    "Fu Hee, what is wrong with you?! You have been ignoring my calls for so long that I almost went crazy!" Bai Fen said in anger.


    She has been trying to reach out to Fu Hee for some days now but that has been futile because Fu Hee was not answering her calls or replying to her texts. This alone was enough to make her go crazy.


    "Do I have a reason to answer your calls?" Fu Hee asked and coughed after it.


    "What do you mean by that? Am I not allowed to call you?" Bai Fen asked in an annoyed tone. She couldn''t ept that Fu Hee was being rude to her.


    "Yes, you are not allowed to contact me again if you don''t want to get me into more trouble." Fu Hee said to her in a hoarse voice.


    "Did you get into trouble with your family?" Bai Fen asked as she somehowprehended her words.


    "Bai Fen, I got into a lot of trouble because of you. I still want to live long and enjoy life for more years toe, so I''m cutting off the deal between us. Find a good husband for Bai Jun." Fu Hee said to her in a serious tone.


    Bai Fen couldn''t believe what she was hearing. Did that mean that Fu Hee wasn''t going to go on with their deal?


    "Fu Hee, I am highly disappointed in you! How can you go back on your words? Are you not apologetic that you have to make my daughter pass through another heartbreak because of you?!" Bai Fen asked angrily.


    Fu Hee coughed and replied, "I have paid more than enough for disappointing you and your daughter and I can not pay with my life. Bai Fen, go ahead and apologize to Bai Jun on my behalf."


    Just remembering all she has passed through for going against the old man because of the daughter from the Bai family, was enough reason for Fu Hee to quit ande back to her senses.


    Although she was still unsatisfied with Jia Li, she couldn''t do anything more to fight her because her life was on the line. Being sent back to her Fang family was worst than death for her.


    "Is that all you have to say? Fu Hee, don''t rejoice because that girl is pregnant. That child she is carrying may not be Fu Hua''s because I saw her acting intimate with another man at the cafe the other day." Bai Fen revealed with intentional malice.


    "Bai Fen, let''s not contact each other again." Fu Hee said as she ended the call immediately before going on to block Bai Fen''s contact.


    What Bai Fen just said to her about Jia Li was enough reason for her to start causing trouble. She still wasn''t safe from the crimes shemitted, so how could she go on tomit another one.


    Curiosity kills the cat, so it would be better if she doesn''t know about whatever was happening in order to stay out of trouble.


    After the call, Bai Fen was angry that Fu Hee ended rtions with her and even terminated the call. He threw the pillows on her bed away.


    She thought, that there was no way she couldn''t turn the tables around, so she came up with an idea that will cause Fu Hee to change her mind.


    She went to her phone''s gallery and selected the pictures she snapped of Jia Li and Li Huan and sent them to Fu Hee.


    She had a smile on her face as she thought that Fu Hee wouldn''t be able to resist the temptation and call her on phone.


    After waiting for a while, she didn''t receive any call, from Fu Hee, but she thought that Fu Hee was still angry about being punished and may not be in the mood to read their chats, so she decided to give her a few days.


    Fu Hee was unaware that Bai Fen sent something to her because she had already blocked her contact before then.


    Fu Hee was also unaware that Bai Fen sent those pictures to Fu Hua and the old man of the Fu family went to the Bai family to scold them for what she did.


    It was kind of unfortunate that Fu Hee did not know about this, otherwise, it would be an extra reason why she should stop associating with Bai Fen.


    Grandfather Fu visiting the Bai family to warn them was a big deal she shouldn''t neglect.


    Later in the evening, the doctor grandfather Fu invited, came over to see Fu Hee. He took her temperature measurement and did some other simple checkups, before writing down the list of drugs she would take to recover.


    Traditional Chinese medicine was given as well. It was to be cooked in the hot water and given to her to drink, in order to dispel the cold that had already gotten into her body.


    The doctor''s instructions were followed and within a week, Fu Hee was already a lot better.

 Chapter 199 - Slowly Warming Up To Her

    <h4>Chapter 199 - Slowly Warming Up To Her</h4>


    These days, Fu Hua has been helping Jia Li with her project. In the morning he would go to work and he would try toe back on time for lunch and continue with assisting her.


    Within a few days, the dress was ready and it looked exactly like the real purple cabbage design Jia Li made.


    Looking at the stunning dress, Jia Li felt bad that she had to give it away.


    "Stop sulking." Fu Hua said to her.


    "I can''t bear to part with it. This is our hard work but we are going to give out just like that?" Jia Li asked with a frown.


    "This is not the first time you''re making a dress and giving it out, so what''s so special about it?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.


    "We made it together from the first to thest stage, we were involved in all the stages." Jia Li replied with a sad gaze.


    To Jia Li, the dress meant more than just a dress to her. It was the first dress that Fu Hua assisted her with from the beginning to thest stage.


    Making that dress with him, helped them to be one step closer and she learned a lot of things from him.


    Being the best designer was not just enough, she needed to have the right knowledge to make the dresses perfectly and that was the knowledge shecked.


    And to her, Fu Hua was the best teacher. He had a lot of experiences because this was all he had learned since he was little, so of course, he was perfect in it.


    Fu Hua understood what she meant and a smile appeared on his face. He hugged her from behind and ced his jaw on her head.


    "We have plenty of time to make a lot of dresses together, so don''t be sad." Fu Hua consoled her.


    Jia Li turned to stare at him as she asked, "Will you still have the time to make more dresses with me?"


    "Yes, but that will be in the future. Right now, you need to rest and concentrate on taking care of the baby and yourself." Fu Hua said as he caressed her stomach.


    Her stomach was no longer as t as it used to be because a little life was growing in her.


    Jia Li smiled when his hand went into her dress to caress her stomach. But a question came to her mind.


    "Fu Hua, do you like the baby?" Jia Li asked.


    Fu Hua took his hand off from underneath her clothes and turned her over to look at him. He stared into her eyes as he asked, "Why are you asking?"


    "I don''t feel your love for our child." Jia Li said.


    Fu Hua sighed and tried to exin things to her. "I love our child but I don''t know how to show it. I don''t know how to care for it but I promise to try my best."


    Fu Hua knew that her words were true and so he hurried to exin. He loved their child but he was still getting used to the fact that he was going to be a father.


    Being a father was not something he saw happening anytime soon until he was shocked by the news, so he was slowly trying to adapt to it.


    This was the first time he was having this experience, so things were still a bit awkward for him.


    Jia Li got his point. She knew he didn''t know how to interact with people and she can attest to that because of the way he treated her before they got married.


    He doesn''t talk to her and only replies to her greetings with a hum. His personality back then was so cold that she was scared of crossing paths with him. But now, he was slowly warming up to her.


    Fu Hua thought of something and said to her, "Jia Li, I never asked you if you wanted the child and just allowed you to bear the burden and now, you will have to dedicate one year of your life to care for the child. I''m sorry for not being considerate."


    Fu Hua understood that having a child may be a good thing but now, she has to sacrifice the ns she had for herself because of the pregnancy, so he felt guilty.


    Jia Li smiled as she replied, "It''s okay, you were not at fault. You were drugged and we didn''t remember to consider the other aspect."


    She couldn''t me him as both of them didn''t think about using protection to prevent pregnancy, since they didn''t talk about childbearing and we''re not ready to have a child.


    Fu Hua pulled her to sit on the couch and started to ask her some questions.


    "How did you feel when you found out about the pregnancy?" He asked because he was curious to know about her feelings at that time.


    Jia Li smiled and started recounting her feelings and emotions at that time.


    "At first, I had mixed feelings because I wasn''t expecting to be pregnant. I had ns to get into a goodpany and start work but learning that I was pregnant, I was unhappy. I wasn''t ready to be a mother and things were awkward between us at that time. I was afraid of your reaction if you found out I was pregnant."


    "Why would you be afraid of my reaction?" Fu Hua asked with a surprised gaze. He was truly surprised that Jia Li was scared of his reaction to the news of her pregnancy and wanted to know why she felt that way.


    Jia Li looked away from him and fiddled with her fingers. "I was afraid you wouldn''t be happy that I was pregnant because you didn''t like me back then.".


    Fu Hua chuckled at her response. Now, he finally understood why she tried to hide the pregnancy report from him.


    He pinched her cheeks asked, "So you nned to hide the news from me, but for how long?"


    "I don''t know, maybe till I couldn''t hide it anymore.." Jia Li replied and dodged his hands.

 Chapter 200 - His Confessions

    <h4>Chapter 200 - His Confessions</h4>


    "Jia Li, please don''t ever hide anything from me. I may seem cold and not easy to get along with but I am always responsible for my actions. Indeed, I didn''t really fancy you at that time but I would never me you for my faults." Fu Hua said as he hugged her.


    Jia Li heard everything he said but failed to understand what he meant by hisst statement.


    He said that he didn''t really fancy her, so does that mean that he already had his eyes on her but his feelings were not as deep as now?


    Jia Li was confused and didn''t know whether to ask about it.


    "Do you want to hear a secret from me?" Fu Hu asked with a smile and kissed her cheek.


    "A secret?" Jia Li asked as her curiosity was starting to get the best of her.


    "Mmmm..." Fu Hua hummed in response.


    "I''m interested." Jia Li said immediately. She was now very curious to know about the secret he wanted to share with her.


    ''What could it be about?'' She thought.


    Fu Hua smiled and said to her, "I knew you won''t be able to resist the temptation of asking."


    "Please hurry up and tell me about it." Jia Li pleaded as she urged him.


    Fu Hua chuckled and decide to tell her about it.


    "I have always had my eyes on you."


    Jia Li was beyond shocked by this revtion ????


    ''How was that even possible?'' She thought to herself.


    "For how long?" She asked with a shocked gaze on him.


    "Since the first day, I set my eyes on you?" Fu Hua revealed.


    Jia Li had another reason to be shocked again. None of his words made sense to her.


    This was the man who has always been cold to her since she knew him. He doesn''t talk to her and he acts like she doesn''t exist, so how was it possible that he had been attracted to her for long.


    "I know you''re shocked and probably don''t believe me but I''m telling the truth. I was first attracted to you because of your innocent looks. You looked so innocent back then that I wanted to protect you but I couldn''t. I didn''t want to be attracted to you because I had a girlfriend at that time, so I stayed away from you."


    This particr revtion made Jia Li know the reason he was so cold to her for several months. It turned out that he was already attracted to her but because he was already dating someone else at that time, he had to act cold towards her and ignore her for so long.


    ''What a loyal man'' She thought.


    Jia Li thought that with his personality and his acts, he was truly a loyal person. He was already dating someone but started being attracted to her. And in order to stay loyal, he swept off the attraction he had for her.


    So, does it mean he can stay loyal to her?


    "Fu Hua does it mean you like me and you will be loyal to me?" Jia Li asked with a serious gaze.


    The answer to that question means a lot to her. She doesn''t know if she was going too far by asking that kind of question. But she was very curious to know the answers and besides, it was already toote to take back her question.


    "I like you, a lot. And I will always remain loyal to you." Fu Hua promised as he hugged her.


    Jia Li felt her nerves calm down a lot. She was very happy with his response. Before she could rx, his hands were already moving over her chest.


    The smile on her face disappeared instantly. Before she couldin, she heard Fu Hua whisper to her...


    "I forgot to add something. I have also been attracted to your boobs, the first time Iid my eyes on them." Fu Hua said shamelessly.


    "You..." Jia Li said as she nced at him speechlessly. She didn''t know what to say to him.


    "I already knew the reason you always wore big jackets even when the weather wasn''t cold. You were embarrassed because of the size of your boobs, so you always covered them up." Fu Hua added with a smile as he gave her boobs a gentle squeeze.


    "How did you know that?" Jia Li asked in surprise. She didn''t know Fu Hua already knew about that.


    "It was so obvious to me, unlike people like YingPei, who couldn''t understand and caused you to be embarrassed when went out for lunch together." Fu Hua said as he kissed her earlobe.


    "You remembered that time too?" Jia Li asked in surprise after she recalled her first experience of eating out with Fu Hua and YingPei during the time Grandfather Fu was hospitalized.


    She remembered her brother-inw, Fu YingPei asking about the big jacket she was putting on when the weather was hot. She was embarrassed and didn''t know how to reply to him. But she was lucky because it was Fu Hua that saved her.


    At that time, Fu Hua had cautioned Fu YingPei because of his question.


    Thinking about this now, it now dawned on Jia Li that Fu Hua has always known she was busty and the reason she used to put on those big jackets back then.


    "Of course, I remember." Fu Hua replied with a smile.


    "You are so naughty!" Jia Li said to him. She was a bit embarrassed because he had always known her little secrets. But that meant that he has always been attracted to her and paid attention to her for so long because to remember something like that, she believed that he had an interest in her at that time.


    Jia Li was shocked by all these revtions. She has truly underestimated Fu Hua. She had no idea that he had been paying attention to her for so long.


    Now she was beginning to think if he had done anything crazy or weird without knowing he had always had his eyes on her.


    As if her reaction wasn''t enough for Fu Hua, he whispered to her, "I also remembered that you used to be afraid of me, any time you had to greet me, that look in your eyes, would always expose you."


    "Who wouldn''t be scared of you when you always had that cold look on your face? Of course, I wouldn''t be an exception." Jia Li said to him with a little annoyance.


    "But now, I believe you are no longer scared of me." Fu Hua pointed out as he captured her lips in a kiss ????

 Chapter 201 - Mrs. Lis Worries

    <h4>Chapter 201 - Mrs. Li''s Worries</h4>


    As Jia Li''s graduation was fast approaching, she didn''t have to worry because she had already submitted her project.


    Jia Li was eating and sleeping peacefully but some people couldn''t.


    Since the time that he met Jia Li and found out about her marriage and pregnancy, Li Huan has not been himself.


    He has been thinking a lottely that he didn''t bother to tell his mother about his promotion for days until her call came in.


    "You have been promoted? That''s a relief. You have toe back, mum will cook a lot of food to celebrate and I''m sure you haven''t been eating properly." Mrs. Li said to him happily over the phone.


    "Mum, I''m very busy, it won''t be easy to make it." Li Huan replied.


    "Even if you have other people under you now, your weekends should still be free. Come home next weekend and celebrate with your lonely mother." Mrs. Li said as she tried to persuade him.


    "Okay, I wille back next weekend." Li Huan replied tiredly.


    "Whenst did you speak to Jia Li? Have you told her about your promotion?" Mrs. Li asked in a curious tone.


    She was very happy that her son was promoted at his workce, now she was thinking it was time for him to settle down and she found Jia Li to be the perfect wife for her son, and the perfect daughter-inw for her.


    "I spoke to Jia Li a few days ago and she knows about my promotion." Li Huan replied.


    "Good! Ask her toe with you to visit me, you can tell her that I missed her and want to see her. You are not getting younger, you need to start making ns about settling down and Jia Li is the right person to settle down with." Mrs. Li pointed out with an excited tone.


    Being reminded of his rtionship with Jia Li, Li Huan felt pain in his chest. He had just learned that the woman he has always had his eyes on was already married and pregnant with someone else''s baby. This was something demoralizing.


    Li Huan felt so angry but he couldn''t me his mother for mentioning it because she was still in the dark about Jia Li''s marriage.


    "Mum, I can''t invite Jia Li back home and I can''t marry her." Li Huan said to his mother.


    The smile on Mrs. Li''s face disappeared and she began to lecture him.


    "Li Huan, what do you me by you can''t invite Jia Li back home and it''s not possible to marry her? Did you find another one at that ce you went to work? Let me tell you, I will not ept any other daughter-inw if it''s not Jia Li. You have known Jia Li for such a long time and I know you liked her, so what happened now?"


    Li Huan heaved a sigh as he thought that he should tell his mother the truth, so she would stop ming and lecturing him.


    "Mum, things are not the way you are thinking. I don''t have a girlfriend here. The reason I can''t ask Jia Li toe home with me or marry her is that she is already married." Li Huan revealed.


    Mrs. Li was so shocked by the revtion that she blurted out almost immediately, "What did you say?!"


    "Mum, it''s true, Jia Li is already married. We met some days ago when I asked for us to meet, as she told me about it." Li Huan revealed.


    "How did this happen? When did she get married? Which family did she get married to?" Mrs. Li asked a series of questions because she was still in disbelief.


    "She told me she got married around September. She married into the Fu family." Li Huan said in a sad tone.


    The more he remembered and talked about the reality between him and Jia Li, the more pain he felt.


    "Howe she got married and she didn''t let anyone know. Was she forced to get married? Where is the Fu family located, we have to go and confront them in case Jia Li was forced into getting married, at least you have some power now." Mrs. Li said with a frown, while she hoped in her son.


    She believed that now her son has been promoted, he would have a bit of power and authority to confront some people.


    Li Huan smiled bitterly. He has just made a little investigation on the Fu family two days after meeting with Jia Li and discovered that it wasn''t a family to be trifled with.


    He wasn''t qualified to be near any member of the Fu family because he can never be equal to them ore close to them in the present life


    They were so wealthy and powerful than any of them could crush him easily. He couldn''t fight for his love because Jia Li was married to that kind of family, and she was already pregnant with the defendant of that kind of family.


    Li Huan knew that his fantasies hade to an end after reading the little information he saw about the Fu family.


    What right did he have to confront any of them? His life will immediately be over if he dared to do that. He still had a long road ahead of him and he still had his mother, so he couldn''t try his luck.


    When his mother mentioned confronting the Fu family, he knew that she was unaware of how powerful the Fu family was, so he had to exin things to her.


    Mrs. Li was shocked when she heard about the little details of the Fu family from her son. She has no idea that the old man she saw in Jia Li''s house during her parents'' funeral, was such a big shot.


    She felt stupid to have brought up that kind of suggestion. Her little life span will immediately be crushed and sent out of her, but still, she couldn''t help but be worried about Jia Li.


    "Li Huan, how can we leave Jia Li like that? It''s obvious that she was forced to get married to one of the sons of the Fu family and I know none of the children of these rich families are of good behavior." Mrs.. Li said worriedly.

 Chapter 202 - A Call From Li Huan During Dinner With Fu Hua

    <h4>Chapter 202 - A Call From Li Huan During Dinner With Fu Hua</h4>


    Li Huan was quiet and let his mother do the talking. The truth is that there was nothing else anyone can do about the situation. He was already depressed thinking about it.


    "Li Huan, can you hear me?" Mrs. Li asked after not hearing any response from him.


    "Mum, there is nothing we can do about it. The Fu family is not a family to be trifled with. They are far above our reach." Li Huan said tiredly.


    "Does it mean we have to let Jia Li suffer in that family? I can''t believe this. I''m sure they are not treating Jia Li well. For such a wealthy family to force that poor child to marry one of their sons, then there must be something fishy. One of their sons likely has an incurable disease or it''s handicapped, so they forced Jia Li to get married to him." Mrs. Li said.


    The more worried she was, the more her imagination ran wild.


    Mrs. Li thought that the Fu family which is so wealthy and powerful can not allow an ordinary person to get married into their family. That is, any person getting married into their family must have some background.


    For Jia Li to marry into their family, it''s either the person she was forced to get married to has physical disabilities or was a spoilt brat.


    With all these deductions, Mrs. Li concluded that an elite couldn''t marry that kind of son, so Jia Li was forced to get married to him instead.


    "Mum, ording to the surface investigations I made on the inte, there is no hidden illness being suffered by any member of the Fu family." Li Huan said to her.


    He could tell that his mother''s imagination was running wild, so he had to exin things a bit more for her.


    "What do you know? Those kinds of things can only be known by the members of the Fu family. Do you think they would want to tarnish their image and reputation by baring their dirty linings outside? That is impossible! Li Huan, you have to find a way for me to meet Jia Li." Mrs. Li said in a worried tone.


    Li Huan was sick and tired of talking about Jia Li''s matter with his mother because his heart was beginning to ache, so he decided to drop the bombshell.


    "Mum, forget about Jia Li for now. The Fu family will not do anything to her because she is pregnant with their descendant." Li Huan revealed.


    "What?! Jia Li is pregnant?!" Mrs. Li asked in shock.


    This was the news that killed the tiniest hope she had about getting Jia Li to be with her son again.


    "Mum, let''s stop talking about this matter. If you still want me toe back home for dinner, don''t bring up this matter again. I have to go now." Li Huan said and ended the call.


    Mrs. Li was toote to say anything to him because the call had already ended before she could recover from her shock.


    Just like the way her son was hurting after losing Jia Li that was the same way she was hurting.


    She couldn''t believe the daughter-inw she has always had her eyes on, already belonged to someone else.


    She has always liked Jia Li and had wished for her son to get married to her. Now hearing this news about her, Mrs. Li didn''t know what to do anymore.


    She wanted to me her son for not making a move quickly but she couldn''t find the right words. She also thought about ming herself for not meeting Jia Li''s parents to talk about the possibility of their children getting married before they died but still, she couldn''t me herself.


    There were no words left to console herself with. She could onlyy on the sofa as she allowed her thoughts to wander.


    Li Huan couldn''t be med for missing the right opportunity to date Jia Li. When he thought about asking her out, her parents died, and he had to give her 1 year''s space to get over her parents'' death.


    After a year passed, he learned from her that she would be graduating soon and because of his tight work schedule, he thought it wasn''t the time to ask her out.


    He thought he still had a little time unaware of the fact that things were already toote by the time he wanted to ask her out.


    To Li Huan, losing Jia Li was the greatest loss he has ever encountered and he doesn''t think he would easily forget her.


    When the weekend came, Li Huan went back to his hometown to visit his mother. They didn''t bring up Jia Li while eating but they walked about some other things. It was a tacit understanding between them.


    Some dayster, Jia Li''s phone rang while she was having dinner with Fu Hua. On seeing the caller ID, Jia Li''s heart raced because Li Huan was the person calling her and Fu Hua was present. She had no idea what to do.


    Fu Hua nced over at her and saw the worried look on her face.


    "Who is that?" He asked casually.


    Jia Li swiped the red side to end the call before turning her gaze to him.


    "It''s my friend." She replied and immediately sent a mouthful of food into her mouth.


    Fu Hua did not ask anymore. But something struck him when he was about to drink some water from his ss.


    He remembered that Jia Li gave him a simr response thest time she met up with her childhood friend, so he nced back at her and asked with furrowed brows, "What''s the name?"


    Jia Li felt her heartbeats increase a little. She didn''t know what his reaction would be when he finds out about the caller ID.


    She didn''t want him to be angry and now, she was in a dilemma and didn''t know how to reply to him, because she didn''t guess that he would ask that question.


    When their gazes met, Jia Li became a little scared. She slowly chewed on her food while Fu Hua patiently waited for her response.


    Her looks already revealed to Fu Hua that she was guilty.

 Chapter 203 - I Can Handle It

    <h4>Chapter 203 - I Can Handle It</h4>


    After a little battle with her mind, Jia Li finally revealed who was calling. "It''s Li Huan"


    Jia Li was afraid Fu Hua would be jealous and be angry because he asked her not to get close to Li Huan.


    A frown appeared on Fu Hua''s face as his brows furrowed. He was annoyed that a man was calling his wife sote at night.


    Hadn''t it been someone Jia Li used to like, he wouldn''t be so bothered.


    "For now put your phone on silent mode, you can return the call after dinner." Fu Hua said to her and continued to eat.


    Jia Li did as he said and continued to eat while wondering what his thoughts were.


    The two continued their dinner in silence with only their cutlery making some crisp sounds against each other.


    After dinner, Jia Li took her drugs but before it Fu Hua had already disappeared because he was avoiding the smell of drugs.


    Jia Li thought he was still annoyed with Li Huan calling her and felt a little moody. She didn''t like him ignoring her but she misunderstood this time around.


    After taking her drugs, Jia Li went to their bedroom to return Li Huan''s call.


    "Hello, Brother Huan" Jia Li greeted after the call was answered


    "Jia Li, how are you?" Li Huan asked when he heard Jia Li''s soft tone.


    "I''m fine." Jia Li replied.


    "Did I disturb you?" Li Huan asked in a gentle tone. He was calm andposed now.


    "Not really, I was having dinner when you called earlier." Jia Li replied as she walked towards the couch to go and sit.


    Since Fu Hua was not in the bedroom, she could freely answer the call without worrying about his reactions.


    "I''m sorry about that. I wanted to ask about the date for your graduation." Li Huan said. He knew about Jia Li''s graduation and wanted to attend, so he asked for the date.


    "It''s next week Friday." Jia Li replied.


    "Okay. Sorry for disturbing you, good night." Li Huan said and ended the call after that.


    Jia Li nced at her phone before keeping it aside. Li Huan did not tell her the reason for asking about her graduation date but she guessed he might want to attend it.


    Jia Li sighed and kept the phone aside before getting into bed. She was feeling drowsy before dinner but now as shey in bed, the sleep seems to have disappeared.


    She had some thoughts going through her head, while indirectly waiting for Fu Hua toe back to the room.


    Fu Hua was currently trying to round up some work on his Laptop ???? and had no idea of Jia Li''s thoughts. But he didn''t work for long before shutting his system down.


    When Fu Hua went back to the bedroom, he saw Jia Li lying in bed and still wide awake.


    "You''re not sleeping yet?" He asked with a frown.


    "I can''t sleep." Jia Li replied with a tired tone.


    Fu Hua turned off the lights and left themp on the bedside but he dimmed them.


    He got into bed and hugged Jia Li from behind. He kisses her neck before keeping his head on the pillow with his hands still wrapped around her.


    "Why can''t you sleep, what are you thinking about?" Fu Hua asked in a low tone.


    "I was waiting for you." Jia Li replied in all honesty as she turned over to nce at him.


    A smile appeared on Fu Hua''s face and he leaned in to kiss her lips.


    "I''m here now, you can sleep." Fu Hua said as he brought her into his arms.


    Jia Liy her head on his chest before speaking up slowly, "I returned Brother Huan''s call. He asked for my graduation date."


    "Does he want to attend?" Fu Hua asked as he caressed her hair.


    "I think so, but he didn''t say anything about it." Jia Li revealed.


    "It''s okay." Fu Hua said to her.


    After waiting for a while, Jia Li looked up and asked, "Are you not angry?"


    Fu Hua was taken aback by the sudden question. "Why do you think so?"


    "You left immediately after dinner without saying anything, I thought you were angry that he called." Jia Li replied while gazing at him.


    Fu Hua chuckled softly and kissed her forehead. "Although I wasn''t happy your childhood sweetheart called you sote but I didn''t leave because of that."


    "Oh! Why did you leave?" Jia Li asked as her gaze became curious, if he didn''t leave because of Li Huan''s call, then what else made him leave?


    "I don''t like the smell of drugs and I hate them." Fu Hua confessed.


    Jia Li stared at him wide-eyed. She was stupefied by this revtion. Since those drugs were prescribed for her, she has been taking them during breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and she never noticed he didn''t like to see her take them. This was a huge surprise for her.


    "Why didn''t you tell me about it?" Jia Li asked worriedly.


    "There is no need. I can handle it. If I can''t, I just have to leave when you''re about to take them." Fu Hua said without worries.


    Jia Li felt bad and thought she wasn''t considerate enough to him.


    Fu Hua guessed that she was feeling bad and said to her, "Don''t think too much about it and sleep on time. If you are still not feeling sleepy, then I will have my way with you. I haven''t been inside of you for more than a week now and I miss it."


    Jia Li who was feeling bad for him almost red at him. He really knew how to ruin the moments. How could he be thinking of whenst they had s*x and he was even keeping counts of it.


    She wondered if that was the only thing he always thought about.


    Jia Li tried to push him away but she heard himugh from above her head as he held her in ce.


    "Jia Li, you''re still owing me for helping with project work. When will you pay me?" Fu Hua asked with a smile.


    Jia Li remembered their deal and asked, "What do you want?"


    "I want you." Fu Hua said directly without hiding his intentions.


    "My stomach is heavy." Jia Li said as she closed her eyelids. She ate too much during dinner and can''t handle him tonight.


    "Another time... Sleep.." Fu Hua said as he closed his eyes while patting her back.

 Chapter 204 - FJ Shouldnt Be Left Out

    <h4>Chapter 204 - FJ Shouldn''t Be Left Out</h4>


    The next day, Fu Hua goes to work leaving Jia Li to stay by her side.


    Staying alone without much to do, wasn''t a problem for Jia Li because she still had Ocean. She went to find her and brought her into the house to keep herpany.


    The servants in the house were still scared of Ocean and so had to thread carefully especially when they were around Jia Li.


    They sighed in relief when Jia Li sent Ocean back to her little house because she wanted to take a nap.


    An hourter, Jia Li woke up from her nap and the first thing she did after sitting up on the bed was to pick up her phone.


    She turned on her inte connection and received so many notifications especially from her friends and group chats in her fashion school.


    She first opened the group chat with her friends because of the tags she got from them. Her three friends asked about her graduation date as they nned to attend.


    Jia Li smiled when she saw the message and immediately gave them the date. She didn''t have to wait for long before they started replying to her messages.


    Her friends sent her congrattory messages in advance with posts of stickers.


    Jia Li: "I will arrange a ce for you all to stay when youe over, just keep me updated on the day you wille."


    DanDan: "Okay, we will. We were worried about you."


    Jia Li: "Why?" Jia Li asked not understanding the reason they were worried about her.


    Chang-Chang: "You''ve been offline for a few days."


    Daiyu: "Yes and it got us all worried. It''s everything okay?"


    Jia Li: "Everything is fine. I was busy with my school project and didn''t have the time toe online."


    Jia Li''s friends ask about her baby since she had already told them about her pregnancy. Jia Li tells them the baby is okay before her three friends started fighting for who will be the godmother.


    Jia Li had an iing headache from watching her friends fight over her child. She couldn''t watch any longer and threatened to log out, and that was how she ended the fight.


    "How is the rtionship with your husband?" DanDan asked worriedly.


    "Is he treating you well?" Chang Chang asked.


    "Everything is fine and he is treating me so well." Jia texted in reply happily.


    "If he dares to bully you, you just have to tell me and I wille over to teach him a lesson." Daiyu said.


    Daiyu was athletic and was used to showing off her female prowess. She was the strongest of Jia Li''s friends, and she always says that no one dares to mess with her friends.


    "Daiyu, who do you think Fu Hua is? You should be worried about yourself first." DanDan said to her, and the others including Jia Liughed over it.


    Jia Li chatted with her friends for a little while before saying goodbye to them. She was already hungry and had to run off to have lunch.


    While at work, Fu Hua called for a short meeting with the heads of departments. FJ Style received an Invitation from Jia Li''s school, The Prestigious school of fashion and deigning for their graduation ceremony.


    Fu Hua called for the meeting to seek their thoughts about the invitation sent to them.


    Fu Hua''s assistant, Zimo had passed the invitation to him when he arrived at work in the morning.


    FJ Styles do not attend that kind of event and this was the first time they were receiving that kind of invitation from Jia Li''s school.


    Normally, Fu Hua wouldn''t bother about such kind of invitation but this was Jia Li''s school, and she was amongst the graduating students, so he paid extra attention to it.


    When the heads of departments heard the reason he called for the meeting, they were surprised because it was unlike him.


    The Chief designer of FJ Styles, Sunny, was interested in the invitation and made a suggestion, asking for other heads of departments to consider it.


    "I suggest we should send a representative to attend the graduation ceremony since an invitation was sent to us from such a prestigious school. We can also use that opportunity to ess the graduating students with the best potential and possibly make an offer to work with us."


    "FJ doesn''t offer an opportunity to newbies so there is no need to consider it." The marketing manager reminded.


    "We can start it. We need a fresh vibrant feeling." The Chief designer said.


    "We don''t need to go through that way, there are other methods."


    "We can just go there to take a look, it must not be to contract newbies."


    "Invitations were sent to other Top designerpanies as well, so FJ shouldn''t be left out."


    Jia Li''s school had a reputation already for raising the best fashion designers, so their invitations were well received and this was also the first time they were sending out invitations to Top designerpanies like FJ Styles.


    Fu Hua listened to them debate and share their views before concluding the meeting. He didn''t have all day to listen to them argue about the graduation ceremony they were invited to.


    Atst, Fu Hua approved of the Chief designer''s suggestion and said he would bring it up in the next executive meeting which will be held that same day.


    During the executive meeting, Fu Hua brought up that suggestion and gave two major reasons FJ should participate.


    Fu Hua made it obvious to the executive members that he wanted FJ to participate in the graduation ceremony.


    As not everything catches the CEO''s attention, the executive members agreed with him and decided to give it a shot.


    So before work closed for the day, Fu Hua asked the Chief Designer to represent FJ on the day of the graduation ceremony, as this was to look out for potential young designers that were capable enough to work for FJ.


    Fu Hua did all of these because he had Jia Li in mind.


    This would be a great opportunity for the best students to get an offer to work with the Top designer''spanies in the country, and internationally.

 Chapter 205 - Another Opportunity Will Come

    <h4>Chapter 205 - Another Opportunity Will Come</h4>


    When Fu Hua returned home that day, he told Jia Li about the invitation from her school. Jia Li was not surprised like she was earlier when she read her group chat messages from school.


    She saw her colleagues talking about their school sending out invitations to Top designerpanies in the country.


    Her colleagues also talked about how grand their graduation ceremony will be and the awards the best graduating students will receive.


    Jia Li was surprised because she had no idea her school was capable of making things this grand. For FJ Styles to be invited, she knew this was serious business but nobody was sure if their invitation would be epted by them.


    "Did FJ ept the invitation?" Jia Li asked curiously as her gaze rested on his face.


    "That''s a wrong question. You should be asking if I epted the invitation, remember, I am FJ''s Boss." Fu Hua said as she pinched her cheeks.


    Sometimes, he didn''t understand the way her brain worked.


    "Oh! So did you ept the invitation?" Jia Li asked as she corrected herself after his reminder.


    Fu Hua answered as he let go of her chubby cheeks and put his hands inside his trousers front pockets. "Yes, I did. This will be an opportunity for the Top students to get into good designingpanies."


    Jia Li sighed and said, "I wish them good luck in advance."


    "Why are you talking as if you don''t believe you can be amongst the recognized students?" Fu Hua asked with a frown, he didn''t like her response.


    "There are so many people better than me and I don''t know if my designs will be able to get me there." Jia Li said without hope. She didn''t believe in herself.


    Fu Hua ced his hands on her shoulders and said to her, "Don''t talk like that, believe in yourself. I believe that you will be amongst the Top students will get opportunities to work with bigpanies, including FJ."


    Jia Li looked more discouraged even after Fu Hua tried to cheer her up, for a reason.


    "Even if I emerge as one of the Top students and get an opportunity to be signed in, it will be useless."


    "And why is that?" Fu Hua asked immediately with a frown. He didn''t understand the reason Jia Li was talking that way.


    "I am pregnant. If I receive an offer to work with any of the Top designerpanies, I can''t get signed up immediately till at least 10 months." Jia Li exined the reason for her dilemma.


    Jia Li was currently 3 months pregnant, and she had 7 more months before she gives birth and she will need 2-3 more months to rest and take care of her baby before she will be able to start working, so? 10 months was the urate time she needed before she could work anywhere.


    Automatically, Jia Li can''t get signed in immediately after graduation because no Top designer''spany will want to employ a pregnant woman, as that will be a dy to them.


    After listening to her speak, Fu Hua was silent for a while. He forgot to consider Jia Li''s current condition before trying to help her.


    And even as FJ''s Boss, he can''t help her now because it will be against thepany''s rules and that the same rules he amended some weeks ago.


    He tightened the reins of thepany, so no worker will mess up, and now, those same rules have stopped him from helping his wife.


    If FJ selected a candidate, at most, they can only give the candidate 2 months to consider their offer. After the time interval expired without any response, the offer will be automatically canceled.


    Jia Li saw that Fu Hua was lost in thought as he has been silent for a long while now. She thought he was worried about her and said...


    "Don''t worry about me, another opportunity wille to me after having the baby."


    Atst, Fu Hua returned his gaze to her. He looked apologetic as he said to her, "If you want to work in FJ, tell me after giving birth to the baby and I will create an opportunity for you to get in."


    "Thank you! Don''t feel bad for me, this is not the end of the road for me." Jia Li said as she hugged his arm.


    "I''m not thinking that way, I was only worried you will be sad that you have to wait for such a long time before getting into goodpany. You are still young and you have so many hidden great potentials, so for now rest and observe." Fu Hua said as he hugged her soft body.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua talked about her graduation ceremony before she mentioned her friendsing to the city to attend it.


    Fu Hua asks for the date her friends will be arriving, as he will make arrangements for their transportation, amodation and food.


    Jia Li was excited because of his hospitality. She mentioned her friends without having anything in mind, as she just wanted to let him know about it but she didn''t expect that he will respond that way.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li said in appreciation as she hugged him.


    While Jia Li was happy and grateful for Fu Hua''s help, Li Huan was speaking to his mother on phone.


    Li Huan told his mother about Jia Li''s graduation, as he had ns of attending.


    "I will go with you as well. I am worried about Jia Li and haven''t seen her for a long time. I am worried she is being bullied by the Fu family." Mrs. Li said to him with a worried tone.


    Going to Jia Li''s graduation ceremony will be an opportunity for her to speak to Jia Li and confirm if things were okay with her.


    "Mum, if you''reing with me, then I have to remind you not to cause trouble. This will be a big event as reporters will be present on that day." Li Huan reminded his mother.


    Li Huan had just seen the announcement on the news and he could guess it would be a big event. Jia Li''s school was capable enough and this event will attract a lot of attention since it was being announced on the TV.


    Mrs.. Li agreed to her son''s words and they talked about other matters.

 Chapter 206 - Grandfather Fus Present To Jia Li

    <h4>Chapter 206 - Grandfather Fu''s Present To Jia Li</h4>


    Three days before Jia Li''s graduation, Fu Hua takes her shopping to get a new outfit for her graduation ceremony.


    He picked an outfit for her and asked her to try it out.


    Jia Li has noticed that he liked picking clothes for her, especially for special events and she had no problem with that.


    Sometimes she enjoyed it and wondered if he also did the same for his ex-girlfriend. But the truth is that Fu Hua didn''t act that way with Feng Alix. He only sent her money to go shopping and nothing else, he never followed her.


    After shopping for almost an hour, Jia Li was already famished from trying out different clothes. Fu Hua was very picky. He wanted her to look her best on her graduation day, so he was being very careful with the dress he wanted her to wear on that day, he wanted her looks to be perfect.


    "What would you like to eat?" Fu Hua asked while driving with his eyes on the road.


    "I want to eat hot and spicy catfish soup." Jia Li replied as she stared at him.


    Fu Hua nced over at her and said with a smile, "You look like you''re starving already."


    "I am hungry and the baby is very hungry as well plus I feel so exhausted." Jia Liined with a frown.


    "Are you ming your husband for trying to put in efforts to make you look perfect on your graduation day?" Fu Hua asked with a smile.


    Jia Li looked away as she said in a low tone, "Yourself not my husband." ????


    Fu Hua heard her clearly and asked, "If I''m not your husband, who is?"


    "I don''t know." Jia Li replied and he chuckled softly.


    "Don''t be angry, I will call home to prepare the food for you. What else do you want to eat?" Fu Hua asked.


    Jia Li felt much better and listed the foods she wanted to eat, and he made the call and ced her order. He made sure to remind them not to make the soup too spicy.


    When they got home, the food was ready and was immediately served. Jia Li was too hungry and forgot to wash her hands, but Fu Hua stopped her in time before she could touch her food.


    Jia Li pouted her lips and gazed at Fu Hua. She med him for dying her from eating.


    "Be good and wash your hands first." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li washed her hands and began to eat immediately. She found today''s lunch especially appetizing, and she finished everything on her te.


    Fu Hua thought she needed more soup and put more in her bowl since he noticed that she liked it.


    "Are you not worried about your weight if you continue to eat this much?" Fu Hua asked as he watched her finish the soup he just put in her bowl.


    Jia Li put down her empty bowl and wiped her lips before replying, "When I''m hungry, I don''t think about my weight but now that I have finished eating, I can now worry about it."


    "If you continue eating like this, you won''t just be the only person that will add weight, our baby will be fat, and you may have a difficult childbirth." Fu Hua said to her in concern.


    Jia Li was quiet as she thought about it. She didn''t want to give a difficult birth but she couldn''t stop herself from eating so much when she was famished.


    Seeing her worried gaze, Fu Hua said to her, "I will ask your doctor to fix you a diet n. I''m sure there are some healthy snacks you can eat when you''re hungry that won''t make you put on weight."


    Jia Li sighed and nced at him, "Can you set an appointment with my doctor after my graduation ceremony, I need to go for another checkup."


    "Weight checkup?" Fu Hua asked as he teased her.


    Jia Li frowned as he made fun of her. And in order to get back at him, she took out her drugs but he fled before she could take them out of the packets.


    Jia Li chuckled softly when she caught that frown on his face just before he fled.


    In the evening, Grandfather Fu learned of Jia Li''s graduation from the invitation that was sent to him from her school.


    He was unhappy that Jia Li did not tell him about it and looking at the date written, Butler Lu reminded him that he had something on that day, but still, he was not happy about Jia Li''s acts.


    "Howe Jia Li didn''t tell me about her graduation? Does she not want me to attend as her family member?" Grandfather Fu asked with a frown.


    Grandfather Fu has been looking forward to this day, so he was a bit unhappy Jia Li did not tell him about it.


    "Sir, Miss Jia Li may have thought that you have a busy schedule. She cares about you, and didn''t want to disturb you with her events." Butler Lu said from the side as he tried to speak up for Jia Li.


    Well he said the truth, Jia Li didn''t want to disturb the old man, so she didn''t tell him about it.


    Grandfather Fu calms down after listening to him and decides to surprise Jia Li by attending her graduation ????? ceremony.


    "Sir, Miss Jia Li will be surprised and excited to see you on that day." Butler Lu said with a smile.


    Grandfather Fu smiled and asked, "Have you made arrangements for the gift I prepared for her?"


    "Yes Sir, the documents are ready. Yourwyer will bring it over tomorrow morning." Butler Lu replied.


    The gift Grandfather Fu prepared for Jia Li was a property in her name. The property was a block of ts at one of the expensive locations in the City.


    The gift was not for her graduation but for the news of her pregnancy. He has been thinking of what to gift to her for a long while before thinking of giving her a property in her name.


    Jia Li will surely be shocked when she receives the house under her name.

 Chapter 207 - Fu Meixu Taunts Zhi Ruo

    <h4>Chapter 207 - Fu Meixu Taunts Zhi Ruo</h4>


    As everything was going on well for the Fu family, it was the opposite for Bai Fen.


    Bai Fen discovered that Fu Hee blocked her contact after several days of not hearing from her.


    Bai Fen checked her chats with Fu Hee 5 days after she sent those pictures from her and discovered that she still hasn''t received the message and she tried to reach her.


    When she failed to reach Fu Hee through calls and texts, she was mad in anger.


    She had thought Fu Hee was only going to ignore her for a few days but after a few days turned to several days and she did not receive any response, she decided to reach out to her and that was when she discovered that it was futile.


    Bai Fen went as far as contacting some of their friends to ask about Fu Hee. Most of them said they haven''t spoken to her in a while. It was one of them that revealed she spoke to Fu Hee 2 days ago.


    This was enough reason for Bai Fen to confirm that Fu Hee blocked her contact. Bai Fen was furious and cursed angrily.


    "Fu Hee, just you wait, you will regret ignoring me!"


    Two days before Jia Li''s graduation, Fu Meixu goes to hang out with the movie cast and production crew for thetest movie she will be staring in as the female lead, to be familiar with each other.


    It was the movie director that organized the dinner so that everyone that would be participating in the movie will be familiar with one another before filming starts. This was to create a harmonious atmosphere while filming.


    Trust Fu Meixu to turn up dressed like a rich princess but thankfully she did not overdo it this time around because she had a plot she wanted to execute


    She wanted to get in the good books of the cast members and the production crew by dressing properly anding on time.


    Her act of appearing humble andposed paid off because everyone acted friendly towards her.


    Before today, everyone thought that it wasn''t a good idea for her to y the female lead role since she was a C-list actress while Zhi Ruo yed the second female lead.


    They nearly made a protest and some of them went to meet the director secretly to talk about it but he remained adamant, so they were unhappy.


    Seeing Fu Meixu in a new light today, brightened their mood and the negative opinion they had about her was slowly vanishing.


    Unlike Fu Meixu, Zhi Ruo arrivedte. She didn''t want to go to today''s gathering but her manager forced her out of bed, so she had no choice but toe.


    But the thought of seeing Fu Meixu''s face after being cheated by her caused her to be very angry and her mood was currently delicate.


    When she arrived, she was punished by being asked to drink a ss of beer???? foringte and she did it and sat down.


    They pped for her and cheered her on. They couldn''t be angry with her because she was a veteran, she dressed beautifully and she didn''t act haughtily.


    Fu Meixu sneered and looked away as she masked her annoyance with her ss of beer ????


    Fu Meixu was treated specially because she was the female lead and her manner of approach was likable while Zhi Ruo was treated specially because she was a veteran in the film industry.


    While they were giving toasts, Fu Meixu raised a ss to the director first before raising her ss to the movie cast and production crew.


    And when everyone thought she was through, they saw her raise her ss to Zhi Ruo.


    "Senior, I will have to plead with you to give me a few pointers during filming."


    Zhi Ruo scoffed silently and said to her, "Junior, there is no need to give you a few pointers because you are already so capable to get the female lead role for the movie while still being a C-list actress."


    Zhi Ruo''s words implied a hidden implication as this caused the other casts and crew members to specte its meaning.


    The movie director frowned at Zhi Ruo''s words because it was detrimental and could ruin his career and reputation as it implied that something went underground between him and Fu Meixu which was false.


    The person that asked him to change the female lead was not Fu Meixu, but someone from the higher-ups, and with Zhi Ruo talking carelessly, he was unhappy about it.


    Luckily, Fu Meixu was quick-witted and intervened before the thoughts of the others will go wild.


    "Nonsense. I was only picked for the female lead role because a potential was seen in me unlike some people that were suddenly dumped because they were not fit for the role, so senior, I still have to trouble you to give me a few pointers while filming." Fu Meixu said with a taunting smile with her gaze on her.


    The smile on Zhi Ruo''s face froze, as her looks turned ugly. Fu Meixu''s insult really got to her. Zhi Ruo was the only cast member that knew she was the person that was first considered to y the female lead role before it was given to Fu Meixu.


    So, Fu Meixu''s words were a deep insult to her because her words meant that she didn''t have any potential and was unfit to y the female lead role.


    The cast members didn''t understand the meaning behind Fu Meixu''s words, so they saw nothing wrong with it, apart from a few of the production crew like the movie director and producer, who were aware of all these.


    It took a lot of effort for Zhi Ruo to calm her nerves down. If no one was there with them, she could have killed Fu Meixu instantly.


    Zhi Ruo was forced to ept the toast as she noticed that the director had an unhappy gaze directed towards her and all eyes from the movie cast and production crew were on her.


    After epting the toast, Fu Meixu finished the content of her ss and sat down, while Zhi Ruo remained sitting and took a little sip from her ss.


    Amidst the cheers andughter, Zhi Ruo sent out a text to someone.


    "Are you free to pick me up?"


    A reply came in a minuteter... "No... in a meeting."


    Zhi Ruo was disappointed with the response and Fu Meixu smiled when she saw the change in her countenance.


    5 minutester, Zhi Ruoined of a headache and was allowed to leave. Fu Meixu said she would walk Zhi Ruo out, and the director allowed her while others teased her saying...


    "Sister Meixu, don''t leave from there."

 Chapter 208 - Still Innocent Like She Used To Be

    <h4>Chapter 208 - Still Innocent Like She Used To Be</h4>


    "Why did you follow me?" Zhi Ruo asked when they left the restaurant''s building.


    "Zhi Ruo or is it Senior Zhi Ruo or maybe Sister Zhi Ruo?" Fu Meixu asked with a smile.


    Zhi Ruo rolled her eyes at her and said, "Cut your crap and go straight to the point!"


    "I saw your disappointed look inside. Your boyfriend refused toe and pick you?" Fu Meixu asked with a knowing smile.


    "How do my affairs concern you?" Zhi Ruo asked with an annoyed tone.


    Fu Meixu didn''t say anything on that. She has already confirmed what she was curious about.


    She wanted to confirm from Zhi Ruo if she had a boyfriend and thetter''s reaction was enough to confirm her guesses. This was indeed helpful for her ns.


    Changing the topic Fu Meixu asked, "I wanted to ask you what it feels like to have your position snatched?"


    Zhi Ruo gazed at her angrily and felt like separating her head from her body.


    "Anyone that dares to snatch what belongs to me will surely bleed to pay for it." Zhi Ruo said with a twisted facial expression.


    "Oh! I''m scared." Fu Meixu said and chuckled with a hand over her mouth.


    Zhi Ruo red at her for making fun of her.


    "Do you think I''m joking?" She asked.


    "Well, I hope you''re not because I will love to enjoy all your reactions when I snatch things that belong to you, one by one." Fu Meixu said words for words so she could hear her clearly.


    "You dare?" Zhi Ruo asked with an angry gaze.


    "Don''t be scared yet because I''m only starting to get back at you for what you did. This is the first time I''m snatching something from you, so you should rx and wait for the rest." Fu Meixu said before walking back into the building leaving a furious Zhi Ruo behind.


    A day before Jia Li''s graduation, her three friends came over to the City.


    Fu Hua had already left for work and Jia Li was in the workshop trying something new with the idea she had in mind when a servant came and knocked on the door.


    "Come in." Jia Li said without looking up.


    Being granted permission, the servant entered the workshop and announced to Jia Li with a smile, "Madam, your friends are here to see you."


    Jia Li nced over in surprise and asked with a confused gaze, "Which friends?"


    She had no idea of what the servant was talking about.


    "Madam, 3 of your friends are here to see you and I think one of them is called DanDan." The servant deciphered with a smile. She has just remembered that one of Jia Li''s friends had introduced herself.


    "What?! DanDan is here?" Jia Li said in surprise as she hurriedly stood to her feet and walked towards the door.


    "Madam don''t run." The servant reminded as she chased after her.


    There was a visible excitement on Jia Li''s face as she went down the stairs in a hurry. She ced her hand on the rail as she took the stairs, to be careful of slipping.


    When Jia Li rushed into the living room, she saw the three familiar faces and rushed towards them.


    DanDan, Chang Chang and Daiyu were already sitting on the couch when they heard sounds of hurried footsteps. They 3 nced over and saw Jia Li approaching them.


    They called out to Jia Li with excitement on their face and got up, ready to give her a big hug.


    Jia Li hugged them as she said, "You girls came to see me thank you!"


    "What are thanking us for?" DanDan asked as she released Jia Li from the hug.


    "How did you 3 get here?" Jia Li asked curiously because she knew she was definitely not the one that gave the address to them and this was a private area, so outsiders were not allowed toe in.


    "You dear husband arranged this." Daiyu replied.


    "Fu Hua did this?" Jia Li asked as she was amazed by the situation. She couldn''t believe that Fu Hua would be so considerate as to invite her friends over toe and see her, she was excited.


    "Yes. We were surprised as well. It looks like he is taking good care of you." Chang Chang chipped in, in a soft tone.


    "I have missed you all so much and I''m happy you are here." Jia Li said cheerfully. She was very happy to see friends whom she hasn''t seen in a long time.


    "We are happy to see you as well." DanDan said as she gave Jia Li another hug.


    "Jia Li look at you, you have indeed put on some weight." Chang Chang said as she stared at Jia Li wide-eyed.


    "Really, am I fat?" Jia Li asked as she checked herself out.


    "You''re not fat but it''s very obvious that you put on a little weight." Daiyu said as she emphasized how small it was with her two fingers.


    Jia Li had a little hope as she sighed in relief.


    "Where is the baby, howe I can''t see any bump." Chang Chang asked with her gaze on Jia Li''s stomach.


    "I''m just 3 months pregnant." Jia Li said as she chuckled softly. Then she sat on the couch and her friends followed her as well.


    "Chang Chang, you don''t expect to see a baby bump so soon right?" Daiyu asked with a smiling gaze.


    "I was really expecting to see a baby bump. I can''t wait for the baby toe out already." Chang Chang said with a little regret in her tone.


    "Aiyah! You have to quit acting like a child or you will be bullied. Look at Jia Li, she has matured a lot." DanDan pointed out.


    Jia Li used to be the cutest and most innocent in their group followed by Chang Chang. But now, her innocent traits were slowly disappearing and it didn''t fail to be noticed by DanDan.


    "I''m not mature, I''m still innocent like I used to be." Jia Li said with a frown.


    "Who said you are still innocent?" Daiyu asked with a smile.


    "I don''t understand." Jia Li said with a confused gaze. He didn''t understand what her words meant.


    "Can someone innocent be pregnant?" DanDan asked. Jia Li was still confused, so Daiyu had to exin.


    "It''s obvious that you are no longer innocent because you have done those things between couples and look you are boldly showing us the result.." Daiyu said while pointing at her abdomen.

 Chapter 209 - Improving With Her Kiss

    <h4>Chapter 209 - Improving With Her Kiss</h4>


    Jia Li understood the meaning of her words and blushed. Her cheeks turned crimson red.


    "Hey, Jia Li, how was your first night? Was it painful?" DanDan asked with a curious gaze.


    "You... how can you ask that kind of question?" Jia Li asked with a blush. That question reminded her of her and Fu Hua''s first night together.


    She felt shameful just by thinking about it and she couldn''t believe how her friends could ask such questions tantly.


    "It''s enough, let''s not bully Jia Li." Daiyu said with a smile. DanDan and Chang Chang agreed with her and changed the topic.


    "Where is your husband, howe we don''t see him?" DanDan asked.


    "He has left for work already." Jia Li replied.


    "Too bad we won''t be seeing the legendary Mr. Fu Hua." Chang Chang said with a little regret. The three of them wanted to see what Jia Li''s husband looks like in person, as they didn''t trust the photo on the inte.


    Although the video that was uploaded of him once by Alix''s manager was clear, still, they didn''t want to believe it.


    "Chang Chang, you will still be the one to run away when Mr. Fues because you don''t have the guts" Daiyu said and DanDan made fun of her.


    Chang Chang could notin because a servant walked over and ced some snacks and drinks before them. Then instead of arguing with them, she started eating.


    Jia Li chatted with her friends till it was fine for lunch. The four of them had lunch together before they were set out to leave.


    Jia Li didn''t wish for them to leave yet but they had to, so they could rest in the hotel room arranged for them and wait for the next day to attend her graduation ceremony.


    Jia Li followed them outside the house and watched them enter the ck car that was parked in front of the house after hugging them again.


    Her friends waved goodbye to her as their car slowly drove out from the residence.


    When Fu Hua came back home, he had just stepped into the bedroom when a soft figure ran into his arms and hugged him.


    Fu Hua smiled and hugged her back.


    "Did you see your friends?" He asked.


    "Yes, you really gave me a surprise, thank you!" Jia Li said with an appreciative smile.


    "It''s nothing." Fu Hua said with a smile and kissed her hair.


    Jia Li nced at him. She smiled and tip-toed just to reach his height before bringing her lips to meet with his.


    Fu Hua was surprised by her gesture and kissed her back for a while before gently letting her go.


    "You''re improving with your kisses." Fu Hua said to her and she blushed and tried to leave his arms but he held her tight.


    "Where do you want to run off to?" He asked.


    "You need to change your clothes and freshen up." Jia Li replied.


    "Alright. Wait here for me, I will be out in a few minutes." Fu Hua said while leaving a kiss on her forehead.


    Immediately he went into the inner room, Jia Li escaped. How could she wait to be devoured when hees out from the bathroom? She went into the workshop to hide away from him.


    When Fu Hua came out of the inner room, he didn''t see Jia Li in the bedroom and knew that she ran away. He smiled to himself and went to look for her.


    He found her in the workshop and dragged her to go and have dinner


    "Why did you run away?" He asked.


    "I had some unfinished work." Jia Li answered.


    "Really?" Fu Hua asked with a smirk.


    Jia Li nodded in response.


    After having dinner, Fu Hua didn''t allow her to return to the study. He took her straight to the bedroom.


    "Tomorrow is your day, you need to rest early." Fu Hua said as he covered her with the duvet.


    "I''m nervous." Jia Li said as he brought her into his embrace.


    "You don''t have to be." Fu Hua said as he gazed at her.


    "But I am." Jia Li said with a frown.


    "I''ve got an idea to help you but if only you will agree to it." Fu Hua said.


    "Let me hear it." Jia Li said. She was threading carefully as she didn''t want to fall into any trap.


    "If I y with you a little, you will be distracted and sleep on time for tomorrow." Fu Hua whispered as he touched her face.


    "What kind of y?" Jia Li asked with a yful smile. She could guess what he meant but she was pretending to be innocent.


    "I will show you." Fu Hua said and immediately kissed her lips gently.


    Jia Li closed her eyes and epted his kiss. She was beginning to crave for him. She doesn''t want to do this tonight but the temptation thates from being with a hungry wolf was too much.


    Sometimes you have to feed him and also satisfy your hidden desires.


    After kissing her for a while, Fu Hua released her lips and breathed heavily. It didn''t take up to a minute and Fu Hua''s hands started roaming all over her body.


    Jia Li let out a soft moan but Fu Hua stopped before he could go too far.


    Jia Li nced at him with a questioning look.


    Fu Hua brought her into his arms and kissed her cheek. "You need to sleep now."


    Jia Li was unhappy but she just had to make do with it. He was probably considering that he didn''t want her to wake up tired the next morning.


    Not long after, Jia Li fell asleep in Fu Hua''s arms. Fu Hua made sure she was already deep into sleep before moving her to her side of the bed gently.


    He got out of bed and went into the inner room. He only emerged 10 minutester. He felt a little better as he got into bed. But he was surprised to see Jia Li staring at him.


    "Where did you go to?" She asked in a drowsy tone.


    "Nowhere, sleep.." Fu Hua said as he brought her into his arms and pat her back rhythmically till they both fell asleep again.

    <h4>Chapter 210 - Among The Top 5 Best Graduating Students</h4>


    The next day which was Jia Li''s graduation day. She took her bath on time before going down to eat breakfast and take her drugs.


    The ceremony was supposed to begin by 10 am so, Fu Hua arranged for a makeup artist and a hairstylist to get Jia Li ready.


    When the makeup artist and hairstylist were through with their work, they left the house. But throughout the time they were taking care of Jia Li, they never saw Fu Hua.


    They had no idea that they were in the legendary FJ''s Boss''s house and were currently taking care of his wife.


    They wouldn''t know this because Fu Hua did not contact them directly.


    After getting dressed in the outfit Fu Hua bought for this special day, Jia Li admired her new looks while ncing at the mirror.


    Fu Huaes from behind and checks her out. His eyes went to her fingers and didn''t see the wedding ring on it. He didn''t say anything and went straight to hug her from behind.


    "You look beautiful." Fu Hua whispered to her ear before nibbling on her earlobe.


    "Thank You." Jia Li said with a smile.


    Before Jia Li left the house, Fu Hua wished her sess and arranged for a car and a chauffeur.


    Jia Li hugged him and felt a little sad because he was noting for her graduation ceremony. She didn''t want to ask for too much, so she didn''t say a thing


    When Fu Hua released her from the hug, he saw her sad face but she covered it up immediately and said she was leaving before he could say anything to her.


    Fu Hua escorted her out of the house and watched her get into the car before waving goodbye to her.


    After Jia Li left, Fu Hua went into the house to get dressed as well before leaving the house.


    When Jia Li got to her school, she could feel the atmosphere of celebration. A smile appeared on her face as she nced at the surroundings.


    This time around, she didn''t need to stop at the gate and walk in, she allowed the chauffeur to drive her inside the school premises, she was no longer afraid.


    After stepping out of the car, she met a few of her colleagues and talked to them. All of them were happy they were leaving the school to face a new level of their lives.


    At 9:40 am, all the chitchats between the graduating students came to an end. The students, teachers, and guests started making their way into the big auditorium hall.


    All the graduating students were given their graduation caps ???? and gowns to put on before being given a special position to sit at one corner of the hall.


    The ceremony began with a speech from the school Chancellor who was a woman in her early 50''s.


    While speaking to them, she mentioned the names of the designerpanies that were present in their midst and thanked them.


    When FJ was mentioned, there were cheers from the crowd as FJ was known to be the biggest and the Top designerpany in the country and was amongst the Top 10 in the world, so the students were happy to be honored with their visit.


    Jia Li''s eyes immediately went to the ce the vice-chancellor pointed at to catch a glimpse of the person that was representing FJ, and then, she heard the vice-chancellor add...


    "FJ is represented by their Chief Designer, Miss Sunny. Thank you for honoring our invitation."


    Sunny, who was sitting in a special seat, stood up and waved to the crowd.


    Jia Li was a bit disappointed that Fu Hua was not the person that came, but she still pped along with the others.


    She understood that Fu Hua was a big boss and didn''t have time toe for events like this.


    Jia Li picked interest in FJ''s Chief Designer. From where she was sitting, she couldn''t see her face very well but she could tell she was still young.


    Unlike the others, Jia Li did not dare to underestimate her. Although Sunny might look young, it was surely not an easy fit for her to emerge as FJ''s Chief designer, she must have won a fierce battle to be able to get there.


    At different ces amongst the crowd about 8 people who knew Jia Li very well had their eyes on her.


    Some minutes into the ceremony, it was time for the best graduating students to be called out. Jia Li rxed and paid attention to the person about to make the announcement.


    The person standing on the pulpit was one of the school''s directors. He announced that there were only 5 best graduating students and he would call their names out ording to alphabetical order.


    As the name of the students was being called they stood up and walked to the podium to stand manifest the cheers amidst the apuds from the audience.


    When it got to the 4th person, Jia Li heard her name, ''Qin Jia Li''. It felt like she was in a trance. She thought she heard wrong until she heard her name again and the student sitting beside her nudged her arm.


    "Jia Li, your name is being called."


    Jia Li quickly got up and walked to the podium to stand with the rest of the other students in a shocking state.


    Whatever was happening now was a very big shock to her. Howe no one told her about this? Jia Li couldn''t believe that she would be among graduating students in her set, so she was still shocked.


    Currently, Jia Li was the only female standing with the 3 male students. She could feel all eyes on her and everyone cheered her on.


    When the 5th andst best graduating student was called, another male student stood up and joined them on the podium, so that makes Jia Li the only female student in her set to emerge as one of the best graduating students.

 Chapter 211 - ... Jia Li Had Such Talents

    <h4>Chapter 211 - ... Jia Li Had Such Talents</h4>


    All the eyes on Jia Li were proud of her, more especially, the 8 people that came to cheer her up.


    The next announcement got everyone present, excited. An announcement was made for a smallpetition that will be taken ce in the next few minutes between the best graduating students.


    Thispetition was being held to select the overall best graduating student.


    Jia Li was surprised with how fast things were going. She thought an award would be given to them and then they would be asked to leave. But who knew they were going to be asked to participate in a contest.


    After the announcement, the project works of the best graduating students were wheeled out in 5 mannequins.


    There were gasps of shock and admiration from everyone when they saw the beautiful work of art, designed by the best graduating students.


    Jia Li saw her jaw-dropping gown Fu Hua helped her to make and smiled to herself.


    Later, the students were asked to go and stand beside their work.


    There were different designs of dresses there but they were of different sses because of the different majors in Jia Li''s school.


    Jia Li emerged as the best in her ss, so she could be said to be the best graduating student in her ss.


    The eight people that had their eyes on Jia Li were more than happy for her than anyone else.


    Jia Li''s three friends, Li Huan and his mother, and then three other people had masks on their noses. Amongst them was a female. Her eyes were familiar and that was because it was Fu Meixu.


    Next up, a panel of five judges was picked. 3 were picked from the Designerspanies that were present while the other 3 were picked from amongst the school directors.


    FJ Styles has picked Sunny, went to represent as a judge. Meanwhile, since Jia Li''s dress came into the limelight, she had an attraction towards it. When Jia Li came to stand beside the mannequin with her dress on, her attention shifted to Jia Li.


    She knew good things when she saw them with her eyes, so she had an interest in Jia Li because of the dress she made.


    The school director that made the announcement passed the judging criteria to the panel of judges before leaving the stage.


    The panel of judges nced at the judging criteria before starting.


    The 6 judges went to take a look at the dresses of the best students. They went as far as touching the dresses and asking the students questions.


    When Sunny came to Jia Li''s side, she nced at her and then looked at her dress.


    "Did you design this dress?" She asked.


    "Yes, Ma''am." Jia Li replied politely. She was still a bit nervous.


    "It''s beautiful." Sunny said as she managed a small smile.


    Jia Li was surprised with the praise and hurriedly thanked her "Thank you!"


    Sunny went on to ask her a few questions before going over to thest student.


    When the other judges came to Jia Li''s side, they couldn''t take their eyes off her dress. They asked different questions as well before going off to thest student.


    Jia Li''s dress was attractive and looked like a walking piece of art. The Purple color was eye-catching, and her concept was exceptional.


    It was difficult for anyone to take their eyes off her dress ????, but Jia Li was unaware of it.


    After the judges returned to their seats, the students were asked to exin what inspired their concepts.


    Jia Li''s concept was given by her teacher, ''Design a dress with any vegetable or fruits of your choice and make a dress out of it.''


    Jia Li didn''t know the vegetable or fruit to use for her project, so when she walked into the kitchen store and saw the different vegetables there, the purple cabbage caught her eyes and she became inspired when she thought of what it would be like to make a dress out of the beautiful purple cabbage.


    Jia Li told her short story and the others did as well. Some random questions about the dress they made such as the kind of stitches they used for some parts in the dress and how they used the dye were asked.


    The judges had an interest in Jia Li''s dress because of how beautiful it was and they couldn''t believe that a young girl like her could make a dress just like any skilled fashion designer/dressmaker.


    She was asked about the dye she used and the kind of materials that were used for her dress. Few other random questions were asked and she answered all of them.


    She could feel her back was sweating from all the questions that were thrown at her. She wondered if she did wrong with the dress she designed. She was praying in her mind for the unending questions to stop and her silent prayers were answered.


    Sunny spoke on her behalf with an alluring tone, so the judges shifted their attention to the other students.


    Jia Li could still feel the attention on her from the crowd and she felt like disappearing. She couldn''t wait to get off the stage.


    Atst, when they were allowed to go back to seats, she didn''t dy and immediately walked off the stage because the attention was too much.


    Somewhere in the crowd, one gentleman in the crowd, had a proud smile on his face as he gazed at Jia Li.


    An older man with a nose mask who was sitting on another role also had a proud smile on his face. He was proud of Jia Li. And the person was no other than, Grandfather Fu.


    "I never knew Jia Li had such talents." Mrs. Li said to Li Huan in amazement. She was really surprised that the girl she had always known was gifted.


    She couldn''t believe that Jia Li was the person that designed the dress that managed to garner the attention of everyone in the auditorium.


    "I am surprised as well. Her talents were well hidden." Li Huan said with his gaze on Jia Li.. He was proud of her but he couldn''t really smile because she did not belong to him.

 Chapter 212 - Two Awards In One Day Plus Surprises

    <h4>Chapter 212 - Two Awards In One Day Plus Surprises</h4>


    As other entertainment activities were going on, the Judges werepiling the results.


    Jia Li was watching a famous girl group perform on stage with her train thoughts of thoughts asionally shifting to the oue of the results.


    Before she was not bothered about this kind of thing, but since she was amongst the Top 5, she couldn''t stop herself from being bothered about the final results.


    After the performance from the girl group, it was time to announce the final results.


    Without wasting much time, the vice-chancellor called out the winner''s name.


    "The best student of 20XX set of The Prestigious school of ********* goes to Miss Qin Jia Li"


    This was an earth-shattering announcement. There were loud cheers and apuds from everyone in the room including the vice-chancellor.


    Jia Li couldn''t believe her ears ???? did the Vice-Chancellor just mention her name as the student of the year?


    The students that were sitting beside Jia Li congratted Jia Li with happy smiles on their faces.


    "Please Quieten down." The Vice-Chancellor said to them, as she still had another announcement to make.


    When everyone was calm, she made another announcement that shocked them.


    "The winner for the dressmaking project goes to, Miss Qin Jia Li."


    There were apud and cheers from everyone, as they were not surprised like the first time, as most of them thought that Jia Li truly deserved that ward.


    ''What''s going on here?'' Jia Li thought. Things have taken an unexpected turn. She couldn''t believe that she got 2 awards ???? in one day.


    Without waiting for anyone to calm down, the Vice-Chancellor continued...


    "With a pping ovation, let''s wee Miss Qin to the stage to give us a short speech."


    Not just a pping ovation, a standing ovation was given to Jia Li as she made her way to the stage to receive her awards.


    She took pictures with the Vice-Chancellor and the panel of judges, and a certificate of honors was given to her.


    After taking the pictures with them, It was time for Jia Li to give her speech, so her teacher came and took the awards from her.


    When Jia Li came to stand at the podium, she felt a light reflection and she instinctively covered her eyes. And when she felt the light disappear, she nced into the crowd.


    Jia Li could feel someone had her eyes on her, and the gaze was so strong, but not filled with malice.


    Atst, she managed to catch a glimpse of someone in the crowd, he had a nose mask on, and she felt he was familiar, but didn''t know who he was.


    Jia Li started her speech with a vote of thanks.


    "Thank you, Vice-Chancellor for giving me this opportunity. I am very happy..." Jia Li went on to give her speech. After that, when she was giving another vote of thanks, she thanked her teachers and the people rted to her school, thening down to her family, she said...


    "Although my parents arete, I still want to thank them for supporting me when they were alive. I want to thank my new family for supporting me. My old man believed in me the first time he saw my talent, and he sent me to this prestigious institute of learning. I want to thank someone special because he thought me a lot and that knowledge helped me to get my awards today..."


    Jia Li''s speech was touching, she talked about Grandfather Fu and Fu Hua, and then she thanked her friends.


    It was not only Grandfather Fu and Fu Hua that understood her words, but Li Huan also did as well, and jealousy burned in him.


    "Do you know the people Jia Li is talking about?." Mrs. Li whispered to Li Huan. She was very curious to know the special people Jia Li talked about.


    "Mum, I don''t know." Li Huan replied with his gaze on Jia Li.


    Jia Li thanked her friends as well, and other people that supported her. Close to the end of her speech, she saw the man with a mask in the crowd, removed the mask.


    She was shocked to see that Fu Hua had been around the whole time.


    Jia Li was distracted when she was Fu Hua. She couldn''t believe her eyes. A smirk turned up on Fu Hua''s lips, and he immediately fixed the mask back on his face.


    Jia Li was so happy that she finished her speech immediately, she also saw Fu Hua send her a flying kiss.


    When Jia Li got off the podium, her teacher gave her awards back to her and she returned to her seat with them.


    From where she was seating, Jia Li''s eyes began to wander through the crowd. She saw Fu Hua again, and her gaze rested on him.


    The two gazed at each other without giving out signs again.


    ''Are there more people here?.'' Jia Li thought.


    She was thinking that there may be some other people she didn''t know who came to see her, so she nced around again, and she saw her friends waving at her.


    She waved back at them. She continued looking around and saw Li Huan and his mother. She was surprised. Li Huan did not tell her that he would being with his mother.


    Jia Li saw Fu Meixu andstly, her old man she just talked about.


    Jia Li felt emotional seeing the people close to here to celebrate and cheer her up.


    Fu Hua frowned when Jia Li moved her gaze away from him. But when she saw her look like she was about to cry, he became worried.


    He only felt better when he saw her emotions return to normal. Deep down in her heart, he was very proud of her.


    His little wife has made waves already,? it looks like she didn''t know.


    Right there, Fu Hua sent a text to Sunny, the Chief Designer of FJ Styles. He asked her to get the rights to Jia Li''s dress from the school director immediately.


    Sunny who was sitting and watching the Vice-Chancellor give a closing speech, heard her phone vibrate, and checked the text she just received from her Boss.


    After reading the contents of the text, she smiled and sighed in relief. She had her eyes on both Jia Li and her dress, but she was thinking of telling Fu Hua about it when he sent the text.


    ''But how does he know about the dress?'' Sunny thought with suspicion.. She was guessing that he may be around and sitting somewhere in the auditorium.

 Chapter 213 - Jia Li Meets Grandfather Fu

    <h4>Chapter 213 - Jia Li Meets Grandfather Fu</h4>


    Sunny went to speak to the school authorities before other interestedpanies would request it.


    When the ceremony Officially came to an end, Jia Li left the auditorium with her awards ???? certificate and medal ???? but she was immediately surrounded by the reporters.


    Different questions were thrown at her. Jia Li was really shocked by the attention she was getting from the media. The shutter sounds from their cameras couldn''t stop for a minute.


    Jia Li was lucky to be saved by her teacher who helped her to get away from them


    "Thank you, teacher." Jia Li said to her teacher gratefully. She didn''t know she would have been able to escape if not for her.


    "There is no problem. I will see youter, I have something to talk to the Vice-Chancellor about." Her teacher said to her.


    When her teacher left, Jia Li was not about to rx for a minute before her friends came to find her. They screamed her name excitedly as they ran to her side.


    "Congrattions Jia Li!".


    "You''ve made us proud!"


    "I was so shocked but we are proud of you!"


    Her friends congratted her, they hugged her and took so many pictures. While they were chatting Grandfather Fu was being interviewed by the reporters.


    He had juste out of the building without his nose mask when the reporters came to his side. Grandfather Fu was well respected, so the reporters were not rude to him.


    Butler Lu came over with a few soldiers to surround the old man. Before the graduation ceremony started, the old man didn''t allow them toe in with him, so they had no choice but to wait outside for him.


    Questions like, ''Were you invited for this ceremony, Are you interested in the fashion industry, and what do you have to say about the best graduating student?'' were asked.


    Grandfather Fu was very happy to reply to the third question. He was proud to talk about her beloved granddaughter-inw.


    Grandfather Fu replied to a few of their questions cheerfully before his escorts cleared the path for him.


    The reporters didn''t chase after him and instead continued standing where they were to interview more people, especially the representatives from the Top designerpanies that were in attendance.


    They wanted to ask them so many questions like what they thought about the newly awarded best student of the school and the best fashion designer of the school.


    Jia Li was still chatting with her friends when Fu Meixu walked over. She hugged her and congratte her.


    "Sister Meixu, you left your filming toe here?" Jia Li asked as she was touched by the gesture. She knew that the movie she was starring in has begun to film.


    "It''s nothing. I came here to cheer you up as you ended up making all of us proud, it''s worth the trip. I don''t have enough time to stay, I have to travel to the filming location right away, I have a scene to shoot tomorrow morning." Fu Meixu said to her.


    "Thank you foring." Jia Li said to her in a grateful tone.


    Fu Meixu took a few shots with her before leaving hurriedly, as she didn''t want to miss her flight.


    "Was that your sister-inw?" DanDan asked.


    "She is my cousin-inw, I have never met my sister-inw before." Jia Li revealed.


    "Why is that?" Daiyu asked in surprise.


    "She''s not in the country." Jia Li replied.


    "Oh..."


    Jia Li was looking around when she caught sight of Grandfather Fu walking towards her. She walked out to him excitedly and ran towards him with her awards.


    "Grandfather!"


    As she called out to him, lots of attention was attracted to her but Jia Li was too excited to care.


    Grandfather Fu smiled brightly when he heard Jia Li call out to him. But he became worried when he saw her running towards him. He was scared she might trip and fall, she was pregnant after all.


    When Jia Li came to his side, she wanted to hug him but the things she was holding were too much for her, luckily, Butler Lu helped to hold them for her.


    Jia Li gave her old man a side hug with an excited smile. She was very happy to see him and couldn''t hide the joy in her heart.


    "Did you n on not telling me about your graduation?" Grandfather Fu asked with a smile.


    "No, grandfather, I thought you will be busy and I didn''t want to disturb you." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    "Who says you are disturbing me? Next time, don''t think like that and tell me whatever you have in mind." Grandfather Fu said to her.


    "Okay, grandfather. Thank you foring." Jia Li said happily.


    She took pictures with grandfather Fu and was chatting with him when her friends walked over.


    "Are these your friends?" Grandfather Fu asked when he saw the three youngdies.


    "Yes, Grandfather." Jia Li replied and went ahead to introduce her friends to him.


    Her friends greeted the old man politely and he talked to them for a few seconds before turning to Jia Li to say, "Li girl, I have to leave now, go ahead and talk to your friends, your present will be delivered to you when you get home."


    "Thank you, grandfather." Jia Li said to him joyously. She had no idea the old man would prepare a gift for her and she was grateful to him.


    Butler Lu handed Jia Li''s awards back to her before leaving with the old man and his escorts and Jia Li''s friends took the awards from her.


    When Grandfather Fu left, Jia Li was still happy and looking towards the direction he left while her friends talked excitedly because of how well she was treated. When Li Huan and his mother approached them.


    "Jia Li?" Mrs. Li called out to Jia Li with a smile.


    Jia Li nced at them and the smile on her face rxed a bit as she walked to them.


    Her friends greeted Li Huan since they recognized him. He was their senior in high school back then. They greeted his mother before moving away to give them space to talk.


    "Jia Li, congrattions on graduating." Mrs. Li said to her with a happy smile.


    "Thank you, Auntie!" Jia Li said with a polite smile. She felt things were awkward because of Li Huan''s presence.. He never mentioned bringing his mother to her graduation ceremony and she didn''t know how to feel about it.

 Chapter 214 - My Husband

    <h4>Chapter 214 - My Husband</h4>


    "Congrattions Jia Li on your graduation!" Li Huan said as he handed a fancy bag over to her.


    "Thank you, brother Huan." Jia Li said as she epted the gift from him.


    Mrs. Li noticed that things were awkward between her son and Jia Li and tried to make things lively.


    "Jia Li, you made us proud and your parents would be proud they had a daughter like you." Mrs. Li said to her.


    "Thank you, Auntie!" Jia Li said in appreciation.


    Being reminded of herte parents was still an emotional struggle to Jia Li. She still felt sad every time she remembered that her parents were no longer with her but she was still happy that she was not alone. She had people like Grandfather Fu and Fu Hua supporting her.


    "Jia Li, I heard from my son that you are married and you are pregnant? How is the Fu family treating you?" Mrs. Li asked.


    Jia Li nced at Li Huan who looked away from her. She was surprised to hear that from his mother. And she nced at him because she was sure he was the one that told her about it.


    Somewhere, Fu Hua was watching them with a mask over half of his face. His gaze was cold as he watched his wife conversing with his childhood crush and his mother.


    Fu Hua was still staring at them when his Grandfather came to stand beside him.


    "If you continue standing here and watching them, your wife will be snatched away from you. Do you know how hard I worked to get her to marry you when I noticed they already had eyes on her?" Grandfather Fu asked with his gaze on her, as he recounted how he noticed that Li Huan and his mother had ideas about Jia Li.


    Fu Hua looked away from Jia Li and nced at the old man that was standing beside him. He does not doubt that his old man would be able to recognize him no matter the disguise he used.


    "You really worked hard to make her my wife." Fu Hua said to him.


    No one knew if he was praising or making fun of his old man.


    "Why are you standing here and looking at me? Hurry up, go and im your wife." Grandfather Fu said to him before walking away with his entourage.


    Butler Lu bowed to him before leaving as well. He was surprised he came for his wife''s graduation ceremony and the old man didn''t look surprised to see him.


    Without wasting time, Fu Hua listened to his grandfather''s advice and walked towards Jia Li.


    Mrs. Li was still speaking with Jia Li when she noticed Fu Hua''s figure approaching them, so she looked over with Li Huan.


    Jia Li saw they were distracted and followed their gaze and turned around only to see Fu Hua approaching. A smile bloomed on her face as she stood there and waited for him to arrive.


    If there was another reason that made Jia Li happy, then it was Fu Hua''s presence in her graduation ceremony.


    In the morning, she was sad because she thought he wouldn''te for it. Fu Hua knew the reason she was sad but he pretended not to know as he sent her away.


    He wanted to surprise her bying without notice and his ns worked perfectly without obstruction.


    When Fu Hua got to her side, he hugged her shoulder and said to her, "Congrattions!"


    "Thank you!" Jia Li replied with a full smile.


    Their interactions were enough to tell Li Huan and his mother that Fu Hua was her husband.


    Li Huan and his mother were surprised that they had such a good rtionship with each other but still, Mrs. Li was unhappy.


    Fu Hua moved his gaze to Li Huan and his mother before asking Jia Li to introduce them. Jia Li was surprised by his request but still went ahead to introduce them.


    "This is my senior from high school, Brother Li Huan and this is his mother, Mrs. Li. Brother Huan, Auntie, this is my husband."


    Although Jia Li did not call his name, Fu Hua was already very much satisfied with the way she introduced him as her husband. He was the only one satisfied, as Li Huan and his mother felt sour in their heart.


    Mrs. Li felt that the Fu family did not deserve Jia Li after she saw her potential daughter-inw receive awards. She felt she was a hidden wife with a hidden talent in fashion and designing.


    Mrs. Li thought that way after she heard from her son that he didn''t know who Jia Li''s husband was from the profile of the Fu family on the inte since their marriage to her was hidden.


    Seeing Jia Li''s husband standing before her, Mrs. Li knew she was wrong about what she thought of him. Clearly, he was physically alright and nothing seems to be wrong with him.


    Seeing the interaction between them, she didn''t think they were pretending to be close because Jia Li''s facial expression did not lie.


    Mrs. Li was dissatisfied that the man Jia Li got married to was so much times better than her son. She nced at Fu Hua thoroughly but she didn''t find any w.


    This was a disheartening situation for her.


    As for Li Huan, he felt bad when he saw how close Jia Li was to Fu Hua. He kept saying that he could have been the one by her side instead of Fu Hua but he was a step toote.


    When he saw Fu Hua, he felt Fu Hua was familiar but the mask covering half of his face didn''t let him take a proper look. He could only see his eyes, which had a cold gaze directed towards him.


    Li Huan was I curious in knowing which grandson he was, so he could tell who he was since he still didn''t know what Jia Li''s husband looked like.


    Li Huan and his mother couldn''t continue chatting with Jia Li since Fu Hua was there, so they left after saying a few words to Jia Li.


    When they left, Jia Li turned to take a proper look at Fu Hua before saying with a smile, "I had no idea you would being for my graduation."

    <h4>Chapter 215 - Hot Intimate Exchange</h4>


    "I wanted to surprise you, so I didn''t say anything to you! Did you like my surprise?" Fu Hua asked with a smiling gaze.


    Although Jia Li could not see his facial expressions, she could still tell from his eyes that he was smiling.


    "Yes, I loved it." Jia Li said while nodding happily.


    "Congrattions on the awards." Fu Hua said.


    "Thank you, I couldn''t have done this without you." Jia Li said gratefully.


    Fu Hua smiled as his gaze turned evil, "Since I helped you so much, how do you n to repay me?"


    "Don''t worry, I will surely repay you." Jia Li assured him. She was very grateful to him.


    She knew she couldn''t have won these awards without him. Because of his pointers and guidance, she was able to make it this far.


    Her design was very beautiful but that was not the only criteria for winning. The quality of the material used, the kind of stitches used for different ces, plus other things were put into consideration as well.


    Fu Hua was satisfied with her response. He was happy that his little wife promised to repay him, so he whispered to her, "I''m looking forward to it."


    Jia Li smiled as he pats her hair gently. Both of them were not afraid of being seen by anyone because Fu Hua had a mask over half of his face but still, they could not act so intimate.


    "Please can we take pictures together?" Jia Li pleaded with him with pouted lips. Apart from the picture on their marriage certificate, they do not have another one taken together.


    Because today was a special day for her, Fu Hua didn''t want to reject her request. He nced around and saw that people were busy with different things


    Jia Li knew what he was worried about and said, "I will take you to a private ce for the picture."


    Fu Hua wanted to say it was okay since not many people were paying attention to them but he stopped when he heard she was going to take him to a private ce.


    It wouldn''t be difficult to guess the naughty thoughts that were going through his mind but the innocent Jia Li was oblivious to it.


    Jia Li called her friends over, so they could help then take the pictures.


    Her friends were satisfied when they got to the quiet location with only them there and saw Fu Hua take off his mask.


    They were amazed at how handsome Fu Hua was. Chang Chang almost passed out, while DanDan covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming. Daiyu was the only one still rational in their midst.


    When Jia Li and Fu Hua posed for the pictures, DanDan handed the awards to Jia Li, so she could still take the pictures with them in her graduation dress.


    Daiyu took several shots of them, while Chang Chang kept showing them different poses, and surprisingly, Fu Hua listened to them.


    After taking pictures together, Jia Li''s friends took her awards and left, leaving only the two of them there.


    Without warning, Fu Hua held Jia Li''s face and covered her lips with his mouth in a hot kiss. Jia Li was surprised by his gesture but she was quick to respond to his hot kisses.


    As their lips were intertwined, Fu Hua''s tongue pushed into her mouth and explores it hungrily. His hands moved from her face to her neck and then to her back.


    If they were not outside, he would have made out fully with her.


    After the hot intimate exchange, Jia Li''s cheeks turned crimson as she rested her head on his chest.


    Fu Hua held her in his arms for a while as they slowly caught their breath.


    Before they left that ce, Fu Hua helped Jia Li to adjust her clothes.


    "You did very well with your speech." He said to her.


    Jia Li knew he was talking about the part where she praised him and grandfather Fu and said a word of thanks.


    When they walked out of that ce and returned to the ce others were standing, Fu Hua noticed Sunnying with the Vice-Chancellor, a few of the school''s directors and Jia Li''s teacher and knew it was time for him to leave.


    He had his nose mask back on, so anyone that didn''t know him well enough will not be able to recognize him.


    "Jia Li, I have to leave now. I will wait for you in the car, tell your friends they are joining us for lunch." Fu Hua said to Jia Li.


    "You''re leaving already?" Jia Li asked with a frown. She did not want him to leave so soon.


    "For now, yes. I will wait for you in the car. Some people areing to see you." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li turned to look behind and saw the peopleing in her direction. She turned back to look at Fu Hua but she discovered that he had left already.


    ''He left so quickly!'' She thought to herself.


    Sunnyes to Jia Li''s side with the Vice-Chancellor, Jia Li''s teacher and one of the school''s directors. She saw Fu Hua walking away and found his back familiar.


    She only retracted her suspicious gaze when Jia Li''s teacher formally introduced her to Jia Li.


    "Jia Li, meet the Chief Designer of FJ Styles. We have already signed a deal with them for the exclusive rights to produce your dress." Jia Li''s teacher announced immediately she finished introducing them.


    Jia Li was amazed and wondered if Fu Hua knew about it without knowing that he was the one that orchestrated the n.


    "Miss Qin, FJ found your talents brilliant and they are interested in having a coboration with you." The vice-chancellor announced to Jia Li.


    Jia Li was excited within and couldn''t want to tell Fu Hua about it, although she knew the coboration might not work.


    Sunny mentioned the coboration and talked about FJ Styles. She told her not to be in a hurry to reject her and to think things through.


    "... You have 2 months to think about it, then you can get back to me with your decision." Sunny said to her with a smile and Jia Li nodded in response.


    She already knew things wouldn''t go through but she still responded positively to her approach.. Before Sunny left, they exchanged E-mail addresses.

 Chapter 216 - Fu Huas Invitation For Lunch

    <h4>Chapter 216 - Fu Hua''s Invitation For Lunch</h4>


    When the others left, Jia Li was left standing with her teacher. Her teacher spoke to her for a while before other fashion and designerpanies came to meet her.


    Jia Li rejected them politely but since they really wanted to work with her, they gave their offers and exchanged E-mail addresses with her.


    "Have you thought of where you want to work?" Her teacher asked.


    "Yes." Jia Li replied. She has had up her mind that she wants to work in FJ.


    "I hope you make the right decisions because you have a bright future ahead of you. I didn''t know you have such talents when you joined newly but as time went by, I discovered your hidden talents. You have improved a lot with your dressmaking, did you receive a private tutor from someone?" Her teacher asked curiously.


    "Teacher you''re right, I received guidance from a veteran in the field." Jia Li said with a smile.


    Jia Li''s teacher didn''t ask any more questions and only went ahead to encourage her.


    Jia Li took pictures with her ssmates and the other students that approached her. She was invited out to celebrate but she rejected their invitation politely. Her friends and Fu Hua were still waiting for her.


    Jia Li''s friends surrounded her when she approached them. They kept hailing her because of the attention she got. They called her a celebrity and theyughed over it.


    "Jia Li we have to celebrate today. Do you have any good ce we can go to celebrate?" Daiyu asked.


    "There is no need to worry about it, someone''s taking us out for lunch." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    "By someone, do you mean, Your husband?" Chang Chang asked as she sent a wink ????


    Jia Li nodded in response as she failed to conceal the blush on her face.


    Jia Li chatted with her friends as they made their way to the car park.


    Jia Li didn''t need to search for Fu Hua because she saw him standing beside his ck car with that mask on his face. They quickly made their way towards him.


    "Are you through?" Fu Hua asked with a gentle tone and Jia Li nodded.


    "Get in the car." Fu Hua said as he opened the front passenger door for her.


    Jia Li opened the back door for her friends before getting into the front seat.


    In the car, Fu Hua took off his nose mask and ignited the car''s engine. The windows of the car were tinted and so no one could see them.


    Jia Li''s friends sat at the back and remained calm, unlike their usual selves. They were inside the car of a big shot, who would believe if they told them?


    Fu Hua drove straight to a high-end restaurant and they were taken to the room he booked.


    The manager of the restaurant came with about 4 waiters to take their order. Jia Li was kind of used to this treatment so she wasn''t bothered, unlike her friends who were smiling sheepishly.


    They were also very happy that they could sit at the same table as the Big Shot and all this was because they were friends with Jia Li.


    Jia Li helped her friends to take their order since some of the dishes there had weird names. Her friends have not been to this kind of restaurant before, so they couldn''t be med.


    Fu Hua ced an order for him and Jia Li and he was being very careful with it because Jia Li was pregnant, and so had to be careful with what she eats.


    While waiting for their order to arrive, the cake and champagne Fu Hua had ordered while booking a space in the restaurant, arrived.


    Jia Li and her friends screamed in surprise. The cake ???? had 2 tiers, and it was decorated beautifully.


    ''Happy Graduation Jia Li'' was written on the cake.


    Jia Li turned to Fu Hua to thank him. She was very happy with the surprise.


    The manager ced the cake in front of Jia Li and the bucket of Champagne ???? at the center of the table.


    "Congrattions, Miss!" The manager said to Jia Li with a polite smile.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li said excitedly.


    Jia Li''s friends couldn''t hide their excitement. All the weird thoughts they had about Fu Hua immediately vanished from their heads.


    They could only think that Fu Hua was a good husband to their friend, Jia Li.


    ''What a young, sweet, handsome, wealthy man.'' Chang Chang thought with a smile. DanDan and Daiyu were not left out. They were all happy with Fu Hua''s gesture and they found his treatment, romantic.


    Jia Li blew out the candle ????? on the cake ???? and Fu Hua popped the champagne ???? before pouring the contents into their sses.


    There was a waiter around to serve them as well. He carried the cake and left their side.


    When their food order arrived, they ate happily and chatted a little bit while eating. Fu Hua was quiet and didn''t join in their conversation.


    After eating, the cake was brought back to their table. Each of them had a piece of the cake, and the rest was packaged in a beautiful box ????


    While eating the cake, Fu Hua took out 3 movie tickets from his pocket and passed them to Jia Li.


    "For your friends." He said.


    Jia Li was surprised as she took the movie tickets from him and passed them to her friends.


    It was difficult for her friends to contain their excitement when they saw the tickets to the movie they have been anticipating to watch.


    The only thing that kept them from screaming was because they didn''t want to embarrass Jia Li. They quickly thanked Fu Hua with smiles on their faces.


    Looking at the time on the movie tickets, they knew they had to leave soon, so they finished their cake and champagne ???? before standing up to leave.


    "A man standing outside the door will take you to the cinema and send you back to your hotel." Fu Hua said to them.


    They thanked Fu Hua again and said goodbye to Jia Li before rushing out. They couldn''t afford to miss their movie.


    Jia Li turned to nce at Fu Hua after her friends left and asked, "What about us?"

 Chapter 217 - An Expensive Gift

    <h4>Chapter 217 - An Expensive Gift</h4>


    Jia Li would never have known that Fu Hua sent her friends away on purpose, just so he could be alone with her.


    "You don''t want to spend time with me?" Fu Hua asked.


    "No, I didn''t mean that." Jia Li replied as she shook her head with a frantic expression on her face.


    "Bring your seat closer to my side." Fu Hua said to her as he dipped his hands inside the pockets of his jacket which was hung on his seat.


    Jia Li adjusted her seat, so she was not sitting very close to him.


    Fu Hua took out a small square-shaped box from his pocket and handed it to her.


    Jia Li''s eyes widened in surprise and she took the gift from him. "For me?"


    "Yes, it''s your graduation gift, open the box and take a look at the gift." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li loosens the small ribbon on the box and opened it. There, she saw a beautiful gold ne sitting inside with a heart-shaped pink Diamond ???? at the center.


    "You... you got such an expensive ne for me?" Jia Li asked as she stared at the gift wide-eyed. She was shocked to receive such an expensive gift from him.


    "Why not? Give it here, I will put it on for you." Fu Hua said as he took the box from her brought you the beautiful ne.


    He proudly put it on her neck and fastened the lock.


    "Do you like my gift?" Fu Hua asked with a smile as he watched her reaction.


    "I like it and your surprise presence at my graduation was the perfect gift for me." Jia Li replied as she touched the ne.


    "I''m d you liked my gifts and surprises." Fu Hua said with a smile as she watched how carefully she caressed the ne.


    "How much did you buy this for?" Jia Li asked worriedly. She was afraid that the gift was too expensive for her.


    "It''s enough to buy a small country." Fu Hua replied and that scared Jia Li out of her wits.


    Jia Li was shocked as she felt her neck was starting to feel heavy because of the exorbitant price of the ne.


    She was afraid that her head would be cut off if any thief knows the worth of the ne on her neck.


    Fu Hua nearlyughed out loud when he saw her reaction. He chuckled softly and said to make her rx, "Rx and enjoy wearing the jewelry, I was only joking with you."


    Jia Li sighed in relief. She didn''t know if Fu Hua said that to make her rx or not but she automatically epted his words, as she didn''t want to always worry about her head rolling off her body.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua finished their Champagne before leaving for their home. When they returned to the house, the servants congratted Jia Li on her graduation.


    Jia Li returned their greetings before climbing up the stairs with her awards, while Fu Hua handed the cake to the housekeeper and followed after Jia Li.


    "Where should I keep them?" Jia Li asked when they entered their bedroom.


    "You can keep them in the workshop. Leave them there, I wille and ce them properly myself." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li smiled and left the bedroom for the workshop, while Fu Hua went into the inner room to bath.


    When Jia Li returned, Fu Hua was already dressed in his nightwear.


    "What took you so long?" He asked with his gaze on her.


    "Nothing." Jia Li said and rushed into the inner room to bath. She was embarrassed to tell him she has been admiring her awards and forgot to return to the bedroom.


    Jia Li didn''t need to say the truth because Fu Hua could already guess what she has been up to.


    He smiled and went toy in bed, and picked up his phone to keep himself busy while waiting for her.


    After bathing, Jia Li walked into the closet to pick a nightdress and remembered her promise to Fu Hua.


    She blushed when she touched the short skirts he bought for her. Since he bought them, she has never worn them and right now, she wanted to try one of them to repay him.


    Jia Li knew what would happen if she seduced Fu Hua. He has been looking for an opportunity to eat her clean and right now, he would have allowed her to rest for the night but she optioned to send herself to him.


    Good luck with that Jia Li.


    Jia Li dressed in one of the short skirts and picked up a singlet to wear. Next, she let her hair down and walked towards the mirror to take a look at herself.


    Seeing her thick thighs and how short the skirt was on her, she blushed. The singlet she wore, had a pad inside, so it lifted her boobs and revealed her cleavage.


    "Am I going too far?" Jia Li asked herself. She couldn''t help but feel embarrassed.


    Wild thoughts were still running in her head when she heard Fu Hua call her name from right outside the door. She quickly answered and said she wasing, so he didn''t have toe in and see her.


    Fu Hua went back to the bed toy down after he was certain that Jia Li was okay. He went back to pressing his phone but when he saw Jia Li''s attire after she stepped out a minuteter, his phone slipped from his hands.


    This was a jaw-dropping scene he saw with his eyes.


    Fu Hua stared at her in shock. He was tongue-tied and didn''t know what to say to her. His body was starting to be warm as the thing in-between his legs reacted.


    "You...You... what are you putting on? Don''t you want to sleep tonight?" Fu Hua asked after he found his voice.


    Jia Li was ufortable as his gaze roamed all over her body and she tried to drag her skirt down a bit but failed.


    When he asked that question, she blushed and felt she was a little too bold.


    Fu Hua felt his blood boiling when he saw her thighs and almost half of her boobs that were out of her clothes.

 Chapter 218 - Intimate Night With Fu Hua

    <h4>Chapter 218 - Intimate Night With Fu Hua</h4>


    Fu Hua stared at her for a short while and no longer felt like having mercy on her because she had already woken the sleeping tiger irresistibly.


    "Come here." Fu Hua said as he sat up on their bed with his feet touching the rugged floor. Jia Li looked up at him before slowly walking towards him. She felt she was in trouble when she met his gaze.


    Fu Hua waited till she was standing in front of him before he stretched his arms and pulled her to sit on hisp.


    Jia Li sat on hisps and circled her arms around him. She couldn''t look at him in the eyes, his gaze was so strong on her.


    Fu Hua pulled her in for a kiss ????. He wasn''t gentle at all but he wasn''t rough either.


    As he kissed her, his hands reached for boobs, squeezing them as gently as possible, so as not to hurt her. Since she became pregnant, her boobs were sensitive and easily hurt if he wasn''t gentle.


    Jia Li epted all his kisses and felt something poking her butts strongly.


    Fu Hua moved his hands to touch her thighs. Jia Li shuddered and broke the kiss, gazing at him with her misty eyes that incurred pity, Fu Hua felt more aroused than ever.


    He caressed her thighs before slipping his fingers in between her legs. When he touched her there, she moaned softly.


    "You are not wearing any panties?" Fu Hua asked in surprise as he continues to feel her wet milky way.


    Jia Li hummed in reply as she had her eyes closed.


    "I can''t wait any longer." Fu Hua said as he pulled her up. Jia Li had no idea of what he wanted to do but she couldn''t stand for long because she felt weird inside of her and the ce he touched was hot and ufortable, she also needed him inside of her.


    Fu Hua pulled the waistband of his pajamas down a bit and let his little monster out.


    Jia Li blushed when she saw his little brother. She gazed at it intently. This was what was going to enter her and it was so huge.


    Fu Hua released his little brother before turning to nce at Jia Li. "You want it?" He teased.


    Jia Li felt her face go red but she still nodded in response. The more she lived with him, the more she felt how dirty-minded he was. He never ceased to find a new way to tease her.


    "I will give it to you." Fu Hua said as he pulled her to sit on him again. He immediately captured her lips and kissed her till she was still senseless.


    Jia Li was already naked underneath, so she kept feeling the skin of his little brother against her and she couldn''t stop moaning even with his hands roaming all over her body.


    Atst, without warning, Fu Hua used his hands to pull her skirt up, exposing her butts to the air. He grabbed her butts and ground her against him.


    Jia Li moaned loudly and became distracted. Right now, she didn''t hope for any other thing than for him to enter her. He seemed to have heard her secret cries because he lifted her butts a little and without guidance, he slipped inside of her.


    Jia Li couldn''t stop herself from moaning when he entered her and started moving inside of her. This was the first time they were trying that style and it felt so good.


    Jia Li instinctively followed the rhythm, Fu Hua used to move in and out of her. She discovered that she had to be the one moving, so she started moving rhythmically, while his hands kept massaging her ass and guiding her to grind against him.


    Fu Hua kissed her lips before moving his lips to her neck and then boobs. He let go of her boobs and pulled her singlet down, so he could have full ess to her boobs.


    Finally, when her boobs were disyed in front of him, he couldn''t help but start sucking her tits as his hands went back to her butts to grab them.


    Jia Li couldn''t stop herself from moaning as she caressed his hair and shut her eyes. She continued feeling the waves of pleasure till she had her release and Fu Hua came a few secondster.


    As they were breathing heavily, Fu Hua lifted her butts and slipped out of her. He put her on the bed so she couldy with her back on it.


    Next, he grabbed her legs ???? and held them open before slipping inside of her again. He banged her hard but he was careful not to go too deep inside of her.


    This was an unexpected move to Jia Li. She had to cover her mouth with her hands as her moans got louder. Fu Hua on the other hand, let out a groan while he moved in and out of her at a fast pace.


    He had his gaze on her and he liked her reactions to everything he did to her.


    After a few minutes, they both found their release. They only rested for a minute or two before Fu Hua turned her to lie on her side as entered her again.


    He wasn''t lying behind her but was still kneeling on the bed when he entered her.


    That night, Fu Hua guided Jia Li and did 2 more different positions before she started pleading with him to let her go.


    Jia Li didn''t know Fu Hua had so much willpower and energy to continue throughout the night. If she didn''t beg him to stop, he might not have ever thought about it.


    She was also surprised when he finally let go of her and gave her a deep kiss on the lips and said to her, "I wouldn''t have let you go if you were not pregnant."


    That means if she wasn''t pregnant, he would continue going at it even if she pleaded with him.


    Jia Li was so exhausted that she couldn''t even move a finger.. She was regretting ever provoking him but she couldn''t because she decided to take it that she was repaying a debt.

 Chapter 219 - I Love You!

    <h4>Chapter 219 - I Love You!</h4>


    Waking up the next morning, Jia Li was too tired to get out of bed. No matter how Fu Hua tried to get her to open her eyes, he failed. She even pushed him away thest time he tried.


    Fu Hua saw the time waste as it was already 9 in the morning. He had no choice but to carry her out of bed.


    Jia Li didn''t bother to open her eyes. She was not afraid he was going to have another go at her because she was ready to bite him if he tried it.


    "I''m bringing you to have a bath." He said to her in a gentle voice as he took her into the inner room as went straight for the bathtub.


    Since she was naked, he ced her inside the hot water bath. The water was perfect for her skin.


    "Are you going to wake up or do you want me to help you have a bath?" Fu Hua threatened as he caressed her face with his wet hands.


    Jia Li''s eyes flew open and the dark circles around her eyes were obvious. Anyone that saw her right now, would know she didn''t have a good night''s sleep.


    "Don''t you dare!" She said in a fierce tone before pushing him away.


    Fu Hua chuckled softly when he saw how feisty his little wife was in the morning.


    "Why are you angry with me?" Fu Hua asked with a smile as he touched her cheeks and moved them away as quickly as possible before she could hit him.


    "I love you!" Fu Hua blurted out without thinking.


    When he said that, both of them nced at each other without saying a word. Jia Li was shocked.


    ''Did he just say that he loves me?'' She asked herself as she gazed at him in search of answers. Too bad that Fu Hua asked her to bath quickly so they could have breakfast together.


    After saying that, he ced the anti-slip mat beside the Jacuzzi and left the stunned Jia Li there.


    At a point, Jia Li thought she heard wrong but she knew she couldn''t have been hearing things.


    Jia Li went on to have a bath. She took time herself with getting herself all cleaned up, she also washed her hair.


    When she was through, she wrapped herself in a towel before walking inside the closet. There, she saw Fu Hua waiting for her.


    "I brought your clothes out for you." Fu Hua said when he saw her as he pointed at her inner wears and dress he left on the seat.


    Fu Hua left and allowed her to get dressed beforeing back in when she was trying to dry her hair.


    He took the hand drier from her and helped her to dry her hair. Fu Hua took his time drying her hair because it was another favorite part of her body he liked.


    If not for Jia Li urging him to hurry up because she was hungry, he would have continued to dry her hair for several hours.


    Hand in hand, they both went downstairs for breakfast. Jia Li didn''t waste time when her food was served. She started eating immediately and hurriedly.


    Fu Hua continues reminding her to slow down but she didn''t listen. She was so hungry that she could eat him as well.


    Not that kind of eating though... ????


    Fu Hua pitied her and started putting more food on her te. He guessed that she was very hungry after their intense workout at night.


    Jia Li ate till she was not able to move again, so she had to remain sitting and rest for a while before she took her drugs.


    Fu Hua didn''t run away this time around and could only scrunch his nose while she took her drugs.


    After taking her drugs, Jia Li went back to the bedroom andid on the bed to sleep again, while Fu Hua went straight to the workshop to tidy things up.


    He arranged Jia Li''s awards on her desk before moving them away as he felt that it wasn''t good ce. He ced the awards ????, certificate and medal in a good position on the shelf there. The shelf had a ss covering, so the awards could still be seen.


    Fu Hua nced at the awards with her name written boldly there and smiled proudly. He was very proud of her.


    He remembered when he saw them printing her name on the awards right there in front of everyone.


    "Jia Li, I will be at the top waiting for you to get so many awards and reach my height and then we can climb thedder together, hand in hand." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    While Jia Li was still sleeping, gifts from the Fu family members arrived and Fu Hua ordered them to be kept in the workshop.


    When Jia Li woke up, she ordered for her graduation cake to be shared and a greater part of the cake went to the Fu house. The remaining part was shared amongst the people with her.


    Jia Li did all these without knowing of the gifts the rest of the Fu family members gave to her. After giving out her instruction, a servant followed her to the workshop with the snacks she asked to be brought to her.


    Fu Hua was in the workshop looking through documents when Jia Li stepped in with the servants behind her.


    "I brought you snacks." Jia Li said as she served him personally.


    Fu Hua nced at the cake and cup of hot steaming coffee she ced on his desk and then nced at the snacks the servant ced on her desk. He felt that she was cheating on him. But then he thought about the baby and didn''t say anything.


    He told himself that she was pregnant and had to eat for two.


    When the servant left, Fu Hua picked up a file and said to her, "Come and take this, I think it belongs to you."


    "Huh..." ???? Jia Li was stared at him in confusion.


    "It''s a gift from grandfather,e and have a look at it." Fu Hua exined. The papers arrived in the morning while she was still sleeping, so he kept them for her after taking a look at them.


    Hearing it was a gift from the old man, Jia Li got up and walked to his side and took the file from him.. She was very curious about the old man''s gift.

 Chapter 220 - Gifts From The Fu Family

    <h4>Chapter 220 - Gifts From The Fu Family</h4>


    As Jia Li was curious to know what was written in the papers, she opened the file and nced at the papers. The title of the paper shocked her because it was boldy written.


    The paper was a title deed in her name. As Jia Li reads the property document grandfather Fu transferred to her and she was shocked.


    Fu Hua watched her reaction from the side and a smile appeared on his face. He could tell how shocked she was by the huge gift.


    Jia Li turned to Fu Hua to ask with a surprising glint. "Fu Hua, did grandfather send this to me mistakenly?"


    "Your name is right there, so how could he have sent it to the wrong person?" Fu Hua asked.


    Jia Li felt the document was a heavy burden on her. The old man just bought an apartment building ???? in one of the most expensive areas in the city and gave it to her as a gift.


    Jia Li was beyond shocked. This was a huge gift to her.


    "This is nothingpared to what the old man usually gifts. Every member of the Fu family has a few properties andnds in their name. Grandfather must have thought he should give you the gifts bit by bit so you won''t be shocked." Fu Hua revealed.


    "What?!" ???? Jia Li looked shocked again. She was still trying to get over the huge present she got from the old man and he was telling her more shocking news.


    "Come and take a look at the other gifts the rest of the family gave to you." Fu Hua said as he pointed at the gift bags close to the huge shelf.


    Jia Li was surprised as she wasn''t expecting the members of the Fu family to gift her anything. She felt touched receiving gifts from them for her graduation.


    Fu Hua helped her to take out the gifts before disying them on his desk.


    A very expensive graphics tablet came from Fu YingPei. A set of expensive beauty products came from Fu Meixu. Fu ChunHua gave her a set of jewelry. Fu Ling gave her a set of expensive tools to help with her designing. There was a set of glittering pens and so many other things.


    There was an emerald green bracelet lying in a red box and Jia Li had no idea who gave the r present until Fu Hua told her who gave it because there was no name on it.


    It turned out that Fu Hee gave that gift. Jia Li was surprised that her mother-inw who did not like her gave her a gift for her graduation.


    Fu Hua did not show any emotions as he helped her to unwrap other presents. Butler Lu gave her a gift and the servants of the Fu house contributed to getting her an expensive gift.


    Jia Li was surprised by their gesture. Today made her know how loved she was that even the servants of the Fu house could get her a present.


    Fu Hua helped her to package the presents before pressing a button fixed on his desk. A servant knocked and came in a few minutester.


    Fu Hua asked her to send the gifts to their bedroom after Jia Li took out the gifts she could use to work on her designs.


    "I have to call and thank them." Jia Li said with a smile.


    "You don''t have to, they only did what they were supposed to." Fu Hua said to her.


    "No, that doesn''t seem right." As Jia Li thought about calling them, a thought came to her head so she voiced it out because she was worried.


    "How do I call your mother and thank her?" Jia Li asked Fu Hua.


    Fu Hua raised his phone and replied, "You can use mine."


    Jia Li sighed in relief before using her phone to call the members of the Fu family to thank them for their gifts.


    This was the first time she was speaking member of the Fu family on phone apart from Fu Hua, Grandfather Fu, and Fu Meixu.


    When it was time to call her mother-inw, Jia Li used Fu Hua''s phone for it. She was a bit worried because she was not on good terms with Fu Hee and thetter didn''t like her.


    "Don''t be nervous, it''s just a call." Fu Hua said as he encouraged her from the side.


    Fu Hee was sitting in the living room upstairs in the Fu house when she received an iing call from her son.


    She was happy to see that he was calling her. She answered the call immediately.


    "Fu Hua?"


    Jia Li nced at Fu Hua when she heard the excited tone of her mother-inw. Jia Li felt things were awkward now.


    "Auntie, it''s me, Jia Li." Jia Li said over the phone.


    The smile on Fu Hee''s face vanished instantly. She was disappointed to hear Jia Li''s voice because she thought it was Fu Hua that was calling.


    "Oh! How is Fu Hua?" Fu Hee asked as she maintained a gentle tone even if it was not filled with excitement like before.


    "He is fine. Auntie, I called to thank you for your gift, thank you!" Jia Li said after replying to her question. She wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible.


    "That''s okay. Don''t end the call, pass the phone to Fu Hua."


    Jia Li did as instructed. Fu Hua''s brows furrowed as he took the phone from her. He ced the phone in his ear and listened to his mother talk.


    Their conversation didn''tst for more than 30 seconds before Fu Hua put his phone down. And throughout their conversation, Jia Li only heard Fu Hua hum once.


    "Why are you standing there? Go and sit." Fu Hua said to her. She has been standing in front of his desk for a while now and he thought her legs would be hurting now.


    Jia Li picked up her sketchbook and opened it. She wanted to be busy with something, so she picked up a pencil and started scribbling something on it.


    When she felt an inspiration wasing, she heard her phone ring and she nced at her phone with an annoyed gaze.. Fu Hua saw it and couldn''t help chuckling within him.

 Chapter 221 - Fu Meixus Plan On Snatching

    <h4>Chapter 221 - Fu Meixu''s n On Snatching</h4>


    ncing at the caller ID, Jia did not react because if she does, Fu Hua will see it, so she answered the call.


    "Brother Huan?" Jia Li called out in a calm tone.


    Fu Hua nced over as he immediately stoppedughing. How could he still be in the mood to be happy when a love rival was calling his wife.


    "Is Fu Hua your husband?" Li Huan asked directly without returning her greeting.


    Jia Li was surprised by his question but she still replied to him, "Yes."


    There was a moment of silence before Li Huan spoke again, "Take care of yourself."


    Jia Li put her phone down before ncing over at Fu Hua to see him looking at the papers before him. Initially, she felt his piercing gaze on her but now, it was gone.


    After the call with Jia Li ended, Li Huan covered his face with his palms. The other day at Jia Li''s graduation ceremony, he felt Fu Hua looked familiar when he saw him even though half of his face was covered by the mask.


    He had just checked the inte again before calling Jia Li to confirm his doubts.


    Such a huge figure was Jia Li''s husband, how was it possible topete for her love?


    Since it was Sunday today, Fu Hua took Jia Li to the hospital for her doctor''s appointment in the morning.


    Dr. Clinton weed the two of them. She checked Jia Li and confirmed that everything was okay with her and the fetus.


    Fu Hua mentioned the diet n and the doctor forwarded a document to his Mail.


    The doctor instructed Jia Li to drink up to 7 sses of water every day. She was to take her weight every morning after using the toilet ???? and record it on the paper she gave to her.


    The doctor also told her about simple and healthy exercises and Yoga techniques to do every day.


    From the hospital, Fu Hua took Jia Li to the store to buy a weighing scale to check her weight every morning. He didn''t allow her to follow him into the store.


    "Stay in the car, I will be back in 5 minutes." Fu Hua said to her just as she was about to take off her seatbelt.


    "Why?" Jia Li asked with a confused gaze.


    "You may not know it but you are slowly rising to fame." Fu Hua said with a smile before leaving the car.


    Jia Li did not understand his words and she could not ask about them.


    Fu Hua really came back in five minutes with a brown carton and put it in the car''s boot before driving them to another store to get some healthy nuts like Almonds and Walnuts for Jia Li.


    After buying those things for her, he drove them back home in time for lunch.


    At the filming site, it looked like there was one person left for the filming to start. Everybody was waiting for Zhi Ruo.


    She was supposed to have a scene with the female lead today but she was nowhere to be found. The director called her but couldn''t reach her.


    "If Zhi Ruo is not here in the next 10 minutes, we will postpone this scene." The director announced to everyone.


    Fu Meixu was unmoved and had a smile on her face. She was not worried unlike the others.


    2 minutester, a white shy car ???? drove in. The car parked at the side and the front doors of the car opened.


    Zhi Ruo who everyone has been waiting for stepped out of the car dressed in casual clothes along with the male that drove her there.


    Zhi Ruo walked towards them and apologized. She said she had a little ident beforeing out hence the dy.


    She never mentioned what the ident was about but her apology was enough. The young man that came with her asked one of the staff to help him to take out the coffee they brought along with them.


    Zhi Ruo apologized with the hot cups of coffee and the snacks she bought for them.


    The director looked like he was no longer angry as everyone ounted for the coffee she brought with her.


    Fu Meixu sneered at her but still epted the coffee that was given to her.


    "Sister Ruo is that your friend?" One of the members of the movie cast was good enough to ask.


    Her question incurred the curiosity of the others. Even Fu Meixu was interested in her reply. She has seen that man before. He was the same person that came to pick her up when they held a wrap-up party for theirst movie together.


    Fu Meixu was interested in her reply this time around, she wanted to know what her reply would be.


    Zhi Ruo chuckled softly with her hand over her mouth. Then she replied with a smile, "You misunderstood, he is my good friend that was kind enough to bring me to the filming site."


    "Oh!"? The actress that asks that question said in response and the rest of the crew said it was a pity and didn''t disturb her again.


    They felt that her good friend was so handsome and looked rich not to be her boyfriend.


    Fu Meixu scoffed at Zhi Ruo''s response because she refused to believe it.


    ''Why would a friend follow you to another city just to bring you to the filming tight?'' Fu Meixu thought it was a big joke.


    As the man that brought her got into the car and left after speaking to Zhi Ruo for a short while and saying goodbye to the crew, an idea came to Fu Meixu''s head.


    She smiled as she thought about it.


    "Well, since she keeps denying that he is not her boyfriend but deliberately brings him to show off, it wouldn''t be wrong if I snatch him from her right?"


    That day, the filming went smoothly because Fu Meixu and Zhi Ruo had a tacit understanding not to cause trouble.


    Zhi Ruo was happy her boyfriend agreed to bring her to the filming site after pleading with him for a long time, while Fu Meixu was upied with her next plot against Zhi Ruo.

 Chapter 222 - Media Attention

    <h4>Chapter 222 - Media Attention</h4>


    This morning, Fu Hua left for thepany as he had an important meeting to attend.


    After the brief meeting, he returned to his office and not long after that, Sunny knocked and came in to his office to talk about the right of Jia Li''s project dress he asked her to acquire.


    "When are you signing the contract with the school?" Fu Hua asked.


    "At noon tomorrow." Sunny replied, then she talked about giving an offer to Jia Li but he didn''t say anything against it.


    Fu Hua acted as if he had nothing to do with Jia Li. After Sunny left, Fu YingPei came to see him a few minutester and a visible excitement was seen on his face.


    "Brother, you need to see this." He said as he approached Fu Hua''s desk with his phone in hand.


    Fu Hua looked up to see Fu YingPeiing to his side happily. He was about to ask what the matter was when he ced his phone in front of him and yed a video.


    Fu Hua watched the video and discovered that it was a video of Jia Li giving a speech during her graduation day.


    "Where did you get this from?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on the video.


    "It''s all over the inte. Sister-inw is popr now and the need of her being the best student of ******* has gone viral, including her project dress." Fu YingPei reported happily.


    Fu Hua took a proper look at the video before picking up his phone to dial Jia Li''s number.


    When Jia Li picked up the phone, he asked her to tune to a TV channel, as she did only to see she was being talked about.


    "What?! What am I doing on TV?" Jia Li asked in surprise. It felt weird seeing herself being talked about on TV as millions of people were watching her.


    "I have to go back to work now, see youter." Fu Hua said and ended the call.


    "Brother, what did Sister-inw say?" Fu YingPei asked with a smile.


    "She is astonished seeing herself on TV. You can go back to work now." Fu Hua said to him.


    "Brother, why are you not excited?" Fu YingPei asked curiously.


    "All the exposure she is getting is good but it''s too bad she doesn''t need it now." Fu Hua exined.


    If Jia Li was not pregnant, this would have been the perfect opportunity to be popr and gain massive recognition.


    "Why?" Fu YingPei asked as he did not understand the situation.


    Fu Hua pinched his brows and said to him, "You will understand in due time, get back to work."


    Fu YingPei left because his brother wouldn''t talk anymore on the matter.


    That same day, Jia Li received a call from her three friends, it was a video call. They were excited as they talked about seeing her on Tv.


    "Jia Li you have gone viral!" Chang Chang said.


    "Yes, you''re a celebrity now, everyone is talking about you." DanDan added.


    "Why do you not look happy?" Daiyu asked as she noticed that Jia Li wasn''t excited like them.


    Jia Li sighed and exined things about her pregnancy and working now. She didn''t want the media to have eyes on her, especially now that she was pregnant.


    Although she was happy to be noticed by a lot of people, she didn''t need that fame now.


    Her friends got her point and felt bad for her but they encouraged her and told her that another opportunity wille.


    After the emotional talks, they became chatty and excited again as they informed Jia Li of the number of followers she has now.


    Jia Li was unaware of the number of followers and friend requests she had. So, after the call with her friends, she checked it and saw that she had more than five thousand new followers. Before, she had only 100+ followers, but now, they have increased in thousands.


    Now that she was reminded about her fame and media attention, Jia Li went through her social media ounts and also checked her E-mails, and saw a lot of offers from different lothing brands.


    She couldn''t even read through all the E-mails. She saw an E-mail from Sunny and opened it. The message was a reminder to consider working with FJ.


    Jia Li felt an oing headache and had to keep her phone aside. When Fu Hua came back, she told him about the offers she got as he rubbed her hair listening silently.


    "You''re doing so well. Do you have any ce you would like to go to?" Fu Hua asked. He felt he should give her a little reward for her hard work.


    "I don''t have anywhere I would like to go. I just want to sit at home and y with Ocean." Jia Li replied.


    "Are you sure? You don''t want to go on a weekend vacation?" Fu Hua asked with raised brows.


    "No, I don''t feel like traveling." Jia Li insisted. His offer was tempting but she didn''t feel like it.


    Fu Hua was surprised that she would rather stay at home and y with Ocean than go on a weekend vacation.


    "Okay. Do you want anything?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Yes. I''m hungry." Jia Li said as she hugged his arm with a smile.


    "What do you want to eat?" Fu Hua asked. He knew for her to say she was hungry, there was something else she wanted to eat, that he wouldn''t approve.


    Jia Li went on to mention 10 different dishes which consisted of Italian, Chinese and English cuisines.


    Fu Hua sighed and pinched her cheeks and asked, "Are you trying to turn into a glutton?"


    "I can''t help it, the baby wants to eat them." Jia Li said as she caressed her abdomen.


    Fu Hua chuckled softly and caressed her abdomen. He knew she was ming her cravings on the baby.


    "Just this once, we have to listen to the doctor." Fu Hua said as he agreed to ce the order for the dishes she mentioned.


    "I know, thank you! You are the best!" Jia Li said with a happy smile.


    When the food order arrived, Jia Li was so excited and rushed to the dining room to sit.


    She didn''t wait for the housekeeper to finish serving the food before she began to eat.

 Chapter 223 - ...How Much I Wanted The Dress

    <h4>Chapter 223 - ...How Much I Wanted The Dress</h4>


    The next morning, Jia Li goes to sign the deal with FJ and her school. She was giving the rights of her dress to FJ.


    After signing off the rights to dress, Sunny spoke to her for a few minutes before leaving. She reminded her about the offer and asked her to think about it.


    Before Jia Li left, her teacher talked to her about some interview requests for her but Jia Li asked to reject them.


    "Is there any reason you don''t want an interview?" Her teacher asked with an inquisitive gaze. She was very curious because if it was other people that got this kind of opportunity, they would make use of it to be popr but Jia Li was doing the opposite, so she was interested in knowing her reasons.


    "I don''t want the attention of the media." Jia Li replied.


    Her teacher could not speak more about it, since Jia Li was no longer her student.


    When Jia Li got home, she told Fu Hua about the interview requests that were reached out to her through her school, which she rejected and he asked for the reason.


    She gave the same response she gave to her teacher.


    "Do you ever feel angry with me because of this?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her. He was worried she would feel bad because of the big opportunities she was going to miss because of the pregnancy.


    "How can I feel bad when you helped me to get those opportunities and to stand in the limelight?" Jia Li said with a smile.


    Two dayster, FJ announced that they got the rights to Jia Li''s dress. The media immediately requested an interview but FJ rejected them, so they went ahead to ask them an important question, publicly.


    "Do you have ns of working with Miss Qin?"


    FJ Styles replied, "We will all know the answer to that question in the future."


    As Christmas day was fast approaching, Jia Li let the servants decorate the house with festive decor.


    Fu Hua did not let her go out to shop since she has turned into a mini-celebrity. If she left the house without disguise, she would be recognized and that may not be a good idea, especially now that she was pregnant.


    While preparing for the festive period, FJ Stylesunches the dress Fu Hua designed, along with Jia Li''s school project dress.


    All of these were ordered by Fu Hua, as he wanted to give some credit to his wife and quickly theunching of the two dresses gained a lot of attention and poprity.


    It was only a few people that knew that both dresses were designed by Fu Hua and his wife, the rest were clueless about it.


    Once again, Jia Lies to the limelight as people began to specte what FJ was up to byunching a dress made by their boss and the best graduating student of the Prestigious school of xxxxxxxxxxx.


    Many of them thought that FJ was interested in working with the young fashion designer and so were giving her a boost.


    FJ made another wave when they returned the original project dress to Jia Li.


    When the media asked about it, FJ replied that their Boss, Fu Hua wanted the young fashion designer, Jia Li, to have a copy of her work, as a way of encouraging her hard work.


    Many people praised Fu Hua for being so thoughtful towards the young fashion designer, not knowing it was a way for the husband to show love to his wife.


    Fu Hua personally returned the dress to Jia Li telling Sunny he would handle it. Normally, it wasn''t right for their Boss to do that kind of works but since he wanted to do it himself, she didn''t say a word.


    Jia Li was so excited when Fu Hua brought the dress home.


    She jumped on him out of excitement and Fu Hua caught her as he used his hands to support her.


    "Thank you so much, you really knew how much I wanted the dress." Jia Li said to him happily.


    "Of course, I knew! Your facial expression the day we were to send it out, told me how much you wanted the dress, so I had to bring it back and it''s your size." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li kissed his lips and said with her gaze on him, "You are such a darling!"


    "Am I?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Yes! Thanks for caring about me." Jia Li said with a grateful smile.


    "There is no problem." Fu Hua replied as he slowly let her jump off his body.


    "There is one more thing I need to do." Jia Li said with her gaze on him.


    "And what is that?" Fu Hua asked curiously.


    "I need your help withposing a message to reject the offers given to me by thosepanies. I need to send them a mail since I''m not interested." Jia Li said to him.


    Since she wasn''t joining anypany yet, she had to reject their offer, as it was the right thing to do.


    Over the past several days, she got so many offers from a lot of designerpanies, asking her to work with them. She had no idea how most of them got her Email address,ter she guessed it may be her school that gave it out.


    Fu Hua epted to help her and so Jia Li passed her phone to him and went to use the restroom.


    By the time Jia Li came back to the bedroom, Fu Hua was already through with replying to the mails so, he gave her phone back to her.


    Jia Li was curious to know how he replied to the mails, so she opened one to check. Her eyes widened in shock and she proceeded to check the rest of the mails he helped her to reply and discovered it was the same text and format.


    She was surprised with how direct and unfeeling his replies were and she made a mental note to ask him for this kind of help again.


    Fu Hua noticed the change in her facial expressions and asked about it and Jia Li went on toin about the replies he sent out.


    "It''s a mature way of rejecting them." Fu Hua said she justified his style of response.


    ''Ah! I''m really not like you, cold and unfeeling!'' Jia Li thought to herself.

 Chapter 224 - You Hit Me?

    <h4>Chapter 224 - You Hit Me?</h4>


    The next day when Fu Hua came to work, Sunny went to meet him. She was unhappy as she exined that Jia Li rejected their offer.


    Fu Hua told her to leave the matter and focus on her job. The way he said it made Sunny think he wasn''t bothered or concerned about it.


    Being instructed by her Boss, she went back to her office. She felt it was a pity that such talent as Jia Li was wasted.


    Seeing how popr she has been for the past several days and the big opportunities she missed, Jia Li promised to get into FJ on her own, without any help from Fu Hua.


    After making this decision, she doesn''t tell Fu Hua about it.


    On Christmas Eve, all the members of the Fu family returned to the Fu House in preparation for the festive day.


    Fu Hua''s father and Uncle came back for the Christmas celebration and also returned with gifts for Jia Li''s graduation because they didn''t give anything to her during that period.


    Before going back to the Fu House, Fu Hua and Jia Li shopped a lot. They bought new protective clothes because of the freezing weather. They also bought a lot of gifts for everyone and Jia Li bought a special present for the old man.


    On the 24th of December when they arrived at the Fu House, there was a feeling of celebration in the air and Jia Li couldn''t help but smile.


    The entire house was decorated with Christmas decors and it was done in a grand style, as expected from the wealthiest family in Country X.


    Christmas tones were ying from the lights used to decorate the Christmas tree ????. Jia Li was too excited to hide it.


    During lunch, the dining room was full of an ambiance atmosphere, as everyone ate and drank to the heart''s content.


    Jia Li personally went to feed Ocean. She couldn''t leave her dog behind and brought it with her to the annoyance of Fu Hua.


    Jia Li fed Ocean with her hand till she was full. Fu Hua was annoyed while watching her and said, "Why are you treating it like it''s your child?"


    "Ocean has been with me since she was a puppy, so it''s not wrong that I''m attached to her. And also, I''m learning and gaining experience on how to treat my child when it''s born." Jia Li replied as she passes one meatball to Ocean and she ate it from her hand.


    "Did you say your child? Does the child belong to you alone?" Fu Hua asked with a frown.


    "My bad, it''s our child." Jia Li corrected herself with her attention on Ocean.


    Fu Hua became more annoyed and said, "I feed you and the child but you have never thought about feeding me, I can''t bepared to a dog now, is that it?"


    "You are a Big Boss, how can I dare to treat you like a child?" Jia Li asked with her gaze on him.


    "I don''t care, you have to treat me well. It''s snowing again, we have to go inside the house." Fu Hua said when he saw it was starting to snow.


    Already, thepound was filled with snow.


    "Give me a minute." Jia Li said as she gave Ocean thest meatball, before rubbing her head.


    "Ocean, I''m going back inside the house, I wille to see you tomorrow morning."


    Fu Hua did not wait for her to finish her lovey-dovey act with Ocean before dragging her out from there.


    Ocean became jealous and started barking. Fu Hua turned back to re at her, before continuing his steps with Jia Li.


    When Jia Li left, the caregiver took care of Ocean and sent her into her kennel.


    The caregiver was trained and used to take care of Ocean right from when it was a puppy, so Ocean wouldn''t hurt him.


    In the evening, Fu Juan came over with her husband and it was the first time Jia Li was seeing him.


    Fu Juan''s husband looked calm andposed and overall, he looked like he was very good looking when he was younger.


    During dinner, the family conversed and surprisingly, nobody remembered about ethics and manners, as the dining room was harmonious.


    After dinner, Fu Hua took Jia Li to the bedroom immediately. Jia Li thought he wanted to get in bed with her and started to protest.


    "Fu Hua, I''m tired, can we not do it today?" Jia Li asked with a worried gaze.


    Fu Hua flicked her forehead with his fingers and she hissed in pain and covered that ce with her palm.


    "How can your brain be rotten? I brought you here to sleep for a while because there will be fireworks ???? from 11:55 PM. I don''t want you to get tired out early." Fu Hua exined.


    Jia Li did not reply, as her eyes because misty with tears threatening to fall from her eyes.


    Fu Hua got the shock of his life when he saw that she was about to cry. He immediately asked what was wrong as he ced his hands on her shoulder with a worried gaze on her.


    "You hit me!" Jia Li cried out as tears streamed down her cheeks ????


    "You...You... why are you crying? I didn''t even go hard on you and I was only joking." Fu Hua said in a dilemma.


    He didn''t understand how a joke turned to him hitting her and she was seriously crying because of it.


    "You hit me! You hit me and your child!" Jia Li cried out again as she pushed him away and went to sit on the foot of the bed.


    Fu Hua felt he was in deep trouble and immediately rushed to her side. He squat before her and started apologizing to her as he dried her tears with the back of his hands.


    "Jia Li, I''m sorry okay? It won''t happen again. Stop crying, I''m sorry." Fu Hua saw that her tears were falling endless and immediately added...


    "You can hit me back, so we are even. Please don''t cry anymore, I promise not to flick your forehead again." Fu Hua promised.


    Jia Li stopped crying and allowed him to wipe her tears. Even she didn''t understand why she would burst into tears like that.


    When Fu Hua wanted to leave after calming her down, she refused and asked him to stay with her, so he had no choice but to apany her till she fell asleep, before leaving the bedroom.

 Chapter 225 - Block Of Ice

    <h4>Chapter 225 - Block Of Ice</h4>


    Around 11:40 PM, Fu Hua came back to wake Jia Li up. Jia Li was still sleepy and let Fu Hua help her up.


    "Is it time already?" She asked in a slow tone.


    "Yeah, everyone is outside, let''s get you dresses up!" Fu Hua said as he took her inside the inner room and dressed her in warmer clothes before taking her outside to join the rest of the family members.


    Jia Li was surprised to see Grandfather Fu outside by that time. The old man was all smiles when he saw her.


    Jia Li watched the fireworks ?? in the sky and smiled she reached for the one Fu Hua was about to light.


    "No way!" Fu Hua said as he raised the fireworks so her hands can''t reach them.


    "Why?!" Jia Li asked with a frown.


    "You''re going to hurt yourself if you''re not careful." Fu Hua said to her.


    "I''m not going to hurt myself, I''m not a child. Give it to me!" Jia Li said as she tried to reach for it again but Fu Hua wouldn''t let her.


    "Beautiful, be obedient and listen to your husband." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    "My name is not beautiful." Jia Li said in a huff.


    "What''s the meaning of your name?" Fu Hua inquired as he gazed into her eyes. He was sure that he guessed the meaning of her name or is that she had no idea about it?


    Jia Li was silent for a while before replying, "Food and beautiful."


    "I''m right after all!" Fu Hua said with a proud smile.


    "Fu Hua, give it to me! It''s almost time for the count down." Jia Li said in an annoyed tone. If not for the difference in their height, she would have long snatched the fireworks from him.


    "Call me husband." Fu Hua teased with a smile.


    "What?" Jia Li said a frown.


    ''What kind of request was that?'' She thought.


    "You better hurry up, everyone is looking at us and the countdown is about to begin." Fu Hua said with a threat.


    Jia Li nced around and saw that the family would sometimes turn to nce at them. She felt embarrassed with disying her childish nature in front of them.


    "Husband." Jia Li called out of frustration.


    "Good girl." Fu Hua smiled and handed it to her. "Be careful not to scare the child." He reminded her.


    "It will have fun with mum and dad." Jia Li said as he nced at her abdomen. Because of the thick clothes she was putting on, her small baby bump can''t be seen.


    While the countdown started, the fireworks started going off one after the other. And finally, when it was midnight, they screamed, ''Happy Christmas'' and released the biggest fireworks with the festive words written.


    It was so beautiful seeing the word, ''Merry Christmas'' written in the sky.


    Fu Hua hugged Jia Li and kissed her forehead.


    It may be weird the Fu family was celebrating Christmas like New Year but that''s how they run their things.


    Grandfather Fu approached Fu Hua and Jia and they wished each other Merry Christmas.


    Grandfather Fu said to Jia Li while pointing at Fu Hua, "I have never seen my grandson celebrate with us so happily on festive periods, he''s always like a block of ice ????. But since you came into his life, he has transformed but just for you."


    Jia Liughed at the old man''s words and nced at Fu Hua whose gaze has turned serious.


    Grandfather Fu chatted with them for a while before the rest of the family approached them to greet the old man.


    Fu YingPei had a bottle of Champagne in his hands as he came over. He popped the champagne right in their presence, before pouring some of its contents into the sses the servants passed to everyone.


    The family made a toast to a Merry Christmas celebration before Fu YingPei brought up Jia Li''s sess stories.


    "Sister-inw has made the Fu family proud by emerging as... and winning 2 awards... These days, she is popr and making waves in the Fashion Industry... Cheers to Jia Li!"


    Everyone raised a toast to Jia Li to celebrate her sess. Fu Hee clinked sses with her but there was no visible smile on her face.


    Although she had no evil ns against her, she still, did not like her.


    Fu YingPei made a toast to everyone while enjoying the fireworks, before going inside to rest.


    Some healthy snacks were served to everyone, so they all ate a little before retiring for the night.


    Fu Hua passes his share of snacks to Jia Li and they ate them happily. Fu Hua smiled as he watched her eat.


    "Hope you''re not eating the food alone and you''re giving some of them to my child, Beautiful?" Fu Hua whispered to her ear.


    Jia Li nced at him before moving close to his ear to whisper in a soft tone, "I''m eating for two."


    Fu Hua chuckled softly and didn''t know what to say to her. She was so shameless when it came to food.


    Grandfather Fu smiled happily when saw Jia Li eating so well. He even added some of his snacks to her te.


    "Thank you, grandfather." Jia Li said with a smile. She didn''t reject the old man''s goodwill and she appreciated him.


    While she was eating, Fu Hua ced his left hand on herp from under the table.


    Jia Li was distracted and nced at him but he said to her, ''eat your food'' and she fixed her gaze back on her snacks and continued munching on them.


    It hadn''t been up to a few seconds when Fu Hua''s hands crept under her dress to caress her thighs. While doing so, he had his gaze on his empty te while ying innocent.


    Jia Li nced at him and tried to give him a sign to stop but he wasn''t looking towards her direction, then she knew that he was doing it on purpose.


    She nced around before staring back at him.. She didn''t want it to be obvious that something was going on, so she continued to eat as if nothing was happening but it was kind of difficult as she couldn''t ignore that hand that was creeping inside her thighs.

 Chapter 226 - Your Cousin Is Heartless!

    <h4>Chapter 226 - Your Cousin Is Heartless!</h4>


    Fu Hua troubled Jia Li till she gave up on eating. She knew she had to leave the dining room, or he won''t let her rest, so she excused herself and left. She said she was going to sleep, so they let her leave.


    Fu Hua faked a cough before following after his little wife.


    When he got to their bedroom, Jia Li was already lying under the covers. Fu Hua smiled and dimmed the light in the room before getting into bed with her.


    When hey down, he tried to hug her, but she hit his hands away.


    "Don''t touch me, I''m tired." Jia Li said with her back against him.


    Fu Hua chuckled softly and hugged her forcibly. "I''m not asking you to do anything. Just lie in my arms and sleep. I have to stop you from eating, because of the doctor''s words. I''m only looking out for you."


    "If you are looking out for me, why then did you give me your share of snacks?" Jia Li asked in a confused tone.


    "You epted the snacks from grandfather after taking mine when you still had yours, who knew who''s own you would have epted next." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li finally understood the reason he distracted her from eating. She stopped throwing tantrums and allowed him to hug her to sleep.


    The next morning, the Fu family members, freshened up and came out for breakfast, and at noon, they started the activities they had prepared for the Christmas celebration.


    There was a treasure hunt which Fu YingPei won, singing carol sings, plus other fun games. Atst, it was time to give gifts and everyone actually prepared a gift from each member of the family.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua gave their gifts as one, and try received them as one, and also in singles.


    The small family banquet was lively, as they all ate different festive dishes and drank to their satisfaction.


    Before going to rest for the night, they opened up the letters that were sent to them from family and friends and read them aloud.


    There was a letter from the Bai family, wishing the entire Fu Family a Merry Christmas!


    Grandfather Fu asked Butler Lu to get rid of the card for dampening their mood.


    After reading all the well wishes notes they got from others, there was nothing to go again than to retire for the light.


    Jia Li was very happy because as atst year''s Christmas, she couldn''t join in the celebration, and When Grandfather Fu called her out, she didn''t want to join them, and could only watch them.


    Even Fu Hua didn''t join them, as it was not his kind of thing. But since he got married to Jia Li, he has been loosening up a bit, and it looks like he''s still unaware of it.


    The next day in the Bai family, it looked like Bai Fen had a bad sleepst night. She had dark circles under her eyes.


    Well, she hasn''t been in the best of mood since she saw Jia Li on the news, so it would be a given that she would have sleepless nights.


    She was angry and jealous when she saw Jia Li on the news, and how popr she was. She thought that Fu Hee would have a more profound reason to ept Jia Li since she was doing so well.


    The thought of ruining Jia Li''s reputation came to her mind, but she couldn''t. Although she still had those pictures of Jia Li and Li Huan she took at the cafe, she couldn''t use them.


    The Fu family will immediately find out she was the one that released the photos to the media since they knew she took them.


    She was not about to make a foolish mistake blindly, so she deleted ? the pictures from her phone ????


    Bai Fen spent the rest of her day, thinking about how to make aeback. At the end of the day, she couldn''t think of anything new and decided to patiently wait for her daughter toe home.


    A patient dog eats the fattest bone Or so she thought.


    Bai Fen was not the only person dissatisfied with Jia Li''s sudden media attention and sess, Jia Li''s Auntie, Mu Keer has been unhappy as well.


    Since the day Mu Keer saw Jia Li on the news, her mind had not rested. She kept cursing Jia Li, and she told her children that Jia Li was heartless...


    "Your cousin is heartless! She married a big shot, and she is already so popr, but she doesn''t care about us."


    My Keer''s bitterness was too much that she has no peace. She iszy and doesn''t want to work. She only wants to live off other people''s hard work and sweat.


    Quickly, A few days passed, and Fu Ling wasunching his gamingpany, just 5 days before New Year. The entire Fu family went to support him.


    Grandfather Fu invited some of his friends for the opening ceremonyunching of the new gamingpany.


    Jia Li didn''te with them because of the mediation attention she was getting. So, to keep her safe, Fu Hua did not allow her to go with them.


    It was now at this gameunching that Fu ChunHua was feeling proud of herself. Her son was now the CEO of hispany, and there was nothing that could make her prouder than this moment.


    She forgot she has been against him ying games and trying to develop his. The only thing she can remember now was that her son was doing well.


    Many distinguished guests came for the gameunching, and for the first time, Fu Ling was seen in a suit. He looked quite handsome and gentlemanly.


    Fu ChunHua couldn''t stop smiling at the congrattory messages she got from the women. She was feeling on top of the world.


    Fu Meixu was not left out on this, as Fu Ling used her face for promotion. To make things official, they signed a contract and She ran an ad for him.


    The Bai family were in attendance, and when Bai Fen tried to greet Fu Hee, thetter did not spare her a nce.. Bai Fen was embarrassed but still faked a smile.

 Chapter 227 - Escaped Like A Little Kitten

    <h4>Chapter 227 - Escaped Like A Little Kitten</h4>


    Quickly, New Year came and passed, and the Fu family celebrated it in grand style, with only the extended family members in attendance.


    For the family banquet, there was lots of food and drinks for everyone. Jia Li was treated like an egg ???? because she was pregnant.


    She wasn''t allowed to do anything herself, and the rest of the Fu family members amodated her because Fu Hua was standing solidly behind her.


    After the New Year''s celebration, the extended members of the Fu family traveled back to their base.


    Fu ChunHua''s sister who was supposed toe after the New Year celebration did note again. She got a problematic call and had to deal with it.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua spent 2 more days at the Fu house before deciding to go back to their home.


    Jia Li went to see Ocean, and take her with her since they were already leaving but it looks like Ocean''s new friend has bonded with her.


    Ocean''s new friend was a dog of the same breed that belonged to Grandfather Fu, it was a military male dog. Grandfather decided to bring him home from the camp, after making a decision.


    "Ocean, you have to say goodbye to your friend, we are leaving." Jia Li said as she rubbed Ocean''s head while holding onto the leash with the other hand.


    Ocean nced at the fierce military dog and barked before turning back to nce at Jia Li with her tongue out.


    Jia Li pat her head again as she said with a smile, "Good girl!"


    The ferocious-looking military dog that was locked in his cage, started barking when Jia Li and Ocean turned to leave.


    Jia Li waved goodbye to Grandfather Fu''s dog and continued walking with Ocean by her side.


    When Jia Li got to their house with Fu Hua, she noticed a total of 4 military men that were outside their house and was surprised.


    "What are they doing here?" Jia Li whispered to Fu Hua when they stepped out of the car.


    "Grandfather sent them because of you. If you want to go out alone, at least one of them has to follow you out." Fu Hua exined.


    "I don''t need them, why do they have to follow me out?" Jia Li inquired with a frown.


    "You''re carrying a descendant of the Fu family, so of course you need their protection." Fu Hua said to her as he hugged her shoulder and walked towards the building.


    "I heard from Grandfather that you once served in the army right?" Jia Li asked as they walked inside the building.


    "Yes, I did, for 5 years." Fu Hua replied.


    "Wow! You must have suffered a lot back then." Jia Li said to him.


    "I didn''t because it shaped my personality." Fu Hua replied.


    "You mean your cold and distant personality?" Jia Li asked with a smile.


    Fu Hua chuckled as he held her hand and walked towards the stairs.


    "Where do you want us to go for Valentine''s Day?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Valentine?" Jia Li asked as a beautiful smile spread across her face.


    "Yes. We at least have to go for one vacation before your stomach won''t let you." Fu Hua said with a smile. He was talking about her stomach bing bigger.


    Thinking about their baby that was almost 4 months old, made him feel proud. He couldn''t wait for their baby to be born, so he could spoil the child and the mother.


    "I don''t know many ces, you can decide. I just want a ce to rx, eat good food and look at the beautiful view." Jia Li said with a smile.


    "Okay, I will look into it. Go on and rest, I have work to do." Fu Hua said to her as he opened the door of their bedroom for her.


    "I want to apany you." Jia Li whined ???? like a child.


    "No, you need to get some rest. I wille back in 2 hours." Fu Hua said to her.


    "But I want to go with you, I promise not to distract you." Jia Li pleaded as she held onto his arm with a cute facial expression. She didn''t want to stay alone in the room, she wanted to apany him to the workshop.


    Fu Hua saw how stubborn she was and agreed. "Okay, you cane with me."


    "Yes! Thank you!" Jia Li said with a smile as she followed behind him but the next words Fu Hua said caused her to think twice.


    Fu Hua put his hands in his pockets and said while walking forward, "If you are not scared of being eaten, you cane along?"


    After Fu Hua said that, he didn''t hear the footsteps behind him again, so he turned and was in time to see Jia Li enter the room and close the door with a loud thud.


    Fu Hua chuckled softly with his hand over his mouth. "I thought you were not afraid ofing with me."


    Fu Hua walked away and went to the workshop to do his work.


    How could Jia Li allow herself to be eaten in the study again? She was only going there to sit and watch him do his thing because she wanted hispany. But she had to run for her poor life.


    The way she escaped like a little kitten, was so funny to Fu Hua. Since she didn''t want to listen, he had to threaten her with being eaten, and it worked.


    By the time Fu Hua finished working and returned to the bedroom, Jia Li was already fast asleep, with a book in her hand. She was reading a book on Health care during pregnancy before she slept off.


    Fu Hua took the book away, and put a bookmark on the page she was reading before keeping it on the nightstand. Next, he covered her with the duvet and went into the inner room.


    Over the next few days, Fu Hua was working and nning their Valentine''s Day vacation.. Atst, he chose to n their vacation in Berkeley Springs WV.

 Chapter 228 - Why Did You Bring These Type Of Panties?

    <h4>Chapter 228 - Why Did You Bring These Type Of Panties?</h4>


    Fu Hua had Jia Li in mind when he chose Berkeley Springs for their Valentine''s Day getaway.


    Couples could enjoy the decadent sensation of soaking in the water of the warm springs of Berkely Springs, a natural spa that has been around so long that George Washington bathed there.


    In Berkeley Springs which is located in California, USA, Couples can share a Roman bath, a 4-foot deep tiled tub in a private bathing chamber at the State Park''s lovely bathhouse.


    The night before Jia Li and Fu Hua left for California, Fu Hua helped Jia Li to pack thick clothes for their 3 days stay there, as the weather over there will be very cold.


    Early in the morning of the next day, they left for California in a private jet. They were not alone, as there were soldiers with them for protection.


    Jia Li felt bad leaving Ocean alone but there was nothing she could do since Fu Hua didn''t let her take her with them.


    Inside the private jet on their way to California, there were so many foods and healthy snacks for Jia Li and Fu Hua to eat and especially Jia Li, since she was pregnant and had a good appetite.


    Fu Hua brought some books for her, so she wouldn''t be bored to death. All Jia Li did before they got to California was to eat, sleep, read books and converse with Fu Hua, who still had work to do on hisptop.


    When they both arrived in California, they lodged in the hotel''s private suit they booked beforeing.


    Jia Li was amazed at how huge and beautiful their suit was but she was not moved by it because she was now used to luxury.


    While arranging their clothes in the closet, Fu Hua picked up Jia Li''s panties and held them with his two fingers, and asked with a frown, "Why did you bring this type of panties?"


    Jia Li saw her cotton panties in his hands and immediately went over and snatched them from him.


    "What kind of panties were you expecting me to bring?" Jia Li asked. She was the one that packed her inner-wear.


    "You should have brought something sexy and hot." Fu Huained.


    Jia Li''s face turned red in a blush. She thought that Fu Hua was always thinking of doing bad things to her, what a shameless husband!


    "The doctor said I should wear cotton panties and clothes to befortable during my pregnancy." Jia Li exined and put away her inner-wear.


    Fu Hua nodded in understanding and didn''t bring up the topic again. He agreed that his wife should receive the best treatment while pregnant, as her body would be very sensitive.


    "Do you want to eat or sleep first?" Fu Hua asked her after arranging their clothes in the wardrobe.


    "I will take a short nap before eating." Jia Li replied as she walked towards the bedroom.


    "Okay, sleep then. When you wake up, tell me what you would like to eat." Fu Hua said as he apanied her to the room and helped her cover her legs with the duvet.


    After that, Fu Hua went to shower before taking hisptop and leaving for the sitting room.


    When Jia Li woke up, she ced her food order before going to bathe, by the time she was through, her food order had already arrived. You need to see the joy on her face when she saw the table of dishes.


    Jia Li ate to her satisfaction before taking her drugs. She felt so full that she disturbed Fu Hua for a night walk.


    "It''s already past 7 PM, are you sure about that?" Fu Hua asked.


    Jia Li nodded as she pulled his arm. Fu Hua sighed and abandoned his work and went into the room to get more protective clothes for her.


    He helped her to put them on, before holding her hand and leading her outside.


    Because it was too chilly outside, Fu Hua didn''t let her stay past 20 minutes, before taking her back inside their room.


    Jia Li had a satisfactory smile when they returned to their room. It was such a lovely atmosphere outside, seeing couples holding hands and kissing.


    The next day which was the 14th of February, Fu Hua brought breakfast in bed for Jia Li. He fed her with his hands and Jia Li wondered the reason for the early morning sweetness.


    "Are we celebrating something today?" Jia Li asked as she ate the food in the spoon brought to her mouth.


    "Today is 14th." Fu Hua said as he blew on the food before sending it inside her mouth.


    "Oh." Jia Li replied as she finally got the message. Today was Valentine''s Day, so he was acting extra sweet towards her.


    After eating to her satisfaction, Fu Hua set the bath for her and she went in to have a warm bath. She felt so refreshed when she got out of the bath.


    She put on the clothes Fu Hua arranged for her, before going to the sitting room to wait for him to shower ande out, so they could go out together as per his arrangement.


    Fu Hua took Jia Li to a beauty spa. He was concerned about her and asked the attendants to take good care of her and to take note of the beauty products they would be using on her since she was pregnant.


    It would be bad if the wrong cream was applied to her skin since it was very sensitive during this period.


    At first, Fu Hua didn''t want to get a spa treatment but Jia Li convinced him to get one and he relented. The two enjoyed a body massage before they left that ce.


    Fu Hua took her out for lunch, before taking her shopping.


    "Why do we need to get more clothes, I already have enough clothes in my box." Jia Li reminded him.


    "We are going on a date this evening, so I have to get you something new." Fu Hua responded with a smile.


    Jia Li could only agree with him and let him drag her to the boutique to choose some clothes for them both.. After that, Fu Hua took her to have her hair and makeup done.

 Chapter 229 - So Much For Her

    <h4>Chapter 229 - So Much For Her</h4>


    Jia Li looked like a cute little doll by the time she was all dolled up. Fu Hua was satisfied with her looks and made payments before taking her out.


    Jia Liined that she was hungry after the soldier that came out with them, opened the car door for them and they got inside the back seat.


    Fu Hua brought out a packet of Almond nuts from one of thepartments and gave it to her.


    "When did you put this here?" Jia Li asked in surprise as she took the packets of almond nuts from him.


    "In the morning." Fu Hua replied. Fu Hua saw the surprise sitting on her face and exined further...


    "I knew you would be hungry and since I didn''t want you to eat anything unhealthy, I had to bring it along."


    Jia Li was surprised that he came prepared and he has ended up ruining her chances of eating hamburgers. She knew there was no way he would allow her to eat junk food and one with high calories but she was craving a lot of things that were unhealthy, which left her unsatisfied.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua went back to their suit and Fu Hua knowing that his little wife was unhappy with his smart moves on her, he orders some food for her to fill her up.


    Jia Li felt delighted seeing the food order and ate to her satisfaction. As Fu Hua watched her eat, he reminded her, "If you eat too much, I will cancel our date tonight."


    His threat worked because Jia Li did not eat too much while thinking she had nothing to lose, since she would still get to eat again during their date.


    Around 5 PM, they both got dressed and left their suite for their date. Fu Hua prepared a candlelight dinner for them both.


    It was a romantic feeling with the soft love music ying in the background with lovers sitting on a table of 2 and chatting happily with each other.


    Fu Hua and Jia Li''s coat ???? were taken from them before try were ushered to their table.


    After Jia Li and Fu Hua settled down on their table, the order Fu Hua made already while booking the ce, arrived.


    There was a small red velvet and chocte cake with ''Happy Valentine''s Day'' written on it.


    Seeing the food, wine, choctes, cake ???? some other things served to them, Jia Li was overjoyed. Fu Hua held back from calling her a glutton when he saw how excited she was.


    "Thank you! Happy Valentine!" Jia Li said with gratitude.


    "Happy Valentine!" Fu Hua said as he raised his wine ss and made a toast to each other.


    Jia Li enjoyed their candlelight romantic Valentine''s dinner with Fu Hua. When they were about to leave, Jia Li ordered for the cake and choctes to be packed away for her, as she couldn''t allow them to waste.


    Jia Li didn''t keep the cake and choctes for herself and instead, she gave them to the soldiers that came with them to California.


    Fu Hua liked her gesture as he was even worried about her health if she kept them all to herself.


    From the restaurant, they went on a movie date. Jia Li felt excited as this was going to be her first cinema experience and that too with Fu Hua.


    The movie Fu Hua purchased tickets for was a romantic love movie, which was perfect for a day like this.


    Fu Hua didn''t buy a cup of hot coffee, popcorn, or coke for Jia Li instead, he brought her packets of Almond nuts along, which she didn''t even touch because she was full after the dinner.


    While watching the movie, Fu Hua would at times, get touchy with her, and Jia Li would be a little distracted and would manage to hit his hands off.


    Because the lights in the room were dimmed, Fu Hua wasn''t bothered that anyone would see them. Well even if they were seen, he wouldn''t bat an eye.


    Finally, when the hot movie was over, Jia Li asked him why he purchased tickets for that kind of movie.


    "Don''t you like it?" Fu Hua asked.


    "It''s not what I mean." Jia Li said and then stopped talking.


    When they got to their hotel suite, Jia Li walked into the bedroom and saw the bed decorated with red rose ???? petals in a heart shape and there was a big fancy paper bag in the center of the heart.


    Jia Li took quick steps towards the bed and got a hold of the gift bag that had some weight. She opened the paper bag without thinking and saw a lot of goodies there.


    Things like perfume, a box of an expensive pendant customized for her, choctes, cookies, a limited edition of FJ''s designer bag and matching shoe, some wads of cash in dors ???? and a ck card with limitless use.


    Jia Li''s eyes almost popped out of her eye sockets because the gifts were too much for her.


    "Do you like them?" Fu Hua asked as he wakes into the room with his hands in his pockets.


    "This is too much for me, how could you do so much for me?" Jia Li asked as she started to tear up.


    "Don''t cry, it''s nothing. I have lots of money, so I should at least be able to provide the basic things my wife needs." Fu Hua said as he came to her side and helped her up to sit on the bed.


    "I feel so bad for not preparing anything for you." Jia Li said in a sad tone.


    "I don''t need you to buy things for me, I won''t ept it." Fu Hua said. He wouldn''t feel happy for Jia Li to spend her money to get him things, he felt it would be like he was bullying her.


    What a weird way to think.


    "Then, tell me what you want as a gift, I can''t stand not doing anything for you." Jia Li said while looking him in the eyes.


    "All I need from you is good s*x." Fu Hua said with a smile as he caressed her soft cheeks.


    What a shameless demand from Fu Hua! ????

 Chapter 230 - The Only One That Is Weird

    <h4>Chapter 230 - The Only One That Is Weird</h4>


    Jia Li instinctively pushed his hands away. "Is that all you want?" She asked with an unafraid look.


    Fu Hua smiled and added, "I want you to love me as I do."


    "But I love you!" Jia Li blurted out with her gaze on him. Then she when she recalled that she had confessed her feelings to him, she blushed and looked away from his smiling gaze.


    "Beautiful, what did you say?" Fu Hua asked as he moved her face to face him with a smile. He just heard her confess to him and he wanted to hear that again.


    "I didn''t say anything." Jia Li replied as she avoided eye contact with him. How could she repeat her words, I mean her confession?


    "But I heard you say, you love me already. Is that true?" Fu Hua asked.


    "You didn''t hear well."? Jia Li insisted.


    "That means you said something." Fu Hua said as he chuckled softly. Teasing his wife has always been fun.


    Jia Li red at him as she felt annoyed for teasing her.


    "I heard you say you love me, I love you too." Fu Hua said as he caressed her face before drawing her face closer to him.


    In that kind of ambiance, he was about to kiss her but she didn''t let him. She put her hands on his chest to block him.


    "Freshen up." Jia Li said to him.


    "You really know how to ruin a good mood. You re at your husband now, you scold him and you refuse him. Have I been spoiling you too much?" Fu Hua said as he let her go and messed her hair up.


    "Thest part is true and I chose it. Continue, don''t slow down. Your baby is watching as well." Jia Li said as she caressed her abdomen.


    "I want to speak to my child tonight, go and wash up." Fu Hua said as he helped her up.


    ''He wants to speak with the child?'' Jia Li thought while making her way into the bathroom while Fu Hua stayed back to pack up the gifts he got for her.


    Jia Li didn''t seem to understand Fu Hua''s logic of talking to their child when he wanted her to be half-naked.


    "The baby can feel how intimate we are and grow happily." Fu Hua said while sitting up on the bed. His facial expressions were serious and it was hard for Jia Li to tell if he was lying.


    "Where did you hear that from?" She asked.


    "Have you forgotten the doctor mentioned that our child can feel our love for it and each other? It is also good for our child to grow happily. Don''t you want our child to grow happily?" Fu Hua asked as he reached for her clothes.


    Jia Li held his hand and said to him, "Wait... wait, I feel that you are deceiving. How can I be naked under the covers while you caress my abdomen and talk to our child? Is there no other way?"


    "What are you afraid of, I''m not going to do what you''re thinking." Fu Hua tried to convince her as he closed up on her.


    Jia Li knew he was lying to her. She had an idea of what he wanted to do but she let him. Today was Valentine''s Day she thought. It wouldn''t be bad if she shows him a little love.


    Under the covers, Fu Hua enjoyed caressing Jia Li''s body. He kissed her cheek, arm while putting his hand underneath her nightdress to caress her legs.


    "I can feel youmunicating with the child." Jia Li voiced out.


    Fu Hua chuckled as he could feel how annoyed she was.


    "Don''t think too much, I just want to touch and sleep naked with you." Fu Hus said.


    Fu Hua really kept his promise. He only touched her a few times and hugged her to sleep. But the next morning when he woke up, his promise had already expired.


    With his little brother troubling him, he needed to find a release after holding in for a long time. He was human, not a robot.


    How was it possible to sleep half-naked with his wife under the covers and he won''t have an erection? That''s wasn''t possible.


    Jia Li woke up to his kisses and touches. She didn''t need to ask to know he already wanted her, as she could feel his little brother poking her from behind.


    Being the good wife that she was, sheplied and gave herself up for sacrifice.


    Fu Hua was particrly gentle as he loved her dearly on the bed. When they finished their deed, they rested in each other''s arms before Jia Li got so pressed that she had to leave the bed.


    After breakfast, Fu Hua took Jia Li to soak in Beverly warm Springs. Jia Li felt her muscles rx after soaking for a while. When they went back to their hotel room, Fu Hua helped her to put on some cream on her back, before they got dressed and left again to visit other ces.


    In the evening, Fu Hua took Jia Li to get another massage with essential oils, to help her rx and sleep properly.


    On their way back to their hotel room, they decided to take a short walk, while the soldiers followed closely behind them.


    "Can I take pictures of you?" Jia Li asked as she gazed at him with a smile.


    "Why not? But I''m not a good model." Fu Hua reminded her.


    "I don''t mind." Jia Li said happily as she took out her phone to take pictures of him. She finally understood his warnings. He stood like a tree and had that cold gaze.


    Jia Li tried to make him smile, and he said, "It''s weird taking photos."


    "It''s not weird, you are the one that is weird." Jia Li said as she nced through the pictures she took of him to see if there was any one good enough.


    Fu Hua snatched her phone from her and nced at the pictures she just took of him. "Ugly." He said with a frown and preceded to delete them.


    Before Jia Li could protest, he had already handed her phone to one of the soldiers to take pictures of them.


    Jia Li was still in a daze when she felt the pair of strong arms hug her from behind.


    "If you want beautiful pictures, you have to smile." Fu Hua said as he kissed her ear lobe.


    "I''m smiling, focus." Jia Li said to him immediately. She was embarrassed at how shameless he could be in public.


    Quickly, Jia Li''s mood changed and she was happy to take so many fun pictures with Fu Hua.


    When they went back to their hotel suite, Jia Li couldn''t get enough of staring at the pictures with a visible smile on her face.


    "Why do you look so happy?" Fu Hua asked with a smile.


    "I''m thinking of how much money I will make if I sell these pictures to the media since you banned them from taking pictures of you." Jia Li teased.


    "You can only do that when you''re sure you don''t want to get out of bed for at least a week.." Fu Hua said as a smirk slowly turned up his lips.

 Chapter 231 - A Good Way To Surprise Them

    <h4>Chapter 231 - A Good Way To Surprise Them</h4>


    Jia Li found her life important, so she wouldn''t dare that. When she thought about not being able to get out of bed for a week, she thought there was no way she could survive that.


    Early in the morning of the next day, Jia Li and Fu Hua left for County X (China). Jia Li was half asleep when they got back home, so Fu Hua had to support her to the bedroom to get more sleep.


    A few dayster, Jia Li took Fu Hua on a date when she found out it was his birthday, as she almost forgot about it and Fu Hua didn''t say anything about it.


    Fu Hua was surprised when his little wife asked him out on a date while he was still at work.


    "Do you know how to reserve a restaurant?" He asked over the phone as he smiled.


    "I asked Brother YingPei for help." Jia Li replied happily.


    "I wille home on time to go on the date my wife invited me to." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    "Bye." Jia Li said and ended the call. She chuckled happily and got dressed before leaving the house with her purse.


    She didn''t go out alone, she went out with one of the soldiers. When she arrived at the shopping mall ???? she took her time picking up two pairs of cufflinks and 2 ties ???? for Fu Hua, before going to pay for it.


    She wanted to get him a gift, so she shopped with her card and not the one he gave to her. She has lots of money now and a month and some weeks back, FJ transferred her pay for the rights to her dress.


    The things Jia Li bought were not cheap but she didn''t mind spending a little money on her husband. She only hopes he will ept them and not be annoyed that she got him something.


    When Fu Hua came back and walked into the bedroom, Jia Li was sitting on the couch with a smile. He walked towards her and kissed her cheek.


    "Where are we going on a date?" Fu Hua asked curiously.


    "It''s not a special ce but you will see once we get there. I want you to have this first, I will wait for you downstairs." Jia Li said as she handed the shop bag that contained the gifts to him, before leaving the bedroom.


    She was a bit nervous as she didn''t know what his reaction would be like, so she chose to leave.


    Fu Hua was surprised by the gifts because they were expensive but more importantly, he could tell she chose the gifts carefully since she chose the style of things he uses.


    Fu Hua did not react the way Jia Li was thinking he would react with the gifts. When he met her in the sitting room, he thanked her for the gifts.


    "Thank you for epting them." Jia Li said with a smile as they left the house together.


    The date Jia Li arranged was very simple but at a good restaurant. They had good exotic foods on their table andughed over a ss of wine.


    Jia Li didn''t need a reminder not to drink too much because of her baby, she had only a ss of wine.


    While chatting, the cake Jia Li ordered arrived and she sang along with the people that brought the cake over.


    "...Happy Birthday my dearest darling..."


    When Jia Li finished singing, the staff left, except one of them who was ordered by Jia Li to capture those moments.


    "Make a wish and cut the cake." Jia Li said as she pped her hands in excitement.


    Fu Hua was happy with the surprise that he listened to what she said. He was satisfied with her surprise.


    In the morning before he left the house and when he came back around noon, she didn''t say anything to him regarding his birthday until now, so he was quite happy.


    Jia Li fed Fu Hua a piece of cake and he did the same as well.


    On their way back home, Fu Hua said to her, "You have really spent a lot of money today, why didn''t you use the card I gave to you?"


    "I wanted to spend my money on you." Jia Li replied.


    "The money I gave to you, belongs to you." Fu Hua said as he brushed aside a few strands of her hair.


    "I didn''t work for it." Jia Li said with a smile.


    She wanted to spend her hard-earned money on him and that was the only way to show her sincerity at this time.


    "My little wife has grown up, thank you for today." Fu Hua said happily.


    On the first week in March, a flight ?? from a foreign countrynded in City B''s airport. Some minutester, two youngdies were seen stepping out from the arrivals while chatting happily and they both seemed to be good friends from their interactions.


    "...this will surely be a good way to surprise them." The taller youngdy said as a smile spread across her face.


    "I told you, when you get home, greet Aunty for me." The other youngdy said before parting ways with the other one.


    The cab the seconddy took, drove straight to the Fu Residence. When the security at the gate recognized her, they immediately let the cab drive inside thepound, although it was against the rules.


    They haven''t seen that young miss in a long time and now that she came back after a few years, they just had to let her go in with the cab.


    After the cab driver helped the youngdy take out her bags from the booth, he drove away immediately. He didn''t know who''s the house he came to but seeing the security at the gate, plus the soldiers standing close to the magnificent building, he knew it wasn''t child''s y and left immediately so as not to get into trouble.


    One of the soldiers, went to the youngdy''s side to help her with her bags.


    "This ce hasn''t changed a lot.." She said with a smile as she made her way inside the house.

 Chapter 232 - Fu FangSu

    <h4>Chapter 232 - Fu FangSu</h4>


    When the youngdy stepped inside the house, a servant was passing by with a duster when she saw the familiar face, and she almost screamed in shock.


    "Miss FangSu!" The servant greeted with a bow.


    That''s right, the youngdy that just stepped in is Fu FangSu, Fu Hua, and Fu YingPei''s younger sister, the most pampered grandchild of the Fu family, the old man''s favorite grandchild.


    Hearing that the youngest grandchild of the Fu family was back, the servants came to take a look. They greeted her respectfully and two of them took her bags to her bedroom.


    It was a good thing her bedroom was cleaned every week by the servants, so she didn''t have to worry about dust.


    "Where is everybody?" Fu FangSu asked as she looked around with a calm demeanor. She looked beautiful and young and seemed to be of Jia Li''s age.


    Fu Hee was in her bedroom having a rest when a servant came to announce her daughter''s arrival.


    "What did you say? FangSu is back?" Fu Hee asked in shock as she immediately got off the bed.


    "Yes, Ma''am." The servant replied with a smile. And before she could blink her eyes, Fu Hee had already rushed out of the room.


    The servant followed after her immediately and called for her to slow down.


    When Fu Hee walked into the main sitting room, she saw her beloved daughter standing there win a smile directed at her.


    "Mum, I''m back." Fu FangSu said as she gazed at her mother with a beautiful smile.


    "FangSu?" Fu Hee called out with an affectionate gaze before immediately going over to her daughter''s side to hug her.


    "Mum, it''s me." Fu FangSu said as she embraced her mother with a big smile.


    "I missed you so much, dear daughter." Fu Hee cried out as she hugged her daughter tightly in her arms.


    Fu Hee was already emotional on seeing her daughter and as she hugged her, her eyes became teary.


    "I missed you so much, mum!" FangSu said as she hugged her dearest mother.


    After a while, Fu Hee pulled her to sit over on the sofa and immediately grabbed her hand and looked her in the eyes.


    "SuSu, you are so slim, are you eating properly at all?" Fu Hee asked as she sniffed. Seeing how slim her daughter was, she felt like crying.


    Maybe all the troubles and difficulties she had been going through for the past few months, overwhelmed her and seeing her daughter, triggered those emotions.


    "Mum, I''m eating fine. I''m only on a diet because of thest Fashion Week just before I decided toe back." FangSu exined with a smile.


    "Still, you look so slim. I''m so worried about you. But howe you didn''t tell anyone you wereing back home, you gave our old mother a big shock by appearing just like that." Fu Hee said with worry, as her eyes remained teary.


    Fu Hee wiped her mother''s tear-stained cheeks and said to her, "I wanted to surprise all of you and it worked."


    "You really gave me a shock. You also took a big risk. There are so many cars in the house with security but you took a cab back home after being away for so many years." Fu Hee chided her in a soft tone.


    "Alright mum, stopining! I am here now, it won''t happen again." Fu Hee said as she chuckled softly. She thought her mother worried about insignificant matters unnecessarily but it felt good to be basking in her mother''s love and concern.


    "How can it happen again? I''m not allowing you to leave next time." Fu Hee said as she embraced her again.


    Grandfather Fu was in his study practicing Calligraphy when Butler Lu came in with a smile.


    "Sir, Miss FangSu is back." Butler Lu announced happily.


    Grandfather Fu''s hand slipped and he made a mistake but he wasn''t angry. He put his brush down and nced at his Butler to confirm the news.


    "Sir, the young miss is back, she is in the sitting room with her mother." Butler Lu revealed, as he couldn''t stop himself from smiling, as this was good news, or so he thought.


    "This is good... my granddaughter is back, this is a blessing!" Grandfather Fu said in an excited tone as he got up and left his study with Butler Lu following closely behind him.


    There were only a few things that made the old man of the Fu family so happy and it seems that Fu FangSu''s return was one of them.


    Grandfather Fu was excited that his precious granddaughter was back after a long time. She was the person he doted on the most amongst his grandchildren and she was his favorite.


    FangSu was still chatting with her mother when she heard her old man''s voice and his footsteps. An exciting look could be seen on her face when she saw her grandfather and she immediately abandoned her mother and ran to hug the old man.


    "SuSu!" Grandfather Fu called out happily as his dearest granddaughter came to embrace him. FangSu was careful not to put her wait on him.


    "Grandfather, I missed you so much!'' FangSu cried out when she hugged one of her favorite persons.


    Fu Hee stood up and nced at them with a smile. She was happy her daughter was back and had returned to her rightful position.


    "SuSu, if I didn''te out, you wouldn''t havee to greet me?" Grandfather Fu asked as he feigned anger.


    FangSu released the old man and said while acting like his spoilt little princess, "Grandfather, how dare I note to meet you? Mother saw me first, so I had to greet her and I was abouting to find you when you came over. Forgive me, grandfather."


    "How can I bear to hold something against you? You are wee back to your home." Grandfather Fu said to her.


    "Thank you, grandfather!" FangSu said with a smiling gaze.


    "Now that you are back, you need to freshen up and rest properly, the kitchen will serve you some snacks first while preparing the local dishes for you." Grandfather Fu said.


    "I can''t wait to eat the local dishes, I missed them a lot over there," FangSu said with a pout.


    "You will enjoy them. Go and rx, I will call everyone back home to celebrate your return." Grandfather Fu said while patting her shoulder, then turning to Fu Hee, he said, "Allow SuSu to rest. There is a lot of time for you two to catch up."


    "Yes, father.." Fu Hee said respectfully.

 Chapter 233 - You Mean That Proud Peacock Is Back?

    <h4>Chapter 233 - You Mean That Proud Peacock Is Back?</h4>


    Just like Grandfather instructed, Fu Hee, didn''t go to disturb FangSu as she allowed her daughter to freshen up and get some rest first.


    FangSu had juste out from the shower when she met a servant cing a te of sandwiches ????? some fruits and a ss of juice.


    "Miss, please manage this for now while the kitchen prepares food for you." The servant said as she bowed to FangSu.


    "You can leave." FangSu said to her as she went to sit on the couch ced in her room.


    After the servant left, she picked up her phone and saw that she missed a call from Bai Jun and she called back immediately with a smile.


    At the first ring, Bai Jun answered the call and her happy voice was heard, "SuSu, are you home now?"


    "Yes, I''m back! I just freshened up and I want to hit the bed right away cause I''m tired." FangSu replied happily.


    "I just managed to escape from my mother and as if that was enough, my grandmother came over and wouldn''t let me go." Bai Jun said over the phone.


    "It''s the same over here. My mother and Grandfather held me back. My grandfather ordered me to get some rest and for my mother to give me time." FangSu revealed.


    "That''s good, how is Aunty?" Bai Jun asked with a smile.


    "She is fine. She looked so happy to see me and she seemed a little sad. Bai Jun, let''s talkter, I''ve got to eat." FangSu said with her gaze on the food.


    "You really can''t wait to eat." Bai Jun said as she chuckled softly.


    "My motherined that I was too slim, so I''ve got to eat properly." FangSu said as she chuckled.


    "This is an excuse to eat your hearts away after starving for the Fashion Week Show. Alright, I will let you get some rest...talk to youter, bye..." Bai Jun said.


    "Bye." FangSu said and ended the call after that.


    Fu Hua was still in his office when he got a call from his mother, telling him of his sister''s return.


    "When did shee back?" Fu Hua asked as his countenance lightened.


    "She arrived some minutes ago and she didn''t tell any of us about hering back." Fu Heeined but if you listen carefully to her tone, you will find out that she was ted.


    "I guess she wanted to surprise us." Fu Hua said she tapped his fingers on his desk.


    "That''s the same thing she said. Your Grandfather asked me to call you over for dinner to wee your sister back home after a long time." Fu Hee revealed happily.


    "I have a lot of work to do, so I can''t see her today." Fu Hua said in a calm tone.


    "You have to try ande home, that''s your grandfather''s instruction." Fu Hee said as she mentioned the old man.


    "Did he ask me toe back alone?" Fu Hua asked after a moment of silence.


    When his mother mentioned the old man''s instruction, she didn''t include him bringing Jia Li back with him, she only kept mentioning for him toe back home, so he wanted to know what she was up to.


    Fu Hee knew that her son was testing her, so she immediately said, "How can youe back alone, of course, you have toe back with Jia Li. Don''tete, I have to help out with the preparations, bye."


    After the call ended Fu Hua put his phone back on his desk and continued looking for some information from hisptop. He was currently making investigations on thetest trending clothing styles.


    Fu ChunHua who just came back to the house heard the news of Fu FangSu''s return and didn''t know is to feel happy about it or be annoyed.


    Fu ChunHua went to meet Fu Hee and asked, "I heard FangSu is back, howe she didn''t tell anyone about it?"


    "Does she need anybody''s permission toe back to her home?" Fu Hee asked and sneered after that.


    Fu ChunHua was not offended by her words and instead, said to her with a smile, "It looks like you have regained your vigor, as you''re now acting out of ce but I have to remind you to be careful. Don''t get too excited and make another mistake that will send you packing back to the Fang family."


    Fu Hee was annoyed as she watched Fu ChunHua walk away. Being reminded of her past misfortune was enough to get riled up.


    After Fu ChunHua left, she got the message from Butler Lu to ask Fu Meixu and Fu Ling toe home for dinner to celebrate FangSu''s return, as instructed by the old man.


    Fu Ling had no problem with it and said he would be home on time but Fu Meixu had a big problem with it.


    "Mum, you mean that proud peacock is back?" Fu Meixu asked in an angry tone. She couldn''t help being angry after receiving such bad news.


    "Yes, she is back. I came back home some minutes ago and heard of it from one of the servants." Fu ChunHua said with a sigh.


    "Mum, I''m noting back, tell grandfather that I''m still filming." Fu Meixu said and ended the call directly. She was already seething in rage now. This was not good news to her in any way.


    She would never agree to go for that wee party and watch FangSu act like a queen and outshine her, she refused to be tortured.


    Fu ChunHua sighed tiredly. She has always known that her daughter and FangSu didn''t see eye to eye so she understood her dilemma. Now she had to cover up for her by lying.


    Fu ChunHua met Butler Lu and told him about it and he nodded and went to report to the old man.


    "Let her be." Grandfather Fu said as he continued with his work.. Nobody knew if he had an idea that Fu Meixu lied and was avoiding FangSu or that he didn''t just want to bother about it.

 Chapter 234 - She Is On Heat

    <h4>Chapter 234 - She Is On Heat</h4>


    When Fu Hua came back home, he walked into the living room and asked the servants about Jia Li''s whereabouts.


    "Where is Jia Li, is she sleeping?" He asked the housekeeper.


    "Miss is not at home." The housekeeper replied.


    Fu Hua was surprised and asked, "Where did she go to?"


    "She went to the vet. Ocean was ufortable so she took her to the vet." The housekeeper reported.


    Jia Li was watching Tv with Ocean and discovered that she was ufortable, as she would sometimes bark without warning.


    Jia Li became worried and even tried talking to Ocean but she couldn''t understand her. Ocean was especially fierce when the servants tried to approach Jia Li.


    Even when Jia Li tried to calm her down, she wasn''t so obedient. Jia Li became worried and decided to take him to the vet.


    "Did she go with someone?" Fu Hua asked with a frown.


    "Yes, Sir, she went with two of the soldiers, she didn''t take any of the servants because Ocean wouldn''t let them get close." The housekeeper exined.


    She was truly scared when Ocean was exceptionally fierce to them, even Jia Li couldn''t get her to be obedient like before, so none of them dared to go near their Mistress.


    Fu Hua frowned and said to her while handing his work bag ???? to her, "I''m going back to the Fu residence with Jia Li, no need to make dinner for us."


    Fu Hua was unhappy that Jia Li didn''t go with any servant because she was just a week plus away from being 6 months pregnant and her baby bump had increased.


    He was worried that if she was not careful, an ident may ur and he wouldn''t like anything to happen to her or their baby. He didn''t think the soldiers acting as bodyguards were enough to protect her.


    Fu Hua turned and left the house immediately. As he drove out of the premises, he phoned Jia Li. Luckily, her phone didn''t ring for long before she answered the call.


    "What''s the name of the vet you went to?" Fu Hua asked.


    Jia Li noticed that Fu Hua was unhappy with his tone, so she just gave him the address.


    "I''ming." Fu Hua said and ended the call immediately.


    When he got to the address Jia Li gave to him, he saw a big vet shop there. He parked his car and got off, making his way to the shop with giant strides.


    From the ss door, he could see a soldier standing beside Jia Li who looked worried, while the other one was standing close to the door.


    The soldier standing close to the door caught sight of Fu Hua, opened the door and greeted him.


    Immediately Jia Li saw Fu Hua, she stood up with teary eyes.


    When Fu Hua saw the tears brimming in her eyes, his anger disappeared immediately and he immediately went to her side and held her shoulder as she asked in a worried tone, "Why are you crying?"


    "I think Ocean is sick. Is she going to die?" Jia Li said and buried her face in his chest and started to cry.


    Fu Hua rubbed her back and consoled her, "Don''t worry, nothing will happen to Ocean. Stop crying."


    Jia Li felt relieved with his words offort. She stopped crying and allowed him to lead her back to her seat.


    "What did the doctor say?" Fu Hua asked as he pats Jia Li''s hair. Jia Li refused to let him go after she sat down.


    "I''m waiting for him. Since he took Ocean in for a checkup, he hasn''te out. The vet nurse asked me to wait here." Jia Li said as she sniffed.


    "Rx, let''s wait for the doctor toe out." Fu Hua said.


    About 3 minutester, the supposed vet doctor came out with a nurse and Ocean walking in the center of both of them.


    Jia Li wanted to rush over to Ocean''s side but Fu Hua held her back. "Don''t run."


    Jia Li sat back obediently and allowed Ocean toe to her side. As Jia Li hugged her, Fu Hua turned to the vet doctor to ask, "What''s wrong with the dog?"


    The doctor and nurse were still shocked to see Fu Hua and couldn''t believe he was rted to the worried woman who came with the dog they just took care of.


    As Fu Hua asked him that question, he came back to his senses and regained his professionalism. "There is nothing seriously wrong with the dog. She is on heat and that''s the reason she was ufortable and reacting that way."


    Jia Li heard the doctor''s words and looked up in surprise. "Ocean is not sick?"


    "No Ma''am, she is alright. She only needs to mate to feel alright." The doctor replied.


    "Oh!" Jia Li said before fixing her gaze on Ocean.


    "Thank you!" Fu Hua said to the doctor. The only reason he said thanks was because of Jia Li''s worries. Since the doctor managed to calm the dog belonging to his wife, he felt grateful.


    He wouldn''t like for Jia Li to cry over her dog again, if possible.


    "No worries, sir, it''s my job. If you are set to let her mate, we can arrange for it." The doctor added.


    "We will take care of it." Fu Hua said to him before turning to Jia Li.


    "Let''s go or we will bete for dinner at the Fu Residence."


    One of the soldiers took the leash from Jia Li and led Ocean out, while the other one opened the door for them.


    "Why are we going back?" Jia Li asked curiously.


    "Fangsu is back!" Fu Hua revealed as he held the car door open for Jia Li to get, before going over to the drivers'' side of his car.


    "Bring Ocean along to the Fu residence." Fu Hua instructed the soldiers, before getting into the driver''s seat of his first car.


    "FangSu?" Jia Li asked with a frown because she was confused.


    "My sister, she is back and Grandfather asked us toe back to celebrate her return." Fu Hua exined.


    He didn''t me Jia Li for not recalling his sister''s name because her name wasn''t mentioned any time in the house.

 Chapter 235 - I Have Heard A Lot About You

    <h4>Chapter 235 - I Have Heard A Lot About You</h4>


    Arriving at the Fu House, Fu Hua held Jia Li''s hand after they stepped out of the car.


    Jia Li had fixed her gaze on the second car as the soldiers took Ocean out of it. "Ocean." Jia Li called out but Fu Hua pulled her towards him.


    "Do you want to take her inside for dinner with the rest of the family?" Fu Hua asked.


    "No...but..." Jia started, but her words were cut off.


    "There are no buts. Let them take care of her. Have you forgotten what the vet doctor said?" Fu Hua said in a reminder.


    "Come, let''s go inside." He said as he pulled her to walk inside the house and she slowly retracted her gaze and followed him.


    Thinking of meeting her Sister-inw for the first time, Jia Li suddenly became nervous. She didn''t know if FangSu would like her.


    Fu FangSu who had been waiting eagerly for her brother heard from one of the servants that he was there already. She left what she was doing and ran towards the main entrance to the house.


    FangSu saw Fu Hua waking in with a woman beside him, she didn''t bother to take a good look at her, as all her attention was on her Big Brother.


    "Brother!" FangSu called out in excitement as she ran towards Fu Hua and hugged him tightly.


    "You''re back." Fu Hua said as he let her hug him to her heart''s content, while still holding onto Jia Li''s left hand.


    "Brother, I missed you so much!" FangSu said as she tightened her hold on him.


    "What''s there to miss me for?" Fu Hua asked with a slight smile.


    Jia Li guessed from their interaction that the brother and sister have a good rtionship, even though Fu Hua was not acting like one that missed his sister.


    FangSu finally let go of Fu Hua and started toin. "Brother you''re so mean! You don''t care about me, brother Pei is much better."


    The smile on Fu Hua''s face spread more, and he said to her, "Cut the crap, who said I don''t care about you? FangSu, this is your sister-inw, Jia Li. Jia Li, meet my younger Sister, FangSu."


    "Hello!" Jia Li greeted FangSu with a smile.


    FangSu nced at the hands of her brother and Jia Li that were joined together, before looking up at Jia Li. She faked a smile and waved at Jia Li.


    "I have heard a lot about you!" FangSu said with a smile that was not a smile. Now wanting to waste her time on Jia Li, she nced back at her brother and smile profoundly, before grabbing his left arm


    "Brother, I bought gifts for everyone,e on, we have to hurry in already." FangSu said as she pulled Fu Hua to go inside.


    "Slow down!" Fu Hua said while holding onto Jia Li''s soft hand. He didn''t want to let go of Jia Li even with her pulling her that way.


    Jia Li felt that FangSu didn''t like her but she was not sure if her instinct was wrong.


    FangSu continued chatting with Fu Hua until they got to the dining room, where everyone was waiting for them.


    Seeing Jia Li, grandfather Fu smiled and said to FangSu, "SuSu, have you seen your sister-inw, Jia Li?"


    FangSu smiled sweetly as she replied to the happy old man, "Yes grandfather, I''ve seen her."


    "Good!" Grandfather Fu responded with a smile. It would be good if the two people he liked best became close.


    FangSu finally let go of Fu Hua and went to sit on the left side of Grandfather Fu, while Jia Li and Fu Hua walked to his right side.


    As Fu Hua helped Jia Li to take off her thick oversized coat and handed it to the servant standing behind them, FangSu''s eyes nearly popped out in shock when she saw Jia Li''s baby bump.


    "She''s pregnant?!" She was so shocked that she blurted that question out. Never would she have thought that Jia Li was already pregnant and her baby bump was already very visible enough.


    Earlier when she saw her brother, she didn''t pay attention to Jia Li and also because she didn''t like her, so she didn''t see her baby bump and the big thick overcoat she wore, helped to hide the baby bump from her.


    "Yes, she is." Grandfather Fu said happily.


    Fu Hee saw the daughter''s shocked gaze and looked away. She was guilty of not telling her about it because she didn''t want her to be worried at the time.


    Fu ChunHua smiled and used a ss of water to hide it. She knows that FangSu was friends with the daughter of the Bai family and since both mother and daughter wanted Fu Hua to marry Bai Jun and the ns failed, FangSu would hate Jia Li.


    Jia Li felt awkward with FangSu''s surprised glint. She only felt better when Fu Hua pulled out a seat for her and helped her to sit down.


    "Jia Li, be careful of your baby bump not to hit the edge of the table." Fu ChunHua reminded with a smile, before she moved her gaze to Fu Hee and then to FangSu to know what their reaction would be.


    Fu Hee didn''t say anything, nor did she react to what Fu ChunHua said. It was only FangSu who was currently gritting her teeth ???? secretly while staring at Jia Li.


    At ChunHua''s reminder, Grandfather Fu nced over to check if there was a safe distance between Jia Li''s baby bump and the edge of the table but from that angle, he was sitting (Head table), he couldn''t see properly, so he said to her...


    "Li girl, don''t trouble yourself if your hand can''t reach the dishes on the table, Fu Hua will help you with them."


    "Thank you, grandfather." Jia Li said with a smile while FangSu was seething with rage.


    ''Did she just address my grandfather like he belonged to her?'' FangSu asked herself as she felt anger boiling inside of her.


    During dinner, FangSu didn''t keep her mouth shut and nobody chided her for talking while eating.


    FangSu made small talks with almost everybody and replied to any questions she was asked but she intentionally ignored Jia Li.

 Chapter 236 - FangSus Jealousy

    <h4>Chapter 236 - FangSu''s Jealousy</h4>


    Jia Li at first felt left out, but with Fu Hua there for her she didn''t think too much about it.


    Grandfather Fu and Fu Hua put food on Jia Li''s te and that made FangSu jealous.


    "Grandfather Fu what about me?" FangSu asked while pointing at her te with a pout.


    Grandfather Fu chuckled softly and put some side dishes on her te and only then did she feel better.


    Seeing how her brother was paying so much attention to Jia Li, FangSu couldn''t take it. Because she was sitting opposite them, there was no way her eyes wouldn''t be on them at every moment.


    "Brother, put some food on my te." FangSu demanded as she touched her te with her chopsticks ????


    Jia Li and Fu Hua nced over at the same time but Jia Li was the first to look away, as she quietly put some food in her mouth.


    "Are you a child?" Fu Hua asked.


    "She is not a child either." FangSu pointed out and that was enough for everyone to know that she was jealous of the treatment being given to Jia Li.


    "She is pregnant with my child, so I have to feed my child." Fu Hua said and looked away from her.


    "FangSu, you should eat your food, your grandfather asked the kitchen to prepare your favorites." Fu Hee said as she tried to get her daughter''s attention before her thoughts and emotions against Jia Li will be exposed.


    FangSu nced at her mother and got the message, before going on to eat her food quietly.


    Fu YingPei picked a side dish with his chopsticks before going to put it on FangSu''s te.


    "Eat and stop whining like a child." YingPei said to her before going back to his seat.


    FangSu so badly wanted to tell him that she didn''t need it but she shut her mouth and continued eating her food.


    Fu ChunHua enjoyed the little drama and wished her daughter was around, so it would be easier to expose FangSu''s hatred for Jia Li.


    Fu ChunHua was aware that Fu Hee was the one that stopped FangSu fromining but she decided not to stir up the mes ???? for today.


    After dinner, Grandfather Fu asked Fu ChunHua to send some soup to Jia Li in the bedroom, since it was healthy for her and her child.


    FangSu was surprised because that should be her mother''s role, assigning tasks to the servants, since when did her Auntie start doing those things?


    As FangSu who didn''t have the slightest idea that her mother was no longer the mistress of the house was lost in thought, Fu Hua got up and held onto Jia Li''s hand, so she could stand up.


    The noise from the chair brought FangSu back to her senses. She saw that Fu Hua was about to leave with Jia Li and she got up from her seat and blocked their way.


    She faked a smile and said to Fu Hua, "Brother, can I follow you? I have some things to talk to you about."


    Before Fu Hua could reply, they all heard grandfather Fu called out to FangSu.


    "FangSu, don''t disturb your brother and your sister-inw. Follow me to the study and chat with me."


    FangSu was unhappy but she slowly stepped out of the way.


    "SuSu, I know you missed your brother, so you can visit him in his house when he leaves tomorrow." Fu Hee said from the side with a smile.


    She was giving her daughter another option to be close to her brother.


    "With FangSu acting this way, Jia Li and Fu Hua are destined not to have peace when she visits." Fu ChunHua said from the side with a smile.


    Fu Hee shot her a re and replied immediately, "It''s normal for SuSu to act this way, as she hasn''t seen her brother who she used to be very close to, in years, so it will take a little time for her to adjust to the current situation and besides, Jia Li and Fu Hua has been married for some time now, so what peace is there to disrupt?"


    Fu ChunHua chuckled and replied, "Why are you taking my words seriously, I was only joking. How can I stop a sister from visiting her brother? I''m sure FangSu is sensible enough and will not disturb her brother and Sister-inw, especially now that Jia Li is pregnant."


    Fu ChunHua''s words were hinting at something obvious.


    Grandfather Fu didn''t say anything on the matter and asked FangSu to follow him to his study for a chat.


    After Grandfather Fu and FangSu left, YingPei and Fu Ling left as well, now, only Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua stayed back.


    "What were you trying to do earlier, by stopping FangSu from going to visit her brother?" Fu Hee asked angrily.


    "I should be the one asking that question. What are you trying to do by suggesting for FangSu to go visit Fu Hua in his house when you know how much she hates Jia Li? Are you trying to stir up another trouble?" Fu ChuHua asked.


    "You are the only one who has negative thoughts! Don''t frame me or use me of anything." Fu Hee said whilst rolling her eyes at her.


    "You are the one who knows if I''m making up things or not." Fu ChunHua said to her.


    Fu Hee frowned and said to her angrily, "Mind your business you old Hag!"


    "Well, this old hag is the one currently sitting in your position and wearing your crown!" Fu ChunHua said with a taunting smile.


    The two of them abused each other with words they knew would hurt the other.


    Back at Fu Hua and Jia Li''s bedroom, Fu Hua set a bathe for Jia Li before calling her to have a warm bath.


    Jia Li''s facial expression was done and she had a lot of thoughts going through her mind, coupled with the unsettled feeling in her chest.


    After she had her bath and came back to the bedroom, she saw Fu Hua sitting on the couch and decided to voice out her worries....

 Chapter 237 - First Kick

    <h4>Chapter 237 - First Kick</h4>


    "I think your sister doesn''t like me." Jia Li said to him.


    ncing at her, Fu Hua asked with a smile, "Why do you think so?" Not waiting for her to reply, he added, "Is it because of her attitude towards you?"


    "Exactly." Jia Li replied with a worried gaze. It bothered her that her sister-inw didn''t like her. And she wondered how she had offended her when it was just their first time meeting.


    Thinking back to FangSu''s words when they exchanged greeting, ''I have heard a lot about you'', she wondered if her mother-inw said some words against her that made FangSu dislike her or maybe the reason was different.


    "Don''t think too much about it. She is probably jealous about you. She used to be the most doted upon by the family before she left. She must have felt bad when she saw you receiving the same treatment that she used to receive." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    "Are you saying she is jealous that I''m being treated well by you and grandfather?" Jia Li asked as she couldn''t make meaning of that reasoning.


    "You can put it that way. FangSu is spoilt, so don''t think too much about it. Is that the reason you were so worried?" Fu Hu asked as he pulled her to sit on his thighs.


    Jia Li''s facial expression still didn''t look good, so Fu Hua decided to change the topic.


    "You are heavier now, what have you been eating?"


    "I don''t know." Jia Li replied as she nced at him. She even adjusted herself to sitfortably on his thighs.


    Fu Hua chuckled and brought his hand in front of her night robe. Quickly, his right hand unfastened the belt of her robe and opened it.


    "You''re not wearing anything." Fu Hua said as he caressed her abdomen and stared into her eyes.


    "I''m putting on something." Jia Li replied as she enjoyed his hands caressing her baby bump.


    Jia Li was putting on cotton panties and a cotton sports bra that had thin pads inside. The bra was sofortable that she didn''t have any problems with wearing it to sleep.


    As she was already 6 months pregnant, her breasts were heavy and painful and added to the fact that she was busty already before putting on some weight there, she couldn''t sleep like that and had to support the weight of her breasts.


    As she said she was putting on something, Fu Hua opened her robe very well to see that she was indeed putting on her undies. Because of her baby bump, it wasn''t easy to see her panties, unless he opened the robe well and nced at the side of her waist.


    Fu Hua''s fingers, slightly cupped her left breast and asked, "Is it painful?" Jia Li nodded in response.


    "Sorry, let me massage it for you." Fu Hua said as he started to gently rub her breast through her bra.


    "You will make it more painful." Jia Li said with a frown as she held back his hand.


    "I''m sorry. The doctor said it''s normal, so you might have to bear with it for a while. We have four additional months before we can see our child, so bear with it." Fu Hua said as he leaned in to kiss her cheek before going back to caressing her baby bump.


    It didn''t take up to a few seconds before Jia Li and Fu Hua both felt the kick from the baby. There were surprised smiles on their faces as they nced at each other.


    "Did I just feel the baby kick right now?" Jia Li asked in a hushed tone as she stared at Fu Hua wide-eyed, for fear that the baby might hear her.


    "I felt it too." Fu Hua replied with a happy smile as he continued caressing her baby bump to see if the child would react again.


    This was the first time they were feeling the baby kick and they experienced their first time together.


    You need to have seen the priceless expression on their faces. When they both felt the baby kick for the second time, they couldn''t help chuckling happily.


    Fu Hua took Jia Li''s hand and pressed it on her baby bump, as his other hand, pressed on her hand.


    The baby seemed to be happy at feeling its parents'' hands on it and so it kicked a few times. The kicks were gentle, so Jia Li didn''t feel any pain.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua took some time as they conversed with their child. Jia Li could see the happy smile on Fu Hua''s face when he talked to the child and she could tell he didn''t regret having the child with her and so she smiled brightly.


    When the baby finally stopped responding, Fu Hua kissed Jia Li softly on the cheek before tying the belt of her robe.


    "I''m going to take a shower, you can go to bed first." Fu Hua said to her as they both stood to their feet. Jia Li went to the bed toy down, while Fu Hua went to have his night bath.


    In Grandfather Fu''s study, he sat on the sofa with FangSu and said to her, "SuSu, it''s wrong to be jealous of your sister-inw, you are no longer a child that should feel bad if the attention that was given to you is shared. And besides, your sister-inw is a quiet person and she is easy to get along with. I will be very happy if you stop your childish acts and be good to her."


    FangSu was unhappy that her grandfather called her attention-seeking a childish act but she didn''t show it.


    Grandfather Fu knew she was unhappy and decided to change the topic since he still cared about her feelings. She just came back and it wasn''t right to scold her.


    "Tell me about your experience over there, you must have encountered a lot." Grandfather Fu said she gazed at her with a smile.


    FangSu recovered a bit after he changed the topic and went on to recount all the encounters she experienced over there and didn''t forget to keep mentioning Bai Jun in most of the conversation.


    Grandfather Fu''s countenance did not look so good with the way she kept mentioning Bai Jun but he didn''t say anything about it.


    Bai Jun has always been FangSu''s best friend since their childhood days, so telling her right now to stop associating with her will never work, so Grandfather didn''t say anything about it.


    He was looking for an opportunity to stop her interactions with the daughter of the Bai family.

 Chapter 238 - Demand for the truth

    <h4>Chapter 238 - Demand for the truth</h4>


    After chatting for almost an hour, FangSu bid good night to the old man before leaving for her room.


    "Lu, do you think she will listen to me, or end up like her mother?" Grandfather Fu asked Butler Lu who has been in the room when he talked with FangSu.


    "Sir, it''s hard to say. But Miss FangSu will likely offend you since she has a deep rtionship with the daughter of the Bai family."


    Grandfather sighed and shut his eyes as his thoughts remained unknown.


    FangSu didn''t go to her bedroom after she left her grandfather''s study instead, she went to her mother''s bedroom to look for her.


    FangSu knocked once and entered without waiting for her mother''s response. Her father wasn''t around, so there was no need to wait for permission.


    "Mum, you''re not asleep yet?" FangSu asked as she went to her on the bed beside her mother..


    "I was waiting for you." Fu Hee said as she managed a smile.


    "You knew I wasing to meet you?" FangSu asked in surprise as she thought it was that obvious.


    "It was very obvious. What did youe to find me for?" Fu Hee asked as she knew her daughter came to see her because she had questions to ask.


    "Mum, why is Aunty ChunHua ying your role and why didn''t you tell me about that woman''s pregnancy?" FangSu asked with a smile.


    Fu Hee sighed before saying, "SuSu, it will be better if you don''t know about it, I don''t want you stirring up trouble."


    "Mum what do you mean? I just want to know what happened while I was away." FangSu insisted. She knew that for her mother to act this way, something serious must have happened and that alone made her inquisitive as she wanted to know everything that happened.


    Fu Hee was quiet and FangSu urged her the more.


    "Mum, tell me that happened!"


    Fu Hee nced at her and began to tell her a bit of everything that happened while she was away.


    "When I found out that Jia Li was going to marry your brother, I was so angry that I went to meet your grandfather to talk about it and that was the first day I talked to Bai Fen about your brother and Bai Jun getting married... your grandfather threw ink on me...sent me out of his study and asked me to pay for it... I pped Jia Li in a fit of anger and your grandfather removed my mistress title and passed it to ChunHua... I gave Jia Li the wrong food after she was pregnant and I got scolded a lot...your brother reported me to your father and he left the military camp and came home to drive me out of the house. That day, he said I was going to go back to my Fang family and he cause a lot of scenes. I pleaded with him but he refused to listen, your brother saw what was happening and refused to get involved, it was like he wanted me to be punished."


    When Fu Hee got to this point, she started crying. FangSu was already very angry while listening to her mother. She was only trying topose herself because she wanted to hear the end of the story.


    "Mum, don''t cry, tell me everything. Don''t hide anything from me." FangSu said as she pats her back soothingly.


    Fu Hee wiped her tears and continued. "Atst, it was your grandfather that came and gave me another chance, but he still punished me by deducting my monthly allowance for a few months and banned me from leaving the house for some time, and this was better than being sent back to the Fang family, so I thanked him. Your grandfather threatened to bring the Fang family down and give my head to them if Imit any more mistakes against Jia Li."


    "Mum, you mean you went through such humiliations and pains because of that girl?" FangSu asked in a loud tone as her anger boiled.


    She couldn''t believe that her mother suffered so much because of an outsider.


    "You have seen it. Everybody is against me in this house. I can''t even go to visit your brother in his ce, your grandfather banned me from going there." Fu Hee added in a sad tone.


    "Is everybody in this house blind? Can''t they see that woman is the one at fault? How could shee to ruin a happy family and she isfortable with it! What about brother, did that woman charm him?" FangSu ranted on and on in anger.


    "Even I don''t know what went wrong with your brother. Initially, he refused the marriage when your grandfather first proposed it. Then along the line, I don''t know what happened and he suddenly epted the proposal." Fu Hee said.


    Till today, she did the know the mystery behind Fu Hua epting the marriage proposal he once rejected, even though the old man didn''t care if he wanted the marriage or not.


    "Mum, it''s obvious that woman is a witch! She has charmed my brother and my grandfather and got everyone to dance to her tone. She is such a shameless woman and I''m going to teach her a big lesson before I send her out of this family." FangSu promised angrily.


    She was very angry that her mother suffered so many losses because of Jia Li and also lost the respect she had in the family. She med Jia Li for everything that went wrong in the Fu family and swore to take revenge on her.


    Fu Hee became rmed when she heard FangSu talk about teaching Jia Li a lesson. She wiped her tears and said to her in an urgent tone,


    "SuSu, even if you don''t like that woman, don''t go against her because everyone in the family likes her and she has them backing her, especially your grandfather. He wouldn''t mind dealing with anyone that troubles Jia Li, he won''t care if you''re the one. Your grandfather dotes on that girl more than you can imagine."


    FangSu''s brows creased in a frown as she said, "What can grandfather do other than to scold me for a bit?"

 Chapter 239 - Dont try anything funny

    <h4>Chapter 239 - Don''t try anything funny</h4>


    Fu Hee felt that FangSu has underestimated how much her grandfather loved, cared, doted on, and protected Jia Li, so she advised her with a frightened gaze.


    "FangSu, don''t try anything bad with Jia Li, your grandfather had changed a lot. He will not mind that you are his favorite grandchild and will not spare you if you do anything to Jia Li. You have to learn from my story, I don''t want you to end up like me. I used to hold the Phoenix position in this family but today look how hard I''ve fallen just because I went against your grandfather to try to harm Jia Li."


    The more FangSu listened, the angrier she became. "Mum, are you saying we should leave that woman to continue destroying the peace in our family? Look how shameless she is by looking and acting so innocent!"


    "FangSu, I have warned you already, you can''t afford to lose favor in the sight of your grandfather, father and brother because of that woman, it''s not worth it. To be on the safe side, you have to stay away from the Bai family, so you won''t be influenced by them tomit a rash mistake that you will make to regret just like me! There is no pill for regret." Fu Hee said to her in a worried tone.


    "Mum, are you saying that I should stop interacting with the Bai family and even my friend, Bai Jun, all because of the risk of getting into trouble?" FangSu asked as she couldn''t believe it with her ears.


    Before Fu Hee could respond, she added, "Mum, don''t tell me you''ve stopped talking to Aunty Fen because of this?"


    "FangSu, things are as you thought and things are not as easy as you think it is. If I had continued interacting with Bai Fen, I would have been tempted to get into more trouble and the threats your father and grandfather posed on me woulde through. Right now, your mother has only her life and you, nothing more." Fu Hee said almost in tears.


    FangSu stared at her mother in disbelief. She couldn''t believe that her mother had stopped interacting with her good friend for fear of offending her grandfather.


    She wondered if Jia Li had much influence on her grandfather for her mother to be so scared to talk to her friend.


    "Mum, do you think grandfather likes that woman more than me?" FangSu asked with an annoyed glint.


    Fu Hee nced at her and replied, "I don''t know but don''t underestimate your grandfather''s doting prowess. Jia Li is pregnant with his great-grandchild, so the chances of him prioritizing that woman are very high."


    The anger and jealousy FangSu felt, rose to the highest level and her hatred for Jia Li intensified.


    FangSu got up from the bed and said with her gaze resting on her mother. "Mum rx, you don''t need to care about anything. I will take of the matter."


    Fu Hee was so scared that we immediately pulled her hand. "You...you... what do you want to do? Don''t try anything funny or your grandfather and brother will deal with you."


    FangSu pushed her hands away and said as she has made up her mind, "Mum, don''t worry about me. No one is going to me you for anything. I''m going to sleep, I need to get over my jetg as soon as possible."


    After saying that, FangSu said good night to her before leaving her bedroom. And no matter how many times her mother called for her, she didn''t answer.


    The next morning, FangSu woke up to a call from Bai Jun.


    Hearing her drowsy tone, Bai Jun asked in a soft tone, "Are you still sleeping?"


    "Yes, you woke me up." Bai Jun whined as she sat up on the bed with her phone ced on her left ear.


    "I''m sorry." Bai Jun apologized.


    "It''s fine, I am awake now. Why did you call so early?" FangSu replied, not holding any grudge against her.


    "I have been disturbed since I learned from my mother that she hasn''t spoken to your mother for a long time and your mum blocked her number." Bai Jun said in an urgent tone.


    She couldn''t sleep properly after her mother came to find her in her bedroomst night to tell her about her rtionship with Fu Hee.


    Bai Jun was worried that with both women not talking to each other anymore, it may affect her being close to Fu Hua, so she woke up early and was waiting for 7 AM to reach, just so she could call FangSu to talk about it.


    "Bai Jun, this is the wrong time to talk about this. I was so angryst night after my mother told me everything she suffered all because of that woman my brother got married to." FangSu reacted angrily when she was reminded of what happened the previous night.


    Bai Jun became rmed and asked about what made FangSu so angry and then, Fu Hee went on to recount the story her mother told her, on how she tried to protect Bai Jun''s interest but lost so many things due to it, then the threats and humiliations she suffered.


    "What?! Your father really did that? My mother had no idea about it and has been thinking that your mother went back on her words and was deliberately ignoring her." Bai Jun said in shock.


    After finding out the truth her mother had no idea about, she was very shocked and pitied Fu Hee for having gone through such situations just for her sake.


    But then, she started to be worried as many thoughts began to run through her mind. What if I don''t get any chance because of this?


    "My mother has suffered a lot in the hands of that woman but that''s not the only reason I''m so angry. That woman is pregnant!" FangSu revealed.


    Bai Jun thought she didn''t hear well and eximed, "What?!"


    "I was shocked when I saw her protruding stomach and it looks like she has a few months left before she gives birth. I have no idea why my mother hid this from me." FangSuined bitterly.


    Talking about all of these, made her heart pump green blood. She was so angry that she wouldn''t mind killing Jia Li if they were to be left alone.

 Chapter 240 - I cant tolerate it

    <h4>Chapter 240 - I can''t tolerate it</h4>


    Bai Jun didn''t know how she ended the conversation with Fu FangSu. She was still sitting in her bedroom in shock and didn''t know when she started crying until her mother came to look for her.


    "Why are you crying?" Bai Fen asked in a worried done as she went to sit beside Bai Jun and pat her back repeatedly.


    "Mum, did you know that woman brother Hua married is pregnant?" Bai Jun asked with tears in her eyes.


    "It''s that the reason you''re crying? That one is nothing, it''s not going to stop you from getting married into the Fu family." Bai Fen said to her in a calm demeanor while patting her back.


    "Mum, I don''t just want to get married into the Fu family, I want to get married to Fu Hua but how can that happen when his wife is already pregnant?" Bai Jun asked with a tear-stained face.


    "There is still a possibility. For now, we can''t touch her but we can make you get closer to Fu Hua in the meantime." Bai Fen said to her..


    "Mum, do you think that is still possible? Brother Hua and everyone in that family loves that woman and they are always protecting her..." As for Bai Jun said, she went on to tell her mother everything FangSu said to her concerning the matter.


    "What?! Fu Hee was really threatened to be sent back to the Fang family?" Bai Fen asked in shock. She couldn''t believe that the simple matter escted to a great extent.


    Now she knew the reason Fu Hee cut off ties with her.


    "Mum, with how the patriarch of the Fu family and brother Hua are protecting that woman, we can''t even touch her. The patriarch threatened Aunty Hee with the child that woman was carrying. He said if anything happens to the child, he wouldn''t care to know if she was involved or not, he would bring the Fang family down and she will pay with her life." Bai Jun said as more tears rolled down her cheeks.


    Bai Fen was quiet for a while before speaking up, "That old man is so cunning. If anything happens to that woman while she is pregnant, he will me Fu Hee and then Fu Hee will not spare us. For now, we will allow her to give birth safely, while you try to get Fu Hua to fall for you."


    "Mum, what kind of man do you think brother Hua is? Do you think he will easily fall for that trick?" Bai Jun asked.


    "There is no man that is not powerless towards a part of a woman''s charm. You just said that he is treating that woman so well but that was the same woman he rejected to marry before. Find out how that woman got Fu Hua wrapped in her arms and do the same." Bai Fen said to her daughter in a serious tone.


    "Mum, I hate all of these!" Bai Jun said as she started to cry again.


    "Why are you crying when we can think of a solution. If anyone sees you crying and asked for the reason, do you dare to say it? We will get in trouble if anyone in the family finds out we still have our eyes on the Fu family. That old man from the Fu family already came to warn our entire Bai family to stay away from them." Bai Fen said as she recounted how she taught Jia Li a lesson, the photos she sent to Fu Hua and how the old man came to warn them.


    Bai Jun gazed at her mother with her tear-stained cheeks. She was feeling slightly depressed with all the troubles she has to go through just to be with Fu Hua.


    Bai Fen cleaned her daughter''s tear-stained cheeks and said to her, "Since you''re on good terms with FangSu, we can hope that she will help you to get close to Fu Hua. We just have to hope she is not influenced by her mother to stay away from us."


    Bai Jun did not feel relieved with only Fu FangSu helping her. But currently, she didn''t have any choice other than to make do with whatever she has.


    After breakfast at the Fu family, Jia Li and Fu Hua were about to leave when FangSu came to meet them.


    "Brother, can Ie to visit you?" FangSu asked with a pout as she juggled Fu Hua''s arm.


    "You cane if you want but don''te to cause trouble. I won''t tolerate it." Fu Hua warned.


    "Why is everyone saying I would cause trouble when Ie to visit you?" FangSu said in a frustrated tone.


    "Are you not a trouble maker?" YingPei asked as he walked over.


    FangSu nced at her second brother and her frown spread across her face.


    "Brother Pei, you have be my enemy, how can you speak ill against me in front of Big Brother?" FangSu asked in an annoyed tone. She felt her second brother was out to ruin her image and that might get her big brother to change his mind.


    "Have you forgotten how you used to look for troubles and escape smoothly?" YingPei asked with a teasing smile as he pointed at her.


    FangSu nced at Fu Hua before ncing back at YingPei in anger. "Brother Pei that was a long time ago, I''m not a child anymore. I don''t know why you would bring that up now."


    Turning to Fu Hua who was standing there with Jia Li beside him, she said, "Brother Hua, you have already granted your permission, you can''t take it back, I''m leaving."


    After saying that, she left hurriedly for fear that Fu Hua might actually change his mind.


    Fu Hua and YingPei had smiles on their faces when their little sister escaped.


    "Brother you are leaving already. Sister-inw, when will you invite me to the house toe and eat?" YingPei asked with an expectant gaze.


    Before Jia Li could reply, Fu Hua was already pulling her to leave as he replied to YingPei, "I don''t have to remind you of what will happen when I get to work before you, right?."


    "What? Brother, you areing to the office?" Fu YingPei asked in surprise as he stared wide-eyed watching Fu Hua leave with Jia Li.


    He had no idea his big brother was thinking about going to work and he was having the confidence, that he can arrive at work on the dot.


    Fu YingPei immediately bolted to his room to pick up his work bag to leave for the office. He met Jia Li and Fu Hua outside, as Jia Li was rubbing Ocean''s body.


    YingPei didn''t dy after he waves goodbye to them. He got into his car and drove off immediately.


    It was really scary to get a threat from his brother.

 Chapter 241 - Meeting The Woman He Kept At Home

    <h4>Chapter 241 - Meeting The Woman He Kept At Home</h4>


    Fu FangSu and Bai Jun spent the next 2 days getting over their jetg.


    The next day, Fu FangSu decided to visit Fu Hua and she sent him a text, asking for his address. Fu Hua was still at work when the text came and without having any other thoughts, he sent his address to her with no other message attached to it.


    After receiving the address from Fu Hua, FangSu smiled and immediately phoned Bai Jun who was sitting in her bedroom in a moody state.


    "I want you to follow me somewhere." FangSu said with a smile.


    "Where is that?" Bai Juan asked in a dispirited tone. She was not in a good mood to entertain her.


    FangSu could tell from Bai Jun''s tone that she was not in a good mood and that was the more reason for her to smile brightly because she was sure the news she was about to share with her, will immediately lighten her mood.


    "I''m going to visit my eldest brother, are youing with me, or should I go alone?" FangSu asked in a teasing tone.


    Bai Jun became alert and asked in an urgent tone, "Are you going to see Brother Hua?"


    "Yes, he just sent me his address, if you are interested, hurry up and get dressed. I wille to your house to pick you up" FangSu said to her.


    "What! This is a good news! I will be ready in 30 minutes, I have to go now, bye." Bai Jun said and ended the call in excitement.


    FangSu was infected by her excited tone and smiled as well. She threw her phone on the bed and went straight to her walk-in closet to pick a dress.


    Seeing her empty closet which contained only the things she came back with, FangSu drafted out a n to go shopping soon.


    While getting dressed, FangSu saw the gift she was supposed to give Fu Hua and sighed. "Good thing I''m going over to his ce."


    As she said that, she finished dressing up and took the paper bag out with her. She had already given the rest of the family the gifts she brought back for them.


    The only that was left belonged to Fu Hua and her father. Her father was toe back the next day, so when hees, she would hand over his present to him.


    For Fu ChunHua and Fu Meixu, FangSu acted petty and got them a little something. Since Fu Meixu was not around, she gave her gift to her mother to keep for her.


    FangSu didn''t have a car yet, so she had to go out with one of the cars in the house. She had one of the drivers drive her to the Bai family''s residence.


    On getting there, she stepped into the house and Bai Fen was the first person to see her and immediately hugged her.


    Bai Fen was not surprised to see her, since Bai Jun had already informed her about going to visit Fu Hua in his private residence but she still had to act that way ????


    Bai Fen praised FangSu''s beauty as she looked her up and down.


    "...I heard you took care of Jun over there, thank you!" Bai Fen said with a smile.


    "Ah! Aunty, you''re wrong. It was Jun that took care of me over there, so I owe her a lot." FangSu said as she smiled brightly.


    While they were chatting, Bai Jun came down the stairs, looking morous in her dress. From her looks, you can tell that she had a great sense of style.


    "Wow! Bai Jun you decide to wear your dress." FangSu said as she watched Bai Jun in amazement.


    "I had to wear it since Brother Hua has a high taste in fashion sense. I can''t go to his house for the first time, looking shabby." Bai Jun said with a smile.


    "Did Jun design this dress?" Bai Fen asked a little surprised.


    "Yes, Aunty. Jun is so good, she has 2 awards already for her hard work." FangSu said as she added apliment.


    "I know about the awards but this dress is too beautiful to wear on a day like this." Bai Fen said with creased brows.


    "SuSu, don''t mind my mother. She likes to exaggerate things, let''s leave quickly." Bai Jun said as a joke as she locked arms with FangSu but she was right because Bai Fen was good at exaggerating things.


    "Aunty, we have to leave now. I will bring Bai Jun back soon." FangSu said to Bai Fen with a smile.


    "Take your time. Send my regards to your brother." Bai Fen said as she waved at them happily.


    The two youngdies waved back and left the house.


    Bai Jun is a fashion designer and she had 2 awards after working abroad for 2 years. She has one major award ????which was a neer award and a minor one, which didn''t hold much meaning, so this means that she has 2 years of working experience.


    In the car, Bai Jun lowered her voice and asked in a worried tone, "It''s still working hours, are you sure we will meet your brother at home?"


    Bai Jun was worried that her efforts on her looks would be in vain if Fu Hua was not at home when they got there. Her looks today were to create an impression on Fu Hua.


    "It doesn''t matter if he is around by the time we get there because he will stille home. I am more interested in meeting that woman he kept at home." FangSu revealed as a wicked smile appeared on her face.


    Her main reason for going to visit Fu Hua was not for him but because of Jia Li. She wanted to deal with her a little bit before her brother returned from work.


    Bai Jun was surprised and asked, "Are you sure your brother will not be angry if you bully her?"


    "Do I look like I care at the moment? Calm down, I don''t think she will dare to tell on me and besides, I''m not going to do anything harmful to her, I just want to have fun." FangSu said without a care.


    Bai Jun liked her courage. She was a little scared but she rxed when she remembered that she was not the one that would get scolded if anything happened in the end.


    When FangSu and Bai Jun''s car arrived outside the estate gate, the security at the gate refused to let them drive in, so FangSu had no choice but to call Fu Hua who was in a meeting.


    "Brother, I am right outside the estate''s gate but they wouldn''t let me in without your permission." FangSuined.

 Chapter 242 - The Way You Treat My Brothers Guest

    <h4>Chapter 242 - The Way You Treat My Brother''s Guest</h4>


    Fu Hua was surprised that she was already at his ce, nevertheless, he said to her, "I''m still at the office but I will be back soon. Your sister-inw is at home."


    After speaking with her, Fu Hua granted permission to let her in, without knowing she didn''te alone.


    Jia Li was sitting on the couch in the living room with Ocean plopping on the floor beside her. Ocean didn''t have her eyes on the TV like Jia Li but was busy looking all around quietly.


    Jia Li and Ocean heard the approaching footsteps that sounded more like female heel shoes ???? they turned their gazes over towards the direction of the entrance.


    Ocean didn''t immediately start barking, instead she waited till she saw FangSu and Bai Jun before barking and that shit scared the hell out of the two youngdies.


    FangSu and Bai Jun had just stepped into the house with a look of admiration for the interior decors and had managed to step foot into the living room when they heard the loud barking from Ocean.


    They were stopped in their tracks as their smiles disappeared and were reced with a scared look..


    Jia Li was surprised to see them and it took her a few seconds to react. She got Ocean to calm down and Ocean stopped barking but she was staring at FangSu and Bai Jun in high alert.


    FangSu and Bai Jun slowly calmed their racing hearts down, as they didn''t expect to see a dog in the living room.


    "I''m sorry Ocean scared you." Jia Li immediately apologized as she got up from the sofa with an apologetic gaze on FangSu and Bai Jun.


    FangSu was the first to react. She nced at Jia Li angrily and rebuked her in a stern tone, "Were you trying to scare us to death? And how can you bring a dog into the living room, where are your manners?!"


    Jia Li was taken aback by her output of anger. She had already apologized and there was no need for her to be so rude. But this act of hers confirmed Jia Li''s doubts that FangSu didn''t like her in any way. This was far beyond the jealousy Fu Hua thought it was.


    Right, when FangSu was berating Jia Li, Ocean started barking at her and attempted rushing towards her but Jia Li was alert and immediately called for her to stop.


    FangSu and Bai Jun thought Ocean was almost going to rush to their side and immediately screamed in shock.


    The Housekeeper and a few of the servants heard themotion in the living room and immediately rushed out in fright.


    They saw the unfamiliar female guests staring wide-eyed at Ocean, who seemed to have a ferocious gaze at them and their Mistress who trying to calm Ocean down while rubbing his back soothingly.


    "Madam, what happened?" The housekeeper asked from the side with a worried gaze. She didn''t dare to approach her in a close range for fear that Ocean might attack her since she seemed to be riled up.


    "It''s nothing." Jia Li replied.


    "What do you mean by nothing? Are you waiting for your dog to attack us before you send it away?!" FangSu asked angrily.


    Jia Li nced at her before moving her gaze to the other female who was staring at her with an unfriendly gaze and just then, heavy footsteps were heard and the two soldiers who saw when FangSu and Bai Jun walked in, entered the living room.


    "Ma''am, did something happen?" One of them asked with a calm gaze.


    "Nothing. Take Ocean back to her kennel." Jia Li said after giving one finalst rub to Ocean before the soldier came to take her.


    Ocean was reluctant to leave but she had to follow Jia Li''s orders. But when she got to where FangSu and Bai Jun were standing, she barked at them and the two youngdies screamed and shifted away in fear.


    "Jia Li or whatever your name is? Is this the way you treat my brother''s guests?" FangSu asked as she dragged Bai Jun with her and walked towards Jia Li.


    "I''m sorry about that." Jia Li apologized again. She was feeling disheartened by FangSu''s rude behavior. She could feel the discontentment in her tone.


    FangSu red at her before taking Bai Jun''s hand to sit on the sofa at the other side.


    "Madam..." The housekeeper called out to Jia Li worriedly. She couldn''t believe that someone had the guts to be rude to their mistress in her house.


    "It''s okay, she is Fu Hua''s sister. Serve them some snacks." Jia Li ordered before sitting tiredly as she pressed her temples. She could feel an iing headache.


    The housekeeper gave her a worried nce before leaving with the other servants that came out with her.


    Bai Jun sat beside FangSu and fixed a scrutinizing gaze on Jia Li. This was the first time she was taking a good look at her since she first stepped in.


    She was curious to know what kind of woman Fu Hua married and when her gaze came to Jia Li''s baby bump, she was fueled with jealousy and hatred.


    She cursed Jia Li in her mind for being intimate with Fu Hua and going on to be pregnant.


    Jia Li felt Bai Jun''s gaze on her and looked over. She didn''t know who she was for her to be staring at her with malice but she guessed she was FangSu''s friend.


    Jia Li wondered if Fu Hua knew his sister wasing to the house. She wanted to text him but she discovered her phone was not with her.


    The housekeeper came back with two other servants who were holding steel trays with different types of light dishes on them.


    The housekeeper stood at the side and watched the servants serve the dishes to FangSu and Bai Jun. When the servants were through, they left.


    "Sister-inw, please don''t mind the poor treatment. Eat something." Jia Li said to FangSu with a polite gaze because she was scared of offending her.


    FangSu was still angry with her and since she didn''t like her, it was normal for her not to forgive her.


    "I''m not interested in your food, I will look around first while waiting for my brother." FangSu said as she pulled Bai Jun to stand up with her.

 Chapter 243 - Fu Hua Comes Back

    <h4>Chapter 243 - Fu Hua Comes Back</h4>


    Without waiting for Jia Li''s permission or opinion, FangSu linked arms with Bai Jun and started touring the house.


    Jia Li was angry and felt disrespected by FangSu''s disregard for her presence and the fact that she was his brother''s wife.


    The housekeeper frowned upon FangSu''s action and immediately called out to Jia Li in a calm manner after she heard FangSu and Bai Junughing and chatting happily.


    "Madam?" The housekeeper called out in a low worried tone with her gaze on Jia Li.


    Jia Li did not respond, as she was trying to contain her anger while squeezing her fists that were on her thighs.


    Jia Li was very angry and thought about confronting FangSu but she couldn''t do that. She was Fu Hua''s sister, so she had to wait for Fu Hua toe back to deal with her.


    The housekeeper knew her Madam was not in a good mood, so she stopped calling for her and decided to take care of things herself, as it wouldn''t be right for the mistress to be disrespected in her house.


    FangSu and Bai Jun were chatting happily andughing as well.


    "SuSu, your brother''s house is beautiful and has a homey feel to it." Bai Jun said with a smile as her eyes shone brightly. In fact, she was happy with the way FangSu treated Jia Li and hailed her in her mind.


    "Anyone will like it, after all my brother has a good taste." FangSu said as she smiled proudly.


    The housekeeper was in time to see FangSu and Bai Jun about to use the stairs and immediately went ahead of them to block their paths.


    "I''m sorry Miss but you can''t go upstairs, please go back to your seats." The housekeeper said to them in a polite but firm tone.


    FangSu scoffed and asked while Bai Jun''s face turned annoyed with the sudden reaction from a servant, "Did she send you to order us around?"


    "Madam did not say anything to me, I am only doing my duties by not letting strangers walk around the house." The housekeeper said to them as she met their angry gazes. She was not fazed by the looks on their faces, as she was just doing her job.


    "Who do you think you are, a mere servant to order me around? Do you know who I am? I am the sister to your master!" FangSu said angrily as she made her identity known.


    The servant pretend she didn''t understand her words and insisted on them to return to the living room.


    "Miss, I am the housekeeper appointed by the old master to serve the young master and the young mistress. I don''t listen to anyone apart from them, so please return to the living room."


    FangSu was so mad that she wanted to scream at her but Bai Jun stooped her in time.


    "SuSu, let''s go back, it''s not right to create a scene. We can have a look another time."


    The housekeeper nced at Bai Jun for her shameless acts and looked away.


    Jia Li who was sitting on the sofa in the living room heard themotion from over there and tears dropped from her eyes and stained her cheeks.


    She felt that this was the worst treatment she could ever receive from anyone. She didn''t like the feeling of being treated like a nobody in her husband''s house but she couldn''t react either. Simply because the person who offended her was her husband''s sister.


    Jia Li felt her chest hurt. She brought her fingers to her face to wipe her tears and just then, she heard steady light footsteps approach the living room from the entrance.


    She guessed who it was but she didn''t turn around, as her emotions were in turmoil.


    Fu Hua walked into the living room with his work bag ???? and saw his wife sitting on the sofa with her gaze elsewhere.


    He could only see her side profile, so he didn''t know she has been crying. He thought she was lost in thought and didn''t hear his footsteps, so he went to her side and lowered her face to kiss her cheeks.


    "What are you thinking about?" He asked as he kissed her cheeks but his smiling gaze disappeared when he tasted the salty tears and her ignoring him.


    His gaze became worried as he immediately turned her face to nce at him. When he saw the tears brimming in her eyes and her tear-stained cheek, he felt something stab his chest.


    "Beautiful, why are you crying? What happened?" Fu Hua asked as he wiped her tears with the back of his hands with a worried gaze.


    Jia Li felt his manly scent assault her nostrils, so she tried to push him away but failed, so she left him and sniffed. She didn''t want to say a word to him or she would burst out in tears the next second.


    Before Fu Hua could go on to ask her more questions, he heard several steps approaching them and heard the familiar voice of his sister.


    "Brother, you are back?!" FangSu said out of excitement as she immediately hurried towards Fu Hua.


    Fu Hua slowly let go of Jia Li''s shoulder as he slowly looked up to see his sister, the housekeeper who had a straight look and then an unfamiliar young female.


    His brows furrowed in a deep frown, especially when he saw the unfamiliar female in his house. He guessed that FangSu brought her with her and asked with a frown, "Who is she?"


    Bai Jun who felt her cheeks redden when Fu Hua nced at her suddenly turned disappointed when she heard his question.


    "Brother, don''t tell me you don''t remember who she is?" FangSu asked in surprise.


    "I don''t care who she is, why would you bring a stranger into my house without my permission and where are the both of youing from just now?" Fu Hua asked as his gaze scared the two youngdies.


    Jia Li tried to get up from the sofa and Fu Hua tried to help her but she pushed his hands away and helped herself up then she turned to walk away without saying anything.


    "Jia Li..." Fu Hua called out to her but she didn''t react and continued walking away without looking back.


    Fu Hua was worried about her and asked the housekeeper to follow her.


    When Jia Li walked past FangSu and Bai Jun, they saw that her eyes were red and her cheeks were stained in tears and they could already smell trouble.


    "FangSu, why is Jia Li unhappy, what did you do to her?" Fu Hua asked in a fierce tone after the housekeeper took Jia Li away.

 Chapter 244 - Fu Hua Apologizes

    <h4>Chapter 244 - Fu Hua Apologizes</h4>


    "I didn''t do much, I only went a little out of line because she scared me with her dog. I mean, how could she bring a dog into the house?" FangSu said as she refused to meet her brother''s fierce gaze.


    She felt a little guilty but she still cursed Jia Li in her head, for acting all pitiful and she didn''t have any idea of what conspired before she stepped in.


    Fu Hua could not tolerate that non-repentant look on her face and said to her directly, "You came to my house with a stranger without telling me, then you make my wife cry in our house and you''re still acting like you''re right? FangSu leave right now and in the future, there is no need toe here."


    FangSu was shocked with the punishment Fu Hua just dished out to her. How could he ban her froming to his house just because Jia Li cried a little?


    "Brother, how can you treat me like this. This is so unfair!" FangSu cried out in an angry tone.


    Bai Jun was disappointed with the treatment they received. The fatal blow to her was that Fu Hua didn''t even recognize her and he didn''t bother to take a look at her.


    She felt that she had wasted her time bying here only to be treated that way by Fu Hua.


    "You should have thought about it before you brought a stranger to my house and bullied my wife. Leave before I call the security on you!" Fu Hua said to her angrily as green veins could be seen visible on his temples.


    He was very angry and didn''t want to see his sister anymore. He wondered what Jia Li must have passed through before he arrived.


    FangSu stood still as tears slowly dripped from her eyes. She was stubborn and refused to leave. She felt grieved by her brother''s treatment. He was mean even to her because of his wife and the more she thought about it, her hatred for Jia Li intensified.


    Bai Jun saw that Fu Hua''s face wasn''t looking good as he was getting impatient, so she pulled on FangSu''s arm and said in a low tone, "SuSu, let''s leave."


    FangSu was still reluctant to leave as she had an aggrieved gaze on her brother but Fu Hua did not look like he was going to soften his stance.


    Bai Jun did not wait for FangSu to react and immediately pulled her to leave before they would be further embarrassed.


    After they left his sight, Fu Hua picked up his phone and made a call. He instructed neither FangSu nor Bai Jun to be let into his house again without his permission.


    When he was done with the phone call, he went up the stairs to find Jia Li and he was in time to see the housekeeper shutting the door to their bedroom.


    "How is she?" Fu Hua asked in a low worried tone and his gaze was still cold.


    The housekeeper bowed and replied, "Madam is fine, she wants to be alone at the moment so she asked me to leave."


    Fu Hua nced at the door to their bedroom before ncing back at the housekeeper and asked, "What happened?"


    The housekeeper raised her head and exined word for word, what she heard and what she saw. And throughout the whole recounter process, Fu Hua''s gaze turned colder.


    "You can leave." Fu Hua said to her after listening and walked towards the door to their bedroom. He opened the door and walked inside.


    The housekeeper sighed and only left after Fu Hua walked into the room. The housekeeper felt sad for Jia Li as she was bullied in her own house but she also liked how her master handled the case after she heard from the servants about Fu Hua banning his sister and her friend froming over again.


    When Fu Hua walked in, he saw Jia Li sitting up on the bed. She has stopped crying and wiped her tears but her eyes were still red and her eyes looked slightly swollen and maybe that''s because she cried for a while.


    Fu Hua approached her side and sat beside her before gently taking her hand in his. Jia Li did not refuse him but she refused to look at him either.


    "I heard from the housekeeper on how FangSu disrespected you, I''m sorry about that. I had no idea she would being today until she got to the gate because my permission was needed to let her in. She also didn''t tell me she wasing with someone. I''m sorry you were bullied by them." Fu Hua said in a low gentle tone.


    Jia Li still didn''t say anything, so Fu Hua added, "You don''t have to worry about seeing her again because I banned her froming over."


    It was at this point that Jia Li nced at him for the first time since he stepped in. She was surprised but because of the sadness still visible on her face, Fu Hua couldn''t tell she was surprised.


    Fu Hua thought that his apology and exnation worked, so he caressed her face before leaning in to kiss her forehead.


    "I''m sorry for what you''ve been through today, it''s all my fault. I''m going to freshen up, give me a few minutes." Fu Hua said before standing to his feet with a slight smile.


    Jia Li who was now feeling slightly better, watched as his back disappeared into the inner room.


    Truly, Jia Li felt hurt and disrespected by FangSu''s actions and rude behavior and she had no idea how her emotions got the better of her.


    Jia Li heard a notification sound from her phone and turned to nce at the nightstand and saw her phone screen lit up. She stretched her hand to pick it up.


    ncing at her phone screen, she saw an SMS from Fu Hua. She opened the message and saw a short message, telling her his sister was at the gate and he would be home in less than 30 minutes.


    Jia Li had no idea he sent her a text as she was not bothered whether he informed her of his sister''s visit or not but she felt warmed up with his actions and no longer med him.

 Chapter 245 - Grandfather Fu Punishes FangSu

    <h4>Chapter 245 - Grandfather Fu Punishes FangSu</h4>


    Throughout their journey back home, FangSu cried while Bai Jun consoled. When they arrived at the Bai residence, Bai Jun hugged FangSu before getting of the car.


    FangSu managed to control her emotions and wave a goodbye to Bai Jun and there was no way she would have gone in to greet Bai Fen because she looked horrible.


    After dropping off Bai Jun, FangSu left for the Fu residence.


    It was after FangSu left that Bai Jun revealed her true emotions. When saw her mother she started crying.


    Bai Fen was rmed and immediately went to hug her daughter and brought her into her bedroom before anyone sees her crying and got curious.


    "Bai Jun, why are you crying? What happened? Did anyone bully you?" Bai Fen asked series of questions after they both sat on the bed.


    Bai Jun did not say anything until she had cried to her heart''s content, and only then did she speak..


    "Mum, can you believe that brother Fu Hua did not recognize me?"


    Bai Fen frowned asked, "Is that the reason you''re crying? It''s normal if he doesn''t recognize you as he hasn''t seen you in a long time. There is no need to cry about it."


    "Mum, that''s not all!" Bai Jun cried out and then went on to exin everything that happened.


    "... Brother Fu Hua sent FangSu and me, out of his house and banned us froming over. He didn''t bother to given me a proper look and treated me like a stranger."


    Bai Fen cursed Jia Li as she tried to stop her daughter from crying. She wanted to curse Fu Hua as well, for making her daughter cry but then she remembered that he was the one she wanted to marry her daughter to, so she held her tongue.


    Bai Jun felt that her looks and the effort she put in to dress up were in vain as Fu Hua did not acknowledge her presence and didn''t recognize her. This was a waste of effort.


    Bai Fen consoled her and told her they would find another solution to make her and Fu Hua get closer and only then did she calm down.


    As for FangSu, her eyes were already looking swollen when she walked into the house. And before she could walk towards her room, she met Butler Lu who came over with an instruction from the old man, he wanted to see her immediately.


    FangSu did not think too much about it and followed Butler Lu. She was even thinking of how she would pour out her grievances to her grandfather when she got to his study, so he could take revenge for her.


    As FangSu stepped inside the study and was about to start crying, she met her grandfather''s disappointed gaze and slowly swallowed her words.


    Without the time to beat around the bush, grandfather Fu let her remain to stand, while he went straight to the point.


    "I was told you went to visit your brother with the daughter of the Bai family and you were rude to your sister-inw. You just came back and you''re already causing trouble just like your mother. I will forgive you just one time because it''s your first offense but you cannot visit your brother again. Go back and reflect on your mistakes."


    FangSu was not given any chance to react as Butler Lu immediately showed her the door after Grandfather Fu finished speaking.


    FangSu did not feel sorry and instead felt more aggrieved because of the treatment she received from the old man, so she didn''t apologize.


    Her heart was full of fury as her old man did not indulge her. He looked disappointed and didn''t wait to hear from her side of the story before giving her a heavy punishment.


    To FangSu, that was a heavy punishment but she didn''t know that this was the lightest punishment her grandfather could give to her because he has doted on her for so many years. But he wouldn''t be so forgiving if there was a next time.


    "Do you think I went too easy on her?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    "Sir, your punishment was perfect. But the young miss wouldn''t think like that." Butler Lu replied.


    "I wanted to deal greatly with her because of her impulsive behavior but it still wouldn''t make her change. Maybe she wants to get to a state worse than her mother''s before she repents." Grandfather Fu said with a disappointed tone.


    He tried his best to bnce the rtionship in his family but it looks like it wasn''t working. He wasn''t tired of ying his role to keep his family united. But he wouldn''t tolerate anyone that dares to y tricks and go against the rules.


    Immediately FangSu got to her bedroom, she locked the door and started throwing things on the floor. She broke two of the expensive flower vase and broke her bedsidemp. She nearly tore the pillows on her bed.


    After she calmed down a little and was breathing heavily out of anger and frustration, Butler Lu came with a servant to her bedroom.


    They knocked and walked in. Butler Lu wasn''t surprised with the state of her bedroom. He didn''t say anything to her, as he opened the long ledger in his hand and went through it while ncing at the things she broke.


    FangSu had no idea of what he was doing but she was too tired to say anything to him, so she let him do whatever he wanted.


    After making some notes, Butler Lu handed the piece of paper to FangSu.


    "Miss Su, that''s your bill. ording to Sir''s order, you were given 50% off, on each item you destroyed and the money is to be taken off from your monthly allowance starting from next month. It will take 3 months to pay off your debtspletely."


    FangSu thought she just heard themest joke of the century as she listened to Butler Fu while ncing at the list in her hands.


    It was a list of the items she just destroyed with their original prices and the 50 percent off it was given.


    "Butler Lu is this some kind of joke or something?" FangSu asked with an annoyed gaze.


    Butler Lu nced at her and exined, "The old master was benevolent enough to give you a 50% discount for each item you damaged since you might have forgotten the rules, so he sent me here to remind you about it. If you don''t believe what I said, you can ask your mother, Madam Fu Hee and she will exin better."


    After saying that, Butler Lu bid her good night before leaving.


    He was surprised the old man didn''t hesitate to dish out punishment to FangSu after they both receive a report of her breaking things in her room.

 Chapter 246 - An Opportunity To Take Revenge

    <h4>Chapter 246 - An Opportunity To Take Revenge</h4>


    Fu Hee heard the news of her daughter''s misfortune from a servant that was kind enough toe and report to her and immediately left for FangSu''s bedroom in worry.


    By the time she got there, two servants were already cleaning up the mess in her bedroom while FangSu was sitting on the couch cross-legged with folded arms. She was clearly unhappy.


    Fu Hee went to her side and pulled her up before dragging her to her own bedroom. Then she locked the door before turning to see the indifferent look on FangSu''s face.


    "How could you get yourself in this mess after my reminder?" Fu Hee asked as she walked up to her.


    "Mum, I''m not in the mood to receive another scolding. If this is the reason you brought me to your bedroom, I''m leaving!" FangSu said as she tried to walk away but Fu Hee pulled her back.


    "What are you getting angry for? I should be the one angry because you didn''t listen to me. Do you know what you''ve lost because of your reckless actions? You''ve lost your grandfather''s trust and I heard he ordered a car for you but who knows if he would still give it to you after what you did."


    FangSu looked surprised as she asked, "Grandfather ordered a car for me?"


    Fu Hee sighed and replied, "That''s what I heard. He ordered a car for you and Fu Meixu."


    FangSu fell into deep thought. If her grandfather did ce a car order for her then it was likely he wouldn''t release the car gift to her since he was unhappy with her.


    She didn''t want to apologize to him because she felt wronged by his harsh treatment but she couldn''t lose the car gift as it was very important, so she was ready to bend her pride.


    "SuSu, if you still want your gift, you have to go and apologize to your grandfather. You were really impulsive by taking Bai Jun to visit your brother and you also treated Jia Li unfairly after all the reminders I gave to you." Fu Hee said to her with a frown.


    When she thought about what her daughter has lost due to her impulsive behavior, she still felt angry with her. If she had listened to her, she wouldn''t have fallen out of favor so soon.


    FangSu listened to her mother and went to find her grandfather but she was not allowed to see him with the excuse that he was attending a crucial meeting.


    FangSu left disappointed and went back to her mother''s bedroom toin.


    Fu Hee understood that it was either a tactic used by the old man because he didn''t want to see her or that it was actually true.


    Fu Hee consoled her and asked her to try againter. She also showed her ways she could show how remorseful she was, so the old man can release her car gift.


    It was a happy evening for Fu ChunHua with all themotion that was going on in the house. She couldn''t enjoy it alone and had to call her daughter toe home.


    "...this is the opportunity for you to take revenge on her because she is no longer in favor." Fu ChunHua said to Fu Meixu.


    Fu Meixu chuckled happily from the other side of the phone and said, "Mum, I''ll be in time for dinner. I can''t miss the opportunity of making fun of that proud peacock ???? this will indeed be a fun night."


    "Alright, I have to go and check on the dinner preparation. Come home on time." Fu ChunHua said before ending the call.


    Both mother and daughter were happy with the turn of events and this was their moment to shine.


    When Fu Hua came out from the inner room, he was already dressed infy clothes. He went straight to the bed and hugged his wife who''s face was now looking better.


    He apologized again and said to her, "Next time, don''t tolerate anyone being rude to you. You are not allowed to cry, you''re free to scold the person."


    Jia Li did not reply but she smiled within her. To show that she didn''t hold a grudge against him, she said she was hungry and proceeded to get off the bed.


    Fu Hua wanted to ask if it was just food she thinks about all day but he refrained from doing that as he didn''t want her to feel bad.


    He followed her down the stairs to get some food. The housekeeper sighed in relief when she saw the husband and wife were rxed and chatting with each other while having dinner.


    When Fu Meixu arrived at the residence, she immediately went to meet her grandfather with an expensive painting she bought for him.


    Butler Lu allowed her to get into the old man''s study to present her gift.


    "Grandfather, this is a little gift I got for you from the rmendation of my friend, I hope it''s to your taste." Fu Meixu said with a sweet smile.


    "Leave it there, I will check it out tomorrow morning. How was the filming?" Grandfather Fu asked without looking up at her.


    Fu Meixu beamed with smiles as this was the first time her grandfather showed care towards her in a long time, so she answered enthusiastically.


    "It went well and the crew members treated me well. We just wrapped up the filming with a party."


    After leaving her grandfather''s study, she went to meet with her mother and they both chatted andughed over the misfortune that had fallen upon Fu Hee and FangSu.


    "Meixu, you still have to be careful and continue to treat Jia Li well, remember, we can''t afford to go back to the state we were in before now." Fu ChuHua reminded her daughter.


    "I know mother, there is nothing to worry about. I''m starting to like Jia Li because she is calm and doesn''t like trouble, so I will continue to take care of her and besides, I''m already getting a lot of benefits from taking care of her already." Fu Meixu said andughed over it.


    Fu Meixu was not in a hurry to see FangSu who had locked up herself in her bedroom. Instead, she smiled and made her way to her bedroom, to make a call.


    When she thought about the person she was going to call, she smiled brightly and quickened her steps.

 Chapter 247 - A Face-off

    <h4>Chapter 247 - A Face-off</h4>


    The person Fu Meixu went to her bedroom to call was Shi Qiao. He was the same man that was always with Zhi Ruo.


    Fu Meixu''s trick to get close to him worked. Her trials easily worked on him because she found the right opportunity and coupled with the fact that he was easygoing with her.


    She learned from him that he was actually dating Zhi Ruo but thetter didn''t want their rtionship to be public yet because she was famous and she wasn''t ready for the media attention on her private life.


    Fu Meixu chuckled at that time and had said to him, "Although Sister Ruo is my senior and I shouldn''t say this about her, I still have to because it looks like you do not know some of the tricks in this kind of industry. It''s possible that Sister Zhi Ruo doesn''t like you and it''s only dating you at the moment while waiting for a better person toe her way, if not why would she be scared of the little media attention on her private life?"


    Her words sounded believable but Shi Qiao didn''t immediately believe her but a seed of doubt has already been sown in his heart.


    Fu Meixu immediately changed the topic and talked about another matter to lighten the mood. And before she came back, she spoke to him about visiting his family art gallery to pick a gift for her grandfather.


    "You are wee any time you like. Do you need my rmendation?" Shi Qian asked.


    "Yes, Please. Thank you." Fu Meixu replied happily and that was how she got to spend time with Shi Qiao that day, while he helped her to pick a painting he was sure grandfather Fu would like.


    After 3 rings, the call was answered.


    "Shi Qiao, sorry to disturb you at the moment." Fu Meixu said in a sweet voice.


    "No offense taken. Are you back to your ce now, have you given the gift to your grandfather, did he like it?" Shi Qiao asked with much enthusiasm in his tone.


    "Yes, I''ve given the painting to my grandfather but he is yet to open it. When he does that, I will tell you about it. And if he ends up liking the painting, I will take you out for dinner to say thanks." Fu Meixu said as a blush appeared on her face.


    "What if he ends up not liking it, what will happen to my lunch?" Shi Qiao asked with a peak of interest.


    "If that''s so, I will not consider our friendship and cancel the lunch." Fu Meixu said andughed after that.


    Shi Qiaoughed as well but both of them didn''t spend much time on the phone before ending their conversation.


    After the call, Fu Meixu sat up on her bed and said with a smiling gaze, "Zhi Ruo, you don''t know me yet. You just have to rx while I show your boyfriend what he has been missing from a potential girlfriend."


    When it was time for dinner, Fu Meixu tied her hair in a ponytail and checked herself out in the mirror beforeing out for dinner.


    She was the 3rd person to arrive at the dining room. She greeted her brother and YingPei happily before taking her seat.


    "Why are you smiling happily?" Fu Ling asked with his gaze on her.


    "Because I earned more money." Fu Meixu replied and he looked away.


    ''How can you ask that question? It''s obvious that she is up to something.'' YingPei thought to himself.


    Whenever he imagined the drama in the house, he always thought about moving to his ce but he knows the old man will not allow that unless he was married.


    Since after grandfather Fu''s ident, the old man doesn''t allow them to live separately because he used toin about how his family members were alert to run away from home. And now that he managed to bring them all together, he wouldn''t allow anyone to ruin his ns.


    Fu ChunHua arrived next with servants carrying different dishes behind her.? After the servants arranged the dishes ording to Fu ChunHua''s instructions, they left.


    Fu ChunHua had the kitchen prepare at least one favorite dish of each of the family members and showed the servants where to ce them.


    Not long after Fu ChunHua took her seat, Fu Hee arrived and took her seat. She didn''t bother to nce at anyone and vaguely returned the greetings that were said to her.


    Atst, grandfather Fu arrived and took his seat. When he nced around and did not see FangSu, he asked Fu Hee about her.


    "FangSu should still be in her bedroom." Fu Hee replied.


    "What is she doing there? Is she not seeing the time?" Grandfather Fu asked and Fu Hee remained quiet.


    Fu Meixu smiled and took that opportunity to speak up, "I was hoping to meet cousin and that is the reason I came back as I couldn''t meet up with her wee party due to my busy schedule. But it''s too bad she can''t make it for dinner."


    Fu Hee nced at Fu Meixu with a sharp gaze and grandfather Fu saw it and red up.


    "Fu Hee, send someone to get FangSu toe down for dinner. She can''t refuse eating."


    Fu Hee immediately sent a servant to call FangSu over and in a few minutes, FangSu appeared with a dull facial expression. She apologized to Grandfather Fu for keeping him waiting before going to take her seat at his left side.


    "Cousin, wee back home. I''m sorry I couldn''t make it to your wee party, I was quite busy at that time." Fu Meixu said with a smiling gaze on FangSu.


    It was her voice that made FangSu notice her presence. Immediately FangSu saw her, she frowned.


    "It doesn''t make any difference if you were present or not. What matters is that I''m back for good." FangSu said, immediately attacking her with words.


    Fu Meixu didn''t back down and immediately fired back some painful words.


    "It will be a relief if you really kept to your words of being back for good because I learned you''ve already started stirring up trouble." Fu Meixu said with a taunting gaze.


    "Meixu..." Fu ChunHua called out to her daughter. She was happy with her statement but was only pretending to call her to order.


    FangSu and Fu Hee were seething with rage. They were already trying on how to get the old man to forget about what happened but Meixu was keen on bringing up the past.


    Being reminded of FangSu''s action earlier that day, Grandfather Fu frowned and ordered everyone to start eating.

 Chapter 248 - The Content Of Her Text

    <h4>Chapter 248 - The Content Of Her Text</h4>


    After dinner, FangSu followed her grandfather and apologized along the way. She promised to turn over a new leaf and asked for a second chance.


    "What do you need a second chance for? You want an opportunity to go back to your brother''s house to cause trouble?" Grandfather Fu asked with a frown.


    The expression on FangSu''s face froze, as she wasn''t expecting her old man to misunderstand her and this was the kind that could get her into more trouble. She immediately rified the issue and only seeks only for his forgiveness for her wrongdoing.


    Grandfather Fu nced at her and walked away without saying anything.


    FangSu was angry at being ignored but there was nothing she could do. Right when she was about to leave for her bedroom, she heard Fu Meixu''s taunting voice from behind.


    "It just took you 3 days to fall out of favor after returning and being weed in a grand style, you''re really something you know." Fu Meixu with a smile she couldn''t even hide, much to FangSu''s displeasure..


    "You better watch your mouth, I''m still of more value than your little dumb ass." FangSu said to her in anger.


    "My little dumb ass?" Fu Meixu asked with a smile and she turned around and caressed her butt before fixing her gaze on her.


    FangSu was annoyed with her and was about to scold her when she heard her say, "Your over-confidence will take you down one day."


    Fu Meixu left after saying that. FangSu was fuming mad by the time she got to her bedroom. This should be the first time Fu Meixu was actually winning her with words and she found it very annoying.


    After breakfast and before YingPei left for work, FangSu handed over the present she got for Fu Hua.


    "Brother, please help me give this over to big brother." FangSu said to YingPei.


    "If you want to give him something, why don''t you do it yourself? Why are you sending me?" Fu YingPei asked with a frown.


    FangSu replied with a t look, "I offended big brother the other day and he banned me from visiting, so I have to trouble you to apologize on my behalf."


    Fu YingPei didn''t know the crime his little sistermitted but he agreed to apologize on her behalf and left with the gift.


    Fu Meixu learned from Butler Lu that her grandfather liked her painting after she asked about it. She was ted and immediately went to her bedroom to text Shi Qiao.


    The content of her text, read... ''My grandfather liked the painting, thanks to your guidance. I will repay you soon.''


    Shi Qiao returned her text with... ''I''m d he liked it. I''ll be waiting for our lunch date, take care.''


    Fu Meixu smiled after she got his response. A thought crossed her mind, so she decided to Jia Li.


    "Jia Li how are you doing?" Fu Meixu asked over the phone.


    Jia Li, who was taking the stairs down to the living room, replied, "I''m fine and you? Have you wrapped up with filming?"


    "Yes. I wanted to ask if I cane over to your ce to at least keep youpany before my cousin returns?" Fu Meixu asked.


    "I don''t think it would work as I''m about to leave for Ocean''s appointment with the vet." Jia Li replied. She didn''t know the reason Fu Meixu wanted toe over but she didn''t think anything wrong about it because she has always maintained a simple rtionship with her. But it''s toote as she was already dressed and ready to leave the house with Ocean.


    "Is Ocean sick or something?" Fu Meixu inquired.


    "Not really." Jia Li replied.


    "Okay, send me the address, I will meet you and Ocean there. When you''re through there, we can have lunch outside." Fu Meixu said with a smile.


    "Okay, thank you!" Jia Li said. A smile lingered on her face as she went outside to find Ocean. She was happy because she gets to escape having the fixed lunch on the timetable.


    Jia Li left the house with Ocean, one of her closest servant that has been serving her since the first time she came to stay with the Fu family and then two of the soldiers.


    Ocean got to sit in the same car with Jia Li and she rxed on Jia Li''s thighs while she rubbed her happily.


    After the call with Jia Li, Fu Meixu went to get dressed before leaving the house.


    FangSu saw Fu Meixu leaving the house and got jealous. She too wanted to visit some ces but her mother did not allow her.


    Fu Hee asked her not to leave the house to put in more effort with trying to win over the old man''s favor again. And another reason was that her father wasing backter that day, so she couldn''t leave no matter what.


    FangSu felt terrible about staying at home as she wasn''t used to it. She has always been used to her busy schedule as a model and sometimes when she got free time, she used it to shop or go to the beach to rx, so she wasn''t happy with being asked to stay home.


    FangSu tried to please her old man but she was eventually sent out of his study for disturbing his peace.


    FangSu grudgingly went back to her bedroom to wallow in her sorrows. She never knew her grandfather was this difficult to please.


    When Jia Li got to the vet house, a nurse took ocean inside theb to conduct a test.


    Jia Li sat on the padded seat???? especially arranged for her and waited impatiently for Ocean to be brought back to her.


    Fu Meixu arrived some minutester and sat on the bench which was beside the ce Jia Li was sitting. She was surprised to see that Jia Li''s baby bump had grown more since thest time she saw it, which was about 2 months ago.


    "How long gone are you?" Fu Meixu asked with a smile.


    "6 months." Jia Li replied with a loving gaze. She felt proud anytime she was being reminded of the little life she is carrying inside of her.


    "That''s good. Very soon, I will be able to show off my little nephew or niece. What about Ocean, what did the doctor say?" Fu Meixu asked with an inquisitive gaze.


    She was still very much scared of Ocean but she wanted to show that she cared.

 Chapter 249 - Oceans Pregnancy

    <h4>Chapter 249 - Ocean''s Pregnancy</h4>


    It''s been over 5 minutes since Jia Li and Fu Meixu left the vet store. Jia Li had an excited smile on her face, and it infected Fu Meixu


    "Congrattions, you and your dog deserve an award." Fu Meixu said to her.


    The vet announced to Jia Li some minutes ago about Ocean''s pregnancy, and since then, Jia Li couldn''t stop smiling. She was so happy that she immediately hugged Ocean before going on to call Fu Hua to announce the good news to him.


    Fu Hua was not as enthusiastic about the news like she was, nevertheless, he still congratted her.


    Currently, Jia Li, Fu Meixu, and Ocean were sitting in the back seat of the car. Ocean was sitting close to the door with Jia Li sitting in between her and Fu Meixu, so thetter didn''t have to worry about being attacked by the dog, but she still didn''t dare to rx, as she was high on alert.


    "Thank you! I''m going to pay for our meals, I am proud of Ocean and I have to spoil her today." Jia Li said excitedly.


    "There is no need for the trouble, I will pay the bills since I already made reservations, and Ocean can be well taken care of there." Fu Meixu said as she insisted on paying for the bills.


    When they got to the high-end restaurant Fu Meixu reserved for them, Jia Li did not have to worry about being recognized, since their table was at an inconspicuous part of the restaurant.


    Jia Li and Fu Meixu ced their order and chatted while waiting for their food to arrive.


    "I heard what FangSu did to you, don''t pay any attention to her, she had always been the princess of the Fu family, and she is already used to acting all high and mighty. Well, it''s a good thing grandfather broke one of her wings yesterday." Fu Meixu said as she chuckled in ady-like manner.


    Jia Li looked surprised as she probed, "Grandfather punished her?."


    "Of course, he did. I''m not surprised Grandfather knew about this matter, because he has ears and eyes on the people he cares about, and you are the first on the list." Fu Meixu said with a smile.


    Jia Li smiled as her shoulders rxed. The two had to change the topic when their order arrived. They chatted about every other thing that was interesting.


    Fu Meixu was the one doing most of the taking, as Jia Li was on the quiet side. She only talked when Fu Meixu asked her questions or her opinion on a certain matter.


    After having lunch, Fu Meixu left in a cab, while Jia Li took Ocean shopping and bought a lot of essential items for her.


    When they got home, she asked the kitchen to prepare a special soup for Ocean, plus other dishes that will be beneficial to her.


    Jia Li was really spoiling Ocean with food. Fu Hua was speechless when he came back and saw the two of them sitting on the rug. Jia Li read from a children''s storybook, while Ocean listened with his gaze on her.


    When Fu Hua stepped in, none of them weed him, as they were too engrossed with their storybook.


    Fu Hua''s brows creased in a frown as he made his way towards the one pregnant human and one pregnant animal. His steps were steady as he approached them.


    Ocean nced at him, and fixed his back on the storybook in Jia Li''s hands, without barking.


    When Jia Li heard the footsteps, she paused with her reading and turned her gaze to see Fu Hua standing behind her.


    "You''re back?." Jia Li said as she smiled happily. She closed the storybook and tried to get up, but she couldn''t lift herself, so she decided to get on her knees first, before trying to get up again.


    Fu Hua couldn''t continue to watch her while she struggled to get up, so he put his hands under her arms and lifted her.


    "Thank you!." Jia Li said after she turned to gaze at him affectionately.


    "Why are you sitting on the floor?." Fu Hua asked with a frown.


    "I was reading a storybook to ocean." Jia Li replied with a smile. She wasn''t bothered by her husband''s little unhappiness.


    Fu Hua couldn''t scold her, as she was still very excited after learning about Ocean''s pregnancy. He could only pat her head while saying in a gentle tone, "The floor is cold, and it''s difficult for you to get up, so don''t bother sitting there again."


    "Okay, I will listen to you." Jia Li said happily. Since she was in a good mood and knowing fully well that he always has her best interest at heart, she decided not to argue with him.


    Two weekster as the weather was starting to warm up a little, Grandfather Fu released the car gifts to FangSu and Fu Meixu, who were so excited and couldn''t wait to show it off to their friends.


    They both had the same female sports car brand, but different colors.


    It was on this day that both decided to go out to have fun, in other to celebrate their car gift.


    Fu Meixu fixed a lunch date with Shi Qiao to thank him for the right suggestion on the painting she gifted to her old man.


    FangSu went on a shopping spree after she called Bai Jun out. FangSu didn''t have much money with her, so her mother transferred all the money in her ount to her.


    When Bai Jun saw FangSu''s Ferrari, she was jealous of her. She didn''t understand how she managed to get such an expensive gift from her grandfather after he punished her several days ago.


    During the time FangSu received punishment from Grandfather Fu, she told Bai Jun about it, and at that time, Bai Jun pitied her but didn''t forget to push the me to Jia Li.


    So now that FangSu was given such an expensive gift while she didn''t have any, she was jealous.


    FangSu was ignorant of Bai Jun''s jealousy and took her to shop for a lot of expensive clothing. After that, they went to the spa to get VIP treatment, before going to a restaurant to have some food.

 Chapter 250 - Baby Girl

    <h4>Chapter 250 - Baby Girl</h4>


    Bai Jun didn''t pay a dime as the whole bills were settled by FangSu who didn''t mind.


    After eating, they both were so full and tired, so they had to sit in the restaurant for a while, and they chatted over a drink.


    "When do you n to start looking for a job?." Bai Jun asked as she sipped her juice.


    "I''m not ready to get to work, it''s just been 3 weeks since we came back. I n to rest for about 8 - 10 more weeks before I go back to modeling." FangSu replied, before asking about her ns.


    "I n to take a long rest just like you because once I start working, there will be no chance to take a break." Bai Jun replied with a smile.


    "You''re so good with your job, and I bet once you''re ready to go back to work, you will be getting lots of proposals.. Have you thought about thepany you want to join?." FangSu asked with a curious gaze.


    "I''m still considering it." Bai Jun gave a vague response. She has long discussed and nned everything with her mother, so she was just ying games with FangSu.


    On the day that Bai Jun learned about Jia Li''s little fame on her school project, and the connection she had with FJ Styles, she was very unhappy.


    Her mother noticed her unhappiness and asked about it. After learning the reason for her unhappiness, she calmed her down, saying...


    "When you''re ready to get back to work, join FJ Styles, and you don''t have to worry about that woman, because she can''t join FJ yet, since she is heavily pregnant, and there is no way FJ or any otherpany will ept her, no matter the talents she has. So you can join FJ before her, and go there to be her senior, because, she will still manage to get into FJ."


    Bai Jun thought hard about her mother''s words and found that they made a lot of sense. She knew there was no way Jia Li wouldn''t get into FJ Styles, but before then, she would have to join FJ to establish a foothold before her.


    Bai Jun calmed down a lot when she thought heard about this matter. She wished there was a way for Jia Li not to join FJ, but that wish wouldn''te true.


    Hearing that she was still considering it, FangSu frowned and said, "What are you still considering? You are so talented and this is an opportunity for you to get into FJ to show your talents, and also get close to my brother."


    Bai Jun smiled inwardly when FangSu said the words she has been waiting to hear. She pretended to be a little afraid and asked in a worried tone, "Do you think that''s a good idea? I don''t think this is right."


    "Bai Jun, you have to open your eyes and see things clearly. An opportunity is right before you but you want to throw it away because you are worried? This is an opportunity to get close to my brother unless you don''t like him again." FangSu said with a frown while pretending to be angry with her.


    "It''s not like that, I still like Brother Hua." Bai Jun confessed in a soft tone while blushing.


    FangSu smiled brightly and held unto her hands. "That''s what I wanted to hear. There is no need to consider anything, when the timees, you have to apply to FJ, and I''m sure you will get in."


    "If you say so..." Bai Jun replied with a fake look of worry.


    "Come on, drink up. There is nothing to be afraid of." FangSu said with a smile as she clinked sses with her.


    "How is your rtionship with brother Hua?." Bai Jun probed. She was curious to know if they two had reconciled.


    FangSu frowned as she replied, "He still hasn''t forgiven me. He rejected my gift and doesn''t ept my call or reply to my texts."


    "If their rtionship is still bad, how will she help me?'' Bai Jun thought.


    It was as if FangSu could tell her worries, because the next moment, she said to her, "Don''t worry too much about me. If I can''t get my brother to forgive me, I will deal with that woman to vent my anger."


    Bai Jun sipped her juice and didn''t say anything. She was quite happy with people clearing the path for her.


    A month and 2 weekster, Jia Li was now 8 months pregnant. She and Fu Hua has been deliberating if they wanted to know their baby''s sex, and atst, they fixed an appointment with her doctor to find out their baby''s gender.


    Atst, Jia Li and Fu Hua were very happy to find out they were going to have a girl. Fu Hua was happier because he read from the Inte that baby girls were closer to their fathers than to their mothers, and since then, he has subconsciously wished they would have a girl.


    Poor Jia Li, she had no idea her dearest husband who didn''t seem to mind whatever gender they were having, secretly had those thoughts.


    After announcing their baby''s gender to them, the doctor proceeded to reprimand them, and give them some instructions to follow.


    She said Jia Li was having too much sexual intercourse and suggested to them to get separate bedrooms as a means to curb and limit the number of times they had s*x, so as not to cause harm to her and the fetus.


    Jia Li''s face was red like strawberries ???? and she couldn''t face or respond to the doctor, only Fu Hua did. There was nothing to be ashamed of to him, as he had thick skin. But he was somewhat afraid of Jia Li''s reaction when they left the doctor''s office, as he was sure of how shy she was already.


    True to his expectation, Jia Li who was embarrassed and annoyed with him, snubbed him to their car. She refused to say a word to him, and she refused his touches.


    Fu Hua was expecting this, but he didn''t like the fact that she was ignoring him He even tried to lure her with food, but she didn''t fall for it.


    When he mentioned going to shop for their baby girl''s clothes, she still wasn''t moved.


    "I''m tired, please take me home, and I have other important matters to handle." Jia Li said.


    The other important matter she talked about, was moving to a new room, and of course, Fu Hua did not understand till they got home.

 Chapter 251 - Ocean Gives Birth

    <h4>Chapter 251 - Ocean Gives Birth</h4>


    When they got home, Jia Li asked for her things to be moved to the room next to his and Fu Hua couldn''t stop her.


    Jia Li was more embarrassed than angry at Fu Hua because most nights, he would make love to her more than once. And it seemed like his appetite was too big, so the Doctor''s advice was an opportunity for her to escape.


    Finally, when most of her things had been moved to her new bedroom, Jia Li rxed on the bed with a triumphant smile on her face.


    Later that night after dinner, Fu Hua followed Jia Li to the door of her bedroom. Jia Li stood in front of her bedroom and refused to let him in.


    She posed with her big baby bump while looking him in the eye with a hand on her waist.


    Fu Hua found her pose funny but that wasn''t what he came for.


    "Beautiful, just let me in for a few minutes, I just want to read stories to our baby.." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li remained unmoving as she said, "There is no need, she is sleeping."


    "How do you know that?" Fu Hua asked with a frown. He didn''t understand the reason she kept bringing up excuses just to stop him from entering her bedroom.


    "The baby is here and not in there, so you wouldn''t know." Jia Li said while pointing at her protruding belly and his t hard belly.


    After saying that, she leaned in to kiss his cheeks with a smile and said goodbye to him before entering her room and shutting the door behind her.


    Fu Hua did not follow her. He stood outside her door for a few seconds with his hands in his pockets before turning to leave for his bedroom.


    Getting back to his bedroom, heid on the bed and was restless. He missed hugging his wife''s soft figure and now his arms were empty. He knew he won''t be able to sleep properly.


    Fu Hua heaved a sigh and covered his eyes with the back of his palms and groaned Jia Li''s name.


    Jia Li was unaware of his frustrations as she was busy admiring the queen-sized bed that belonged to her. She was happy to have the bed to herself.


    There was a tinge of regret on her face, as she couldn''t roll on the bed to enjoy its feeling since she had a big baby bump she needed to be careful with.


    Having a room to herself has been something Jia Li has been looking forward to and now she finally got it, she didn''t n on giving it up so easily.


    Jia Liid on the bed with a happy smile before caressing her abdomen. There was no reaction from the baby, so she knew she was truly sleeping. Jia Li smiled and closed her eyes to sleep.


    Two dayster, Ocean gave birth to two puppies which were identified as A male and A female. Jia Li was so overjoyed that she ordered the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal for Ocean.


    When Jia Li came to see Ocean in her well-furnished kennel, Ocean was seen resting on her sides tiredly, but her little puppies were nowhere to be seen, as the caregiver had gone to clean them all up.


    Jia Li was all smiles as she sat on a stool and praised Ocean for her bravery. She rubbed Ocean''s stomach and kept saying words of endearment.


    At a time, Ocean got to her feet and moved closer to Jia Li before gently nudging her baby bump.


    Jia Li caressed her hair with a smile and she understood her meaning. "My baby will be out soon."


    Ocean gave a low bark before sitting at Jia Li''s feet as Jia Li continued to caress her body.


    "I got pregnant before you yet you gave birth before me, what an irony." Jia Li said with a smile.


    Jia Li spent a lot of time outside that Fu Hua had toe out to look for her since she didn''t listen to the servant who came to call her for lunch.


    Fu Hua had his hands in his pockets as he strode over to her side. Ocean saw him but didn''t even bark as she looked away.


    "How long do you n on staying out here? Your dinner will turn cold." Fu reminded with a frown.


    Fu Hua wasn''t too worried as this was still spring, so the weather was warm unlike the Winter ?? they just got over.


    "I''m not hungry. I''m too happy to eat." Jia Li said with her smiling gaze on Ocean. She didn''t bother to spare her husband a nce as Ocean was more important to her.


    Just then, the caregiver came over to the two puppies and immediately, Ocean seemed to regain her strength as she started barking.


    Before the caregiver could put down the young puppies beside their mother, Jia Li stretched her arms towards the caregiver, so right now Jia Li and Ocean both wanted the puppies.


    Fu Hua couldn''t watch her childish act anymore and turned his gaze away. He never knew how obsessed his innocent wife was with dogs until he married her. Even his old man didn''t remind him about it.


    The caregiver nced between Jia Li and Ocean as he thought of who to pass the puppies to.


    "Give them here." Jia Li said with an expectant gaze. Ocean nced at her puppies before looking at Jia Li who was demanding for them.


    She barked at Jia Li to show her protest but Jia Li was very shameless and seemed to have forgotten the good old days with Ocean as she said, "Ocean, I need to carry them first, you can hold onter."


    Without wasting time, the caregiver passed the two puppies that were very calm to her. Jia Li was very gentle with the two young puppies that were brought into her arms She wanted to kiss them but her sitting position was not convenient and she was being careful since they were newborns.


    Ocean sniffed her puppies lovingly while Jia Li held them in her arms with an affectionate gaze. She found the puppies very cute and wouldn''t mind sharing a bed with them.

 Chapter 252 - I Will Sell Your Puppies

    <h4>Chapter 252 - I Will Sell Your Puppies</h4>


    "Are you now shameless as to snatch the puppies from their mother?" Fu asked as he gaze at her with a frown. He just couldn''t get what his wife was thinking about.


    "Ocean is understanding unlike someone else I know. Besides, it''s just for a little while. I''m not that heartless." Jia Li said with her gaze on the puppies. They were just too cute for her to let go.


    Fu Hua nced at the caregiver with a cold gaze that said, ''Take those puppies from her or you will be in trouble!''


    The caregiver got the hidden message and shivered a little. He was in a dilemma and didn''t know if Jia Li would be willing to let go of the young puppies. But he just has to try his luck if he didn''t want to be punished by the Iceberg.


    "Madam, it''s time for the puppies to eat they haven''t had any food yet.." The caregiver reminded Jia Li in a polite tone.


    "They haven''t had their milk yet?" Jia Li asked in surprise. Then when Fu Hua and the caregiver thought that Jia Li was going to let go of the puppies, they heard her say to their disappointment, "Just wait for a little while."


    Jia Li moved her gaze back to the little puppies that were sitting on her each side on her thighs. Her stomach was already so big, so they couldn''ty together and coupled with her sitting position.


    Fu Hua couldn''t tolerate it anymore. He has to threaten her since cajoling her wasn''t working.


    "I will sell your puppies if you don''t return them to their mother!" Fu Hua threatened from the side, as his gaze had turned cold.


    "What?! How can you be thinking of selling my babies? That''s unfair! I won''t let you." Jia Li said as he held unto the puppies in her arms with vignce.


    She couldn''t trust him, as she knew that he was much capable of doing the things he said.


    "Do you want to try?" Fu Hua asked with his hands in his pockets.


    Jia Li was speechless for a while before retorting, "I will report you to Grandfather."


    Fu Hu wasn''t moved by her threat. "What are you going to tell him? That I threatened to sell your puppies since you optioned starving his great-grandchild?!"


    Jia Li was speechless by his new threat. The old man would surely be unhappy if he learns that she skipped eating at this stage of her pregnancy because she wanted to apany her pets.


    As Jia Li was sitting there lost in thought, Fu Hua added and this time around, he did in a gentle tone. "You cane back to check on themter."


    Hearing him say that, Jia Li immediately let the caregiver take the cute puppies from her, before cing them beside Ocean, for them to get some milk.


    Fu Hua didn''t allow Jia Li to watch the puppies suck to get their food out, as he immediately held her hands and brought her away.


    "Guess what?" Fu Hua said as he pulled her to walk int to the house.


    "What?" Jia Li asked with a little confusion, as she didn''t know what he was getting at.


    "You will not touch any food until you''ve had a bath." Fu Hua revealed.


    "Why? Washing my hands is fine." Jia Li said with a frown.


    "It''s not fine by me, as my words are final. You are going to get cleaned up beforeing to the dining table. And see, you are pregnant, what if the puppies had germs and bacteria that could be passed unto you and the child?" Fu Hua asked as he led her up the stairs.


    Jia Li was tired of his nagging and was already getting irritated, so she conceited defeat.


    Fu Hua led her to her bedroom and then into her bathroom to have a shower. Jia Li saw he wanted to help her undress but she rejected his help.


    Fu Hua gazed into her pair of stubborn eyes and said to her with a tone that couldn''t be rejected, "You can''t say no."


    Jia Li stood like a statue as he undressed her after drawing a bath for her.


    Fu Hua helped her to get into the warm water bath and said to her, "Scrub every inch of your body well. I will be out to get your clothes ready for you." Fu Hua said before picking up her dirty clothes and left for her walk-in closet.


    Jia Li was surprised he didn''t try anything funny after seeing her naked. He didn''t even tease her and she began to question his willpower.


    ''Looks like he''s not in the mood.'' Jia Li thought as she picked up her shower gel tother her body before using the soft sponge ???? to scrub her body gently.


    Because of the sensitivity of her skin, she has to use a soft sponge.


    Fu Hua on the other hand put Jia Li''s dirty clothes in theundry basket before cleaning his hands with wipes he saw on her vanity mirror. Then he proceeded to pick out a new set of clothes and undies for her.


    When Jia Li finished bathing, Fu Hua returned on time to wipe the water off her body before wrapping her body with a big white towel and carefully led her to the bedroom to sit on the couch.


    Jia Li did not say a word to him and only let him do as he pleased.


    After settling herself on the couch, Fu Hua put some cream on his palms and rubbed them together. When she saw him approaching her, she asked with a profound gaze on him, "What are you doing?"


    "Getting you dressed up in time before your lunch turns cold." Fu Hua replied before reaching for her leg.


    He sat on the floor and put her leg on his thighs before proceeding to apply the cream on her right leg.


    Jia Li was ufortable with their sitting positions because she was sure Fu Hua could see in between her thighs, and that was embarrassing.


    Jia Li was ufortable and tried closing her legs together but Fu Hua pushed her left leg aside before ncing up at her.


    "What are you trying to hide? Is there any part of your body I haven''t seen or explored before?" Fu Hua asked with an expressionless gaze but deep inside, he was having fun watching his wife''s cheeks change shades of the red color.


    Jia Li was deeply embarrassed by his words. The worst part of it all is that he didn''t feel anything was wrong with their sitting position or his statement.

 Chapter 253 - What Youre Asking For

    <h4>Chapter 253 - What You''re Asking For</h4>


    Jia Li found out that she was the only one shy and thought it wasn''t fair, so an idea to tease him came to her mind.


    She slowly opened her legs wide enough for him to see her secret chamber and when their eyes met, she feigned ignorance.


    Fu Hua moved his gaze back to her legs and continued to tube more body cream on her leg. He didn''t know what she was up to but he definitely didn''t think she had a wrong motive for her actions, as he still hasn''t seen her in that light.


    Jia Li felt the need to continue with her games, so she loosened the towel that was wrapped around her body and this time around, her actions were caught by Fu Hua''s wandering gaze.


    Seeing her actions, it now dawned on Fu Hua that his wife was seducing him. He thought she wanted to get back at him, so he chose to ignore her.


    Jia Li saw he still wasn''t provoked with her actions, so sheined she was hot and separates the towel, now having her nude body on disy for him.


    Fu Hua nced at her with an expressionless gaze.. Jia Li could not fathom his thoughts, so she asked, "What are you looking at? I''m feeling hot."


    "Not as hot as I am." Fu Hua said as he immediately grabbed her legs and adjusted her sitting position then he pulled her butts a little out from the couch and leaned his face in between her legs before she could tell what was happening.


    When Jia Li felt his wet tongue lick her inner core, she shuddered out of excitement and screamed his name as she tried to push his head away but he didn''t bulge.


    Fu Hua didn''t n to show her any mercy as he has had enough of her. How dare she tease him with her body when she knew very well he couldn''t control himself?


    While helping her to take off her clothes, he made sure to take a good look at her body, even though his little brother had reacted but she was really asking for him to be touched.


    It''s been up to 4 days since hest touched her and he was already losing his mind with her seducing him and now, he had to teach her a lesson she would never forget.


    From screaming his name and pushing his head away out of shock, she didn''t know when she began to moan his name and weave her hair in-between his hair.


    The more she moaned his name in her seductive tone, the harder Fu Hua became and the faster he licked her.


    Fu Hua was feeling himself getting very hard but he continued to lick her and would at times, graze her clit with his teeth which did a lot more than exciting her.


    Fu Hua licked and sucked her hard to the extent that she was begging him.


    He didn''t have the time to ask if she was begging him to stop or continue, as he was more into her and didn''t want to let go.


    Jia Li was very much aroused right now and tried moving her butts on the couch but he didn''t give her any space to adjust. She could only continue to moan his name breathlessly while caressing his hair and his back.


    She was more like trying to push his head inside her because she was too excited sexually and this may be a sign that she wanted him inside of her but Fu Hua was not willing, at least not yet, until he was done teasing her.


    Fu Hua continued to suck her with his tongue as he enjoyed her juices flowing into his mouth, he swallowed it all and ate her with his tongue until his tongue became tired, so he switches over to his fingers.


    He inserted 2 of his fingers inside of her wet VJ and began to move in and out of her slowly. He only increased his pace when she begged her for it.


    Fu Hua continued to move in and out of her with his seductive gaze on her misty eyes. The next moment he leaned in to capture her lips, so she could get a taste of herself.


    Jia Li''s sense of reasoning was already knocked out because she had no idea the taste she was enjoying in his mouth belonged to her.


    She hungrily weed his tongue and kissed him wildely with her hands roaming over his chest.


    Fu Hua released her lips when he saw that she was a little out of breath. He trailed the kisses from her lips to her neck and down to her chest. He didn''t waste a single second as he immediately licked her left nipple before proceeding to suck it gently because it was sore, so he had to be more gentle.


    When Jia Li felt his 3rd finger enter her, she began to beg him to move faster, as she needed a release.


    "Do you know what you''re asking for?" Fu Hua asked with a hoarse voice.


    "Ah!... I know... please, I want you..." Jia Li cried out in pleasure. She didn''t even understand his question, all she wanted was for him to satisfy her sexual urge by entering inside of her, so she could feel better. She didn''t care to understand a word he said.


    "Are you sure!?" Fu Hua asked as he touched her clit with his thumb and kissed her right breast at the same time.


    Jia Li let out loud moans as she nodded her head. Like she was in the right senses to understand what he was saying.


    "Show me your sincerity, beg me again." Fu Hua demanded like he wasn''t also in high need. His little brother had begun to throb harder and painfully but he still had a lot of patience to deal with his naughty wife.


    Jia Li begged him as if her life depended on him being inside of her.


    "I''m only doing this because you begged me for it." Fu Hua said as he kissed her lips one more time before pulling out his fingers.


    Jia Li moaned softly, as she watched him remove his belt and unzip his pants. Then without removing his briefs, he pulled out his long and hard manhood that was already dripping with precum.


    Jia Li watched as the long thick thing stood erect. As she watched it, she felt like wrapping her fingers around it and sucking it.


    When Jia Li felt a little bit conscious, she wanted to p herself for thinking of such a weird thing. Although her friends had once mentioned it was a good way to please her man but she found it disgusting.

 Chapter 254 - My Body Belongs To You

    <h4>Chapter 254 - My Body Belongs To You</h4>


    After her friends had told her about it, she had gone on to check it out on the inte and she found it to be true.


    She found out that most men gained a deep sense of pleasure when their partners gave them a blowjob. Then while thinking if Fu Hua would like it when she went on to watch a video on how it was done.


    She was so embarrassed and hence couldn''t go on with watching the video. And now that she was seeing Fu Hua''s inviting member, she felt like touching it and putting it in her mouth.


    As her curiosity got the better of her, she stared hard at his manhood and her deep gaze called for Fu Hua''s attention.


    Fu Hua saw the way she was staring at his manhood and a smirk turned up on his lips as he moved closer to her.


    "Do you want to touch it?" Fu Hua asked. He rarely asked Jia Li to touch him when they were making love because he thought it was not her kind of thing.


    Now that she was asking, he was only teasing her and thought she was going to say no but her next response surprised him.


    Jia Li looked him in the eyes and asked, "Can I touch you?"


    Fu Hua was lost but only for a moment before he went on to permit what she wanted.


    "You can do what you want, my body belongs to you." Fu Hua replied.


    Being given a positive response, Jia Li gathered her morale and confidence before cing her hand inside his shirt to caress his rock-hard chest.


    Fu Hua took that as a sign that she wanted to explore him, so she went on to take off his shirt. Right now, his lower body was bare before her.


    Jia Li now had ess to caress his seductive body with her soft palms. Fu Hua shut his eyes as he enjoyed his wife''s tender hands roaming all over his upper body.


    He was beginning to breathe heavily while getting stimted down there.


    As his response encouraged her, Jia Li moved her fingers to his waistline to caress him there. Fu Hua let out a groan when she touched his manhood in a gentle touch.


    Fu Hua groaned as he immediately lifted his hands to caress her hair. He was seriously enjoying his wife''s soft hands, roaming all over his body in a gentle touch.


    Jia Li saw he was enjoying it and smiled satisfactorily. She nced at the thick manhood that was right before her face and looked back at him.


    On seeing that his eyes were still shut while breathing heavily due to pleasure, she decided to use that opportunity to take him inside her mouth.


    Fu Hua was really caught unaware by her actions. He was still calm when she gently wrapped her fingers around his shaft but when her wet tongue touched him, he shuddered and let out a groan.


    "What are you doing? Let go." Fu Hua said to the woman that was still busy licking the precum off him. She further seduced him by licking her tongue with a frown on her face, as this was the first time she was tasting him.


    Fu Hua''s manhood couldn''t help but twitch in her hands, as her hold on it was well-liked.


    "Jia Li, let go." Fu Hua managed to say breathlessly. He liked the sensation of her mouth on his manhood and would like for her to continue in order to fulfill his deepest fantasies but he wouldn''t like for her to do what she wasn''tfortable with.


    Jia Li did not listen to him. After getting the weird taste of his pre-cum, she thought it wasn''t bad and she tried not to think it was disgusting before she leaned in to start sucking him.


    Fu Hua shut his eyes and caressed her hair with his eyes closed after he sucked in a small amount of air. "Jia Li, be a good girl and let go okay? If you continue this way, I can''t promise you what I would do next."


    Jia Li could feel that he liked what she was doing but she couldn''t understand why he wanted her to stop but anyway, she wasn''t going to stop.


    She continued to lick him and imitated the way she remembered it from the video she watched but she knew what she was doing was far from the way they did it.


    Fu Hua was frustrated by her actions, as she was teasing him senselessly. If this wasn''t her first time, he would have thought she was taking revenge on him.


    She was very innocent in this aspect of satisfying him sexually but she didn''t want to let go.


    Fu Hua could only let her do what she wanted, while he got breathless the more and groaned while caressing her back and her hair.


    Jia Li was engrossed in sucking him before she remembered another movement. She began to move her mouth away and close in on him slowly.


    Fu Hua was worried she would choke and tried to stop her but her misty eyes and the way her throat moved up and down, got him distracted.


    He leaned and kissed her lips for a while before she broke the kiss and fixed her mouth back to his thick manhood that was starting to throb with pain.


    He needed a release and he knew if he allowed Jia Li to continue his veins might end up bursting open, so he had to force her to stop.


    Jia Li looked at him with a frown and asked, "Am I not getting it? You don''t like it?"


    "It''s more likely that you would drive me crazy before you satisfy me." Fu Hua said as he didn''t know whether tough or cry at the innocent look on her face.


    Jia Li felt a little down because she was sure she didn''t get it and she wasn''t surprised.


    Fu Hua didn''t want his little wife to be scarred as this was her first time giving a blow-job, so he encouraged her, as he also didn''t want her to ruin the good ambiance for a great s*x, as all their efforts would go down the drain.

 Chapter 255 - Do You Want It Again?

    <h4>Chapter 255 - Do You Want It Again?</h4>


    "Actually, this is my first time of getting a blow-job and I can tell you''re quite good at it. You did great." Fu Hua said as he leaned in to kiss her inviting lips.


    "Really? This is my first time too." Jia Li said with widened eyes. She found it hard to believe he didn''t do something like this with his ex-girlfriend.


    "I know. Don''t worry too much, we can learn together." Fu Hua said in a low dangerous tone before grabbing her hands and helping her to her feet.


    Jia Li was nude before him and he pulled her towards the bed, her breast bounced, so she had to hold them in ce.


    Immediately she sat on the foot of the bed, Fu Hua knelt before her and opened her legs with his hands..


    He smiled when he saw how she was dripping wet for him and he felt like giving her another lick. And knowing that she was no longer as aroused as before, he had to take another measure to bring her insanity back.


    He grabbed both of her legs andmanded her toy with her back on the bed. Jia Li thought he was about to enter andid back on the bed but when she felt his tongue inside of her again, she let out a yelp.


    She wasn''t allowed to think or ask questions because Fu Hua was not giving her a chance to do that because he was eating her up at the fastest speed possible.


    In no time, Jia Li was once again moaning his name as her hands went to his hair. She could feel a deep sense of pleasure from down there and when she tried touching her clits, Fu Hua licked her there and she screamed his name in pleasure and tried to bury his face inside of her.


    It was as if she wasn''t getting enough of him and wanted more, something more fierce and dangerous.


    Fu Hua moved his tongue in and out of her again before proceeding to use his three fingers to enter her. He was fast and precise with the movement of his fingers.


    As he pleasured her with his fingers, his manhood throbbed painfully as it was time to be inside of her.


    Without wasting time, Fu Hua pulled his fingers out of her and before Jia Li could beg him for more, he turned her to her side and got to his feet with a dark gaze on her, before slipping his manhood slowly right inside of her.


    Both of them let out gasps of pleasure when their s*x organs collided with each other.


    Fu Hua did not immediately begin to move inside of her instead, he teased her entrance a little with the tip of his manhood.


    Jia Li couldn''t stand his teasing anymore and was already begging him to enter her. She felt like she wouldn''t make it if he doesn''t enter her soon. She was only thinking this way because her senses has already been clouded with pleasure and she wanted to be relieved.


    "Are you begging me for s*x?" Fu Hua asked as he slipped inside of her and moved once before slipping out again.


    Jia Li couldn''t stand his torture with her raging emotions and immediately admitted that she was actually begging him for s*x.


    Fu Hua smiled satisfactorily as he rubbed her clit and said while he listened to her moan his name, "I will grant your wish."


    Fu Hua was actually in pain while he was torturing her, as he has been dying entering her for a long time now, so his manhood was throbbing but he was acting like he didn''t need the s*x he made her plead for.


    Right as he said that, he slipped inside of her and started moving in and out of her at a slow pace before proceeding to increase his speed.


    Both of them moaned when they both finally got what they wanted. They two enjoyed feeling each other deeply.


    As Fu Hua moved in and out of her with speed, Jia Li felt fire and passion ignite from inside of her and she moaned uncontrobly while touching herself.


    Fu Hua''s speed was making her want him more and more, she wanted his touch while he continued to move in and out of her, so she demanded his touch.


    "Touch me..." Jia Li said in a sultry tone with her eyes closed and her hands on her breasts.


    Fu Hua with his half-closed eyes moved one of his hands to her left breast and began to caress it gently while hitting her G-spot crazily.


    Both of them could feel they were getting close to their release, so Jia Li continued to moan and asked him to continue riding her harder, while Fu Hua continued to bang her harder while breathing in and out heavily.


    Finally, they both had their releases but they still looked like they were still not satisfied. Fu Hua pulled out of Jia Li and let their internal fluid mix and flow out from her entrance.


    Fu Hua leaned over to kiss her lips after wiping the sweat on her forehead. As their tongues danced to their passionate feelings, Fu Hua''s hands roamed all over her body.


    Jia Li was not left behind, she immediately went for his little brother. It was still a little painful for Fu Hua, so he groaned but didn''t push her away, instead he said to her, "Do you want it again?" He was ready to give it to her if she wanted him again.


    Jia Li knew his strength and wanted to reject that idea but her body was too honest and she instinctively nodded while gazing at him with her misty eyes.


    Fu Hua was seduced by her honest response. He smiled and said to her as he gently pushed her hands away, "Move up the middle of the bed."


    While Jia Li moved up the bed, Fu Hua took off his remaining clothes and stood before her in his naked glory.


    With his heated gaze on her body, Jia Li''s cheeks turned crimson as she met his gaze. As she turned to look away Fu Hua got on the bed andy on his side before asking her to do so.


    Jia Li understood that he wanted toe in from behind, so she quickly obeyed him. After all, this was another safe method for them to have s*x during her pregnancy.


    Not long, the both were ready for another passionate encounter and Fu Hua entered her from behind and began to ride her slowly, while nibbling on her ears and her neck with a hand caressing her body.


    Jia Li moaned as his hands moved from her breasts to her baby bump and then to her clits to massage it.


    The two went at it for more than several minutes now, before they found another release.

 Chapter 256 - Leaving Without Me

    <h4>Chapter 256 - Leaving Without Me</h4>


    By the time they were done cleaning up, their food had already gone cold but the housekeeper was smart to heat their food before they came downstairs to eat.


    While eating, Fu Hua kept putting food on Jia Li''s te and Jia Li ate without saying a word. She was beyond famished


    The kind of exercise she just did is for the strong and not for weaklings like her.


    After eating, Jia Li swallowed her drugs and remained unmoving. She was so full that she couldn''t help herself up.


    When she thought about her cute puppies that were still waiting for her to name them, a beautiful smile appeared on her face. As she wanted to get up Fu Hua nced at her, "Where are you going?"


    "To see my babies." Jia Li replied with a proud smile.


    Fu Hua had 3 question marks ??? appear above his head.. His brows furrowed as he asked, "Don''t tell me you are referring to the puppies?"


    "Of course they are my babies." Jia Li replied and was about to walk away when she heard him say in a dangerous tone, "It looks like you''ve regained your strength so soon."


    Jia Li smiled sheepishly before turning to plead with him, "I just want to see them. You know how much I love them and I don''t feel settled not checking on them."


    Looking at those round eyes staring at him, Fu Hua said, "You love them that you can''t bear to part with them, what about me?"


    "I love you and I can''t bear to part with you as well, you have the first ce in my heart." Jia Li said with a smile, as she tried to win him over.


    Finally, Fu Hua''s face turned less serious as he was quite satisfied with her confessions.


    "You just finished eating, you need to rest for a while and you can''t move about a lot, your tummy hurts my eyes because I''m afraid you will bump into something if you''re not careful." Fu Hua said with worry.


    Jia Li smiled sweetly and went to his side. She grabbed his hand and said to him, "Thank you for worrying about me and the baby."


    "You don''t need to thank me, it''s my duty. Come with me, I have something to tell you." Fu Hua said and got to his feet while holding her hand, while leading her to the sitting room.


    After they have settled themselves on the 2-sitter couch, Jia Li asked curiously, "What do you want to tell me?"


    "I have work to do in New York City and that will take about a week." Fu Hua said as he hugged her in his arms.


    "You are leaving without me?" Jia Li asked he she directed a sad gaze to him.


    "Yes, you''re heavily pregnant and that kind of long-distance travel won''t be good for you. You need to stay here and wait for my return." Fu Hua said and kissed her forehead.


    Jia Li still looked sad as she asked, "When are you leaving?"


    "In less than 2 weeks." Fu Hua said with a smile as he rubbed her back. He knows his little wife was sad she wasn''ting with him but it would be best if she stayed at home.


    "What if you take too long toe back and then I give birth to our daughter without you around?" Jia Li asked with a frown.


    "There is nothing to be worried about, I will only be gone for a week. There is an internalpetition for the ce of FJ''s Chief Designer, so I have to be present." Fu Hua revealed.


    Every 4 years, FJ will host an internalpetition for the next Chief Designer and the person that held the title before can join as well.


    "It looks like I worried too much." Jia Li said to him.


    "Don''t miss me too much. It''s good that your dog and puppies are here to keep youpany and the servants are here to serve you while I''m gone. If you need anything, don''t stress yourself, just rx and be served." Fu Hua said to her with a gentle tone.


    He would rather leave Jia Li alone in the house to be apanied by her pets than to send her to the Fu Mansion.


    "Fu Hua..." Jia Li said as she gazed at him but her words were cut short.


    "What did you call me?" Fu Hua said as he pinched her chubby cheeks.


    "Ah... I mean, Husband." Jia Li said as she immediately corrected herself.


    "Call me Darling." Fu Hua said while giving her an expectant gaze.


    "Darling?" Jia Li asked with a smile.


    "Mmm." Fu Hua hummed in reply.


    "Darling, we have to name our baby and go shopping for her clothes and items when youe back." Jia Li reminded him.


    "Of course, Baby. We will do just that." Fu Hua said as he hugged her again.


    After several minutes of staying in each other''s arms, Jia Li was morefortable and raised her head to look at Fu Hua before making a request.


    "Darling, can I go to see Ocean and her puppies?"


    Fu Hua nced at her, not knowing what to say to her. He thought she had forgotten about it but it looks like he was wrong.


    Seeing the way she was blinking her round eyes like an innocent kitten, he pinched her cheeks and said, "What do you think about all day?"


    "The people and the things I love." Jia Li replied immediately as she continued blinking her eyes innocently.


    Fu Hua released her cheeks and said, "You can go and see them but don''t take too long, you need to rest."


    Fu Hua said that because he was worried her body was already tired from their bed activities and she was pushing on because she wanted to spend time with her puppies.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li said with a smile as she kissed his cheeks.


    Fu Hua let her go to the side house with a servant. He would have apanied her but he didn''t want to get angry seeing how close she was to her dogs and besides, he wouldn''t manage to get her attention. He had rather stay indoors and get some work done.


    Jia Li was lucky enough to meet Ocean and the puppies awake. After she left, Ocean napped with her babies.


    Jia Li named her puppies after she picked them up in her arms. The female was called Avery and the male was named Archie.

 Chapter 257 - Spending Time With Her Pets

    <h4>Chapter 257 - Spending Time With Her Pets</h4>


    Over the next few days, Jia Li took pictures of her pets and posted them on her Weibo page. She got lots of interestingments that she enjoyed reading.


    Some fans asked her to post a picture of herself but there was no way she could do that, as even a selfie would be enough to tell the changes she has undergone for the past few months.


    Her face looked fleshy and she has put on some questionable weight. Jia Li politely rejected the request.


    Jia Li received gifts on behalf of Ocean and her little puppies. Her three friends sent her gifts, Grandfather Fu called someone to rebuild a much bigger kennel for her pets. YingPei and Meixu sent gifts as well.


    Finally, it was a day before Fu Hua''s departure. Jia Li sat on the chair in his walk-in closet and watched him pack his clothes. She wanted to help out but he rejected her help and said he would feel better if she just sat there and watched him and that was exactly what she was doing..


    After packing his things, Fu Hua took a shower and got in bed with Jia Li. He made love to her in an appreciative way.


    He took his time slowly undressing her, kissing her all over her body, before gently sliding inside her. He was very gentle as he ravished her. When they were done, theyid in each other''s arms, naked.


    "I don''t see you wear the ring." Fu Hua said in a low tone.


    "I don''t see you wear yours either." Jia Li said with the side of her face ced on his chest.


    Fu Hua sighed and said, "I promise to put it on."


    A smile appeared on Jia Li''s face as she slowly closed her eyes in satisfaction.


    "I''ll be leaving early in the morning. Take care of yourself and our child while I''m away. I will speak to you with every opportunity I have, at least thrice a day if I''m not too busy."


    "Mmm..." Jia Li hummed in reply as she drew circles on his chest with her eyes closed.


    "If you feel like talking to me, you can call at any time. Be obedient and wait for me, okay?" Fu Hua said as he massaged her scalp with his fingers. He couldn''t help touching her scalp and the long hair that she allowed to flow behind her.


    "Mmm..."


    With everything Fu Hua said to her, Jia Li responded with a hum. Fu Hua guessed she was feeling sleepy and helped her to get out of bed in order to take a bath.


    After that, he helped her to apply a stretch-mark removal cream and some other body creams with beneficial conditions as prescribed by the doctor on her body before wrapping her body directly with a night robe.


    Jia Li was so tired and sleepy that she let him do the work. When he was done dolling her up for the night, he pulled her to the bed to lie in his arms.


    The next morning, Jia Li got up on time to send her husband off. She clung onto Fu Hua like a bear and refused to let go.


    Fu Hua had to mention runningte because of the long-distance before she reluctantly let him go.


    "I will miss you." Jia Li said to him with pouted lips. She was clearly unhappy and wished to throw more tantrums but she couldn''t.


    "I will miss you and our baby." Fu Hua said as he caressed her baby bump with a smile before leaning in to kiss her lips.


    Jia Li was sad he was leaving, so she didn''t think about being shy when he kissed her outside the house.


    Atst, Jia Li gave Fu Hua a side hug because of the size of her stomach, before he got into the car and left.


    Fu Hua already instructed for Jia Li to be well taken care of by the servants and military men. He also told Jia Li she could invite her friends over if she was too bored but she was not allowed to leave the house because of her safety and condition.


    Jia Li was feeling down after Fu Hua left, so the housekeeper reminded her of her pets and quickly asked for them to be brought into the house.


    Of course, it wasn''t the housekeeper that did that, she asked the caregiver to bring Ocean and the cute little puppies into the sitting room as per Jia Li''s order.


    Jia Li was so excited when she saw the little puppies already moving around steadily. Avery and Archie were giving curious nces to therge sitting area and it was their first time indoors.


    The cute little puppies followed their mother Ocean to Jia Li''s side. Jia Li wouldn''t have paid much attention to Ocean if she didn''te to her side and nudged her belly a few times gently while making a low sound.


    Jia Li rubbed her head and back happily and said, "She will be out soon."


    After saying that, Jia Li asked for the clueless little puppies to be brought to her. Ocean sat by her side as her puppies were brought to Jia Li''s thighs.


    The puppies liked Jia Li''s warm embrace and sniffed her, after moving close to her body warmth.


    Jia Li was all smiles as she caressed them and called out to them. The caregiver saw there was no need for him and stepped outside.


    Jia Li couldn''t get over her cute babies. She hugged both of them and wouldn''t let go. When she was reminded that it wasn''t healthy to y with her puppies for so long, especially holding unto them, she reluctantly put them down beside her.


    She did not allow the puppies to sit on the rug like Ocean and it looked like the cute little things didn''t care, as they both snuggled close to her from time to time.


    Ocean wasn''t left out in their interaction. She would make low noises, probably because she was a mother now or because of her owner''s baby bump.


    Jia Li yed with her dog and pups for a long while before letting them go back to their kennel to eat and for her to get some rest.


    When Fu Hua got to New York City, he phones Jia Li to tell her about it. He also showed her around his hotel room.

 Chapter 258 - Difficult Position

    <h4>Chapter 258 - Difficult Position</h4>


    A dayter, Fu Meixu learns about Fu Hua''s trip andes to visit.


    Jia Li was happy to have her since she needed somepany apart from the one she was getting from her pets.


    Because Fu Meixu was especially scared of Ocean, so Jia Li asked Ocean to sit some distance away from her and she reminded her to be obedient and not to scare her guest.


    Ocean licked her tongue and turned away to walk to the position Jia Li had pointed. Sheid there and fixed her gaze on the puppies Jia Li had in her hands.


    Fu Meixu was able to breathe a sigh of relief now that Ocean was far from her. She smiled and ced the cute puppies in her arms.


    "They are so cute, what are their names?" Fu Meixu asked as she touched one of them.


    Jia Li was more than happy to introduce the puppies to Meixu.. She treated them like her babies and wouldn''t let go of them if she wasn''t reminded to.


    "Can I hold them?" Fu Meixu asked with a smile. She liked the puppies very much and the reason she wasn''t afraid of them, it''s because they are still little and harmless.


    "Sure..." Jia Li said as she handed the puppies to her.


    Fu Meixu carried them on herps and continued to rub their young bodies gently while Ocean looked on with a sharp glint. She was about to bark when Jia Li hushed her in time.


    "Do you have intentions of selling them?" Fu Meixu asked and right after that, Ocean barked at her.


    ''Don''t think about seeing my kids!''


    Jia Li calmed Ocean with a few words before turning to Fu Meixu to say, "I''m not selling them, they are my baby''s ymate."


    "Alright, I get it." Fu Meixu said and chuckled softly.


    Fu Meixu spent some time with Jia Li before leaving.


    Two dayster, something happened. The servants that were working for Jia Lia and Fu Hua were called back to the Fu family.


    ording to the call the housekeeper received, it was the time for their yearly training, so they were asked toe back.


    The housekeeperid out her suspicion about the call to Jia Li.


    "It''s not reasonable to ask us toe back for the training when you are pregnant and there is no one to cater to your needs."


    "So what do you think?" Jia Li asked with a smile.


    "I think someone is trying to y some games." The housekeeper suggested.


    Jia Li was quiet for a while before speaking up, "Then let the person y the game."


    The housekeeper nced at Jia Li before lowering her voice to whisper, "Ma''am do you mean we should test the person?"


    "Since someone dares to go against Grandfather by putting me in a difficult position, why don''t we let the person get some rewards from it?" Jia Li suggested.


    She couldn''t guess who wanted to cause trouble for her but she has decided to teach the person a little lesson. She was curious as to what will transpire.


    This was the first time she would be standing up for herself and she hopes it all goes well even though she knew someone will not be happy with her.


    "But Ma''am, you will suffer if no one is here to serve you. How will you get your bath ready, eat and dress the bed?" The housekeeper asked worriedly.


    "If not for all of you spoiling me too much, you wouldn''t be so worried. Just make enough food for my baby and me, I can take care of the rest." Jia Li said with a smile.


    She was already so happy with her ns. It was the first timeunching an attack and she was already excited while waiting for the oue.


    The housekeeper thought that her Mistress had changed. She didn''t understand what Jia Li was ying at and she was very worried about her. If anything happens to her, all of them will pay for it with their lives.


    Just as Jia Li instructed, the housekeeper and the other servants made a lot of preparations before leaving in the van that was sent for them.


    Immediately after they left, Jia Li engaged in a video call with her three friends. They talked happily about a lot of things.


    Chang-Chang was going to audition to join a girl idol group a weekter, so they were chatting about it before they started dragging who was going to be the godmother of Jia Li''s baby.


    Jia Li settled the matter by telling them they all could be the godmothers to her baby but they had to prepare a red packet and wait for the delivery date to im the rights.


    After having a fun time with her friends, Jia Li went to the kitchen to pick some fruits for herself before going to the workshop to work on some new designs. She seemed unbothered as she was the only one at home.


    It was in the afternoon when the housekeeper and the other servants left, so right now, it was alreadyte in the evening.


    Jia Li was working on a new design when Fu Hua requested a video call. She epted it and continued being busy with her sketches.


    "What are you doing?" Fu Hua asked with a frown. Jia Li answered the call and abandoned the tablet, so he was a little annoyed and at the same time curious about what she was doing.


    Jia Li took a moment of break and ced her tablet in the right position, so they would be about to see each other.


    "I''m working on a new sketch. Don''t disturb me, I''ve got to be busy now." Jia Li said to him before moving her focus back to her sketchbook.


    Fu Hua was speechless. This was the first time he was calling since today and he was worried she was annoyed with him and missed him so much, so he decide to call. But what''s with this attitude he was getting?


    As instructed by his wife, Fu Hua didn''t disturb her and instead, he watched her quietly till she finished sketching.


    ''Could she be a work maniac like me?'' Fu Hua thought. He saw the way Jia Li was so engrossed with her work that she forgot about his existence.

 Chapter 259 - The Old Mans Anger

    <h4>Chapter 259 - The Old Man''s Anger</h4>


    "Can I see your sketch?" Fu Hua asked curiously after Jia Li rxed her back on the seat to show that she was through with sketching.


    "Sorry you can''t, it''s for my eyes only." Jia Li teased with a smile as she closed the sketchbook.


    "What''s the thing I''m seeing on the sketchbook?" Fu Hua asked. He wasn''t seeing the sketchbook cover well, and it looked unfamiliar to him, as he can''t remember ever seeing it.


    Jia Li raised the sketchbook and showed him the cover. Then she asked with a smile, "You mean this?"


    "Yes. I haven''t seen it before, did you get a new one?" Fu Hua asked in a curious tone.


    "I''ve always had it." Jia Li revealed as she put the sketchbook down..


    Fu Hua was surprised and asked, "Howe I''ve never seen it before?"


    "It''s special." Jia Li replied with a mysterious smile.


    Her words and her actions were enough to ignite the utmost curiosity in anyone and Fu Hua was not an exception.


    Jia Li had no idea that Fu Hua has already taken note of the sketch book''s cover and was going to find itter.


    Fu Hua and Jia Li chatted and takes about work and then their baby.


    "Did she kick a lot today?" Fu Hua asked with a gentle countenance.


    "Yes, she did. She was super active today and caused me some pain." Jia Li replied as she picked up her tablet from the position she ced it.


    "I think she missed me." Fu Hua said with a proud smile.


    "Don''t get ahead of yourself. She was super active because Ocean, Archie and Avery yed with her, it has nothing to do with you." Jia Li said, bursting his bubbles without mercy.


    Fu Hua''s facial expression changed. "You''re bing so bold, just wait till Ie back and punish you."


    Jia Li immediately turned to nce at her baby bump and said while creating it to the amazement of Fu Hua.


    "Baby, did you hear what your father said? He said he''s going to punish your mother when he gets back, he is a bully, we need to report him."


    Since the matter involved his daughter, how could Fu Hua let Jia Li tarnish his reputation? He immediately said to her, "Sweetheart, what are you teaching our child?"


    "Didn''t you say you would punish me? You dare to threaten your pregnant wife, you''re sure a big bully." Jia Li said to him with a reason gaze.


    Fu Hua gave up and apologized, "Alright, I''m sorry. Don''t teach our child bad things."


    Jia Li turned to nce at her baby bump and said to the child, "Baby, your father has repented, forgive him."


    Before they ended the call, Fu Hua reminded Jia Li to eat before going to bed.


    "I know, thank you! You try to get some rest, good night."


    Fu Hua had no idea that his wife was all alone in the house or he would have caused a bigmotion by now.


    After the call, Jia Li went to the kitchen to heat some food for herself in the microwave. After serving herself, she began to eat.


    She took her drugs after eating and sent the tes to the kitchen sink. She tries to clean up the things she used but her baby bump was in the way.


    She was a little frustrated as she tried to stand at her side to wash the tes but she failed. She refused to give up and tried different ways to clean everything up. And atst, she left the kitchen for her bedroom an hourter.


    She was so tired that she didn''t want to have a bath but she had to.


    Once her head hit the pillow, she fell asleep, meanwhile, the Fu residence was being thrown upside down by the old man.


    He just learned from Butler Lu that the servants he assigned to take care of Jia Li and Fu Hua''s needs were back.


    He was so angry that he asked for the housekeeper toe and exin herself. Housekeeper Zu exined the details of the call to him.


    "Are you saying that Jia Li is all alone in that house by this time?" Grandfather Fu asked as a hint of dangerous glint shone on his face.


    He was more concerned about Jia Li being all alone in the big house when it was alreadyte and to top it all, she was heavily pregnant. What if an ident happens?


    Housekeeper Zu was so scared of the cold air the Old man was emitting and fell to her knees before hitting her head on the cold tiles.


    "Old master I am guilty of neglecting the duties you assigned to me, please punish me."


    Housekeeper Zu was so scared but she had to ask for punishment because she deserved it. Thinking about how her heavily pregnant mistress was going to spend the night alone in that house with only the soldiers standing guard outside, she discovered it was a big mistake.


    She didn''t dare to reveal the n Jia Li had, since it was a secret between them and it was not supposed to be revealed to anybody.


    "You and the servants will be punished severely!" Grandfather Fu said as he banged his fists on his desk angrily. He was seething with rage.


    Butler Lu who has been standing quietly at the side immediately intervened. He too was curious as to the person that ordered the servants.


    He knew it wouldn''t pass Fu Hee and Fu FangSu but his suspicion was on FangSu as Fu Hee wouldn''t dare to do anything like that unless she didn''t want her life anymore.


    "Master, please calm down. Right now, the Miss is alone at home, we have to send her servants back immediately, their punishment cer."


    Being reminded of how his innocent granddaughter-inw was probably scared of staying alone in that big house, Grandfather was angrier.


    He got to his feet and said while pointing at his Butler, "Fine! Send the servants back immediately. I don''t care what time it is now, get them out of here immediately!"


    Butler Lu helped Housekeeper Zu, who was already shivering to get on her feets, when the old man added angrily, "I will give you 20 minutes to send the servants away and find out who made the call, and the person that gave that idea."


    "Yes, Master." Butler Lu said as he bowed to Grandfather Fu along with Housekeeper Zu who was scared to meet the old man''s frightening gaze.


    "Someone dares to sneak around under my nose and punish my people, what a death wish being asked for! Drag the traitor and the aplice here for me to see!" Grandfather Fu said and waved his hands for them to leave at once.


    The old man was very angry that he couldn''t sit anymore and walked around his study while waiting for answers.

 Chapter 260 - Crying For Help In The Middle Of The Night

    <h4>Chapter 260 - Crying For Help In The Middle Of The Night</h4>


    As Grandfather Fu was getting impatient from waiting, Butler Lu returned with news.


    "She really dares to y such tricks under my nose. It looks like I''ve spoilt her too much!." Grandfather Fu said furiously.


    "Old Master, what do we do now?." Butler Lu asked from the side in a low tone.


    "Do you need to ask? Where is that Brat that is bearing my family''s name?!." Grandfather Fu asked with an angry gaze directed at Butler Lu.


    Butler Lu sighed and reported, "Master, it''s almost midnight, she is sleeping already."


    "She dares to sleep peacefully after endangering her sister-inw?! What are you doing?! Get a few manservants to drag her out of bed and bring her to me!.." Grandfather Fu said angrily.


    The old man was so angry that he could strangle ha granddaughter to death.


    Taking heed to the old man, Butler Lu tool two manservants and a maid to FangSu''s bedroom in the middle of the night.


    When they arrived at the door to FangSu''s bedroom, Butler Lu stopped and instructed the maid, "It is not appropriate for us to enter the young miss''s bedroom by this time of the night, go in and put on a coat on her."


    Grandfather Fu was probably too angry and forgot FangSu was a female, and only asked Butler Lu to take two manservants with him to drag her out.


    The old man was only thinking his granddaughter would be very stubborn and wouldn''t want toe out especially now that she got herself in trouble, hence he gave out that instruction.


    The maid didn''t bother to know before quietly walking into the room. She went straight to get a big jacket for FangSu, before going to her side to wake her.


    FangSu was already in dreand and was sleeping peacefully when he heard her name being called, while someone was shaking her body.


    She was so pissed that she frowned and hit the person''s hands away and said with her eyes still closed, and her face twisted in a frown, "Get out!."


    The maid stopped and stood erect. ''You still dare to sleep after causing trouble for us?'' The maid thought angrily before ncing around the room.


    She saw a ss of water and thought about pouring it on FangSu, but she quickly let go of that thought, as a servant could not abuse her master.


    The maid tried again. And this time around the added, "Miss, the old master is calling for you."


    Her words were enough to jolt FangSu up from sleep.


    FangSu still had sleepy eyes as asked, "My grandfather asked for me? What is the time?


    The maid didn''t want to entertain her and waste more time. She urged her to get up and put on her jacket immediately.


    "Miss, there is no time for that, but we must quickly leave now. Please put on the jacket."


    FangSu''s brain wasn''t functioning properly at the time, so she quickly did as she was instructed without asking any more questions.


    After FangSu put on the jacket, she walked towards the door with the servant. As the maid opened the door, FangSu was shocked to see Butler Lu standing there with two manservants. Her heart skipped a beat and she instinctively wanted to run back to her bedroom because she felt things were not right, but the maid that brought her out quickly blocked her way.


    Butler Lu frowned as he said to her, "Miss FangSu, it would be better if you obedientlye with me, we can''t bear the consequences of keeping the old master waiting."


    FangSu turned to nce at him with fear in her eyes. She didn''t want to believe what she was thinking. "Why is my grandfather looking for me by this time, can''t it wait till morning?."


    "Miss FangSu, I believe you the reason very well. Pleasee with us on your own." Butler Lu said as he gave her thest chance of walking on her own to the old man''s study.


    FangSu''s doubts were confirmed and something told her not to go with them, and she obeyed that voice.


    "I''m not going with you, I''m not feeling well!." She said as she tried to push the maid out of the way.


    Seeing that she was trying to escape, Butler Lu sighed and quickly ordered the manservants to grab her arms with a hand gesture. And immediately, FangSu''s arms were grabbed by the servants as they pulled her to walk away.


    FangSu knew she was in big trouble as her old ma. has found out what she did. She couldn''t allow them to take her to his study as she didn''t know what her fate would be, so she started screaming for her mother and asking the servants to let her go.


    "How dare you touch me!."


    "Mum! Mum, please save me!."


    "Brother! please save me!."


    FangSu''s screaming was loud enough to wake up the rest of the family members. They stepped out of their bedrooms confused at the familiar voice that was screaming.


    Fu Hee recognized her daughter''s voice and immediately rushed in the direction she heard it from. When she got to the foot of the steps she was in time to see her struggling daughter being pulled in the arms by two manservants while Butler Lu walked ahead.


    Fu Hee didn''t want for them toe down as she immediately climbed the stairs to block their way.


    "Mum, please save me!." FangSu pleaded in tears immediately she saw her mother.


    Fu Hee nced at her daughter in worry before turning to look at Butler Lu. "What happened? What did my SuSu do for you to treat her like this?."


    "Madam, it would be advisable if you stay out of this. The old master instructed us to do this." Butler Lu replied with an indifferent look.


    By now, the rest of the failing membership already gathered at the foot of the steps and staring at them in wonder.


    Fu Meixu had a smile on her face as she watched FangSu in tears while being pulled by two servants forcefully. She knew thetter must have caused big trouble for her to be treated that way.


    Fu YingPei was also wondering what his sister did for their old man to pull her out of her room in the middle of the night.


    ''What trouble did she cause now?.'' He thought.

 Chapter 261 - No Point In Crying

    <h4>Chapter 261 - No Point In Crying</h4>


    FangSu was dragged into the Old Man''s study by the manservants and when the rest of the family wanted toe in, Butler Lu blocked their way.


    "Please go back." Butler Lu said with his arm stretched out. No smile could be seen on his face.


    Fu Hee was so worried that she couldn''t help pacing up and down the hallway.


    "Can we at least know what she did wrong?" Fu Hee asked in a worried tone. Others were curious about the same question, so they all fixed their gazes on Butler Lu.


    "Miss FangSu would be in a better position to confess her sins after she is punished. Please go back to your rooms, Madams and Sirs." Butler Lu said before turning to walk into the study and shut the door behind them.


    In the study, FangSu was already fidgeting when she saw her furious grandfather.


    "What are you looking at? On your knees!" Grandfather said while pointing angrily at her.


    FangSu didn''t need the servants to help her because she knelt before her grandfather that minute with tears in her eyes and she didn''t dare to say a word for fear that she would be killed the next minute.


    "Lu, get my cane!" Grandfather Fu instructed with his fierce gaze on FangSu whose eyes widened in shock.


    As Butler Lu went behind the big shelf to get the cane, FangSu tried to get to her feet but the servants held her down by the shoulders.


    "Grandfather, please. I''m sorry, I promise not to do it again!" FangSu pleaded with tears in her eyes as she couldn''t believe her grandfather would want to hit her and this was the first time in her life he would be pushing her using that method and she was so scared.


    "That was the same thing you said to me but do I look like I have no value for you to be so sneaky under my nose?" Grandfather Fu asked while pointing at himself. He really wanted to throw things at her but he was above that.


    "Grandfather I know I went back on my words, it''s just that brother''s servants were rude to mest time, so I thought they needed the training and asked for them toe over!" FangSu pleaded as a snort was alreadying out from her nose.


    "The servants I trained were rude to you? And what right do you have to make decisions in this family? Are you not aware that you''re thest person in this family to be put into consideration based on age and hierarchy?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    FangSu was tongue-tied and didn''t know how to reply but she started crying and begging her old man again when Butler Lu handed the thick cane to him.


    "Grandfather I''m sorry, I don''t know what got over me! I promise to apologize to Sister-inw and Brother." FangSu pleaded as she cried out in a good voice.


    "You want to tell your brother about it? Fine go ahead but receive your punishment first! Stretch out your palms!" Grandfather Fu said to her angrily as he stretched the cane towards her.


    FangSu was so scared that she refused to stretch her palms out, so the servants helped her out.


    "Hold her shoulders down and hold out her hands." Butler Lu instructed from the side.


    The rest of the families were already worried in one way or the other, as they couldn''t see what was happening inside.


    In no time they began to hear FangSu''s loud cries and the sound of a cane hitting her palms. Fu Hee was so shocked that she wanted to barge into the study but Fu ChunHua pulled her back in time.


    "Can you bear the consequences?" Fu ChunHua asked with a smile. She was very happy that FangSu was getting punished because that little brat has been rude to her since she returned.


    Fu Hee hit her hands off and stared at the tightly shut doors of the study. She couldn''t tolerate her dearest child being hit and there was nothing she could do about it. This was so heartbreaking to hear.


    Fu Meixu was all smiles as she chipped in from the side, "FangSu must havemitted a huge crime this time around and I think it has something to do with Cousin-inw."


    Fu Hee immediately turned and asked impatiently, "Do you know what happened? Tell me about it quickly."


    "Aunty, I never said I know what happened, I was only making guesses. We all know that FangSu has been punished before for going against Jia Li and for her to receive a beating this time around, she must have done something more. I really pity her."


    After saying that, Fu Meixu strode away with a smile on her face.


    Fu Hee''s heart couldn''t stop beating at a fast rate. She didn''t know what to make of Meixu''s words but it had a very high chance of being true.


    ''SuSu, what have you done?!'' Fu Hee thought to herself as she wiped the tears off her face.


    "Mum, there is no point in crying. You have to save the strength to treat SuSu''s injuries." Fu YingPei reminded from the side.


    "YingPei can you beg your grandfather or call your brother, I''m sure they will listen to you." Fu Hee held YingPei''s hands and pleaded with him.


    "Mum, how can you say that? I can''t ask my brother for help as he is not in the country." Fu YingPei said as he pushed his mother''s hands away with a frown.


    He nned on retiring to sleep since he had a hectic day at work but it looks like he can''t leave yet before his mother aggravates the situation.


    "Mum, let''s go back. Grandfather will not be happy to see us here." Fu YingPei said as he pulled his mother and left.


    Fu Hee was very reluctant to leave but she had no choice. When they got to the sitting room, they met Fu Meixu who was sitting there and eating an Apple without a care of what was going on.


    As Fu Hee settled down on the couch with tears in her eyes, Fu Meixu said to her, "Aunty, you should eat something because it''s going to be a long night."

 Chapter 262 - Rights To Punish

    <h4>Chapter 262 - Rights To Punish</h4>


    Fu Hee red at her and admonished her, "You can still eat by this time when your cousin is being punished, don''t you feel a little bit distressed?"


    Fu Meixu chuckled and asked, "Aunty, how can I be worried. I didn''t ask FangSu tomit a crime."


    Fu Hee still wanted to scold her but Fu ChunHua and Fu Ling arrived, so she could only sit back quietly.


    Fu Ling didn''t stay for long he only said good night to them before leaving. It was useless for him to stay there, he was a CEO now and had apany to run, so what would he achieve by sitting there and waiting for the person that was being punished toe out? It really had nothing to do with him.


    Fu Meixu and Fu ChunHua were only waiting for the oue of FangSu''s punishment because of their curiosity and they couldn''t wait to add more fuel to the fire when needed.


    Fu Hee was so restless that she couldn''t sit at a ce and had to pace around while ncing towards the entrance from time to time. She was waiting for her daughter to be brought back to her.


    After what felt like ages when it was just 20 minutes that passed, FangSu was dragged out of the study by the servants and with Butler Lu walking ahead of them..


    FangSu eyes were already swollen from crying and surprisingly, she wasn''t wailing like she was before. She was only sniffing as she allowed the servants to pull her with them.


    Immediately Fu Hee saw theming, she ran to FangSu''s side and asked the servants to let her go in an angry voice.


    Butler Lu signaled for them to leave as their work was done, so they left.


    FangSu''s palms were swollen and bleeding and that sight alone was enough to prick Fu Hee''s heart.


    "My Baby, what did your grandfather do to you?" Fu Hee asked as she started crying again, while taking a look at her daughter''s unsightly hands.


    FangSu refused to reply as her head was lowered.


    Fu Meixu, her mother and Fu YingPei walked over to see FangSu''s swollen and bleeding palms and they hissed because of the pain FangSu must have been going through.


    "Aiyah! How could Father punish her like this?" Fu ChunHua said with a frown.


    "Cousin, it must be painful." Fu Meixu said with a in look. She was scared of the injury she got but she was also happy she was punished.


    Before any of them could continue asking questions, Butler Lu made an announcement.


    "The old master said no doctor should be called till the day is bright. Miss FangSu has been punished. Her bank ounts are frozen, the wee car gift has been taken away and she is not allowed to visit anyone or receive visitors till further notice. She is to apologize to Miss Jia Li by 9 am, that''s all. Madam, you may take her away."


    After giving the announcement, Butler Lu walked away towards the direction of the entrance. He was going outside of the house.


    Fu Meixu was not shocked by the heavy punishment that was given to FangSu instead, she felt that she deserved it.


    Fu Hee''s heart was so bittered that she couldn''t do anything to relieve herself.


    "SuSu, what did you do to receive this heavy punishment from grandfather? Who did you offend?" Fu YingPei asked in a curious tone.


    "How can you ask the kind of question now? Call the doctor and ask him toe very early in the morning." Fu Hee said in an angry tone.


    Seeing that she was about to take FangSu away, Fu Meixu couldn''t help but to chip in some words.


    "FangSu, you''re always impulsive and look here you got punished today. Who knows what kind of punishment you will receive next, you might actually be sent out of the family without a penny or be forced to get married, who knows?"


    "FangSu, I hope you''ve learned a lesson today. We need some peace in this family and I hope you behave or I will punish you for going against the rules since your mother can''t teach you properly." Fu ChunHua said with a frown.


    "What right do you two have to talk to my daughter that way?!" Fu Hee asked angrily as she red at the mother and daughter while holding FangSu''s hands.


    "I am the Mistress of this family and I have the right to punish any child that goes against the rules of our family." Fu ChunHua replied.


    Fu YingPei couldn''t stand them and walked away immediately. He will not get in their fight.


    "You want to teach my daughter the rules, do you know them?!" Fu Hee asked while pointing at her.


    "I know them very well and let me remind you that I still have the right to punish FangSu, she has been disrespectful to me since she came back, so you should be careful." Fu ChunHua reminded her.


    "Do you dare?!" Fu Hee said to her with a re.


    "It looks like I have to start taking my role seriously. Meixu, let''s leave." Fu ChunHua said and pulled her daughter to leave.


    "Cousin, don''t forget to be obedient and recover properly." Fu Meixu added with a smiling gaze before leaving with her mother.


    "Bitches!" Fu Hee cursed before fixing a rxing gaze on her daughter.


    "Let''s go." Fu Hee said to her and pulled her to walk away. She took FangSu straight to her bedroom and made her sit on the bed.


    Fu Hee left for her inner room to bring the First-aid box ????. She couldn''t understand the reason she couldn''t see any servants in the house.


    What Fu Hee and the rest didn''t know was that all the servants were currently kneeling outside. There was no way Grandfather Fu would leave them unpunished.


    He felt that everybody should be punished since the ones that imed to be innocent didn''t remind those that were innocent on what was the right thing to do.


    While cleaning FangSu''s wounds, Fu Hee was so careful and felt that her heart was bleeding. FangSu who hasn''t said a word since she left her grandfather''s study, started screaming in pain.

 Chapter 263 - Fu Hee Scolds FangSu

    <h4>Chapter 263 - Fu Hee Scolds FangSu</h4>


    After cleaning FangSu''s hands, Fu Hee applied the cream on them before using a white bandage on them.


    "SuSu, don''t cry, try to get some sleep." Fu Hee said to her in a gentle tone.


    FangSu was so angry, humiliated and sad with the treatment she received from her beloved old man. She couldn''t help feeling all kinds of emotions building up in her.


    "I hate grandfather!" FangSu said angrily. She still felt like throwing something but how could she do that when her hands were in that state.


    "Don''t say that aloud. Go to sleep or will you like to have a bath? I will go to your room to get another night dress for you." Fu Hee said to her.


    "I don''t want to do anything!" FangSu said as tears started to drip down her eyes. Right now, she hated everyone and didn''t want to talk to any of them.


    Since she was born, she has never been treated that way by anyone. Everyone loved and adored her, so this punishment she just received, broke her heart.


    She didn''t care about the material things but what she care about was her emotions that were hurt.


    Fu Hee could understand the pains her daughter was going through and she tried to hug her but FangSu did not need it.


    "Grandfather hates me! He didn''t care that I am a model and went on to damage my skin. What am I going to do now?!" FangSu said and began to cry again.


    When her skin healed, there were going to be scars left by the injury she had and it would look ugly. This was enough reason for her to hate her grandfather and Jia Li.


    "SuSu don''t cry. I promise to get the best healing creaming that could recover the scars that may be left behind. Tell me what you did wrong." Fu Hee said while patting her shoulder.


    She was very curious to know what her daughter did for her to be punished severely.


    "I didn''t do much. I only asked for the servants in brother''s house toe back for their yearly training." FangSu confessed.


    Those who heard her exnation will surely not find faults with her but if they thought deeply as to the intentions behind her act, they would understand.


    Why would FangSu who didn''t have any authority in the family make such decisions without asking anybody? And she did that when her brother was not around.


    Fu Hee once had that mindset, so she understood her daughter''s intentions well enough. She was dumbfounded for a while and didn''t know if to a scold her or just keep calm since she was already going through enough pains.


    Atst, she said to her, "SuSu, you don''t listen to me, do you? I warned you several times not to cause trouble but you wouldn''t listen, now see what you brought upon yourself."


    "Mum, you are ming the wrong person. What I did was not a big deal. It''s not like that woman doesn''t have hands and feet to do things for herself before the servants returned!" FangSu defended herself.


    "Shut your mouth!" Fu Hee said to her angrily.


    FangSu was taken by surprise by her mother''s harsh tone.


    "What you did wasn''t a big deal, can you hear yourself?! Do you know the kind of punishment you received? Your bank ounts are frozen, your car has been taken away and you are not allowed to leave the house or receive visitors, plus the physical injury you have!" Fu Hee scolded her.


    She couldn''t stand her daughter''s foolish talks anymore and had to scold her.


    "Mum, why are you shouting at me? I will still recover what I''ve lost." FangSu said with a confident tone.


    Fu Hee red at her and asked, "Are you thinking your grandfather will return your car and unfreeze your ounts?"


    "Why not?" FangSu asked with a frown.


    "I don''t think you know what you got yourself into. Your grandfather will not return your car to you and for the money in your bank, forget it. Get ready to start working once the ban of you leaving the house has been lifted." Fu Hee said to her before going into the inner room with the First-Aid box leaving the shocked FangSu behind.


    What Fu Hee said was right. Grandfather Fu did not n on returning the car to FangSu and as for her bank ounts, she just had to forget she ever had one.


    Now he was going to let her work her ass off and pay her bills herself.


    Jia Li who was sleeping peacefully had no idea of what was going on in the Fu house and she had no idea when her servants returned.


    The next morning, Jia Li was still in a deep sleep when her favorite servant (The one that has been with her since she first entered the Fu house) walked into the room and went straight for the bathroom to prepare a hot water bath for her.


    After getting everything ready, the servant picked some clothes for her before leaving with theundry basket.


    Just as the servant walked away and closed the door, Jia Li frowned in her sleep before slowly opening her eyes.


    The day was bright already when she squinted her eyes open. She slowly sat up on the bed and stretched herself, before standing up from the bed.


    She was pressed and had to leave for the bathroom but not long after, she came back to her bedroom with a confused look on her face.


    When she went into the bathroom, she discovered that the bath has already been prepared for her and when she touched the water, it was still hot.


    She was wondering who drew the bath for her, as she had no recollection of what happenedst night. She can''t remember drawing a bath for herself.


    When she walked back into her bedroom, she immediately went to her nightstand and pressed a button that was there.


    ''Are the servants back?'' Jia Li pondered while sitting on her bed.


    Just as she thought, her favorite servant, Mei, knocked and opened the door.


    "Good Morning, Ma''am." Mei greeted with a bow.


    "You''re back?" Jia Li asked in surprise.


    "Yes, Ma''am. Would you like me to help you with something?" The servant asked.


    "No, you can go." Jia Li said to her.

 Chapter 264 - Grandfather Fu Is Irritated

    <h4>Chapter 264 - Grandfather Fu Is Irritated</h4>


    Jia Li freshened up and climbed on the scale to check her weight and after she recorded the number. She was all smiles because she didn''t add again.


    Jia Li went down for breakfast and saw the housekeeper, personally organizing the food on the dining table.


    When the servants saw her, they all greeted her and went about with their chores.


    "Mrs. Zu, what time did you return?" Jia Li asked as she sat down and fixed her gentle gaze on the housekeeper.


    Housekeeper Zu smiled as she dished some food for her. "We came in veryte."


    "Howe you all came back so early?" Jia Li asked curiously.


    "Madam, please eat first, then I will answer all your questions." The housekeeper said to her with a polite smile.


    Since she was very hungry, Jia Li ate her food quietly. The baby had toe first and then she was next.


    After taking her drugs and sitting for a few minutes, Jia Li asked the housekeeper to go with her on a walk.


    While taking walk outside, the housekeeper exined their encounter at the Fu House including the culprit, as she was opportune to learn about it before they were sent away.


    "So, it was my sister-inw. I don''t know what I did to her that she treats me this way." Jia Li said in a sad tone.


    "Madam, there is no need to care about her. You have the young master and the Old master by your side, so you don''t need to worry too much." The housekeeper said to her.


    Jia Li let out a deep sigh. She was about to continue talking when she heard the bark from Ocean. A smile appeared on her face and she immediately took a detour and went straight to find Ocean and her cute puppies.


    The housekeeper was surprised with how fast her mood changed and quickly followed her.


    "My babies!" Jia Li said in an excited tone when she the cute little puppies that were staring at her innocently.


    Ocean barked at not being recognized and Jia Li rubbed her body and called out to her in a soft tone. Ocean seemed satisfied because she wagged her tail the next moment.


    Jia Li couldn''t squat or bend low to reach the puppies, so their trainer/caretaker helped her to pick the little puppies and put them in her arms.


    Jia Li was so happy as she called their names and spoke to them while the housekeeper watched from the side. She didn''t dare to get too close because of Ocean''s presence.


    When Jia Li was tired from standing, she left with the puppies in her arms. She was taking them inside the house with her.


    Ocean didn''t wait to be invited after her owner abandoned her because she immediately followed after them.


    The housekeeper assisted Jia Li by the arm as they made their way inside the house.


    Not long after, Jia Li got a call from an unknown number, when she answers the call, she heard FangSu''s hoarse voice.


    "Sister-inw, I''m sorry for what I did, it won''t happen again!" FangSu apologized and before Jia Li could clear her confused mind, the call had already ended.


    Jia Li was still trying to understand the mystery behind the apology when she received another call from grandfather Fu.


    "Jia Li, this old man is sorry about what happened yesterday, I didn''t take care of you properly. Next time, don''t allow anyone to step on you. You can scold them as you like. You will be the next Mistress of the family, so you have to learn to exercise your rights and authority starting from today. If you have anyints, you can report to me or Fu Hua. Alright, I''ve said so much, take care of yourself and my great-grandchild."


    Throughout the conversation, Jia Li didn''t find any opportunity to say anything to the old man till he finished talking. She could only thank him and say goodbye to him.


    After the call, Grandfather Fu nced at FangSu that was sitting with them at the dining area before looking away with a frown.


    He made FangSu apologize to Jia Li before she was allowed to eat. FangSu was already famished after she was punishedst night and when she thought she would eat,first thing after she woke up but Grandfather gave all of them a big warning before allowing them toe over to the dining room.


    FangSu couldn''t eat with her hands because of the injury she has so she could only rely on her mother who was sitting beside her, to feed her.


    Grandfather Fu got irritated and asked Fu Hee to let FangSu eat by herself.


    "She is not a child let her feed herself!"


    "But father, her hands are injured, she can''t hold a spoon." Fu Hee said to the old man with a worried gaze.


    "If she can''t feed herself, then she shouldn''t eat!" Grandfather Fu said angrily. He didn''t care about his beloved granddaughter''s hand injury and wouldn''t forget to keep punishing her with every opportunity that wasid in front of him.


    Fu Hee wanted to talk but she met Fu ChunHua''s gaze. Actually, she was trying to help her and gave a sign not to talk. If she enraged the old man, everyone will suffer.


    Fu Hee held back her words and picked up a spoon before passing it to FangSu who was already in tears after being mistreated by her grandfather.


    She didn''t dare toin or to let her cries get louder. She ate her breakfast in pain and struggle.


    After breakfast, the doctor came over to treat her injuries and surprisingly, the old man released an expensive scar removing cream for his granddaughter''s treatment.


    Grandfather Fu''s move was really confusing to Fu Hee and FangSu.


    Fu Hee took the cream from Butler Lu and thanked him. FangSu said a word of thanks reluctantly after her mother sent a re at her.


    While FangSu was being treated, Fu Meixu called Jia Li to ask about what FangSu did to her and Jia Li mentioned the servants being called back for training.


    Fu Meixu filled her in on what transpired in the middle of the night, how FangSu was punished and the episode during breakfast.


    "...next time, she would have to think multiple times before doing anything." Fu Meixu said.

 Chapter 265 - Fu Hua Returns

    <h4>Chapter 265 - Fu Hua Returns</h4>


    Today, Fu Hua just arrived at home and had just got off the car when Jia Li ran to his hug him with a smiling gaze.


    "Darling, you''re back, I missed you!." Jia Li said with a warm smile on his face.


    Fu Hua''s cold expression melted as he hugged her from the side since her baby bump was getting in the way. "I missed you and the baby." He said and kissed her forehead with a smile.


    "Let''s go in, I made food for you." Jia Li said as she took his arm and led him inside in an excited mood.


    "You cooked?." Fu Hua asked in surprise as he walked inside the house with her.


    "Yes. When you told me you were 3 hours away fromnding, I had to start preparing something for you." Jia Li said as they passed the living room to go up the stairs.


    "Who allowed you to cook?." Fu Hua asked with a frown. He was worried about her getting tired.


    "You don''t need to approve of it, I just wanted to wee my husband." Jia Li said without losing her smile.


    What could Fu Hua tell his super active wife? He couldn''t bear to scold her although he was deeply worried about her.


    When they got into his bedroom, Fu Hua higher her from behind. He sniffed her scent as he said in a low gentle tone, "I missed you so much!."


    Jia Li touched his arms with a smile. "I missed you as well. I was hoping you woulde home on time, and you did like you promised, so I''m very happy."


    "I have to keep my promises to you, if not for anyone else." Fu Hua said with a smile and kissed her soft cheeks, she chuckled softly.


    Fu Hua released her from the hug and went to stand in front of her. "Let me see if you were obedient with your diet."


    "Did I put on a little weight?." Jia Li asked with a smile.


    Fu Hua pinched her soft cheeks gently and said with a smiling gaze, "Did you say little? You put on a lot of weight. It looks like you were quite naughty without my supervision."


    "I don''t believe you, I didn''t put on any weight, I check my weight daily, and you always asked for it to be sent to you, so he did I add?" Jia Li asked with a frown as she was starting to get worried.


    Fu Hua pinched her cheeks again and said to her, "Why are you so gullible even when the truth is before you?."


    "You don''t how much I''m swayed by your words." Jia Li replied with a pout.


    Fu Hua chuckled and kissed her cheeks. "You still look cute. I''m going to take a shower, wait for me."


    "Can I join you?." Jia Li asked immediately he was about to step away.


    Fu Hua turned over and fixed a smiling gaze on her, "Do you really want to take a shower with me?."


    Jia Li nodded with a smile, "Yes."


    Fu Hua put his hands inside his pockets and said while leaning over with a smiling gaze, "Even when you will be eaten clean?."


    "I don''t mind." Jia Li said without hesitation. She still had a smile on her face as she gazed at him expectantly. She really wanted to take a shower with him.


    Fu Hua was surprised by her response. Although he was teasing her, he was expecting her to run away, but she agreed without hesitating even for a minute, that was indeed a surprise.


    ''Looks like she missed me so much.'' Fu Hua thought with a smile.


    Fu Hua smiled and held his hand out towards her, and Jia Li took him happily, and they both went into the inner room.


    ncing at her naked body while having a shower made Fu Hua happy. He reached out his hands to caress her baby bump.


    "How is my little princess doing?." Fu Hua asked with a gentle voice. That smile on his face showed his happiness of being a father.


    "She is fine, and she missed you as well. I can''t wait for her toe out already." Jia Li said as she nced at her baby bump with love.


    "We have less than 2 months now, she will be out soon. Let''s build her nursery while we go shopping for her things." Fu Hua said as he moved his palms to her face to caress her cheeks.


    "What color of paint should we use?." Jia Li asked in tacit agreement with his words.


    "Do you like pink?." Fu Hua inquired.


    "Pink it''s cute. But it''smon. Let''s go with Yellow, the color is warm and beautiful as well." Jia Li said with a smile.


    "Alright, we will go with whatever you say." Fu Hua agreed with her and leaned in to kiss her lips softly.


    "Have you thought of a name for our baby?." Jia Li asked after the kiss.


    "We will do that together. Our princess has to get her names from her parents." Fu Hua said with a smiling gaze.


    "I agree with you. Hug me." Jia Li requested as she spread her arms.


    Fu Hua chuckled softly and gave in to her request. He hugged her, but obviously, the baby was in the way, and a frown turned up on Jia Li''s face.


    She was disappointed that she couldn''t feel her husband''s warmth.


    "Our princess wants a hug from us." Fu Hua said when he saw the frown on her face. Jia Li smiled at what he said.


    "I will soap your body." Jia Li said as she picked up the sponge ???? and soap, while Fu Hua turned on the shower.


    These two didn''t get racy in the shower, they only helped each other to wash up while kissing back and forth.


    After the shower, they both got dressed and went down to the dining room.


    Luckily, Jia Li didn''t serve the food yet, so she went to to the kitchen to dish the food. She wanted to serve her husband, so she didn''t let any of the servants help her out.

 Chapter 266 - Are You Guilty Of Any Crime?

    <h4>Chapter 266 - Are You Guilty Of Any Crime?</h4>


    Fu Hua saw how happy Jia Li was while serving him food and he let her be. She was acting so sweet to him, and he missed her more.


    He thought that the business trip was not worth how sweet his wife was to him. If business was not important as well, he would have abandoned it and stayed at home all day with his sweet innocent wife.


    It''s been a long time since Fu Huast tasted Jia Li''s food, so he ate a lot while praising her. Jia Li on the other hand didn''t think her cooking was overly delicious, but she was happy to see her husband eating the food greedily.


    "Stop serving me and eat." Fu Hua said to her in a gentle tone.


    "I''m full from seeing you eat." Jia Li replied happily as she put a piece of sesame chicken in his te of rice.


    She had prepared white rice and crispy sesame chicken with a sticky Asian sauce with so much love while anticipating his return.


    "Our princess must be hungry." Fu Hua said as he tried to get her to eat some food, as she has only eaten a little since she served the food.


    "Who was the one that said I was fat?." Jia Li asked as she leaned over.


    Fu Hua chuckled and asked, "Are you going to use my joke against me now?."


    "I have to seize every opportunity to make you guilty." Jia Li replied as she rxed her back on the chair with afortable smile.


    "Good." Fu Hua said while nodding. Then he leaned in and said to her in a low tone, "If you don''t eat, no cuddling for you."


    His threat worked. Jia Li picked up her chopsticks and began to eat. Fu Hua smiled and reached out to pat her hair.


    He took advantage of her as he knew she missed him dearly and have been asking for hugs while trying to get close to him, so he could guess she would ask for them to cuddle in bed after eating, hence he had to use it to make her eat.


    "You''re so obedient." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    "It''s not like I have a choice." Jia Li replied in a low tone as she put a piece of sesame chicken in her mouth.


    Fu Hua heard her and chuckled. She looked cute whileining.


    "An obedient wife will get more goodies from her husband." Fu Hua said to her with a smile.


    "You brought me gifts?." Jia Li asked with an excited gaze.


    "Of course, why not? After eating, we can open them together." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    "Okay," Jia Li replied happily and continued to eat while putting sesame chicken and some veggies in each other''s food.


    After eating, the two took a walk outside. Jia Li did not think about her pets, as all her attention was on her tall handsome husband who she was leaning her head on his shoulder.


    After taking a walk, they went back inside the house and went straight to the bedroom to unwrap the gifts.


    Jia Li got so many gifts from him. He got her a lot offortable clothes and footwear, and most of them could be worn during her postnatal care.


    Jia Li was so happy seeing the jewelry which consisted of so many beautiful and expensive earrings, bangles, and nes. There were different hair clips to doll her hair with.


    "Thank you so much!." Jia Li said in an excited tone as she nted so many kisses on his face.


    "It''s nothing, I should spoil my wife with loads of gifts." Fu Hua said before standing up to help her take the gifts into the walk-in closet.


    After clearing everything up, they got into the bed and cuddled till they both fell asleep. While sleeping, Jia Li had a satisfied smile on her face. She has missed being in her husband''s arms.


    As for Fu Hua, he slept peacefully. He was already tired from the long flight and needed a long rest.


    2 hourster, Jia Li squinted her eyes open after touching the empty side of the bed. She sat up on the bed with a frown on her face


    "Are you done sleeping?."


    Jia Li turned and looked behind her only to see Fu Hua standing there with a calm look on his face.


    Jia Li did get any enthusiasm from his tone, but she replied anyway.


    "Good! Now I''m sure you can answer my questions." Fu Hua said as he approached her with his hand in his pockets.


    Jia Li shifted to his side of the bed as she thought he was definitelying to interrogate her, but there was no crime shemitted she could think of.


    "Why are you moving away? Are you guilty of any crime?." Fu Hu asked with a smile that was not a smile.


    "What are you talking about?." Jia Li asked with a frown.


    "Why didn''t you tell me about FangSu calling the servant to the Fu House?." Fu Hua asked without a smile.


    Jia Li looked surprised as she asked, "Who told you about it?."


    "You hid something like this from me, what was your intention?." Fu Hua asked as he climbed on the bed.


    Jia Li immediately got out of bed as she has been on alert."I didn''t want you to worry."


    "Are you sure you didn''t want me to worry? Howe it didn''t work?." Fu Hu asked as he got out of bed with his gaze on her.


    "I don''t know who told you about it, but you should me the person. If the person didn''t tell you about it, you wouldn''t have been worried." Jia Li replied with a pout.


    "What if the person was grandpa?." Fu Hua asked.


    "Grandfather? No, you can''t me grandfather, he is right. He cares about me and didn''t want me to get hurt, so he good you about it." Jia Li replied immediately.


    She loved the old man so much, so how could she let him take the me?


    "What if it wasn''t grandfather?." Fu Hua asked with an interested gaze. He was really looking forward to her reply.

 Chapter 267 - Jasmine

    <h4>Chapter 267 - Jasmine</h4>


    At the end of the day, Fu Hua caught Jia Li and he pinched her cheeks till she promised not to keep anything from him and only then did he let her go.


    Fu Hua didn''t say anything about his sister, who knows what he was thinking? ????


    After dinner, Fu Hua asked Jia Li toe over to his bedroom and this was her reply...


    "No, I''m afraid you will pounce on me."


    "What! I thought you missed me?" Fu Hua asked with a surprised gaze.


    "I missed you but I only want hugs, kisses, and cuddles from you, I don''t want the other one." Jia Li confirmed.


    Fu Hua closed in on her and leaned over to ask, "Which other one?"


    For fear that he would really collide with her, Jia Li ced her hands ???? on his chest to stop him from leaning closer than he was.


    "You know what I''m talking about." Jia Li replied with a pout.


    Fu Hua raised his fingers to flick her forehead but then remembered how she cried the first time he did that and he ended up patting her hair instead.


    "What are you thinking? I only want to read books to our princess and talk about things to get for her in the big mall tomorrow." Fu Hua revealed.


    "You should have said that sooner." Jia Li muttered under her breath and they both left to her bedroom.


    The next morning, after they got off the bed, they freshened up and Fu Hua picked a dress for Jia Li. Jia Li became used to him picking dresses for her, so she had no qualms.


    After getting dressed, they went down for breakfast, before leaving the house with two servants, who came with them in a different car.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua enjoyed this spectacr shopping experience. There was a smile on their faces when they went to the baby''s part of the high-end mall.


    Jia Li couldn''t get over the cuteness of the baby stuff. She was smiling so much that her cheeks began to hurt.


    She kept touching things and saying...


    ''how cute''


    ''Oh! this is beautiful!''


    ''This looks so small.''


    ''I love everything here!''


    Fu Hua''s heart softened by seeing the baby things but he was not smiling like his baby-wife who was very free with expressing her feelings in public.


    Fu Hua had a hard time keeping his wife in check. His little woman was amazed at everything in this section that she was all over the ce.


    The servants that followed them found their Mistress''s attitude so cute. They chuckled softly and hid their smile with their hands.


    While shopping, Jia Li felt like packing everything in the mall and thank God for the list they madest night, otherwise, she would have really gone out of order and bought things that wouldn''t require.


    Thanks to Dr. Clinton who helped them with a list, plus their research on the inte, they were able to put up a good list.


    Fu Hua put in a lot of hard work, shopping with Jia Li. Just like she wanted, they picked their baby girl''s things, in yellow and other warm colors.


    "Do you think they would be done with the painting and decors by the time we finish?" Jia Li asked as they walked to the clothing section.


    "Of course not. We''ve been out here for only 3 hours. You spent over an hour admiring everything here and the rest was spent on you deciding to pick between two simr items." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    "Are you ming me?" Jia Li asked with a smile.


    "How dare I?" Fu Hua said as he hugged her waist and only then did she turn away.


    Last night, they had searched for beautiful designs for their baby''s nursery, until they found the best option before Fu Hua sent the picture to an Interior decorpany to handle. He also made some adjustments to it.


    "I don''t think we can shop for everything today. I don''t want to buy anything in a rush." Jia Li said with an excited smile.


    ''I know you want toe back here.'' Fu Hua thought to himself.


    "Let''s leave her clothes, for now, we have to get other items for the room and the clothes will be for the next time we woulde here." Jia Li nodded in response.


    As they passed the clothing section, Jia Li couldn''t keep her eyes off the beautiful cute dresses she was seeing. Fu Hua had to hold her hand and walked over to another section for their baby''s stuff.


    They picked everything rted to the bath items, feeding supplies, car seats and grooming and first aid items.


    They decided to shop for the rest of the items, another day.


    Fu Hua took Jia Li back home for lunch. As he didn''t want her to eat anything unhealthy outside and also because he wanted her to strictly follow the diet ns mapped out for her, he passes some walnuts to her, so she could munch on while they got to the house.


    Despite being hungry, Jia Li wanted to go to the nursery when she heard they were still working on it, but Fu Hua stopped her.


    "Eat first." He said.


    After eating, Jia Li went to see the nursery with Fu Hua. She was really excited when she saw the warm yellow color used on the wall.


    Her baby''s crib was white and there were some other warm colors in the room used, ording to baby psychology.


    Since it was a nursery, it would be beneficial for the baby if warm colors were used. When she turns 1-2 years, her nursery could be turned into a princess styled with mostly yellow decors Jia Li hoped for.


    At night, Jia Li couldn''t hide how happy she was. She felt that having a baby was the greatest achievement she has done and now, she couldn''t wait for her to be born.


    Laying in Fu Hua''s arms, they were thinking of a name for their child, as they both had their eyes fixed on the tablet in Fu Hua''s hands.


    "Grandfather would like to name the child, so we have to pick one name for her." Fu Hua reminded her.


    "That''s true. Grandfather loves me dearly and the child as well, so of course he would like to name our baby." Jia Li said after being reminded.


    "So, what name do you suggest?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Will you listen to me then?" Jia Li asked with a smile.


    "Of course, I will." Fu Hua replied.


    Jia Li stared at him for a while to be sure he was serious. Given the way he was always all about their child, she thought they would bicker on what to name their child since they only had to pick one. But thankfully, the bickering wouldn''t be happening.


    "I will give her a nickname, Jasmine." Jia Li replied with a sweet smile.

    <h4>Chapter 268 - Sunny Won It</h4>


    "That''s a beautiful name." Fu Hua said with a gentle gaze.


    "You agree with me?" Jia Li asked with a smiling gaze.


    "Yes, I do. It''ste already, get some sleep." Fu Hua said as he put the tablet down and covered their bodies with the duvet.


    Jia Li smiled and shut her eyes with her head on his chest. But when she felt the baby kick, she opened her eyes and brought Fu Hua''s hand to her baby bump.


    "The baby just kicked." Jia Li said happily.


    Just then, Fu Hua felt the kick and caressed her baby bump and said soothingly, "Little princess your mother needs to sleep, get some rest as well."


    "Her name is Jasmine." Jia Li said with her gaze on him.


    "She is also my little princess." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    Who knew that was the nickname he gave to his beloved cute daughter. ????????


    He didn''t want to drag names with Jia Li, so his method was truly the best.


    Jia Li didn''t think there was anything wrong and agreed with him but it looks like their little princess was very disobedient tonight, she wanted to y.


    Jia Li had to sing a nursery rhyme to her and Fu Hua joined while caressing the baby bump. They only fell asleep after their little one became calm.


    A few dayster, the nursery was ready. Jia Li and Fu Hua finished the rest of the important decor. They picked the items and arranged them by themselves.


    At the end of everything, the nursery was looking really colorful and beautiful as well. Jia Li took some pictures and sent them to her friends and allowed them to gawk over them.


    In the evening, Fu Hua gave Jia Li a foot massage. It was rare for her feet to be swollen, but today it was swollen.


    "You really shouldn''t stand for a long time." Fu Hua said to her as he massaged her foot.


    "Okay. I have to go for antenatal care tomorrow, will you be free toe with me?" Jia Li inquired.


    "The internalpetition is starting tomorrow and I have to be there. But don''t worry, I don''t want to miss any of the doctor''s appointments, I wille with you." Fu Hua replied.


    As he promised, the next morning, Fu Hua took Jia Li to the private hospital for her doctor''s appointment.


    Their baby was all grown up now and everything was fine with her.


    "Doctor, it''s my baby fat?" Jia Li asked with her gaze on the monitor.


    The doctor smiled and replied, "She is not fat, she is just a little chubby."


    "Oh!" Jia Li sighed.


    "Are you scared of having a difficultbor?" Dr. Clinton asked with a smile.


    Jia Li nodded in response. She was scared that having a fat baby will make her have a difficultbor.


    "Don''t worry, it won''t happen. Your health is okay and you''re doing fine with the diet. Continue with the exercises, I will send a coach to you to help with your exercises. Drink enough water every day and eat enough fruits. Don''t skip your drugs. If you notice anything you don''t understand, I am a phone call away." Dr. Clinton said to her.


    "Thank you, Doctor!" Jia Li and Fu Hua said in unison.


    Jia Li got a picture of their baby''s scan and after Fu Hua dropped her off at home, she began to write in a journal she created since she first found out she was pregnant.


    She wrote the day''s date on a fresh page of the journal. She pastes the picture of the baby''s scan there and began to write down what urred at her doctor''s appointment, her and Fu Hua''s reaction, and her thoughts.


    She ended the note with, ''I love you, Jasmine and Daddy love you a lot as well!''


    The internalpetition for FJ Style''s Chief Designer, took 3 days before it came to an end. It was one of the most intensepetitions in thepany.


    On the 4th day, Sunny emerged as the winner with a total of 50 points. The person following after her, had 35 points, and the remaining 15 points were earned by the 2nd runner up.


    What an intensepetition!


    Sunny received praises from her colleagues and the people under her. This was the 2nd time she was winning the Chief Designer''s title.


    Sunny wanted to treat everyone to dinner, she invited Fu Hua but he rejected her but his tone was soft.


    "I can''t stay outte, my wife and..." He wanted to say ''my child'' but he refrained from doing that. He would make the big announcement after the little princess has been born.


    Sunny understood he didn''t want to stay outte, as he had someone waiting for him. It was difficult to ask their Cold CEO out but she just tried. She didn''t feel bad that her invitation was rejected. She bowed to Fu Hua before leaving his office.


    When Fu Hua came back home, Jia Li was with her puppies in the sitting room while watching a movie but Ocean was nowhere to be seen.


    Fu Hua frowned and was about to reprimand her when he saw the puppies lying beside her on the couch but Jia Li came to him and hugged his arm with an excited gaze.


    Fu Hua looked at the ce she had touched and frowned. He knew she had carried and touched the puppies and now she used those same hands on him.


    ''Ah! I will forgive you because I need to change my clothes, anyway.'' Fu Hua thought as he took deep breaths to extinguish his annoyance.


    Jia Li was unaware of his emotions. She weed him back and immediately asked about the results of thepetition.


    "Sunny won it." Fu Hua replied.


    "Wow! I''m happy for her, she must be really good!" Jia Li praised happily.


    "You seem to like her." Fu Huamented.


    "Of course I do. I don''t know why I like her, I just feel that I would like to be close to her." Jia Li replied.


    "You are not allowed to be close to anyone apart from me." Fu Hua warned.


    "I knew you would say that! You''re so covetous!" Jia Li said with a pout.


    "How am I covetous, you belong to me already." Fu Hua said as he hugged her by the shoulder.


    Jia Li sighed and doesn''t say anything to him as she returned to sit with her puppies.


    Fu Hua frowned and asked, "Are you noting with me?"


    Jia Li took her puppies in her arms and turned to nce at him, "I can''t leave my babies alone but if you insist on meing along, then I will have to bring them along."


    "Forget it!" Fu Hua said and strode away.


    Jia Li was not surprised. She knew he would never allow her to bring the puppies into his bedroom but she didn''t want to leave them alone as well.

 Chapter 269 - High Possibility

    <h4>Chapter 269 - High Possibility</h4>


    "Mum, I heard brother is back." FangSu said in a scared tone.


    "Yes, he is back. What is wrong?" Fu Hee asked casually.


    FangSu hesitated a little before asking, "Do you think brother will punish me for what I did?"


    "I don''t know, just pray he doesn''t." Fu Hee replied and looked away from her. She was tired of everything.


    "Mum, when can I get my phone back?" FangSu asked with a frown. Grandfather had taken her phone away after apologizing to Jia Li that day.


    For a few days now, she has been bored out of her mind.. Her phone was taken from her, her bank ounts were frozen and she couldn''t leave the house, she was almost going crazy from the horrible situation she was in.


    "Why are you asking me?! Wait till the phone is returned to you. You should be thinking about getting a job and maybe your grandfather will let you leave the house." Fu Hee scolded her.


    "How can grandfather seize my phone, he wasn''t the one that bought it for me!" FangSu cried out of annoyance.


    "Does it matter now? Think about getting a job if you want to leave this house." Fu Hee said to her with a frown.


    She was annoyed at being distracted from reading thetest fashion trends on the FJ''s Styles magazine.


    "But how can I find a job while staying at home, I need to go out!" FangSuined.


    Fu Hee closed the magazine and kept it aside. "You can apply to work in FJ just like Meixu. You don''t need to go there, send your application online or get your brother to help you."


    "Mum, which of my brothers?" FangSu asked in a low tone. It was said she didn''t want anyone to hear her speak.


    "Fu Hua. He can directly help you enter since you''re his sister. Ah! I just remembered that you offended him, so he can''t help you!" Fu Hee said in an annoyed tone and drank from the ss of wine on the table before her.


    The mother and daughter pair were enjoying a bottle of wine while sitting and chatting close to the garden.


    "Mum, are you making fun of me?" FangSu asked with a frown. Her mother was being sarcastic with her and she didn''t like that.


    "Why can''t I make fun of you? When I warned you about not causing more trouble, did you listen to me?" Fu Hee asked with a haunting gaze.


    She was so annoyed with her daughter for ignoring her warnings and getting into trouble again and again.


    FangSu felt her heart was suffocating. She was so pained and needed to shout but she held it in. She took a deep breath before saying in a pleading tone...


    "Mum, can you help me beg brother to take me in?"


    "I''m not helping you. Your brother doesn''t listen to me, talk to him yourself." Fu Hee said without a care.


    "Mum, you know I can''t ask him for a favor, just help me out, just this once." FangSu pleaded.


    Fu Hee got to her feet with the magazine in her hand, she was ready to go back into the house. "Do as I instructed first. I''m going back inside the house."


    Seeing that her mother was about to leave, FangSu stopped her in an anxious tone. "Mum wait!"


    "What is it?" Fu Hee asked as she stopped in her steps.


    "Can I make use of your phone to call someone?" FangSu requested in a polite tone.


    "Who do you want to call?" Fu Hee inquired with a frown.


    FangSu was quiet as she was scared of bringing up Bai Jun''s name.


    Seeing her quiet she was, Fu Hee guessed who she wanted to speak to and red at her.


    "Are you trying to put me into trouble? You must be crazy!" Fu Hee said and walked away angrily.


    FangSu quickly chased after her to continue pleading with her but she didn''tply.


    Meanwhile, Bai Jun has been worried sick as she has been unable to reach FangSu.


    "Mum, do you think something happened to her?" FangSu asked in a worried tone while pacing back and forth in the living room.


    "You have been unable to reach her for more than a week now, forget it, it looks like she has met the same fate as her mother." Bai Fen said as she took a bite from her apple.


    "What! ???? are you saying it''s likely that FangSu has been punished by her grandfather?" Bai Jun asked in surprise as she walked back to her mother''s side.


    "There is a high possibility of that happening." Bai Fen replied. She didn''t look surprised at the situation, she has experienced that before.


    "Mum, if that is so, how can you be so carefree at this point! Who will help me out now?!" Bai Jun asked in a worried tone as she almost shed tears.


    "Don''t be too bothered, there will always be a n B. Learn a lesson from this, you don''t put all your eggs in one basket." Bai Fen said with her gaze on her.


    Bai Jun sat beside her and asked anxiously, "Mum, what''s the second n?"


    "You have to get into FJ first, then we can make further ns ourselves without any help from the Fu family but it would be good if FangSu will still be useful." Bai Fen replied.


    "I have to get into FJ as soon as possible. I need to get a foothold there before that woman joins, so I can bully her to death!" Bai Jun said in a menacing tone.


    "You need to make the perfect CV, go and work on it. If you need help, let me know about it. Remember, we have to be discreet." Bai Fen reminded with a smile.


    In the middle of the night, Jia Li woke up and went to the bathroom. She returned a few minutester and left for the workshop. She got a powerful inspiration while sleeping and she wanted to work on it immediately.


    It''s been over 20 minutes since Jia Li started working on her inspiration. She felt a little hungry and decided to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.

 Chapter 270 - Mind Blowing

    <h4>Chapter 270 - Mind Blowing</h4>


    Fu Hua woke up and couldn''t find Jia Li on the bed. He thought she was in the bathroom and called for her but he didn''t hear any response.


    An ominous feeling came over him and he got out of bed immediately and walked into the inner room.


    He checked the bathroom and the walk-in closet but he didn''t find her. He sighed in relief. He thought something had happened to her.


    Fu Hua picked up his phone and put it in his pocket and left the room and went in search of her. He first stepped into her bedroom but the lights were not even turned on. He called her name a few times before turning off the lights and leaving.


    ''Where could she be?'' Fu Hua thought as he walked along the corridors. His gazended on the tightly shut doors of the workshop.. He didn''t think she would be there but he had an urge to check, so he made his way towards the door.


    When he opened the door, he saw that the lights were turned on but he didn''t see her in the workshop. He knew she had been there since the lights were turned on.


    The only thing that made him walk in was because he knew she wouldn''te to the workshop in the middle of the night if it wasn''t rted to fashion illustration.


    He walked towards her desk and saw a half-finished draft of what seemed to be a dress. It wasn''t painted. The dress was only ready from the neck to the burst area, one of two hands has been fixed, and the other hand hasn''t been drawn yet.


    Picking up the digital graphics drawing tablet, Fu Hua nced at the illustration closely before putting it back down.


    "She woke up in the middle of the night for this?'' Fu Hua said with a small smile.


    As put the tablet back on her desk, his eyes caught sight of what looks like a sketchbook he found familiar. He suddenly remembered that he had actually seen it during a video with Jia Li while he was away.


    He smiled and picked it up while wondering what his little wife has been hiding from him. When he opened the cover page, he saw Jia Li''s initials written on the first page, ''JL''


    He went on to flip over to the next page. He was wowed by the first illustration he saw there. He thought his wife really had a talent and went on the flip to the second page.


    Fu Hua felt he was seeing another side of his wife and he termed it, ''Unrestrained''.


    "How could she be this good?" He thought as he continued studying the third illustration.


    Flipping over to the next page, he saw a provocative style of illustration. Under the illustration, the words ''Appealing'' was written on it and Jia Li''s signature was beside it.


    All of the designs in this sketchbook had a title and Jia Li''s signature under it.


    Fu Hua couldn''t believe his little wife was so good. And as he flipped over to the next page, he didn''t manage to get a good look because Jia Li walked in at this time with a cup of tea and a te of biscuits.


    Jia Li looked surprised to see him. She was a little dumbfounded and asked, "What are you doing here?"


    "I came to find you. I have finally seen what you''ve been hiding from me." Fu Hua said with a smile as he raised the sketchbook to her.


    Jia Li''s eyes widened in shock and immediately said to him while hurrying over to his side, "Who asked you to touch my things, put it down!"


    "Slow down!" Fu Hua said to her in a worried tone but Jia Li was not hearing that. She put down her snacks and tried to get her sketchbook from him but he raised it high above her reach.


    "Why are you in a hurry?" Fu Hua asked.


    "You... give it back!" Jia Li demanded in an annoyed tone. She had her hands on her waist as she gazed at him furiously.


    Fu Hua found her really cute. Since she became pregnant her skin has been glowing and she has been looking more beautiful as the day goes by. He felt like pinching her cheeks but he wasn''t ready to let her sketchbook go just yet, he wasn''t yet satisfied with teasing her. He really wanted to get on her nerves.


    Fu Hua chuckled and wanted to get a picture of her posing like a stubborn little woman.


    He took out his phone from his pocket with one hand while the other hand was still raised above his head.


    Jia Li was still in the same posture when he took her picture. She was really mad at him.


    "Are you bullying me?" She asked.


    "I''m not. What''s your reason for hiding these mind-blowing designs from me?" Fu Hua inquired.


    "Fu Hua, give it back to me!" Jia Li said and stomped her right foot but she immediately frowned in pain as she held her baby bump with her hands.


    Fu Hua was so scared for her and immediately put the sketchbook down. He was about to ask what happened when Jia Li picked up the sketchbook


    "Don''t touch my things!" Jia Li said and pulled out her chair to sit. Fu Hua was a little lost.


    "Did you y a trick on me?" He asked.


    "Jasmine, tell your father not to disturb me." Jia Li said as she pushed the cup of tea and te of biscuits to her side.


    Fu Hua stole one of her biscuits and walked towards his desk. He could imagine Jia Li''s angry gaze on him and a smile appeared on his face.


    "Thief!" Jia Li cursed under her breath before taking a bite from the piece in her hand.


    "You are so talented and since you are a bit popr, you canunch your clothing line at the right time." Fu Hua said after he sat down.


    "I had wanted to sell my designs while climbing thedder." Jia Li replied as she put the special sketchbook on her desk.


    "Don''t do that now, it will be a big loss. When you make a name for yourself, your talent will have an outstanding price tag. A piece of your work will be worth a lot and people will pay any amount just to have it." Fu Hua revealed to her.

 Chapter 271 - Receiving His Care

    <h4>Chapter 271 - Receiving His Care</h4>


    "What do you suggest?" Jia Li asked in a curious tone.


    "When you get into FJ, I promise to help youunch your clothing line if you put in a lot of effort, I will help you stand alongside me." Fu Hua promised. He admired his wife''s creative mind and he had respect for her working spirit.


    "Launching my clothing line with FJ?" Jia Li asked with a shocked gaze. She couldn''t believe that she just heard.


    It was as if he was telling her she could pluck the stars from the sky and keep them for herself which was not possible. Jia Li saw that as an impossible height to reach.


    "Anything is possible. Don''t sell your designs yet get into FJ first. But don''t take too long with showing us your hidden talents and I will push you to stardom.." Fu Hua added with a smile.


    Fu Hua thought for a while and added, "I can not let your gift die, we are not going to have another child till a few years, the world needs to see you."


    Jia Li was distracted by his words and was lost in thoughts for a while before going back to continue with her illustration. Fu Hua had just fueled her enthusiasm and she was ready to work.


    Fu Hua didn''t say anything more and opened hisptop to work.


    When Jia Li was done with her illustration, she massaged her temples and was ready to go back to bed.


    "Are you through, can I see it?" Fu Hua asked as he gazed at her.


    "I want to sleep." Jia Li said with a frown.


    Fu Hua saved his work and closed hisptop before leaving his desk. He went to meet Jia Li and picked up the tablet. When he saw the beautiful piece alive on the screen, he smiled.


    "This should be a masterpiece. How about I buy it from you?" Fu Hua suggested with a smile.


    Jia Li nced at him with a profound gaze. "You just told me not to sell my designs, why did you change your mind?"


    "I''m different. I will help you make the dress and you will contact Sunny and ask if FJ would be interested to buy the rights to it. I will help to write the message and send it on your behalf. Sunny will love it and since she knows I like your designs, she will mention it to me." Fu Hua said as he winked at her.


    Jia Li understood the meaning behind his words and she smiled happily. "Alright! I will listen to you, Boss."


    Fu Hua was trying to help her establish a ce in the Fashion Industry and she was grateful for her kind intentions.


    All these ns he had for her would help to make her more popr and she might get private orders from people of the high ss to customize dresses for them.


    Without his help, it might take long years before she gets noticed. Maybe if he didn''t help her, grandfather Fu would have done that.


    Fu Hua led Jia Li back to his bedroom to get some sleep.


    At Jia Li''s ninth month of pregnancy, Fu Hua started working from home.


    In the morning, he would join her for exercises and have breakfast together before they would go into the workshop to do some work. At times, Jia Li would abandon him and spend time with her pets.


    Her puppies were really growing well and each time she put them next to her on the couch, they would inch closer to her seeking her attention. Sometimes, they would nudge at her baby bump.


    In the evenings, Jia Li would stroll with Fu Hua and her pets. Fu Hua found Ocean and the puppies annoying but he didn''t reject theirpany since his little wife liked them.


    At night before going to bed, Fu Hua would massage Jia Li''s feet, back and shoulders and dress the bed so she couldy downfortably.


    Due to the weight of her baby, she would have swollen feet a few times but the backache was just there. Dr. Clinton rmended some items to get to help relieve her of the back pains.


    Twice in a week, Jia Li would receive a call from the old man and he would send her different kinds of healthy soups ???? a few times a week.


    Fu Hee who was her mother-inw called once in a Blue Moon and that was enough for Jia Li.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua were still silent about a matter, they have refused to reveal their baby''s gender to anyone.


    They said to those that kept asking, "When the baby is born, we will reveal it."


    Fu YingPei visited thrice because of work but each time he came, he would be served a table of dishes ording to Jia Li''s instruction, then they would sit and chat until Fu Hua asked him not toe over again.


    Jia Li was annoyed andined, "I''m so bored, why did you ask him not toe again, who will chat with me?!"


    "I will chat with you! Come find me whenever you want." Fu Hua said with his gaze on her.


    Jia Li was sitting on the foot of the bed with a frown. She was annoyed at him.


    "Let''s go for a walk outside." Fu Hua said as he helped her to put on a pair of slipper.


    Jia Li allowed him to hold her hand before leaving the bedroom together. It was summer already, so they worefortable clothes that wouldn''t make them sweat more especially Jia Li who easily felt hot.


    Since the sun had set, it wasn''t sunny outside.


    "I can''t believe we have 3 weeks before our baby is out." Jia Li said with a smile as she put one hand on her baby bump and caressed it.


    Fu Hua smiled as he gazed at the baby bump before looking at her. "I can barely wait."


    "I''m going to see Doctor Clinton tomorrow and I might take some time as I have an activity with other expectant mothers." Jia Li replied.


    "I will join you." Fu Hua replied.


    During the antenatal sses, the expectant mothers were taught how to take care of their newborns, from feeding to bathing and normal care. Some basic knowledge was also shared with them.


    Fu Hua was interested in learning so he could help to take care of his little princess when she was born.

 Chapter 272 - A Normal Process

    <h4>Chapter 272 - A Normal Process</h4>


    In thest Antenatal sses Jia Li went for, Fu Hua was not with her. He dropped her off and went to sit in the car. They were teaching them the three stages ofbor and he wasn''t allowed.


    While Jia Li was learning, Fu Hua was in the car thinking about her Birthday which was in a few days.


    He was thinking of what to do for her. Throwing a party is not an option in her condition, as she was not herself these days. The baby was alsoing in a few days as well, therefore, it wasn''t appropriate.


    After sses, Jia Li texted Fu Hua, so he coulde with her to see the doctor.


    After putting her phone back in her bag, Jia Li felt a powerful kick from the baby and her face squeezed in pain with her hand on that area that was kicked.


    A nurse nearby came to her side and held her arm as she asked in a worried tone, "Ma''am, are you okay?"


    "I''m fine." Jia Li replied as she slowly regained herself.


    "Do you want to sit?" The nurse inquired and slowly let go of her arm.


    "No thank you, there is no need." Jia Li replied when she caught sight of Fu Hua.


    The nurse saw Fu Hua and moved a few steps away from Jia Li.


    "Are you okay?" Fu Hua asked worriedly after he saw her face wasn''t looking good.


    Jia Li smiled, "I''m fine. Jasmine kicks so strongly."


    "I''m sorry. I guess she can''t wait to be out." Fu Hua replied with a hand over her baby bump. He had an affectionate gaze while doing so.


    "Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu, Dr. Clinton is waiting." The nurse by the side reminded them with a polite smile.


    Fu Hua ced his hand behind Jia Li, as they followed the nurse to Dr. Clinton''s office which was upstairs.


    Dr. Clinton chatted with them for a short while. She talked to Jia Li about thebor stages she learned before going on to perform a pelvic examination.


    Fu Hua insisted on going with her and Jia Li rxed a bit. With her husband there, she didn''t have to worry much.


    While performing the pelvic examination, Jia Li screamed and held unto Fu Hua''s hands.


    Fu Hua could onlyfort her with worry written all over his face.


    The doctor apologized and proceeded to them what she examined.


    "Your baby has engaged, I can feel her head in the amniotic sac, and she is looking towards your left hip bone."


    Jia Li let out a deep breath as the doctor pulled his fingers out of her.


    "When will the babye out?" Fu Hua asked worriedly.


    "Her cervix has already begun to open at two finger-breadths. Labour should start soon. Bring her back in 2 days, along with the bag." Dr. Clinton replied while cleaning Jia Li up before going on to show them their baby on the screen.


    The bag she was talked about was knownmonly as thebor bag, which Jia Li had packed in preparation for the birth of her baby.


    Jia Li was nervous and her blood pressure rose when the doctor was checking it.


    "Calm down and take deep breaths. Don''t think too much about thebor, it''s a normal process for you to deliver your little princess." Dr. Clinton assured her with a smile.


    "I don''t know but I can''t seem to calm down." Jia Li replied while taking in deep breaths. Fu Hua rubbed her back and tried tofort her as well.


    Fu Hua could understand what Jia Li was going through. Giving birth to a child was not an easy task and it came with a lot of risks as well. He was worried about her and didn''t know what else to do than tofort her.


    "It''s normal to be nervous after hearing your baby would be out in 2-3 days. You''ve been expecting her for a long time and now she will be out, you are nervous to meet her. Just try to take deep breaths. Go on and practice the breathing exercises you were taught." Dr. Clinton said as she took off her gloves, while the nurse took away the equipment for taking her blood pressure (Sphygmomanometer).


    Fu Hua stood and watched Jia Li practice her breathing exercises till her nerves slowly rxed.


    Surprisingly, Dr. Clinton handed her about 5 lollipops ????"Take them, it will help to calm your nerves down anytime you feel nervous."


    "Thank you!" Jia Li said and took the sweets from her.


    "Don''t eat too much of them." Dr. Clinton advised with a smile.


    Before they left, Dr. Clinton reminded Jia Li of the exercise to practice before shees back to the hospital.


    "...eat healthily, you will need a lot of strength to push your baby out. Take walks as often as possible. Climb the stairs in your house, all these will help to facilitate thebor."


    On their way back home, Fu Hua kept ncing between the road, Jia Li and the baby bump.


    "Stop staring at me and keep your eyes on the road, you are going to get us in an ident." Jia Li said in a low tone.


    "I''m so worried about you." Fu Hua confessed. He should be encouraging her but he was more scared than her.


    "Well, you''re making me worried. When we get home, you can look at me all you want." Jia Li replied with creased brows.


    "Alright, I will listen to you. Do you want anything? Do you want to go somewhere?" Fu Hua asked with his eyes on the road.


    "I want to go to the children''s park." Jia Li replied and let out a deep breath.


    "What? Why would you want to go there?" Fu Hua asked in surprise. He was thinking she wanted to go there to y and that made him surprised.


    "I just want to sit there and eat cotton candy while watching the children y. I need to calm down." Jia Li replied.


    "Okay, but that ce is usually busy. You have to let me hold your hands okay?" Fu Hua replied. Since she wanted to calm her nerves, then he would let her. He was only scared that the park would be bustling with people and she may be bumped into by a child or an adult.

 Chapter 273 - Contractions

    <h4>Chapter 273 - Contractions</h4>


    Jia Li sat in the children''s park with her gaze on the children that came to y with their parents. while eating cotton candy.


    She had a peaceful smile and Fu Hua noticed that. He felt at ease as she didn''t seem to be nervous anymore. He didn''t disturb her and let her watch the children ying happily.


    When Jia Li finished the cotton candy, she asked for more. "Can I have another one?"


    "Sure." Fu Hua replied without hesitating. "Don''t go anywhere, I will be right back." He added and went off to buy the cotton candy for her.


    When he left, Jia Li moved her gaze to her baby bump.. She caressed it with much love and her eyes turned teary. She covered her mouth and whimpered.


    "Jasmine, you will be out soon, mum and dad have already prepared everything while waiting for you. We hope you will be obedient and don''t stress me,e out quickly. We love you." Jia Li said in tears.


    Then when she thought about her deceased parents, she cried even more. They didn''t see her get married, they were absent during her graduation. When she gives birth, they won''t see their grandchild and for whatever happens in her new life, they will never witness it.


    Jia Li cried painfully for a short while before stopping. She wiped her tears right when she heard the footsteps approaching.


    When Fu Hua came back, he saw Jia Li still sitting in the same position but something was different about her. She looked sad and her eyes were red and wet from crying.


    He frowned and asked immediately as he sat beside her, "Why did you cry?"


    "Nothing. Can I have the cotton candy?" Jia Li asked with a smile as she stretched her hand out.


    Fu Hua handed the cotton candy to her while saying, "Don''t hide anything from me, you can share whatever that''s bothering you. Why did you cry when I left?"


    "I spoke to our baby and I missed my parents." Jia Li replied.


    Fu Hua sighed and hugged her shoulder. "You have me and the baby, don''t be sad anymore, it breaks my heart."


    "Do you know, I''m suddenly curious about my mother''s family." Jia Li said in a soft tone.


    "Do you need me to look for them?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.


    Jia Li squeezed his hand and said, "No need. I''m not ready to know who they are. I just want to live peacefully with you and our daughter, while pursuing my dreams."


    "Okay, we will do just that." Fu Hua replied with a smile and kissed her cheeks.


    "I want to take a walk before we go back home." Jia Li said.


    Fu Hua granted her wishes and they walked for about 20 minutes before driving back home.


    Jia Li had sumptuous food before summoning her pets to keep herpany. Fu Hua didn''t say anything and allowed her to do whatever she wanted.


    At that point, if she took her pets inside his bedroom, he wouldn''t mind provided they don''t climb his bed.


    "Ocean, Jasmine will be out in a few days. Your puppies will have a ymate now and I''m sure they will love her as you love me." Jia Li said to Ocean with a smile.


    Ocean nced at her and didn''t bark. She has long been instructed not to bark while inside the house. To show she agreed with what Jia Li said, she brought her face to her baby bump and sniffed it, before going back toy on the fluffy rug.


    Fu Hua who was sitting on another couch nced over with a frown. "Are you trying to make my daughter follow your habits of ying with dogs?"


    "Jasmine likes my pets already, she gets excited every time Avery and Archie get close to her." Jia Li reported.


    Fu Hua was speechless. He nced down and saw the puppies struggling to get into her arms. Actually, they were fighting for who would be in her arms.


    Fu Hua was annoyed and moved his gaze away. He would have walked away but he couldn''t do that. He needed to keep his eyes on her.


    "I need to go to the workshop in an hour and you''reing with me." Fu Hua said and looked away from her.


    Jia Li lifted Avery and whispered to her. "Somebody is jealous."


    Fu Hua was jealous and so asked her to follow him to the workshop in an hour but he still gave her enough time to y with her pets since it made her happy.


    Jia Li wanted to kiss Avery''s head when she noticed Fu Hua''s gaze on her. There were no emotions on his face, as he just sat there and gazed at her while waiting for her to kiss the puppy, so he could punish her.


    Jia Li let Avery go and pat the heads of the two puppies with a smile. Just then, a painful contraction hit her and she frowned and instinctively put her hands below her abdomen.


    Fu Hua rushed to her side and asked worriedly while holding her shoulder, "What''s wrong? Are you ufortable? Should I call the doctor?"


    "I''m fine. It''s just the normal contractions." Jia Li replied as her nerves slowly rxed.


    "Are you sure? This one looks painful." Fu Hua said with a worried gaze.


    "I''m fine. It''s normal for the contractions to go from mild to intense. I need to use the bathroom ???? you can send them away." Jia Li said as she tried standing to her feet.


    Fu Hua helped her up and walked beside her. "I will follow you."


    Jia Li couldn''t protest when she saw his worried gaze. She allowed him to follow her.


    Close to the stairs, Fu Hua saw a servant and instructed her to ask the caregiver to take Ocean and her puppies away.


    When they got to the bedroom, Jia Li told Fu Hua to sit and wait in her bedroom, while she went into the inner room.


    Jia Li took almost 10 minutes before she stepped out.


    "What''s going on? I almost came in now." Fu Hua asked.


    "Don''t be too worried about me. I''m fine. I had diarrhea." Jia Li replied and walked past him to sit on the bed.


    She was wearing a knee-length dress and when she sat with her legs open because of the baby bump, her dress went up a little and Fu Hua could see her thighs but he wasn''t interested. He was deeply worried about her.

 Chapter 274 - Surprise Pre-Birthday

    <h4>Chapter 274 - Surprise Pre-Birthday</h4>


    Jia Li followed the doctors'' instructions and practiced all her exercises. Her coach was a great help to her, helping her with back massages after practice.


    Jia Li drinks more sses of water as many times as possible, and that made her use the bathroom often. And the more she did that, the more her baby bump moved downwards.


    Fu Hua was never absent from her side. He was always there with her, reading stories to their baby and would always be in difort when she had contractions.


    ording to the timing in-between the contractions, the doctor was able to tell she was 4cm dted.


    "Take more walks. Climb and go down the stairs, drink more water and continue with your breathing exercises. Your husband should apany you and help to massage your back. Your room is being prepared and you cane to the hospital when you are already 5cm dted.." Dr. Clinton said to her.


    "Okay, thank you!" Jia Li said while breathing heavily. She was already tired and was in difort. She couldn''t wait for her baby to be out already so she could get herself.


    When Fu Hua came to serve her breakfast in bed, she wasn''t in the mood to eat. She was tired and asked him to send the food away.


    "You need strength to push the baby out. You are so young and innocent and that makes me worried about you. Try to eat something." Fu Hua said as he put the tray on the bed.


    Jia Li wasn''t having that. She immediatelyshed out at him. "I''m young and innocent? You should have thought about that before you got me pregnant!"


    Fu Hua was taken aback by her outburst. He was deeply surprised and stared at her in shock. He was speechless and didn''t know what to say to her.


    Never in his life would he have thought that Jia Li would say those kinds of hurtful words to him.


    Jia Li didn''t care about his feelings. Another intense construction hit her and she squeezed her eyes shut with a hand over her abdomen.


    "Are you okay?" Fu Hua asked in worry. Seeing her in pain, made him forget how rude she was earlier.


    Jia Li opened her eyes and nced at him with reddened eyes. She was in pain and didn''t want to say anything to him.


    There was a moment of silence before Jia Li tried to get off the bed. When Fu Hua tried to help her, she didn''t reject his help, as she could barely help herself out.


    Fu Hua helped her to put on her slippers, before helping up.


    Jia Li walked to the bathroom herself and spent several minutes there. She cried her heart out. She was forced to stop crying when she heard Fu Hua calling out for her.


    She wiped her tears away and washed her face beforeing out. Seeing Fu Hua''s worried gaze on her, she became teary and went into his embrace to hug him.


    She didn''t mind the baby bump getting in her way, She hugged him and cried really hard. "I''m sorry." That was all that coulde out from her lips.


    She was sorry for speaking rudely to him, even when he was worried and cared for her. He didn''t deserve it and she knew he must have felt bad after sheshed out at him.


    Fu Hua''s heart melted. He didn''t have anything against Jia Li for acting that way but he was indeed hurt. Seeing her cry in his arms and apologize to him, he hugged andforted her.


    "Stop crying or our princess will be sad. I understand that you''re going through a lot now but everything will be fine."


    "Thank you!" Jia Li said softly.


    Fu Hua released her from the hug and wiped her tears before leading her to the bed.


    He made her sitfortably before sitting beside her and proceeded to feed her. Jia Li finished her food obediently before drinking a ss of water.


    "Your birthday is tomorrow." Fu Hua said with a smile while caressing her cheeks.


    Jia Li smiled and held onto his hands. "My birthday gift is already here and nothing else matters."


    "I still prepared a little something for you. I know the baby mightete into the night or tomorrow, so I had to fix a little something just for you." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    He knew she will not be in the mood to celebrate when she gives birth, so he had to arrange something for her at home.


    "What did you prepare for me?" Jia Li asked curiously.


    "You need to get freshened up first." Fu Hua said as he helped her out of bed.


    Minutester, Jia Li was dressed in a yellow sleeves dress Fu Hua prepared for her. She put on some earrings, a beautiful ne and a bangle. The only makeup on her face was the powder Fu Hua allowed her to rub and a nude lip gloss.


    Jia Li put on a pair of t silver shoes before Fu Hua led her downstairs and into the living room, which was decorated to celebrate her birthday.


    Jia Li was amazed as she slowly let Fu Hua''s hands go and walked the remaining steps into the living room.


    "OMG! I love this!" Jia Li said with her mouth agape while ncing over at him.


    "I know you will love it. Be careful of your steps." Fu Hua said with a smile as he walked towards her.


    Jia Li''s birthday cake had her age written on it ''24'' and it was decorated with the exact beautiful colors used for their baby''s nursery.


    The interior decors matched with the cake ???? as well. And most importantly, Jia Li was marveled at the gift boxes on the floor.


    "This is for me and the baby?" Jia Li asked in an excited tone.


    "Yes. Sit, everyone has been waiting for you." Fu Hua said as he helped her to sit on the couch.


    "Everyone?" Jia Li asked with a little confusion as she couldn''t see anyone in sight.


    "I know you''ve been ufortable these past few days and wouldn''t want arge crowd, so I got everyone to wish you a happy birthday this way." Fu Hua said as he picked up the remote and turned on the TV.


    There on the screen, Jia Li saw a video being yed. The video was made with clips from her family and friends wishing her a happy birthday.


    Each one of them talked about how they met her, what they liked about her and how good she has been to them.


    The way Fu Hua made the video, was very interesting. In the video, after the first question was written, everyone answered one after the other and it went that way till all the questions were answered. And atst, they wished her a happy birthday the same way.


    Jia Li was happy and shed tears of joy while watching the video.


    "How did you do that? I''m so grateful to you!" She asked.


    "Don''t thank me. I will do anything to make you happy." Fu Hua said as he hugged her.


    After calming down, Jia Li remembered something and said as she left his embrace, "I didn''t see you in the video."

 Chapter 275 - His Heart-warming Confessions

    <h4>Chapter 275 - His Heart-warming Confessions</h4>


    "Because I wanted to make my confessions to you directly." Fu Hua said as he took her hands in his and looked her in the eyes with a love-filled gaze.


    Jia Li was already excited to hear his confessions. She smiled and gazed at him affectionately and listened to what he has to say.


    "The first time I met you, I was attracted but I was already dating back then so I forced myself to kill my feelings. I noticed you were so innocent and kind and coupled with the fact that you didn''t know how to dress."


    At this point, Jia Li hit his arms gently and he took her hand back and continued..


    "I was deeply surprised when I learned about your major is fashion and designing. For someone that didn''t know how to dress, I didn''t believe you would do a good job in your major but you''ve proved me wrong. You are so talented and you have many crazy ideas and for that I have to be selfish and get you into FJ."


    Jia Li chuckled softly. She didn''t know he had this kind of respect for her talent and he wanted to keep her all to himself.


    Fu Hua smiled when she chuckled and continued, "I''m sorry for giving you a had time before we got married. I didn''t like being controlled and told what to do by anyone, but from now on, as long as you are the one, I don''t mind."


    "You''re so cheeky." Jia Li said as she chuckled. She was starting to be emotional already.


    Fu Hua squeezed her hands gently and continued with a smile, "You are so obedient and submissive. I love it when you throw tantrums, and it makes me know that you really love me. I''m sorry for not holding a wedding for you when we got married when you actually deserved one. I promise to hold a wedding and announce you to the world as my wife, soon."


    "I really don''t mind." Jia Li said with tears in her eyes. She didn''t mind that she was his hidden wife. She thought it was actually for the best. She wanted to qualify to be able to stand beside him.


    "Thank you for loving me and for carrying our child. I''m happy it''s 99% possible for you to share a birth date with our child. I promise to keep our love and what we share secured. I promise not to let anyonee between us. Jia Li, I love you! Happy Birthday my dear wife!" Fu Hua confessed with sincere feelings.


    His love for her was now boundless. He would do anything to make her happy and would go against anyone that disturbed her peace.


    Jia Li was already in tears by the time he made thest confessions. She couidn''t hold her tears back and cried with a hand over her mouth.


    "Thank you!" She said in a muffled voice.


    Fu Hua took out a handkerchief from his pocket and used it to wipe her face. "Stop crying or I will feel bad. Our princess will think I''m bullying you. And you still need to cut your cake."


    "Alright, I will stop crying." Jia Li said.


    Although she said that, she couldn''t stop her tears from falling.


    She couldn''t believe that one day, the cold man who didn''t seem to have feelings and emotions would be this good to her. She used to see imperfections in him but today, he was her Mr. Perfect. She was happy to be his Hidden Wife.


    "Sweetheart, you really need to stop crying. I asked the kitchen to make you so much delicious food. Won''t you like to try them all before we leave for the hospital?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Of course, I would love to try them all." Jia Li said as he wiped her tears away.


    Fu Hua put the handkerchief away and held her hands. He smiled and leaned in to kiss her forehead.


    "It''s time to cut your cake." Fu Hua said and released her. He pped his hands and hurried footsteps were heard.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua looked towards the direction the footsteps wereing from. Jia Li was surprised to see the servants dressed in birthday hats on their heads while singing a birthday song for her.


    Ocean and the puppies were not left out. They trailed behind the servants and it was really surprising to see the birthday hats fitting perfectly on their foreheads.


    Jia Li was overwhelmed. She covered her mouth with her hands and nced at Fu Hua with a surprised gaze. Never in life would she believe he would be so kind to her pets. He invited them for her pre-birthday party and she was so happy.


    Jia Li cut her birthday cake and took pictures with everyone. She was happy even though there were moments she felt the pain from the contractions.


    She took special pictures posing alone and with Fu Hua by her side before her pets joined. Jia Li took one more picture with the servants.


    Fu Hua fed Jia Li some pieces of cake. He allowed her to have a little champagne and try all the dishes he ordered for her.


    "Even if you don''t have an appetite you have to eat more. You need a lot of strength to push the baby out." Fu Hua reminded her.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li said to him with a smile.


    After eating, Fu Hua took her to the bedroom to change her clothes.


    While she was standing half-naked before him, he said, "I''m d the pregnancy didn''t ruin your body."


    He was happy she didn''t have stretch marks or he would be worried that she would be sad. He knew that pregnancy could ruin a woman''s body. Like putting on such weight be less pretty plus stretch marks. So, he was d that Jia Li only put on some weight and nothing more.


    "I wouldn''t have minded. But I have to keep my body in shape because of you." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    "I helped you shave a few days ago, do you think the hairs would have grown back by now? We have to prepare forbor, do you need me to help you shave onest time?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.


    "No, there''s no need. It''s still clean." Jia Li replied as she blushed a little.


    Fu Hua was talking about the hair on her pubic region. It was so embarrassing to have him help her shave some days ago. But it was the doctor''s instruction since she was heavily pregnant and couldn''t help herself.

 Chapter 276 - Keep An Eye On Her

    <h4>Chapter 276 - Keep An Eye On Her</h4>


    Fu Hua and Jia Li took a long walk before they sat under the shade for a while with Ocean and the puppies around her.


    When the contractions came really hard, Fu Hua would help herfort her.


    Ocean could feel what her owner was going through, so she was sad and would circle her. She didn''t want to bark and would only make low noises.


    Avery and Archie tried to get close to Jia Li, they wanted her to carry them in her arms but that wasn''t possible. Their mother stopped them from seeking attention from Jia Li.


    When walking and the contractions came, Jia Li would stand at one ce and wait for it to pass.


    In the evening, Jia Li had ''a show'' and her water broke, even though it wasn''t all that came out.


    Fu Hua was so scared and almost didn''t know what to do.. It was the Housekeeper that reminded him to call the doctor and take her to the hospital.


    "Keep an eye on her." Fu Hua said to the housekeeper while taking out his phone and giving Dr. Clinton a call.


    "Bring her in immediately. Pass the phone to her." Dr. Clinton instructed in a calm tone.


    Fu Hua quickly put the phone on Jia Li''s ear.


    "Mrs. Jia Li, I need you to keep calm, don''t panic. Continue with your breathing exercises, we are waiting here for you." Dr. Clinton said to her in a gentle tone.


    Jia Li who was almost losing it breathed heavily and thanked her.


    "I''m taking you to the hospital right away." Fu Hua said as he put his phone away and helped Jia Li up to her feet.


    "Sir, she needs to change her clothes." The housekeeper reminded him in a hurried tone.


    Fu Hua immediately asked the housekeeper and a servant to help Jia Li into one of the rooms downstairs, while he went up to up to bring a change of clothes, his car keys and Jia Li''s bag.


    When Fu Hua returned in less than 5 minutes, he handed the change of clothes to the housekeeper who asked him to wait outside.


    "Sir, we need to get madam ready, she can''t stain her clothes again." The housekeeper said in a respectful tone.


    Fu Hua understood and left to drive his car closer to the entrance of the house.


    The housekeeper and the servant passed the pad to Jia Li so she could put it on by herself as she didn''t want their help.


    Before Fu Hua could get to the door entrance, he saw theming out with Jia Li, who didn''t look so good.


    It was already pretty dark outside and thanks to the security light outside, they could see clearly.


    Fu Hua and Jia Li left for the hospital with two of the servants and a soldier in another car.


    "Hang in there, okay?" Fu Hua said to Jia Li in a worried tone. He was already perspiring from the tension.


    "Don''t worry too much, I''m fine." Jia Li said to him in a soft tone.


    When they arrived at the hospital, Dr. Clinton and two other nurses were already waiting outside for them. They immediately helped Jia Li to walk inside the building.


    "Mr. Fu, please wait outside. We have to examine her. I need to know how many fingers dtion she had left." One of the nurses said to Jia Li after she stopped him from following them inside the room.


    Fu Hua was pacing up and down the corridors while waiting for the doctor to be out.


    Some minutester, the doctor and the nurses came out with Jia Li.


    "Mr. Fu, there are still about 4 hours left before the dtion reaches 10cm. Take walks with her, a nurse will follow behind in case there is anything." Dr. Clinton said before he could ask any more questions.


    Fu Hua took Jia Li''s hands and walked away. While they strolled, they chatted about happy memories. Fu Hua was trying to help ease her pains and get her mind off them.


    The nurse who was following behind them smiled at them. She could feel the love between them.


    An hourter, Jia Li had to make use of the restroom. And as the contractions were nesting close to each other, she could no longer smile. Tears were already starting to gather in her eyes.


    All this while she has been trying to be a strong woman but it looks like she couldn''t keep up with it. Fu Hua couldn''t help her out at all. He could only say some words offort and ask her if there was anything she wanted.


    "I don''t want anything!" Jia Li cried out with tears in her eyes. She couldn''t endure the pain that was worse than period cramps.


    Fu Hua felt a pang of guilt hit him when he saw his beloved wife in that state. He didn''t understand why she had to go through so much pain to give birth to their child. He wished he could share the pain with her or endure everything on her behalf.


    "Nurse is there something you could do to ease her pain?" Fu Hua asked the nurse in a worried tone.


    "She has to continue practicing the breathing exercise. When we go inside, she can use the gas, it can help to relieve the pains." The nurse replied.


    Several minutester, they went inside for the doctor to examine her.


    "We don''t need to wait for 2 more hours, an hour is enough. Get something for her to eat and after that, she can start exercising to help with the dtion." Dr. Clinton instructed.


    When Jia Li was given food to eat, she rejected to eat. She couldn''t even sit at a ce. She was about to go crazy. Each time she wanted to scream, she would squeeze her fists.


    Fu Hua tried to convince her to eat but she didn''t listen to him. She almost pushed the tes away but thanks to the servants that carried them away immediately.


    The doctor encouraged her to drink more water before they brought her to use the thread mill.

 Chapter 277 - Jia Li Is In Labor

    <h4>Chapter 277 - Jia Li Is In Labor</h4>


    Several minutester, Jia Li was taken into thebor room and was given the gas to help relieve her pains.


    Dr. Clinton allowed Fu Hua to go in with Jia Li to be moral support for her.


    Fu Hua held her hand and said to her in a low tone, "Jia Li, I''m sorry that you have to go through all of these. I''m sorry that I can''t help you bear this burden."


    Jia Li wanted to take off the mask and reply to him but he stopped her. "Don''t say anything. Save your strength. I didn''t think things through before getting you pregnant. I''m sorry for all the pain you are going through."


    Jia Li cried silently.. She caressed her baby bump and spoke to the child silently. ''Jasmine, please be obedient ande out quickly, I''m tired.''


    The nurse didn''t allow Jia Li to inhale the gas for a long time, so she wouldn''t feel sleepy.


    When the doctor came to check on Jia Li again, she saw that it was almost time for thebor to begin and her water has finished breaking.


    "Her cervix has finished dting. We have to prepare for the birth of the baby." Dr. Clinton announced.


    At that moment, Fu Hua''s phone rang. He took it out of his pocket and was about to terminate the call when he saw the caller ID.


    "Jia Li, I have to take this call, it''s grandfather." Fu Hua revealed.


    "Mmm... pleasee back." Jia Li said to him tiredly.


    When Fu Hua saw her pleading gaze, even when he didn''t want toe back because he was scared of watching her be in pain, he just had to.


    "I wille back soon." Fu Hua replied before leaving.


    Outside the door, where the two servants were standing, Fu Hua shifted some steps away and answered the call.


    "Fu Hua, what took you so long to answer the call? How is Li girl?" Grandfather Fu asked after chiding him.


    "Grandfather, why are you still awake at this time?" Fu Hua asked. He didn''t want to reveal anything to the old man.


    It was almost midnight, around the time grandfather Fu called.


    "I just finished working on something important. I''m worried about Li girl and had to call. Is she sleeping already?" Grandfather Fu asked in a worried tone.


    Fu Hua sighed and nced at the door to thebor room. "Grandfather, Jia Li is fine, we are at the hospital."


    "At the hospital, by this time?" Grandfather Fu asked in surprise. Actually, he was more worried than surprise.


    "Yes, Jia Li is inbor." Fu Hua revealed.


    "Why didn''t you tell me sooner?!" Grandfather Fu said in a loud tone as he stood to his feet. He was currently in his study and when he heard that his favorite person was inbor, he was agitated.


    Butler Lu who was standing at the side didn''t know what was going on at the other end of the phone but he came close to the old man because he was scared he would bump into something.


    "Grandfather, I have to go now. Go to bed early."


    Fu Hua couldn''t stay long on the phone as Jia Li was waiting for him, so he had to end the call quickly.


    When he ended the call, he turned to the servants to instruct them, "If my grandfatheres around, have him wait at the reception room, don''t allow him toe close."


    After giving out that instruction, Fu Hua turned off his phone and walked into thebor room.


    "Lu, get the car ready, we are going to the hospital." Grandfather Fu instructed with urgency in his tone.


    Butler Lu took the order and left immediately. There was no time to start asking questions.


    That night, Fu ChunHua could not sleep because a servant came to knock on her door in the middle of the night.


    "What is your problem?!" Fu ChunHua asked with an annoyed tone after she opened the door for the servant.


    "I''m sorry, Ma''am. Old master asked for you to supervise the kitchen to make a healthy soup for Miss Jia Li." The servant reported with her head bowed. And there was a sense of urgency in her tone.


    "Why does the kitchen need to prepare soup by this time?" Fu ChunHua asked with a frown.


    She doesn''t get the point for that instruction. Jia Li was in her ce and why does she need the Fu House to make soup for her when she has people over there.


    "Ma''am, Miss Jia Li is inbor!" The servant revealed.


    Fu ChunHua was taken aback by the revtion. She thought she didn''t hear well and had to ask about information to be sure she heard clearly the first time. "What did you say?!"


    "Miss Jia Li is inbor and the old master instructed for the soup to be brought to the hospital immediately after preparation." The servant replied.


    "What about father, where is he?" Fu ChunHua asked as her face bloomed with a smile. She was so happy with this piece of good news.


    "Old master has already left for the hospital." The servant replied.


    Fu ChunHua was not surprised by the old man''s enthusiasm. He loved Jia Li so much and would do anything for her.


    "Give me a minute, I have to change my clothes." Fu ChunHua replied and went back inside to change her clothes.


    5 minutester, she came out and left with their servant. The chefs were already in the kitchen and waiting for her instructions.


    Fu ChunHua immediately gave out instructions for what kind of soup to prepare and everyone began to work immediately.


    On the way to the hospital, Grandfather Fu kept urging the driver to drive faster. Butler Lu tried to get him to rx and calm down.


    "Sir, you have to calm down because of your blood pressure."


    "Does it matter? Li girl is in the hospital, how can my heart be at ease? Back then when Fu Ju gave birth to Juan, she almost lost her life and that was where her bad health started." Grandfather Fu said in a tense tone.


    Butler Lu who was more worried about him said to him, "But Sir, you still need to calm down. If anything happens to you, you will be hospitalized and asked to rest for a long time before you see your great-grandchild."


    Grandfather Fu was not paying attention to his words, as he was thinking whether he should have taken the helicopter instead of traveling by car.


    "Should we have taken the helicopter?" Grandfather Fu said and that left Butler Lu speechless.

 Chapter 278 - The Birth Of The Little Princess

    <h4>Chapter 278 - The Birth Of The Little Princess</h4>


    When Fu Hua walked into thebor room, Jia Li was ready forbor. She was already in a position for pushing and delivering with the delivery mat under her. A drip was already connected to Jia Li''s veins and an injection was given to help start thebor off.


    Jia Li felt her heart rxed when she saw Fu Hua. She smile in between her tears and stretched her hand out to him.


    Fu Hua quickly went over to hold her hand. "Everything will be fine." He said while patting her hand.


    Jia Li had sweated a lot beforeing into thebor room, so her clothes were taken off but a sheet was used to cover her naked body.


    Jia Li nodded and shut her eyes. She was feeling so much movement within.. She wasn''t expecting the delivery to be that painful.


    "Mrs. Fu, please get ready to push when I tell you to." Dr. Clinton said to her.


    There were 2 doctors in the room including Dr. Clinton, plus 3 nurses, so Fu Hua was a bit reassured.


    The first stage ofbor took over 2 hours and Dr. Clinton said it was a miracle, as the first stage ofbor usuallysted between 6-12 hours. But in 2% of pregnancies, it doesn''t take that long.


    Jia Li pushed and screamed her heart out. She was in so much pain that she was forced to bear it.


    Fu Hua couldn''t believe what was going on. He was so tensed holding unto her hand. He didn''t dare to see what was going down there.


    Jia Li was encouraged when the doctor revealed that the baby''s head could be seen. Jia Li shed tears of joy. Fu Hua''s eyes reddened as he gently squeezed Jia Li''s hands.


    "We are almost there." Fu Hua whispered to her.


    The nurse took Jia Li''s hand and brought it over so she could feel her daughter''s head.


    "I can feel it." Jia Li said in excitement as tears rolled down her cheeks.


    "Mr. Fu, would you like to see your baby''s head?" The nurse asked.


    "No, I''m fine." Fu Hua rejected it. He didn''t think he could behold the sight of whatever was going on there.


    Fu Hua wiped Jia Li''s tears and spoke gently to her.


    "Our baby is almost here, you can do it. I''m sure she will be very proud of her brave mother, who fought to bring her into this world."


    The more Jia Li listened, the more she cried and the more she felt encouraged.


    She just felt her baby''s head and that was a marvelous feeling. Her Jasmine was here, she was bringing her into this world, she can''t give up.


    "Check the fetal heart monitor, we need to be sure the baby is coping well with thebor." The second doctor instructed.


    One of the nurses quickly checked and replied, "Everything is perfect, her heartbeats are steady."


    "Check on the mother." The doctor said in a soft tone.


    Dr. Clinton was busy helping Jia Li deliver the baby by giving her instructions.


    "Mrs. Fu, you''re a strong woman and you''re doing pretty well. Your little princess is cooperating as well. Stop pushing and pant in quick short breaths through your mouth."


    Fu Hua wasn''t surprised the doctor asked Jia Li to stop pushing because over the past 2 hours they''ve been on the first stage, Jia Li rested for a while and pushed only when contractions came.


    When the doctor was sure that Jia Li had taken enough deep breaths, she gave her an instruction to start pushing slowly so the baby can be slowly born, to avoid a tear in the perineum (the area between the vagina and back passage).


    When Grandfather arrived, the soldiers who were his bodyguards, quickly stepped out from the two cars that followed the old man with and surrounded the hospital in no time.


    Grandfather Fu quickly made his way inside the hospital with Butler Lu and two of the soldiers. He didn''t want to scare the people inside, so he only took those 3 with him.


    As Fu Hua instructed, the servants didn''t allow the old man toe towards thebor room. They took him to another ce to sit and wait.


    "How long have they been in there? How is Li girl?" Grandfather asked after he was forced to sit.


    "Old master, Madam is fine, they''ve been in there for 3 hours now." The housekeeper replied.


    "All of you can''t stop me from going to see Li girl. If I stay here, my blood pressure will only rise, I need to get close." Grandfather Fu said and got to his feet immediately.


    He was so tensed and worried that his hands were shaking. He could only feel at ease if he was close to thebor room.


    "Old master, our master ordered to keep you away from there because he was worried about your health." The housekeeper said while trying to reason with him but it turned out that it was a waste of time.


    "If you want me to be admitted to the hospital, then try to stop me." Grandfather Fu said strode away.


    No one dared to stop him after he just threatened them with his health. They could only follow him closely.


    When they all got close to thebor room door, the housekeeper and the other servant stopped the old man from getting too close.


    "Old Master forgive us but you can''t move closer than this or we will be scolded." Housekeeper Zu said to him with a bow.


    The old man didn''t intend to go to the room, he only wanted to get close to the door, as he was standing more than 10 steps away from the door.


    He was still trying to argue with them when they all heard Jia Li''s scream, which was immediately followed by the sound of a baby crying.


    It felt like time stopped for all of them. When they all heard the cries of the baby. Sighs of relief could be heard as happy smiles appeared on their faces.

 Chapter 279 - Da Xia

    <h4>Chapter 279 - Da Xia</h4>


    Grandfather Fu was so excited that he couldn''t wait to go in and see Jia Li and his great-grandchild.


    Inside thebor room, Fu Hua was almost in tears when he heard the loud wails of his princess. Jia Li was already crying. She made it!


    The new parents, watched their little daughter being cleaned up with joy in their hearts.


    Jia Li had no idea when the other doctor gave her another injection on her thighs because her eyes were on her baby.


    As it was time to deliver the centa, Jia Li gave an easy push and everything was over. Their little princess was still crying and that made their hearts ache.


    The baby was cleaned up with olive oil, next, her weight and measurements were taken before she was brought to Jia Li.


    One of the nurses pulled the cloth away from Jia Li''s chest, beforeying the little princess on her chest..


    "Jasmine." Jia Li whispered while holding onto her small body. There were only tears of joy on her face.


    A tear escaped from Fu Hua''s eyes when he finally met his daughter. His little princess had no wrinkles on her face and she look so small and cute.


    The little princess recognized her mother''s voice and it was soothing to her. She stopped crying immediately and rxed in her mother''s arms.


    "Jasmine, thank you for not troubling me." Jia Li said in a hoarse voice. She was so happy and couldn''t describe the immense joy in her heart.


    Fu Hua was still standing by the side. After finally meeting his little princess, he didn''t know what else to do again. He was too excited to react after the reality hit him.


    Jia Li got to cuddle the little princess for a short while before she was taken away by the nurse.


    "We need to dress her and take her out so we could clean you up." Dr. Clinton said to her with a smile.


    Jia Li understood but was reluctant to let her child go. Fu Hua kissed her forehead and whispered to her, "Congrattions! Our little princess has arrived, thank you for doing a great job."


    Jia Li nodded as they pressed their forehead together with their eyes shut while holding onto each other''s hands.


    After a minute had passed, Fu Hua slowly let her go. "The baby and I will be waiting for you." He said in a gentle tone as he gave her hand onest squeeze before leaving her side.


    After dressing the crying little Jasmine, the nurse handed her to Fu Hua.


    "Mr. Fu, hold your daughter." The nurse said with a kind smile. She had noticed that Fu Hua hasn''t touched or carried his child.


    Fu Hua didn''t need to be taught how to carry a child because he didn''t miss the antenatal ss when it was being taught.


    Fu Hua felt at peace when he finally held his daughter in his arms. The baby was still wailing when she heard her father''s familiar gentle voice. She stopped crying and gazed at him curiously. She couldn''t see anything well but she looked at him like she could see him.


    "It looks like she recognized your voice as well, congrattions!" Dr. Clinton and the other doctor congratted him happily.


    Fu Hua nced at Jia Li who had a tired gaze on them. He smiled at her before walking out with the baby in his arms and one of the nurses walked ahead to lead him to the room that was prepared for Jia Li.


    Outside the door, immediately as they walked out they were surrounded by the people outside.


    "Grandfather, what are you doing here?" Fu Hua asked but he didn''t look surprised.


    "I have to see my great-grandchild." Grandfather Fu said with an excited smile as he came to his side.


    Fu Hua brought the baby close so the old man could have a look. "It''s a girl." Fu Hua announced with a smile.


    "Good! Our Fu family has a princess now." Grandfather Fu said excitedly but he was sure to keep his voice down in other not to disturb the newborn who moved her eyes to him.


    "Where is Li girl? Is she okay?" Grandfather Fu asked with his gaze on Fu Hua. He was not worried because he could tell that Jia Li was okay by observing Fu Hua''s facial expression.


    "She is fine. She will be out soon." Fu Hua replied.


    "Congrattions master!" The servants greeted happily.


    Butler Lu was all smiles like the old man as he congratted the old man and Fu Hua.


    Fu Hua had a warm expression as he responded to their congrattory messages. He no longer had that cold attitude because his little princess was here.


    Grandfather Fu wanted to hold his great-grandchild, Fu Hua passed the obedient little girl to him.


    Jasmine frowned and was about to cry when Grandfather Fuforted her. "My good child, don''t cry."


    Jasmine moved a little in his arms, before rxing slowly.


    "Grandfather, what name will you give to her?" Fu Hua asked with a smile.


    "Da-Xia." Grandfather Fu responded with an excited gaze on Jasmine who let out a yawn while squeezing her eyes shut and moving her fists about.


    "Young Master, it means, ''Big Hero''. Old master spent a lot of time finding male and female names for the child. He didn''t know the baby''s gender, so he had to prepare both." Butler Li exined with a smile.


    "Jia Li will love the name." Fu Hua replied with a smile.


    "She will love it. Li girl has worked so hard, I am proud of her." Grandfather Fu said with a smiling gaze on the cute baby in his arms.


    Fu Hua took the baby back in his arms and asked his old man to go back and rest since he has seen his great-grandchild but the old man wasn''t moved. He insisted on staying till he saw Jia Li.


    Fu Hua didn''t force him. His old man was stubborn and as he was excited now, he can''t be convinced. Fu Hua followed the nurse to the room that was prepared for Jia Li with housekeeper Zu walking behind them.

 Chapter 280 - She Has Been Obedient

    <h4>Chapter 280 - She Has Been Obedient</h4>


    Jia Li was exhausted by the time she was wheeled out from thebor room. She could barely keep her eyes open.


    She had no idea that Grandfather Fu was present until she heard him call out to her with excitement.


    "Li girl!" Grandfather Fu called out happily as he walked to Jia Li. The doctors and the nurses bowed to him in greeting.


    Grandfather Fu greeted them before fixing his gaze on the exhausted Jia Li.


    "Grandfather, you''re here?" Jia Li asked in a hoarse tone. She looked very surprised to see him.


    Grandfather Fu gazed at her with a kind smile and took her hand in his. "Li girl, you have done well.. I am proud of you. Congrattions!"


    "Thank you, Grandfather!" Jia Li said with a smile.


    "Hmm... rest well, your Aunty is bringing a delicious meal for you. I wille backter to check up on you and my great-granddaughter." Grandfather Fu said to her while patting her hand.


    "Okay, grandfather." Jia Li replied with a smile. She was surprised to see the old man here. He really went all miles for her. She was grateful for her sacrifices and she wondered how long he has been waiting for her anding from the Fu House to this ce in the middle of the night, she couldn''t believe it.


    Butler Lu and the others took a step forward and congratted them. Jia Li replied with a tired smile.


    The other servant that was left behind followed Jia Li to the room that was prepared for her.


    After Jia Li was wheeled away, Grandfather Fu talked with Dr. Clinton to be sure everything was alright with Jia Li.


    "Old Sir, your granddaughter-inw is a strong woman. And your great-granddaughter was so obedient toe out very quickly. There were noplications, so you can rest assured." Dr. Clinton assured him with a smile and only then did Grandfather Fu agree to leave.


    "I will give bonuses to the doctors and nurses here, you''re all doing a great job here." Grandfather Fu said with a smile.


    "Thank you, Old Sir." Dr. Clinton said with a smile.


    "No need, I should be thanking you." Grandfather Fu said to her.


    In the room, Fu Hua was still yet to get over the birth of his little princess. He was all smiles as he held her in his arms, while Housekeeper Zu and the nurse organized some things in the room before Jia Li would be wheeled in.


    The room was very big with its bathroom and toilet and a closet. It was truly a VVIP room. This was a private maternity hospital anyway and most of the rooms were of that size. This hospital was definitely for the wealthy.


    The little princess in his arms has been staring at him for a long time and he weed her gaze happily.


    The little girl was so cute and a little plump, she wasn''t tiny at all and that was the reason no wrinkles were seen on her face.


    "You look so cute just like your mother." Fu Hua said with a smile as he touched her small nose with a pinky finger.


    Jasmine moved about in his arms and frowned, she pouted her lips and was about to cry. Fu Hua was no longer smiling at this point. He was now in a dilemma as he tried tofort his little daughter.


    "Princess, you can''t cry okay." Fu Hua said as he carried in his arms and got up from the seat with worry in his eyes.


    Housekeeper Zu smiled and said to him, "Sir, the young miss must be hungry."


    The nurse turned around and added with a smile, "Her mother will be here soon."


    ''That''s right, she hasn''t eaten anything yet!" Fu Hua thought with a frown. He was worried that his little girl was starving.


    Jasmine kicked her legs and hands about and yawned.


    "Princess, your mommy will be here soon, hang in there." Fu Hua said to her as he paced around the room for her in his arms.


    Housekeeper Zu and the nurse were watching Fu Hua from the side. They understood it was his first time being a father, so they didn''t tease him.


    Just then, Jia Li was wheeled in and only then did Fu Hua sigh in relief.


    After the bed was wheeled to its normal position, it was adjusted so Jia Li could be a little in the sit-up position.


    "Did she cry?" Jia Li asked in a soft tone as Fu Hua walked to her side with their baby in his arms.


    "No, she has been obedient. But she is hungry." Fu Hua said to her with a smile.


    "That''s a relief." Jia Li said as she stretched her arms out to hold her daughter. Jasmine was about to cry but she recognized her mother''s voiceforting her and she listened down.


    "The baby must be very hungry. Mrs. Fu, you can give her breast milk now. We will all leave you three alone if there is no problem. A nurse will be waiting right outside the door in case you need anything." Dr. Clinton said to them with a smile.


    "Thank you, doctor." Jia Li and Fu Hua said in unison.


    Dr. Clinton smiled at them before leaving with the other others, so the family of three could have enough time to themselves.


    Dr. Clinton trusted that Jia Li could breastfeed her child without any help from them after learning how to care for her child in the antenatal sses.


    "Hold her so I can unzip my dress." Jia Li said with her gaze on Fu Hua.


    Fu Hua was happy to help. He lifted his daughter in his arms, while Jia Li unzipped her dress.


    The gown she was now wearing had a zip in the front for easy ess to breastfeed her child.


    Jia Li was not shy exposing her boobs to Fu Hua. She had a hungry baby to feed.


    Fu Hua put the baby back in her arms and just as she learned in the antenatal sses, Jia Li was able to hold her baby properly and direct her nipple to her mouth.


    Both Jia Li and Fu Hua watched with smiles as their little daughter sucked hungrily.

 Chapter 281 - Jia Lis Mother-in-law

    <h4>Chapter 281 - Jia Li''s Mother-inw</h4>


    In the Fu Vi, Fu ChunHua sighed in relief as the soup and other dishes were ready. She had the servants pack them in big food sks, while she went to have her bath.


    She didn''t take long in the bathroom and quickly got dressed. When she returned to the kitchen, she permitted the food to be moved to the car.


    Fu ChunHua came face to face with Fu Hee who was giving them curious nces.


    "Where are you going to?" Fu Hee asked with a frown when she saw the servants carrying different food sks with them. And with Fu ChunHua dressed up that way, she knew she was bringing food to someone.


    "Don''t tell me you had no idea that your daughter-inw was inbor in the middle of the night?" Fu ChunHua said with a surprised gaze.


    "What!" Fu Hee eximed in surprise.


    Fu ChunHua chuckled softly before replying to her, "Are you for real? You don''t act like a mother-inw. Well, I don''t have the time to stand here and talk with you, I have to go and see Jia Li and the baby."


    Fu Hee stopped her from moving forward. "Where are you going to?"


    "To the hospital of course." Fu ChunHua replied.


    "I am Jia Li''s mother-inw and I should be the one to go to the hospital." Fu Hee said to her.


    "Have you ever yed your role as her mother-inw before? For example, I stayed up cooking all these for her and what are your ns, to present my hard work to her?" Fu ChunHua asked with disbelief.


    "I didn''t mean that. Don''t worry, I won''t reap where I did not sow. I''m trying to change my ways, so I have to go with you to the hospital. Give me a few minutes." Fu Hee said before leaving their side in a hurry.


    Fu ChunHua was surprised by her actions. She was thinking if Fu Hee actually wanted toe with her to the hospital.


    Fu Hee, on the other hand was determined to go to the hospital to see Jia Li and her grandchild. She wanted to use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make up for her past evil.


    She could very well understand while nobody told her about Jia Li''sbor. It was because they didn''t trust her, given all that she has done in the past.


    While Fu ChunHua was waiting for Fu Hee toe back, Grandfather Fu walked in with a happy smile on his face.


    Fu ChunHua greeted him with a smile, as the servants bowed respectfully. Seeing the happy smile on their Master''s face caused them to smile as well.


    "Father, how is Jia Li and the child?" Fu Hee asked with a smile ????


    "Jia Li and the baby are doing great. We have a new princess in our family." Grandfather Fu said happily. He was thinking that he had another princess to dote on.


    "That''s a relief. Father, you have always favored girls over boys just like when mother was still alive." Fu ChunHua said with a smile.


    "Fu Ju and I have always liked girls and it''s a relief I have manydies to take care of, while she is away." Grandfather Fu said with a smile.


    Butler Lu who was standing behind him couldn''t help but smile. The old man who stayed up till 5 AM now should be tired but instead, he was energetic because of the little princess.


    "You have to take the food to Jia Li immediately. Go with the helicopter, she must be very hungry after a night of hard work." Grandfather Fu said.


    Fu ChunHua was about to reply when Fu Hee approached them.


    Fu Hee greeted the old man with a smile and congratted him on the birth of thetest member of the Fu family.


    Grandfather Fu nced at her, and instead of replying, he asked, "Why are you dressed up?"


    "Father, I''m going to see Jia Li and the baby." Before the old man could interrupt her, she continued, "Father don''t worry, I''m not going there to cause trouble or im rights. I want to use this opportunity to show my sincerity, please allow me to go."


    Grandfather Fu sighed. He was happy today and didn''t want anything to disrupt his peace.


    "If I allow you to go, what about Fu Hua?" He asked with his gaze on her.


    Fu Hee didn''t seem worried about Fu Hua stopping her from seeing Jia Li and the baby. She sighed in relief and said to the old ma with a smile, "Father, that won''t be a problem. If you allow me to go over, Fu Hua will not be against your wish."


    Grandfather Fu stared at her for a few seconds before leaving. He understood exactly what her words meant.


    Fu Hua knows that nobody he didn''t want toe over can do that if Grandfather Fu did not permit it, but she was kind of wrong. She forgot her son had a stubborn personality and held grudges with the people that offended him.


    "Thank you, father." Fu Hee said with a smile.


    Fu ChunHua was surprised the old man didn''t say anything. ''Has he forgiven her?''. She thought to herself.


    "Lu, call everyone back home. Announce to my friends about the birth of Our Fu family''s Princess. Choose any lucky news media and give the news to them. The World had to join me to celebrate." Grandfather Fu instructed happily.


    He didn''t want to keep the good news to himself and wanted everyone to join him in the celebration.


    "Yes, Sir, I will do that immediately. Please get some sleep." Butler Lu said to him, as he featured for him to get into bed.


    Grandfather Fu happily obliged and got into bed. He still had in mind of going back to the hospital to visit Jia Li and the baby, so he had to be obedient and get some sleep.


    Fu Hee and Fu ChunHua took the helicopter to the hospital and 5 minutester, they arrived at the private hospital.


    In the VVIP hospital room, Jia Li had just finished breastfeeding their little girl, when Fu Hua leaned over to kiss her forehead.


    "Happy Birthday to you and our little princess." Fu Hua whispered with a loving gaze.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li replied with a smile. Giving birth to their daughter with Fu Hua''spany was the best birthday gift ever.

 Chapter 282 - Responding With A Cry

    <h4>Chapter 282 - Responding With A Cry</h4>


    "You seem tired, get some sleep. I will put her in her cot." Fu Hua said with a smile as he reached out for their sleeping little girl.


    Jia Li had an affectionate gaze as Fu Hua took the child from her. He said he was going to put her in her cot but why was he still holding her in his arms and looking down at her with a smile?


    Atst, Fu Hua put the little girl in her cot that was beside Jia Li''s bed before going on to help adjust Jia Li''s bed so she could get some sleep.


    "Sleep, I will watch over our daughter." Fu Hua assured her as he covered her with the nket.


    "You haven''t slept all night, you should get some sleep as well." Jia Li said to him with a smile.


    "I will, you sleep first.." Fu Hua insisted and leaned in to kiss her cheek.


    Jia Li smiled and closed her eyes. She was too tired to argue with him.


    Fu Hua felt warmth in his heart when he nced at his sleeping wife and daughter. They slept so peacefully and their facial expressions were the same and he couldn''t help chuckling softly.


    Fu Hua sat on the chair beside Jia Li''s bed and watched his wife and daughter. He couldn''t help but feel proud of them.


    A thought came to him and he decided to take a shot of the mother and daughter but he didn''t get their faces.


    He posted the picture on his moments and Weibo post after staring at it for a while.


    ''My little princess arrived at the right time. Thank you wife, for your hard work ??.''


    That was the caption Fu Hua used for the picture he uploaded on his social media. Next, he turned off his inte connection and put his phone back into his pocket.


    Fu Hua was too happy to get some sleep. When Jasmine woke up, he immediately leaned over to her cot to gaze at her affectionately.


    The little girl was staring at her surroundings quietly before her father''s face came in view. She gazed at him silently and Fu Hua couldn''t help but reach out to caress her small soft cheeks with his finger.


    "You''re so beautiful, princess." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    Jasmine squeezed her eyes shut with her gaze on him. She was wrapped up and so couldn''t move her hands and feet.


    The father and daughter exchanged gazes until Jasmine frowned. Knowing what she would do next, Fu Hua lifted her in his arms immediately andforted her.


    "I learned that babies eat a lot in a day, are you hungry?" He asked with a smile.


    Jasmine responded with a cry. She was hungry after having a nap.


    "Oh no! Princess, you can''t cry, your mother is so tired." Fu Hua said after he nced at Jia Li who was still sleeping.


    There was no way Jasmine would understand hisnguage when she was hungry. She cried in his arms.


    Jia Li was awoken by her baby''s cries. As she slowly opened her eyes, she saw Fu Hua trying tofort their baby while walking away from her side.


    She smiled and called out to him, "Bring her over, she is hungry."


    Fu Hua turned over with the crying baby in his arms, before making his way over. "I''m sorry she woke you up."


    "It''s alright, her milk is wasting already." Jia Li replied as she took the child from him and he helped her to adjust the bed with the remote.


    Fu Hua didn''t understand until he saw that while their baby was sucking from one breast, the other was dripping with milk.


    He quickly went to her bag, to find a handkerchief for her, so she could ce it there.


    While feeding their child, Jia Li could feel little contractions and something flowing out of her body. She already knew what it was and didn''t have to panic.


    A little whileter, a knock came on the door and housekeeper Zu''s voice was heard announcing the visitors that came over to see them.


    "Sir, your mother and Madam ChunHua are here to see Madam and the baby."


    Fu Hua frowned when he learned his mother hade to visit. Jia Li was surprised that her mother-inw came to visit her.


    "You stay here, I will go and see." Fu Hua said with his gaze on her.


    "Mmmm." Jia Li hummed in reply.


    Outside the door, Fu Hee and Fu ChunHua were waiting for Fu Hua to let them in. Fu ChunHua was rxed unlike Fu Hee who was tense.


    The next moment, the door opened and Fu Hua walked out and turned to housekeeper Zu. "Go in and keep Jia Li and the babypany."


    Housekeeper Zu took the order and walked inside the room and closed the door behind her.


    Fu ChunHua didn''t understand what was going on but she smiled and quickly said to him, "Fu Hua, congrattions on the birth of your first child."


    Fu Hee joined to congratte him as well.


    "Thank you!" Fu Hua said with a nk look on his face.


    Fu ChunHua thought that things were awkward. She didn''t understand why Fu Hua would not let them go in to see Jia Li and the baby.


    "Fu Hua, I came to see Jia Li and the baby. I cooked this soup all night and she must be hungry." Fu ChunHua said as she pointed at the bags in her hand and the one Fu Hee was holding unto.


    Fu Hua nced at the bags in their hands, before giving his gaze on Fu ChunHua. He has not spared his mother a nce.


    "Fu Hua, Father asked me to supervise the chefs in cooking the food and I stayed up to do that. You can be rest assured that nothing is wrong with the food. We came alone in the helicopter and no servants followed us here."


    Fu ChunHua exined the reason Fu Hee was carrying the other bag that contained the food she prepared for Jia Li. She knew he could reject the food if he thought his mother was involved in the process.


    She couldn''t let him think wrongly after she stayed upte to supervise the chefs.


    Fu Hee was scared that Fu Hua would reject the food, so she quickly exined, "Fu Hua, you don''t have to worry about anything being wrong with the food because I didn''t help in the preparation."


    Fu Hua heard the two women exin and clear up the misunderstandings. He nced at Fu ChunHua with an expressionless gaze and said to her, "Aunty, thanks for your hard work, you can take the food and go in."

 Chapter 283 - Fu Hees Pleas

    <h4>Chapter 283 - Fu Hee''s Pleas</h4>


    Fu ChunHua smiled and took the other bag from Fu Hee. She understood that he was only letting her in. But as for his mother, she didn''t care what he was going to do to her.


    Fu Hua opened the door and let her in. He was going to follow her in when his mother called out to him.


    "Fu Hua..." Fu Hee called out in a low tone when she saw that her son had no ns of letting her in.


    Inside the room, Jia Li was surprised to see Housekeeper Zue in instead of the two women that came to visit her.


    "What''s going on outside?" Jia Li asked with her gaze on the housekeeper..


    "Madam it looks like sir is reluctant to let them in." Housekeeper Zu replied in a cautious tone. From Fu Hua''s actions, it was obvious he didn''t want them toe in.


    Jia Li didn''t know the reason Fu Hua would stop Fu ChunHua froming in but as for his mother, she knew the reason very well.


    Jia Li sighed and nced at the baby in her arms who was staring at her with a calm gaze. She just finished eating before Housekeeper Zu stepped in and since then, she has been staring at her mother.


    To little Jasmine, she was amazed at being in her mother''s arms. She recognized her mother''s voice since she was used to hearing her speak to her when she was still in the womb.


    Jia Li smiled at her and called out, "Hello, Jasmine."


    Housekeeper Zu smiled as she watched the young mother and child. Just then, they heard the door opening which was followed by soft footsteps then they both heard Fu Hee''s voice and the sound of the door closing again.


    When Fu ChunHua walked in and came to their views, she smiled and congratted Jia Li as she made her way to her side.


    Housekeeper Zu was smart to take the bags from her and set them aside.


    "Oh my! She is so cute!" Fu ChunHua said with a sincere gaze when saw the little girl in Jia Li''s arms.


    "Thank you, Aunty!" Jia Li replied with a smile.


    "It looks like I have to start urging Meixu to get married soon and give me a cute grandchild." Fu ChunHua said with a smile and they allughed over it.


    "Aunty, what''s going on outside?" Jia Li asked with her gaze on her.


    Fu ChunHua sighed and exined, "Fu Hua doesn''t want his mother to step into this ce. He almost shut me out if I hadn''t exined myself properly."


    Jia Li frowned and Fu ChunHua sat on the chair beside the bed.


    "You should not be surprised. After all your mother-inw has done to you, Fu Hua''s actions are nothingpared to what should be done." Fu ChunHua said to her.


    "Aunty, I understand. But it feels bad for her to be turned away. At least, I''m happy that she cares about her grandchild." Jia Li replied with a sigh.


    "This girl, you are so innocent. I don''t know if your mother-inw has fully repented but she insisted on following me when she learned that you were inbor all night and has delivered. Father let here with me." Fu ChunHua revealed.


    "That means that Grandfather has forgiven her." Jia Li said with a few thoughtsing to her head.


    "Silly girl, that''s not necessarily what it means. Father wanted Fu Hua to decide by himself. It wouldn''t be easy for Fu Hee to win over the old man again." Fu ChunHua exined.


    "Oh..." Jia Li replied and was lost in thought. She nced over at her baby and then concluded on a matter.


    "Mrs. Zu, can you tell my husband to let my mother-inw in." Jia Li said with her gaze on the housekeeper.


    "Yes, Ma''am." The housekeeper replied and immediately walked out.


    Fu ChunHua was not too surprised that Jia Li would let her mother-inw in since she had already shown signs. She thought Jia Li had forgiven Fu Hee but that was not the case.


    Jia Li has not forgiven her mother-inw yet but she didn''t want her to be turned down at the door because she understood the feeling of being rejected. She has faced that situation thrice.


    She wasn''t God or Buddha not to feel hurt and forgive her but she simply didn''t want to repay evil with evil, that was not the training she received from her parents while growing up.


    Outside the door, Fu Hua turned around to nce at his mother as he closed the door behind him.


    He stood there and gazed at her with a cold nce. "What do you want?" He asked in an emotionless tone.


    Fu Hee who was still tense gathered her courage and slowly said to him, "Fu Hua, please let me go in and see Jia Li and my grandchild."


    Fu Hua thought he had heard the biggest joke from his mother. "Do you have a daughter-inw? No, I don''t think so. So, you obviously don''t have a grandchild. I will advise you to go back to the Fu Vi to rest."


    Fu Hee knew her son would be sarcastic and may not let her in but she still has to try her best.


    "Fu Hua, I know that I have wronged Jia Li. I didn''t ept her in the past but the fact still didn''t change that she is my daughter-inw. I''m not here to ask for her to forgive me, I just came to visit with no ill intention." Fu Hee said in a soft tone with a worried gaze on him.


    "We don''t need you to visit, you can go back. We can survive without your role as a mother, a mother-inw and a grandmother." Fu Hua replied and turned around to go back inside but Fu Hee quickly grabbed his shirt to stop him.


    "Fu Hua, please, let me go in and see Jia Li and your child. I know I have done so many wrongs in the past, I have been rejected by my family because of the path I chose. But this is me trying to repent for my sins. If you don''t give me a chance to atone for my sins and make things right, it will break my hope." Fu Hee said with tears in her eyes.


    "That''s exactly what I want!" Fu Hua said in a heavy tone.

 Chapter 284 - Fu Hees Agony

    <h4>Chapter 284 - Fu Hee''s Agony</h4>


    "Fu Hua, please don''t be like this. I don''t want to cause any trouble, I just want to see Jia Li and my grandchild." Fu Hee said with tears in her eyes.


    Fu Hua took his hands off her grasp and said to her with a frown. "Do you remember how you treated that innocent girl? Your hatred knew no bounds. Since you and FangSu like the Bai family so much, why not go to them?"


    "I have not been in contact with the Bai family for a long time. As for your sister, I warned her about it but she refused to listen to me, I have nothing to do with it." Fu Hee said with all sincerity.


    "Do I look like I care? You''re are not going in and that''s it!" Fu Hua said and turned away but the door opened right before him.


    Housekeeper Zu bowed before speaking in a gentle tone with her eyes to the ground, "Sir, Madam asked for you to let your mother in."


    Fu Hee quickly wiped her tears and smiled as she found new hope, while a deep frown appeared on his face.


    He didn''t want his mother anywhere near his wife and daughter but his wife asked him to let her in. He had no choice but to let her in.


    "You are not allowed to touch my child." Fu Hua said in a cold tone before walking inside the room.


    Housekeeper Zu held the door open for Fu Hee toe in.


    When Fu Hua stepped inside the room, Jia Li smiled and said to him, "You''re back."


    It seemed like Jia Li infected him with her smile because he was all smiles as he walked towards her.


    "How are you feeling?" Fu Hua asked with a smile.


    "I''m fine. It looks like Jasmine missed you." Jia Li said as she adjusted her baby''s positions, so Fu Hua could see her face clearly.


    She was doing all if there to get his mind off the annoyance he was probably feeling.


    "Let me see." Fu Hua said with a gentle gaze as he peered at his daughter''s face. She was gazing at him calmly, before yawning.


    "I guess she missed me, let me hold her." Fu Hua said as he took jasmine in his arms.


    Fu ChunHua and Fu Hee who just stepped in saw how smoothly Fu Hua took the child in his arms and knew he was really cut out for it.


    "Jia Li, congrattions!" Fu Hee said to Jia Li as she managed a smile.


    "Thank you, Aunty." Jia Li said as she managed a slight smile.


    Housekeeper Zu showed Fu Hee where to sit before serving the two women some drinks.


    "Jia Li, I brought pork Vinegar soup and some other dishes for you. You haven''t eaten anything yet eat them and get some strength." Fu ChunHua said while Housekeeper Zu unpacked the food she brought with her.


    "Thank you, Aunty." Jia Li said with a smile. She has been hungry for a while now and couldn''t wait to eat. And now that Jasmine seemed to be eating every hour, she has to be eating as well.


    Quickly, Housekeeper Zu served food for Jia Li and Fu Hua.


    "Fu Hua, let me hold the child while you eat." Fu ChunHua suggested with a smile.


    Fu Hua nced at the cute little princess in his arms. He didn''t want to let another person carry her but he had to. He nced at Jia Li who was gazing at him with a smile, before going on to give the child to Fu ChunHua.


    Fu ChunHua carried the child in her arms, before carefully going to the sofa to sit. She didn''t sit close to Fu Hee and let her feel the pains of not being able to hold her grandchild.


    Housekeeper Zu served Jia Li''s food on the bed and Fu Hua moved closer, so he could eat with her.


    Jasmine was very obedient in Fu ChunHua''s arms and fell asleep real quick after yawning for a while.


    Fu Hua kept putting food on Jia Li''s te while eating. There was silence from their side, apart from ChunHua that was talking to their daughter before she fell asleep.


    Fu Hee understood what pain and jealousy were when she saw her grandchild in Fu ChunHua''s arms. Another person could hold her grandchild but she couldn''t. What an irony of life.


    After Jia Li and Fu Hua had finished eating, Housekeeper Zu took their tes away. The other servant, Mei, walked in with some clothes in hand. She greeted the two women from the Fu family, before walking towards the closet. She had juste back from doing theundry.


    Before Fu Hee and Fu ChunHua left, the former took out a thick envelope from her bag and handed it to Jia Li.


    "I was in a hurry toe over, hence I didn''t have time to prepare anything. This is a little gift for the child. Take care of her and yourself. I wille over before you are discharged."


    "Thank you, Aunty." Jia Li said with a smile and took the envelope from her before Fu Hua could stop her from taking it.


    "No need to thank me!" Fu Hee said with a satisfied smile. She was happy that Jia Li epted her gift.


    "Jia Li, I will bring a gift next time when I''ll being. I''ve been in the kitchen all day and didn''t remember to prepare anything." Fu ChunHua said with a smiling gaze.


    "Aunty, I don''t mind. You stayed upte cooking for me, you should get some rest." Jia Li said with gratitude.


    "Thank you, I will be leaving now." Fu ChunHua said and waved goodbye to her before leaving with Fu Hee.


    "You shouldn''t have been so weing to her." Fu Hua said with a frown.


    Jia Li understood who he was talking about and said, "I was worried I was being rude to her."


    "There is no need to worry, you treated her quite kindly much to my annoyance. Next time, don''t pay attention to her. I only let her in because you asked me to." Fu Hua said in a gentle tone.

 Chapter 285 - Still In The Dark

    <h4>Chapter 285 - Still In The Dark</h4>


    Jia Li had no idea that the inte has been on fire since Fu Hua posted a picture of her and their daughter. She hasn''t even remembered that she has a phone, as the joy of being a mother has clouded her mind.


    Fu Hua probably did not care about the reactions of anyone. His post was enough to garner the curiosity of anyone.


    He has been keeping his marriage partner a secret and now that his wife has given birth, he announced it but didn''t show their faces that was enough reason for anyone interested in his affairs to go crazy.


    FJ Staffs were already crazy right now seeing the post from their boss. They had no idea his wife was pregnant, they all had to learn about it from his post, just like any other person.


    Fu Hua had no idea he had caused a big wave on the inte and as if that was not enough, Grandfather Fu had to post about it not just that, it was more like he was bragging about it.


    He was the first one amongst his friends to have a great-grandchild.


    Many families, friends andizens were already sending in congrattory messages and gifts to the Fu family on thetest member added to their family.


    Atst, FJ had to make an official statement, congratting their Boss on the sessful delivery of his daughter.


    The directors of FJ picked Zimo to give Fu Hua a call to send in congrattory messages on their behalf despite the texts they already sent to him.


    When Zimo made the call, Jia Li and the baby were already fast asleep, so Fu Hua''s tone was low and cold.


    Zimo thought he was in trouble for making that call. But since Fu Hua epted the congratted messages and didn''t scold him, he knew he was safe and sighed in relief.


    "I will be working from home from now onwards." Fu Hua said to him.


    "Sir, what about the Autumn Fashion show next month?" Zimo asked in a worried tone. If Fu Hua worked from home, it was going to affect some important works.


    "You will bring the work to my house. I will onlye to the office if there is a very important meeting that requires my physical presence, if not, we can hold a virtual meeting." Fu Hua said to him.


    There was no way for Zimo to convince him toe to the office since he said so many words at once which was unlike him. Saying any words to convince him, will definitely lead him to be scolded.


    Zimo was kind of happy with the new turnout. Everyone in FJ were curious about the identity of the Boss''s wife and going to his house to drop of documents is a big opportunity to see Lady Boss.


    Somewhere in another country, Feng Alix saw Fu Hua''s posts. She threw her tablet on the bed and undresses before working into the bathroom to enjoy a bath in a bathtub, with rose petals filled in it and a ss of red wine to keep herpany.


    With the soft music ying in the background, she shut her eyes and rxed her back on the tub, while tapping her red painted nails ???? on the edge of the bathtub ????


    Her expressions and thoughts were not known.


    Back at the Fu house, before Fu ChunHua and Fu Hee returned, it was almost 7:30 in the morning which was the usual time for breakfast when Fu YingPei and Fu Ling came to the dining room for breakfast.


    They just heard from one of the servants about thetest member of their family. They are happy and don''t mind the empty dining room.


    As they both talked about visiting Jia Li at the private hospital, FangSu arrived looking awful. As she just woke up from sleep, her eyes were looking a little swollen.


    "What''s going on today, I thought I was thest person to arrive for breakfast?" She asked in surprise when she saw that her brother and cousin were the only ones in the dining room.


    "All you do these days is to sleep and wake upte every morning." Fu YingPei said to her in a pathetic tone.


    FangSu drew out a seat and sat down, before replying while pulling her te of food closer to her, "What can I do than to pass away my time? I''ve been grounded and don''t know when I can leave the house and also, my phone was taken away from me."


    "Are youining now?" Fu YingPei asked with creased brows. He found his sister annoying most times and this moment was one of those times.


    "Brother, do you even pity me? If you pity me, why don''t you help me beg grandfather to let me out before I end up killing myself, I am about to go crazy already!" FangSuined and took a bite from her sandwich ????


    "You must be joking!" Fu YingPei said to her and continued with his breakfast. He didn''t pity her not anymore, as it looks like she hasn''t learned her lessons yet.


    "Brother, this is so unfair. I am your favorite and the Fu family''s treasure, how can I be treated this way?" FangSu said in an annoyed tone.


    Fu YingPei and Fu Ling exchanged nces. They both thought that FangSu was still in the dark and had no idea what was going on in their family. They really pitied her.


    "Do you still think you''re the Fu family''s treasure? You must have been dreaming for a long time! I''m leaving!" Fu YingPei said as he got up and left the dining area.


    ''What''s with him?'' FangSu thought as Fu YingPei walked away.


    As it was only her and Fu Ling that was in the dining room, she proceeded to ask him about the rest of the members of the family.


    "Grandfather is sleeping. My mother and yours went to visit your sister-inw at the hospital." Fu Ling revealed as he used his cutlery ???? to cut a piece of pancakes.


    Thinking that something bad must have happened to Jia Li, FangSu smiled and asked, "What''s wrong with her that she made everyone visit her in the hospital? Did something happen?"


    Fu Ling paused for a while and replied before he went back to eating. "Something indeed happened."


    FangSu got more excited and asked immediately, "Tell me, what happened. Is she dying?''


    "No, she is very healthy. She just delivered a little princess in the early hours of the morning." Fu Ling replied with a smile.


    "What!" ????

 Chapter 286 - Make Any Difference

    <h4>Chapter 286 - Make Any Difference</h4>


    "Enjoy your breakfast!" Fu Ling said with a smile as he got up and left, leaving the shocked FangSu by herself.


    FangSu thought she didn''t hear clearly and had to confirm the breaking news from a servant that came to clear YingPei and Fu Ling''s tes.


    FangSu lost her appetite immediately. She felt she had swallowed something bitter after receiving the worst news ever.


    She hit her palms on the table but it hurt so much that she had to blow on them with a big frown on her face.


    "Aish! That bitch!" FangSu cursed in a low tone as she walked out of the dining area. She was so pissed off with the situation and more so, she was unhappy that her mother didn''t mention anything to her.


    FangSu was thinking of how to get the message across to Bai Jun without knowing that thetter has already seen Fu Hua''s post and was shedding tears in her bedroom.


    In the Bai House, Bai Jun was shedding tears of pain, anguish, jealousy and envy.. She was so heartbroken when she saw Fu Hua''s post.


    She couldn''t believe that Jia Li has given birth. Who knows what she was thinking before.


    Bai Fen tried tofort her but Bai Jun wasn''t ready to listen to her.


    "That woman has bewitched brother Hua! She is nothing but a poor woman but she managed to climb the highestdder in the society!" Bai Jun cried out.


    "I''ve told you to stop crying! I also wished that bitch lost her child but since it didn''t happen, I won''t kill myself over it." Bai Fen said as she tried tofort her.


    "Mum, you''ve been telling me not to worry for a long time now until when will that end? What kind of ns do you have for me?!" Bai Jun asked angrily.


    "I know you''re angry but you should stop screaming. What if someone hears you. I''ve told you several times not to worry too much about Fu Hua because I already have a solution. That bitch just gave birth to a girl and not a boy. Wait till you get pregnant and give birth to a son for the Fu family and see if they won''t make you Fu Hua''s wife." Bai Fen said with confidence.


    "Mum! The problem is how am I going to cross paths with brother Hua when I can''t even get into FJ! My application had been rejected twice now, what do I do?!" Bai Jun cried out.


    She has applied to get into FJ twice but she was rejected all those times. She felt unlucky and thought Fu Hua must have ordered it but there was no way Fu Hua would know she wanted to get into FJ, so that possibility was canceled.


    "I will help you but you have to rely on your charms when you get into FJ. You have to win over your superiors." Bai Fen advised.


    Bai Jun did not look relieved even with her mother''s assurance. "Mum, help me get into FJ already! That''s the most important aspect. I need to get a foothold there before that bitch joins!"


    Bai Fen smiled and patted her hands. "That bitch is nothingpared to you, you don''t have to worry too much. I trust you. Fu Hua has still not revealed her identity because he is not proud of her. Once he releases her picture, her identity and family background will be revealed. Do you think Fu Hua would want a taint his name? He is quite a proud young man."


    "But look at what is going on the inte. She is already so popr and a lot of attention is on her as everyone is addressing her as ''The Hidden Wife''. Ah! The thought of this is killing me!" Bai Jun said with tears in her eyes.


    "Stop crying already. If tears could solve all the problems, would you still be here? Wipe your tears already!" Bai Fen said with a frown. She was starting to get annoyed with the fact that her daughter was weak and kept crying instead of thinking of solutions to climb thedder of the higher-ups.


    Back at the Fu House, FangSu was impatiently waiting for her mother toe back so she couldin about leaving her in the dark.


    And when Fu Hee returned, she dragged her to her bedroom and locked the door.


    "Why are you in a hurry?" Fu Hee asked with a frown.


    "Mum, how could you do this to me? That woman gave birth and you didn''t tell me about it!" FangSu ranted.


    "How could I have told you about it when I was in a hurry to leave with ChunHua. And you were sleeping by the time. Now that you know about it, does it make any difference?" Fu Hee asked as she went to sit on the bed.


    "Mum, how can you be like this! How will Bai Jun feel if she learns of this news?!" FangSu said in an annoyed tone mixed with worry.


    Fu Hee immediately shoot her a re. "I have told you countless times to stay away from the Bai family but you won''t listen. Can''t you see the situation you''re in?"


    "The only situation I can see myself in is that I''m about to go crazy! I can''t afford to give up helping my best friend get what belongs to her!"


    "Is your brother an item that belongs to just anybody? You want to help your friend? Do you know what situation you''re in? Your family is against you and you have lost everything. You have fallen out of favor. You''ve lost everything that took you years to build. Even if you were given 50 years more, you might never be able to recover them because you chose to be a ve to the Bai family. Can''t you open your eyes and see what I''ve seen?!"


    Fu Hee really wanted to open her daughter''s head and see what was inside. Seeing her grandchild today and not being able to hold her was so painful. She just discovered that she has lost a lot while fighting blindly.


    She didn''t want her daughter to make the same mistake that she made and end up like her but her efforts were in vain

 Chapter 287 - Stomach Filled With Anger

    <h4>Chapter 287 - Stomach Filled With Anger</h4>


    "Mum, all I can see is that you are acting cowardly and betrayed your friend because you can''t survive without the Fu family!" FangSu said in rage and received a tight p from her mother.


    Fu Hee was so enraged that she got up and pped her daughter''s cheek. She didn''t pity her at all.


    "Is that how you should talk to your mother?" Fu Hee asked in a loud tone. Her eyes were already red by now. She can''t believe that her daughter dared to talk to her in that manner because of the Bai family.


    FangSu had a hand on her cheeks as she gazed at her mother in a rage. She couldn''t believe her mother just hit her. She epts that she stepped out of line just now but she believes she didn''t deserve to be hit.


    "You can''t learn until you are sent to your early grave right? This is thest warning I''m giving to you. Cut off your ties with the Bai family and atone for your sins!" Fu Hee said while pointing at her..


    FangSu scoffed and asked, "Are you going to cut me off just like grandfather did?"


    "I will disown you!" Fu Hee threatened.


    "What!" FangSu was in disbelief with her mother''s threat of disowning her.


    "You heard me right! Your father ising in tomorrow, just wait till I report you to him! Look at your cousin, she is doing so well and she is far above you in your grandfather''s heart. You lost your car, lost your ce and your assets are frozen, is your life a joke?! You want to be a servant to the Bai family instead of the being the princess of Fu family, Despicable!" Fu Hee spat before walking away furiously.


    Everything she said fell to the ground. FangSu was seeing things differently. She could only remember how Bai Jun had cried and suffered after they learned her brother was already married.


    Bai Jun had already ckmailed her emotionally, so it wouldn''t be easy for her to get out of the spell. She only thought that losing more things was a big sacrifice she has to make for what Bai Jun suffered.


    While thinking of all these, she med Jia Li for everything. If Jia Li hadn''t stepped in then her best friend would have been her sister-inw and there would have been a perfect rtionship between them.


    Seeing how her mother sumbed to the situation, she saw it as a cowardly act. She didn''t want Jia Li to have her way again just like she always had.


    She didn''t think the child Jia Li gave birth to would cause her any harm but Fu Hee saw things differently. She could only see how her newborn granddaughter would be the most doted one by the family.


    When Fu Hee arrived in her bedroom, she was still very angry. The more she thought about things, the angrier she got.


    Fu Hee couldn''t sit and watch her daughter jump from the frying pan into the fire ???? so she had to help her end things.


    Without bothering about food, Fu Hee changed out of her clothes and wore one of her best outfits and left for the Bai house on an empty stomach.


    Her stomach was already filled with anger and there was no space left to contain any food.


    When Butler Lu and Fu ChunHua saw her leaving the house angrily, they wondered what changed her mood.


    The fact that she saw them and walked past them without saying a word, was weird.


    "What''s wrong with her?" Fu ChunHua thought.


    Having asked around, Fu ChunHua learned that Fu Hee fought with FangSu. She smiled and picked up her phone to call her daughter.


    "Where are you? Why are you so busy and missing out on so many dramas at home?" Fu ChunHua asked over the phone.


    "I have a new script to work on. Which drama is happening at home?" Fu Meixu asked as she suddenly became interested in thetest news. She knew for her mother to call her something interesting must have happened.


    "Didn''t you see the news that Jia Li has given birth, why don''t youe over and visit her?" Fu ChunHua asked.


    "I''m quite busy here but I will return in the evening. I called Jia Li''s number more than 5 times but she didn''t pick and I guess she is not with her phone." Fu Meixu replied. When she saw Fu Hua''s post, she immediately tried to reach Jia Li to congratte her but failed.


    "Come back on time. Your Aunty and FangSu had a fight and your Aunty left the house angrily while dressed like a rich madam, I''m sure there will be some drama to watch soon." Fu ChunHua said as sheughed over the situation.


    "If Aunty left the house dressed that way, where do you think she went to?" Fu Meixu asked.


    Fu ChunHua sat on the sofa in her bedroom and crossed her leg. "Who knows. Your cousin didn''t let here inside Jia Li''s room when we went to visit but atst, she was allowed to go in due to Jia Li''s intervention. I could see the regret in her eyes when she saw she couldn''t hold her grand-daughter."


    Fu Meixuughed over the matter and said, "That must have been so painful to watch. I''m sure she regrets her actions. Mother, hold onto your mistress position well, don''t let her get back to take it away."


    "It''s not possible for her. She can not easily win anyone''s trust. Your grandfather will not switch our roles easily. If he forgives her, he would let her handle some things at most but he will never give her this position again, she has lost it forever." Fu ChunHua said andughed hysterically.


    "You''re right, grandfather likes to teach lessons to those that go against him. He can restore her respect but as for the position, that will remain a price she paid. Mother, I have to go now, I have a lot of monologues to memorize." Fu Meixu said to her.


    Fu ChunHua smiled and bid her goodbye after reminding her toe back home on time.


    After their conversation ended, she went to the kitchen to give them a set of instructions. She asked them to make a sumptuous lunch for Jia Li with a lot of soup.


    "...you know what will happen if anything goes wrong right?" She threatened.


    "Yes, Ma''am!" The chefs and the servants in the kitchen chorused.


    Fu ChunHua left the kitchen and went straight to the bedroom to get some sleep, while the chefs worked on the food.

 Chapter 288 - Fu Hee Pays A Visit To The Bai Family

    <h4>Chapter 288 - Fu Hee Pays A Visit To The Bai Family</h4>


    A Mercedes car made its way into the Bai family''s vicinity. It slowly stopped in front of the mansion.


    Fu Hee opened the door herself before the driver coulde to do that for her. There was a cold expression on her face as she nced at the building.


    "Fu Hee!" Bai Fen called out in surprise as she stepped out. She was just informed that Fu Hee hade over. At first, she couldn''t believe it, because she hasn''t seen thetter in a long time since she was locked up. Buting out of the house and seeing Fu Hee standing beside her car, she couldn''t doubt it again.


    The cold look on Fu Hee''s face disappeared and it was reced with a smile just before Bai Fen could make out her facial expression.


    Fu Hee faked a smile and walked towards her unhurriedly.


    Bai Fen saw how richly dressed Fu Hee was and thought she wasing from an asion.


    "To what do I owe this visit?" Bai Fen asked with a smile. She was happy to see Fu Hee, as she thought thetter wanted to clear their misunderstandings. But facially, it looked like she was only surprised with her visit and nothing else.


    "I believe a visitor of the Bai family should be weed and taken inside the house before questions can be asked." Fu Hee said with a smile. She has just dered that she was not her visitor but a visitor to the Bai family but Bai Fen didn''t take it to heart.


    "I''m sorry for my rudeness, pleasee in." Bai Fen said and led her inside the house.


    "What happened to you? I haven''t been able to reach for your several months." Bai Fen asked as they made their way to the sitting room.


    "I have been confused for a long time and I just wanted to clear my head." Fu Hee replied as she was shown a seat.


    "You sure took your time to do that. You don''t need to exin, I understand. I''m happy you came to visit."


    Bai Fen wasn''t getting the gist of everything, as she thought Fu Hee has decided to continue with their initial ns after clearing her head.


    Fu Hee nced at her wordlessly. She believed that Bai Fen was a chicken head that couldn''t read in-between lines.


    Was she expecting her to join hands with her again, after suffering many losses? This was such a big joke.


    ''Bai Fen, you have really underrated me!''


    Before Bai Fen could continue talking, Old Mrs. Bai made her way over with Bai Jun beside her.


    "Aunty, you''re here?" Bai Jun greeted with a soft facial expression.


    Her mother promised to help her get into FJ Styles and seeing Fu Hee, she thought her mother has reconciled with her and she was here to talk about it, so she was especially happy.


    Fu Hee smiled at her and even spoke happily to her before greeting the olddy.


    "Fu Hee, I haven''t seen you for a long time, how have you been?" Old Mrs. Bai asked as they all sat on the couch.


    "Everything is fine now. I suffered a lot before I could recover but it was worth it, as I now have everything under control." Fu Hee replied.


    "Aiyah! Did Mr. Fu punish you a lot? I''m sorry about it, I had no idea. I guessed that things were out of control after I didn''t hear from you after a long time." Mrs. Bai said with creased brows.


    "The punishment was not a lot. I just lost my title and had my life was threatened. And since my son is already happily married, I had to give up on that idea and ended up offending the Bai family." Fu Hee said as she nced at Bai Fen with a smile, before fixing her gaze on the olddy.


    Bai Jun and Bai Fen frowned as they couldn''tprehend Fu Hee''s intentions. They had thought she came to make peace but there was no way she came to make peace by speaking that way.


    The olddy frowned even more and said to Fu Hee apologetically, "The Bai family owe you a lot. You lost so many things just to get your son married to my precious granddaughter, I have seen your sincerity. Don''t do anything anymore. Your father-inw is very stubborn and he came over to threaten us when Bai Fen made a mistake, so you shouldn''t cross his path again."


    "What? My father-inw came here?" Fu Hee asked in surprise. As she nced at Bai Fen who looked away, before gazing at the olddy.


    "You didn''t know about it?" The olddy asked in surprise.


    "I had no idea about this matter. I was locked up in the house and no one told me about it." Fu Hee said with a frown, then she turned to nce at Bai Fen and asked...


    "Fen, what did you do to offend my father-inw?"


    Bai Fen was already gritting her teeth ???? she couldn''t believe her mother-inw would mention something like that and it looked like Fu Hee did not know about it. How was she going to exin herself now?


    "It''s nothing much. I made a mistake, while thinking I was doing your Fu family a huge favor." Bai Fen replied.


    Bai Jun frowned and couldn''t wait for Fu Hee to leave already. She can already guess the oue of this matter. She was highly disappointed.


    "What kind of huge favor was that?" Fu Hee asked with a frown.


    The olddy saw that things were getting out of hand and decided to answer her questions.


    "Fen took a picture of your daughter-inw with her friend and sent it to Fu Hua, she also abused that girl while thinking she was cheating on your son. We are sorry about that."


    Fu Hee didn''t know what to think. If it was before she came back to her sense, she wouldn''t have minded. But now that she knows what was wrong and right, she wanted to p Bai Fen.


    "Don''t look at me like that, it was a mistake. I also sent the pictures to you but you never opened my messages." Bai Fen said with a frown.


    Fu Hee looked away from her and nced back at the olddy. She smiled and said to her, "I didn''t know about it, thank you for telling me. Now, I will have to ask you for a favor."

 Chapter 289 - Fu Hees Warnings

    <h4>Chapter 289 - Fu Hee''s Warnings</h4>


    The threedies were waiting for Fu Hee to talk about her favor. The olddy was the only calm person out of the three.


    Bai Jun and Bai Fen knew that whatever Fu Hee had to say will never be in their favor, so they were tense.


    "Go ahead, our Bai family will do anything to repay you for all your sacrifices, as we are deeply indebted to you." The olddy said with a smile


    At this moment, two servants came over to serve them some snacks. When they left, Fu Hee smiled and spoke up.


    "After suffering a mental breakdown from having my life threatened and losing the important things in my life, I know what it feels like. I don''t want FangSu to go down the same path as me. She has already lost a lot of things but she is not ready to learn her lessons yet."


    "What happened to her?" The olddy asked with a concerned gaze..


    Bai Jun squeezed her fists as she was having a hard time keeping her emotions in check. Bai Fen ced her hand on her fists and squeezed it gently with her gaze on Fu Hee. They both knew what Fu Hee was getting at.


    "FangSu is very loyal to Bai Jun and because of that, shemitted a big mistake. She and Bai Jun visited Fu Hua and FangSu was very rude to her sister-inw when Fu Hua was away. 2 months back, FangSu had the servants in her brother''s house leave when he went on a business trip leaving her pregnant sister-inw stranded for the whole night."


    "What!" The olddy eximed in shock.


    Fu Hee saw the different facial expressions of the three women and continued.


    "Right now, FangSu''s assets are frozen. Her phone was taken away and she has been locked for over 2 months now. She is not allowed to leave the house until the old man grants his permission. I am deeply worried because my daughter still hasn''t learned her lessons, as she is still nning to help Bai Jun get closer to her married brother, who weed a child early this morning." Fu Hee revealed with her gazes on the three women.


    The olddy nced at Bai Jun and Bai Fen with a fierce gaze. She was so angry that she was starting to breathe heavily.


    "Aunty, I''ve been wronged. I didn''t ask SuSu to do any of that." Bai Jun said in defense when her eyes met her grandmother''s fierce gaze.


    "I know you didn''t ask her to do so directly but you are still the cause of all these troubles. If you made a clear stance known to FangSu that you are not interested in Fu Hua would she have gone to great lengths to offend everyone and put herself in trouble?" Fu Hee asked with an angry gaze.


    "Fu Hee, enough of this! Why are you using my daughter? SuSu got punished, so what does it have to do with my daughter?!" Bai Fen asked angrily. She couldn''t sit there and watch Fu Hee get them into trouble.


    "Am I really using her? Bai Jun, I''m sure you have a good upbringing and won''t try to break someone''s marriage. You are not interested in my son right then make it known to FangSu, so she wouldn''t put her life at risk again." Fu Hee said with a fierce gaze on Bai Jun, who was almost in tears.


    The Olddy decided to speak up at this point.


    "Fu Hee, be rest assured that Jun will never go after a married man. It looks like FangSu misunderstood something but don''t worry, I will make sure your worries don''t be to reality. You can go back and be at ease."


    Fu Hee took a deep breath as she slowly rxed her nerves.


    "Don''t mind me speaking this way. I am deeply pained. I am not using anyone but it will be good to take precautions before things get out of hand. I will be happy if our families can maintain internal peace but stay clear from each other."


    Fixing her gaze on Bai Jun and Bai Fen, she said, "I wouldn''t like for my family to be torn apart by people that do not have the training andck discipline. Bai Jun, you and FangSu are still young, so don''t make mistakes you will live to regret. I will take my leave now."


    Her speech made Bai Fen so furious that her eyes turned red. As for Bai Jun, her heart was full of hatred for Fu Hee for getting her into trouble.


    As Fu Hee stood to her feet, the olddy asked with a frown, "Why are you leaving now, you didn''t touch your snacks?"


    Fu Hee smiled and quickly replied, "Thank you but I am in a hurry. I need to get some sleep before going back to the hospital to see my grandchild."


    "That''s right, you are now a grandmother, congrattions!" The olddy said with a sincere gaze.


    "Thank you, I will take my leave now." Fu Hee said as she turned away with her phone and bag in hand.


    "Mother, I will walk her outside." Bai Fen said as she forced a smile.


    "Go ahead!" The olddy said with a smile.


    "Grandma, I will go with mother. I want to ry some words to FangSu." Bai Jun said as her heart raced. She was afraid of being left alone with her grandmother.


    "You want to run away? Get on your knees and wait for your mother toe back, I have a few words to say to you both." The olddy said with a re.


    Bai Jun was frightened and hoped for her mother toe back quickly, as she knelt on the floor.


    Outside the house, Bai Fen didn''t let Fu Hee get inside her car immediately. She pulled her back and asked angrily...


    "Fu Hee, what is the meaning of these?!"


    "What is the meaning of what?" Fu Hee asked with an annoyed gaze.


    "Don''t act like a confused fool! Why did youe here today and say those words in front of my mother-inw! What are your intentions?!" Bai Fen asked angrily.

 Chapter 290 - Its Not What You Think

    <h4>Chapter 290 - It''s Not What You Think</h4>


    Fu Hee chuckled softly with a hand over her mouth.


    "Do you find this funny?" Bai Fen asked angrily. She couldn''t tolerate the fact that Fu Hee chose tough when she was very annoyed, after causing a lot of trouble for her and her daughter.


    Fu Hee stoppedughing and said, "No, I don''t. I should be the one very angry after finding out that I was used."


    "Who used you? Are you talking about the fact you suggested for your son to marry my daughter and you did everything you could to make that happen but you ended up losing everything? Is that why you said you were used and you came here to take your anger out?!" Bai Fen asked while pointing at her.


    "Bai Fen, you must really take me to be a fool. Do you think I don''t know what you did?" Fu Hee said with a smile.


    "What nonsense are you getting at?" Bai Fen asked with a frown. She was feeling insecure as she did not know what Fu Hee discovered..


    Fu Hee stepped closer to her and whispered with a smile, "When I told you about finding a partner for Fu Hua, you deliberately kept mentioning your daughter to me, so I would pick her as his partner but you still made it look like I was the one that initiated the whole n."


    By now, Bai Fen already knew what fear was. She almost forgot to breathe. She was not expecting Fu Hee to find out her little scheme.


    "Bai Fen, you must have really taken me to be a fool. This is thest warning I will give to you, you and your daughter should stay away from my family. You called me a fool earlier and fools do not do anything reasonable. You should be careful or I might really do something without holding back. This should be thest thing I would do to end the rtions between us, officially." Fu Hee said and got into the car.


    Bai Fen remained standing on the same spot tongue-tied as she was still in shock.


    ''How the hell did she figure it out?'' Bai Fen thought in shock. She couldn''t remain standing there and quickly went inside the house in unstable footsteps.


    When the car drove away, Fu Hee stopped the recording on her phone and saved it before putting the phone inside her bag. She has been recording since she was weed inside the house by Bai Fen.


    Fu Hee slowly rxed her nerves and shut her eyes, she was tired already.


    Back in the Bai house, Bai Fen was shocked to see Bai Jun kneeling before the olddy. Because of exchanging words with Fu Hee, she forgot the ticking time bomb she left her daughter with.


    The olddy had a fierce gaze directed at Bai Fen immediately she walked into the sitting room.


    "How many times did I warn you not to get ideas about any member of the Fu family? How many times did I ask you to stay away from them?"


    "Mother it''s not what you think. I really listened to you, I didn''t do anything!" Bai Fen denied the matter immediately.


    "You didn''t do anything? You have taught your scheming techniques to Jun and I am very angry that you did not listen to me. Does it mean that I don''t have any value that my words don''t hold weight to you?" The olddy asked in a dangerous tone.


    Bai Fen was afraid of the olddy and immediately knelt beside Bai Jun who had tears in her eyes.


    "Mother, it''s not what you think!"


    The olddy ignored her and fixed her gaze on Bai Jun. "Jun, let me sound this as a note of warning as I didn''t take my time to exin things to you. Forget about Fu Hua who is happily married with a child now and focus on yourself. If you want to get married that badly, I will arrange to get the best auditor for you."


    "I don''t want to get married!" Bai Jun said in rm.


    "Mother, Bai Jun is not ready to get married, she is still young!" Bai Fen said in a heavy tone. She was afraid the olddy may takews into her hands and that will ruin her nspletely. No, she couldn''t let that happen!


    "For now, I will leave this matter aside not because you are too young to get married. Didn''t you see Fu Hua''s wife, I heard she is your age mate. I am only leaving you because I am still reluctant to let you go but don''t push me! Go back to your room and reflect on my words. FangSu is under home arrest, you should also stay at home for a few days to think things through."


    The olddy just put Bai Jun under house arrest for a few days. She was reluctant for her granddaughter to be married off, as she was the only female descendant of the Bai family, as others were males. But in order not for their entire Bai family to be in trouble, she wouldn''t hesitate to marry her off.


    Back at the hospital, Jia Li was pressed and needed to use the bathroom but she was scared because of the pain she will have to experience while doing so.


    Fu Hua noticed her difort after she woke up from sleep and asked in a worried tone, "Are you okay? Should I call the doctor?"


    "No, I''m fine. I want to use the bathroom but I don''t think I can walk." Jia Li replied with a frown.


    Since she gave birth, she hasn''t stood to her feet and she can imagine what she will go through when she used the bathroom. She felt like crying already.


    "I will carry you." Fu Hua said and tried to lift her off the bed but she stopped him.


    "What?" He asked with a confused nce.


    "You... just stay with our baby, Mrs. Zu will escort me." Jia Li said to him.


    Fu Hua smiled and gazed at her for a while before leaning in to whisper to her, "There is nothing to fear, I have already seen everything. So, would you prefer your husband to help you or an outsider to help you?"


    "You!" Jia Li eximed with widened eyes as she hit his arm with her fists. How dare he act cheesy with her?!

 Chapter 291 - Soft Tender Cheeks

    <h4>Chapter 291 - Soft Tender Cheeks</h4>


    "What, Am I wrong?" Fu Hua asked as he leaned away from her with a smile.


    "Help me out of the bed!" Jia Li said with gritted teeth to hide the fact that she just blushed.


    Without wasting time, Fu Hua carried her off the bed and took her into the bathroom.


    "You can wait outside." Jia Li said to him as she stood on the floor. She felt pain down there.


    "Will you be fine by yourself?" Fu Hua asked with worry.


    "Don''t let me talk too much, just wait outside." Jia Li said with a frown. She wanted to get her bathroom business over with as quickly as possible, so she could go back andy in the bed..


    Fu Hua gave her onest nce before walking out of the bathroom. He exercised a little patience and waited till Jia Li came out on her own. He wanted to lift her and carry her to bed but she refused.


    "I should be fine walking by myself." Jia Li said. While using the bathroom, it took her a lot of maturities not to scream or hiss in pain. Taking little steps like this would help to get over the pain as quickly as possible.


    Fu Hua could only walk side by side with her. And when they got close to the bed, he lifted her in his arms and put her there and Jia Li was grateful.


    "Ma''am, I have heated up the soup." Mei the servant said in a soft tone as she walked inside the room with a bowl of soup ???? in a tray.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li said with a smile as Fu Hua took the soup from the servant and brought it for her.


    "The bowl is not hot, you can hold it." Fu Hua said as he passed the bowl to her.


    Jia Li finished the soup in less than 5 minutes. Fu Hua was worried that she was still hungry and asked Mei to bring more of it but Jia Li said she was okay.


    "How are you feeling now?" Fu Hua asked as he sat beside her with a gentle gaze.


    "I am happy and I feel so happy that I can''t wait to go home with the baby. Ah! that''s right, Ocean and the puppies must have missed me dearly. I can''t wait to their reactions when they see Jasmine." Jia Li said in an excited tone.


    Fu Hua sighed and couldn''t argue with her. He was happy when their topic for discussion changed after Jasmine woke up.


    Jasmine was so calm as sheid in her cot quietly as her little eyes wandered around the surroundings she could see.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua gazed at her affectionately and took in her little movements.


    "What do you think her next action would be?" Jia Li asked softly.


    "She will probably start to cry." Fu Hua replied with a smile.


    Housekeeper Zu brought a new diaper and came over with some wipes as well, to change the baby and in no time, Jasmine started to cry.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua tried tofort her but it didn''t work. Their hearts were already breaking and they couldn''t wait for Housekeeper Zu to finish up quickly.


    When Jia Li carried her crying baby in her arms, she smiled and kissed her soft tender cheeks.


    "Jasmine, don''t cry, mama is here, your daddy is worried about you." Jia Li said in a soft tone.


    Jasmine stopped crying as she gazed at her mother.


    "Little princess, are you hungry?" Fu Hua asked in a gentle tone as he caressed her small face with his finger.


    "Do you want some milk?" Jia Li asked with a smile.


    Jasmine''s gaze wandered between her mother and her father. The little one got tired of looking back and forth and yawned tiredly.


    Jia Li did not let her start crying before she fixed her small lips on her left nipple so she could start sucking on her own.


    Jasmine drank her milk hungrily and she even reached out to touch her mother''s breast.


    There were satisfied smiles on the faces of Jia Li and Fu Hua as they watched their little one eat happily.


    As Jasmine slept while eating, Jia Li had to pull her nipple away from her mouth gently, before Fu Hua lifted her in his arms, while she hid her boobs away.


    "I just remembered that I have a phone, where is it? Did you bring it along?" Jia Li asked as she remembered her phone.


    Her mind has been upied with giving birth to her child and after she gave birth, all her attention has been on her little girl. She just thought about announcing the birth of her child to her friends when she remembered that she hasn''t seen or touched her phone.


    "I didn''t bring it along. I was panicking when your water broke, how could I have remembered it?" Fu Hua said to her.


    He could still remember how shocked he was when her water broke. He forgot what to do in that situation, so how could he have thought about bringing her phone.


    "Ah! I understand." Jia Li replied.


    "What do you want to do, you can use mine." Fu Hua said as he put the sleeping little girl in her cot before taking out his phone from his pocket and passing it to her.


    "Thank you! I just wanted to show off my daughter." Jia Li replied in a depressed tone.


    "Are you ready to show off our rtionship to the world?" Fu Hua asked with a smile.


    "No, that''s not what I mean. I want to show off my daughter to her three godmothers." Jia Li replied.


    When she remembered how her three friends fought just to be the godmother of her child, it got her cracking up. She remembered she had to settle the matter by allowing all three of them to be her child''s godmother.


    "Oh, well, you can use my phone. Log into your ount and send the pictures to them. Today is your birthday, you might as well post something." Fu Hua reminded her.

 Chapter 292 - In A Hurry To Leave

    <h4>Chapter 292 - In A Hurry To Leave</h4>


    "I don''t have any suitable picture on your phone!" Jia Liined as she went through his phone''s gallery.


    "I have nice pictures of you, you can pick anyone." Fu Hua said as he leaned over.


    "What nice picture? I can''t send a picture of me on these casual clothes right and it looks weird posting them. This is our house and people might specte." Jia Li said with a frown.


    All the pictures of her in Fu Hua''s gallery were mostly taken without her knowledge. They were casual pictures of her in the bedroom, dining or workshop, she felt it wasn''t right to post them.


    "Why don''t you post one of your birthday pictures of yesterday?" Fu Hua asked. Since she couldn''t find any other good picture, she could crop one of the photos from her birthday and post it since it looked more professional.


    "Darling, it''s not possible. Forget it, I will just write something and not post any picture." Jia Li replied.


    "There is another solution. Today is your birthday and your friends would have posted your picture." Fu Hua reminded with a smile.


    "That''s right! I can get my pictures from their wall." Jia Li said out of excitement. She didn''t mind posting old pictures for her birthday.


    Fu Hua smiled as he watched her excitement. He reached out to caress her hair while she found some pictures to post.


    "I need to get my phone soon, I bet there are so many unseen messages and missed calls on my phone, that the battery must have gone low now." Jia Li said with a frown as she handed his phone back to him.


    "I will get it for you, I need to get cleaned up anyway." Fu Hua said.


    Jia Li looked excited as she said to him, "Thank you! You need to get me some snacks as well."


    Thinking about how she was getting hungry so easily because of breastfeeding her daughter so many times, she wanted to have a pack of snacks to herself.


    "Ma''am, you''re not allowed to have that." Housekeeper Zu said from the side in a polite tone.


    Fu Hua nced at his wife with pouted lips. He smiled and leaned in to kiss her cheeks.


    "I will get you anything you want to eat when it''s the right time. I have to leave now but I will be back as soon as possible."


    "Bring more clothes for yourself, you can bath and change here. And can you please ask the doctor when I will be discharged?" Jia Li said with her gaze on him.


    Fu Hua smiled at her request, "Why are you in a hurry to leave?"


    "I want to go home already to introduce Jasmine to Ocean and the puppies, I''m sure they are worried about me." Jia Li replied.


    "I will ask the doctor now. It''s almost time for her toe over to check on you and the baby, I will leave after that."


    Few minutester, Dr. Clinton came over with 2 nurses. There were visible smiles on their faces when they came over.


    Dr. Clinton checked on Jia Li and her newborn to make sure everything was okay with them. When Dr. Clinton asked Jia Li if she had anyints,


    Jia Li raised a question instead.


    "Doctor, When will I be discharged?"


    Dr. Clinton chuckled softly and replied, "It looks like you are already ufortable with this ce. We have to observe you and your baby for 2 more days before we can let you go."


    "2 more days? That''s a long time. I want to leave tomorrow at most." Jia Li said with a frown.


    She was already impatient from staying at the hospital and wanted to leave immediately. Since she lost both of her parents at the hospital, there has been this ufortable feeling when she stayed in the hospital for a long time.


    She didn''t feel that way during her antenatal sses or checkups because activities were going on which kept her upied. But this situation was different, she wasn''t doing anything in the hospital except toy there and eat, which were things she could do while at home.


    "Sweetheart, do you miss your pets that much?" Fu Hua asked with a gentle gaze. Seeing how she was being stubborn about leaving, he knew she was very serious.


    "Not just my pets. I feel very ufortable if I have to stay here for a long time, it makes me think I am very sick and need a tight watch on." Jia Li replied.


    Fu Hua and the doctor exchanged nces. Since there was nothing wrong with her and the baby, Dr. Clinton agreed to let her leave in the evening of the next day.


    "Evening is far." Jia Li said.


    "It''s Summer already and you can''t take your baby out in the sun, so evening is the best time." Dr. Clinton replied with a smile.


    "Thank you, doctor!" Fu Hua said with a smile before Jia Li would find more things to say.


    "No troubles, it''s my job!" Dr. Clinton said before leaving with the nurses.


    Fu Hua squeezed Jia Li''s hands gently without saying anything for a few minutes. Then, he kissed her lips and her hands.


    "I have to leave now."


    "Go ahead but don''t take too long." Jia Li said with a smile.


    "I won''t. I feel sad that I have to be apart from you and the baby for a while." Fu Hua said as he moved to the baby''s cot and touched her soft tender cheeks with his finger. There was a loving gaze on his face as he did that.


    "You will wake her and then you will give me more troubles." Jia Li said apprehensively from the side. She was scared of Jasmine waking up with cries.


    She didn''t like the tender baby turning red from crying and she was too young to be crying that way. Her cries always melted her heart and she can''t bear to watch it.


    "I''m careful." Fu Hua said.


    After kissing his little princess goodbye, he left. He was in a hurry since he wanted to return on time.


    Back at the Fu House, Fu Hee came back and went straight to the bedroom to rest. She was tired but she couldn''t sleep for a long time since she felt disturbed.


    Whenever she remembered that she was a grandmother in name, she felt pain in her chest and she regretted all the actions and moves she made that got her in the present situation.

 Chapter 293 - Not Interested In The Mistress Position

    <h4>Chapter 293 - Not Interested In The Mistress Position</h4>


    After managing to close her eyes for a few minutes, Fu ChunHua got of out bed and went to the kitchen to see everyone there working hard to prepare a sumptuous meal for Jia Li.


    She walked around to inspect the vegetables and products that was being used and when she found no fault with them, she rxed and walked away.


    Before noon, Grandfather Fu left with the lunch that was prepared for Jia Li which surprised the two women that had put in some efforts to prepare the food.


    "Stay here and look after the house." Grandfather Fu had said to them.


    Fu Hee and Fu ChunHua were tongue-tied at the old man''s instruction. It''s not like someone will take over their house if all of them were to leave the house.


    The old man gave them a ridiculous excuse just to go alone.


    "There is no need ah!" Fu ChunHua eximed in frustration as she sat on the couch..


    Fu Hee orders some tea to calm her nerves. After making high expectations from her next visit, the old man decided to destroy everything.


    "I think it''s better this way. We need to prepare dinner for everyone. Our husbands areing back today and there is a lot to prepare." Fu ChunHua said in a low tone as she massaged her temples.


    "I really wanted to go to the hospital after being proud of what I was able to do today." Fu Hee said with a frown. She was talking about how she visited the Bai family to warn them.


    "Where did you go to this morning?" Fu ChunHua asked as she fixed her gaze on her.


    It was rare for the two women to sit and talk without getting at each other.


    "I went to the Bai family." Fu Hee replied.


    Just then, a servant came over with a pot of tea and to teacups. After serving them tea, she went away.


    "What did you go there to do, did you forget your situation so soon?" Fu ChunHua asked.


    "It was because I couldn''t forget my predicament that I went there in the first ce. I was so pained that I had to go over to warn them." Fu Hee disclosed as she drank from her teacup.


    "Has your eyes finally opened after being rejected at the hospital?" Fu ChunHua said as sheughed at her.


    Fu Hee red at her and said, "Don''t be so annoying. I didn''t tell you this just so you couldugh at me."


    "Why do I feel that your going there was in vain? You don''t know how much trouble you caused, do you? And your daughter is following in your footsteps and you know what? She is better than you at causing trouble." Fu ChunHua said as she chuckled with a hand over her mouth.


    Fu Hee was so angry at being made fun of. She grasped the teacup tightly in her hand with an angry gaze on Fu ChunHua.


    Fu ChunHua saw Fu Hee''s angry gaze and stoppedughing. "It''s good to see you''re changing but don''t think you can take over the mistress position from me."


    Fu Hee rolled her eyes at her. "You can keep it, I am not interested in that position. I don''t need it tomand respect. I know how to turn the tables again, I just need to act the proper way and I will slowly regain my lost respect and glory. Being the mistress of the Fu family is not all that it is."


    "Are you saying you''re not interested in this Mistress position? I don''t believe you. Who knows if you are acting." Fu ChunHua said with a frown.


    "You are not confident enough, you''re scared that I will try to snatch this position but you can rest assured that I don''t have time for that. I have important matters to settle in my time." Fu Hee said and moved her gaze back to her tea.


    Fu ChunHua frowned even more as she picked up her teacup and drank from it. It felt surreal to hear that Fu Hee was not interested in the position that used to be hers.


    Things may be better between them if they do not fight for the Mistress position.


    ''Well, she can''t get it anyway when if she wanted it.'' Fu ChunHua thought as she drank her tea.


    When Grandfather Fu got to the hospital, Jia Li had just had her bath and changed to a new set of clothes. She had Jasmine in her arms when the old man walked in.


    "Grandfather!" Jia Li called out in excitement but that caused Jasmine to fidget in her arms. The little girl was scared ????


    "Li girl!" The old man called out in a more gentle tone. He had a big smile on his face as he made his way over.


    "Grandfather, you''re here. It''s good to see you again, pleasee and have a seat." Jia Li said with a smile afterforting her baby.


    Mei ced a seat close to Jia Li''s bed, so the old man could sit close to Jia Li and see the baby from that angle.


    "Aiyoh! This is my great-grandchild." The old man said in an excited tone when he caught a glimpse of the calm gaze from Jasmine.


    "Jasmine, your great grandfather is here to see you." Jia Li said to her little girl who yawned in her arms. She looked so cute as she did that.


    Grandfather Fu was all smiles as he finally sat on the seat brought to him. He smiles, even more, when the little girl was put in his arms.


    The forgotten Butler Lu was luckily remembered, as he was asked to sit on the couch but he refused. He was a servant and how could he sit.


    Butler Lu handed the bags that contained Jia Li''s lunch to the housekeeper and stood at the side with his gaze on the old man.


    Grandfather Fu''s attention was on his great-grandchild in his arms. He called out her name, ''Da-Xia'' while chatting with her. Jasmine was gazing at the old man who had her in his arms without making any movements.


    Jia Li smiled from the side at how obedient her little girl was.


    After chatting with the little girl, Grandfather Fu nced at Jia Li and said with a smile, "Li girl, I brought food for you, eat and regain your strength."


    "Thank you, grandfather." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    The old man smiled satisfactorily and went back to chatting with the baby. He didn''t even notice his grandson''s absence as he didn''t ask about him.

 Chapter 294 - Fu Huas Childish Acts

    <h4>Chapter 294 - Fu Hua''s Childish Acts</h4>


    Not quite long, Fu Hua came back dressed in newfortable clothes. He didn''t look surprised to see his old man there, as he made his way towards them.


    Mei took the bag in his hand away and went to put it away.


    "You''re back." Jia Li said with a smile. She was currently eating but she looked happy to see him.


    "Mmm." Fu Hua hummed in reply before turning to the old man who hadn''t spared him a nce to ask, "Grandfather, has it been long since you came?"


    "It hasn''t been long. Don''t distract me from chatting with my precious child. Look how obedient she is, just like Li girl." Grandfather Fu said with a smile, as he still had his gaze on the little girl in his arms.


    "Grandfather, why do you only say that she is quite like Jia Li, what about me?" Fu Hua asked as he thought it was unfair.


    Normally he wouldn''t mind but now, he was curious to know how he acted when he was a child.


    "You? If you know how troublesome you were when you were still young, you wouldn''t have brought this up." Grandfather Fu said as he spared him a nce.


    Fu Hua furrowed brows, while Jia Li stared at him in amazement. She couldn''t help but find it not convincing that the cold man she has always known was stubborn when he was young. She thought that he was calm and liked to stay by himself but who knew it was the opposite of it.


    Being reminded of his past, Grandfather Fu became energetic to tell a story.


    "Li girl, let me tell you a story about Fu Hua''s childhood." The old man said with a smile.


    "Grandfather!" Fu Hua said with a frown.


    "Don''t call me, go and sit over there." Grandfather Fu said to him before ncing back at Jia Li who looked very curious to hear the story about Fu Hua''s childhood.


    "Grandfather, please go on!" Jia Li said excitedly.


    ''What kind of person was Fu Hua when he was young?'' Jia Li thought.


    Fu Hua nced at Jia Li with a frown but it was a waste of time as thetter didn''t even spare him a nce. She was more interested to learn about his embarrassing stories.


    Fu Hua couldn''t stand there and watch them talk about him in his presence, so he took the little girl from the old man''s arms and went over to sit on the couch.


    As Fu Hua had left their presence, Grandfather Fu began to tell his stories, while Jia Li listened attentively.


    "When Fu Hua was young, he was very stubborn and active. He didn''t like to stay at a ce and always like to cause trouble, he cried when things didn''t go his way. He only changed when he got into Junior High School. Back then, he was very energetic and lovely but he was known for his troubles. As he was my first grandchild, I took a liking to him and trained him myself. His grandmother loved him so much that she would give him anything he wanted but saw that if hecked discipline, he would not turn out well, so I started to discipline him and by then I had more grandchildren but I trained Fu Hua myself."


    Fu Hua could still hear them talk andugh at him and a huge frown sat on his face. When he noticed his little princess''s gaze on him, he faked a smile.


    He was more scared of frightening her than being angry at hearing his past embarrassing stories. He didn''t want the view Jia Li had about him to change, so he was unhappy with his old man.


    By the time the old man finished telling his stories, he requested for his great-granddaughter to be brought to him but Fu Hua refused.


    "This is my child, go back home and hold any of your three children." Fu Hua said to him.


    "You... how can you be so unreasonable?" Grandfather Fu asked with a frown.


    "How am I unreasonable? Jasmine is my child and I want to hold her. If you really want to hold her, wait till I''m tired but doubt that I will ever get tired of holding her." Fu Hua said and looked away.


    Jia Li was finding it difficult to hold in her chuckle. She has never seen Fu Hua being so childish to this extreme and it seemed like he was good at bearing grudges.


    "Li girl, have you seen that my stories are not fake. Look, he is being so unreasonable, just like he used to be in the past." The old manined.


    Butler Lu had to look away in order not tough. ''Who does he take after?'' He thought andughed inwardly.


    Fu Hua refused to let the old man hold Jasmine again. He swayed the little girl in his hands till she fell asleep before he ced her in her cot. And after that, he ate the food Housekeeper Zu served him.


    Grandfather Fu couldn''t scold him as his precious great-granddaughter was fast asleep.


    "You are so shameless!" Grandfather Fu said through gritted teeth. Fu Hua nced at him and looked away without saying anything. He was not concerned.


    Initially, Grandfather Fu didn''t want to scold him because Jasmine was sleeping but he couldn''t tolerate his indifferent attitude.


    "How dare you act so arrogant?! If I didn''t force you to get married, would you have been able to hold your child by now?"


    "You also wouldn''t have been able to hold your great-grandchild if I didn''t get married." Fu Hua said with a smile that was not a smile.


    "You..." Grandfather Fu said while pointing at Fu Hua with an angry gaze.


    It has been long since Jia Li saw the grandfather and grandson quarrel. She had to stop the old man before their argument got out of hand.


    "Grandfather don''t mind him. He is only jealous of you. If you didn''t force him to get married, he won''t be this proud." Jia Li said to the old man with a smile.


    Fu Hua narrowed his gaze at Jia Li who looked away from him.


    ''Shouldn''t she be on her husband''s side?'' Fu Hua thought.

 Chapter 295 - Face-time With Her Friends

    <h4>Chapter 295 - Face-time With Her Friends</h4>


    Grandfather Fu stayed for a while before leaving and Fu Hua was more than happy to see him leave.


    After he left, he passed Jia Li''s phone to her.


    "You have opened my eyes today." Jia Li said as she took her phone from him.


    "Don''t dwell on my past, I am a changed person." Fu Hua said and went to sit back on the couch. He was embarrassed as he didn''t know what way his wife now viewed him as.


    He was feeling insecure and med his old man for tarnishing his reputation.


    Jia Li chuckled softly, before fixing her gaze on her phone. She found his actions cute, just like their daughter.


    "You charged my phone?" Jia Li asked with a smile as she gazed at him.


    "Yes." Fu Hua replied.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li replied gracefully.


    There were so many missed calls and texts from her phone. Her eyes hurt just by looking at them.


    "Where do I start from?" She asked herself as she stared at the missed call logs. Atst, she decided to face time with her three friends.


    Luckily, they were online and they quickly connected to the call.


    "Jia Li, where did you leave your phone, we have been trying to contact you since this morning. You were not picking our call and there was no reply from the texts!" DanDan said in a worried tone.


    "What happened to you, are you okay? We were worried sick about you." Chang-Chang said with a frown.


    Jia Li couldn''t let them go on and on about how worried they were, so she replied to them with a smiling gaze, "I am very fine. I have not been with my phone, that''s why."


    "That''s good but why are you wearing a hospital gown?" Daiyu asked with creased brows as she noticed the uniform Jia Li was putting on. The others noticed it as well and began to ask questions.


    "Are you sick? Are you okay?" Chang-Chang asked immediately.


    "Today is your birthday, what are you doing in the hospital?" DanDan asked.


    Instead of Jia Li replying to them with words, she switched her phone camera to the rear one and Jasmine who was sleepingfortably in her cot came to their view.


    It took a few seconds for Jia Li''s friends to react. The three of them screamed in surprise when they got the message after seeing the baby.


    Jia Li''s phone almost slipped from her hand because of their screaming. Even Fu Hua nced over at her.


    Jasmine who was sleeping peacefully frowned in her sleep and almost cried out before the frown disappeared and she opened her eyes slowly.


    Jia Li immediately nced over at Fu Hua who was already on his feet and said, "Darling, she is awake and she looks like she is about to cry."


    Fu Hua took long strides over and quickly lifted the little girl in his arms and began to soothe her as he carried her away.


    Jia Li sighed in relief before fixing her attention on her phone. She switched back her phone camera to the front view and chided her friends.


    "What kind of godmothers does my daughter have? You all scared her with your uncontroble screaming."


    "Jia Li is that your child?"


    "When did you give birth?"


    "OMG! Jia Li why didn''t you tell us about this sooner?!"


    Jia Li friends threw so many questions at her and she had to cut them off.


    "You are asking so many questions at the same time, which one should I answer first?"


    "Start from anyone, better still, tell us the entire story." DanDan said as they all directed curious gazes at her, they were impatient and couldn''t wait to hear the gist of everything.


    Fu Hua had Jasmine in his arms as he walked around the room while speaking softly to her. He thought that his little princess must have been shocked, so he took his timeforting her.


    Housekeeper Zu watched him from the side with a smile on her face. His fatherly love could not be hidden.


    Jia Li decided to tell her friends the whole story from the time she was rushed to the hospital and herbor started and till the time she gave birth.


    "...I didn''t remember to take my phone with me." Jia Li said as she finished off with a smile.


    "Congrattions!!!" Her three friends said in unison. There was excitement in their tone.


    They kept asking Jia Li to point the camera at the cute baby they saw a few minutes ago.


    Jia Li asked them to bribe her and they kept begging her before she agreed to listen to them. She switched the camera again and the threedies smiled when they saw Jasmine in Fu Hua''s arms.


    Just then, Fu Hua turned his gaze to nce at the camera before looking away.


    "OMG!" The threedies blushed.


    Jia Li switched the camera so her face could be seen and she asked with a re directed at them, "Who are you blushing for?"


    "Of course, it''s the baby, can you bring her closer for us to see?" Daiyu said with a soft look on her face.


    "You all woke my daughter from sleep and now you want to see her, no way! Bring some gifts before I can forgive you!" Jia Li said with a proud gaze.


    "Aiya! We will bring gifts. Which hospital are you, tell us and we wille over immediately!" DanDan said to her.


    "Don''te to the hospital, wait till I am discharged from the hospital, then you can visit us at home." Jia Li said with a smile.


    "Ah! I don''t think I can handle not seeing my goddaughter for another minute." Chang-Chang pouted.


    "Stop making noise, I will send her pictures to you, so you can look at them all day till you can see her when youe over." Jia Li said to her.


    "That''s a relief!" Chang-Chang said as she smiled brightly.


    "When will you be discharged from the hospital?" Daiyu asked. If they were going to visit her in her house, then they need to know when she would be discharged from the hospital.


    "Tomorrow evening." Jia Li replied happily.


    "Okay, we will allow you to rest tomorrow night ande over the next day." DanDan said.


    "Don''t forget toe with gifts or I won''t allow any of you to hold my daughter.." Jia Li threatened.

 Chapter 296 - Give Up Something

    <h4>Chapter 296 - Give Up Something</h4>


    At the Bai family house, Bai Jun was throwing the things in her room on the floor. She was lucky it wasn''t breakable things or the olddy would have been alerted.


    Bai Fen was too angry to stop her. Fu Hee''s words were still ringing in her head.


    "Mum, what are we going to do now, I want brother Hua! He belonged to me before that woman snatched him away! She is living the life and enjoying everything that was mine!" Bai Jun said while crying out in frustration.


    "Stop crying! I''ve told you several times that crying will not solve your problems!" Bai Fen scolded her angrily. Her cries were getting on her nerves and it was making her not to concentrate or think properly.


    "Have not crying solved my problems before?!" Bai Jun retorted.


    "Do you prefer to waste your energy and not get solutions or to stay calm and analyze the situation properly?" Bai Fen asked with her gaze on her.


    "Mum! Grandma just threatened to marry me out. What if Aunty Heees back again, my life will be ruined!" Bai Jun cried out again.


    "Don''t worry, I will never allow you to get married against your wish! You will pick the person you want and I will make it work. Stop crying, I don''t like to see you cry." Bai Fen said as she lowered her tone.


    "Mum, I will really kill myself if anyone ruins my ns! I must get brother Hua!" Bai Jun said with her tear-stained face.


    Bai Fen was rmed when she talked aboutmitting suicide. "Don''t you ever think about killing yourself? If you talk about it, then I will not help you again!" Bai Fen threatened.


    "Mum, you have to help me get into FJ as soon as possible!" Bai Jun pleaded with her mother as she pulled on her clothes.


    "Stop crying, I will help you! The best thing to do is to stay away from the Fu family. Don''t interact with FangSu again, end your rtionship with her!" Bai Fen said to her.


    "What!" ???? Bai Jun eximed with a surprised gaze.


    "You heard me right! End your rtionship with FangSu. You heard what Fu Hee said, she even threatened me outside the house. The old man of the Fu family must not learn of this, so we must avoid them at all cost!" Bai Fen said with a determined gaze.


    "But mum, FangSu is my friend, how can you ask me to stop talking to her, she will not be happy if I told her to stop interacting with me." Bai Jun said with a frown.


    FangSu has been her friend since they were kids and although she used her most of the time, their rtionship was very deep and asking her to break off the rtionship with her was going to be difficult.


    "Do you still want Fu Hua to be your man?" Bai Fen asked as she stared into her eyes.


    "Yes!" Bai Jun replied.


    "Good, then do as I say. You must give up something to get something bigger. You don''t need to say anything to FangSu, just stop talking to her. Even if she calls you, don''t answer her call, when she sees that you''ve lost interest in the rtionship, she will slowly stop bugging you. All this is for your good." Bai Fen advised with her hands on her shoulders.


    Bai Jun was quiet for a while before asking, "Mum, what about getting close to Brother Hua, how will I get help?"


    "You need to stand up for yourself. Learn to do things by yourself. I will help you get into FJ, you work your way up there and we will both work together to get you closer to Fu Hua." Bai Fen assured her.


    The next day in the afternoon, Fu Hua contacted a hairstylist and a make-up artist to doll Jia Li up, as he would be leaving the hospital soon.


    After some checkups were done on her and the child, they were finally discharged.


    Jia Li was very happy and couldn''t wait to leave. She was excited when she saw the people Fu Hua brought to doll her up.


    "I want you to look good as you will being back home with our child." Fu Hua said to her with a smile.


    "Thank you! I was worried I was looking shabby but you solved the problem for me." Jia Li said as she embraced him. Her stomach was still big, so she gave him a side hug.


    Fu Hua wrapped his arms around her waist and embraced her as well.


    When they were done cuddling, Jia Li sat in front of the mirror and they got busy with her. Fu Hua carried the sleeping child in his arms and couldn''t get over her cuteness.


    He still could not believe that he was a father to a daughter.


    When Jia Li was through with her makeup, she got dressed in the outfit Fu Hua picked for her. She was so happy to see how good she was looking.


    After she gave birth, she has been looking shabby but she didn''t care about her looks. But now that she was going back home, she had to look good.


    In the car, the Ac was on and because of the baby, Fu Hua did not wind down the car window although Jia Li wanted to take in the fresh air.


    Jia Li could not hide the excitement on her face as she looked at her surroundings.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua were sitting at the back passenger seat of the car and Fu Hua had his little princess in his arms.


    Jasmine was sleeping peacefully in her father''s arms, while her mother enjoyed the scenery outside.


    "You look so excited." Fu Hua said with a smoking gaze on her.


    "Yes. I am happy I''m going back home with our daughter, I missed home!" Jia Li replied with a smile.


    When they got to their house, Jia Li was surprised to see other cars parked there. She wondered if they had visitors. And before she could ask Fu Hua about it, he changed the topic.


    "I left my phone inside the car, please help me with it." Fu Hua said to her and she went back to get it for him.


    Instead of waiting for her, Fu Hua strode forward with the child as a smile appeared on his face.

 Chapter 297 - Did I Starve You?

    <h4>Chapter 297 - Did I Starve You?</h4>


    When Jia Li came back with his phone, he was already at the entrance and she had no time to ask questions because the door was opened for them from inside.


    As Jia Li and Fu Hua made their way in, they could hear the chattersing from the excited visitors.


    "Do we have visitors?" Jia Li asked with widened eyes.


    "Yes, we do." Fu Hua replied as he continued walking forward with the child in his arms. Jia Li had to catch up with him.


    When they both stepped inside the living room, they saw the visitors waiting for them.


    "Jia Li, wee back!"


    "Congrattions, Jia Li!"


    "Son, congrattions!"


    There were members of the Fu family standing with smiles on their faces to wee Jia Li, Fu Hua and the newborn.


    The primary members of the Fu family were present except for FangSu who was locked up at home. Fu Hee was privileged to be present.


    Jia Li was happy to see everyone there to celebrate her return. She greeted all of them with a smile on her face.


    Jasmine who was asleep moved her small hands before opening her eyes to look at her surroundings. Now that she was awake, everyone could hold her.


    Fu Hee did not dare to overstep her boundaries. She didn''t try to hold the child in her arms and could only watch as others carried her grandchildren about.


    Fu Ling and Fu YingPei were the first to present Jia Li and the baby with gifts. Jia Li thanked them wholeheartedly as the servants helped her to ept the gifts.


    Next were her father-inw and Uncle, Fu Lei and Fu Geming who presented her with big gifts.


    Fu Meixu hugged Jia Li tightly and congratted her again before presenting her with the gift she got for her.


    "Thank you, Sister Meixu." Jia Li said to her with a grateful smile.


    "No need to thank me!" Fu Meixu said with a smile.


    Fu Hua''s Aunty, Fu Juan, presented her gift next and after that came Fu Hee and Fu ChunHua. Grandfather Fu was thest.


    There was a celebratory wine and food to wrapping up everything.


    While everyone was over here eating,ughing and chatting, FangSu was seething in rage. She was so angry that everyone left her behind to go out to wee the new child.


    When they were about to leave, she begged her mother to take her along but she abandoned her saying, ''You have not been forgiven yet. And it''s a good thing you''re not going, who knows what trouble you will cause that will anger everyone."


    FangSu felt betrayed by her mother but she couldn''t do anything. Now thinking that she had the opportunity to go out since there was no one to stop her, she was shocked when the soldiers outside, stopped her at the entrance and asked her to go back inside the house.


    FangSu felt insulted as the soldiers were very strict with her. They didn''t give her any face and didn''t consider her identity.


    As she went back inside the house angrily, she remembered what her mother said and thought that she has really lost favor.


    "It''s all because of you, bitch!" FangSu cursed.


    The rest of the Fu family left Jia Li and Fu Hua''s home around 8 pm for the Fu residence.


    As they had eaten already, everyone went to bed when they got back to the Fu residence.


    FangSu was the only one who didn''t have dinner that night. Before the rest of the family came back, a servant called her for dinner but when she went to the huge dining area and saw that she was all alone, she abandoned the food and ran back to her bedroom in tears.


    After the Fu family left, Jia Li had to quickly change out of her clothes, while Fu Hua held their crying daughter in his arms. The little girl was already very hungry.


    "Princess, wait for a second, your mother ising." Fu Hua said as he rocked his little princess in his arms. His gaze was filled with worry.


    Jasmine cried and kicked her hands about. Her face was already red by the time Jia Li rushed out.


    Jia Li had a frown on her face when she sat on the bed and Fu Hua ced the child in her arms. Her baby''s face was red and that made her concerned.


    Atst, when she sent her right nipple inside Jasmine''s mouth, the little girl began to suck speedily.


    "Did I starve you?" Jia Li asked in a soft tone.


    "She must have been very hungry." Fu Hua said as he came to her side and gazed at his little girl with worry.


    "Jasmine, mum is sorry okay?" Jia Li said to the little girl but the only response they heard was the sound of her sucking her breast.


    Jasmine had her eyes closed and her small palm was ced on her mother''s boob, while she sucked her milk quickly.


    Fu Hua sat on the bed and watched his daughter eat hungrily. He forgot he had to change his clothes. He couldn''t bear to leave the sight of the mother and daughter pair.


    After feeding her from her right breast, Jia Li transferred her to her left breast to continue, as it was very full of milk.


    After eating, Jasmine became calm and peaceful just like any other obedient child.


    Jia Li wanted to change her diaper, so Fu Hua brought a new one and a change of clothes.


    "Please ask Mrs. Zu toe and bath her directly, there is no need to change her diapers now." Jia Li said to her.


    This would be their baby''s second time having a bath since she was delivered. In the morning of today, the doctor approved for Jasmine to have her first bath and Housekeeper Zu was the one that took care of it since she had a talent for taking care of babies.


    Fu Hua left to call the housekeeper to bath the little girl whose eyes were shining like a torch.. She has finished eating but there were no signs of sleep in her eyes.

 Chapter 298 - Two Ladies In My Life

    <h4>Chapter 298 - Two Ladies In My Life</h4>


    After Jasmine was bathed and dressed, Fu Hua carried her in his arms. He was so happy holding his daughter.


    The little girl stared at him with curiosity and licked her tongue often. She yawned at times and moved her little fingers to her mouth to lick them.


    "Don''t tell me she''s hungry." Fu Hua said as he nced at Jia Li who was drinking soup while sitting on the couch in the bedroom.


    "She is but I have to finish eating first. You have to go to your bedroom tonight." Jia Li said to him.


    "Why?" Fu Hua asked.


    "You haven''t slept properly for a few days now, you need some sleep. If you spend the night in the same room with us, I guarantee you that you won''t sleep a wink." Jia Li said with a smile.


    "I don''t mind. I just want to stay in the same space as you and my princess." Fu Hua said to her with a satisfied smile.


    Jia Li did not talk to him anymore. She just kept quiet and continued to drink her pork vinegar soup and eat a few side dishes that were served to her. She was preserving her energy for Jasmine at night and didn''t want to exin to him about the sleepless nights he would go through if he insisted on spending the night with them.


    Jia Li finished eating quickly before she carried Jasmine to breastfeed her. A few minutester, Jasmine''s eyes were closed but that didn''t stop her from sucking.


    When Fu Hua returned from his bedroom as he went to wash up and change into his nightwear, Jasmine was still sucking. He wasn''t surprised at all as Jasmine''s feeding habit can be understood. Sometimes she would suck for a long time before letting go.


    "I need to use the bathroom." Jia Li said in a soft tone as slowly pulled her nipple out from Jasmine''s mouth.


    Fu Hua walked over and took the little girl in his arms and sat on the couch as he had to make her burp, while Jia Li went for a bathroom break.


    While Jia Li was away, Housekeeper Zu knocked softly and came in with two thermal sks, one for hot water and the other for food. She brought a midnight soup and sacks for Jia Li, as it was normal for a breastfeeding mother to get hungry in the middle of the night.


    Housekeeper Zu was quiet as she bowed to Fu Hua and put down the sks on the table, before going over to make the baby''s bed.


    When Jia Li returned, she was already done making Jasmine''s bed.


    "Madam, this is your water and your midnight snacks." Housekeeper Zu said to her with a smile while pointing at the sks on the table.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li replied with a smile.


    Housekeeper Zu smiled and bid them goodnight before leaving.


    "Is she sleeping?" Jia Li asked with a smiling gaze.


    "I think so. She is still licking her lips and moving her fingers." Fu Hua replied in a hushed tone. He was scared of talking in his normal tone so as not to wake his little princess.


    "I think I will feed her some more, my boobs are very heavy and ufortable." Jia Li said as went over and took the little girl from him, before going over to sit on the special chair made just for her.


    She just gave birth and sitting on a soft chair or sofa wasn''t advisable.


    "Do you need the breast pump? It will be helpful if I can feed her while you get some sleep in the middle of the night." Fu Hua suggested. He wanted to share his wife''s difort with her.


    "I don''t trust you, you haven''t fed her before, you only learned through practice during my antenatal care. I will examine you tomorrow to see if you''re fit." Jia Li teased.


    "What!" ???? Fu Hua couldn''t believe Jia Li. What was she saying about not being fit to feed his little princess.


    "Don''t mind me, I''m joking. But honestly, I will pass for this night. I feel that it''s not right to bottle feed her yet, I feel so close to her when feeding her this way." Jia Li said with a sigh.


    "When you start working, you will have no choice." Fu Hua reminded her.


    "I know, so I''m going to enjoy every moment till that time." Jia Li replied.


    "That''s fine. You have one month confinement period and during this time, it''s too bad that I can''t touch you." Fu Hua teased.


    "Are you thinking of bedding me right now?" Jia Li asked with a chuckle.


    "Why not? It''s not wrong." Fu Hua replied.


    "You''re so shameless, don''t let Jasmine hear your shameless words." Jia Li warned.


    "I don''t mind. It''s not a bad thing that I want to bed her mama, it shows that I love you." Fu Hua said.


    "Seriously, I can''tmunicate with you." Jia Li said, giving up on arguing with him.


    "My assistant, Zimo will bring my work to the house for this period I have to stay at home." Fu Hua announced as he changed the subject swiftly.


    "The Autumn show is next month, are you sure it''s right to work from home?" Jia Li asked with an inquisitive gaze.


    "It''s totally fine. I will go to the office only if it''s necessary. I want to spend my time with the twodies in my life." Fu Hua replied happily.


    Jia Li smiled as she appreciated his love and care.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua chatted about FJ''s Autumn show, while Jasmine sucked till she let go of her mother''s breast.


    After Fu Huaid Jasmine in her cot that was beside Jia Li''s bed, he helped Jia Li to get into bed before joining her.


    "Does FJ have ns for the model that will wear the iconic piece for this season?" Jia Li asked curiously.


    Fu Hua''s ex-girlfriend Feng Alix was a Top model that FJ signed to model important pieces but since the contract was broken and she was banned, FJ has not made a recement and now Jia Li was curious about it.

    <h4>Chapter 299 - Godmothers Visit</h4>


    Fu Hua understood her worries. He smiled and brought her into his arms. "We have a new model to fill in that space, she will be revealed two weeks to the Autumn Fashion Show."


    "Why are you taking so long to reveal her?" Jia Li asked.


    "There is a strategy behind that and it wasn''t easy picking her from amongst the best." Fu Hua replied.


    "Oh, I see..."


    "When do you want to start working? Tell me once you''re ready and I will help you make some arrangements." Fu Hua said to her. He couldn''t wait for her to join FJ and showcase her talent.


    "I will tell you but I don''t need your help. I will get in through my efforts." Jia Li said with determination.


    "If you say so... go to sleep, you need some rest." Fu Hua said to her. He didn''t agree with her about getting in with her efforts as it won''t be an easy fit but he just had to agree with her at the moment.


    Jasmine woke up with cries more than 5 times in the middle of the night and her parents didn''t have a good night''s sleep.


    The next morning, Jia Li slept in while Fu Hua ced Jasmine in her portable carrier and took her downstairs for breakfast.


    The little girlid obediently in her carrier as her father carried her downstairs. Her sight was literally everywhere and settled only when her carrier was ced on the dining chair next to her dad.


    "Princess, you didn''t let your mother sleep a winkst night, you have to be obedient and let her get some sleep before getting hungry." Fu Hua said to the little girl in a soft tone.


    Jasmine looked so innocent but you wouldn''t believe that she was the same person that robbed sleep off her parents'' eyesst night.


    Fu Hua smiled and started eating while moving his cutlery ???? gently. In the middle of eating, Jasmine yawned and made small noises. She smacked her lips and sucked on her fingers.


    "Are you protesting? Are you hungry?" Fu Hua asked with a smile as he thought the aroma of his breakfast was making his little daughter hungry.


    Jasmine moved her head to the side and opened her mouth and closed them again. That was a sign of hunger that Fu Hua understood.


    "It looks like you''re hungry." Fu Hua said with a frown and began to eat quickly before Jasmine starts to cry.


    Quickly, he finished eating and asked Housekeeper Zu to get things for Jasmine''s bath ready in the nursery. He wanted Jia Li to get enough rest.


    While watching her daughter taking a bath, Fu Hua felt his heart melt because the little girl continued sucking on her fingers. Jasmine was already hungry and it was a good thing she wasn''t crying yet.


    Immediately she was dressed, He carried her in his arms and went to Jia Li''s bedroom only to see her dressed in new clothes and was eating.


    "Is she crying?" Jia Li asked with her gaze on them.


    "Not yet but it wouldn''t take long before that, as she is already moving a lot." Fu Hua replied as he got close to her.


    "Good thing I have freshened up already." Jia Li said and continued to eat.


    "I wanted you to get enough rest but it looks like it''s not possible." Fu Hua said to her. He was really surprised to see that she was already up, as had the time to bath and dress before Jasmine started with her troubles.


    "Thank you but there is no need." Jia Li replied. What was the need of sleeping in when that little girl would get hungry any moment? It wouldn''t be right if she didn''t have her bath and eat before then.


    Jia Li finished eating quickly and took Jasmine to breastfeed her. If Jasmine could talk, she would have protested against her parents for torturing her with the aroma of their food.


    First, his father ate in her presence and next, it was her mother. They really starved her.


    As Jia Li''s friends wereing over today, Fu Hua made some arrangements for them, while the kitchen prepared lunch.


    At noon, the three of themnded with excitement. They all had gifts in their hands for Jia Li and Jasmine.


    Jia Li was thrilled to see them as she made her way downstairs with Jasmine in her arms.


    "OMG! Our girl is a mother now!" Chang-Chang said excitedly.


    The threedies felt like screaming when they saw Jia Li and the baby but Jia Li hushed them on time. They knew better than to behave after thest incident of startling their goddaughter.


    "Congrattions!!!" Her friends chorused in a soft tone as they immediately surrounded her and the baby.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li replied with a smile.


    "She is so cute!" Chang-Chang said with her hands on her cheeks.


    "She is beautiful!" Daiyu said.


    "She is so peaceful." DanDan added.


    Jia Li finally made her way to the sitting room with her friends following her about before sitting on her special seat.


    "Can I carry her?" DanDan asked happily.


    "Present your gifts first." Jia Li said as she sat on her chair like a Queen givingmandments to her people.


    The threedies chuckled and pointed at the gifts they came with. They didn''t mention what they came with and only asked her to unwrap the gifts herself


    "Da-Xia looks just like you." Daiyumented.


    "Exactly and she is so quiet." Chang-Chang said.


    "Quiet? Jasmine is not quiet. You need to spend time with her at night to know what I''m talking about." Jia Li said.


    "I know how newborns are. You can''t get some sleep at night because you have to feed them." Daiyu said with a smoking gaze on the sleeping baby.


    "Jia Li, you can''tin. You need to feed our little girl and make her more chubby." DanDan said to her.


    "How can Iin about my precious child, I was only saying that she is not quite as it looks. If youdies trouble me, I will send you out and call in my pets. I haven''t seen Ocean and the puppies for 3 days now." Jia Li threatened.


    The threedies began to fawn over her. How could they ept her threat? They haven''t spent time with their goddaughter, so how could they leave?

 Chapter 300 - Way To Stardom

    <h4>Chapter 300 - Way To Stardom</h4>


    Jia Li ced Jasmine in her cot and chatted with the friends over some snacks to keep themselvespany.


    When Jasmine woke up from her nap, the threedies struggled for who would carry her first.


    "Don''t frighten my child!" Jia Li scolded them.


    "Why do I feel that I don''t know you anymore?" DanDan asked with a frown.


    "Jia Li is so fierce." Chang-Chang said with a pout.


    "I haven''t seen her react this way in a long time," DanDan said in agreement.


    "That''s because she is now a mother." Daiyu replied with a smile.


    "How can I not be fierce when you are fighting for who would carry my daughter?" Jia Li queried.


    "It''s alright, we are sorry for scaring our little girl. I will go first then." DanDan said with a smile and quickly moved to carry Jasmine from her cot. Her moves were so quick that there wasn''t time to stop her.


    "I will go next." Chang-Chang said immediately.


    "We will give her to the next person every 20 minutes," Daiyu suggested.


    "Should I be your timekeeper as well?" Jia Li asked from the side. She couldn''t believe how ridiculous her friends were. Her child was now an item that was being rotated to avoid them struggling and fighting over her.


    "No need to trouble you, you can rest while we take care of the baby on your behalf." Daiyu said with a smile.


    DanDan and Chang-Chang''s focus was on Jasmine who was staring at them with curiosity. They were no longer paying attention to Jia Li.


    Chang-Chang reached out her finger to touch Jasmine''s nose but Daiyu hit it away in time.


    "Your hand is filthy!" Daiyu teased.


    "You''re just jealous. I already cleaned my hands with the baby wipes." Chang-Chang said and brought out her tongue and right at that moment, Jasmine moved her gave to her.


    "What are you teaching Da-Xia?" Daiyu asked as she immediately pulled her away from Jasmine''s presence.


    "I didn''t mean to do that." Chang-Chang said as she sat on another couch like an obedient little bunny when she met Jia Li''s gaze.


    None of them wanted to teach Jasmine the wrong thing.


    Jia Li sighed and massaged her temples. It was a hassle to have three amateurdies as friends.


    "Jia Li, I have an announcement to make," Chang-Chang said as she remembered something.


    "What good news could you have?" Jia Li asked with a smile as her curiosity was at its peak.


    "I passed my audition and I am proud to announce that I am the newest member of Miss A girl group!" Chang-Chang announced excitedly.


    "OMG! Congrattions!" Jia Li said happily.


    "Thank you!" Chang-Chang replied happily.


    DanDan and Daiyu didn''t seem surprised because they already know about it. They only smiled when Chang-Chang announced it to Jia Li.


    "Your hard work finally paid off, I''m happy for you!" Jia Li said excitedly.


    Jia Li was happy for her friend that her dreams finally came to reality. Joining a girl group had always been Chang-Chang''s dream and she trained so hard for it. Today, she was signed to one of the popr girl groups in the country. Although the group was still new, it was already popr because of the publicity given to them.


    Jia Li spent time with her friends and they chatted about a lot of things, while they exchanged Jasmine every 20 minutes. The only time Jia Li got to hold her daughter was when the little girl was very hungry.


    After eating, Jasmine was sleeping in her carrier that Jia Li put beside her.


    When Jia Li''s friends left, it was already evening and Fu Hua who has been busy in his study came out to spend time with his wife and daughter.


    Jia Li personally served him a cold drink because of the hot weather. Although the AC was turned on and Fu Hua could not feel the heat still, that slightly chilled drink and some snacks was a good treat.


    Jasmine spent most of her time gazing at her father''s face. The way she stared at people was so cute.


    Over the next few days, Fu Hua worked on his studies in the afternoons while Jia Li would bring in her pets to the sitting room and spend time with them.


    Jia Li was happy the first time she introduced Jasmine to her pets. Ocean and her puppies surrounded Jasmine who was in her carrier. Ocean barked excitedly and kept wagging her tail.


    As for the little puppies, they were equally excited about meeting the newborn and tried to climb inside Jasmine''s carrier several times but Jia Li stopped them in time. And atst, she had to carry Jasmine out of the carrier and hold her in her arms still, the puppies didn''t let her rest. They surrounded her and made sounds of protest.


    Jia Li had to sit on the rug with Jasmine in her arms while her back rested on the couch. She let the puppies get close to Jasmine and greet her but she didn''t let them touch her.


    Jasmine had her gaze on the two little things that surrounded her. And it was possible that she would have grabbed them if she was able to.


    Jia always had a nice afternoon with Jasmine and her pets.


    Sometimes, when Jasmine and was taking a nap and Jia Li got bored and wanted to take some walks, she would put her in her stroller and take walks outside the house in the evenings and at times, Fu Hua would join her if he was less busy.


    Slowly, Jia Li was thinking about entering FJ soon. She was thinking of doing that when Jasmine would be 5-6 months old. She couldn''t afford to waste time because she was not the only talented or gifted person in the world.


    She wanted to walk her way to stardom through hard work but she had to be smart. Jia Li was still considering a lot of things and hadn''t yete to a conclusion, so she couldn''t talk about it.


    As Fu Hua was working on the uing fashion show, he was also busy making the dress Jia Li designedst time. He got an idea for it. He was not going to release it and use it for the Autumn show, as he had another n for it.


    FJ nned to release new designs a month after the fashion show and he nned to include her design as well.

 Chapter 301 - Zimo Discovers The Identity Of The Hidden Wife

    <h4>Chapter 301 - Zimo Discovers The Identity Of The Hidden Wife</h4>


    It has been a week since Jia Li returned home and the Fu family hasn''t stopped sending her gifts and soups.


    Because of Fu Hua''s strictness, he drafted out a time and some days they were allowed to visit.


    Today, Zimo came over to deliver some documents to Fu Hua. This was his 2nd time in this ce and he still hasn''t seen thedy boss and there was no way he could say he wanted to see her, right? Before leaving after his first visit, he sent his regards to thedy boss but he was sure his boss wouldn''t bother to ry his messages which was true.


    After reporting work matters to Fu Hua, it was time to leave as there was no more use for him. He sighed disappointedly as he was going to leave without seeing thedy boss again.


    Fu Hua had no idea of his thoughts because if he knew about it, he would have probably sent him away immediately.


    As Asst. Zimo turned to leave, he heard a gentle female voice that seemed toe from the entrance. Instinctively, he turned over and smiled with his gaze at the entrance.


    Fu Hua didn''t notice that as he equally had his gaze at the entrance. He got to his feet and strode over and Zimo followed behind him immediately.


    Jia Li appeared pushing Jasmine in her stroller while Mei followed after them with a smile as she was holding onto a fancy basket. They had juste back from a stroll.


    "You took time today." Fu Hua said with a smile as he came to stand before them.


    Jia Li smiled and raised her face to reply, "Jasmine liked the fun of basking in the warm weather, so we stayed out for a little while."


    Fu Hua nced at the little girl in her stroller to see her kicking her feet and licking her fingers. As he leaned over, Jasmine nced at him and slowly removed her fingers from her mouth.


    Zimo who was standing at the side finally caught sight of thedy boss''s looks and he was so shocked that he forgot to greet or move.


    This was a jaw-dropping scene to him. He was so shocked that he forgot his manners.


    You must be wondering the reason he was so shocked and that''s because he knew Jia Li from somewhere.


    She was the same person theirpany has been trying to poach for a long time and she has been the interest and focus of the media after she appeared on the news channels and newspapers after winning the award ???? for the best dress during her graduation.


    Her school was so prestigious that the students there were known for their incredible talents anding first ce would make her stand out and bring about attention from the media.


    Zimo was still lost when Jia Li noticed him. She looked surprised to see him as well and immediately asked Fu Hua who lifted Jasmine in his arms at this time, "You have a visitor?"


    "Good evening, Bossdy." As he was already noticed by Jia Li, he managed to bow and greet her respectfully in a nervous tone.


    Fu Hua frowned when he nced behind him and saw his assistant. He had no idea that he was still present.


    "What are you still doing here?" Fu Hua asked in a cold tone. He was really annoyed as he felt that Zimo had invaded his privacy but he was not too bothered now that he has seen what his wife looked like and his child''s face.


    Zimo could detect the annoyance in his Boss''s tone and immediately apologized in an audible tone.


    "Don''t scare my child with your loud voice. I don''t need to remind you on what to say and what not to say right?" Fu Hua said with a dangerous gaze directed at him.


    "Yes Boss, I will take my leave now." Zimo said with a bow and then turned to bow to Jia Li before walking away hurriedly. He didn''t manage to nce at the little princess of his Boss before he left hurriedly.


    "Who was that?" Jia Li asked as her face followed Zimo till he disappeared from their sight.


    "What are you looking at? He is my assistant Zimo, he came over to deliver some documents to me and to talk about the fashion show." Fu Hua replied after he got her attention.


    "Oh! He won''t tell on us will he?" Jia Li asked worriedly since Zimo had seen her face. She was the hidden wife of the CEO of a fashion brand and her identity has been on the hot topic. She was worried that everyone will find out about her true identity and that would be a hassle.


    "He can only do that when he is tired of living. Come and sit, you must be tired." Fu Hua said as he held Jasmine in one arm and pulled Jia Li''s hand with the other hand to go over to sit on the couch.


    Jia Li rxed as she didn''t have to worry about her identity being uncovered. Before she didn''t like the idea of her identity being hidden although she wasn''t expecting much at that time since her marriage with Fu Hua was forced. But now she had ns for herself, she didn''t want her identity as Fu Hua''s wife to be uncovered as she wanted to be qualified to stand beside him.


    The poprity and the little achievement she has made so far were not enough for it, so she had to work hard till she was at a point where she wouldn''t have to worry if she was qualified to be his wife or not.


    Outside the house, Zimo finally let out the breath he has been holding. He was still shocked by the identity of his Boss''s wife. He couldn''t believe what he has just seen.


    The person that has been giving their Chief Designer worries because she failed to poach her was their Boss''s wife.


    Zimo was almost going crazy the more he thought deeply about these matters. He felt that the secret he just learned might end up killing him.


    As he got into his car and drove away, he began to think about Fu Hua''s intentions of keeping this huge secret from them.


    At this point, Zimo felt that his kidnapping value had increased immensely after getting a hold of this sort-after news.


    Anyone that would kidnap him for answers rting to the identity of his Boss''s wife, will definitely win the jackpot.

 Chapter 302 - Working Softly For Her

    <h4>Chapter 302 - Working Softly For Her</h4>


    When Zimo went back to the office, he was a little lost and had to pull himself together and deliver Fu Hua''s message to the directors, before he was surrounded by the curious staff who wanted to know if he met their Boss''s wife and his child.


    Zimo denied meeting them and immediately escaped from their clutches and got questions.


    As Zimo went back to his office, he sighed tiredly as he massaged his temples. He still couldn''t fathom Fu Hua''s thoughts for keeping this huge secret from them. He gave them such a hard time by hiding the identity of his wife.


    As Zimo had a lot of work to do, he immediately pulled himself together and went back to work. Despite all these feelings somewhere in his heart, he was delighted for being the only outsider to learn of this news.


    He was grateful for his Boss''s trust.


    As Fu Hua has been spending quality time with his wife and daughter, while taking some time off to continue with his work in the workshop, somebody somewhere was plotting on how to get her daughter into hispany.


    Bai Fen was currently on a call with her brother and finding a way out there for Bai Jun.


    "... since your friend''s wife''s rtive has such a high rank at FJ, she will be able to help Jun get into FJ, help me talk to her, I don''t mind the cost, money is not a problem."


    "... I will help you ask but I doubt it''s possible. You are on good terms with the Fu''s and are in a better position to get your daughter into FJ, so why did you turn to me?" Bai Fen''s brother asked.


    Bai Fen was lost for words for a moment before replying, "Although I am on good terms with the Fu''s, I don''t want to trouble them. Please brother, help me, just this once."


    There was silence for a few seconds before her brother spoke. "I will help you then. This is a huge favor you''re asking, so it won''t be easy on my side."


    "Thank you!" Bai Fen said with a smile. After their conversation ended, she sighed and put her phone aside while hoping for the connection to pull through.


    Two dayster, Bai Fen got good and bad news.


    Her brother was able to get in touch with one of the Top designers in FJ through his wife. Unfortunately, FJ wasn''t employing anyone and had no ns for that as there was an uing Autumn fashion show and everyone in FJ had their attention on the fashion show.


    That was the bad news. Now the good news is...


    After the Autumn fashion show, there may be an opportunity to take in new people. This good news was enough for Bai Fen who thanked her brother before immediately going to Bai Jun''s bedroom to announce the news to her.


    Bai Jun almost cried when she heard the first part of the news but after her mother quickly added the second part, she became happy as all lost hopes were restored.


    "You need to start preparing to get into FJ as you would need to prove your talents to them." Bai Fen reminded her.


    "I know. I will have to study hard in order for my works to be acknowledged." Bai Jun replied with a proud smile. As her dreams were graduallying to reality, she felt so happy.


    "Do you need me to get a coach for you?" Bai Fen asked with her gaze on her.


    "Yes, the earlier the better. Mum, you need to get the best one." Bai Jun instructed. Since she was working to get into FJ, she had to use the best resources.


    At least she understood one thing, that a ce like FJ wasn''t for people like her. Her designs wouldn''t be able to catch their attention that way, so she needs to improve on a lot of things.


    "Of course, I will. Your grandmother and father will definitely agree to get you a good coach no matter the cost since this has to do with your career." Bai Fen said in agreement.


    Bai Jun thought about something and asked, "But mum, I am scared of grandmother''s reaction when she finds out about my intentions of getting into FJ after she warned me to stay away from the Fu family."


    Bai Fen wasn''t worried at all. She smiled and ced her hand on her shoulder. "We are not going to tell anyone about this until you have already gotten into FJ. If your grandmother, father, aunties, or anyone from our family finds out about this, then everything will be over!"


    "Then what about the Fu family, what if they find out about this?" Bai Jun asked in a worried tone. She was scared of anyone ruining her ns and she was hoping her fears won''te true.


    "Do you think they have that kind of time to monitor the recruits or employees at FJ? There are already people who are not members of the Fu family to handle that in FJ and you don''t need to worry about that, you only need to worry about keeping your lips sealed and improving on yourself." Bai Fen said to her.


    "Mum, I will have to rely on you then." Bai Jun said with a satisfied smile.


    She felt happy and rxed at everything was working softly for her. She would really throw a party if she got into FJ sooner.


    As for FangSu, her ban was lifted a weekter. She was so excited when her phone was returned to her and she was allowed to leave the house.


    The first thing she did after she got her phone was to dial Bai Jun''s contact but unfortunately, the call didn''t go through. She tried the number for almost an hour before she gave up.


    She was sitting on her couch and biting her lips frustratedly when she remembered she had Bai Fen''s contact and without wasting time she quickly dialed her number.


    It took some time before Bai Fen answer her call.


    "FangSu, you got your phone back?" Bai Fen asked in a lively tone.


    "Yes Aunty, my grandfather locked me up, he...." FangSu went on toin about the punishment she received.

 Chapter 303 - Full Of Herself

    <h4>Chapter 303 - Full Of Herself</h4>


    Bai Fen pretended to care for her andforted her in a sweet tone. FangSu felt loved by the way Bai Fen spoke to her.


    As Bai Fen was about to hang up, FangSu remembered the reason for making that call.


    "Aunty, I can''t reach Jun, how is she?." FangSu asked in a concerned tone.


    Bai Fen Chuckled and replied, "Jun is fine, but she is a little under the weather."


    "She is sick? I wille over to see her." FangSu said immediately.


    Bai Fen was rmed and said to her, "Don''te over, It''s useless as Jun won''t be able to see you, wait till she has recovered."


    "But I feel bad as we haven''t beenmunicating for a long period. I, at least need toe over to visit her" FangSu said in a worried tone. Learning that her good friend was sick, she felt uneasy and wanted to visit.


    Bai Fen was annoyed at how stubborn FangSu was. She was only being nice to her, because FangSu didn''t seem to want to give up on the rtionship she had with her daughter, despite all she had lost. But she was annoyed as she couldn''t continue acting sweetly and tolerating her, especially now that she was trying to avoid her.


    "FangSu, there is no need to visit. You can see Bai Jun when she has made full recovery. If youe over now, it''s useless, and besides, your family is against this, so please stay at home and don''t cause any more trouble. Let''s talk another time." Bai Fen said and went on to hang up, to FangSu''s surprise.


    As brainless as FangSu was, the only thing she thought was wrong, was that Bai Fen was avoiding her because of her family. She got angry when she thought up to that point, but there was nothing she could do.


    Anyway, she had no power in her family currently, and she needed a job, so she would go find one for herself. She didn''t want to get help from anyone and decided to go job hunting herself to prove that she was capable of taking care of herself.


    Going to FJ with full assurance to apply for a job, FangSu dressed in one of her expensive pants and essories.


    When Fu Hee saw her, she was curious and asked where she was going, dressed up like that.


    "I''m going to find a job, I don''t want to rely on grandfather''s money, so he wouldn''t have the right to freeze the money I worked hard for," FangSu replied arrogantly as she pats her straight shoulder-length hair.


    "Oh... go ahead then." Fu Hee said and walked past her with a sk in her hand. She was dressed as well, and she seemed to be in a good mood.


    FangSu saw the sk in her hand and asked, "Mum, where are you going to?."


    "I''m going to your brother''s house to visit Jia Li and my grandchild." Fu Hee replied happily and walked away without hesitation. As she has been allowed to visit once in a while, she was happy. And this was the first time she was going alone.


    Due to that happiness, she personally made some healthy soup for Jia Li.


    FangSu squeezed her face in a frown. She was jealous as her mother had no time for her and instead wanted to go and visit her enemy.


    FangSu''s lovenguage is attention from people she loves and admires. And now that she was not getting it, she was clearly unhappy.


    FangSu left the house angrily. She got into her car and drove away. Although her freedom was returned to her, it was a little restricted. She was not allowed to visit the Bai house, but it looks like that part didn''t sink into her head because she thought of going to visit Bai Jun earlier.


    Grandfather Fu asked her to get a job for herself, as he was no longer going to support her until he sees a positive change in her attitude.


    The only money FangSu had in her ount was all she could ever get. At least she had the sense to start looking for a job earlier before she runs out of money.


    When FangSu got to FJ, she parked her car and got out of it with her expensive handbag ???? and a file with her. She strutted into thepany in confidence and went straight to meet the receptionists there.


    She told them what she came for and submitted her file to them. Normally, they would have turned her down. But her name sounded familiar to her, so they took her file from her to nce at her resum¨¦.


    Seeing that ''Fu'' name printed beside her, that was a good start for her. The receptionists there smiled and treated her warmly. One of them quickly searched FangSu''s name on the inte and read the short biography. She was shocked and immediately whispered to the one beside her...


    "She is the CEO''s younger sister."


    That way, all the receptionists knew her identity. FangSu took off her sunshades and nced at them with a proud look.


    The receptionists thought that FangSu was humble and didn''t want to use her connections to get employed, and they treated her respectfully.


    "Miss, we will help you to submit your Resum¨¦. We will keep you posted if there is any update."


    FangSu pushed her sun-shades back to her eyes after she smiled at them, then she proceeded to leave her name card with them and walked away full of herself.


    "Don''t you think she is a little arrogant?." One of them asked with a frown.


    "What do you know? I don''t mind if she acts that way, she is so rich and came from a wealthy family, she has all the right to be arrogant." Another replied.


    "Stop gossiping and get back to work, I will submit her Resum¨¦." The other receptionists said and picked up FangSu''s file and walked towards the elevator.


    FangSu felt that she has already achieved a lot. She thought she has made it for herself and went out to celebrate. She went shopping before going to a restaurant to eat an expensive meal.


    Before going back home, she has almost spent half of the money in her bank ount.


    When she got home, she was all smiles as the servants carried several shopping bags and followed after her.


    When Butler Lu saw this scene, he sighed and shook his head in disappointment, and walked away.

 Chapter 304 - The More She Fell In Love With Her

    <h4>Chapter 304 - The More She Fell In Love With Her</h4>


    Fu Hee was very happy when she was received warmly after getting to Fu Hua''s house. Housekeeper Zu ushered her in and led her to the couch to sit.


    "Where is Jia Li?." Fu Hee asked with all smiles.


    "Ma''am is upstairs, she will be here in a minute." Housekeeper Zu replied politely and walked away to get some snacks for her.


    Jia Li was aware that her mother-inw wasing, so she didn''t waste time. She carried Jasmine and went downstairs, and didn''t bother to inform Fu Hua who was currently working in the workshop.


    Mei was holding the carrier where Jasmine wasying inside, while Jia Li made her way down the stairs with the help of the rail. She was still getting used to her body which hurts down there any time she made a big move.


    When Jia Li got to the living room, Housekeeper Zu had just finished serving Fu Hee.


    Fu Hee was the first to greet Jia Li when she saw her. She smiled and walked towards her.


    "Jia Li, how are you?" Fu Hee asked with a smiling gaze.


    "I''m fine, Aunty." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    The two women walked over to sit on the 3-sitter couch. Mei ced Jasmine''s carrier on the floor beside Jia Li''s feet and went on to carry out the cute little girl whose eyes has been wandering around. She loved the feeling of being carried about.


    Mei handed Jasmine over to Jia Li before walking some distance away.


    "Aunty, thank you foring." Jia Li said with a polite smile.


    "I should be the one thankful that you allowed me to visit. How is Da Xia doing?." Fu Hee asked with a smile as she peeped to see her granddaughter.


    "She is fine Aunty, you can hold her." Jia Li said to her. She knew how much her mother-inw wanted to hold her little one, as she could see the yearning in her eyes.


    Fu Hee looked surprised and asked just to confirm if she heard clearly, "Really, I can hold her?."


    "Yes." Jia Li replied with a smile and unwrapped the shawl that was wrapped around Jasmine, before passing Jasmine to her


    "Thank you!." Fu Hee said excitedly as she happily weed her granddaughter in her arms.


    Jasmine moved her hands and feet about after she was released from the bondage that held her hands and feet together.


    The little girl smacked her lips and slowly fixed her gaze on her grandmother.


    Fu Hee was all smiles, as this was the first time she was holding the newborn in her arms. She called out her name and introduced herself while holding her carefully in her arms.


    "Da Xia, I am your grandmother."


    "Da Xia, you look so cute."


    Fu Hee said a few more words to her, before turning to Jia Li to say, "I almost forgot I brought soup for you. This will help to remove the remaining blood in your womb."


    Jia Li nced at the sk she came with and asked in a curious tone, "Aunty, is it bitter?."


    "Why are you worried about the taste? This is something that will help your health." Fu Hee said with a smile.


    "Aunty, this past few days, I''ve been eating a lot of things that are bitter, I don''t think I can eat any more of it." Jia Liined.


    This was the first time Fu Hee was finding Jia Li''s actions funny. She reasoned that Jia Liined to close up the distance between them. She smiled happily and said to her, "Don''t worry, the soup is not bitter, I made it myself. I added a lot of meat and fish to it, so you can enjoy it withoutints."


    "Thank you, Aunty!." Jia Li said happily and immediately called Mei toe and serve the soup for her.


    Mei walked over and picked up the sk and went into the kitchen. She came back 2 minutester with the soup, turned into a bowl ????


    Jia Li took the tray from her hands and ced it on her thighs. Next, she picked up the spoon and had a taste of the soup.


    Fu Hee was staring at her with an expectant gaze and asked, "How is it, do you like the taste?."


    "Yes Aunty, it''s nice. The soup is hot as well, so I love it more." Jia Li replied with a smile. The soup was delicious and had lots of meat and fish inside, and that was what she loved the most.


    "I brought enough soup for two servings, you should drink the remaining soup when it''s very hot, it will go a long way. Since you like the soup, I will being often to deliver it to you." Fu Hee said with a smile.


    "I will have to thank you in advance." Jia Li said with an appreciative smile.


    Fu Hee fixed her gaze back on the little girl in her arms. Jasmine kept on smacking her lips and finally moved her fingers to her mouth to suck them.


    As Jasmine had her saliva on her mouth and hands, Mei passed Jasmine''s handkerchief to Fu Hee, so she could clean her little hands and mouth with it.


    The more Fu Hee watched Jasmine''s actions, the more she fell in love with her.


    When Jia Li finished eating, she remembered that Fu Hee had not touched her snacks yet, and she immediately reminded her about it.


    "Aunty, let me hold Jasmine while you eat your snacks."


    Fu Hee listened to her and allowed her to take Jasmine from her arms.


    "Does she cry a lot?." Fu Hee asked as she picked up her te of healthy snacks.


    "She only cries when she is hungry or needs a change of diaper." Jia Li replied.


    "That''s good, she is such an obedient child. I don''t see Fu Hua, where is he?." Fu Hee asked after she remembered her son.


    "He is working in the workshop." Jia Li answered.


    Fu Hee chatted with Jia Li for a while before getting to hold her grandchild again. Before Fu Hee left, Fu Hua came downstairs.


    Housekeeper Zu already alerted them that Fu Hua wasing downstairs, so Fu Hee quickly handed Jasmine over to Jia Li, and they all pretended that nothing happened.


    Fu Hua nced at them in suspicion and made his way towards them.

 Chapter 305 - Easily Forgiven

    <h4>Chapter 305 - Easily Forgiven</h4>


    "Are you through with your work?" Jia Li asked immediately with a nervous smile.


    "Not yet, I''m taking a break." Fu Hua said as he came to stand beside her. He leaned over and gazed at Jasmine with a smile.


    Jasmine quickly fixed her gaze on him and moved her fingers to her lips and next, she let out a yawn.


    Fu Hua smiled at her gestures and quickly carried her in his arms and walked away while saying to Jia Li, "I will put her to sleep."


    "Wait, I thought you said you wanted to take a break?" Jia Li asked quickly.


    "My daughter is more important than rest." Fu Hua replied and continued walking away till he disappeared from their view.


    "Do you think he did that on purpose?" Fu Hee asked in a hushed tone. Her voice was very small and Jia Li could barely hear her. She was afraid Fu Hua might hear her if he hasn''t left yet.


    "It looks like." Jia Li replied. She guessed Fu Hua did that on purpose. He might have not wanted his mother to hold his child and knowing how soft-hearted Jia Li was, he didn''t think she would be able to hold back.


    Fu Hee sighed and didn''t say anything again. Jia Li thought she was feeling bad and said to her in a soft tone, "Aunty, don''t be too worried. There are many opportunities for you to hold Jasmine."


    "I''m not sad at all. It''s all my fault. It''s gettingte, I have to leave now." Fu Hee said as she picked up her handbag and got to her feet.


    "I will walk you out." Jia Li said with a smile but Fu Hee stopped her.


    "Don''t worry, I will leave on my own. You should get some rest now that Fu Hua is with the child." Fu Hee said to her with a smile.


    Jia Li nodded and called a servant to walk her out.


    After Fu Hee left, Jia Li went upstairs to see find Fu Hua. She saw him in her bedroom rocking Jasmine to sleep.


    "Is she sleeping yet?" Jia Li asked in a soft tone.


    "Yes." Fu Hua replied in a gentle tone as he put Jasmine in her cot.


    "Has your visitor left?" He asked as he stood straight with his hands in his pocket.


    "You mean your mother? She has left. Why are you so cold towards her? You didn''t even say a word of greeting. You ignored her like she wasn''t there." Jia Li said with a frown.


    "Does she have the right toin? She came to see our daughter, what right does she have to see the child she almost killed when she was still in the womb?!" Fu Hua said angrily.


    Jia Li was tongue-tied. She had forgotten about that part and that''s because it was easy for her to forgive people if they were repentant but Fu Hua was different, he was good at holding grudges.


    "But that happened in the past." Jia Li said softly.


    "I don''t care! No one who tried to harm my family will be easily forgiven!" Fu Hua said and walked out angrily.


    Jia Li was surprised at his reaction. She had no idea he would react this strongly. She thought he was starting to forgive his mother since he allowed her to visit but who knew it wasn''t from his heart.


    Jia Li couldn''t remember thest time Fu Hua reacted that way towards her and it looked like he was very angry.


    Jia Li sighed and nced at her sleeping baby before ncing at the door. She didn''t know what to do. Leave the baby and go and see Fu Hua or stay in the room with the baby and get some rest.


    It was useless for Jia Li to think too much because she went with the first option, as there was no way she would be able to rest since Fu Hua was still angry, hence she checked on Jasmine before leaving the room.


    Fu Hua went back to the workshop to continue working. He looked a bit surprised to see Jia Li.


    "Did you leave the child alone?" He asked with a frown.


    "Yes, I had no choice. You walked out on me angrily, so I had toe and meet you since I can''t rest peacefully anyway." Jia Li replied as she came to stand in front of his desk.


    "I didn''t walk out on you, I left because I was angry with my mother." Fu Hua exined after he sighed tiredly.


    "What''s the difference?" Jia Li asked.


    Fu Hua was left speechless by her statement. He couldn''t believe his exnation was useless to her.


    "I''m sorry if you felt that way. Go back and rest, I will join youter." Fu Hua said to her. Since exining didn''t work, there was no need to waste time as he had to apologize.


    "Don''t make me wait for too long." Jia Li said and walked away. His apology meant a lot to her.


    Fu Hua sighed again and went back to work. He worked for 20 more minutes before going to find Jia Li.


    When he got to her bedroom, she was already sleeping. He smiled as he checked on Jasmine. The little one moved her hands to her face and wrinkled her brows before her hands slowly fell back to her sides again.


    Fu Hua made sure she wasfortable before going to join Jia Li in bed. He kissed her cheek beforeying next to her and then he hugged her waist from behind and closed his eyes.


    When Fu Hee got home, she saw FangSu surrounded with different kinds of snacks and fruits while she was basking in the evening breeze as she seemed to be in a good mood as she ate away.


    "As a model, are you not supposed to be on diet for your weight?" Fu Hee asked with a frown.


    "I am not bothered about it. I am about to get into FJ, so I have to eat all the good food now, while I can. FJ is hard work.." FangSu said as she continued eating.

 Chapter 306 - Out On A Date

    <h4>Chapter 306 - Out On A Date</h4>


    Fu Hee looked surprised as she asked, "You''re getting into FJ? Did your brother approve of it?"


    "I don''t need his help! I can get in myself. I just found out that things are a lot easier when I do them myself." FangSu said with a confident smile.


    Fu Hee gave her a weird nce before walking away.


    FangSu thought her mother was probably too shocked that she was capable of getting herself into FJ and a smug smile appeared on her face.


    The next morning after breakfast, Jia Li took Jasmine to the workshop to apany Fu Hua while he worked on the dress she designed.


    Jia Li was surprised that with his busy schedule, he was still able to work on the dress.


    "You are not permitted to say too much, only Jasmine." Fu Hua warned as he narrows his gaze on her.


    "Don''t you think that''s unfair?" Jia Li asked with a frown.


    "Is it? Why don''t you go out and y with your dogs, I wouldn''t mind for today." Fu Hua suggested with a smirk.


    Jia Li frowned even more and said to him, "You are bullying me. You know very well that I want to learn from you."


    Jia Li wanted to watch Fu Hua while he worked and Fu Hua knew about it. He knew that she was very interested in watching him and wouldn''t take her pets important, hence he mentioned it.


    "I have to control you at least in this part. Because you are my wife, I will adjust my rules a little. You can ask questions but you are not allowed to distract me." Fu Hua said.


    "That sounds better." Jia Li said with a smile.


    Jasmine soon fell asleep, while her mother gazed at her father as he worked. Jia Li only raised a few questions till it was time for Fu Hua to end the making dress section.


    "What do you n to do with this dress?" Jia Li asked.


    "I''m going to release it along with a few dresses after the Autumn show as part of a new collection." Fu Hua replied.


    "If you''re going to do that, why do you bother to make the dress yourself? You can easily pass it to the creative arts department." Jia Li said in a bid to hear his thoughts.


    "I love making my wife''s dresses." Fu Hua replied as he covered the half-finished dress on the mannequin with a big in white sheet.


    Jia Li smiled happily. She noticed he was always making her dresses even though he could end up sending the design to the creative arts department. She wanted to know his reason and she has found out now.


    In the evening, Jia Li was in the living room with her pets watching the TV with Jasmine sleeping in her carrier when Jia Li received a call from Fu Meixu.


    Thetter called to inform her that her movie, ''The Filmmaker'' would be out in the Cinemas on Friday morning, which was in 2 days.


    "Congrattions!!!" Jia Li said to her.


    "Thank you! I would have dragged you to the cinema with me on Friday evening to watch the movie but your little cutie pie would get in the way." Fu Meixu said in a childish tone.


    "I can watch the movieter." Jia Li said as she chuckled softly.


    "I know... how is Jasmine doing?" Fu Meixu asked.


    "She is fine. She can grab little things like my fingers now." Jia Li said with a chuckle.


    "She is growing so quickly. I wille to visit after my movie is out in the cinemas." Fu Meixu said.


    "Alright, we will be waiting." Jia Li said with a smile.


    After the call with Jia Li, Fu Meixu received another call. She smiled profoundly when she saw Shi Qiao''s name on the caller ID.


    Fu Meixu answered the call and greeted him in a soft tone. Her tone was as gentle as the breeze.


    Fu Meixu and Shi Qiao talked for over 15 minutes before she hung up. Fu Meixu was all smiles after the call ended. Shi Qiao asked her out on a date after her movie premiers.


    Of course, Fu Meixu epted it. She was happier she was going out with Zhi Ruo''s boyfriend and she wished for Zhi Ruo to get a hold of the news somehow.


    Quickly, Friday came. In the evening by 4 pm, Fu Meixu was already out and on her way to the cinema. She and Shi Qiao agreed to meet at the cinema. After the movie, they would go to a nice restaurant to eat.


    When they met each other outside the cinema, Fu Meixu looked embarrassed seeing Shi Qiao smile so gently at her.


    "You look beautiful." Shi Qiaoplimented her as his gentle gaze rested on her.


    "Thank you! You don''t look bad either." Fu Meixu said in return.


    "Thank you!" Shi Qiao replied.


    "I hope your girlfriend wouldn''t mind that you are out with me?" Fu Meixu asked.


    "Zhi Ruo wouldn''t mind. You are my friend and besides, you are in the samepany as her. Treat this date as a bribe to be on the lookout for her." Shi Qiao said with a smile.


    "Is it possible to look after a veteran? Sister Ruo has many people looking after her." Fu Meixu said with a smile.


    "Oh! forget I said anything then. Let''s take this date as an opportunity to rx. Let''s go in." Shi Qiao said with a smile and gestured to her to go in.


    Shi Qiao bought a big bowl of popcorn and some drinks to entertain them while they watched the movie.


    In the 2 hours, they spent in the cinema, it was not more than 5 times they exchanged words.


    After the movie ended and they left the cinema, Shi Qiaoplimented Fu Meixu for her good acting. He didn''t forget his girlfriend as well. Heplimented her for being able to portray her role as the viiness.


    Fu Meixuughed in her mind. She knew the only reason they were able to portray their characters very well, it''s because they disliked each other to the core.


    In a movie where the female lead is strong and dominating and the supporting female character tried to do everything she could to take over but failed. There needed to be a deep connection and emotions being conveyed in the movie by the characters.

 Chapter 307 - Out With Another Woman

    <h4>Chapter 307 - Out With Another Woman</h4>


    In the restaurant, Shi Qiao ced an order for them and while waiting for their dishes to be served, they chatted happily.


    From afar, a female figure caught sight of Shi Qiao and Fu Meixu. She couldn''t believe her eyes. She walked towards them and clicked a picture of them before approaching their table.


    "Shi Qiao." The female figure greeted with a smile that was not a smile.


    Shi Qiao and Fu Meixu nced at the familiar figure that interrupted them. Shi Qiao smiled and greeted her politely. "LangFeng, you''re here?"


    LangFeng ignored his pleasantries and asked directly, "Why are you here alone, where is Zhi Ruo?"


    "I''m not here alone, I came out with a friend. Zhi Ruo is not in the city." Shi Qiao replied.


    Fu Meixu who has been quiet all this while smiled satisfactorily at Shi Qiao''s response before interrupting...


    "Miss LangFeng, I guess you did not see me. I am Sister Ruo''s junior, Fu Meixu." Fu Meixu introduced herself with a smile while sittingfortably in her seat.


    "Miss Fu, don''t you know that Shi Qiao is Zhi Ruo''s boyfriend? Are you that shameless to meet him behind her back?" LangFeng asked whileshing out at her.


    "LangFeng! if you are here to cause trouble, please leave. Meixu is my friend." Shi Qiao said with a frown. He didn''t like LangFeng''s attitude towards Fu Meixu and he could sense her hostility.


    LangFeng frowned. She still had something more to say but Fu Meixu cut her off.


    "Miss LangFeng, I think you have something against me. Don''t worry, I''m not a boyfriend snatcher. And besides, Sister Ruo never admitted that Mr. Shi was her boyfriend when she was asked about it, I only learned about it when I became friends with Mr. Shi."


    Fu Meixu pretended to be angry while saying all of that. Shi Qiao thought she had been wronged greatly and felt bad. He hurriedly sent LangFeng away after he asked her to mind her words.


    LangFeng was so angry when she left the restaurant. She stopped right outside the door and sent the pictures she took to Zhi Ruo before calling her on phone.


    At the 3rd ring, Zhi Ruo answered the call. Her voice sounded drowsy as she asked, "LangFeng, why are you calling me by this time?"


    "I can''t believe you are sleeping by this time when your boyfriend is out with another woman." LangFeng scolded her angrily.


    Zhi Ruo became clearheaded as she sat up on her bed. Hearing that her boyfriend was out with another woman, was enough to wake her sleepy head.


    "What did you say? Which woman is that?" Zhi Ruo asked immediately. She was very curious to find out more details about it.


    "I sent you a picture I managed to take. How you want to deal with it, all depends on you. I''m so angry, good night!" LangFeng said and hung up on her before walking away.


    After LangFeng hung up, Zhi Ruo quickly checked on the picture she sent to her. Seeing her boyfriend, Shi Qiao and her enemy, Fu Meixu, her eyes turned red in anger as she cursed, "That bitch!"


    "Are you okay?" Shi Qiao asked Fu Meixu with a frown. He was worried that she took LangFeng''s attitude to heart.


    "I''m fine. I''m only worried that Sister Ruo will misunderstand. I think I have to leave now." Fu Meixu said as she tried taking her purse to stand up but Shi Qiao ced his hand on hers and stopped her.


    "There is nothing to be scared of. Zhi Ruo is my girlfriend but she doesn''t like going out with me that much. You are my friend and I don''t think it''s wrong to go out with you." Shi Qiao said to her.


    "But..." Fu Meixu said but Shi Qiao cut her off right at the moment their order came to them.


    "There is no but eat first and then I will drop you off at your ce since you''re ufortable."


    "Thank you!" Fu Meixu said with a smile. Inwardly, she chuckled to herself, as her clutches were really tight on him.


    She knew that LangFeng would surelyin to Zhi Ruo about this and that was exactly what she wanted. This was the exact aim of her ns.


    "There is no need to thank me, I should be apologizing for making you ufortable, it''s all my fault. Go ahead and eat to your satisfaction." Shi Qiao urged with a smile.


    While they were eating, Shi Qiao got a call from Zhi Ruo.


    "Where are you?" Zhui Ruo asked in a heavy tone. She didn''t bother to rx her tone before asking away. She was very pissed.


    "I''m having dinner at the restaurant with a friend if that''s the reason you are calling." Shi Qiao replied going straight to the point.


    He was not a fool and definitely knew that LangFeng would tell Zhi Ruo what she saw.


    Zhi Ruo was surprised that he was able to reply so calmly like it wasn''t a big deal but she refused to be confused. "Which friend is that? A male or a female?"


    "A female, you know who she is. Don''t think about things that are not necessary. I don''t want you to ruin my dinner, so I''m hanging up." Shi Qiao replied and ended the call immediately.


    "What! What about my sleep you just ruined!" Zhi Ruo said angrily as she got out of bed and stomped her feet angrily.


    She couldn''t believe he was acting all selfish when he just ruined her sleep. She was more concerned about what Fu Meixu would think since she was there with him when he talked to her in that manner.


    "Bitch! You dare toe after my man? Wait till I teach you a lesson!" Zhi Ruo swore and picked up her phone to make a call.


    "Book the earlier flight back to City X tomorrow and find out Fu Meixu''s schedule for tomorrow and send it to me immediately!"


    Fu Meixu on the other hand didn''t care what trouble was brimming, as that was what she has been aiming for.. By pretending to be into Shi Qiao because she wanted a big drama to happen to teach Zhi Ruo a lesson and now that her aim was close, she was already very excited.

 Chapter 308 - Fu Meixus Plans

    <h4>Chapter 308 - Fu Meixu''s ns</h4>


    After Shi Qiao stopped in front of the apartment Fu Meixu''s Agency gave to her, he turned to nce at her.


    "Meixu, I''m really sorry about today, I will get you a gift as an apology."


    "There is no need, I''m fine. It''ste, you should go back." Fu Meixu said to him.


    "Won''t you invite me for a ss of water?" Shi Qiao asked after she attempted to open the car door.


    "I''m sure there is no space in your stomach to hold a ss of water. Mr. Shi, drive safely, good night." Fu Meixu said as she got out of the car with her phone in hand.


    Shi Qiao chuckled softly at her rejection. Then he waved at her and drove off.


    A smirk turned up on Fu Meixu''s lips after Shi Qiao drove off. "You want toe inside my apartment? Dream on! But I will have to trouble you to return my bag tomorrow."


    Fu Meixu smiled and made her way inside the building. She just yed a trick on him. She purposely left her bag on the floor of the front passenger side, so she could call him and ask him to bring it for her.


    When Fu Meixu finally got to her bedroom, she sat on the side of her bed and dialed a contact.


    "When is Zhi Ruoing back?" She asked.


    "She booked the first flight for tomorrow and she will be going straight to thepany from the airport."


    "It looks like she ising to find me." Fu Meixu said andughed really hard, before terminating the call.


    She put her phone on the night stand and went to have a bath. She couldn''t wait for the next day to reach already, so she could get into her role and cause some drama.


    After having her bath, she saw some calls from Shi Qiao. She knew the reason he was calling and smiled to herself. Without wasting time, she called him back and he answer immediately.


    "I was calling to tell you about the bag you forgot in my car." Shi Qiao said.


    "I''m sorry about that." Fu Meixu said as she faked an apology. How could she tell him her acts were deliberate?


    "It''s okay. When do you want me to bring it over?" Shi Qiao asked with a smile.


    "I will have to trouble you to bring it over to my agency, I''m going to use that bag for a shootter, so I don''t know if it''s possible?" Fu Meixu said in a soft tone.


    "No troubles, I will send the bag to you, tomorrow. You just need to give me the time and ce to find you." Shi Qiao said. He liked her personality and wouldn''t minding over to a public ce to look for her.


    "Thank you, Mr. Shi. Goodnight." Fu Meixu said and ended the call before he could say anything.


    Shi Qiao was about reminding her to stop addressing him as ''Mr. Shi'' but she ended the call already. He smiled and walked inside his house with her purse.


    Fu Meixu went to bed all smiles. She was not bothered about the purse she forgot. The purse was a shoulder sling bag which she did not need for shoot. She only mentioned a shoot, so he wouldn''t change the venue they were supposed to meet.


    Fu Meixu nned to make Shi Qiao and Zhi Ruo meet each other after getting abused by thetter. What a smart move that was enough to end the rtionship between the two.


    Fu Meixu has never liked Shi Qiao because as good as he looks, he has a w. He looked like someone who wouldn''t care about his partner''s feelings by going out with a female friend in the open. She wouldn''t like to date the kind of person that would make her feel insecure, if not, she wouldn''t be nning to dump him so soon.


    The next day, Fu Meixu left for herpany, as she had something to discuss with the director. As she was getting famous, there were changes made for her benefits which they needed to talk about and enforce.


    When thepany van stopped in front of the building, Fu Meixu said to her assistant, "You will wait at the reception, Mr. Shi would be here in an hour. When hees, bring him to me."


    "Yes, sister Mei." Her assistant said with a smile.


    When Fu Meixu got down from the van and enters the building with her assistant, all eyes were already on her. She was so popr these days that it was impossible for her not to garner some attention.


    Everywhere she went, her juniors would greet her and she would reply to them with a smile. She liked the feeling of being called, ''Sister Mei or Senior Meixu'' that feeling was so exceptional.


    Fu Meixu went to the director''s office where her manager was already waiting.


    The director smiled when she walked in. "Meixu, you''re so popr these days. You are really working hard."


    "I have to get some benefits for my Agency at least." Fu Meixu said with a big smile.


    Her words were sweet enough to make the director smile.


    While they got down to business, Zhi Ruo''s ne justnded. She had huge sunsses and a mask on her face as she made her way through the Arrivals with her assistant pulling her box behind.


    Zhi Ruo was in a hurry to get thepany to teach Fu Meixu a quick lesson, so she was walking quickly.


    When they got into the Van, she urged the driver to drive quickly. On the other hand, Shi Qiao was seen driving to thepany as well. He whistled happily as he nced at the bag that was sitting in his front passenger seat.


    The woman they wereing to see was happily discussing with the director and her manager. There were so many gigs waiting for her, so herpany was treating her very well and added to the fact that she wasing from the Fu family.


    Before, they didn''t take her seriously in the beginning when they found out she wasing from the Fu family.. It was when Grandfather Fu intervened once in her matter, that they started to take her seriously.

 Chapter 309 - Sister Zhi Ruo Would Mind

    <h4>Chapter 309 - Sister Zhi Ruo Would Mind</h4>


    Zhi Ruo was the first to get to thepany. She had a furious look on her face as she made her way in. Fu Meixu''s assistant saw her and quickly texted Fu Meixu.


    Fu Meixu saw her phone screen brighten up and she nced at the message within 2 seconds before smiling back at her director as if nothing happened.


    5 minutester, they had to conclude the meeting, since Fu Meixu said she had to use the restroom.


    "Take care of your health these days and your skin. With the insurance you signed with those people, you''re sure to rip a lot of benefits. When next are you going for your skin routine?" The director asked.


    "Tomorrow." Fu Meixu said with a smile.


    A bigpany wanted her to advertise their products and run ads for them. And in order to get the perfect ambiance, they made a health and skin insurance, while they treated her to lots face massages and skin treatment.


    Thatpany had in mind to make Fu Meixu their brand ambassador for their products for 2 years that was a big deal for her.


    Fu Meixu was the only one that left the office, as the director and her manager had a few things to discuss and that was exactly what she wanted.


    By the way, Shi Qiao had just arrived at thepany with Fu Meixu''s bag and he was taken inside by Fu Meixu''s assistant.


    "I hope Meixu wouldn''t mind that I''ming to see her directly?" Shi Qiao asked her assistant with a smile.


    "No, Sister Meixu wouldn''t mind at all. But Sister Zhi Ruo might mind." The assistant said grudgingly.


    "Why would Zhi Ruo be annoyed, it''s not like she is here." Shi Qiao said as they continued walking.


    "Huh! Mr. Shi, you don''t know? Sister Zhi Ruo walked in 3 minutes ago before you arrived." The assistant revealed with a confused gaze.


    Shi Qiao was surprised but he didn''t think much of the situation. "It doesn''t matter, I will see Meixu before going to see my Zhi Ruo."


    Along the hallway where a few people would pass from time to time, Fu Meixu met face to face with Zhi Ruo.


    Since they were in thepany, she had to feign like an obedient junior. She smiled and acted surprised when she saw Zhi Ruo.


    "Senior Ruo, you''re back so soon?" She asked as walked towards her with a surprised gaze.


    "Why are you surprised? Did you wish that I would nevere back so you would snatch my boyfriend?" Zhi Ruo asked in a furious tone.


    Her voice was loud enough for any third party to hear her.


    Fu Meixu nced around and pretended to be embarrassed after seeing a few people along the hallway.


    Fu Meixu saw two people raise their phones to record and she smiled inwardly. ''What a good day to cause amotion!''


    Fu Meixu pretend to be embarrassed and said to Zhi Ruo in a soft tone. "Senior Ruo, please can you calm down. There is definitely a misunderstanding here."


    "What? You can''t speak louder anymore? What are you afraid of?" Zhi Ruo asked angrily with her gaze on her. She hated Fu Meixu''s guts and the fact that she was acting all innocent, provoked her further.


    Zhi Ruo''s assistant noticed that she was causing a scene and tried to stop but Zhi Ruo pushed her away.


    Fu Meixu looked as if she was in a dilemma before speaking up. "Sister Ruo, it''s not what you think, everything is a misunderstanding! Mr. Shi and I are just friends."


    "Just friends?" Zhi Ruo repeated after her and chuckled angrily before she continued, "Do you go on a night date with someone you call your friend and who has a girlfriend already?"


    There were whispers from everyone that stood and watched them. They were all pointing fingers at her and a few cursed at her.


    Fu Meixu enjoyed the reaction but she pretended as if she wasn''t seeing them.


    "Sister Ruo, you were absent yesterday, so you don''t know the full matter. Mr. Shi is just my friend and we only had dinner together, it wasn''t a date. And besides, you denied dating him and always told us that he was your friend."


    With her revtion, the bystanders nced at Zhi Ruo with a weird gaze. Some of them knew Shi Qiao as they have seen them together a few times. Zhi Ruo always said he was her very good friend, who knew he was her boyfriend and she denied his existence.


    Zhi Ruo''s assistant knew that things were about to fall apart but she was more scared of getting hit by Zhi Ruo.


    "And so what? Do I have to exin my privacy to anyone?! You are just giving silly excuses to cover up the fact that you tried to snatch my boyfriend!" Zhi Ruo said while pointing fingers at her.


    Fu Meixu frowned and tried exining again, "Senior Ruo, I don''t like your usation. When Mr. Shi and I became friends, I had no idea he was your boyfriend because you denied and hid that fact from everyone. I wouldn''t have agreed to receive his help if I knew you two were in a romantic rtionship. I only found out from him that you two were dating and that shows that he has nothing against you!"


    "How dare you try to act smart with me? Do you think I''m a fool?" Zhi Ruo asked angrily.


    Fu Meixu sighed tiredly as she replied, "Senior Ruo, I don''t know why you are trying to cause a scene here for no reason and everyone is watching. Mr. Shi is faithful and will never cheat on you, you are just worried about nothing important."


    Zhi Ruo''s eyes widened in shock. She was so angry as she asked, "What?"


    Fu Meixu saw Shi Qiao and her assistant approaching and smiled to herself. She continued to fan the mes.


    "I''m sure you are feeling insecure but that''s fine, it''s normal when you have a handsome and wealthy man as your boyfriend."


    After saying this part to the hearing of everyone, Fu Meixu lowered her voice and said in a tone that only them would hear...


    "So, be careful that I don''t take him from you because I can tell that he likes me."

 Chapter 310 - Zhi Ruo Gets Physical

    <h4>Chapter 310 - Zhi Ruo Gets Physical</h4>


    The next thing everyone saw was Zhi Ruo pushing Fu Meixu to the floor and going on to p her face.


    "You bitch! How dare you act so smug and mighty!" Zhi Ruo screamed angrily. She wanted to kick Fu Meixu but her assistant pulled her away.


    Right, when she turned to push her assistant away she saw a familiar figure running towards them with a worried gaze.


    Shi Qiao saw what happened and immediately rushed over with Fu Meixu''s assistant. He had a worried gaze as he called out to Fu Meixu.


    Fu Meixu didn''t have to pretend anymore. Zhi Ruo''s p was painful and the impact she got from being pushed to the floor caused some scratches and bleeding.


    Her face squeezed in pain as she held her elbow to nce at it.


    The bystanders let out gasps of shock, they were not expecting Zhi Ruo to be so violent. In no time, more people started gathering around.


    "Meixu, are you okay? Can you stand up?" Zhi Qiao asked with worry when he saw the red imprint caused by his girlfriend''s palms.


    When Fu Meixu''s assistant came over and saw the bruises and that mark on her face, she became so angry and turned to nce at Zhi Ruo.


    "How can you hit her face and inflict injuries on her?! Do you know how much that was spent to make her skin soft and smooth?!"


    "Are you mad! How dare you raise your voice at me?!" Zhi Ruo asked angrily. She couldn''t believe that a little assistant dared to talk to her so boldly.


    The little assistant''s words were a reminder to the others that knew about the huge gig Fu Meixunded 2 weeks ago. They knew shended a huge job for a popr brand of the best skin products, so since then, she has been looking so good because her skin was well taken care of and a few of them knew, she got insurance for her health and skin.


    What was going through their mind right now was that Zhi Ruo was in big trouble. She even dared to vite one of thepany''s rules of getting physical with a colleague. It was clear that she was in for a deep shit and if Fu Meixu decides to sue her, she would lose more than half of everything she took her life to build.


    Fu Meixu screamed in pain as Shi Qiao helped her to her feet. Right now, her left cheek was red and swollen.


    Shi Qiao nced at Zhi Ruo angrily and scolded her on the spot.


    "How could you act without manners! Is this your true colors?!"


    Zhi Ruo couldn''t believe her dearest boyfriend was holding another woman and wasshing out at her.


    "Why are you scolding me?! You care about another woman but you treat me like I don''t exist!" Zhi Ruo said angrily.


    "You don''t feel you''re wrong, right? That''s fine. I am used to you acting like this but I can''t tolerate the fact that you hit an innocent person." Shi Qiao said.


    Fu Meixu let tears down her eyes and wriggled out of Shi Qiao''s hold and her assistant and another bystander who was a junior immediately came over to hold her.


    "What innocent person? You mean this bitch that tried to snatch you from me?!" Zhi Ruo cursed. Her assistant wanted to disappear already. Zhi Ruo couldn''t control herself and she was going to be in big trouble for it.


    "Enough! I have had enough of your madness! Meixu is innocent and I don''t have that kind of rtionship with her! She is my good friend and my customer. Why don''t you ask questions before you do anything? You''re so unreasonable!" Shi Qiao said while pointing at her.


    "What! You scold me in public because of that shameless woman!" Zhi Ruo said angrily. She still wanted to go over and hit Fu Meixu after she caught a glimpse of the smug look on her face before it vanished but Shi Qiao blocked her path.


    "What is going on here?!" An angry male voice sounded at the end of the hall.


    Those who were recording stopped in fright when they saw their angry-looking director with a few managers standing behind him.


    About 30 minutester Fu Meixu, Zhi Ruo and Shi Qiao were sitting in the office of the director with their managers present.


    There was a furious gaze directed at Zhi Ruo from the director.


    Fu Meixu and Shi Qiao had just finished exining what happened in the hallway and Zhi Ruo was to me. She tried to defend herself but it was useless. Her arguments were baseless.


    "Zhi Ruo, do you know your offense? You vited one of thepany''s rules by hitting your colleague in thepany and you caused a huge scene out there! Not only that, do you know the huge trouble you are in? Do you know how much insurance was paid for Meixu''s skin and health? Do you how much that was spent on the skincare treatments she has been receiving for over 2 weeks and you just had to ruin everything in one day?!" Their Agency''s director asked angrily.


    Fu Meixu was currently getting a face aid done by a skincare doctor that was called over immediately.


    "Do you know the damages you''ve caused because of the dy in the ads that Meixu was to shoot in 3 days? Can you pay for it?" The director asked while pointing at her.


    Zhi Ruo couldn''t believe the kind of trouble she got in. She had no idea that Fu Meixu got such a huge offer by a bigpany that dealt with skincare products. If she knew about the insurance she got for her health and body just to run some shoots, she would have thought twice before thinking ofying her hands on her.


    "Director, I''m sorry for my actions! I will apologize to her." Zhi Ruo said as she bit her lips.


    "Do you think everything will end with only an apology? I am not about to lose a good sum of money because of your stupid actions." The director said as he hit his table with his palms.. He was so angry about how much that would be needed to make things right.

 Chapter 311 - She Used Me!

    <h4>Chapter 311 - She Used Me!</h4>


    Turning to Shi Qiao who had a worried gaze on Fu Meixu while she was being treated at one corner of the office with her gasping in pain, the director said to him...


    "Mr. Shi Qiao, we are sorry for keeping you waiting all this while. We will release you as we have an internal issue to settle."


    Shi Qiao had no choice but to leave reluctantly. It was when he got outside the building that he saw that he was still holding Fu Meixu''s bag.


    Some minutester, Zhi Ruo left the director''s office with her manager scolding her.


    "Why couldn''t you stay put! Do you know the kind of trouble you''ve brought to yourself? So many people witnessed how you abused Fu Meixu and they recorded it. You shouldn''t dare to be angry!"


    "You are my manager, shouldn''t youe up with a method to save me from this horrible situation?" Zhi Ruo asked in an annoyed tone. She couldn''t remember whenst she got herself into this kind of trouble.


    "There is no way to help you, just go back home and rest and wait for thepany''s verdict. You should be praying that Fu Meixu doesn''t take this matter to heart and sue you!" Her manager said with an annoyed gaze.


    "Why would she sue me when I already know I have a huge fine to pay? I am an A-list actress, thepany can not afford to lose me." Zhi Ruo said with an arrogant tone.


    Her manager rolled her eyes at her and exined, "You are right about one thing. Thepany can not afford to throw you away after investing millions on you but as for the rest, you are wrong about them. Have you forgotten that Fu Meixu has so many witnesses to that incident and there is evidence of you abusing her? So many people wille out to testify in court because they are already on her side and thepany can not stop them."


    "Thepany will never allow this because it will damage their reputation." Zhi Ruo said with full confidence.


    "You''re right but Fu Meixu will try to sue you and because thepany wants their reputation intact, they will try to negotiate with her and do anything she wants in return so that she doesn''t take you to court. Tell me, what do you think her request will be?" Her manager asked with a smile and then walked away with an angry gaze.


    Zhi Ruo just thought about something and she became so angry that her face twisted in a frown. She just thought of the possibility of Fu Meixu setting her up.


    Recalling back to the incident and Fu Meixu''s actions of threatening her in a low tone, Zhi Ruo cursed in a loud voice, as she just discovered that she was used.


    Zhi Ruo quickly followed after her manager and asked in an urgent tone, "That bitch set me up!"


    "What evidence do you have?" Her manager asked without stopping.


    "What?" Zhi Ruo eximed with a frown as she didn''t seem to understand what her manager was driving at.


    "Fu Meixu has evidence to prove that you abused her. You just said she set you up, where is your evidence to prove that?"


    "She threatened to snatch my boyfriend from me, is it not enough?" Zhi Ruo asked.


    "If you don''t have any supporting proof, you are wasting your time and even if there was one, you can''t win against her because you hit her, you vited one of thepany''s rules, you ruined the efforts and the money spent on her skin, you caused a dy in the ads shooting as well and let''s not forget that the fact that her body had insurance. My dear, you already have a lot of offenses under you."


    Her manager reminded her of all her crimes without sparing her a nce.


    Zhi Ruo was having a headache already. "It''s not my fault! She used me!"


    "You should have thought about that possibility before hitting her and causing problems for yourself. Fu Meixu has the Fu family behind her, so you can''t escape. Stop following me and go home already. Stay indoors and wait for me to contact you!" Her manager said before leaving her behind at the spot.


    Back in the director''s office, the director kept apologizing to Fu Meixu whose face was red and swollen plus the few scratches she got. Fu Meixu was in a lot of pain as her butts and body hurt.


    As Shi Qiao was not around, there was no need for her to fake a cry. There was an ugly expression on her face as she nced at the director.


    "Director, I want to sue Zhi Ruo." Fu Meixu said in her clear voice.


    The director and her manager had expected this, so they were not surprised.


    "Meixu, we know you were wronged and we are sorry about it. I would have allowed you to sue Zhi Ruo but she is part of this agency and our reputation will go down the drain."


    "What about me? Do you know the kind of pains I''m going through? Do you know how long she has bullied me? Nothing can stop me from suing her! She is way too arrogant not to be taught a lesson!" Fu Meixu said angrily.


    She was no longer pretending and was showing her true emotions. She had no idea that Zhi Ruo would be so violent as to push her and p her hard.


    Thinking back to how she has suffered in her hands, she didn''t want to let go. She would make sure she lost everything she worked hard for.


    "Meixu please calm down. You have to think about me. If the Agency has a bad reputation, it will affect everyone." The director said in a dilemma.


    Fu Meixu''s manager was quiet. He supported Fu Meixu to get revenge.


    "I will not be affected because many agencies are waiting to porch me." Fu Meixu said without a care.


    "Okay, what do you want? Thepany will take responsibility for it." The director said as he tried to negotiate with her. He was already at the end of the cliff.


    Fu Meixu was a hot cake that couldn''t be abandoned and he also couldn''t allow Zhi Ruo to be sued because of thepany''s reputation, so he had to try and negotiate with her.

 Chapter 312 - How Shameless Are You?

    <h4>Chapter 312 - How Shameless Are You?</h4>


    What happens when Fu Hua decides to change Jasmine''s diaper after she messed it up? Well, he did well to Jia Li''s surprise.


    "Done!" Fu Hua said after cleaning Jasmine up with the wipes and sessfully securing a new diaper around her waist.


    Jia Li nced at all the wipes he wasted and shook her head. "Why are you proud when you needed so many wipes?"


    "I can afford to buy lots of it, so why are you worried? You should be happy for me." Fu Hua said to her, as he buttoned Jasmine''s overalls and smiled at the little girl who put her fingers in her mouth while gazing at him.


    "Your management skill is at the highest level." Jia Li said to him with a sigh.


    "I have to make sure my little princess is cleaned up properly and isfortable. I can''t use the same management skills I use in FJ on you two." Fu Hua replied with a nce at her before he nced back at Jasmine. Then with a smile, he lifted the little girl in his arms but Jia Li snatched her away the next minute.


    "Hey! What are you doing?" Fu Hua asked with a frown as he nced at his empty hands.


    "I need to feed my daughter, her stomach must be empty now, can you do that?" Jia Li asked as she went to sit on the rocking chair in the nursery.


    "You..." Fu Hua said speechlessly.


    Jia Li smiled at him and turned to nce at the little girl that was wriggling in her arms.


    Jasmine recognized that she was in her mother''s arms and immediately stretched her little hands towards her breast as she opened and closed her mouth repeatedly. She could perceive her milk and she wanted it.


    "Do you see that?" Jia Li asked as she pointed at Jasmine. She was making fun of him.


    Fu Hua refused to be jealous as he decided to tease her. He waited till she put her right nipple into Jasmine''s mouth before going to her side.


    "Why do I feel that you''ve put on some weight there?" Fu Hua asked as he narrowed his gaze on her breast.


    "I''m breastfeeding." Jia Li replied before ncing back at the little girl in her arms, who was sucking her milk away.


    The funny part was that Jasmine nced at her mother, before looking at her breast and then raised her little hands to touch it.


    Who knows what the little girl was thinking...


    Fu Hua leaned over and without warning, he touched Jia Li''s left breast and retracted it. He didn''t dare to squeeze it before the milk will start flowing out.


    "It actually increased in size, let me feel it again." Fu Hua said and stretched his hand towards her breast again but Jia Li was quick to hit it away.


    "You, how dare you touch my breast!" Jia Li asked.


    "Your breasts belong to me." Fu Hua said as he leaned away with a smirk turned up his lips.


    "Dream on!" Jia Li said to him with a re.


    "I haven''t tasted Jasmine''s food before, how about you let me have a taste, I promise not to take too long." Fu Hua said to her with a smile. His little wife has be feisty since she had their daughter and provoking her was something he loved doing.


    "How shameless are you? You want to snatch your daughter''s food." Jia Li asked with a frown.


    "I''m not snatching it, I just want to know what our daughter''s food tastes like. But never mind, I will do that some other time. I''m going to throw her used diaper away, I will be back for you two." Fu Hua said and blew a kiss at his annoyed wife, before leaving the nursery with nylon in his hand.


    "Jasmine, don''t mind your Dad, he is joking. He can''t share your food with you unless I see him on a diaper."


    Jia Li chuckled when she said thest part. She imagined what Fu Hua would look like to be in a diaper with a cold gaze and sheughed out loud.


    Jasmine sucked away with her gaze on her mother, as she listened to her.


    When Fu Hua returned, Jasmine was still eating.


    "How empty is her stomach?" Fu Hua asked.


    "She just pooped so her stomach is very empty. Give her 20 more minutes but it doesn''t look like she will be asleep by then." Jia Li replied.


    "Since she''s still awake, I will let her be. I wanted to spend some time with her. But do you minding to the study with me?" Fu Hua asked. He needed his wife and daughter''spany.


    "I wouldn''t mind but Jasmine would do." Jia Li replied.


    "Let''s see if she would mind." Fu Hua said as he went to separate Jasmine''s mouth from Jia Li''s nipple and carried her off her mother''s thighs.


    The little girl could notin. She frowned and then smacked her lips when shended in her father''s embrace.


    "Good girl." Fu Hua said with a smile since Jasmine did not cry. He made her burp before leaving with her and Jia Li.


    At the workshop, Jasmine happily continued to eat while her father worked and asionally nced at them.


    By the time Fu Hua finished working, Jasmine was sleeping soundly, while Jia Li was already tired from holding Jasmine in her arms.


    "I''m sorry, do you want to sleep?" Fu Hua asked in a soft tone as he came to her side.


    "Mmm... I need to sleep, I''m tired as well." Jia Li said as she let out a yawn.


    "Let''s go." Fu Hua said as he carried Jasmine and walked out of the workshop while holding her hand.


    Afterying Jasmine in her cot carefully, Fu Hua got into bed with Jia Li. The couple faced each other and stared into each other''s eyes.


    Fu Hua caressed her cheek before sending a few strands of her hair, behind her ear. Jia Li leaned in to kiss his lips gently and then moved away after a few seconds.


    "I thought you wanted to sleep." Fu Hua said to her in a gentle tone.


    "Mmmm." Jia Li hummed in reply with her gaze on him.


    Fu Hua touched her cheek with his thumb and leaned in to kiss her lips. They kissed for a while before letting go.


    "Sleep.." Fu Hua said as he brought her into his arms and began to pat her back gently.

 Chapter 313 - Banned By FJ

    <h4>Chapter 313 - Banned By FJ</h4>


    Fu Meixu''s request was not all that simple. She wanted Zhi Ruo to take a break from the entertainment industry for half a year after she pays all the fines she owed.


    "Half a year break is too much, what will happen to all her pending projects?" The director asked.


    "Her projects can be given to another actress in thispany. It wouldn''t be a fun thing if my grandfather or any member of the Fu family sees me like this. I wonder what they would do, after all, I am precious to them." Fu Meixu said to him.


    The director got the hidden meaning in her words. Hispany will be in trouble if the Fu family intervenes in the matter, so it was better to listen to her.


    "There is no need to involve your family, thepany will get a 2-bedroom and well-furnished condo for you to live from now on. Don''t worry about your injuries, we will take care of them. As for your request, it will be done." The director said with a smile.


    Fu Meixu smiled and closed her eyes. She just got a new and a better ce to live just after she mentioned her family''s name.


    As bad as she was, she doesn''t use her family''s name to reap some benefits and this was the first time.


    She used her family name to get the director to listen to her but who knew she would also get a new ce to live in?


    Zhi Ruo was in her condo when her manager brought the bad news to her. She screamed hysterically and broke a lot of things in her house but it still did not change her situation.


    "Then who is going to pay for the expenses?" Zhi Ruo asked in an enraged tone.


    "You will foot half of the bills for the 6 months vacation, thepany willplete the rest." Her Manager replied.


    "What! I''m forced to abandon my career and go on a 6 months vacation while being forced to foot half of the bills! Is this some kind of a joke?!" Zhi Ruo said angrily as her chest heaved up and down.


    "There is nothing you can do. Thepany would have lost more if you were sued by Fu Meixu. Pay for your fines and leave immediately." Her manager said to her.


    "That bitch put me in this predicament! I will teach her a lesson in this industry soon enough!" Zhi Ruo swore.


    When her manager left, she picked up her phone to dial Shi Qiao''s number but no one answered the call even after several rings.


    After the 5th ring, Zhi Ruo was no longer able to contact Shi Qiao again.


    "Does he want to end the rtionship with me? No, I can''t allow that! I will never let him get together with that bitch!" Zhi Ruo swore and picked up her bag and immediately left for Shi Qiao''spany.


    Zhi Ruo''s appearance at Shi Qiao''spany was in vain because he refused to see her.


    Shi Qiao was no longer interested in her. His main interest was to apologize to Fu Meixu and to check on how she was doing.


    After he chased Zhi Ruo away, he dialed Fu Meixu''s contact to ask how she was and where she was. Thetter replied that she was in the hospital and would call him back. But at the end of the day, he didn''t get her call, so he decided to drive down to her apartment but as he didn''t know her apartment number or floor, he was stuck.


    Dialing Fu Meixu''s number again, her assistant answered the call.


    Shi Qiao learned that Fu Meixu was sleeping already and he became sad as he thought about how painful her injuries were since he witnessed them.


    Left with no choice, Shi Qiao had to give Fu Meixu''s bag to her assistant. He only left after he got her apartment''s number.


    When he got back to his house, he sent a text to Fu Meixu which was never replied to. After work the next day, he drove down to her apartment again. After mustering some courage, he went in to see her but to his surprise, he was told that she has moved away by her neighbor after he rang the doorbell for a long time.


    While Fu Meixu was enjoying the view from her new apartment, the princess in the Fu Vi was on a rampage after she was rejected by FJ.


    Just like any other confidentdy, FangSu has been expecting a call from the front desk at FJ after submitting her perfect resum¨¦. And since she was so confident, she didn''t mind that it has been a few days since she hasn''t heard from them.


    She thought they were busy with work, since the fashion show was 4 weeks away, so she didn''t have any negative thoughts.


    Sitting outside and enjoying a cup of iced Americano, FangSu enjoyed the drink while sitting on the veranda with a smile.


    When she got a call from the unsaved contact, she had a thought it was from FJ, since it was andline number.


    A confident smile appeared on her face after she answered the call and heard the voice of one of the secretaries at the front desk introducing herself as such.


    "Hello Ma''am, I''m calling from the front desk of FJ, about your application. I am sorry to tell you that your application didn''t go through because you were banned from ever working with us!"


    "What! What nonsense are you talking about?! How could I be banned when I have never worked with FJ. How did I offend my brother''spany? Are you sure you checked properly?" FangSu asked with an angry tensed tone.


    The secretary on a call with her nced at the system in front of her, which had a notification of FangSu being banned by the CEO of FJ, her very own brother and confirmed the news.


    FangSu was already going crazy from the heart-wrenching news she just received from the Secretary. She was so angry that she wanted to squeeze the life out of someone.


    "Who ordered it?!" FangSu asked in gritted it.


    "Our CEO banned you!" The secretary replied.

 Chapter 314 - FangSu Complains To Grandfather Fu

    <h4>Chapter 314 - FangSu Comins To Grandfather Fu</h4>


    FangSu lost her appetite and if she could throw up what she had just eaten, she would do that. She couldn''t believe that her big brother banned her from entering FJ and she had no idea about it.


    "You''re saying my brother banned me?" She asked to be sure that she heard clearly.


    "Yes, Miss. And we are sorry we can''t help you. Have a great day!" The secretary said and terminated the call.


    "Have a great day?! how can I have a great day?!" FangSu said angrily as she stared at the ck screen of her phone.


    FangSu has never felt so frustrated before. This was the worst thing anyone can do to her. How could her brother cklist her without thinking about her feelings?


    FangSu abandoned the snacks she was enjoying and hurried inside the house. She kept calling for her mother as she walked inside.


    She snubbed everybody and went to her mother''s bedroom to look for her.


    "Have you been shouting my name from outside?" Fu Hee asked with a frown as she opened her room door for her.


    FangSu walked in and faced her mother in anger. "Mum right now, I don''t care about etiquette and I don''t care what anybody has to say!"


    "What is wrong with you and why do you look so angry?!" Fu Hee asked after she noticed how angry she was.


    FangSu put her hands on her waist and began toin, "Mum, can you believe that brother cklisted me. FJ can not ept my application to work with them as a model, all of these were done by brother!"


    "You were cklisted? I had no idea about it! But given that you have offended your brother numerous times, you shouldn''t be surprised." Fu Hee said to her.


    FangSu nced at her angrily as she said in a high tone. "Mum! How can you say that! Does that look like what I want to hear? You should be thinking of how to contact my brother since you are on good terms with him. How can he ban me because of personal issues?!"


    "What do you want me to say and who told you that I am on good terms with him?" Fu Hee said and went to sit on her couch.


    "If you''re not on good terms with him, then why do you visit him several times a week?!" FangSu inquired.


    "Your brother doesn''t want to see me but he can''t do anything since Jia Li epted me." Fu Hee revealed!


    "Whatever! Mum, you have to do something about this! Do you know how embarrassed I am? Now everyone in FJ knows that a brother cklisted his sister, I can''t believe this!" FangSu said as she stomped her feet. Her chest was hurting whenever she thought of how her big brother crushed her hope.


    "I can''t say anything to Fu Hua but I can speak to YingPei to know what happened." Fu Hee said to her.


    "Ah! I can''t take this! I''m going toin to grandfather!" FangSu said and left the bedroom immediately.


    Fu Hee wanted to remind her that the old man may not listen to her but FangSu already left in a hurry.


    ''Anything she sees there, she should take it.'' Fu Hee thought as she picked up her phone to give her second son a call.


    FangSu cried to Grandfather Fu''s study toin to him and Butler Lu was toote to stop her from going in.


    Grandfather Fu was practicing calligraphy when FangSu knocked and opened the door. Thinking it was Butler Lu, the old man didn''t bother to raise his head as he continues to draw something on his calligraphy paper.


    It was only when he heard FangSu''s cry that he raised his head to nce at her.


    "Grandfather, I have been wronged!" FangSu said with a tear-stained face.


    If it was before, the old man would have been very worried and asked who dared to bring tears to her face. But times have changed.


    "Who did you offend this time around?" Grandfather Fu asked as he put down his calligraphy brush and fixed his gaze on her. With the reading sses over his eyes, his expression looked a little stern.


    FangSu felt more wronged because her old man thought she offended somebody. But there was no time to waste. Since he allowed her to speak, she had to make use of it.


    FangSu wiped her tear and began to exin things to him and it was right at this time that Butler Lu walked in and came to stand at the side silently.


    He practically rushed over here after a servant told him she saw FangSuing towards the old man''s study.


    "Grandfather, you asked me to get a job and since my dream has always been to get work with FJ when I get back to the country, I decided to send my resum¨¦ to FJ. I was very confident that I would be epted because I have a perfect resum¨¦ but I was just informed that I can''t work in FJ because my brother banned me!"


    When FangSu reached thest part, she began to cry again.


    "Fu Hua banned you?" Grandfather Fu asked. He didn''t look like he was surprised at the situation.


    "Yes, grandfather and I found it hard to believe. How could he do this to his sister? I have never offended FJ, why should he cklist me?" FangSu asked with tears in her eyes.


    "But you offended the Boss of FJ." Grandfather Fu replied immediately with a stern gaze on her.


    "What?!" FangSu eximed with a confused facial expression.


    "You just said that you have never offended FJ but you have definitely offended your brother who is FJ''s Boss." Grandfather Fu exined further.


    FangSu was tongue-tied as she didn''t see how the whole thing was linked.


    "But grandfather, how could he bring our feud into a business matter, it is uncalled for and it is unprofessional!" FangSu said with a frown.


    "You know you would need help from someone but you offend him, whether it has to do with work or not. Are you expecting the person to be a saint and ept your proposal? FangSu, you need to upgrade your thinking.." Grandfather Fu said to her.

    <h4>Chapter 315 - Fu Meixu Officially Ends Her Rtionship With Shi Qiao</h4>


    "But grandfather, how could he crush my hope just like that?! I was trying to get into FJ without any help but he is clearly oppressing me!" FangSu argued.


    She was angry that her grandfather was supporting her brother.


    "FangSu, till you''ve reflected on yourself, don''t expect anyone to give you a hand. You think life is easy? Then handle it yourself!" Grandfather Fu said and picked up his calligraphy brush.


    "Grandfather, you can help at least. Please talk to my brother!" FangSu pleaded as she wiped her tears with the back of her hands.


    "You offended your brother, so go and talk it out with him. I can''t help you with this matter. Go back and don''te over to talk about this matter again." Grandfather Fu said and shooed her away.


    FangSu was boiling in rage when she came out of his study. No one wanted to help her and knowing her brother''s personality, she wouldn''t be able to get into FJ since he was the only one holding that authority."


    FangSu went back to look for her mother and she met her in the hallway.


    "Mum, what did brother say?" She asked immediately.


    "There is no hope. YingPei had no idea that FJ cklisted you. He was surprised when I told him about it. He said Hua did not cklist you the time he went to beg on your behalf, so I asked him to find out when you were cklisted." Fu Hee said to her.


    "Is that important right now? I just want to get into FJ!" FangSu said in a bitter tone and she looked like she was about to cry again.


    "It is, we have to know how you offended our brother."


    As Fu Hee finished replying, she got a call from YingPei, who informed him that FangSu was cklisted 2 months ago.


    Hearing that, FangSu said, "That was around the time he came back from his business trip."


    "That was the time you brought back the servants in his house and left his pregnant wife all alone at night. FangSu, you need to reflect on yourself and seek repentance. Just know that you won''t go far with this attitude. And let me remind you that your brother holds grudges for a long time, especially when you offend him repeatedly."


    After giving her a few pointers, Fu Hee walked past her and went to the kitchen. FangSu stood there for a long time before walking away.


    It would have been good if she was reflecting on herself but her brain ???? was not functioning properly.


    She still didn''t see anything wrong with her past actions. And because of her pride, she didn''t want to ept her wrongs and own up to them. She didn''t want to apologize to anyone. Instead, she was thinking that how her brother was going too far to ruin her career because of his wife.


    Fu Meixu who finally moved to a new ce was eating some grapes when she got a call from Shi Qiao.


    His call was a reminder to her that she had something else to settle. She answered his call and greeted him like they were strangers.


    "Meixu, are you angry with me?" Shi Qiao asked. Her tone was not friendly at all and he was worried about it.


    "I am not angry with you, you didn''t do anything wrong to me. I epted your call because of one reason and that''s because I think you at least, deserve an exnation for my current attitude." Fu Meixu said to him.


    "You don''t need to exin anything to me. I understand that you are only being mindful after what Zhi Ruo did to you. I apologize on her behalf." Shi Qiao said in an urgent tone.


    "Mr. Shi Qiao, let''s end our friendship here. You were amazing and helpful during the time we got close and I must thank you for helping me achieve my mission." Fu Meixu said to him.


    Shi Qiao didn''t think deeply about her words, as he thought she was talking about getting the best painting for her grandfather which he rmended to her, he thought that was the mission she was talking about.


    "Meixu, you don''t need to be afraid of Zhi Ruo, I have broken up with her. She won''t have the opportunity toe in-between our friendship." Shi Qiao revealed.


    Fu Meixu was surprised that he had already broken up with Zhi Ruo. Her actions today were so that Shi Qiao would be forced to break up with Zhi Ruo.


    If she mentioned ending their friendship, he would be forced to break up with Zhi Ruo as she was the one that caused the rtionship to fail but who knew that he had already done that.


    Fu Meixu smiled to herself and changed her tone to one that is concerned. "You shouldn''t have broken up with her. Naturally, Sister Ruo and I are not close, so if she saw me with her boyfriend, she would think something was going on between us. Everything was my fault, please don''t break up with her."


    "Meixu what are you saying? Zhi Ruo is to be med. Even if she misunderstood us, she shouldn''t have gone to cause trouble for you and she hit you in the face when she knew how important it is. Meixu, please let''s not end our friendship." Shi Qiao pleaded with her.


    Fu Meixu smiled to herself at the turn of events. But it was a pity that this was the end. I need to toil with him. She had to end things properly.


    "If you break up with Sister Ruo and we remain friends, what do you think people will say about me? They would say that I snatched my senior''s boyfriend. Ie from a very respectable family and my reputation is important. Mr. Shi Qiao, it was nice meeting you but it''s a shame that we can''t continue to remain friends, please let''s end our rtionship here."


    After saying that, Fu Meixu hung up and went on to block and cklist his contact and only then did she bring out a bottle of wine to celebrate her sess.


    Knowing full well that Shi Qiao really liked her, she knew her words would be enough to make sure he didn''t get back together with Zhi Ruo because he would hate her, as she was the reason he couldn''t be friends with her.

 Chapter 316 - The Little Bun Was Not Being Obedient

    <h4>Chapter 316 - The Little Bun Was Not Being Obedient</h4>


    When Fu Meixu''s manager came to visit with the doctor, he saw her drinking a ss of wine. He frowned and immediately walked over to take it from her.


    "You shouldn''t be drinking, you still have some injuries." He said to her.


    "I am not bothered about them but I need to celebrate my wins and sess." Fu Meixu said as she stretched her hands to match the ss of wine from her but her manager immediately gulped the whole wine content down before keeping the empty wine ss on the table.


    "You should be worried about the injuries. FJ''s fashion show is in 2 weeks. Have you thought about the possibility of you not participating if your injuries don''t heal? Forget about the ads you were to shoot, Zhi Ruo has paid the fine." Her manager said to her.


    "We have a doctor here that is doing a great job. Don''t worry, my injuries would heal quickly. I need to go for my dress fittings in a week, I have enough time then." Fu Meixu said with a smile.


    "Just don''t drink wine or anything that will dy the injuries from healing quickly." Her manager said before gesturing for the doctor toe over and do his job.


    "Where is your assistant?" Her manager asked.


    "I sent her away to get some things for me." Fu Meixu replied.


    "Does your back still hurt?" Her manager asked.


    "It still does but the pain has reduced." Fi Meixu replied.


    Fu Meixu''s assistant came back shortly before the doctor left. Now, the three of them were sitting in the living room.


    There was a smile on Fu Meixu''s face as she said, "I am so happy when I think about how Zhi Ruo won''t be participating in FJ''s fashion show this year."


    "You got your revenge, so you must be happy. Thepany has to exin things to FJ since Zhi Ruo was initially involved in this. They may have to pay some fine for breaching the contract." Her manager revealed.


    "I didn''t remember this part when I was trying to get my revenge. I feel sorry for the director that he has to suffer a little." Fu Meixu said.


    "You don''t need to worry because the director is trying to negotiate with FJ by asking Yanmei to work with them for this season." Her manager revealed.


    "What! Does thepany want to negotiate with FJ for Yangmei? I thought she was taking a long break, will she agree to this?" Fu Meixu asked in shock.


    Her manager sighed and replied, "She was taking a long break, but the director can convince her toe back and save thepany''s ass. She is a big celebrity and FJ is likely to ept the new proposal."


    Fu Meixu was left speechless. Although she didn''t remember that Zhi Ruo would have to miss out on the Autumn show and after she just found out about it, she was thinking that thepany would rece Zhi Ruo with her but who knew they would go ahead to call back one of the biggest celebrity in the entertainment industry and that person happens to be in the same entertainment industry as her.


    Since Fu Meixu debuted, the number of times she has seen Yangmei could be counted on one hand. Yangmei was a veteran and her reputation was top-notch. Even Zhi Ruo couldn''t bepared with her.


    Yangmei was married but she still hasn''t retired. Even if she wanted to, a lot of people would do anything to keep her from leaving.


    Fu Meixu knew she couldn''t ever bepared with Yangmei.


    Fu Meixu knew that if herpany''s director manages to convince Yangmei toe out of her long break, FJ would definitely ept the deal.


    Jia Li, Fu Hua and the cute little girl were sitting in the small garden surrounded by Ocean and her puppies.


    Fu Hua was holding the little girl in his arms, while Jia Li sat, facing a drawing board.


    It was a big surprise to Fu Hua that his wife wanted to draw him and their daughter. When he asked her if she had painted anyone before, she gave a positive response.


    Jia Li has only drawn real people from pictures and this was the first time she was drawing anyone life.


    The little bun in Fu Hua''s arms was the only one that was not being obedient. She kept moving her arms and legs. Other times, she would put her fingers in her mouth.


    Her actions were enough to distract Fu Hua, as he would use her bib to clean the saliva from the corner of her lips.


    The little bun was not being obedient.


    Jia Li was tired and wasn''tfortable with her active baby.


    "Darling, should I have bundled her up?" Jia Li asked with a frown.


    "It''s not good to cage her all the time. Just draw what you can, it will still look beautiful." Fu Hua said in encouragement.


    "I get that you are trying to make me feel good but that little girl is confusing me. She keeps making you change your position." Jia Liined.


    Fu Hua remained in the same position as before and asked, "I always try to go back to the same position like before, am I not getting it?"


    "It''s not 100% the same. Forget it, I will just sketch what I can. Next time, I won''t forget to bundle her up." Jia Li said and went back to sketching the father and daughter pair.


    A short whileter, Jia Li told Fu Hua, that he was free to move his upper body. She was currently sketching the little girl in his arms, who just let out a yawn.


    Jia Li became frustrated again but she refused to say a word. She might end up screaming out of frustration if she opens her mouth.


    "Princess, are you bored? Wait for a while, your mum will be through soon." Fu Hua whispered to the little girl in his arms who had her gaze on him.


    Jia Li did not hear him, as her mind was on how she wouldplete the sketch as quickly as possible before she loses her mind.

 Chapter 317 - Fu Hua Finds Trouble With Avery

    <h4>Chapter 317 - Fu Hua Finds Trouble With Avery</h4>


    Before Jia Li could end her sketching, Jasmine started crying.


    "Oh my God!" Jia Li eximed but that did not stop her from continuing with her sketching.


    "Jasmine is crying." Fu Hua said with his gaze on her. He was reminding her in case she didn''t hear it.


    "I know. Just sit there and rock her but don''t move your feet." Jia Li instructed as her hands began to work quickly.


    Fu Hua sighed as he lifted Jasmine from his thighs. He tried to cate her by talking sweetly to her. At a point, the little girl stopped crying and listened to her father but not long after she started crying again.


    "She is hungry." Fu Hua said.


    "I know. Give me 5 minutes, I''ming." Jia Li said as she quickened her pace.


    Ocean and the puppies wanted to approach the crying baby but Fu Hua asked them not toe over.


    As for the puppies, they were too young to listen. They made their way over but Jia Li called their names and asked them to step back.


    Ocean nced at Jia Li who looked a bit annoyed. She immediately went to pull her babies back and only then did Jia Li calm down a little.


    Jasmine stopped crying when Fu Hua began to sing for her. She looked curious as he gazed into her father''s eyes. And because she was hungry, she didn''t fail to put her fingers into her mouth to suck them.


    Fu Hua''s heart ached for the little girl but he has to do a good job to pacify her, so he continued to sing and smile at her.


    Quickly, Jia Li finished sketching. She still had to paint the work but it wasn''t the right time. She would do thatter after she was done feeding Jasmine.


    "I''m through!" Jia Li said with a smile as she put down her pencil and washed her hands before wiping them dry and going over to carry her precious daughter.


    "Jasmine, mum is sorry for dying." Jia Li said to the little girl with a smile. Jasmine made her baby noises and stretched her short arms towards her mother''s face while bringing her face close as well.


    Jia Li instinctively moved her face backward. She smiled and said, "Are you trying to eat your mother''s face?"


    Jasmine responded by crying and Jia Li had to quickly sit and bring out her left boob for her.


    Jasmine was quick to grab her left boob. The little girl did not wait for her mother to guide her nipple into her mouth for she found it herself.


    The little girl immediately grabbed her mother''s breast and put her little mouth on it and began to suck quickly.


    "Oh! My baby is so hungry." Jia Li said with a smile as she gently pats Jasmine''s side.


    Fu Hua sighed in relief when he saw that his daughter had stopped crying. He sat beside Jia Li on another chair and fixed his gaze on the little one who had her eyes closed.


    "I think she would fall asleep soon." Fu Hua said from the side.


    "I think so too." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    Ocean and the puppies came to surround Jia Li after she settled down with Jasmine.


    Avery touched Fu Hua''s feet when she tried to walk towards Jia Li''s feet toy down but Fu Hua picked her up with one hand and moved her backward, while still sitting.


    Avery made some noises and made her way towards Jia Li again while trying to avoid Fu Hua''s feet but Fu Hua blocked her with his leg.


    "Where do you think you''re going?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on the cute puppy that stopped to nce at him in frustration.


    "You are one jealous man. What did Avery do to you, move your leg away?" Jia Li said to him with a frown.


    "I want to see what she would do." Fu Hua said with a smile. He seemed to be having fun tormenting the little puppy.


    Avery nced over and saw that her brother and mother were already lying next to Jia Li''s feet, so she made some noises out of frustration.


    Ocean couldn''t bark at Fu Hua from stopping her child froming over. Jasmine was eating while trying to get some sleep, so she couldn''t bark no matter what.


    Ocean brought out her tongue as she nced at Fu Hua.


    "What can you do?" Fu Hua asked as he moved his gaze to Ocean who didn''t look happy.


    "Darling, how can you be so mean to Avery, let her pass." Jia Li said to Fu Hua.


    "I will let her go but soon." Fu Hua replied as he picked up the little puppy that was trying to pass from under his leg.


    Fu Hua brought Avery up to his face as he moved his leg away.


    "You look adamant." Fu Hua said to Avery who was trying to leave his hold.


    Ocean saw her child being held up in Fu Hua''s hands and immediately walked over. She raised her front legs and tried to put them on Fu Hua''s legs but he red at her.


    "I will throw your child away if youe over." Fu Hua threatened.


    Ocean had no choice but to move a few steps away from him and only then did Fu Hua put Avery down.


    Immediately she was let down, she ran to Jia Li''s feet toy down obediently. Ocean walked to her side andy down to cuddle her.


    Archie saw what was going on and came to receive a cuddle from his mother as well.


    "Now I see how fun it is to have a pet." Fu Hua said with a devilish smile. He seemed happy to have found a new hobby.


    He felt it would be so much fun to y with the puppies that way.


    "If this is the way you want to y with my puppies, stay away from them." Jia Li said to him.


    "Why should I stay away when I''m interested in owning them? I just discovered that I have been missing out on a lot. I will be sure to take my time in getting to know your puppies.." Fu Hua said with a smirk.

 Chapter 318 - Fu Huas Idea

    <h4>Chapter 318 - Fu Hua''s Idea</h4>


    "Fu Hua!" Jia Li called out with a frown.


    "You want me to stay away from your puppies? Toote. Now that I find them exceptionally cute, you can''t stop me." Fu Hua said as he chuckled.


    Jia Li didn''t have the energy to deal with him. She knows how stubborn he was as he loved making trouble and there was nothing she said that could make him give up on his ridiculous idea.


    A fewter, Jasmine fell asleep. Jia Li sent her boob back into her dress and went on to rub Jasmine''s back. She only gave her to Fu Hua when the little girl burped.


    Jia Li went back to her sketch to paint ???? it.


    "I will leave it out here to dry." Jia Li said 20 minutester after she was done painting.


    "Can I see it?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Not yet, wait till it''s dry. I''m very hungry right now." Jia Li said to him.


    "Let''s go in." Fu Hua said as he stood with Jasmine in his arms.


    As they walked towards the entrance of the house, Ocean and the two puppies followed behind. When they were close to the door, they met a servant who came to inform them about the two visitors they have.


    Fu Hua instructed the servant to monitor Jia Li''s painting and take it to the workshop immediately after it dries.


    Making their way into the sitting room they met Fu YingPei sitting while Zimo was standing with his work bag.


    Fu YingPei got up to greet his brother and Sister-inw when he saw them.


    "What are you doing here?" Fu Hua asked.


    "I came to see sister-inw and my niece." Fu YingPei replied.


    Zimo greeted his Boss and Lady Boss. Today, he got to take another good look at Jia Li and he was more amazed. But he made sure his actions were not noticeable, so his Boss wouldn''t send him away.


    Jia Li replied to their greetings with a smile before taking Jasmine from Fu Hua''s arms.


    "Brother YingPei, Jasmine is sleeping and I''m afraid that you can''t spend time with her." Jia Li said to him.


    "That''s not a problem, I will wait." Fu YingPei said with a smile.


    "Who allowed you to wait?" Fu Hua asked with his hands in his trouser pockets.


    Fu YingPei nced at Jia Li and asked with a friendly smile, "Sister-inw, can I sit here and wait till my niece is awake?"


    "Go ahead." Jia Li said with a smile and walked away with Jasmine in her arms.


    Fu YingPei nced at his brother with a smug look on his face. "See, I can wait."


    "If you act too smug, I wouldn''t mind sending you out of my house." Fu Hua threatened.


    Fu YingPei stopped smiling and sat on the couch. He couldn''t afford to brag to his brother for fear of being sent away.


    Zimo who has been standing was asked to sit. He just found out the name of his boss''s young daughter. This was another news that could sell for more than a million dors.


    Zimo flushed that thought from his head and handed the document he just took out from his back to Fu Hua.


    "Boss, ''Z'' entertainment had an internal problem, so they want to switch Miss Zhi Ruo with another person."


    "What kind of internal problems did they encounter for them to decide to ruin a part of our ns?" Fu Hua asked with a dangerous gaze.


    Fu Hua hated people ruining his ns with useless excuses.


    "They had an issue with Miss Zhi Ruo, so she can''t participate in this show. But the director offered Yanmei to work with us." Zimo revealed.


    "Yanmei? Is she out from her seclusion? Whatever, I don''t want to know. Tell him he has 24 hours to give FJ a proper exnation or adhere to the rules for the breach of contract." Fu Hua said to him.


    He didn''t mind if Zhi Ruo was reced with a better person but he didn''t have that time to waste, so he wanted the director of ''Z'' entertainment to set his facts straight.


    Zimo knew that his boss has agreed for Yanmei to rece Zhi Ruo, so he sighed in relief.


    "Yes Boss, I will inform him immediately!" Zimo said.


    "Is there anything you have to report?" Fu Hua asked.


    "No boss." Zimo replied and got up to leave.


    Immediately he left, Fu YingPei shifted closer to his brother. Fu Hua frowned and asked, "What is it?"


    "Did you cklist FangSu?" Fu YingPei asked with a curious tone.


    "Is that a question?" Fu Hua asked without care.


    "You crushed her hopes. She submitted her resum¨¦ but was told that you cklisted her. She must have cried a lot." Fu YingPeimented.


    "I don''t want to work with someone who has no regard for her superior. If you pity her, you might as well quit working in FJ and go home to console her." Fu Hua said with a re directed at him.


    Fu YingPei shifted away from him immediately. "Who said anything about pity. I was only making some deductions."


    "Better for you." Fu Hua said to him.


    In order not to get himself into trouble, Fu YingPei shut his mouth. When some snacks and a chilled drink were served to him, he began to eat them.


    Fu YingPei onlymented when Fu Hua asked him some questions rted to work.


    "I have ns of hosting a bigpetition after this show. It would be an opportunity for a few young talented designers out there to get into FJ. What do you think about it?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on him.


    YingPei''s eyes widened in excitement. "Wow! That will be awesome. This will be the first in history that FJ is giving a huge opportunity to a few lucky and talented designers. Everyone will go crazy if they learn of this."


    "I''m asking about the idea if it''s good?!" Fu Hua asked with a frown. His brother was saying a different thing from what he wanted to hear.


    "Of course, this would be wonderful! I love this concept. If you bring it up to the directors with a few reasons to back it up, they would all ept it. And besides, this will bring a lot of attention to FJ which would also be good publicity.." Fu YingPei said with a big smile.

 Chapter 319 - Pump Some Milk

    <h4>Chapter 319 - Pump Some Milk</h4>


    "I had the idea yesterday. I will think more about it before meeting with the board of directors. For now, our main focus will be on the show in 2 weeks." Fu Hua said.


    Some minutester, Jia Li came back with her little bun in her arms. When Jia Liid her on the bed, she only slept for 20 minutes before waking up with a cry.


    Jia changed her diapers and tried to bathe her with warm water but she was scared Jasmine would slip out of her hands. Housekeeper Zu smiled and showed her how to hold Jasmine so she wouldn''t slip out of her hands.


    "I will just watch you, next time, I will try it." Jia Li said to her with a smile.


    Jasmine whose body was being washed was busy sucking her fingers while looking around. She looked so cute and it looked like she loved to have a bath because she was so calm.


    After washing her body in the ''3 in 1 Aqua scale, digital scale thermometer bath'' Housekeeper Zu dried her body before carrying her to her cot to dress her up, while two other servants took care of the bath area.


    When Jasmine was ready, Jia Li put the baby cap over her head before lifting her in her arms. Jia Li kissed the little bun''s tender cheeks with a big smile.


    "Are you hungry? If you''re hungry, eat now, before we go to the living room." Jia Li said to her.


    Jasmine had her gaze on her and moved her arms before smacking her lips.


    "It looks like you want to have a little milk." Jia Li said with a smile as she went to sit on a chair. Backing the servants, she sat on the seat with Jasmine in her arms. Next, she brought out her left boob and put it in her mouth.


    She breastfed Jasmine for a few minutes before rubbing her back. They only left for the living room after the little girl burped.


    Fu YingPei was more than happy to hold his niece.


    "She''s so cute." Fu YingPei said when Jia Li put the little girl in his arms. He looked very excited to hold his little niece in his arms.


    "Brother Pei, please don''t shake her, she just finished eating." Jia Li reminded him with a smile.


    "Hold my daughter properly!" Fu Hua said from the side with his gaze on his little princess. Since Jia Li handed her over to his brother, his gaze has not left their side. He didn''t trust anyone to hold his child in the right way.


    "I will brother, rx!" Fu YingPei said as his gaze went back to the little girl that had her eyes on him.


    "Why is she so quiet?" Fu YingPei asked.


    "Why? You want her to cry?" Fu Hua asked with a frown.


    "No, I don''t mean that. She is just staring at me and not doing or saying anything, it looks weird." Fu YingPei said.


    "She''s just 2 weeks old." Jia Li said as she sat on the special seat made for her.


    "How old were you when you started talking and making big movements with your arms and feet?" Fu Hua asked.


    "I don''t know, so I will have to ask mother about it." Fu YingPei said with a smile. He understood his brother was jealous of him holding his daughter and he found that funny.


    An hourter, Fu YingPei had to leave reluctantly as it was already getting dark. Jia Li asked him to stay over for dinner but he rejected her saying that he would eat when he got back home.


    Atst, Jasmine returned to her father''s arms. Her father only had eyes for her, as he didn''t care if his brother was leaving or not.


    Jia Li smiled from the side, before turning on the TV. She wished she could summon Ocean. When they were about to enter the house that time, their caregiver came and took them away.


    "Are you tired? Do you want to get some sleep?" Fu Hua asked in concern.


    "I am tired and my body is in pain, I think I need to get some rest but I''m afraid Jasmine would be hungry soon." Jia Li said in a tired voice.


    "Come, I will teach you the right thing to do." Fu Hua said as he got up and went to her side. With one arm holding his daughter, he stretched the other hand out to her. Jia Li reluctantly took his hand and got up, before making their way up the stairs.


    When they got to her bedroom, Fu Hua called Housekeeper Zu and asked her to clean the breast pump and bottle.


    "You want me to pump some milk?" Jia Li asked.


    "Yes, so you can rest when you want, while I feed her." Fu Hua replied.


    In no time, Housekeeper Zu brought the breast pump and the bottle. And before she could ask if they needed help, Fu Hua sent her away.


    "Take off your nursing bra." Fu Hua said with his gaze fixed on her after he ced Jasmine inside her cot.


    The little girl didn''t know what was happening. She was so quiet as she moved her little hands gently.


    Jia Li fixed a weird gaze on Fu Hua. The way he gave themand, made her feel insecure.


    "Why do I feel like I''m being yed now?" She asked.


    "If you put it that way, you will make me think that way" Fu Hua said as he sat beside her on the bed with the breast pump in his hands.


    Jia Li stared at him for a moment before going to unzip her dress next, she pulled down her nursing bra and let her big boobs out.


    "This hurts!" Jia Liined after she let her boobs out.


    "That''s the reason you need to pump breast milk ????. Come, I will help you to release the burden." Fu Hua said as he fixed the breast pump on her left nipple and handed it to her, so she could control the pumping.


    "It feels weird to do this." Jia Li said with her gaze on the pump.


    "Yes, it does feel weird but what I''m about to do feels weirder." Fu Hua said with a smirk.

    <h4>Chapter 320 - I Will Take It Directly From Your...</h4>


    "Jasmine, can you see what your shameless father is doing? He calls you his little princess, but he''s out here stealing your milk!." Jia Li cried out with her gaze on Jasmine who was lying in her cot


    Jasmine''s shameless father still had his lipstched on Jia Li''s right nipple, and he was eating his daughter''s food.


    Jia Li was surprised when Fu Hua leaned over and put his mouth on her breast. She was shocked out of her wits.


    "Fu Hua what do you think you''re doing?!." She had said to him with a shocked gaze as she used her free hand and tried moving his head away.


    Fu Hua didn''t reply to her, as he continued to swallow the breastmilk wholeheartedly.


    As he wasn''t responding, Jia Li had to cry out to her little bun in hopes she would attract her father''s attention.


    The little bun was smacking her lips and moving her hands and feet. She has been perceiving her food for a few minutes now, and she was already getting hungry.


    The little girl heard her mother call for her, but she was blinking her eyes and trying to see where the sound came from, as she put her fingers in her mouth and sucked them hungrily.


    "You... you are so shameless! Get off me this second!." Jia Li said to Fu Hua in an angry tone. She was not really angry, she was just shocked by his actions.


    Instead of Fu Hua letting go, he imitated his little princess by putting his hands on her breast.


    Jia Li felt like kicking him in his head. She was wondering if he didn''t have enough breastmilk when he was a child.


    Jia Li smacked him on his back and asked him to let go. Fu Hua finally raised his head to smile at her.


    "Do you think this is funny?!." Jia Li asked with a fierce gaze.


    "This is serious business. Thank you for letting me have a taste." Fu Hua said with a smile as he leaned away.


    Jia Li was not happy with him, and as she raised her hands to hit him again, he caught her hand. "You want to hit your husband?."


    "Which husband? A husband that was shamelessly eating his child''s food?." Jia Li asked.


    "I only wanted to have a taste, why are you so worked up?." Fu Hua asked.


    Jia Li refused to talk to him again. After pumping two bottles full of breastmilk, she gave him one bottle as she said, "Since you like breastmilk so much, you can keep this one for yourself."


    "I don''t want it. I like to take it directly from your boobs." Fu Hua said as he touched her left breast.


    Jia Li hit his hand away and rolled her eyes at him.


    Fu Hua smiled and kissed her cheek before escaping. He knows that his little wife is angry with him.


    Before Jasmine could start crying for her milk, Jia Li lifted her from her cot and ced her in her arms, before breastfeeding her.


    When Fu YingPei got back home, he was in time to meet dinner being served, so he quickly went to his bedroom to freshen up beforeing down to eat.


    In the hallway, he met FangSu who was walking towards him angrily.


    It turns out that she came to meet him because of the ban she was given.


    "FangSu, there is nothing I can do for you. Just go and please with Hua to forgive you, and only then will the back be lifted." Fu YingPei advised her.


    "Big Brother is so mean! How could he ban me? Now, there is a taint in my name." FangSu said in an angry tone.


    "There are only a few people in FJ that know about this. If Brother forgives you, you can get into FJ, and you''d better be careful not to provoke him further, or he will block the leeway he left." Fu YingPei revealed.


    "I''m so angry!." FangSu said in an angry tone as she crossed her arms.


    Two dayster, FJ announced their muse for the current season of the Autumn fashion show. She was a model with qualities, reputation, and achievements far better than Feng Alix.


    When FJ put up the announcement, everyone couldn''t wait anymore for the show already.


    ''Z'' Entertainment we''re able to convince Yanmei who was one of the biggest celebrities in the country, toe back from her long break before time.


    After Fu Meixu''s agency struck a deal with Yanmei to take another break after the show, she happily agreed to participate in the Autumn fashion show.


    Three dayster, all the models that would be participating in the Autumn fashion show, went to FJ for their final dress fittings.


    It was always a wonderful experience to be in FJ, and that''s why those who participated in thest year''s show, fought to participate for this year.


    The treatment in FJ was top-notch, and the exposure and the pay was something else, amongst these, there were other little things worth fighting for.


    A few days before the fashion show, FJ released the profile of the models that would be on the grand show.


    It was indeed huge news to see famous models, and some of the country''s top celebrities up there.


    FJ made the short clip entertaining. The clip had all the models in there, with a male voice introducing each one of them, and their zodiac signs, including a few seconds statement from them.


    Jia Li was having a rxing time with Jasmine, and she missed Fu Hua, as he has been very busy. He started going back to the office the previous day, he wouldn''t have that time to spend with them again, till the showes and ends.


    As Fu Hua was busy with the uing show, it was the perfect time for Fu Hee to visit, so today, she came over with Fu ChunHua


    Jia Li enjoyed thepany of the two women. She was already getting bored, and they came over to chat with her, and it was just what she needed.


    Fu Hee was happy to see her grandchild, as the little girl had put on some weight since shest saw her.

 Chapter 321 - Its Been Long

    <h4>Chapter 321 - It''s Been Long</h4>


    Fu Hee asked about Jia Li''s health and how she was feeling now.


    "Do you need me to send another professional to assist like Mrs. Zu?" Fu Hee asked with a smile.


    "No Aunty, it will be a hassle. My doctores over to check up on me and the child, so it''s fine." Jia Li said as she rejected her politely.


    "If you say so. Don''t forget to reach out to me if you have any troubles. Although my mother-inw and a nanny helped me when I had Fu Hua, I still know a thing or two." Fu Hee said to her.


    "Thank you, Aunty. I will seek your guidance when I need it." Jia Li said with a smile.


    "Good." Fu Hee said and nced at the child in her arms. The little girl looked so innocent as she watched her.


    "Jia Li, we brought some soup for you, drink it while it''s hot." Fu ChunHua said as she took out the sk from the bag and put it on a stool.


    "Aunty, don''t you think I am getting fatter? If I keep eating all these foods, I may not be able to fit in my clothes." Jia Li said.


    She was tired of drinking soup already. In every meal she ate, she must either drink a medicinal herb or a soup cooked with some herbs.


    "The soup is medicinal, it won''t make you put on some weight. I like the way your cheeks are looking rounder, that shows that you are eating well." Fu ChunHua replied.


    "Jia Li, don''t worry about putting on a little weight because you can''t escape it. You are still breastfeeding, so you need to be eating constantly. Don''t worry, you can still lose the fat if you want." Fu Hee said to her in a gentle tone.


    "Yes, don''t worry about being fat. You just need to eat healthily and there is nothing wrong with putting on some weight. But even if you want to shed some fats, it''s easy. We can get someone that will help you when you are ready. For now, concentrate and feed our girl well and you are already doing a good job." Fu ChunHua added with a smile.


    Jia Li sighed and asked the servant by the side to turn the soup into a bowl and bring it for her.


    Jia Li was worried about the changes made to her body. It would be easy to tell that something major went on in her body. She couldn''t wait to return to her shape and go out in public.


    She didn''t want all eyes to be on her, as nobody knows she was married or even had a child. She was preparing to return to the limelight again and that will happen when she gets into FJ.


    Breastfeeding made her eat a lot. Now, she has to wait till Jasmine is a little older before she could improvise but she doubts that she would do that


    Jia Li nned on doing exclusive breastfeeding for Jasmine for 6 months before she could introduce other baby foods and Fu Hua supported that, as he wants his daughter to enjoy the basic nutrients required.


    Since the soup had nothing to do with her putting on weight, Jia Li finished a bowl. When she asked if she wanted more, she rejected the idea.


    When Jasmine cried because of hunger, Jia Li took out her food from the warmer and passed it to Fu Hee, so she could bottle-feed her.


    "This is a good idea." Fu ChunHua said from the side and Fu Hee agreed with her. It was so convenient to bottle-feed a baby, especially in public.


    As Jasmine was gradually getting used to bottle-feeding, she didn''t encounter any trouble with sucking her milk from the bottle.


    Before work hours were over, Fu Hee and Fu ChunHua left.


    When Fu Hua came back from work, Jia Li and Jasmine were already in the bedroom. He went straight to kiss his wife and his sleeping daughter on their cheeks, before going to freshen up.


    When he returned, Jia Li asked how work was and the progress for the uing fashion show.


    "It was fine. I will be very busy tomorrow but I will try toe back on time." Fu Hua said to her in a gentle tone.


    "It''s alright, work is important, we understand. You already sacrificed a lot to work from home just so you could spend time with us." Jia Li said with a smile.


    "It''s not a sacrifice, it is my responsibility to take care of my family." Fu Hua whispered in her ear and bit it gently before leaning away.


    Jia Li frowned as she touched her ear and said to him, "That tickles."


    "When will your confinement period end?" Fu Hua asked as he gazed at her affectionately.


    "Soon, in about 2 or 3 weeks." Jia Li replied.


    Fu Hua hugged her and said, "I can''t wait already, it''s been long."


    Jia Li didn''t need to ask him what he meant by that. She understood him clearly. She blushed and touched his arms which circled her waist.


    Seeing she was quiet, he asked in a hushed tone, "Don''t you miss usying naked beside each other in bed?"


    "How can you talk about that, so tantly?" Jia Li asked with crimson cheeks. She was shy with him mentioning their sexual activity.


    "Answer me." Fu Hua said as he kissed her neck.


    His action tickled Jia Li and she instinctively move her shoulder upwards. His breath caressed her neck and caused that ce to feel ticklish.


    "I missed it." Jia Li replied. There was silence for a while before she turned to face him.


    "If you want me to satisfy you the other way, I can do that." Jia Li said as she fiddled with her fingers. She was so shy when she thought about the other ways she could pleasure him.


    Fu Hua smiled and took her hands in his. Then he said in a gentle voice, "Thank you but there is no need, I will wait for your confinement period to end before we do that. You just have to bear in mind that I have been starved for too long, so you need to eat enough and start conserving your energy for that day."


    Jia Li blushed and covered her face with her palms. Her husband really knew how to talk dirty.. In fact, he was an expert in it.

 Chapter 322 - Li Huan Interrupts

    <h4>Chapter 322 - Li Huan Interrupts</h4>


    Fu Hua and Jia Li engaged in a kissing session before they were interrupted by the sound of Jia Li''s phone vibrating on the nightstand.


    "Who is calling?" Jia Li asked as she broke the kiss.


    Fu Hua got up and picked her phone from the nightstand. He nced at the caller ID and a frown appeared on his face.


    Jia Li saw the change in his facial expression and asked with a frown, "Who is that?"


    Fu Hua passed the phone to her without a word. When Jia Li saw the caller ID, she knew why his mood was quick to change.


    Because of the sleeping Jasmine, Jia Li went into the inner room to answer the call. But before she left, she gave a sign to Fu Hua that she was leaving to answer the call, in order not to disturb the sleeping child.


    Fu Hua nodded and sat back on the bed. His entire mood was in a mess. He didn''t know why Li Huan liked to call his wife at night and that made him unhappy.


    Jia Li answered the call just before it could disconnect.


    "Brother Huan, good evening." Jia Li greeted.


    "Good Evening. Jia Li I''m sorry I''m calling sote but I just found time to call now." Li Huan replied.


    "It''s okay, are you very busy at work?" Jia Li asked.


    Li Huan thought Jia Li didn''t mind the time he was calling and that she cares for him to ask about his work, so he felt a little joyful in his heart.


    Actually, Jia Li didn''t mind that he hasn''t called for a long time because she didn''t care about him like she used to, so she was not bothered. But as someone she has known for a long time, she still had to show a little concern, so she asked about his work.


    "Yes, I am. After getting promoted, the workload increased instead of reducing but the pay is worth the stress." Li Huan answered.


    "When you move to a higher rank, expect more work. You can find time to rest during weekends." Jia Li suggested.


    "I will listen to you, thank you. How are you doing? How is your child? I''m sorry I''m just checking up on you now." Li Huan apologized.


    "Brother Huan, stop apologizing. My baby and I are fine and we are doing great." Jia Li replied.


    Li Huan heaved a sigh of relief. "That''s good. What''s your baby''s gender, I need to get a gift to wee her into this world?"


    "It''s a princess. Brother Huan, there is no need to get anything for her, she already has a lot of gifts that can be used all on her." Jia Li said with a frown.


    "It doesn''t matter. You are now like a sister to me, please ept the gift. You can''t reject your brother''s gift." Li Huan said with a painful smile on his face.


    He couldn''t believe he was calling someone that once used to be his love, his sister. Life was unbelievable.


    The reason he hasn''t contacted her for so long was that he was trying to get over her and get rid of the romantic love he had for her.


    Jia Li was already tired and had no strength to argue with him. She let him be.


    "Okay."


    "Thank you for epting the gift. Please give me your house address, I will send the gift over by tomorrow." Li Huan said.


    "My house address?" Jia Li said in a dilemma. She didn''t want to give out her home address Fu Hua would be angry if she does that, she could already see his change in facial expression when he saw who was calling her.


    An idea came to her head and she said to him, "Brother Huan, instead of buying the wrong gift and growing through all that trouble to send the gift over, send the money to me and I will buy the perfect gift on your behalf."


    The expectant smile on Li Huan''s face vanished. He was disappointed that he couldn''t get her address. He wanted to know where she was living at least but it looks like she didn''t want him to know.


    Li Huan smiled bitterly and said to her, "Are you afraid that I would visit you? Don''t worry, I won''t do that. But it''s okay, send your details, I will send the money for the perfect gift for your princess."


    Jia Li sighed in relief.


    "Brother Huan, thank you for understanding. Please if you want to call next time, don''t do that at night, it could wake the baby and it would be troublesome putting her back to sleep." Jia Li said to him in a gentle tone.


    Jia Li used Jasmine as an excuse to get Li Huan to stop calling herte in the evening. Fu Hua was already annoyed about it and she didn''t find it right since it wasn''t an emergency or business-rted call. She sounded gentle, so he wouldn''t feel bad.


    Li Huan could gradually feel the distance between him and Jia Li but what can he do? Nothing...


    "Sure, no problem. I''m sorry about calling sote. Good night." Li Huan said to her.


    "Thank you! Please send my regards to Aunty." Jia Li said to him.


    "I will." Li Huan replied.


    After the call terminated, Jia Li went back to the bedroom. Fu Hua was still sitting in the same position he was when she left.


    "Are you through with the call?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.


    "Yes. He called to apologize about not reaching out to me..." Jia Li went on to exin the details of their conversation.


    "It''s good that you warned him, let''s see if he would listen this time around. Next time, don''t ept any gift or money from him, reject him outright or you can mention me. I don''t want you to feel indebted to anyone." Fu Hua said to her.


    "It''s okay, I get it. If he calls sote again, I won''t answer the call." Jia Li promised.


    Fu Hua didn''t want to dwell on the matter. He made her a lot on the bed before helping to bring the great pump.


    He wanted her to pump breastmilk for Jasmine so he could help to feed her in the middle of the night if she woke up due to hunger.

 Chapter 323 - Grandfather Fu Keeps Jia Li Company

    <h4>Chapter 323 - Grandfather Fu Keeps Jia Li Company</h4>


    A day before FJ''s fashion show, Zhi Ruo packed her bags and left for another country for a holiday that was imposed on her and the worst was that she had to foot half of the bills which means that she has to manage now since her money was involved.


    The next was the first day of FJ''s Autumn Fashion show for the year. Jia Li couldn''t go because Jasmine was still young for that kind of exposure. The members of the Fu family got VIP tickets and of course, FangSu wasn''t given one, much to her anger.


    Grandfather asked for FangSu not to be get out of the house before he left. While FangSu stayed at home, her greatest friend went to the fashion show.


    Grandfather Fu didn''t go for the show but went straight to Fu Hua and Jia Li''s ce. He knew that Jia Li would be all alone at home, so he went there to apany her.


    Jia Li was so touched when she heard from the old man that he came to keep herpany. She hugged him from the side and thanked him.


    It was a good thing that the old man wasn''t repulsive of dogs like Fu Hua did because she already asked for Ocean and the pups to be let in. At least, they could keep herpany while she watched the live show on the TV.


    Oceanid down on the rug obediently. But as for the pups, they didn''t know how to stay at a ce for long. They would only be over you that minute. But in the next few minutes, they were already up, doing their thing.


    Housekeeper Zu came out to serve the old man some fruits and an aged wine that was good for his health.


    "Grandfather, enjoy the drink. It will help you stay stronger and healthier." Jia Li said to him with a smile.


    "Thank you." Grandfather Fu said with a smile as Butler Zu poured some drink into his ss. After the old man had a taste, he nodded happily and gave Jia Li a thumbs up.


    "The wine is rich in taste." Grandfather Fumented.


    "And that''s the reason I bought an extra bottle for you. Grandfather, I will pack it immediately." Jia Li said with a smile.


    Jia Li got the bottle of expensive healthy wine for the old man. She was concerned for his health and had to do something for him. She was happy she made the right choice.


    "That''s good!" The old man replied happily.


    As the fashion show was about to start and Jasmine was sleeping, Jia Li and the old man fixed their gaze on the TV and watched the countdown begin.


    The fashion showsted for 4 hours. And in-between those times, Jasmine woke up and the old man. carried her. When she was hungry, Jia Li bottle-fed her before passing her to the old man that was eager to hold his great-grandchild.


    The old man agreed to leave after Jia Li convinced him to go back and rest. She knew he must be tired and have other important things to do after spending a lot of time with her and the baby.


    Housekeeper Zu didn''t forget to hand the wine to Butler Lu.


    Before leaving finally, Grandfather Fu talked about hosting a party for Jasmine when she would turn one month and that would be a few days.


    The next day which was the second day for FJ''s fashion show, Fu Hee and Fu ChunHua didn''t attend instead, they came over to keep Jia Lipany.


    The two women left when it was almost the end of the show.


    Jia Li could see reporters surrounding Fu Hua immediately after the show was over. They were asking him several questions rted to his hidden wife and child and a few questions that were asked were rted to FJ''s activities.


    Fu Hua only answered a few questions or rather, he summarized the numerous questions he was asked with a simple answer.


    "My wife and child are doing great, thank you for asking. FJ is working towards releasing a new collection soon."


    Fu Hua''s response was so short and that made the reporters question themselves. They had clearly asked him about the identity of his wife, the reason he is hiding her from the public. They also asked about his child and other private questions but he didn''t say anything concerning that.


    After saying that short response, the bodyguards came and shielded Fu Hua from the reporters so he could leave.


    Fu Hua didn''t go homest night because he was very busy. But he managed to have a facetime with Jia Li and their daughter. And now the show was over, he left his team to wrap up the rest, while he went home to see his wife and daughter.


    When Fu Hua got home, Jia Li weed him with a hug. She kissed his lips and congratted him on the sess of the show.


    Fu Hua hugged her tightly and inhaled her scent with his eyes closed.


    "I missed you and our princess." Fu Hua said in a gentle tone as he held Jia Li in his embrace without letting go.


    "We missed you too. You sound tired, you need to take a shower and eat and only then can you sleep." Jia Li said to him.


    "I will listen to you but first, I have to see our princess. And I''m skipping the food aspect, I will eatter." Fu Hua replied as he released her from his embrace.


    "Okay, I will keep your food on. Go ahead and freshen up. Jasmine is in the nursery with Mrs. Zu, you can quietly check on her on your way." Jia Li said with a smile.


    After Fu Hua went away, she went to the kitchen to take care of his food herself. She put his food in a sk to warm it, before she took it up to his bedroom, so he can eat it after he was done resting.


    Jia Li''s idea was the best because when he woke up from his deep sleep, it was already sote at night. He saw the food sk on his table and got out of bed.


    He walked towards the ss table and saw a handwritten note by Jia Li next to the food. She asked him to eat the food...


    ''Eat your food and then you can join us in the room next door. We love you! ??''

 Chapter 324 - A Stupid Person Like You

    <h4>Chapter 324 - A Stupid Person Like You</h4>


    A deep smile appeared on Fu Hua''s face after reading the note. He kissed the piece of paper before sitting down to eat the food she served him.


    Fu Hua cleared his tes before going to Jia Li''s bedroom to see his wife and daughter, who were already sleeping soundly.


    Since he just woke up from a deep sleep, he wasn''t feeling sleepy. He watched his angels for a while and left for the study after kissing their cheeks.


    There was work to do after every sessful show.


    FJ''s Autumn fashion show was the most talked about for several days. Many people were interested in the customer that bought the most beautiful pieces of clothes showcased on that day.


    Many people that were interested in the details, were lurking around on social media and waiting to see the news of the identities of the people that got the interesting pieces of the show.


    All were found except for one, as the owner refused to show his or herself. This got the attention of those curious.


    Even FJ didn''t have much information on the buyer of the most beautiful piece in their show. The person was very wealthy and was willing to pay double the price just to get the dress.


    Soon, finding the identity of that piece of the beautiful dress was forgotten and the person''s identity remained hidden as the person wanted.


    The next day, Grandfather Fu released a piece of news on behalf of the Fu family. He was announcing the celebration of a party for his great-grandchild who turned a month old.


    Friends, family and even the public sent in their congrattory messages.


    It was a private party with only the Fu family in attendance. But extended families came for the party.


    This time around, Fu Juan came alone. Her husband was nowhere to be found. The reason she gave, was that he had an important business meeting to attend, so he couldn''t make it back in time.


    Nobody paid much attention to her reason, as Jasmine was the focus for the day.


    The Fu family were all smiles as they celebrated thetest member of the family.


    As for FangSu, this was one of the luckiest days for her. She felt relieved as she wasn''t locked up in her bedroom.


    In the course of the party, FangSu only interacted with some of the members of the extended family before going to sit by herself.


    Fu Meixu saw her sitting by herself and smiled and she walked over with a ss of champagne. "This is what happens when you are not on good terms with your family."


    "Did I tell you I was bothered?" FangSu looked up with a re.


    "You don''t need to say anything but I know it''s an ufortable feeling. Since you don''t feel that bad, how do you feel that I got to model for FJ, while you were cklisted. Who did you offend?" Fu Meixu asked as she made fun of her.


    She wanted to take the opportunity to ruin FangSu''s mood as thetter had been way too arrogant since their childhood.


    "If you came here to make trouble, you better be on your way. I don''t have time for a stupid person like you." FangSu said in an angry tone.


    Fu Meixu chuckled softly and asked, "If I am stupid, what are you? I''m sure you would get a worse title since you are in a worse condition than me."


    "You have grown wings over the time I haven''t been around," FangSu said with a re.


    She was angry when she thought of how Fu Meixu was now stepping all over her head. Before, it was not possible as she had the backing of the big shots. But now, she had no one.


    "It''s not that, you lost the people that were behind you but that''s by the way. You really are one generous person I know and I respect you for that. You were locked away at home during the FJ Autumn show but your good friend was in attendance and I saw her talking to friends from your circle and I''m sure they had a good time without you." Fu Meixu revealed and walked away with a low chuckle.


    Her words were enough to stir up something in FangSu.


    FangSu hasn''t been paying attention to a lot of thingstely. She forgot that there would be a possibility of Bai Jun attending the show. But as thetter didn''t say anything to her, she thought she wouldn''t be going but who knew she attended and didn''t say anything to her and nobody in their circle called to know the reason she didn''te for the show.


    FangSu was pained and angry at the same time. She picked up her phone from the table and walked away to make a phone call.


    After several rings, Bai Jun still did not pick up.


    "Is she avoiding my calls?!" Bai Jun asked herself with an angry countenance.


    "It looks like you have been abandoned." Fu Meixu said with a smile as she came from behind.


    "You are good at looking for trouble. Let me warn you that I can still trample over you when I get back to my feet, so you better stay clear." FangSu warned.


    "Oh, I''m scared." Fu Meixu said with a scared look on her face and the next moment, she wasughing hard.


    Fu Meixu closed the distance between them and leaned in to whisper to FangSu''s ear. "You must be ignorant if you still think I am scared of you. Next time when you see me, you must rightfully address me as your elder."


    Fu Meixu leaned away after passing her message in a strong low tone. "I hope you enjoy the rest of your night." She said before walking away.


    FangSu was so angry that she raised her hand to hit Fu Meixu just as she turned away but her hand stopped in mid-air.


    FangSu squeezed her fists and brought down her hand as she could only watch Fu Meixu stride away arrogantly.


    "Bitch!" FangSu cursed through gritted teeth.

 Chapter 325 - Play With Her

    <h4>Chapter 325 - y With Her</h4>


    FangSu nced at her phone and tries to dial Bai Jun''s number again but she heard approaching footsteps and looked up. On seeing her big brother, she became tense and quickly hid her phone behind her.


    Fu Hua nced at her before walking past her with his phone in hand. He didn''t say anything to her and that made FangSu feel relieved.


    She held her chest in her hand and calmed down before going back to the party. She didn''t bother to try Bai Jun''s contact again. She was already scared for her life when she saw him.


    The party that was being held in the Fu Vi was wrapped up by 7 pm. Jasmine was still too young, so she couldn''t stay outside for a long time because of insects like mosquitoes and sun flies. So, once it was 6:30 pm, Jia Li carried her inside the house.


    The little girl was truly on her best behavior tonight. When she was hungry as the party was going on, Grandfather Fu fed her from her bottle to the amazement of other family members.


    FangSu was so jealous that she couldn''t watch the loving sight. She moved her face away and stared at something else she felt was more important.


    After Jia Li took Jasmine back to her and Fu Hua''s bedroom andid her on the big bed.


    "My sweetie pie, you were so obedient today." Jia Li said with a smile as she held the little girl''s fists before leaning in to nt a kiss on her cheek.


    Jasmine smiled at her and kicked her little hands and feet as she cooed.


    "You''re so cute. Now, it''s time for you to have your bath..." Jia Li said to her as she touched her soft cheeks.


    Jasmine kicked her feet and immediately reached out to touch her hands with an excited look on her face.


    "Huh! It looks like you really want to have a night bath. Wait, I will take off your clothes." Jia Li said happily as she started to remove the little girl''s dress.


    She started by taking off her socks and while she was doing that, Housekeeper Zu came out from the inner room to tell her the thing for Jasmine''s bath was ready.


    "Okay, we will be there in 3 minutes." Jia Li replied before ncing back at her cute daughter who was all smiles.


    After taking off her clothes, Jia Li lifted her in her arms and rubbed her bottom as she walked towards the inner room with Housekeeper Zu following behind them.


    Walking into the huge washroom where everything for Jasmine''s bath has been set, Jia Li handed Jasmine over to housekeeper Zu.


    Jia Li was still dressed in her outfit as she watched her daughter having a bath.


    While Jasmine''s face was being washed, the little girl got ufortable and tried to move her face away with a frown.


    Jia Li couldn''t let the obedient streak she has been keeping be ruined during her bath time, so she started singing to her.


    Housekeeper Zu was quick to finish washing Jasmine''s face and only then did the little girl rx and put her fingers in her mouth to lick them.


    After bathing, Jasmine was clothed in an overall baby dress. Jia Li liked her scent and couldn''t help burying her face in her daughter''s neck just to inhale more of her scent.


    Jasmine had her eyes glued on her mother''s hair when she came close. Because of their posture, the little girl couldn''t reach out to touch her mother''s hair as she was curious about it.


    When Housekeeper Zu was done clearing Jasmine''s bath stuff, she left the mother and daughter pair. And not long after, Fu Hua walked in.


    "It''s a relief that you''re here." Jia Li said with her smiling gaze on him.


    "Is she crying?" Fu Hua asked as he approached their side.


    "No, in fact, it''s the opposite. She is very active now and you need to y with her while I go have a bath." Jia Li said to him with a smile.


    "Sure." Fu Hua said with a smile. He was more than happy to y with his daughter.


    As he attempted to carry the little girl, Jia Li stopped him, "If you carry her, you may not be able to put her down. Your daughter loves attention."


    "It doesn''t matter. I wouldn''t want to put her down either." Fu Hua replied and went on to carry the little girl in his arms.


    Sometimes, putting Jasmine down would be a problem. She likes cuddles and her father made her used to them because he was always holding her.


    Jia Li went to freshen up and came back some minutester to take the little bun from him, so he could go and have his bath.


    "Jasmine, it''s time for you to eat and sleep." Jia Li said as she sat on the couch with the little girl who cooed while gazing at her with a smile.


    Jasmine who was very excited, got serious when her mother brought out her food. Her little hands moved over to hold her breast before she quickly put her mouth on it and started sucking.


    As Jia Li was serious about putting Jasmine to sleep, she caressed her back and sang to her while breastfeeding her.


    By the time Fu Hua stepped into the room, Jasmine''s eyes were closed. And before he could say anything, Jia Li gave him a sign to be quiet.


    Jia Li breastfed Jasmine for a few more minutes to be sure she was already deep into sleep, before cing her in her crib.


    "Come here." Fu Hua said to Jia Li with a smile as he stood with his hands spread and ready for a hug.


    Jia Li smiled and walked towards him to embrace him.


    "You''re a good mother to our daughter. And you learned quickly to get into your role as a mother." Fu Hua said as he kissed her forehead.


    "Of course, I have to try my best to be a good mother to our daughter." Jia Li replied with her eyes closed. She felt so secure in his embrace.

 Chapter 326 - It Doesnt Sound Right

    <h4>Chapter 326 - It Doesn''t Sound Right</h4>


    "We have to travel back to your hometown as it''s your parent''s death Anniversary. We should leave in 2 days, so we cane back on time. Jasmine is too young to stay out for a long time." Fu Hua said to her in a gentle tone.


    "This will be the first time Jasmine will see her grandparents. I hope mum and dad are resting peacefully." Jia Li said with a sad smile as she tightened her hands around Fu Hua''s waist


    "Your parents are resting peacefully, don''t worry." Fu Hua said as he kissed the top of her hair.


    Jia Li snuggled more into his warm chest and her lips turned up in a smile. Her stomach size has reduced drastically, so she had no issues with receiving a frontal hug. She just needed to continue drinking her soup and sticking to her diet before her stomach size will go back to how t it used to be.


    "Today is a happy day, Jasmine is a month old. Instead of being so emotional, why don''t we do something else?" Fu Hua suggested as he released her from the hug.


    "What can we do?" Jia Li asked with raised brows as she had no idea of what he was talking about.


    "Remember what I told you about a week or 2 weeks ago? I want it today. It''s been a long time, I can''t wait further." Fu Hua said as she caressed her face.


    Jia Li understood him and blushed. She nced at the sleeping beauty in her cot and looked back at Fu Hua and said, "But Jasmine is here, it doesn''t sound right to do it."


    "You''re just worried. We just have to reduce our tone and be mindful not to make any noise." Fu Hua whispered to her with a smile.


    "But still, I feel that Jasmine would hear us. She is still a child. And then the scent in the room. What if she starts crying when we are doing it? No, forget it. When she grows up more, we can do it." Jia Li said and walked towards the bed.


    Jia Li was scared of Jasmine waking up on them. She wanted her little girl''s mind to remain healthy and she wouldn''t befortable doing that kind of thing when someone else was present, so she refused totally.


    Fu Hua chuckled softly. He already nned to eat candy tonight and nothing can stop him. Since Jia Li was worried because of Jasmine, he decided to send her away.


    Fu Hua went into the inner room to pack a few diapers, change of clothes, bibs and a few things into a small bag then he walked back into the room with it.


    Next, he opened Jasmine''s food warmer to ensure that her bottles of milk were there. He zipped the warmer and put the two bags on his shoulder before walking towards Jasmine''s cot.


    As he lifted the little girl to his arms, Jia Li who had been watching curiously asked, "Where are you taking my child?"


    "Don''t worry, justy on the bed and wait for me." Fu Hua whispered in a low tone for fear that the little girl would wake up.


    Jia Li was shocked that Fu Hua decided to take their daughter away just so that he could get what he wanted.


    ''Is he really in need of it?'' She thought to herself.


    Fu Hua went downstairs with the little girl in his arms and went straight to a room door. He knocked twice and waited for a few moments before the door opened from the inside.


    Fu Lei was surprised to see his son with his granddaughter in his arms in front of his door at night.


    "What are you doing here? Where is Jia Li?" Fu Lei asked in a concerned tone but his facial expression looked otherwise.


    "Jia Li needs to get some rest. You and mother should take care of her for tonight. I wille back for her in the morning." Fu Hua said as he handed the two bags to his father.


    Right then, Fu Hee appeared and was surprised to see that it was Fu Hua. She heard Fu Lei asking about Jia Lia and came out.


    Without warning, Fu Hua ced the sleeping little girl in her arms and turned to walk away without saying a word to her.


    Fu Hee and Fu Lei were happy to take care of their granddaughter.


    When they walked inside the room, they exchanged roles. Fu Lei held the little girl, while Fu Hee made a space in the center of the bed for her.


    She spread the clothing material Fu Hua brought along on the bed so she couldy Jasmine on it.


    After settling the little girl who moved her fingers and her face as she was disturbed, Fu Hee ced her warmer on the nightstand next to her side of the bed, before getting in under the covers.


    Fu Lei joined her as well. "It looks like Fu Hua has started trusting you seeing that he gave his daughter to you."


    "I hope so." Fu Hee replied with a smile.


    When Fu Hua got back to his bedroom with a trolley of some snacks and food he pushed in by himself, Jia Li was pacing around the room.


    When she saw him, she asked in a concerned tone, "Where did you take Jasmine to? Did you give her to grandfather?"


    "Grandfather is old already, so I couldn''t disturb him. I sent her to her grandparents for the night." Fu Hua replied casually as he stopped the trolley next to the couch before going to hug Jia Li.


    "I thought you didn''t want mother to ever hold her?" Jia Li asked as she let him hug her.


    "It''s just for tonight. And I know you let her hold Jasmine when I''m not around. I really have to give you a gift for your boldness." Fu Hua said with his gaze on her.


    Before Jia Li could protest, his lips covered hers in a kiss.


    ''You didn''t tell me you were starting already!'' Jia Li med him in her mind.

 Chapter 327 - Jasmine Spends The Night With Her Grandparents

    <h4>Chapter 327 - Jasmine Spends The Night With Her Grandparents</h4>


    That night, Fu Hua loved Jia Li till she became exhausted. He was still in need of more even after he pulled out of her. He didn''t mind her sweat and kept kissing her face, her neck, and her naked body.


    "You still want more?." Jia Li asked as she breathed heavily with a loving gaze.


    "I want more, but I will stop for today. This is our first s*x in 3 months, and you just gave birth, I should take it easy with you." Fu Hua replied as he nibbled on her neck.


    "I''m thinking if I should take something to keep up with your strength." Jia Li said as she ced her hand on his shoulder.


    "No need to. With time, you will be able to keep up. You don''t need to take anything, we only have to be practical so you can learn faster." Fu Hua replied and leaned his face closer and kissed her lips as his fingers moved to her breast to touch them.


    He didn''t dare to squeeze her breast so that his daughter''s food and his dessert wouldn''t waste.


    "We have to go for a bath or I can''t promise that I won''t jump on you." Fu Hua said as he released her lips and gazed at her affectionately before moving his hands to her water-fall ck-ink silky long hair.


    "I want to eat first, I''m very hungry and tired, I don''t think I will be able to move a muscle." Jia Liined with a pout.


    Fu Hua loved her when she acted like a child. He smiled and nted a kiss on her forehead.


    "I will help you wash up, and I promise not to do any other thing." Fu Hua said as he helped her up the bed.


    Jia Li frowned when her long hair stuck to her sweaty back. She reached out her hand to touch it and tried to move it out of the way.


    Fu Hua didn''t let her struggle. He pulled open the drawer on the nightstand and took out a band to hold her hair in it.


    He was so good with wrapping her hair with a hairband because he has been doing it for a long time.


    Fu Hua being satisfied with the hair he packed, smiled and pulled her to stand to her feet. "We are ready to go now."


    Together, they picked up their clothes and walked into the inner room to have a bath.


    Fu Hua set the hot water bath and helped Jia Li to sit in there. He came back to the room naked, to carry some fruits back to the bathroom. His wifeined that she was very hungry, so he was going to let her eat something while he washed her body.


    "Thank you!." Jia Li said with a smile as she took the te of fruits from him.


    Their bath took almost an hour, because they ate, chatted, yed, and washed their bodies before going on to dress up.


    Coming back to the bedroom, they ate somete-night snacks.


    "I can imagine how hungry I will be in the middle of the night." Jia Li said with her mouth full of food.


    Fu Hua smiled at her cute face and raised his fingers to touch them. "You''re so cute."


    "I know, and that''s the reason your daughter is cute as well." Jia Li said with a brightened facial expression.


    Fu Hua chuckled and said to her, "Sure. You''re getting more beautiful by the day."


    "And that''s because you are taking good care of me." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    Fu Hua liked all her responses and leaned in to kiss her cheeks.


    "I can imagine Jasmine disturbing her grandparents. I feel like going to bring her back." Jia Li said with a sigh.


    "If you still have the strength to deal with our princess several times in the middle of the, why don''t we do something more productive?." Fu Hua suggested as he slipped his hands inside her clothing.


    "Who says I''m not tired? I am going to sleep right away." Jia Li said as she got up ad went straight to the bed toy down.


    Fu Hua smiled at her actions and joined her some minutester after tidying up the remains of theirte-night snacks.


    The next morning, After Jia Li woke up, she asked Fu Hua to go and bring their daughter while she went to wash up.


    When Jia Li came out of their bathroom, she saw Fu Hua sitting on the bed and Jasmine was nowhere to be seen.


    "Where is my baby?." Jia Li asked with a creased brow.


    "Her grandparents are pretending not to hear my knocks. I didn''t dare to knock louder for fear that I may be disturbing our baby''s sleep." Fu Hua said with a frown.


    Jia Li found sense in what he said. Even if Fu Hee didn''t hear the gentle knocks, Fu Lei should have heard them.


    "It''s okay, let them hold their granddaughter for a while more. Go and take a shower, so we can go for breakfast." Jia Li said to him with a smile.


    Fu Hua was annoyed with his parent''s actions, but he didn''t really me them, as they wanted to spend some time with the little girl.


    When Fu Hua went to have his bath, 2 servants came to take some of Jasmine''s things as per Fu Hee''s instructions.


    Jia Li happily gave out the bath stuff and change of clothes for Jasmine.


    When she came to take some of her bath stuff in the bathroom, Fu Hua was still having his bath. She didn''t look his way and disappeared before he could say anything to her.


    Jia Li carried those things outside the room door and gave them to the servants before going back in to bring the remaining stuff.


    When she went into the walk-in closet to he Jasmine''s clothes, she saw Fu Hua with a towel wrapped around his waist.


    Fu Hua saw her taking Jasmine''s stuff and asked where she was taking them to.


    "Mother wants to bath her. Dress up, so we can go and eat." Jia Li replied and picked the stuff quickly before leaving.


    She left in a hurry so Fu Hua wouldn''t have the time to reject that idea.

 Chapter 328 - Fighting For His Daughter

    <h4>Chapter 328 - Fighting For His Daughter</h4>


    In the dining, the immediate family members gathered around for breakfast.


    Jasmine wasying in her trolley which was in-between her grandparents. She was lying there as her eyes were fixed on the table of dishes. The little girl was amazed by what she was seeing.


    Fu Hua kept ncing at her side. He really wanted to go over and carry her but Jia Li nudged his arm as a sign to behave.


    When Grandfather Fu came over and sat down, his eyes nced around at everyone. He was about to ask for his great-grandchild when he saw her trolley.


    "Bring Da Xia to my side." The old man instructed.


    Fu Lei and Fu Hee were disappointed as they couldn''t keep their grandchild by their side.


    Grandfather Fu smiled brightly after the little girl''s trolley was pushed to his side. Now, Jasmine was in between her mother and great-grandfather.


    FangSu nced at the little girl that had her small eyes on the food. This was her first time seeing her brother''s child in a clear view. The little girl was cute and that was a fact she couldn''t deny but she refused to ept it.


    "Da Xia seems to be fascinated by adult food." Fu ChunHua said from the side with a smile.


    "Too bad she is too young to taste them." Fu Meixu said with a smiling gaze directed at the little one that was moving her hands and feet about.


    "Da Xia, hold on for a bit. You just need a little more time to start eating these." Grandfather Fu said with a smile.


    Jasmine brought her fists to her mouth as she nced at the old man who was facing her with a smile. She returned a smile and cooed in her cute voice.


    "Good...Good!" Grandfather Fu said with a smile.


    Everyone in the dining room was having baby fever already except for FangSu. Fu Hua was annoyed actually. He hasn''t held his daughter or given the daily morning kiss to her yet and the people in authority were after her.


    "Eat." Jia Li whispered to him as she put some side dishes on his te.


    Sometime into the breakfast, Fu Hua got up and went to carry his daughter and came back to sit and nobody said a word to him. They have all been watching that scowl that has been sitting on his face since. And now that he had his daughter in his arms, they were not surprised.


    Jasmine was quiet in her father''s arms. Her eyes were on the food he was eating. Whenever he picked up the food with his fork her gaze would follow the food up to his mouth.


    Fu Hua noticed it and lifted her so she could stand on his thighs, then he proceeded to kiss her cheeks.


    "Do you want some?" He asked with a wink.


    Jasmine nced at the movement of his mouth, as he still had the food in his mouth, then she reached out with her hands for her father''s mouth.


    Her little actions, caused everyone to chuckle heartily and obviously except for FangSu.


    "Oh my! She really wants to eat adult food." Fu Juan said with a hearty smile.


    "Da Xia is just a month old and she is acting like an adult already." Fu ChunHua said.


    "Of course, my granddaughter is smart." Fu Hee said with a proud smile.


    Fu Lei and Fu Geming chuckled.


    "Our Fu family''s genes are very strong." The old man said with his gaze on the little girl whose eyes widened when she heard their chuckle.


    Fu YingPei and Fu Ling had smiles on their faces as they chipped in a few words.


    Jia Li smiled brightly as reached out to touch the little girl''s hand.


    Breakfast ended very well for all except one.


    Fu Hua nned to leave with his family this very day but Grandfather Fu convinced him to stay till the next day.


    Later, Fu Hua regretted his actions because everyone was fighting for who would carry his daughter.


    When the old man went to the study, he took the little girl with him. As Fu YingPei didn''t report to work today, he was dragging the little bun with his parents.


    Fu Hua saw this and said in an annoyed tone, "We are leaving immediately after breakfast tomorrow."


    "Why are you so worked up? Your daughter belongs to you, they only want to spend time with her because they know we would be leaving tomorrow." Jia Li said to him.


    Throughout that day, Jasmine was fed from the bottle since everyone wanted to hold her.


    At night, Fu Hee and Fu Ling took the little girl again without waiting for their son''s permission.


    Fu Hua didn''t say anything, as this was another opportunity to spend time with his wife without being interrupted.


    Jia Li did her best to satisfy his sexual desires. She also went on to sit on him when he was lying naked with his back against the bed. She ground him and went on to pleasure him with her hands.


    Fu Hua had a satisfying night. When they finished showering, theyid on the new sheets naked as they hugged their naked bodies.


    In the morning, Fu Hua''s little brother was already standing at its might.


    Fu Hua rubbed himself against Jia Li''s bottom as he kissed her neck, shoulders while moving his hands all over her body.


    Jia Li woke up with a moan. She could feel her husband''s hands roaming all over her body, including down there. She could also feel his member stroking her behind. She let out a soft moan as she too became aroused.


    Jia Li let Fu Hua work his way with his lips and hands on her body. This time around, Fu Hua was not afraid of her breastmilk wasting because he was ready to drink it all.


    As the hot kisses rained on her, her body got hotter and she felt herher region twitch in a little pain of pleasure.


    Knowing they didn''t have enough time, Fu Hua touched and kissed her a few more times before sliding into her from behind.


    Since theyid sideways, with Jia Li''s back against him, Fu Hua put his hand forward as he touched her clits while kissing her neck and body.


    Fu Hua was doing 3 things at the same time and it was enough to drive Jia Li crazy.


    After the first round, Fu Hua slid out of her as they both rested in each other embrace for a while, before going to the bathroom to take a shower.

 Chapter 329 - FangSu Meets Bai Jun At The Shopping Mall

    <h4>Chapter 329 - FangSu Meets Bai Jun At The Shopping Mall</h4>


    After breakfast, Fu Hua, Jia Li, and the little bun left the Fu Mansion back to their house.


    Ocean and the puppies were outside when they arrived. They all ran towards Jia Li.


    Jia Li was all smiles when she saw her pets. She squat and rubbed their belly and heads.


    "Did you miss me?." Jia Li asked with a smile.


    Ocean barked and circled her. The puppies really wanted to jump into Jia Li''s arms, but when Fu Hua attracted their attention, and they saw the smirk on his lips as he came to their side with Jasmine in his arms, they backed out.


    It looks like they were still scared of Fu Hua.


    After weing them, their trainer came to take them inside their big kennel, while Jia Li and Fu Hua went into the house.


    Fu Hua and Jia Li had to travel to her hometown the next day, as they wanted to do that quickly, so none of them thought about work, as they spent enough time with each other before packing their clothes at night.


    The next day, they left in a private jet to visit Jia Li''s parents in her hometown. Since they didn''t n to spend a lot of time there, as Jia Li did not want to encounter her Aunt, they lodged in the Fu Mansion over there.


    The next day after they arrived, they had breakfast before leaving for the graveyard in two cars.


    This time around, Jia Li only cried tears of joy when she showed off Jasmine to her parents. Fu Hua didn''t leave her alone and stayed with her will the end.


    They two put down the bouquet ???? of flowers they purchased in front of Mr. and Mrs. Qin''s gravestone.


    "Mum, Dad, this is your grandchild, Da Xia. She is a month old, and you can see that she resembles me greatly. Her father and I love her so much, and I know you do..."


    Fu Hua allowed Jia Li to speak all she had in mind, while he held their daughter with an umbre ?? in the other hand.


    Jasmine who was in her father''s arms nced around disinterestedly with her pacifier in her mouth. She nced at her mother and followed her gaze to the gravestone before looking away. She found her fingers interesting and she decided to y with them.


    When Jia Li was done talking, she sighed in relief and turned to face Jasmine.


    "Jasmine?." Jia Li called out with a smile as she touched the little girl''s hands.


    Jasmine nced at her, and Jia Li said, "Say goodbye to your grandparents, we wille to see them again, next year."


    Jasmine did not understand her, and that was a given. Fu Hua smiled as he put the umbre down, and raised her right hand to wave.


    "Good girl!." Jia Li and Fu Hua chorused with a smile.


    Jasmine smiled at them and went back to ying with her fingers.


    "I like how quiet this ce is, I feel like taking a stroll." Jia Li said with a smile as they walked away.


    "If you want to, we can." Fu Hua said to her with an encouraging smile.


    "Next time. I just want to go back to our home." Jia Li replied.


    "Then we will go back this minute." Fu Hua said in agreement.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua arrived back at their housete in the evening. Jasmine was fast asleep when they arrived.


    After dinner, Jia Li and Fu Hua hugged each other to sleep.


    During the weekend, FangSu who was still not able to reach Bai Jun for 2 days now, decided to go shopping to relieve her mental stress.


    She didn''t have a job, and she had almost finished squandering the physical money she had.


    Walking around the branded store in search of a perfect dress for clubbing, shees face to face with Bai Jun who was happily shopping with another girl.


    FangSu was angry and jealous as she watched them interact like they have known each other for a long time.


    Fu Hua gritted her teeth and walked towards them. She couldn''t believe that the person she has been trying to reach, was out here shopping happily with someone she didn''t know about.


    "Bai Jun!." FangSu called out angrily as she walked towards them.


    Bai Jun and her friend turned to nce in her direction. Bai Jun was quite surprised to see her there, but she quickly gathered her wits and asked her friend to wait for her somewhere else why she talked with FangSu.


    The youngdy recognized FangSu but chose to listen to Bai Jun.


    "Bai Jun is this how you treat your best friend?!." FangSu asked angrily as she stood in front of her.


    "You are shouting!." Bai Jun said with a frown as she looked around and saw that the attention was on them.


    "Who cares?!." FangSu asked.


    "If you don''t care about your reputation, I care about mine!." Bai Jun said as she took her hand and walked away towards the restroom


    When they got in there, Bai Jun locked the door and turned to nce at the furious FangSu.


    "Why did you bring me here?!." She asked angrily.


    "Everyone was staring at us because of your loud tone." Bai Jun replied with a smile.


    "Is that your problem right now? You have been ignoring my calls and texts, and you do things without telling me, do you still consider my feelings at all?!." FangSu asked with a finger pointing at her.


    Bai Jun was no longer disturbed like when she saw her earlier. She already knew how to settle the problem.


    "I know you are angry, but I had no choice. I had to ignore you for my good, I don''t want any more problems. " Bai Jun said in a troubled tone.


    FangSu put her hands on her waist and asked with a frown, "Why are you avoiding me deliberately, did my family threaten you?."


    Bai Jun seemed to be in a dilemma now as her facial expressions changed to that of the person that was bullied.


    Seeing the change in her facial expression, and how quiet she was, FangSu became angry and asked as she felt her premonition was right.


    "Did my family really threaten you?! Who did that, tell me, don''t hide anything from me now that I? know the truth!.." FangSu said while staring into her eyes.

 Chapter 330 - The Evidence

    <h4>Chapter 330 - The Evidence</h4>


    FangSu was so angry when she found out that her mother went to the Bai Mansion to warn them. Bai Jun spoke in a way that will bring pity for her.


    She made it seem like she had to act that way because of Fu Hee.


    "... I don''t want troubles, I will be in trouble if I''m seen with you. Please go back home when you''re done shopping." Bai Jun said as she wiped a fake tear from the corner of her eyes.


    FangSu was more furious than ever. She couldn''t believe her mother was already following in the footsteps of her family and treated her best friend that way because of the woman that snatched her brother from her and her best friend.


    "Bai Jun I''m so sorry for ring up when I didn''t know what happened. I''m sorry for all you went through, but you can''t end our friendship because of this. I will try to put an end to this matter, but please you have to stop avoiding me." FangSu said in a guilty tone.


    Bai Jun smiled inwardly and, but revealed a helpless expression. She held FangSu''s hands and said to her, "It''s not your fault that your family doesn''t want us to remain friends, stop apologizing."


    FangSu felt pained when she was reminded that her family was responsible for everything. She squeezed Bai Jun''s hands and promised to do something about the matter.


    "... please answer my calls from now on," FangSu said to her.


    "I can''t do that. If anyone in my family finds out about this, my grandmother and father won''t spare me." Bai Jun pleaded with a scared tone.


    FangSu shut her eyes and opened them again. She heaved a sigh before saying to her, "At least reply to my texts, and we can chat. I have to leave now, I will talk to youter."


    After FangSu left, Bai Jun let out a chuckle. Sheughed till she was tired, then she nced at herself in the mirror and wiped the fake tears from her eyes.


    "Things would be more fun if there is an internal fight in the Fu family, then no one will pay attention to me." Bai Jun said to herself in the mirror.


    She didn''t feel sad that she just toiled with her best friend''s emotions. She was d because she felt that the Fu family had hurt her a lot, so it wouldn''t be bad if there was a little problem after a few days of celebration.


    Bai Jun didn''t care that she left someone behind, she took her time before walking away.


    Going back to the mall, she gave a fake smile to her supposed friend and left after saying a few words to her.


    FangSu had no idea that Bai Jun saw her before she did, and pretended to be good friends with thedy that greeted her when she walked into the mall.


    FangSu waspletely fooled by her.


    When FangSu got home, she was happy to know her mother was in her bedroom, and her father had just stepped out. She quickly made her way to their bedroom to confront her mother.


    Fu Hee was surprised when FangSu walked into her bedroom without the simplest courtesy of knocking on the door.


    "Have you lost your manners?." Fu Hee asked with a frown.


    "Of course I have lost my manners! Do you expect me to still keep them after finding out you went to the Bai family to warn them against interacting with me?!." FangSu asked angrily. She was so furious that she didn''t care about the tone she was using on her mother.


    "I see! Who did you meet today, Bai Jun or Bai Fen?." Fu Hee asked in a rxed tone as she continued to sit there with a magazine in her hand.


    "So it''s true? Mum, why did you do that?! Why do you want me to cut of thighs with my best friend, why are you doing this to me?!." FangSu asked in an angry tone as her eyes became teary.


    "Seeing how angry you are, I guess that whoever you met, must not have told you the truth. Don''t you want to know the full details of what happened that day?!." Fu Hee asked in a carefree tone.


    "Why should I listen to you! I don''t trust you anymore! I won''t listen to you tarnish my friend''s name so you can make me stay away from her, it won''t happen!." FangSu said with a fierce gaze.


    Even if everyone in the family betrayed her, her mother was thest person she thought would ever do something like that, but it looks like she was wrong. Her mother clearly does not care about her anymore.


    "When did I say I was going to exin anything to you? I didn''t say that." Fu Hee said with a calm gaze on her.


    Bai Jun was a little taken aback. She remembered that her mother didn''t say anything like that, but it was normal for her to think she wanted to exin the encounter that day.


    "If you are not exining, how do you want to show me what happened that day?!." FangSu demanded as she gestured with her hands. Her tone was still as heavy as earlier.


    Fu Hee smiled and waved her phone ????. "Whoever that lied to you, did not know that I recorded everything that happened that day if not, they would not have dared to lie to you. Later you have to tell me who that person is, so I can thank her for giving me the perfect opportunity to show you this."


    "You recorded?." FangSu asked with a confused facial expression.


    "Of course I did. I wanted to keep a piece of evidence to prove to you that you made a huge mistake by trusting Bai Jun and making her your friend." Fu Hee said to her.


    FangSu shook her head and said, "I still don''t believe a word you say till I see your evidence."


    "Fine! I know you will only learn when you don''t have any other option, so I had to keep this and wait for the right opportunity, and who knew the Bai family would present an opportunity for me. I will let you listen to our conversation that day!" Fu Hee said and searched her phone for the recording she took that day.. When she found it, she smiled and yed it after increasing the volume of her phone.

 Chapter 331 - Jia Li Tries On The Dress

    <h4>Chapter 331 - Jia Li Tries On The Dress</h4>


    FangSu couldn''t describe what other feelings she was feeling apart from the feelings of betrayal and hurt.


    When she heard Bai Jun putting all the me on her, she felt bad that her friend pushed everything to her just to escape. She knew if she was in her shoes, she would never have done that, no matter what trouble she would be in.


    Now going down to Mrs. Bai Fen''s words, FangSu broke down. She sat on her mother''s bed in silence.


    After the recording ended, Fu Hee put her phone away and said, "FangSu, I have already warned you several times about the Bai family, but you wouldn''t listen. Did you hear what your friend and her mother said? They don''t care if you''re in danger, they are only using you for their benefits. How can someone that loves you, put you in danger continuously?"


    FangSu was quiet as she squeezed her palms with her gaze down. Her heart and mind were in turmoil. She felt betrayed after learning the true face of her best friend.


    Fu Hee sighed and got up and walked towards her. cing her hand on her shoulder, she said, "I know this is a lot for you to take in, but you can take your time. If you don''t believe this totally, you can y little tricks so you can see the real face of Bai Jun and her mother. You went all out for them, but they never cared. How could they allow you to go against your family if they cared about you? FangSu, start using your head now."


    What she just listened to, was very different from what Bai Jun told her at the mall.


    ''How long has she been lying to me?''


    As different thoughts were going through her head, she refused to ept them because she was scared of reality. She didn''t want to believe that her years of friendship would easilye to an end.


    FangSu decided to listen to her mother and continue acting like she was on good terms with Bai Jun, so she could find out the truth by herself.


    During dinner, FangSu was not in a good mood as the affairs from the afternoon were still hunting her. She couldn''t eat like before, and only Fu Hee knew what her problem was.


    "Why are you not eating?." Fu Lei asked with a frown.


    FangSu came back to her senses and replied as she picked up her fork and began to eat. "Nothing."


    "Let her be. After finding out that she was betrayed, it''s normal to feel sad." Fu Hee said.


    "Betrayed? Who betrayed her?." Fu ChuHua asked with an inquisitive gaze.


    "This is not the right time to talk about it." Fu Hee replied.


    Fu ChuHua was curious about what Fu Hee''s words meant. Fu Meixu was absent, as she went for the ads shoot that was postponed when she fought with Zhi Ruo. If she was around, it would have been very easy for her to dissect Fu Hee''s words.


    Grandfather Fu nced at FangSu and looked away, He didn''t have any words to say to her.


    Some dayster, Fu Huapleted Jia Li''s dress and he asked her to put it on, to see if it fit her perfectly.


    "Wow! the dress is beautiful!." Jia Li said when the blindfold was removed from her eyes.


    Looking at the beautiful dress that was sitting on the mannequin, Jia Li was in awe. The dress was so beautiful, and the highlight of the gemstones, made it look even more morous.


    Jia Li had seen Fu Hua working on the dress, but when he got to half of the dress, he didn''t allow her to see what she was working on. She didn''t bother since he wouldn''t let her. She was patiently waiting for him to finish the dress so she could see it, and now seeing the beautiful dress, Jia Li agreed that it was worth the weight.


    "Take off your clothes, so you can try it." Fu Hua said to her.


    "Are sure the dress would fit me? You know, put on a little weight." Jia Li asked with a smile.


    "We will know when you have tried the dress." Fu Hua replied.


    "Okay, I will try it on." Jia Li said in agreement and began to take off her clothes. She was probably too excited to bother about going half-naked in front of him.


    Left in only her nursing bra and panties, she nced at Fu Hua with a smile, "I''m ready."


    Fu Hua looked her up and down and said with a smirk, "No you''re not. You have to take off your nursing bra."


    "Why?!." Jia Li asked with widened eyes. She was surprised.


    Fu Hua asked her to take a good look at the dress again. And when Jia Li nced at the dress, she knew he was right. There was no way she could wear a nursing bra and try on the dress, she would ruin it.


    Jia Li took off her nursing bra, and her chest was bare before him. Fu Hua narrowed his gaze on her breasts and forgot what he wanted to say.


    Jia Li had to flick her fingers in front of his eyes for him toe back to his senses.


    Fu Hua cleared his throat and looked away from her breasts.


    "Come, I will help you to put on the dress." Fu Hua said.


    Because of the style of the dress, Jia Li put on the dress from her legs and stood in ce for Fu Hua to wrap the upper part before tying the bow with ropes of the dress, behind her.


    The dress fit perfectly, but it was a little bit tight in the chest area, so a little of her cleavage was showing.


    The dress was perfect for her, as it was unavoidable for women who were busty to try on that dress style without a little of their cleavage showing.


    Jia Li twirled in the dress as she looked at herself in the mirror with an excited gaze.


    "Do you like the dress?." Fu Hua asked with a smile as he watched her twirl in the dress.


    "I love it! You brought my imagination to reality, and nothing is missing at all. This dress would cost a lot because of the gemstones." Jia Li said as she stopped to gaze at him with a smile.


    "Of course, it costs a lot. I used a lot of stones. Are you ready to make some money?." Fu Hua asked with his hands in his trouser pockets.. There was a big smile on his face as he asked that question.

 Chapter 332 - I Didnt Lose You To Other People

    <h4>Chapter 332 - I Didn''t Lose You To Other People</h4>


    Hearing that she was going to make some money, Jia Li''s eyes glistened. "Of course, I''m ready to make some money! I have a daughter to take care of, so I need to make some money!."


    Fu Hua chuckled softly and said to her, "You have a lot of money in your ount, and I pay you monthly, is it not enough?."


    "I want the money I worked for, that''s the difference." Jia Li said.


    "You''re right, there is a big difference." Fu Hua said as he walked towards his desk.


    He opened a big folder and brought out a stack of documents and put it on his desk. Next, he ced a fountain pen ?????? beside the document and turned to say to her with a smile, "Sweetheart,e and sign the contract."


    "You already prepared a contract?." Jia Li said with a smile as she walked towards him in a hurry.


    "Yes. I prepared it when I was about to finish the dress. If you don''t trust me, you can go through the contract to see the contents before you sign." Fu Hua replied as he made way for her.


    Jia Li picked up the contract and said while staring at him with a teasing gaze, "You know I trust you right? But business is different."


    "I see..." Fu Hua said with a smirk. He found Jia Li funny as she talked about separating family from business.


    "Don''t mind, I was only joking. I trust you so much with my life. Where should I sign?." Jia Li asked as she passed the contact back to him.


    Fu Hua put the contract on his desk and flipped over the pages as he showed her the ces to sign.


    When Jia Li was signing, she could already see Fu Hua''s signature on the contract. This showed that he has been ready ever since.


    "Okay, it''s time to take off this dress." Jia Li said to him.


    Fu Hua loosened the bow tie and set her free from the dress. Jia Li quickly out on her nursing her bra and wore back her dress.


    "I n to make on 7 pieces of this dress because of how expensive it is. You already have one, so it''s remaining 6 pieces of it, which would be made by the creative department." Fu Hua revealed to her.


    "Wow! I can''t believe this. You are making my dress something worth fighting for!." Jia Li screamed in excitement. She could already imagine how the wealthy would fight to get a piece of the morous dress that was limited in the collection.


    "Of course. The gemstones are already expensive, so we have to limit the number of pieces we produce, and this is an added advantage, which means a piece of the dress, would be sold for a lot." Fu Hua said to her.


    "Thank you!." Jia Li said as she hugged him.


    "What are you thanking me for? I should be the one grateful that I didn''t lose you to other people." Fu Hua said as he hugged her back.


    The next day, Fu Hua went to his office with the contract Jia Li signed, and a scanned copy of the design she sketched.


    "Give it to sunny. I want this added to the next connection, the production should start today." Fu Hua instructed as he passed the design draft to Zimo.


    Zimo nced at the sketch and was pleased. Thinking that his Boss was the one that sketched it, he began to praise him.


    Fu Hua sent him a re and said, "Why are you still here?."


    Zimo left immediately in fright. He didn''t understand why his Boss scolded him when he was only praising him.


    Zimo went straight to the creative department to look for the chief designer, Sunny.


    As the Big Boss''s personal assistant, Zimo was shown respect by most of the workers, so most of the workers would greet him if they passed him.


    Zimo went straight to Sunny''s office. They exchanged a simple greeting before he passed the design draft to her.


    "Boss wants this added to the next collection. He wants the production to begin today."


    Sunny nced at the design draft and studied the sketch. Immediately she saw the initials beside the sketch, her eyes widened in surprise.


    "Does the Boss have a personal rtionship with this designer JL?." Sunny asked as she looked up at Zimo with a curious gaze.


    Zimo was taken aback as he asked, "Sorry, what do you mean?."


    "The Big Boss seems not to mind that JL refused to sign a contract to work with us for at least a few years, but he chose to sign a contract with her privately on some of her designs, just like this one," Sunny said as she pointed at Jia Li''s initials on the draft.


    Sunny was already starting to be suspicious because Fu Hua was behaving unlike him. He keeps working privately with the person that refused to work exclusively for hispany. The Boss she knew would never do that.


    Zimo leaned over and asked in a low tone, "I don''t know what you''re talking about. But, what do you think is the rtionship between them?." Zimo probed.


    "I don''t know, but they seem to interact closely. For Boss to bring this design here, it''s proof that he has already signed a contract with Miss Jia Li. I will have to ask Boss topel Miss Jia Li to work exclusively with us." Sunny said with a pen on her lips.


    Zimo sighed in relief. He was afraid Sunny would guess the rtionship between their Boss and thedy boss.


    "Don''t think too much. It won''t be surprising if Boss admires her talent and respects her choice. Boss won''t be interested in her since he is married already, and he seems to love his wife and daughter a lot." Zimo said with a smile.


    Sunny narrowed her eyes and asked, "You have seen Mr. Fu''s wife right?."


    "I have stayed longer than I expected, I will have to leave before the Boss would seek for my assistance," Zimo said and vanished immediately.

 Chapter 333 - Another News

    <h4>Chapter 333 - Another News</h4>


    When Fu Hua returned from work, Jia Li asked him to go freshen up before he eats the food she prepared for him.


    Hearing that his wife cooked for him. Fu Hua quickly gave a kiss to Jasmine before hurrying away.


    Jia Li smiled as she watched his back. Gazing back at the little one in her arms, she said to her, "Your dad is in a hurry to eat the food cooked by me. I guess he has missed it."


    It has really been a long time since Fu Hua ate the food Jia Li made. And knowing how much he liked her food, Jia Li decided to cook up a mountain of dishes for him.


    Jia Li understood that money and gifts were not a problem to Fu Hua and he was not moved by them. But the little things which seemed insignificant she did for him, was what he liked best.


    Fu Hua quickly had a shower and got dressed before going downstairs.


    Jia Li and Jasmine were already waiting in the dining room for him.


    Seeing the table of dishes, Fu Hua asked as he went over to his seat, "When did you find time to cook all of these?"


    "Sit down and eat before the food gets cold. My job was to cook the food while the servants helped to get everything read. It''s not possible to have done the whole work when Jasmine is here. She is a little troublesome." Jia Li said with a smile as she pinched the cheeks of the little girl that was babbling.


    "You have worked hard, thank you!" Fu Hua said as he picked up his chopsticks ????. He started eating from the stir-fried vegetables in front of him.


    Fu Hua chewed on the food and hummed, "I missed this taste."


    Jia Li smiled happily. "Since you like it, then eat up!"


    "You have to eat as well." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li tried to put Jasmine on her stroller which was beside her but the little girl started crying. She wanted her mother to hold her.


    "You, why are you crying now?" Jia Li asked with a smile as she lifted the crying little girl in her arms and immediately, Jasmine stopped crying.


    Fu Hua nced up with a smile. "Jasmine, you have to let your mother eat, she will hold youter."


    Jasmine was not in the mood to listen to her parents. She wanted her mother to hold her and that''s it!


    Jia Li had no choice but to hold her in her arms and eat with one hand.


    Jasmine smacked her lips when she saw the food that was going into her mother''s mouth.


    "This is the reason I wanted to put you down but you don''t want it." Jia Li said with a smiling gaze.


    "We don''t have to worry about her eating adult food when the timees, she really can''t wait." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    "It''s possible that she might not like the taste. But I will be d if she starts eating other foods earlier. But she looks like she wouldn''t give up on her milk even if she likes other food." Jia Li replied.


    "Let''s take things slowly. Bring her, I will hold her while you eat." Fu Hua suggested. He wanted his little wife to eatfortably.


    Jia Li smiled and rejected him, "Don''t worry, I''m fine. I am already used to it."


    Finally, Jasmine looked away from her mother. Her interest was now on her mother''s dress. The design seemed to catch her eyes, so she was staring at it.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua sighed in relief after they finished eating in peace. Fu Hua took the little girl and went to y with her, while Jia Li went to get some rest.


    When Jasmine slept off, Fu Hua carried her to Jia Li''s bedroom andid her in her cot, before going to the study to do some work.


    FJ would beunching another collection that involved a few dresses, travel bags, and handbags. He needed to get his proposal ready for the Competition he has in mind.


    3 weekster, FJunched a new line of travel bags and handbags, along with a few dresses. What sparked the reactions of everyone, was the limited number of dresses Jia Li''s work had. There were only 7 pieces of it and it was very expensive.


    Knowing the price, people that have seen the dress said it was worth it, given how many gemstones that were spent on the dresses.


    Another news that caused an uproar was that the CEO of FJ liked the dress so much that he got one for his wife.


    Now, everyone wanted to see a picture of The Hidden Wife in the dress. They had no idea of Jia Li''s identity, what she looked like and her figure, so they were very curious.


    On the same day the new collections were released, FJ announced in a statement that Jia Li''s dress has all been sold out, as different calibers of people, ced an order for the dress immediately it was unveiled.


    One foreign celebrity got the dress for the uing met G. A Politician''s daughter bought the dress to celebrate her birthday party. A bride got the dress for her wedding reception. A popr singer got the dress and wore it for the show she was invited to. It was said that one royal family, got the dress and thest one was taken by an Indian actress.


    As the dresses were in different colors, it was easy for FJ to see the dresses sold out quickly. This was a strategy given by Fu Hua.


    He instructed the creative Arts department to make the 6 dresses in different colors and Sunny went on to choose the different colors for the dresses.


    Each dress had a different color and a different color of gemstones. The dresses were very beautiful, and when Jia Li saw the pictures of them, she agreed that she was talented and FJ knew how to market her talent.


    "It wouldn''t be bad partnering with them.." Jia Li said with a smile.

 Chapter 334 - Bai Juns Trick

    <h4>Chapter 334 - Bai Jun''s Trick</h4>


    Jia Li invested 70% of all the money she had, and she did that through Fu Hua. He helped her to buy some shares and stocks.


    Jia Li gave out 20% of her money to charity, and the remaining 10% she left for herself.


    This was the first time Jia Li was taken a bold step in her financial life, and Fu Hua was proud of her.


    "You are really smart." Fu Hua said as he pinched her cheeks.


    "Of course I am. As time goes by, I will increase the percentage for my the charity." Jia Li said with a hearty smile


    "Since I am teaching you properly, what can you give to me?." Fu Hua asked.


    "I will cook lunch and send it to your office for 7 days, his does that sound?." Jia Li asked with a wink.


    Fu Hua agreed immediately. "Deal."


    Jia Li kept her promise sent lunch to Fu Hua for 7 days. He was very busy and knowing how serious he was with work, he wouldn''t mind skipping lunch just to get his work done.


    Jia Li didn''t know what new project Fu Hua was working on that was taking his time, but she did her best to keep to her promise, and hopefully, it was enough tost his busy periods.


    A weekter, FJ announced the designer behind the ''Dream'' dresses that were sold off within q few hours.


    Jia Li came to the limelight again. And everyone was requesting an interview. Many people were curious as to the reason Jia Li has not joined FJ yet, but her designs were still being used.


    Fu Hua released a statement first. He said that Ji Li was already working with FJ, but would join them in full swing, soon.


    FJ followed their Boss''s footsteps and released a statement towards that. Jia Li only said something when Fu Hua gave her the sign to.


    Jia Li posted on her social media handles that she would join FJ soon, as she was looking for the right opportunity to do so.


    Many people interested in her affairs were curious about the right opportunity she was talking about, but Jia Li never mentioned it. She only said they would find out soon.


    Because of that media attention, some people were jealous of Jia Li''s sess, and it was normal. Someone like Bai Jun was seething in rage when she saw the news about Jia Li being the designer behind the dresses she liked.


    She was thinking of getting into FJ quickly, so she can find out who that designer was and ask her to mentor her, but who knew it was Jia Li, her enemy.


    "Brother Hua is deceiving the public, and this is so unfair!." Bai Jun said with gritted teeth.


    "It''s possible that Fu Hua designed the dress himself and only used the news to create a hype around that girl, so she could easily get into FJ." Bai Fen said in a restless tone.


    "Brother Hua can do anything. I hate that bitch! She already had brother Hua wrapped around her fingers." Bai Jun said in an angry tone.


    "Don''t worry too much, I will look for more credible teachers for you, you have to shit your eyes from the media and concentrate on improving yourself." Bai Fen advised.


    "It''s so hard to do that especially when Brother Hua is always acting this way! Ah! I''m so angry!." Bai Jun said as she kicked her feet.


    Bai Fen sighed and said to her, "Whenst did you speak to FangSu?."


    "A few days ago. I''m sure she fought with her mother thest time I saw her, and she gave a hint about it. She must still be feeling guilty about the lies I told her, so she didn''t tell me directly, so I can continue to have faith in her. My ns worked." Bai Jun said happily.


    "Good. You have to contact her once in a while, but when she does, don''t answer her immediately. Dy, and when sheins you remind her of her mother visiting to warn us to stay away from her." Bai Fen said in a low tone.


    "I will do just that. I have to call her now, because I have something to say to her," Bai Jun said with a smile as she picked up her phone.


    "What do you want to say to her?." Bai Fen asked in a curious tone.


    "You will see." Bai Jun said wifi with a proud smile.


    When FangSu saw Bau Jun''s call, she hesitated for a few moments before epting it.


    After exchanging greetings just like before, Bai Jun changed her tone to that of a sad one as she said to her, "FangSu, have you seen the news?."


    "Which news?." FangSu asked in a confused tone.


    One statement from Bai Jun about the news and FangSu already knows the reason she was calling. She sneered and pretended not to know about it.


    "Don''t tell me you haven''t seen the news about your brother revealing that girl as the designer behind those dresses." Bai Jun said wide-eyed.


    "I haven''t checked the news, and I am not in a good mood to check it. I want to be by myself." FangSu replied in a low tone.


    "What happened? why is your mood bad?." Bai Jun asked in a curious tone. She really wanted to know if it was something she would celebrate when she hears it.


    "I just learned that my brother banned me from working in FJ," FangSu said as she cried out.


    "What! What do you mean?!." Bai Jun asked in surprise. She didn''t believe what she just heard.


    "I can not work with FJ until my brother lifts the ban he ced on me. He is taking revenge on me for going against him." FangSu said with a fake cry.


    Bai Jun and her mother exchanged nces. Bai Jun was happy with the news. Now that she has chosen the path she wanted, she wanted to do it to the fullest.


    "Are you sure it''s not Aunty that did it? You said you fought with her thest time after you went home." Bai Jun said in a low tone.


    If it was before, FangSu would have foolishly believed her, but since she knew the truth about that incident, she couldn''t believe Bai Jun would try to lead her to me her mother.

 Chapter 335 - The Attention Seeker

    <h4>Chapter 335 - The Attention Seeker</h4>


    FangSu asked as she tried to make her tone sound surprised, "Are you saying my mum might have told my brother to cklist me because I fought with her?."


    Bai Jun chuckled nervously. "Don''t get me wrong, it''s not like I''m using Aunty. I''m just trying to analyze the situation. You know you shouldn''t have argued with your mum for my sake, it''s not right. It''s possible that your mum might have been angry with you, so she did that."


    Thinking that FangSu would never agree to an apology, Bai Jun added, "Since your brother and mother have a big authority over you, just go and apologize to them, that''s the only way to get into FJ, you just have to listen to everything they tell you."


    FangSu did not disappoint Bai Jun''s expectations by rejecting the idea just like her usual self.


    "I will never apologize to them! They don''t want me to get into FJ? I will, even if it takes me 20 years, I will get in without their help!."


    Bai Jun was thrilled and satisfied with her outburst and response. She knew how prideful her friend was, so she deliberately brought up the matter about apologizing because she knew she was going to act headstrong and refuse.


    Bai Jun wanted FangSu not to get into FJ if possible, so she could n on getting Fu Hua all by herself. If she worked in the same ce as her, it will be difficult to pull some tricks FangSu would never agree to. So losing out on getting into FJ, was Bai Jun''s intention for FangSu.


    Bai Jun smiled more profoundly and said, "It''s okay FangSu, whatever you want to do, just do it, I will forever support you just like you''ve always had my back."


    FangSu had an unbelievable facial expression on her face.


    ''Is this the kind of friendship I signed up for?'' FangSu thought with an ugly look on her face. She couldn''t believe Bai Jun''s ridiculous idea. What kind of friend doesn''t lead their friends to the right path?


    Bai Jun was a first for her.


    FangSu let out a sigh after holding her anger and disappointment since the start of their conversation. She deliberately asked Bai Jun, "Do you still n on getting into FJ?."


    Bai Jun wanted to say, ''Yes, it has always been my dreams,'' but her mother gave her a sign not to say the truth, so Bai Jun paid heed to her.


    "No, not anymore. I n to rx for a bit more and start applying to other big brands, or even open a private store for myself." Bai Jun lied with a smile.


    FangSu didn''t want to stay longer on the phone with her, so she said goodbye.


    After the call ended, Bai Fenshed out at her daughter. "I can''t believe you wanted to spill your ns to her!."


    "Why, what''s bad with that?" Bai Fen asked with a confused gaze.


    "Don''t you know FangSu can get jealous and ruin your ns? Have you forgotten her family will never let you get into FJ if they find out you''re trying to do that?." Bai Fen asked with a frown.


    Bai Jun didn''t look bothered as she replied, "But FangSu is not like that. She has a good heart, and she will never report me to her family."


    "Lies! Don''t you ever underestimate the human mind!. Now tell me, how do you think FangSu would feel when she finds out what we''ve been doing behind her back? She would find it unbelievable, and this is the same way you would feel if she decides to surprise you by getting you cklisted before you can get into FJ." Bai Fen said, bursting her bubbles.


    "But, FangSu doesn''t look like someone like that..." Bai Jun said with a frown. She still refused to believe that her friend can do something like that.


    "Do you think FangSu is a saint? You''d better get your facts straight. Keep to yourself before you ruin the only opportunity you have." Bai Fen advised.


    "Okay mum, I will listen to you." Bai Jun said in agreement. Her goal was important, and she can not let any careless mistake ruin it.


    Unlike Bai Jun, someone out there couldn''t sit still after seeing the trending news about Jia Li and hertest coboration with FJ.


    Knowing Jia Li to be Fu Hua''s wife, Feng Alix was envious and decided to turn the media attention to herself after a long time.


    It has been more than 6 months since she disappeared from the limelight after the scandal. And she was also sure the media would be more than happy to find out where the beloved dress from the Autumn show went to.


    Yeah, that''s right, Feng Alix has the dress the media has been searching for, under her custody. She has been waiting for the right opportunity to turn the media attention to herself, and she has finally gotten the right opportunity.


    That weekend, Feng Alix went on a birthday party with her old male lover where she was sure the media would be present, and just like she nned meticulously, so many eyes were on her because of that dress, and the media snapped away.


    Because of her scandal back in China, not many people talked much with her. But given that she was a big person before she fell, she had her share of connections.


    At the party, Feng Alix asked her partner to take a picture for her as she handed her phone to him. Her partner who could probably pass as a grandfather to her agreed to take the pictures of her.


    With a wealthy man, Feng Alix didn''t mind the age.


    After he was done taking the pictures, Feng Alix acted cute with him and asked him to help her pick the perfect picture to post.


    "This will look good." Her old lover said with a smile while pointing at the second shot he got.


    "Thank you! I will post it now. Once again, thank you for the dress." Feng Alix said in excitement.


    "No need to thank me, I will do anything to make you happy. Go ahead and post the picture, I need to greet my friends.." Her old lover said and pecked her lips before leaving with a smile.

 Chapter 336 - I Love You Forever And Always

    <h4>Chapter 336 - I Love You Forever And Always</h4>


    Feng Alix posted the picture with this caption, ''Thank you, darling, for the dress ?? ''


    After posting without using any tags, Feng Alix smiled satisfactorily before putting her phone away and going in to enjoy the party in full swing.


    That was her first post in a long time, and it was going to trend.


    It didn''t take up to 3 hours before Feng Alix started trending because of her post in FJ''s Autumn collection. There was fire all over the media.


    Everybody was curious as to how Feng Alix managed to get her hands on that dress. Then the caption under her post drew much attention.


    Most people were wondering about the identity of the person that she called, ''darling''. They began to specte if she had a secret lover. And if she had one, who was he? Fu Hua? or some other person?.


    Everyone was going crazy as they all went under Feng Alix''s post toment. Many people were asking different questions like...


    "Where have you been?."


    "Are you dating now?."


    "How did you get that dress?."


    "Are you nning on doing aeback?."


    "Have you reconciled with FJ?


    "Are you good friends with FJ''s Boss?."


    "Are you not ashamed of yourself to wear this dress?."


    Thements and questions were endless, in fact, it was more than the likes she got for that post. The surprising thing was that Feng Alix did not reply to any of them. Instead of doing that, she changed her page from public to private, now anyone that wanted to see her posts must request to follow her.


    This was another strategy by her to get more followers and constant attention from curious people.


    After she set her page to private, the news began to trend.


    Back in China, FJ immediately released a statement as people were questioning them for the dress Feng Alix wore to the private party.


    People asked them how Feng Alix managed to get the dress, if they had settled the past feud between her, and if they nned to wee her back to work for them.


    FJ released a statement saying that they do not have any business with Feng Alix, as they did not sell any of their goods to her.


    This statement made everyone believe that Feng Alix must have gotten the dress through her lover. Most people believed that she was trying to get attention for herself.


    Fu Hua was asked a few questions, but he never responded as he didn''t care. He only directed how FJ should reply to the public after they called them out on social media.


    Fu Hua was at home with his family when that happened. He didn''t want Jia Li to misunderstand, so he quickly exined things to her.


    "Sweetheart, don''t misunderstand me, I have no idea how she got that dress because FJ will not sell anything to her. She is stirring up attention for herself just to be noticed by the media after disappearing from the spotlight for several months."


    Jia Li chuckled softly as she found the situation funny. "Why are you trying so hard to exin when I trust you? I know your ex is seeking attention, and that''s it."


    "I really need to exin to you, after all, you know a little about our history, you should know the kind of person she is, always taking advantage of situations." Fu Hua said and let out a sigh.


    "I know. It''s okay, I trust you. Just let her be. Since she is trying so hard to garner attention for herself, just let her be, after all, it must not have been easy for her. You can pretend that she is not existing." Jia Li said with a smile as she caressed his face with her palms.


    "I will do just that. Also, I want to apologize about my past with her." Fu Hua said as he took Jia Li''s hands in his.


    He stared right into her eyes as he caressed the back of her hands with his two thumbs.


    "Why are you bringing up that past?." Jia Li asked with her gaze on him.


    "Because I feel that I owe you a big apology. I am sorry for having something with her, something I shouldn''t have shared with her. I''m really sorry about that." Fu Hua apologized.


    Jia Li smiled and said to him, "Your past is your past. We didn''t have anything to do with each other at that time, and she was your girlfriend, so it''s okay. Let''s not talk about it."


    Jia Li understood what Fu Hua was talking about. She knew he was apologizing for being intimate with his ex.


    "I didn''t know what love was, and I would have made the biggest mistake if you didn''te into my life. Since you came into my life, I now know that love is." Fu Hua said as he kissed the back of her hands.


    "What do you know about love?." Jia Li asked curiously. She wanted to hear of the opinion he had for the love he had for her.


    "I Just know the love I have for you is like an oxygen pipe. Without your love, I would lose my breath and my existence would cease to exist." Fu Hua confessed.


    Jia Li blushed and quickly removed her hands from his grasp. She covered her face with her palms, and said, "You are cheesy!."


    Fu Hua took her hands away from her face. "I''m only saying how strong your love is, and is influencing my life. I love you, forever and always."


    Jia Li smiled happily. She really liked his cheesy nature most time. Not wanting him to go free like that, she asked, "You are so good with making a woman happy with your words. You are an expert in this."


    "You''re the first and only woman apart from our daughter, I have made to feel good with my words. I never did that with any other person, I didn''t have that interest in the past, and will not in the future." Fu Hua replied.


    "Prove your love for me." Jia Li said in a demanding tone.


    "Anything for you sweetheart!." Fu Hua said in an excited tone before lifting Jia Li in a bridal style.


    "Where are you taking me to?." Jia Li asked as he carried her out of the workshop.


    "I am going to prove my love for you." Fu Hua replied without stopping in his steps. He seemed to be in a hurry instead.


    Jia Li was quiet until they got in front of his bedroom. "You''re going to prove your love for me in the bedroom?." Jia Li asked with an unbelievable expression on her face.


    "Yes. You will love the wonderful experience.." Fu Hua said with a smile as he walked into his bedroom with her in his arms.

 Chapter 337 - Jia Li Shows An Interest

    <h4>Chapter 337 - Jia Li Shows An Interest</h4>


    Fu Hua proved his love to Jia Li till she begged him to stop.


    Lying naked under the sheets, Jia Li said to Fu Hua, "Jasmine has an appointment with her doctor tomorrow morning, after her tummy time. Are youing along?."


    "Why not? I will move my schedule, so I can go with you for our daughter''s checkup." Fu Hua said as he hugged her tightly in his arms.


    The next morning after her tummy time, Jasmine and was bathed and clothed, and throughout that time, the cute little girl babbled and moved her fists and legs about.


    "You look so excited." Jia Li said with a smile as she gently touched her daughter''s cheeks.


    Jasmine smiled at her and babbled with her fingers in her mouth.


    "You are so cute!." Jia Li said as she continued to dress her up.


    "Do you want some milk?." Jia Li asked as she lifted the little girl in her arms. Jasmine babbled as she moved her fists about.


    To the little girl, it feels so good to see her mother. Her sight was a lot better now since she was already 2 months old.


    "Alright, mummy will give you some milk." Jia Li said with a smile as she positioned the little girl in her arms, before going on to breastfeed her.


    Jasmine was more than excited to drink her milk. She even went as far as to move her feet about, with her hand ced on her mother''s breast.


    30 minutester, Jia Li, Fu Hua, and the little girl were already at the hospital to see her pediatrician. Jasmine was getting her immunization shot today after the checkups.


    Fu Hua felt bad for his little princess when she cried out pain due to the shot she got. Jia Li quickly consoled her by speaking gently to her and trying to give her milk directly from her breast in other to soothe her.


    Even with the nipple in her mouth, Jasmine still cried, and would only suck for 2 seconds before crying again.


    Fu Hua rubbed the little girl''s back as he said, "Who dares to hurt my little princess? Jasmine sorry okay, don''t cry anymore."


    The doctor tried to pacify the little girl from the side, but it didn''t work.


    Jia Li had to start singing while rocking her in her arms, and at the same time, trying to breastfeed her.


    A few secondster, Jasmine stopped crying and enjoyed drinking her milk.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua sighed in relief after Jasmine stopped crying. The little girl fell asleep while sucking and had no idea when she got home.


    Fu Hua paid for more drugs for Jasmine since the one they had was almost finished. Throughout that day, Fu Hua pet Jasmine and held her in his arms for a long time.


    Since Fu Hua had an important meeting scheduled with the board of directors the next day which was Monday, he used today to spend a lot of time with his daughter.


    The next day being Monday, Fu Hua brought up his proposal about thepetition to the board of directors for the Executive Committee. His idea for thepetition was very big.


    His vision or motive behind thepetition was to give an opportunity to young talented designers out there, to work with FJ for a given period, and the ones that passed their probation period would receive a 5 years contract.


    This was going to be a first in FJ, and also the first of any kind in the Fashion Designing World, no brand has ever taken this step before.


    "Mr. Fu, how many people are you looking to employ from thispetition?." One of the directors of the Executive Committee asked.


    "At most 20." Fu Hua replied.


    "20 is much, let''s look at 10, after all, this is the first of its kind. We can use thispetition to test waters." Another Executive Committee said.


    "10 it''s little. My idea is that the Top 20 finalists, will get 3 months probation, and after that period, only 10 of them would be given a chance to work with us for 5 years. And as time goes on, we can talk about renewing their contracts." Fu Hua suggested.


    "That sounds like a good idea. We should be expecting a lot of applicants once we announce thepetition and the date for it, at least more than 15,000 applicants from all over the world." Another Executive Committee said.


    "They don''t need to be that much. Once we are done with nning thepetition, we can start promoting it in the media. We can set up a time range for the interested applicants that passed our criteria to join thepetition, to apply." A female Executive member said.


    This matter was deliberated on for a while before Fu Hua dismissed them. He asked them to n very well and show him what they''ve got after a week interval. He still needed to talk with the board of directors and big Investors about it, so that funds for thepetition, can be set up as well.


    When Fu Hua got back home, he told Jia Li about thepetition and the little details that were discussed in the meeting, but who knew that Jia Li would pick an interest in thepetition.


    From the details she got from him, she could tell how tough, challenging, interesting, and fun thepetition would be.


    "When will FJ be done with finalizing thepetition? When do you think thepetition will start?." Jia Li asked in a curious tone as her eyes shone brightly.


    "We will start the publicity around ending of this month. As for thepetition, two months from now, it''s a good time to hold it. It may take up to a month for the different stages in thepetition to end" Fu Hua replied. It was only when he finished answering her questions that he saw her eyes twinkling.


    He was taken aback as he asked with a narrowed gaze, "Why do you look excited, don''t tell me you want to join thispetition?."


    "Your guess it''s right, I will join thispetition.." Jia Li replied in an excited tone.

 Chapter 338 - The Fight (I)

    <h4>Chapter 338 - The Fight (I)</h4>


    "What! why?" Fu Hua asked with a surprised gaze. He never thought that she would be interested in that kind of toughpetition where probably the best of them all willpete to get into FJ.


    He had already prepared to get her into FJ without stress and he was waiting for her to be ready and for Jasmine to get a little older, where she can cope a little without her mother''s presence all the time.


    "Thispetition is going to be tough but it will help to unlock more hidden potential that I may not be aware of. Thepetition will be fun, as I get to use my head, you know, I haven''t used it in a long while." Jia Li answered.


    Fu Hua put his hand on his forehead and said, "You don''t have to do that. I have already prepared a contract invitation for you, I was only waiting for you to be ready before I hand it over to you."


    Jia Li looked confused at first, then a thought scrambled into her head, "Are you saying FJ would send me an official invitation to work with them when I''m ready?"


    "Exactly, so you don''t need to go through all that troubles. The media knows that we are interested in working with you, so you will make waves once you ept our invite." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    "This is such a good opportunity. For FJ to send a contract invitation directly to me, this is an honor, you really went all out for me." Jia Li said with an appreciative smile.


    "You can''t let my hard work be in vain. You have to think about this matter, I will give you enough time to make the decision, in case you are confused on which road to go to." Fu Hua said with a serious gaze.


    Jia Li waved her hands and said, "No, there is no need to waste more time on this, I have made my decision and I know what''s good for me. I will have to reject your offer. I want to work my way to FJ and not sent a contract invitation because my husband is the Boss. Thank you for your hard work."


    After saying that, Jia Li turned to walk away but Fu Hua was fast enough to grab her hand.


    "You can''t join thispetition, I am worried about you. What about Jasmine, you won''t have time to spend with her once thepetition starts." Fu Hua said in a gentle tone.


    Jia Li leaned over with a smile that was not a smile. She gazed into his eyes and said in a low tone, "What are you afraid of? Are you worried that I won''t get in if I join thepetition? Or are you truly worried about the stress I would have to go through during thepetition?"


    Fu Hua was tongue-tied for a moment. He didn''t know how to reply to her. Initially, he was worried she would be stressed during thepetition, so he didn''t want her to join. But now that she mentioned losing, he was thinking if he was scared of that too.


    Seeing how quiet he was, Jia Li got angry and hit his hand away. "Don''t try to stop me, I will get into FJ through thepetition. Tell me if you don''t want me working in FJ, so I can think of other ns for myself. But if you don''t mind me working in FJ, then let me get in through my means."


    After saying that, Jia Li walked away in quick steps. She was so angry at him when she thought of the possibility that he didn''t trust that she can get into FJ through thatpetition.


    "Jia Li wait! When did thingse to this?!" Fu Hua asked with creased brows. He could tell his wife was angry at him and it has been a long time since she was that angry.


    Fu Hua didn''t chase after her. He remained sitting with a big frown on his face. He also felt a bit annoyed that his wife didn''t appreciate the method he developed to get her into FJ instead she chose the tough path.


    Jia Li went straight to find Jasmine who was having a good time with Housekeeper Zu. Jia Li carried the little girl and went straight for her bedroom.


    She asked a servant to bring two servings of food to her bedroom and when the servant did so, she chased everyone away and locked the door to her bedroom.


    The innocent little girl thaty in her carrier, had her gaze fixed on her mother. She looked curious as to what her mother was up to.


    "Jasmine, I fought with your father, I am angry with him and don''t want to talk to him anymore. He is looking down on me and I don''t find that funny. Even if anyone would do that, at least not him. I am so disappointed!" Jia Li said as she carried her little bun in her arms.


    Jasmine babbled and reached out her salivary hands to touch her mother''s face. "Do you agree with me? You''re disappointed, right? Good. So we are going to stay here till he agrees to let me do what I want."


    Jasmine continued to babble and reached out to touch her mother''s eyes but Jia Li was fast enough to shut them.


    Jia Li moved the little girl she was holding unto a little distance away from her, before she opened her eyes.


    "You little girl did your father send you to make me blind?" Jia Li asked with a frown.


    Jasmine stopped babbling for a moment and continued again with her gaze on her mother as she put her fingers in her mouth.


    "You are the cutest girl I know." Jia Li said with a smile before leaning in to kiss the bundle of cuteness on both cheeks.


    Jasmine giggled and moved her hands about. Jia Li hugged the little girl for a while beforeying her in her cot to change her diapers.


    "Mum, is going to wash your bottom, let''s go!" Jia Li said with a smile as she lifted the cute little girl in the air, beforeying her on her chest.


    Together, the mother and daughter went into the bathroom, so the little girl could have her bottom washed.

 Chapter 339 - The Fight (II)

    <h4>Chapter 339 - The Fight (II)</h4>


    When Fu Hua finished from the workshop, he went straight to find his daughter, but her mother had already taken her away.


    Fu Hua didn''t think much of it. He wasn''t ready to argue any further with Jia Li, so he resisted the urge to go and find his daughter.


    It was during dinner that Fu Hua knew that matters were not simple. He didn''t see any signs of Jia Li or Jasmine at the dining table, so he asked about it, and was told that the people he was looking for, were in the bedroom.


    "Has my wife eaten?." Fu Hua asked.


    "Yes, Sir." Housekeeper Zu replied.


    ''Is she avoiding me?.'' Fu Hua thought as he picked up his cutlery and began to eat. He only went to find the mother and daughter when he was done eating.


    After knocking on the door to Jia Li''s bedroom a few times now, he didn''t hear any response.


    "Jia Li, I know you''re angry, but this is not the time to do this. I know you can hear me, open the door." Fu Hua said in an exhausted tone.


    Jia Li who was breastfeeding the little girl, remained motionless as she sat down and continued with her maternal duties. She refused to say a word to him.


    Fu Hua knocked heavily this time around as he called out to her, "Look, Jia Li, I know you can hear me, won''t you open the door for me? It''ste already, I need to sleep and I am tired."


    "You have your bedroom, go there and sleep. You''re not stepping an inch into my room." Jia Li replied in an angry tone.


    Fu Hua had a frown sitting on his face as he asked, "Which room is yours?."


    "Oh! I don''t have a room, thanks for reminding me that this house belongs to you. I will get a house for myself as soon as possible!." Jia Li said in a taunting tone.


    Fu Hua was almost going crazy with Jia Li''s logic. "What nonsense are you talking about?. I only said that as I consider both rooms to belong to us. My things are here just like your things are in the other room."


    "It doesn''t matter!." Jia Li replied.


    Fu Hua was so furious with Jia Li that he couldn''t wait to get his hands on her. He would press her on the bed and teach her a lesson.


    "Fine! Since you don''t want me toe in and sleep, at least open the door so I can see my daughter and bid her good night." Fu Hua said.


    "Which daughter, do you have a daughter?!." Jia Li asked.


    "Jasmine is my daughter, and I want to see her." Fu Hua said as he was slowly starting to lose his patience. He didn''t understand why his wife was acting unreasonably because he doesn''t want her to join thepetition.


    "You are joking. Jasmine belongs only to me. She is my daughter, and not yours!." Jia Li said in a loud tone, and that caused the little one in her arms to fidget.


    "Mum is sorry," Jasmine whispered to her little bun in a gentle tone and patted her back.


    Fu Hua couldn''t understand what was wrong with his wife. How could she im that their daughter belonged to her alone?


    "Jia Li what is wrong with you? Jasmine is my daughter as well as yours. At least I contributed a sperm that formed her."


    As Fu Hua was saying this, two servants passed by with their heads lowered. Fu Hua saw them and became embarrassed.


    "I carried her for 10 months, and I went through pain and a lot to give birth to her. You think she belongs to you because you contributed a sperm, you must be joking! Go back to your bedroom and sleep, tomorrow I will start looking for a house. Till then, you have to tolerate my daughter and me." Jia Li said to him without a care.


    She was still angry with him because he refused to let her join the uingpetition. She was more furious when he came to sleep in her bedroom like he didn''t do anything wrong. Instead of agreeing to her request or trying to reason with her, he was only aftering to spend the night and see his daughter.


    "You are just being unreasonable, don''t even think about leaving this house!." Fu Hua said and walked away in anger.


    He walked back to the bedroom and banged the door and went straight toy on his bed. He felt ufortable as there was nothing to hold, so he picked up a pillow and hugged it in his arms, but he was still missing something.


    As for Jia Li, she made the sleepy little girl burp before putting her in her cot. She stood beside her cot and watched her for a while. Letting out a sigh, she went to sit on her bed with an exhausted look.


    Jia Li was feeling unsettled. Fu Hua didn''t want her to join thepetition, but she wanted to. She wanted to work hard for something, so people wouldn''t say she got into FJ because she was the wife of the Boss,ter when they found out her identity.


    Some people would still say that she passed thepetition because of Fu Hua, but working hard towards thepetition, had a different feeling, so she was willing to put her brain to work.


    Feeling thirsty, Jia Li got up to use the bathroom first before leaving the bedroom. She went downstairs to drink some water, and to get another ss for herself, so she wouldn''t have toe down to have a drink in the middle of the night.


    Going back to her bedroom, Jia Li walked straight to put the ss of water on the table before walking towards the cot to check on Jasmine, but she was rmed when she saw that the cot was empty, she almost screamed in shock.


    Thinking that no one would dare to take her child without her permission, Jia Li could only think of someone, Fu Hua.


    "Fu Hua!." Jia Li called out through gritted teeth as she left her bedroom for his, with anger boiling in her.


    "Fu Hua where is my daughter!.." Jia Li asked angrily as she banged his door with her hands when she discovered that the door to his bedroom was locked after she touched the handle.

 Chapter 340 - The Fight (III)

    <h4>Chapter 340 - The Fight (III)</h4>


    Jia Li''s tone and the loud banging on the door were enough to disturb Jasmine''s sleep. Fu Hua was scared the little bun will wake up and start crying, so he quickly walked to the door and opened it.


    Jia Li stopped shouting and tried to rush into the room but Fu Hua blocked her way.


    "Are you done making noise? Do you want to wake Jasmine up?" Fu Hua asked


    "Move out of my way!" Jia Li said in a fierce gaze but he wouldn''t budge.


    "Jia Li, what is wrong with you?" Fu Hua asked with creased brows.


    "You are even calling my name, why don''t you add ''Miss Qin'' to it?" Jia Li asked.


    It''s just now that she noticed he has been calling her by her name.


    "This is not my sweetheart, I don''t know who you are." Fu Hua said as he stared into her eyes. Jia Li''s behavior today, was truly an eye-opener for him.


    She was so different from that quiet and innocent-looking girl he married. He couldn''t ce a hold on her.


    "Your sweetheart has long disappeared. But if you love her so much, you can go and look for her, but I doubt you can find her." Jia Li replied.


    She was still very much angry with him. He alreadymitted a sin and he dared to crown it by stealing her child when she went to the kitchen to get water, it looks like he doesn''t want to be forgiven.


    "Jia Li, I really do not have the strength to argue with you, go back and sleep. Tomorrow, I bring Jasmine back to you." Fu Hua said and attempted to close the door but Jia Li out her hand there.


    "Fu Hua, give my daughter to me, I can take care of her more than you can do. You took her without my permission, and you are out here giving me instructions, what do mean?" Jia Li asked with a frown.


    "What I mean is that you should get some rest, you look stressed." Fu Hua said and took her hand away from the door and closed it before she could blink.


    Jia Li started banging the door and shouting and atst, that noise caused Jasmine to wake up with a frown.


    The little girl frowned and was about to start crying when Fu Hua quickly went over to lift her in his arms. Fu Hua hushed her and rocked her while walking around the room.


    "Fu Hua give me my daughter! I will tell grandfather that you bullied me!" Jia Li said as she started crying. She never stopped hitting the door and right now, her palms were red due to the impact.


    Fu Hua couldn''t believe his ears. Was that woman crying?


    Jia Li went beyond his expectation to sit on the cold floor to cry.


    Housekeeper Zu came over and asked her to get up but she didn''t listen.


    "Madam, the floor is cold. You should get up." Housekeeper Zu said to her in a gentle tone, but Jia Li was too stubborn to listen.


    "I want my child! My husband bullied me! He is treating me this way because he doesn''t love me!" Jia Li said as tears streamed down her eyes.


    "Madam, it''s not true. Sir loves you so much. Get up, so you don''t catch a cold. If you do, you can''t hold the little Miss." Housekeeper Zu said in a low tone as she helped her up.


    "I hate that cold-hearted man!" Jia Li said in tears as she allowed housekeeper Zu to lead her to her bedroom.


    Fu Hua heard the whole conversation. He was surprised Jia Li would cry seriously as he wasn''t expecting that. He thought she would only get angry and walk away, but who knew she would start crying like a child.


    Fu Hua''s heart went soft for her as he began to think if he was a bit extreme with his treatment. ncing at the child in his arms who looked ufortable with her gaze on him, Fu Hua sighed and continued to rock her.


    Jasmine made sounds of protests as she moved her arms and feet about. Fu Hua had to change the position he was holding her.


    He ced her on his chest and pat her back with the other arm. He said sweet words to her in a gentle tone as he walked around.


    About 10 minutester, the little girl was already asleep but Fu Hua did not put her down, as he was deeply thinking about his wife.


    It didn''t take long for him to hear the sound of a door closing, so he went over and opened his room door. He was in time to see Housekeeper Zu leaving Jia Li''s bedroom.


    "Is she sleeping?" Fu Hua asked in a low tone.


    "Yes, Sir." Housekeeper Zu replied with a slight bit before walking away.


    Fu Hua sighed in relief. He stood at that spot for some seconds before walking over to Jia Li''s bedroom. He was careful to open the door quietly and walked in with the sleeping little bun in his arm.


    Closing the door behind him, Fu Hua walked in. He nced at Jia Li who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and his heart truly melted.


    Without dy,id the little bun in her cot and made sure she wasfortable, before going to join Jia Li on the bed.


    Fu Huay beside Jia Li and hugged her from behind. He whispered his love for her and went ahead to kiss her arm before closing his eyes to sleep.


    Throughout the night, Fu Hua took care of Jasmine. He was so sensitive that he would get up to take care of her before her cries would get louder.


    Around 5 in the morning, Fu Hua left for his bedroom. He went to change into his tracksuit before leaving the house.


    What woke Jia Li up, was Jasmine''s cries. She was surprised to hear Jasmine''s voice in her sleep. Her eyes shot open immediately and she quickly sat up on the bed.


    Knowing that she wasn''t dreaming when she heard Jasmine''s cries again, she quickly got up and saw her little bunying in her cot.


    "Jasmine!" Jia Li called out with a smile.

 Chapter 341 - Fu Hua Confides In Grandfather Fu

    <h4>Chapter 341 - Fu Hua Confides In Grandfather Fu</h4>


    Jia Li was really taken by surprise to see Jasmine in the same room with her. Thest she rememberedst night, was that Fu Hua refused to hand over the child to her. She remembered housekeeper Zu escorting her to her bedroom and nothing else.


    "Did he bring her when I was sleeping?" Jia Li said in a low tone, but she didn''t think it was so because throughout the night, she didn''t hear Jasmine crying.


    Even if she slept with the motion that Jasmine was with her father, there was no way her cries wouldn''t wake her in the middle of the night if Fu Hua brought her back after she fell asleep, so there was only one possibility, that he brought her back this morning.


    "...but that doesn''t mean I will forgive him." Jia Li murmured as she changed Jasmine''s diaper.


    When she was done changing Jasmine''s diaper, she breastfed her just before Housekeeper Zu came in with another servant to assist in the little bun''s bath.


    Jia Li wanted to ask Housekeeper Zu if she knew when Jasmine was brought to her, but she stopped just before the question could leave her lips.


    This morning, Jasmine was very quiet. She was normally active in the morning as she would be babbling to herself but she was calm this morning.


    Jia Li thought she must have over-eaten, so she pinched her tender cheeks with a happy gaze, and continued to dress her up.


    "Madam, your breakfast has been served." A servant came to inform Jia Li.


    "Bring it here." Jia Li said without sparing the servant a nce.


    Housekeeper Zu smiled from the side as she informed Jia Li, "Madam, Sir left the house more than an hour ago."


    "Did I ask about him? Why are you telling me about it?" Jia Li asked with a frown.


    "I thought you didn''t want to eat at the dining because of him but it looks like I had it wrong." Housekeeper Zu said in an apologetic tone.


    "Who said I was avoiding him? Serve my food here." Jia Li said and looked away from them.


    "Yes, Madam." The servant that came to report about her breakfast, replied before walking away.


    Jia Li asked housekeeper Zu to watch the little bun while she goes to have her bath. When she came out from the washroom dressed in some casual clothes, her food had already been served.


    Jia Li was lucky to eat peacefully as Jasmine was fine ying by herself.


    "Jasmine, you will get hungry so quickly if you y so actively." Jia Li said to her.


    The little bun heard her mother''s voice and nced over. She paused with her actions for only a second before she smiled and went back to kicking her legs and her hands about.


    Jia Li was d that her little bun was happy. As she ate, she was thinking about her little bun and thepetition.


    Jasmine would be 5 months old by the time thepetition would end and at that age, it wouldn''t be so bad to start working. She just needed to make good ns, so she can see her little bun during lunch hours.


    After breakfast, Jia Li fastened Jasmine to her body in her baby carrier and took walks outside the house.


    Ocean and her puppies barked and circled Jia Li and the little bun.


    Jasmine looked frightened at first because of Ocean''s barks but she rxed after her mother pacified her.


    "Jasmine, do you want to say hello to them?" Jia Li asked with a smiling gaze on the little bun.


    Jasmine looked at her before ncing at Ocean and the puppies. She had a curious gaze on them.


    "Let''s do a quick introduction since your father is not here." Jia Li said as a servant spread a mat on the grass for her to sit.


    Jia Li released Jasmine from her carrier and sat her on the mat, while she sat behind her with her legs spread. The little girl was basically leaning on her mother as she looked up to nce at Ocean and the approaching puppies that came to y with her.


    Fu Hua who left the house early drove straight to the Fu House instead of going to his office. His gaze looked unapproachable.


    It was still quite early when he came over but Grandfather Fu was taking early morning walks when hee to his side.


    "Good morning, Grandfather." Fu Hua greeted with a slight bow.


    "What are you doing so early this morning? How are Jia Li and Da Xia doing?" Grandfather Fu asked with a smile.


    "They are fine. I came out early because I have something to talk to you about." Fu Hua said with a collected gaze.


    10 minutester, the grandson and grandfather were sitting side by side on the couch.


    "You look like you quarreled with Li girl. What is the matter?" Grandfather Fu asked in a concerned tone.


    ''Is it obvious?'' Fu Hua thought.


    "Grandfather, there is an uingpetition FJ is nning but Jia Li wants to join. Thepetition will be tough as thousands of designers will be applying for it. I..." Fu Hua went on to exin everything that went down between him and Jia Li, but he omitted the part where he took Jasmine from Jia Li and made her cry.


    "...She rejected the goodwill I did for her... At first, I thought about her before thinking about thispetition but after analyzing things, I knew it wouldn''t be an easy one, so I made another n for her to get into FJ but she doesn''t want it, she instead chose the tough part." Fu Huained.


    Grandfather Fu nced at him with a smile. "How can a little matter make you quarrel with your wife? Do you know how sad she is? I know you care about Jia Li but you also have to think properly and not let your fondness for her, get in the way of a serious matter."


    Fu Hua looked confused and waited for the old man to continue.


    "You are being over-protective of her and that''s the reason you are not thinking clearly. Allow Jia Li to join thepetition. I have faith and trust in her and even if she fails, I will still believe in her. Thispetition will be a chance to stretch her. She is getting into FJ but she needs training or she would be swallowed up by jealous wolves. Thispetition will train her and sharpen her horizon. Go home and make peace with your wife. You can help to put her through with important details concerning the designing, if you are that scared she would lose.." Grandfather Fu said and looked away from him.

 Chapter 342 - A New Ride For Jia Li

    <h4>Chapter 342 - A New Ride For Jia Li</h4>


    Fu Hua seemed to want to protest, but he couldn''t find the right words. It wasn''t in his thought to be scared that his wife wouldn''t make it to FJ through thepetition, but there were odds, and he was starting to be scared that she wouldn''t make it, and what her reaction would be.


    With his grandfather''s advice, Fu Hua deliberated on the matter and decided to let Jia Li have her way. Whether she emerges as one of the winners or not, she would definitely develop skills that will help her in the future.


    From the Fu Vi, Fu Hua went straight to work. His attention was divided during work hours, and the only time he paid full attention was during a short meeting because of thepetition.


    It was agreed that Fu Hua wouldn''t be directly involved with thepetition, as he would only stay on the sidelines to approve of the various steps for thepetition.


    After work hours, Fu Hua drove straight to a car dealerpany with his assistant, to pick a car for Jia Li.


    Jia Li didn''t know how to drive, but since she had ns of getting into FJ, she would need a ride of her own to get to work every day. He wouldn''t want her to take a taxi ???? either, so getting a car for her would be the best option.


    Fu Hua nned to send her to a professional driving school, for at least a month, depending on how fast she could learn. And after that, she would get a driving license and would be allowed to drive herself around.


    He got her a low-key jeep, that at least wouldn''t question her profile. Being able to afford that kind of car, wouldn''t be a problem, because the money she has earned so far from working with FJ, was enough to fetch her that car.


    Fu Hua selected a ck Range Rover Jeep for her. He would have gone for other colors, but he didn''t want any color that would draw attention to her, so he went for ck.


    Fu Hua had thepany put a big red ribbon ???? on the car, to symbolize that it was a gift, before driving the car himself, while Zimo drove his car and followed behind him.


    Jia Li was in the workshop with the little bun sittingfortably in the baby carrier attached to her. Jia Li was currently staring at the painting of Fu Hua and the little bun, which she painted.


    After staring at it for a moment, she sighed and turned to leave the workshop. She was studying the ws in the painting to see how much they were.


    She agreed that her talent in painting people was a bit rusted, but the painting still did make sense.


    Along the hallway, Mei (Servant) came to inform her that Fu Hua was back.


    "Oh!." That was Jia Li''s careless response.


    Mei did not say anything else and escorted her to her bedroom.


    After releasing the little bun, Jia Li stacked some pillows behind the little girl, so she can lean on them.


    Jasmine stared at her and pouted her lips as she was about to cry, but Jia Li shushed her.


    With a finger on her lips, Jia Li shushed her. "Don''t you dare! You made me carry you the whole day, and now my waist is hurting. Do you know how much you weigh?."


    The little bun paused for a moment with her tactics. She was staring curiously at her mother. ''Are you saying I am fat?''


    "Jasmine, you have troubled me enough for today, you wouldn''t even let me put you down for a minute, please pity your poor mother, my back aches." Jia Liined with a frown.


    All Jia Li did today, was to carry the little bun in her embrace, since the little bun refused to be put down. It looks like today was one of the days that she wanted to be in her mother''s embrace for long hours.


    Jasmine licked her lower lip before bringing her fingers to her mouth to suck them, but Jia Li remove her fingers and was about to put her pacifier in her mouth when she started crying.


    "You, are you kidding me right now?." Jia Li asked.


    She has just given the little bun an opportunity to be disobedient.


    "Madam, I will hold her for a while so you can get some rest," Mei said from the side.


    Jia Li sighed and said, "Do you think she will let you? This will be the 3rd time you''re trying for today."


    Mei decided to give it a try, but the little one increased her volume, so Jia Li had no choice but to take her back in her arms.


    No, that''s not what the little bun wanted, she wanted her mother to carry and stand to her feet. When Jia Li discovered that was what she wanted because immediately she carried her to stand up, the little bun stopped crying, she was in disbelief.


    In a mild tone, Jia Li scolded the little bun who didn''t seem bothered at all, until Fu Hua knocked and opened the door.


    On seeing him, Mei bowed and left the bedroom.


    "How are you?." Fu Hua asked as he approached the mother and daughter.


    Jia Li had a frown on her face, while the little bun looked ecstatic when she heard her father''s voice. She instantly turned to nce at him with an excited gaze as she babbled.


    Fu Hua touched the little bun''s cheeks with a smile for a brief moment, before fixing his gaze on Jia Li.


    "Are you still angry with me?." Fu Hua asked.


    "Yes." Jia Li replied.


    "That was quite direct." Fu Hua said in a low tone and let out a sigh of relief.


    "I''m sorry aboutst night. I should have talked things out with you like an adult instead of arguing with you. I''m sorry about my actionsst night, forgive me." Fu Hua apologized as he stared into her eyes.


    Jia Li gazed directly into his eyeballs to search for his sincerity, and she found them.


    Jia Li sighed and looked away from him.. She was waiting for him to talk about the next step, which concerned her involvement with the uingpetition.

 Chapter 343 - He Took In All Of Her Reactions

    <h4>Chapter 343 - He Took In All Of Her Reactions</h4>


    Fu Hua couldn''t guess why she wasn''t saying anything, nevertheless, he continued...


    "About thepetition, you can join if you want to."


    After saying that, Fu Hua nced back at the little bun who has been babbling continuously. He smiled at her and held her small hand for a while, before letting go and turning to leave, but Jasmine started wailing. She wanted him to hold her.


    Jia Li was still surprised that Fu Hua agreed to let her join thepetition after apologizing. At first, she thought he may want to go on to talk things out with her or maybe try and convince her not to join, but he surprised her.


    "I will take her with me." Fu Hua said to Jia Li as he stretched his hand to carry the little bun from her.


    Jia Li came back to her senses and whispered in a soft tone, "Thank you!."


    "It doesn''t matter. You can get some rest, I will spend some time with her." Fu Hua replied before walking away.


    ''Are things not a little bit awkward between us?.'' Jia Li said in a frown as she thought about the first time she was getting to know Fu Hua after they got married. She felt their rtionship has returned to the Origins.


    Fu Hua carried his daughter to his bedroom and ced her on the bed and took off his cufflinks and shirt, while the little girl watched him in excitement.


    Jasmine was really happy to see her father, as she babbled on with her fingers in her mouth.


    "Princess, were you obedient to your mother while I was away?." Fu Hua asked with a gentle gaze.


    The little girl smiled and continued to y with her fingers.


    Fu Hua wanted to change out of his trousers, and there was no way he would leave her alone in the bedroom, so he nned to carry her into the inner room to bring a change of clothes, but Jia Li came to his rescue.


    Jia Li knocked and walked into his bedroom, "I figured you would have trouble changing your clothes, so..."


    "Thank you, that''s exactly what I needed." Fu Hua said with a smile before ncing at the little girl and leaning over to say to her, "Princess, I''m going to have a quick shower, stay with your mum for the time being."


    Jasmine had a confused gaze as she watched her father walk away, and her mothere to her side.


    Jia Li sat on the bed but didn''t attempt to lift the little bun. Jasmine stared into her eyes for a while before stretching her arms towards her and kicking her legs.


    "Now you want me to hold you? Naughty girl." Jia Li said with a smile as she touched her nose.


    Atst, Jia Li lifted the little girl in her arms. The little bun was so obedient in her mother''s embrace. Even when her father came over, she didn''t cry like before.


    Fu Hua smiled as he carried the little girl. He nted kisses on her face before turning to Jia Li say, "I bought a new ride for you. You will need a car since you will be working in FJ."


    "What! You bought a car for me?." Jia Li asked in surprise.


    "Yes." Fu Hua answered.


    "Thank you, but I don''t know how to drive." Jia Li said in a dejected tone. She couldn''t believe he bought a car for her, but she was happy. Right now, she seemed to be a little disappointed as she didn''t know how to drive.


    "That is not a problem. You will start your driving sses next weekend. Every day, you will have 1 hour of practice for a week till the second week where you will have to practice for 3 hours daily." Fu Hua informed.


    "Oh! Thank you!." Jia Li said with her head lowered.


    "Come and check the car out and see if you like it." Fu Hua said with a smile as he led the way.


    Jia Li quickly followed him, she was also curious to see the car he bought for her.


    Seeing the ck Range Rover Jeep with a big red ribbon ???? attached to it, Jia Li was amazed.


    "This is for me?." Jia Li asked as she stared at Fu Hua in disbelief.


    "Yes. " Fu Hua replied as he took out the car key and pressed a button to unlock the car before giving the key to her.


    Jia Li took the car key from him and stared at it.


    As she was not making a move, Fu Hua thought she didn''t like the car and asked, "Don''t you like the car? If you don''t like it, I will..."


    "I will check it out." Jia Li said in excitement as she ran towards the car. She circled it first, before going to the driver''s side to open the door.


    Jia Li looked wowed when she saw the exquisite interior decor. She almost screamed in her head as she could guess how expensive the jeep was.


    Fu Hua stood with the little bun in his arms as he took in all of Jia Li''s reactions, and slowly, a smile formed on his lips.


    Jia Li couldn''t get over her excitement with her new car. She shocked Fu Hua when she ignited the engine.


    Fu Hua was scared she would move the car and cause an ident, so he said in a raised tone so she could hear him, "Jia Li that''s enough for the day, turn off the engine."


    "Oh! Okay." Jia Li replied and turned off the car''s engine before jumping off the car. She took quick steps towards Fu Hua and nced at him with an appreciative gaze.


    "Thank you for the car, I love it!." Jia Li said in a happy tone.


    "That''s fine. This is not thetest, so you shouldn''t be worried anyone would confront you about it. At least they should be aware you made some good money working with FJ these few times." Fu Hua whispered to her.


    Jia Li smiled and didn''t say anything. She was very happy about her new ride, and she couldn''t wait to send a picture of it to her friends.


    Slowly, things were no longer awkward between Jia Li and Fu Hua, after the former apologized. They were back to their little happy family.


    A few dayster, FJ announced their idea for apetition for creative young fashion designers from any part of the world.

 Chapter 344 - FJs Assistant Creative Director

    <h4>Chapter 344 - FJ''s Assistant Creative Director</h4>


    Currently, the inte has been carrying the news and it was known everywhere that FJ has intentions of organizing a never-beforepetition in the Fashion Industry and it was the first of its kind.


    As intriguing as it was, everyone knew it was a blood bath, as only the best could get in.


    Bai Fen scheduled a meeting with FJ''s Assistant Creative director. They met in a private location and Bai Jun was present.


    Since Bai Jun was interested in thepetition even though it was against her mother''s wishes, Bai Fen had no choice than to ask for help.


    "I''m sorry but there is no way to help you, you have to get in with your efforts." The Asst. Creative Director, Chyou said with a smile.


    Bai Fen heaved a sigh. She didn''t like this idea of getting in with one''s effort. She was aware that thepetition will be tough, so she doesn''t want her daughter to try it in case she fails and bes embarrassed and disheartened.


    "This is such a bigpetition and it won''t be a surprise if there is no loophole." Bai Junmented. She didn''t seem all that surprised that there was no way to help her get in with some tricks.


    "Since things havee to this, why don''t you let us in, on some of the arrangements for thepetition. I''m sure it will go a long way." Bai Fen said in a low tone. That was the only idea she could think of. Right now, her gaze was filled with worry.


    "I''m sorry to disappoint you again but I can''t help you with that. Only the higher-ups know about the ns, we haven''t been informed about anything yet. All I can say is for Miss Bai to work really hard or she may notst the first or second round of thepetition." Chyou said in a smile that was not a smile.


    If not for her sister, she wouldn''t be sitting with the likes of people that wanted to get benefits without working for it.


    Bai Jun found Chyou''s words an insult to her but she could only swallow everything because she was the assistant creative director of FJ, she couldn''t talk to her like other people, otherwise, that will be the end of her getting into FJ.


    Bai Jun smiled half-heartedly as she said in a smooth voice.


    "Miss Chyou, it''s fine if I can''t get in with your help but can you at least, coach me, I believe you have substantial talent and your teachings can help me go through thepetition."


    Chyou chuckled softly. She liked people praising her as she didn''t get that a lot at FJ since there seemed to be someone better than her.


    "I''m sorry but it is against my work ethics to mentor someone who is not a designer in FJ, privately. It''s gettingte, I have to leave now." Chyou said with a smile.


    Bai Fen saw that she was about to leave and stopped her. "Miss Chyou, please hold on." Bai Fen said as she took out an envelope from her bag and passed it to her.


    "What is this for, I didn''t help you out today?" Chyou asked with a confused gaze after she nced at the envelope.


    "It doesn''t matter. You took out time out of your busy schedule to see us." Bai Fen said with a smile.


    Inwardly, Bai Jun was angry that her mother prepared another cheque for Chyou when she didn''t help with anything today but she didn''t let her emotions out. She was waiting for Chyou to leave so she can confront her mother.


    Chyou smiled and took the envelope from her. "Well, I can take your money for free."


    ''It''s good that you know!'' Bai Jun said to herself as she rolled her eyes. She made sure she wasn''t seen or she wouldn''t be able to redeem herself if Chyou saw her.


    Bai Fen was the only one who was rxed because she knew the oue of her tricks beforehand. It was only someone who didn''t have a conscience that would have taken the money and left. It looks like she was not wrong about Chyou, as her mind has been re-shaped while working in FJ.


    "Since I can''t mentor Miss Bai, there is someone I will introduce you to. He will teach you the best but you need to get your money ready because he charges a lot." Chyou said with her gaze on Bai Fen.


    "Money is not a problem, you just have to introduce us and that''s it." Bai Fen said with a confident smile. No amount of money was too expensive to get her daughter into FJ because it was all worth it, as it would pay when she finally gets her hands on Fu Hua.


    ''It wouldn''t be bad if she climbs from his mistress to his second wife and then a first wife after she gives birth to a son.'' Bay Fen thought as she chuckled.


    "Good! I will give you a call tomorrow. Have a nice day!" Chyou said to them with a smile as she got to her feet.


    Bai Jun and her mother got up to bid chyou goodbye. "Thank you Miss Chyou, for the tips." Bai Fen said gratefully.


    Chyou bowed slightly and turned to walk away.


    Bai Jun was surprised by the turn of events. When she felt her mother has wasted the £¤1 million, who knew that Chyou would finally say something important?


    "Mum just now, I thought you almost wasted a good sum of money." Bai Jun said as she hugged her mother''s arm.


    "You still have to learn a lot from me. You need the patience to deal with all kinds of people." Bai Fen said confidently. Chyou''s actions were not a surprise to her.


    "I didn''t know money could move people like her." Bai Jun said with a smile. She thought Chyou was different, given the aura around her but who knew that money can still move her.


    "It''s not money, it''s greed. But it''s good she is not that difficult to deal with, at least she knows the right thing to do after collecting someone''s money." Bai Fen said as she gave off a proud vibe.


    Bai Junid her head on her mother''s arm and said to her in an excited tone, "Mum, I am in the mood to shop, let''s do that to celebrate."


    "Didn''t you hear what Miss Chyou said? We have to get the money ready for your new tutor, so we have to spend wisely. You know your father and your grandmother will never allow this, so I have to pay from my purse." Bai Fen reminded her.


    "Mum, your brother is rich and he married a wealthy wife, surely we can ask him for money." Bai Jun said with a wink.


    Bai Fen hit her arms gently and scolded her, "You want me to beg for money? You can''t be serious. If you are looking for what to celebrate with, we have so many expensive bottles of wines at home, we can pick your choice."


    Bai Jun agreed reluctantly and left with her mother.. Her private tutorials were more important than shopping for clothes.

 Chapter 345 - I Will Help You

    <h4>Chapter 345 - I Will Help You</h4>


    As Bai Jun receives tutors from the designer FJ Styles assistant creative director rmended, Jia Li and other intended applicants were not idle, they were getting their skills sharpened.


    Fu Hua didn''t call any private designer to teach Jia Li some skills, instead, he drilled her himself. He was always giving her assignments after each ss and that was so tiring to the mother of the little girl that loved attention, especially when she didn''t care if her mother or father were not in the mood.


    If Jasmine wanted you to carry her and walk around, you just have to do that, as there were no other options yet.


    Sometimes, Jia Li would pause to stare at her while she cried after putting her down, just like now.


    "Should I send you to your grandmother or great-grandfather? You know, they would wee you with open arms."


    Jasmine doesn''t hear that. She continued to cry as she kicked her arms and feet about.


    Jia Li held her forehead and sighed tiredly. She was so tired from holding the little girl that doesn''t want to sleep yet. The little bun has learned a bad habit of wanting either of her parent to carry her while they are standing.


    An idea came to Jia Li''s mind and she pouted her lips and began to imitate the crying little girl. Jasmine slowly stopped crying as she fixed a surprised gaze at her mother.


    Maybe the little girl didn''t think that adults could cry as well. You need to have seen how quiet she was while directing a curious gaze at her mother.


    Jia Li saw that her trick was working, so she continued without slowing down. She did that a few more times before stopping.


    Jasmine didn''t bother to cry again after seeing a peculiar sight of her mother. She gazed at her mother as she put her fingers in her mouth.


    Jia Li screamed in her mind for sess of making the little girl quiet.


    "Jasmine, you know you''re my cute little bun, right? But why do you do that all the time? You stress your mother when she needs rest, do you care about me? But I do care about you, please treat me better." Jia Li said with a pout.


    Only if her little bun could understand her, she would be more relieved.


    "Since you fell for my trick obediently, we are going to see your favorite cartoon." Jia Li said in an excited tone as she pped her hands.


    Jasmine babbled as she kicked her feet and hands about. The little bun seemed to be excited as well. Jia Li lifted her little bun and nted a kiss on both of her puffy cheeks.


    Jasmine was chubby and cute, no wonder Jia Liined of her weight whenever she carried her for longer than an hour. The little bun was eating healthily.


    Jasmine giggled when her mother kissed her cheeks and yed with her for a while. Jasmine was so excited that she moved her hands to grab her mother''s hair and that was when Jia Li got in trouble.


    "Hey! Can you let go of my hair!" Jia Li said immediately as she tried to reach out to the little girl''s hands but Jasmine had a firm grip on her hair.


    The little bun was still babbling excitedly. She looked so happy as she leaned over to put the hair in her mouth and that was when Jia Li got a chance to escape her hold.


    Jia Li stared at her bundle of cuteness and didn''t know what to say to her. Her scalp was in so much pain that she could go on scolding without stopping but who did she want to scold, a baby?


    Jia Li''s hair was in a mess because of the pulling, so she loosened her hair and let its length fall behind her. The little bun seemed surprised to see all that glory.


    "Give me a minute." Jia Li said to the little bun as she tried to massage her scalp and right at that moment, a knock sounded on the door, it opened.


    Jia Li nced over, her gaze turned to a smile, "You''re back. Wee."


    "Thank you!" Fu Hua replied in a gentle tone as he walked towards her with a smile. He kissed her lips and her cheeks before leaning away.


    Jasmine looked excited to hear her father''s voice and she continued to babble on and on until he came to her side to kiss her forehead.


    "How are you princess?" Fu Hua asked with a smile as the little girl grabbed his fingers out of excitement.


    Jia Li watched them with a smile, before turning her gaze away. Right now, she was trying to tie her hair up but she couldn''t.


    "You look like you need help." Fu Hua said as he got up and went to her side.


    "I do. Your daughter almost pulled off my hair. Her grip is quite strong for a 3-month-old." Jia Liined.


    "She is growing properly." Fu Hua replied as he moved his hands about on Jia Li''s long silky hair.


    Right then, a knock sounded on the door and Housekeeper Zu walked in only when she heard a response.


    "Madam, it''s time for the baby to be put to sleep. I will help you with that." Housekeeper Zu said with a bow.


    Jia Li thought that Fu Hua would refuse but to her surprise, he approved and Housekeeper Zu took the little girl away along with some of her things.


    "Come, let''s go to the inner room." Fu Hua said as he pulled her along.


    When they got there, he made her sit, before he started to take care of her hair. He took his timebing her hair, before deciding to pack it in a bun.


    "How do you see it, Jasmine won''t see anything to grab unto apart from your bangs." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    Jia Li chuckled softly as a sign of tacit agreement with his words.


    "I need to take a quick shower." Fu Hua said as he took off his tie from his neck.


    "I will help you." Jia Li said as she stood in front of him with a smile.. Next, she put her hands on his shirt and began to unbutton it, all to Fu Hua''s amazement.

 Chapter 346 - Going All Out

    <h4>Chapter 346 - Going All Out</h4>


    (WARNING!!! INCOMING HOT SCENES ????)


    Fu Hua was all smiles as she unbuttoned his shirt. And instead of taking off the shirt directly, she looked up at him with a smile as her hands slowly caressed his firm chest.


    Fu Hua chuckled as he asked, "What are you up to?"


    Jia Li continued to caress his bare upper body with a smile. "I just want to admire my husband''s body, is it wrong?"


    "It''s not wrong but I''ve got to take a shower, wait till I''m done." Fu Hua replied with a smile as he reached out to touch her cheeks gently.


    It was rare for his dearest wife to take the initiative for this kind of thing. It even be more difficult when they had Jasmine. Her attention was all on their little princess but she gives in anytime he makes a mood. So, he was very happy that she was taking a step without him leading her on, it looks like sending the little girl away was worth it.


    Fu Hua didn''t have any ns of doing anything with Jia Li when he allowed his little princess to be taken away, he just wanted to rest for a while in bed but it looks like his dearest wife has other ns.


    "A shower is it necessary?" Jia Li asked with a seductive smile as she pinched his nipples. That caused a tinge sensation in Fu Hua. His gaze changed and he leaned in to kiss her lips gently.


    "Give me 5 minutes, I will be back." Fu Hua said in a gentle gaze after he released her lips.


    "Okay but don''t take too long or the fire might quench." Jia Li said with a wink. Today, she was in the mood to do some naughty things and her confidence was growing daily.


    Sometimes, she was afraid of looking back at how innocent she used to be in the past because she was so different right now and may even get worse in the future.


    Being in love sheds your past self.


    "If the fire quenches before Ie back, I will ignite it when Ie back." Fu Hua said as he took off his belt and trousers.


    Jia Li smiled and went to sit on the king-sized chair, while Fu Hua left for the bathroom.


    While Fu Hua was taking a shower, Jia Li nced at herself in the mirror. She was thinking of changing her looks.


    She wanted to let her hair down because Fu Hua liked seeing her hair fall behind her, especially now that they were about to be intimate.


    "Ah! But he really took his time putting this hair in a bun." Jia Li muttered to herself while touching her hair.


    Remembering the time Fu Hua spent putting her hair in a bun, Jia Li was reluctant to ruin his efforts but thinking about making him happy, she said it would be worth it.


    Smiling to herself, Jia Li went to find something sexy to put on. Her mind went to those short skirts Fu Hua bought for her and thinking if it will be her size, she found them and decided to try them on.


    Jia Li took off her clothes and was now in her panties and nursing bra. Taking one of the skirts, she nced at it curiously, before going ahead to try it on.


    The skirt was a little tight on her as it showed off her figure, slim wais,t, and big hips and it was a little difficult to button it up.


    One thing Jia Li was grateful about, was that her stomach was t now and it just remained a tiny bit for it to go back to its original form.


    ''I think I will have to wear something else.'' Jia Li thought while ncing at herself in the mirror.


    But more than changing the skirt, there was something more that was out of ce and that was her nursing bra.


    "I''m sorry Jasmine but your father has to take over for now, so I have to put on something sexy." Jia Li said with a smile and quickly, she found her normal bra and put it on, before walking back to the mirror to admire her body.


    She felt she looked very hot and irresistible and smiling to herself, she loosened her hair and let it fall behind her and thatpleted her look.


    The person that was thinking of changing clothes, was busy admiring her body and her looks when Fu Hua walked in with a white towel, wrapped around his waist.


    Jia Li looked surprised to hear the footsteps and she quickly turned to nce at him in surprise.


    ''When did he finish?'' Jia Li thought to herself. She was so busy admiring her body that she didn''t notice when he finished bathing and she was still in that skirt she wanted to change out of.


    Fu Hua was surprised to see Jia Li dressed like that. She was only putting on a bra and a skirt that was too short and showed off her fair thick thighs.


    A smile slowly turned up on Fu Hua''s cheeks as he stood there in admiration of the wonder of her body.


    "What? You''re really going all out for this." Fu Hua said in a low tone. He was bing excited quickly, as his little brother tinged.


    Jia Li smiled as she approached him. "I was trying something on and I didn''t know when time passed."


    Jia Li ced her hands on his chest and touched it. It was more like she was grabbing his firm chest.


    Fu Hua wrapped his hands around her waist and leaned in to kiss her forehead before whispering seductively to her ears, "You look so hot!"


    "I can imagine." Jia Li said as her hands reached for his lower body and squeezed his little brother gently.


    That was unexpected, so Fu Hua let out a groan with his eyes shut. He slowly released a deep breath as his wife''s hands worked on him.


    Jia Li smiled happily, as she felt his d*ick gain strength and move under her touch. She liked how she controlled him and it works every time.


    "You really can''t wait, can you?" Fu Hua managed to say in between deep breaths.


    Jia Li stared into his eyes and smiled. "I think you''re the one who can''t wait.." She said and gave him another gentle gaze before turning to walk away.

 Chapter 347 - It Has Pleased My Heart To Satisfy You

    <h4>Chapter 347 - It Has Pleased My Heart To Satisfy You</h4>


    Fu Hua let out another groan and quickly caught her arm. "Where are you going?" He asked in a low husky tone with his deep gaze on her.


    He had no idea of where she was going to after igniting the fire in him. He wouldn''t ept any excuses from her no matter what it was until he satisfied his urges.


    Jia Li smiled as she replied, "I''m looking for something better to wear."


    "No need, I''m fine with this look." Fu Hua said as he pulled her back into his arms and immediately caught her lips.


    Jia Li caressed his chest as he explored her mouth wildly. He was not thinking of slowing down, as he seemed to be in a hurry.


    With his hands moving all over her back and even going on to grab her butts Jia Li felt something spark in her.


    She broke the kiss and stared into his eyes with a sultry gaze. And before Fu Hua could say anything to her, she pulled along and pushed him to sit on the king seat.


    With a smile, Jia Li kneeled before him and ced her hands on hisps, before slowly caressing his thighs.


    Fu Hua let out deep breaths as her hands worked their way to his d*ick. Jia Li didn''t touch it directly, she only teased him for a bit before going on to remove the towel on his waist.


    Seeing him in his naked glory, a huge excitement quickly built-in Jia Li.


    "Don''t tease me for too long because I can''t stand it." Fu Hua warned as he reached out to touch her cheeks.


    Jia Li decided to provoke him by grabbing his d*ck and squeezing it gently. "Why, has any woman tempted youtely?"


    Fu Hua fixed his dark gaze full of desires on her. "You''re right, there is just one woman who has managed to keep me off my feet."


    "Really?" Jia Li asked as she lowers her lips to lick the tip of his thick d*ck.


    Fu Hua almost couldn''t sit still when her wet tongue gave him a lick. He took deep breaths to stabilize his emotions before saying to her in an unstable tone...


    "Yes and she is right before me, the only woman who satisfies me all-round. I am pleased that she is my wife and the mother of my daughter."


    "I see..." Jia Li said as she trailed off with a smile. Her gaze looked satisfied after she gave him thatpliment.


    "It has pleased my heart to satisfy you this evening." Jia Li replied as she continued to caress him.


    "What an honor my queen." Fu Hua said with his dark gaze on her. He really couldn''t wait to enter her, as he was almost reaching his limit.


    He wanted her so badly but he didn''t want to ruin her n. He could only sit still and curb his impatience and desires.


    Jia Li smiled satisfactorily and gave him a few gentle squeezes, before leaving over to put his little brother in her mouth.


    Fu Hua let out a groan when she put his full length into her mouth. He felt so pleasured that he squeezed his palms in a fist and shut his eyes.


    Jia Li liked the sensation she was giving him when she saw his reaction. She became encouraged to continue. From a slow pace to a fast one, she sucked and licked him till she was tired.


    At a point, Fu Hua couldn''t help grabbing her hair and caressing it while she worked on him. When he was about to have a release, he warned her but she didn''t let go and instead increased her pace again.


    Atst, when he had a release, she swallowed everything before releasing her mouth from him but her hands were still on him.


    "You''re so good." Fu Hua said to her out of breath. He was pretty satisfied and happy that his wife had improved on giving him a BJ.


    "I have to learn for my husband." Jia Li said with a smile before leaning over to kiss the head of his d*ck.


    ncing at him with a smile, she hugged his neck and pulled him closer to kiss his lips. Fu Hua didn''t mind that his taste was still in her mouth, as he kissed her vigorously, while his hands moved to caress her back.


    Fu Hua wanted to unhook her bra but she stopped him.


    "Why?" He asked in a gentle tone.


    "It will hurt if I move vigorously." Jia Li replied with a naughty smile.


    Fu Hua understood what she meant and smiled. "Stand up." He said to her.


    Jia Li obeyed his instructions and stood before him, as he nced at every inch of her body like he was watching a sculpture.


    Fu Hua moved his gaze to her thighs and it looked so inviting that he didn''t think twice before putting his hands on her.


    "Put your legs apart." Fu Hua instructed in a low tone. Jia Li was being very obedient as she set her legs apart. She gave him ess to touch in between her inner thighs.


    "You''re wet." Fu Hua said when he touched her there and felt her wet panties.


    "Mmm.." Jia Li moaned softly.


    Fu Hua smiled as he moved his hands inside her skirt and the next moment, he was pulling her panties off her body.


    Fu Hua got to his feet and leaned in to whisper to her ear, "I''m going to eat you up till you beg me to stop and I will only listen when I''m pleased."


    His words excited Jia Li further and she weed his kisses when they came on her. She was excited and couldn''t wait for him to be inside of her but she wanted to have a little fun before that.


    Fu Hua pushed Jia Li to sit before he kneeled before her. Jia Li''s legs were apart when she sat in the seat and Fu Hua''s eyes saw the hidden treasure and that turned him on even more.


    Fu Hua did not allow Jia Li to rx. He pulled her a little out from the seat, so he could gain easy ess to her hidden treasure.


    Raising her skirt to her waist, Fu Hua put his hot palms on herps and began to caress her thighs.


    "You''re sure taking your time.." Jia Li said as she sucked in a lot of air.

 Chapter 348 - We Can Swap

    <h4>Chapter 348 - We Can Swap</h4>


    "You teased me till I almost began to doubt my self-control, so why don''t I teach you how to have the same self-control?" Fu Hua asked in a serious tone as he slipped 2 fingers inside her, while his thumb caressed her clit.


    Jia Li felt waves of pleasure hit her as she arched her back and moved on the couch.


    "You know you''re not being obedient." Fu Hua said in a low dangerous tone.


    "I don''t want to be obedient." Jia Li said as he moved his fingers in and out of her while caressing her clit.


    She was feeling so pleasured that she didn''t want to care about her image at the moment. Her image didn''t matter, what mattered was her sexual needs being met.


    Fu Hua chuckled at her response and added an extra finger inside her. "If you don''t want to be obedient, that''s fine because I know how to make you obedient."


    "Then make me!" Jia Li said with a daring gaze amidst her getting f*cked by his fingers. She looked like was she was not afraid of anything and that was the same thing as telling him to bring it on.


    Fu Hua slowed down his hand movements and narrowed his gaze on her. "I see." He said in a low dangerous tone.


    ''Oh no! Wrong move!'' Jia Li screamed in her head when she saw that dangerous look. She didn''t know what came over her and made her dare him.


    "Can...can I take back my words?" Jia Li asked in a pleading tone.


    Fu Hua raised her legs and opened them. "No Sweetheart, it''s toote." Fu Hua said with a smile before putting his mouth on her hidden treasures and began to suck, graze his tongue and move in and out of her.


    As his tongue worked wonders in her, Jia Li couldn''t sit at a ce and she couldn''t keep her hands to herself.


    Jia Li moaned with her eyes closed while her hands caressed Fu Hua''s hair.


    Fu Hua ate her to the point where her voice began to move his heart and only then did he stop. Jia Li heaved a sigh of relief and shut her eyes and was about to rest when she felt something hard touch her core.


    Immediately after, she opened her eyes to see Fu Hua torturing her with his member. Jia Li moaned and begged him to take a rest.


    "Let me rest a little." Jia Li said and attempted to close her legs but Fu Hua stopped her.


    "Now you want to take a break? Sorry sweetheart but I can''t ept that. We haven''t had s*x yet." Fu Hua said in a gentle tone as he continued to tease her with the tip of his member.


    Jia Li either wanted to take a break or for him to enter her because what he was doing right now, was torturous to her.


    "Fu Hu, please, just do it." Jia Li said and she tried to grab him with her hands but he caught her hands with one hand.


    "What did you call me?" Fu Hua asked as he slipped in and pulled out of her immediately.


    Jia Li screamed in pleasure and wriggled her body. "Darling..."


    "Good girl!" Fu Hua said before releasing her hands and legs and going straight to take off her bra, letting her big breasts free to dangle in his sight each time there was a little move from her.


    Just as Fu Hua was about to put his lips on her breasts, she pushed his head away. "I didn''t pump enough milk for Jasmine, don''t suck everything."


    Fu Hua chuckled and asked, "You are now seeing me as someone that eats his baby''s food. Don''t worry, I know when to stop."


    Fu Hua couldn''t me Jia Li that she thought of him that way, as this was not the first time he was sucking her breast and stealing his daughter''s food.


    The maternal instinct in Jia Li, made her remember she still had a little daughter to breastfeed and if her naughty father drank everything, her baby would surely be hungry and wail because of it, so she had to speak up on time.


    Jia Li sighed in relief as she trusted his words. She knew he wouldn''t go too far as he said because he wouldn''t want his little princess to be hungry after stealing her food.


    Fu Hua kept his promise and didn''t suck her breasts for a long time. As he sucked her breasts, his fingers started to work inside her again.


    Jia Li heaved a sigh of relief because that section didn''t waste time.


    Before Fu Hua could make any move, Jia Li swapped their position. She pushed him to sit, while she removed her skirt and climbed on him.


    Circling her arms around his neck, Jia Li let Fu Hua guide his d*ck inside her. Both of them let out gasps of pleasure when they finally met.


    Now that Jia Li was sitting on Fu Hua, she was the one that had to make the move and control the pace.


    "If you''re tired, we can swap." Fu Hua whispered in a husky voice.


    "I''m fine." Jia Li replied in-between moans as the sound of them hitting against each other was heard.


    Fu Hua put his hands on Jia Li''s butts, while she circled her arms around his neck and ground him.


    "ummamhhmms..." Jia Li moaned as she began to grind him at a faster breath. Now, they were breathing heavily as their skin was pping against each other.


    That sound was so powerful enough to give them some of the pleasure they seeked for.


    Fu Hua felt that he was more in advantage because he could feel the sensation of his wife''s breast as they continued to move against each other.


    If he wasn''t sure that he had drunk enough of Jasmine''s milk, he wouldn''t mind sucking her breasts again, as they were too tempting not to touch or suck.


    Some minutester, Jia Li and Fu Hua found their release together and they both let out a deep breath.

 Chapter 349 - Good Luck Kiss

    <h4>Chapter 349 - Good Luck Kiss</h4>


    "I love you." Fu Hua whispered to her ears before nting a kiss on her earlobe and neck.


    "I love you too." Jia Li replied in a soft tone, while still sitting on him. She enjoyed every bit of their lovemaking.


    Fu Hua kissed her neck a few more times before grabbing her butts and giving them a gentle squeeze. He lifted her and slipped out of her before letting her sit on his thighs.


    "Are we not going for another round?" Jia Li asked.


    Kissing her lips, Fu Hua replied, "I''m tired."


    Jia Li broke the kiss and caressed his face. "You''re tired? But he doesn''t seem like he is tired." Jia Li said as she nced at his arousal. His member was still erect and said otherwise.


    Fu Hua chuckled as he sent a few strands of hair behind her ear. "You look like I didn''t satisfy you."


    "No you did but I want more." Jia Li said as she looked downwards. She was satisfied after the first round but she wanted more and she mustered up the courage to ask for it.


    "Did you drink or eat something?" Fu Hua asked as he gave off a lowugh. He was really surprised by his wife who kept asking for more s*x. She was getting bolder by the day.


    "I didn''t take anything, I just want you buried deep inside of me." Jia Li replied in a soft tone.


    But really, she has missed her husband. Since herst stage of pregnancy up until now, they don''t have s*x as frequently unlike before.


    Fu Hua heaved a sigh and said as he raised her chin, "It looks like I have been neglecting the sexual aspect of our lives. I thought that I should let you rest since you spend all your time with Jasmine and at night when you are supposed to rest, you will end up waking up to feed her or change her diapers. Looking at all of these, how dare I demand s*x? But it looks like I was wrong. I promise to satisfy you each time, till you beg me to stop."


    Jia Li couldn''t get a grip on her man. One moment he was acting sweet and the next moment, he was acting like a rouge.


    "Do you still want it?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her, while his hands moved all over her body.


    Jia Li had to think twice before replying to his question. Hisst statement showed her that he wouldn''t go easy on her, as it looks like she must have hurt his pride. Deep down, she still wanted him but now, she will have to weigh his words and what she wanted.


    "I will pass. Let''s shower so I can put you to sleep." Jia Li said as she got off hisps. She has made her decision.


    "No, go and have a bath first while I do a little tidying." Fu Hua replied as he got to his feet.


    "First, you need to help me with my hair." Jia Li said after she nted a kiss on his lips.


    Fu Hua made her sit on the vanity chair while hebed her hair before putting it up in a bun.


    Some minutester, the couple was lying under the sheets and sleeping in each other''s arms.


    The young husband and wife woke upte in the night when their little bun was already fast asleep.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua had dinner together before Fu Hua went to the workshop. Jia Li followed him there to continue from where she left out on her work.


    "I thought you might want to sleep some more." Fu Hua said with his gaze on her.


    "I''m not sleepy and I would be bored if I stayed in the bedroom doing nothing. Thepetition is in a few weeks, I''ve got a lot of work to do." Jia Li replied.


    Knowing the kind ofpetition she had ahead of her, sleep wasn''t her problem. She still had enough time to sleep after she gets into FJ.


    Fu Hua smiled and beckoned on her toe to his side. "Come, let me give you a good luck kiss."


    Jia Li smiled and walked over to his desk to receive his good luck kiss. She leaned in slightly so he could easily kiss her lips since he was sitting.


    The kiss was soft and gentle. It was the kind of kiss any woman will need from her husband for sess.


    When Fu Hua released her lips, he smiled at her and said, "How did you see it?"


    Jia Li blushed and replied, "I loved it."


    As she was about to move away from him, Fu Hua''s eyesnded on her chest area. Jia Li was putting on a loose singlet, so when she bent over to receive his kiss, she also sampled her cleavage.


    Jia Li saw him staring at her chest and followed his gaze to see her breasts on disy. She immediately stood upright and walked away with a smile.


    Fu Hua smiled as his gaze followed her till she settled on her desk and only then did he look away and put his attention on the work before him.


    As it was just a few weeks left before thepetition, FJ has been making a lot of preparation for it.


    The investors already agreed to it and funding wasn''t a problem, so at the end of every week, FJ would post a piece of new information concerning thepetition.


    This week, they mentioned the criteria for joining thepetition and a few of them are listed below...


    1. Applicants must be aged 22 - 30


    2. Single/married/divorced (but your personal life should never affect your professional life)


    3. Male/female


    4. College


    5. Profile/CV/Resum¨¦ (You can add any other information apart from the basics, you think it''s important for us to know)


    6. Two picture samples of any of your works


    7. You must be free to travel down to City X in Country C if you are asked to.


    These criteria have already narrowed down the kind of people FJ is looking forward to working with.


    Initially, most of the directors didn''t want those that were either single or divorced to apply but Fu Hua said otherwise.


    "I am married and most of you are married as well, so tell me, does your rtionship status stop you from getting your work done?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on them.


    "Sir, that''s not it. The problem is that these youngsters think and act differently from us.." One of the directors said.

 Chapter 350 - Fu Huas Rage

    <h4>Chapter 350 - Fu Hua''s Rage</h4>


    "You''re calling them youngsters, what about me? Are you indirectly trying to say that I have aged?" Fu Hua asked in an angry tone.


    The director was scared of out his wits. When did his talking about the applicants be an insult to him?


    The director, quickly rendered an apology to Fu Hua, along with a bow.


    "If you are that worried about their rtionship status, then add, ''That each one of them must be able to separate their personal life from work." Fu Hua said as he hit his desk with his palm.


    He was still very much angry with that director and seeing how angry he was, nobody dared to mention anything about rtionship status or age.


    Even Zimo was scared for his life. It has been a very long time since the boss got this angry. Even if he did get angry once in a while but today''s own was unexpected.


    The director that just annoyed Fu Hua cried in his heart. When and how did I offend him?


    The rest of the directors pitied him. Since their Boss could re up because of something not worth it, it meant that they had to thread on a thin line in today''s meeting.


    Fu Hua was not meant to give them rules and criteria for thepetition but it looks like if they said anything he didn''t like, he will not spare any of them.


    Fu Hua calmed down and asked, "Is there any other thing any of you would like to add?"


    The directors exchanged nces. Nobody wanted to get on his bad side and get scolded, so many were afraid to speak up.


    Fu Hua looked around and saw that nobody was saying anything, he nodded and said, "Since there is nothing..."


    Fu Hua''s words stopped on his lips as one director raised his hand to seek permission to speak.


    Fu Hua didn''t say anything. He was so angry today with the directors with the criteria they came up with and now someone dared to cut his words off.


    The director that raised his hands, nced at Fu Hua when he didn''t permit him to speak.


    "What? Should I beg you to speak after you interrupted me?" Fu Hua asked with a smile that was not a smile.


    "I''m sorry, Sir!" The director apologized with a bow. Then he took a deep breath before speaking up.


    "Sir, since we will be picking only 30 people for the final round, then we shouldn''t allow more than a thousand people to apply for thispetition, as it will be unfair to many applicants."


    Fu Hua shut his eyes and opened them again. Fixing a menacing gaze on him, Fu Hua asked, "Do you want to lose your position?"


    The director looked confused as he nced at his colleagues before ncing back at Fu Hua who looked like he would swallow him whole the next minute.


    "Forgive me, Sir, please forget what I just said."


    Fu Hua scoffed at him and asked, "I should forget you interrupted me? Is your rtionship status distracting you from behaving properly?"


    The other directors looked away, as this one was clearly asking for a beating. How could he interrupt the Boss to say something and then tell him to forget about it?


    "No, Sir." The director replied. He was still confused if the matter he brought up wasn''t important.


    Fu Hua looked like he was still angry with what he said about the rtionship status of the future applicants.


    His wife was going to apply, so does it mean she shouldn''t bother to apply because she was married? Fu Hua was so angry when he thought about this.


    "I think we should relieve you of the stress for a few months. Go back home for today." Fu Hua said to him.


    Fu Hua was definitely asking him to take a leave for a few month as a punishment. The person Fu Hua was angry at, was the other director that spoke about rtionship status but he was lucky he escaped and now, he had to pour aggression on another person.


    "Sir, I''m sorry but I don''t know what I did wrong." The director said.


    "That''s the more reason why you should spend more time at home to rest because the stress has confused you greatly that you no longer remember the rules when you bring up a problem." Fu Hua said while knocking on the desk.


    The other directors understood what Fu Hua was talking about. During an important meeting like this, anyone bringing up a problem, should suggest a solution and not just say something and keep quiet.


    Actually, this was not supposed to be a big deal but what can they do when their Boss made it a big deal?


    The director in question was too nervous to think properly, so Zimo had to help him out.


    "Director Chuo, the boss is waiting for your suggestion," Zimo said in a kind reminder.


    One re from Fu Hua was all it took for Zimo to turn into a statue.


    The director finally got why Fu Hua was annoyed and quickly apologized before giving his suggestions.


    "... I think the site for the application should be open for a limited number of hours."


    Fu Hua finally looked away from him and nced at the rest of the directors for their opinion.


    Since their Boss was waiting for their opinion, the rest of the directors finally reacted and a few of them chipped in some words.


    Finally, Fu Hua''s verdict came. "From your agreement, the site should be made open for only a few hours and this means that the server will be very busy. The tech department should take note and work on the site. As for the time interval, there shouldn''t be any. Once we have up to 1,000 Applicants, the site will automatically close."


    ording to Fu Hua''s instruction, the information was put up on social media, along with the criteria for thepetition.


    This was not too surprising, as everyone knew that many people were eyeing thatpetition and if there were no rules and implementation from FJ, they should be expecting nothing less than 15,000 applicants, so it was a good thing that they made their stance known.

 Chapter 351 - A Month To The Competition

    <h4>Chapter 351 - A Month To The Competition</h4>


    As the festive period was fast approaching, it was so for the first-ever megapetition hosted by FJ.


    Things were getting set for Jia Li. She learns new things every day and practices the little details in sewing.


    Learning how to drive, took her more than a month because she had to divide her time between her baby, Fashion and designing sses, fitness sses and driving lessons.


    Today, Jia Li was taking the little girl shopping in her new car. Fu Hua didn''t trust her driving yet and decided to tag along after postponing a meeting.


    She was taking their little princess and it was still better toe with her.


    With two soldiers in the uniform ready to follow them in another car, they were good to go.


    Jasmine for the first time was using her car seat. At first, the little girl cried when Jia Li tried to put her in it but after Fu Hua came to distract her so Jia Li could secure her in her seat, the little girl sat still.


    Fu Hua strapped her seatbelt and kissed her chubby cheeks.


    Jasmine who was now 4 months old, became fascinated by her car seat. She nced around and also felt it with her hands and then she became excited and started hitting it with her palms.


    "It''s good she agreed to stay or you would have had to carry her to the mall." Jia Li said with a sigh of relief.


    "I wouldn''t mind though." Fu Hua said with a smile as he handed the little bun, a small soft toy.


    "You know she wouldn''t stay at a ce." Jia Li said as she turned to walk toward the driver''s side of the car, while Fu Hua closed the back passenger door and got in the front passenger seat.


    Jasmine was 4 months old, which means that she was more active now. The little girl liked to grab everything she sees and was curious about, so it was now a bit troublesome to take care of her, as you have to keep your eyes on her at all times.


    Jia Li drove them to the shopping mall which Fu Hua had already reserved. He didn''t want anyone having eyes on his family, so he paid to shop alone for 3 hours and that was quite a lot of money.


    Jasmine enjoyed the car ride and it was surprising that she didn''t fall asleep. Her mother was a patient driver so, she must have been excited ncing outside to see the things that fascinated her.


    When they got to the mall, Fu Hua opened the car''s boot and brought out the little bun''s stroller before putting her on it.


    This month of November was cold, so the little bun was covered up properly. With Fu Hua pushing her trolley, Jia Li hooked his arm and the three made their way into the mall with the soldiers behind them.


    Jia Li wanted to buy more clothes for her little bun and also some toys she could y with.


    It was heart-warming to see the family of three shopping for things excitedly. Each time Jia Li saw a beautiful toy, she would show it to the little bun who would babble excitedly and point at it. In fact, there was hardly anything the little bun didn''t show any interest in. She was fascinated by everything in the store.


    From the toy section, Fu Hua pushed the trolley and followed Jia Li to the clothing section, where they saw a lot of beautiful clothes that could fit their little angel.


    Jia Li ended up buying a lot of things. Fu Hua didn''t stop her and let her buy all she wanted. Fu Hua didn''t just push the trolley, he also picked some things for his little princess.


    Jasmine yed with the toy her mother gave to her and would sometimes look around excitedly. On their way back home, the little girl was so exhausted that she slept off in her car seat.


    The things Jia Li and Fu Hua bought for Jasmine were a lot, such that they couldn''t enter the two cars they came with.


    Back home, Jia Li carried the little girl upstairs to change her diapers, and feed her, while Fu Hua ordered the servants to take the things from their shopping to Jasmine''s nursery.


    After feeding the little girl, she slept back and Jia Li left her to arrange the clothes she bought for her.


    The clothes had to be washed but Jia Li wanted to sort them out first, so she could keep her shoes and headbands away.


    It had been an awesome time for the family of three. Jia Li''s stomach was back to its previous state and she has lost her fat, thanks to the exercises and healthy food.


    Jia Li nned to start introducing other foods to Jasmine when she turned 5 months. So for now, she was still drinking breastmilk but will still attempt to fight for adult food whenever she saw any of her parents eating.


    For FangSu, it''s been a tough time epting that she would someday be betrayed by her childhood best friend. FangSu doesn''t talk much with Bai Jun these days and she doesn''t know her ns. But from her conversations with Bai Jun, she could tell how much thetter had changed.


    She could feel Bai Jun''s attitude towards her and she can now tell her intentions.


    Not being able to get into FJ was another depressing situation for FangSu and She needed a job badly.


    Fu Hee has been telling her to go and apologize to Fu Hua and Jia Li but she wouldn''t listen. She has a lot of pride in her, so she wouldn''t go.


    Fu Hee paid her no mind and left her to do what she wanted. Fu Hee still had her eyes on her just in case she tried to slip off her grip.


    Knowing that she wouldn''t be able to apologize to her brother and that she needed a job badly, FangSu decided to sign up with a modeling agency.

 Chapter 352 - Fu Hee Comes To Stay

    <h4>Chapter 352 - Fu Hee Comes To Stay</h4>


    FangSu had no problem signing up with a new agency, as she had built up a reputation for herself oversees and given her family and the power she had, there was absolutely no problem.


    FangSu signed a 6-month contract with her new agency and her promotion began immediately.


    Fu Hee could only sigh at what pride caused her daughter to do. Atst, she stopped thinking about it because even if FangSu had gone to plead for mercy, Fu Hua would not have forgiven her immediately, so it was good that she got a job for herself for now, while thinking of a way to confess her wrongs.


    FangSu being a member of the Fu family and joining a new modeling agency, was sure to be put up to the news and catch people''s attention.


    When Bai Jun saw the news, she smiled to herself that she still had a grasp on FangSu. But pretending to be a good friend, she called her on phone to congratte her.


    FangSu didn''t sound enthusiastic and Bai Jun was not worried about it. Thinking she was not happy for not signing with FJ, Bai Jun consoled her with a few words, before running back for her sses.


    At the beginning of thest week of November, FJ announced the date the new site for thepetition would be open.


    On thest day of November, the site would be open for the interested applicants to send in their resum¨¦. The time given for the site to be open was 7 AM in Country C''s time zone.


    FJ also helped to transcribe the time in other time zones for different countries, so that the interested applicants would take note of the correct time to start sensing in their resum¨¦.


    Jia Li, who was aware that FJ would disable the site once they have reached 1,000 applicants was nervous.


    It was just four days to the day to send in her application and Jia Li was already restless.


    "If you are this nervous now, what will you do when thepetition starts?" Fu Hua asked with a frown.


    "I won''t be nervous then. I''m only afraid that there would be thousands of people sending in their applications and mine wouldn''t work out." Jia Li replied with a sigh.


    Fu Hua smiled and said to her, "You are forgetting something. Who is the Boss of FJ?"


    "You." Jia Li replied with a confused gaze. She didn''t know what he was getting at.


    "Who am I to you?" Fu Hua questioned. He was trying to give his dumb wife a hint of who he was and what he can do.


    "My Husband." Jia Li replied.


    "Good! This means you have no problem. Just rx and continue practicing everything I taught you about fabrics, cutting, sewing, joining, etc." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li looked like she understood him and smiled. But then a thought came to her head and she frowned while asking, "I don''t want to cheat, I have to submit my application the right way just like the other applicants."


    Fu Hua frowned at her response and said, "What are you thinking about? Don''t worry, I won''t use any underhanded means. Just wait till a few days, now don''t ask any questions and go back to your work."


    Jia Li was curious to know how he would help her but it looks like he was unhappy with her words. It wasn''t her fault though, she only wanted to make sure he wouldn''t go against his principles to help her.


    On the other hand, Fu Hua was a bit annoyed that Jia Li thought he would use an ugly means to help her send her applications. He doesn''t know why she saw him in that light.


    The next day, after Jia Li and Fu Hua had deliberated on a particr matter. Fu Hee packed some of her things and came to stay with them.


    Since Jia Li would be busy with thepetition which wouldst a month, She wouldn''t have the time to spend with Jasmine just like before and Fu Hua would be very busy at FJ because of thepetition, so Jia Li suggested bringing Fu Hee over to help take care of the little bun.


    At first, Fu Hua disagreed but it didn''t take long for Jia Li to convince him. He has seen a lot of positive changes from his mother''s side and so he decided to give her a second chance just like Jia Li asked of him.


    When Fu Hee arrived and saw Jia Li waiting outside to wee her, she immediately walked over and hugged her. This was the first time the mother and daughter-inw were embracing each other.


    Jia Li was taken by surprise but she quickly hugged Fu Hee back. The rtionship between them was no longer awkward, so the hug came naturally.


    Fu Hee was very excited when Fu Hua asked her toe and stay with them for a while, to help look after the little bun.


    Fu Hee came to know that it was Jia Li''s suggestion because Fu Hua told her about it.


    Fu Hee was supposed to have been staying with Fu Hua and Jia Li after thetter gave birth since she was her mother-inw but Fu Hua didn''t let her and she didn''t dare to think about it.


    Now that she was allowed to stay with them, She was more than excited. When Jia Li called her, ''Aunty'' she now dared to tell her to address her as ''mother''


    "We are not strangers and I am your mother-inw, you can call me, ''mum'' or ''mother''." Fu Hee said with a smile.


    Jia Li smiled as well and called out to her, "Mum."


    Fu Hee was so happy that she was now smiling from ear to ear. She patted Jia Li''s hands and began to apologize for everything wrong she did to her.


    "Mum, there is no need. I have already forgiven and there is no need to bring up the past. Come inside the house quickly, it''s cold outside.." Jia Li said as she walked her inside the house.

 Chapter 353 - Criteria For The Second Stage

    <h4>Chapter 353 - Criteria For The Second Stage</h4>


    Five minutes to the time the site for thepetition was to be opened, Fu Hua sat on his desk and typed away.


    Jia Li''s resum¨¦ was ready and she was just waiting for the right time to send it over but Fu Hua got on hisptop and asked her to send it to him.


    "What? Is it time already, we still have a few minutes left?" Jia Li said in surprise.


    "Just do what I asked you to do." Fu Hua said without looking up. His tone wasn''t harsh, just that he was a bit serious with work.


    Jia Li sent the file to him and immediately walked over to see what he news doing.


    Jia Li didn''t understand the whole process until Fu Hua opened the site for thepetition.


    "What? Howe it''s open, it''s just a minute to the time." Jia Li asked in surprise to see the site open.


    "It was just opened now. The site is busy already, as many people are on it." Fu Hua replied as he typed away.


    He was the Boss of FJ and he knew how things worked. When FJ said the site would be open by 7 AM, Fu Hua knew the sight would be enabled a few seconds or a minute or two before 7 AM.


    After sending the application over, Jia Li and Fu Hua glued their eyes to the screen of theptop to wait for the sess message and then the time clocked 7 on the dot.


    "Why is it taking so much time?" Jia Li asked with a frown. She was a bit tense as her application hasn''t been epted.


    "There are thousands of people already on the site, so you don''t expect to receive a response in a second. Wait for a few seconds, the traffic much." Fu Hua replied with his finger on his forehead as his gaze remained on the screen, never leaving.


    "I am already nervous, check it out!" Jia Li said as she ced his palm on her left breast, so he could feel the rapid beating of her heart.


    "I can see how tensed you are, do you want me to massage your heart so it could rx?" Fu Hua asked with a smirk.


    Jia Li rolled her eyes at him and pushed his hand away. "I''m not in the mood to joke." She said as her gaze went back to the screen and there, she saw a message with a green ? icon, telling her that her application was received sessfully.


    (? Congrattions, your application was received sessfully! Please check your mail in an hour for more information regarding thepetition.)


    "Ah! I got in!!!" Jia Li screamed on top of her voice out of excitement as she jumped up and down with an excited gaze. Her voice was too loud that Fu Hua had to protect his ears with his hands.


    "Darling, I got in!" Jia Li said out of excitement as she ran towards him to give him a big tight hug.


    Her hold was so strong that Fu Hua had to struggle to push her away. "I get it but are you trying to kill your husband?" Fu Hua asked with a frown, she almost choked him to death.


    "I''m sorry but I''m so happy that I don''t know how to express it!" Jia Li said with a smile.


    She was so excited that her application was epted. Earlier, she was nervous when her application was taking time to send but right now, her nervousness was reced with unspeakable joy.


    ''You already expressed it by almost choking me.'' Fu Hua thought.


    "You look so happy when thepetition is not over yet. Check your mail in an hour but for now, get back to work." Fu Hua said to her.


    "What? Am I not even allowed to celebrate my small wins?" Jia Li asked as her smile disappeared. She thought Fu Hua would be all smiles now but his reaction was simply the opposite, he was fierce with her.


    "Thepetition has not started but you have automatically joined the first round of thepetition where you would have to start being serious." Fu Hua notified.


    He didn''t see her application being epted as a big deal but deep down in his heart, he was very happy to see her smile so brightly. He couldn''t reveal his true feelings because of a simple reason. He didn''t want her to feel prideful.


    Having heard that she had automatically moved on to the first stage of thepetition, she went back to his side to ask, "So you know the criteria for going to the second stage?"


    "That you win the first round." Fu Hua replied with his sight on hisptop. He knew what Jia Li was asking for but he didn''t want to tell her about it.


    Jia Li sighed and went back to her seat to continue drawing on her graphics tablet.


    Fu Hua smiled at her and swirled on his seat. As she was backing him, she couldn''t see the smile on his face.


    Bai Jun was lucky enough to be the 999th person to be epted. She almost went crazy when thework kept disturbing her because of the busy server.


    For over 30 minutes, she has been trying to send her application but it wasn''t working. The bitterness in her heart increased to the highest level and she even swore to lead a good life if she got in.


    Right, when she made that promise, her application was epted and she was excited. Apart from being excited, she was scared when she saw the rank she was in, 999 meant that she was lucky.


    Bai Fen promised to take her to lunch and to shop for a few things just to congratte her for being epted to join thepetition.


    Other applicants all over the world who were lucky to be epted to join in thepetition, were currently celebrating with their friends and families.


    An hourter, Jia Li checked her Email to see the mail from FJ, telling her that she has automatically entered the first round ofpetition, where the information on the resum¨¦ she submitted, will be reviewed and verified and the result will be announced within a few days.

 Chapter 354 - J-mine

    <h4>Chapter 354 - J-mine</h4>


    Thepetition FJ set up was truly a major topic for discussion amongst youngdies, older women and those interested in Fashion and Styles.


    It was not new news that the site for thepetition, closed less than an hour after it was opened.


    Now, the next topic of attention was the number of stages thepetition had and FJ did not say what they were all about.


    It was only the firstpetition which was already taken ce, that they announced the requirement to pass it.


    As it was normal for some people to y smart duringpetitions, FJ came prepared and that is the reason the first stage of thepetition, involved verifying the information the applicants submitted.


    Those that faked identities, college, achievements were immediately disqualified. Now looking out for the perfect resum¨¦s, FJ selected the best that were put in order.


    As all those that gave false information to FJ were disqualified, those that passed, automatically moved over to the next stage for thepetition.


    A week after the applicants'' entry into thepetition, FJ announced that they have managed to select about 500 people after their details were verified and were in order. They also put up the criteria to move over to the second round.


    It was a big shock to most people that arge number of people were eliminated after the first round ofpetition.


    ''How tough was it?'' The spectators thought.


    Those that followed thesepetitions up, could see how tough it was when it was only getting started.


    Bai Jun sighed in relief after she made it to the first round. She almost lied in her resum¨¦ but because of Miss Chyou''s advice to be genuine and transparent, she was lucky that she wasn''t eliminated.


    "FJ is not here to joke." Bai Fen said after sheughed in relief.


    "It looks like they have enough time on their hands." Bai Jun said with a sigh.


    "This only proves how tough thispetition is. They really took their time getting a thousand resum¨¦." Bai Fen said from the side.


    "Mum, I''m going out for a cup of coffee." Bai Jun said as she stood to her feet.


    "Where are you going to? The rules to get into the third round will be announced soon, do you think you have enough time to walk around?" Bai Fen asked with a frown.


    "Mum, I will be back soon. I just want to rx my brain." Bai Jun replied.


    "You can rx your brain after you must have passed the second round ofpetition. Come back here and practice your sketches." Bai Fenmanded.


    Bai Jun sighed tiredly and came back to sit down. She wanted to have alone time in order to think about her steps in thispetition.


    She was thinking how she would have lost in the first round ofpetition if she had followed her heart. Thinking about it made her scared and she wanted to lighten the burden in her head.


    Back at Jia Li and Fu Hua''s ce, Fu Hee prepared a delicious meal for Jia Li which included all her favorite.


    "This is for passing the first round of thepetition. You need to eat more and have the strength for the next phase." Fu Hee said as she served her some food.


    "Thank you, Mum." Jia Li said with a grateful smile. She wanted a delicious meal and she got what she wanted. She needed the physical and mental strength to go on with thepetition.


    When Fu Hua came back from work, he washed his hands and came to join Jia Li at the dining table.


    "Wee back." Fu Hee wee him with a smile and he replied with a ''hum''. Fu Hee was already satisfied that he chose to reply to her and the words were not necessary to deliberate on.


    The rule for the second round ofpetition was Emailed to the qualifiers of the first round and they were also asked to select one fabric of their choice they would like to work with, from the pictures of more than 20 different fabrics that were under the rules for the second round ofpetition.


    Jia Li chose the one she thought looked mature and beautiful, before shutting her system and going on to look at all her sketchbooks.


    The rule for the secondpetition says that the contestants were to submit one image (front and back) of their design, which will be posted on FJ''s official Instagram page and the site opened just for thepetition.


    Themunity would vote for their favorite designs.


    In thispetition, there was no face or name reveal, as all the designers used their nicknames or initials.


    To make it fair, the contestants who have built a fan base or some reputation for themselves in one way, can not use their popr nickname.


    Instead of using JL which was popr, Jia Li used, ''J-mine'' which means, Jasmine. It was only Fu Hua that understood the nickname she decided to use.


    FJ gave the contestants 24 hours to submit their designs, which didn''t have to be fresh work.


    Because there were 500 people at this stage, it would be difficult to select one favorite design, so FJ developed a method for it.


    The 500 contestants were divided into 20 groups, with 25 candidates in each group, so it would be easy to select a favorite from each group.


    And the shocking thing about this stage is that only the Top 100 contestants with the most votes would move over to the next round ofpetition.


    This was crazy!


    With this difficult stage, this meant that the contestants had to make their best choice amongst all the drafts they have ever had or better still,e up with a new one.


    A theme was given to them for this round and that was what they were going to work with. This made a lot of the contestants start designing new works.


    Someone like Jia Li chose one of her already made sketches.. She modified the draft a bit, before submitting it without showing it to Fu Hua.

 Chapter 355 - You Must Want It

    <h4>Chapter 355 - You Must Want It</h4>


    To Jia Li and other contestants who were sent an Invitation from FJ, the New Year festival sure took its time to pass.


    Jia Li was surprised that Fu Hua did not congratte her after she received the invite, instead he was still asking her questions about her designs.


    "Do you remember all the designs you submitted during thepetition?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Why not... is there a problem?" Jia Li asked with a curious gaze.


    "There won''t be a problem if you can remember every little detail of your designs." Fu Hua replied and refused to say more about it.


    "Darling, don''t you think you''re being mean to me?" Jia Li asked.


    "Why do you say so?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her. He really wanted to know what prompted her to say that.


    "I got an invite after thest round ofpetition but you didn''t say any word of congrattory messages to me, that''s not fair." Jia Liined.


    "Sweetheart, till you''ve signed a contract with FJ, only then can I congratte you. But till then..." Fu Hua replied with a smirk. He was actually pulling Jia Li''s legs.


    "You''re so mean." Jia Li said with a pout. She has gotten an invite already and she was sure she was going to sign the contract once she gets there but Fu Hua wanted to wait until then.


    "Come here, I will give you a kiss." Fu Hua said as he pulled her into his arms.


    "I don''t want your kiss." Jia Li said as she leaned away from him. She was annoyed at him.


    "You must want it." Fu Hua said with a chuckle and forced his lips on her. He only released her from the kisses when she was almost out of breath.


    Immediately he let go of her, Jia Li wiped her lips with the back of her hands before stomping her feet and going into the inner room with a frown.


    Fu Hua chuckled at her childish acts and move his gaze away. Fu Hua had a secret n, which no one knew about and he would end up taking everyone unaware including Jia Li.


    FangSu has been on a low-key for a while now. But she still hasn''t apologized to anyone. She was quieter unlike before where everyone couldn''t help but notice her.


    Grandfather noticed the changes but didn''t say anything to her, even Fu Meixu wondered what was wrong with her that caused a change in her attitude.


    When FangSu still had a problem with Fu Hua and Jia Li she still acted haughtily but this time around, her attitude was different. She didn''t bother to talk too much and didn''t say anything if her opinion wasn''t needed.


    During dinner, after the festive period was over, FangSu was the first to leave the dinner table. When she went back to her room, she picked up her phone to call Bai Jun who seemed to be having a lot of fun.


    FangSu didn''t have the time and patience to fake being sweet and close to her. After a few words of pleasantries, FangSu directly asked her the important question in her heart.


    "Have you found thepany you want to join?" FangSu asked.


    The smile on Bai Jun''s face disappeared as she asked from over the phone, "You seem to be very interested in me getting a job."


    Bai Jun was thinking if FangSu was suspecting that she got into FJ. Since she was using another nickname and FJ hasn''t done an identity reveal on them yet, she had confidence that Bai Jun wouldn''t know about it.


    As for Fu Hua and the reason he and the Fu family haven''te after her is that she thinks they were not aware of it.? But no matter what the reason was, she hoped it would continue to remain that way.


    "Why wouldn''t I be? I am concerned about you because it''s almost getting to a year since we came back and you don''t have anything doing?"


    FangSu was very curious about Bai Jun''s ns.


    "No need to worry about me, I will pick thepany I want to work for, in a few days, I''m still making inquiries, as there are a lot of good fashion and designingpanies in the city." Bai Jun replied.


    "Okay, don''t forget to give me feedbacks soon as you have decided on it..." FangSu said to her.


    After the conversation came to an end, Bai Jun said, "Dream on!" and then went back to continue watching a movie with 2 of her cousin brothers.


    When the time came for all the contestants that passed the final round of thepetitions to go to FJ headquarters in Country C in City X, FJ booked flight tickets for those that were not in the city.


    Jia Li was a bit nervous about the D-day. She would be going to FJ in 2 days and she would also get to meet her new colleagues with who shepeted.


    Her colleagues wereing into the city the next day and they would get some rest before all of them would assemble at FJ by 9 AM of the next day.


    Jia Li was nervous about the right clothes she would wear and about transportation, she didn''t think of taking her car and there was no need to because FJ would be sending a car to the address she filled in her resum¨¦, to get bring her to FJ''s headquarters.


    Jia Li has an expensive apartment building under her name, which was a gift from grandfather Fu, so she used the address as the ce she was living in.


    "Darling, which dress should I wear to FJ?" Jia Li asked as she pulled Fu Hua into the walk-in closet.


    "You can wear anything you want to." Fu Hua said as he allowed her to pull him.


    "No, you have to help me pick an outfit. Since you like picking outfits for me, choose one for me." Jia Li insisted.


    "Alright, I will." Fu Hua agreed. He didn''t have any problem picking an outfit for his wife but his mind has been elsewhere.


    Fu Hua has been wondering what his wife''s reaction would be when she learns of the surprise he prepared for her and her new colleagues, he was really looking forward to her reaction.

 Chapter 356 - Jasmine Throws A Tantrum

    <h4>Chapter 356 - Jasmine Throws A Tantrum</h4>


    Soon, the D-Day came and the 30 contestants were ready to visit FJ Styles headquarters.


    Jia Li was dressed up in the outfit Fu Hua picked for her and because of the cold weather, she downed herself with a red jacket.


    Now that she was ready, she took her little bun from her mother-inw.


    "Jasmine, wish your mama luck!" Jia Li said as she hugged her little bun before nting kisses on her face.


    Jasmine babbled excitedly and reached out to touch her face. Jia Li was scared that she might whack her face, so she leaned away a little.


    Fu Hee smiled from the side, "You asked for her luck, yet you are moving away."


    "Mum, I''m scared of her pping my face, pulling my hair or my earrings." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    "That''s right. Give her to me, you need to leave early, you don''t want to bete." Fu Hee said with a smile.


    "She can hold Jasmine for a little while, she maye back veryte if a task is assigned to her." Fu Hua said from the side.


    "What?" Fu Hee looked surprised.


    "Who assigns tasks to newbies on their first day at work for long hours?" Jia Li asked with a confused gaze.


    Fu Hua smiled and said, "Wee to FJ."


    Jia Li groaned with the little girl in her arms. Since it looks like she had to prepare for the worst, she hugged Jasmine tightly and nted kisses on her face again.


    The little girl giggled as she received kisses from her mother.


    Giving the little bun back to Fu Hee, Jia Li reminded her, "Mum, just in case I will get backter than expected, I pumped enough milk for her but she has to try her baby food as well."


    "Don''t worry, I will take care of her." Fu Hee replied with a smile as she took the little bun from her.


    Fu Hua went over to caress his little Princess''s face before kissing her forehead. "See you..." He said as he waved his hand ????


    Jasmine nced at his hand and slowly looked up at him before raising her little palm ? and babbling.


    Her small action, caused her parents and grandmother to chuckle.


    "Good girl!" Fu Hee said to the little bun.


    Fu Hua was always doing this to the little bun every day when he was about to leave for work and as long as she was awake, he would wave at her before leaving.


    "Bye Baby." Jia Li said as she kissed the cute little bun before turning to walk away.


    Surprisingly, Jasmine started wailing when she saw both of her parents about to leave the house.


    "Hey! Jasmine, don''t cry. I''m going out to buy you some toys." Jia Li said as she walked back to her side to hold her small hand.


    Jasmine instinctively stopped crying when her mother came back and she stretched her arms as she wanted to be carried.


    "This is going to be a long morning." Jia Li said with her gaze on Fu Hua.


    Fu Hua smiled and walked back to their side.


    Jasmine looked satisfied as she was held by her mother. She nced at her father from her mother''s arms and didn''t give any reaction.


    After two minutes, when Jia Li tried to hand her over to Fu Hee, the little bun started crying again and clung tightly to her mother.


    "This is serious." Fu Hee said from the side.


    "I''m going to bete if she doesn''t agree to let go." Jia Li said with a frown.


    "She knows that you''re not going to buy her a toy, plus you''re dressed so seriously, so she wants toe with you." Fu Hua said as he touched his daughter''s hand.


    Jasmine proved to be a stubborn little bun this morning as she refused to let her mother leave without her.


    Seeing how seriously her mother was dressed, coupled with the fact that she was leaving without taking her, the little bun was not having any of it, she must tag along.


    Jasmine was rxed in her mother''s arms and didn''t care about what was going on.


    "You can''t continue holding her for long, you need to leave for work and this is your first day. Just give her to me, she will cry for only a while." Fu Hee said to Jia Li.


    Fu Hee was worried that her daughter-inw will bete on her first day at work because of the little bun. She cared about her grandchild and wouldn''t want to see her cry but Jia Li can''t bete to work.


    Jasmine seemed to understand what they were saying and clung tightly to her mother''s arms. Her eyes still looked teary and it didn''t fail to invoke the pity of her father, who wouldn''t want to see her cry again.


    "Mum, let her nanny get her bag and stroller and you''reing with us." Fu Hua said.


    "What? You want me to take Jasmine along?" Jia Li asked in surprise.


    "No, that''s not it. You will only hold her till you get to your destination. As long I''m there with her, she won''t give many troubles even you leave." Fu Hua replied.


    Things were done ording to Fu Hua''s instructions. When Jia Li wanted to put the little bun in her car seat, she refused to sit and wanted to be held, so Jia Li had no choice but to go sit in the front passenger seat with her.


    "Jasmine, what are you up to?" Jia Li asked the little bun that was sitting in her arms obediently.


    "She is used to you staying by her side every day and now that you are about to leave for work, she is not having it." Fu Hua replied as he ignited the car and drove off with another car following after them.


    Jia Li liked the love she was getting from her little bun but she was frustrated about it as it came at the wrong time.


    Fu Hua knew how his wife was feeling, so he suggested in a low tone, just in case the little bun hears him, "Why don''t you give her some milk, she may fall asleep if you do that."


    "This will make me take off my clothes." Jia Li said to him.


    But as she had no choice, she had to do that.. Luckily, the car was tinted, so she was a bit rxed as no one will see her.

 Chapter 357 - Meeting Her Colleagues At FJ

    <h4>Chapter 357 - Meeting Her Colleagues At FJ</h4>


    While breastfeeding the little bun, Jia Li caressed her back and yed her a slow baby song that could make her feel drowsy, so she could fall asleep faster.


    Jasmine who didn''t know the tricks her parents were ying on her, fell for it. A few minutes into her drinking her milk, she became drowsy and shut her eyes. Jia Li sighed in relief but didn''t dare to ck off.


    Atst, when they got to the apartment building, Fu Hua parked the car and came down. He went to Jia Li''s side to take the little bun from her.


    "Put your clothes on, I will give her to mother." Fu Hua said as he lifted the sleeping little bun from her, before closing the car door.


    "Is she sleeping already?" Fu Hee asked when the little bun was brought to her.


    "Yes. Mum, I will have to trouble you to look after Jasmine as Jia Li won''t being back today." Fu Hua said with a calm gaze.


    "Why?" Fu Hee asked in surprise. Even if Jia Li may be swamped with work today but that shouldn''t warrant her noting back home.


    "I have some tasks for them and it will take them all night to finish it." Fu Hua replied.


    "You, why didn''t you tell her about it? And you were not considerate of your daughter." Fu Hee said to him in an annoyed tone but she didn''t dare to shout because of the sleeping Jasmine.


    "I can''t tell her about it directly, I gave her hints but I''m not sure that she got them." Fu Hua said.


    "You..." Fu Hee said with a frown. She didn''t have any words left for him. She couldn''t believe he was this strict even with his wife.


    "Mum, take care of Jasmine, I will be backter at night." Fu Hua said and closed the car door for her. It was after the car drove away that Jia Li came out fully dressed.


    "I wanted to catch a glimpse of Jasmine''s face." Jia Li said with a pout.


    "You will see her when you get back home. The car FJ is sending will be here any minute from now, so stand outside for a bit." Fu Hua said after checking his wristwatch.


    Jia Li checked her wristwatch and saw that the time was close. "That''s true, hurry up and leave."


    After Fu Hua left, it didn''t take up to a minute before for the car FJ sent over to arrive.


    "Miss Qin." FJ''s representative greeted Jia Li after he got out of the car.


    "Good morning." Jia Li greeted with a smile.


    The representative opened the car door for Jia Li so she could get in.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li said with a polite smile as she got into the car.


    On the other hand, when Bai Jun saw the person that was sent by FJ to pick her, she acted all high and mighty and got into the car.


    She wanted to show off that she was so good that she was selected, hence her attitude.


    The first vehicles to arrive in front of FJ were the vans that went to pick up the foreign fashion designers from their amodation unit.


    The second to arrive was a smaller car with a Chinese. The third to arrive was Bai Jun. She had a proud look as she stepped out of the car.


    Andstly, Jia Li''s car arrived. When she stepped out of the car, all eyes were on her. When Bai Jun saw her face, she became angry and jealous even when she had an idea that she joined thepetition.


    Jia Li was also surprised to Bai Jun there. She remembered her as FangSu''s best friend. She was thinking of the reason Fu Hua didn''t tell her about her taking part in thepetition. But there was nothing to worry about.


    After the first nce at her, Jia Li looked away and walked up to where the others were standing.


    The other Chinese citizen seemed to recognize Jia Li and immediately walked up to her.


    "You are JL, right?" She asked for rification as she looked up at Jia Li with an expectant gaze.


    Jia Li was surprised that she could still be recognized even though her face has not been on social media for a long time.


    Bai Jun got jealous at the sudden attention Jia Li was getting and walked up to a French foreigner to exchange greetings.


    "Yes." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    "I knew it! Miss Qin, you have changed a little bit but it''s good that I recognized you! I can''t believe you''re here and no one knew you took part in thispetition." Baozhai said enthusiastically, she seemed so happy to meet Jia Li.


    Jia Li smiled without saying anything. She didn''t like the attention she was getting from the other but it''s not like she could protest.


    Before Baozhai could say another word to Jia Li, someone came out of the building to lead them inside.


    Jia Li thought she was free from Baozhai but that was a lie. Boazhai clung to her and began to make small talks.


    Bai Jun sneered when she nced over at them. She hated Baozhai''s guts but more especially Jia Li who snatched her man.


    The new designers were all taken into a small hall and asked to sit and wait for them to be addressed.


    When they were left alone, one of the foreign designers, walked up to Jia Li to exchange a greeting with her.


    Bai Jun was ready to make fun of Jia Li because she thought she didn''t understand English but to her surprise, that opportunity never came for her because Jia Li seemed to converse effortlessly with the foreigner.


    Jia Li was not that good at English but her time spent in the Fu family was not a waste. We had grandfather Fu to thank, for the English sses.


    "So I heard you''re a good designer, why did you join in thepetition?" The foreigner asked.


    "I still have a lot to learn." Jia Li replied with a polite smile.


    "I like you, you are humble. I will introduce you to the others." The foreigner said with a smile as she took Jia Li''s hands.


    It was not difficult to tell that she was an American from her ent.

 Chapter 358 - A Surprise From Fu Hua

    <h4>Chapter 358 - A Surprise From Fu Hua</h4>


    Bai Jun could only watch in envy as Linda took Jia Li to introduce her to the rest of the foreigners.


    Jia Li was polite but there was one arrogant one in their midst, she was a French that goes by the name, Marie.


    Jia Li learned from the introduction, that she has been the one leading in thepetition. And no wonder she was kind of haughty.


    "Jia Li, don''t think too much, Marie is very jovial when you get close to her." Linda said to her with a smile.


    Not long after, the people that they have been waiting for arrived and they all got seated.


    Sunny, Chyou and two other representatives, walked in to address their recruits.


    Sunny nced at them and was surprised to see the familiar face. She was truly surprised to see Jia Li sitting in thest row.


    The only people that knew the real identities of the recruits, was their family members and the team that handled thepetition, as for the creative director, she had no idea that JL was participating and because of the new nickname, she wasn''t able to recognize her work.


    Chyou and the other two, were all smiles when they recognized Jia Li, as she has been the talk of the town a few times because of her creativity.


    Bai Jun noticed the gazes directed at Jia Li and squeezed her palms in hatred. She was thinking that the people in FJ must have known Jia Li''s true identity as their Boss''s wife and just want to treat her specially.


    Bai Jun was truly ignorant of the real reason that attention was given to Jia Li.


    Sunny called back everyone''s attention when she started to speak.


    "Hello everyone, I am Sunny, the Chief Creative Director here in FJ. I and my colleagues are here to wee you and to give you the basic knowledge you need to know about FJ."


    After introducing herself, Sunny gave room for her colleagues to introduce themselves. After that, Sunny asked the recruits to introduce themselves... their real names and their pen names.


    After the introduction, Sunny was speaking to them when Zimo knocked and walked in with a small envelope in his hand.


    Chyou saw him and walked up to him. "What brings you here, Mr. Zimo?" She asked with a polite smile.


    Zimo handed the envelope to her, saying, "This is an instruction from the Boss to Miss Sunny. Everything has been prepared."


    After saying that, he turned to walk away, leaving the surprised Chyou behind.


    When Sunny received the envelope, she opened it and took out a letter that contained Fu Hua''s instructions.


    Sunny almost went crazy after reading the instructions but she wasposed physically. Chyou felt that something was wrong and peeped to see what was written on the paper, she could hardly beposed like Sunny after reading it.


    Sunny had to address the recruits that were still getting to sign their contracts.


    "As we all know, FJ put up a notification before the start of this verypetition that brought all of you together today. We said that there will only be 20 people, joining us from thispetition. Currently, there are 30 of you here today and that means that 10 of you, have to leave."


    Sunny''s words were like cold water pouring on the new fashion designers who seemed to be going crazy as well.


    At this point, Bai Jun couldn''t sit at a ce. She was tensed as she didn''t have the confidence that she would make it to the Top 20. She has no idea about this, as Chyou didn''t say anything. By looking at Chyou''s surprised gaze, she could guess that none of them knew about this.


    "There is no need to panic if you know what you''re doing," Sunny said to them.


    ''No wonder he said he would only congratte me when I have signed the contract with FJ.'' Jia Li thought.


    This new announcement really took all of them unawares, including the prideful ones.


    In no time, Sunny announced Fu Hua''s instructions.


    "This instruction came straight from our Boss. You are asked to pick one of the designs you submitted in your application and illustrate it again, after that, you will be provided the materials to make the dress."


    Surprisingly, Bai Jun sighed in relief. Before, she was already plotting how she would bring Jia Li down if she doesn''t make it.


    She was sure Jia Li would be dragged if she revealed that she was the wife of Fu Hua and that she got in because of his help.


    The confidence and the guts she has.


    Soon, some people walked in and passed some materials to them, so they could start designing immediately.


    Jia Li finally understood that Fu Hua has been giving her hints all this while. She understood that he couldn''t say it directly and she held no grudges against him.


    ''Still, he should have said something.'' Jia Li thought to herself.


    The new designers were given 30 minutes to put down their illustrations before they were sent to a veryrge workshop to start making their dresses.


    Zimo represented Fu Hua by staying in a watch. He would at times,e in to take a look and leave since he still has to serve Fu Hua.


    Zimo was not that surprised when he saw Jia Li. He was tempted to bow in greeting to her but heposed himself.


    As everyone went to their assigned position, they checked the materials they got and waited for the timer to start before they started working.


    ''Thank goodness my little bun wished me luck... who knows when I will be able to see her.'' Jia Li thought with a sigh as she picked up a pencil and wrote down the measurements she would be working with.


    Fu Hua was in his office, watching the live footage from therge workshop where the 30 recruits were working.


    His gaze was solely on his wife, as he didn''t bother to nce at any other person.


    As he still had much other important work to do, he had to turn off the footage and leave for an important meeting.

 Chapter 359 - The Reason She Was So Confident

    <h4>Chapter 359 - The Reason She Was So Confident</h4>


    After more than 24 hours of creating a dress, Jia Li was finally back at the house.


    Jasmine was asleep when she returned, so she went to her nursery to see her. Seeing how the little girl was sleeping so soundly, Jia Li''s heart melted.


    "Da Xia missed you. She kept looking out for you throughout yesterday." Fu Hee said to Jia Li with a smile.


    "I didn''t know she loved me as much as she loves her father." Jia Li said with a smile as she caressed the little girl''s face. She said that because the little bun liked her father''spany more.


    "Silly girl! Which child will hate the mother that loves and cares for her? Go and freshen up and rest, I will send food to your room." Fu Hee said with a pat on her shoulder.


    "Mum, thank you!." Jia Li said as she turned towards Fu Hee''s direction with a grateful smile.


    "What is there to thank me for? I should be the one thanking you for giving me this golden opportunity to look after my granddaughter. Hurry up and freshen up, you have dark circles under your eyes." Fu Hee said in a kind tone as she pulled her by the hand to leave the room.


    "After taking a rest, you have to give me the details of the test." Fu Hee said with a smile.


    "Okay, mum." Jia Li said before finding her way to her bedroom to freshen up and rest.


    After showering, Jia Li felt a little relieved, and when she walked into the room, she saw her mother-inw serving her a bowl of soup and some side dishes.


    When Fu Hee nced over and saw her, she smiled and beckoned on her to hurry up and eat.


    "The soup is still hot, you will enjoy it if you eat it right away. After eating, someone wille to take the tes away. Don''t think about anything and get some rest." Fu Hee said to her.


    Finally being left alone, Jia Li began to eat. She hasn''t slept much and was exhausted because she worked all through the night to create a masterpiece.


    After eating, Jia Li''s head hit the pillow, and she dozed off secondster.


    When Bai Jun got back home, her mother quickly went to meet her at the entrance.


    "How was the test? I got your textte, and when I tried calling you, your line wasn''t reachable." Bai Fen said in a worried tone.


    "The test was fine, we will get the resultster today, or tomorrow morning. I turned off my phone and submitted it after sending the text to you." Bai Jun replied in a tired voice.


    Sunny had given some of them a minute to text their families before taking their phones from them, after announcing the instructions from Fu Hua.


    Bai Jun had texted her mother, asking her to cover up for her at home, since the contest was a surprise.


    In the evening, when Olddy Bai asked about Bai Jun after not seeing her for long hours, Bai Fen lied and said she went job hunting with a friend and decided to sleepover at her friend''s ce.


    "How can my granddaughter go for job hunting, when I would have easily made a call to get a job for her?." The olddy had asked with a frown, and this was Bai Fen''s reply...


    "Mother, allow Bai Jun to do things for herself, that way, she would grow and learn the ways of the world."


    "How was the test, what did they ask you to do?." Bai Fen inquired with a worried gaze. She was afraid that her daughter wasn''t given enough time to prepare for the test.


    Bai Jun exined everything to her and asked her not to worry. Since her daughter sounded so confident, Bai Fen felt rest assured.


    "Which dress did you make?." Bai Fen asked curiously.


    "The same dress that gave me an award." Bai Jun replied with a smug look.


    The reason she was so confident, was because she could make that dress without troubles, as she suffered a lot while creating it, and the little help she got back then, was stuck to her head, so Fu Hua''s test, favored her.


    Bai Fen felt really proud of her daughter and ushered her into the house so she could freshen up and have some tea.


    Jia Li slept deeply that even after Fu Hua came back, she was still asleep.


    Jasmine was awake and was crying when Fu Hua came back home. Fu Hee was trying her best to console the little one, but it wasn''t possible, as Jasmine was looking for someone.


    Fu Hua had a worried look as he quickly walked towards his mother and his crying child.


    "Mum, why is she crying? Has she eaten?." Fu Hua asked as he dropped his jacket and his work bag on the sofa, before stretching his hands to take his crying daughter in his arms.


    "She refused to eat, she misses her mother, but I can''t take her to the room, because Jia Li is still sleeping." Fu Hee replied.


    Jasmine reduced her wailing to a sob. Her tender cheeks were stained with tears as sheid her head on her father''s chest. The little one looked really pitiable now.


    "How long has Jia Li been sleeping for?." Fu Hua asked as he wiped Jasmine''s tears with her face towel.


    "It''s been over 3 hours now. I guess she must be really exhausted from the contest." Fu Hee said with a sigh. She really felt for the mother and daughter.


    "Mum, I will take Jasmine upstairs, please ask the servant to bring some snacks upstairs for my wife." Fu Hua said before walking away with Jasmine.


    Fu Hee sighed as she watched the father and daughter walk away. She informed housekeeper Zu to prepare some light snacks for Jia Li.


    Jia Li was still sleeping soundly when Fu Hua entered the room with the sobbing little girl. Fu Hua walked straight to the bed and put the little girl down.


    Jasmine immediately reached out to grab Jia Li''s dress while sobbing, while Fu Hua whispered to Jia Li, "Sweetheart, wake up!."

 Chapter 360 - Consolation Prizes

    <h4>Chapter 360 - Constion Prizes</h4>


    Jia Li heard Jasmine''s sobs, and Fu Hua''s voice, she also felt her dress being pulled from behind, and she slowly opened her eyes and turned over, only to see her little bun in tears and Fu Hua who had his gaze on her.


    Jia Li sat up quickly and took the little girl in her arms. "Jasmine, why are you crying?." She asked with a worried gaze as she wiped her tears.


    "She missed you. She hasn''t seen you in more than 24 hours." Fu Hua said to her.


    "Awwnn... don''t cry, baby." Jia Li said to Jasmine as her heart melted. She felt so loved that her little one missed her.


    Jasmine sobbed and hugged her mother tightly. She was happy to see her mother, but also, she couldn''t stop her tears.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua spent some time consoling the little girl before she stopped crying.


    "Mum said that Jasmine hasn''t eaten yet, she refused to eat her food because she was looking for you." Fu Hua said with a smile as he watched the mother and daughter holding themselves.


    "My baby must have suffered a lot. Jasmine, mummy is sorry for leaving you for so long, I will give you some milk now." Jia Li said as she adjusted her position, so she could breastfeed Jasmine.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua felt rxed after the little bun started sucking her mother''s breast. Fu Hua smiled when Jasmine reached out to grab the breast for herself and closed her eyes.


    "She must be really hungry." Jia Li said with a smile.


    "I''m sorry for stressing you, but it was part, and one of the things you will face in FJ, but it wouldn''t be like this. You may have to work overtime, only when there is a serious business." Fu Hua said to her.


    "I understand." Jia Li said with a sigh.


    "Did you speak to Sunny?." Fu Hua asked.


    "No, we didn''t have time to speak, but she kept staring at me. I just hope she wouldn''t hate me for rejecting her back then." Jia Li said in a worried tone.


    There was really no time to exchange words with Sunny, because of the surprise contest. But the way Sunny kept ncing at her while she worked, was weird.


    She felt guilty about rejecting Sunny back then, and right now, she felt bad about Sunny''s feelings about her. She wasn''t sure if Sunny still liked her, and would still be interested in her.


    "You rejected the proposal of the Chief Designer in FJ, what are you expecting?." Fu Hua asked.


    "Wait, is it really that bad?." Jia Li asked with a frown. She was really worried about this matter. She liked Sunny too and would like to learn a lot from her, but she will feel bothered if Sunny doesn''t like her anymore.


    Fu Hua chuckled and pinched her cheeks gently. "Look how worried you are, I was only joking. Sunny is not that kind of person. If you exin things to her, she will understand."


    "Thank goodness, now I know what to say." Jia Li said and sighed in relief, before ncing at her little bun who seemed to be in a good mood.


    The little bun had her eyes closed and was still sucking while her legs were raised.


    Some minutester, Mei knocked and only came in after receiving permission to do so. After serving the light snacks, she left with the trolley.


    Remembering Bai Jun, and that was she a part of the finalists for thepetition, Jia Li asked Fu Hua, "Do you know the other 29 finalists from thepetition?."


    Jia Li asked because she wanted to know if Fu Hua was aware of Bai Jun joining thepetition.


    "I don''t know who they are. I am not directly involved in thepetition, there is a team for that. Why are you asking, did anyone mess with you?." Fu Hua asked with creased brows. He was ready to deal with anyone that dared to mess with his wife.


    Jia Li smiled and said there was nothing like that, she only asked because she was curious.


    ''It looks like he doesn''t know about it.'' Jia Li thought to herself.


    When Jasmine finished sucking the other breast, Jia Li transferred her to the other one, so she could eat to her fill.


    Fu Hua decided to feed Jia Li, as it looked like Jasmine will take a while to finish eating. So while Jasmine sucked her milk, Fu Hua fed Jia Li.


    When Jasmine finished eating her eyes were still open, and it didn''t look like she was going to sleep any time soon, so Jia Li asked Fu Hua to freshen up, while she takes an evening stroll with Jasmine.


    After taking an evening stroll, Jia Li spent time, talking and ying with her little bun.


    Currently, Jia Li was sitting with Jasmine on her mat. The little bun was sitting on her own, with her gaze on her toy. She was thinking of a way to get it.


    Jia Li cheered her from the side and asked her to go and get it.


    "Come on Jasmine, you can do it, go girl!." Jia Li said as she pped her hands excitedly.


    Jasmine giggled and pped her hands with her gaze on her mother, before following her fingers to look at her toy.


    Jasmine decided that it was time to get her toy, so she started moving her butts forward to get her toy. As she got closer, Jia Li pushed her toy forward, so she would continue to attempt to get it.


    It was truly an awesome evening for the mother and daughter.


    "When will the results be out?." Jia Li asked Fu Hua after she finally put the little bun to sleep.


    "Tomorrow. We can''t dy with the announcement, so that those who didn''t make it, will be sent back home with their constion prizes." Fu Hua replied.


    "There are constion prizes?." Jia Li asked in surprise. Sunny never mentioned anything like that when giving out the instructions for the contests.


    "Yes. The 10 people who didn''t make it, will be going home with rmendation letters. At least they wouldn''t have to suffer to get a good job in a bigpany." Fu Hua said.


    "That''s so thoughtful of you." Jia Li said with a smile.. She knew it would be heartbreaking for those that didn''t make it to go back home aftering down to FJ.

 Chapter 361 - Out To Celebrate

    <h4>Chapter 361 - Out To Celebrate</h4>


    Fu Hua was amazed at how confident Jia Li was in herself. She wasn''t thinking that she would be amongst the 10 people that would go home, and he was proud of her for that mindset.


    It''s been 2 days since FJ announced their final results, and sent the 10 designers that didn''t make it, back home, with a free flight, and their rmendation letters.


    Surprisingly or not surprisingly, Bai Jun made it to FJ somehow. She almost didn''t make it, because she was the 21st person ording to ranks, but the 20th person had a crazy allergic reaction, that caused her to be hospitalized.


    FJ had to request for her medical history only to discover that she had a life-threatening disease that needed to be treated, so she was sent back to her country, and reced with Bai Jun.


    Bai Jun only came to know of this after Chyou met with her and her mother, and told them about it.


    Bai Jun almost had a heart attack that she almost couldn''t make it, if that foreigner''s allergic reactions didn''t break out at the right time.


    After the results for thest contest were announced, Fu Hua took Jia Li out for hopping and for dinner.


    "Congrattions on getting into FJ!." Fu Hua said to Jia Li with a smile. He was really proud of his wife for getting 3rd ce in the contest.


    While he was at work, he couldn''t wait toe back home, so he could give her a big hug and a deep kiss. Now finally at home, he got to do the things he imagined he would do.


    Jia Li couldn''t get enough of his kisses as she hugged his waist with a smile and let him continue to ravish her lips.


    Atst, when Fu Hua released her, her lips were slightly swollen.


    "Let''s go out to shop for some clothes, and then we can have dinner in the ce I reserved." Fu Hua said with his hands ced on her shoulders. He still had that big smile on his face.


    "Do I get to make my own choices at the mall?." Jia Li asked with a wink. Fu Hua was used to picking out dresses for her, but this time around, she wanted to make her picks. She was going to use this opportunity to shop for work outfits.


    "Of course, but we will do it together." Fu Hua replied with a smirk.


    Jia Li could only chuckle at the kind of reply she received. But she knew if she acted sweetly with him, he would agree to anything she wants, after all, she has made him a proud husband.


    Quickly, Jia Li got into the shower to bathe, but someone did not allow her to bathe in peace.


    It hasn''t been up to a minute that she undressed and got into the shower that Fu Hua came to find her.


    Jia Li was now used to being naked in front of him, so she was only surprised that he came to join her. Instead of hiding her body from him like she used to, she shifted, so he could have some space to himself.


    "Don''t try anything funny, I don''t have the energy for it." Jia Li warned with a smile as his hands crept up to her upper body while standing behind her.


    A smirk formed on his lips as he whispered to her ear, "How do you know I was going to do something funny?."


    "Your hands don''t stay one ce, and your eyes reveal your evil intentions towards me." Jia Li replied as she turned on the shower ????


    As the water sshed on their naked bodies, Fu Hua withdrew from her and picked up the soap ????? and sponge ????


    "I don''t have any evil intentions towards you, I just wanted to fill you up, but it''s okay, I can still do that next time." Fu Hua replied.


    Fu Hua kept his hands to himself while they showered. It was rare for him to be obedient, and Jia Li loved him that way.


    After showering, they got dressed, and sneaked out of the house, so that Jasmine wouldn''t see them and start crying.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua first went to the mall ???? to shop for lots of clothes, shoes, and bags. The only thing Jia Li did, was to stop Fu Hua from getting her very expensive clothes. Since she would be working in FJ, it would be very easy to recognize the brand and prize of her outfits, and she didn''t want that.


    Fu Hua understood and decided to pay attention to the clothes he picked for her.


    Jia Li dragged her tired body after changing out of thest dress he picked for her. She was the only one tired. All Fu Hua did, was sit on the king''s chair and drink some tea while waiting for her to change into each of the new dresses, and show them to him.


    After paying for the stuff with his ck card, Fu Hua held Jia Li by the waist and walked out of the mall, while their goods were being processed to be delivered to their house.


    Fu Hua took Jia Li for a candlelight dinner. He orders most of her favorite food, so she could enjoy them He let her ce special orders for whatever she wanted.


    "Can I drink some Champagne?." Jia Li asked with her gaze on the bottle of champagne.


    "No you can''t, you''re still breastfeeding." Fu Hua said as he rejected her request.


    "But that''s not fair! You popped the champagne to celebrate my getting into FJ, but you''re drinking it alone." Jia Li said with pouted lips. She only thought it would be unfair if she didn''t get to have a taste.


    "Okay, I will get you something else, since you feel like drinking tonight." Fu Hua said and orders red wine for her.


    Even if she didn''t get to drink the champagne because of its alcoholic content, she was still happy at being able to drink red wine ????


    "I would be happy if you get drunk, so I can take advantage of you!." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    Jia Li has been drinking more, instead of eating her food, so he said that to scare her, but who knew it wouldn''t work?

 Chapter 362 - Bai Juns Tongue Slips

    <h4>Chapter 362 - Bai Jun''s Tongue Slips</h4>


    "You can''t do anything to me, because I will be so drunk that I would sleep on our way back home." Jia Li said with a smirk. She was sure that he wouldn''t do anything to her if she was too drunk, hence, her high level of confidence.


    "I can''t say if you are smart or lucky. Alright, don''t drink too much. You have tomorrow to rest, and the day after it, you have to start making preparations for your first day at work." Fu Hua said to her.


    "What about the contract?." Jia Li asked. This is because they haven''t signed it yet.


    "You all will sign the contract on your first day at work. The 20 of you will be on probation for 2 months. At the end of the 2 months, you will all be graded ording to your input. Those with 70 fewer points will go another probation and not get to partake in major events in FJ."


    What Fu Hua was saying, in summary, is this... The 5 years contract they were to sign will only be effective if they passed from 70 points and above when graded individually, so those that didn''t have up to 70 points at the end of 2 months (March) will repeat the probation period, and the 5? years contract, automatically canceled.


    FJ sure wasplicated, or maybe, their Boss was the one who had aplicated mindset.


    After dinner, Fu Hua drove Jia Li back home to get some rest, while he checked on their daughter before going back to join Jia Li in the room.


    Bai Jun was so excited about making it into FJ that she couldn''t keep her mouth shut. She was so happy that she let one of her close friends know about it.


    It was after she said it that she realized she had made a huge mistake.


    "Ahm, don''t let anyone know about this yet until I inform them myself, okay?." Bai Jun said to her friend.


    "What''s the use of hiding it from everyone? But it''s okay, I will let you announce the news yourself. Don''t forget my birthday is in 3 days,e with a big gift." Ahm said with a happy voice.


    "I know, I will definitely get you a big gift. Alright, I have to go now, bye..." Bai Jun said before ending their conversation.


    3 days, was Saturday, it wasn''t far, but Bai Jun hoped that Ahm wouldn''t tell anyone about her getting into FJ.


    At this point, Bai Jun was scared of consulting her mother for fear of getting scolded, so she remained calm about it.


    Two days to the birthday party, the recruits of FJ were addressed about the condition to be reached for the 5 years contract to stand even after they had signed it.


    It felt like a never-ending task for them to properly work for FJ, but given how big FJ was in the fashion industry, they didn''t think too much about the effort they have to put in, in other to be recognized.


    After signing their contracts, they were all assigned to their desks, which had their names on them.


    Everyone one of them was happy to have their work desks, and some couldn''t help taking pictures of themselves on their new work desk.


    After settling the newbies, Sunny, and the deputy creative directors, went for a meeting, which concerned the newbies.


    Fu Hua had another meeting with an important foreign investor, so he didn''t join them for the meeting.


    The two newbies were to be split into 3 groups, and each group would be headed by one leader from the creative department.


    Sunny, Chyou, and the second deputy chief designer, were to head a group, each.


    (FJ has 2 deputies from the creative arts department, Chyou was the first, and there was a male, named mike)


    The groups were not shared, as each director had to pick the people they wanted under them, one after the order.


    Everyone had their eyes on the Top 3 recruits, as no one would want to ignore them, but it wasn''t possible for one director to have all 3 of them, or 2, they could only have one.


    Sunny was the first to pick since she was the Chief Creative Arts director. Sunny nced at the pictures of the Top 3 recruits, with Jia Li being the 3rd one.


    Without wasting time, she picked Jia Li to be under her after staring at her picture for 3 seconds. Sunny''s pick was surprising to the others because they thought she would pick the No. 1 on the chart.


    Since Sunny had made her first choice, Chyou went on to pick the first person on the chart who was French, while Mike went on to pick the 2nd person on the chart who was a guy.


    With this method, the creative art directors picked their students. At the end of the day, Sunny picked 6 people under her, while Chyou and Mike picked 7 people each.


    During the picking, Bai Jun was thest to be considered. Chyou didn''t want Bai Jun to work under her, so she picked the other person, and left her to be under Mike.


    Only if Bai Jun knew how she ended up being under her current teacher, she would have gone crazy a long time ago.


    Now that their teachers were announced, the newbies knew who they should report to directly.


    Jia Li was surprised to learn that she was under Sunny. She had no idea how everything was arranged, but she liked it since her wish to receive lessons under Sunny, worked out.


    On the first day at work, Sunny assigned some of the older Fashion designers to show the newbies around their floor, so they could get familiar with their new working environment.


    Bai Jun was hoping that she would get to run into Fu Hua, but her wishes didn''te through. She could only sigh in regret as they walked back to their desks.


    Bai Jun was not thinking that Fu Hua would send her away, as she thought that it was the old man of the Fu family who would do that since he was the one that asked her grandmother to stay away from their family, so she wasn''t bothered about Fu Hua seeing her.

 Chapter 363 - Help You Unleash Them

    <h4>Chapter 363 - Help You Unleash Them</h4>


    Before the close of the day, Chyou announced the ss schedule to the newbies. Every week, They would have 3 sses to attend.


    Now, the most amazing news to these interns, was that FJ''s boss, has a ss to teach them, but Chyou didn''t specify more on the topic and the date for it, but regardless of the less information on it, the interns were very happy and were expectant of that blessed day toe.


    Bai Jun seemed to be the happiest amongst all of the interns, as she couldn''t hide her grin. When Jia Li saw that she (Bai Jun) was more excited than her, some thoughts began to drop in her head.


    ''Does she still fancy my husband?.'' Jia Li thought. She has known since, that Bai Jun was the person Fu Hee arranged for Fu Hua to marry back then, but since it has been a long time, and they both had a child, it never urred to Jia Li that Bai Jun might still have feelings for Fu Hua.


    Jia Li and Bai Jun''s gazes met, and thetter sneered at her before moving her gaze elsewhere. With this little action, the doubt Jia Li had, began to have a foothold.


    After work hours, as Jia Li was packing her things to leave, Someone came to inform her that Sunny was asking for her.


    "I will be there in a minute." Jia Li said as she hurried up with packing up her things, while Bai Jun nced over in envy.


    For Jia Li to be under someone like Sunny who Bai Jun admired, thetter was bound to be jealous, especially with the fact that Jia Li was her enemy.


    Bai Jun hoped that Jia Li would get into trouble soon.


    After picking up her things, Jia Li went to Sunny''s office to meet her.


    "Miss Sunny." Jia Li knocked and walked in.


    "Have a seat," Sunny said while gesturing to her.


    After Jia Li sat down, she waited for Sunny to say the reason she called for her, and without wasting time, Sunny cut to the chase.


    "How was your first day here?." Sunny asked with a normal gaze on Jia Li.


    "It was fine, thank you!." Jia Li replied in a polite tone. Honestly, she was a bit nervous to be sitting in front of Sunny, but she tried very hard to look and soundposed.


    "I called you here to find out the reason you didn''t work in anywhere for more than a year. I just went through your resum¨¦ properly and discovered it. I want to know why someone like you with untapped potentials would take that risky decision after rejecting my offer." Sunny asked as she twirled the pen in her hand, with her gaze still on Jia Li.


    Sunny was curious to know why Jia Li didn''t work in anypany for a year, as it was such a long time for her to be forgotten if not that FJ still remembered her and coborated with her a few times.


    Since Sunny liked Jia Li, she was very concerned about her, as she believed that she was talented and had a lot of potentials in her.


    Jia Li already knew that Sunny was going to ask her that question since Fu Hua had already tipped her off, so she already had an answer to that question.


    A few minutester, Jia Li walked out of her office, and by then, there were only a few people still on their desks. Then as for her fellow interns, they had already left.


    The reason Jia Li gave to Sunny was very simple. She said she had a serious family issue that didn''t give her the chance to work, and that was the reason she rejected her proposal back then.


    Sunny looked disappointed ???? a fate hearing Jia Li''s reason, but she still said to Jia Li, "I hope your family issue is over, and nothing will hinder your attention and dedication while working in FJ?."


    Jia Li was sure to give a positive response, which Sunny epted wholeheartedly.


    "I see a lot of potential in you, and that''s the reason I put you under me so I can help you to unleash them all, don''t disappoint me."


    Those words were Sunny''sst sentence to Jia Li before dismissing her, and these words were still ringing in Jia Li''s head as she made her way to the underground car park.


    Today, she came in her car, so she was driving herself back home.


    Jia Li couldn''t wait to ask Fu Hua about the sses he would teach, and so that was the first thing she asked after weing him back home.


    "I won''t tell you, anticipate." Fu Hua said with a smirk. He refused to tell Jia Li the course he would be handling, and the date he woulde to teach them.


    "Why not? You need to tell me so that I wouldn''t disappoint you with my dressing." Jia Li said with a frown, but Fu Hua understood that this was her trick so she could get him to spill everything out, but it didn''t work on him.


    Jia Li pouted and hit him on his shoulder before walking away to take a walk with Jasmine in her stroller.


    It has been a while since Jia Li yed with her dogs, so she called them out. What used to be her puppies, Avery and Archie, were quickly growing into adults.


    Jasmine seemed to be a dog lover like her mother because she was very excited when she saw the dogs barking and running towards her. The little bun babbled excitedly and stretched out her hands towards them.


    Jia Li smiled as she stopped the stroller and squat beside it, waiting for Ocean and her children, toe closer.


    Ocean first ran to Jia Li to receive hugs and pats from her. Jia Li rubbed Ocean''s hair, back, and tummy with an excited smile.


    As for Avery and Archie, they knew better than not to go to Jia Li''s side, since their mother was there, so they ran to the little bun and surrounded her.


    Jasmine was all smiles as she reached out her hands to touch Avery and Archie, who but have her tiny palms a few licks.

 Chapter 364 - Princess, Come To Daddy

    <h4>Chapter 364 - Princess, Come To Daddy</h4>


    As Jasmine babbled on and on, Avery and Archie barked, in a way ofmunicating with her. Jia Li was all smiles as she watched them y.


    Fu Hua was busy in the workshop, so he couldn''t join his wife and daughter outside. As the Boss of FJ, he was constantly following up with trends and finding innovative ideas for the clothing designs.


    In the backyard, Mei sprayed the mat on the grass and put some of Jasmine''s toys on them, while Jia Li put the little bun on the mat, with the pets, surrounding them.


    Since Jasmine could sit on her own, Jia Li let her y with her toys, while shey beside her with a fashion magazine in her hand.


    It wasn''t that cold outside but Jia Li still wanted them to spend a few minutes outside before going in for dinner. In order to keep up with time, Jia Li told Mei to tell her when 15 minutes was up, so they could all go back inside.


    The little girl was all covered up, and she looked so cute as she babbled away. Jia Li couldn''t help ncing at her with a smile.


    "You sure talk a lot! Give me a kiss." Jia Li said while pointing to her cheek. The little bun giggled and continued hitting her toy with her hands.


    "Jasmine, I want a kiss! Kiss mummy." Jia Li said as she leaned towards the little girl. Jasmine was looked excited as she brought her hands towards her mother''s face and touched it.


    The little bun stared at a few strands of her hair in amazement and went on to touch it.


    "What are you..." Before Jia Li could finish her statement the little bun had already leaned in to put the few strands of hair in her mouth.


    "Yah! Stop it!" Jia Li said in amanding tone but it looks like the little girl wasn''t going to listen because she didn''t flinch.


    Mei who was standing by the side had toe to the rescue but that made the little bun start crying.


    Finally, Jia Li sat up and chided the little bun. "Jasmine, why are you crying? You can''t eat hair, it''s not good!"


    Jasmine continued to cry and that alone gave Jia Li a big headache.


    "Why are you crying, no one hit you. Do you want your daddy and your grandma to think I hit you?"


    Ocean and her pups had their gazes on Jasmine and they made sounds of protest. They couldn''t inch closer tofort the little girl because Jia Li forbid them from climbing on the mat.


    Jasmine reduced her wails to sobs as she put her fingers inside her mouth. Jia Li sighed seeing how pitiful her daughter looked. Not being able to stand it, Jia Li lifted her from the mat.


    "It''s time to go back inside the house." Jia Li said as sheforted the little girl a bit.


    When Jasmine stopped crying, Jia Li talked to her in a soft loving tone. "Jasmine, you can''t eat Mummy''s hair and you can''t eat other people''s hair too, it''s dirty."


    Jasmine had her eyes locked on her, it was as if she was trying to make sense of what her mother was saying.


    "Did you hear me?" Jia Li asked but all she got was the same gaze from the little bun, shortly before she looked away.


    Ocean, Avery and Archie followed Jia Li to the entrance of the house, before following her instruction to return to their kennel.


    The little bun who has just been warned by her mother was currently trying to eat her mother''s jacket, while still in her embrace.


    No matter what Jia Li said to her, the little bun wouldn''t stop and when she pushed her face upwards, the little bun started to cry again.


    "You haven''t told me what you want from me." Jia Li said with a tired gaze as she climbed up the stairs with the little bun in her arms.


    Thinking that Fu Hua was still in the workshop, she went there to look for him but she didn''t find him, so she went to his bedroom, only to see him lying shirtless on his bed and his phone in his hand.


    When Jia Li walked in, Fu Hua raised his head to look at her with a smile. "You''re back?"


    "Yes, I brought your daughter for you." Jia Li replied as she walked up to the bed to hand over the little bun to him, who knew that Jasmine would refuse.


    Fu Hua chuckled when Jasmine refused toe down, as she held onto her mother''s clothes tightly.


    Jia Li on the other hand did not find it funny. "Are you kidding me?"


    Jasmine hid her face in Jia Li''s chest and refused to look up. The little bun was ying games with her mother.


    Fu Hua saw that Jia Li was annoyed and said to her with a smile, "You didn''t bond well?"


    "As if? I chided her for eating my hair and she started crying, so I had to bring her inside." Jia Li replied.


    From Jia Li''s response, he could tell that the mother and daughter pair were at odds. He understood what Jasmine was trying to do. The little child who would be 6 months old soon, knew she had offended her mother and didn''t want to leave her embrace.


    The little bun was really too smart for her age.


    Jia Li saw this, as Jasmine punishing her for not letting her eat her hair and jacket but Fu Hua saw and thought differently.


    Fu Hua nced at his little bun and couldn''t help chuckling. "Princess,e to daddy." He said as he touched her little fingers.


    Jasmine nced at him but still refused to move. Jia Li sighed and said to her, "Jasmine, I want to you use the bathroom, when Ie out, I will give you some milk, is that okay?"


    "Are you bribing her with her food?" Fu Hua asked with a smiling gaze.


    "Shhhh... she can hear you... it''s not as if I have too many choices. I don''t want her to start crying, it''s so annoying.." Jia Li replied.

 Chapter 365 - Body As A Playground

    <h4>Chapter 365 - Body As A yground</h4>


    Atst, Jasmine agreed to let her father carry her after Jia Li kissed her on her cheek and urged her.


    "Why are you shirtless?" Jia Li asked after handing the little bun to him.


    "I felt so hot, so..." Fu Hua said with a wink.


    "Please take off her jacket and cap, I will be right back." Jia Li said and walked into the inner room.


    After Jia Li disappeared, Jasmine turned her gaze to her father. The way she looked at him so innocently, made Fu Hua smile and kiss her all over her face.


    "Princess, you''re so cute, just like your mother." Fu Hua said as he made her sit on the bed, before going on to take off her thick clothes.


    The little bun seemed to not be in the mood tough or y with her father.


    As Fu Hua took off her jackets, gloves and cap, he said to her, "Princess, are you sad? Don''t be, your mother is not angry with you, even if she is, it won''tst for long. Cheer up and y with me."


    After putting away her clothes on the other side of the bed, Fu Huaid down beside the little bun, with his head on his pillow.


    Jasmine was still sitting with her gaze on him and her eyes wandering over his naked upper body as she slowly put her fingers in her mouth.


    The little bun must be so fascinated by her father''s naked upper body because this was the first time she was seeing it.


    Fu Hua couldn''t get enough of her cuteness and leaned in to kiss her cheeks before he got distracted with a work-rted call.


    On the other hand, when Jia Li finished using the bathroom, she went into the walk-in closet, to take off her thick clothes and saw some of Fu Hua''s clothes on the chair and she decided to help him fold them.


    In the bedroom, the little girl was already tired from theck of attention and she seemed hungry. With her father still on the phone, her gaze went to his chest again? but this time around, her gaze was resting precisely on his nipples.


    The little bun must have mistaken her father''s rock-hard chest because she put her hands on his body and leaned in to try and put her mouth on it but Fu Hua was in time to stop her.


    "Hey! Princess..." Fu Hua said with a smile while he was still on call. He was surprised at what his daughter was about to do.


    The little bun nced at him with pouted lips and seeing that she was about to start crying, Fu Hua caressed her hair and cheeks tofort her, before his full attention went back to the important call.


    Jasmine was only calm for a bit before her gaze went back to her father''s nipple again. This time around without warning, she put her lips on it to suck it.


    Fu Hua was so shocked because he was so into the call that he forgot about Jasmine. He couldn''t push the little bun away and now, his attention was divided while speaking to the foreign investor.


    When Jasmine noticed that no milk wasing out from her father''s nipple, she raised her face, and nced at it, before curiously putting her fingers on it.


    Fu Hua felt tickled because his little princess was touching him curiously and the nipple was a sensitive part of his body.


    Since Fu Hua was already concluding with the person on phone, he held hisughter in and gently pushed the little bun''s fingers away.


    Jasmine became annoyed and pouted her lips. She was very ready to start crying again, so Fu Hua had to allow her to do what she wanted while praying that Jia Li woulde out quickly.


    The little bun nced at her father who had a smiling gaze on her. That smile was a green ticket to do what she wanted, so again, she put her small mouth on his nipple again.


    Fu Hua didn''t have to push her away because Jasmine raised her head and started crying while she reached out to touch his nipple. She really wanted her milk.


    "Princess, mummy ising okay?" Fu Hua said to the little bun in a gentle tone, as he can tell how hungry she was.


    "Your child is with you? Please think about my proposal, we will talk tomorrow." The person on the other side of the phone said.


    Fu Hua agreed and ended the call. Dropping his phone on the bed, he lifted the little girl in his arms and tried tofort her. As Jasmine didn''t look like she would stop crying any time soon, Fu Hua called for Jia Li.


    "Sweetheart, the baby is hungry!"


    Turning back to his crying daughter, Fu Hua said to her in a gentle tone, "Princess, I don''t have any milk but your mum has a lot of it, she will be here soon."


    In less than a minute, Jia Li came out to see her little bun in tears. And with a frown, she walked to the bed while asking, "Why is she crying?"


    "She is hungry. Just now while I was on a call, she put her mouth on my nipple." Fu Hua said as he handed the little girl over to her.


    As Jia Li sat on the bed, Fu Hua put some pillows behind her back, so she could sitfortably and breastfeed their daughter.


    "It''s not her fault, your chest muscles can easily be mistaken as breasts, by babies." Jia Li said as she brought out her right breast for Jasmine to suck on it.


    Fu Hua smiled at the way the little bun hungrily grabbed the breast and put her mouth on it.


    Looking at how the little bun rxed and raised her leg while sucking hungrily, Fu Hua chuckled. "She is so funny!"


    "You and your daughter take my body as a yground, where you can try different styles and positions with." Jia Li said as she rolled her eyes.


    Fu Hua winked at her and said, "Don''t you find it exciting?"


    "Should I climb on your body and try different styles on it, so you can see for yourself if it is exciting or not?" Jia Li asked with a smile that was not a smile.

 Chapter 366 - FangSus Crush

    <h4>Chapter 366 - FangSu''s Crush</h4>


    "I would love for us to give it a try." Fu Hua said with a wink. Which normal man wouldn''t ept that kind of invitation from his wife?


    "Hooligan!" Jia Li said with a re.


    "Why are you ming me? You were the one that gave the suggestion and as a good husband, I have to listen to my wife." Fu Hua said with a carefree smile.


    "I can''t argue with you. I''m hungry." Jia Li said to him.


    "I will ask the kitchen to serve our dinner here, who knows when the baby will be through." Fu Hua said as he got off the bed.


    Jia Li nced at the little chubby bun that was staring at her and sighed, "I don''t think she will stop anytime soon, I will just eat here."


    Jia Li knew that it would be war if she tried to remove Jasmine''s mouth from her breasts. The little bun will surely disrupt the peace in the house with her cries and Jia Li didn''t want that.


    Again tonight, Fu Hua fed Jia Li while she concentrated on feeding their little bun, who was now sucking from the other breast.


    "Jia Li, you have to pump enough milk for the baby tonight and tomorrow. You can''t bete for work and you need to keep a track record bying to work early, it will help to boost your score after the probation." Fu Hua advised.


    "Wouldn''t it be unfair to us that have toe to work by ourselves? The others leaving in the estate FJ arranged,e to work in the bus FJ arranged, so they are bound to be to work on time." Jia Li said to him.


    "That''s not true. The bus that goes to pick them, arrives at a particr time and leaves 10 minutester, so if anyone iste, the bus will leave when the timees, it is just that they are taking good advantage of the free ride." Fu Hua exined.


    "Okay, I got it. I wish Jasmine will sleep on time today, so I can sleep early and wake up early to get ready for work." Jia Li said with her face on the little bun.


    "Don''t worry too much, we are here to look after Jasmine with you." Fu Hua said to her. Jia Li was worrying like she was the only one that has to look after her little bun while forgetting that she had other people that could help her.


    After feeding the little bun, Jia Li took her to the nursery to get her all cleaned up before Fu Hee took over to put her to sleep.


    "You can go and rest, she will stay with me tonight. You only need to bring her milk to me, so she can eat in the middle of the night." Fu Hee said with the sleeping Jasmine in her embrace.


    "Thank you, Mum!" Jia Li said.


    After pumping enough milk for Jasmine, Jia Li went straight to bed with Fu Hua hugging her from behind.


    The next morning, Jia Li washed up and went to take the little bun, so she could breastfeed her before leaving the house...


    Having learned her lesson, Jia Li didn''t leave the house in Jasmine''s presence. She sneaked away when the little bun was not watching and after she made it outside the house, she prayed silently before getting into her car.


    Saturday came really fast. Since Bai Jun was expecting that FangSu would be attending the party, she decided to look her best, so she took her time with her makeup and dressing.


    FangSu got to the birthday party before Bai Jun. And as the party has not started with full swing, Bai Jun and some of her friends and acquaintances were sitting and chatting happily over a ss of wine, when someone walked straight to greet them, he was an old ssmate of FangSu and he came to greet her.


    FangSu''s mood became brighter when she saw Zhang Junjie make his way over.


    "Your crush ising." One of the girls whispered and FangSu blushed.


    When Zhang Junjie walked over, he greeted thedies before fixing his gaze on FangSu to greet her specially.


    This was the first time Zhang Junjie was showing her any special attention, so FangSu was surprised but she quickly pulled herself together and greeted him back.


    "I just came to say hello, I will join the guys over there." Zhang Junjie said before turning to leave.


    Thedies made fun of FangSu as they chuckled softly. All of them knew that FangSu has always had a crush on Zhang JunJie since they were young. As they were of the same social circle, they easily saw each other when they attended events like this.


    Zhang JunJie was rich, tall and handsome. In fact, every girl in their circle eyed him but since FangSu liked him, they didn''t try to be noticed by him.


    "FangSu, It will be good if your love life will be bright, unlike your career." One of them said with a casual gaze on FangSu.


    The others nced over at FangSu as well, they all knew that she wasn''t working in her family''spany and went to work in a different modelingpany which could be graded under a ''B''


    FangSu frowned as she asked, "Why do you say my career is not bright? I found myself a job in a good modeling agency without any help, so why do you say that?"


    "Has not always been you and Bai Jun''s dream to work in FJ, so what made you change your mind? You didn''t qualify?" Another person asked with a curious gaze.


    FangSu was already annoyed with the kind of questions she was being asked but she tried to maintain her cool.


    "It was my dream but choosing to work elsewhere is my business." FangSu replied.


    "I guess it''s only Bai Jun that works hard to keep her dreams alive." The same person said as she drank from her wine ss.


    FangSu didn''t understand that statement but she was too annoyed to say anything, so she let it slide.


    "Speaking of Bai Jun, I haven''t seen her, when will she arrive?" Another person asked with a smile.


    "Bai Jun is bound to arrivete, she just got into FJ, so of course she would want to doll herself up a bit." Thedy who spoke first said with a low chuckle.


    To FangSu, it felt like she didn''t hear well. Her brows creased in a frown as she interrupted the person that was speaking to ask, "What did you just say?"

 Chapter 367 - FangSu Slaps Bai Jun

    <h4>Chapter 367 - FangSu ps Bai Jun</h4>


    Everyone gave her a weird gaze, as she was acting like she didn''t know what they were talking about.


    "I said Bai Jun got into FJ, why do you look so shocked? Didn''t you know about it?" one of them asked.


    FangSu was on a roller coaster of emotions right now and at any point, she could explode.


    Looking at FangSu''s facial expression, they could tell that she didn''t know about Bai Jun getting into FJ and this made them wonder if they had slipped up big time.


    FangSu gritted her teeth and squeezed her palms. Now, she could tell the reason she was being mocked. Bai Jun must have been saying something behind her back, and now, she got into her family''spany and she hid it from her.


    FangSu was so angry that she couldn''t wait to beat Bai Jun up.


    Knowing how angry she was now, a few of them tried to calm her down.


    "SuSu calm down, maybe Jun wanted to surprise you."


    "Yes...yes... she must have wanted to surprise you, I mean you are best friends, she wouldn''t internationally hide things from you."


    The more they said, the angrier FangSu became.


    Best friends? They don''t hide anything from each other?


    Just then, Ahm walked up to them with Bai Jun looking so beautiful. There was this new aura around her and she couldn''t help but be noticed.


    One of thedies felt that there was going to be a drama soon, so she turned on her phone camera while acting inconspicuous.


    "Bai Jun, Ahm, you''re here!" One of thedies said with a ttering smile.


    "Miss Bai sure took her time to dress up today, look at you, almost taking the ce of the celebrant." Another person said and drank from her wine ss.


    "What are you saying?" Bai Jun said as she blushed. She has not yet seen FangSu because FangSu was back was facing her.


    "Don''t think we don''t know you got into FJ... congrattions by the way!"


    "Yes, Bai Jun congrattions!" Another person said.


    Bai Jun was really surprised at how they came to know about it. There was only one person she told about it and it was Ahm, so she turned to nce at her.


    Ahm seemed to be in a difficult position as she smiled sheepishly and hooked her arms around Bai Jun.


    "Jun, don''t be angry, I only told one person and you know how our circle is, so the news spread. But don''t worry, everyone is happy for you, so there is no need to worry about any envious person."


    Bai Jun was speechless, she didn''t know what to say to her. She was hiding this secret simply because she didn''t want FangSu to find out and now, their whole circle knew about it, which means that sooner, FangSu would find out.


    Bai Jun was thinking about the kind of trouble she just got into. She was thinking about how her efforts would be ruined because of her impulsive actions, not knowing that FangSu was sitting right in front of her.


    Thedies could feel something different about Bai Jun and FangSu''s rtionship. They could tell that Bai Jun was really hiding this news from FangSu and FangSu who has been sitting there quietly was seething in rage.


    There would surely be an interesting show at Ahm''s birthday party.


    Without warning, FangSu whose eyes has turned red and whose heart was filled with bitterness, put down her wine ss ???? on the table carelessly, which was enough to attract the attention of those beside them.


    Bai Jun and Ahm have been wondering who has been sitting there all along and refused to turn around and greet them and it looks like they were going to find out soon.


    With FangSu''s action, Bai Jun''s heart skipped a beat as she was thinking if there was a problem, without seeing FangSu''s face.


    All thedies gathered around, could already feel a change in the atmosphere.


    FangSu slowly got up and turned around to face Bai Jun and Ahm, who were shocked and surprised to see her.


    Bai Jun was surprised to see FangSu and that cold look, already told her that she knew about everything and that caused her to be tense.


    Ahm was surprised to see that it was FangSu that has been sitting there all along. And not being able to tell the situation, she smiled and said to her, "SuSu, you''re here already? I was almost about to make a call to know if you lost your way here."


    Before anyone could blink, FangSu had alreadynded a heavy p on Bai Jun''s cheek. So right now, Bai Jun was holding her left cheek while staring at FangSu in shock.


    Bai Jun couldn''t believe that FangSu would hit her in the face,and in front of everyone before saying anything to her.


    FangSu pping her best friend of so many years was indeed a jaw-dropping scene to behold. The p was enough to attract the attention of everyone in the hall.


    The girls all gasped in shock as they watched FangSu in horror.


    Ahm was rmed seeing the attention of the guests on them, so immediately asked FangSu in a low tone, "FangSu, what do you think you''re doing? Are you trying to ruin my birthday party?"


    "All of you should stay away!" FangSu warned with her gaze on Ahm and thedies, before closing in on Bai Jun, who still had a hand overhear face.


    "Did you get into FJ?" FangSu asked with a menacing gaze on Bai Jun, who seemed tongue-tied.


    Bai Jun wanted to lie but FangSu raised her hands again to hit her and Bai Jun being so afraid of getting hit again, immediately spilled the truth.


    "Yes, I did, I''m sorry that I didn''t tell you about it, I didn''t mean it that way." Bai Jun said with a pitiable look.


    Anyone that just saw what happened now without knowing the underground truth, would think that FangSu was jealous of her best friend for getting into FJ.


    "Bai Jun, you are truly a bitch! How could you do this to me? I asked you several times about thepany you wanted to join and you said definitely not FJ after I told you I was banned!" FangSu said while pointing fingers at Bai Jun.


    This was another revtion from FangSu, as everyone wondered why FangSu was banned when FJ belonged to her family.

 Chapter 368 - FangSu Exposes Bai Jun

    <h4>Chapter 368 - FangSu Exposes Bai Jun</h4>


    "SuSu calm down, Jun didn''t want you to get hurt that must have been the reason she didn''t tell you the truth." Ahm said in worry.


    "Shut up! Are you Bai Jun, do you know her thoughts?!" FangSu asked with an angry gaze on Ahm.


    Ahm still wanted to say something but one of the girls dragged her to their side and whispered for her to stay clear from FangSu''s path.


    Bai Jun brought down her hand and left her red face exposed. She could feel the nces from everyone and she wanted to talk things out with FangSu calmly if only she would agree to it.


    "FangSu, you have misunderstood me, let''s talk outside, you don''t want to ruin Ahm''s birthday right?"


    With Bai Jun saying this, it was as if FangSu brought their feud out without caring about the host''s feelings. With FangSu doing this, it would surely ruin Ahm''s birthday party, so Bai Jun was trying to get everyone to be in her favor and if possible, stop FangSu from saying things she shouldn''t say.


    Bai Jun''s words only infuriated FangSu more, after the guests started to make sense of what she said.


    "You still care about the birthday party after I have seen your ugly face today? Bai Jun, you must have really taken me to be a big fool all this while! Why do you think my brother cklisted me?" FangSu asked with her fingers pointing at Bai Jun.


    Bai Jun was scared that FangSu was really going to spill the beans in front of everyone from their circle and beyond, so she became afraid of losing her reputation and tried to drag FangSu out but failed.


    "FangSu, please let''s talk outside." Bai Jun said in a pleasing tone after FangSu hit her hands away.


    "Why? Are you scared that everyone will know your true colors? You are so shameless, what are you afraid of? I am going to say everything I want to say right here and you will be here to listen, so don''t even think about leaving this ce?" FangSu warned with an ugly facial expression.


    Those interested in gossip hoped that the fight wouldn''t be interrupted, so they could hear and understand everything that happened between Bai Jun and FangSu.


    Ahm forgot that her birthday party was ruined and also became curious as to what happened between the two inseparable best friends.


    Bai Jun was afraid of what FangSu was going to say and she didn''t want her reputation tarnished, so she prayed for someone toe to her rescue. But how could that happen when everyone was interested in knowing how evil she was.


    "Bai Jun, the reason my brother cklisted me and I wasn''t able to get into FJ was because of you and you of all persons, know about it. He banned me because I was fighting for you. Can you tell everyone the reason you put in so much effort to get into FJ?" FangSu asked while pointing at the people that were looking at them.


    As Bai Jun has seen that FangSu was out to ruin her, she started defending herself.


    "FangSu, I have had enough of this! Which fashion designer out there, wouldn''t want to work in FJ? I am not an exception and you know that working in FJ has always been my dream!"


    FangSu chuckled angrily and said, "I see what you are trying to do. You don''t know this, so let me tell you now, I am not that same ignorant girl you used as a shield. Today, I am going to expose the truth of you and your mother which will in return tarnish your reputations!"


    Bai Jun''s facial expression turned ugly. Whatever FangSu wanted to say, shouldn''t be heard by anyone, so she tried to stop her but FangSu pped her again.


    "I''m telling you, don''t you try to interrupt me again, today, everyone must see your true colors." FangSu said with her finger pointing at her.


    Some of the girls pitied Bai Jun and would love to help her but they didn''t want to interfere with the matters of the Fu and Bai families.


    "The reason you wanted to get into FJ is because of my brother. You still have your eyes on my brother even though he is married and has a child! How much more shameless can you be?!" FangSu asked.


    Gasps of shocks escaped from the lips of everyone present, as they couldn''t believe their ears. Bai Jun loved her best friend''s brother who was married?


    "It''s not true! FangSu, you''re lying!" Bai Jun said in denial when she heard the whispers and the fingers pointed at her.


    "I''m lying? We will see about that! I know that the reason you chose to study fashion and design was because of my brother. I fought my family because of you. I went against my grandfather''s authority because of you! I offended my brother because of you! I lost my ce in my family because of you and you stand here and say that I am lying? Have you forgotten about the day I took you to my brother''s house to see him? Have you forgotten what happened?" FangSu asked with an angry gaze.


    Everyone listened and watched as FangSu poured out her grievances.


    "When I made trouble for my sister-inw when I disrespected her in her house, what did you do as a good friend? You didn''t say anything, you only watched on and was happy in your heart while I dealt with your love rival right?" FangSu asked but Bai Jun denied it again.


    "If you were not interested in my brother, why would you agree to visit him when he is already married? You got into FJ so you could have close contact with him, so you can carry out your ns of getting into my family! Your mother made my mum lose her self-respect and her honor in the family all because she was fighting for you to get married to my brother, what did you and your mother say? You also tried to cause a feud between me and my mother and it almost happened if I didn''t see the evidence that you were using me to get what you wanted."


    FangSu went on to expose Bai Jun''s little and major acts and how she used her to achieve her purpose.


    ".... If you didn''t have any harmful invention, why did you get into FJ after my mother and my grandfather came to your house to warn your family to stay away from us?!"

 Chapter 369 - Is this fun to you?

    <h4>Chapter 369 - Is this fun to you?</h4>


    FangSu didn''t spare exposing everything Bai Jun has done and now everyone came to know what kind of person she was.


    Bai Jun couldn''t stand FangSu ruining her reputation, so she said, "Everything is your mother''s fault! She was the person that suggested for me and Brother Hua to get married, so how can you me me for falling for your brother because at that time, he wasn''t even married?"


    "You think you''re smart? Well, my mother didn''t consider the fact that my brother had someone he was going to marry before making that suggestion after your mother kept bringing up the fact that she wanted you to get married soon. Why do you think your mother gave my mother ideas, it was so she would be the one to suggest that you and my brother get married since she was looking for a marriage partner for my brother. Now let me ask you, what happened after you learned that my brother was married? You refused to give up on him even after he has a child, you are one well-raised daughter indeed!" FangSu said as she took a few steps away from her.


    Bai Jun was so angry that she said to FangSu angrily, "FangSu, you will pay for what you did to me today! You dare to embarrass me and my family today, you dared to mock us, I will make you pay for this!"


    FangSu scoffed and said, "I haven''t even made you pay for using, deceiving and dumping me and you are already threatening me! You want to work in FJ, dream on! Go home and wait obediently for my family''s verdict!"


    As FangSu picked her bag and turned to leave, Bai Jun stretched her hands to push her but somebody stopped her.


    "When will you learn to stop?" Zhang Junjie asked with an angry gaze on Bai Jun while holding the hands that were stopping her from pushing FangSu.


    "I will after I have taken my revenge!" Bai Jun said as she struggled to free her hands and it was now that FangSu found out what she was trying to do.


    "You bitch! Did you just try to push me?!" FangSu asked angrily as she came back to p Bai Jun but Zhang Junjie held her back.


    "Miss Fu, I will send you back home." Zhang Junjie said as he pulled FangSu to leave and while she was being pulled away, FangSu said to Bai Jun...


    "Bai Jun, you just wait! I won''t let youe in between my brother and his wife. Go home and wait for my family''s verdict!"


    Bai Jun''s heart was bleeding as she squeezed her nails, which broke and caused bleeding but she didn''t feel the pain, as it couldn''t bepared to the one in her heart.


    "What are you all looking at, the show is over! My birthday party has been ruined by two best friends turned enemies, please eat the food and go back to your homes!" Ahm said as she walked away angrily.


    As everyone started to leave since the show was over, Bai Jun remained standing where she was. And when two of her friends came to her side tofort her, she sent a piercing gaze across their way.


    <i></i>


    "Are you here to make fun of me?!" Bai Jun asked while seething in rage. She hated the guts of those shamelessdies.


    The twodies that came to help her out, were scared of her gaze and immediately tried to exin. "How could we make fun of you? We are concerned about you! FangSu went too far, even if everything she said was true, still, she was wrong by exposing them in front of so many people!"


    "What! What did you two just say?" Bai Jun asked furiously as she couldn''t believe her ears. The people she called friends were obviously making a mockery of her in the name offorting her.


    The twodies didn''t think she said anything wrong and smiled while asking her to go home early to rest and think about what the Fu family was going to do to her.


    Bai Jun was so furious that she swept away the sses of wine on the table that they were drinking before the drama started.


    Ahm saw what Bai Jun did and scoffed. She then told someone to make sure Bai Jun pays thest dime of anything she destroys before leaving.


    Thedy that took the video of the whole drama, went to use the washroom. She sent the video to FangSu and sent her a text under that video.


    ''You owe me one.''


    She knew that FangSu was probably furious wherever she was, so she may not answer her call and that was the reason she sent the text.


    After sending the message out, the youngdy began to watch the video and she couldn''t helpughing, not knowing that someone was in the cubicle next to her.


    When she was done with her business, she paused the video and came out from the cubicle to wash her hands. As she needs to wash her hands, she put her phone down and turned on the tap and to her amazement, the toilet cubicle next to hers, opened and an angry-looking Bai Jun walked out from it.


    The youngdy was so shocked that she almost had a heart attack.


    Bai Jun red at her, before going straight to pick up the phone she left on the desk there.


    "Which video were you watching, let me see." Bai Jun said as she took the phone and yed the video that was paused.


    The owner of the phone was so scared for her life that she tried snatching her phone from Bai Jun but failed.


    "Why are you in a hurry, I just want to see what was so interesting that you had toe in here to watch." Bai Jun said with a smile that was not a smile, before fixing her attention back on the video and was in time to see herself getting pped by FangSu and that caused her mood to change.


    "Is this fun to you?" Bai Jun asked angrily while pointing at the video.

 Chapter 370 - FangSu Makes A Report

    <h4>Chapter 370 - FangSu Makes A Report</h4>


    Thedy was afraid of Bai Jun and kept shaking her head in a negative affirmation while refusing to say anything. But when she wanted to snatch her phone from Bai Jun, Bai Jun threw it on the floor and even stepped on it with her heels.


    Seeing her phone get destroyed, thedy by the name, Mingxia was so angry that she pushed Bai Jun away before bending over to pick her phone with a shattered screen.


    Bai Jun was still angry and immediately pped MingXia''s face after she regained her bnce.


    "Don''t you ever put your filthy hands on me again, don''t ever think about it! This is just a little lesson to teach you how to mind your business and not make fun of every serious situation!"


    After warning her, Bai Jun trotted away and banged the door behind her, leaving the angry Mingxia behind.


    "That bitch just destroyed my new phone!" Mingxia said almost in tears while staring at hertest iPhone she just bought with her money.


    Her phone screen was shattered already and her phone refused toe on.


    "You shameless bitch! You want to destroy the evidence of your two-faced nature? Dream on!" Mingxia cursed angrily.


    She was a bit satisfied that she had already sent the video to FangSu before Bai Jun destroyed her phone and she felt lucky that she didn''t try to call FangSu on phone, otherwise, Bai Jun would have found out about it since she was in the cubicle next to her and who knew what other crazy thing she would have done.


    ncing back at her phone that was destroyed by Bai Jun, Mingxia was furious as she felt her heart ache.


    Bai Jun was very angry after walking out of the washroom. She immediately went to meet with the hotel''s security to delete the footage in the hall so that no one else would get their hands on it.


    After confirming that no one hade to ask for it yet, Bai Jun transferred arge sum of money to them, to have the footage deleted.


    After the sessful transaction, Bai Jun tried to leave in her car but she was stopped by one of the hotel attendants who gave her the bill for the things she broke, asking her to pay for them.


    After ring at her, Bai Jun paid up before she was asked to leave.


    As for FangSu, she kept ranting on her way back home, as Zhang Junjie tried to talk to her but she refused to listen because she just fully realized how foolish she was.


    For the sake of dropping FangSu off, the security at the gate, allowed Zhang Junjie''s car to drive into thepound.


    Before FangSu stepped out of his car, he asked her to calm down before doing anything but his advice was not appreciated.


    "Brother Junjie, thank you for dropping me off." FangSu said before getting of his car. Zhang Junjie could only watch as FangSu walked away without looking back. Sighing, he turned on his car and drove away.


    Zhang Junjie could tell how angry FangSu was after discovering that she was betrayed by her best friend. Imagine being banned by your brother from entering hispany, while your friend who was the reason for that, made ns and got in without informing you? That was disheartening, so he didn''t me FangSu''s actions.


    If Fu Hua knew that Bai Jun also had an interest in working in FJ, he would have cklisted her when he was doing the same to his sister. But it was too bad that he didn''t pay attention to that area, well, things were not toote to fix.


    Immediately Bai Jun walked inside the house, she started calling out for grandfather Fu. Fu ChunHua and Fu Meixu were surprised to see FangSue back from the birthday party so early and her facial expression looked pained.


    "Who knows what happened to her." Fu ChuHua said in wonder.


    "I will go and find out." Fu Meixu said with a wink before following after FangSu.


    In tears, FangSu walked into Grandfather''s study toin to him.


    "Grandfather, you have to bring justice to me and our family!" FangSu said in tears. The tears came from the depths of her heart and it was also a symbol of her pain from betrayal.


    It was rare to see FangSu cry and beg for something these days. For several weeks she has been obedient and has been keeping to herself even though she refused to apologize to the people she offended.


    Thinking that she has done something wrong and had gotten into trouble, Grandfather Fu sighed and asked, "What have you done this time around? Who did you offend at the birthday party you went for?"


    "Grandfather, I didn''t offend anybody but someone won''t stop offending our family! Bai Jun got into FJ!" FangSu revealed in tears.


    Grandfather Fu was taken aback by her report and asked about it just to confirm if he heard her the first time.


    Without wasting time, FangSu exined everything to Grandfather Fu, from the time she started repenting when she learned that Bai Jun was not true to herself, till the aftermath of the birthday party.


    As Grandfather Fu listened, his aura changed. His mood turned heavy as his cold gaze on FangSu.


    "...Grandfather, you have to do something about this! Bai Jun hid this from me because she thought I would ruin her ns of getting into FJ. She is set on getting close to my brother, grandfather, you must stop her!" FangSu cried out.


    Grandfather Fu nced at her briefly before asking, "I thought Bai Jun was your best friend and you wanted her to get close to your brother even when knowing that he was already married, what happened now?"


    FangSu thought that her grandfather wouldn''t do anything to punish Bai Jun and the Bai family, so she quickly knelt on the rugged floor and cried out to him...


    "Grandfather, I was blinded and went against you and everyone in the family and still I refused to learn! Grandfather even if you don''t forgive me, you still have to punish Bai Jun for toying with our family! She went against you and my mother''s warning and got into FJ, the Bai family did not take your words to heart!"

 Chapter 371 - I Will Give You An Explanation

    <h4>Chapter 371 - I Will Give You An Exnation</h4>


    "You came to me because you were betrayed by your friend. If you were not betrayed, you wouldn''t havee to your right senses, by now you would still be supporting your best friend." Grandfather Fu said while pointing at her.


    "Grandfather, I was wrong, I promise not to be rash again. I will also beg my brother and Jia Li to forgive me. But please grandfather, you have to punish Bai Jun!" FangSu said. She didn''t want to think about the possibility of her grandfather not punishing Bai Jun but if he decides to let things go like that, she would kill Bai Jun herself.


    "Get up!" Grandfather Fu said to her and just then, Butler Lu knocked and walked in with Fu Meixu tailing behind him.


    "Lu, connect me to Mrs. Bai immediately." Grandfather Fu instructed and immediately, Butler Lu took out his phone and dialed thendline of the Bai family.


    It didn''t take up to 3 rings before a servant answered the call.


    "This is Butler Lu of the Fu family speaking, please put the old madam on the line, my master wants an audience with her, immediately." Butler Lu said over the phone just like a professional that he was.


    The servant went to Olddy Bai''s side and whispered in her ear, as she was chatting with her friend in the living room.


    "Old Fu is on the line? Why are you keeping him waiting? I will go and answer the call." Olddy Bai said as she got up from the sofa.


    Her old friends seeing that she had an important matter to attend to, bid her farewell before leaving.


    Immediately, Olddy Bai answered the call and greeted in a happy tone, Butler Lu handed the telephone ?? over to grandfather Fu, who immediately took over the conversation.


    "Mrs. Bai, please save your greetings. When my friend was about to leave this world, he asked me to take care of his family but his family which I have been looking after for so many years now turned to bite the hand that fed them, tell me, don''t you think that it''s wrong?" Grandfather Fu asked authoritatively.


    From his tone and the words he just said, Olddy Bai could tell that there was a big problem. She was tensed as she asked, "Old Fu, what has my Bai family done to offend you?"


    "After I came down to your ce to warn you and your family to stay away from my Fu family, you didn''t take my words seriously. Your granddaughter went ahead to enter my family''s property, how should I deal with her?" Grandfather Fu asked as he knocked on his desk angrily.


    He was furious that his words were treated ordinarily by someone who did not have respect for elders.


    "What! That''s not possible! Old Fu, my granddaughter has been looking for a job by herself and I''m sure she didn''t apply to FJ, you must have been mistaken." Old Lad Bai said.


    When she heard grandfather Fu say such a thing, her heart skipped a beat but she refused to believe it. She would rather believe that grandfather Fu made a mistake than to believe that her trusted granddaughter, deceived her.


    Grandfather Fu became more furious as he said, "Are you taking me as a liar? Do you think I will use your granddaughter falsely?"


    Hearing grandfather Fu''s angry tone, Olddy Bai immediately apologized for it.


    "...old Fu, I will give you an exnation. Please give me some time, Jun is not home yet."


    "Mrs. Bai, I will give you time from now till first thing tomorrow before breakfast, to provide an exnation or I will go against my promise to my friend and level your Bai family to nothing!" After those words of threats, Grandfather Fu put down the telephone.


    "Grandfather, why are you still lenient with them? You can''t let them go scot-free this time around!" FangSu said with a deep frown.


    Fu Meixu who has been standing quietly at the side walked over and made her presence known. Now that she understood what was happening, she finally knew why FangSu came toin to their grandfather.


    "Grandfather, I think FangSu is right! The Bai''s keep stepping all over our heads and your words don''t make sense to them anymore. You can''t let them go free this time around."


    "The rotten ones in the Bai family will only use those who give themselves up for it." Grandfather Fu said as he nced over at FangSu. He was implying that Bai Jun willingly submitted herself to be used by them.


    FangSu frowned but didn''t say anything. Although her grandfather was right, still his words hurt. If this was the right time to make fun of FangSu, Fu Meixu would have done that.


    "But grandfather, they can''t evade the punishment this time around. If brother Hua finds out about this, he will surely deal with them without your consent." Fu Meixu said with a serious gaze.


    Fu Meixu wanted the Bai family to be punished because she didn''t like the guts of the people who do not take her family seriously. She believed that her family was powerful and should be respected and it wasn''t for anyone to mess with.


    Grandfather Fu sighed and said to his granddaughters, "It''s not like I won''t punish them. I will and I must. I was only asking for an exnation so that it wouldn''t look like I didn''t want to hear from them and it looks like the olddy of the Bai family is unaware of this, so I have to think deeply about the punishment to give to them."


    "Grandmother Bai doesn''t have a hand in this matter, I''m sure Bai Jun nned this matter out with her mother!" FangSu said angrily.


    "Whether she nned it out alone or with someone, the Bai''s must still be punished! What do they take our family for?" Fu Meixu asked in an annoyed tone.


    "Enough, the two of you should leave already. You are giving me headache." Grandfather Fu said as he shooed them away.


    "Master, should I will get the pain relief drug for you?" Butler Lu asked with a bow.


    "No need.." Grandfather said to him as he watched FangSu and Fu Meixu leave his study reluctantly.

 Chapter 372 - Dont Touch It!

    <h4>Chapter 372 - Don''t Touch It!</h4>


    "Let''s go on a movie date tomorrow!" Jia Li announced to Fu Hua excitedly. She was all smiles as she was so happy.


    "A movie date? That sounds romantic, what made you think of it?" Fu Hua asked while changing Jasmine''s diapers.


    "I thought that we should spend quality time together during weekends since we both go to work during weekdays." Jia Li replied as she took the pack of baby wipes from Jasmine.


    While getting changed, the little girl took the pack of wipes with her small hands and put it inside her mouth, so Jia Li had to take it from her.


    Jasmine nced at her mother and put her fingers in her mouth and babbled. It looked like she was protesting peacefully.


    "You really thought about things properly. I agree with your suggestions. Every weekend, we will try new activities. Let''s go to the park next weekend." Fu Hus suggested with a smile as he finally managed to catch the little bun''s kicking legs.


    Jasmine pouted her lips and kicked her legs and hands with her gaze on her mother while making small sounds.


    "shhhh..." Jia Li shushed her with a finger on her lips ???? The little bun was only quiet for a second before her sounds because louder, she was about to start crying.


    "If you cry, mummy won''t give milk to you." Jia Li threatened her while pushing her breasts up a bit to entice the little girl.


    Her ns kind of worked a little because Jasmine didn''t cry anymore, instead, she kicked her feet and arms repeatedly out of excitement.


    "Is this a new trick or what?" Fu Hua asked as he put Jasmine''s legs inside her pants before lifting her and passing her to Jia Li, so he could go and wash his hands.


    "You can say that." Jia Li replied as she held the cute chubby girl in her arms and kissed her chubby cheeks.


    "I feel like eating your cheeks, can I?" Jia Li asked the little girl with a smile as she sat on her bed with Jasmine sitting on her thighs.


    Jasmine babbled with a smiling gaze. Who knew if she understood or not, that her mother wanted to eat her chubby cheeks because they were inviting.


    Jia Li''s eyes went to Jasmine''s hair andbed it with her hands. "Baby, your hair is quite long, so how about I pack them for you?"


    Jasmine continued to talk to herself, it''s not like what her mother was talking something that concerned her, so when Fu Hua came back, Jia Li left Jasmine in his care and went to the nursery to bring the simple hair ribbon she would use to pack her hair.


    Right from when the little girl was born, she has always been hairy and now that she was 5 months plus, Jia Li could pack her long hair for her.


    "What are doing with those things when it''ste already?" Fu Hua asked curiously when he saw theb and hair ribbon ???? in Jia Li''s hands.


    "I want to see how my baby will look with these beautiful ribbons on her hair." Jia Li replied and got down to work.


    The little girl was sitting on her father''s thighs when her mother came over to dress her hair. When she saw the cute ribbons, she wanted one for herself as she moved her hands towards it excitedly.


    "Don''t touch it." Jia Li instructed as she picked up theb and began tob her hair gently.


    "Let her have one." Fu Hua said but Jia Li refused. "She will put it in her mouth, your daughter doesn''t stay at a ce these days. She is always looking for what to put inside her mouth."


    "You can stop her if she wants to put it in her mouth." Fu Hua suggested with his gaze on her.


    "Her cries are annoying. I don''t have the energy to deal with her when I want to take the hair ribbons away from her. I would rather she doesn''t touch them and only admire them from far." Jia Li replied as she picked one of the hair ribbons to put on Jasmine''s hair but the little girl followed the ribbon up to her hair.


    (As Jia Li picked up one of the ribbons to put it on the little bun''s hair, her gaze followed it, such that she was already looking upwards when her mother''s hands were on her hair)


    "See, she is very curious about it, let her have a look." Fu Hua said with a smile as he handed the other ribbon over to the little girl.


    Jasmine became attracted by the other ribbon her father ced in front of her and she immediately fixed her gaze on it and stretched out her arms to take it from him.


    Right now, Jia Li was finally able to pack one side of her hair using the ribbon, since she has stopped moving a lot.


    Jasmine was obedient as she yed with the ribbon. She used her little fingers to feel the hair ribbon and would at times, fling it with her hand excitedly.


    After seeing what she wanted, with just one of Jasmine''s hair packed with a ribbon, Jia Li decided that she would be packing her little daughter''s hair every day.


    When Jia Li was done checking Jasmine''s new looks out, she was satisfied and even Fu Hua agreed that their daughter looked cute.


    Now when Jia Li tried to take the other ribbon from Jasmine since she wanted to put them away, the little bun refused to hand it over.


    She went as far as putting the ribbon behind her. Her actions were so adorable that Jia Li and Fu Hua couldn''t help chuckling.


    "Who taught you that?" Fu Hua asked with a smile as he touched the little girl''s cheeks.


    "Jasmine, do you think I can''t get it if I want to?" Jia Li asked but the little bun refused to pay attention to her. She brought out the ribbon from behind her and started ying with it after her mother took her hands back.


    Jasmine took out the ribbon only when she was sure that her mother wouldn''t take it from her.


    Jia Li decided to let the little bun y with the ribbon for a while making sure she doesn''t try to put it in her mouth.


    Jasmine only let go of the ribbon some minutes after she fell asleep while sucking.

 Chapter 373 - Bai Jun Returns Home

    <h4>Chapter 373 - Bai Jun Returns Home</h4>


    After the call with Grandfather Fu, Olddy Bai summoned Bai Fen immediately.


    When Bai Fen heard that her mother-inw sent for her, she immediately went over but she could sense something wrong in the atmosphere.


    Seeing the ugly expression on her mother-inw''s face, Bai Fen became nervous as she didn''t know what the matter was. She is guilty of doing something wrong, so she was bound to be nervous.


    "Mother, you sent for me?" Bai Fen asked as she managed a smile. When she tried to sit on the sofa next to the olddy, thetter red at her and said, "Did I say you could sit?"


    Bai Fen finally understood that the situation was wrong and since the olddy was already venting her anger on her, it was obvious that she could be the reason for her outrage.


    Bai Fen remained standing and asked in a polite tone while trying to hide her nervousness, "Mother, you seem to be in a bad mood, is something wrong?"


    Olddy Bai red at her before speaking up, "Do you know who just called me?"


    Bai Fen shook her head and waited for the olddy to reply. Deep down, she was almost about to have a heart attack since she could already guess the reason for the Olddy''s anger.


    "Old general Fu just informed me that Jun got into FJ, is that true?" Old Mrs. Bai asked in a heavy tone.


    Bai Fen felt cold sweat on her back as she immediately dropped to the floor. She was so terrified that Grandfather Fu already knew about this matter, doesn''t it mean that she was already in a lot of trouble?


    "Answer me!" The olddy barked as she got up from the couch in anger she was so angry that her chest began to heave up and down.


    Her other daughter-inws heard what was happening from the servants and rushed over toe and see.


    Bai Fen flinched when the olddy raised her voice. "Mother, I can exin what happened, I..."


    Bai Fen was not able to finish her sentence when a heavy pnded on her face and that was the scene the two women of the Bai family saw when they stepped in.


    "Mother, what is going on?" The first daughter-inw asked with a frown as she came to stand beside the olddy.


    "Mother what did Bai Fen do?" The second daughter-inw asked as she stood on the left side of the olddy.


    "Our family is in big trouble because of this woman! She went against my orders and nned with Jun to get into FJ behind my back. I had no clue about it and was just informed by Old Fu." Olddy Bai said in anger.


    "What! Bai Fen did what?" The first daughter-inw asked in absolute shock. She couldn''t believe her ears.


    "Bai Fen how could you be so stupid? Do you know the gravity of what you and your daughter have done?!" The third daughter-inw asked in anger. She was so furious that she felt like pping her hard on the face.


    Bai Fen was still on the floor with her hand on her left cheek. Just now, the olddy pped her hard and she could still feel her ears ringing bells.


    She knew that this was not the end for the humiliation she had received and more were toe. She didn''t even want to think about what her husband would do to her when he learns of this news.


    Because she had confidence that no one in the family would find out about this matter soon, she didn''t n on the effects in case the matter was revealed before she made ns.


    "Bai Fen, do you know what you have done? You have put our family in a tight corner. Old Fu gave me from now till tomorrow morning to give him a proper exnation of the reason I didn''t listen to his orders, what should I tell him?" Old Mrs. Bai asked with a fierce gaze on her.


    Finally, Bai Fen decided to speak up. "Mother, I am sorry for taking this decision without telling you but Jun wanted to work in FJ because of how broad it was. She wanted to work in the best brand in the country, which has always been her dream since she was a child. I couldn''t let her suffer because of the misunderstanding. And you can check with FJ that she didn''t get in using any underhanded means. For the first time since Jun was born, she worked so hard for something and finally got in through thepetition FJ held. Mother, we can''t let the Fu Family continue to act this way because of a misunderstanding."


    "Bai Fen, have you lost your mind?" The third daughter-inw asked with a frown.


    "Are you saying that mother should ry your meaningless words to the Fu family, so we can die early?" The first daughter-inw asked.


    "Then what do you want me to do?! Don''t tell me that you want Jun to leave FJ? She worked so hard for it. Because of thispetition, she deprived herself of so many things just so she could get in using her efforts, so she can''t leave, her hard work and dedication can''t go to waste!" Bai Fen said in a determined tone.


    Before Old Mrs. Bai could scold her, Bai Jun walked in. When she saw her mother on the floor and the other women surrounding her, she dumped her dampened mood and immediately rushed to her side.


    "Mum, what happened?!" Bai Jun asked with worry as she rushed to her mother''s side.


    Before Bai Fen could reply, the olddymanded Bai Jun in an authoritative tone. "Bai Jun get on your knees now!"


    "Grandma, what did I do wrong? What did my mother do?!" Bai Jun asked with an angry gaze on her grandmother.


    "Are you asking me what you did wrong?" Olddy Bai asked angrily with her fingers pointed at her.


    Bai Jun still wanted to argue with her but her mother immediately dragged her to kneel beside her and gave her a sign not to say anything.

 Chapter 374 - Get On Your Knees This Minute!

    <h4>Chapter 374 - Get On Your Knees This Minute!</h4>


    "Bai Jun, are you going to pretend that you did nothing wrong?" The first daughter-inw of the Bai family asked.


    "Bai Jun, how could you go against your grandmother and get into FJ and you think we won''t find out? Where did you and your mother leave your brains?" The third daughter-inw asked angrily. She understood the kind of trouble their family would have to face for going against the Fu Family, so she was very angry.


    Bai Jun didn''t have the feisty attitude from earlier. She was already pissed off with the embarrassment she got from the party anding back home to see her mother being punished, caused her to be more furious. But after finding out the reason she was getting punished alongside her mother, she became quiet.


    "Why are you quiet now, did you swallow your tongue?" The third daughter-inw asked with a sneer.


    The olddy pointed at the mother and daughter pair and said to them, "Old Fu asked for a reason for going against his order, you two would be the death of this family!"


    "Mother, instead of them dragging this family down with them, we should better cut them off." The first daughter-inw suggested with a fierce gaze on the mother and daughter pair.


    "Don''t go too far! How can you suggest that my daughter and I be cut off from the family when my family invested a lot of money in the family business?" Bai Fen asked angrily.


    "Because your family made a little contribution, is that the reason you are trying to destroy it? Bai Fen let me remind you that you have no say in what punishment you will receive!" The third daughter-inw said.


    "Just wait till our husbandse back home, let me see if you will still have the mouth to talk because it looks like you don''t know the kind of trouble younded all of us in!" The first daughter-inw said.


    Thinking about how her sons were going to have a hard time in thepany because she knew that the old man of the Fu family will surely deal with them, Olddy Bai''s heart hardened and she said to them...


    "Bai Jun, I am so disappointed in you and your mother. Fu Hua is married and you are still chasing after him, even to the point of getting into FJ behind my back. I am very disappointed in you! First thing tomorrow morning, send in your resignation letter once you get to FJ."


    "What!" Bai Fen eximed in shock


    "Grandmother, I can''t do that!" Bai Jun said almost in tears. How could she quit after how hard she worked to get into FJ? That was not possible.


    "Why can''t you do it, do you think you have any option?" Olddy Bai asked with a fierce gaze.


    "Mother, there has to be another way to solve this matter. You don''t know what this means to Jun." Bai Fen cried out. She couldn''t let their hard work do down the drain.


    "Does it look like we are asking for your opinion?" The third daughter-inw asked with a sneer.


    Bai Jun got up and said in a challenging tone. "Grandmother this is so unfair! How can you ask me to quit, I am not going to quit!"


    The two women were about to scold Bai Jun when the oldnded a p on her face.


    "How dare you talk to me like that?! Get on your knees this minute!" The olddy said in a furious tone.


    Bai Jun couldn''t believe that she just got hit in the face by her grandmother. This was the 4th time she was getting pped today and it was on the same spot.


    With her hand on her face and with teary eyes, Bai Jun got on her knees. Bai Fen felt her heart tighten after her daughter got pped and she couldn''t even show concern to her or she will infuriate the olddy more.


    As hot tears dripped from her eyes, Bai Jun swore to take revenge on FangSu because she was the one that revealed the secret to her family and that made her get punished.


    FangSu forgot that if she had kept her secret to herself and not told Ahm about it, she wouldn''t have been in that current situation.


    "Your quitting will help to reduce the number of arrows that will be aimed at us, so quit your job in FJ!" The first daughter-inw said.


    Old Mrs. Bai couldn''t stand the mother and daughter and turned to walk away when Bai Jun held her legs and began to plead with her.


    "Grandmother, I''m sorry for what I did but I had no other intentions apart from working in a big brand in the fashion industry like FJ, I have no ideas on brother Fu Hua, please help me! I can''t quit the job worked so hard to get. I went through a lot to get into FJ, and now I''m being asked to quit? Grandma, please help me, I promise to be obedient to you!"


    "Your promise to be obedient? You should have first been obedient before thinking about going against my orders!" Old Mrs. Bai said as she tried to set her legs free but Bai Jun was holding up it tightly.


    "Mother, please find another way to deal with this matter. Bai Jun can''t quit her job as worked so hard to get it! Instead, I will take the me for everything." Bai Fen cried out from the side.


    She couldn''t let their hard work go to waste just like that. She was willing to ept the me and receive all the punishment.


    "Grandma, please help me. My mother spent all her money to get me the best coaches for thispetition, I worked hard day and night and had nosebleeds several times because I wanted to get into FJ. Out of the 1K participants, I was able to get into FJ with my efforts, please grandmother, I''m willing to ept any other punishment, but please don''t ask me to quit working in FJ." Bai Jun said with genuine tears.


    She was afraid that everything she worked so hard for would go to waste. She was really afraid that she wasted her time all this while, so she was willing to do anything in other to remain in FJ.


    "Bai Jun, don''t be stubborn! You and your mother here should be thinking of how to exin things to your father and uncles when theye back home!" The first daughter-inw said.

 Chapter 375 - I Choose The Second Option

    <h4>Chapter 375 - I Choose The Second Option</h4>


    Bai Jun and Bai Fen continued to plead with the Olddy but their pleas fell on deaf ears.


    When the olddy turned to leave, Bai Jun threatened her with her life and with tears running down her cheeks as she hit her forehead on the floor twice.


    "Bai Jun!" Bai Fen said out of fear and immediately closed in on her.


    "What do you think you''re doing!" The olddy asked furiously. She was truly scared that Bai Jun would kill herself right in front of her.


    Bai Jun''s actions scared the shit out of her Aunties as they couldn''t believe what they were seeing.


    "Are you threatening your grandmother with your life?!" The third daughter-inw asked while pointing angrily at her.


    "How bold of you! Look how ungrateful you are! You think you can threaten to take your life because you are tired of living?" The first daughter-inw said.


    After her mother stopped her from hitting her head on the floor for the third time, Bai Jun said in tears, "Grandmother, I will really kill myself if you ask me to quit the job I worked so hard to get because of some misunderstanding. That is my sweat and my sense of achievement, please help me to continue having hope and the zeal to live!"


    "Jun, please don''t do this!" Bai Fen said in tears as she hugged her. She couldn''t believe that her daughter just tried to take her life right in front of her.


    Looking at her swollen and red-stained forehead, Bai Fen really shed genuine tears. Her daughter was really pitiable.


    Olddy Bai was very angry and more to that, she was really afraid of her granddaughter killing herself. She began to think about the possibility of Bai Jun saying the truth that she didn''t have feelings for Fu Hua and she got into FJ because she wanted to gain experience from the best.


    Watching Bai Jun cry in her mother''s arms with her swollen and blood-stained forehead, Old Lady Bai shut her eyes as she was in a dilemma.


    Her other two daughters-inw saw that she was being swayed by Bai Jun''s actions and immediately said to her, "Mother, you can''t be swayed, remember that you still have to give an exnation to the Fu family."


    Being reminded of the Fu family, Olddy Bai was swayed to the other side again.


    Bai Jun knew that her grandmother was conflicted about what to do, so she immediately added, "Grandmother please, you have to help your granddaughter, I have been falsely used of having feelings for brother Hua. FangSu already humiliated me at the birthday party we went for right in front of everybody, if I quit, won''t it be the same as me agreeing to the ims that I still have feelings for her brother?"


    Hearing that her daughter was embarrassed at the birthday party she went for in grand style, Bai Fen felt all kinds of hate for the Fu family for bringing pain to her daughter.


    She swore that she would get back at them once this phase passes.


    Olddy Bai felt dizzy and almost fell if not for her daughters-inw that helped to stabilize her immediately while calling out to her.


    ncing at her granddaughter while being supported, the olddy said, "Bai Jun, I will change my mind and give you another option."


    "What! Mother!" Her two daughters-inw called out in surprise, but they couldn''t say anything more as the olddy raised her hand as a sign for them to be quiet.


    Bai Jun and Bai Fen saw a glimmer of hope and immediately began to thank the olddy but she said for them not to thank her yet.


    "You have only 2 options now and you are free to choose any one of them. One quit working in FJ and find another ce to work or two, get married within 2 weeks and you can keep your job in FJ. What is your choice?"


    Bai Jun felt her world copse as she fell to the side. None of the two options given to her was favorable. She was thinking that wasn''t it better to take her life than to pick an option.


    Bai Fen was shocked by the option her mother-inw gave. She didn''t leave any leeway for them.


    The other two daughters-inw of the Bai family were satisfied with the olddy''s options. Earlier, they had been afraid that the olddy would lose her sense of judgment because of Bai Jun''s threats, now, they could sigh in relief.


    Seeing the reactions from the mother and daughter on the floor, the third daughter-inw said with a taunting gaze.


    "Bai Jun, I thought you said you didn''t have any feelings for Fu Hua, then why is it taking you so much time to pick one option?"


    "Mother, Jun is still young to get married, why..." Bai Fen tried to speak up for her shocked daughter but the olddy cut her words off.


    "If Jun is still too young to get married, then she can quit working in FJ on Monday."


    Bai Fen''s ns failed. And when she noticed that Bai Jun couldn''t control her reactions, she immediately pinched her as a warning when no one was looking.


    Things would be bad if the olddy discover that they lied to her, then she wouldn''t care if her granddaughtermits suicide or not.


    "Bai Jun time is going, what is your reply?" The first daughter-inw asked with her gaze fixed on her. She was already impatient from the time she has wasted because of this matter when she would have sent the mother and daughter away from the family if she was the one making the decision.


    Bai Jun knew that there was no time to waste, and even though this was a really difficult decision to make, she had no choice.


    She didn''t see any reason working in FJ is she was to her married to someone else, after all, she got into FJ for a chance to be with Fu Hua.


    But thinking that it would be better to work in FJ where she would be seeing Fu Hua on many asions, she chose the second option unwillingly.


    "I choose the second option."


    Right after making the announcement, she fainted to the shock of everyone present.

 Chapter 376 - Take Revenge On FangSu

    <h4>Chapter 376 - Take Revenge On FangSu</h4>


    Meanwhile, FangSu was furious when she walked back to her bedroom. When she wanted to close her room door, Fu Meixu held the door and pushed it open.


    "What''s your problem?" FangSu asked in an annoyed tone.


    Fu Meixu walked in and went to sit on the couch and only then did she begin to talk. "What happened at the birthday party, how did you deal with your best friend?"


    "If you are here to mock me, you had better get out of my room on time!" FangSu said while pointing at the door.


    "Hey! Why are you mad? Last I know, Bai Jun is your best friend but from your reaction, it looks like things have ended between you two." Fu Meixu said with a smile.


    "What exactly did youe here to tell me?" FangSu asked angrily as she walked to her side.


    "You have to be respectful or I won''t help you regain your brother''s favor. Don''t forget that I am on good terms with Jia Li." Fu Meixu said with a proud smile.


    "Do I look like I need your help? You should worry about yourself instead of worrying about others. I heard that Zhi Ruo will be back to the spotlight soon when shees back from her break." FangSu said as she rolled her eyes on her.


    Fu Meixu found her words funny andughed over them to the annoyance of FangSu.


    "What''s funny?" FangSu asked with a frown. She hated it when her Fu Meixuughed that way.


    "I sent Zhi Ruo on holiday because she annoyed me. Do you think she would want to go on a break for that long? And let''s say there was an unavoidable circumstance but do you think she would want to fork out that money to pay for a long holiday? My dear, open your eyes or you will continue to be used by people." Fu Meixu said as she got up with a smile.


    "Do you think I will believe your nonsense? How did you get the power to get an A-list artist who is a veteran in the industry to have no choice but to listen to you?" FangSu asked with creased brows. She didn''t believe a word she said.


    Fu Meixu chuckled and said to her, "You are still a child, what do you know? If you don''t want to suffer anymore, I am willing to take you under my wings."


    "I think it''s time for you to leave my bedroom." FangSu said as she became angry. She couldn''t bear cousin acting like the ruler of the universe even for a second.


    "You will need my help. You must have embarrassed your best friend in such a way that she wouldn''t forget to take revenge on you even if she has to go to hell for that... Good luck with that!" Fu Meixu said with a smile before walking towards the door.


    "How would she have the time to plot against me when she should worry about herself?" FangSu said.


    "Who knows." Fu Meixu said before leaving her bedroom.


    When Fu Meixu left, FangSu found some peace for herself. She went straight to freshen up before picking up her phone.


    While going through her phone, she saw so many unread messages from her phone, so she began to check them all.


    After replying to some of them, she went straight to open Zhang Junjie''s message and replied to his concerns, before deciding the open the message from MingXia.


    "What kind of video is this?" FangSu murmured to herself and went on to y the video and watched it to the end.


    A satisfactory smile yed on her lips after watching the video. She couldn''t wait to use the video to threaten Bai Jun.


    At the Bai house, 30 minutester, the doctor that was called, finished treating Bai Jun and left. It took up to an hour more before Bai Jun woke up.


    Bai Jun could feel a throbbing pain on her face and forehead. Seeing that her daughter was trying to get up, Bai Fen immediately went over to help her up.


    "Jun, you need to rest, the injury on your forehead might leave a scar. And you still owe me an exnation for trying to take your life, why did you do that?!" Bai Fen asked with a deep frown.


    "Grandmother left me with no choice. If I didn''t do that, I wouldn''t have gotten a second option." Bai Jun said as she sniffed. Recurring the humiliation, pain, and suffering that she went through today, made her want to kill everyone.


    "Do you think the second option you got was better? You agreed to get married in 2 weeks!" Bai Fen reminded with a frown.


    "Even if I don''t get to be with Brother Hua now, I still have a chance if I remain in FJ!" Bai Jun dered.


    Bai Fen covered her mouth immediately and shushed her. "If you don''t want to get into trouble again, you better behave yourself. If your grandmother or those two women hear you, you won''t have an option."


    "I will be careful from now onwards, first I have to deal with someone." Bai Jun said as her eyes revealed a deep hatred.


    "Who do you want to deal with?" Bai Fen asked with a curious gaze.


    "Fu FangSu! She dared to p me and humiliate me in front of our friends at the birthday party, I must take revenge on her!" Bai Jun swore bitterly. She would never allow FangSu to go free after everything she put her through, never!


    Bai Fen asked about what FangSu did to her and Bai Jun exined everything to her.


    "...she dared to embarrass you in front of so many people?" Bai Fen asked angrily.


    "Mother, what is grandma doing, I want to see her now!" Bai Jun said as she tried to get off the bed.


    "She is with those two women, trying to pick a husband for you. What do you want to see her for?" Bai Fen asked with creased brows. She was already angry that she was excluded from making any decision.


    "I''m going to take revenge on FangSu!" Bai Jun replied as her mother helped her to get off the bed.


    "And how will you do that by meeting your grandmother?" Bai Fen asked with a frown.


    "FangSu likes Zhang Junjie from the Zhang family and she has had a crush on him for so many years, so I am going to beg grandmother to pick him as my future husband.." Bai Jun said with a smirk.

 Chapter 377 - Bai Jun"s Request

    <h4>Chapter 377 - Bai Jun"s Request</h4>


    "This doesn''t sound like a bad idea but do you think your grandma will listen to you?" Bai Fen asked.


    "She has to listen to me since I am the one getting married." Bai Jun said before walking towards the door with the help of her mother.


    When they both got to the sitting room, they saw the olddy surrounded by the two women in their families.


    "What did youe out here for, don''t tell me you still have another request to make?" The third daughter-inw asked with a taunting gaze when she saw Bai Jun who''s head was wrapped in a white bandage.


    Without warning, Bai Jun knelt before the three women with tears in her eyes.


    "Grandmother, since I have agreed to get married in 2 weeks, please allow me to choose the person I want."


    "And who is that person?" Olddy Bai asked with her gaze on her.


    "Zhang Junjie from the Zhang family. We have known each other for so many years, so it will be better if I marry someone I trust that will treat me well." Bai Jun replied and she wiped her tears.


    Olddy Bai immediately asked her third daughter-inw to search for information regarding the Zhang family and Zhang Junjie with the tablet in her hands.


    In 2 minutes, the information regarding Zhang Junjie and the Zhang family was brought up and read to the hearing of everyone present.


    "Zhang Junjie is a decent young man but I don''t think the Zhang family will agree to this short notice." Olddy Bai said.


    She liked Zhang Junjie and wouldn''t mind granting her granddaughter''s wish but the Zhang family was not an ordinary family she could just bring up a marriage alliance with, in such a short time.


    "Mother, it''s possible. I remember that the Zhang family owes us a favor for the construction contract we gave to them that helped to boost their profile back then." Bai Fen revealed.


    Olddy Bai had to think deeply before remembering that something like that did happen. "Even though something like that did happen, are you trying to tell me to use it in order for Bai Jun to marry their son in such short notice?"


    "Mother, Jun''s happiness is important. And since Zhang Junjie is outstanding and is on good terms with Jun, there shouldn''t be a big problem." Bai Fen replied.


    Olddy Bai was quiet for a while before saying to them, "Zhang Junjie it is. Bai Jun, go back to your room to rest. You are only allowed toe out when it''s time for dinner."


    "Thank you, grandma!" Bai Jun said in a happy tone as she bowed.


    Because she was weak and had been kneeling for a long time, she couldn''t help herself up, so her mother came over to help her.


    Atst, when the two of them returned to the room, they couldn''t hold back their smiles of victory.


    Back in the sitting room, olddy Bai was still trying to organize the message she was going to send to grandfather Fu.


    In order to show her sincerity, she wrote a message, exining to him her ns and said that she would go ahead to start making the marriage arrangements only if he approves of it.


    Afterpiling the message, her third daughter-inw sent it over.


    "Mother, you know this is not enough right?" The first daughter-inw asked with a frown.


    Olddy Bai heaved a sigh and replied, "I know that it is not enough. Old Fu will still do something to punish us even if he epts this. I just want to give Bai Jun a chance because I saw the effort she put in to get into FJ. She became so good that she could get in through thatpetition."


    "Mother, you are too soft-hearted because you love Bai Jun so much. I just hope she doesn''t cause any more trouble for us!" The third daughter-inw said with a frown.


    If there was one thing she hated about the olddy, it was the fact that she loved Bai Jun so much that her heart easily melted for her.


    "If Bai Jun throws all our efforts away, then I will really kill her myself. I won''t allow myself to be blinded by the love I have for her and allow her to ruin my husband''s years of hard work, never!" Olddy Bai promised.


    The two women rxed at her assurance and continued with the work they had.


    During dinner, the olddy announced to everyone that Bai Jun would be getting married in 2 weeks,? before going on to exin the reason for the sudden arrangement.


    "You should have asked her to quit, what nonsense!" Bai Jun''s father said with an angry gaze on his wife and daughter. He was so angry with them that he wanted to squeeze the life out of them.


    Atst, Olddy Bai managed to handle the matter and let everyone eat before dismissing them.


    That night, Bai Fen didn''t sleep in her bedroom. She gave an excuse that she needed to take care of Bai Jun at night, and so went over to Bai Jun''s bedroom.


    Bai Fen was scared that she may not see the light of the next day if she spent the night in the same with her furious husband.


    The next morning, Olddy Bai sent over the letter to grandfather Fu just as he was about to have breakfast.


    Grandfather and the rest of the family were at the dinner table when Butler Lu came to whisper to his ear.


    "Read it out to everyone." Grandfather Fu said to him. The old man has already told everyone of the situation but he was yet to announce his actions on the matter.


    Apart from Fu Hua, Jia Li, Fu Hee and Fu Juan, everyone else was present at the dinner table.


    Olddy Bai started with an apology in the letter before going to remind the old man of their rtionship as friends.


    "... I and my family ept any punishment you give to us but please, allow my granddaughter to remain in FJ because of the zeal, hardwork and dedication she gave to get a spot through thepetition. And to keep your mind at ease, I have decided to let my granddaughter get married in 2 weeks to the son of the Zhang family, Zhang Junjie..."


    "What!" Butler Lu was still reading out the contents of the letter when FangSu screamed in shock, thereby interrupting him.

 Chapter 378 - Will Only Learn When She Is Dead

    <h4>Chapter 378 - Will Only Learn When She Is Dead</h4>


    As all eyes were on her, FangSu didn''t care and went on to ask Butler Lu to repeat thest sentence.


    "Why is it him!" FangSu asked with an ufortable feeling after hearing Zhang Junjie''s name being mentioned again.


    "Where are your manners? Who permitted you to interrupt?" Fu Lei asked with an angry gave directed at FangSu.


    Seeing her father''s angry gaze, FangSu quietened down with a big frown on her face.


    When Butler Lu was done reading the letter, he stepped back and waited for the old man''s decision or more of a reply.


    "FangSu, do you know him?" Fu ChuHua asked with her gaze on her.


    "Junjie is my friend." FangSu nced over and replied in a soft tone, as there was still a big frown sitting on her face.


    "Is that the reason you acted so uncultured? Are you his only friend? You and that Bai girl have been inseparable since birth, isn''t it obvious that your friends are her friends?" Fu Lei said in a strong tone.


    Fu Lei has been disappointed with his daughter for a long time now because of her actions, so he was taking it out on her although she has been quiet these days.


    "Dad, Bai Jun is not friends with him and has never been! I just started talking with Junjie yesterday and he brought me home but Bai Jun has never exchanged words with him before, so why would the Bai family pick him?" FangSu said boldly.


    She was afraid of her father but she was more afraid of losing Zhang Junjie to Bai Jun, so she spoke up boldly.


    "Isn''t it clear on your best friend''s intentions? It is clear that she wants to snatch your friend from you after you embarrassed her at the party yesterday." Fu Meixu said with a smile.


    "How are you sure that Bai Jun was the person that chose the person she wants to marry?" Fu Geming asked with a frown.


    "Dad, you don''t understand women and more so, people like Bai Jun who would do anything to infuriate their enemies." Fu Meixu replied.


    Finally, Grandfather Fu decided to speak up. He nced at FangSu and said, "You said that Zhang Junjie is your friend?"


    Bai Jun''s frown eased up a bit as she replied, "Yes, grandfather. Zhang Junjie is my friend and Bai Jun must have done this on purpose to get back at me."


    "If he is your friend and so? Can''t Bai Jun marry him? You two are birds of the same feather, now that you are no more friends, you don''t want her to take people that belong to you?" Fu Lei asked.


    He didn''t want his daughter to have the things she wanted, freely after what she did in the past. He wanted her to feel some pain for a while that will leave her regretting her past misconducts.


    FangSu became more annoyed but she didn''t dare to talk back at her father for fear of getting pped. She turned to grandfather Fu to plead with him.


    "Grandfather, please don''t let Bai Jun have her way. It is obvious that she still hasn''t learned her lesson. She can still plot even when this matter is very serious!"


    "Lu, go back to the study and wait for me." Grandfather Fu said to Butler Lu before picking up his cutlery to eat.


    Butler Lu took his instructions and bowed before leaving.


    FangSu didn''t know her grandfather''s ns and what his response would be, so she was anxious as she called out to him but she didn''t receive any response.


    "FangSu, don''t talk anymore and eat." YingPei said from the side.


    Even Fu ChunHua gave her a sign to eat and not to talk and so FangSu reluctantly picked up her cutlery and began to eat, while thinking of what to do to make the marriage between Bai Jun and Zhang Junjie not to work out.


    After breakfast, FangSu was the first to leave. She didn''t bother to finish her food before leaving after an idea struck her.


    She remembered that she had the video from yesterday and decided to use it to threaten Bai Jun.


    Bai Jun sent the video to her which was apanied by a threat... ''If you don''t change your groom to someone else, I will broadcast this video and everybody will see it.''


    Some minutester, Bai Jun called her directly. FangSu was happy thinking that Bai Jun was scared, so she picked up the call with a smug look but Bai Jun''s reply left her shocked.


    "You think I''m scared of my reputation? You are wasting your time. You are free to let everybody get a copy of the video. As for Junjie, he will forever be my groom and you can''t do anything about it!"


    After saying all of that to her, Bai Jun ended the call directly.


    FangSu was so angry that her n failed and couldn''t help screaming out of frustration.


    "You bitch! I will kill you!" FangSu cursed in gritted teeth.


    When Grandfather Fu returned to his study, he asked Butler Lu to send a message back to Old Mrs. Bai and the message goes like this...


    ''Your granddaughter wants to snatch my granddaughter''s friend now? Mrs. Bai, where is the sincerity of your Bai family? You have 30 minutes to modify the groom''s name and send it back to me for approval, this is yourst chance.''


    When Old Mrs. Bai saw the message, she almost fainted as her blood pressure rose. Her two daughters-inw had to help to calm her down.


    "This Bai Jun never learns! What is wrong with her?!" The first daughter-inw said in an angry tone. If she sees Bai Jun now, nothing will stop her from squeezing the life out of her.


    "Mother, it is clear that your precious granddaughter will only learn when she is dead. Did you hear what your sons saidst night, business is bad. Who do you think is responsible for that?" The third daughter-inw asked.


    "Bai Jun is responsible. If we don''t give old general Fu a good response within a few minutes, we can say goodbye to the bid." The first daughter-inw said.


    "The two of you should stop talking. We have lost the bid already, there is no need to bring it up. Mr. Fu won''t allow us to have it again after what happened." Old Mrs. Bai said in a tired tone.


    "This will be bad for us, we really need to win this bid." The first daughter-inw said.


    "Mother what are your ns?" The third daughter-inw asked.

 Chapter 379 - Jealous Jasmine

    <h4>Chapter 379 - Jealous Jasmine</h4>


    Some minutes after Butler Lu sent the message across to Old Mrs. Bai, Fu Lei walked in.


    "Do you have any matter to report?" Grandfather Fu asked after gesturing to him to sit.


    "Father, I came for another matter. I think Fu Hua should know about what is going on. Don''t you think that he would be angry if he finds out that you decided on his behalf?" Fu Lei asked with a frown.


    He knows his son very well and his temper was something else. Fu Lei felt that Fu Hua should be the one to make decisions on this matter since FJ belongs to him.


    "This matter concerns me as well. The Bai family vited the warning I gave to them, so I have to step in. By the way, I am not deciding for Fu Hua, I am only giving out the punishment on my part." Grandfather Fu replied.


    "Father, what do you mean?" Fu Lei asked with a frown as he didn''t seem to understand the old man''s point.


    "Fu Hua is free to deal with the Bai girl at FJ if he wants to. I am only punishing the Bai family for going against me, it doesn''t stop Fu Hua from doing the same." Grandfather Fu exined and Fu Lei understood.


    "Wouldn''t this seem like we cheated? Mrs. Bai doesn''t think this way." Fu Lei asked.


    "I don''t need to make my words clear anymore. When I did before, they didn''t listen, so I don''t think I have to give her any exnation." Grandfather Fu replied.


    Fu Lei nodded in response and asked, "What of the groom they picked?"


    "I asked her to change it. About the bid they are going for, give it to someone else but don''t touch their stocks." Grandfather Fu instructed.


    "I will get right to it immediately." Fu Lei said before leaving.


    Today being Sunday, Fu Hua and Jia Li slept in. The little bun was the only one who woke up early and was ying by herself while lying in between her mother and father.


    She has been babbling to herself for a while now and atst, she rolled over and nced at her parents whileying on her stomach.


    Jasmine had a curious gaze on her parents before going on to sit on the bed. The little bun put her fingers in her mouth and sucked on them before going on to continue babbling.


    Atst, Jia Li couldn''t help but open her eyes to nce at the talkative little bun who seemed to be so hyperactive since she woke up.


    Jasmine met her mother''s gave and giggled happily.


    Jia Li couldn''t help smiling as she reached out to pinch her chubby cheeks. The little bun giggled more before taking her mother''s hands and trying to get up.


    "Look at this girl." Jia Li said as she chuckled softly.


    Fu Hua opened his eyes to see his daughter standing while holding Jia Li''s hand for support.


    "I guess she wants to walk without crawling." Fu Hua said as he smiled brightly. Watching his cute daughter naturally brought a smile to his face.


    "Good Morning." Jia Li greeted him with a smile.


    "How was your night?" Fu Hua asked as he reached out to caress her face.


    "I slept well, thanks to you for helping me look after Jasmine." Jia Li said with a grateful smile as she let Jasmine sit back on the bed.


    "It''s nothing." Fu Hua replied and leaned over to kiss her lips, while the little girl watched them curiously.


    Jia Li enjoyed the short kiss and had to push Fu Hua away when she remembered that the little bun was watching them.


    "Jasmine is watching us." Jia Li said as she nced over at the little bun who was staring at her with a curious gaze.


    Fu Hua nced at his little princess and smiled. "It''s not bad for her to see the love her parents have for each other."


    "What if she learns the wrong stuff and kisses someone else?" Jia Li asked.


    "We will teach her well before that happens. Before you can talk more, I need more kisses to have a beautiful morning." Fu Hua said as he leaned over to kiss Jia Li''s lips again.


    This time around, the curious Jasmine didn''t stay put. To Jia Li and Fu Hua''s surprise, she moved over to separate them.


    "How did she get here?" Jia Li asked when she felt the soft palms on her cheeks.


    Fu Hua chuckled softly when the little bun was looking at him like he did something wrong. "Our baby is jealous." He said.


    "Let''s go again." Jia Li said in an excited tone. She was curious to see the little girl''s reaction to them kissing.


    Jasmine did not disappoint. She babbled as she yanked her father''s face away. Fu Hua was lucky that her fingers were trimmed a few days ago or he would have received some scratches.


    "Oh my God! Her grips are so strong." Fu Hua said as heughed. Jia Li chuckled as well before sitting up.


    "Jasmine, apologize to your Daddy, tell him you''re sorry." Jia Li said to the little bun who was staring at her with her fingers in her mouth. The little bun looked so cute while sitting by herself.


    Fu Hua was about to say that the little princess couldn''t talk when Jasmine babbled before climbing on her mother''s body and reaching out her little fingers for her shirt.


    Jia Li found her actions funny and said to her while making her sit on her thighs, "I asked you to apologize and you''reing for your food."


    Jasmine didn''t reply to her as she continued to pull her shirt and babble to herself.


    Fu Hua couldn''t help smiling and carrying the little bun on his thighs. "You''re so cute." Fu Hua said as he kissed her cheeks.


    Jasmine giggled and mover her lips to lick his cheeks. Fu Hua had to lean away from her.


    "This girl, I really don''t know what to say to her. Her mouth is always busy." Jia Limented.


    "Who did she learn that from?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Isn''t it obvious?" Jia Li said with a smoking gaze.

 Chapter 380 - Old Mr. Fus Approval

    <h4>Chapter 380 - Old Mr. Fu''s Approval</h4>


    While Jia Li, Fu Hua and the little bun were having fun, things were not going in well in the Bai family.


    Old Lady Bai asked her third daughter-inw to pick any family while she on the other hand, directed her first daughter-inw on what to be written in the undertaken Bai Jun was to sign.


    After making arrangements and deciding on the family Bai Jun was going to marry into and the person picked for her, Olddy Bai asked a servant to call Bai Jun and Bai Fen over.


    "It looks like things for the marriage arrangements are being prepared." Bai Fen said with a smile as she walked along the hallway with Bai Jun who still had a bandage ???? wrapped around her forehead.


    "Of course... Maybe grandma is calling to tell me when to meet with Zhang Junjie." Bai Jun said with a confident smile.


    "Let''s hurry up." Bai Fen said as she pulled her to walk quickly.


    When they got to the sitting room, Olddy Bai was drinking tea while the other two women were sitting beside her with a stack of papers in their hands.


    "Grandmother you called for me?" Bai Jun asked with a polite smile. She was acting just like an obedient child.


    Olddy Bai put her cup of tea down and looked up to say to her, "Bai Jun, why didn''t you mention that Zhang Junjie and FangSu were close friends?"


    Bai Jun and Bai Fen were taken aback by the olddy''s question. They were wondering how she found out about the rtionship FangSu and Zhang Junjie had.


    "Mother, is there a need to ask her about it? Old general Fu has already made us lose the uing bid because someone here deceived us. Mother save your breath and go on with the ns we have already crafted out." The third daughter-inw said with a disgusted facial expression.


    "Bai Jun, I''m really surprised that at your age, you can scheme to this level. There is no need to say anything to you but we have all lost hope in you." The first daughter-inw said with a frown.


    The turn of events was so unexpected for Bai Jun that she was tongue-tied. Bai Fen on the other hand didn''t dare to ask what they did because it was very clear to them.


    Bai Fen was wondering how they came to know about it and hearing them mention grandfather Fu, she guessed that Bai Jun must have told him about it.


    Bai Fen was currently filled with anger with the turn of events. She couldn''t even take revenge on FangSu, what was her hope for the future.


    "Bai Jun, read this agreement and sign it after." Olddy Bai said as she handed over two pieces of a written agreement to her.


    When Bai Jun read the agreement she was to sign, the color drained from her face.


    It was written in the agreement that she can only get a divorce or separate from her husband the day she wants to quit working in FJ.


    Seeing how shocked her daughter was, Bai Fen snatched of the written agreement and read the content and that was how she understood the reason for her daughter''s change in expression.


    "Mother, you are going too far?! Are you trying to cage our only granddaughter with marriage? What if the person she is getting married to doesn''t treat her well? You haven''t even told us who she is getting married to!" Bai Fen said with a deep frown on her face.


    The third daughter-inw got up from the sofa and said while pointing fingers at her, "Should we call our husband and tell them that we have already lost the bid we have all put our hopes on because you and your daughter deceived us?"


    Bai Jun and Bai Fen were scared out of their wits, especially Bai Jun, because her father will send a resignation letter to FJ on behalf and lock her up in the house for several days before marrying her off or sending her outside the country. And because she didn''t want her father and her uncles to get involved, she quickly asked for a pen and signed the papers before handing them over to her grandmother.


    "Bai Jun, listen carefully. You have to mind your actions and your speech from now onwards because if you go against the rules, you will have to leave FJ with immediate effect. You are no longer allowed to make any contribution to this family and towards your wedding. You should concentrate on your work, while your mother can continue idling at home." The first daughter-inw said to Bai Jun with a serious gaze.


    Bai Jun felt that everyone was going against her wishes but she couldn''t do anything. The only n she made that worked out was getting into FJ. As for the others, they all failed miserably.


    When Bai Jun left their presence, she locked herself in her bedroom and refused to open the door for anyone, even to get mother.


    After Bai Jun and her mother left, Olddy Bai immediately sent out another better along with the copy of the agreement she and Bai Jun signed.


    When Grandfather Fu saw the copy of the agreement Olddy Bai and Bai Jun signed, he was satisfied and sent out a message to her, saying that he finally saw a little bit of sincerity from her and hopes the wedding pulls through in 2 weeks.


    Olddy Bai sighed in relief after getting Old Mr. Fu''s approval and she immediately contacted the Yang family for the marriage agreement.


    When FangSu found out from Butler Lu that her grandfather had the Bai family change the groom after crying andining to Zhang Junjie, she jumped for joy and immediately ran to grandfather Fu''s study to thank him.


    "I didn''t do it for you. But I hope that you make things right soon." Grandfather Fu said to her with a meaningful gaze.


    FangSu understood what he meant and thanked him again before leaving his study. Walking back to her room, she called Zhang Junjie to inform him of what happened.. The two talked for a short while before the former had to end the call, as she wanted to speak to her mother.

 Chapter 381 - Do The Right Thing

    <h4>Chapter 381 - Do The Right Thing</h4>


    Fu Hee and Jia Li were happily ying with Jasmine who was ying on the mat with her colorful toys. At times, the little girl would seem confused about which one to pick because she was fascinated by all of them.


    "Mum, I''m going to the workshop, I will leave her in your care." Jia Li said as she got up from the mat.


    "Go ahead, I will take care of her." Fu Hee said to her with a smile.


    Jia Li had no problems leaving as the little bun had all her attention on her toys when she left, so she didn''t see her.


    Fu Hee was speaking to the little girl and telling her the colors of her toys when her phone rang. Immediately, the little bun''s attention was on her phone as she left her toys and fixed her gaze on the ringing phone.


    Fu Hee picked up her phone from the side and nced at the screen to see that it was FangSu that was calling.


    "Mum what took you so long to answer that call?" FangSu asked immediately. She was expecting her mother to answer the call on the first ring because she almost couldn''t wait to feel what has been happening in the past several hours.


    "My phone just rang and I picked it up immediately, why do you sound so impatient?" Fu Hee asked.


    "Mum, forget it, I have something important to report to you and you will definitely be shocked when you hear about it." FangSu said in excitement.


    Fu Hee became interested in what she wanted to talk about and immediately asked her to go on and tell her about it.


    The little bun whose gaze has been on the phone since it started ringing, heard the voice over the phone and immediately became very interested, so she crept to ce her little palms on her grandmother''s thighs before trying to stand up.


    Fu Hee was so into the conversation with FangSu when she felt the little bun touch her. She nced at Jasmine with a smile and used one hand to help the little girl up, without knowing that she wasing straight for her phone.


    After she was standingfortably on her grandmother''s thigh, Jasmine reached out for the phone with her hands. Her actions were so funny that Fu Hee chuckled amidst the important matter FangSu was talking about.


    Fu Hee moved the phone away from her ear and turned to say to the little bun with a smile, "Do you want the phone now?"


    Jasmine nced at her and back to the phone while fiddling with her hands, before ncing can''t her grandmother and babbled.


    "Mum what are you doing? I''m talking about a serious matter here!" FangSu said in a slightly annoyed tone.


    Fu Hee put her phone on hands-free mode and replied, "Don''t raise your tone, there is a child here."


    FangSu was taken aback as she asked, "Brother''s child is there?"


    "Her name is Da Xia but you can call her Jasmine as her mother does." Fu Hee said with a smile.


    "Oh! Can I see her?" FangSu asked, forgetting about the matter she called to talk about.


    Fu Hee nced at the little bun who was now sitting obediently in her arms and paying attention to the phone and smiled.


    "You can''t see her till you apologize to your brother and his wife."


    "Mum, why are you like this, I will apologize to brother and Jia Li soon. I''m looking for the right opportunity to do that." FangSu said in a light tone.


    "After you have found the right opportunity to apologize and you''ve actually done that, you can see your niece any time you want. Your brother will also permit you to spend a few days at his ce if you want to." Fu Hee said to her.


    She hoped her daughter can drop her pride and be courageous to apologize to Fu Hua and Jia Li, so their family can be united once again.


    "Mum, you are so unfair!" FangSu said in a childish tone.


    "Mind yournguage, Da Xia is listening, don''t teach my granddaughter the wrong thing. Go ahead with what you were saying, I need to feed her soon." Fu Hee said to her.


    FangSu didn''t waste any more time as she told her mother everything that happened in the past 24 hours.


    Because of how sensitive the words were, Fu Hee roved her phone from handsfree mode and listened.? Luckily, the little bun became distracted by her toy that was singing, so she no more reached out for the phone again.


    After listening to FangSu, Fu Hee said to her, "Have you seen the kind of people Bai Jun and her mother were? It''s good that you came to your senses before you got to the point of no remedy."


    "I never knew that Bai Jun would be this bad to me. I thought we were friends but it turns out that she stopped seeing me that way since a long time ago." FangSu said.


    "Now, I hope you can do the right thing. I have to feed Da Xia now, it''s time for her to eat." Fu Hee said with her gaze on the little bun whose attention was on the toy she was putting in her mouth.


    "Okay, mum, go ahead," FangSu said and ended the call directly.


    At noon during lunch, Jia Li and Fu Hua came down for lunch. Fu Hua looked around for Jasmine but was told that she was sleeping, and only then did he put his attention on his food.


    Fu Hee joined Jia Li and Fu Hua at the dinner table to eat lunch. There was little or no conversation during dinner.


    "Mum, Jia Li and I will be going out this evening." Fu Hua informed.


    Fu Hee nced at them with a smile and asked, "Are you both going on a date?"


    Before Fu Hua could reply, Jia Li said, "Mum, we are going out to watch a movie."


    "What''s the difference, it''s a date." Fu Hee said and continued eating.


    Fu Hua was the first to leave the dinner table after eating.. He got up from his chair and kissed Jia Li''s cheek before walking away.

 Chapter 382 - Watch A Movie Or To Eat

    <h4>Chapter 382 - Watch A Movie Or To Eat</h4>


    When Fu Hee was sure that Fu Hua had left, she turned to Jia Li to ask, "Why didn''t you say anything about Bai Jun working in FJ?"


    Jia Li who was still in the atmosphere of Fu Hua''s sweetness was taken aback by the question. She nced at Fu Hee and said slowly, "I didn''t think it was a serious matter, I was also surprised to see her on my first day at FJ."


    Fu Hee sighed and said to her, "Jia Li, this is actually a serious matter but no one is ming you. I think that girl still has her eyes on Fu Hua but she is getting married soon, let''s hope that she wakes up from her fantasies."


    Jia Li was a little confused while thinking. She finally understood what her mother-inw was talking about but what can she say?


    "It''s all my fault for making a mistake in the past and now, the mistake can''t seem to go away." Fu Hee said with her head down.


    Jia Li nced at her and said, "Mum, there is no need to bring up the past, it doesn''t help. Forget about it and move on. Fu Hua doesn''t like her and that''s all that matters."


    Fu Hee looked up and smiled. "When I think about how much I offended you in the past and how kind and amodating you are to me now, I feel guilty and wondered who used a veil to cover my eyes in the past but all is good now.? Eat your food quickly and go and rest before leaving with Fu Hua for your date."


    Being reminded about their movie date in the evening, Jia Li smiled and hurried up to finish her food quickly before leaving for her bedroom, where Fu Hua was waiting for her.


    "What took you so long, do you know how long I''ve been waiting for you?" Fu Hua asked with a slight frown as he opened his arms for her toe andy on his chest.


    Jia Li smiled and walked over to immediately pounce on him. Fu Hua quickly wrapped his arms around her and shut his eyes while breathing in her scent.


    "That hurts..." Jia Li said with a slight frown. Just now when she pounced on him, her breasts hurt a little.


    Fu Hua opened his eyes and asked what was wrong, then Jia Li raised her head to point at her chest.


    Fu Hua sat up and asked while reaching out for her chest, "Does it hurt a lot? Let me massage them for you."


    Jia Li quickly hit his hands away and said, "I don''t need your help. Any time you massage my chest, I feel more pain than before."


    "That''s because I feel excited when I touch. But I promise to be gentle this time around." Fu Hua said as he adjusted their position and quickly slipped his hand inside her shirt to touch her breasts.


    Jia Liy on his body and said withints, "I wonder what FJ''s employees will think when they see what a rouge their Boss is."


    "You are one of FJ''s employees, what do you have to say about me?" Fu Hua asked with a light chuckle.


    "All I can say is that the Boss is a rogue!" Jia Li replied.


    "I can only ept this from you, as for the others, they don''t need to know about this side of me because I am only this way to my wife." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua chatted for a list while before deciding to take a little nap.


    When the time for their movie date came, they got dressed and left for the cinema. Fu Hua made sure to buy enough popcorn and juice for them to enjoy while watching a movie.


    While ncing at the biggest bowl of popcorn ????? and the curious gazes on them, Jia Li said to him, "Did wee here to watch a movie or to eat?"


    Fu Hua took her hand and walked into the cinema while saying, "I don''t want you to get hungry soon."


    While enjoying themselves at the cinema, Bai Jun was sitting out with her grandmother, mother and Aunties along with the Yang family.


    This was the first time the Bai family was officially meeting with the Yang family. Seeing her soon-to-be husband, Bai Jun was already disgusted as she could tell that he wasn''t as focused and capable as Fu Hua.


    She felt that he didn''t have half of the qualities Fu Hua had. She keptparing him with Fu Hua throughout their end of the meeting.


    Bai Jun''s soon-to-be husband, Yang Peng had his attention on Bai Jun. As Bai Jun was pretty and young, he liked her immediately and didn''t have any problem with the marriage arrangement.


    Luckily for Old Mrs. Bai, after mentioning that she wanted Bai Jun and Yang Peng to get married as soon as possible, in the next 2 weeks, the Yang family didn''t say much and agreed to it.


    The Bai family was still in a higher status than the Yang family and that was one of the things Bai Fen disliked, as she felt that her daughter wouldn''t befortable living in the Yang family.


    After finalizing the official date for the wedding, they began to talk about the engagement party or rather the Yang family made mention of it but Olddy Bai canceled it. She said that she didn''t want anything too big.


    "Mother, we can still make it small for our both families to attend and get to know more about each other." The third daughter-inw said.


    "What date should we fix it?" Olddy Bai asked.


    "Since the wedding is in 2 weeks, let''s give the engagement in 6 days, that is on Saturday." The first daughter-inw suggested.


    Olddy Bai turned to nce at the Yang family to ask, "Is it okay by you?"


    "Anything you say is okay. We are fine with the arrangements." Yang Peng''s father said with a smile.


    Since it was decided that Bai Jun and Yang Peng were going to have a white wedding, some major decisions were taken.. And before the two families departed, Bai Jun and Yang Pen exchanged contacts, much to Bai Jun''s annoyance.

 Chapter 383 - Bai Jun Warns Yang Peng

    <h4>Chapter 383 - Bai Jun Warns Yang Peng</h4>


    Quickly, Monday came and everyone was back to their various business. To Jia Li, it was a very long morning as the little bun clung to her and refused to part with her no matter what since she woke up.


    Jia Li felt an iing headache while staring at the little bun that wouldn''t let her eat in peace. Since Jasmine saw that her mother was all dressed up, she knew she was leaving the house and refused to let go of her.


    When Fu Hua tried to hold her, she refused and wanted only her mother to hold her.


    "Jasmine, did you see me in your dreamsst night?" Jia Li asked with a tired gaze on the little bun.


    "If she wasn''t too young, I would suggest we send her to the Fu house." Fu Hua said with his gaze on the stubborn little bun.


    "She is 6 months old and yes, she is still a baby. Sometimes I can''t scold her because I feel bad for having to leave her and go to work every day." Jia Li said in a soft tone as she kissed Jasmine''s hair.


    "It''s not your fault, that''s the situation we found ourselves in and we have to adjust to it." Fu Hua said from the side.


    Jia Li tried to breastfeed the little one to see if she would fall asleep but her ns failed. Jasmine refused to be decided today.


    "I have so many meetings today, otherwise, I wouldn''t mind taking her to work." Fu Hua said while caressing Jasmine''s hair that was packed in 2 buns.


    "Are you nning to show her off at work?" Jia Li asked.


    "Not necessarily. I can take her into my office and no one will notice but I have so much works to do and won''t have time to look after her." Fu Hua said with a sigh.


    "There is no need to bother yourself. I still have an hour to be at work, I will make her sleep. If she doesn''t, I will just have to cover my ears and run away, so I wouldn''t feel bad when she starts to cry." Jia Li said with a smile.


    Jia Li didn''t me her daughter for being fussy and clinging most of the time because she was still too young to be left alone for several hours without her parents by her side, so she felt guilty most of the time.


    Luck seemed to be by Jia Li''s side today because when she was almost about to give up, Jasmine fell asleep while sucking.


    Fu Hua smiled when he saw his wife sigh in relief as he knew what her prayer has been.


    Afterying Jasmine gently in her cot in the living room, Jia Li picked up her handbag and tiptoed away much to Fu Hua''s amusement.


    Jia Li got to work before Fu Hua and was in time to settle down before working hours started. Today, Bai Jun was not herself and ended up getting scolded by her supervisor for making some mistakes with the tasks he assigned to her.


    After breaks, Sunny made Jia Li her assistant to help her reach out to the other 5 students in her team and to help her with some tasks.


    As Saturday was fast approaching, news of Bai Jun''s engagement to Yang Pen sprayed in her circle. Those that were still on good terms with Bai Jun called to ask her about it but she ended up not taking their calls after she replied to one of them.


    FangSu was naturally happy when she heard the rumors and she couldn''t wait to make fun of Bai Jun.


    Since the engagement was a family thing, no friends were invited, so on Saturday afternoon, the Bai family and the Yang family met in a private room reserved for that asion.


    After Yang Peng slipped the engagement ring into her finger, it was time to make a toast but Bai Jun wasn''t in the mood. One re from her father was all it took for her toe back to her senses.


    Bai Jun and her mother have been obedient since their family lost the bid they needed so dearly to help with their business. Any misbehavior from them was enough for a death wish to be sent to them, so they have both beenputing themselves.


    After the engagement party ended, Yang Peng called Bai Jun out to see her privately.


    "Why did you call me out?" Bai Jun asked with a frown as she approached him.


    Yang Peng smiled and said to her, "My instinct tells me that you hate me and I don''t know what I must have done wrong to anger you."


    Bai Jun sneered and said straight to his face, "I will tell you so you won''t have to think too much about this meaningless union. I don''t like you one bit and I will never like you because my heart is set on someone else."


    The smile on Yang Pei''s face vanished as he said, "Since you said that you will never like me and that your heart is set on someone else, what is the point in going on with the marriage? I will call off the wedding right away."


    "Don''t you dare!" Bai Jun said to him with a re. If he called off the wedding because of what she said, wasn''t that going to make hernd in big trouble?


    "Why can''t I dare? Your grandmother told me on our first meeting that I cany out anyints I have, so do you think that you have the right tomand me?" Yang Peng asked with a frown. He was starting to like Bai Jun because she was beautiful and looked well-mannered even though she didn''t seem to be interested in their marriage. But with her saying that she will never like him and with her disrespectful tone, he decided not to be polite with her.


    "Are you threatening me?" Bai Jun asked in anger. She was angry with Yang Peng mentioning her grandmother and reminding her about her words.. She felt that he had no right to threaten her since her family was in a better position than his, so she looked down on him.

 Chapter 384 - We Cant Do Anything

    <h4>Chapter 384 - We Can''t Do Anything</h4>


    "I''m not threatening you. I''m just saying what I want to do because I don''t like your attitude. I was forced into this marriage as well but I was trying to work things out with you. But it looks like it''s not possible. I don''t want to live with someone who is rude and wouldn''t regard me." Yang Peng said and walked away.


    The only thing Bai Jun thought was that she was in deep trouble if Yang Peng goes to report her and cancel their marriage, so she stopped him.


    "There is no need to cancel the marriage because I have already made up my mind for it." Bai Jun said to him.


    Yang Peng removed his arm from her grasp and said to her with a deep frown on his face, "You are not acting like someone that has made up her mind for this marriage. Today you stopped me from canceling this marriage and remember that I won''t tolerate your arrogant attitude and your insults again."


    After giving her a clear warning, Yang Peng walked away out of annoyance. He has already warned her ahead of time and it was up to her to choose to cross the line or not to.


    Now left alone, Bai Jun was so angry that she stomped her foot. She thought she would be the one to have the upper hand in this new disgusting rtionship but it turns out that the person she was getting married to, was not a fool.


    After checking things out and discovering that she couldn''t control him, she was very angry. She was at a big disadvantage. And now, she wasn''t allowed to vent her anger and frustration on him.


    After releasing a deep breath, Bai Jun turned around only to see one of her Aunties standing beside a pir and was watching her with her arms crossed.


    Bai Jun was shocked as she didn''t how long she has been standing there and how much she hearned.


    The third daughter-inw of the Bai family had a sharp gaze on Bai Jun as she approached her.


    "Give me one reason I shouldn''t p you and report you to your father and grandmother?" The woman in herte forties asked.


    Bai Jun''s heart skipped a beat as she confirmed that her Auntie heard everything she said to Yang Peng. Seeing her fierce gaze, Bai Jun lowered her gaze and replied in a low tone...


    "I''m sorry. I said those words out of anger. I lied and I didn''t mean them. If you hit me now, everyone will see my face and know that something went wrong. I promise to behave."


    The woman scoffed and said with a serious gaze, "Bai Jun, do you think you will survive if Yang Peng cancels this marriage? Tsk...tsk I promise you that I will kill you! Do you see how much your cousins and uncles are suffering in thepany because of you? I will return the same pain to you a thousand folds if you go out of line again. Bai Jun, you better behave or I will save everyone the stress of worrying too much and get rid of you since you can''t be redeemed."


    Bai Jun still had her gaze lowered as she listened to the threats. she didn''t dare to raise her head or say a word after being caught in the act. Her life would be meaningless if the words she said to Yang Peng got into her father''s or grandmother''s ears.


    "You just offended someone who you wouldn''t have had any problems with if you respected yourself but it looks like you will have to rely on yourself and your monthly sry because you won''t be getting anything from the family again and I wish you luck with finding a means to take care of yourself."


    This piece of news was shocking to Bai Jun because she was never expecting that her family would cut her off financially once she got married. This was another turning point for her. She was so angry that she would hardly keep her mood in check when she went back to the room full of people.


    When Bai Jun got back home, she went straight to her bedroom and her mother followed her immediately when she noticed that she was not in a good mood.


    "Jun did something happen at the hotel?" Bai Fen asked in a worried tone.


    Bai Jun skipped the important matter and went straight to tell her about being cut off financially from the family


    Bai Fen sighed and said to her, "No matter how unfair this is to you, we can''t do anything and I am helpless. Don''t worry too much, I will send you some money every month. I will not allow you tock anything."


    "Thank you, mum!" Bai Jun said as she finally felt a little relieved. She almost felt like crying with the changes in her life, but who could she cry to?


    When Bai Fen went back to her bedroom, she thought how much her daughter had had to suffer for more than a week now both in the family and at work and her heart was almost bleeding.


    Picking up her phone, Bai Fen took advantage when her husband was not in the room and called Chyou. Bai Fen called to ask her to look after Bai Jun at work but Chyou rejected her.


    "We don''t have any business together after your daughter got into FJ. I am not her instructor here at work and besides, your daughter will face many challenges if she wants to make a foothold here."


    Bai Fen didn''t get to say anything again before Chyou ended the call.


    "You ungrateful woman! After spending so much money on you, you don''t care about my daughter''s affairs!" Bai Fen cursed angrily.


    She knew that Chyou didn''t owe her anything but she was expecting her to show a little care towards her daughter while at work, given how much she spent on her.


    Monday came too fast again and everyone was back to work. Bai Jun became the center of attention because of the ring on her finger and it was also then that the others noticed that Jia Li wore one as well.


    Since they have been working together, no one has really paid attention to Jia Li''s fingers as it was normal for youngdies to put on rings these days....

 Chapter 385 - A Class With The Newbies

    <h4>Chapter 385 - A ss With The Newbies</h4>


    Bai Jun didn''t have a choice but to wear the ring because she has caused too many troubles for herself recently, and in other not to get into another one, she had to put on the ring.


    "JL are you married?." Linda asked in a surprised tone. She had no idea of her marital status since none of them haven''t had the time to bond yet.


    Jia Li smiled and replied, "Yes, I am." She seemed proud to announce the fact that she was married.


    "Wow! I had no idea." Linda said with a smile. She was in the same group as Jia Li, so they often conversed with each other.


    "What about you, Jun, you are engaged, when is your wedding?." Linda asked with her gaze on Bai Jun who didn''t seem to be in a good mood to socialize.


    All attention was now on Bai Jun, as they were all waiting for her reply, and this gave Bai Jun no choice but to answer them. "My wedding is on Saturday."


    "What! It''s here already! Why don''t you take leave to n your wedding, there must be so many works to do." One of them suggested.


    "Yes, your wedding is in a few days, why don''t you take the week off?." Another said with a frown.


    Bai Jun was getting irritated by their concern, but she had to pretend to be in a good mood. She didn''t understand the reason they were so interested in her matter.


    "My family doesn''t want me to be tired out, so they let me continue with my work since I optioned for it." Bai Jun lied smoothly.


    "If that is the case, then you''re lucky." A male newbie like them said.


    "If I were to be getting married, I''m so taking 2 weeks off from work. One week before my wedding and one week after my wedding to enjoy my honeymoon." Marie said with a proud look.


    Linda nced at Bai Jun and asked, "Do you have ns for your honeymoon?"


    Bai Jun heaved a sigh and said to her, "Honeymoon willeter, I just got into FJ, I need to keep a track record."


    "You take your work so important, that''s good!." One of them said with a smile.


    "Who wouldn''t take their work seriously after going through a lot to get a spot in FJ, and we are still currently under probation." Another reminded all of them.


    "That''s right! Jun, since your wedding, is on Saturday, why haven''t we seen your invitation?" Marie asked, and others gave curious nces at her.


    Bai Jun was tongue-tied. She didn''t want them toe to her wedding because she wasn''t getting married to the person she loved. She also had no idea about what kind of ns her grandmother and Aunties had for her wedding so she didn''t want to give them an invite.


    "It''s not a big party." Bai Jun said to them.


    "It doesn''t matter, we are expecting to see your invitation card tomorrow," Marie said with a smile before walking away.


    "It''s time for our morning sses, who has an idea of who our teacher will be for today?" Linda asked in an excited tone as they all made their way towards their normal lecture room to get ready for their sses.


    "I''m also curious. Do you think it will be the Big Boss?." One of them asked.


    Jia Li became nervous as she thought of the possibility of Fu Hua taking them for their ss today. She didn''t know the kind of attitude he would approach them with, and she also didn''t know how to face him.


    At home, she was her husband, and she sometimes argued with him and he made jokes with her. But at work, they had another rtionship. He was her big Boss and she couldn''t easily reach him.


    "I hope to see the Big Boss today, at least he should grant us the honor of seeing him for the first time since we joined FJ," Linda said with an expectant smile.


    Hearing them talk about Fu Hua, Bai Jun''s heartbeat increased as she became expectant. She couldn''t wait to see the love of her life, so she thought.


    After everyone settled down, they becameposed while waiting for their teacher of the day to arrive.


    Fu Hua on the other hand was going through some documents in his office when his assistant knocked and walked in.


    "Boss, you have a ss with the newbie in 5 minutes." Zimo reminded.


    Fu Hua who had almost forgotten about the ss nced at his wristwatch and saw that it was almost time and got to his feet. Picking up the lecture note he prepared, he walked out of his office with Zimo walking behind him.


    On his way to the lecture room, Fu Hua was smiling to himself while thinking of how he was going to see his wife, and what her reaction would be.


    Fu Hua made use of his private elevator to get to the floor for the lecture. He came in at exactly 10 on the dot. And as he walked in with Zimo, his steady footsteps were like rhythm to the hearts of the expectant.


    When you see a hot tall handsome young man who is also your Big Boss, it will be difficult for you not to resist the temptation of gushing over his looks, especially for the youngdies, and that was what was going on right now.


    As soon as Fu Hua stepped into the room, the hearts of the young girls melted including those that were dating, engaged, and married. All of them had their gazes locked on him as they gushed over him.


    Jia Li was really surprised by her husband with a different aura, and she felt that he looked more handsome and outstanding than ever. Seeing how his looks and charisma were much appreciated by her colleges, Jia Li began to feel a sense of ownership for Fu Hua.


    As for Bai Jun, she dropped her worries immediately she saw Fu Hua She was no longer feeling heavy-hearted after seeing the man that was after her heart, and forgetting in the sensitive position she was put in, because of the Fu family, she couldn''t wait for Fu Hua to see her.

 Chapter 386 - Fu Hua Calls Jia Li Out

    <h4>Chapter 386 - Fu Hua Calls Jia Li Out</h4>


    When Fu Hua stopped in front of the podium, he was already annoyed with the manner the newbies were staring hungrily at him and making hushed noises, so he looked to give them a sharp look, and that made all of them shut up andport themselves.


    "Oh my God, I love how he''s fierce!." One of thedies said in a low tone as she blushed. Bai Jun who was sitting next to her red at her, but no one saw that.


    With his hands in his pockets, Fu Hua took his time giving each one of them a good look with a deep frown on his face.


    Finally, his gaze locked with Jia Li, and to Jia Li''s surprise, his facial expression didn''t change as he nced over at the next person beside her.


    ''Is he ignoring me?'' Jia Li thought to herself when she didn''t notice any change in his facial expression, not knowing that Fu Hua was more than happy to see her, and the reason he looked away so quickly was so that he wouldn''t smile at her.


    After ncing at a few students more, Fu Hua saw Bai Jun who was smiling eagerly at him. It was as if she has been waiting for a long time just for him to see her.


    It was at this point that Fu Hua''s facial expression changed. He couldn''t keep up with the normal facade and couldn''t help expressing his deep annoyance through his gaze.


    Fu Hua had no idea that Bai Jun was also a newbie in FJ as this was the first time he was seeing her. He began to wonder how she made it with the difficult stages in thepetition and decided to investigate it.


    Bai Jun could feel Fu Hua''s annoyance from his gaze on her, and slowly, the smile on her face disappeared, and she began to wonder if hated her just like the rest of his family.


    Fu Hua didn''t want time on Bai Jun and continued with the nces on other students, and finally, after meeting the gazes of everyone in the room, He went on to start something to them.


    "I''m not going to introduce myself. If you don''t know me, you shouldn''t be here, because I''m sure all of you got my basic information before getting into FJ." Fu Hua said while giving them asional nces.


    Next, he made a statement that shocked all of them. "When I walked into the room, I saw that a good number of you were ogling at me. Please don''t look at me that way, I am married, and I hate it when I''m being stared at that way."


    Fu Hua was so straight to the point that everyone was taken by surprise. Most of thedies felt bad that they couldn''t stare at their male god in admiration. I mean, he had such good looks, and he is tall, wealthy, and smart, who wouldn''t like to fantasize about him?


    Zimo who was standing at one side, couldn''t help smiling to himself because he knew thedy Boss was sitting amid the newbies, and his boss had to say such words, how sweet of him.


    The same way Zimo thought, was how Jia Li felt. Never in her wildest imagination did she think that Fu Hua would give that kind of rule. It was difficult not to admire someone like him, nevertheless, she felt sweet inside.


    The same couldn''t be said for Bai Jun who was gritting her teeth ???? in anger. She already knew that Jia Li and Fu Hua were married, and with him saying those words, wasn''t it akin to dering his love and faithfulness? Had it been she didn''t know who he was married to, she wouldn''t be so angry.


    The otherdies felt that it was too bad that since their male god was already married, and from the look of things, he loves his wife so much.


    "The reason I''m saying this is that, if I catch anyone fantasizing about me, I will immediately walk the person out of FJ. My second rule is that if I ask you a question, and you fail to answer it, you will lose a point. Now let''s get to the agenda of the day." Fu Hua said as he opened his booklet and introduced the topic he would be handling them on.


    Everyone in the room could feel that Fu Hua was not there to joke with them, so they immediately behaved and pay attention to him. And it was now they knew that he was truly the big boss.


    Since the section had to do with measuring and cutting materials, things were already prepared before Fu Hua came in.


    After talking for a few minutes to introduce them to the topic, it was time for him to demonstrate.


    Fu Hua picked up the booklet he came with and read out the measurements he would be working with for the ss.


    It took Jia Li a lot of willpower not to scream and question him on the spot when she heard her measurements being mentioned. She could hardly hide her facial expression while staring at him in surprise, but it was too bad that Fu Hua didn''t spare her a nce, which made her think if he was doing it on purpose.


    After announcing the measurements he would be working with, Fu Hua picked up a chalk and began to draw on the sample of material on the big table beside the podium.


    After drawing for a short while because he was too fast, he picked up a pair of scissors ?? from the table and asked while ying with it, to the amazement of his students.


    "One of you is going to demonstrate your cutting techniques for all of us to see." Fu Hua announced while staring at them, and everyone began to anticipate the person he was going to call out.


    Whether they had a good cutting technique or not, many of them wanted to be called out and stand next to Fu Hua, so they could have a sense of achievement.


    While ncing at them, Fu Hua''s gaze came to rest on Jia Li, and he discovered that she wasn''t paying attention. A frown appeared on his face as he immediately called her out...


    "JL, you have sold a few pieces of your designs to FJ, now can youe up here and show us your cutting techniques?"

 Chapter 387 - At Least You Learned Well

    <h4>Chapter 387 - At Least You Learned Well</h4>


    Jia Li was taken aback by the order. Because she was lost in thought, she didn''t think she heard him clearly, and so remained sitting with a confused gaze.


    To others, they were a bit jealous that the Big Boss knew Jia Li''s initials, but most of them thought nothing more about it since she has somehow worked with FJ before now.


    Seeing her Jia Li remained sitting with that confused gaze, Fu Hua fixed his gaze on her without saying anything as a frown appeared on his face. He didn''t n to repeat his words.


    Fu Hua was thinking of what was going on in Jia Li''s mind to make her that lost in thought that even when he called her name, she wasn''t able to get the question he asked.


    Linda who was sitting next to Jia Li nudged her and whispered to her with a hand over her mouth, "Mr. Fu said you should go and demonstrate your cutting skills to us."


    "Oh... thank you!." Jia Li said with a nod as she got up from her seat and walked towards the stage while talking to herself as all eyes were on her.


    ''Darling, shouldn''t you have repeated your question? why must you make things awkward for me?''


    The situation didn''t sit right well with Bai Jun who thought that Fu Hua couldn''t help showing off Jia Li in front of them as his wife secretly.


    The reason Bai Jun thought differently was that she already knows the true rtionship between them.


    When Jia Li came to the stage, Fu Hua pointed at the table and asked her to show them her cutting style, and without saying anything, Jia Li walked towards the table and picked up the scissors.


    As all eyes were on her, she was a bit nervous, coupled with Fu Hua''s gaze. If she dared to make a mistake since she dared to space out when he was teaching, she was sure to get a scolding from him, or point deduction.


    After calming her nerves down with deep breaths, Jia Li held the material and started cutting them with the measurements Fu Hua marked on it.


    From her skills, her colleagues could tell that she was quite good. When she was done cutting the materials, she put the scissors on the table and turned to nce at Fu Hua who had his gaze on her.


    Giving a slight bow, she said, "Mr. Fu, I am done cutting the materials."


    It felt like they had gone back to the old days where she used to address Fu Hua as Mr. Fu, and that was before they became close.


    Zimo went over to the table and picked up the materials Jia Li had cut and shown them to Fu Hua.


    "Not bad. At least you learned well. You can go back to your seat." Not even a smile appeared on Fu Hua''s face as he said that.


    The only thing that managed not to throw Jia Li into confusion as she went back to her seat, was the fact that she was guessing the reason he was acting this way was that they were in front of people.


    After Jia Li went back to her seat to the envy of Bai Jun and Mari¨¦, Fu Hua continued to teach them and went on to show them his cutting skills and gaze them a few pointers.


    Seeing how fast he was abs how he cut the materials sharply without a stroke out of ce, the newbies were wowed by his skills.


    When the ss was over, Fu Hua left without giving them any tasks. He was all smiles when he walked through the hallway with Zimo behind him.


    Fu Hua was happy that his wife did not disappoint, and that was the main reason he asked her toe out and show her skills.


    When the newbies went back to their desks, they began to work on the little tasks given to them.


    Just before the lunch break, Sunny came out of her office with a thick file and came to find Jia Li.


    "Jia Li,e with me," Sunny said with her gaze on Jia Li. Thetter didn''t know why she was called, but she quickly paused her work and immediately followed after her.


    Sunny took Jia Li to take the elevator, and it was there that she told her where they were going. "I''m taking you to officially introduce you to our Boss. You sold a few of your designs to us, and now that you are working here, it would be good to let him know you are here."


    Jia Li was really confused as she thought if it was necessary. She also didn''t know what kind of attitude Fu Hua was going to give her. Before she could express her opinion to Sunny, thetter said...


    "You are also my assistant and will be helping me with simple tasks like this. So, it wouldn''t be bad if he sees you with me now, and I hope he really agrees to this." Sunny said in a low tone as they both got off the elevator.


    What can Jia Li say? She didn''t have the right to say anything and went along with her direct superior. Now that she was Sunny''s assistant, she will be the one running little errands like taking files, documents to Fu Hua for approval or signing since Sunny as the Creative art director is always very busy.


    Sunny was another workaholic Jia Li had seen. And also seeing that she was young and had a sessful career because of the quality time she out into her work, Jia Li knew that she had a long way to go.


    Having approached the door to Fu Hua''s office, Sunny pressed a button on the door, and Fu Hua who was inside his office nced at the small monitor on his desk and saw Sunny standing outside his door, so he opened it by pressing a button on the monitor.


    "Let''s go in," Sunny said to Jia Li with a smile before walking inside.. This was Jia Li''s second time in Fu Hua''s office, and she still can not manage to get her mind off the beautiful and spacious ssy office.

 Chapter 388 - Her Superiors Reject Her Invitation

    <h4>Chapter 388 - Her Superiors Reject Her Invitation</h4>


    Fu Hua was surprised to see Jia Lie in with Sunny and it was toote to mask his surprised gaze because Sunny saw it, but she didn''t think much of it.


    "Mr. Fu, this is Jia Li, my assistant." Sunny introduced Jia Li with a smile.


    "I see. Take a seat." Fu Hua said as gestured for Sunny to sit in front of him before turning to nce at Jia Li who was still standing and asked her to sit on the couch.


    After taking a seat, Sunny handed the files in her hand to Fu Hua and started talking about the new travel bags and suitcases they wereunching along with matching bags and shoes for thedies.


    As Jia Li satfortably on the couch, she remembered the first time she came to FJ and stepped into Fu Hua''s office and how well he treated her. But today, the situation was different, so she thought.


    Fu Hua and Sunny engaged in a conversation concerning the new products they were tounch soon. They both talked till it was time for a break.


    "I will go through all of them and get back to you soon." Fu Hua said to Sunny in conclusion.


    When Sunny and Jia Li were about to leave his office, Jia Li and Fu Hua''s gazes met. Fu Hua smiled and winked ???? at her, and Jia Li couldn''t help but smile as well. But her smile disappeared quickly before she would be caught by Sunny.


    As Jia Li and Sunny made their way to the elevator, Sunny said to her, "Jia Li I''m sorry for keeping you away from your tasks for a long time. Don''t worry, I will adjust your schedule to make up for the time you lost."


    "Thank you, Miss Sunny." Jia Li said with a polite smile. She was grateful that Sunny seemed to care about her.


    While others were working, she was in her husband''s office sitting there and doing nothing, which wasn''t the best, so Sunny understood how precious time was and apologized to Jia Li and also offered to make up for it.


    When Fu Hua came home in the evening, he went to hug his wife. He hugged her from behind and breathed in her scent and asked, "Why were you absent-minded during my lectures today?"


    Jia Li smiled and replied, "I couldn''t behold he''d handsome you were, so I was lost in thought while thinking how you belonged to me."


    Fu Hua chuckled and kissed her neck. "You''ve learned to say cheesy words."


    "You thought me." Jia Li replied as sheughed heartily because Fu Hua continued to kiss her neck.


    "I will punish you for not paying attention in my ss today." Fu Hua said as he turned her over and immediately pulled her to him.


    As he locked her in his embrace, he leaned in to capture her lips with his mouth. As he kissed her softly, Jia Li couldn''t help smiling. She loved this man who belonged only to her even though he was an idol to many people.


    After delivering a deep kiss, Fu Hua tried to put his hands inside her shirt, but she turned him down.


    "No way, get your hands off me. Go and take a shower, I need to take Jasmine out to the garden." Jia Li said with a smile.


    Fu Hua sighed and kissed her cheek before letting her go. "I will go take a shower then." He said and disappeared into the inner room.


    At the Bai family residence. Bai Jun met her grandmother to request some invitation cards.


    "What do you need them for?." Olddy Bai asked with a frown. Now, she didn''t trust her granddaughter as thetter didn''t give her any reason to do so.


    "I want to invite my colleagues and my superiors from work." Bai Jun replied. Because of the way she was bombarded because of her wedding invitation at work, she decided to get a few invitations for them.


    "By superiors at work, who do you mean?." Old Lady Bai asked with a frown. She thought that Bai Jun thought of giving the wedding invitation to Fu Hua since he was also her superior at work.


    Bai Jun could tell what her grandmother was thinking and felt annoyed within her, but she managed to hide her feelings.


    "My coach at work. He supervises me directly in the course of this production period." Bai Jun replied.


    "There is no need to invite him, this is a small-scale wedding, and just got into FJ." Olddy Bai said to her.


    "But it will look bad from my side if I don''t give him an invite as everyone already know that I''m getting married on Saturday." Bai Jun said with a frown. Now, she needed a reason to give out her wedding invitation.


    Olddy Bai felt that she was right and allowed her to take some invitations to give to her colleges and superiors at work.


    The next day at work, Bai Jun gave out her wedding invitations to the colleges that she was close to, but when she tried giving her invitation to Sunny, thetter nced at the wedding card in her hand and gave it back to her.


    "I won''t be free this Saturday, so I can''te. Congrattions in advance." Sunny said to her with a smile.


    Bai Jun smiled and left after a polite bow. But deep in her heart, she was already cursing. She felt that nobody in FJ cared about her.


    When she gave the invite to Chyou, thetter doesn''t even take it from her and asked, "Why are you giving it to me, are we close?."


    When Bai Jun gave her invitation to her supervisor, he said he wasn''t interested in it, but congratted her.


    So far, Sunny was the most polite one amongst them, but still, Bai Jun wasn''t satisfied. She felt that everyone loved Jia Li more than her.


    When the Fu family received Bai Jun''s wedding invitation which was sent by Olddy Bai, Grandfather didn''t bother to nce at it as he said he wasn''t interested.


    FaangSu wanted to go to the wedding and talked about it at the dinner table, but grandfather Fu refused.


    "There is no need to go there. You are not friends with that Bai girl, so why are interested in her wedding?.." Grandfather Fu asked with creased brows.

 Chapter 389 - Fu Hee Leaves For The Fu Residence

    <h4>Chapter 389 - Fu Hee Leaves For The Fu Residence</h4>


    Fu Meixu smiled and spoke up at this time. "Grandfather, we have to go and represent the Fu family, so people won''t say that we are on bad terms with the Bai family."


    "We are already on bad terms with the Bai family, what''s there to hide?." Fu Geming asked with his gaze on his daughter.


    "But old Mrs. Fu doesn''t think that way. Father doesn''t need to show up, the young ones will represent us well." Fu ChuHua said with a confident smile.


    "Why do I feel like they are going there to cause trouble?." Fu YingPei whispered to Fu Ling.


    "I think so too." Fu Ling whispered in a low tone.


    YingPei and Fu Ling knew that their family and the Bai''s can never go back to how they used to roll again. And FangSu who is now enemies with her once-in-a-lifetime best friend was surely attending the wedding to cause trouble or to make fun of Bai Jun.


    "Grandfather, even if you''re noting for the wedding, at least allow us to go," FangSu whined like a child.


    "Have you apologized to your brother and Li girl?." Grandfather Fu asked with raised brows.


    FangSu''s facial expression changed as she stopped acting like a child. She looked away from her grandfather and pouted her lips.


    Fu Meixu smiled and continued eating her food as everyone was quiet with their gazes on FangSu.


    "You still haven''t apologized to your brother?!." Fu Lei asked in an angry tone.


    FangSu was scared that he was going to hit her and flinched.


    "I didn''t say I wasn''t going to apologize, it takes a lot of courage to do that, so I''m preparing my heart. I will apologize after the wedding." FangSu replied and picked up her chopsticks.


    "You are looking for courage? Why can''t I remember that you also looked for courage before causing a lot of trouble?." Fu Wei asked while pointing fingers at her. He was so mad at her that he could hit her at that moment.


    "Fu Wei, even you have forgotten your table manners. Why are you yelling during dinner? Eat your food, you can scold herter." Grandfather Fu said after a sigh.


    FangSu was lucky to be saved by the old man and continued eating her food and forgetting to mention the marriage talks again.


    Today''s afternoon, Bai Jun went her wedding dress fittings with her mother and aunties. Since this was not the perfect wedding she had in mind where she would get married to the love of her life, Bai Jun wasn''t worried about getting a customized wedding dress.


    And even if she wanted a customized dress just to show off, her family would never let her, given how many times she has offended them.


    The two daughters-inw of the Bai family sat and watched Bai Jun try on the wedding dresses in her size. At least, the gave her the freedom to pick her choice of wedding dress. And it''s not like Bai Jun was interested in picking a perfect dress, but her mother made sure she chose a good dress even if she wasn''t getting married to Fu Hua. At least she had to look good, so she thought.


    After shopping for the wedding dress, shoe, and bouquet ???? they all returned to the Bai residence to show the olddy what they got.


    On Friday evening after Jia Li and Fu Hua came home from work, Fu Hee was ready to leave for the Fu house as she would be attending the Wedding. Grandfather Fu asked her to join the others to keep everyone in check, as he wouldn''t want his family members to cross the line.


    Fu Hua was holding the cute little bun in his arms as she pped her hands with her pacifier in her mouth.


    "Say Bye to your grandmother." Jia Li said to the little bun with a smile. Jasmine nced at Fu Hee and pped excitedly while babbling. The little girl looked so happy.


    Fu Hua smiled and said to her, "Are you that happy that I''m leaving for a few days?."


    The little bun slowly stopped pping as her gaze turned innocent, then the next month, she giggled and pped her hands again.


    Jia Li and Fu Heeughed out loud, while Fu Hua smiled proudly at his little princess.


    "Mum, I will walk you to the car." Jia Li said as she held Fu Hee''s arm.


    "It''s so cold outside, there is no need." Fu Hee said with a smile, but Jia Li insisted, so Fu Hee had no. House than to allow her to walk her outside.


    "Jasmine, say bye." Fu Hua said as he held Jasmine''s hand and waved it at Fu Hee. Fu Hee smiled and waved back at the little bun before walking out the door with Jia Li.


    "I will be back soon to take care of Da Xia." Fu Hee said to Jia Li.


    "Mum, spend the weekend well, you need to go out often as you are always cooked up at home with Jasmine." Jia Li said with a frown.


    Since Fu Hee started staying with them, she doesn''t go out and her social life has be boring, so Jia Li was worried about that.


    "Then next weekend, let''s go to the spa." Fu Hee suggested.


    "Okay, bye. Send my regards to grandfather." Jia Li said as she waved at Fu Hee who got into the back seat of the car. Fu Hee waved back with a smile before the car drove away.


    When Jia Li returned inside the house, the little bun was already ying with her father on the mat, so she joined them.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua were not going to Bai Jun''s wedding as they had no business with her and the Bai family. Now, the family of three had the weekend to themselves.


    Quickly, the next day came and it was the day Bai Jun would get married to Yang Peng. FangSu and Fu Meixu dressed so beautifully like they were going to steal the show.


    Fu Meixu was a celebrity, so it was given that she had to dress beautifully when going for a public event. As for FangSu, she specially ordered a very beautiful dress that could be used for the red carpet of the MET G.


    These two daughters of the Fu family were dressed to garner attention from Bai Jun''s guests, and they areing in hot.

    <h4>Chapter 390 - FangSu And Fu Meixu Bickers</h4>


    Bai Jun, Fu Meixu, Fu Hee, and Fu ChuHua were all dressed up and ready to leave for the wedding. FangSu wanted them to leave early, so they would watch Bai Jun say her wedding vows and exchange rings with the person that she never dreamed of having a future with. FangSu wanted to capture every moment she thought would be heart-wrenching to Bai Jun.


    "There is no point in arriving early. You should walk in during the reception, so all attention will be on you. You have to walk in like a princess from a Royal family so that heads will turn at your arrival." Fu Meixu said. She preferreding inte so that all attention would be on her.


    "Are youdies going to attend a wedding or to draw attention to yourselves?." Fu Hee asked with a frown.


    "Allow them to enjoy themselves." Fu ChuHua said with a proud look. She too loved dramas and would wholeheartedly support FangSu and Fu Meixu in their ns.


    Atst, they left for the wedding on time. But when they got to the church, FangSu already had a change of mind. In other not to lose out on her cousin stealing the limelight during the wedding reception, she decided to sit in the car with her, while Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua went in for the wedding. But before then, FangSu passed her phone over to her mother to record Bai Jun saying her vows to her husband, but Fu Hee refused.


    "You want me to embarrass myself, no way!." Fu Hee said. Fu ChuHua on the other hand said to FangSu with a smile, "I will capture the scene with my phone."


    "By the way, what are you going to do with the video?." Fu Hee asked.


    "In case Bai Jun wants to step out of line, I will send her the video of her exchanging vows with her dearest husband, as a reminder to behave as she is married," FangSu said with a smile.


    True to Fu ChunHua''s promise, she really took the video when Bai Jun was exchanging vows with Yang Peng when the priest pronounced them as husband and wife, and he asked them to kiss, and that was the awkward moment of the day.


    When the priest said, ''You may now kiss the bride'' Yang Peng refused to move an inch. He had already sad his fake vows, so there was no meaning and reason to kiss Bai Jun.


    Bai Jun on other hand didn''t want to have any physical contact with Yang Peng as she was saying her body for the man after her heart, but ncing at the congregation and seeing her family, colleagues from work, friends from her social circle, moreover, Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua representing the Fu family, She didn''t mind kissing her now-husband to save herself from embarrassment.


    But seeing how Yang Peng wasn''t making any move and the atmosphere was turning awkward, Bak Jun gritted her teeth and took a step forward.


    She leaned over and kissed Yang Peng on the lips, and everyone apuded them, as most of them thought that Yang Peng was a shy groom, while Bai Jun was the bold bride.


    Bai Jun didn''t really kiss Yang Peng, instead, she just ced her lips on his lips for a few seconds before moving away with a fake smile. Yang Peng was initially surprised by her bold move earlier, butter, he scoffed and couldn''t wait to walk away.


    When FangSu was watching the video, she couldn''t help chuckling loudly when she watched that part. After watching the video, she sent it to her phone and returned Fu ChuHua''s phone to her while thanking her.


    "It''s nothing. It was fun to watch and share." Fu ChuHua replied.


    "I can finally sigh in relief now that Bai Jun is married. But I hope that she doesn''t cause any trouble in FJ." Fu Hua said at loud.


    "She would be courting death if she tries it," FangSu said with a smile.


    "Sometimes, one would want to fourth death when they are tired of living." Fu Meixu chipped in.


    "You would like you''ve tried it before, you can share it with us," FangSu said as she made fun of her while Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua had their gazes on them.


    "You think it''s funny? I am an actress, so I love to think of plots." Fu Meixu said when she saw her mother''s gaze on her.


    "Admit it, you have always been a viiness," FangSu said with a smirk.


    "Who turned me into one?." Fu Meixu said with a fierce gaze. She could still recall the memories of their childhood of how FangSu was the most favored and used to look down on her. Till today, those memories still hurt her.


    "It''s not my fault that you were not smart when you were younger, you grew upte, but it''s saving your ass in the entertainment industry right?." FangSu asked as she blew on her red-polished artificial long nails.


    "What did you just say?." Fu Meixu asked with a frown as she was react to fight it out with FangSu.


    "Are you two trying to fight in the Van right in our presence?." Fu ChuHua asked.


    Fu Hee frowned as she said to them, "I''m not against you girls fighting, you can fo itter when we get home, but if you insist on fighting inside their van, then we would have to forgo the wedding reception and go back home, after all, it would be a wonderful sight for your grandfather to behold."


    Fu Hee''s threat worked because FangSu and Fu Meixu rolled their eyes at each other before looking away.


    "Finally we can have some peace." Fu ChuHua said as she closed her eyes and restedfortably on the seat.


    Because of the wedding and to keep an eye on FangSu and Fu Meixu so they wouldn''t cause trouble, Fu Hee picked the Van so they could all travel to the Wedding Venue and the reception, together.

 Chapter 391 - FangSu Humiliates Bai Jun

    <h4>Chapter 391 - FangSu Humiliates Bai Jun</h4>


    Saturday Saturday Saturday... was surely a day to rx, because Jia Li and Fu Hua were watching a cartoon with Jasmine. The little one was sitting in between them on the couch with her eyes and all her attention on the TV. At this point even if her mother dressed up to leave, she wouldn''t even notice until the TV goes off.


    From time to time, Jasmine would babble, p her hands excitedly, and move her hands and feet about while watching the Baby Tv. Her parents found her actions funny and continued keeping their eyes on her.


    When it was time for Jasmine to eat, the little girl still had all her focus on her cartoon, so Jia Li brought her bottle of milk and gave it to her.


    For a brief moment, Jasmine grabbed her bottle of milk from her mother and tried to put it in her mouth, and went on to suck on it before taking it out of her mouth and ying with it while her eyes were on the TV.


    "You don''t want your food now?." Jia Li asked as she took the bottle from her.


    "She''s got something more fun to watch." Fu Hua replied with a smile.


    Jia Li tried to put the bottle in Jasmine''s mouth, but the little girl pushed it away with a nce before turning back to the Tv and continued babbling excitedly.


    Jia Li nced at her and back at the TV before picking up the remote to turn it off. This was like a dream to Jasmine because she was watching something interesting and it suddenly went off.


    The little bun turned to nce at her mother in time to see her put the remote on the table in front of them.


    "Now I have your attention." Jia Li said to her as she carried her in her arms and started feeding her through the bottle.


    Fu Hua couldn''t help smiling as he said to her, "When Jasmine is staying by herself, you will want to hold her. But if she is crying, you will want to run away, I haven''t seen a mother like you."


    "That''s because I''m the first one." Jia Li replied with a smile. The little bun in her arms drank her milk obediently with her gaze going between her mother and her father.


    At Bai Jun''s reception, Bai Jun and Yang Peng were just weed in, and all attention was on them before FangSu and Fu Meixu decided to pop in.


    Heads turned as FangSu and Fu Meixu made their way into the hall with smiles on their faces. Both of their mothers had already gone in before now.


    Bai Jun and Yang Peng nce over from the state to see FangSu and Fu Meixu walking down the red carpet in stunning dresses, and she knew they were here to steal her show because their actions were on purpose.


    Bai Fen nced over from where she was sitting and a big frown appeared on her face. "What is wrong with the people of the Fu family, are thru were here to steal the spotlight."


    "You are the only one who would think like that. I like their dresses, it is expected of them to dress up that way as they are from a wealthy family." The third daughter-inw said with a smile.


    "Are you that daft or what? Can''t you see that they are doing this on purpose? Should I wait till when it''s one of your son''s weddings and create a simr situation?." Bai Fen asked angrily.


    "Are you trying to embarrass yourself and your daughter by creating a scene? Don''t you know that we are the center of attention today?." Bai Fen''s husband asked with a slight frown.


    Bai Fen couldn''t go on because truly, thru would be the center of attention since they were the bride''s family. But still, she couldn''t forgive what FangSu and Fu Meixu did.


    When it was time for Bai Jun and Yang Peng to make a toast, they first went to the Bai family''s table to make a toast.


    "Yang Peng, take care of my daughter." Bai Fen said as she raised another toast to them. Yang Peng on the other hand faked a smile and drank from his ss without saying anything.


    Bai Jun''s eyes identally met the third daughter-inw''s eyes who was staring at her with a smirk as if to remind her of her words the day she acted rudely to Yang Peng.


    Old Lady Bai also said a few words to them before allowing them to leave. Next, Bai Jun and Yang Peng went to the Yang''s table to offer a toast to them.


    After offering a toast to both families, they could now start offering toasts to the guests. As it was time to go to the table reserved for the Fu families, Bai Jun was reluctant to go, but how was that possible that she wouldn''t go there to give a toast?


    When they got to the Fu family''s table, Bai Jun faked a smile and greeted Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua. Fu Hee didn''t respond to her and left Fu ChuHua to do the talking.


    "What a perfect couple. Bai Jun, you look so good on your day, and I''m sure this is the best day in your life." Fu ChuHua said as she raised a toast to her.


    Bai Jun was already angry, as she thought how on earth could today possibly be the best day in her life? She knew that she would surely get mocked or ignored if she came to give a toast to them.


    FangSu nced at Bai Jun with a brightened-up gaze before shifting it to Yang Peng who seemed only to respect them because of their status, as deep down, he was not interested to meet any guests and offering a toast to them.


    "Mr. Yan, my supposed best friend is as gentle as a dove, but she always seems to follow the crooked path, so as her husband, you must lead her onto the straight path so she won''t get you and your family into trouble...cheers," FangSu said as she clinked sses with them by herself and drank happily.


    Yang Peng nced at Bai Jun with hatred before saying to FangSu, "Thanks for the reminder.." He definitely got FangSu''s point and understood that she was no longer friends with Bai Jun.

 Chapter 392 - FangSu Releases The Video Of Bai Jun...

    <h4>Chapter 392 - FangSu Releases The Video Of Bai Jun...</h4>


    Bai Jun couldn''t mask her anger anymore as it was revealed on her face. She felt like asking people to hold FangSu while she hit her face repeatedly. As anger was evident on Bai Jun''s face, FangSu couldn''t help chuckling softly.


    Before Bai Jun could rebuke FangSu, Fu Meixu who has been watching the fun quietly, picked up her wine ss and said with her gaze on Yang Peng, "Mr. Yang do not worry too much about your wife. She has a thing for married men who are sessful and good-looking. And seeing that you are married to her and you have notable achievements for yourself and added to the fact that you have good looks, you are good to go."


    Bai Fen who had her gaze on her daughter all the time saw that she has been standing at the Fu family''s table and knew they were giving her a hard time. She became worried and started toin about it.


    "Bai Jun deserves it, so let her be." The first daughter-inw said, and Bai Fen rebuked her immediately.


    "How can you say that? Even if Jun deserves it, at least not on this day! How dare they embarrass my daughter on her wedding day?!" Bai Fen asked angrily.


    "Then your daughter should have thought things through before deciding to disrupt the Bai family''s peace." The third daughter-inw said with a scoff.


    Bai Fen couldn''t argue with her and looked over at the Fu family''s table in worry. Since she wasn''t allowed to go over there, she could at least watch to keep an eye on them.


    Bai Jun has never been more embarrassed today than now. FangSu and Fu Meixu were definitely here to embarrass her, and she couldn''t continue taking it, not that she cared about what Yang Peng thought of her, but that he may treat her worse than before.


    Which man would like to hear about his wife''s ugly past that she doesn''t seem to want to let go of? No man will tolerate that.


    At least, Bai Jun was after protecting her image than on what opinion Yang Peng would have. Also, she was scared that the other guests next to them, would hear such embarrassing words.


    Bai Jun who has already reached the maximum of her contentment was ready to confront the Fu daughters. She has just opened her lips to speak when Fu Hee who hasn''t spoken since she arrived, cut her off.


    "Bai Jun, you and your husband shouldn''t waste any more time on our table, I''m sure other guests are waiting to receive a toast from you."


    Yang Peng smiled and raised a ss to her before walking away without caring if his new bride was following or not.


    Fu Hee didn''t scold FangSu and Fu Meixu for embarrassing Bai Jun, as she felt that she deserved it after what she and her mother put her and FangSu through.


    After Bai Jun and Yang Peng left the Fu family''s table, Yang Peng stopped to say to her in a low tone, "Now I know why you hate me, it turns out that you like married men. I never knew you were this shameless. I can''t continue to do this with you, greet the remaining guests alone."


    After getting insulted, Bai Jun could only grit her teeth and watch yang Peng walk away. "You bastard! Do you think I care about you!." She cursed in a low tone.


    In other to keep up with the appearances, Bai Jun faked a smile and went on to greet the guests alone. When she was asked about her groom, she lied.


    "His head aches, so he has gone to rest. He has been tired from nning the wedding while I only had to rx and be taken care of."


    "It looks like the groom is so smart and doesn''t want to walk with a bitch like Bai Jun," FangSu said with a smirk.


    "Mind yournguage." Fu Hee said to her with a frown. They were in public and if anyone heard those uncaught words from her, they would think the children of the Fu family were not properly trained.


    "Bai Jun got what she deserved, I don''t pity her at all, and she is not acting remorseful so, why would we care about her?." Fu Meixu said with her gaze on Bai Jun.


    "I have a wedding gift for her," FangSu said with a smirk as she took out her phone from her bag and went straight to find the video of her pping Bai Jun and sent it out to their social circle.


    "What are you trying to do?." Fu Hee asked with a frown.


    "It doesn''t matter what she is trying to do, as long as it doesn''t shame our family." Fu ChuHua said with a smile as she picked up her wine ss.


    Fu Meixu who was sitting beside FangSu saw her sharing the video to their friends and a smirk formed on her lips as she thought about how lively the party was going to be soon.


    As FangSu sent out the video, the friends from their social circle, immediately got the notification on their phones and clicked on the video to watch it. And once they saw the content of the video, they eximed in shock and started talking about it.


    The reason they opened the video in the first ce, it''s because FangSu was the one that sent it to them with an interesting caption. And because they were curious about its content, they clicked on it to watch it.


    "Oh my! what am I seeing?!" Ahm said after letting out a gasp of shock with a hand over her mouth.


    "This is the evidence of how your birthday party was ruined." One of thedies said and let out a low chuckle. Ah Lam rolled her eyes and said, "Don''t even remind me of how they ruined my day, and they haven''t even apologized about it."


    Each time Ah Lam remembered how FangSu and Bai Jun ruined her birthday party, she would be angry.


    "But why is FangSu sending us the video?.." One of them asked with a frown.

 Chapter 393 - Someone Like That

    <h4>Chapter 393 - Someone Like That</h4>


    MingXia smiled and said, "It''s been boring around here, so she wants us to have some fun."


    Just then, Bai Jun finished greeting the guests next to their table and walked over to them. The ones that saw her on time, quickly put their phones away.


    Ah Lam saw her but she refused to put her phone away, as she was still angry about what happened at her birthday party.


    Bai Jun smiled brightly and greeted her friends but their gazes and responses seemed fake, so she slowly retracted her smile and asked, "What is the matter?"


    "Oh my! This is a very interesting video." Ah Lam said as she increased the volume of her phone while staring happily at her phone.


    Bai Jun who was confused nced at her friends who looked away from her. While wondering what this video was all about, she suddenly heard FangSu''s voice scolding someone. Those words sounded familiar that she was forced to remember how she was embarrassed at the birthday party.


    Thinking that Ah Lam must be watching that video, she looked shocked as she quickly made her way over to her and snatched her phone from her to have a good look at the video she was watching.


    "Make sure you don''t destroy my phone like the way you ruined my party." Ah Lam warned in a tight tone after her phone was snatched.


    When Bai Jun saw the content of the video, she was so angry that she asked Ah Lam, "How did you get this video?"


    Al Lam snatched her phone from her and chose not to answer her.


    ncing at her friends from the same social circle, Bai Jun saw Mingxia smiling at her and her frown intensified.


    "You were the one that shared this video right?" Bai Jun asked without bothering to mask her voice.


    Mingxia smiled meaningfully and said to her, "Why? You want to p me again and destroy my phone like you didst time?"


    The others looked shocked when they heard that something like that happened. Bai Jun dared to hit one of them and destroy her phone because of the video?


    One of them got angry at this discovery and said with a deep frown, " Bai Jun, your shamelessness knows no bound. You really think you are a princess that can hit anyone. Did we ask you to love who you shouldn''t love?"


    "Do you want to ruin your wedding as well?'' Another asked unhappily.


    "We all know that you were forced to marry because of your crazy intentions towards a married man but we came out here to support you and not to be treated like we are nothing." Another said angrily.


    Bai Jun was already annoyed because of the video and now seeing her friends ming her and talking to her in that manner, she could no longer keep her feelings in check.


    "Are you sure you are my friends because you all are very rude right now? Since you all hate me, what''s the point of pretending, did I tell you that I''mcking friends?"


    Thedies were surprised at her outburst so they exchanged nces. Bai Jun''s voice wasn''t loud plus the music that was ying in the hall at highest volume, it would be the people at the neighboring table that would hear her.


    Ah Lam chuckled angrily and said to her, "You have opened our eyes today. You need to ask your best friend about the video, don''te here and treat us like we are homeless. You don''t care that your words have offended us? And you still haven''t apologized to me about my birthday."


    Bai Jun scoffed and said to her, "Do you think I care about offending you and all of them at this point? And about your birthday, deal with it because I will never apologize to you! I told you a secret and you couldn''t keep your mouth shut, you got what you deserved!"


    After saying those words angrily, Bai Jun marched away. The girls scoffed and scolded her angrily.


    "She really thinks she is something."


    "She doesn''t care about offending us?"


    "I know that she was scolded after going over to the Fu family''s table."


    "And her husband abandoned her. I really hate her guts."


    "She is so shameless about the fact that she loves a married one and that is the reason she worked so hard to get into FJ."


    "I hope her colleagues know the kind of person they have in their crew?"


    "I hope they discover it soon. I can''t sit here anymore, I''m leaving."


    "I''m leaving since she doesn''t care about offending us."


    "What a shameless bitch!"


    "I''m leaving as well."


    As the girls conversed angrily while getting to their feet, they couldn''t keep their voices down, so everyone sitting at the table next to them heard their voices clearly.


    While the girls all stood up to leave at the same time, it attracted the attention of everyone. Seeing how they were leaving with ugly expressions on their faces, the other guests wondered if they fought with the bride just after she went over there to toast them.


    Bai Jun and the girls had no idea, or actually, they didn''t look properly, so they were unaware that the newbies of FJ, were sitting at the table next to them, and some of them heard their conversation.


    "I can''t believe Bai Jun is someone like that." One of them said with a disgusted look.


    "What did they talk about now? I only heard something about a video, FJ and Bai Jun loving a married man." Mari¨¦ asked.


    "It''s good I could hear them but I am so pissed off right now. I really want to get my hands on the video." One of them said.


    "I will go and get it and find out what they talked about." Mari¨¦ said as she got up and left her seat.


    When Bai Jun left her friends, she immediately went to find FangSu since she was the one that sent out the video.. On getting close to the Fu family''s table, Bai Jun saw that FangSu''s seat was vacant and she gritted her teeth angrily.

 Chapter 394 - A Proper Way To Convey Her Message

    <h4>Chapter 394 - A Proper Way To Convey Her Message</h4>


    "Looking for someone?" FangSu asked from behind her with a smile. Bai Jun turned immediately to nce at her.


    "Come with me!" Bai Jun said as she pulled her to walk away.


    "Where is that Jun girl taking FangSu to?" Fu ChunHua asked with a frown when she saw Bai Jun pulling the smiling FangSu to leave the hall.


    "They are probably going to talk things out. Let them be, after all, what can go wrong? Unless the Bai family wants to go bankrupt tomorrow, nothing will happen to FangSu." Fu Meixu said without a care.


    Fu Hee was a little worried but she thought the same as Meixu, so she didn''t get up to go look for her daughter.


    "Once FangSues back, we are leaving." Fu Hee said to them.


    "I''m starting to be bored already." Fu ChunHua said as she nced over to where the Bai family were sitting and saw them converse with a serious facial expression.


    "What is wrong with your daughter? Is she trying to tell everyone she is unhappy with her friends?" The first daughter-inw asked with a frown.


    "I saw her friends leaving and now, she is pulling FangSu to outside with that cold attitude. It''s truly a blessing that we have married her off." The third daughter-inw said with her gaze on Bai Jun.


    "Why are you ming my daughter for everything. What if her friends infuriated her?" Ban Fen asked angrily. She hated how everyone was ming her daughter for everything.


    "Even if she was infuriated, is that enough reason to chase her guests away? Look at how she has be the center of attention and this is so embarrassing to our family." The first son of the Bai family said in anger.


    "Look how you brought up our daughter. If I knew youcked home training, I wouldn''t have let you raise Jun." Bai Jun''s father said to her mother.


    "Enough! We are not about to create a scene for people to watch. Find the MC and end this party soon. I''m going over to greet the Fu family members before they leave." Olddy Bai said as she got up from her seat.


    Bai Fen couldn''t say a word as all the me has turned to her. The more she and her daughter were embarrassed, the more she hated the Bai and the Fu families.


    At the restroom, FangSu hit Bai Jun''s arm away when they got there.


    "Why did you bring me out here?" FangSu asked.


    Bai Jun was angry with FangSu''s nonchnt attitude. She pointed angrily at her and asked, "How dare you try to embarrass me today? Why did you send that video out?!"


    "Shouldn''t you be grateful that I didn''t put it on the big screen so everyone would see it?" FangSu asked.


    "What! Are you mad?!" Bai Jun asked angrily. She couldn''t believe her ears. FangSu wanted her to be grateful that she didn''t put that embarrassing video of her on a screen for her guests to watch?


    "Maybe I have really gone crazy. I never knew you had such a strong attitude before but now I know you''ve been deceiving me since the talk about my brother. You always acted like a green-tea bitch who was so harmless and couldn''t hurt a fly but look what kind of attitude you have now, you are showing us your true colors now!" FangSu said as she looked her up and down.


    Bai Jun gritted her teeth and raise her hand to hit her but FangSu caught it on time. "Tsk...tsk... don''t you dare, if you don''t want me to ruin your face and your dress."


    Bai Jun pulled her hand out from FangSu''s grip and red at her. "Do you think I will let you be after all you have done to me?"


    FangSu rolled her eyes as she said, "Shouldn''t I be the one saying that to you?"


    "You have done enough, so just wait for my turn. I will teach you a big lesson for crossing the line." Bai Jun said to her in a fierce gaze and she meant every word she said.


    FangSu smiled and leaned in to whisper to her, "I will be waiting."


    Bai Jun had a murderous gaze as she watched FangSu walk away. "FangSu, you have really crossed the line!" She said through gritted teeth.


    When Olddy Bai walked up to Fu Hee and Fu ChunHua, she smiled and exchanged greetings with them.


    "I hope you arefortable, do you need anything?" Olddy Bai said as she nced at them with a smile.


    "We are fine thank you." Fu Hee said in reply.


    "Thank you foring over to join us in this celebration, I''m d you could make it." Olddy Bai said to the two women.


    "Olddy, we are happy to attend this wedding and we hope it will be helpful to keep your granddaughter off married men." Fu ChunHua said without a care. She didn''t mind that she was ruining the mood of the innocent olddy.


    Seeing how the Olddy''s smile faltered Fu Meixu chuckled inwardly and shifted her gaze away. Fu ChunHua looked away unapologetically and let Fu Hee do the talking.


    "Olddy Bai, don''t be annoyed that ChunHua didn''t choose a proper way to convey her message to you. We wish Bai Jun wouldn''t cause trouble anymore."


    Olddy Bai who felt insulted initially smiled and assured Fu Hee that Bai Jun wouldn''t look for trouble anymore.


    "I hope so. As the Mistress of the Fu family, I must take care of the family and oversee that everybody and anything going on in the family, so I won''t hesitate to take matters into my hands if anyone external fly tries toe into my family to cause trouble." Fu ChunHua said to the olddy with an annoyed gaze.


    Olddy Bai frowned as she nced at Fu ChunHua before looking at Fu Hee. Fu Hee didn''t spare the olddy a nce this time around. She felt a prick in her heart after she was reminded of how she lost her position as the Mistress of the Fu family.


    "FangSu is here, we can leave now.." Fu Meixu said after she saw FangSu walking towards them with a smile.

 Chapter 395 - Bai Jun Wants To Stay Back

    <h4>Chapter 395 - Bai Jun Wants To Stay Back</h4>


    Olddy Bai was reminded that Fu Hee lost her position as the Mistress of the Fu family because of her daughter-inw, so she quickly said a few words of apology when she saw Fu Hee standing to her feet and ready to leave.


    "Olddy, I almost lost everything but I managed to be redeemed, my daughter and I. And because I know that you are innocent, I will give you a piece of advice. It will be right to get rid of those that will cost you your peace before it''s toote. Never be afraid to do so." Fu Hee said to the Olddy before walking away.


    The olddy of the Bai family would be lying if she said she didn''t feel insulted and all of these were because of Bai Fen and Bai Jun.


    Mari¨¦ who finally met with Bai Jun''s friends from their circle approached them boldly and introduced herself to them.


    After introducing herself, she went straight to the point to ask about the video and everything they talked about at their table.


    Seeing as she didn''t understand Chinese and that she was also one of Bai Jun''s colleagues at work, Ah Lam offered to ruin Bai Jun''s image more by telling her the truth about Bai Jun''s true character.


    "... I would have sent the video to you but I can''t because of another reason but I will let you watch it and trante the conversation." Ah Lam said to her.


    Mari¨¦ was totally fine with it and asked her to go on and y the video. Mari¨¦ had her reason for being curious about Bai Jun''s matter because she didn''t want to work with someone who was two-faced. Although she didn''t have a not-so likable personality, at least she was true to her expressions, unlike someone.


    After watching the video, Mari¨¦ thanked them and walked away.


    "Why did you refuse to share the video with her?" Mingxia asked with a frown. The others who were curious about the same question, fixed their gazes on Ah Lam while waiting for her reply.


    Ah Lam sighed and decided to answer to their curiosity.


    "I have two major reasons. One, Bai Jun didn''t share this video with us to circte it, as she may have other ns. Well, we have to hear from her first. Secondly, I don''t know who she is apart from the fact that she is Bai Jun''s colleague."


    What Ah Lam said made sense to them, so they stopped asking questions and left the hotel.


    When Mari¨¦ went back to her seat, she immediately spilled everything she news told. The rest looked shocked as they listened.


    "I can''t believe that Jun is that kind of person." Linda said in shock.


    "She is in love with the Big Boss? Is she crazy?" Another one asked.


    "Who wouldn''t love someone like our Boss." One of the male newbies asked.


    "At least not a married man." Linda said with a frown.


    "Although I was once someone''s mistress before I decided to be useful to myself but I wasn''t as shameless as to go for a married man." Mari¨¦ said as she picked up a ss of wine from the table to drink from it


    "Now we know the kind of person we have been working with." One of them said with a scorned look.


    "Guys, have you noticed that JL and Jun have never had a conversation since we all got into FJ?" One of them asked with a curious gaze.


    "I noticed that but I didn''t think much about it. What do you think the reason is?" One of the guys asked.


    "I don''t think JL should be the problem, since she is normally quiet but would always return a smile and respond to our greetings." One of them said.


    "JL is a sweet girl, she is definitely not a problem." Linda said


    "I don''t care who is at fault, I don''t like any of them. One looks so quiet that she can be an easy target for bullying, while the other one has a haughty personality." Mari¨¦ said in an annoyed tone.


    "Don''t tell me that you expect everyone to be wild like you. Mari¨¦ you need a break." Linda said as she touched her shoulder.


    After the wedding reception which didn''tst long because of Old Lady Bai''s order, the Bai and the Yang family started to greet their guests and send them off.


    Bai Fen sneaked away and pulled Bai Jun to one corner to question her. Seeing her mother, Bai Jun cried while pouring out her grievances.


    "Fu Hee didn''t raise a good daughter. How dare she try to ruin your image again? Bai Jun don''t worry, justy low for a while. I promise to help you get revenge at the right time." Bai Fen said while consoling her.


    "Mum, I must make FangSu pay for all the embarrassment she gave to me!" Bai Jun swore with tears.


    "Of course we won''t let her get away with this but don''t do anything now since your grandmother and father have their attention on you, also, the Fu family. You must lie low first." Bay Fen advised.


    Both of them have just gotten away from trouble narrowly but it still came with a heavy price. Bai Fen had a feeling that they wouldn''t escape unscathed next time if they were not careful, so she advised Bai Jun to stay low first.


    "Mum, I don''t want to go to the Yang family, I want to stay back." Bai Jun cried out another part of her worries.


    "And why wouldn''t you go back to your new family?" The first daughter-inw asked as she walked over. She had juste over when she heard Bai Jun crying and saying that she wanted to stay back.


    Bai Fen sighed in relief as her co-wife didn''t hear their initial conversation.


    "You don''t have a daughter so you will never understand my daughter''s feelings." Bai Fen said in a heavy tone while still holding onto Bai Jun who immediately stopped crying.


    The first daughter-inw sneered and said to them, "I bet if it was the person she so desired that she got married to, she wouldn''t cry and want to stay back in the family."

 Chapter 396 - A Stroll In The Park

    <h4>Chapter 396 - A Stroll In The Park</h4>


    There was no way Bai Jun would have stayed back with her family for a few days, it was not possible. I mean, what would she be doing there when she is now married?


    So, Bai Jun went followed her new husband and his family back to their new home. It turned out that Yang Peng was still living with his family, and he didn''t have any ns of moving out soon.


    Bai Jun was annoyed, because living with him was a problem, and now that his parents were staying with them, it was a big deal for her.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua didn''t stay at home throughout today. In the evening, they packed a few necessities they would be needing outside and left in two cars.


    When they arrived at the children''s park, Jia Li carried the little bun out from her car seat, while Fu Hua went to the booth to bring out the little bun''s stroller and set it up.


    As the weather was cold, the family of three was not all covered up. The little bun looked so cute while being dressed like an apple. Her external outfit was made to look like an apple. Since it was thick enough to shield her from the cold, Fu Hua didn''t mind his little princess looking like an apple from behind.


    The little bun looked so cute in her outfit as she looked around the vicinity.


    In the second car, Ocean and her pups were let out of the car, and they immediately jumped out and ran towards them.


    Having gotten into the main park, everyone went straight to have a cup of hot tea and coffee. As it would be Valentine''s Day in a few days, the park was already preparing for it which can be seen in their decors.


    After drinking their tea, Fu Hua put the little bun in her stroller and left to walk around the park with Jia Li walking beside him.


    There were only a few people in the park who happens to be the workers. Fu Hua being a wealthy man, had all the money and all the connections to rent the public park for his use.


    The little bun sat in her stroller and let her father push her, while she looked around curiously. Ocean her pups apanied the family of three I''m their stroll, and this image was perfect for everyone that saw it.


    "Why didn''t you tell me that Bai Jun was working in FJ?." Fu Hua asked with his gaze on his little woman that was initially smiling from ear to ear.


    Jia Li nced at him and replied, "When I first saw her, I was surprised, and then I thought you knew about it, so I didn''t mention it to you. When I found out that you had no clue, I thought it wasn''t important if she was working in FJ or not, so I didn''t mention it to you."


    "Tell me everything, it is necessary and important. I don''t want any wild chicken roaming around mypany or my family." Fu Hua said to her.


    "Okay, I will tell you everything from now on." Jia Li promised.


    "That''s more like it." Fu Hua said and sighed. "I investigated her to know how she got into FJ, but I was surprised that she was so smart to get into FJ without any kind of fraud. I can sack her with any little reason, but I don''t want to do that."


    When Fu Hua said up to this point, Jia Li thought that he didn''t want to be petty and sack Bai Jun just because he didn''t like her, as that would be against his work ethic. As he said that everyone working in FJ should be able to separate their personal life from their professional life, so he has to lead by example.


    Because Jia Li has not been disturbed by Bai Jun as thetter has never spoken to her or yed any tricks, Jia Li thought she was harmless, so she didn''t think too much about the situation.


    "So, you are going to let her continue to work in FJ?." Jia Li asked curiously as she wanted to know what his reply would be.


    "I won''t let her continue to work in mypany for long. I thought she was just a bystander, so I didn''t put any eye on her, so it is my mistake that she got into FJ, I would have stopped her from the very beginning just like I did with FangSu. Now, I''m going to make sure that she bes so frustrated with work that she would have no choice but to leave." Fu Hua replied.


    "How are you going to do that?." Jia Li asked.


    Fu Hua smiled and pinched her cheek. "One instruction from me, it''s enough. Now that''s enough with the wild chicken, let''s talk about something else. Where do you want us to go for Valentine!."


    "Do we have time for that? Valentine is on Thursday." Jia Li said with creased brows.


    "We will when I tell everyone to leave work early because I want to spend time with my wife." Fu Hua announced.


    "You sure know how to serve dog food." Jia Li said with a lowugh. Fu Hua smiled and hugged her with one arm while pushing Jasmine''s stroller with his other hand.


    The little bun was so happy with being outside. She kept babbling and pping her hands. And when she saw something she was curious about, she would fix her gaze on it and watch it quietly and with all interest.


    There was nothing to be bored about while taking a look at the park, and also, Ocean and the pups made the day.


    When the weather got colder, the family of three had to leave for their home. When they got home, they were surprised to see that Fu Hee had returned.


    "Mum, howe you came back today?." Jia Li asked as Fu Hee took the sleeping little bun from her arms happily.


    "Tomorrow is Sunday, you two should rx and prepare for the new week.." Fu Hee replied.

 Chapter 397 - Confrontation

    <h4>Chapter 397 - Confrontation</h4>


    At night at the Bai family house, Bai Fen was restless about her daughter. She had in mind of calling to check up on her, but whereby she was being monitored in the house, was what made her restless. The worst was that she couldn''t even slip away from anyone''s sight to make the call.


    The person Bai Fen was worrying about, was currently being given rules to obey.


    "We can never sleep on the same bed, so you take the couch, that''s your bed from now on." Yang Peng said to Bai Jun while pointing at the couch.


    "What do you mean? Why do I have to be the one to sleep on the couch while you sleep on the bed?." Bai Jun asked with an unbelievable facial expression.


    "Do you need to ask this question? This is my house, and as the visitor, I don''t want you to sleep on the bed with me. I chose between the floor and the couch for you and decided that I should be more human. If you don''t like the arrangements, you can go back to your Bai family to continue being the spoilt princess that you were, but that is if you will be epted back into the house." Yang Peng said to her and walked away to change his clothes in the bathroom.


    Bai Jun couldn''t believe what was happening. Since she was born, when did she have to sleep on the couch at night? There was not even one time that it happened.


    Of course, Bai Jun wouldn''t like to stay on the same bed as him, but she was not expecting him to ask her to go sleep on the couch as she was thinking that he would still be annoyed with her and take one pillow and a nket to go sleep somewhere else.


    Now, it looks like she will be the one to suffer till the day they reconcile which was never going to happen or all through the time they stay married.


    Bai Jun who has been mistreated for thest two weeks had no choice but to take a nket to cover herself whileying on the couch to sleep.


    On Monday when everyone returned to the office, Bai Jun noticed that she was receiving weird nces from her colleagues, and when she greeted any of them, they wouldn''t reply to her, it was only a few that replied to her nonchntly.


    Bai Jun who didn''t know the reason she was getting weird gazes, thought it was because she didn''t go to her colleagues'' to toast to them at her wedding. While thinking it was because of that, Bai Jun waited patiently till it was time for a lunch break to apologize to them and to exin things to them.


    Going to thepany''s cafeteria for staff, Bai Jun saw her colleagues sitting there and talking. They were already eating, so she quickly went to pay for her meal and go to the table to join them.


    Mari¨¦ was not weing when Bai Jun came to join them. "What are you doing here?." She asked with a frown while the others looked on.


    Bai Jun knew that all of them were angry with her, and had to exin things to them.


    "Guys I''m sorry that I never came to greet any of you at my wedding. I was so busy and didn''t have the time to finish greeting other guests as well. I''m really sorry." Bai Jun said in a pitiful tone.


    "Zip it!" Mari¨¦ said while rolling her eyes.


    "Jun, do you take us all as fools or what?." Linda asked.


    Now, Bai Jun began to wonder if she did any other thing apart from ignoring them at her wedding, because the negative energy she was getting from them, was high.


    Before apologizing, she thought they would all understand how busy and tired she was, but it looks like reverse was the case.


    "I said I''m really sorry. My mind was going through a lot of things that day. I''m sorry it will never happen again." Bai Jun said with creased brows as she tried to win back their favor.


    "Why would it happen again, unless you n to have another wedding." One of them said while rolling her eyes.


    "No, that''s not what I meant. I mean if I invite you for another function, I won''t act like before, I will definitely treat you all well." Bai Jun said as she managed a smile.


    "And you think if you send us an invite we will attend? No thank you, but we don''t want to be associated with someone like you." Another said with a disgusted look on his face.


    Now, Bai Jun was sure that something else happened that caused them to show her this side.


    "Did I do something wrong again?." She asked in a slightly nervous tone.


    Mari¨¦ couldn''t tolerate them wasting their time on Bai Jun, so she said after a scoff, "It is so surprising to find out that you are in love with our Big Boss. You are really uncultured."


    You know what it feels like for your heartbeats to escte, that was exactly what was going on with Bai Jun. Her heart was beating 5 times faster than normal, and she couldn''t control it.


    ''How did they find out about this?''


    ''Did FangSu tell them about it? But FangSu doesn''t know them.''


    ''How on earth did they find out about this?!''


    Bai Jun''s thoughts were in disarray as she thought hard about her how colleagues came to know of this secret. Everything changed after her wedding, so what happened when she wasn''t watching?


    "Seeing how you are shocked, this news must be true," Linda said and looked away.


    Now, Bai Jun saw that she couldn''t deny the truth, and it was not going to help even if she did. She couldn''t deny it, because she didn''t know he they found out about it, and seeing how sure they were, denying it would be a foolish act, so she optioned to admit to it.


    After releasing a deep breath, Bai Jun nced at them and said, "It''s true!"

 Chapter 398 - Thursday

    <h4>Chapter 398 - Thursday</h4>


    Before anyone could say a word to admonish her after giving her that disgusting gazes, Bai Jun added, "But that was in the past, not anymore. My family and his family were very close, so I know him on a personal level."


    "You don''t expect us to believe that do you?." Mari¨¦ asked while rolling her eyes.


    "I don''t care if you know the Big Boss outside of work, but you should mind your actions. He is married, and I''m sure everyone heard clearly when he said no one shouldn''t have ideas about him or the consequences will be dire when caught." Linda said with a frown.


    "I''m serious, I don''t have any ideas about him." Bai Jun said with creased brows. Deep down, she was annoyed that she wasn''t able to deceive them.


    "Stop trying to fool us. We watched the video of you getting hit because of your crazy ideas." One of them said while rolling her eyes.


    "We are aware of the reason you got married, it''s because of this. I don''t want to waste my time with you, so please leave, or I will leave the table." Mari¨¦ said with a disgusted facial expression.


    "Jun, you are such a good liar. We heard you and your friends confronting each other, and I bet you didn''t know we were sitting next to their table." One of the male newbies said.


    The others started toin and talked in a hushed tone. Bai Jun was embarrassed that she was asked to leave. Hearing them mention that video, and the fact that they were sitting next to her friends when she exchanged words with them, made her know that there was no low she could tell that would make them forget everything they heard and saw.


    With anger boiling in her heart, she stood up with her tray of food and said to them, "It''s fine if you don''t believe me, this is not the first time I will suffer from people misunderstanding me."


    After saying that, Bai Jun walked over to another table to sit and eat her food.


    "Is she trying to me us?." One of them asked in disbelief.


    "She has just shown you how shameless she can be." Another said.


    "Why is JL not here?." One of them asked as she looked around.


    "She is probably eating somewhere else since she normallyes with home-cooked food, or maybe she is still working," Linda said.


    "She is really passionate about this stuff."


    "All of us are passionate about it as well," Mari¨¦ said and picked up her spoon and began to eat.


    Jia Li who they were talking about, was eating somewhere else. There are two ces to stay and have lunch in FJ, so Sunny asked JL to join her for lunch in the ce reserved for the directors. And as they ate, they conversed about matters rted to work.


    "You can now go to the Boss''s office on my behalf when I can''t make it, his assistant approved ording to the Boss''s instruction." Sunny revealed.


    Jia Li nodded in understanding. She knew this was Fu Hua''s doing, as this would be a big opportunity for them to see each other during work hours. Jia Li smiled inwardly and continued to eat her food.


    Soon, Thursday arrived, which was Valentine''s Day. Mostdies wore a red outfit to work today, to celebrate the day of Love.


    All the staff in FJ heard that their Boss allowed them to get off work by 3 PM, so they were very excited. Those that had dates to go to, we''re more than excited, because they now had time to rest a bit after work before going on a date.


    Rumors had it that the Boss of FJ wanted to get off work on time to celebrate Valentine''s Day with his wife, so he allowed the staff to leave work on time as well.


    When Bai Jun heard the rumor, she gritted her teeth as she gazed at Jia Li in jealousy. She hated how Fu Hua unted his love for her.


    As everyone was in a joyous mood, Jia Li had the same feeling as well, but she put in a lot of effort with today''s task so she could leave work much earlier.


    Before leaving for work, Jia Li went to take permission from Sunny to get off work on time for the upper week.


    "Why do you want to leave work early next week Thursday?" Sunny asked curiously.


    "I have something to organize in my family, so I needed to get off work on time." Jia Li said in a nervous tone.


    Sunny gazed at Jia Li for a while before saying, "You know that work shoulde first, and that''s a priority in FJ, your personal affairs can''t affect your work here."


    Jia Li thought that she didn''t ask her question well, so sue rephrased it, "I am aware of that. So I want to ask if I can leave work before time if I finish my tasks?."


    "If you finish your tasks before time, then you are free to leave. But mind you, Thursday may be a busy day." Sunny reminded her.


    "Thank you!." Jia Li said with a smile before leaving her office.


    Working back to her desk, Jia Li sat down ???? and sighed. Exactly a week from today which is next week Thursday is Fu Hua''s birthday, so Jia Li wanted to get off work on time to organize a lot something for him. But after speaking to Sunny, she knew she had to start making preparations on time and not bank on the D-Day.


    While getting her things ready to leave for work, Jis Li got a text from Fu Hua asking her to go wait in his car in the underground park as he wanted them to leave together.


    Jia Li was surprised by his request and immediately phoned him while waiting for the elevator.


    "What if someone sees me?." Jia Li asked in a nervous tone.


    "Nobody will, Zimo will make sure of that. He will call you now and help you get to my car without anyone seeing you.." Fu Hua said from the other end of the phone.

 Chapter 399 - Spending The Night Out

    <h4>Chapter 399 - Spending The Night Out</h4>


    After speaking with Fu Hua, Zimo contacted Jia Li and asked for her location, beforeing to get her.


    Zimo took her to take Fu Hua''s private elevator, and because Zimo has been in FJ for a long time, he knew the corridors and hallways to follow in other not to be seen.


    Jia Li who was nervous, finally sighed in relief after she got into the front passenger seat of Fu Hua''s car without being seen by anyone.


    "Ma''am, Boss will be out in a few minutes. Please give your car key to me, I will send your car home." Zimo said with a smile.


    "Do you know where he is taking me?." Jia Li asked curiously. She had no idea of what Fu Hua nned out, and he didn''t give a hint when they woke up in the morning, so she was curious.


    "I''m sorry Ma''am, but I have been instructed not to say anything," Zimo said with a big smile as he bowed slightly.


    The reason he was smiling, was because of the arrangement his Boss made. It was very simple but romantic, so he couldn''t help but blush when he thought about it.


    Now, Jia Li was very curious. Seeing how Zimo refused to say anything, she wondered how crazy Fu Hua''s ns were as she handed her car keys to him.


    Soon, Fu Hua was seen walking towards them in long strides, and there was a little smile that yed on his lips.


    Zimo immediately walked towards him to take his work bag from him.


    "Take it to the house." Fu Hua said as he walked straight to open his car door and get into it. Zimo bowed with a smile before walking towards Jia Li''s car.


    "Hello, beautiful!." Fu Hua greeted with a smile as he leaned in to kiss Jia Li''s cheek.


    "Hello, handsome." Jia Li greeted back as she blushed.


    Fu Hua smiled as he fixed his seatbelt and ignited his car before driving away.


    "Where are you taking me to?." Jia Li asked with a curious gaze. Fu Hua smiled and said to her, "You will see when we get there."


    Now, all the curious Jia Li had to do was to be patient.


    On their way to their destined location, Fu Hua turned on the radio so they could listen to a piece of love music while making conversations about work and every other thing.


    Fu Hua drove into the premises of a 5-star hotel to Jia Li''s amazement. Jia Li wanted to ask if they had a date there, but Fu Hua shushed her in time.


    "Don''t ask any questions and just follow my lead." Fu Hua said with a smile as he helped her out of the car.


    Fu Hua went straight to open the car''s booth and took out one travel bag before closing it. With the luggage ???? on one hand, he took Jia Li''s hand with the other and said to her while leading the way, "let''s go."


    Since he has already told her not to ask any questions and just follow his lead, Jia Li had no choice but to remain calm no matter how the curiosity to know about his ns was killing her.


    Walking into the hotel, Fu Hua got their room card as one of the hotel''s staff took the luggage from him and lead them to the elevator and straight to their suite.


    "You can leave." Fu Hua said to the hotel staff as he took the luggage from him.? The staff bowed and left Jia Li and Fu Hua in the room.


    Jia Li walked past the living room and went straight to the bedroom, where she saw rose petals neatly arranged in a big heart shape on the white sheets.


    "This is beautiful, I''m so going toy on this bed." Jia Li said in an excited tone as she immediately rushed over to pounce on the bed, but Fu Hua was quick to stop her by hugging her from behind.


    "Why are you in a hurry?." Fu Hua asked as he chuckled close to her ear.


    "Didn''t you prepare it for us?." Jia Li asked with a confused gaze.


    Fu Hua smiled as he turned her around. "I did prepare it for us, but it''s not time toy on the bed, there are other things to do first. You know, you really acted like Jasmine some seconds ago."


    Jasmine would always get excited when she saw things that pleases her sight, and she would also make an effort to get, so that''s the reason Fu Hua said Jia Li acted like Jasmine earlier because she was going to pounce on the bed of roses.


    "Jasmine? That''s right. Darling, where is my baby we are going to leave her alone for the night?." Jia Li asked as she became worried.


    "Rx, mum will take care of her. We will return home early in the morning, so we will get to see her and spend about 2 hours with her before leaving for work.


    "So this means that we are spending the night here?." Jia Li asked with a smile.


    It was just now that Fu Hua understood that Jia Li yed smart with him. She wanted to get some information out from him, so she used her worries to make it happen.


    Fu Hua pinched her cheeks as he said, "You are bing naughty. Go and take your shower, I will get your dress ready."


    "Are we going somewhere again?." Jia asked with a curious nce.


    "Sweetheart, go and take a shower first." Fu Hua said as he gently pushed her into the washroom before shutting the door.


    While Jia Li was having a shower, Fu Hua was unpacking their things from the luggage and arranging them in the closet.


    Some minutester, Fu Hua got a call from the front desk, telling him the arrangement he ordered for, was ready.


    Without wasting time, he brought out the outfit for their evening date andid them out.. When Jia Li came out from the shower with a towel wrapped around her body, Fu Hua kissed her lips and asked her to dress up while he went to have a shower.

 Chapter 400 - Valentine Date

    <h4>Chapter 400 - Valentine Date</h4>


    When Fu Hua was fully dressed, he walked into the room and saw Jia Li in the red hot dress he got for her.


    "You look, gorgeous sweetheart." Fu Hua said with a smile as he approached her and wrapped his hands around her waist.


    "Don''t you think the dress is too short, and my boobs are popping out a lot? Don''t you mind other people staring at me?" Jia Liined. She was surprised at the kind of outfit he got for her.


    It was a red short dress that showed off herps and her cleavage. Since she was busty, her boobs were popping out, but she was concerned, although it wasn''t a lot.


    "I got you this dress because I wanted you to look hot for me, and not for any other person. Don''t worry, I promise that no one else will see you." Fu Hua assured her in a low husky voice, after which he leaned in to capture her lips in a hot kiss.


    Seeing how sexy his wife looked, Fu Hua''s throat tightened, and he couldn''t wait to make love to her.


    Jia Li willingly let him kiss her till they were both out of breath.


    Fu Hua put his forehead on hers and took a deep breath. "If we didn''t need to have dinner, I wouldn''t be this patient in devouring you."


    Jia Li was rxed as she let him hold her for a while. They haven''t had s*x in over a week and seeing her dressed in such a provocative way, was more than enough to tempt him, and this was what he wanted.


    Without wasting much time, Fu Hua took Jia Li''s hand and led her out of their suite, and went straight to take the elevator up to the rooftop which seemed to have its ss.


    The rooftop was covered with transparent ss and was decorated with many lights and decors to mark Valentine''s Day.


    The weather would have been chilly if there was no covering over the rooftop, and heater in the room, so Jia Li did not put on a coat to feel warm.


    Seeing how beautiful the room was decorated, with a round table and two dining chairs in the middle of the room, Jia Li felt the atmosphere of love.


    Fu Hua picked up a bouquet of red roses ???? by the door, and handed it to Jia Li.


    "Thank you!." Jia Li said with a beautiful smile as she took the roses from him and sniffed them. The roses were fresh, and so was their fragrance.


    "Do you like it?." Fu Hua asked with a smile as he watched her inhale the fragrance from the roses.


    "I love it, thank you." Jia Li thanked him with a smile. She was happy to receive the fresh beautiful roses from him. All she could say was that he was very romantic and knew how to treat the woman he loved, well.


    "I will show you something even better. Let''s have dinner first." Fu Hua said to her as he took her hand and led her to the table. He pushed out a chair for her, and let her rx on it before going to sit on the other chair.


    "I ordered a lot of food for us, you can eat anything you want, don''t be shy to spend your husband''s money." Fu Hua teased as he picked up the bottle of red wine and popped it.


    "You don''t need to remind me, I will make sure to eat whatever I want." Jia Li said with a smile. How could she not eat when she was hungry? If it was before when she was still getting used to eating out, she would have been picky with the food, but now that her dearest husband has turned her into a pro, she will eat whatever she wanted without holding back.


    As Fu Hua poured wine into their sses, he said to her in a kind reminder, "Don''t overeat, so you won''t be tired out easily."


    He said that because he had another agenda nned out for them.


    After clinking sses and taking sips from them, Jia Li and Fu Hua picked up their cutlery and began to eat while chatting happily, over soft music ying in the background.


    The only thing Jia Li and Fu Hua talked about were things that were fun and made them happy. Whenever any of them remembered something funny, they would talk about it andugh over it.


    After eating, both of them drank and continued chatting till Fu Hua asked Jia Li for a dance.


    "I can''t dance." Jia Li said with a surprised smile while gazing at Fu Hua who stood in front of her with his hand stretched out to her.


    "I know, and that''s why we going to take it slow." Fu Hua said with a smile. Jia Li chucked softly and ced her hand on his, and he helped her up to her feet before pulling her gently to go stand in somewhere in the room, to dance.


    "Rx, trust, and follow my lead. I won''t let you get hurt." Fu Hua whispered to her ear. And as that hot breathnded on Jia Li''s ear, she felt goosebumps on her skin.


    Jia Li was a little stiff at the beginning of their dance, but within a few minutes, she loosened up and followed his lead.


    After the dance, Fu Hua took Jia Li''s hand and led her to watch the beautiful nightlife of the city. Fu Hua hugged Jia Li from behind and rested his jaw on her shoulder as they watched the City together.


    Ten minutester, Fu Hua released her and said to her with a smile, "The time is up."


    "I enjoyed a beautiful evening." Jia Li said with a smile as they walked back to their table. Fu Hua picked up her flower and gave it to her before leading her out of the room. "I enjoyed the evening as well, thanks to the beauty that gave me the honor by choosing to apany me." Fu Hua said.


    Taking the elevator back to their floor, Fu Hua already had a heated gaze on Jia Li who refused to look at him.


    "Why are you looking at me like that?." Jia Li asked as she slowly looked up at him with a shy gaze.. He has been staring at her for a while now as if he couldn''t wait to eat her whole.

    <h4>Chapter 401 - Jia Li''s Valentine Gift To Fu Hua</h4>


    "You''re beautiful." Fu Hua replied as he stretched his hand towards her face, but Jia Li dodged it and said, "We are in the elevator." Fu Hua chuckled and retracted his hand, and only then did Jia Li lose her guard against him.


    Still carrying the bouquet of roses, Jia Li followed Fu Hua into their suite, without knowing that Fu Hua was waiting for the right time to attack.


    Immediately he shut the door, Fu Hua turned and grabbed Jia Li, pulling her close to him, and in the process, the bouquet fell to the floor.


    Jia Li looked like she had a littleint, but Fu Hua said to her with a smiling gaze, "We are not in the elevator." His reply caused Jia Li to chuckle.


    ''Can this man act his age for a minute?''


    "I love you." Fu Hua said while staring right into Jia Li''s eyes. He meant every word he said. Jia Li smiled and confessed to him, "I don''t think I will ever stop loving you even if I want to."


    The only thing Fu Hua picked from her words, was what was going to bother him. "Why would you want to stop loving me." He asked with his gaze on her, waiting for answers.


    "It''s possible to offend each other, and in anger, we may do things we never wish for. Now, I''m telling you that you''ve bought my heart, I can''t stop loving you no matter what you do to me." Jia Li said with a smile.


    Her words were now satisfactory to her. He was d to know that she loved him to that extent. Next, Fu Hua cupped her face and looked her in the eyes to say, "We can always talk things out if there is any problem or misunderstanding. I love you so much, that I can do anything just to keep you by my side."


    Both of them stared into each other''s eyes and saw the love they had for each other. Fu Hua didn''t want to wait anymore, as he brought his lips to meet Jia Li''s. He first started with a slow soft kiss, before kissing her deeper and exploring her mouth with his tongue. But suddenly, Jia Li pushed him away and looked at him with a flushed gaze.


    "I got you a gift, and it has been in my bag for a day now. Now I know the reason I didn''t remember to leave it in the house."


    If Jia Li had remembered that she had the gift in her bag, she would have taken it out and dropped it in the house, and she would have missed the opportunity of giving it to him at the right time since he brought them to stay over at a hotel.


    "You got me a gift?." Fu Hua asked with a smile. He always felt happy whenever he learns that his wife got him something. Even if it was candies, he would appreciate it. But this is the same man that asked her not to gift him, it turned out that he said another thing, and wished for the same thing.


    "Yes I did, and I hope it''s to your taste." Jia Li said as she pulled him into the bedroom. In the room, Jia Li found her handbag and opened it to take out a well-packaged box, before handing it over to him.


    "Here, your gift." She said with a smile. Fu Hua dly took it and started to unwrap it. Jia Li wasn''t sure of what his reaction will be, so she made an excuse to return her bag to the closet, and also take off her stilettoes ????


    Fu Hua only allowed her to leave his sight for a moment, as he went on to unwrap her gift with a smile.


    After taking off her shoes, Jia Li tiptoed back to the bedroom to see Fu Hua trying on the wristwatch. From his side view, she was able to see his smile, so she asked with a smile as well, "Do you like it?"


    Fu Hua turned to nce at her as his smile became broader. "I love it. You must have spent a little fortune to get me this."


    Jia Li became more confident after he admitted that he loved her gift. She walked up to stand in front of him and said, "The price I paid doesn''t matter, what matters is the smile is the smile I''m seeing on your face."


    "Who thought you to say those cheesy words?." Fu Hua asked with a low chuckle. He had no idea that his wife could talk like that. Well, it was rare for his wife to speak like that, and any time she spoke like that, he did cherish it.


    "What do you think, I learned from the best." Jia Li said with a smirk and turned to walk away, but Fu Hua pulled her hand and brought her to his chest.


    With her back against his hard chest, Jia Li enjoyed his warm embrace as a smoke yed on her lips.


    "Where do you think you are going to? You gave me an expensive gift, I have to repay you." Fu Hua said as he nibbled on her earlobes.


    Jia Li felt ticklish and couldn''t help chuckling while trying to pry his hands off from her waist. "You don''t owe me anything, the food and dance paid for it."


    "What? How can youpare a gift worth more than 2 million dors to the money spent to organize this little stuff? You must have burnt a deep hole in your pocket. And when did you prepare this?." Fu Hua asked as he kissed her neck.


    He was excited that his wife loved him so much as to spend this kind of money on a gift for him. He was really moved by her actions.


    "This is a little giftpared to what you''ve been doing for me. Did you see your initials engraved on it?." Jia Li asked.


    "Of course I saw it, FH with the heart symbol. Thank you for this meaningful gift." Fu Hua said to her.. More than the price, he was happier with his initials that were engraved on the wristwatch.

 Chapter 402 - Feelings Of Guilt

    <h4>Chapter 402 - Feelings Of Guilt</h4>


    "Don''t you want to know the reason I engraved your initials on it?." Jia Li asked with a smile while rxing her back on his chest.


    "Isn''t it because you love me so much?." Fu Hua asked with his jaw on her shoulder.


    "No, it''s because I didn''t want you to sell it." Jia Li said with a big smile. Because Fu Hua was behind her, he couldn''t her struggling to hold herughter in.


    Fu Hua was taken aback by her response, "What! who gave you that logic? Do you think I would dare to sell anything you give to me?." Fu Hua asked as he turned her to face him.


    Jia Li chuckled with a hand over her mouth. "I was just pulling your legs. I know you wouldn''t sell it since I''m the only woman dear to your heart."


    "No, not just you, you and our little princess." Fu Hua said as he pinched her cheeks happily.


    "Jasmine is a baby, but I am a woman, so..." Jia Li said while pointing at his chest.


    "Cut it out, I can''t help but want to devour you right away." As Fu Hua said that, he immediately captured her lips and kissed her fiercely, and Jia Li responded by hugging his neck and kissing him back.


    From kissing to taking off their clothes to exploring their bodies and then down to making hot love on the bed of roses.


    After an hour of lovemaking, Jia Li and Fu Hua went into the bathroom to have a bubble bath, over a bottle of champagne and a soft love song ying in the background.


    Jia Li wasying against Fu Hua''s chest with a ss of wine in her hand. Fu Hua on the other hand, had one hand roaming all over her body, while the other hand, held a ss of champagne.


    This was a lovely sight to behold ????


    After the long Bubble bath with a bottle of champagne, Jia Li and Fu Hua got dressed and changed into their nightdress before going to the bed toy in each other''s embrace for the night.


    Early in the morning around 4 AM, Jia Li and Fu Hua showered, got dressed, and left for their home. Jia Li didn''t want to put on the Valentine dress, because her mother-inw was at home. She didn''t want Fu Hee to think she did something with Fu Huast night, but Fu Hua knowing her thoughts, told her there was nothing wrong with it.


    "If you are shy about anyone at home seeing you in this dress, then you shouldn''t be. How did Jasminee into this world, is it not obvious to them? You need to stop thinking about a lot of things."


    What more could Jia Li say, his words were enough to shut her up.


    It wasn''t surprising to see that Jasmine was awake by the time Jia Li and Fu Hua got home. Jia Li pitied her little bun and mother-inw.


    Jia Li felt bad leaving her little daughter to go have fun, while she stayed home with her grandmother and the servants. Seeing Fu Hee holding the little girl in her arms and pacing around the room, Jia Li was touched.


    "You are back?." Fu Hee asked with a smile when she saw Jia Li standing in front of the door in that red hot dress.


    "Yes, mum. Good morning." Jia Li greeted as she approached with a smile.


    Jasmine who was lying on her grandmother''s shoulder heard her mother''s voice and immediately turned to face the direction of the door, and immediately she saw her mother, she started crying while stretching out her arms.


    "My baby." Jia Li said in a teary tone as she walked over to pick Jasmine up, and only then did the little girl stop crying as she rested her head on her shoulder.


    "Heh, Baby, how are you?." Jia Li asked as she twirled gently with the little girl in her arms. Jasmine was quiet as she hugged her mother whom she has missed for a long time.


    "Mum, did she disturb you all through the night?." Jia Li asked with a worried gaze.


    Fu Hee smiled and replied, "She only cried for a little while. It was a relief that she was so sleepy, so I put her to sleep."


    "Mum, thank you! I''m going to take care of her for a few hours before leaving for work."? Jia Li said with a smile.


    "Go ahead, I will sleep for a little while." Fu Hua urged her with a smile.


    Jia Li met Fu Hua on her way upstairs, who was alreadying down to get her.


    "Is she sleeping?." Fu Hua asked. Instead of Jia Li to reply, the little bun responded by lifting her head to gaze at her father.


    "Hey, little princess, how are you?." Fu Hua said with a smile as he touched Jasmine''s cheeks. Jasmine just stared at him without saying anything, and then she went back to resting her head on her mother''s shoulder.


    "Why is she making me feel guilty?." Fu Hua asked with his gaze on Jia Li.


    "That''s the same way I felt when I saw her." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    Fu Hua smiled with his gaze on the little bun who was staring silently at him. And then he nced at Jia Li to see that it was risky for her to stand on the stairs while facing him, so he quickly told her toe up, so they could go to their bedroom.


    With the little bun in her arms, Jia Li walked the stairs in her stilettos, up till she got to her bedroom. Knowing that the little bun wouldn''t let her go so easily, Jia Li sat on her bed with the little girl in her arms.


    It wasn''t quite long since Jasmine has been in her mother''s arms before she began to demand for her food. Seeing her mother''s boobs from her dress, the little girl reached out her hands to touch and press them, and would sometimes nce up to look at her mother while doing so.


    "You want your milk? Fine, wait for me to change my clothes okay?." Jia Li said to her in a soft tone, but the little bun pouted her lips as if she was going to cry the next minute.


    Since Jia Li felt guilty for leaving her, she didn''t want her to cry, so she asked Fu Hua to unzip her dress, so she could breastfeed their little bun.


    Seeing the big buns in front of her, the little girl quickly put her mouth on one and reached out to touch the other one with her hand.


    "It''s going to be a long morning." Fu Hua said with a smile as he watched the mother and daughter.


    "And that''s why I prepared for it.." Jia Li said with a sigh.

 Chapter 403 - FangSu Is Ready To Apologize

    <h4>Chapter 403 - FangSu Is Ready To Apologize</h4>


    At work, everyone that celebrated Valentine the previous day was chatting happily about it during their lunch hours. Most people gossiped about how their Boss must have spent the day with his wife as he said.


    But because they were afraid of being heard by their superiors while talking about the Big Boss, they could only talk for a short time, before giving up on the topic.


    Bai Jun who spent the evening alone with her parents-inw, couldn''t stand listening to that conversation and went to sit on her desk and scratched it with her nails while building up the hate within her.


    Meanwhile, today is the same day that FangSu made up her mind to apologize to her brother. It took a lot for her to decide to end everything today, and so, she picked up her phone to call her mother and tell her of her decisions.


    "You have made the best move. Now go on and pay a visit to your brother in thepany. You can only meet him when work hours have ended. Don''t forget to be sincere with your apologies. Only call me when you have apologized to him, good luck." Fu Hua said to FangSu before terminating the call.


    FangSu frowned in worry as she wondered why her mother was in a hurry to end the call when she was about to ask her for more details concerning how she should bring up the apology.


    When FangSu thought about her big brother, all she saw was a cold-faced man who looked down at people with indifference because he doesn''t care about them. Now seeing her bother in the light, FangSu wondered how possible it was for her to apologize to someone like him.


    The more FangSu saw Fu Hua in that light, the more she became afraid to go and apologize to him because she was scared of him.


    While biting her lips and thinking of what to do, she walked into the sitting room and she saw Fu Meixu all by herself while smiling with her gaze on the TV. It was rare to see Fu Meixu in the house since she now had an apartment to herself.


    Most of the time, she would be busy filming or resting in her condominium. She would onlye back to the house when she felt like it.


    Seeing how idle her cousin was, an idea came to FangSu, and she suddenly rxed.


    "Meixu, I want you to follow me somewhere," FangSu said as she came to stand by the side where she could be seen.


    "Yah... whenst did you call me by my first name." Fu Meixu said in wonder. Honestly, she was surprised with FangSu addressing her that way.


    "Was that the only thing you picked out of everything I said to you?." FangSu asked with a frown.


    Fu Meixu looked her up and down before ncing back at the Tv. "Why do you want me to follow you out?"


    "Because I want you to follow me out," FangSu replied with a serious gaze on her.


    "What kind of reply is that? Well, let''s skip to the next part. What will I get in return for following you out? You know, I am a very busy woman with a tight schedule, you have to buy my time if you want my attention." Fu Meixu said with a proud gaze.


    FangSu scoffed as she asked, "You have a tight schedule? But why do I see that you are here watching dramas alone."


    "This is my free time. It looks like you''re looking down on me, well you can leave if you don''t have anything to offer for my help." Fu Meixu said as she looked away.


    Knowing how important it was to apologize to her brother, FangSu stopped arguing and said to Fu Meixu, "Alright, I will take you to buy any bag of your choice."


    "Well, that''s more like it." Fu Meixu said in an excited tone as she jumped up to her feet. "I will go and get dressed now."


    "Won''t you ask where we are going to?." FangSu asked in a low tone as she watched Fu Meixu skip away immediately.


    ''Actually, it''s good that you didn''t ask, because you may not want to leave with me.'' FangSu thought with a sigh before going to get ready.


    FangSu was really annoyed when she finished dressing and came out only to learn that Fu Meixu was still making up. She angrily went to find her in her bedroom.


    "I said to follow me out, did I ever say that we were going to see your boyfriend?." FangSu asked angrily.


    "Rx. I am a celebrity, so of course, I have to look good if I am to appear in public. Don''t worry, I''m almost through." Fu Meixu said while applying a red lipstick ????


    FangSu red at her. "Are you the only celebrity in the world, am I not a celebrity as well?."


    Fu Meixu got to her feet and stood face to face with FangSu, and opened her lips to ask with a proud smile, "Who has more fan base?."


    That question really shut FangSu up. And FangSu was beginning to regret the reason she asked her to follow her out.


    ''Just wait till you see where we are going, then let''s see if you still feel proud of yourself.'' FangSu thought to herself.


    Without wasting time, Fu Meixu picked up her phone and bag and followed FangSu out.


    Immediately they got into the car, Fu Meixu asked with her gaze on FangSu, "Where did you say we were going again?"


    "We are going to FJ to see my brother," FangSu replied as she put the car key in the ignition. Immediately Fu Meixu heard where they were going to, she was dumbfounded and immediately tried to pry the door open, but FangSu who was faster than her as she already knew what her next move would be, immediately locked the door.


    "You eat to run away? It''s toote." FangSu said as she ignited the car''s engine and drove away.


    Ten minutes into the ride, Fu Meixu asked with creased brows, "Was it that hard for you to tell me where you wanted me to follow you to?."

 Chapter 404 - Out For A Cup Of Coffee

    <h4>Chapter 404 - Out For A Cup Of Coffee</h4>


    "You never asked, and out of my benevolence, I wanted to tell you about it, but you ran to get dressed, so who am I to stop you with just a few words? I didn''t want to disrupt your peace." Fangsu said with her eyes on the road. She was really having fun seeing Fu Meixu''s ugly facial expression.


    "Really?." Fu Meixu asked with an unbelievable gaze on her. She was so angry right now that Fangsu deceived her.


    "I''m serious. Don''t worry, no harm wille to you. I just want to meet my brother to apologize to him, that''s all." FangSu said while sparing her a nce.


    "No harm wille to me? Are you for real, don''t you know how scary your brother is? I really admire your confidence. You are not sure of your safety, and you are already assuring me of mine." Fu Meixu said as she looked away angrily.


    "Heh! don''t scare me, or we will both get into trouble," FangSu said in a nervous tone after being reminded of how scary her brother could be when he was angry.


    "Minutester, FangSu and Fu Meixu arrived at FJ''s underground parking lot. After turning off the car''s engine, Fangsu sighed while ncing at her surroundings.


    Fu Meixu opened the car door and stepped out, but when she turned around, FangSu was not making any move, so she asked with a frown, " Work hours just ended, are you waiting for your brother Hua to arrive before you step out if the car like a proud little princess that you are?."


    Being reminded of what she came to do, FangSu took a deep breath before stepping out of the car.


    15 minutes into waiting, FangSu saw Jia Liing out of the elevator, abd it was obvious that she was about to leave work.


    "Jia Li is out, let''s go and say ''hello'' to her." Fu Meixu said with an excited gaze as she watched Jia Li walk towards their side, but it was obvious that thetter had not seen them yet.


    "I didn''te here for her," FangSu said with a frown. What she felt towards Jia Li was immense guilt, while she felt fear for her brother, given all the evil she had done to them.


    "You want to apologize to your brother? Then you have to do it through his wife. It is easier to get through your sister-inw''s heart, than your brother''s heart. Go and apologize to her, then the road leading to your brother''s heart will open up a little." Fu Meixu advised.


    "But I''m also afraid of her," FangSu revealed.


    Fu Meixu rolled her eyes at her and said, "I never knew there were people you feared. Let''s go and greet her before you miss this opportunity."


    Before FangSu could protest a little, Fu Meixu had already called out to Jia Li, while pushing her to the front.


    ''This girl!'' FangSu eximed in her mind.


    Jia Li heard her name being called, so she nced around to see who it was. Jia Li was surprised to see Fu Meixu and FangSu standing together. Last she remembered, those two were enemies. But that''s not the point, the point, is what were they doing in FJ''s underground parking lot?


    "Jia Li, how are you?." Fu Meixu greeted in excitement as she dragged FangSu to meet her close to her car.


    "I''m fine and you, sister Meixu?." Jia Li asked with a smile.


    "I''m fine." Fu Meixu replied as she secretly pinched FangSu as a reminder for her to greet Jia Li.


    "Hello, Jia... Sis... sister-inw." FangSu greeted in a small tone.


    Jia Li nced at her in surprise. She was really taken aback that she took the initiative to speak to her, and it started with a greeting.


    "Hello!." Jia Li replied.


    FangSu found the scenario awkward, and she didn''t know how to continue until she received another pinch from Fu Meixu who was smiling harmlessly, and only then did she speak out.


    "Sister-inw, I''m sorry for everything I have done to you, please forgive me," FangSu said with her head down.


    Jia Li released a deep breath and said to her in a low tone, while being surprised that she was apologizing to her, "It''s okay."


    After saying that, Jia Li walked forward to open her car, but Fu Meixu caught her arms and smiled sheepishly.


    "Jia Li, can I invite you for a quick cup of coffee?." Fu Meixu requested with a smile.


    Fu Meixu knew that Jia Li had not really forgiven FangSu, and just said that because she had to. FangSu dropped her pride to apologize, and knowing Jia Li, she would ept the apology, but won''t try to get close to the person, so Fu Meixu knew that she had to but some of her time.


    Even FangSu could tell that Jia Li had not forgiven her, and as she didn''t know what next to do, she could only watch her walk away.


    Jia Li was in a dilemma at Fu Meixu''s request. "I need to get back home on time, Mum has been taking care of Jasmine since I left in the morning."


    "Actually we came to see you. Don''t worry, you just have to sit with us to have a cup of coffee, and then we will bring you back here." Fu Meixu assured her with a smile.


    Seeing that Fu Meixu was putting in a lot of effort for her, FangSu quickly chipped in, "We promise not to waste your time."


    Jia Li nced at the two youngdies of the Fu family, before agreeing to follow them out.


    "Thank you!." Fu Meixu and FangSu chorused happily.


    Fu Meixu quickly pulled Jia Li towards FangSu''s car, while thetter walked ahead to unlock the car door for them.


    When Fu Hua came out to leave in his car, he was surprised to see Jia Li''s car still parked in the underground parking lot.


    ''Is she still working?.'' Fu Hua thought as he picked up his phone to call Zimo so he could check on Jia Li.


    When Zimo confirmed from Sunny that Jia Li had already left work some minutes ago, and reported it to Fu Hua, Fu Hua became worried and dialed Jia Li''s number.


    Jia Li was already at the cafe with FangSu and Fu Meixu when Fu Hua called, so she excused herself to answer the call.


    "Are you okay? where are you?." Fu Hua asked in a worried tone.


    "I''m fine, I went out with someone. I will be back soon." Jia Li replied after sensing the worry in his tone.


    "I will wait for you in the underground parking lot.." Fu Hua said to her.

 Chapter 405 - Did I Ask You To Rip Me Off?

    <h4>Chapter 405 - Did I Ask You To Rip Me Off?</h4>


    When FangSu was driving Jia Li back to FJ, thetter told her that Fu Hua was waiting at the car park for her, and she could drive in if she was ready to meet him.


    FangSu was scared to learn that her brother was waiting at the underground parking lot, even Fu Meixu became afraid and said that they would meet him next time.


    But after forcing herself to think appropriately, she knew it wouldn''t be right not to meet her brother when she was already at hispany, and besides, Jia Li would surely him tell him that she was out with them.


    In other not to be disrespectful to him, FangSu divided to drive in much to the surprise of Jia Li and Fu Meixu.


    "Sister-inw, I will drive in, I want to greet my brother. The worst that could happen, is that I will get scolded for appearing in front of him, and I''m ready for it." FangSu said to Jia Li.


    "But I''m not ready you idiot!'' Fu Meixu screamed in her head. She was already happy that they wouldn''t need to see Fu Hua after speaking with Jia Li, but who knew that the Cold CEO would be waiting for his hidden wife? Fu Meixu felt like dying at this moment so she could escape from her cousin''s rot.


    Jia Li saw how FangSu and Fu Meixu were acting as if they would go to hell if they met Fu Hua. Jia Li found their actions funny, but she didn''tugh out loud.


    When FangSu drove into the underground parking lot, she saw Fu Hua standing far away with another man (Zimo) standing beside him, and immediately, she became tense as she gripped her steering tightly.


    Fu Meixu''s heart skipped a bit as she slowly lowered her gaze. She was wondering why Fu Hua was standing outside instead of sitting in his car. ''Did he miss his wife so much that he couldn''t stay put?'' She thought to herself.


    "He is not going to eat you." Jia Li said as she nced at the two youngdies.


    "Jia Li, you have to speak in our favor, we are sorry for taking your time." Fu Meixu apologized.


    Now, Jia Li couldn''t helpughing at them. She just confirmed how scared the two of them were of Fu Hua.


    When FangSu drove closer, Fu Hua saw her face and a deep frown appeared on his face as wrinkles appeared on his forehead.


    Fu Hua had a narrowed gaze as he watched his sister park in front of him, and out came his wife from the back passenger side of the car.


    "You were with them?." Fu Hua asked Jia Li who came to his side after FangSu and Fu Meixu stepped out of the car.


    Jia Li nced at the twodies that just managed to mask their nervousness, before ncing back at Fu Hua. "Yes. We went out for a cup of coffee."


    "What did theye to see you for?." Fu Hua asked with a frown.


    FangSu and Fu Meixu has been trying to find an opportunity to greet Fu Hua, but he wasn''t giving them an opportunity, instead, he continued to ask Jia Li questions as if they were not existing.


    "It''s nothing much, don''t worry about it. Have you been waiting for a long time?." Jia Li asked with a gentle gaze on him.


    "Not much." Fu Hua replied as he pulled her close to him. As an opportunity presented itself, FangSu and Fu Meixu quickly walked over to greet Fu Hua.


    "Hello, brother Hua." Fu Meixu greeted with a smile.


    "Hello, brother." FangSu greeted in a low tone.


    Fu Hua finally gave them a good look before saying, "You can leave." After that, he took Jia Li''s hand and walked to his car to open the front passenger door for Jia Li.


    "Give me your car key?." Fu Hua asked as he stretched his palm out to Jia Li, who in turn, put her car key in his hand. Zimo quickly walked over and took the car key from him before stepping back.


    FangSu was thinking, how could she let her brother go like that when he didn''t respond to their greetings, so she gathered courage and spoke immediately, "Brother, please can you give me a minute of your time?."


    Fu Hua nced at her with a frown and said, "I don''t have any time to spare for you."


    Fu Hua got into his car and drove away without looking back. Zimo on the other hand got into Jia Li''s car and drove away as well.


    After they left, Fu Meixu took back her smile andughed in relief. But when she nced at FangSu, she that thetter was smiling.


    "What is wrong with you, did an angel visit you?." Fu Meixu asked in wonder.


    "I am happy that my brother spoke to me. You don''t know this, but he hasn''t said a word to me for over


    6 months now." FangSu said in an excited tone. She didn''t care what Fu Hua said to her, but that he spoke to her, was a reason for her to be jumping up and down in excitement.


    "You have totally lost it! I almost forgot to breathe because of his response, and you are happy. By the way, you owe me a bag,e and drive me to the shopping mall now." Fu Meixu demanded before getting into the car.


    FangSu was so happy that she didn''t mind fulfilling her promise to Fu Meixu, so she got into the car and drove straight to a high-end mall.


    Some minutester, FangSu was regretting while she said she would buy a bag of any choice for Fu Meixu because thetter just picked up one of the most expensive bags in the mall.


    "When I said I would get you any bag of your choice, did I ask you to rip me off?." FangSu asked with a deep frown as she watched Fu Meixu smile so sweetly at the bag in her hands.


    "It''s because you didn''t mention it that''s the reason I want to pick the bag I have been eyeing for a long time now." Fu Meixu said as she nced at FangSu with a smile.


    "I don''t have much money to spend, and I really have to be very tight with my budget," FangSuined.


    "That''s not my problem, next time, don''t make promises you can''t keep, or actually, you have to think twice before making a promise. Now get your ass over to the counter ande pay for the bag." Fu Meixu said with a smile before walking away.


    FangSu was so angry that Fu Meixu was going to rip her off, but she couldn''t me her, since she made a promise to her.. So after stomping her feet in anger when no one was watching, she changed her looks immediately, before following after Fu Meixu with a fake smile.

    <h4>Chapter 406 - Jia Li Secretly ns Fu Hua''s Birthday</h4>


    "Why did theye to see you?." Fu Hua asked with his eyes on the road.


    "FangSu came to apologize to me." Jia Li replied.


    "Has she finally regained her senses?." Fu Hua asked with a frown.


    "You, don''t be angry and just keep your eyes, I''m tired." Jia Li said to him. Fu Hua nced at her and asked, "Why, you don''t want to hear me speak?."


    "No that''s not it. But if you say sweet words to me, I wouldn''t mind." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    "I see..." Fu Hua said as a smirk turned up on his lips. This was someone who was angry a few seconds ago, but immediately he heard that she wanted to hear sweet words from him, his mood changed for the better.


    "So tell me, what do you want to hear?." Fu Hua asked with a smiling gaze.


    "Anything, as long as it''s sweet." Jia Li replied with her eyes closed. At least she managed to draw his attention to another thing, even though it would cost her a little blushing.


    "Okay. So do you want to know what it feels like for your clothes to be ripped off in the car, and you get bent over while Ie in from behind?." Fu Hua asked with a smirk on his lips, as he gazed at her to see her reaction.


    "What! Are you kidding me? These are not sweet words. Please drive me back home, I need to see my daughter this minute." Jia Li said as she looked away. This was more than she expected him to say.


    Fu Hua chuckled at her response and moved his bareback to the road. "It looks like Mrs. Fu can not stand my sweet words."


    Since it was the weekend, it was the best time to rx, but Jia Li feigned busy, so Fu Hua left her alone. Apart from when he forced her to take walks in the garden, apart from that, she was left alone.


    Fu Hua had no idea that Jia Li was secretly nning a surprise birthday party for him, so she was using all the contacts she had to prepare things while hiding from him.


    Fu Hua thought she had an assignment from work, and so he didn''t trouble her. And in other not to distract her, Fu Hua took care of Jasmine by himself. He watched cartoons with her, and yed games with her, and then watched over her while she crawled all over where she could get to.


    Yes, Jasmine finally decided to crawl before walking, and now, it was bing harder to look after her, as more attention was required.


    Since the little bun learned how to crawl, she doesn''t stay at a ce anymore. If you take your eyes off her for a minute, you will definitely regret it, because she would take something she was not supposed to, or touch something she shouldn''t. Then let''s not talk about her pulling, smashing, and hitting important things on the floor, and then putting harmful things in her mouth.


    Just don''t take your eyes off her, and everything will be fine. And in case she wants to crawl t the wrong ce like the kitchen, you just have to carry her away before it''s toote.


    The little bun had so many knee pads that Jia Li bought to prevent her knees from getting injured or scrapped.


    Not minding how troublesome Jasmine could be, it was really fun to watch the cute little chubby girl with her hair tied up in two buns, crawling all over the ce.


    So, while Jia Li was secretly nning to surprise Fu Hua, thetter was spending time with their daughter.


    It was not just Jia Li who remembered Fu Hua''s birthday, but most people including Bai Jun and Feng Alix remembered his birthday.


    These two other women were in different situations, but they didn''t forget Fu Hua''s birthday. Although in different situations, both had the same thought. They wanted to gift Fu Hua something so they started preparing for it.


    By Wednesday, Jia Li was done with her ns and they were already being implemented. Jia already sent out invitations to all the immediate members of the Fu family, inviting them to their home to celebrate Fu Hua''s birthday.


    She also mentioned in the invite that it was a surprise birthday party, so they can''t say anything to Fu Hua.


    Fu Juan and FangSu got an invitation as well, but FangSu was the most excited out of everyone. She couldn''t believe that she could attend her brother''s birthday party simply because she made peace with her sister-inw. FangSu was grateful to Jia Li.


    Jia Li already told the kitchen what to prepare, and with Fu Hee''s help, Jia Li got people to decorate the house in preparation to celebrate Fu Hua''s birthday.


    The next day which was Thursday and Fu Hua''s birthday, Jia Li woke up early and kissed Fu Hua on the cheeks. And when he opened his eyes to look at her, she wished him a happy birthday.


    "Happy Birthday, Darling." Jia Li said with a big smile before leaning in to kiss his lips again.


    Fu Hua smiled and stretched his hands out towards her and brought her to his chest and hugged her tightly.


    "Thank you!." Fu Hua said in a low husky tone.


    "Today is your day, but you have to listen to everything I tell you, don''t ruin the fun." Jia Li said as she raised her head to gaze at him.


    With his hands on her back, Fu Hua asked with a smile, "You just said that today is my birthday, but why do I have to listen to you, shouldn''t it be the other way round?."


    "I know, but you have no choice but to listen to me today. You have to dismiss everyone on time at work today, so we can meet up with the appointment I made at the spa. I''m taking you to get a massage after work." Jia Li said as she pinched his nose.


    "Hmmm ???? this sounds like an interesting idea, but I would feel better if you would be the one to give me a massage, I want your hands on my body." Fu Hua teased as he leaned in to kiss her face.


    "You would really see my hands on your body if you don''t stand up this minute." Jia Li said as she pinched his nipples.


    That was unexpected, so Fu Hua screamed in shock and quickly let go of her.

 Chapter 407 - Mrs. Yangs Worries

    <h4>Chapter 407 - Mrs. Yang''s Worries</h4>


    While they were getting ready for work, Fu Hua was still sulking like a child because Jia Li pinched him. Seeing how childish he looked, Jia Li chuckled softly and asked, "Why are you sulking like a child?."


    "You pinched me." Fu Hua replied in a childish tone as he went on to take off his pajamas.


    "Does it still hurt?." Jia Li asked as she nced at nipples that had already turned red.


    "It still hurts." Fu Hua replied with a pitiful gaze on her. Jia Li took pity on him and decided to cheer him up.


    She licked his nipples with her cool tongue before looking up at him with a smile. ''This should be fine."


    "You don''t want to leave for work on time?." Fu Hua asked as he held her hands and brought her to his embrace.


    "Since I started working in FJ, I have never beente to work. Wash up and get dressed, I will give you a treat after work." Jia Li said with a wink.


    "I will be anticipating." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    Knowing that Fu Hua liked to see her hair down, Jia Li purposely let her long silky ck ink hair down. She put a beautiful hairpin by the right side of her hair and looked satisfied after she nced at herself in the mirror.


    Today, she put extra care while dressing up, because she wanted to look good as it was Fu Hua''s birthday.


    When Fu Hua saw her looking so beautiful, he smiled proudly and hugged her from behind. "You look so gorgeous."


    "I know, thank you!." Jia Li said to him.


    "I''m leaving now, I have an important meeting with someone before going to the office, so see youter." Fu Hua said as he kissed her cheeks.


    "Mmm... see you." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    When Fu Hua left her sight, she picked up her phone to call Zimo. "Is everything ready on that end?."


    "Yes Ma''am," Zimo replied in an excited tone. It felt so nice to surprise his Boss, and he couldn''t wait to see what his reaction will be.


    Before leaving the house, Jia Li reminded Fu Hee about the event nner she got.


    "I know, go to work already and stop worrying about it, I will take care of everything." Fu Hee said with a smile.


    Jia Li was worried because she wanted her ns to be perfect to celebrate her husband, so she couldn''t help but act up.


    After getting her mother-inw''s assurance, Jia Li agreed to leave for work.


    Bai Jun who thought hard about what to gift Fu Hua for his birthday slept veryter after sessfully making a purchase and paying for the delivery.


    Right beforeying on the couch to sleep, she set an rm with her phone, so she can wake up early the next morning to prepare for work, but Yang Peng was very irritated by the rm that disturbed his sleep, that he woke and angrily walked towards the couch.


    Yang Peng canceled the rm and went into the bathroom. When he finished getting ready for work, he picked up his phone and his work bag and left the bedroom.


    Immediately he closed the door with a loud thud, Bai Jun felt disturbed in her sleep and frowned as she slowly opened her eyes. Picking up her phone to check the time, she screamed in shock and immediately got off the bed and ran into the bathroom to take a quick shower and get dressed for work.


    Bai Jun did all these while cursing. She was sure that she set an arm before sleeping, and now she was wondering the reason she didn''t hear it ring.


    After getting dressed in a hurry, Bai Jun applied a bright red lipstick before taking her bag with her and leaving the bedroom.


    Bai Jun did not bother to have breakfast when her mother-inw called out for her, and it''s not like she always joined them, so she wouldn''t join them now that she was runningte to work, after all, none of them bothered to check up on her when they didn''t see her by the usual time.


    Yang Peng had already left for work when Bai Jun cane out of the bedroom. Whether he canceled the rm on purpose or because it disturbed him, only he could tell.


    "Do you think they are quarreling?." Mrs. Yang asked her husband with a deep frown.


    ncing up at her, Mr. Yang said, "This is not the first time they are acting like this. In short, since they got married, they have been acting indifferently towards each other."


    "Don''t you think this is bothersome, don''t you think I should talk to them?." Mrs. Yang asked with a frown. It was not a good thing to learn that her son and daughter-inw were having silent issues just after they got married, so she was deeply worried.


    "Don''t rush things, you can talk to them at different times." Mr. Yang advised, and Mrs. Yan epted it.


    When Fu Hua was done with his meeting, he came to FJ with Zimo. Walking into the building, his staff greeted him cheerfully and wished him a happy birthday.


    Fu Hua smiled slightly and walked past them. The only thing he was thinking about, was his wife''s promise to him before he left the house.


    When he got to the door of his office, he put his fingerprint and the door unlocked. Pushing it open, he got the most shocking surprise of his life.


    His office was fully decorated with birthday stuff. "What is going on here?." He asked as he stepped into his office. He was still wowed by the surprise.


    Zimo who was following behind him asked with a grin, "Sir, do you like it? Ma''am made all the arrangements to surprise you."


    "My wife did all these and she didn''t say anything to me at home?." Fu Hua asked while taking a good look at his office. There was a big cake on his desk and a bouquet with a bottle of champagne as so many other interesting things.


    The office was decorated with blue and ck balloons, and rose petals.. And there were also unopened boxes of gifts given to Fu Hua.

 Chapter 408 - Jia Li Lies To Get Away

    <h4>Chapter 408 - Jia Li Lies To Get Away</h4>


    "Of course Boss, it''s Ma''am that made the arrangement. Without your permission, who dares to do this to your office?." Zimo said with a proud smile. He was very happy that he was part of the surprise.


    Fu Hua felt so sweet that Jia Li nned a wonderful surprise for him. Walking up to his desk, he picked up the bouquet and nced at it before turning to his assistant to ask, "Do women give men flowers? This seems weird."


    "Boss, it happens, it''s just rare," Zimo replied with a smile.


    "You can leave." Fu Hua said to him as he went to sit down????. His gaze couldn''t leave the decors and other preparations his wife made for him.


    When Zimo left Fu Hua''s office, He immediately texted Jia Li. ''Mission sessful''


    Soon, everyone heard that the hidden wife of their Cold Boss prepared a surprise to celebrate their Boss''s birthday. Most of them were not sure, but the rumors were already spreading all over in FJ.


    Imagine what Bai Jun who was just scolded and some points deducted from her, did when sue heard of the rumors. She nced at Jia Li with a death gaze.


    She could tell that Jia Li dressed up so beautifully on purpose because today was Fu Hua''s birthday. And letting her hair down, made her look more attractive, so Bai Jun was jealous. She was having a bad morning, while someone was having a good day.


    Close to the time for a lunch break, Jia Li went into Sunny''s office to report something to her.


    "Miss Sunny, the Boss''s assistant Mr. Zimo asked me toe over to verify a document we submitted to the Big Boss yesterday." Jia Li lied with a straight face.


    Jia Li couldn''t wait to see Fu Hua and hug him while giving him plenty of kisses, so she had to lie just so she could get to see him. She was really bing very bold.


    Sunny who already had a file in her hand, nced at Jia Li in surprise. She felt that Jia Li looked so different today, but she didn''t think too much about it.


    Jia Li, on the other hand, thought that Sunny was sensing fishy, and became tensed. She immediately took the file from Sunny as she said to her in a polite tone, "Miss Sunny, do you also want to give this to the Boss? Since I''m going to see him, I will help you submit it."


    As Jia Li was saying that, she was already taking the file from Sunny, and after that, she turned to leave immediately, but Sunny who was taken aback, immediately called out to her.


    "When did I say you could leave?." Sunny questioned with her fists on her jaw while gazing at Jia Li.


    Her question made Jia Li to think that something serious was already up. She thought she had been found out, and so took a deep breath and turned around, before lowering her gaze to apologize first.


    "I''m sorry. I was in a hurry to submit the file ande back to continue with my work."


    Sunny who had her thoughts on a different matter said to Jia Li, "I know this sounds childish, but can you take a picture of the Boss''s office, so I can see how romantic his wife is."


    With the rumors spreading regarding the hidden wife and the surprise she made for their Boss, Sunny was equally curious just like every other worker in the matter, and this was weird for her to make that kind of request, but it was rare for her to show interests in the matters rted to their Boss''s we hidden wife.


    Jia Li was truly surprised by Sunny''s request. But because of thetter''s serious facial expression, Jia Li could not afford tough, because her request was weird.


    "I will, Miss Sunny." Jia Li assured her with a polite smile, and only then did Sunny allow her to leave.


    Jia Li was more proud of herself that she was able to tell such a lie to Sunny and go away safely. But if you ask her if she has any ns about taking this kind of risk again, she wouldn''t want to think about it.


    Walking into Fu Hua''s office with a file in her hand after the door was opened by Zimo who was alsoing over to give something to Fu Hua.


    Fu Hua who had a telephone in his hand, and was about to dial ?? a number, slowly put the telephone down and sighed in relief when he saw Jia Li.


    "I was about calling Sunny to send you up here if you didn''t appear now." Fu Hua revealed as he opened his arms.


    He couldn''t allow the fact that his wife who nned all these for him, would note up once, to at least drink with him or cut his cake with him so he was about calling Sunny to ask Jia Li toe up with one reason on the other before Jia Li appeared before him.


    "I''m here now, you don''t need to worry too much." Jia Li said with a smile as she looked around his office to admire the decors. She was the one that chose the colors for everything in there, but just was the first time being opportune to see the designs after they were assembled.


    Zimo knew that it was time to go away, so he smiled and walked away silently.


    "I love all of these, when did you have time to prepare all these?." Fu Hua asked.


    "I was my just with the nning duringst weekend." Jia Li said with a wink.


    "Come here." Fu Hua said as he gestured for her toe over to his side, and so Jia Li obediently went over.


    Pulling her to sit on his thighs, Fu Hua kissed her lips and thanked her for the surprise. Jia Li didn''t need him to thank her, so she blocked his mouth with her lips and kissed him deeply.


    It took a while before they separated, and they were already out of breath by them.

 Chapter 409 - Birthday Celebration

    <h4>Chapter 409 - Birthday Celebration</h4>


    "Thank you, my love." Fu Hua said with his hands wrapped around her waist. Jia Li just smiled and gave him a peck before looking around his office


    "I had no idea you were this proved by your employees. They sent you so many gifts."


    Fu Hua nced around and said with a smile. "I don''t care about their love, I only care about the one you have for me."


    "You are so naughty." Jia Li said as she got off his thighs. "I have to get back to my station in 10-15 minutes."


    "No, 20 minutes. Spend 20 minutes with me. We will cut the cake together, drink some wine and chat before you go back." Fu Hua said while holding her hand.


    Jia Li stared at him for a few minutes before saying, "20 minutes it is then. But work matters have to be included, so I can report back to Miss Sunny."


    Fu Hua agreed to her requests, and so they went on to cut the cake, drink a little wine since it was still work hours, and chat. Talking about the gifts, Fu Hua said they would go through them together the next day.


    Before Jia Li left, she didn''t forget to take a few seconds video of the entire office.


    When Jia Li showed the video to Sunny, thetter was surprised at how she managed to get the video without Fu Hua noticing.


    "He wasn''t looking, so I took that opportunity to get the video." Jia Li replied.


    Jia Li was now so good at lying that she was doing it so smoothly. This was the person that told Fu Hua to pretend like she wasn''t there while she too the video.


    Sunny believed her but felt that she took a big risk, because if Fu Hua discovered her, he may punish her.


    To the surprise of FJ''s employees, their Big Boss shared his birthday cake amongst them. This has never happened before! They all began to wonder when their Boss became so kind.


    Bai Jun was happy to eat a piece of the cake, without minding that Jia Li was the one that arranged everything. She envisioned that Fu Hua personally picked a piece from his cake and gave it to her with a smile. That was what Bai Jun thought while eating the cake.


    After eating the cake, she forgot about all the troubles and disappointments she faced that day and was now thinking if Fu Hua had seen the gift she sent to him.


    After work hours, Jia Li took Fu Hua to get a massage, after which she got a new outfit for him to get dressed in.


    "Are you taking me out for dinner?." Fu Hua asked with a smile.


    "Kind of, but we are having dinner at home. We can''t stay out today, Jasmine has to partake in her father''s birthday celebration." Jia Li replied.


    Fu Hua saw sense in what Jia Li said, and agreed to that, so they got into the car and left for home.


    On their way back home, Jia Li sent out a test to Fu Hee to ask if everyone had arrived. After getting a positive response, Jia Li rxed her tense shoulders.


    When they got home, Fu Hua held Jia Li by the waist and walked into the house, but what he saw, shocked him. All the immediate members of his family were in his house, and immediately he stepped in with Jia Li, they started singing a birthday song for him.


    "What?" Fu Hua said with an unbelievable facial expression as he nced at everybody before looking at Jia Li who was standing by his side and singing along with everyone else. He was really taken aback by everything.


    After singing the birthday song, Fu Hua turned to look at Jia Li and asked to the hearing of everyone, "When did you have time to do all of these?."


    "Brother, are you surprised? Then this is a good thing!" YingPei said with a big smile. It was not easy to do anything to surprise his big brother, so he was happy that it was possible to take him unawares.


    "Why are two still standing over there? Come in and seat down." Grandfather Fu said as he beckoned on them. The old man was sitting while carrying his great-granddaughter on his thighs.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua walked in proper and came over to greet the old man and the rest of the elders like Fu Lei, Fu Geming, Fu Juan, Fu Hee, and Fu ChuHua.


    When Fu Hua saw FangSu, his smiling gaze almost disappeared. He was about to ask what she was doing in his house when Jia Li touched his arm and whispered to him, "I asked her toe and celebrate with us, I''m sorry I didn''t mention it to you since I was nning a surprise for you. I''m going to change my dress, I will be back in 10 minutes."


    After saying that, Jia Li patted his hand with a smile before walking away.


    FangSu who was scared that her brother would chase her away finally rxed after Jia Li spoke to him, and he moved his gaze away from her.


    "I told you that you don''t have to worry about being chased away. Once you are in Jia Li''s good books, you are safe. You really need to thank me again for helping you out." Fu Meixu whispered with a proud smile.


    FangSu red at her and said, "I spent all my money to buy you a gift, and still you are not appreciative. Why don''t you sell me and use the money you will get?"


    "I will consider it." Fu Meixu replied with a smirk before leaving her side. FangSu felt so annoyed by her attitude of nonchnt. Her heart has been bleeding silently since she saw paid for that expensive bag.


    Fu Meixu appeared on the news because of that bag, and given its worth, it was enough to garner attention from the media and fans.


    When Fu Meixu was asked how she got the bag, she said it was a gift from someone. She said that in a suggestive tone, and everyone thought it was a male friend that gave it to her.


    Seeing the news, FangSu was angry at everyone''s spection. One time, she screamed at her phone saying, "It''s my money, I bloody bought the bag for her!"

 Chapter 410 - Arguments

    <h4>Chapter 410 - Arguments</h4>


    After changing her dress, Jia Li came down, and that was when Jasmine decided that she had to be in her arms. When the little girl became fussy, it was really hard not to give in to her.


    What could Jia Li do other than to hold her in her arms? The little bun did not let anyone hold her again until her father came to carry her, and only then did she allow him.


    From Fu Hua''s arms, Jasmine went to Fu Hee''s arms, and then everyone got to carry her. When FangSu tried to take the little bun from Meixu, she refused.


    FangSu really wanted to hold the little girl, so she did everything she could just to get her attention, and atst, she seeded.


    FangSu deceived the little bun toe to her by holding up an adult food in her hand. Jasmine got excited and dived straight into FangSu''s arms, before stretching her little hands towards the chicken drumstick ????? in FangSu''s hand.


    When she failed to get it because FangSu moved the chicken away from her reach, the little bun started to cry with grievances.


    Those that were watching,ughed hard at how much the little bun was interested in eating adult food.


    "Do you really want it?." FangSu asked in surprise. She had no idea that the little bun would react so strongly to her actions.


    Jasmine cried and tried to reach out to the chicken drumstick again, but FangSu put it back on the te. Seeing that she was deceived, the little bun wanted to get away from FangSu''s hold and started kicking her feet.


    "Hey, why are you crying? You are so cute, you shouldn''t cry." FangSu said to the little bun with a frown.


    Fu Hua walked over and took Jasmine from her and walked back to his seat whileforting her.


    "Princess, you can''t eat the chicken, it''s adult food, and it''s spicy." Fu Hua spoke softly to the little bun who was still crying in his arms.


    "Mum is brother angry with me?." FangSu whispered to Fu Hee in worry.


    "He is not angry, but he is clearly unhappy." Fu Hee said with a sigh before walking away.


    ''What''s the difference?'' FangSu thought with a frown.


    Jia Li walked up to Fu Hua and passed a bottle of milk to the little bun who immediately stopped crying when she recognized her food.


    "Jasmine, take it." Jia Li said in a soft tone while handing the bottle to the little bun who nced at her before shifting her gaze back to her bottle of milk. The next moment, the little bun reached out to grab her milk bottle and put the nipple in her mouth, and started sucking it.


    "Da Xia can feed herself?" Fu ChuHua asked with a surprised gaze. She couldn''t believe that the little bun could hold her bottle herself while sucking from it.


    "It''s not difficult, she is a few days from being 7 months old, and before now, she has been grabbing things by herself." Fu Hee replied.


    Now that the little bun was feeding herself while rxing in her father''s arms, the party can continue now.


    Fu YingPei turned into a videographer and a photographer as he didn''t fail to capture most of the moment.


    After cutting the cake and everyone got a piece, Jia Li gave a tiny pinch from her piece to the little bun. Jasmine gobbled everything she was given and even reached out for more, but Jia Li refused to give her anymore and instead fed her water.


    Everything that looked like food to the little bun that passed by, she would want to eat it. And it was a good thing that there was a tight watch on her, because after seeing that being in people''s embrace wasn''t working, the little bun moved about in her mother''s arms, and Jia Li had no choice but to put her down.


    After getting her freedom, the little bun turned into a terrorist. She would crawl to anyone that had food in their hands and try to take it from them. Her actions were so cute that everyone found her funny and interesting.


    After the party ended, the Fu family members were ready to leave. Before stepping into his car, Grandfather Fu asked Jia Li and Fu Hua to return to the Fu family.


    "..e back and stay with us for some time. I am proud that my family is united once again. You don''t have to be afraid of getting bullied or treated unfairly. I am getting too old, and want to spend myst years with my family."


    Fu Hua said he would think about it, and the old man nodded before stepping into his car.


    Jia Li was touched by the old man''s words and asked Fu Hua not to think for a long time before giving a reply.


    Bai Jun on the other end has just finished quarreling with Yang Peng for what he did to her in the morning. He turned off her arm and made her go to workte. And the consequences of going to workte, made her receive scoldings, and some points were deducted from her.


    "This is my bedroom, and I can do what I want. How dare you set an rm to disrupt my sleep?" Yang Peng asked angrily.


    "Why are you so inconsiderate. I agree that this is your bedroom, but you are not here alone. I also need to do what I want as well!" Bai Jun said angrily.


    "You don''t have any right here. When you have your bedroom, you can do whatever you feel like and nobody will say anything." Yang Peng said with an ugly facial expression. He hated Bai Jun so much now that he didn''t even care about her. He didn''t care if his actions brought her trouble or not.


    "Is that what you are saying? Fine!." Bai Jun said before storming off.


    Bai Jun went straight to find her mother-inw and demanded that she arranged the visitor''s bedroom for her.


    Mrs. Yang looked worried when she saw how angry Bai Jun was, so she asked, "Why do you want a different bedroom?."


    "I can no longer ept being treated like a homeless dog by your son, so I want a bedroom for myself.." Bai Jun said in a raised tone.

    "How dare you raise your tone on my mother, have you lost your manners?!" Yang Peng asked angrily as he walked into the sitting room.


    "You should have thought about that before making me lose points to get retained in FJ!." Bai Jun shouted back.


    "How dare you!." Yang Peng asked as he raised his hand angrily, but Mrs. Yang immediately came to block him.


    "Were you trying to hit me now? It looks like you don''t treasure your life and your family. If you every your hands on me, I will sue you for assault and abuse. Don''t think that my family is dead and you can mistreat me." Bai Jun threatened while pointing a finger at him.


    "You still have the guts to stand there and talk back at me?." Yang Peng asked and tried to make a move, but his mother stopped him in a pleading tone while blocking his path.


    "Peng! stop it and go back to your bedroom!."


    "Why won''t I have the guts? I was born in a wealthy family, and never once have I been mistreated like this. You make me sleep on the couch every night, and you give me rules that I have to abide in. Today, I got scolded at work and points deducted because you turned off my rm when it rang, and you didn''t care to wake me up?." Bai Jun retorted.


    Bai Jun was fed up with Yang Peng''s mistreatment and wanted to have her bedroom. She couldn''t tolerate his attitude anymore.


    "You deserve every reaction and action you get from me!" Yang Peng said in a raised tone.


    Bai Jun did not bother to talk to him anymore. She nced at Mrs. Yang and said to her, "Aunty, I want my bedroom, and my things moved into it right now! If you don''t agree, I will go and lodge in a hotel or better still go back to my family, because I can not continue to be treated like a nobody."


    "Jun, I''m sorry, I will get the maid to arrange your things in the visitor''s bedroom." Mrs. Yang said in a pleading tone.


    "Mum why don''t you leave her to go back to her family or rent a hotel. She is a shameless woman!." Yang Peng said in anger. He was angrier that Bai Jun had the guts to talk back at him after how shameless she has been.


    "Yang Peng, please go back to your bedroom, we will talk about this matter another time." Mrs. Yang said as she pushed him so he could leave.


    At Bai Jun''s request, one of the visitor''s bedrooms was arranged for her that night, and her things were moved over, and finally, there was peace in the Yang family.


    After Bai Jun settled down in her new bedroom, she felt more at peace. Now, she could do whatever she wanted and nobody can stop her.


    The next day at work, Jia Li came to Fu Hua''s office to help him to unwrap the gifts he received. Anyone that didn''t have the name of the sender for confirmation, Fu Hua would give them to Zimo and ask him to use them after making sure nothing was wrong with it.


    Fu Hua gave out almost all the gifts he received because he was wealthy and didn''t need most of them. Jia Li felt that Fu Hua''s actions were rude, but she understood his principles and decided not to dwell on them.


    Zimo was happy to receive so many gifts from his Boss, and couldn''t wait to try them on.


    Bai Jun and Feng Alix who sent gifts to Fu Hua without attaching their names to it waited to see Fu Hua in what they gifted him, but that day never came, and it was a big disappointment to them.


    Two dayster, Feng Alix brought attention to herself again by showing off her engagement ring and the old man after her heart. She was very bold to type, ''Thank you my honeypie, we make a perfect couple ????'' under the picture she posted.


    This time around, Feng Alix was smart enough to turn off thement section under that post. And because of that particr post, the inte was on fire again.


    A weekter, Fu Hua makes a decision and moves back to the Fu House with his family. Grandfather was so happy that he threw a feast that night to wee them back.


    This thing about seeing the whole family, and a new environment was a new thing for Jasmine. The little girl kept ncing around her surrounding curiously for a few days before she started to rx and adapt to it.


    Now in the new month of March, it was time for FJ to ess their newbies, and those who didn''t umte or cross the point marks, will be on 3-4 months probation before another test will be given, to them, and so tasks were assigned to them.


    Sunny gave them their first test, and that was to mend a broken dress within 4 hours. Different types of dresses with many different issues were given to the newbies to fix.


    When each of them got the dresses they would be mending, they almost freaked out, because the kind of dresses they got was as good as waste. At that point, they all wished they were asked to make a new dress within 4 hours than to fix a well-damaged dress.


    The worst part of this task, was that they were not informed beforehand, they only knew they would be performing a pretty difficult task soon, but what could they do about it, it was part of their assessment.


    When Mari¨¦ took a good look at the dress she would be working on, she said in hernguage out of annoyance, "This is truly an ugly difficult task."


    "What a good task to wee us on Monday morning right after the weekend!." Linda said in an annoyed tone.


    Jia Li who rarely showed any emotions through her facial expressions, did today. A big frown appeared on her face as she stared hard at the damaged dress before her. She was thinking of how she was going to fix it.


    After having a bad weekend, there was nothing worse like this that Bai Jun could have expected to do after a stressful weekend, so there was anger written all over her face.

 Chapter 412 - Caught Red-handed

    <h4>Chapter 412 - Caught Red-handed</h4>


    Knowing that they just had four hours to finish mending the dresses and go have lunch, everyone got ready to put in their best effort.


    Jia Li took off her wedding ring and tied up her hair properly before she began to work on the dress.


    There was a big clock with a timer already set and ced in front of the big room, so the 20 of them would see the time they had left, each time they turned to nce at the wall.


    After working for 4 hours, the timer went off, and everyone was asked to leave and go have lunch. Everybody sighed in relief and left for the canteen for lunch.


    Jia Li was too tired to say a word to anybody she went straight to get her food before going to sit at an empty table.


    Bai Jun was the second person to arrive. She ordered her meal and found an empty table to sit down and eat.


    The rest of the newbies arrived in groups and went to ce an order for their food before Linda dragged Mari¨¦ and the others to go sit at Jia Li''s desk.


    The other groups of people, went to find another free table and chairs to seat, leaving only Bai Jun to herself.


    This is the kind of treatment Bai Jun has been receiving since everyone found out the secret she tried so hard to deny but failed.


    ncing over at Jia Li''s table and seeing how she was surrounded by the others while no one came to her, anger and jealousy brewed in Bai Jun''s heart. As anger and jealousy filled Bai Jun''s heart, she lost appetite to continue eating, so she carried her tray and walked away.


    Mari¨¦ scoffed after Bai Jun left and continued eating her food. As days went by, she hated Bai Jun more.


    "Sometimes I want to pity her, but I can''t." One of them said as she retracted her gaze from Bai Jun.


    "If you pity her, I will send you straight to her, so you two can be best friends and partners in crime." Mari¨¦ threatened.


    Linda smiled, as her eyes went to Jia Li''s finger, finding it empty. Having noticed that her wedding ring was not there, she asked, "JL, did you take off your wedding ring?."


    "Huh." ???? Jia Li reacted as she nced at her fingers and became worried when she didn''t see her ring. She was about to start panicking when she remembered where she left it after taking it off.


    "Thanks for the reminder, I left it on my work desk, I''m going to get it now, bye." Jia Li said as she got off from her seat with her tray in hand.


    "What about your food?." One of them asked in surprise.


    "I''m done eating." Jia Li replied and left hurriedly, her wedding ring was more important to her than the food she was eating.


    "It''s just a ring, why is she in a hurry, she didn''t finish her for because of it," Mari¨¦ said with her gaze on Jia Li.


    "It''s not just any ring, it''s her wedding ring," Linda replied.


    When Bai Jun left the canteen, she returned to the room where they stayed to work on the dresses and discovered that all the dresses they finished mending before going for lunch, had been taken out already.


    Bai Jun sighed as she wondered if she did a good job with the dress she worked on. As Bai Jun was about to leave, and inspiration to take a look in the room came to her, and so, she began to walk from desk to desk.


    After passing 5 desks, she went straight to the desk Jia Li used. Immediately she got there, light from the item on the desk reflected on her eyes, and after she re-positioned herself and took a good look, and behold, she saw a being lying on the desk and dly picked it up.


    She recognized the ring as Jia Li''s wedding ring. And thinking about how Fu Hua must have put the ring on Jia Li''s finger, Bai Jun became unhappy and took off her wedding ring and put Jia Li''s wedding ring on her finger.


    While admiring the ring on her finger, she said, "What''s so good about that bitch, this ring looks good on me too."


    "What do you think you''re doing?!." Jia Li asked angrily when she walked in and saw her wedding ring on Bai Jun''s finger.


    Bai Jun was shocked to see Jia Li and became a bit worried now that she was seen. She has been so busy fantasizing about Fu Hua putting the ring on her finger instead of Jia Li, that she didn''t notice when someone walked in.


    Bai Jun was still shocked by Jia Li''s appearance that she forgot to react, and that angered Jia Li the more. She immediately walked up to Bai Jun and snatched her wedding ring from her finger forcefully. Then after cleaning it, she slides it on her ring finger.


    "Miss Bai, you have really crossed the line today. I advise you not cross me again, or this will be the end of you working in FJ." Jia Li threatened while pointing a finger at her.


    Bai Jun came back to her senses and chuckled before responding. "It''s not like you have any evidence to report me with, so why are you showing off your fake authority in front of me?."


    "Fake authority? I can make you leave FJ this instant if I want to, because that CCTV camera there, is evidence to show my husband of the kind of twisted mindset you have about him, and let me see how you will rte in an environment where people hate and curse you for trying on another married woman''s wedding ring after taking off yours." Jia Li threatened again.


    She was so angry that she felt like pping Bai Jun hard on the face. And this was the first time in their lives they were exchanging words and having a face-off.


    When Bai Jun was reminded of the CCTV cameras in the room, she became angry and said to her, "Do you think Brother Hua will go against work ethics to fire me for personal reasons?."


    "Not when the personal reason is rted to him. I''m sure you remember his warnings clearly.." After saying that, Jia Li walked away, leaving the angry and humiliated Bai Jun to herself.

 Chapter 413 - Motherhood Is Not Childs Play

    <h4>Chapter 413 - Motherhood Is Not Child''s y</h4>


    The second task given to the newbies was a question and answer section, which was taken over by their supervisors. Thest task given was to sketch a dress with the theme, ''ck Beauty''. They didn''t need to make the dress, the sketch was enough to judge.


    The best sketches would be produced into the outfit by FJ''s creative department and released along with other designs.


    24 hours were given to the newbies to think of any design of their choice and sketch it. That was more than enough time for them toe up with something unique.


    Two weekster, which was close to the end of March, judgment was passed, and the results were announced. It was with delight that the 15 people that passed, were taken to dinner by Sunny and the other two assistant creative directors to celebrate their winnings.


    Bai Jun and the other 4 people that didn''t make it, were put on probation and demoted. They wouldn''t be given any major work, or join their colleagues to partake in the uing Autumn Fashion Show.


    All Bai Jun had, were tears to shed. After the results were announced, and she found out that she didn''t get up to 50%, she ran to the restroom to cry and phone her mother toin.


    "Jun, how could they do this to you? I know you are talented and would have easily made it, but this is so unfair!." Bai Fen said in an angry tone.


    As if telling her mother that she didn''t pass the tests, Bai Jun went on to reveal to her how she has been mistreated by her colleagues at work, and at home by her so-called husband who doesn''t even speak to her.


    Bai Fen was almost going berserk. She couldn''t believe that her daughter has been suffering so much for several weeks, and she didn''t say anything to her.


    "...Jun, I can''t tolerate you going through so much. Get a divorce, resign from FJ, and one back home. I can''t allow my only child to continue suffering even for a second."


    "Mum, I''vee this far, I can''t do that. I didn''te to FJ just so I can quit after 2 months. I just feel so pained that Brother Hua doesn''t look at me. It''s hard to see him. Since I came to FJ, I have only seen him thrice, and not even a moment did I get a chance to speak to him." Bai Jun said in a tired tone as she used her other hand to wipe her tears.


    Bai Fen was silent for a while before saying in a more gentle tone, "Jun, you are my child, and I wouldn''t want anything bad to happen to you. Take your mind off Fu Hua, he is not worth it anymore. I don''t want you to continue to suffer in FJ and the Yang family. You are still young, and you have a bright future ahead of you. But this will not stop you from getting revenge from everybody that brought you pain."


    "Mum, no matter what you say, I won''t leave Brother Hua and FJ. I have lost so many things because of him, so it''s toote to quit. I don''t have any friends anymore, my reputation keeps going down the drain. Mum, don''t worry about me, I will be fine, and I promise to get my revenge!." Bai Jun promised.


    Seeing how she has suffered a lot, and there was no progress, was the more reason she couldn''t give up. She couldn''t ept losing so much because of Fu Hua, and then give up just like that, at least not without a fight.


    When Bai Jun came out of the restroom, her eyes were red from crying, and everyone who saw the results knew the reason. Out of the 5 people that were on probation, Bai Jun was the only one her colleagues didn''tfort.


    Now that Jasmine was 8 months, Jia Li was already telling the little bun that she would stop breastfeeding her soon.


    "Jasmine, you have to quit this before you turn a year old. Do you hear me?." Jia Li said to the little bun that was hugging her boob all to herself.


    Jasmine just gazed at her and sucked as quickly as possible. She kind of understood what her mother was saying, but she didn''t agree with her.


    "If you don''t stop soon, I will let your father eat all your food." Jia Li threatened. Because of Jasmine, Fu Hua doesn''t suck on Jia Li''s boobs that much, since he was considering his daughter. So, Jia Li wanted to stop breastfeeding soon, so Fu Hua could have full ess to her.


    Jia Li wouldn''t dare to say this in Fu Hua''s presence, because that would look weird to her. Currently, she was trying to cut down the number of times she breastfed the little bun in a day.


    At least, she would breastfeed her in the morning before leaving for work, and in the evening, and the middle of the night.


    As for her bottle of milk, she was still giving it to her but nned to cut down on it so she could introduce more other baby foods to her.


    Jasmine didn''t care about what her mother was saying. She even babbled while the nipple was in her mouth, and raised her hand to touch her mother''s face.


    Taking a good look at her daughter''s facial features, a smile appeared on her face as she leaned in to kiss the little bun''s forehead.


    "Why are you so cute? When I look at you, I don''t have the heart to scold you. Okay, just be obedient and know when to stop, I won''t force you to quit, but mama is going to get very busy with work soon."


    Jasmine giggled after she released her mouth from her nipple. It looked like the little bun was satisfied.


    Jia Li made sure she burped, before putting her in a sitting position, so she could y with her toys.


    This was the mother and daughter time, so Jia Li was spending time also with the little bun. She talked to her about colors and the toys. It didn''t matter if the little bun was paying attention or not, Jia Li did what she was supposed to do.


    What made Jia Li speechless was the little bun, abandoning her toys and crawling to go look for something more exciting. This made Jia Li be more attentive and follow her everywhere.

 Chapter 414 - Bribing The Little Bun

    <h4>Chapter 414 - Bribing The Little Bun</h4>


    Bai Jun who still hasn''t gotten over the fact that she was left behind, didn''t mention to anyone about it, only her mother knew about it.


    Currently, it has been a struggle for her to see other people doing so well, while so much hate was directed towards her. And now, she was beginning to think why she couldn''t get up there, and why no wanted to be her friend.


    Recently, there were rumors and pictures of FangSu and Zhang Junjie on the inte, and rumors had it that they were dating. Seeing this news was all it took for Bai Jun''s head to spark, and so she began to plot against how to ruin FangSu.


    FangSu was the one that reported her to the Fu family, and her family forced her to get married, so she couldn''t stand there and watch FangSu doing so well, while things went downhill for her.


    FangSu who was currently being talked about on the inte regarding the dating rumors, just came back homete in the evening only to be called to the room by her mother.


    "What''s your rtionship with Zhang Junjie?." Fu Hee asked with furrowed brows.


    "JunJie? We are good friends. Don''t mind the rumors going around." FangSu replied in a worry-free tone.


    "How can he just be a friend when a picture of you two holding hands surfaced online?." Fu Hee inquired further. She didn''t believe that her daughter was just friends with the Zhang guy, and wanted to hear the truth.


    FangSu got tired of her questions and said, "Mum do you want me to lie to you? I am not his girlfriend, he hasn''t asked me out yet, so we are just good friends."


    "Is he good to you?." Fu Hee asked as her tone softened.


    "Of course, he is very good to me. I wouldn''t be good friends with him if he didn''t treat me well." FangSu replied with a smile. Recalling the moments she has spent with Zhang Junjie so far, she liked him more as he has been very good to her.


    Fu Hee seemed to have calmed down a little. "It''s good that he treats you well, but you will have to answer to your grandfather and exin things to him. He doesn''t seem to be happy seeing that picture of the inte."


    "I know, it will be easy to speak to grandfather, he will understand me," FangSu said in a confident tone, but Fu Hee burst her bubbles.


    "Where is your confidenceing from? Don''t forget that you are no longer the old man''s favorite."


    FangSu sighed and replied, "I know, he loves Da Xia more, that shouldn''t be a problem. I just have to bribe him by using Da Xia."


    "You want to use my grandchild to get what you want? How dare you think about that!." Fu Hee said as she hit her back before she managed to escape from her.


    "Mum, why are you so angry? It''s not like I''m going to do anything bad. I just have to hold Da Xia in my arms and go to his study to see him. He wouldn''t have the heart to scold me seeing that cute little bun in my arms." FangSu said with a big smile.


    Fu Hee totally gave up on her. "Just leave my bedroom."


    FangSu did what she said. She found Jasmine watching a cartoon with her nanny and two other servants by her side, and decided to bribe her with a lollipop ????


    Because she has been deceived by her before, the little bun didn''t immediately follow her. She first nced at the red color lollipop in her hand, before looking up at her.


    "Da Xia, what are you waiting for? Come over, and I will give you the lollipop and take you to grandfather, but you can''t tell your mum or your father about it, otherwise, I will be in trouble." FangSu said as she beckoned on the little girl.


    Jasmine nced at the red lollipop again, and slowly put her fingers in her mouth. She was interested in it, but sue didn''t trust FangSu anymore.


    "Miss, you can''t give the little miss any lollipop, she is too young to taste it." Mrs. Zu said from the side.


    "Who said I''m going to give it to her?." FangSu said in a low tone so that Jasmine wouldn''t listen to her. Mrs. Zu rxed after getting an assurance from her.


    Seeing that the little bun was hesitating, FangSu cane to her side and picked her up in her arms, and walked away.


    When they got to a ce no one was watching, FangSu let the little bun have the lollipop to get a taste.


    Jasmine didn''t need any assistance with the pop, she took it from FangSu, and touched the red part with her other hand. Next, she waved the sweet in her hand and babbled excitedly.


    "It''s good that you don''t know you can put it in your mouth," FangSu said and sighed in relief.


    When FangSu brought the little bun into Grandfather Fu''s study, Butler Lu happily showed her to the couch.


    Grandfather Fu was happy to see his great-granddaughter and immediately left his desk and went to FangSu''s side.


    Seeing how interested her grandfather was in the little bun''s presence, FangSu gobbled up that opportunity.


    "Grandfather, don''t mind the rumors going on the inte, I''m not dating Junjie, we are just friends. But when something serious is going on, you will be the first to know."


    Grandfather Fu had wanted to give her a good scolding, but he relented and ended up telling her off in a gentle tone.


    "Don''t tarnish our family image, be careful!." Grandfather Fu said to her before moving his gaze to the little bun who had something in her mouth.


    "What is Da Xia eating?." The old man asked with creased brows.


    At first, FangSu was a little confused until she nced at the little bun in her arms who was busy licking the lollipop in her hands. FangSu was shocked as she speedily snatched the lollipop from her.


    Her quick actions frightened the little bun, and she started to very when she realized that the sweet thing she was enjoying a moment ago was gone.


    "Who gave the lollipop to her?." Grandfather Fu asked with a fierce gaze.. At this moment, he resembled Fu Hua when he was angry.

 Chapter 415 - Friends? I Dont Need Them

    <h4>Chapter 415 - Friends? I Don''t Need Them</h4>


    FangSu was scared of getting scolded and immediately got up with the little bun in her arms.


    "Grandfather, I''m sorry, we need to leave now."


    Before the old man could react, FangSu had already run away with the little bun. After escaping from her grandfather, FangSu gave the little bun an unwrapped lollipop to y with, in other to cate her.


    When Jia Li saw her daughter''s red lips and tongue, she pinched the little bun''s cheeks and asked her what she has been eating.


    "Jasmine, what did you eat?." Jia Li asked with a frown.


    "Madam, I think Miss FangSu gave her lollipop." Mrs. Zu said from the side. She shouldn''t have trusted FangSu for a bit.


    "Lollipop?." Jia Li asked before ncing at the little bun in her arms who was busy licking the unopened lollipop in her hand.


    Jia Li decided to snatch it from her while saying, "Day Xia you can''t eat that". But the little bun started crying and reached out to snatch the lollipop from her hand before she calmed down.


    Jia Li tried giving the little bun milk, but she refused as her interest was solely on the lollipop she was ying with.


    Jia Li didn''t want to let her have it, so she turned on a baby song on the Tv and ced Jasmine on the floor so she could watch it. Slowly, the little bun''s interest was divided andter, when she was lost while pping her hands and babbling along, Jia Li stole her sweet and escaped unnoticed.


    When the little bun remembered her sweet and turned around to take it, she didn''t find it again. The little bun was surprised for a bit before getting on her hands and knees to crawl around in search of it, but she didn''t find it. In the end, she gave up and moved her attention back to the TV.


    As hours turned to days, it came to the day the young people of the social ss decided to meet up at the club to drink, dance, and have fun. This was FangSu''s social circle, and so she participated in the event since she wasn''t busy. Zhang Junjie told her beforehand that he would be out of the city for a few days, so he wouldn''t be joining them.


    When everyone turned that there was no one left, Bai Jun surprised them with her appearance.


    "What the hell is she doing here?." Ah Lam asked with a deep frown.


    "I think I should be the one asking that question?." FangSu said with her gaze on Bai Jun who was taking her time to walk up to them.


    "We already know that she has a thick face, and would definitely show up, and besides she is still on our group chat," MingXia said with a disgusted look.


    "I can''t stand her shamelessness, I''m going to remove her from the group right now." Another person said and immediately took out her phone.


    Atst, Bai Jun appeared before them with a big smile on her face.


    "As expected of the shameless one to appear where she is not weed." mind is said as she looked away.


    Bai Jun heard her clearly and smiled, "You are thinking too much. I didn''te here to join in your meaningless conversation. I have been here for almost 20 minutes now, having fun without any of you. I just came to see how you girls have been holding up."


    "Shouldn''t we be the ones worrying about you? I mean getting married to someone you don''t even like, is enough to tell that you are living an ugly life." FangSu said to her.


    "A life without friends must be a terrible one for you." Ah Lam chipped in.


    Bai Jun chuckled and replied, "Friends, I don''t need them, especially people of your kind. Anyway, I just came to inform you all to enjoy tonight."


    "You should enjoy your night alone." One of them retorted, and Bai Jun smiled and walked away. She didn''t have to exin anymore to them.


    "What a bitch, always showing off!." One of the cursed.


    "There is no need to mind her, let''s make our order," FangSu said with a smile.


    Ah Lam called a waiter over, and everyone ced their drink orders and chatted happily while waiting for it.


    Bai Jun saw the waiter the called over and followed him slowly after he left their table. Now, Bai Jun had a big bottle of thedies'' favorite drink in her hand as she approached the waiter who was currently cing a drink order and waiting to collect it from the bartender.


    Immediately the waiter received the same drink Bai Jun had in her hand and put it on the trolley, Baj Jun pretended to miss a step, and the phone in her hand slipped and fell beside the waiter.


    The waiter was scared that he had caused an ident because big shots and people from prominent families usually came to their club, and he was afraid of offending anybody.


    Immediately the waiter finished apologizing to her, and lowered his back to pick up her phone, Bai Jun switched the drink.


    "Miss I''m so sorry, your phone didn''t crack." The waiter said in a nervous tone as he handed the phone back to Bai Jun.


    Bai Jun took it from him and feigned anger. "If it was my drink that fell, I would have closed down this club."


    The waiter was frightened by the threat and immediately apologized again before Bai Jun allowed him to leave.


    There was a big smile on Bai Jun''s face at her sess in switching the drink. "Now, all I need to do is just to sit, wait and watch." Bai Jun said to herself as a smirk turned up on her lips.


    When their drink order arrived, the girls immediately cheered up and watched as the waiter popped open the drink and poured a little quantity into their sses.


    "Cheers!." The girls said as they clinked nces before drinking from it.


    In one of the rooms upstairs, Fu Meixu was present with herpany''s director and other big celebrities including Zhi Ruo.


    The director decided to take them out for drinks and to thank them for their hard work.


    "...thank you for your hard work, and hope you will continue to put in more effort." The director said with a proud smile.


    "Director, you are wrong, there is someone here who doesn''t work hard anymore, so I don''t think she should be here in the first ce.." Fu Meixu said with a smiling gaze on Zhi Ruo.

 Chapter 416 - But I Dare To Mess With You.

    <h4>Chapter 416 - But I Dare To Mess With You.</h4>


    Zhi Ruo rolled her eyes at her and asked, "And who could that be if I may ask?."


    "Do I need to spell it out for you, Senior?." Fu Meixu said in a mocking tone.


    "What do you mean?." Zhi Ruo asked in an annoyed tone as she didn''t want to believe that Meixu was referring to her.


    Fu Meixu ignore her and picked up a ss to drink from it. Her silence already revealed her response.


    Before a fight could start, the director lifted his ss and said to them, "Everyone has worked hard since they joined this agency. Don''t ck off, let''s bring more deals for thepany."


    Fu Meixu had just put her cup down when her assistant walked in and went to her side to whisper something to her ear. Instantly, Fu Meixu''s gaze changed as she asked with widened brows, "What?!"


    Her assistant nodded with a worried gaze to show her concern, so Fu Meixu had no choice but to take permission to leave.


    "It looks like you have an emergency, you can leave." The director said as he waved her off.


    "Thank you." Fu Meixu said with a slight bow and picked up her bag to leave with her assistant.


    There was no way that Fu Meixu could sit tight after learning that her cousin, FangSu who was in the same building as her, was dancing with random guys. That could appear on the news tomorrow, and be a taint to their family''s image.


    And another thing is that she was nominated for an award, and would be attending the film festival, at the end of the month, and that kind of scandal would ruin her reputation too.


    "I can''t believe this girl is out to ruin everybody. I thought she liked Zhang Junjie?." Fu Meixu asked angrily as she walked down the stairs.


    Her assistant looked more worried as she followed behind her. "Where did you see her?." Fu Meixu asked. They had juste downstairs. And looking around, she saw how crowded it was and knew it would be difficult to find FangSu.


    "I saw her at that ce." Her assistant pointed at somewhere that was not really in the limelight, and Fu Meixu immediately stepped forward to go look for her.


    When Fu Meixu approached the ce that her assistant pointed out to her, she stood at a ce and searched around with her eyes. Luckily, she found FangSu, but the scene before her was rming.


    FangSu was dancing sexily with a random guy while calling, him, ''Brother Junjie''. Fu Meixu almost went crazy as she angrily walked over and yanked FangSu away from the random guy.


    "Hey! What''s wrong with you?." The random guy asked after Fu Meixu dragged FangSu away from him.


    "Don''t you know who she is, how dare you try to get close to her?." Fu Meixu asked angrily while holding onto the fussy FangSu.


    The random guy didn''t want to get in trouble after he recognized Fu Meixu, so he said this before walking away. "I did the do anything wrong, she approached me first."


    Bai Jun who has been sitting in one corner and capturing all of FangSu''s crazy moments got up to leave after the random guy left.


    "I want my brother Junjie! who are you!." FangSu asked while trying to push Fu Meixu away?


    Fu Meixu got so angry that she pped FangSu on her cheek. Thanks to the loud music, only a few people nced over at them.


    "If you still love yourself, shut up your damm mouth!." Fu Meixu scolded before looking around, and that was when her eyes caught sight of the familiar figure of Bai Jun walking towards the exit with a smile and her phone in hand.


    Normally, nothing is supposed to be wrong if Bai Jun came to this kind of ce, but given the amenity between Bai Jun and FangSu, it was right for Fu Meixu to think that something was wrong.


    "You hold her and take her to my car." Fu Meixu I instructed her assistant who took over immediately.


    "Wait for me in the car." Fu Meixu said before walking away.


    Because her eyes were searching everywhere, Fu Meixu was opportune to catch a glimpse of FangSu''s friends dancing widely on stage and in the spotlight, and a few people were recording them.


    Now, Fu Meixu was clear that Bai Jun had a hand in this, and things could get out of hand if the situation was not managed, but it was toote.


    First things first, she needed to get a hold of Bai Jun, and so went out of the building in search of Bai Jun.


    Two minutester, Bai Jun was standing in a secluded ce and answering a phone call. Her tone sounded happy.


    "...yes mum, I spiked their drinks and recorded a few of their video, but most especially, FangSu. I have an exclusive one of her because she chose to go to a different area where no one was watching. I almost lost my mind, but it''s good that I got something on her."


    "You did well, you can send the videos out immediately, I''m sure no news agency would reject such juicy news." Bai Fen said in excitement. She was happy that her daughter has seeded in taking revenge on the people that hurt her daughter.


    "Tomorrow, the Inte will be on fire. These prominent families will lose a lot ofpany shares, and their daughter''s reputation ruined." Fu Meixu said with a chuckle.


    "That''s good. Jun, I have to go now your father ising, I will call you backter." Bai Fen said and ended the call immediately.


    Bai Jun smiled as she nced at her phone with a smile. Thinking of the material she had that could ruin the lives and careers of Fu Meixu and their friends from the same social circle, Bai Jun felt proud for teaching them a lesson.


    "FangSu, this will be a lesson to you and those lousy bitches. No one dares to mess with me." Bai Jun said with a wicked smile.


    "But I dare to mess with you!." Fu Meixu said from behind with an ugly facial expression.


    Bai Jun was shocked to hear the voice behind her. She didn''t turn around immediately, instead, she slowly looked up from her phone to see the shadow of the person that was behind her, before slowly turning around to see the angry Fu Meixu standing behind her.


    Bai Jun almost had a fright as she thought, ''She saw me when I was leaving?''

 Chapter 417 - A Punch

    <h4>Chapter 417 - A Punch</h4>


    "So you set this whole thing up by yourself? Why don''t you learn lessons?." Fu Meixu asked with a frown.


    "I don''t understand, what do you mean?." Bai Jun was trying to y safe as she wasn''t sure of how much Meixu heard and knew.


    "Are you trying to feign ignorance? I heard everything you said to your mother just now. You dared to drug thedies from prominent families, are you tired of living?." Fu Meixu asked. She has never met someone as reckless as Bai Jun. Thedy was so stubborn that she didn''t seem to learn from all the lessons she has been thought.


    Now that she has confirmed that Meixu knew everything, there was no need to hide anything from her, so Bai Jun just cane clean.


    "And so what if you are right, what can you do to me? You don''t have any evidence to prove that I did that, and there are no cameras here to pick up the video, or my voice." Bai Jun said in a confident tone.


    She was very sure that Fu Meixu didn''t record when she was speaking with her mother, so she was very confident.


    Fu Meixu could not ept the fact that Bai Jun still had much confidence left. She immediately delivered a punch to her face.


    "What the f**k!" Bai Jun screamed in pain as she fell to the rough ground with her hand holding her bleeding nose.


    "Thank you for reminding me that there are no cameras here." Fu Meixu said as she moved her fingers about. The force she used to punch Bai Jun, caused her to dislocate 2 finger bones (phnges).


    "You bitch! Did you just hit my nose?!" Bai Jun screamed with her hand still holding her nose. She was in too much pain that she couldn''t help screaming at Fu Meixu.


    She never knew that Fu Meixu would be so fast in delivering a punch, and she didn''t see thating.


    "Not only did I punch your nose, but you will need to get your nose fixed because I made sure to break your bone, thanks to the martial arts I''m currently training on, for my new movie." Fu Meixu replied with a smile.


    "You bitch! I will sue you for assault. You dare to break my nose?!." Bai Jun screamed angrily. If she wasn''t still in pain she would have loved to return the same favor to Fu Meixu.


    "I dare you to call me a bitch one more time and see if I won''t ruin your face. After all, there are no cameras here, and you don''t have any evidence." Fu Meixu said in a low tone as a kind reminder before bending to pick up Bai Jun''s that was lying on the ground.


    Now, Bai Jun could only shout in pain while holding her nose and watching Fu Meixu remove her sim card from her phone.


    "I can''t stop myself from being lenient with you, so I will leave your sim card with me. As for your phone, I will help you get rid of it, least your fall into another temptation of releasing the videos in your custody." FangSu said as she threw the sim card on Bai Jun''s body.


    "Fu Meixu, I promise you that you will pay for what you did to me today!." Bai Jun swore angrily. How could she allow the person that discovered her to live freely? Just now, she could feel something warm streaming down her nose, and she didn''t need to confirm that it was blood.


    "Now let me warn you, I am not FangSu or just anybody, I am used to getting rid of people that stand in my way, and that''s the reason I am so sessful in the entertainment industry. Nobody dares me and goes freely, even the slightest sin against me will always be returned in triple folds, so now I warn you. If you love your mother so much, you better stay in yourne. But if you feel that she has overstayed her wee in the Bai family, you can go ahead and try me and see what I can do."


    After threatening her, Fu Meixu turned to walk away, but then she remembered something and turned to nce at her again.


    "Lest I forget, if any video of my cousin appears online, you will have to forgive me because I will be forced to fulfill my promise to you sooner."


    After saying that, Fu Meixu walked away without looking back.


    Bai Jun cursed out loud, but the pain she felt in her nose, brought her back to reality. First things first, she had to go to the hospital immediately.


    Never in Bai Jun''s life would she have guessed that Fu Meixu could be so violent. This was a new experience for her, and never again would she dare to cross paths with her.


    After dealing with Bai Jun, Fu Meixu went to the ce we parked her car to meet her assistant and the drunk FangSu.


    "Miss, where are we going to?." The assistant asked as Fu Meixu ignited the car engine and drive away from the club.


    "To my condominium." Fu Meixu replied and increased her speed.


    On the way to her condominium, Fu Meixu phones the manager of the club and gave him a sentence filled with warnings.


    "If you don''t want your club to be shut down, which there is already a high chance of that, you had better find a way to send those misses back to their various homes and stop people from taking videos of them, because their drinks were spiked under your watch!."


    The club manager was scared and immediately ordered for the music to be shut down and asked the people that recorded the videos of the young misses misbehaving, to delete the videos before leaving.


    After pleading with them, the manager immediately got people to send those Misses back home.


    Most of the people that recorded the video, deleted it, while the rest refused to listen, and there was nothing the manager could do to those people because he couldn''t force them.


    All through the night, the manager called the security team to check the CCTV cameras in the club to find out how the drink was spiked, but there was no evidence to convict Bai Jun of the crime because no camera caught her exchanging the drinks. There was really no evidence.


    On the other hand, Fu Meixu called home and reported that FangSu was with her so there wouldn''t be a need to worry about her.

 Chapter 418 - Repercussion

    <h4>Chapter 418 - Repercussion</h4>


    That same night, Fu Meixu invited a doctor over to her condominium, who came to check on FangSu, and from the test conducted with FangSu''s blood sample, it was discovered that Bai Jun put a hallucinogenic drug into their drink.


    As for Bai Jun, she was currently at the hospital. Her face was swollen, especially in the nose area. The doctor who came to check on her left a few minutes ago after telling her that she would have to undergo surgery after a few days, and till then, she needed to rest at the hospital.


    For the kind of injury Bai Jun sustained from the punch, it was either a rhinosty, which is a surgery to realign the nose was performed or a septorhinosty, which is a surgery to repair the nasal septum is performed.


    The reason is this... Closed reduction, rhinosty, and septorhinosty aren''t usually performed until 3 to 10 days after the injury after the swelling goes down.


    Now, Bai Jun has to take about 2 weeks'' leave from work because of her injury and to recover from the surgery.


    Being in this kind of ugly situation filled with pain and anguish, Bai Jun cursed about it until her mother arrived, and that was when she started crying.


    Bai Fen was angry to see her daughter in that state and almost left to go confront Fu Meixu if not that Bai Jun stopped her.


    When Bai Fen heard the full gist of what happened, she was so angry that their n failed because of another member of the Fu family who was also the person that inflicted pain on her daughter, and not only that, she damaged her daughter''s face as well.


    "Jun, I can no longer allow you to suffer, I have had enough of this! We keep losing, and you keep suffering from the repercussion, I can''t take it anymore. I want you to end whatever feelings you have for Fu Hua and concentrate on recovery. Look at the state you have been reduced to. You are now being bullied by just anyone! Since when can the daughter of the Bai family be a subject of ridicule." Bai Fen said.


    Bai Jun was too pained to respond to her. She was deeply thinking about the bullying, pain, suffering, and humiliation she has been through since everyone found out about her love for Fu Hua who was already married.


    At least if Fu Hua was willing to pay attention, she wouldn''t mind suffering if she gets his attention, but no, none of that happened. He doesn''t spare her a nce, and he has never cared about her.


    Bai Fen talked for so long, and the conclusion came out like this... She wanted Bai Jun to take her mind off Fu Hua and concentrate on herself while waiting for the perfect day to get revenge on the entire Fu Family because she believed that they were responsible for every negative situation she has ever been through.


    Bai Juny on the bed and cried silently as hate for Fu Hua was starting to slowly build up in her. She was starting to hate him for not caring about her.


    The next morning, FangSu woke up veryter with a big headache. She could feel her head pound as she made small movements to sit up.


    "Aish! My head hurts so badly." FangSu said with her hands on her head. A bitter expression was visible on her face.


    "I think it should hurt more." Fu Meixu said with folded arms.


    FangSu stopped with herints and nce upwards only to see her cousin staring at her with a smile that was not a smile, and these words escaped from her lips, "What are you doing here?."


    Fu Meixu chuckled bitterly and asked, "What am I doing here?." Seeing how sluggish FangSu was being, she added, "Look where you are before asking that useless question. You are in my house."


    "In your house?." FangSu asked in surprise as she looked around the bedroom she found herself in and discovered how unfamiliar it was. Having discovered that she has never seen or been in this ce before now, she figured out that she must be in her cousin''s condominium.


    "What are my doing here?." FangSu asked as she ced her hands back on her head again with a frown.


    "Good question. I think it will be hard for your chicken brain to recallst night''s events. Well, your friends are being roasted out there, while you the sleeping beauty are sleeping without worries. I must say how fortunate you are to have me in your life." Fu Meixu said as she pped her hands.


    "What happened to my friends? What happenedst night?." FangSu asked in a panicked tone. She was now worried about her friends and thinking about what must have happened the previous night.


    "When you see the news, you will find out. First, you should take the pills on the nightstand and finish the ss of water ande out for some porridge." Fu Meixu said before walking out of the room.


    FangSu nced at the ss of water and the pills on the nightstand while thinking what kind of trouble her friends might havended in for it to be on the news.


    As she attempted to get off the to search for her phone and to check on the news, she felt her head hurt a lot, so she had no choice but to heed her cousin''s advice of taking the pills on the nightstand.


    A few momentster, FangSu felt better after taking the pills and went out to look for Fu Meixu who was already sitting in the sitting room and waiting for her to step out.


    "Can you tell me what happenedst night and how I came here?." FangSu asked in creased brows. She was still feeling a little weak and ufortable, so she found herself a ce to sit.


    "Eat first, that is an instruction from me. You won''t know anything if I don''t allow you, because your phone is with me. But if you want to leave, then I will have to tell the family aboutst night''s real situation." Fu Meixu threatened.


    FangSu stared hard at her as she thought of what kind of dangerous situation she must have gotten intost night.

 Chapter 419 - Grandfather Fu Sends For FangSu

    <h4>Chapter 419 - Grandfather Fu Sends For FangSu</h4>


    "I''m thinking we should set up a yground for Jasmine before she turns 1. That would really be an exciting experience for her." Jia Li suggested with her gaze on Fu Hua.


    Fu Hua was changing Jasmine''s diaper, but it looks like he was having a hard time as the little bun wouldn''t stay put. At a point, he thought of caging her hands, so she wouldn''t move about. But all he did was to think about it, he never carried it out. Instead of waiting for the little bun to move about, he handed her the fascinating toy she has been trying to reach, so she can stay put.


    Jasmine didn''t disappoint to put the toy in her mouth. Fu Hua got a hold of the situation and managed to finish changing her diapers quickly.


    "It''s not a bad idea. We are in spring, we can set up a lot of things so she can have lots of fun in our absence." Fu Hua said in agreement as he lifted the little bun in his arms with a smile.


    "I saw a swing suitable for a few months old, I think we should get that one first, what do you think?." Jia Li said in excitement.


    "Let''s go shopping." Fu Hua said, and so, the family of three left for the huge shopping mall in disguise (a pair of sun shades and masks).


    Jia Li did not just shop for a baby swing, she got lots of fascinating toys for Jasmine that will help in her daily activities.


    Fu Hua picked up a few storybooks, building blocks, and some other fun games that will be good for Jasmine''s development.


    All Jasmine had to do was rx in her stroller while her parents shopped for her. Most times, Jia Li would show her the beautiful things she picked up, and the little bun would babble and move her hands and feet out of excrement. But Jia Li did not let her touch them, as she thought of how germs could be on them.


    From the toy section, Fu Hua suggested they shopped for some clothes, and so, the family of three went to the clothing section to pick lots of outfits for the little bun.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua spent more than an hour in the clothing section before taking the little bun home.


    Jasmine was already asleep when they got home. Fu Hua took her straight to her crib toy her down, while Jia Li went to the kitchen to get freshly squeezed juice.


    Walking into the kitchen, she saw Fu Hee there, and she immediately walked up to her with a smile. "Mum"


    Fu Hee heard her voice and nced at her with a smile. "Are you back? Did you get a lot of fun things for Da Xia?."


    "Yes, we did. Mum, have you heard from FangSu or Meixu?." Jia Li inquired. This morning, it was on the news that FangSu''s friends shamed themselves and their families in the club by dancing with random people and doubt crazy things. And ording to a witness, FangSu was present, but no evidence could prove that.


    "The two of them are together. Their grandfather has asked them toe back home and exin things to him, so they will be around before dinner time." Fu Hee exined.


    "Oh..." Jia Li said trailing off. She was curious as to what went wrong at the clubst night.


    Just as Fu Hee said, FangSu and Meixu came before dinner time. Fu Meixu seemed to be the only one in a good mood, while FangSu had an ugly expression on her face.


    After breakfast, Meixu had broken the news to her, and she couldn''t believe the fact that Bai Jun could pull off that trick just to taint their reputation.


    FangSu cursed and talked about suing Bai Jun for what she did to them.


    "... I will let everyone know the kind of devil that is living amongst men!."


    "Where is your evidence. Which evidence do you have that can convict her of the crime?." Fu Meixu asked.


    "Don''t you have one?." FangSu asked with a frown.


    Fu Meixu rolled her eyes at her and said, "I don''t have any evidence, and the video of you in her phone, can not prove that she was the one that harmed you."


    "Still, I can''t take this lying down. How can that bitch get away with this?" FangSu asked angrily. She couldn''t ept the fact that Baj Jun was doubt okay why her friends suffered.


    "It would be best if you stay put and not do anything. Your dearest best friend would have to spend at least 2 weeks in the hospital to fix and recuperate from her broken nose." Fu Meixu revealed.


    FangSu sighed as she sat on the couch, "That is just a little thing. I wish I can get ahold of her phone and see what''s inside there that can put her in big trouble."


    "Too bad that she has a lock for everything. What a secretive person she is. But even if we see something, it would be her confessions of love to Brother Hua, and if it gets out, it will ruin her reputation, but it won''t also look good on Brother Hua, because that is embarrassing." Fu Meixu analyzed.


    "That ipetent fool!." FangSu cursed.


    "She is not ipetent. She almost got you in a real shit, you should be thanking me for saving your careless ass. Anyways, Bai Jun can''t tell the truth to anyone, of she still loves her life, so she would have to suffer alone till she recovers." Fu Meixu said.


    Bai Jun wouldn''t dare to tell anyone the truth of how she got a broken nose apart from her mother, because there was no evidence. And if she revealed that Fu Meixu was the one that put her in that situation, thetter will expose her dirty ns too.


    Now back to the Fu house, Butler Lu came to inform her toe to the old man''s study for interrogation. Bai Jun was scared of her grandfather scolding her and nced at Fu Meixu for help, but thetter seemed not to care about the situation.


    "Don''t look at me. Go in there, and make sure to use your brain." That was all Fu Meixu said before walking away.


    FangSu had no choice but to follow Butler Lu to Grandfather Fu''s study.

 Chapter 420 - No Matter What Happens

    <h4>Chapter 420 - No Matter What Happens</h4>


    All FangSu said, was that she truly went to the club with her friends, but she met Meixu who was there coincidentally, and left with her early and didn''t know what happened after that, so she didn''t get into any trouble with Grandfather Fu.


    As for the girls whose reputation was going down the drain, couldn''t exin to their families what happened at the club.


    In other to vent their anger, their families punished them by sending some of them out for Masters abroad, locking them up in the house, cutting off their financial aids. As for the club, they shut it down.


    Bai Jun and her mother lied to their Bai family about what truly happened to her. Bai Jun said she had a little ident and fell on her face. Her grandmother was so worried about her that she stayed with her in the hospital to look after her.


    Bai Fen thought that this was the perfect opportunity to make a suggestion since the olddy was emotional about seeing her only granddaughter in that state, but the other daughters-inw blocked it off.


    "Mum, Jun is suffering so much, why don''t we bring her home to recuperate after the surgery?."


    "That is wrong. Jun is no longer a full-time member of our family, and she can''te to stay with us when she is married into another family." The first daughter-inw said.


    "You can''t say that, this situation is different, and I''m worried about her not being well taken care of over there." Bai Fen said with a frown.


    "Can you repeat these words in the presence of the Yang family?." The first daughter-inw asked.


    "Of course I can repeat them, do I look like I''m scared of them? Every mother has the right to be concerned about their children." Bai Fen said.


    She didn''t care if her words were polite or rude, and she doesn''t care about the Yang family''s feelings, because to her, they were not equal to them.


    The third daughter-inw said, "Well if you care about Bai Jun so much and are worried that she won''t be well looked after by her husband and his family, you can go over to the Yang family to make sure they treat her properly."


    "Are you kidding me?." Bai Fen asked with a deep frown.


    "Do I look like I''m joking?." The third daughter-inw asked while rolling her eyes.


    Finally, the olddy broke the fight. "Enough! No matter how bad I feel for Jun, she can''te home with us. She is married, and if news gets out about her ident and shees over to the house, her reputation, the Yang family, and our family will be at stake. People would think she was maltreated by the Yang family."


    Bai Fen was angry with the Old Lady''s words, so she asked, "Mum, which is more important, our family reputation or your granddaughter''s happiness?."


    "Bai Fen, don''t question me. Jun can note back home with us, but I will make sure she is treated by the best doctor and well taken care of in the Yang family." Old Mrs. Bai said with a frown.


    No matter what happens, Bai Jun can note back to the Bai family when she is still married. The olddy now cared about their family''s reputation more than emotions.


    Bai Jun who they were debating about, was sleeping, but not peaceful because of the pain in her nose. It was not a good thing to sleep while being ufortable.


    The next day when Bai Jun woke up, the first thing she did was to take 2 weeks'' leave from work due to the ident. And right after breakfast, the Yang family visited, but Yang Peng was absent with the excuse that he was busy with work. He didn''t care about her, so why should he visit her?


    When Bai Fen heard the silly excuse that didn''t make any meaning to her, she was very angry as that was a big insult to her daughter and their family. But because of the olddy''s presence, she couldn''t retaliate or scold them.


    The next day being Monday, Bai Jun''s colleagues do not see her at work, and they learn that she got into an ident and took 2 weeks from work.


    "Is she finally getting her retribution?." Mari¨¦ asked with a smile.


    "It seems like it. I just hope she spends a longer time recovery because find it hard not to get annoyed when I see her face." One of them said in an annoyed tone


    "She sure chose a particr time to be absent from work, I guess she is still suffering emotionally after being on probation." Another said and chuckled loudly.


    "Is she the only one who was put on probation? I get it that it hurts to fail, but think that in her case, she deserves it because her heart is too dark for good things to locate her." Another person said without a care


    "Okay, enough talks about her, I''m getting annoyed already," Linda said with a frown.


    If only Bai Jun can see how much she is hated by her colleague, then maybe, she will rethink her whole existence, but it looks like she doesn''t mind.


    Around the third week of April, Feng Alix got married in grand style to her old lover. Her wedding pictures were all over social media, and because she was very popr before her downfall, a lot of people had an interest in her.


    Getting married to an older man is not wrong, but the intentions behind it, because love doesn''t mind age, tribe, or Nationality, but it is, a matter of the heart.


    Because she was well-loved by her old lover who already had grandkids, avish wedding was thrown for her, much to the anger of her lover''s family.


    Before getting married to Feng Alix, the elderly man''s family rejected his idea of getting married to her. They agreed that she can be his girlfriend, but his wife, but the man didn''t listen to them, and went ahead to do what was in his heart.


    Feng Alix was hated by her lover''s family, but she didn''t seem to mind as she was with him for his money and connections.

 Chapter 421 - Fu Hua And The Little Bun

    <h4>Chapter 421 - Fu Hua And The Little Bun</h4>


    A day after her wedding, Feng Alix announced on her social media pages, that she would be spending her 2 weeks honeymoon in China.


    It''s been more than a year since Feng Alix left China, and now, she wasing back to spend 2 weeks'' honeymoon there, despite the controversies she had before she left.


    The inte was on fire, but no one dared to mention Fu Hua alongside Feng Alix, because they all knew the dire consequences.


    Fu Hua was not interested in the news or his ex, he was only interested in the little girl that was trying to snatch a banana ???? from him.


    "Princess, I can''t give you this, your mother will scold me." Fu Hua said to the little bun that crawled to his side and held him to get to her feet, before stretching her hand out to reach for the banana.


    Jasmine who had her hair tied up in 2 buns, nced at her father and smacked her lips before pointing at the banana and speaking a few words to him.


    "I don''t know what you are saying, but your mother disagrees with you. Your dietician says you can eat them, but your mum is worried about you." Fu Hua said as he hugged the little girl with one arm. He was currently sitting on the floor and looking after her.


    No matter what Fu Hua said, his little princess didn''t agree with him. When she reached out for the banana for the 4th time, and he moved his arms further away, she started crying.


    Fu Hua was not surprised that his little princess would cry since she didn''t get what she wanted. The little bun was a foodie, and his heart hurts whenever she cried.


    "Okay, I will let you have some before mummyes back, okay?." Fu Hua said as he made the little bun sit in front of him before handing the banana to her.


    Jasmine stopped crying immediately and took the banana ???? from her father. Then she spared him a nce before proceeding to put the banana in her mouth.


    This little bun who was 9 months old, and had only two teeth on her lower gum, sure knew how to take a bite from the banana in her hand.


    Fu Hua sighed in relief that she didn''t bite off a big chunk of the banana, or he would have been very worried.


    It was not easy to be with his little princess, but ur was fun as well, as the little girl was a character of her own. Her actions were funny most of the time but can be annoying as well.


    Jasmine chewed on the banana for a little while before swallowing it up. When they one was gone, she bit off another little chunk and chewed on it, while using her other hand to touch the big banana ????


    Fu Hua couldn''t stand her cuteness and took out his phone to record her. The way her small chubby cheeks moved when she chewed the banana, and her facial expression when she was excited, plus the ways she sighed in the end after swallowing the banana in her mouth, Fu Hua got all of them.


    After keeping his phone aside, Fu Hua had a proud smile on his face as he leaned in to kiss the little bun''s cheeks.


    Jasmine thought he wanted some, so she passed the banana to him to have a bite. Fu Hua was touched by her benevolence and kissed her cheeks again, before biting a chunk from the banana.


    "Thank you, princess," Fu Hua said happily. He was really feeling very proud.


    When he leaned in again, Jasmine repeated her actions, and Fu Hua took another small bite.


    The third time, Fu Hua but off a big chunk of the banana, because he was worried about his little girl finishing one finger of banana since the fruit was known to soften the stomach.


    When Jasmine saw the little thing that was left, she nced at her father in shock, she couldn''t believe that he just betrayed her by eating the whole thing. As the little bun watched the movement of his mouth, she stretched her hand out to his mouth and tried to pry it open, but failed.


    Fu Hua couldn''t help chuckling with his mouth closed. He knew his little girl was ready to get the banana out of his mouth if he opened it, so he chose to seal his lips.


    Fu Hua''s actions didn''t seem to sit well with the little bun, as she started crying immediately. She was angry that her father wasughing after biting a huge chunk of her banana.


    Fu Hua still couldn''t stopughing after the little bun started to cry, but as a good father, he apologized to her and tried tofort her, but it didn''t work, so she was forced to threaten her just like the way Jia Li does when he couldn''t deal with her.


    "Princess, if you don''t stop crying, I''m going to eat the remaining piece up." Fu Hua said to the little bun who was crying with her gaze on him.


    Jasmine understood what her father said, but that didn''t stop her from crying, and now, Fu Hua was feeling guilty already as he thought that his threats were harsh, so he decided toe more softly.


    "Princess, can you give daddy some more?." As Fu Hua asked that question, he leaned in to take another bite from the banana, but the little bun moved the banana away before his mouth could touch it.


    "What? You don''t want to give daddy some?" Fu Hua asked with a fake surprised gaze, which seemed to catch the little bun''s attention, because she suddenly stopped crying, but continued gazing at him.


    Fu Hua apologized to the little bun and asked her to eat up the remaining piece of her banana, and she obeyed him, although her heart was still not ddened.


    When Jasmine finished eating the banana, Fu Hua cleaned her hands with the wipes and fed her some water from her cup.


    When the little bun was satisfied, she pushed the cup away and heaved a deep breath.. Fu Hua picked up her bib and cleaned her mouth with it.

    <h4>Chapter 422 - I Will Make It Happen</h4>


    "Princess, are you satisfied now?." Fu Hua asked with a smile as he caressed the little bun''s cheeks. Jasmine licked her lips and pped her hands in response.


    "Alright, I can see you are satisfied. Don''t tell mummy I gave you banana ???? to eat." Fu Hua whispered in a light tone as he lifted the little bun to sit on his thighs.


    Now sittingfortably on her father''s thighs, Jasmine nced at him and smiled while making small noises with her mouth. The little bun seemed to have forgotten that she was betrayed earlier by her father because she was excited again.


    In other to let her rx, Fu Hua turned on the Tv for her, and let her watch her favorite cartoon station. With this, Fu Hua didn''t have to worry about his daughter crying, or throwing a tantrum.


    Several minutester, Jia Li walked into the nursery with a bowl of baby food in her hand, but the sight she saw caused a warm smile to appear on her face.


    Jasmine was lying on her father''s chest sleeping soundly, while the television was still on. As fo Fu Hua, he had his eyes closed until he heard the door open and Jia Li walks in.


    "Are you done working?." Fu Hua asked in a light tone.


    "Yeah. I just made some food for Jasmine after that, but it turns out that she was sleeping already, and you, you look tired." Jia Li said in a soft tone as she approached them with light footsteps.


    "Yeah, I''m tired. it''s boring to watch cartoons." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    "Let''s go to the bedroom." Jia Li suggested, and they left for their bedroom together.


    Back in their bedroom, Fu Hua out the little bun in her crib before going toy on the bed to get some rest. When he turned over, he saw Jia Li about to leave the room, so he asked, "Where are you going to?."


    "I will leave you two to rest, I will go and tidy up the nursery." Jia Li replied in a soft tone.


    "No,e and get some rest, the maids will do that." Fu Hua said as he stretched out his hands to her.


    "But I like to take care of Jasmine''s stuff myself. Don''t worry, I will be back in a few minutes." Jia Li assured him, but Fu Hua didn''t want to listen to her, so she had no choice to go andy in his embrace.


    "It''s been a while since we took afternoon naps together." Fu Hua said as he kisses her forehead.


    "You wanted to get some rest, remember." Jia Li said with a low chuckle. Right now, the little bun was sleeping, so if they mustmunicate, they have to talk softly.


    "I know, but it feels quite good to talk to you." Fu Hua replied in a low husky tone. He was tired, but making small talks with his wife was more important.


    "I know, but you have to rest first. " Jia Li replied as she heaved a sigh and rubbed his arm.


    "If my wife says so." Fu Hua replied as he hugged her and shut his eyes.


    It wasn''t a surprise for the little bun to wake early from her nap. Jia Li immediately woke up after she heard the little girl''s voice. She changed her diapers, before carrying her out to the nursery to feed her and y with her.


    The swing was already set up in the nursery, so Jia Li put her there and pushed her gently. The little bun was still getting used to her swing, so she held onto the ropes tightly with visible excitement on her face.


    Jia Li didn''t have to look after the little bun for long, because Grandfather Fu asked for the little bun to go on a walk with him right outside the house.


    It felt weird for a 9-month-old baby to go on a walk with her great grandfather, but the picture was warm. The old man wanted to take a stroll with her little descendant, and that was picture perfect.


    Grandfather Fu personally pushed Jasmine''s stroller while taking a walk in the garden. Ocean, her pups, and the father of her pups were out, so they apanied the old man and his little descendant.


    Jasmine had fun while on a stroll with the old man. She kept pping and babbling excitedly. When Grandfather was tired, he sat down and let her face him.


    "Da Xia, call me great gramps." Grandfather Fu said to her with a smile. Instead of calling great gramps, the little bun kept bubbling words of her own.


    "Great gramps can see your little efforts, so I will you have some toys." Grandfather Fu said she handed her toy to her, which the little bun took excitedly.


    It was so refreshing to spend time with his little descendant.


    As Feng Alix said that she wasing down to China to spend her honeymoon there, she really did it. She arrived 2 dayster with her husband, and so many escorts followed behind them.


    Feng Alix came to China with a new identity, Mrs. Suarez. After arriving at the same country that cursed and forced her to leave, all she did, was smile while linking hands with her husband.


    Just on the first day of arrival, so many pictures of Feng Alix and her husband were already spreading online, and this act was intentional. Feng Alix wanted to show everyone that she was doing very well, after how poorly they treated her.


    Many people still cursed her and called her a gold digger who was seeking the media''s attention, but no matter what was said about her, Feng Alix didn''t care or bother about it, because the huge money sitting in her bank ount didn''t change.


    "My heart, just tell me anything you want, and where you want to go, I will make it happen. You are my wife now, don''t be shy to ask me of anything." Mr. Suarez said with a big smile.


    "How can I dare to trouble you? I contend that you agreed to let use to this ce to spend our honeymoon." Feng Alix said with a smile.


    "This is your hometown, so why wouldn''t I agree with you? You are not troubling me, just tell me everything you want, and it will be done." Mr.. Suarez with a doting smile.

 Chapter 423 - Making Her Happy

    <h4>Chapter 423 - Making Her Happy</h4>


    Feng Alix pretended to think for a while before whispering a few words to his ears with a smile.


    After leaning away, Mr. Suarez frowned slightly as he asked, "Why do you want to go there, after being treated like that?."


    "That''s because I want to show you off. But it''s okay if you don''t want to go, we can go other ces as well." Feng Alix said with a smile while caressing his jaw.


    "Okay, we will do what you want. We will go there, and also to other brands, so you can pick whatever catches your attention." Mr. Suarez said before leaning in to kiss her cheeks.


    Mr. Suarez truly loved Feng Alix, because it was rare for a young woman like her who had a future, to want to be with an old man like him who already had grandkids.


    Feng Alix was quite excited that he agreed to her requests, and now all that he had to do, was to pick an outfit, get her hair and makeup done after picking a date.


    In this new month of May, Feng Alix and her husband Mr. Suarez visited FJ headquarters to shop for clothes. Alix was almost embarrassed by the staff in FJ, but her assistant stepped forward and said to them...


    "Did your superiors train you to be disrespectful?."


    "Sorry, we can''t let Miss Feng Alix shop here, she has been cklisted by FJ since a long time ago, so I hope you don''t mind my rudeness." The staff said in an apology, but her looks showed nothing like that.


    "This is where you have it wrong. You cklisted Miss Feng Alix, but this is Mrs. Suarez and her husband Mr. Suarez. Do you have an idea of who they are? Can you bear the consequences of offending them? Do you want to get FJ in trouble when this appears on the news?." Alix''s assistant asked in an authoritative tone.


    Feng Alix just stood by the side and linked arms with. She knew this embarrassment would happen, so she was not moved.


    The staff that was scolded was in a dilemma. Because of the gossips, she already looked up Alix''s husband on the inte and saw that he was a business tycoon, and it wouldn''t be right to offend him. And truly, FJ cklisted Feng Alix, but now that she has a new identity, they will have to bend their rules for today.


    The staff nced at her colleagues before saying to Alix''s assistant, "Give me a few minutes." And then walked away with the other, and a minute after that, 2 security tram officers, brought seats for them before turning away.


    When Fu Hua learned that Feng Alix came to shop in FJ headquarters with another identity, he didn''t feel anything. But because of the identity of her husband, he couldn''t ignore them, so he sent Zimo to ry a message to them.


    "No onees to our office to shop, because we don''t have a shopping mall here. But because of your love for our brand, I will show you where you can get all of our products."


    After rying the message from Fu Hua, Zimo stepped aside with a nonchnt gaze, while waiting for Mr. Suarez''s response.


    Feng Alix was disappointed that she was not allowed to shop directly from FJ''s headquarters, but more importantly, Zimo didn''t talk to her or nce at her, he only conveyed Fu Hua''s message to her husband.


    Instead of waiting for her husband to speak, Feng Alix stepped forward with a smile.


    "Mr. Zimo, I must say that I am disappointed. FJ made me drag my husband over here but disappointed us at the end. What about your boss, I''m sure he knows my husband well and should havee to ry this unfortunate message directly because this is disrespectful."


    "Honey it''s okay, we will go to another ce to shop, and there you can pick everything you want." Mr. Suarez said while patting the back of Alix''s hand, before turning to speak to Zimo...


    "Tell Mr. Fu Hua that I appreciate his hospitality."


    Zimo bowed slightly in response before personally walking them to their cars. When he returned to Fu Hua''s office to give him feedback, Fu Hua didn''t look interested and didn''t want to know the oue of the conversation.


    In the car, Mr. Suarez felt bad that his beloved wife wasn''t able to shop directly from FJ Styles headquarters, so he squeezed her palms andforted her. Feng Alix smiled and said that she didn''t feel bad, instead, she felt bad for dragging him there.


    "There is no need to apologize. Let''s go to the mall to get FJ''s brand of clothes since you like them a lot, or do you have another idea?." Mr. Suarez asked.


    Feng Alix who was already pained, because of what Fu Hua did, didn''t want to shop for FJ''s products again. Now, what was going on in her head, was on how to retaliate for Fu Hua''s embarrassment.


    Holding her husband''s hands, she said to him with a smile, "I know of another brand that is not proud like FJ, they are popr just here in China, but their outfits are nice and love to pay them a visit."


    "Really? Then let''s go. Today will be all about making you happy." Mr. Suarez said with a smile.


    In other to make his wife happy, he took her to the headquarters of the fashion brand she talked about, U&ME.


    Unlike FJ who didn''t care about Feng Alix''s new identity now, and didn''t want to have anything to do with her, U&ME was different. They received Feng Alix and her husband and treated them like VIPs.


    The difference between FJ Styles and U&ME is that the former was an International brand, while thetter was a local brand, which had a few branches in the country. But apart from that, both fashion brands were very good.


    Feng Alix and her husband were treated very well and were also toured around the creative arts department by the owner of the brand, who was a young man like Fu Hua.


    Before touring, the brand owner, took permission from Alix to film, which she agreed on because she knew it was going to appear on the TV, in magazines, and in newspapers, and she wanted Fu Hua to see it.

 Chapter 424 - U&ME Fashion Brand

    <h4>Chapter 424 - U&ME Fashion Brand</h4>


    Feng Alix has been a public figure and been in the limelight for years, so she understood how the media worked. It doesn''t matter if you are loved or hated, as long as you are being followed, you can easily draw the media''s attention to you.


    This was what Feng Alix knew, and she always took advantage of it. Whatever she does would trend, because she knew how to bring the media''s attention to her.


    The next day, news had it that Feng Alix visited the U&ME Brand with her husband, and she was toured around. The news was confirmed when U&ME released the video they took when Alix and her husband were touring.


    There was also a rumor of future business coboration with U&ME, but this particr rumor was neither epted nor declined, so the public didn''t know what to believe.


    With Feng Alix stirring things up, she sessfully brought U&ME to the limelight and made them popr.


    A few dayster, some pictures of Feng Alix doing a photoshoot for U&ME in theirtest products, surfaced online, and so the rumors about a business coboration were finally understood.


    So many questions were thrown out there for U&ME and Feng Alix to answer, and happily, they both epted to do an Interview.


    To Feng Alix...


    QUESTION: Why did you ept to boost U&ME''s brand instead of FJ Styles, since once worked with them for a few years, are you short of money?.


    REPLY: (chuckles softly) FJ is already made, and it''s time for other brands to be in the limelight instead of being pushed away. And no, I''m not out of money, because I can never run out of money.


    QUESTION: Since you helped U&ME with publicizing their products, and you are even wearing one of their products right now, do you n to go back into modeling?.


    REPLY: No, I don''t have ns like that. My husband wants me to look after myself and do things that wouldn''t stress me out. I just did this stuff to lend a helping hand and to show my support for brands that have a great vision.


    QUESTION: One personal question, please...


    REPLY: Sorry, I won''t ept any personal questions, thank you!


    To U&ME''s Boss...


    QUESTION: Since Mrs. Suarez formally known as Feng Alix, helped your brand, there has been a very big boost in product sales and returns. What made you think about asking for her help?


    REPLY: I didn''t have that intention initially until she walked into ourpany with her husband to shop for some clothes. I asked her while considering that she may reject my proposal, but to our surprise, she epted it but refused the payment.


    QUESTION: What''s your vision now that U&ME has received a big boost?.


    REPLY: Our Vision has be bigger, and we are working hard topete with FJ Styles and overtake them soon.


    END OF INTERVIEWS


    When the interview records were released, a lot of people whose favorite brand was FJ, three hard words on U&ME brand fit saying they were working hard to overtake FJ.


    ''You just experienced a little attention, and you are already tying ahead of yourselves!''


    "You think you can overtake an International brand like FJ? Well yes, you can, only in your dreams!''


    ''I won''t be shocked if your brand folds up for using a woman of bad reputation to boost your brand and sales!''


    There were so many people against U&ME''s Boss for speaking that way. It''s not bad for people to want to overtake the people already ages of them, but saying it out, could bring about a lot of critics, especially when the people are already infuriated by their means.


    While many people were speaking against U&ME''s Boss for the bold words he used, that didn''t stop them from making more money from their sales.


    2 weekster, after Feng Alix had left China with her husband, U&ME released a new clothing collection which attracted a lot of attention, because the outfits released, made sense.


    Close to the end of May, U&ME received a nomination alongside FJ Styles and other reputable Fashion brands for the best Fashion Brand in the country. The votes were still ongoing, and the results would be announced in the 2nd week of June.


    Fu Hua and FJ were not moved by all of these. Their brand was still waxing strong even without releasing any new collection, and that''s to show that they are notpeting with anyone.


    Shortly before Feng Alix left, it was rumored that she went to FJ to shop directly from their headquarters, but was not allowed even with her new identity, but FJ didn''t release any statement, so no one knew how true the rumors were.


    Bai Jun was back from her leave, but she used ster on her nose for another week before removing it.


    During Feng Alix and U&ME''s coboration, she found out that Alix has not gotten over Fu Hua, and her instinct told her that she was doing all of these to draw Fu Hua''s attention.


    If it was before, Bai Jun would have been in the spirit to fight anyone that showed interest in Fu Hua, but now, it looks like her soul has traveled, and her mind, having other thoughts.


    Just as Bai Jun''s instincts were working Jia Li''s instincts were working too, but she wasn''t worried that Fu Hua would have anything to do with Feng Alix again. She was confident of how principles her husband was.


    After work today, Jia Li packed up her things and left her desk. She worked till veryte today, and she was tired. She didn''t worry much about Jasmine, because the little girl was in good hands. There were a lot of people in the house to look after her and to y with her.


    You could say that the little girl always had good times when her mother was not around, because Jia Li seemed to be the only one who was a little strict with her. The others always bent to what she wanted, but would only back away if the stuff she wanted would harm her.


    Apart from this, Jasmine the little princess of the Fu family always had her ways. She was getting lots of love from her family, but Jia Li was a little scared that sue would bring up a little brat in the future, so she decided to bring up rules the family had to follow when ites to looking after the little bun.


    Jia Li''s concerns were understood, so Grandfather Fu asked everyone to listen to her.

 Chapter 425 - Its Bai Jun

    <h4>Chapter 425 - It''s Bai Jun</h4>


    In the underground parking lot, Jia Li was seen walking towards her car when Bai Jun who was sitting in her car tiredly, saw her. This was the first time Bai Jun was seeing Jia Li''s ride, and she became jealous.


    "It looks like she doesn''t bother to keep a low-key." Bai Jun sneered jealously as she watched Jia Li unlock her car. But just then, She saw Fu Hua approaching Jia Li with long strides while calling out to her, "Sweetheart!"


    Bai Jun quickly hid away while Jia Li turned in surprise after recognizing the familiar voice.


    "Why are you calling out to me, what if anyone saw us, and heard you?." Jia Li asked in a worried tone as she nced around.


    "There is nothing to be afraid of. I don''t mind if they find out about us right now, you are my wife. The only reason I''m still keeping you hidden, it''s because you are building yourself now, so you don''t need the media''s attention as my wife." Fu Hua said with a smile as he came to her side, and hugged her.


    Jia Li was still afraid that someone would see them, so she tried pushing away and protesting, but the result was that Fu Hua hugged her tightly before sealing her lips with his mouth.


    Jia Li didn''t dare to rx, and tried really hard to push him away, but failed. Atst, Fu Hua let her go after almost a minute of kissing, and at the end, he but her lips softly and called her a stubborn woman.


    "Darling, this is a serious situation, what if people saw us, that wouldn''t be good. Even if you don''t care if we are seen, but this is not a good way to convey this message, people would think we are having an affair." Jia Li said in a worried tone.


    If she was seen kissing Fu Hua in the underground parking lot, a few people may guess that she was his hidden wife, while a lot of people would think they were having an affair, because they were sneaking around.


    Fu Hua was not bothered, instead, he became thrilled. "It wouldn''t be bad if we are seen, and the news about us having an affaires out, that would be fun."


    Jia Li was speechless and wondered if he knew when to joke and not tom Seeing tee ugly expression on his wife''s face, Fu Hua smiled and caressed her cheeks before leaning in to peck her lips.


    "Don''t mind me I was joking. We can go home now." Fu Hua said with afortable gaze as he took a step back from her.


    Bai Jun who has been hiding in her car saw the sweet exchange between Fu Hua and Jia Li, and her anger boiled. She felt an excruciating pain in her chest as she watched them act all lovey-dovey with each other.


    Bai Jun cursed both Jia Li and Fu Hua in her mind and ignited her car immediately and drove off to the shock of Jia Li and Fu Hua who was not expecting anyone to be in the underground parking lot.


    "Oh my goodness, who was that?." Jia Li asked in a frightened tone. She didn''t expect that someone has been in the parking lot, and only drove away now.


    "Someone trying to sneak around. Rx, I will find out who that person is." Fu Hua said and asked Jia Li to get into the car.


    "Darling I''m really scared right now." Jia Li said with creased brows. She didn''t want to leave now that she had something serious to worry about.


    Fu Hua sighed and asked her to wait for while he phoned Zimo and asked him to find out the identity of the person that drove away some seconds ago.


    Within a few minutes, Zimo reported back to him with a clear picture of Bai Jun walking towards her car and getting into it, and a short video of how she came to the underground parking lot, and Jia Liing in next before their entanglement.


    "It''s Bai Jun, you don''t need to worry, we can go home now." Fu Hua said to Jia Li.


    "Bai Jun, won''t she tell on us?." Jia Li said with a little worry. She knew that Bai Jun hated her, and wouldn''t mind using any opportunity she had to get back at her, so she was worried that she must have taken a picture or a video of them.


    "Don''t think too much about it. She knows what will happen if she reveals any information about my private life." Fu Hua said without worries.


    Jia Li was slightlyforted by his words and agreed to fo home, and Fu Hua followed her in his car immediately.


    Bai Jun was driven by anger to leave, but she also thought about some things because she was smart. She wanted to draw attention to herself as well, and she knew that Fu Hua would find out about her identity.


    That little attention from Fu Hua was what Bai Jun needed to stay sane. She thought that the next day, Fu Hua would call for her to ask her not to divulge any information about his private life. Sue didn''t mind if his words would hurt or cause her to be jealous, as all she needed was another little attention from him, and an opportunity to converse with him, but it never came.


    The next day at work, Bai Jun waited patiently for Fu Hua to call her to meet and talk, but that never happened. Thinking that he wouldn''t do that because he was busy, she started having hope that he would at least send his assistant over to speak to her, but that didn''t happen.


    Two dayster, Bai Jun confirmed that Fu Hua didn''t take her as someone important. He didn''t even care that she knew more than a lot of people about his private life, and he didn''t care if she tries to divulge that to the media.


    Seeing her insignificant she was to him, Bai Jun''s hope came crashing down at a high speed, and every love and little affection she had for Fu Hua died immediately, and it was reced with hate and a strong urge for revenge.

 Chapter 426 - Complaining To Her Family In Tears

    <h4>Chapter 426 - Comining To Her Family In Tears</h4>


    In the 2nd week of June, the results for the best fashion brand in the country were revealed, and of course, no one could beat FJ. U&ME came in 3rd, which was surprising because they have never made it to the Top 3 before.


    Sunny took Jia Li to receive the award on behalf of FJ, to the envy of some people


    For U&ME, most people were saying it was because of the boost they experienced and that was the reason some attention was given to them.


    The Boss of U&ME was satisfied although he came in 3rd ce, but now, he has be greedy and wants to overtake FJ overnight. He was currently staying up all night and looking for a way to overtake FJ before their next Autumn Fashion Show, and atst, an idea came to him to host a fashion show before FJ does.


    After bringing up this suggestion in a meeting he had with his board of directors, only a few of them agreed that it was a good idea. But the majority said that it wouldn''t work and what was their reason?


    They said that FJ''s Autumn Fashion show will be hosted 2 monthster, and for them to host theirs before them, they would have to do a pot of preparation which would take a lot of time. They thought that bringing up that suggestion on a whim, was not a good idea, because they may lose the fame and reputation they managed to gain in a few months if they were not sessful with the Fashion Show.


    "The creative department of FJ Styles do not sleep, and are constantly developing new ideas for their products, so why should our creative Arts department ck off?." The Boss of U&ME asked with a frown. He didn''t want his idea to be kicked away, as he wanted to fight to get to FJ''s level in a few months.


    "Our brand can not bepared to a brand like FJ which has been in existence for more than 50 years. They have taken time to build their brand and reputation, so how do you think it''s possible to overtake them in such a short while?." One of the board of directors asked in an annoyed tone.


    "Out brand may notpare with them now, but that doesn''t mean it will take us 50 years before we can be like them or overthrow them, we can make it happen, and this is my final decision. The creative arts department should work their asses off and get ready for our Fashion show which will be held next month!." The Boss of U&ME said before walking away.


    Seeing as he didn''t care about their opinion, the board of directors that were not in support of his ns, left him to do what he wanted. But they were waiting for him to fail, so they could tackle him.


    While U&ME was being turned upside down by their Boss, things were going on smoothly for FJ''s employees. They were already preparing for the Autumn show which would be held in August.


    Bai Jun was very pissed off at the fact that she was not involved with the major work in FJ. The other people that were on probation with her, lived better off than her. It was as if she was not visible anymore and no one cared about her feelings.


    And as if that was not enough, her so-called husband named Yang Peng recently made it to the news headlines after being seen with another girl.


    Yang Peng was the son-inw of the Bai Family, and he was bound to get some attention from the media. And the photo taken of him and the unidentifieddy was suggestive. He had a hand wrapped around thedy with a happy smile on his face.


    Despite being married to thest person he would care about, Yang Peng decided to get a girlfriend for himself. And when he appeared in the newspaper because of it, he didn''t feel any remorse, because he was not trying to hide it. He was tired of his rtionship with Bai Jun even though they never had any interaction.


    Yang Peng felt that Bai Jun being his wife, was a taint to his reputation, so he decided to get rid of her by following his mind.


    Even though Bai Jun didn''t love him, but she will not tolerate him getting caught by the media with another woman, while still being married to her. And that was exactly how Bai Jun felt. She felt ashamed and humiliated that she had to go back to her Bai Family to cry andin.


    Old Mrs. Bai was unhappy with Yang Peng and the Yang family because his actions were a p to her family''s face. Doing something so degrading and being caught on camera was a big shame to them.


    "Mum, have you seen the kind of man you picked up for my daughter? Now he has pped all our faces in the mud!." Bai Fen ranted angrily.


    "Why are you screaming and ming us? I''m sure if Bai Jun had behaved properly, Yang Peng wouldn''t have treated her this way." The first daughter-inw said as she rolled her eyes.


    "How is it my daughter''s fault for the mistake you made? You couldn''t even pick someone capable, and now her youth is ruined, and our family is being made fun of." Bai Fen said angrily while pointing at them.


    She couldn''t ept the fact that her daughter has been shamed to that extent.


    The third daughter-inw of the Bai family sneered and said, "Don''t wag your tail like an animal. Jun is to me for everything that is happening. If only she didn''t confront Yang Peng on the day our families met, then he wouldn''t have treated her this way."


    "What do you mean?." Old Mrs. Bai asked with a frown.


    "What nonsense are you talking about, are you trying to cook up some stories because of your capabilities of picking a good husband for my daughter?." Bai Fen asked while pointing angrily at her


    The third daughter-inw smiled as she nced at Bai Jun who suddenly became silent. "Bai Jun, why don''t you tell your mother and grandmother how you confronted Yang Peng on that day?."


    Bai Jun shivered as all attention was now on her.

 Chapter 427 - Bai Juns Decision

    <h4>Chapter 427 - Bai Jun''s Decision</h4>


    "Jun, what did you say to Yang Peng before you two got married?." Old Mrs. Bai asked with a deep frown. She was thinking that if her granddaughter really said anything insulting to Yang Peng, then she really deserved what she was getting.


    There was silence for a few moments as Bai Jun received to speak. The third daughter-inw sewing that Bai Jun refused to speak, made a suggestion.


    "Jun, I can see that you are not able to talk anymore, so why don''t I narrate the whole story to everyone, then if I''m lying, you can confirm it."


    Without waiting for Bai Jun to say anything, the third daughter-inw went on to narrate the story of the exchange of words between Bai Jun and Yang Peng, much to everyone''s horror.


    Bai Jun never told her mother about this, so she was quite shocked learning all of these right now.


    Bai Jun cursed the day she met her Aunt. She thought she wasn''t going to speak about it since she forgave her when it happened, but it looked like she has been saving the story for today.


    "Jun, did you really say that to Yang Peng?!" Old Mrs. Bai asked in an authoritative tone. She was so angry for the kind of granddaughter that was raised in her family. Her granddaughter was busy crying and ming Yang Peng while she has been the one at fault.


    "Grandma... Grandma, I really did say that, but I had no choice as I didn''t have any control of my anger." Bai Jun said in a low tone as she lowered her head. If that very day was to repeat itself, she would still take the same step, because she hated Yang Peng so much for embarrassing her.


    "You dared to tell your husband that you loved another man a few days before married, and you said you didn''t have control of your anger?!" Old Mrs. Bai scolded angrily as she pointed fingers at Bai Jun.


    "Bai Jun, don''t tell me that you still like Fu Hua? OMG! What kind of disgusting personality do you have? Mother, I think we have to do something about this." The first daughter-inw suggested.


    Bai Fen got so angry that she immediately scolded the two daughters-inw. "You two had better stop putting words in mother''s mouth. Don''t use my daughter of indiscipline."


    Old Mrs. Bai felt a big headacheing as she raised her hand to massage her temples before ncing at Bai Jun to ask a very serious question.


    "Bai Jun, do you still like Fu Hua?."


    If it was before, Bai Jun''s heart would have been pounding nervously out of guilt, but right now, the same heart that held affection for Fu Hua held as much hate as the previous feelings she had for him.


    Bai Fen was a bit tense and immediately denied those words before her daughter could say anything, as she was scared she might say the wrong thing.


    "Allow Jun to speak, and don''t say anything again!." Old Mrs. Bai warned with a deep frown.


    There was no need to think twice about the matters of her current heart, so Bai Jun decided toe out with her real feelings.


    Slowly looking up at her grandmother as tears of pain filled her eyes, Bai Jun said to her, "Grandmother, I don''t if you will believe me or not, but that doesn''t matter because it is the truth. I don''t like Hua of the Fu family."


    The first and the third daughters-inw were taken aback by Bai Jun''s way of speaking. This was the first time she was addressing Fu Hua as such, and it was filled with disrespect.


    Bai Fen nced at her daughter in surprise. She had different thoughts going through her head at the moment.


    Seeing everyone''s curious gazes on her, she wiped her tears and continued, "Before, I might have had a little hope of getting together with him, but not anymore. I hate him so much now, and the people from the Fu family."


    "You hate Fu Hua? Is this a joke or something else?." The first daughter-inw asked with a frown.


    "Are you trying to use another method to try and deceive us?." The third daughter-inw asked with a smirk. She didn''t trust Bai Jun one bit after how sly she has been in the past.


    "I don''t need anyone to believe me, because I don''t care anymore." ncing back at her grandmother, Bai Jun said with determination in her tone, "Grandmother, I want to get a divorce."


    "What?!" The two women eximed in shock, as they didn''t expect Bai Jun to bring up the kind of suggestion. They thought she would ask for Yang Peng to be punished, or ask to stay in the Bai house for some time, but she went beyond their imagination.


    Bai Fen didn''t know what her daughter was up to, as they didn''t have any discussion before this meeting, but she could only stand and watch.


    "Bai Jun, do you know what will happen if you get a divorce?." Old Mrs. Bai asked. She didn''t truly believe her granddaughter so she was testing her.


    "I will have to quit my work in FJ, which I''m ready to do. I don''t want to work where my coworkers hate me and refuse to speak to me. I don''t want to work with people that iste me and don''t care about me. I want to get out from this bondage!." Bai Jun screamed as more tears rolled down her cheeks.


    "Jun, you want to quit your job at FJ?." Bai Fen asked in shock. The suggestion she made on that day Fu Meixu punched her, was to kill her feelings for Fu Hua, and about quitting her job, she couldn''t remember saying that.


    "Yes, Mum, I am tired of everything. My life is ruined already, I want to take a long break." Bai Jun said with her gaze on her mother.


    Bai Fen felt for her daughter and decides to allow her so what she wanted. Her daughter has suffered too much after struggling to love someone that has never once nced at her.


    "Are you sure that you want to quit your job in FJ?." Old Mrs.. Bai asked after a deep sigh.

 Chapter 428 - Bai Juns Decision II

    <h4>Chapter 428 - Bai Jun''s Decision II</h4>


    Bai Jun has already made her decision, abd being asked that question, there was no need to think about it again, so she nodded in response and also confirmed it with words.


    "Bai Jun, I will give you a few days to think about this, because there will be no opportunity for you to go back to FJ again. Immediately after filing for a divorce, you are going to America." Old Mrs. Bai said.


    The Matriarch of the Bai family felt for her granddaughter too. She felt that Bai Jun has suffered a lot just to learn a big lesson, but she couldn''t me anyone for that, since she refused to listen.


    Old Mrs. Bai knew that Bai Jun was pained and would need to leave the country for a while for her to get better, and probably start a new life there, so she was ready to send her out of the country.


    "Mother, why does Bai Jun have to leave the country? She can stay here with us, she needs ourpany!." Bai Fen cried out in anger.


    How could my daughter leave for America immediately after filing for a divorce without spending some time with her family, and what about their revenge ns?


    Bai Fen was still thinking about taking revenge on the Fu family, and if her daughter left, who was she going to n it with?


    "Fen, if you don''t anything, then you should at least know that your daughter is going to be aughing stock which she already is. If you want her to still stay sane, then she has to leave this country and only return when this chaos is over. At least, this should be thest thing we can do for her." The first daughter-inw said.


    "All of you destroyed my daughter''s life by making her get married against her wishes, you destroyed her prospective future!." Bai Fen said angrily. She was still deeply upset about the marriage between her daughter and Yang Peng.


    "Perspective future of getting close to a married man? Bai Fen, you better listen clearly be used none of us will take it if you use us again. Your daughter destroyed her future and not us. She made every decision herself, we didn''t force her to pick any option." The third daughter-inw said while pointing at her.


    Bai Fen hit her finger away and said, "But you left her with no choice. You led into danger and destruction!."


    "And you contributed a great deal to her destruction by not raising her well!" The third daughter-inw said with a scoff.


    She believed that if Bai Jun was not spoiled when she was little, she wouldn''t have grown up to be a headache.


    "How dare you tell me I don''t know how to raise children when your son goes about spending money on girls?." Bai Fen retorted. She couldn''t ept the me of being the only bad mother who didn''t know how to raise a child.


    "At least, he doesn''t mess up unlike your daughter, and that must be the reason you don''t have another child so you won''t have a chance to corrupt him with your bad morals!." The third daughter-inw said with a sneer.


    "What did it just say to me?." Bai Fen asked in anger. She couldn''t believe what she just heard.


    "Enough! Both of you!." Old Mrs. Bai shouted angrily. She also felt that her third daughter-inw went too far, but she didn''t have any ns of scolding her, because she med Bai Fen fit not raising her daughter well.


    Bai Jun who was still sitting on the floor didn''t move an inch or react to her mother being insulted, because she didn''t care about anybody at the moment. She has made a vow to herself to be selfish.


    Bai Fen was pained that no one wasing to her defense after she was called barren. "But mother..." She managed to say just before the olddy cut her off.


    "All of you shut up and leave my sight!. Bai Jun, go and think about what I said, I''m giving you a week to get back to me, you can leave with your mother." Old Mrs. Bai said with a casual nce at her.


    Bai Jun got up from the floor and walked away without saying anything. She didn''t need time to dwell on anything apart from how she was going to get revenge on Fu Hua, and the entire Fu family, including Jia Li if she left for America soon.


    When Bai Fen came to find Bai Jun in her bedroom, her door was locked and after knocking and calling out to her, Bai Jun still refused to open the door for her and asked her to go away.


    Old Mrs. Baiter confronted the Yang family about their son''s actions and how it was damaging their family''s reputation. After the Yang Family apologized, the husband and wife waited for their son toe back home before scolding him.


    Yang Peng wasn''t remorseful about his actions and walked away while his parents were still speaking to him.


    "I think we need to let me get a divorce. Since they were married, we haven''t had peace in this house." Mr. Yang said with a frown.


    "I have thought about that as their rtionship is getting worse by the day, but we can''t be the one to suggest it, it will be disrespectful to the Bai family, after what our son did you embarrass them." Mrs. Yang said with a frown.


    Mr. Yang nced at her and asked, "So you want us to wait until the Bai family brings up the topic about divorce before our son will be freed from these shackles called marriage?."


    "Do we have a choice? Even if Peng does not like that girl, he shouldn''t have done that, now see, he was caught and everyone knows that our son cheated." Mrs. Yang said.


    She didn''t care much about reputation, but this was really embarrassing to be pointed fingers at, and be the topic of discussion.


    Mr. Yang got angry with her and walked away, as he felt that the marriage between his son and the daughter of the Bai family should end as soon as possible.


    Bai Jun who has been thinking of a way to get revenge on Fu Hua, Jia Li, and the Fu family, finally got an opportunity to do so.... Although she felt the revenge was not as heavy as she wanted, she still took the little opportunity she got.

 Chapter 429 - Mr. U Meets Bai Jun

    <h4>Chapter 429 - Mr. U Meets Bai Jun</h4>


    In thest week of June, the Creative Arts department of FJ was already through with their designs, and after Fu Hua approved of them, Sunny gave the signal for production to start in 2 days after the materials for the outfits has been sought out.


    Since Jia Li was Sunny''s assistant, she had a copy of the designs for the Autumn show in her system and being the easiest target, and because of the revenge she had in mind, Bai Jun decided to steal the designs directly from her, the same day she submitted her resignationter.


    (Wait, ???? how did we get here? Well, let''s go a little backward to understand the situation ????)


    Afterining to her family about ending her marriage with Yang Peng, Bai Jun refused to go back to the Yang family''s home and insisted on staying in the Bai house.


    Since the olddy of the Bai family did not speak against it as she pitied her granddaughter, nobody in the family said another word.


    That weekend, on Sunday evening, Bai Jun went to a club to get high as she was feeling depressed. She went straight to the bar to sit and order a drink for herself.


    From her countenance and actions, it could be seen that she didn''te to have fun in any way. Bai Jun didn''t care if she was recognized and drank away her pain.


    The Boss of U&ME was sitting somewhere and drinking with someone he was about to do business with.


    "Let me see the kind of designs I''m paying for." Mr. U (Boss of U&ME) said with a frown as he put his ss ???? on the table with a frown, and snatched the brown envelope from the man sitting opposite him.


    "I''m sure you will like them." The man said as he picked up his ss abd drank from it in a rxed manner. His tone sounded confident as well.


    Opening the document, Mr. U went on to bring out the sketches in it and put them on the table. While going through them, he asked, "Where did you get these designs from?."


    "I bought them from young talented people, but I won''t divulge their identities to you, since it''s my business." The man replied with a proud smile.


    "The designs make sense, how much did you pay them, and are you sure they are amateurs?." Mr. U asked as he looked up at him.


    "They are indeed amateurs, and don''t know rye value of their talent, so all I did was to take advantage of that. This is not really professional, so you can get your design team to alter a few things and you are good to go. As for the price, I won''t tell you." The man said to him as he swirled his ss.


    "You don''t need to tell me the price, I will still pay you the same amount we agreed on, you did work hard." Mr. U said as he whipped out his phone to carry out a transaction.


    In less than 2 minutes, the other man sitting opposite him received a credit alert, and that made him happy. He quickly stretched out his hand for a handshake.


    "It was nice doing business with you, Mr. U"


    "You can leave now, and remember not to wag your tongue." Mr. U warned with a careless nce.


    "I know, thanks for the treat." The man said happily and got up to leave.


    After he left, Mr. U picked up the sketches on the table and nced at them one more time before putting them back into the envelope.


    Their fashion show was in 2 weeks, and he only had 10 designs for it, that were already in production. The remaining samples of sketches his creative arts department brought, were totally useless to him, so he had to find a means toplete the designs himself.


    After sitting there for a while, Mr. U decided to leave. As he walked away, his gaze swept through the bar area, and there, he saw Bai Jun''s familiar figure. He felt that Bai Jun seemed familiar, and took a detour towards her.


    "Miss Bai, you seem to be having a good time." Mr. U said as he sat on the stop next to her.


    Bai Jun nced at him with a frown before asking, "I don''t know you, and how do you know me?."


    Mr. U chuckled and said to her, "I''m sorry for my ignorance, I am Mr. U, CEO of the U&ME collection. Miss Bai, don''t you know how famous you are? You are a famous socialite, and besides, your husband''s cheating made you more popr."


    Bai Jun got angry at his second statement and warned him in a harsh tone. "Mr. U, if you came here to make fun of me, it would be good if you leave on time."


    Mr. U did not intend to annoy her, so he quickly apologized to her, and it was only then that she calmed down.


    "Why did youe to me?." Bai Jun asked as she picked up her shot ss.


    "I saw a beautiful socialite like you sitting alone, so I got worried and decided toe and check on you." Mr. U replied with a smile.


    "I don''t need your pity and sympathy, and I don''t need you to care for me, so you can be on your way." Bai Jun said as she waved her hand for him to leave, instead, Mr. U chuckled lightly.


    "It''s too early to leave, and the night is still young. You work for FJ, right? The Autumn fashion show is in a month and 2 weeks, shouldn''t you be at home wresting and waiting for the new weeks so you can go to work and stress your life out?." Mr. U probed.


    "FJ?" Bai Jun said and scoffed before drinking from her ss.


    As someone who was desperate, Mr. U, picked up Bai Jun''s slight actions immediately, and felt that things were wrong, and decided to probe more, as he might get a good opportunity for anything.


    "What happened, were you mistreated? you look angry at the mention of FJ." Mr.. U said.

 Chapter 430 - Win-Win Situation

    <h4>Chapter 430 - Win-Win Situation</h4>


    As FJ was mentioned, Bai Jun felt a hand grip her heart tightly. She always felt angered and pained whenever she remembered how she was mistreated in FJ, and by the people from the Fu family. She always felt like squeezing light out of them. Currently, Bai Jun''s heart is filled with pain.


    "I don''t want to think about FJ and surging rted to the Fu family, I came out here to get some rest." Bai Jun replied.


    Mr. U couldn''t let go of this tiny opportunity to slip by, so he pressured Bai Jun to talk about FJ and how she was wronged.


    "What did FJ do to you? I can see how much you don''t want to talk about them because you were deeply hurt. Just tell me about it, and if you want to take revenge on them, I will help you, since I am not on the same path with them."


    Bai Jun could guess a little about his intentions, so she nced at him properly before scoffing. "If you want to overtake FJ, you have to employ staffs who are ready to double FJ''s efforts over the past years, because aside from that, you can''t shake them."


    "I can overtake them now, but I can shake them by helping you take revenge on them. We can work together to gain benefits from these." Mr. U said with a smile. All he needed was Bai Jun''s cooperation for this idea that just got into his head, to work.


    Bai Jun who was starting to seem interested in the business coboration raised a brow and asked, "And what do you have to offer to shake FJ?."


    "I don''t have much, and I can not do it alone since I need your help and cooperation to start." Mr. U replied smartly.


    "What''s your idea, out with it." Bai Jun said with a slight smile. Deep down in her heart, she was hoping that Mr. U woulde up with a good idea that will be a big blow to FJ, so she waited patiently for him to speak.


    .......


    "You want me to steal some of FJ''s designs for you?." Bai Jun queried.


    "Exactly. This is a win-win situation. You steal the designs and give them to me, while I use them for my show that will happen in 2 weeks, and that is the perfect way to take revenge on them." Mr. U said with a smile.


    "This is a perfect way to take revenge. And it will be more perfect if I could still the designs for the Autumn show, but this is like running into the lion''s den, so I will pass. It was nice meeting you." Bai Jun said and got up to walk away, but Mr. Fu pulled her back immediately after a few steps.


    "Miss Bai, this is my name card, please call me within 2 days if you change your mind, I will be waiting for you." Mr. U said with a smile before walking away.


    Bai Jun nced at the name card in her hand and saw Mr. U''s real name and the U&ME logo and brand name on the card.


    "Weirdo." Bai Jun muttered under her breath before putting the name card in her bag. If there was an opportunity to steal the designs without being caught, Bai Jun would proudly do it.


    All these ns and exchanges did not pass the sight and ears of a man sitting next to Mr. U on the stool. Because of his sitting position, Bai Jun and Mr. U didn''t notice him.


    The next day being Monday, Bai Jun went to work as usual, but her mind was not really there as she had other thoughts going through her mind. She was thinking of how she would steal the designs without being caught, and also when to submit her resignationter.


    At work, no one had the time to make fu on her since her husband appeared on the news, as they were all busy, but that doesn''t mean they were not talking behind her back, which Bai Jun didn''t care about, as she would be divorcing Yang Peng, and quit her job.


    The best news Bai Jun got or heard coincidentally, was from someone from FJ''s security team. Immediately after getting into the elevator and as the door was about to close, two young men in ck suits, walked in while discussing something.


    MAN 1: "The CCTV cameras in the building are down, when will the maintenance be over?."


    MAN 2: A little over lunch break. I don''t know why there has to be a bug in the system now.


    MAN 1: We have to fix the bug quickly before we get scolded. This system maintenance was supposed to be carried outst weekend.


    A ding around came from the elevator, and the men walked out while still talking about the system maintenance.


    Bai Jun walked out a few secondster with a big smile on her face. To confirm what they were saying about the CCTV cameras in the building being down, Bai Jun kept ncing at the CCTV cameras in the hall to be sure they were not working and when she saw they were not on, her heart was ddened.


    ''Now, I have until lunch break to steal the designs.'' Bai Jun thought happily as she walked away and went into her office to sit down.


    In Fu Hua''s office, he was currently speaking with Sunny, while Zimo was standing at the side.


    "I want you to act out a y with me. I want to catch a rat red-handed." Fu Hua said with a serious gaze on Sunny.


    "Sir, Is everything alright?." Sunny asked with a surprised gaze.


    "Everything is not alright. Stop asking questions and follow my instructions, and don''t tell anyone about it, even to your assistant, and your deputies." Fu Hua instructed in a strict tone.


    Sunny didn''t know what was happening, and what her boss was driving at, but she nodded inpliance. Whatever he wanted her to do, she will do it.


    Fu Hua picked up a sh drive from his table and passed it to Sunny and began to give out instructions in a strict tone.

 Chapter 431 - Yang Peng Files For Divorce

    <h4>Chapter 431 - Yang Peng Files For Divorce</h4>


    Fifteen minutester, Sunny returned to her office and sat on her seat for a few minutes before leaving with a sh in her hand. She went straight to the big office reserved for the fashion designers and called out Jia Li''s name in other to get everyone''s attention.


    "JL?." Sunny called out as she hurriedly walked towards JL''s desk. She looked a little panicked but tried to hide it.


    JL heard the urgency in Sunny''s voice and got up from her seat with a worried gaze.


    "JL, my system just crashed, copy the designs for the Autumn show and return the sh to me. We will use your system if something urgentes up in the factory. Don''t forget to save the file with ''Autumn Show 20XX" Sunny instructed before walking away.


    Jia Li immediately did as she was instructed. Because the designs were already saved as a file with that title, all she did was copy and paste the file on her system without checking the designs.


    After doing that, Jia Li quickly left for Sunny''s office to return the sh, and all this while, Bai Jun who was sitting so far away, paid attention to Jia Li and Sunny, and now, she was thinking of how she would steal the designs during their lunch break, and she hoped everyone got out of the office as quickly as possible when it was time for their lunch break, so she would have enough time to herself.


    When Jia Li returned to her seat, she felt a gaze filled with malice directed at her, but when she turned to look around, she didn''t see anyone. She felt the serene was odd, but she fixed her gaze back on herptop and continued with her work.


    Immediately it was time for a lunch break, a few designers left their desks and went out for lunch, while a majority of them stayed back to continue working, and this infuriated Bai Jun a whole lot.


    ''Damm these people! Can''t you see it''s lunch hours? what are you still doing here?.'' Bai Jun screamed angrily in her head. She didn''t know why so many people refused to leave for lunch today she was set out on carrying out her ns after getting a rare opportunity to do so.


    Bai Jun thought of the possibility of stealing the designs with only a few people in the office, but it would be very risky since it would be easy to see her around Jia Li''s desk.


    At this point, Bai Jun wished she had superpowers, so she could stop time and steal the designs she wanted. Luckily for Bai Jun or so she thought, Chyou came to deliver instruction from Sunny.


    "Miss Sunny said everyone shoulde out for lunch immediately, and you have only 20 minutes to return to your desk and continue your work," Chyou said before turning to walk away.


    "Ah! Today is going to be a long day!." Linda said as she got up from her desk with a sigh.


    "How do you know that?" Mari¨¦ asked.


    Linda leaned over and replied, "I can feel it in my bones." The othersughed at her because she got that sentence from a song.


    As they all passed by Jia Li''s desk, Mari¨¦ stopped in her steps and asked, "Are you nning to starve today?."


    Jia Li nced up, she was surprised that Mari¨¦ decided to speak to her today, but she replied, "I''ming."


    "You''reing? Do you have extra time somewhere? We only have 19 minutes right now." Linda said with a frown.


    "Alright, I''m through," Jia Li said as she got up from her seat immediately. She was reminded that they didn''t have much time for lunch today as their hands were full with a lot of work, so she decided to join them for lunch immediately.


    Since nobody cared about Bai Jun, she sat in her seat and waited for everyone to finish leaving the room, before immediately rushing towards Jia Li''s desk.


    Bai Jun who was scared about the screen of Jia Li''s desktop going off and which will require her to input her password, sighed in relief when she saw the screen still lit up.


    "Today is my day." Bai Jun said with an arrogant smile as she quickly fished out a sh drive in her hand and connected it to Jia Li''s desktop, and proceeded to search for the file with the same title Sunny instructed Jia Li to name the file with.


    Immediately she saw the file with that title, she smiled confidently and quickly copied it to her sh before running back to her desk to hide the sh away in her bag.


    "Jia Li, Fu Hua, FJ, Fu family? You all are going to suffer 100X more of the pain I went through. I will make sure I ruin your handwork. As for the Autumn fashion show in a few weeks, consider it, canceled!." Bai Jun sneered.


    Bai Jun was feeling so proud of herself forpleting her mission despite the little hups she experienced.


    With her hands on her waist, she felt the urge to leave work immediately to go and celebrate, but she couldn''t as she still needed to join the others in our cafeteria for lunch, so no one will suspect anything.


    Back at the Yang family, Yang Peng who left the house in the morning returned with just a phone in his hand.


    Mrs. Yang was surprised to her son back home so early, as it was rare. She abandoned the things she was doing and walked up to her son.


    "Peng, why are you back so early, is everything okay?." Mrs. Yang asked with a tinge of worry on her face.


    Yang Peng smiled at her and said, "Everything is fine, and I''m noting from work."


    "Where are youing from, did you have a private meeting with some clients?." Mrs. Yang probed.


    "Yes I did have a meeting, but with mywyer. I just filed for a divorce, and I signed the papers before sending them over to the Bai family for Bai Jun to sign them.." Yang Peng revealed with a rxed smile.

 Chapter 432 - Bai Jun Submits Her Resignation Letter

    <h4>Chapter 432 - Bai Jun Submits Her Resignation Letter</h4>


    "What! You did what?" Mrs. Yang asked in shock ???? she couldn''t believe her ears.


    "I just filed for a divorce, it will be announced officially in the news this evening." Yang Peng announced further without care. He was happy to be free from the shackles that bound him.


    "You filed for a divorce? Why did you do that without letting your father and I know about it?" Mrs. Yang asked with a deep frown.


    Yang Peng nced angrily at his mother and retorted, "Do you want to see thest tinge of hope I had to disappear into thin air before I can get my freedom? And why should I discuss this topic with your and dad again?."


    "We are your parents, you should consult us before taking this bold step. And why should you be this disrespectful to the Bai family? You should have waited for our families to discuss this matter first, before taking a step. Now, not only did you file for a divorce, you signed the papers already and sent them over to the Bai family and informed the media about it." Mrs. Yangmented.


    She still saw the Bai family as a family far superior to theirs, so she has always been afraid of offending them. And now, this step her son took, was what she would never allow him to do if she was informed.


    "There is nothing left for our family to discuss with the Bai family. Bai Jun has been staying at the Bai house for a few days and refused toe back, and so I thought that this was the perfect opportunity to send her the divorce papers. Mum, I don''t want you to question me again. If you encounter troubles dealing with the Bai family, inform me." Yang Peng said and got up to leave.


    Mrs. Yang was in a dilemma because of her son''s actions which were insulting to the Bai family. Mrs. Yang agreed that her son deserved happiness, but not by offending the Bai family.


    When the Bai family received the divorce papers which already had Yang Peng''s signature, there was a mixed reaction.


    Bai Fen was whopping mad. Being someone that had a lot of pride in her, she felt insulted by Yang Peng''s actions.


    "We were ready to send them the divorce papers, couldn''t they have exercised a little patience?" Bai Fen said angrily.


    "Why are you so worked up? Are you not happy that your daughter will be free to live her life now?." The third daughter-inw asked with a sneer.


    "Who asked them to send a divorce paper to us without discussing things with us? And this makes it seem as if they are the one rejecting my daughter when it''s not so!." Bai Fen retorted.


    "There is no need to pick a fight about such a simple matter. Since Bai Jun and Yang Peng hate each other and can not continue to stay married, it is good for them to get a divorce, and it doesn''t matter who files for divorce first." The first son of the olddy said.


    "But this is so unfair to my Jun! Yang Peng was the one that publicly cheated on my daughter, and now, he dares to file for divorce first." Bai Fenined bitterly.


    "Enough! When Junes back, she will sign these papers immediately, so they can be delivered straight to the Yang family." Old Mrs. said to them.


    "Fen, you should be grateful that your daughter still has a lot of time to make amends if she wants to, otherwise..." The third daughter-inw said and trailed off as a smirk appeared at the corner of her lips.


    Bai Fen rolled her eyes at her before turning to the olddy to ask, "Mother, what of Jun''s flight, has it been booked yet? How is the arrangement for her in the US?."


    "I thought you didn''t want Jun to travel to the US immediately, but it looks like you are in a hurry to send her off." The first daughter-inw sneered.


    The reason Bai Jun wanted to send her daughter out of the country immediately, was because Yang Peng pped her face by filing for divorce first when he was the one thatmitted an abominable act first which caused damage to her daughter''s reputation. Bai Fen didn''t want her daughter to be the topic of discussion any more, she wanted her to escape from it.


    "Every arrangement will be concluded tomorrow. Her flight had been booked for this weekend." Old Mrs. Bai said and heaved a sigh.


    Back At FJ, immediately after the lunch break was over, Bai Jun went back to her desk toplete her work as soon as possible since she had ns of submitting her resignation letter at the end of work today.


    Bai Jun knew that if she didn''t finish her work before submitting her resignation letter, Sunny wouldn''t ept it, so she invested a lot of time into her work.


    It was rare to see Bai Jun so into her work. Those sitting close to the desk that nced at her by coincidence and saw how busy she looked, and went back to their work immediately.


    When Bai Jun finished working, it was a few minutes before workes to an end, so she shut her desktop down. Next, she picked up her important stuff from her desk and put them in her bag, before she got to her feet with the white envelope that contained her resignation letter.


    Waking with confident strides, Bai Jun went straight to Sunny''s office to hand in her resignation letter which came as a surprise to thetter.


    "What''s your reason for resigning?." Sunny asked with a neutral gaze.


    "I am tired of working where I don''t receive support from my teammates, and my supervisor doesn''t care about my progress, coupled with the issues from my personal life. I am mentally exhausted and can not carry on any longer." Bai Jun replied.


    Sunny stared at her for a while before asking, "Why did you choose to hand in your resignation letter today, you should have done it some time ago."


    "There is no particr reason. Miss Sunny, I will take my leave now." Bai Jun said with a slight bow.


    "Miss Bai, you still have toe to work tomorrow, and you can only leave after Mr.. Fu and the HR team has approved your letter of resignation," Sunny informed.

 Chapter 433 - That Bastard!

    <h4>Chapter 433 - That Bastard!</h4>


    Bai Jun turned around to say, "Miss Sunny, I won''t being to work tomorrow."


    "Your resignation letter hasn''t been approved yet, so why wouldn''t youe to work tomorrow?" Sunny asked.


    "I don''t care about my work here anymore, and I''m sure Mr. Fu will approve my resignation with immediate effect since he doesn''t want me here." Bai Jun responded with a rude gaze.


    Sunny smiled and then heaved a sigh before saying, "If you didn''t want toe to work tomorrow, you should have submitted your resignation letter when you came to work this morning. Work hours have ended, and Mr. Fu will attend to your matter tomorrow, and until then, you are still FJ''s employee."


    "Well, I''m sure I still don''t need to appear here tomorrow because he will immediately approve of my resignation once he sets his eyes on my letter. Thank you, Miss Sunny, have a great life." Bai Jun said and walked away arrogantly.


    She didn''t care about the way she spoke to her superior at work, and it didn''t and will never bother her.


    Sunny intentionally reminded Bai Jun about her current employment status till her resignation letter was approved, but thetter didn''t get it. It looks like Bai Jun didn''t think things through about her contract with FJ, and she probably didn''t read everything when it was first given to her to sign.


    If Bai Jun was caught in her actions when she is still an FJ employee, the punishment she will face will be massive, but it looks like she doesn''t care that she will be caught because of the CCTV cameras she thought were turned off.


    Bai Jun being so confident that Fu Hua wouldn''t hesitate to approve of her resignation walked straight to her car which was parked in the underground parking lot.


    Immediately she got into her car, she picked up her phone to dial Mr. U''s contact, and at the first ring, the call got connected.


    "I have the designs, where should we meet?." Bai Jun inquired as she yed with the sh drive in her hand.


    "What? You really got your hands on those designs?." Mr. U asked in surprise. He was really shocked that she managed to get her hands on the gold mine he wanted.


    "Don''t waste my time, where should we meet?." Bai Jun asked in annoyance.


    Mr. U who was currently supervising the work going on in the creative department looked around and nced at his wristwatch. "Can youe to U&ME now, there is an important matter I have to settle immediately, I will meet you in the underground parking lot in 20 minutes."


    Bai Jun ended the call after he said that and put her phone and the sh drive in her bag before driving out.


    At exactly 20 minutester, Bai Jun and Mr. U met up.


    "How did you manage to get your hands on the designs so fast?." Mr. U asked with a smile as Bai Jun walked towards him in quick steps.


    "Luck was on my side. All the designs for the Autumn show are in here, you can have them now." Bai Jun said as she handed over the sh drive.


    Mr. U stretched out his hand to receive the sh drive as a yful smile yed on his face.


    "I am surprised you went on to get your hands on this when we haven''t talked about the price yet. I was expecting you to ponder over my proposal, and get back to me so we can talk about the price, you really surprised me."


    "I didn''t do this for money, so I don''t need your money. I am doing this because I want to deal with FJ! I want Fu Hua to suffer a huge blow that he has never experienced or dealt with before. And as for Jia Li, she will be the prime suspect if FJ finds out that you used their designs for your uing show." Bai Jun said with a smile that was not a smile.


    "I can see how deeply your hatred runs for Mr. Fu. That''s okay, I have to get going so the productions can start this night. What are your ns after this?." Mr. U asked just as he turned to walk away, but stopped in his steps.


    "I don''t think you need to know so much about my ns, but I will tell you since we are business partners. I''m going to file for a divorce because I can''t stand my shitty marriage to a loser, then I''m going to leave the country immediately." Bai Jun replied.


    Mr. U nced at her strangely and then asked, "You are going to file for a divorce?."


    "Yes, why not?." Bai Jun asked with a frown almost immediately.


    "How can you file for a divorce when your husband already filed for one this morning?." Mr. U asked with an interested gaze


    Bai Jun narrowed her gaze as she asked, "I''m sorry, you said what?."


    Mr. U saw her surprised stance and knew that she was unaware of the recent news that was making rounds on the inte this evening. "It looks like you don''t know what''s going on. Your husband filed for a divorce today, and he posted about it himself before other news outlets helped him to spread the news. You have worked hard for today, and I think you should go home soon. And, thanks for this."


    Afterforting her, Mr. U patted her shoulder before walking away with a smile and leaving the dumbfounded Bai Jun all by herself.


    Mr. U''s words were still ringing bells in Bai Jun''s ears for another few seconds before she came back to herself. She quickly went online to confirm the news, and she saw what she was looking for.


    "That bastard!!!." Bai Jun cursed angrily as she walked back to her car immediately. She turned on the car and drove away immediately. While on her way back to the Bai house, she kept trying to reach Yang Peng but failed to do so.


    "You coward! Who needs this shitty marriage, I was going to throw the divorce papers to your face! How dare you embarrass me and my family you worthless loser!!!."


    Bai Jun kept cursing Yang Peng till she got back home.

 Chapter 434 - Jasmines Reaction To Eating Adult Food

    <h4>Chapter 434 - Jasmine''s Reaction To Eating Adult Food</h4>


    When Bai Jun got back home, Bai Fen quickly pulled her to a corner and told her about the divorce papers Yang Peng sent over, and about the news on the inte.


    "...now everyone knows that he filed for a divorce first!." Bai Fen said angrily.


    "Mum, as you can see, I''m not in a good mood right now. Where are the divorce papers?." Bai Jun asked directly.


    "Do I look like I''m in a good mood too?." Bai Fen asked in an annoyed tone. Here she was worried about her daughter, and thetter didn''t seem to consider her feelings.


    Bai Jun didn''t have the strength to argue with her mother and quickly walked into the house to ask for the divorce papers.


    Old Mrs. Bai nced at her to tell her emotions, and seeing how angry she was, she said to her, "Jun, just go ahead and sign the divorce papers. I am highly disappointed by Yang Peng''s actions in publicizing this news."


    "He must have thought Jun wouldn''t agree to sign the divorce papers, so he let the media know about the divorce papers so Jun will be forced to sign it." The third daughter-inw said.


    "It''s not like I was ever interested in this stupid marriage and a low life like him." Bai Jun said through gritted teeth as she picked up a pen and immediately signed the divorce papers before picking them up and standing to her feet.


    Seeing as she was about to leave their presence with the divorce papers she just signed, Old Mrs. Bai stopped her. "Where are you going?."


    "To give the divorce papers back to that disgrace of manhood!." Bai Jun retorted with an angry gaze.


    "Your words are so foul this evening. You must be very angry, so I suggest you go in to rest while we help you deliver the divorce papers to the Yang family." The first daughter-inw said with a smile.


    As everyone agreed to it, Bai Jun was forced to listen, so she asked for a minute and went into her bedroom and came out a few minutester with a big envelope ?? containing the divorce papers and a personal letter she wrote to Yang Peng. After handing the envelope to her grandmother, she walked away.


    If not for the fact that she was not allowed to leave the house, she would have gone out to cause a lot of trouble for Yang Peng and the Yang family. If given another opportunity or time, Yang Peng would have been the next person she would have loved to deal with, because he caused her life to be in embarrassment from the time he came into the picture.


    When Yang Peng got the divorce papers back, he saw the letter attached to it and opened it to read. The first sentence of the letter was enough for him to know who the letter was from, and so he didn''t bother to continue reading it anymore.


    Back in the Fu family, things were going on smoothly.


    This little bun named Da Xia by her great grandfather and nicknamed Jasmine by her mother was currently having one of the best times of her life.


    The little bun was currently sitting in her baby Walker with her silicone baby feeding set. She had one wrapped around her neck, one which was a small bowl that had a small quantity of adult food in it, and the third one was the spoon.


    Yeah, that''s right, Jia Li has finally allowed the little adult food snatcher to start trying adult foods for real, and the amazing thing about this is that the little bun was feeding herself.


    After she was served the food, her round eyes glistened happily as she babbled excitedly. Her cute actions brought heartyughter from the rest of the family members.


    "Da Xia is so cute," FangSu said as she gushed over the little bun''s cuteness.


    "And she seems to love adult food so much," Meixu said with a smile.


    "You really can''t wait, can you?." Jia Li whispered to the little bun with a smile before going on to feed her.


    Jasmine has just managed to eat two spoons of the food from her mother before insisting on feeding herself by snatching her spoon from her.


    Jia Li didn''t want to fight with the little bun during dinner with the whole family present, so she let her do whatever she wanted, and that''s how Jasmine came to feed herself.


    This was the first time the little bun was feeding herself with a spoon. Other times, she would hold her milk or water bottle on her own and would go on to feed herself. Other times, she would use her fingers to pick up fruits or anything to put in her mouth, but this was the first time she was attempting to use a spoon to feed herself.


    Currently, the little bun was finding it difficult to locate her mouth with the spoon, and sometimes, the food will fall off from her spoon on its way to her mouth.


    Understanding how frustrating the situation might be for his little daughter, Fu Hua decides to give her a hand. He would help to direct the spoon of food to her little mouth, and he had to struggle to do so because the little bun was still interested in feeding herself.


    At a point, the little bun pulled the spoon from her father and went on to stab it into the bowl of mixed rice with veggies. From ying with the food, she held the spoon with her left hand and used her right hand to pick up the food and put it in her mouth.


    Now finding itfortable to eat that way, the little bun giggled excitedly and spoke a few incoherent words with her gaze on her mother, while pointing at her bowl of food.


    Jia Li understood her but said to her while demonstrating so she could understand her words, "I don''t care how excited you are, but don''t touch your eyes with your hands, or it''s really going to hurt."


    The little bun smacked her lips with a smile before ncing back at her food. Before she could resume eating on her own, Fu Hua fed her some water.


    Grandfather Fu nced at his beloved great-granddaughter and said with a smile, "Da Xia is intelligent and independent, it will not be hard to raise her."

 Chapter 435 - Police Officers Pay A Visit To The Bai Family Unannounced

    <h4>Chapter 435 - Police Officers Pay A Visit To The Bai Family Unannounced</h4>


    The next day at work, everyone is aware that Bai Jun sent in her resignation letter after work yesterday and everyone in the creative arts departments begins to wonder what her reason was.


    "It''s no wonder I no longer feel any dark energy," Mari¨¦ said with a smile.


    "I''m d she left, she should have left long ago." One of the newbies said with a snort.


    "But what''s her reason for quitting work, doesn''t it seem suspicious?." Another person asked with a frown.


    "There is nothing suspicious about it. She was suspicious only when she refused to leave after having a messy private life, and given the fact we found out who she truly was and avoided her." Linda said.


    "Jun really is strong-willed only to leave now, I guess her fantasies were forced to stop."


    "Didn''t you see the news yesterday? Her husband filed for a divorce. She would have been sent a warning from FJ sooner, but she chose to quit before then." Another person said.


    "I wonder what her next ns would be, she ruined her life all by herself, and that''s a punishment she deserves for reaching out to what does not belong to her," Mari¨¦ said.


    "I bet she regrets her whole existence now." Another person said with a low chuckle.


    Right at this moment, Jia Li walked towards a few of them with a stack of papers in her hand. If she was making her way towards her desk, she has to pass through her colleagues who gathered at Linda''s table.


    Jia Li just learned about Bai Jun quitting when she went into Sunny''s office just now, but she didn''t care about it. She had a child, a husband, a family, and a job, so why would she waste her time on irrelevant people?


    When Jia Li thought she had almost passed her colleagues, Mari¨¦ blocked her path.


    Jia Li nced at Mari¨¦ with a frown. She didn''t know what she wanted from her this time around so she asked, "Can I help you?."


    "Mari¨¦ what is wrong with you, what are you doing?." Linda asked with a frown as she got up from her feet. She was worried that Mari¨¦ would upset Jia Li.


    "I just wanted to find out something from JL. I noticed you don''t smell a lot like a baby these days, have you stopped nursing your child?." Mari¨¦ asked with a smile.


    Jia Li was taken aback by her question. This was the second time anyone from work has mentioned about her having a child, so she was kind of surprised.


    The first person to ask about her child was Sunny. One day when she came in in the morning and went straight to Sunny''s office because thetter asked for her, Sunny asked her if she was nursing because she had a baby''s scent on her. Jia Li could not deny it and replied with a yes, then Sunny never brought up that topic again.


    Now that Mari¨¦ knew about her having a child from her scent which she tries to hide when she remembers it, Jia Li did not want to deny it since it wouldn''t reveal any other important stuff apart from the fact that she had a child.


    "What? JL you have a child?." One of them asked as she gazed at Jia Li in surprise.


    "OMG! I can''t believe this, I''m so shocked right now!." Another said with a shocked gaze.


    Linda didn''t look surprised either, because she kind of guessed some time ago that Jia Li had a child from her scent since she was always the one getting closer to her than the others.


    Linda was sensible to know that Jia Li was a private person and didn''t like to talk about her private life, and she respected that fact, and that was the reason she never confronted Jia Li about it


    Jia Li gazed at her colleagues before saying to them, "Yes I have a child. I don''t like talking about my private life, because I like to keep things simple."


    "Wait JL, you really have a child? Is your child a male or a female?." One of them asked with an excited gaze.


    Jia Li nced at her and sighed, then she replied before quickly walking back to her desk, "I have a daughter."


    Jia Li was wrong to think that if she went to her desk, none of them would follow her. Right now, those interested in her stories immediately followed her to her desk and began to throw questions at her.


    "Can we see what your daughter looks like?"


    "How old is she?."


    "Can we visit you?."


    Linda saw Jia Li struggling to handle the others and immediately opened her mouth to say to them, "I bet you all don''t want your jobs anymore. We have a big show ahead of us, don''t we have any work to do?"


    Linda''s words were a reminder to the others who quickly left for their desks.


    "I know a little more about JL because I love to study people, do you want to hear them?." Mari¨¦ whispered to Linda.


    "I''m not interested, and if you love to study people and look into details, then you shouldn''t be here, because you should be a psychologist," Linda said and immediately faced her desktop.


    "Alright, I''m off," Mari¨¦ said and turned to walk away.


    Bai Jun who was rxing at home with fruits surrounding her seemed not to worry about anything. Since her flight was on Friday night, she had 2 days more before she leaves China. Her things were still at Yang Peng''s ce, and she didn''t bother to go and take them since they were just clothes, shoes, and bags. She had the money to get another one if she wanted.


    While she was rxing in her bedroom, 3 police vehicles drove into the Bai premises.


    "Madam, the police are here!." A servant rushed in to inform the few family members that were having some snacks in the living room.


    As usual, Old Mrs. Bai, and her three daughters-inw were having snacks and drinking tea while talking about Bai Jun''s future when she gets to the US before the servant came to interrupt them.


    "What are the police here for? Mother did you send for them?." Bai Fen asked with a frown.


    "All of us have been here, when did mother send for them?." The first daughter-inw asked.


    Although old Mrs.. Bai was surprised about the police visiting them without notice, she gave her permission for them to be allowed inside the house.

 Chapter 436 - Miss Bai, You Are Under Arrest

    <h4>Chapter 436 - Miss Bai, You Are Under Arrest</h4>


    "What! you are here to make an arrest? Do you know whose house you are in?." Bai Fen asked angrily.


    The Chief police officer just informed them that they were here to make an arrest after Olddy Bai asked them what they came for.


    "Mr. police, I''m sure you must be mistaken about something. This is the Bai family, so tell me, which criminal do you think lives in our family?." The first daughter-inw asked with a frown.


    For the police toe to their house and say they came to arrest someone in their family, she was sure it was a serious matter.


    "Maybe one of the servants must have vited the rules outside or something because there is no criminal in our family." The third daughter-inw said without a care.


    "No Ma''am, we are not here to arrest any of your servants of staff, we are here to arrest a member of your family who has vited thews." The Chief police officer said.


    Currently, there were a total of four policemen in the room with them, and the rest of them were waiting outside.


    "What? Mr. Officer, can you please tell us the member of my Bai family that must have offended you without knowing?." Old Mrs. Bai asked with a worried gaze as this has turned into a serious matter.


    The Chief police officer showed them the paper he had in his hand while saying, "We are here to arrest Miss Bai Jun for viting thepany policies and rules of FJ as a staff."


    "What!." The first daughter-inw and the third daughter-inw eximed in shock ????


    "Mr. Police, what nonsense are you talking about? Whatpany rules did my daughter break that would warrant her to be arrested?." Bai Fen asked angrily, but deep down in her heart, she was nervous and scared, as she didn''t know what her daughter had done wrong.


    "FJ is pressing charges on Miss Bai, and after the evidence had proven that she stole the designs from FJ''s uing Fashion show and gave them to a rivalpany who has already begun production, the court has ordered for Miss Bai to clear up the money as written in her contract, and she is to be arrested to serve a jail term of 3 years with hardbor." The Chief police officer revealed.


    "Oh my goodness, this child will not kill us!."


    "You said my granddaughter did what!."


    "Mr. police, there must be an error somehow, my daughter will never do such a thing!." Bai Fen said in a nervous tone.


    "I know this is hard to believe, but we have pieces of evidence presented to us by FJ which proves that their ims and allegations are right. Please, allow us to do our job." The Chief security officer said as he nced at each one of them.


    "What job do you want to do? You want to take my daughter, no way! At most if she actually did something like that, we would pay the fine, there is no need to serve a jail term." Bai Fen said arrogantly.


    She could feel the seriousness of the matter, but she didn''t care to know the details as she wanted to protect her only child. How could she allow her child to be sent to jail? There was no way that was going to happen, she would never allow it.


    "Can I see the evidence?." The third daughter-inw asked with a calm look, and the police officer took out his phone and yed a few video clips for those interested to watch.


    The first video clip showed Bai Jun in a club sitting and talking with U&ME''s Boss, Mr. U. The second clip showed Bai Jun on Jia Li''sptop on how she copied the designs into her sh drive. The third clip showed Bai Jun and Mr. U meeting up, and the other clips showed Mr. U giving the sh to has design department to start working on them.


    The big proof here, was Bai Jun meeting up with Mr. U in the underground parking lot because there were two different videos of that scene. One from the CCTV camera, and one captured from someone''s phone, which picked up the conversations they had.


    Bai Fen didn''t know how shended on the floor after losing her bnce. She was so shocked by the series of pieces of evidence that proved that Bai Jun went against work ethics and FJ''s terms and conditions as an employee.


    The Chief police officer didn''t stop there, he went on to show the evidence that confirmed Bai Jun''s fingerprint on Jia Li''s desktop. To make Bai Jun''s situation clearer, he showed them a picture of FJ''s rules and the punishment thates with Bai Jun''s acts.


    "...I''m sure Miss Bai signed the same contract as the others. And Miss Bai was still an employee of FJ at the time shemitted this crime. Her resignation letter which was submitted to the creative arts director after work yesterday, just got to Mr. Fu''s desk this morning, and having a lot to deal with, it has remained unsigned, and this means that Miss Bai''s punishment will be heavier, for noting to work as an employee of FJ without giving any reasons, but this offense is not the main deal."


    There was a moment of silence as everyone was too shocked after everything they just heard. Bai Fen couldn''t say another word as just one sentence kepting to her thoughts, ''It is finished''


    Old Mrs. Bai almost had a heart attack. She clutched her chest with furrowed brows and couldn''t say a word. The other two daughters-inw were too infuriated to speak up. Bai Jun''s actions, just tarnished the remaining reputation they had left, and there was no way they would be able to still maintain their grounds in this city, their family, just hit the biggest rock bottom.


    As the next mistress of the Bai family, all authority was now left in the first daughter-inw''s hands. She immediately called for a servant to direct the police officers to Bai Jun''s bedroom to have her taken away.


    Bai Fen on seeing what was going on started crying and tried to block their paths, but the third daughter-inw ordered another set of servants to hold her down.


    Bai Jun was still in her bedroom eating fruits and listening to good music when she heard knocks on her door. She permitted whoever was knocking toe in, and to her surprise, she saw a servant lead four policemen into her bedroom.


    "What the hell are the police doing in my bedroom, don''t you have any manners?." Bai Jun asked in deep anger.


    "Miss Bai, we are sorry for disturbing your peace, but you are under arrest for...." As the Chief police officer was saying that, the other police officers in uniform immediately surrounded Bai Jun and handcuffed her hands.

 Chapter 437 - The Kind Of Child She Raised, A Public Criminal

    <h4>Chapter 437 - The Kind Of Child She Raised, A Public Criminal</h4>


    Before leaving with the shocked Bai Jun who kept crying for help from her family, and asking the policemen to let her go, the chief police officer, did not forget to drop some documents and letters from the court and FJ.


    "Mum, are you going to stand there and let them take me away? I didn''t do anything wrong, Fu Hua deserves this for messing with me!." Bai Jun screamed as she was pulled out of the living room.


    Bai Fen sprawled at her mother-inw''s feet to cry for help, but the servants came and dragged her away.


    "You are crying for your daughter when you are not safe. You are a big disgrace!." The first daughter-inw said in spite. She hated Bai Fen so much at this moment, that she would have loved to ask the police to take her along with Bai Jun.


    "I don''t care about myself, I care about my daughter! Please don''t let her go to prison, I will do anything to trade for her freedom." Bai Fen cried out hysterically.


    "You still have the guts to talk and plead, do you think you have options? Do you know the kind of situation our family is in now because of you and your monstrous upbringing? This scandal will appear on the news, and then everyone is going to call us out. Our business will go into ruins, and my children will be pointed fingers at, not just them, every one of the Bai family will be talked about. You have always been so selfish and useless, I don''t know where you were picked up from!." The third daughter-inw said angrily while pointing fingers.


    "I don''t care what you say to me, I just want my daughter back!." Bai Fen cried as she tried to break free from the servant''s grip.


    Old Mrs. Bai could not withstand today''s shock and had an immediate breakdown. Her blood pressure rose, and she fainted. Now, everyone except for Bai Fen was running around to move her to her bedroom.


    Bai Fen didn''t care about her mother-inw, and instead tried to run outside to stop the police, but the first daughter-inw, asked the servants to drag her back and bring her to her.


    When Bai Fen was dragged back to her, she immediately received a tight p on her face. Bai Fen almost caused a scene after she was pped, but with the first daughter-inw having more authority than her, she ended up being locked in the room, while a call was made for Old Mrs. Bai''s doctor toe over, and for the rest of the family members toe back home.


    Bai Jun tried to fight with the police even with her hand being handcuffed but failed. She was pushed into the vehicle and taken straight to the police station where many news outlets and paparazzi were waiting for her.


    Fu Hua made sure to tip the media off.


    As for Mr. U, he was brought in for questioning after FJ filed awsuit against hispany for stealing their designs after the evidence pointed rightfully at them.


    Mr. U agreed to pay for the fine FJ sued him for, and because of the damage to hispany''s reputation, U&ME postponed their fashion show which has already been announced and decided on, causing thepany to lose a lot of money.


    Throughout that day, Bai Jun was trending online and in many media outlets, and the Bai family was not forgotten, they were all dragged into this mess which caused their business stocks to plummet.


    When Yang Peng saw the news, he immediately sent all of Bai Jun''s things to the Bai family, and when he looked at his parents that sat on the couch with deep regrets on their faces, he didn''t know what to say to them.


    When FJ''s staff, especially Bai Jun colleagues saw the news, they were shocked, as they couldn''t believe that Bai Jun would go to such an extent.


    Sunny with the instruction from Fu Hua, let Bai Jun''s colleagues watch the CCTV footage that exposed Bai Jun going to Jia Li''s desktop to copy the designs when they all left for lunch.


    "Is she a fool? Did she forget that so many cameras were watching her?."


    "Maybe she lost her senses for that particr moment."


    "No wonder she fled!."


    "I have never seen someone as evil as she is!."


    "Why do I feel that serving a jail term of 3 years with hardbor is not enough for her?."


    "Right? I think FJ needs to increase the jail term a bit."


    "Did Bai Jun not read thepany''s policy before embarking on this act?."


    "Does it matter now, the deal has been done? Now, she has to pay a hefty sum of money to FJ, and also serve a jail term of 3 years with hardbor."


    "That is well-deserving of her. I wish I could see how much she is suffering right now, and make fun of her."


    "U&ME is okay after only paying some money, but look at her, her punishment was worse."


    "There is no need talking about her, she is a human waste!."


    While all these were going on, Jia Li had only one thought in her head, Fu Hua was due for questioning.


    She was wondering how he knew so much and kept her in the dark because it was obvious that he knew of Bai Jun''s ns, and got ready beforehand to get evidence against her.


    Jia Li wanted to see him right away and question him, but it was still work hours, and in a few hours, they would see each other at home, so she made up her mind to exercise a little more patience.


    As for the Bai family, they were in a total mess after the news of Bai Jun''s crimes got out. When Bai Jun''s father got home, he was so angry that he pped Bai Fen and pushed her to the floor. He was about to hit her again when his nephews pulled him away.


    "Shouldn''t I just kill this woman now? See the kind of child she raised, a public criminal. Immediately I got so busy with work, and couldn''t always keep my eyes on Jun, I entrusted her to you thinking that you would do a good job, but what is this? Since she came back to China, I couldn''t recognize her anymore!." Bai Jun''s father said angrily.


    Old Mrs. Bai had to leave her sickbed ande to plead with him before he agreed to let Bai Fen off.. It wouldn''t be right to continue hitting Bai Fen, so she had to stop him.

 Chapter 438 - The Little Bun Interrupts

    <h4>Chapter 438 - The Little Bun Interrupts</h4>


    When Fu Hua returned home, Jia Li was already back and expecting him. Once Fu Hua stepped into their bedroom, he said to Jia Li, "Sweetheart, I know you have lots of questions for me, but I need to take a shower right now, I''m so tired."


    Jia Li gazed at him and replied, "I know you need to take your bath first, you can do that while I go get you an appetizer."


    "Thanks for your understanding." Fu Hua said with a smile. He was aware that he had so many exnations to do, and he would never avoid that.


    By the time, Fu Hua was done showering and dressing up, Jia Li had already brought in some fruits for him, and strawberries ???? were amongst them.


    While sitting on the couch, Fu Hua called Jia Li over, and when she came to his side, he immediately pulled her to sit on his thighs.


    "Now I feelfortable." Fu Hua said with a rxed smile.


    "But I''m notfortable." Jia Li said to him.


    Jia Li smiled and leaned in to give her a quick kiss on her cheeks. "First of all, I want to start by apologizing. Sweetheart, I''m sorry for not telling you about any of these, and that''s because I didn''t want you to worry."


    "But you told Miss Sunny about it." Jia Li said with a frown.


    "Don''t tell me you''re jealous." Fu Hua said as he stared at her wide-eyed. "I''m not jealous, I was just saying." Jia Li replied.


    "Did you see how the drama yed out, that was the reason I ced Sunny in the picture. I wasn''t sure if you were a good actress, so I didn''t tell you about my ns." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    "Actually, I''m not a good actress, but when ites to dealing with someone like Bai Jun who I don''t like, I can be a good one." Jia Li said as she picked up a strawberry and put it into his mouth.


    Fu Hua chewed on the fruit with a smile before pinching her cheeks.


    "Now please tell me how you knew about Bai Jun''s ns?." Jia Li said with an anticipating gaze.


    Fu Hua did not waste her time or tease her, he went straight to the point to give her the full details only he and Zimo knew about.


    Zimo was the person sitting next to Mr. U at the bar with his back against him while he had a conversation with Bai Jun. This was truly a coincidence, and Zimo was happy to be present, so immediately he left the club, he contacted Fu Hua to tell him all he heard, and that was how they both went on to lure Bai Jun intomitting her crime sooner.


    Fu Hua sent those security team officers to lie in wait for Bai Jun toe to work, so they can take the same elevator with her and talk about the CCTV cameras and system maintenance.


    This was not enough, but it gave Bai Jun the insight that it was a perfect opportunity to carry out her ns. And in other to make her ns smooth failing, Fu Hua called Sunny to his office and asked her to act out a y.


    Fu Hua did not give her details or go on to tell her about Bai Jun and Mr. U''s conversation at the club. He only gave her some sets of instructions to carry out which she did, including making sure that everyone went out to have lunch during their lunch break, so Bai Jun could see the opportunity to steal the designs she wanted.


    Fu Hua exined the beginning till the end of Bai Jun''s matter and how much he wanted to get rid of her quickly, and that was the reason he created those circumstances in other to push her to act faster.


    "You are a genius! And you need to reward Zimo for his hard work." Jia Li said after giving him a thumbs up.


    "Since you said it, I will listen to you. I will reward him with an all-expense-paid vacation to any country of his choice for a week, but that will be after the Autumn Fashion show." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    "Not bad, and I''m sure he would be happy to receive his reward." Jia Li said with a smile.


    "What about me, I worked hard too, but who would give me a reward?." Fu Hua asked with a pout.


    Jia Li chuckled at his childish acts and said, "You are the Boss, so you can easily reward yourself.


    "No, I don''t want that." Fu Hua said as he picked up a red grape ???? from the te.


    Jia Li smiled and circled her arms around his neck before going on to ask, "Then what do you want?."


    Fu Hua put the grape in her mouth while replying to her question, "I want you to reward me."


    With the grape in her mouth, Jia Li asked with a smiling gaze, "How?."


    "Like this..." Fu Hua said and leaned in to capture her lips in a gentle kiss. The kiss grew from a gentle one to a fierce one, as they both got a taste of the grape.


    Fu Hua''s hands were not bound to stay in one ce. While kissing Jia Li, his hands began to roam all over her body.


    When things were getting too heated for them, and they were about to take the next step, they were interrupted with the familiar cries of a little someone, and the gentle knocks of an adult.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua exchanged gazes and chuckled over it before Jia Li got off his thighs and went to open the door to see Jasmine with tears in her eyes while in her grandmother''s embrace.


    Immediately she saw her mother, the little bun quickly stretched out her arms as she wanted to be carried.


    Jia Li smiled at her and quickly carried her in her arms.


    "She has been looking for you. Take care." Fu Hee said after the little bun left her arms.


    "Thank you, mum." Jia Li said with a smile.


    "No worries." Fu Hee said with a smile and patted the little bun''s cheeks before leaving.


    When Jia Li walked back inside the room, the little bun in her arms had already stopped crying and began pulling her shirt.


    "What do you want? Do you want some fruits?." Jia Li asked as she went to Fu Hua''s side to pick a strawberry from the te.


    Jasmine was smart, and she couldn''t talk, but there was a way for her tomunicate. Since her mother asked her a question, she pulled her shirt and leaned her mouth on her chest area to demonstrate her response.


    .....

 Chapter 439 - Can You Make Your Words Clear?

    <h4>Chapter 439 - Can You Make Your Words Clear?</h4>


    "Why are you pulling my shirt? what are you trying to do?." Jia Li asked as she carried her to go and sit on the sofa beside Fu Hua.


    Fu Hua smiled from the side and said to her, "She wants milk."


    As if in agreement with her father, Jasmine put her lips on Jia Li''s chest and pulled her clothes again, but when she didn''t see any reaction from her mother, she started crying.


    "Jasmine stop it!" Jia Li said as she tried to pry off the little bun''s hands off her shirt. Jasmine pouted and cried with her gaze on her mother before ncing sideways to stare at her father.


    Fu Hua smiled at the little girl and stretched out his hands to carry her from Jia Li, but the little bun refused to go with him. She immediatelyid on her mother''s chest and continued crying.


    Fu Hua gave up on trying to make here to him and turned to Jia Li to persuade her again. "Sweetheart, give her what she wants, she is crying a lot."


    "She is crying a lot? Jasmine, why do you want milk now, it''s time to eat your snacks, should I get them for you?." Jia Li asked the little bun who increased her tone.


    The little bun was adamant and was particr about what she wanted. She wanted breastmilk, and that''s it, so she continued to pull on her mother''s clothes and cry.


    Jia Li couldn''t stand the cries of the little one that was beginning to annoy her to a great extent, so she gave in and asked Fu Hua for help to unbutton her shirt since she couldn''t do it with the little girl in her arms who refused for her father to hold her even for a minute.


    Once she saw what she wanted, Jasmine stopped crying and grabbed it with both hands and directed her lips to it, and began to suck.


    "You didn''t give her milk yesterday, so I guess she must have missed it." Fu Hua said with a smile and he caressed his daughter''s hair.


    "I thought she loved adult food, but why does she keeping back for breastmilk." Jia Li asked with a frown.


    The previous day, Jia Li did not breastfeed the little bun or pump any into her bottle, so the little girl didn''t get to taste her milk the previous day. But now on the evening of today, she remembered her milk and started crying for it.


    "I guess she wants both. I know you want her to stop taking her milk before she turns a year, but don''t force it. She is our first child, and we are not having another one soon, so I would want her to enjoy what she wants." Fu Hua said with his gaze on Jia Li.


    When Jia Li was pregnant with Jasmine, and they were still trying to build their rtionship, he already felt bad that the pregnancy would affect her career since it was unnned, so he promised her that they won''t have another child soon, so she could focus on her career and build it to a certain level before they can have another child.


    And now still keeping his promise, he wanted their daughter to enjoy everything she wanted to the fullest as he loved spoiling her.


    Jia Li understood his point, but said to him, "I get you, but I''m worried that I''m not satisfying you as you want. You don''t uhm... you don''t suck my boobs anymore, so I thought I should stop breastfeeding Jasmine soon, so you can have full ess to my body, and besides, she is going to turn a year in 2 weeks, she needs to stop soon."


    Fu Hua couldn''t believe his ears. Was this the shy and innocent wife he married almost 2 years ago? He was surprised to hear Jia Li talking about satisfying him with her body, but he was still able to detect the little embarrassment she had talking about it.


    A smile yed on Fu Hua''s lips as he gazed at Jia Li with seductively. Jia Li on the other hand couldn''t stand the heated gaze and immediately look away from him. Fu Hua smiled even more and said to her in a low tone...


    "Sweetheart, I love you, and you''re doing your best to satisfy my sexual urges, and I also understand we have a child to consider too, so I''m notining. If you like me sucking your boobs, I will resume again."


    Fu Hua''s only worry was that he would finish his daughter''s milk if he continued to suck on his wife''s boobs, so he stopped.


    How could Jia Li reply to him, she simply kept mute? She didn''t want to admit to anything, so she fixed her gaze on the little bun that kept touching her face and pressing her boobs. The little bun was really having a good time.


    Seeing as Jia Li refused to respond to him, Fu Hua chuckled softly and raised his hand to pat her hair gently.


    "Let''s go for a massage this weekend." Fu Hua suggested.


    "Do we have time for that?." Jia Li asked as she finally gazed back at him. She asked this question because of how busy they were trying to prepare for the Autumn fashion show.


    "We don''t have time for that, but it''s necessary, or you willin that I''m not taking care of you. I will give..." Fu Hua stopped talking midway, and no matter how Jia Li asked him to finish his statement, he refused.


    "Don''t worry, you will find out soon. I decided on this because of you, but don''tin that it''s stressful, and don''t forget, you have to give it your all." Fu Hua said as he got to his feet and winked at her before turning to walk away.


    "Darling, what are you talking about, can you make your words clear?." Jia Li said with her gaze on the man that had his back against her, but he didn''t reply.


    ''What does he mean?'' Jia Li thought hard.

 Chapter 440 - Divorce

    <h4>Chapter 440 - Divorce</h4>


    This same evening, Bai Jun''s sack letter from FJ, finally made its way to the Bai family. The person that received that letter was the first daughter-inw. And when she walked into the living room where everyone was sitting in a sober mood, she announced the arrival of a letter from FJ.


    "Why would they send us a letter, why don''t you read it out to find out." The third son of the Bai family said with a frown.


    Without wasting time, the first daughter-inw took out the letter from the envelope and opened it. The headline of the letter alone felt intimidating.


    After reading the letter which contained the reason for Bai Jun being sacked, and how much fine to pay, and what will happen if the fine wasn''t paid within the expected date given.


    "Bai Fen, just know that I and my family will not bring out a dime to pay for any fine. You and your criminal daughter should sort it out. I believe that since you and Bai Jun have a lot of money, and you have rich rtives, paying the money back won''t be a problem." Bai Jun''s father said while pointing angrily at Bai Fen whose eyes were red from crying.


    "I don''t have that much money whenbined with Bai Jun''s and I don''t think my brother will want to give me any money." Bai Fen said in tears.


    "Not when you have been abandoned." Bai Jun''s father said to the surprise of everyone.


    "What do you mean?." Bai Fen asked with a confused gaze. Her thoughts were in disarray, and that made her not understand the meaning of his words.


    Not just Bai Fen, but all the members of the Bai family nced curiously at the second son while waiting for an exnation.


    "Bai Fen, do you think you will continue to remain in this family after everything that has gone wrong? You must be braindead to think that I will want to continue to live with a woman like you. As we the Bai family are leaving this City, you will note with us." Bai Jun''s father said in a clear tone as he made his stance clear.


    "What! You...you are abandoning me?." Bai Fen asked in total shock. She couldn''t believe that her husband of over 20 years was thinking of abandoning her at this moment.


    Everyone had nothing to say about Mr. Bai''s decision, it''s not like they didn''t see iting.


    "You are still asking questions? Why on earth do you think I will want to spend the rest of my life with you? Can''t you see how you have destroyed my life and ruined my family? I am only giving you divorce with no alimony, and you are not satisfied, would you want me to kill you off and feed your dead body to the sharks?." Mr. Bai asked in an angry tone as he took steps towards Bai Fen.


    Bai Fen was immediately scared for her life. Her husband just threatened to kill her if she doesn''t agree to a divorce, and she didn''t need to test him to know if he would really do it.


    Old Mrs. Bai frowned at her son and asked him not to go too far with his words.


    "Mum, why won''t I threaten her? And I''m being very serious about it. See how she has ruined our family and made us aughing stock. We just moved back to the city a few years ago in glory, and now we are forced to leave in disgrace, all because of a woman blinded by greed. She should be grateful I didn''t stab her to death." Mr. Bai said angrily.


    The man was very furious and wouldn''t mind shedding his wife''s blood to get some peace. There was nothing more terrifying than marrying a terrible partner who would lead to your downfall, it was a nightmare.


    Old Mrs. Bai sighed and didn''t say anything again. She was thinking if she had listened to Fu Hee''s advice about getting rid of Bai Fen sooner before she caused another chaos in their family if they would have avoided today''s problem.


    (REMINDER: Fu Hee said that to the olddy during Bai Jun''s wedding, just as she was about to leave)


    Currently, the olddy had a lot of regrets in her life. She was already so old and could die at any time. But she was afraid of facing her husband if she died leaving her family in ruins. But there was another person she didn''t know how to face, Grandfather Fu.


    "Old Fu must be highly disappointed in me and our family. I don''t have any courage to face him at this moment." Old Mrs. Bai said in a weary tone.


    "Mum, please don''t worry, we will send him a letter of apology before we leave this city in 2 days. Our house has already been put up for sale, and I believe within 10-15 years, we should be able to recover most of what we have lost." The first son of the Bai family said as he patted the olddy''s shoulder.


    Old Mrs. Baiughed painfully and said to him, "If you are still thinking that our family business can still survive in this country, then you don''t have foresight. Even if we get a new set of investors, who would want to invest in something that will swallow up their money and not give them returns?. Bai Jun''s act has finished us all, so we need to make a new n, but before then, I want Fen to leave this family by tomorrow morning. I don''t want to wake up in the morning and still see her in this house."


    "Yes, mother I will immediately contact mywyer to get the divorce papers ready." The second son of the Bai family said.


    Bai Fen has now seen how bleak her future would be without the Bai family''s help, and immediately fell to the ground to plead for mercy, but no one listened to her.


    "You should have thought about a day like today when you were encouraging your daughter''s forbidden and hideous thoughts. You should have pictured a day like today."


    "There is no need to beg because your life is over. You should probably spend the rest of your life praying for the forgiveness of your daughter''s sin and yours."


    "The only thing the Bai family can help you with is to get the servants to help you pack your things tonight, in case you end up mistakenly taking what is not yours."


    As all kinds of things were said to Bai Fen, she was already lost. That night, she didn''t eat anything, and spent the night in the living room, crying, brooding, and thinking.. It was a really long night for her.

 Chapter 441 - Birthday Plans

    <h4>Chapter 441 - Birthday ns</h4>


    Although FangSu was happy that Bai Jun got retribution for her sins, she was still very much upset about the fact that some people were still mentioning her name alongside Bai Jun.


    Some people recalled that Bai Jun and FangSu were once best of friends for a long time before they separated, and they were talking about their past, which annoyed FangSu as she hated being associated with Bai Jun.


    During dinner, there was a big frown sitting on FangSu''s face. Seeing how upset she was, Fu Hee said to her, "SuSu, there is no need to be upset about the news, it''s just people talking, and at least, some other people are saying that it was good that you separated from Bai Jun early before it becamete, so cheer up."


    Fu Hee was right. As much as some people were speaking about how long FangSu and Bai Jun have been friends before separating, some others apuded FangSu for cutting off ties with Bai Jun on time, before thetter went astray.


    "What is there to be sad about? It''s not like anyone is dragging her online. But the case would have been different if she remained friends with the Bai family''s daughter up till this point." Fu Lei said with a nk look.


    FangSu still didn''t feel better, as one of her life''s regret, was knowing Bai Jun.


    "Our Fu family is still being talked about on the inte given our history with the Bai family." Fu Geming said.


    "But it''s good that everyone knew that we were no longer close to the Bai family before this incident, so all they are going to talk about, is our history together, and what must have caused the estrangement." Fu ChuHua said with a smile.


    Grandfather Fu who has been listening all this while and didn''t say a word since spoke up at this point. "Enough talks about the Bai family and eat. I''m going to throw a big birthday party for my great-granddaughter in 2 weeks, everybody should prepare for it."


    Grandfather Fu''s sudden announcement, sessfully attracted everyone''s attention.


    "Oh my goodness grandfather, you are throwing a party for Da Xia''s first birthday?." FangSu said in excitement.


    Fu Meixu smiled and said, "This is good news. I should really get prepared for this big birthday bash!."


    "Father, we are in full support, and everybody in the family must carry out a special task to ensure the sess of Da Xia''s 1st birthday party." Fu Lei said.


    Fu Ling raised his hand and said with a smile, "I will love to handle the technical aspect of the party."


    "I''m avable for anything." Fu YingPei said with a smile.


    "Everyone will definitely contribute something. Jia Li, have you thought about the theme for Da Xia''s birthday party?."


    At Fu Hee''s question, Jia Li responded with a smile. "Da Xia is her father''s little princess, so I decided to? choose a Princess themed party for her 1st birthday."


    Fu Hua smiled at Jia Li''s thoughtfulness and continued watching over the little bun.


    "Good! Da Xia is our family''s little Princess, and a Princess themed party is the best option for her 1st birthday party." Fu ChuHua said as she pped her hands with a big smile.


    "With Jia Li''s choice, we will set up a n for the princess-themed party, so everyone can carry out the tasks delegated to them." Fu Hee said with a smile.


    Everyone was happy and looking forward to Da Xia''s 1st birthday party.


    "That day is Jia Li''s birthday as well, so something should be added to celebrate her." Grandfather Fu said with a smiling gaze directed at Jia Li.


    "That''s right, we need to celebrate sister-inw as well." Fu YingPei said with a smile.


    "Grandfather, I''m grateful for your idea, but I''m fine with staying on the sidelines. I want my daughter''s 1st birthday to be perfect. I want her to be in the limelight, and there are other years to celebrate together." Jia Li replied.


    On that day, Jia Li wanted all attention to be on her little daughter. She wanted only her to be in the limelight as she wanted a perfect birthday for her, so the party should be solely for her.


    "Sister-inw, won''t that be unfair to you? How can you not be celebrated on your birthday, brother say something!" FangSu asked. No matter how she thought about Jia Li''s reason, it still didn''t sit well with her.


    Fu Hua finally took eyes off the little bun that was gobbling down food all by herself to reply to FangSu.


    "I agree to what Jia Li wants. She is not saying she didn''t want to be celebrated, but she wants Da Xia''s theme party to remain as it is without any alteration."


    "Oh! I get the point now." FangSu said with a smile.


    Jia Li nced at the little bun who was feeding herself with her spoon and couldn''t help but smile. Now wanting her to thank the old man for nning to celebrate her 1st birthday in grand style, Jia Li snatched the spoon from Jasmine just to get her attention, which didn''t sit well with the little bun who was about to cry.


    Jia Li quickly said to the little bun who was already stretching her hands out to grab her spoon back with pouted lips, while gesturing with her hands, "Jasmine, thank great grandPa, he is throwing a big birthday party for you, and there will be lots of food, drinks, balloons, and other fun things."


    Because of her training, Jasmine had a rough idea of what her mother was saying to her with the help of her gestures. The little bun didn''t know what a birthday party was, but she definitely knew what food, drinks, and balloons were as she has been thinking about them, and has seen them numerous times.


    When Jia Li told the little bun to thank her great grandfather, Jasmine nced at Grandfather Fu with an innocent gaze, before nodding her head slightly (Which could be considered a bow) to the amazement of everyone.


    "OMG, did she just bow?" Fu Meixu said with a surprised gaze on the little bun.


    "I guess I didn''t see wrongly as well," FangSu said in astonishment.


    "Good child, you know how to express your thanks at this young age." Fu ChuHua said with a big smile.


    Fu Hua patted the little bun''s hair with a proud smile, while Jia Li caressed her cheeks after giving her spoon back to her.


    Grandfather was over overjoyed with Jasmine''s cute gestures of respect towards him, and praised Jia Li for it, before immediately asking Butler Lu to transfer a huge sum of money into Jia Li''s ount, for the mother and daughter to get nice outfits for themselves.


    Following Grandfather Fu''s footsteps, the rest of the family, immediately transferred some money to Jia Li''s ount.


    The little bun who didn''t care about any other thing apart from food at this moment continued to feed herself.


    (NOTE: Everyone, I''m sorry about the month and Jasmine''s age miss up, and I have corrected it in the previous chapter.. Jasmine is currently 11 months old, and there are 2 weeks left before her 1st birthday and not 6 weeks).

 Chapter 442 - A Rare Opportunity

    <h4>Chapter 442 - A Rare Opportunity</h4>


    Jia Li knew that her little girl was a little spoiled, so she thought that learning little manners at that age wouldn''t be a bad thing, so she thought the little bun things each time they were together.


    At times, she would ask the little bun to repeat some words after her or point at things. Jasmine couldn''t talk, but her ways of babbling could be counted as a response. Just like now, she could call ''b¨¢ba'' which means ''Dad'' in English, and ''m¨¢ma'' which means ''Mum'' in English. And when you are asked who she started calling first from her both parents, who do you think was called first?


    The next morning at the Bai family, Breakfast was served hot for Bai Fen as her husband''swyer arrived very early in the morning with the divorce papers for her to sign.


    There was no need to think twice even if this was not what she wanted, but did she have a choice?


    After signing the divorce papers, Bai Fen nced at the house which once weed her and brought glory to her, and has now turned her back against her. While reminiscing, tears dropped from her eyes. Although she regretted her actions which was somewhat the cause for today''s disaster, her greater thoughts, and regrets, were all the good things she was going to miss as she didn''t know what her fate would be like without the Bai family''s support.


    After ncing at the house one more time, Bai Fen picked up her luggage and left the building, and right outside the house, there was a cab already waiting for her.


    Old Mrs. Bai was the one that asked for a cab to take her out of the Bai family, but only if Bai Fen would be grateful for her actions.


    Immediately after Bai Fen left, the rest of the Bai family members, had breakfast and sat down to n about their future since they could not remain in the City.


    At FJ, good news has just been announced to the Creative Arts department, and more especially to the newbies that made it to be FJ''s Official creative designers, by Sunny.


    The good news is that Fu Hua has given an opportunity to the newbies to participate in the Autumn show. The Top 5 best designs, will be picked, and clothes made out of them will be worn by a model and disyed on the Autumn fashion show.


    This was indeed good news for the newbies as this was a big deal. The Big Boss was letting their works be disyed on the Autumn Fashion show, what a rare privilege and honor.


    But if only the newbies knew that Fu Hua created that opportunity because of his dearest wife, Jia Li, they would surely worship at her feet after getting over the shock.


    When this announcement was made, Jia Li finally understood why Fu Hua asked her not toin he wasn''t taking care of her.


    Although an opportunityy in wait for the 5 lucky designers, they all had to work hard, as they were only given till the end of work that day, to submit their designs.


    The newbies were still getting used to their Big Boss''s way of doing things. He was known to put them under a lot of pressure in other to produce a mind-blowing result, which worked all the time.


    Even when stress came with this rare opportunity of substance, the newbies didn''t dare toin and instead put in all their efforts into creating a design they felt would be the best of all their creation.


    There was one person who was kind of deeply annoyed, and that was Jia Li. She didn''t see today''s stressing after struggling to run away from the little bun who wanted to follow her out in the morning. Jasmine''s cries were capable of pulling down the Fu Mansion, and you can imagine what it would be like to hear her cry especially when she wanted to be stubborn.


    Honestly, Jia Li didn''t think she could pull off creating a new design from her head today no matter how hard she tried.? But luckily, she got an idea.


    Jia Li remembered that she has lots of drafts at home, so she closed her eyes, and began to imagine that she was at the Fu Mansion. In her imagination, she took out her special illustration booklet and started flipping through the pages in search of the perfect design to pick.


    On the middle page, Jia Li stopped to nce at a red dress that looked attractive. Jia Li spent a little time considering if it would fit the Autumn Fashion Show before deciding to go with the illustration.


    After deciding, Jia Li came back to reality and immediately picked up a sketchbook and pencil and began to draw like the rest of her colleagues who started before her.


    After drawing, the next thing was for Jia Li to make her drawinge alive, and so she picked up a red-colored brush pen and began to paint her drawing.


    At the end of work hours, everyone submitted their illustrations before leaving. When Fu Hua came back from work that day, Jia Li keptining to him until he was forced to shut her up with a kiss.


    Jia Li pushed him away and asked with a frown, "Are you trying to bribe me?." And then Fu Hua''s answer came, "No sweetheart I''m not trying to bribe you. I''m doing pure business, and I''m onlyforting you, but I''m sorry for stressing you."


    "Really?." Jia Li asked with a frown. His exnation didn''t help to calm her nerves in any way. Although she respected him for treating her equally with the others, she was still a little annoyed and frustrated with his way of picking the wrong time to stress them. But it was not all his fault.


    "Yes... I''m sorry, I left for work before you and had no idea you had to deal with our little princess beforeing out. If I knew about that, I would have shifted the task to tomorrow, but still, I''m sorry." Fu Hua said while holding Jia Li''s arms.


    Jia Li sighed in return and said, "Forget it, how dare I be angry with you? If my Boss should be another person, I wouldn''t dare toin in his presence no matter how dissatisfied I am, so I''m sorry too, but I really need a massage right now."


    Fu Hua''s eyes immediately lit up at herst sentence, "You need a massage, sure!"

 Chapter 443 - Jia Li Cant Use Her Hands After The Punishment

    <h4>Chapter 443 - Jia Li Can''t Use Her Hands After The Punishment</h4>


    This evening, was surely one of the best for Jia Li as she justy on the bed with her naked back in Fu Hua''s view while receiving a wonderful massage.


    What Fu Hua couldn''t get, is why on earth Jia Li was moaning softly when his hands were just on her back. He didn''t tease her and only massage her back gently.


    "What''s with the moaning?" Fu Hua asked with a low chuckle as he continued to knead her back gently.


    With her eyes still closed, Jia Li replied with a smile, "Your hands make my body feel so good."


    "Thanks for thepliment, but if you don''t stop moaning, I can''t promise you to keep my hands at a ce." Fu Hua said.


    There was no way he wouldn''t feel anything while massaging his wife''s back which was smooth and attractive, and then, she had to add a moaning to it, was she trying to test his patience or how healthy he was?


    "But your hands feel so good on my body, what can I do?." Jia Li asked in a soft tone. This young woman was really stubborn.


    Fu Hua heaved a deep sigh and said to her, "I''m aroused, and do you want to know what I can do at this moment?."


    Jia Li''s eyes immediately flew open, and without thinking twice, she quickly turned over to ask forgetting that her upper body was bare before him.


    "What! Why are you aroused? Is my voice that powerful?."


    As Fu Hua watched Jia Li''s big buns bounce because of the way she turned over, something sparked in his lower region, which immediately sent a message to his neurons. And the message his brain interpreted was, ''Eat her clean, don''t spare her''


    Fu Hua of course went on with his brain''s interpretation and concluded that he was going to eat Jia Li clean no matter what happens.


    "You have tempted me enough, now, don''t cry and beg me to stop, because that won''t work, see what you have done, you need to settle it." Fu Hua said while pointing at his arousal. His little brother was already up, and that was enough to scare Jia Li.


    "My voice is that powerful?." Jia Li asked as she slowly looked up from his arousal.


    "Yes. Stay in bed obediently, I''ming." Fu Hua said as he slowly got off the bed. He wanted to lock the door, and so he walked towards it, but the woman he gave a simple instruction, was already nning to escape.


    ''Stay in bed?.'' Jia Li asked herself. Knowing the danger thates with that instruction, Jia Li ran away, and before Fu Hua could turn around and give her a chase, she has already run into the bathroom and locked the door.


    "Jia Li!." Fu Hua called out to his wife in a frustrated tone. He couldn''t believe his little woman would dare to run away after arousing him.


    "I''m sorry, but you will have to take care of yourself, I can''t help you." Jia Li said with a smile as she took off her clothes and got into the shower, not minding that he called her by her name.


    "Did you do this on purpose?." Fu Hua asked in a frustrated tone while still standing in front of the door to the bathroom.


    "How can I bear to that? Husband, you are the best, and I''m sure you can handle that yourself." Jia Li replied in a raised tone because the sound of the shower was strong to swallow her words.


    Fu Hua looked down at his little brother which was still standing at attention and touched it, before removing his hands.


    "Can you at least bath quickly?." Fu Hua said with a frown.


    "Of course, give me a minute." Jia Li replied quickly.


    Five minutester, Jia Li was done bathing. She wrapped a towel around her body and one around her hair and walked out of the bathroom only to see Fu Hua standing there with a frown.


    "You were still here?." Jia Li asked with her gaze on him. Just now when she came out, her gaze identally met his erection, and she was kind of surprised that he hasn''t calmed down for a bit.


    "So you think you can escape from me?." Fu Hua asked with a frown.


    Jia Li smiled sheepishly and looked past him to see if there was an escape route. "What do you mean?"


    Fu Hua could obviously tell her thoughts, and so he blocked her waypletely. "Do you think I would let you escape this time around, no way! Come with me."


    As Fu Hua finished saying hisst sentence, he immediately took her hand and pulled her back into the bathroom much to Jia Li''s horror.


    During dinner, Jia Li couldn''t hold her spoon properly because it was very heavy for her. The spoon kept weighing her down and dropping on the te which frustrated her greatly.


    "Jia Li is something wrong with your hands?." Fu Meixu asked with her gaze on Jia Li.


    Fu Meixu''s question attracted a lot of attention to Jia Li because they could all see her struggling to eat.


    Jia Li was embarrassed at the question and all the stares on her. At this point, she was tempted to re at Fu Hua, but she knew if she did that, they would suspect something else.


    "I''m tired, I did a lot of tasks at work today." Jia Li replied as she rubbed her palms together.


    "Fu Hua, how are you taking care of your wife?." Fu Lei asked with a frown. Fu Lei was angry that his son wasn''t looking after his wife properly, and let her get overworked in his watch.


    Fu Hua nced at his father before ncing back at Jia Li without a smile. "The task assigned to her was special, and I think she wouldn''t want any other person to carry it out since she would earn more points from it."


    "Still, you have to look after her. Look at how Li girl is tired out, you can eat very well, but she can''t. You... just stop eating and feed her to her satisfaction.." Grandfather Fu ordered with a frown.

 Chapter 444 - Cry For Milk

    <h4>Chapter 444 - Cry For Milk</h4>


    How could Jia Li allow Fu Hua to feed her in front of everyone, that would be embarrassing? She immediately rejected Grandfather Fu''s order.


    "Grandfather don''t worry, I''m fine." Jia Li said with a smile.


    "How can you be fine, you have barely touched your food. Just let Fu Hua feed you since he caused all these troubles, don''t be shy." Fu Hee said with a smile.


    Fu Hua smiled inwardly. He was really having fun seeing his wife in that awkward situation. He didn''t pity her, because she was at fault for arousing him and trying to escape. He had to teach her a fair season in the bathroom, and hence, the oue of her muscle weakness.


    Jia Li was still saying ''no'' to Fu Hee when Fu Hua brought a spoon of food to her mouth. Jia Li nced at him with a nk look, but suddenly became annoyed when she noticed the smirk on his lips.


    "Are you angry with me? If you don''t like the tasks I give to you, should I keep the points to myself, or freely give it to another person?." Fu Hua asked to the hearing of everyone.


    Jia Li quickly opened her mouth to receive the food with a re. Fu Hua''s threat was sure to work on her. No one else knew the true meaning of the tasks and points they have been talking about, only both of them knew about it.


    "Good girl." Fu Hua said with a smile before going on to bring another spoonful of food towards her mouth.


    "Eat." Jia Li said to him. He was just feeding her without eating anything, and it was a surprise that she was still worried about him despite the grudges she had against him.


    "Grandfather said I should stop eating and feed you first, so eat up." Fu Hua replied with a smiling gaze.


    "Are youining?." Grandfather Fu asked with a frown.


    "No grandfather." Fu Hua replied and continued to feed Jia Li.


    "This is your punishment for bullying Li girl. You can''t eat until the food in her te all goes into her stomach, and you have to feed her properly." Grandfather Fu added with a frown.


    "Yes, grandfather." Fu Hua replied with a smile and continues to feed Jia Li.


    Jia Li on the other hand was so embarrassed that she didn''t dare to raise her head and only sat obediently to eat the food Fu Hua brought to her mouth.


    "Sister-inw, let''s go to the spa on Saturday, and then we can go shopping after that," FangSu said with a smile.


    She thought it would be fun to go to the beauty spa and to shop for clothes in thepany of her sister-inw and her cousin.


    Since Jia Li already had an appointment with Fu Hua on Saturday, she nced at him to seek his opinion. Fu Hua met her gaze and nodded in response.


    Then Jia Li looked back at FangSu and replied, "Okay."


    Seeing the exchange between Jia Li and Fu Hua, Fu Hee thought that Fu Hua was controlling her and immediately asked, "Jia Li, is Hua bullying you? If he does that, don''t hesitate toin to us or to his grandfather to put him in the right ce."


    "Sweetheart, did I bully you?." Fu Hua asked Jia Li with a smiling gaze. He was referring to the punishment he gave to her for toiling with his feelings, and Jia Li understood him.


    How could Jia Li say that he truly bullied her, but because she bullied him first? That would be childish, so she went on to exin the reason for their exchange.


    "Mum is a misunderstanding. We were supposed to go to the massage parlor together on Saturday, but now I had to seek his permission to cancel on him."


    "Oh..." Fu Hee said and went back to eating her food.


    Today, Jasmine was absent from the dining table, because she yed tillte in the evening and fell asleep.


    The little bun has made great progress in her physical activities. Jasmine was so strong right now that she could engage in a thug of war. Snatching things from her was a difficult task especially when she doesn''t want to let go.


    Jasmine could now stand on her own without holding onto anything, but she was yet to take the first step on her own, which was already great progress. And one thing the family has learned was not to rush her to take those first steps. Instead, they would encourage her and p for her when she got up by herself.


    Something funny about the cute little chubby bun was that she still puts anything she gets her hands on, in her mouth. She was so small, but her eyes are very sharp to see little things on the floor, or maybe it''s because she is close to the floor ????


    When Jasmine sees that little stuff, she would lean over and try to pick them up with her fingers. Next, she would take a look at it, before putting it in her mouth.


    And now when you study her actions, you begin to wonder what''s the use of stressing herself to look at those things when she would still put them in her mouth? Maybe she just wants to have a good look at what is about to enter her little mouth.


    After the family dinner, the little bun woke up, and so Fu Hua had to feed her. Jasmine was still feeling a little sleepy, so she let her father feed her before he went to the workshop to do some work.


    After eating adult food, she wanted her milk, but Jia Li refused to give any to her, and so she started crying. Atst, Jia Li pumped some milk for her in her bottle before passing it to her, but the little bun hit the bottle off her hand.


    "Like seriously?." Jia Li asked in an annoyed tone.


    Jasmine continued to cry while putting up her hands in the air, she wanted her mother to carry her.


    "No milk for you! If you don''t want to drink from the bottle, then you have to forget about it." Jia Li said to the little bun.


    Jasmine was sitting on the bed crying, and when she heard her mother say that, she fell back on the bed and continued to cry.


    "You can cry if you want, it''s not bad to cry, and it''s good your father is not here to take pity on you.." Jia Li said and picked up the bottle of milk from the floor.

 Chapter 445 - Bai Fen In Her Brothers Place

    <h4>Chapter 445 - Bai Fen In Her Brother''s ce</h4>


    Jasmine didn''t have her father to defend her, so she continued to wail, while Jia Li asked a servant to get her bath things ready.


    As the little bun was crying too much, Jia Li went to lift her in her arms. Jasmine thought that finally, her mother would agree to feed her milk directly, but it turned out that she was only going to hold her in her arms.


    Jasmine sniffed as she pulled her mother''s shirt before ncing up at her. The little bun looked really pitiful.


    "Why do you keep doing this to me all the time? You just finished eating adult food, so why would you want to drink milk now, are you trying to overfeed yourself?." Jia Li asked with an annoyed gaze on the little bun who was still pulling her shirt.


    Jasmine pouted her lips and nced at her mother pitifully. She looked like she was going to start crying again.


    "M¨¡m¨¡" Jasmine called out in a teary incoherent tone as she leaned her head on her shoulder.


    "This girl, you really know how to use someone. You are not even up to a year old and you''re acting like this. Who thought you to act like this?." Jia Li questioned the little bum with a frown.


    Jasmine was trying to get what she wanted by acting so smart, she even called out to her mother pitifully to achieve her goals.


    Finally, Jia Li gave in, but not immediately. She told the little bun to have patience until after her bath before she could have her milk.


    "...if you cry, I won''t give you any." Jia Li threatened. Jasmine was already about to kick up a fuss when Jia Li shushed her.


    The little bun with her tear-stained cheeks stared at her mother with a finger in her mouth. Jasmine looked so cute especially with her hair tied in 2 buns plus the way she gazed at her mother.


    After bathing and dressing her up, Jia Li thought the little bun would have forgotten about her milk, but that was a big lie. She still sought for her milk which Jia Li gave to her.


    ''It looks like we have to start sleeping in separate bedrooms.'' Jia Li thought.


    The next time Jasmine asked for her milk, Jia Li did not answer her and left her to cry to her satisfaction. When she got tired from crying, the little bun refused her mother to carry her as she still bore a grudge against her.


    Instead of going to her mother, the little bun crawled to her father''s feet, next, she held his leg as support and got up.


    Fu Hua smiled when his little daughter came to him, and he immediately picked her up and ced her on his thighs before proceeding to deliver kisses to her face. When the mother and daughter were engaged in their feud, he didn''t dare to interrupt, so his wife wouldn''t be pissed off at him.


    That day Bai Fen left the Bai Mansion, she asked the taxi driver to take her straight to the prison so she could set her eyes on Bai Jun, but she was not granted permission to see her. If it were to be in the past, Bai Fen would have bragged about her identity in a situation like this, but the good old days were long gone.


    Bai Fen was furious that she wasn''t allowed to see her only child whom she has been worried about. And when she asked why she couldn''t see her, she was told she was not permitted to see her till a weekter.


    Bai Fen had to leave the prison in disappointment. When she got back into the cab, she asked the cab driver to take her to her brother''s house, and when they got to the address, Her brother was not at home, but she was allowed into the house by a servant who helped her with her luggage.


    When Bai Fen''s brother and his family came home that day, they were surprised to see Bai Fen there, because she didn''t call beforeing over., and coupled with the fact that were unaware of Bai Fen''s divorce.


    Bai Fen immediately burst into tears when she saw her brother. She immediately went over to his side to hug him while crying bitterly. Her brother thought she was crying because of Bai Jun, andforted her a little even though he was greatly disappointed with her.


    It was not until a servant walked in and notified Bai Fen that her clothes has been sorted did her brother notice that something was wrong.


    "Did youe here with your things?." Her brother asked with a frown.


    "Sister-inw, why would you leave the Bai family ande here to stay?." Bai Fen''s sister-inw asked in surprise.


    "I was asked to sign the divorce papers and was chased out of the house." Bai Fen replied as her eyes became teary again


    "Why should only you bear the consequences of not raising your daughter well, why would they chase you out of their family? I''m going to find the people of the Bai family once I''m through with my meeting tomorrow afternoon." Bai Fen''s brother said angrily.


    He couldn''t ept the fact that his sister was thrown out of the Bai family because of Bai Jun''s actions and current situation. Even if he did not support his sister because of her ugly side, he still felt that both his sister and his brother-inw should bear the responsibility of not raising their daughter well.


    Bai Fen remembered that she has already signed the divorce papers, and immediately said, "Brother, there is nothing you can do to bring me back to the Bai family and because I have already signed the divorce papers before I was chased out of the house."


    "What, you already signed the divorce papers? Sister-inw why would you do that?." Bai Fen''s sister-inw asked with a frown.


    "Fen, did you lose your senses? How could you sign the divorce papers when you don''t have anywhere to go to or ns about your future?." Her brother asked.


    Bai Fen sniffed and replied, "Brother, you are the only family I have, and that is the reason I came over to your ce.. My husband threatened to kill me if I didn''t sign the divorce papers, so I had no choice."

 Chapter 446 - Sent Away

    <h4>Chapter 446 - Sent Away</h4>


    Bai Fen''s brother was notfortable with his sister staying in his ce for who knows how long. He didn''t like his sister''s character for one bit, but it was not like he would throw her out of his house when she was already going through a lot.


    But his decision didn''t sit well with his wife who immediately called his attention. Sheined and said that Bai Fen can not stay with them in the same house.


    "I also do not agree with hering over, but what should I do, it''s not like I can throw her and her things outside thiste at night, she is still my sister regardless."


    "I don''t care what you do, but your sister can not live in the same house with us, she would corrupt our children and ruin the peace in our family. But if you insist on her staying here even after a week, I will leave the house for you 2 siblings to bond and reminisce."


    "Ah! It has note to that. Give me a little time to pay a visit to the Bai family before I can rent a ce for my sister to stay." Bai Fen''s brother said to his wife.


    "I''m giving you a week at most, Bai Fen can not stay here past a week. I don''t want her to ruin my family the same way she ruined hers." After saying this, Bai Fen''s brother watched his wife match into the bathroom angrily.


    Bai Fen''s brother sighed tiredly and sat on the bed. There was no way he was going to allow his sister to live in the same house with his family because she will cause a lot of trouble. And now that his wife has given him time to send her out of the house, he has to meet the Bai family soon.


    Four dayster, everyone curious about the Bai family, heard another news that blew their minds. The Bai family secretly sold theirpany and their shares and left China to another country which they have not been able to find out.


    The public also found out about Bai Fen being divorced and thrown out of the Bai family. These new findings sparked new reactions from many people.


    A few of them who didn''t know the real truth said that the Bai family was cruel because they abandoned Bai Fen, while a great number of them, said that Bai Fen should have been thrown out a long time ago since there were rumors about her being the reason the Bai family came to their current situation.


    Since the Bai family knew they couldn''t revive their business, they had to leave the country, and because they didn''t want Bai Fen to know of their ns, they chased her away on time, and now they ce that used to be known as the Bai family''s mansion, has now been sold to someone.


    After finding out this news, Bai Fen''s brother confirmed that truly, Bai Fen couldn''t live in his house, so he found another ce for her to stay in.


    When Bai Fen was told by her brother that he found a house for her, and for her to move out the next day, the former was unhappy and used her brother of hating her and dealing with her in her moments of anguish.


    "How can you ask me to leave your house just like the others, you are my only family!." Bai Fen said to him in tears.


    "Fen, don''t make it seem like I don''t care for you. I found a ce for you to live, and I have paid for everything, now what else do you have toin about?." Her brother asked with a deep frown.


    Bai Fen stared angrily at him and said, "Why do I have to leave your house? You know I need moral support given my situation, so why are you driving me away? You don''t want to share in my burden?."


    Bai Fen''s brother became furious at her words. He pointed a finger at her and scolded her badly. "Why should I share in your burden, did I ask you not to teach your daughter properly, or did I ask you to destroy your home? Since you got married into the Bai family, have I ever asked you to do something wrong, and have I ever contributed to any of your actions? The answer to these questions is no! I have never done any of that, so why should I share in your burden?."


    Seeing that her brother was angry, Bai Fen became silent. She almost forgot her situation and the fact that she had no right to demand anything.


    "Fen, you are ungrateful and I can not live with someone like you. The most I can do is to help you financially, but not for long. I have found a house for you and equipped it with pieces of furniture and foodstuffs. For the next 2 months, someone will help you to clean and cook, so you cane out of your frustrating frame of mind. After 2 months, you will start to foot your bills by yourself. The servants will help you pack your things this night, and you will live after breakfast tomorrow."


    After speaking with Bai Fen, he walked away.


    Bai Fen broke down in tears again. She didn''t want to leave her brother''s house as she didn''t think she could survive alone. She was thinking of her life after the 2 months of grace from her brother. She has never worked in her life, and now, she will get to taste how difficult life was.


    The next morning, which was Saturday morning, the cab Bai Fen''s brother arranged, came to take Bai Fen to her new ce.


    To Bai Fen''s surprise and horror, the ce her brother rented for her, was not in the main city, but somewhere people of the average level and below lived.


    The ce Bai Fen was staying now, was a 2 bedroom t, which was not to her taste. She has lived in mansions all her life, and this was the first time she got to live in a small ce, and that could be till the end of her life.


    Bai Fen was so angry that she called her brother toin about the house and the location of the house, but got scolded at the end.


    "You are really ungrateful! Why don''t you find another person to help your stupid life if you don''t like my ways? If you call me toin to me again, I will take back everything I have ever given to you!."

 Chapter 447 - Bai Fen And Bai Jun Finally Meet Up

    <h4>Chapter 447 - Bai Fen And Bai Jun Finally Meet Up</h4>


    Bai Fen was forced to adjust to her new lifestyle, and it was not like she had a choice. After a week passed, given the day she was told she could visit her daughter, Bai Fen immediately left for the prison after bringing a lot of food for Bai Jun.


    When Bai Fen got to the prison, she was told that she couldn''t give the food she brought to Bai Jun, because food was not allowed from outside. As if that was not enough blow to Bai Fen, she was only given 20 minutes to see Bai Jun.


    Bai Fen was frustrated with the whole situation, and finally broke down in tears when she saw Bai Jun walk over with 2 prison guards acting as escorts. There were few visible scars on Bai Jun''s face when Bai Fen got a clearer view of her.


    The first thing Bai Jun did when she saw her mother, was to run to her and cry with tears rolling down her cheeks while begging her to take her out of that ce.


    "Mum, please save me, I''m being bullied here. This ce has terrible living conditions. Since I got in here, I have only showered twice, and I''m being forced to work so hard every day that my palms are so rough! The food here is terrible, and I can''t even sleep properly!."


    "It''s okay." Bai Fen said in tears while hugging her daughter. She couldn''t believe how much suffering her daughter was going through, while she at least, had a ce to rest her head, someone to cook and clean for her, and also good food prepared and served for her.


    Seeing how much her daughter was suffering, Bai Fen was forced to agree that she was truly living in luxury, and was not appreciative of her brother''s assistance.


    "Mum, this is not okay! Look at me, am I not smelling? Look at my face, I''m being pped and bullied if I don''t listen to the prisoner Bosses here, look at my skin, look at my lips. Mum, please get me out of here! What of father, and grandmother? You have to plead with them to help me out of here!." Bai Jun cried out inints after releasing her mother from the hug.


    Never in Bai Jun''s life would she have imagined that one day, she would go to jail. She never imagined herself being locked up in jail with different calibers of people. Instead of seeing a prison yard as a ce to hold criminals, she saw it as a ce for the paupers and people way out of her league, and this could be one of the reasons she never considered the fact that she could be caught andnd in jail.


    Hearing her daughter mention the Bai family members, Bai Fen finally sat down and broke down in tears. Bai Jun being surprised by her outburst ced a hand on her shoulder and asked in a worried tone, "Mum, what''s wrong, why are you crying?."


    Bai Fen slowly looked up at her and wiped her tears before slowly revealing the truth to her. "Jun, your father divorced me and I was driven out of the family."


    "What!" Bai Jun eximed in shock. This news came as a shock to her because she never imagined the consequences of her actions if she was caught.


    Bai Jun still couldn''t understand while her father and the Bai family chose to abandon her and her mother at this period. She still thought with all the crimes shemitted, she would still be forgiven and given only a little punishment. But now that her punishment formitting a crime was being abandoned, she thought it was unfair to her and her mother.


    "Jun, as we are talking now, I have no idea where your father and the rest of the Bai family are. I heard from the news that they sold the house,pany, and shares and left the country to start a new life." Bai Fen revealed in a shaky tone.


    Bai Fen still found her current condition unbelievable. As she thought about the whole Bai family stuff, it still felt weird to her, that something like this could happen.


    "Dad and his family left us here to suffer and left to go fend for themselves?." Bai Jun asked in anger.


    "This is the situation we found ourselves in. I was driven out of the house without a dime. No properties, no Will, no money, nothing at all. I only managed to get a few of your things, and now, I have to pay off your debt to FJ Styles within 3 weeks." Bai Fen said in agony.


    The fine Bai Jun had to pay was not a little sum of money, and if hers and her mother''s money were added together, it still wouldn''t be enough to pay off her debt.


    "Mum, how are we going to get the money? Were you able to get my car, we can sell it and add the money to the one we have, and then it should be enough to pay off the debt." Bai Jun suggested.


    "I have said so much to already and you still didn''t get the main point. I said the Bai family didn''t leave anything for us! The only let us go with our little properties, and nothing else!." Bai Fen said with a deep frown.


    Bai Jun took a seat and said with a frown, "This is too much, the Bai family really went too far. No alimony was given to you, and no property was left for me, are they expecting us to die?."


    Bai Fen heaved a deep sigh and replied, "Jun, I don''t know what to say or do about our situation. I''m scared to ask my brother for money because he is already very angry with giving me a little allowance plus the amodation and feeding."


    "This all the Fu family''s fault, this is all brother Hua''s fault! If I wasn''t treated badly, I would not have thought about doing what I did." Bai Jun said in a grievance. She still med Fu Hua and the Fu family for the reason she turned out this way.


    Bai Fen shook her head and said to her, "No, it''s not their fault, it''s mine!."

 Chapter 448 - Bai Fen Confesses The Truth

    <h4>Chapter 448 - Bai Fen Confesses ''The Truth''</h4>


    "Mum, what do you mean it''s your fault? You didn''t do anything wrong, the Fu family offended us first! I was supposed to get married to Brother Fu, but he got married to someone else, while I was busy harboring and growing my feelings for him! Whonded me in this state?!." Bai Jun asked angrily.


    Bai Jun was angered every time she thought about this fact. As a little girl, while growing up, she had her own fair share of fantasies, and one of her fantasies was to get married to Fu Hua. But after she left the country to further her studies, those fantasies slowly died but didn''t die offpletely.


    Now when her mother called her to tell her that she would be getting married to Fu Hua and their marriage had already been arranged, those feelings for Fu Hua she forgot existed, slowly started to rekindle.


    Every day, Bai Jun would fantasize about a different scene with Fu Hua in her head, and that was how her love for him, grew to be very strong and unshakable, and that was the reason she still wanted to be with him after she found out that he was already married.


    Bai Jun has always thought that Fu Hua and the Fu family toiled with her feelings and emotions, and that was why she tried to get revenge on them after she failed to get Fu Hua''s attention, without knowing that everything was her mother''s fault.


    Bai Fen''s eyes became teary again. She was tired of letting others take the me for her greed, cunning acts, and foolishness, so she decided to spill the whole truth about their marriage with Fu Hua back then.


    "Fu Hee talked about Fu Hua settling down soon since she was worried about him still being single at his age back then... an idea came to me to get you married into the Fu family, so I deliberately mentioned you getting married immediately aftering back to the country... I mentioned all your achievements and every good thing about you in a bid to get Fu Hee to talk about you getting married to Fu Hua since you were single, and I nned on settling you down as I didn''t mind your age. My ns worked and... before Fu Hee could get home that day, Old Mr. Fu had already arranged for Fu Hee and Jia Li to get married, and totally rejected the union between you two when Fu Hee mentioned it..."


    Bai Fen went on to exin everything that really went on. She talked about how she washed Fu Hee''s brain, so she could keep supporting her in trying to get her (Bai Jun) and Fu Hua to be together despite Fu Hua already being married.


    Bai Fen exined everything, including the part where Fu Hee lost her title and was almost thrown out of the Fu family because of her, and down till the point Fu Hee gave up on the matter.


    It was truly a shock to Bai Jun to learn about the other side of the story. She was beyond shocked to the point that she couldn''t even speak again.


    All this while Bai Jun had been ming and hating on the members of the Fu family for toiling with her emotions, she didn''t know her dearest mother was the Genesis of everything, and as she said earlier, she was at fault. If she didn''t let greed get over her, none of her (Bai Jun) actions would have happened, and she wouldn''t be locked in jail.


    Although Bai Jun still liked Fu Hua a lot before the marriage with him came up, she wouldn''t have had hatred for Jia Li or the members of the Fu family if the marriage talk wasn''t mentioned and she finds out Fu Hua was married when she returned to China.


    The only thing Bai Jun would have done if the situation went this way, was that she would only be jealous of Bai Jun in her mind, and that''s all, no hatred would be attached. But since the marriage between her and Fu Hua was brought up to her by her mother, she invested her emotions into Fu Hua but got disappointed at the end, and that was what led to her present actions.


    "Mum, are you really trying to say that you brought this upon me?." Bai Jun asked with a stupefied gaze. She just wanted to wake up from the terrible dream if possible. It was really hard for her to believe that her mother was the genesis of all her problems.


    Now that she thought hard about it, she could no longer refute that her mother, also had her own ideas with her getting married to Fu Hua because she always supported her even while she was wrong with her actions and feelings.


    ''Which mother will support her daughter loving another woman''s husband, and having ideas of getting married to him?'' Bai Jun thought with a horrified gaze on her mother.


    Staring into her daughter''s eyes, Bai Fen was able to see the me, anguish, disappointment, and hatred that were slowly building up in Bai Jun''s sight. Bai Fen became afraid of Bai Jun''s reaction.


    Bain Fen stretched her hands to sp Bai Jun''s, but thetter flung her hands away.


    "Don''t touch me! Mum, how could you be this cruel to me? You fueled my emotions, your hurt my feelings and emotions, you destroyed me, and you finally sent me to prison, what did I ever do wrong to you?!" Bai Jun asked as she clutched her chest.


    She was so hurt by the revtion, that she was starting to feel pains in her heart. She couldn''t believe her own mother led her to her current state.


    "Jun, I''m sorry, I was wrong. I only wanted the best for you at that time." Bai Fen said with a tone of regret. How could she not regret her actions after seeing how much her daughter was suffering?


    "Is the best you wanted for me now good enough for you?.''" Bai Jun asked while pointing at her current state. She had messy hair, dry skin, chapped lips, rough palms, visible scars on her face, and she smelled. So Bai Jun was asking her if she was satisfied with her current condition.

 Chapter 449 - Fu Huas Money

    <h4>Chapter 449 - Fu Hua''s Money</h4>


    Bai Fen saw the clear hatred in her daughter''s eyes and became afraid of losing her. "No Jun, I didn''t mean for all of these. I wanted to help you get into the Fu family because I know you would love it."


    Bai Jun chuckled angrily and replied, "You are right, I loved it so much that I almost went crazy. Mum, I don''t want to see you again. I don''t need your love and care, as you can see, I''m already basking in your previous love."


    As Bai Jun was saying herst sentence, she was standing to her feet. Bai Fen was scared of the oue of this whole thing and got up from her seat as well.


    "Jun, why are you saying these? You are the only family I have left, we need each other. And I will help you to get out of here." Bai Fen said with tears in her eyes. She could tell how much her daughter was suffering, and now after confessing to her, she was starting to regret it. Maybe she should have left things the way they were.


    "I don''t need you! Go and pay FJ''s debt yourself, and don''t you dare touch my money! I can''t believe my mother is the sole reason I ended up in jail." Bai Jun chuckled bitterly and turned to leave. Bai Fen tried to follow her, but the prison guards, came back to block her from following Bai Jun.


    "Jun, I''m sorry, I didn''t mean for all of these, I regret it!." Bai Fen cried out with a teary gaze on her daughter''s back, but Bai Jun didn''t react and continued walking away.


    Atst, when the prison guards left her, she fell on the floor and cried really hard. She was regretting saying the truth, and she regretted her actions from the very beginning. She shouldn''t have yed tricks just to get her daughter married into the Fu family, and now, her daughter was paying for her sins.


    Bai Jun went back to her cell filled with hurt. She has always thought that Fu Hua belonged to her and that Jia Li snatched him from her, but it looks like things were different. Learning that Fu Hua and Jia Li had already been arranged to get married before Fu Hee and her mother brought up that topic, she didn''t know what to feel.


    She has been busy hating the Fu family members for toiling with her emotions, without knowing that her mother was the architect of everything.


    Finding out that the Fu family wasn''t at fault, did notpletely stop Bai Jun from still hating them. She just learned this news, so it will take a while for her to lose the knot in her heart.


    Bai Fen was asked to leave the prison because she was causing amotion by crying there. When she finally stepped out of the prison premises, there were only regret and suffering written on her face.


    Bai Fen walked for more than 20 minutes before taking a taxi. In the taxi, she thought about how Bai Jun was suffering while she was still living a good life because of her brother''s help. She cried with a hand over her mouth as she truly regretted her actions.


    ''I shouldn''t have had this idea in the first ce!'' Bai Fen thought. She was talking about the idea of marrying Bai Jun into the Fu family. She was really regretting it now.


    Today being Saturday, FangSu dragged Jia Li and Meixu to go shopping with her. She was so hyper about it that Fu Meixu asked if she was going to pay for their stuff.


    "I still haven''t recovered from the hole you made in my pocket, so why should I pay for your bills?." FangSu asked while rolling her eyes.


    "Why did you drag us to go shopping with you when you are not going to foot our bills, who does that?." Fu Meixu asked with a frown.


    "I just needed you toe along. If you don''t want want to pay for your bills, you can just watch us shop to our hearts'' content. I really do not have any money, so, I can only afford to pay for our spa treatment." FangSu said as all three of them walked outside the house.


    "You don''t have any money?." Jia Li asked with a surprised gaze on FangSu.


    "Yes Sister-inw, I''m poor," FangSu replied.


    Jia Li didn''t seem to understand the reason FangSu said she was poor, because she was a daughter of the Fu family, and should have stipends every month from the family. Jia Li didn''t understand things until Fu Meixu just exined FangSu''s situation to her.


    "Jia Li, FangSu is a poor heiress who doesn''t receive money from our family. Since thest trouble she caused, all financial support was cut off, so now, she has to rely on her hard work."


    Hearing her cousin talk about her embarrassing situation out loud, FangSu was angry, but not at her. She was angry and med Bai Jun for her present situation.


    "Bai Jun is to be med for this! She washed my brain and used me, and I was blind to follow her lead." FangSu said out loud.


    "Stop ming Bai Jun for everything, you are at fault as well. Why would you listen to your friend instead of your brother and Grandfather, you were really blind as you said." Fu Meixu said without a care.


    FangSu knew she was to be med as well, but hearing it directly from Meixu''s mouth made her angry.


    Jia Li saw that the cousins were about to fight and immediately intervened.


    "Can we leave already, I will foot the bills for today." Jia Li said with a frown.


    FangSu forgot about her anger and immediately nced at Jia Li with a brightened-up gaze. "Sister-inw are you serious about footing the bills?."


    Fu Meixu also gazed at Jia Li with a smile. She was happy that Jia Li was going to foot her bills.


    "I''m serious about it. It''s not bad if we all spend Fu Hua''s money, so let''s leave already." Jia Li replied.


    When Fu Meixu heard it was her big cousin''s money they were going to spend, her smile slowly disappeared. This means that she had to curtail her big appetite as she was afraid of getting killed with a re from Fu Hua.


    "I heard you calling my name, what''s up?.." Fu Hua asked from behind their backs with the little bun in his arms.

 Chapter 450 - Shop Shop Shop

    <h4>Chapter 450 - Shop Shop Shop</h4>


    The three young women turned around to see Fu Hua behind them. They were surprised as they had been busy conversing and didn''t notice himing over.


    "Oh! I was talking about spending your money." Jia Li replied.


    "M¨¡m¨¡..." Jasmine called out to Jia Li as she stretched her little hands out to her.


    "Take Jasmine with you. I asked her if she wanted to follow you, and she nodded, so I quickly got her dressed." Fu Hua said as he handed the little bun over to the surprised Jia Li.


    When Jia Li left the father and daughter in the room after dressing up, the little bun still had her gaze on the door even after her mother had left.


    Fu Hua noticed her gaze lingering on the door, so he leaned over to her and asked if she wanted to follow her mother, and the little bun nodded adorably and called out "M¨¡m¨¡"


    "I will get you dressed up now." Fu Hua said with a smile as he lifted the little bun from the bed and carried her into the walk-in closet.


    "Da Xia ising with us? That''s great!." FangSu pped her hands excitedly. She was happy the little bun wasing with them.


    "You wanted toe with me?." Jia Li asked the little bun who had a neutral gaze.


    Jasmine smacked her lips instead of replying, which was a good response anyways.


    "I asked the kitchen for her snacks because I don''t trust the things outside. Which car are you going out in?." Fu Hua asked as a servant approached them with a cute lunch box in her hand, and another one carrying Jasmine''s folded stroller.


    "We are going in Sister-inw''s car," FangSu said from the side, and so the servant took Jasmine''s stroller towards Jia Li''s car, while Fu Meixu took Jasmine''s lunch box from the other servant.


    "Call me if there is anything." Fu Hua said after he kissed the mother and daughter on their cheeks.


    "Jasmine say goodbye to daddy." Jia Li said to the little bun while gesturing to her. Jasmine followed her and waved at Fu Hua.


    "Bye Princess." Fu Hua said with a smile as he waved back to the little bun.


    Today, the little bun was obedient, and she was not overly active. Jia Li carried her towards her car and put her in her car seat after FangSu opened the car door for her.


    "Who is driving?." FangSu asked.


    "I will," Meixu said with a smile and she walked towards the drivers'' side of the car and got in. Finally being able to sit in the car she has been admiring and even get to drive it, Meixu felt satisfied.


    "Okay, then I will look after Da Xia," FangSu said and got into the car to sit next to the little bun happily.


    "Hello, Da Xia," FangSu said as she waved at the little bun with a smile. Jasmine nced at her hand before ncing at her face, and then she smiled at her.


    "You cute little bun," FangSu said with a big smile as she thought how good of an idea it was to sit next to her niece.


    Jia Li passed the watermelon teether to Jasmine before getting into the front passenger seat. The little bun yed with her together before putting it into her mouth.


    Throughout the ride from the house to the shopping mall, FangSu yed with the little bun and conversed with her.


    On getting to the shopping mall, FangSu carried the little bun in her arms while Fu Meixu pushed the empty stroller, and in Jia Li''s hands,id Jasmine''s lunch box.


    Jasmine was curious about a lot of things as FangSu carried her into the mall. She kept pointing and babbling about things that fascinated her, and FangSu paid attention to her.


    When FangSu wanted to pick some items for herself, she finally let the little bun go. She ced her in her stroller, and Jia Li took over to take care of her.


    Jia Li opened the lunch box and took out a piece of rice cake and handed it to the little bun. Next, she brought out her water and gave it to her as well.


    There was a space in the stroller, so Jia Li put her lunch box there and proceeded to push the stroller


    While sittingfortably in her stroller and eating her rice cake, the little bun watched her Aunties pick dresses and try them on.


    If FangSu tries on a new dress, she would twirl in front of the little bun and ask her if the dress was pretty.


    Jasmine will either ignore her, p her hands excitedly, or babble while pointing at the dress.


    Looking at the two of themmunicating, Jia Li couldn''t help but smile as she remembered when FangSu has not still been redeemed. Thinking of the past, Jia Li didn''t believe that FangSu would have a good rtionship with her daughter.


    FangSu was the symbol of a good Aunt to her niece.


    After shopping for a while in that section, they went to the men''s section to get some things for the main in their families.


    FangSu specially picked something out for Zhang Junjie without anyone knowing because it was taken that she was picking out clothes for Fu Ling.


    After shopping, Jia Li paid for everything and had their shopping bags sent back to the Fu Vi, while they continued hanging out.


    "I''m hungry, let''s find something to eat." Fu Meixu said as she drove with her gaze moving around. She was looking for a good restaurant close by.


    "I know a ce close here, their services are topnotch," FangSu suggested and they all decided to try that ce out.


    And so the next few minutes, three and a halfdies were sitting around one table in a cozy restaurant.


    There was no high seat for Jasmine, so Jia Li had to sit her on her thighs. The little bun really wanted to sit on her own, but Jia Li exined to her that there was no baby seat for her, and so she obediently let her mother hold her.


    "I love this ce already." Fu Meixu said with a smile as she looked around.


    "I know right... You know, you can just thank me directly for bringing you to this ce.." FangSu said with a cheeky smile.

 Chapter 451 - Ice Cream

    <h4>Chapter 451 - Ice Cream</h4>


    "Thank you my feet!" Fu Meixu said and immediately called for a waiter toe and take their orders.


    When the food was served, Jasmine became excited and stretched her hands towards the nearest te close to her to pick the food herself, but Jia Li stopped her.


    "No don''t touch it, I will feed you." Jia Li said to her in a soft tone. The little bun nced at her mother, looked back at the food, and then smacked her lips while pping her hands.


    "My Niece is so cute," FangSu said with excitement in her voice.


    "I hope she remains cute like this." Jia Li said as she used her spoon to mash some mixed rice before giving it to the little bun. She said that because the little wasn''t disturbing, and she looked she will remain obedient for a while longer.


    Jasmine was d that her mother brought the food quickly, and she opened her mouth to eat it.


    From the restaurant, thedies went to the beauty spa. Since the little bun was sleepy, she wasid in her stroller, and it was adjusted so she could sleepfortably.


    After getting their facials done, they had their fingers and their toes cleaned up.


    When they were about to leave the spa, Jasmine woke up. FangSu rushed to carry her in her arms and suggested they go to a cafe to get some snacks to eat.


    FangSu got a small ice cream ????for Jasmine. You need to have seen how excited Jasmine was when FangSu brought the ice cream close to her, she almost grabbed it from her.


    Jia Li who was standing at the side, immediately grabbed her little hands to stop her from touching the Ice Cream.


    "Da Xia, don''t touch it, I will give you to have a taste. Now watch me." FangSu said to her and immediately demonstrated how to eat the ice cream, but the little bun''s attention was divided. Her gaze was moving from FangSu to the ice cream in her hand.


    At a point, the little bun had to protest with a curious gaze. Finally, FangSu brought the Ice cream to her lips to have a taste. Jasmine immediately stuck out her tongue to lick the ice cream.


    After tasting the ice cream and seeing how nice it was, the little bun nced at her mother in surprise and made sounds of excitement.


    "You like it?." Jia Li asked with a smile as she slowly let her hands go.


    "Da Xia, eat more," FangSu said as she brought the ice cream towards Jasmine''s lips again, and before any one of them could react, the little bun grabbed the ice cream with her hands and put her lips on it.


    Jia Li, FangSu, and Fu Meixu all let out gasps of shock. The little bun definitely didn''t feel the coldness of the Ice cream, because she still had her entire mouth on it.


    Fifteen minutester, they were all on their way home, but the little bun was still eating her ice cream. This time around, Jia Li was feeding her with a spoon, and also eating with her, so she wouldn''t have to gobble everything down her small stomach.


    When they got home, all the shop bags they sent home, were still lined up in the inner sitting room, so the threedies began to sort them out, while Grandfather Fu came to carry the little bun.


    Seeing his great-granddaughter''s protruded stomach, the old man chuckled and asked her, "Da Xia, did you eat a lot of food outside?."


    The little bun smiled at the old man and put her hands on his face. She caressed his face and then went on to touch his beards.


    Grandfather Fu smiled warmly and carried the little bun away. He had prepared some strawberries for her, but since she has already had something to eat, he didn''t want to overfeed her, and so he asked Butler Lu to carry the te of fruits away.


    After sorting out everything they bought, they had the servants take the shop bags to the bedrooms of each member of the family they got the items for.


    When they had finished that phase, they sighed in relief. "It is so tiring to shop for a lot of people. I''m so tired, I''m going to sleep." Fu Meixu said and disappeared.


    "Sister-inw, I''m running off to get my beauty sleep as well," FangSu said with a smile and disappeared.


    Jia Li was tired as well, so she went to her bedroom. Fu Hua was not in there, and she wondered if he was in the workshop. But as she didn''t have the strength to go find him, she changed her clothes and went toy on the bed.


    Before Jia Li could close her eyes, a knock was heard on the door. She slowly opened her eyes and asked for the door to be opened.


    A servant appeared with a ss of freshly squeezed fruit juice in her hand.


    "Miss, first Madam asked me to bring it to you." The servant said with a smile.


    Jia Li knew she was referring to Fu Hee as the first madam and she asked her to bring the ss of fruit juice to her.


    When Jia Li touched the ss, she felt the chillness and smiled. She thanked the servant and asked her to put the tray down and leave.


    When Jia Li tastes the juice, she could immediately tell the fruits Fu Hee used. She loved the drink and she drank everything up at once, before putting the empty ss down and going on toy on the bed.


    Later in the evening, the whole family gathered to have dinner, and Grandfather Fu fed the little bun personally.


    In the next few days, the Fu family handled the birthday preparations of the little bun. All the guests could onlye in with the invitation card sent to them, and their faces were to be screened before they would be allowed inside, which was something that wouldn''t take time.


    The machine had a screen or more like a lens, and once any guest nced at it, the machine will immediately scan their faces and match their identities on the system before they would be allowed inside.


    In this big party hosted by the Fu family, no media was invited, because Grandfather Fu said it was another party to announce his granddaughter-inw to all his friends again, and he didn''t want any outsiders as well.

 Chapter 452 - Jasmines First Birthday Party

    <h4>Chapter 452 - Jasmine''s First Birthday Party</h4>


    On Jia Li and Jasmine''s birthday, the whole family sang a birthday song to them immediately they stepped out of the room.


    Jia Li and Jasmine looked surprised to see the whole house decorated with balloons and other items. The balloons were so many that Jia Li kicked some of them as she walked.


    This was the kind of thing the little bun liked so she asked to be let down so she could sit and y with them.


    While everything was being finalized, Jasmine''s official birthday cake arrived. At first, Jia Li didn''t want to let the little bun see her cake for fear that she would start crying to have a bite, but Fu Hua asked her to allow her.


    "There are so many cakesing today, so we can give her to try from any of them."


    When Jasmine saw her birthday cake, she was excited and pped her hands. Jia Li pointed at the cake and said to her, "Today is your birthday, and that''s your birthday cake, but you can only eat it after cutting it."


    As Fu Hua said, more cakes were on their way. To Jia Li''s surprise, every member of the Fu family customized a birthday cake for Jasmine.


    2 hours to the party time, Jia Li and the little bun, bath and got dressed to take their official birthday photos. Fu Hua joined them for a few of their photos, and the rest of the family joined them in a few. But the main focus was on Jasmine.


    It was really fun getting the little bun to stand on her feet so some shots could be taken. When everyone cheered her on, the little bun pped her hands and smiled back at them, and that was how a perfect shot was taken of her while standing.


    Jasmine''s first birthday party was really loud as lots of the Fu family friends were in attendance. The little bun was afraid of the crowd and she didn''t let any outsider touch or carry her.


    And when it felt like she was being forced, she would make sounds of protests and hide in her mother or father''s arms. You really can''t force Jasmine to do what she doesn''t want to.


    Being the center of attention was not something the little bun really liked. She was shy and wouldn''t stay at a ce if her mother or father was not next to her.


    When it was time to cut her birthday cake which had her picture on it, she almost cried because Jia Li made her stand in front of the table, and then turned to leave.


    Seeing as the little bun had already pouted her lips and stretched out one arm towards her, Jia Li was forced to return to her side.


    Fu Hua joined the mother and daughter pair on the stage to cut the birthday ???? together.


    After cutting her birthday cake, the little bun pped for herself, and that caused her to receive cheers from the family and the guests. And immediately, everyone stood up to sing a birthday song for her.


    After singing for the little bun, YingPei immediately went to carry the little bun away, because Fu Hua arranged a little something for Jia Li just to make her feel special on her day.


    Fu Hua took the mic from the mc and gazed lovingly at Jia Li. Jia Li didn''t see thising, and it was so weird for her to be the center of attention. She almost ran away if Fu Hua wasn''t quick enough to pull her back.


    After taking the mic, Fu Hua held her hand and sang a birthday song specially for her, as the rest watched them with smiles on their faces.


    After singing for her, Fu Ling immediately stepped forward with a crown ???? on a tray. Fu Hua gave the mic back to the mc, before picking up the crown from the tray and cing it on Jia Li''s head to the amazement of everyone.


    Next, Fu Hua stretched out his hand for a dance, and Jia Li took it with a ddened heart. She remembered saying that she didn''t want anything special on this day, but now, she was convinced that she can not stop Fu Hua from doing whatever he wanted.


    Jasmine stared at her parents with a curious gaze. Seeing them dance on the stage, was the first time, so she was very curious about what they were doing.


    The little bun went on to point at them and tried to say a few words Fu Yingpei couldn''t make sense of. He didn''t have an idea of what she was saying, but he still replied to her.


    "Your Dad and your Mum are dancing, do you like that?." Fu YingPei asked with a smile.


    "Hu...dantch..." Jasmine said while pointing at her the couple dancing on the stage. Fu YingPei concluded that he could never understand hernguage, and gave up on it.


    Not long after, FangSu came to carry the little bun away, but YingPei did not allow her to take the little bun from him.


    "Brother give her to me, I''m going to introduce her to a few of my friends," FangSu said while stretching forth her arms.


    Fu YingPei moved a little away from her and said, "I won''t give her to you, go away."


    FangSu frowned after being rejected and asked YingPei for the little bun again. "Brother why are you doing this?."


    Jasmine who has been staring at her parents took notice of FangSu and wanted to go with her, but YingPei refused.


    "I carried her first, wait till I''m tired then I will give her to you." Fu YingPei said.


    FangSu couldn''t believe her ears, and she looked so annoyed at the moment. And before she could protest, Butler Lu came to their side to take the little bun away from them. Actually, the old man had sent him to take Jasmine from them.


    Grandfather Fu was sitting with his friends and also wanted to show off his family''s little princess.


    After Jia Li and Fu Hua finished dancing, the Party continued. Guests were served food and drinks and souvenirs.


    Towards the end of the party, Jasmine gave out gifts to the children that came for her birthday party with the help of Jia Li.


    Jia Li would pick a gift and give it to her, and then instruct her to pass it to the child in front of them. When giving out any heavy gift, Jia Li would put her hand underneath hers to support her.


    It was good that the gifts were well packaged, otherwise, if the little bun saw anything that fascinated her, she would forget about handing the gift to another person.

 Chapter 453 - Jasmines Interests

    <h4>Chapter 453 - Jasmine''s Interests</h4>


    Jasmine looked especially cute in her yellow princess-styled dress, and the crown made of pure silver fit her perfectly.


    Jasmine received lots of expensive gifts from the guests, and also from her family members. The gifts the little bun received were much, that the servants had to put them in a store.


    After the birthday party, everyone was tired already, and after sending off the guests, the Fu family members went into the house.


    Jasmine''s birthday party was held outside, but the decors and arrangements made it not look like outdoor activity.


    Since it was kind ofte, Jia Li took the little bun to go have a warm water bath with the help of housekeeper Zu.


    The next day after breakfast, Jia Li asked for the servants to bring all the gifts she and the little bun received the previous day, so she could see them.


    The little bun sat next to her mother on the floor to unwrap their gifts together. Jia Li got so much jewelry and essories as presents, while the little bun received cars, bicycles, back to school products, and many more toys and gifts.


    When the little bun set eyes on her pink car gift, she immediately became interested in it. She took slow and unsteady steps towards the car, and when she got to that point, she touched the car and pointed at her mother while making little sounds.


    "You want to ride it?." Jia Li asked with a smile, and the little bun nodded in response, so Jia Li put her in the car and secured her seatbelt before picking up the remote to control the car.


    When the car started moving, the little bun was shocked and stretched her hands out to hold onto something. But within a short time, she became veryfortable in her ride.


    A few minutester, Jia Li wanted to carry the little bun out of the car, but she refused toe down.


    "Did I do wrong by letting you ride in it?." Jia Li asked the little bun who seemed to be having a lot of fun in her new car.


    "I...m¨¡m¨¡... tch..." Jasmine said while pointing at the car. She was trying to tell her mum to make the car move again.


    "No way, I want to show you something." Jia Li said and turned her back on her, then she asked the servant to bring the gift set that had books in it.


    After taking out the books which were storybooks and learning books for children of her age, Jia Li picked up one and read the title to the little bun.


    Because the book looked so colorful, Jasmine forgot about her car ride and paid great attention to the book, and as her mother opened the book to point at some colors for her.


    "...Jasmine, you''ve got so many things to learn." Jia Li said to the little bun who currently had the book in her hands. She was seriously gazing at the fantastic colors before her. Even when her mother brought her out from the car, she didn''tin.


    Jia Li checked out some of the gifts with the little bun. And now that she has seen so many colorful books, she abandoned the remaining stuff for her mother to deal with.


    Seeing how the little bun sat at a ce obediently to y with one of her books, Jia Li felt relieved the book was not in a paper form or else, the little girl would have torn it by now.


    When Fu Hua came to join them and saw his little princess sitting all by herself and seemed to be busy with something, He asked Jia Li, "Why is she so quiet?."


    Jia Li nced at the little bun who had her back towards them and then turned to reply to Fu Hua with a smile, "She is ying with one of the books she received as a gift."


    Fu Hua smiled with his gaze on his little princess before looking back at his wife. "She seems so interested in that book, I will go and check it out."


    When Fu Hua arrived at the little bun''s side, he squat next to her and had to call her in other to get her attention.


    "Princess, what are you looking at?." Fu Hua asked with a smile.


    Jasmine heard her father''s voice and took a break to nce at him. Seeing her father made her smile. The little bun pointed at her book repeatedly in a bid to show it off to him.


    "Can I see what you are doing?." Fu Hua asked as he took the book from her to seriously go through it.


    Jasmine smacked her lips after her father took her book from her. She still had her gaze on her book as if she was afraid it would disappear from her sight if she takes her gaze of it for a second.


    "Oh! you are studying colors. Do you want me to teach you?." Fu Hua asked with an interesting gaze.


    Jasmine was now in a dilemma and didn''t know how to reply to her father. She wanted to continue ying with her book, and she didn''t need him to interfere with it.


    Fu Hua smiled, even more, when he noticed the little bun''s gaze moving from the book to his face. As she remained quiet, he knew she wanted her book back, but didn''t know how to say ''no'' to him.


    "Alright, I will let you have your book, for now, I will teach you some other time." Fu Hua said in a gentle tone as he handed the book back to her before walking off to Jia Li''s side.


    "She is so interested in books, and I think it won''t be difficult for her to learn new things." Fu Hua said as he sat beside Jia Li.


    Jia Li nced at him and replied with a smile, "You don''t know your daughter. She only likes colorful things, nothing else."


    "It will still be easy for her to learn a new thing since she is always so interested in things like that." Fu Hua replied.


    "Won''t she be distracted?." Jia Li asked with a frown.


    "No, she won''t. I will call someone to set up another yground outside for her." Fu Hua said.


    He wanted Jasmine the build her strength and be physically fit with the help of some outdoor activities.


    "Okay, we will n it together.." Jia Li said in agreement.

 Chapter 454 - Utilize Opportunities

    <h4>Chapter 454 - Utilize Opportunities</h4>


    While the family of three was busy with the birthday presents, lots of people were gushing over the pictures from the birthday party.


    Fu Hua personally took a picture of Jia Li and the little bun together and posted it on his social media pages to wish them a happy birthday, and he ended up not tagging anyone.


    In the picture that he posted, only a little of Jia Li''s side profile was seen, but the side profile of the little bun was seen clearly.


    Everyone wasplimenting the little bun for how cute and beautiful she was. Many of them asked the reason they couldn''t see Jia Li''s face.


    Even the picture Grandfather Fu posted of Jia Li and the little bun, Jia Li had her head lowered, while Jasmine was looking up at her. From the picture, it could be seen that Jia Li was saying something to the little bun that warranted their poses being that way.


    As everyone was curious about Jia Li''s identity, they were still happy that they at least got to see her side profile. Someone asked under Fu Hua''sment section when he would finally let them see his wife''s face, but as usual, he didn''t reply to anyone.


    Grandfather Fu left this matter for Fu Hua and Jia Li to decide. Jia Li didn''t seem to care about her hidden identity, while Fu Hua had something else in mind. He has decided to reveal Jia Li''s identity as his wife soon, and he was going to do it in an unexpected way, and that''s the reason he will not bring it up, anyone before then.


    Jia Li being a normal citizen posted a selfie of herself without make-up and wished herself a happy birthday.


    Jia Li had fans, so she received a lot of birthday wishes andments under her post, but who would have thought that she was the same person the members of the Fu family were celebrating?


    Jia Li''s three friends who were also present at the birthday party wished her a happy birthday under hertest post.


    On Monday, when Jia Li went to work, she received birthday gifts and cards from her colleagues. Sunny also handed her a bottle of perfume as a birthday gift.


    Soon August came, and FJ Styles held their Autumn Fashion show. And a day after the show, FJ posted on their official social media pages the 5 outfits designed by their newbies that made it to the Autumn show, with their names included.


    Although Jia Li wasn''t trying to be popr, being in FJ, has made her more popr, and caused the media attention to be on her. She was like a mini-celebrity right now.


    Jia Li also reposted the red dress she designed from FJ Styles'' page, on her page as well, with a little write-up, ''I had no idea this dress would look this pretty. Thank you @FJ_Styles for recognizing my arts.''


    Jia Li and her 4 other colleagues whose works were recognized, received some rewards from FJ. Their work tables were upgraded, and they had their little office spaces now.


    Mari¨¦ being amongst the people that got her own little office space, was very excited and couldn''t stop talking about it.


    Before the end of work that day, Sunny announced that she was going to give a treat to all the newbies who have been with them since January.


    This was good news to the newbies because Sunny was usually very strict with them, and she doesn''t smile with them at all. Now hearing from her that she was going to give them a treat, they were beyond happy.


    "At least she is not treating her group only, but our entire set." One of the newbies said with a big smile.


    "I''m d this is the weekend, so I can drink all I want," Mari¨¦ said.


    "Don''t forget we are dining with our superiors, don''t forget your manners at the end of work today,? bring it along," Linda said to her.


    Mari¨¦ nced at her and asked with a frown, "Really? do you think I''m insensible to get drunk and act crazy in front of my superiors from work?."


    "We know how crazy you can be, so we are reminding you ahead of time." One of them said with a smile.


    "Are you serious? I don''t want to lose my job or lose pointers, so I will definitely be on my best behavior." Mari¨¦ replied.


    Jia Li on the other hand was happy with the treat, but she had a baby-toddler at home whom she needed to get home to spend some time with after staying away from her for almost a whole day.


    Jia Li went to Sunny''s office to permit her to be absent on her treat, but Sunny refused.


    "I know you have a child, but I want you to be present today because I have an important announcement to make as well. I will permit you to leave after half an hour." Sunny said with a gentle gaze.


    "Thank you." Jia Li replied. Returning to her office, Fu Hua requested to have a video call with her. Jia Li fixed her earphones before answering the call.


    "How do you feel about owning a little office space?." Fu Hua asked immediately the call got connected. A big smile yed on his lips while waiting for her response.


    "I love it, it feels like I am a small CEO of apany. Be careful of me, so I won''t snatch FJ from you." Jia Li teased.


    Fu Hua chuckled softly and said to her, "I would really love to see you stand side by side with me in this Fashion World. Hard work brought me here, and not because I was my grandmother''s grandson, so I would like you to work hard so you can meet me quickly."


    "I promise that I will meet you soon. Every little opportunity thates my way will be utilized just to be a few steps away from you." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    "I love your spirit. I will reward you handsomely if you can achieve a lot before January." Fu Hua said to her.


    He was setting a goal for her to reach before she celebrates her 1st anniversary working in FJ, and Jia Li took up the challenge.


    "What would my reward be?." Jia Li asked with a smile.


    Fu Hua thought hard and said, "I would have loved to pay for a 2 weeks vacation to anywhere you want, but I can''t because Jasmine and I would want toe along, so I have decided to reward you with myself."


    "What!." Jia Li eximed in surprise as she chuckled hard.. She thought he had something reasonable to say or something that would sweep her off her feet, but it turned out that he would say something that is not relevant.

 Chapter 455 - Big Opportunity

    <h4>Chapter 455 - Big Opportunity</h4>


    "Giving myself to you is enough reward." Fu Hua replied. He was deliberately teasing her because he loved her reactions.


    "This means you haven''t given yourself to me all this while." Jia Li said to him.


    "Okay, now I''m speechless. I will reward you handsomely if you pass my test." Fu Hua said as he has lost the zeal to continue teasing her before he gets into trouble.


    "Don''t call me during work hours, I don''t want to be distracted." Jia Li said in a kind reminder. She knew that there was no way they wouldn''t speak for more than 5 minutes if they were to engage in a conversation. And being a young couple that loved themselves, they were likely to talk for a long time and forget they were working.


    "Don''t miss my calls on purpose, I will let you continue with your work, for now, bye, I love you." Fu Hua said as he blew her a kiss.


    "I love you too, bye..." Jia Li said while waving to him with a smile.


    After work, Jia Li texted Fu Hua to tell him about the treat Sunny was sponsoring, and that she would be back home in an hour plus. Fu Hua replied to her text with an ''ok'' sign ????


    Sunny arranged for thepany''s bus to take them all to the location of the restaurant she booked. Those that had a means of transport like Jia Li, coulde with their cars.


    When Sunny said she was going to treat all of them to food and drinks, she truly set out for it. The restaurant she booked for their treat, was an expensive one, and the round table arranged, could contain them all.


    There were looks of admiration on the newbie''s faces as they walked into the restaurant, and when they were directed to their room.


    "Miss Sunny, your monthly sry will be gone in feeding us today." One of the newbies said in pity.


    Sunny smiled and replied to him, "Don''t worry about my money and eat, the bill is on Mr. Fu, so you can order what you like."


    "What! the Big Boss is paying?." Linda asked with a surprising glint.


    Even Jia Li was surprised by the revtion. When she was speaking with Fu Hua and also when she texted him and he replied, he never mentioned anything about the treat, so she was quite surprised to learn that he was going to foot their bill.


    "It feels so nice to eat whatever I like." One of them said with a big smile.


    "I''m sure it feels so good to spend Mr. Fu''s money, I won''t hold back while ordering."


    When Jia Li heard this one, she rolled her eyes in her head. ''Why do you feel good about spending my husband''s money'' She thought in her head. That sentence made Jia Li jealous.


    Actually, Fu Hua didn''t know about the treat until Jia Li mentioned it to him, so he decided to sponsor it from his purse. When he called Sunny to tell her that he would foot the bills, thetter was surprised, and agreed, while wondering who tipped him off about the treat.


    Zimo was on a week''s leave, so it can''t be him. Not bothering about the matter since it wasn''t a serious case, Sunny went on with her work.


    After everyone had settled down around the big round table, three waiters came in to take their orders.


    Jia Li didn''t order much since there would still be more than enough food served at home just for her.


    There was a bottle of wine in their order, so when it arrived, Sunny popped it and poured a little quantity into everyone''s cup. After the first ss clinking, everyone was allowed to start eating.


    Jia Li kept checking the time, and Sunny noticed it but didn''t say anything, and finally, when 30 minutes was up, Jia Li got up and took permission to leave.


    "JL, why are you leaving already, we just got here?." One of them said with furrowed brows.


    "She has a husband, a child, and a family unlike most of us," Mari¨¦ said.


    Sunny had to speak up at this point. "Jia Li, please give me a minute."


    Jia Li sat back down and paid attention to what Sunny was about to say.


    A few minutester, Jia Li left the restaurant. Sunny had just told all of them to work very hard during this period, as FJ was nning an opportunity to let them showcase the level of their talents after working with them for a certain period, and then it was going to be a very big exposure for them.


    "...the date will be announced soon. But till then, don''t stop working hard." Sunny said to them.


    The newbies drew attention to themselves right from when they joined thepetition FJ held, and now, after some months have passed, people will be curious about their progress, and so, FJ was nning something to bring them back to the limelight once again.


    When Jia Li got back home, the father and daughter were ying together, but she still saw an opportunity to ask him about what Sunny told them after the excited little bun weed her back home.


    Fu Hua confirmed that something like that was being put under consideration, and Jia Li did not ask any more questions.


    "Grandfather said he wille with us to pay a visit to your parents next weekend." Fu Hua notified her.


    This is exactly 3 years since Jia Li lost her parents, and every year, she would go to her hometown to visit them.


    "Grandfather ising with us?." Jia Li asked in surprise. This was the first time the old man was going to see her parents after they were buried, so it was a surprise to her that he wanted toe along with them.


    "Not only him, Mother and father areing along as well." Fu Hua said. This news was more shocking than the first. To Jia Li, it felt like the entire Fu family wasing with her to pay a visit to her parents.


    Jia Li was surprised by this news, but there was no rejection in her heart. Her father-inw has never met her parents physically and virtually, so he must want toe along to pay respect to them.


    As for Fu Hee, she was present during the burial of Mr. and Mrs.. Qin, so it can be said that she has met them before.

 Chapter 456 - Second Anniversary

    <h4>Chapter 456 - Second Anniversary</h4>


    The next weekend, Jia Li, Fu Hua, Jasmine, Grandfather Fu, Fu Hee, and Fu Lei left for Jia Li''s hometown to honor her parents. They bought fresh roses and incense and went along with some servants. Butler Lu was present as well.


    Since The Fu family flew in with their private jet, they went straight to honor Jia Li''s parents before going back to their vi in anothermunity, which was very close to Jia Li''s hometown.


    Jia Li was not new to the vi, and because she was an adult, she found it easy to settle in, unlike the little bun who was restless. She disturbed a lot and couldn''t sleep peacefully at night, and so did her parents.


    Although Jia Li had slowly stopped breastfeeding Jasmine, this night, she was forced to put her breast in the little bun''s mouth, to see if she would calm down a little. Her n only worked for a short while, so Fu Hua had to put a lot of effort into making the little girl sleep.


    Jia Li hugged the little bun to sleep, and that was how Jasmine managed to sleep peacefully that night.


    Because of Jasmine''s disturbance the previous night, Fu Lei arranged for them to leave the next day at noon.


    After Jia Li and the Fu family members left, Her Aunt learned of Jia Li visiting her parents, and went over to the Qin''s residence to find her, but the door was locked.


    Jia Li''s Aunt was so angry that she cursed and kicked the door. She was having the hope of seeing Jia Li and asking her for some money, but to her disappointment, It didn''t look like her niece had stepped into that ce in a long time.


    When Mrs. Li learned that Jia Li came around to see her parents, she rejoiced and nned on how she was going to see her, only to be told that she never came around the area. Mrs. Li was disappointed and called her son to talk about it.


    Li Huan has been very busy with work since he was promoted, and he was doing very well. There was no ce he spends his vacation apart from his hometown, but he hasn''t returned in a while, so when his mother''s call came in, he thought she was calling because of it. But when his mother brought up the topic of Jia Li, he became so interested in it.


    From their conversation, Mrs. Li learned that her son didn''t know much about Jia Li, and they two haven''t seen each other in over a year, and theyst spoke on phone about a year ago, so it has been quite a long time.


    Mrs. Li had grown to the point of epting that the youngdy she wanted her son to get married to, was already married with a child, and so, she has begun to disturb Li Huan to start dating someone else soon, but he would always give an excuse of being too busy with work.


    Like now, the mother and son were arguing about his dating lifestyle and how he should first take a step towards finding another woman he would love.


    The problem Li Huan has is that he doesn''t believe that he would ever love another woman the way he loved Jia Li. But this was none of Jia Li''s business, she was happily married to Fu Hua, they both have an adorable daughter whom they loved so dearly.


    The next month being September was Jia Li and Fu Hua''s wedding anniversary, and when September finally came, Jia Li learned of Fu Hua''s arrangement for the three of them.


    Fu Hua had already booked ne tickets to 3 different countries to celebrate their honeymoon, and this will cost them a week and 3 days before they would return to China.


    Luckily Jia Li''s leave was approved. And even if Sunny didn''t approve of it, Fu Hua will intervene.


    This will be the first time Jasmine would be leaving China since she was born. All the little bun knew, was that she was going somewhere to her parents and as to which ce they were going to, she didn''t understand it.


    Jia Li made sure to pack Jasmine''s stuff first before packing hers. Fu Hua could pack his stuff himself, so he did that quickly beforeing to help his wife out with her stuff.


    After getting their things ready for tomorrow''s afternoon flight, Jia Li said she needed to go to the hospital for a doctor''s appointment. Fu Hua became worried and thought she was ill somewhere and immediately asked about it.


    "Are you okay? Are you hurting somewhere?." Fu Hua asked in a worried tone.


    Jia Li saw the worry on his face and smiled, "I''m fine. I''m only going to the hospital to enforce a birth control method. We can''t get pregnant now, so we have to prevent any mistakes."


    Since they were going on a week-long vacation, Jia Li was somewhat scared that they would have s*x in the heat of the moment, and forget to use protection. And since Fu Hua wouldn''t let her take pills, she has to pay a visit to the doctor.


    "I have toe with you, this is something I am involved with, so I wille with you." Since Fu Hua insisted oning with her, Jia Li didn''t have any issues. All she did, was to dress the little bun and take her along with them, so she could have her checkup done.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua spent more than 2 hours in the hospital before driving home. On their way home, Jasmine''s mouth was very busy. Her doctor gave her a milk candy ???? , so she was currently eating it herself.


    The next day, Jia Li, Fu Hua, the little bun, Mei, and 2 other servants, traveled out of the country to celebrate their 2nd anniversary.


    Going to the beach was one of the fun things the little bun experienced. Jia Li bought cute beach wears that would fit her perfectly.. When Fu Hua saw his daughter dressed in a swimsuit, he couldn''t helpughing and taking beautiful photos of her.

 Chapter 457 - First Time Beach Experience

    <h4>Chapter 457 - First Time Beach Experience</h4>


    The little bun was chubby and had her tied up in two buns, so her swimwear made her look so cute, especially when she was walking by herself.


    Jasmine can now walk by herself, but because she was still not used to it, she still walked unsteadily, and would sometimes fall on the floor with her bottom, and when this happens, she would get up and continue walking.


    "Princess, you look so beautiful." Fu Hua said with a smiling gaze after taking a few shots of her.


    "Thanku..." Jasmine replied as she pped her hands excitedly. Jia Li taught her how to receivepliments, and she learned pretty quickly.


    Fu Hua couldn''t get over his daughter''s cuteness, and so sat on the floor with an affectionate gaze on her.


    "Princess, kiss daddy." Fu Hua said to her.


    "Okay," Jasmine replied with a cute smile and leaned in to kiss his cheek. Fu Hua hugged her tightly and nted kisses all over her face, and this was the scene Jia Li saw when she walked into the bedroom.


    "Do you want to kiss mummy too?." Fu Hua asked the little bun after he nced at the smiling Jia Li.


    Jasmine nodded in response, and Jia Li came to her side and squat next to her to receive her kisses.


    "Thank you, Jasmine." Jia Li said as she hugged her little daughter.


    "Princess we are going to the beach, are you ready?." Fu Hua asked as he lifted the little girl in his arms.


    "Yes!." Jasmine replied with her hands raised. The previous night, her father had shown her what a beach looked like through a video, and when he asked if she would love to visit there, she replied with a ''yes'' and so Fu Hua promised to take her to the beach the next day.


    "Good girl." Fu Hua said to her before ncing at Jia Li who was wearing cover-up beachwear.


    After taking a good look at her outfit, he asked, "Are youfortable in it?." He didn''t want her to be ufortable outside, so he asked that question.


    Jia Li nced at her outfit and said, "I think it''s okay. My boobs are not showing much, and my bottom is all covered up."


    Fu Hua sighed and said, "Okay, let''s leave now."


    The family of three set out for the beach with 2 servants following them. There were huge sunsses on Fu Hua and Jia Li''s faces, which would make it kind of difficult to be recognized.


    Jasmine was very happy to be on the beach. She kept giggling and talking while pointing at the sea. The little girl fell a few times after tripping over small heaps of sand.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua held their little daughter''s hand and took her close to the sea, so she could know the feeling of water touching her feet at the beach. The little bun screamed excitedly when the cold water touched her feet, and it was a good thing she wasn''t scared of it.


    After her experience with the water, Fu Hua carried her out, and let her seat on the sand, but the little bun got up immediately. She kept pointing at the sand and saying, "Dirty."


    Jia Li and Fu Hua chuckled heartily after seeing the frown on the little girl''s face. Jia Li had to tell her she could still sit on it.


    "Jasmine, you can still sit on it, I will wash your bottom after ying with the sand." Jia Li said to her.


    "Nooo," Jasmine said with a frown. When she first fell on the sand while walking, she immediately pped her hands to remove the sand on it after she got to her feet and now telling her to sit on the sound just like that wasn''t going to work.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua couldn''t me the little girl, they thought her what dirt was, and it looks like their teaching really stuck to her head.


    Jia Li called for a servant who came to spray the beach clothing on the sand, and only then did Jasmine agree to sit. Fu Hua was going to teach her how to build a sandcastle ????


    Jia Li didn''t know how to build a sandcastle, so she watched along with Jasmine. While building, Fu Hua would ask Jasmine to hand him a paintbrush, a funnel, or any other tool, and Jia Li will show the little bun any tool she didn''t recognize, so she could pass it to her father.


    After building the sandcastle, Fu Hua asked, "How is it?."


    "Awesome!" The little girl said in an excited tone. She looked so marveled to see the sandcastle her father built. The 14 months old was thrilled as she pped her hands excitedly.


    "Let''s take pictures together." Jia Li suggested as she took out her phone and got ready to take a selfie of them.


    After taking a few shots with their phones, they returned to their beach chair to rest. Jia Li washed the little girl''s hands and dried them with a hand towel before handing the slightly chilled pineapple juice she got for her.


    "Thanku..." Jasmine said as she received the pineapple juice from her mother and started to suck from her straw.


    While lying on their beach chairs and watching the little bun who was ying all by herself under the watch of the servants, Fu Hua turned to nce at Jia Li''s outfit. He couldn''t help not reacting and got up to cover her body with a clothing.


    "I can''t believe other people are seeing what belongs to me." He said with a frown as he sat on her chair.


    Jia Li understood what he was talking about and smiled, "I had no idea my clothes have been readjusted, thank you!"


    "That is not enough." Fu Hua said before making her adjust for him, so he couldy beside her.


    "We are at the beach, and a lot of people are watching, what are you doing?." Jia Li asked with a smile as he pulled her to rest her head on his chest.


    "You are my wife, and I can do what I want." Fu Hua said as he continued holding her.. Right now, he was no longer jealous because her soft meaty skinforted him.

 Chapter 458 - Jasmine With Her Great-grandfather

    <h4>Chapter 458 - Jasmine With Her Great-grandfather</h4>


    When Jasmine who was walking about with the servants behind her turned around, she saw her parents staying too close to each other. First of all, she stared at them for a short while before deciding to go back to their side while calling out to her father.


    "Daddy! Daddy!." Jasmine called out in her cute voice as she quickly made her way to her parents in wobbly steps.


    A big smile formed on Jia Li and Fu Hua''s lips as they watched their daughter walk towards them hurriedly.


    "I bet you that she ising to separate us." Jia Li said in a low tone, She was talking from experience. She knew the little bun would be jealous if she saw them together, and would surelye to separate them.


    "She is our daughter!." Fu Hua said with a low chuckle. The little bun looked so adorable as she made her way to her parents. And finally, when she got to their side, she raised her hands in the air and asked her father to carry her.


    "Daddy...carry!." Jasmine said with a serious facial expression.


    Jia Li leaned away from Fu Hua''s chest so he could lift the little bun. Jasmine finally rxed after she settled on her father''s thighs.


    "You little girl, are you satisfied now?." Jia Li asked as she pinched her chubby cheeks. Jasmine hit her hands away and brought her father''s hands around her waist.


    "Who does she take after?." Fu Hua asked with a smiling gaze.


    "I don''t know because it''s definitely not me." Jia Li denied it because she can''t remember being this jealous anytime she saw her parents together when she was young.


    "If she doesn''t take after you, then she takes after me. Although I can''t remember acting like this when I was younger, I''m sure I wouldn''t want anyone near the person I love." Fu Hua replied with a smile.


    Fu Hua admitted that he was a jealous person, which was true. He knew that since he discovered how much he loved Jia Li. He wouldn''t want anyone to get close to his wife especially people of the opposite gender.


    "I agree with you, she definitely takes after you, and that''s the reason she loves separating us anytime she sees us together." Jia Li responded.


    Jasmine was oblivious to what her parents were talking about. She felt fulfilled in her father''s arms while knowing that he belonged to her.


    From the beach, the family of three went to have lunch before retiring back to their hotel room. The next day, they took a flight to another country, the US.


    Fu Hua wanted to show his little Princess Disnend Park in California, so he made arrangements before their travel.


    Jasmine was little but she was still astonished to see the sleeping beauty Castle. She watches a lot of Disney Princesses cartoons, so she was familiar with Princess Aurora.


    Although Jasmine could not understand much, she still had a lot of fun. After touring 2 more countries, the family of three returned to China with the presents they got for everyone.


    Jasmine was happy to see her great grandfather who always gave her a lot of goodies. She was all over him throughout that day. And the next day in the morning, she went to the strawberry garden with him.


    The cute food monger could not resist food and when she saw the strawberries the old man picked and put inside the basket, she called out the name of the fruit and leaned over to pick one for herself.


    Butler Lu who was standing close to the little bun took the fruit from her and put it back into the basket. Before the little bun could protest because she looked annoyed, Grandfather Fu smiled and said to her...


    "Da Xia, the fruit is dirty and needs to be washed before you can eat them."


    "Dirty," Jasmine repeated after him as she pointed at the strawberries in the basket.


    "Yes, they are dirty." Grandfather Fu said with a smile before ncing over at Butler Lu to instruct him to wash one of the fruits ???? and bring it for Jasmine.


    A few minutester, the washed strawberry was handed over to the little bun, but she refused to collect it. She hid her hands behind her and moved backward while calling the fruit, ''dirty''


    Heartyughter escaped from the old man''s lips as he watched his great granddaughter''s cute actions. He had to intervene so the little bun could ept the fruit.


    Grandfather leaned towards the little girl and said to her in a doting tone, "Da Xia, collect it, this one has been washed, you can eat it."


    Jasmine trusted her great-grandpa, and so she collected the fruit from Butler Lu and took a bite from it. Loving the taste, the little bun took another bite and chewed on it.


    Seeing how full her mouth was and how some of the fruit juices were dripping from the corner of her lips, Grandfather Fu smiled and took his handkerchief from Butler Lu and used it to wipe the corner of the little girl''s lips.


    Jasmine made a cute gesture by offering the strawberry in her hand to the old man so he could have a bite.


    Grandfather Fu didn''t want to disappoint the little girl, so he leaned in to take a small bite and thanked her thereafter.


    "Da Xia, do you like it?." Grandfather Fu asked with a smile, and Jasmine nodded and said after him, "Like it."


    "Good! When we finish collecting the fruits, I will let you have more." Grandfather Fu said while pointing at the riped strawberries that were still on their branches ????


    Jasmine nodded in understanding before going to sit on a small chair Butler Lu showed her to go to. The rule Jasmine learned about dining, was that she had to seat while eating or drinking, and she always obeyed it.


    After collecting a lot of fruits, Grandfather Fu took the little bun''s hand and led her towards the house.. The height difference was much, but anyone that saw this scene would only feel love and admiration in their hearts.

 Chapter 459 - Jasmine Being The Center Of Attention

    <h4>Chapter 459 - Jasmine Being The Center Of Attention</h4>


    After returning from the strawberry garden, Grandfather Fu personally served the little bun some washed strawberry fruits. His heart felt ddened while watching Jasmine eat the fruit.


    FangSu who had juste out from her bedroom heard her little niece was eating some fruits in the dining area, and immediately came to find her.


    "Grandfather, why didn''t you give me some fruits like you gave to Da Xia?." FangSu asked as she tried to pick a strawberry from Jasmine''s te, but the old man hit her hands away.


    "Do I still need to serve you now?." Grandfather Fu asked with a frown. If it wasn''t his beloved great-granddaughter, then he wouldn''t serve anybody.


    Jasmine looked up at her Aunty that almost stole her fruit. I think she remembered that FangSu was always getting new foods, snacks, and drinks for her to try, so she picked up a strawberry and passed it to her.


    A bright smile turned up on FangSu''s lips as she took the strawberry from her. "Thank you, Da Xia!."


    The little bun went back to eating her fruits again and ignored everyone, and Grandfather Fu continued to clean the corner of her lips.


    After eating the fruit, FangSu just discovered that Jasmine did not call her by any name and just passed the fruit to her, so she asked the little bun, "Da Xia, what is my name?."


    "Name..." Jasmine said with a cute gaze on her. And she seems to not remember FangSu''s name.


    "Don''t tell me you have forgotten my name!." FangSu said in a raised brow.


    "Stop distracting Da Xia from eating. For her to give you the strawberry, that shows that she loves you, you should be d." Grandfather Fu said to her.


    "Grandfather, love is not enough, she needs to know my name! How can I exin that my niece doesn''t know my name?" FangSuined.


    "You are asking for too much. Ask Lu toe over here,e with him as well." The old man instructed.


    It turns out that the reason Grandfather Fu called for Butler Lu, was to ask for FangSu''s ount to be unblocked.


    Usually every month, all the members of the Fu family receive money from the old man. Although Fu Hua refused to collect money from his grandfather, the old man refused to cancel the scheduled transfer to his ount.


    FangSu jumped excitedly when she got a credit alert from her bank after her grandfather credited her. The little bun didn''t know what made her Aunty happy, but she raised her arms and cheered her up.


    "Da Xia, let''s go shopping!." FangSu said as she nced at the little bun before proceeding to lift her from her seat.


    Grandfather Fu didn''t stop FangSu from taking the little bun away, instead, he turned to Butler Lu to leave him with a few words of instruction.


    "I''m going with them, I need to pick a dress for Da Xia toe to Old Liu''s birthday party this evening. Ask for the bigger car to be ready for the event, and you areing with me to the mall."


    Grandfather Fu actually went to the mall with his granddaughter and great-granddaughter. When FangSu learned of the birthday party the old man would be bringing the little bun, to, she cried to be brought along.


    "Grandfather, I need toe with you to look after Da Xia, you cannot look after her by yourself," FangSu said to him.


    Grandfather Fu was a little bit annoyed, but he agreed to let FangSue with them.


    Old Mr. Liu was one of Grandfather Fu''s close friends, so he canceled his schedule just to be there to celebrate with him.


    This was old Mr. Liu''s 80th birthday party, so he invited a lot of friends from different dignitaries and the media was present as well.


    When Grandfather Fu''s Rolls Royce made its entrance and stopped before the red carpet, All attention from the news reporters, turned to his car.


    The cameras continued shing lights on the car even before the car door opened.


    Butler Lu was the first to step out of the car, and immediately, the 4 soldiers the old man usually brought with him when he went out for events like this, came out from another car and surrounded the back passenger car door he was toe out from.


    When the car door opened, the old man slowly stepped out of the car, and the lights from the cameras started shing nonstop.


    "It''s really old General Fu!."


    "OMG! General Fu is here!."


    While themotion was ongoing, Grandfather Fu who was all smiles turned back to the car and lowered his body to the curiosity of the media and other guests present.


    I mean, the old man just stepped out of the car, but what was he trying to get from the car? Oh! It''s the little bun! The old man was trying to help his great-granddaughter out of the car.


    Grandfather Fu carried Jasmine out from her car seat, and when her legs touched the ground, he immediately held onto her little hand.


    When Jasmine''s little feet were seen, the media almost went crazy.


    "Oh my God! It''s a child!."


    "Could this be the little Princess of the Fu Family?."


    When Jasmine''s face was seen clearly, there were gasps of shock, and then the whole ce was in an uproar.


    "OMG! It''s the little princess of the Fu family!."


    "That''s Mr. Fu Hua''s little daughter right?!."


    "The little girl celebrated her first birthday 2 months ago!."


    While the cameras were rolling, and many questions were directed to grandfather Fu about bringing the little bun out today, FangSu stepped out of the car.


    FangSu who liked the media''s attention didn''t seem to be interested today, instead, she joined her grandfather and niece, amidst the attention that was given to her.


    Jasmine refused to move an inch when she saw the many lights shing from different cameras and angles. The little bun stared curiously at those lights while thinking hard of what they were.


    Jasmine wore a light pink Princess dress and dark pink shoes with some precious stones on them.. As for her hair, it was parked in a bun with a cute pink hair ribbon The little bun looked so adorable tonight, and no one will be able to resist the temptation of not wanting to carry her home.

 Chapter 460 - The Request

    <h4>Chapter 460 - The Request</h4>


    When grandfather Fu and FangSu noticed that the little bun refused to move, they became worried and squatted beside her to ask her questions.


    "Da Xia, are you afraid of them? Don''t be, you are the star today, they are all scared of you." Grandfather Fu said while pointing at the cameras.


    Butler Lu noticed the little girl''s reluctance to continue and asked the media to turn off their sh, and seriously, they listened to him, because they were all worried about the adorable little girl that suddenly refused to walk forward.


    When the cameras were turned off, Da Xia nced at her great grandfather and pointed at the cameras.


    "Yes, they have been turned off, we can leave now." Grandfather Fu said with a smile before Butler Lu helped him up by holding onto his arm.


    Jasmine resumed walking while holding onto her old man''s hand. FangSu who was worried earlier sighed in relief and continued walking with them, as the soldiers cleared the way for them.


    When they got to the steps, FangSu lifted the little bun in her arms and walked the remaining journey with the old man.


    The celebrant, Old Mr. Liu, came to the entrance to wee Grandfather Fu when he heard her had arrived.


    "Today is your birthday, you should have stayed back inside." Grandfather Fu said to his friend after shaking hands with him.


    "Not after I heard you have arrived." Old Mr. Liu replied with a burst of heartyughter.


    "I apologize foringte. I insisted on taking my family''s little princess with me." Grandfather Fu said with a proud smile as he nced at the little bun in FangSu''s arms who was looking around curiously.


    Old Mr. Liu nced over to see the little girl in FangSu''s arm and went on to touch her hand in other to get her attention.


    FangSu greeted Old Mr. Liu with an excited gaze before calling out to the little bun. Jasmine heard her name being called, and retracted her gaze from the people she was starting at, to nce at FangSu.


    "Da Xia, greet great grandfather Liu," FangSu instructed the little bun.


    Jasmine nced at the old man she was asked to greet and bowed her head slightly without saying anything.


    Grandfather Fu and Old Mr. Liu chuckled heartily at the little girl''s obedience and actions.


    "Old Fu, I love your great-granddaughter already, I have a lot of goodies for her, bring her in!." Old Mr. Liu said happily as he ushered them in.


    The news media snapped away and some of them recorded the little bun when she was greeting Old Mr. Liu.


    "The little Princess of the Fu family is so smart!."


    "I can''t believe the Fu family are already teaching the little girl manners and ethics."


    "I think she is just 14 months old, and she is so obedient!."


    "The little girl is so cute, I want a child like her!."


    After they went inside, Old Mr. Liu took Grandfather Fu to meet their friends who were already sitting inside. And when the old men from the other families saw that Grandfather Fu came with his granddaughter and great-granddaughter, theyplimented him and also teased him for trying to show off in front of them.


    Jasmine didn''t feelfortable being surrounded by the old men, so Grandfather Fu allowed FangSu to take her away, and of course, FangSu was very happy with the opportunity to take the little bun away, as she can finally have the opportunity to show her off.


    On her way off to see a few friends and acquaintances, she came face to face with Zhang Junjie.


    "What are you doing here?." FangSu asked with a surprised gaze. Beforeing for the birthday party, she had texted Zhang Junjie about it, and he never mentioned that he would be present, so she was surprised to see him.


    "Initially I didn''t want toe to a boring party since my family was invited. But when you told me you wereing, I decided to change my schedule at thest minute." Zhang Junjie exined.


    FangSu blushed at his response and said in a low tone, "You really came because of me?."


    Zhang Junjie smiled and didn''t reply to her question again, instead, his gaze was glued on the little girl that has been staring at him since he appeared before them.


    "Is this your niece?." Zhang Junjie asked while pointing at the little bun who finally looked away from his face to look at the finger that was pointed at her.


    At Zhang Junjie''s reminder, FangSu remembered to introduce the little bun to him.


    "Ah! Forgive me, I had forgotten you couldn''t make it to her first birthday party. Now, permit me to introduce my Niece to you. This is Da Xia, she is my first brother''s little daughter and my family''s little princess. Ever since she was born, she has taken that title from me. Da Xia, meet my friend, Uncle Junjie, say ''hello'' to him."


    Jasmine refused to talk to Zhang Junjie and immediately hid away from him, by hugging FangSu''s neck and looking the other way.


    FangSu chuckled at her cuteness before saying to Zhang Junjie while patting the little girl''s bottom, "I''m sorry, I think she is shy."


    "I don''t mind her actions, she is beautiful. Earlier, you said I was your friend, did you mean that?." Zhang Junjie asked with a half-confused, half-smiling gaze.


    FangSu didn''t seem to understand what he was driving at, and immediately said, "Are you not my good friend?."


    Zhang Junjie chuckled at her ignorance and said, "I guess we both address each other with different titles while talking to other people. You just told your little niece that I am your friend, and now, I''m beginning to wonder how many people you have said the same thing to about me."


    FangSu still looked a little lost, so Zhang Junjie had to exin things to her in innguage. "I told my family that I had a girlfriend. For a few months now, I thought I made feelings and intentions known to you, but it looks like you didn''t get it, so, I''m going to make a request to you now, and you can''t say no."


    "What kind of request is that?." FangSu asked with palpitating heartbeats. She has always liked Zhang Junjie, but he just said that he had a girlfriend, and now, he wanted to make a request to her, so she was a little scared of what he had to say.


    Zhang Junjie smiled and asked, "Will you be my girlfriend?."

 Chapter 461 - Call Me, Jie

    <h4>Chapter 461 - Call Me, Jie</h4>


    FangSu was currently in a state of shock. Zhang Junjie just told her that he had a girlfriend, and now he was asking her to be his girlfriend, she didn''t seem to clear up things.


    Zhang Junjie saw her staring at him like she had lost her mind and smiled. "SuSu, I have always taken you to be my girlfriend, but I''m at fault for not asking you out officially, and that''s the reason I''m doing that now. Let''s date."


    ''SuSu... did he just call me that?'' FangSu thought.


    "You... you mean what you are saying? You want me to be your girlfriend?." FangSu asked with hidden happiness.


    "I already take you as my girlfriend, so I''m just asking you to fulfill formalities. Will you be my girlfriend?" Zhang Junjie said with a smile. He loved FangSu''s facial expression.


    "Hell yeah! I will be your girlfriend!." FangSu replied with a big smile on her face that couldn''t hide how happy she was.


    Finally, the person she has been admiring asked her out, and it was a thing worth celebrating.


    "Good, now that we agree, let''s go and meet my family." Zhang Junjie said and stretched out hisrge palm to her.


    "Now?." FangSu asked with a surprised gaze. She had no idea that he would want to introduce her to his family immediately.


    "Yes. " Zhang Junjie replied, then he nced at the little bun in her arms and said to her, "Let me hold her."


    "Oh!." FangSu said and turned the little bun in his direction.


    Jasmine nced at her Aunty, then at Zhang Junjie expressionlessly. But when she found out that her Aunty was about to give her away to a stranger, she refused and hugged her tightly.


    FangSu smiled and said to Zhang Junjie after the little bun rejected him, "She doesn''t like strangers holding or touching her."


    "She is so young but has a great sense of security. I love that about her." Zhang Junjie said.


    Zhang Junjie took FangSu to introduce her as his girlfriend to his Zhang family. The Zhang family was happy to receive FangSu, and more especially, Jasmine who became the center of attention again.


    FangSu couldn''t stop talking while introducing the little bun to the Zhang family, but no one dared to touch her, they all smiled at her and greeted her from a distance when they noticed she didn''t like being amid strangers.


    Twenty minutester, the little bun who didn''t seem to like Zhang Junjie, was currently taking a cupcake ???? from him.


    "What did you do you my niece to make her ept something from you?." FangSu asked with a smile.


    "I didn''t do anything, I guess she hase to like me, but she still won''t let me hold her." Zhang Junjie replied with a smiling gaze on Jasmine.


    Jasmine took the cupcake from Zhang Junjie before turning to give it to FangSu.


    "Da Xia, there is a lot of sugar and calories in this cupcake, so I will only allow you to eat just this one, or your mum will scold me if she finds out," FangSu said to the little bun as she removed the wrap from the cupcake before putting it in a te.


    "M¨¡m¨¡" Jasmine called out with her gaze on FangSu, and thetter replied while using her fork to cut the cupcakes into tiny pieces. "Yes, your Mum will be unhappy if you eat a lot of sweet things."


    Jasmine didn''t understand everything she said, so she asked about her father. "Daddy!."


    "Your Dad won''t be happy too. Do you miss them?." FangSu asked.


    The little bun took a step closer to her and put little palms on FangSu''s knees before nodding. She missed her parents.


    "Don''t be sad, you will see them soon, but first, taste the cupcake," FangSu said as she lifted the little bun on her thighs, and picked a piece of cupcake, and sent it into her mouth.


    Zhang Junjie who has been observing the niece and Aunt duo, said with a smile, "You two seem pretty close."


    FangSu smiled and replied while cleaning the frosting on the little bun''s upper lips, "Yes, we are close. But you don''t know how hard I worked for her to be close to me."


    "How hard did you work? What tricks did you use on her?." Zhang Junjie asked with an interesting gaze. He was really curious about FangSu''s method.


    ncing at him, FangSu replied with a teasing gaze, "You want to learn my tricks so you will use them on her? No way, I won''t tell you!."


    Zhang Junjie leaned in and said to her, "Why won''t you tell me, I am your boyfriend."


    FangSu blushed at his words. He was directly referring to himself as her boyfriend, and she was still getting used to it.


    After eating her cupcakes with the fruit juice her Aunt gave to her, Jasmine felt satisfied. FangSu had to wipe her lips clean after she finished the remaining juice in her ss. Just then, Butler Lu came to interrupt them.


    "Miss Su, Old General said it''s time to leave." Butler Lu said after slightly bowing in greeting to Zhang Junjie.


    "Oh! Tell grandfather I will be there in a minute." FangSu replied. Butler Lu nodded and left for the old man''s side.


    "Brother Junjie..." FangSu turned to Zhang Junjie to say, but she was interrupted.


    "Call my Jie." Zhang Junjie said to her. FangSu smiled and called out to him, "Jie, I will be leaving now."


    "That''s okay, call me when you get home, I have something to tell you." Zhang Junjie said.


    "Okay," FangSu replied and got up with the little bun in her arms.


    "I will walk you to your grandfather." Zhang Junjie said to her with a smile. He wanted to meet Grandfather Fu, just to say a word of greeting, but FangSu was scared.


    "Don''t worry, I can go there myself," FangSu said. Knowing she was scared, Zhang Junjie assured her, "Don''t be afraid, I just want to greet him, because it will be disrespectful if I don''t."


    FangSu seemed to ept his words, so she allowed him to follow her out.


    When Zhang Junjie met the legendary old General Fu, he became a little scared but didn''t fail in his manners. He greeted the old man while bowing, and introduced himself as Zhang Junjie, the son of the Zhang family, and as FangSu''s friend.


    Grandfather Fu remembered who he was, because that time Bai Jun tried to snatch him from FangSu, thetter came toin to him about it and begged him to get the Bai family to choose another partner for Bai Jun, and he listened to her.

 Chapter 462 - Jealous Fu Hua

    <h4>Chapter 462 - Jealous Fu Hua</h4>


    On their way back home, Grandfather Fu asked about Zhang Junjie as he also remembered that she appeared on the news with him.


    FangSu who had been afraid to let her grandfather know about the special rtionship between them developed courage and spilled everything out.


    "Grandfather, Junjie, and I are dating."


    Grandfather Fu nced at her and said, "I was about to ask you again if you two were just friends. But why did he say he was your friend?."


    "We were in public, and he felt it would be rude to directly say he was my boyfriend, so he had to introduce himself that way. Grandfather, what do you think about him?." FangSu asked with an expectant gaze. She really wanted to know her grandfather''s opinion about Zhang Junjie.


    "It''s too early to ask. Check on Da Xia, is she sleeping properly?." The old man asked with a worried gaze on his sleeping great-granddaughter.


    FangSu nced at the sleeping little bun in her arms to make sure she wasfortable before replying to her grandfather''s question.


    When they got back home, Fu Hua was already waiting at the entrance of his house, so immediately the driver parked the car, he walked towards the car door and opened it for his old man.


    Grandfather Fu said immediately Fu Hua opened the car door for him, "There is no need to greet me, I know you came for your daughter. She is sleeping, and nothing happened to her."


    Fu Hua didn''t feel embarrassed that his grandfather knew he was worried about his daughter. He just epted his words and proceeded to help him out of the car, before taking the sleeping little bun from FangSu.


    "What did she eat over there?." Fu Hua asked with his gaze on FangSu who just stepped out of the car.


    "She ate.... one cupcake with a little vani frosting and half ss of fresh fruit juice," FangSu replied.


    Jasmine had some food with the old man before FangSu took her out and met Zhang Junjie along the way.


    Fu Hua seemed satisfied with her response and went ahead to ask if his little princess was in difort, and it was at this point that Grandfather Fu had to intervene.


    "You should have allowed us into the house before throwing questions at us because I''m really surprised that you picked up the job of a detective."


    Fu Hua had no words left to say. He slightly bowed to the old man before taking his daughter to leave.


    "Grandfather, why is my brother acting that way? He clearly allowed us to take Jasmine with us, why is he throwing a fit?." FangSu asked with a frown.


    "You will find out when you get married and have your own child. For now, continue working hard on your career. As for that Zhang boy, bring him home soon." Grandfather Fu replied and started walking towards the entrance of the house with Butler Lu behind him.


    FangSu seemed ted and immediately ran to grab the old man''s arm to ask, "Grandfather, are you in support of our rtionship?."


    "Until I sit with the Zhang boy before I can conclude." Grandfather Fu replied.


    "Grandfather, since you are in support of me dating, you have to speak to my father, because he will surely speak against it if he finds out," FangSu said in a low tone.


    "When did I say I was in support? Go and do your work!." Grandfather Fu said with a frown. FangSu was not moved by his change of tone, and instead, let his arm go and said to him...


    "Grandfather, I know you will love Junjie, he has a great personality. Don''t worry, I will bring him home soon." After saying this, FangSu ran into the house.


    Grandfather Fu stood at a ce and watched his granddaughter skip into the house excitedly, before turning to ask Butler Lu, "Do you think I was too rash by agreeing for her to date at this age?."


    Butler Lu smiled and replied, "Sir, age is not a problem, young miss Su is the same age as Miss Jia Li."


    What Butler Lu is saying is this, Jia Li and FangSu are of the same age, but the former was already married and had a year old daughter, so age didn''t matter when ites to allowing FangSu to date.


    Grandfather Fu understood his words and sighed while walking into the house.


    When Fu Hua brought his little princess to his bedroom, he gently ced her on the bed, and went into the bathroom, and returned in less than a minute with a warm towel.


    Sitting beside her on the bed, he used the towel to wipe her face, arms, and legs before taking off her shoes and socks.


    When Jia Li walked into the room, she saw Fu Hua covering the little girl with a small nket.


    "My baby is back?." Jia Li asked in a low tone as she made her way towards the bed with a smiling gaze.


    "She is back. I''m thinking if we should move back to our ce." Fu Hua said.


    Jia Li looked surprised at his suggestion and asked, "Why?"


    "I don''t want her going to so many ces, she is too young for that." Fu Hua replied.


    Jia Li sat on the bed and said to him, "It''s better we stay here because the rest of the family will help Jasmine not to feel our absence every day when we leave her and go to work. And it''s not like she gets to leave all the time."


    "I feel like locking you two up and spending a lot of time with you. I want you two all to myself." Fu Hua said with a frown.


    This young man was being jealous and wanted to have his wife and his daughter all to himself.


    "You are acting like youck love, do you want some cuddling?." Jia Li asked with open arms.


    "You know I wouldn''t say no." Fu Hua said as he immediately dived into her embrace.. Jia Li, on the other hand, wrapped her hands around his waist and kissed his forehead.

 Chapter 463 - Scout For Models

    <h4>Chapter 463 - Scout For Models</h4>


    FJ is yet to announce to the public about the new idea with their newbies, and the newbies were yet to find out about their idea as well. So basically, they were just working hard as normal with an extra effort.


    Fu Hua spoke with FJ''s board of directors abouting up with something their newbies would do to attract the attention and interest of the public, and they decided that there will be apetition for the Top 10 newbies to showcase their capabilities.


    And the Top 3 out of thatpetition, will be given a chance to partake in a huge project in the future, plus, they would receive an award ???? from FJ and also an international recognition.


    Fu Hua and his Executive board of directors, decided to fix a date in December to hold the big show abd they waited until the 3rd week of October to notify the creative arts department about their decisions.


    After Sunny got the final statement from Fu Hua directly, she announced to all the newbies about the news, so they could start getting prepared.


    Sunny announced to them, that they would each design and make 5 dresses, and they should also prepare a name of their collection, so in total, 50 pieces of new dresses, will be disyed on the day of the show.


    The thing about thispetition, was that all the designers partaking in it would have to fight for resources which includes materials, models that will wear their clothes, and other things.


    The workspace was not a problem, because Sunny and her assistant creative directors, made 10 rooms avable for the newbies to work in.


    Now, this was bound to be a verypetitive show which will keep the newbies up on their toes to deliver something breathtaking.


    FJ has made everything avable, now it was left for the newbies to make use of them and use the resources to their own advantage.


    The next day, the newbies moved into their new workspace which they would only upy from now till the end of the show.


    Jia Li could smell stress on the way. Before getting into FJ, she had no idea that there was nothing like rest in their log sheet, and Fu Hua didn''t tell her that there was no break here.


    Jia Li and her colleagues didn''t see themselves fighting for resources in the course of thispetition, but now that it looks like what they would have to do, everyone disbanded their friendship till thepetitiones to an end. To the newbies now, they saw each other aspetitors, and not colleagues.


    Once again, Sunny and her assistant creative art directors had to supervise 3 students each, with one of them taking 4 students. And as usual, Sunny picked Jia Li, since she has chosen to mentor her directly.


    Mari¨¦ has always been Chyou''s favorite person, while the male creative director, picked Linda. And like that, they all picked a total of 5 people to oversee during the course of thepetition.


    First and foremost, the newbies have to choose a theme for their collection, and probably pick a name for their collection before designing, or designing before picking a name for their collection.


    The newbies were given 4 days to finish their illustration and submit it to their Superiors for review, and after it has been approved, they could now start fighting for resources.


    During dinner, Jia Li looked like she has been stressed and being worried about her, Grandfather Fu asked her if she was being bullied by Fu Hua.


    "Grandfather, my colleagues, and I are in a hugepetition that is yet to be announced to everybody. Now, we have to fight for resources to make our dress, and also persuade models to wear them on that day." Jia Li replied in a tired tone. She was already exhausted froming up with a few designs.


    This was the first time Jia Li had toin about work in front of the whole family, and this means that she was really stressed. Fu Hua who was watching the little bun feed herself chose to remain quiet.


    "Sister-inw, are you looking for models? I will model for you, what kind of show is that?." FangSu asked with a smile.


    "I will model for you too, just give me the date for the show, so my assistant can add it to my schedule." Fu Meixu replied.


    "You both want to want to model for me?." Jia Li asked with a surprised gaze on FangSu and Fu Meixu, because she didn''t think they would want to wear her clothes on that kind ofpetition.


    "Yes, why wouldn''t we want to wear your clothes? Just tell us the kind of show it is, so we can be prepared." FangSu said.


    "I will definitely clear up my schedule if there is anything on that day." Fu Meixu replied.


    Jia Li looked to be in a dilemma because she doesn''t think they would be as enthusiastic as now when they hear the kind of show it is.


    Seeing how everybody was waiting for her to speak, and the initiator of the whole deal wasn''t helping her, she was forced to speak.


    "Actually, it''s an internalpetition in FJ."


    "What!" FangSu and Fu Meixu both eximed in surprise, as they didn''t expect her to tell them that kind of thing.


    How could an A-list celebrity, and an International model, model in that kind of smallpetition, they may end up gettingughed at?


    "Why are you both screaming, what is wrong now?." Fu Hee asked with a frown.


    "Aunty is just that thispetition is so little for us to partake in. If it was something huge, there wouldn''t be a problem epting it, but it is not beneficial to my image especially, and my agency won''t ept it. But Jia Li doesn''t have to worry about getting models, because I will help her get good ones to use for herpetition." Fu Meixu replied.


    "What do you mean by that, you just epted to model for her, why are you turning her down now?.." Fu Geming asked while staring at his daughter angrily.

    <h4>Chapter 464 - Jia Li Gets Scolded Indirectly</h4>


    "Uncle, there is no need to scold anyone, they are right. This is an internalpetition which might not make it big, and their reputation is important as no agency would want their models to partake in that kind of show with less exposure." Fu Hua said without batting an eye.


    "What do you mean by that, shouldn''t you be helping your wife?." Fu Lei asked in an angry tone.


    "I am actually helping her. She can''t get things freely, she has to work for it. She has to learn how to convince people if she wants them to ept her proposal." Fu Hua replied.


    "But cousin, you have to be a little considerate of the fact that she has a daughter to take care of." Fu Ling said with a frown.


    "Yes, brother, Sister-inw will be tired out, you saying this is not encouraging." Fu YingPei replied.


    Everyone was not in support of Fu Hua''s method, as they all felt that it was unfair to Jia Li. But Grandfather Fu remained quiet now because he has just epted the facts Fu Hua ced before then.


    "Surely having a child shouldn''t be a barrier to work like the others, and I''m sure this wouldn''t be an issue. I am the CEO of FJ Styles, and I am also her husband, but I shouldn''t because of my rtionship with her, break the rules. And actually, I am helping her because she is too soft and can get bullied if I am not in his position." Fu Hua said.


    Fu Hua was making sense, but still, there was a conception that he didn''t have to take things that way, and shouldn''t treat his wife like the rest of his employees.


    Jia Li was seeing another side of Fu Hua. He wasn''t willing to let her have things so easily and wanted to put her under pressure to learn. Jia Li had emotions, and she definitely felt bad even though he was kind of right from the work perspective because if he was not her boss, she wouldn''t dare toin to her boss, she would just have to put up with everything.


    Jia Li currently had mixed feelings, and she felt like crying and hitting Fu Hua for what he was doing.


    Seeing as everyone remained quiet, Fu Hua turned to nce at Jia Li before saying to her in a gentle tone, "Jia Li, this is a piece of advice as your Boss. Miss FangSu and Miss Meixu have refused to model for your collection because they think the exposure won''t be big enough to match their fame, what will you do to convince them that wearing your clothes for thepetition will be worth it? And don''t forget that you still need to talk to 3 more models."


    "Fu Hua, you are being harsh!." Fu Hee said as she angering got to her feet after mming her chopsticks ???? on the dinner table.


    Fu Lei had to pull Fu Hee to sit because she just vited a rule at the dinner table.


    "Mum, I''m not being harsh. I want Jia Li to be able to defend her efforts in the future because once we announce her identity as my wife, people are going to question her. Even though she is skilled enough and we believe her, but what about the others? She needs to work hard for everything she needs to the point that nobody will dare to question her because if they do, there will be many people having her back." Fu Hua replied.


    Fu Hua was trying to make Jia Li strong and independent, but it looks like his method were fierce and unapologetic.


    Jia Li didn''t know when tears rolled down her cheeks and fell on her palms. She has been holding her chopsticks for a while now without eating anything.


    Grandfather Fu was the first to notice Jia Li''s tears. He felt bad that he didn''t speak up for her, and so gently squeezed her palms infort.


    Jia Li had her head lowered, so not many knew she was crying. Fu Hua also had no idea that his wife was crying until he heard her sniff, and that came as a shock to him when he lifted her face and saw her tear-stained cheeks.


    "You... why are you crying?." Fu Hua asked with a surprised gaze. Jia Li got up from her seat and bowed slightly before walking away while wiping her tears.


    "Hua, your words were harsh." Grandfather Fu said after Jia Li left.


    "Fu Hua, how can you make your wife cry, you have to go after her." Fu ChuHua said with a wire is gaze.


    FangSu and Fu Meixu felt guilty for not epting Jia Li''s proposal, and now, she got indirectly scolded by Fu Hua, and his harsh words made her cry.


    "None of you should raise your voice, Da Xia is still here." Grandfather Fu said with his gaze on the little bun who looked a little tense with the atmosphere in the dining room.


    "Princess, I will be right back." Fu Hua said to the little bun as he got up to chase after Jia Li, but Jasmine started to cry. She just saw her mother leave, and now, her father wanted to leave too.


    Fu Hua asked his mother to look after the little girl before disappearing from their view.


    When Jia Li walked into the bedroom, she sat on the bed and let her tears flow. She felt that her husband''s words were a bit harsh, and she was not used to him speaking that way to her, so she felt emotional.


    She has been working her ass off, just so she could prove her talents, only to be told off by him.


    A minuteter, she got up from the bed and wiped her tears. She kept asking herself why she was crying and only discovered she cried because Fu Hua was not just her boss, but also her husband, and yet he treated her like any other employee he had under him.


    Jia Li was about consoling herself when Fu Hua walked into the room.. Jia Li thought she was seeking better until she saw him, and that''s when she knew she still had a big lump in her throat.

 Chapter 465 - A Few Tips From Fu Hua

    <h4>Chapter 465 - A Few Tips From Fu Hua</h4>


    Jia Li stared at Fu Hua with her red eyes as he walked towards her with a frown. On the other hand, Fu Hua was thinking that Jia Li was going to push him away if he tries to touch her, but nothing happened when he gently grabbed her arm and brought her into his embrace tofort her.


    "I''m sorry my words came out wrong." Fu Hua said as he hugged her waist with one hand, and used the other to pat her back while she resumed crying again.


    "Why were you so mean to me?." Jia Li asked in a sad tone. She was still unhappy with the manner he tries to convey his words.


    "I''m sorry, I was trying to teach you without knowing that I was harsh. I''m so sorry, don''t cry okay..." Fu Hua apologized and kisses her hair as he continues to rub her back.


    It took a few minutes for Jia Li to calm down. She slowly stopped crying but refused to let go of Fu Hua to his amusement.


    "We left Jasmine downstairs, let''s go and get her, she was crying when I was leaving." Fu Hua said to her in a low gentle tone after he kisses her hair again.


    Jia Li finally looked up at him to ask, "Do you think I should go downstairs with you looking his way? I''m sure my face is a mess right now."


    "You just need to wash your face and dry it with a towel, then we are good to go." Fu Hua said as he cupped her face.


    Jia Li pouted her lips and said, "It''s all your fault for making me cry."


    "I know, and I''m sorry. You need to see what you look like right now. Guess who you look like." Fu Hua asked with a smile while still cupping her face.


    Jia Li looked a bit confused as she asked, "I don''t know, who do I look like right now?."


    Fu Hua leaned in close to whisper to her, "You look like that cute little bun that is probably throwing a fit because her parents left her side at the dinner table."


    "You are talking about Jasmine!." Jia Li said as she finally chuckled softly.


    "Yes, you look a lot like Jasmine now. Let''s go to the mirror so you can see the striking resemnce." Fu Hua said as he took her hand and started walking off towards the bathroom.


    Jia Li looked excited as she followed him to the bathroom. She looked very happy when he said that she looked a lot like Jasmine because her friends told her that Jasmine looked like Fu Hua.


    In the bathroom, Fu Hua was pointing out her features that looked like their daughter''s.


    "...she has your round eyes, small lips, and that feisty look when you are annoyed." Fu Hua said with a smile while pointing all these out for her.


    "You are really making me feel like Jasmine is in me, but why does she love you more than me? I gave birth to her, and she still snuggles into my embrace at night." Jia Liined.


    "I think she is trying to show us both that she loves us equally, but she doesn''t know how to do that. When you left, she noticed the tense atmosphere, and then when I joined you, her emotions were triggered, and she started to cry." Fu Hua replied.


    "I guess so." Jia Li said with her gaze on the mirror. She was still looking out for the features Fu Hua pointed out that she shared with their little bun.


    "Come, I will help you to clean your face." Fu Hua said as he picked up a towel and put it under the tap to make it wet, before using it to clean Jia Li''s face.


    A few minutester, Jia Li and Fu Hua returned to their bedroom. Jia Li''s face was looking brighter and better now, and they were about to leave for the dining when Fu Hua brought the crying little girl to them.


    Jasmine only stopped crying when her mother hugged and confirmed her for a while in her embrace.


    Fu Hee only left when she confirmed that Jia Li was feeling better. Even after crying, the little bun refused to leave her mother''s embrace. She ced her head on her breasts andid there obediently.


    It wasforting to be in her mother''s embrace. Jia Li kept smiling and calling her Baby while asking her not to be sad.


    "To make up for my mistakes earlier, I will give you a few tips for thepetition. I won''t go against the rules for you, but I will do the things that we necessary." Fu Hua revealed.


    He was still feeling guilty about how he made his wife cry, so he wanted to make up for it. And by making up for it, Fu Hua gave Jia Li a few secrets.


    For example, just like her colleagues, Jia Li was given 4 days to produce the 5 illustration designs for her work and submit them to her supervisor which is Sunny for approval, and only when her illustration has been approved can she start getting the materials for the dressmaking ready.


    Now here is Fu Hua''s trick. He advised her to try to do whatever tasks were assigned to her within half of the time, or the number of days she was given, and only then would she be able to get the best of the resources already provided.


    For example, she was given 4 days to provide her illustrations, but now, she was going to provide them within 2 days and submit them to Sunny for approval, and once Sunny approves the production, the next step was to start sourcing for her materials from thepany''s factory.


    Jia Li got the deal and decided to try it. That night, after FangSu and Fu Meixu, brought dinner to the bedroom for her as a way to apologize, she epted it, and when she finished eating, she left for the workshop to start working on her illustrations.


    Jia Li spent all night going through her illustrations, but old and new, and trying to develop new ideas. Jia Li used the illustration tab Fu YingPei gifted her to draw her illustrations.


    Fu Hua had toe around past 1 AM to drag her back to the bedroom to sleep since she had work the next day.

 Chapter 466 - Sunny Suspects Jia Lis Real Identity

    <h4>Chapter 466 - Sunny Suspects Jia Li''s Real Identity</h4>


    The next day, Jia Li continue with her illustration at work. But close to the time for lunch, she noticed an ufortable feeling in her lower abdomen and a familiar feeling in-between her legs and guessed that her period must havee.


    Jia Li had to take permission from Sunny to go to a nearby store to get something important. Since it was almost time for a break, Sunny allowed her to leave.


    Without wasting time, Jia Li took her bag and left thepany, and went to a convenience store to buy a pack of sanitary pads. She also got into a departmental store to get a new set of undies to change the one she was putting on, which was already stained by now.


    Thankfully when Jia Li returned to FJ and went to use thedy''s restroom, she didn''t stain much, so she used the pad and the new panties she got.


    Coming out from one of the cubicles to wash and dry her hands, her bag turned upside down and the contents fell and scattered on the floor.


    Jia Li looked annoyed while staring at her things that poured out. She quickly washed and dried her hands before squatting to pick them up. The first item she picked up, was her phone. After ncing at the screen to make sure it did not crack, she sighed in relief and ced it on the stand/table/sink before going on to pick the other items.


    While picking up those things, Sunny walked into the restroom and saw the mess on the floor, and squatted to help her pick them.


    "Thank you!." Jia Li said in a low tone.


    "It''s fine, hope you''re okay?." Sunny asked as she passed a lipstick ???? to Jia Li, before going on to pick up what looks like an ID from the floor.


    "I''m fine thank you!." Jia Li replied.


    When Sunny was about to pass the ID card to Jia Li, she saw something that made her suspicious. The name written on the ID said ''Fu Jia Li''. And as far as she knows, Jia Li used the name, ''Qin Jia Li'' to get into FJ, and she thought that was her husband''s surname.


    Jia Li who had just finished picking up thest item on the floor, moved her gaze to Sunny, only to see her ID in her hand. She became scared and out of reflex action, she immediately snatched the ID from Sunny while hoping that she didn''t see the details there.


    "Thank you for your help, Miss Sunny." Jia Li said with a smile as she put her ID card in her bag before standing to her feet.


    Sunny who was already standing after Jia Li snatched the ID card, faked a smile, as she said, "No worries" but then, her gaze moved to Jia Li''s phone as its screen just lit up because a silent notification just came on.


    That few seconds her screen lit up, Sunny saw Jia Li''s screen saver. It was a picture of Jia Li and a little child. Sunny thought the little child in the picture looks familiar, but before she could take a good look, the phone screen went off, and that was when Jia Li turned to grab her phone.


    "Hope you''re okay? Your face looks dull." Sunny asked as she finally arranged her raging emotions.


    "It''s nothing serious, Miss Sunny. My period just came, and I wasn''t prepared, so I have to deal with it." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    Sunny frowned and asked, "Are you sure you don''t need help with anything? I have a pain relief drug in case you need one."


    "No, thank you, I''m all good now. Thank you Miss Sunny for your help." Jia Li said in a respectful tone before walking away.


    After Jia Li disappeared from the restroom, Sunny was lost in thought, as different conceptions starteding up in her head.


    Clearly, she saw Jia Li''s picture on the ID card that bore the name, ''Fu Jia Li'' and now, she was beginning to wonder if the family she married into, bore the name, ''FU''. Not only that, Sunny still found the child in the screensaver familiar, but before she can continue with her thoughts and spection, she had to make use of the bathroom first.


    When Jia Li returned to her office, she sighed in relief that she was not caught. She quickly took out her phone, and the screen lit up and unlocked immediately.


    She was a text from one of her close friends, DanDan. DanDan was a model now, and immediately Jia Li saw her name, she got an idea to get her to wear one of her clothes, but then she became worried as she began to think if it would be appropriate to use a model who was not famous for thepetition. Jia Li was now thinking if Sunny will approve of it or not.


    Putting her worries aside, Jia Li opened the text to read the message, while on the other hand, Sunny has been restless since she saw the two disturbing information about Jia Li.


    Immediately she returned to her office, She immediately used her desktop to look up the name, ''Fu Jia Li'' on the inte, but she found no reasonable information. She saw people with a simr name to the one on Jia Li''s ID, but she didn''t see anyone with Jia Li''s picture.


    ''Could the information have been hidden, blocked, or deleted?.'' Sunny thought with a frown.


    While thinking of this, a shocking idea came to Sunny''s head as she immediately searched for, ''Fu Hua''s wife'' on the inte. She read all the articles concerning the topic, but never saw Jia Li''s name, in fact, nobody knew the name of Fu Hua''s wife, as thetter and the Fu family had never divulged her name.


    Sunny was getting a bit restless until she came across the pictures of Fu Hua''s wife that were posted on the inte, and they were the pictures from the 1st birthday party of her Boss''s daughter.


    From all the pictures posted, no one could tell or show her what she was looking for. The person in the picture did not resemble Jia Li in any way.


    Their hairstyles were different, and even though the side profile was seen in the picture, but it didn''t look simr to Jia Li''s because their make-up was very different.


    ''Could it be because it was a different person that made them up?''


    Sunny was right because Jia Li puts on makeup by herself every morning, but during her special asions in the Fu family, a professional makeup artist would doll her up, hence, the reason she looked different from her pictures on the.

 Chapter 467 - Sunnys Conclusion

    <h4>Chapter 467 - Sunny''s Conclusion</h4>


    Sunny looked disturbed while going through the pictures from Jasmine''s first birthday until she saw Jasmine''s photos.


    The little bun''s photos were not enough to link her to the child''s photo she saw on Jia Li''s phone, but something else did. The same hair ribbon used on Jasmine''s hair at her birthday party was the same one on the child she saw on Jia Li''s phone.


    Sunny has a photographic memory, so she was very sure she wasn''t wrong with what she saw. But to prove that she was right, she snapped the hair ribbon and browsed it on the inte. She wanted to check the brand and its worth.


    When Sunny saw the worth of the hair ribbon, that was not all that made her surprised, but at the fact that there was no imitation of the hair ribbon yet, and there won''t be one, because it was customized for Jasmine.


    Since there was only one of that hair-ribbon in the world, Sunny concluded that Jia Li was the mother of the little princess of the Fu family, and was also her Boss''s wife.


    Havinge to this conclusion, Sunny was beyond shocked. She couldn''t believe ''The Hidden Wife of the Cold CEO'' that has been making rounds on the inte, worked as a newbie designer in FJ, and was currently under her supervision.


    Sunny was so shocked that her hands began to vibrate on their own. Never in her wildest imagination would she have thought that Jia Li who looked so soft but was very talented, was the wife of FJ''s Boss.


    This conclusion led Sunny to start reminiscing about how Fu Hua managed to get JL to sell her designs to them even before she could post them.


    All those times Fu Hua got JL to sell her designs, when she, the creative Arts director was not able to meet her, could only be because Fu Hua had ess to her. And now that she hade to this conclusion, it didn''t seem weird since Fu Hua and Jia Li were married.


    Sunny remembered Jia Li''s response when she first wanted to sign her into FJ to be a designer after she graduated from her prestigious college. Jia Li''s words also rang clearly in her head when she started working in FJ, and she asked her about the family problem she had.


    Thinking back to that time, Sunny discovered that that moment could be the period she was pregnant, gave birth, and nursed her child for a while before joining FJ through thatpetition.


    Now that she thought about it, Jia Li shared the same birthday with Fu Hua''s wife and daughter. This was not just a coincidence, but the reality.


    "I can''t believe this!." Sunny said at loud. She was still in shock that she has been in darkness for this long. It was now that she knew the reason Fu Hua did not reject her idea of making Jia Li her personal assistant so she could being to his office to get some documents signed and bring them back for her because of how busy she was most time.


    Jia Li who was working hard with her illustrations was oblivious to Sunny''s thoughts. She forgot to have lunch because of how preupied she was. Sunny, on the other hand, went for lunch, but couldn''t eat, she dumped her food and went back to her office with an annoyed countenance.


    Sunny was annoyed because she couldn''t get the thought of Jia Li being the hidden wife of Fu Hua off her head.


    Throughout the remaining period at work for that day, Jia Li and Sunny did not see each other.


    When Jia Li returned home, she had just walked into the house, when the little bun who was ying by herself with her building blocks, saw her and immediately became excited while calling out to her happily, "M¨¡m¨¡!"


    While calling out to her mother, Jasmine pushed her toys aside and got to her feet before walking quickly to her side to hug her legs.


    Jia Li had been afraid that she would trip and fall, but it looked like she worried for nothing. The happy mother immediately lifted her little bun and nted kisses on her chubby cheeks.


    "Jasmine, mum is very hungry, did you leave some food for me?." Jia Li asked as she carried her straight and walked towards the stairs. The little bun nodded her head with a smile.


    "Really?." Jia Li asked with a surprised gaze, and the little bun nodded obediently. "Where is it?." Jia Li asked.


    The little bun pointed towards the stairs and said in her cute baby voice, "Dada." Her response caused Jia Li tough out loud.


    "Are you saying that Daddy is with the food you left for me?." Jia Li asked as she climbed the stairs.


    "Yes," Jasmine replied as she pped her hands.


    Jia Li thought the little bun was joking when she said she left some food for her with her father. When Jia Li carried the little bunny to meet Fu Hua in the room to confirm that the lite bun said, Fu Hua said the little bun gave him some rice cakes.


    What happened was this... When Fu Hua git back home, he met the little bun eating rice cakes and asked her to give him some.


    Jasmine gave him one rice cake, and seeing how small it was, Fu Hua asked, "Give me one for your mummy."


    Hearing about her mother, the little bun gave another one to her father, and that was when Jia Li came back and asked Jasmine if she left some food for her, the little bun said that she gave it to her father.


    "Jasmine you''re so smart." Jia Li said as she pinched the little bun''s cheeks.


    "I''m so tired and hungry, I skipped lunch today because I was overwhelmed with work." Jia Li said with her gaze on Fu Hua who seemed to be very busy with his tablet.


    "Go and freshen up, I will ask the servants to deliver some food for you." Fu Hua said to her.


    "I will leave my baby in your care." Jia Li said as she tried to put the little bun on the bed, but she refused.. She clung tightly to her body and refused toe down.

 Chapter 468 - Results In Time

    <h4>Chapter 468 - Results In Time</h4>


    "Jasmine, I will hold youter, I want to have my bath now." Jia Li spoke softly to the little bun, but it didn''t make sense to her.


    Fu Hua nced over and said to her, "Maybe she wants to join you, or she wants you to hold her for a longer time."


    "She can''t bath with me, and I am on my period, I need to freshen up really quick because I am ufortable." Jia Li revealed.


    "You are on your period?." Fu Hua asked with a surprised gaze.


    "Yeah, it came earlier this month, please help me to record it on my phone." Jia Li said as she put her bag on the bed.


    Fu Hua first picked up his phone to make a call to FangSu. He first asked if she was at home before asking her toe to his bedroom to take Jasmine away.


    It was very easy for FangSu to take the little bun away because she promised to get her ice cream.


    Now that she was finally free, Jia Li went to freshen up, and when she came back to the bedroom, her food has been served already. When she sat down to eat, she noticed that Fu Hua was still on his tab. Thinking it was work-rted, she asked if there was any problem with a client, but he said there was none.


    "Since I walked into the room, you have been on your tab, what are you looking at?." Jia Li asked.


    Fu Hua was secretly going through some wedding ns on the inte and seeing his wife kept pestering him about having been on his tab since she returned, he closed the sites and put his tablet away.


    "I was looking at some pictures." Fu Hua replied.


    "Whose pictures?." Jia Li asked.


    Fu Hua chuckled and came to her side, "It looks like you are not hungry. Youined of skipping lunch, so I asked someone to bring you food, but you are busy questioning me."


    "I''m just curious as to what has been keeping you preupied. Did you register my period start date?." Jia Li asked with her gaze on her food.


    "I did that, and I also linked it to my phone. How was work today?." Fu Hua asked as he sat next to her.


    "It was great. I need 6 more hours toplete my designs so I can submit them to Miss Sunny when I get to work tomorrow morning." Jia Li replied.


    "You have really made great progress. If I wasn''t your boss, I would have asked you to show the illustrations to me so I can make some corrections before you show them to Sunny. Nevertheless, I trust you." Fu Hua said to her.


    Before going to bed that night, Jia Li finished up with her illustrations and printed them out. After breakfast in the morning, she quickly left for thepany.


    Jia Li arrived early at work but was surprised to see that Sunny came before her.


    Jia Li knocked and walked into her office.


    "Good morning, Miss Sunny."Jia Li greeted politely.


    "Good morning, JL, how are you?." Sunny asked with a neutral gaze. She was feeling much better today.


    "I''m fine, thank you!."Jia Li replied.


    "You are here so early, what about your child?." Sunny asked curiously. Work starts at 8 AM, and this was 7:35 AM, and as someone with a little child, she was wondering why she would leave the house so early.


    "She is being taken care of, and for this period, she understands that I will be very busy. My illustrations are ready, so I brought them for you to approve." Jia Li said as she passed a file to her.


    Sunny took the file from her and said to her, "You are so fast, you still have two more days left."


    "I know. I just wanted to get results on time." Jia Li replied.


    "I can see how puffy your eyes are, you must have stayed upte. You can go back to your office and wait for me to call you in the next 20 minutes." Sunny. said while keeping the file on one side of her desk.


    When Jia Li went back to her office and was waiting for the twenty minutes to be up, she booked an appointment with FJ''s fabric factory. She already knew the materials she would be working with, and she needed to get them on time before it goes out of stock.


    Twenty minutester, Sunny called Jia Li into her office for discussion. Jia Li chose to go with J-mine for her collection as she was dedicating it to her little daughter for the times she would neglect her in order to create the designs.


    Sunny asked Jia Li a series of questions about her designs and made a few pointers before approving them.


    Jia Li was very busy today. From the factory, she went straight to the warehouse. And when she was dine getting her materials ready, it was time to move over to the next level.


    Two weekster, FJ started to publicize the little show they would have on the first weekend in December. Something that was not looking like it would be huge at first became the talk of the town.


    Because of the level of publicity FJ invested in their newbie designers when they wereing in, the public did not seem to have forgotten them, and they were looking forward to how much experience they have gained since entering FJ.


    While she had just 2 dresses left in production, Jia Li submitted the names of the models she wanted to invite to wear her clothes on that day.


    When Sunny saw the names she submitted, she stared at her for a few seconds before going on to scrutinize her list.


    After going through the names, Sunny pointed at the first 2 names on the list and asked, "Why do you want to you these people?."


    The first two names on the list were, Fu FangSu and Fu Meixu. Anyone who saw that would know that these two were daughters of the Fu family. One was now an A-list actress, while the other was an International model before returning to her home country.


    Sunny was curious as to the reason Jia Li wanted to use them.


    ''Is it because they are her sisters-inw?..'' Sunny thought while waiting for Jia Li''s response.

 Chapter 469 - Picking Models

    <h4>Chapter 469 - Picking Models</h4>


    "They already have a media presence, they are popr and are good with what they do. If they wear my clothes, it will help to boost the exposure." Jia Li replied.


    Sunny put down the list and said to her, "Don''t you have the confidence that you don''t need popr models to make your work stand out?"


    "The truth is that I have the confidence but I don''t want to overlook some things. I want to win thispetition, so I''m going to go all out for it." Jia Li replied with confidence.


    She had confidence in her works but this was apetition, so she had to do the needful no matter how beautiful her work was.


    "I like what you said. So, how do you n to contact Miss FangSu and Miss Meixu?" Sunny asked with a curious gaze as she really wanted to know what Jia Li''s response would be.


    "That''s another reason I''m here. I need to know what kind of show and how big it will be, so I can convince them because they already rejected before." Jia Li revealed.


    Jia Li''s revtion came as a shock to Sunny who was not expecting her to be rejected by the Fu sisters since they were now family or did she get everything wrong?


    "You were already rejected by them?" Sunny asked with a rather surprised gaze.


    "Yes. Nobody wants to work on a show that wouldn''t benefit them and besides, their agencies may not agree to that, so I n to get a better understanding of the show, so I will put my words in order and try to convince them again." Jia Li replied with a determined gaze.


    She really wanted people as popr as her two sisters-inw to model her clothes in order to boost her presence. Jia Li can''t let Fu Hua down after all he had taught her.


    Sunny who earlier thought that Jia Li was having things easy on her? since she was a member of the Fu family, had a change of mindset. She now saw that Jia Li was not having things easy on her side but that helped her to feel a bit better.


    Sunny liked Jia Li and would love to assist her in any way she can but provided that she doesn''t take advantage of her status to win or get things done.


    Sunny heaved a deep sigh before saying to Jia Li, "I will give you all the important details about the show because you asked. Normally if no one asks any question about it, we are not allowed to say anything out of our will."


    The thing here is that the people at the top are not allowed to say anything to any of thepetitors concerning the important details of thepetition/show if they do not ask about it. So now that Jia Li has asked about it, she will surely get answers. But there was a limit to what information she could get.


    "First of all, you need to improvise on the models you selected. It''s possible that they might have something on, on that day or an ident may happen. Without a backup n, everything you ever had in mind will be ruined." Sunny advised in a serious tone.


    After listening to her, Jia Li knew that her words were important and made a lot of sense and she agreed with her.


    After studying Jia Li''s countenance, and seeing that her words were not for fancy, Sunny felt relieved and brought out a file from her desk.


    "This is the list of all the models FJ works with, you can contact any of them to help you out. And don''t forget that I''m not the only one with this list."


    "Thank you, Miss Sunny." Jia Li said gratefully as she received the file from her.


    What Sunny meant was that she was not the only Supervisor that had the list, as her other assistants will also share the list with their students, so she had to pay attention to the models she would picking and also contact them first before the others do.


    "That''s my job, no need to thank me. What about this model with the name, **** DanDan, I have never heard about her before." Sunny asked as she pointed at the 4th name on Jia Li''s list.


    Jia Li nced at the name she was pointing at and replied, "DanDan is my friend and she is not that popr because she hasn''t worked with a named brand before but I would like to use her as one of my models."


    "Because she is your friend?" Sunny asked with a serious gaze on her. She sounded a little disappointed at the fact that Jia Li picked a model that was not popr because of the rtionship she had with the person.


    "Yes and I would love to give her career a boost. This exposure will benefit her a lot and that is the reason I want to utilize this opportunity." Jia Li replied.


    Although it may look like DanDan was not worthy of this opportunity as she had nothing to offer but Jia Li was sincere in helping to boost her career. Since Jia Li had confidence that her works will be popr, she knew that attention will also be ced on the models, hence, an opportunity to boost her friend''s profile.


    "JL, I am a bit disappointed in your decision concerning this pick. This is business and there are no sentiments in business. When ites to business, don''t pick people based on sentiment, otherwise, you will lose value. But if you insist on picking her, I won''t stop you, the choice is yours to make." Sunny said.


    "Thank you Miss Sunny for the advice." Jia Li said with a slight bow, before picking her list and walking away with it.


    Sunny, seeing that Jia Li has made her decision, let her be as she couldn''t force her to do anything she didn''t want.


    Jia Li went back to her office to go through the list Sunny had given to her, so she could make provisions for her backup n.

 Chapter 470 - Fu Meixu Cancels On Jia Li

    <h4>Chapter 470 - Fu Meixu Cancels On Jia Li</h4>


    After cross-checking her lists, Jia Li called FangSu and Fu Meixu out to invite them for tea during her lunch break.


    "Can you make it by this time, because I really have something important to talk about?" Jia Li asked over the phone and the twodies agreed to meet her.


    Fu Meixu just finished a meeting with her manager and her agency''s director, so she had free time currently, while FangSu said had a rehearsal but woulde to meet her before attending it.


    Jia Li was happy they could make out time to see her despite having their own schedule. Another option would have been to talk to them at home but she was not sure they would still be awake by the time she returned home, since she doesn''t reach home on time these days, so she asked to meet outside.


    Immediately it was time for her lunch break, Jia Li picked up her phone, car keys and purse before leaving her workce.


    Arriving at the cafe she was to meet the Fu sisters, Jia Li was surprised that they were already sitting there and waiting for her.


    "I''m so sorry for keeping you waiting." Jia Li apologized as she hugged them one after another before going to sit down.


    "Not at all, I just got here and Meixu only arrived 2 minutes ago," FangSu replied with a smile.


    "I have to thank you both foring out to see me. Please make your order first before we go straight to business." Jia Li said and called a waiter to take their orders.


    "Jia Li, what did you want to talk about, I know it''s serious by the way you look." Fu Meixu asked with a curious gaze on Jia Li.


    Jia Li thought it would be good to start talking about business while waiting for their order to arrive, so she started off by bringing up the model work she had for them, before exploding the kind ofpetition show FJ was hosting ording to what Sunny revealed to her.


    "...so I would like you to consider my proposal. I have confidence in my work and I know you will get a good exposure since the show would look like the Autumn Fashion Show." Jia Li said to them.


    FangSu was the first person to speak. "Sister-inw, your proposal is better and it makes me want to take up the job immediately. I will speak to my manager about it, so he can make an arrangement for that day."


    "Really? Thank you!" Jia Li said gratefully. She had thought that she would have to do a little more talking before FangSu would agree, so she was very happy when she said she would speak to her manager to make a provision for that date.


    "There is no need to thank me. You have made me want to do this and besides, this will start to help to fulfill my dreams of working with FJ!" FangSu replied.


    FangSu''s career dream has always been to work with FJ but since Bai Jun came into the future and made her burn the bridges, she has not had any opportunity of stepping foot inside FJ to do anything. Now, this opportunity Jia Li presented, would be a stepping stone for her.


    One down! It remained Fu Meixu who was yet to say something, so both Jia Li and FangSu nced at her in participation.


    "When did you say the show was again?" Fu Meixu asked with a slight frown.


    "The first weekend in December, on a Saturday morning precisely." Jia Li replied with a keen gaze on Fu Meixu but looking at her change in facial expression, Jia Li guessed that it may not work out.


    From the first week of December down to the middle of the second week in December, Fu Meixu wouldn''t be in the country as she had a shoot in New York City.


    When Jia Li heard about this, she was only disappointed for a few seconds before cheering up.


    "Howe you have a shoot in New York for this long?" FangSu asked with a frown.


    "I''ming from a meeting with my manager and director and we just concluded about this matter. This is an international opportunity which I can''t miss, especially when I was asked for." Fu Meixu replied.


    "It''s okay, I will fill your ce up." Jia Li said to her.


    "Jia Li, I''m so sorry about this. I would have loved to make the headlines in your dress but I will have to pass. But if you are having trouble contacting someone to fill my ce, I can rmend a senior to you." Fu Meixu said as she tries to make up for her absence.


    "No don''t worry, I have it all covered. Thank you for your time and help, I really appreciate it. Please have something to eat before leaving." Jia Li said to them as the waiter served their order.


    Jia Li was happy that Sunny''s advice has a role to y in this current situation because she won''t be left stranded, as she can now use the backup n she prepared for Fu Meixu.


    "You have beening backte recently, what''s the progress of your work?" Fu Meixu asked.


    "I have made 3 dresses, but they are still in, I haven''t applied the finishing touches on them. I will only start working on their touches when I have the base of the dressespleted." Jia Li replied.


    Since the start of thepetition, she has been going homete because she has been working overtime. And the worst was this week, she now returns home around 7 p.m. because of the work she has to do in the office.


    "I wish you the best because I can see how tiring this is." FangSu said to her.


    "It is tiring but I have to continue working hard for the reward." Jia Li replied.


    Jia Li was the first person to finish her snacks because she was working with time.. She kept ncing at her wristwatch while eating and finally when she was done eating, she left FangSu and Fu Meixu after saying goodbye to them and paying for their order.

 Chapter 471 - A Golden Opportunity To Rise

    <h4>Chapter 471 - A Golden Opportunity To Rise</h4>


    Immediately Jia Li left the cafe and got into her car, she connected her phone to her car''s Bluetooth and immediately dialed DanDan''s contact before driving off.


    Jia Li tried her number several times but she didn''t pick up, so she and no other option than to leave her a voice message. "DanDan call me immediately after you see this message, thank you!"


    When Jia Li returned to her office, she immediately started contacting the other models on her list. She actually contacted their agency directly to ask if they would be free on the first Saturday in December for the show FJ will be hosting.


    Once she gets a positive response, she would immediately inform them of her proposal, so they could set aside that date for her. Immediately after thest sessful call, DanDan''s call came in.


    "Jia Li, I''m sorry that I missed your call, I was in a photoshoot when you called, hope everything is all good?" DanDan asked with a smile.


    "Everything is all good. DanDan I have a job for you." Jia Li said to her.


    "What kind of job?" DanDan asked as she got curious, then Jia Li went on to present her offer.


    The response Jia Li got was unexpected. Instead of replying with words, DanDan had to scream out of excitement which almost damaged Jia Li''s eardrum in the process.


    "What! Do you need to make a request? Of course, I am avable for this!" DanDan said in excitement. She was excited for the privilege opportunity to step her foot inside FJ and then model for her friend who was a popr designer. Of course, she would ept the job, as this will bring her a lot of benefits.


    "I hope this won''t get in the way of your schedule? Also, will your agency ept this?" Jia Li asked worriedly. She was a little bit worried that the date for the show may not be convenient for her.


    "Hell yes, my agency will ept this big deal! This is a golden opportunity for me to rise, of course, they won''t have any objection. Jia Li, thank you for this huge opportunity, I''m grateful!" DanDan said excitedly. She still couldn''t get over the fact that this big deal that could change her life, wasing her away, and she was receiving it effortlessly.


    "I''m d this is convenient for you. You just need to send me your manager''s contact, so I could inform him/her about this offer directly." Jia Li said to her.


    "I will do that right away! I''m sure the girls will go crazy once I tell them about this!" DanDan said happily.


    "I''m sure they will. I''m still working, I will talk to youter and don''t forget to send your manager''s contact to me." Jia Li said in a kind reminder.


    Some minutester after Jia Li had confirmed the booking with DanDan''s manager, Jia Li took her new list to Sunny so she could go through them again.


    Jia Li was not the only person at the stage of contacting models, someone else was as fast as her, that person was none other than, Mari¨¦.


    Chyou who desperately wanted one of her team members to win thepetition handed the model list to Mari¨¦ without thetter asking for it but was rejected.


    "I have my own models that I would want to work with since thepany permits that we can bring our own models, but any extra cost will be on us, so I don''t need that list," Mari¨¦ said to Chyou.


    Chyou felt that Mari¨¦ was disrespectful with the way she spoke to her, but there was no time to rebuke her. The only reason she sometimes tolerated the manner in which she spoke to her was because of her talent.


    Even before getting into FJ, Mari¨¦ has always been the first on the list amongst her peers, and that''s the reason Chyou will always pick her to be in her team.


    Chyou wanted the best people in her team, while Sunny wanted to raise the best team, there was a huge difference between these two.


    When Chyou asked Mari¨¦ about the models she wanted to use for thepetition, thetter showed her the profile of those she wanted to work with.


    Seeing the work experience of the models, and their poprity internationally, a huge frown appeared on her face.


    "Getting these models will be difficult, and besides, the budget is limited, every other extra expense will have to be taken care of by you." Chyou reminded her.


    "I know thepany can not afford more than their total budget for thispetition, so I''m prepared to pay for the extra expense to get the models I want, but luckily for me, one of the model''s is a close friend of mine, and she said she would bring the 4 remaining models as a way to cheer me up. I only have to pay for their feeding and hotel reservation." Mari¨¦ replied confidently.


    Just like any other person would think, Mari¨¦ wanted to use the best models for her clothes. And she happened to have a friend in the model industry who agreed to model her clothes, and also bring the remaining models she would be needing for thepetition.


    Since money was not going to be an issue, Chyou gave her full support, and besides, those models had some years of experience, which was an advantage to her team.


    Soon, everybody learned about the models Mari¨¦ picked, and some were jealous of the fact that she could bring that kind of people to her team.


    Mari¨¦''s action became enough motivation for the people that were lost, and this made Mari¨¦ very proud of herself.


    After setting the matter about her models, Jia Li began to work on her third dress with the help of the assistant FJ allowed her to have.


    For thispetition, FJ made provisions for each of the newbie designers to have 2 people to assist them with their dressmaking.


    Around 4:30 p.m. Jia Li allowed her assistants to leave from work, while she worked till 7 p.m. before deciding to tidy up her things.


    Without Fu Hua''s text, Jia Li wouldn''t have known that it was already sote.

 Chapter 472 - The Fu Familys Worry

    <h4>Chapter 472 - The Fu Family''s Worry</h4>


    Coming back home from work, Jia Li was so exhausted that she went straight toy on the bed without taking off her clothes. She really wanted to close her eyes right now and only open them the next morning.


    Some minutester, Fu Hua walked into the room with the sleeping little bun in his arms. They just finished having lunch when they all learned that Jia Li was back.


    Everyone at the dining table was worried about Jia Liing back sote and leaving so early in the morning. Her health was more important than any other thing but Jia Li did not see things that way as thepetition was very important to her.


    No one was saying that she shouldn''t work hard but they all felt that she was too serious with it but there was no way they would stop her from doing what she liked while knowing how important thepetition was to her.


    The only thing they could do for her was to tell Fu Hua to talk to her to take it easy, while Fu Lei personally arranged for a small security team of three soldiers to watch over her.


    It was not safe for her to drive back home alone at night, so sending a security team to ensure her safety would be the best bet.


    Since they couldn''t stop Jia Li from working, they could at least make sure she is safe.


    Fu Lei wanted to do something for Jia Li, as it always looked like he doesn''t care or contribute to her welfare but that was not true. He was always away from work and there were other people taking care of his daughter-inw but today, he decided to do this after thinking hard.


    Fu Hua agreed to his father''s arrangement and also listened to his grandfather to speak to Jia Li, as they were all concerned about her.


    Jasmine slept off in her dinner seat while eating. The little girl was so tired from the activities in the evening and slept off while eating, so Fu Hua had to bring her away.


    Seeing his wife on the bed while still in her work clothes, Fu Hua walked towards the bed quietly to put down their little daughter before leaving for the bathroom and returned some secondster with a warm towel to clean her face and hands.


    The little bun already had a bath before dinner, so all Fu Hua had to do was wipe her face, hands and legs. After doing that, Fu Hua covered her with a thick nket as this was Winter.


    ncing at his wife who was sleeping so soundly, Fu Hua sighed and went to her side to lift her in his arms before walking into the inner room.


    Jia Li was already deep in sleep but when he ced her on the couch in the walk-in closet, she became conscious and slowly opened her eyes to see Fu Hua unbuttoning her shirt.


    "Hey..." She greeted in a tired tone.


    "I don''t need to ask you how your day was because I can see it already." Fu Hua said to her with creased brows as he took off her shirt.


    Jia Li sighed and said to him, "I don''t have any option left other than to give in my best. I want to bring out the best in me this season and to do that, it will take a toll on me of which I''m prepared for."


    "What about your little daughter, you haven''t had time to spend with her for thest few days. Work is important but don''t neglect your family." Fu Hua said to her as he moved her tired body to lean on him while his hands moved to her back to unhook her bra.


    "I will spend time with her on Sunday, as that is the only time I won''t have to go to work. But other days, I can only cuddle her to sleep or meet her during dinner. I promise this won''t take time." Jia Li said in a low tone.


    She didn''t purposely want to abandon her little child. Shecked time and that was the problem. Another thing is that she couldn''t work from home, she had to work in the office and that is the reason she spends a lot of time at work these days.


    If it was possible to work on the dresses from home, she would get to spend some time with her little daughter but that was not possible.


    Fu Hua stared into her eyes and seeing how tired she was, didn''t feel like scolding or speaking to her. He was sure that she hasn''t had dinner yet.


    "I have set the bath for you, you need to cleanse off the day''s stress, while I go get you dinner." Fu Hua said as he took off her skirt before walking a few steps to bring a bathrobe for her.


    Fu Hua covered her body with the bathrobe and tied it before escorting her to the bathroom to take a bath.


    After watching her settle into the bathtub, Fu Hua said to her, "Don''t sleep here, I''m going to get your dinner."


    "I won''t sleep here, don''t worry you can leave." Jia Li assured him.


    Fu Hua was not satisfied with her response and said to her with a frown, "I''m serious, don''t sleep here. The only reason I set the bath for you, is because I thought you would be too tired to stand and have a shower but looking at how tired you are, it seems that you won''t be able to hold off but don''t worry, I won''t take long."


    "Mmm..." Jia Li hummed in response. What could she? She can''t deny the fact that she was so sleepy right now that she wouldn''t resist dozing off if she mistakenly shut her eyes. If Fu Hua continued to speak to her, she would manage to stay awake.


    "Don''t sleep, just sponge your body for a few seconds and wash everything off. I don''t want you to catch a cold by sleeping in there.." Fu Hua said one more time before walking away while hoping that his wife doesn''t fall asleep in the bathtub.

 Chapter 473 - Jasmine Wakes Jia Li From Sleep

    <h4>Chapter 473 - Jasmine Wakes Jia Li From Sleep</h4>


    Fu Hua''s worry came to reality. After personally bringing dinner for her, he went into the bathroom to check up on her, only to see that she had fallen asleep. She was in fact sleeping so soundly.


    Fu Hua immediately rushed to her side and lifted from the bathtub while calling out to her.


    "This little woman, I told you not to fall asleep in the bathtub, why don''t you listen!" Fu Hua berated her.


    Fu Hua was angry for the risk Jia Li took by sleeping in the bathtub but he was also as much worried about her, so right now, his facial expression wasced with worry as he cleaned her with a towel and quickly wrapped a bathrobe around her body.


    "I''m sorry I was so tired." Jia Li replied with her eyes closed as she wrapped her hands around his neck when he lifted her in his arms.


    Fu Hua didn''t say anything anymore as he felt relieved that her head didn''t slip into the bathtub while he was away. He carried Jia Li into the walk-in closet and helped her to get dressed before carrying her into the bedroom to have dinner.


    "I''m okay." Jia Li said as she wedged Fu Hua''s hand. This was the fifth spoon of food she was eating and she was already saying that she was satisfied.


    "How can you be okay when you haven''t eaten anything? Don''t worry, I won''t force you to eat too much, just finish this small bowl of food and I will let you sleep." Fu Hua said to her in a gentle tone. He knew she just wanted to sleep, so she said she didn''t want to eat anymore.


    Jia Li frowned and opened her eyes slowly. She looked so annoyed while staring at Fu Hua.


    "I really don''t want to eat." She insisted.


    Looking at how annoyed and sleepy his little wife was, Fu Hua said to her, "Okay, just eat 2 more spoons and I will let you go. I''m only worried that you are not eating properly."


    Since he said 2 more spoons, then she will eat two more spoons of food and then go straight to sleep.


    Later, Jia Li regretted agreeing to eat the two spoons of food he gave to her because they were worth 5 spoons instead.


    Jia Li who wanted toin couldn''t do that because Fu Hua diverted her attention.


    "Give your daughter a good night kiss before going to bed." Fu Hua reminded her.


    "I almost forgot about my baby." Jia Li said as she made her way towards the bed and quickly got into it.


    "Jasmine, I missed you so much!" Jia Li said as she kissed the little bun''s cheeks before pulling her to into her arms. The little bun moved ufortably in her arms before restingfortably after recognizing her warmth.


    Fu Hua sighed as he watched the mother and daughter snuggled against each other. He really felt bad for the mother and daughter. He was beginning to regret while he spoke to Jia Li that way before, as it was one of the things that contributed to her working tirelessly.


    After sending the te away, Fu Hua came back and picked up Jia Li''s handbag and took out her phone from it. Next, he unlocked and went straight to her clock to turn off all the rms she set.


    When Fu Hua joined the mother and daughter on the bed, he hugged Jia Li from behind and kissed her before whispering gently to her ears, "You work so hard, take it easy."


    The next morning, Fu Hua and the little bun woke up before Jia Li. When Jasmine woke up and saw her mother sleeping beside her, it took her a while before she recognized who she was since was a little sleepy and was not used to waking up to see her mother these past few days.


    Fu Hua smiled when he saw the little girl staring at her sleeping mother. He encouraged her to kiss her mother and hug her as a form of greeting and when Jasmine did that, Jia Li moved in her sleep but that didn''t wake her up. She felt disturbed and turned her back on the little bun.


    "M¨¡m¨¡..." Jasmine said in a soft tone as she nced at her mother''s back. The little bun seemed surprised at the response she received from her mother.


    Fu Hua couldn''t help chuckling at the cute facial expression on his daughter''s face. He went to her side and lifted her while saying in a low tone, "Good morning, Princess."


    "Daddy..." Jasmine called out and pointed at her sleeping mother. She was asking about her mother and why she was still sleeping.


    "Your Mummy is tired, let''s allow her to sleep for a little mothe but till then, Daddy is going to bath you and change you into your new clothes." Fu Hua said before carrying the little girl away.


    Without her rm ringing, Jia Li slept until 7:15 AM. Actually, it was Jasmine that woke her up. After having her bath and changing into a new set of clothes, the little bun climbed on top of the bed with the help of her father and went straight to her mother to wake her up.


    As Jia Li slowly opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the little head that was right in front of her face.


    "Jasmine?" She called out with a slight frown and when her eyes opened clearly, she was able to see her daughter''s face very well.


    Jasmine smiled brightly and pounced on her mother. The little bun was very happy now that her mother had finally opened her eyes.


    As Jia Li slowly sat up, she let out a sneeze.


    "Did you catch a coldst night?" Fu Hua asked from the side. Jia Li just woke up and was yet to take a good look at her surrounding, so when she heard Fu Hua''s voice, she was a bit surprised seeing him and knowing that he had been standing there all this while.


    Seeing her calm gaze resting on him, Fu Hua walked towards the bed and ced his hand on her forehead to check her body temperature.. Seeing as everything was normal, he said to her, "You look fine but cover uppletely, the weather is cold and you spiced things up a bit by falling asleep in the bathtubst night."

 Chapter 474 - Dont Get Too Hard On Yourself

    <h4>Chapter 474 - Don''t Get Too Hard On Yourself</h4>


    Jia Li looked surprised as she asked, "What! I fell asleep in the bathtubst night?"


    The little bun who didn''t seem to care about what her parents were talking about, climbed into her mother''s arms and thetter was forced to spare her a nce before hugging her.


    "You did after how much I pleaded with you not to do that. But I guess you were so tired that you couldn''t control yourself." Fu Hua replied.


    "This is a serious deal. But wait, what''s the time? Howe my rm didn''t ring today?" Jia Li questioned with a frown.


    "I turned off your rm so you can sleep a little longer this morning. You woke up 5 minutes ago, so the time is 7:20, you might have to go and freshen up now." Fu Hua said after ncing at the clock on the nightstand.


    Fu Hua deliberately let Jia Li sleep for that long and only allowed Jasmine to go wake her up when he felt the time was right.


    Jia Li was helpless. She didn''t know she was that tired and slept off in the bathtub and now, she couldn''t argue with her husband for turning off her rm as she nned to leave for work early.


    Jia Li did not immediately leave to go to the bathroom, instead, she spent about 10 minutes with Jasmine, smooching each other and making small talks before going to have her bath.


    When Jia Li finished freshening up and returned to the bedroom, she discovered that breakfast has already been served.


    She sneezed again as she walked towards the couch to sit. Jasmine was ready to eat, so when her mother appeared, she smiled happily.


    Before leaving for work, Jia Li fed Jasmine while eating and after doing so, she kissed the father and daughter before leaving for work.


    The fourth dress Jia Li had to work on, was a littleplicated so she was still cutting the materials which took over 3 hours because of theplicated style before she started sewing the edges. After sewing the edges, she and her assistants started working on the material to use the required dyes and designs Jia Li chose for it.


    During the lunch break, Jia Li could feel her head pounding softly, so she went out to buy some drugs. She believed she caught a coldst night because she kept on sneezing and feeling a little throbbing in her head.


    Fu Hua was working on establishing new collections next year, so he was currently studying the market and some trends. He was not studying the trends in the market to follow them but to predict the next style that could sell and start working on it.


    He didn''t want FJ to follow trends but rather he wanted FJ to create trends the market and otherpanies will follow and that was the future he had for FJ.


    Even while being upied with work, Fu Hua didn''t forget to check up on his wife during lunch break. Jia Li had just finished taking her drugs when Fu Hua''s call came in.


    "Hey, how are you doing?" Fu Hua asked in a gentle tone.


    "I''m doing great, and you?" Jia Li asked.


    "I''m good, how is work going and I hope you have eaten something?" Fu Hua inquired. He knew Jia Li could skip lunch if she came to forget the time toe back home while working.


    "I just finished eating. Work is going on smoothly. I''m on my fourth dress, I will startying the bases once I go back to my workspace.


    "You have two assistants working for you, don''t work alone and remember to assign tasks to them. If you need any extra help, speak to Sunny about it, she will help you because no team leader will want her team to lose." Fu Hua advised.


    Jia Li moved the phone away from her ear and sneezed twice before moving the phone back to her ear and rubbing her nose with her free hand.


    Fu Hua heard her sneeze and asked in a worried tone, "Do you still have a cold? Have you taken any drugs? Hold on, I will ask Zimo to get you some drugs now, I will..."


    "I just took some drugs now, I will be fine, no need to send Zimo to bring anything. My time is up already, I have to get back to work, talk to youter...bye." Jia Li said and ended the call immediately. She didn''t want Fu Hua to worry about her and besides, she had taken some drugs which she believes will help her to feel better.


    Fu Hua was still restless and didn''t feel assured by his wife''s words. But since she has taken drugs for her cold he sent Zimo to get two cups of hot milk tea and send it to her.


    Although Jia Li should get some sleep to feel better, Fu Hua knew she wouldn''t listen to him and so sent her two cups of milk tea to keep warm, not minding what anyone would think if they saw Zimo delivering the tea to Jia Li.


    When Jia Li returned to her workce, she settled down and continued with her work. She had to start sewing immediately as she had no time to waste.


    Sunny came to check up on her and how far she has done with her current work. While giving her a few pointers, Jia Li sneezed thrice within a minute.


    A frown appeared on Sunny''s face as she asked, "Did you catch a cold?"


    "Yes but I will be fine. I just took cold medicine." Jia Li replied.


    "Don''t get too hard on yourself. I will be right back." Sunny said to her before turning to leave for her office.


    Jia Li didn''t know that Sunny left to order coffee for everyone and got milk tea for her. She thought she had something else to do and didn''t mind her leaving.


    But some minutester, there were 3 cups of hot milk tea in front of her. Zimo sent someone to deliver 2 cups to her, while Miss Sunny personally brought one over by herself.


    The person that delivered the coffee to Jia Li told her that Zimo asked him to bring it to her but she knew it was Fu Hua that sent it. As for Miss Sunny, she was surprised to see 2 cups of milk tea on Jia Li''s table.


    "I didn''t know there were other people that cared about you this much and now, I''m tempted to take back my milk tea," Sunny said with a calm gaze.

 Chapter 475 - Sunny Worries About Jia Li

    <h4>Chapter 475 - Sunny Worries About Jia Li</h4>


    Hearing her say that she felt like taking the milk tea she brought for her back, Jia Li blocked her sight from staring at the three cups of milk tea on her work desk.


    "Miss Sunny, you can''t take back what you have already given out." Jia Li said to her.


    "Can you finish the three cups of tea before they turn cold?" Sunny asked. She found Jia Li''s action funny, so she changed her mind.


    "I can. I need something hot to dissipate the coldness in my body. Thank you Miss Sunny for your kindness." Jia Li said gratefully. She knew that she was the reason Sunny got the coffee for everyone in their department and she could see that she cared for her.


    "Mmm...just slow down with your work, you need to be strong to continue." Sunny said to her before leaving. She could see how hard she was working in the course of thepetition and she must say that she was impressed.


    Jia Li was alone after Sunny left because her two assistants went out to get the coffee that was ordered for them. Now having a little privacy, Jia Li called Fu Hua to thank him for the tea.


    "Keep warm, I will call youter to check up on you." Fu Hua said.


    As he promised, Fu Hua did call to check up on Jia Li before leaving for home. He would have loved to stay with her but he also didn''t want their little daughter to be left in the absence of her parents. At least one of them has to be present, so Fu Hua asked Jia Li not to stay long at work before driving off.


    There were a few newbies who remained in the office after the close of the day. Today, Mari¨¦ and Linda decided to work overtime.


    Linda was working on her 3rd dress currently and she seemed to be the fastest because she already had 2pleted dresses. Mari¨¦ was about toplete her 2nd dress. She encountered an issue with the neckline because she asked one of her assistants to do the cutting for her but it came out wrong.


    Mari¨¦ was so pissed off that she scolded the youngdy terribly till the point that she cried and this is the reason Mari¨¦ had to work overtime. She needed to fix the hand of the dress.


    After studying the neckline, an idea came to her, which made her remove one of the hands of the dress. And now, she had to sew that part up which took her some time because she had to use some stones on that part.


    Now satisfied with her work, Mari¨¦ smiled satisfactorily before leaving with her bag after making sure that she cleaned her workspace up.


    This was a majorpetition that would decide their fate internationally, so they were all very serious about it and in order to prevent their designs from being sabotaged, they had to be careful.


    Sunny who was still rounding up an assignment Fu Hua gave to her before he left, had no idea that he did that on purpose because he wanted her to apany his wife for a little longer.


    When Sunny finished her assignment, she picked up her bag and walked out of her office when she remembered to check on Jia Li.


    "Is it possible that she is still here?" Sunny asked herself as she walked towards Jia Li''s workspace to look for her. On getting to her door, she heard the sounds from a sewing machine and got rified that Jia Li was still working, so she knocked and opened the door.


    Jia Li looked surprised to see Sunny in her workspace. She thought thetter had left already but it turned out that she was still around.


    Sunny walked in and closed the door behind her. Then as she made her way to the ce Jia Li was sitting, her eyes glued to her face.


    "Why is your face red and where are your assistants?" Sunny asked with a frown.


    Jia Li had no idea that her face was red and she looked surprised when Sunny told her about it, so she touched her face while replying to her question. "It''s past work hours, so I sent them home."


    By the time Jia Li finished replying to her question, she was already in front of her. Sunny raised her hand to feel Jia Li''s forehead only to discover how hot it was.


    Sunny withdrew her hand and said to her, "You are running a temperature, I think you have a fever."


    "I don''t think I''m running a fever." Jia Li said as she touched her neck which felt warm.


    "And why do you think so, your body is hot." Sunny asked as her frown deepened further.


    "Isn''t it because the heater is on?" Jia Li asked as she looked around her workce. There was a little confusion on her face as she asked that question.


    "I don''t think your brain is functioning properly. You can''t even tell that you have a fever after feeling the hotness of your body. Do you have a slight headache?" Sunny asked worriedly.


    "Yeah but I believe it''s because it''s time to take my medication." Jia Li replied.


    Sunny did not know if she should scold Jia Li or not. If it was before she knew her hidden identity, she wouldn''t have thought twice before scolding her but the youngdy standing in front of her, was her Boss''s wife, plus she looked so innocent right now, so how could she bear to scold her?


    "Doesn''t your husband care about you?" Sunny asked. Her question shocked Jia Li who didn''t see iting.


    "Sorry?" Jia Li said with a shocked gaze.


    "I''m asking if your husband doesn''t care about you. You are sick and you are not home by this time, shouldn''t he be worried about you?" Sunny asked.


    Jia Li left her no choice to think that way because she was acting like a woman who was not loved by her husband.


    Sunny believed that no husband who loved his wife will allow her to work this hard when she is sick.. And now that she knew who Jia Li''s husband was and seeing that he didn''t do anything about her working thiste when she was ill, she began to think that Fu Hua didn''t care for her as the way the media made it look like.

 Chapter 476 - Bleeding

    <h4>Chapter 476 - Bleeding</h4>


    Jia Li felt the strong need to exin things as it looks like Sunny was thinking wrongly. "Miss Sunny, I think there is a misunderstanding. My husband loves and cares for me."


    "If he loves and cares for you, why would he allow his sick wife to work overtime?" Sunny asked.


    Jia Li took a deep breath before replying, "He doesn''t know I''m sick."


    Sunny was silent for a while after listening to her exnation. She didn''t have any doubt now because she guessed that Fu Hua would not allow her to work overtime if he knew she was sick.


    "I see, that exins a lot why you are neglecting your health. If you don''t stop working this minute, I will call your husband toe and take you home." Sunny threatened.


    She threatened to call her husband not because it was Fu Hua but to use it against her since she said her husband didn''t know she was ill.


    Jia Li thought that Sunny didn''t know Fu Hua was her husband and was just talking, so she said to her, "Miss Sunny, I still have a little work to do. I still need to sew this part and then iron the material before leaving. I need 20 more minutes."


    Sunny didn''t bother to nce at the dress she was showing to her and instead said while taking out her phone from her bag...


    "It looks like you are not scared of your husband, so I will have to call Mr. Fu and report to him that there is someone who wants to ruin thepetition ns."


    Hearing that word Mr. Fu was enough for Jia Li to be subdued. She quickly got to her feet and picked up her things while pleading with Sunny not to make the call.


    "Now that''s more like it!" Sunny said with folded arms.


    If Fu Hua learns that she is not feeling well, he will stop her from working overtime and that wouldn''t be good for her.


    On their way to the underground parking lot, Sunny said to her, "I love your dedication but your health is important. You should take care of yourself while working hard because it will be a pity for something to happen to a talented person like you."


    When Jia Li got to her ride, she bowed slightly and thanked Sunny for looking out for her.


    "I will do that for anyone that is under me. Go ahead and don''te to work before time tomorrow or I will surely report you." Sunny threatened again.


    Jia Li smiled before unlocking her car and climbing into it. Sunny stood there and watched Jia Li drive away before sighing with her hands in her pocket.


    Seeing Jia Li''s ride made Sunny think that Jia Li was truly Fu Hua''s wife. She could tell how expensive her ride was and knew that she could only have something like that if she came from a rich family or was married into one or was a millionaire herself.


    Several dayster, something happened to Jia Li which got Fu Hua angry and made the Fu family worried.


    It was already past work hours when Sunny decided to visit her students one after the other to check on their progress and also to give them some pointers. It was a week and 3 days to the show, so everyone was working overtime to finish up their work.


    Because of the location of Jia Li''s office, she was thest person Sunny visited. The workce the newbies were using, had transparent sses as walls, so anyone walking along the hallway could see what was going on inside unless a curtain was used to cover the view.


    But it looked like Jia Li forgot to cover hers because Sunny could see how she was so focused while doing an embroidering on one of her clothes.


    A slight smile appeared on her face as she thought to herself, ''She is really working so hard, despite having a big thigh to hug.''


    As Sunny was thinking of that, the respect she had for Jia Li increased and so she brought out her phone to record her.


    Sunny still had a smile on her face while recording Jia Li when she noticed something wrong with her. She thought she saw something wrong with her nose and so zoomed the camera only to see blood slowlying out from her nose but it seemed like Jia Li was yet to notice it.


    Sunny''s eyes widened in shock as she quickly ended the video and rushed into Jia Li''s office.


    Jia Li was surprised to see Sunny rush into her workspace and as she got to her feet and was about to ask if she needed help with anything, she felt something drip from her nose and drop on her palms which she out on the desk while trying to stand.


    Curious as to what it was, Jia Li looked down to see drops of blood at the back of her hand and it was at that moment that Sunny arrived at her side and passed her some tissue.


    "Jia Li, your nose is bleeding, sit down and use this to clean it." Sunny said in an urgent tone as she helped her to sit down.


    It was as if the more Jia Li cleaned her nose, the more blood flowed out. Sunny was worried about her losing much blood, so she asked her to raise her head and block her nose with the tissue.


    "How many hours do you get to sleep each night?" Sunny asked as she picked up some wipes to clean the blood on Jia Li''s desk.


    "6-7 hours." Jia Li replied with her head back. She had no idea why her nose was bleeding.


    "It looks like the stress you are going through can not be curtailed by the 7 hours of sleep you get at night. You need to stop working overtime. After today, I don''t want to see you at work past 5 p.m." Sunny ordered.


    "But I''m not done with my work. This is thest dress I''m working on and the embroidering will take me 4 hours a day for 4 days to finish. I need four more days before I can rest.." Jia Li replied.

 Chapter 477 - Your Stubborn Wife

    <h4>Chapter 477 - Your Stubborn Wife</h4>


    Sunny was so annoyed with Jia Li that she red up at her.


    "Do you see your state? And you still dare to talk about finishing your work? Do you not like your life?" Sunny asked angrily.


    Jia Li looked shocked to see how angry Sunny was with her. It was as if her mother was scolding her for doing something wrong.


    "I can see that you don''t listen to me but I will see to it that you listen to me." Sunny said as she picked up her phone from the desk and angrily left Jia Li''s office to her surprise.


    "Miss Sunny where are you going to?" Jia Li asked in surprise as she tried to chase after her but the tissue she was using to block her nose, fell and more blood started dropping on her hands, shirt and on the floor.


    "Shit!" Jia Li cursed and immediately picked up more tissues and went to sit down before raising her head and using the tissue to cover her nose.


    Sunny angrily walked into the elevator and pressed the floor to Fu Hua''s office. As she passed the hallway, people cleared out the way for her, as they were clear of her temper any time she was angry which rarely happened.


    Anyone that saw Sunny''s angry face, wondered who was bold to piss her off.


    When Sunny appeared in front of Fu Hua''s office, Zimo was alreadying out from there with a tablet in his hands but before he could see who wasing in front of him since his attention was on his tablet, he got pushed out of the way.


    Immediately after Sunny walked into Fu Hua''s office, she started by asking him questions before ying the recent video she just recorded and passing her phone to him.


    "Mr. Fu, can you please tell your stubborn wife to stop torturing herself? Look at her state now, she has a bleeding nose and she is still talking about needing 4 hours every day toplete the embroidering she is working on after I told her to take a break." Sunny said angrily. She was so angry that she didn''t care that Fu Hua will now be aware that she knew about his secret.


    Zimo who just rushed inside the office was shocked to hear Sunny words.


    ''Huh... does she know who Boss''s wife is?''


    Fu Hua heard every word Sunny said and it was a surprise to him as he wondered how she found out that Jia Li was his wife. But that was not his interest right now. He was worried about the little one in the video he was watching.


    When Fu Hua saw the blooding out of Jia Li''s nose, his gaze darkened. He couldn''t watch anymore as he returned the phone to Sunny before standing up and leaving his office.


    Zimo saw his Boss leaving his office in a hurry and immediately followed after him. Sunny still looked annoyed as she followed them. Now, she was no longer thinking that Jia Li was truly Fu Hua''s wife but that how he was going to send her home.


    Jia Li had just taken off the fresh tissue she put on her nose when the door to her office was pushed open with a force. And immediately she looked over to see if Sunny was the one, her gaze met with Fu Hua''s fierce gaze and she immediately stood up with a frightened gaze.


    "Mr. Fu." Jia Li said in a small tone as she could see Zimo and Sunny behind him and it looked like a scene was about to happen.


    Jia Li was so scared when she saw how angry Fu Hua was as he saw the blood on the floor and her clothes, then ncing over at her desk to see the pile of tissue stained with blood.


    While he was looking from one point to another, Jia Li followed his gaze and knew he was going to scold her next, so she quickly said...


    "Mr. Fu, I''m fine, my nose has stopped bleeding, I will clean up the mess soon and get back to work."


    Fu Hua looked angrier as he stared hard at her. If res could kill, Jia Li would have been rushed to the hospital for an emergency air pipe surgery.


    "Mr. Fu? Who is Mr? Fu?" Fu Hua asked with a death re. He really wanted to use his hands to strangle that little woman that was staring at him innocently.


    Sunny knew about their rtionship and she was still calling him Mr. Fu. Blood just stopped flowing from her nose and she said she wanted to clean up and go back to work?


    Jia Li was taken aback by Fu Hua''s question. They were at work and Sunny was there, what was she supposed to address him as, if it was not Mr. Fu?


    Fu Hua slowly walked towards her and said with an ugly expression on his face, "Only if you know how much I really want to squeeze the remaining life out of you. Do you want to die that much?"


    When Fu Hua talked about squeezing the life out of Jia Li, Zimo held his neck, as he thought of how it would feel to get strangled by the boss but when he met Sunny''s annoyed gaze, he slowly loosened up the hold on his neck.


    As Fu Hua took a closer step towards her, Jia Li stepped back with a frightened gaze.


    "Where do you think you are going to? You are definitely trying to work yourself to death after all my pleadings not to take things too far. Have you forgotten that you have a child at home? Do you also want me to get scolded to death by grandfather if anything happens to you? Have you ever thought about my feelings?" Fu Hua asked.


    Jia Li was really scared right now that Fu Hua just revealed their rtionship in front of Sunny and she could hear hurried footsteps approaching, so she quickly said to him, "I will quickly take my things and go home immediately, I''m so sorry."


    Fu Hua, Sunny and Zimo watched on as Jia Li picked her things and put them in her bag as fast as she could.


    "Zimo, drive her back home." Fu Hua instructed.


    "Miss, pleasee with me." Zimo said as he gestured to Jia Li respectfully.. Jia Li nced at Fu Hua before leaving.

 Chapter 478 - Pulling Her Into His Embrace On Stage

    <h4>Chapter 478 - Pulling Her Into His Embrace On Stage</h4>


    After Zimo took Jia Li away, Fu Hua addressed everyone else that was working over time. He told them that anyone who would act stubborn like Jia Li and neglect their health because of work, he or she will be suspended and their yearly bonus will be canceled.


    After Fu Hua finished addressing them, Sunny followed him out. Fu Hua made a quick call back home to arrange for a doctor toe over as Jia Li was on her way home.


    Fu Hua didn''t give any details because he didn''t want anyone to be worried to a point of unrest. When Fu Hua finished with his call, he turned to Sunny to ask, "How did you know that Jia Li is my wife?"


    Sunny still looked annoyed because of Jia Li but she still went on to exin how she found out about their rtionship.


    "Thank you for looking after her all this while." Fu Hua said before turning to leave.


    ''They are truly husband and wife!'' Sunny thought before walking back to Jia Li''s workspace to take care of the mess. She called someone to clean up her office before locking it up.


    After getting scolded by the Big Boss, nobody dared to continue working overtime, they all packed their things and left.


    Someone like Mari¨¦ could not stop talking about how Jia Li was scolded and sent home. Since they all came to know that Jia Li had a bleeding nose and was scolded for not taking care of her health, it became a hot topic amongst those present.


    When Zimo took Jia Li back home, the doctor was already waiting inside the house. Immediately after she stepped foot inside, Fu Hee pulled her arm and keptining and asking her why she neglected her health because of work.


    For the first time, Grandfather told her she was wrong. As everyone one of them expressed their worries, Jia Li did not say a word. When the doctor finished checking up on her, he said to the worried-looking family that surrounded Jia Li...


    "Her nose bleed is caused by too much sneezing, cold air and stress. She will be fine if she has a bed rest for a few days."


    When YingPei was sending the doctor off, they met Fu Hua at the door and so the doctor had to repeat everything he just said inside.


    Fu Hua thanked the doctor and walked straight to his bedroom to see Jia Li lying on the bed with her eyes closed. He knew she was pretending to be asleep but he yed along.


    The next day, Jia Li was not allowed to step foot outside the house and she didn''t dare to talk about the unfinished work she had left because her father-inw who she thought was more mean than Fu Hua, made her spend half of her day in the study.


    At least today, Jasmine got to spend time with her mother.


    Because Jia Li still had unfinished work, Fu Hua let her go to work the next day but she was being monitored by her assistants not to work for more than 5 hours a day.


    Two days before the show, Jia Lipleted her works and arranged for her models toe and try on the dresses for the final fitting in her workspace.


    She let her five models have the style of the dress that would fit them more. After trying on the dresses, Jia Li fixed up the little error in the outfit DanDan was putting on before calling it a day.


    Jia Li was thest person to finish her work amongst her colleagues, but she was not worried about it, as all that was on her mind, was on the ''D Day''.


    There was no time to waste, as most of the newbies were busy shopping for the clothes they would wear on the day.


    Jia Li on the other hand stayed at home with her daughter and read stories to her, while Fu Hua was the one that got her outfit ready for the show.


    Finally, the D day came. The show was by 10 AM but Jia Li left as early as 6 AM to make sure everything was fine with her dresses and to make some arrangements.


    As all the newbies gathered they all spoke about how tensed they were when they discovered how big of a show this would be.


    "Why didn''t they tell us about this?" One of them cried out in frustration.


    "I thought this was going to be a small show but who knew it would almost be as big as the Autumn Fashion Show." Linda said in a tired tone.


    "I could already guess that this wasn''t going to be a simple show, with all the media attention it was given but I didn''t expect it to be this big." Mari¨¦ said.


    Jia Li was a bit nervous but she didn''t say anything. She really wanted to win thepetition, so she put in her very best while making her dresses. Not knowing how well she did because she hasn''t seen any of her colleague''s outfits, she could only hope that she would do well.


    Soon, the show started and it was time to present the designers and their works, so Chyou came to the backstage to give them their number tags.


    When Jia Li saw the number she got, she almost fainted. It turned out that she was going to presentst. She was wondering how unlucky she was without knowing that Fu Hua ordered Sunny to put herst.


    Linda would be the one to open the show, so she wished Jia Li luck before leaving.


    After checking on her models to see that their hair and makeup were done, she went on to help them into the dress with the help of her two assistants.


    "Sister-inw, I love these dresses, they are beautiful! And I''m sure grandfather will be proud of you when he sees them."


    "Grandfather?" Jia Li said in surprise as she didn''t know the old man woulde for the show.


    "Not just grandfather, but..." FangSu started saying but shut her mouth. She almost revealed that Fu Hua invited everyone toe and cheer her up.


    When Jia Li was ready to present, she could feel butterflies in her stomach. DanDan encouraged her with a smile.


    Jia Li took a deep breath and quickly arranged the models ording to the clothes that will go first as she heard the name of her collection being called.


    After her models walked on the runway, Jia Li walked out to greet everyone before going back. She was still nervous and so didn''t dare to look at the crowd, her eyes were only on the judges.


    Ten minutester, the results were announced and only the Top 3 were asked toe and receive their award.


    Jia Li was shocked to hear her name being called out to receive the gold award ???? but there was someone more shocked than her, Mari¨¦ who was so confident that she woulde first until she saw Jia Li''s designs.


    Jia Li was emotional as she climbed up the stage to receive her gold award. She was already in tears when the microphone was passed to her to say a few words but no words coulde out from her lips.


    The Fu family who were sitting in the front row became emotional on seeing Jia Li cry on the stage. The MC didn''t know how tofort Jia Li and let her cry.


    Fu Hua who was at backstage took long strides towards the stage and Zimo quickly followed after him.


    When everyone saw Fu Hua climb up the stage and walk towards Jia Li, they didn''t know what he was up to but they hoped that he wouldn''t scold Jia Li on the stage because he was known for being cold-hearted.


    But to their surprise, he took the microphone from Jia Li and passed it to Zimo before pulling her into his embrace to the shock of everyone present.

 Chapter 479 - A Price What Paying For...

    <h4>Chapter 479 - A Price What Paying For...</h4>


    Rewind to 15 minutes ago...


    When Jia Li''s models were ready to fall in line, Mari¨¦ caught a glimpse of the dresses and her eyes widened in shock as she couldn''t believe that Jia Li coulde up with this kind of concept.


    She had no idea that Jia Li has been working so hard just to deliver those impactful designs which would be on par with hers. Somehow, she didn''t want to admit that her designs surpassed hers, she still had hope that she woulde first just like before.


    "Did JL use real stones or fake stones on her dresses?" One of them asked with her gaze on the television.


    The designers who have already disyed their works, were currently at the backstage, watching the television which disyed what was going on on the runway.


    "It''s not possible to use fake materials on the clothes, she will get punished, so I think she used the real deal here."


    "Using a fake material on the goods marketed by FJ will surely drag the prestige of thepany to the mud, so she wouldn''t try that."


    "But if she used real stones on her dresses, how did she do that? Our budgets are the same and even if we wanted to use precious stones, it will be limited." Another person said.


    "I think we should mind our words and wait for her toe back and then we can ask the questions we want instead of standing here and maligning her name." Linda said.


    She was more curious as to how Jia Li came up with her new concept for thepetition than at how she got a higher budget than them.


    "But I must say that her clothes are beautiful." Another said.


    "I must ask her for her secret because she has blown my mind away." Another person said with a sweet smile.


    Listening to all of thempliment Jia Li''s design, Mari¨¦ squeezed her palms in jealousy. Before any of them saw Jia Li''s clothes, theyplimented her but when JL''s clothes came to their view, they forgot about hers to focus on Jia Li''s.


    During the preparation for thispetition, Mari¨¦ has been overconfident about her designs and so didn''t put in the amount of effort Jia Li did.


    A great percentage of Mari¨¦''s attention, was on her model friends, as she wanted to invite the best people to wear her clothes for this very day. She forgot that Jia Li has always been goal-oriented and wouldn''t mind putting in all her time and sweat to get things done perfectly.


    Mari¨¦ was still unaware that today was the beginning of her losing her crown as the Top newbie FJ has, from her set.


    After her designs were disyed, Jia Li came out to show her face as the designer of the J-mine collection before going backstage. Somehow, she was d to be thest, since she had enough time to calm her heartbeats which was almost at the level to cause her a heart attack.


    Because of her nervousness, Jia Li did not nce around to see the guests, so she did not see the Fu family and her little bun that looked shocked to see her mother on stage.


    Jasmine nced at her great-grandfather who was holding her in her arms, before ncing at her mother again after he pointed her out to her.


    Jasmine looked surprised as she pointed at the familiar figure on the stage before looking back at her great-grandfather for confirmation.


    If Jia Li''s dresses were not eye-catching, I bet you that a great number of people wouldn''t pay attention to it, as their attention would have been divided.


    The little princess of the Fu family attracted a lot of attention. The other guests were already overwhelmed by the Fu family''s presence but when their eyes caught sight of the little bun who was in the arms of old general Fu, they were dazed.


    So since the Fu family made their grand entrance, all eyes had been on the little bun. And it looked like the little girl understood that she was in public and was being very obedient.


    If Jasmine wasn''t taught properly, she would have started crying the moment she saw her mother on stage but she didn''t cry, she was more surprised than any other emotion she felt.


    Immediately, Jia Li went backstage, Linda hugged her and praised her for her wonderful works.


    "Your bleeding nose was a price worth paying for your spectacr works today." Linda said with a friendly smile.


    Jia Li whose emotions were now back to normal smiled and thanked Linda for herpliments before the rest of their colleagues surrounded her.


    Mari¨¦ couldn''t stand the praises Jia Li was receiving and shifted to a faraway corner to sit and press her phone.


    "JL, how did you get so many stones for your dresses with the limited budget we had?" One of them asked with a curious gaze.


    "You should have waited till the end of the show to ask this question." Another person said with a frown as he thought it wasn''t polite to jump straight to that question.


    Now that the show was almosting to an end, Jia Li had no problem revealing her secret, so she said to them, "The budget was indeed tight but the designs I created required those stones, so I spoke to Miss Sunny to see if I could take out money from my purse and she said I could, so I used my money to make the purchase."


    When Jia Li submitted her designs for Sunny''s approval, Sunny had told her that her designs would cost a lot for production and she would exceed the budget limit given to her.


    "You can''t produce this, as it exceeds the budget limit given to you." Sunny had said after ncing at her illustrations.


    "I know about it, so I prepared a proposal. Can I take out money from my purse to do this?" Jia Li asked.


    Sunny stared at her with a surprised gaze and asked, "You want to use your money for this?"


    "Yes. I do not want to improvise on my designs and alter the initial designs if possible, so if I am allowed to use my money, then I will.." Jia Li replied.

 Chapter 480 - Mariés Reluctance

    <h4>Chapter 480 - Mari¨¦''s Reluctance</h4>


    Sunny was silent for some seconds before saying to Jia Li, "In the rules and regtions for thispetition, nothing was said about using your money to get materials, so you can use your money if you want."


    "Thank you, Miss Sunny." Jia Li replied happily. She was excited that she could use her money to get the stones she wanted, otherwise, it would have been a shame if her beautiful designs were altered.


    Jia Li''s colleagues were surprised to learn that she used her money to get the stones.


    "You really went all out for this." Linda said with a proud smile.


    "I would never have thought we could use our money for thispetition." One of them said with a surprised gaze.


    "It was never mentioned we couldn''t use our money if we exceeded our budget for thispetition." Someone replied.


    "Even if I knew about this beforehand, I would never be able to afford it because I just spent my savings purchasing 2 of thetest FJ handbag for thest spring collection." Another said with a sad gaze.


    "Well, Jia Li congrattions and I must say that if you win thispetition, you have to take us out for dinner." Linda said and the rest echoed their support and before Jia Li could reply to them, one of them alerted them to pay attention as the Mc has already imed the stage to announce the results.


    Ten minutes after the results werepiled, the mc took the mic and climbed the stage to announce the results.


    "...we had a total of 10 contestants and 50 outfits disyed here today but we have one winner who will go home with the neer''s award from FJ and two contestants that will receive the International recognition for the young fashion designers of the year." The mc announced with a smile as suspense music yed.


    "The second runner-up for thispetition is, ***** collection by Miss Mari¨¦!!!"


    Rounds of apuse resonated in the building when Mari¨¦''s name was called out.


    Mari¨¦ who was backstage, went into shock as she couldn''t believe her ears. She didn''t win thispetition and she wasn''t the first runner up either, she was almost going crazy where she was sitting.


    Her colleagues nced at her and couldn''t believe that she was still sitting there after her name was called.


    Sunny who just joined the newbies backstage, nced at Mari¨¦ with a frown after her name was called out for the second time.


    "Are you not going to receive your award?" Miss Sunny asked.


    Mari¨¦ woke up from her dreams to face the realities after she heard Sunny''s voice. Left for her, she didn''t want to receive that award that was a shame to her.


    Since when did she note first? And now, not only did she note first but she also didn''t get the second position.


    Her colleagues were really shocked by the character she just disyed now.


    "I think she is shocked not to get the first ce." One of them whispered to her neighbor.


    When Mari¨¦''s name was called for the third time, she appeared on stage to receive her bronze medal with a fake smile which looked more realistic than a real smile.


    When Mari¨¦ returned backstage, she removed the bronze medal from her neck and ignored all her colleagues and walked away to sit in a corner to the surprise of everyone.


    For the 1st runner-up, Linda heard her name and went on to receive her silver medal. Then for the Winner, which almost everyone could guess, Jia Li''s name was called.


    Jia Li was almost out of breath at the suspense before her name was called out and finally, she heard her name, she almost fell to her knees but luckily, her colleagues were there to support her. They all hugged and congratted her.


    "Linda''s words are true. JL''s nosebleeds were really worth this reward." The person standing next to Linda said.


    "If there is another opportunity like this, I promise to work hard till I have a nosebleed like JL." Another person said with her eyes closed.


    "I guess you have forgotten the punishment attached to not caring about your health as a designer in FJ." Someone reminded.


    "The Big Boss will surely kick her out of thepany." Linda said and everyoneughed out loud including Jia Li.


    Sunny frowned when she saw that Jia Li was still standing there when her name was called but before she could walk to her side to remind her of it, her colleagues had already pushed her towards the stage.


    Jia Li was emotional as she climbed the stage to go receive her award while the audience pped and cheered for her and some gave her a standing ovation.


    Jia Li was emotional because of what she went just through to share her creativity with the world and that is the reason when after she received her gold medal and the award????, she was lost for words. When the microphone was handed out to her to give a 5 minutes speech, she couldn''t say any words or do anything apart from shedding tears.


    The Fu family who were sitting in the front row became emotional on seeing Jia Li cry on the stage, even the little bun had her eyes glued to her mother while pointing at her in worry, as she didn''t seem to understand the situation.


    The mc who was at a close range with Jia Li didn''t know how tofort her.


    Fu Hua was in an enclosed office space watching what was going on on the stage and when he saw his wife crying, he said to himself that it was time and so he got to his feet and walked towards the backstage with Zimo.


    Sunny and the others who were touched by Jia Li''s emotions, looked tense when they saw Fu Hua aiming for the stage with a frown on his face.


    The rest apart from Sunny and Zimo thought that Fu Hua was going to scold Jia Li on stage, prayed silently for her.


    Fu Hua took long strides to the stage and to the shock of everyone including the Fu family as they didn''t know his ns.


    When he got to Jia Li''s side, he took the mic from her and passed it to Zimo which forced her to look up at him.


    Jia Li who was all being emotional, looked shocked to see Fu Hua on stage as she like the rest of the people was wondering what he was doing up there.


    And before she could arrange her thoughts, Fu Hua smiled gently at her and brought her into his embrace for a hug, to the shock of everyone present and the people watching the Live Show from their various locations.

 Chapter 481 - Reactions From The Audience And The Viewers

    <h4>Chapter 481 - Reactions From The Audience And The Viewers</h4>


    "What the hell!!!"


    "What''s going on here?"


    "Do I have vision impairment?"


    "Did Mr. Fu just hug JL?"


    "Right, I''m not the only one seeing this..." Linda said with a shocked gaze.


    "Is this a way of encouragement or what?"


    "But that''s weird! How can the Big Bossfort JL this way, this could lead to a misunderstanding!"


    Sunny who was watching the big screen closed her eyes. She knew Fu Hua was not going on stage to scold Jia Li since she was his wife but hugging her on stage? That was the least she expected.


    "Now I know why Hua invited us all today." Fu Hee said with a smiling gaze.


    "He sure knows how to surprise us all." Fu Lei said with a frown.


    "Oh my! This is so loving." Fu ChunHua said with an excited gaze.


    "I am truly shocked by his actions, I almost had a heart attack." Fu Geming said with his palm on his chest.


    He almost stopped breathing when Fu Hua hugged Jia Li.


    Grandfather Fu looked unfazed by the situation butplimented Fu Hua in his mind. ''That''s my grandson!''


    Jasmine, on the other hand, couldn''t keep put anymore. Both of her parents were on stage hugging each other and the big screen was still disying them.


    "Giegiampa... My mum and Dada..." Jasmine said to the old man with a surprised gaze. She first called out to the old man. She was trying to say, ''Great-grandpa'' as she was thought but her pronunciation was funny.


    Grandfather Fu smiled at the little bun who had a surprised gaze on him and confirmed that it was her parents on stage.


    Jia Li was so shocked by Fu Hua''s actions that she forgot to cry. Realizing that so many people were watching them in shock, she asked in a low tone, "What are you doing?"


    Fu Hua raised one of his hands to pat the back of her head as he replied in a low tone, "I couldn''t bear to watch you cry, so I came out here tofort you."


    Jia Li couldn''t believe her ears and said with gritted teeth, "Can you let me go this moment!"


    While Jia Li and Fu Hua were stillmunicating secretly on the stage, this jaw-dropping scene of them hugging on stage didn''t seem to be a small scene.


    Fu Meixu who was on a flight back to China was watching the live show and couldn''t help screaming in shock. The people in the same flight as her seemed to be watching the show on the television because there were gasps of shocks and murmuring from them.


    The rest of the people watching this scene began to have so many different thoughts going through their minds.


    Feng Alix was watching the show with her tablet and there was a thorn in her heart. The feelings she had managed to hide in her heart, started to emerge slowly.


    She was filled with jealousy and bitterness at the sweetness Fu Hua disyed for another woman in front of everybody.


    Since Jia Li was embarrassed and asked him to let her go, Fu Hua obeyed her. Immediately Fu Hua let her go, Jia Li bowed to him as a way of saying thank you.


    Now, this scene has confused everyone again. Those that were thinking that Jia Li might be Fu Hua''s hidden Wife, became confused after Jia Li bowed to Fu Hua with a respectful gaze that showed her respect and gratefulness to her Boss.


    "Can someone tell me what is going on here?"


    "I almost thought JL is Mr. Fu''s wife or is she not?"


    "I feel like I''m watching a soap opera right now."


    "Someone had better exin this confusing situation to me."


    The Fu family was left confused by Jia Li''s actions, as the thought that she didn''t want to acknowledge the rtionship between her and Fu Hua.


    "I think she acted that way because she is still unaware that Hua is indirectly announcing that she is his wife." Fu ChunHua said with a smile.


    Even Fu Hua was surprised by Jia Li''s actions but he just smiled to himself and asked Zimo to pass the microphone back to her.


    After Jia Li received the microphone from Zimo, she heaved a deep sigh, before turning to face the shocked judges.


    Jia first started with this statement...


    "I''m sorry, I was really emotional earlier and I''m ashamed that I troubled my Boss tofort me. My name is Qin Jia Li and I must say that..."


    When Jia Li mentions that her name was, ''Qin Jia Li'' a wealthy family somewhere with the surname ''Huang'', was watching the show and one of the members of the family, looked a little surprised to hear the surname, ''Qin'' from her lips.


    That surname, ''Qin'' sounded familiar to her like she has heard it somewhere before but couldn''t ce her hand on when, where and who she might have heard it from.


    "Father, don''t you think the surname, ''Qin'' sounds familiar?" The middle-ageddy asked the old man sitting beside her.


    "What is so special about the ''Qin'' surname, many families are answering it. Just keep quiet and let me see what the Fu family are up to." Old Mr. Huang said with a frown before moving his gaze back to the TV with full concentration.


    While so many people were paying attention to Jia Li, she continued with her speech, "... I''m grateful to myte parents, Mr. and Mrs. Qin for their love and support to study Fashion and design. I''m thankful to my new family because they have been a great help to me since my parents died. To my husband who has been very strict with his guidance, I want to say a big thank you to you because the hard work I put in to create today''s designs, it''s all because of your scolding."


    When Jia Li said thest part, she smiled as her eyes became teary. She could still remember Fu Hua scolding her at the dinner table that night and all the pointers he has ever given to her.


    "Okay, now I''m curious about JL''s husband." One of the newbie designers said with a fixed gaze on the screen.


    "I think JL''s husband is a big shot too..." One of the newbies said with a curious gaze.


    Jia Li''s statement about her husband garnered a lot of attention from the viewers and the audience.. They were curious and really wanted to know who her husband was but to their disappointment, she didn''t mention his name and went on to continue giving thanks to others.

 Chapter 482 - Love On Stage

    <h4>Chapter 482 - Love On Stage</h4>


    "I am dedicating my collection, to my little daughter whom I neglected during the period I was working on it. Jasmine, mum is sorry."


    Here, Jia Li just gave a hint of who her daughter and her husband were and her rtionship to the Fu family but since no outsider knew that ''Jasmine'' was the nickname of the little princess of the Fu family, they remained in the dark.


    "Is she finally going to acknowledge us?" Fu Geming asked as he stared at the stage curiously.


    The Fu family had their thoughts and so as the audience who were fans of Jia Li.


    "Wow! JL is married and she has a daughter as well?"


    "OMG! I am so shocked right now. When did she give birth?"


    "I think it wasst year when she was not that active." Some replied to the other person.


    "But I really respect JL for keeping her private life away from the social media."


    "Right? I feel she is strong-willed otherwise, how can anyone resist not posting about their husband or daughter."


    "I also want to thank my Supervisor Miss Sunny for her great mentorship and the scoldings I received from her. She might look fierce but she is actually one of the greatest woman I have ever worked under. Miss Sunny, I am grateful." Jia Li said with her eyes on backstage before turning to face the judges.


    "Thank you to my family and my colleagues for being kind to me and a big thanks to FJ for deeming me worthy of this award, thank you." Jia Li said with a big bow and received apuse from the audience who cheered on for her.


    Fu Hua who has been standing behind, stepped forward now to take the microphone from Jia Li, who bowed and wanted to walk away.


    "Jia Li, don''t go, I have a few things to say." Fu Hua said to Jia Li who had already turned her back to leave.


    Sunny who was backstage, smiled and went to sit, amidst the whispering of the newbies and other FJ workers who didn''t know what their Boss was up to.


    Jia Li didn''t know what Fu Hua was up to but her heartbeats were already elerating and she could tell how scared she was.


    Zimo smiled at Jia Li and gestured ???? to face the judges, who had no choice but to obey.


    "Finally, he is going to acknowledge her." Grandfather Fu said after heaving a sigh of relief.


    Fu Hua who always had a cold expression on his face smiled at the audience before raising the mic to his lips to address them...


    "If she didn''t win the award today, I would have broken her legs because she worked so hard for her designs after I scolded her. She woulde home from workte and would go straight to sleep without spending a little time with her daughter. And she didn''t just neglect her daughter, she neglected her husband as well."


    At this point, Jia Li felt like disappearing because she could guess where Fu Hua was going.


    ''Can you not tell me about stuff like this before doing this?'' She thought to herself.


    "What the fuck is going on here?" Someone from the audience muttered under his breath as he watched on.


    "What the hell is happening?" Ady said as she cleaned her ears and her eyes with a confused gaze.


    "Oh no! Don''t tell me that my guess is right!" A youngdy from the audience said with a shocked gaze on the stage.


    Linda looked confused as she asked, "Does Mr. Fu and JL have a close rtionship?"


    "I think so, otherwise how can this scene be exined?" One of them said with an interested gaze.


    Fu Hua was not moved by Jia Li''s feelings as he continued to say with a proud smile on his face, "You all have been curious to know who my wife is and I bet you that she is here and she is not jealous of my actions here on stage, although she feels like killing me right now."


    After saying this, Fu Hua slowly turned his gaze to Jia Li and stretched out his hand to her.


    Fu Hua''s actions caused gasps of shock to escape from the lips of the surprised audience and viewers.


    "Oh my goodness! JL is Mr. Fu''s wife?"


    "Don''t tell me that JL is The Hidden Wife of the Cold CEO?"


    "Can some please wake me up from my dreams?"


    Smiles appeared on the faces of the Fu family and even FangSu and DanDan who had changed out of the outfit happily watched the Tv from the big room they were in.


    "That''s my brother!" FangSu said with a proud look.


    Jia Li, on the other hand nced at Fu Hua''s hand, as she refused to take it. She was still shocked by his actions and that equally made her embarrassed.


    Fu Hua was not angry that Jia Li did not take his hand, instead, he used the microphone to say to her, "Just now when you were giving your speech, you acknowledged your husband and now that he is standing in front of you and giving you his hand, you don''t want to take it?"


    ''It is finished!'' Jia Li thought as she slowly moved her gaze from his hand to his smiling face. It was as if time had stopped as Fu Hua just revealed his Hidden Wife to them.


    Those who had already guessed their rtionship, had different thoughts and emotions going on in them.


    Jia Li sighed with her eyes closed before slowly taking his hands with her gaze downwards. She was shy when she heard the gasps of shocks from the audience and the whispering flying around.


    "OMG! They are really married!"


    "I don''t want this dream to end."


    "What a perfect match!"


    "I''m happy that I didn''t miss today''s show for the music concert."


    "I want Mr. Fu to grant at least one interview to answer all our questions."


    "For example the reason he hid his wife for this long."


    "Forget about the cold CEO epting an Interview but if he addresses this situation again, we would be lucky."


    "I''m really curious about their rtionship right now!"


    Backstage, Jia Li''s colleagues were too shocked to say anything. Even Mari¨¦ looked dumbfounded as she stared hard at the TV.


    Fu Hua who was happy that Jia Li took his hand, smiled even brightly before bringing the back of her palm to his lips, to the amazement of everyone.


    "My wife is shy and I''m sorry to her for not telling her about this beforehand. I am my wife''s biggest fan and she may not know this. I know a lot of you are curious about our rtionship, so I made a 3 minutes video which would be out an hour after this showes to an end. Thank you for your interest in my Hidden Wife and you will be seeing us together from this moment onwards."


    After saying this, Fu Hua handed the microphone to the mc who was still shocked by the turn of events and then he walked away with his shy wife, while still holding onto her hands.

 Chapter 483 - Mariés Ugly Side

    <h4>Chapter 483 - Mari¨¦''s Ugly Side</h4>


    Theizens and the Inte has been on fire since the public revtion of The Hidden Wife of the Cold CEO. When the Fu family was about to leave, the reporters tried to chase after them but their security blocked them off.


    Jasmine looked a little scared with so many people following them and screaming at them. She pouted her lips and was about to cry when her grandfather, Fu Lei, blocked her from seeing the reporters who were screaming so many questions at them.


    Jasmine seemed to be more rxed after she got away from the crazy reporters and the noise they brought along. Finally safe in the car, she looked a bit better.


    "Thismotion is going to take a few days to clear." Fu ChunHua said after she got inside the car with Fu Geming.


    As FJ''s employee, Jia Li still had a few things to take care of, so she didn''t go home yet, including Fu Hua who still had to address his staff, concerning his rtionship with Jia Li.


    Despite the fact that his staff has already heard him dering while on stage that Jia Li was his wife, it still felt strange to them hearing it from his mouth again.


    Jia Li could not make eye contact with anybody because of the gazes on her. She didn''t know how to face her colleagues because she could guess the thoughts going on in their minds.


    After officially introducing Jia Li as his wife to his staff, Fu Hua added, "I know my wife will still love to be treated just like before but you still have to bear in mind that she is my wife before you think of doing anything wrong to her."


    After saying that, Fu Hua turned to Jia Li to say, before walking away after squeezing her hand gently, "Sweetheart, see you in the next couple of minutes."


    Linda and the rest still looked shocked after the revtion. Now, they were thinking twice about approaching her. She was their Boss''s wife and also their colleague but they were still confused as to what light to see her in and also on how they should address her.


    After Fu Hua walked away with Zimo, some other staff like the HR and Tech department, started to leave. Jia Li still had her gaze downwards not daring to meet anyone''s gaze until Sunny approached her.


    "JL, your models are still waiting, you should address them first beforeing for the short meeting we have." Sunny said after patting Jia Li''s shoulder.


    Jia Li nodded in understanding before walking away. And just when she thought her colleagues would snub her, they immediately surrounded her after Sunny and the other directors left.


    "Jia Li, are you really Mr. Fu''s wife?" One of the newbies asked with an excited gaze.


    Jia Li nced at her colleagues one after the other before nodding in response to the question that was asked.


    "Wow! This is so shocking!" The initial person said with her hands over her mouth.


    "But JL, this feels so surreal. How were you able to hide this fact for this long?" One of them asked because if she were to be in Jia Li''s shoes, she would surely not be able to keep such big news to herself.


    "I told you she is humble and also likes to keep to herself." Another person replied.


    Jia Li felt guilty for hiding such an important fact from her colleagues, so she bowed slightly and said to them in an apologetic tone, "I''m really sorry for hiding my rtionship from you but I wanted it that way to avoid preferential treatment."


    Linda finally said something to her, "There is nothing to be apologetic about, this is what you wanted, so no one will be against you, after all, we all have secrets."


    "Yes, Jia Li, there is no need to feel guilty. I''m happy to be friends with someone with connections at the Top." One of them said cheerfully.


    "That''s right, JL, you have to take care of us now." Another person said with a smile.


    Jia Li felt better about seeing her colleagues'' reactions to her. She was happy that they epted her just like their normal colleague.


    "I''m d that you all still treat me well but I will have to plead with you not to see me as Mr. Fu''s wife, I''m still your normal colleague, so please treat me like that or I will be ufortable." Jia Li said with a meek look.


    "There is no need to plead with us, we will still try to treat you like our normal colleague." Linda said with a smile.


    "It''s not going to be easy for us while knowing that you a big shot is in our midst but we are going to try our best." Another person said with a smile.


    "That''s right, Jia Li, congrattions on the awards and the International recognition, you did well." A male colleague said.


    "Congrattions Linda, on the International recognition." Jia Li said to Linda after the other finished congratting her.


    "Thank you." Linda replied with a smile.


    While the others surrounded Jia Li and were speaking amicably with her, Mari¨¦ strutted over in her heels.


    "All of you are so pretentious! I can''t believe you easily forgave her after she hid her identity from us, I still think that she saw us as fools." Mari¨¦ said with an unfriendly gaze at Jia Li.


    Immediately, all attention was now on Mari¨¦. One of the newbies looked so pissed off at being called pretentious that she fired back at her.


    "You stand there to call us pretentious but what about you? You are more pretentious than us. You feel that you are the best and that no one should be better than you, hence you dyed to go and receive your award."


    "Mari¨¦ you are very rude. You have been sitting all by yourself and ignored us for a long time as if we did something wrong to you and now you are insulting us?" Another person asked.


    "At least I''m better than most of you. You can''t wait to hug a thick thigh but I refused to surrender to that." Mari¨¦ said with a smile that was not a smile.


    "We are 100 times better than you! Sometimes, it''s actually good to hide your evil intentions out of respect for others." Another person said before a male colleague added...


    "You were unhappy that you didn''t get the first position and because of that, you ignored us all and went to sit by yourself.. Do you think you are the only one that feels bad when they do not win anything? We also feel bad when our works are not acknowledged but that is enough to know that we need to do better. It doesn''t stop us from congratting the winners but you, you are so selfish!"

 Chapter 484 - Rumors

    <h4>Chapter 484 - Rumors</h4>


    "Mari¨¦, you are behaving a lot like Bai Jun." Linda said with a frown. She looked disappointed seeing Mari¨¦ act like that.


    "Oh please do notpare me with that worthless human! I am a lot better than her." Mari¨¦ said in an angry tone.


    "Seriously, I don''t see any difference between you two." Linda said.


    "There is a big difference between us. I don''t go around having eyes on another woman''s man and neither do I sabotage my colleagues'' works. I only try to fight for my rightful position." Mari¨¦ said.


    One of them asked with folded arms, "And what rightful position is yours? Do you think you own FJ and that nobody can do better than you?"


    Jia Li who has been listening to them argue and exchange words got tired and didn''t want to stand in their midst, so she reminded them about the meeting they had with Sunny and only then did they agree to go their separate ways.


    Jia Li could finally heave a sigh of relief as she walked about to check on her models. She addressed them before letting them go.


    DanDan knew that Jia Li would be so busy, so she hugged her and asked for them to meet up before Christmas, to which Jia Li agreed.


    FangSu on the other hand embraced Jia Li for a long time before letting her go. And she left after saying these words to her, "Congrattions Sister-inw, see you at home."


    After the brief meeting with Sunny, Jia Li packed her things and left for the underground parking lot. Fu Hua asked her to wait for him, she didn''t want to at first because she didn''t want them to be seen together by the others immediately after they just announced their rtionship but she didn''t want to disobey him, so she just listened.


    On their way back home, Fu Hua wanted them to get something outside but Jia Li refused. She knew that she was probably the center of attention, so she didn''t want those curious gazes on her.


    Fu Hua understood her worries and just hugged her while asking the driver to take them straight to the house.


    Back home, the Fu family was waiting for them to have a little celebration. Grandfather Fu was especially happy that Fu Hua revealed Jia Li''s identity as his wife to the public.


    Jasmine who wasn''t able to be at a close range with her parents earlier could finally rx in their embrace. Normally, the little bun liked to feed herself but today, she allowed her mother to feed her. It seems that they missed her greatly.


    When FangSu and YingPei tried to get her attention so they could carry her away, she didn''t fall for their tricks and remained hidden in her mother''s embrace.


    The next day, it looked like Fu Hua knew the cons of announcing that Jia Li was his wife because he stayed calm with the new rumor going on that Jia Li''s dresses were deliberately made to look the best so the award would be given to her.


    This rumor came after Mari¨¦ posted something about thepetition. Her words were suggestive and implied that something was wrong with thepetition.


    An Anti-fan of Jia Limented under the post and shared it. This was what she said, "FJ was biased with thepetition, I''m sure something shady was done, otherwise how could JL''s dress look the best? Did they provide the best materials and leave so little for the remaining contestants?"


    After she shared her post, so many people attacked her but some supported her.


    "I also thought something was wrong. I think JL was treated that way because she is Mr. Fu''s wife and this was done to make her stand out."


    As this heated conversation was going on, Sunny immediately contacted the Public Rtions to ask them to take care of the rumors after giving them details of thepetition before calling Mari¨¦ on phone.


    Mari¨¦ who felt guilty for what she did, as she was carried away by anger, was afraid to answer Sunny''s call. She just broke a rule as FJ''s employee. She talked bad about herpany and published something she shouldn''t have.


    Sunny was angry that Mari¨¦ was ignoring her call and finally sent her a direct message, listing out the punishment she was to receive, for speaking ill of FJ and also spreading false information on the.


    Sunny asked her not to bother reporting to work the next day, and till 2 weeks was off and as for the prize she got from thepletion, FJ was going to take it back and give it to someone else that was worth it.


    When the other colleagues saw Mari¨¦''s post, they were very angry and wanted to attack her but they didn''t want to cause more fights, so they came together topose a message before posting it with one of their ounts.


    Their message strongly emphasized that the budget given to all of them were equal but Jia Li used her money to add to what thepany gave them to work with and that was why a lot of effort was seen in her designs and that she was not to be med for it. In the end, they said that she deserved the award and that they were proud of her.


    Within a minute, FJ made a public post. They said an equal budget was given to each contestant and because there was no rule that said that the contestants couldn''t use their money for thepetition, Jia Li didn''t break any rule. Also, Mari¨¦''s punishment for spreading a false rumor about FJ was publicized.


    When most people finally came to understand the reasons Jia Li''s designs looked more expensive than her colleagues, they praised her for being smart.


    Someone said that even if the stone she used on her dresses were fake, she would still be the winner because her dresses were outstanding.


    Someone else said that there was no way Jia Li could use fake material, as it would ruin FJ''s standards.


    When Mari¨¦ discovered that Jia Li used her money for thepetition and that she deceived the public, she regretted her actions.


    When her colleagues were asking Jia Li about her designs, she was angry and jealous and so sat by herself and that was the reason she had no idea that Jia Li used her own money for thepetition.


    Mari¨¦ was blinded by jealousy and of the fact that Jia Li got the first ce, so she made that post about her having more budget than them and concluded that it was the reason she came first.

 Chapter 485 - Christmas Shopping

    <h4>Chapter 485 - Christmas Shopping</h4>


    Jia Li never believed that Mari¨¦''s reaction to her winning the best neer award, would be this extreme, her jealousy was truly at another level.


    When everyone thought that the matter has been settled, Feng Alix posted something, "Someone came from a poor family background but she only does things that will benefit the rich."


    Her meaning was so clear and to whom that message was directed, was clear. She was talking about Jia Li. She was saying that JL came from a poor family but was designing expensive outfits the people in the same financial state she came from, could not afford.


    FJ and the Fu family did not need to react because someizens who have been annoyed with Feng Alix since she was cklisted, took this opportunity she just gave to them, to bacsh her.


    "We know you are referring to JL but you are a coward for not calling names. You seem to sound patriotic but we know clearly that you are a hypocrite. FJ is a brand created specifically for the people that can afford it, so do you expect her to design something below FJ''s standard, you moron!!!"


    "What a nuisance to the society! I can see how bitter your heart is. It looks like you still haven''t stopped fantasizing about Mr. Fu, so you got jealous and had to attack his wife."


    "You have the guts to speak against somebody who has a far greater standing, are you not ashamed of yourself? You speak against JL following FJ''s standard but you have forgotten that you do not follow the standard of the society."


    "I''m sure she is seeking for attention, how shameless of her."


    "She married a man old enough to be her grandfather and how on earth did she shamelessly get a little percentage from hispany when he has so many descendants?"


    Someone replied to thatment. "Do you need to ask? She must have washed his brain."


    "Feng Alix, it will do you no good dragging JL because you do not have what it takes."


    "What a shame to the human race!"


    "I wish she could be locked up somewhere forever, she is beginning to piss me off."


    Within a few minutes, Feng Alix discovered how much she was hated but that didn''t move her. An hourter, she made another post.


    She posted a picture of her in a bikini and a ss of red wine in her hand, with a caption that said, ''I am unapologetic''


    And intentionally, she turned off herment section, so that nobody would make a nastyment under her post.


    But you have to trustizens to have a way of making their nastyments and calling her out. Most of them reposted her post and tagged her while throwing so many hatefulments.


    So many people reported her ounts, so she would be banned but it didn''t work because of the level of connection, she has since marrying her business tycoon husband. This pissed them off because Feng Alix was intentionally provoking them and there was no way for them to retaliate, as the hatefulment didn''t affect her.


    Mari¨¦ on the other hand deleted her post and threw her phone aside. She was afraid to read thements under the post because she knew there would only be attacks directed at her.


    From what was happening, Jia Li could tell how much she was loved and supported. It felt so heartwarming to see many supporters that she wished she could thank all of them.


    Fu Hua had thought that Jia Li would not be able to take what was happening on social media but to his surprise, she took it quite well.


    "Sweetheart, you don''t have to bother about what is going on out there, nothing can change the fact that you are my wife." Fu Hua said to her.


    "I''m not bothered because I know the pros and cons of being your wife and since I havee to understand that fact, I will bear the cross." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    Fu Hua smiled and caressed her face. "Mother said you are going for Christmas shopping next weekend."


    "Yes, Christmas is around the corner, so we have to go out to shop for the celebration." Jia Li replied.


    This was surely going to make it to the headlines when the Fu female family members will be out for a grand shopping.


    The next weekend, all the female family members went out for shopping. Even the little bun went with them.


    It was so eye-catching to see the female family members of the Fu family with their securitye into the big high-end shopping mall.


    The adorable little girl was seen walking by herself while holding onto her mother''s hand. Her legs were strong enough to walk steadily some distance.


    Immediately the Fu family walked into the mall, so many people came to take pictures of them. Once again, the little bun who seemed to be afraid of the crowd immediately clutched her mother''s legs and wanted to be in her arms.


    Jia Li had no choice but to lift her in her arms. Jasmine circled her short arms around her mother''s neck and when she felt secure, she nced at the people surrounding her with curiosity.


    FangSu and Meixu who were standing close to Jia Li, chuckled softly when the little girl clung to her mother''s arms when she saw the crowd.


    "Da Xia, wave to them." FangSu said to the little bun with a smile while trying to take her hand but Jasmine snatched her hand from her. She didn''t want to wave to anybody.


    The people watching themughed and pointed at the little bun as they found her actions adorable.


    The Fu family security team among with the mall''s security team, cleared the path for them so they could go on to take the esctor.


    When they were about to take the esctor, Jasmine saw the moving stairs and tightened her hold on her mother. Jia Li noticed she was scared of it and smiled at her.


    "Don''t be afraid, I will hold you.." Jia Li whispered to her ears.

 Chapter 486 - Fu ChuHuas Decision

    <h4>Chapter 486 - Fu ChuHua''s Decision</h4>


    While shopping for the Christmas decorations, Jasmine picked some colorful Christmas balls and put them in her mother''s shop basket. The little girl has truly be a small adult to follow whatever her mother was doing.


    The shop attendants couldn''t hide their happiness while watching the adorable little girl shop with her mother. If their phones were with them, they would have secretly taken pictures of the little girl.


    After an hour of shopping, the little girl was already tired and allowed her Aunt to hold her while eating a chocte bar.


    The Fu family ordered so many Christmas trees ???? and decorations. It would have been easy and stress-free if they had ordered these things online, or sent their servants to get them, but they chose to shop by themselves.


    After shopping, the Fu family finished shopping, they went to an expensive restaurant to dine, and before they could get home, the inte was already in an uproar because of their shopping pictures that made it to the inte.


    This was the first time Jia Li was made a public appearance after her identity was revealed. There were so manyments under Jia Li and Jasmine''s photo. The little girl was in her mother''s arms while gazing at the onlookers. The thing that attracted much attention, was how much the mother and daughter looked so much alike.


    Jia Li''s fansplimented her and the little bun, and many people were happy to see Jia Li standing alongside the other Fu family members.


    Some people who wanted to anger Feng Alix reposted the pictures from the shopping mall and tagged her.


    "Can you see the woman you are so jealous of, you can''t beat her."


    "Why can''t you learn to be a quarter peaceful as JL is."


    "I''m sure seeing these pictures will anger you, and I want you to be angry, so I tagged you."


    When Feng Alix so the pictures, there was no reaction from her, as she didn''t want to admit that she was jealous of Jia Li, and still had her eyes on Fu Hua. It looks like her shamelessness knew some bounds.


    Quickly, Christmas Eve came, and the Fu Vi was fully decorated as the Christmas celebration was ready to kick off.


    The Fu family came fully prepared to celebrate Christmas and sent out invitations for dignitaries to join in their celebration.


    If they were an ordinary family, they might not receive so many responses from their invitees on Christmas day, because so many people would be celebrating with their families on that day. But because of how influential they were, their invites were responded to.


    On Christmas Eve, the Fu family sent out so many Christmas presents to their family and friends, and they got so many in return.


    The little princess of the Fu family got more gifts than any family member. Since the little bun celebrated her first birthday, she has been receiving so many gifts from both close friends of the family and those who have received one favor or the other from the Fu family.


    During dinner on Christmas Eve, Fu ChuHua made a shocking move that surprised everybody including Grandfather Fu. She optioned to give the ''Mistress'' title back to Fu Hee.


    Seeing how everybody was staring at her in shock, she said, "What? does it look like I can''t do it?."


    "You really look like someone that will never consider it." Fu Juan said.


    "I''m not that evil, and besides, people change. I know the right thing to do. This position originally belonged to the first daughter-inw of the family which is Fu Hee, so I''m returning the title to her." Fu ChuHua said.


    Fu Hee gazed at Fu ChuHua meaningfully and asked, "What made you want to give the title back to me because I know you enjoy the benefits thate with it."


    "I already said that I am a changed person, and I wanted to do the right thing. Since Father was the one that gave your title to me, I will now ask for his permission to allow me to give your title back to you, and this night, all the servants will be addressed, and you will be recognized once again." Fu ChuHua said with a smile.


    As she said, she was now a changed person. She felt the need to return the title to Fu Hee, as that was the right thing to do. She wasn''t surprised by the shocked gazes from the members of the family, because she knew they all saw her as a greedy person who wouldn''t take such steps, but at this moment she proved them wrong.


    Besides, being the Mistress of the Fu family came with a lot of responsibility which seems bigger than the benefits. Returning to her original position will bring her more peace, and more free time to herself.


    Before deciding to do this, she struggled with it, but after concluding on the matter in her heart, she decided to hand it over to Fu Hee over two months ago but chose to do it on this special day.


    After replying to Fu Hee, She nced in Grandfather Fu''s direction and said to him with a fawning smile, "Father, I have decided return Fu Hee''s title to her, and since you are the one that gave it to me, I am seeking tour permission to do the needful."


    Grandfather Fu nced at her and replied, "You can go ahead and return the title to her."


    Since Grandfather Fu has given his permission, Fu ChuHua gave the title back to Fu Hee.


    Fu Meixu didn''t think of anything her mother did. It was her decision to make, and she couldn''t say if she was right or wrong.


    Fu Geming who was sitting beside his wife apuded her for the step she took.


    While the Fu family was eating in merriment, the same was happening in the Huang family which was situated in another City.


    The first daughter of the Huang family who during thepetition for FJ''s new designers thought that the ''Qin'' surname was familiar, was present at the dinner table.


    When the dinner was alreadying to an end, she gazed at her old parents and said particrly to her father, "Dad, I have remembered where I first heard about that surname, ''Qin''."

 Chapter 487 - The Huang Family

    <h4>Chapter 487 - The Huang Family</h4>


    Immediately, she said that her aged mother''s facial expression stiffened. She seems to know about the particr Qin family her daughter was talking about.


    "What is so special about the Qin family that you have to interrupt my dinner?" Old Mr. Huang asked with a frown.


    A middle-aged man, who looked like the first daughter of the Huang family said with a frown, "Qin family? That sounds like the surname of the guy Li eloped with years ago."


    Immediately he said that there was a terrible silence, as rage boiled in Old Mr. Huang''s heart. Hearing about his second daughter who eloped years ago with the man she loved, angered him greatly.


    Old Mr. Huang was so angry that he clenched his fist before smashing it on the table with an angry gaze directed at his first son and first daughter.


    "I thought I made it clear to never mention Huang Li''s name in this family again!" Old Mr. Huang said.


    Seeing how angry he was, Old Mrs. Huang and the rest of the members of the family flinched in fear.


    It was only one that was bold enough to speak up and that was thest child out of the five children of Old Mr. and Mrs.Huang and she looked to be in herte 40s.


    "But father, It''s been over 24 years since this happened, why are you still angry with sister? Since she left the house, we have never set our eyes on her, not even once, and we also haven''t heard from her."


    "Did you see how you phrased your words? You said she left the house, while in the actual sense, she eloped with that poor man that we have no idea of what his identity was! That girl rejected the good marriage I arranged for her and chose to elope with a low-ss man, so how do you expect me to care for her?" Mr. Huang roared.


    His grandchildren that surrounded the dinner table, did not dare to continue eating. It was only one or two of them that knew of the existence of the second daughter of the Huang family but they didn''t have many details, since it was taboo to mention her name or talk about her. As did the rest that had no idea of what was going on, they had a confused gaze.


    "Father, you are somehow at fault. When Li rejected the marriage you proposed because she already had someone she loved, you rejected her choice and didn''t bother to investigate the kind of man she wanted to marry at that time. The only thing you knew, was that he was poor and that also the only thing etched at the back of your mind." The second son said and he looked angry with his father.


    "Are you ming me now?" Old Mr. Huang asked with a finger pointed at him. He seemed more furious now.


    "Father, you need to let your anger disappear, as this case has lingered for so many years. Li, is also your daughter and she was the only one that refused the arranged marriage you set for her but this happened so many years ago, you need to forget about it." The first daughter said with a frown.


    "If Li''s child, is actually Qin Jia Li, then that means that she is truly dead and we were not aware of that." The first son said with his fingers tapping the table.


    "What? Li is dead?" Old Mrs. Huang asked as her eyes became teary. She couldn''t believe that her daughter who she hasn''t seen for so many years was dead. This news came as a shock to her.


    The third daughter became worried seeing her mother''s tears.


    "Mum, we haven''t confirmed the identity of the girl, so we are not sure she is Li''s daughter but if she is, then I am afraid that Li is dead already since the girl said a tribute to herte parents on stage."


    "No! My daughter can''t die like that! She promised to take care of herself!" Old Mrs. Huang said in tears. She was truly disheartened to hear this sorrowful news.


    "What are you shedding tears for? To me, Li died that same day she eloped with that man. She caused such a huge embarrassment between us and the Chu family!" Old Mr. Huang said in anger.


    He was not touched to hear whether his second daughter was alive or not because to him, she has been dead for so many years.


    Old Mrs. Huang got angry and said in a raised tone, "Old Huang, you caused the whole embarrassment! Li rejected the marriage but you insisted and went on to print wedding cards, what kind of father does that!"


    "Are you all trying to challenge my authority? This will not happen in this house! I don''t care if Li is still alive or not or if that girl is her child but none of them will ever step foot into this family! I will neither allow Li, who is my embarrassment toe back to this family, nor the child she had with that Qin guy, to step foot into this family!" Old Mr. Huang said before standing to his feet and walking away in anger.


    "I can''t believe that father doesn''t want to let things go after such a long time." The first daughter said with a frown.


    "He only cares about his face, nothing else." The first son said in disappointment.


    "I wonder how he manages to sleep at night when he is bearing a grudge of so many years in his heart." The second son said with an angry gaze.


    "If he can''t even forgive his own flesh and blood, other people that have offended him, shouldn''t bother expecting any forgiveness from him." The third daughter and thest child of the family said.


    Old Mrs. Huang who was disappointed with her husband of so many years and who was also sad with the sorrowful news she just got, broke out in tears.


    Seeing their mother in tears, they had to abandon their anger tofort her, while their grown-up children watched on.

 Chapter 488 - Another Wonderful Year

    <h4>Chapter 488 - Another Wonderful Year</h4>


    Christmas Day was a day set out for Christians to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Most families usually celebrated this day by cooking, eating and having fun with their families and also exchanging gifts.


    But for the Suarez family, it was a different case. Since Feng Alix walked into their family and took on the role of the Mistress of their household, peace has been far from them.


    Mr. Suarez no longer listens to any of his family members apart from Alix and whatever she wants, is what she will get. Whatever she decided, is what everyone will get.


    And being a woman who knew how to please her old husband, she surely knew the way to his heart and also how to get whatever she wanted from him.


    Normally a big family like Suarez just like any other prominent family should have a family tradition but this year, none of that was happening nor was going to happen because Alix was in charge of nning the Christmas celebration.


    Some weeks before Christmas, Mr. Suarez asked her what she wanted as a Christmas gift and she said she would like to n the Christmas celebration. She was given permission for that, much to the annoyance of the Suarez family members.


    Being given permission to do what she liked, Alix altered the generational ritual in the family. She nned tree Christmas celebration however she liked it, and no matter theints that were given to the old man, he still let her do what she wanted.


    Furious as to what charm Alix had used on their family head, the whole family ganged up against her and nned to sabotage her party.


    On Christmas Day, all Alix had, was a ruined party. All the people she employed to prepare the event, disappointed her.


    The Christmas party which was supposed to start in the evening by 7 pm, which was ording to the time she put on the invitation cards she sent out kicked off earlier than expected.


    Alix wondered while the guests she invited by 7 pm, was doing in their house by 4 pm. The party was supposed to start by 7 pm but guests started arriving by 4 pm, which came as a shock to her.


    She has to check the invitation cards herself and when she saw the time that was written there, she finally understood why her guests came early and she didn''t need anyone to tell her that this was a n to disorganize her party.


    Since her guests came early, Alix tried to move everything up to that time but failed. The caterers and everybody she employed for the event, did not respond positively since they were not prepared for the turn of events.


    Seeing all her preparations go downhill, the disappointment of her guests, the gloating of the Suarez family, the anger on her husband''s face, Alix felt like killing somebody. And even after she cried to Mr. Suarez telling him that someone ruined her party, he didn''t believe her. He only expressed his disappointment at the face he lost in front of so many distinguished guests.


    Although she knew who sabotaged her party, she didn''t have the guts to go and challenge the entire Suarez family without evidence because they still had a lot of power in their hands, so she could only cry by herself.


    The Christmas party the Fu family hosted which kicked off around 5 PM, was sessful and heartwarming, as so many family friends came to celebrate.


    Jia Li''s three friends were present, and they could not get over the cuteness of the little bun in her Christmas dress. The three youngdies were lucky that the little bun who was initially scared of them holding her finally rxed her vignce.


    Jia Li''s three friends felt lucky to be in the presence of so many dignitaries and it was all thanks to the fact that Jia Li gave them an invitation card to the party.


    FangSu and Meixu introduced Jia Li to their friends, who were also her fans. But it was a little disappointing that Jia Li could not design something privately for them since she was FJ''s employee.


    "Don''t be too sad, you can always buy her clothes released in the market for the Film festival awards and any other events of your choice." Fu Meixu had sent to them.


    "Yes, you can support your favorite designer that way." FangSu added with a smile.


    Jia Li was grateful that FangSu and Meixu were helping to introduce her works to their circle and she didn''t know how to thank them even though they didn''t need it.


    A few dayster, it was New Year''s Eve and currently, it was a few minutes to midnight and the entire Fu family members including their servants and security team, stood outside in protective clothing while waiting for the right time to light up the firecrackers.


    Everyone apart from the little bun who was sleeping in Fu Ling''s arms waited eagerly to set off the firecrackers and shout, ''Happy New Year!''


    And Finally, immediately it clocked 12, the first light works set off after a 10 seconds countdown by the Fu family, and they all screamed in Unison, ''Happy New Year!!!''


    The little bun who was dozing off in her Uncle''s arms slowly opened her eyes after the noise from the fireworks and the voices from the family members woke her up.


    Everyone wished the little bun a happy new year and they were very careful with their actions so as not to make the little girl cry. She just woke up from sleep and still looked a little shocked with their shouts and the fireworks and if they are aggressive with their greeting, they couldn''t guarantee that she wouldn''t start crying.


    It wouldn''t look good for the little bun to start a new hour a new day and a new year with cries, so they were really mindful with their actions. And when they noticed that little girl was finally rxed, they sighed in relief and continued with their shouts of joy.


    After greeting each other, the family remained standing in ce and watched the fireworks. Fu Hua was standing beside Jia Li, went behind to embrace her.


    While resting his jaw on her shoulder, he leaned in to whisper to her ear, "Wee to another wonderful year with you."


    "Thank you!" Jia Li replied with a smile as her gaze was still on the fireworks. When she thought he was done talking, she felt his hot breath tease her neck, while listening to his naughty words.


    "I''m horny."

 Chapter 489 - Lets Have A Wedding

    <h4>Chapter 489 - Let''s Have A Wedding</h4>


    Jia Li was embarrassed, like how could he be thinking about bed matters when everyone was celebratinging into a new year? Atst, Jia Li concluded that only he could pull it off.


    After drinking a bottle of aged wine, the Fu family members went back inside the house. Luckily, the little bun has gone back to sleep so she was taken to her nursery, otherwise, she would surely not let her parents off after being coerced to wake up and join them in the celebration.


    On their way to the bedroom, Fu Hua kept talking about how they haven''t done it for more than 2 weeks.


    "Am I running away?" Jia Li asked with a frown as he led her inside the bedroom.


    "I''m surprised you are not running away, this could only mean that you have grown up." Fu Hua said as he winked at her.


    "Let''s take a bath first." Jia Li said as she walked towards the inner room but Fu Hua swept her off her feet and carried her to the bed.


    "We already had our bath before dinner." And as he finished speaking, he captured her lips in a fiery kiss.


    Jia Li couldn''t stand his pro-activeness and ced her palms on his chest wanting to push him away but instead, he broke the kiss and moved one of her hands to his erection, so she could feel how horny he said he was.


    No words could leave Jia Li''s lips after feeling his scorching member. She didn''t need to argue with him after knowing that he needed help.


    Seeing how quiet his wife was, Fu Hua smiled and said to her, "You don''t look like you are in the mood for this but how about I set you in the right mood?"


    Jia Li stared at him with an expectant gaze. She was waiting for him to set her in the mood.


    While staring right into her eyes, his gaze changed from a calm gaze to a heated one and he slowly pressed his hard-on in between her legs, while slowly moving it against her.


    A gasp of pleasure escaped from Jia Li''s lips as Fu Hua continue moving up against her. This man really knew how to make all the screws in her head go lose. Even the way he stares at her, while intentionally lighting her up, he was truly an expert in this field.


    Fu Hua knew that Jia Li was falling into the lines of pleasure and went on to nibble on her neck while moving his hands inside her clothes. From her neck, he moved to her lips and engaged in a deep french kiss which almost took her soul away.


    A few minutester, clothes flew by and littered the floor in the room but the man and woman entangled with each other didn''t care about it.


    They kissed, felt and moved against each other in a fiery passion till they became exhausted.


    An hourter, Jia Liy in Fu Hua''s arms. They were enjoying each other''s warmth as they snuggled against each other with their naked bodies.


    On Jia Li''s faceid a satisfied smile which could not be easily wiped off as her head rested peacefully on Fu Hua''s naked chest.


    Fu Hua had a gentle gaze while caressing her naked back with his hand. If Jia Li asks anything from him, he would dly do it without thinking.


    Fu Hua was the first person to break the silence. He has been thinking about this matter for such a long time and having concluded on it, he decided to open up to Jia Li about it.


    "Sweetheart, let''s get married... I mean, let''s have a wedding."


    Time slowly stopped for Jia Li toprehend his words. She couldn''t believe what she just heard, so she needed some time to digest it.


    Fu Hua was patient with her, as he was aware that bringing up the topic, would be a shock to her, so he gave her time to ponder over what he just said to her.


    Jia Li was surprised that he brought up about them having a wedding because she has since removed her mind from it, even though she kind of minded a lot. She didn''t want to be the one to bring it up the first time she thought about it and slowly, with Jasmineing into the picture, and being busy with work, she forgot about it. But now that he brought it up, she was curious to know the reason behind it, so she slowly raised her face to nce at him and asked...


    "It''s been 2 years since we legally got married, what made you think about holding a wedding now?"


    Fu Hua heaved a sigh before replying, "It is only right that we should hold a wedding, money is not a problem and we love each other. I should have done this sooner but Jasmine came unnned, you had to raise her and then work came up at FJ. I didn''t want to rush with the ns, so after thinking about this for a long time, I have decided that we should hold a wedding soon."


    "You''ve been thinking about this?" Jia Li asked in surprise. She had no idea that just like her, he has been thinking about holding a wedding.


    "Yes, I have been thinking about it and I wanted us to have the wedding on the same date we signed our marriage certificate but September is too far, so let''s hold it in April." Fu Hua said.


    He had thought about holding the wedding in September and on the same date they got their marriage certificate but it wouldn''t make sense to wait for 8 months just to have their wedding.


    Thinking about another special month to hold their wedding, he had to pick April and during the Easter Period.


    He would have picked February which was his birth month but that will be too close, as they were already in January. July was Jia Li and Jasmine''s birth month and he didn''t want to use that day, since he didn''t want too many activities in that month.. To him, that month was special and set aside to celebrate the two women in his life.

 Chapter 490 - Pick Up Food Instead Of Flowers

    <h4>Chapter 490 - Pick Up Food Instead Of Flowers</h4>


    "September is really far, April is a good month to hold our Wedding." Jia Li replied with a smile. She was so excited that she pressed her bare chest against his chest. If she had a lot of strength, she would have squeezed life out of him in the name of a hug.


    Fu Hua could see how happy she was and felt a little guilty for not holding the Wedding sooner. He knew how important a wedding was to a women and he neglected that fact before.


    No matter how tight their schedule may be, he swore to make sure their Wedding holds during Easter Period.


    "I will notify the family during breakfast and after that, we can start nning the wedding with the help of a Wedding nner. As for your Wedding Dress, I will take care of it and I promise to give you a satisfactory result." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    Hearing him say that he will take care of her Wedding dress, an idea came to Jia Li''s head which got her excited.


    "Will you design it yourself?" She asked with an expectant gaze.


    Fu Hua smiled that she guessed his ns correctly and he replied, "I am 80 percent through with the illustration and not only am I designing it, I will also make the dress alongside 2 famous Wedding dress designers."


    "What! Are you for real?" Jia Li said in surprise while sitting up in a hurry and using the duvet to cover the front part of her body.


    Fu Hua smiled and sat up as well, before bringing her into his arms. "I''m damn serious. This Wedding is for us, so it has to be perfect. It''s going to be a private wedding with only people that matter to us, in attendance."


    Jia Li kissed his face and hugged him while saying, "OMG! I''m so excited that I don''t want to let go. I can''t wait for April toe here already. Oh my! Jasmine will be our little bride! I can''t wait to see her in the little white dress and the veil!"


    Thinking about the little bun in the outfit of a little bride, Jia Li couldn''t hide her excitement. She wished Jasmine would understand what this means, then she would immediately tell her about it.


    Seeing as his beloved wife couldn''t fight her excitement, joy flowed in Fu Hua''s heart.


    "Our little Princess will surely be the most beautiful on that day. Don''t think too much about this, let''s go to bed, it''s already past 2." Fu Hua pointed out.


    "I don''t feel sleepy and not after finding out we are having a Wedding in April." Jia Li said with a smile. This good news was already making her so restless that sleep was far away from her.


    "If you don''t feel like sleeping, how about we go for another round?" Fu Hua asked. His suggestion was more like a threat to her and normally, she was supposed to obedientlyy down on the bed and shut her eyes to sleep but it looks like she didn''t care about getting banged again, much to Fu Hua''s surprise.


    Since he didn''t really mean what he said after his ns to get her to sleep failed, he continued hugging her and listened to her talk about their uing wedding.


    Throughout the night, Jia Li did not sleep and when she closed her eyes to try to sleep, all she could see, was her walking down the aisle in a wedding gown.


    During breakfast, Fu Hua announced to the family about having a wedding in April. Grandfather Fu was the proudest of Fu Hua for his decision because he was already nning to bring it up to him in case he had forgotten that a Wedding can be held for already married couples.


    The rest of the Fu family members were excited with the big announcement from Fu Hua and went on to congratte them.


    FangSu had her gaze on Jia Li and after she saw how happy thetter was, she said to her with a teasing smile, "Sister-inw, you look so happy and I''m sure you did not sleep a winkst night."


    Jia Li blushed as all eyes were on her and it looks like she still couldn''t hide the excitement on her face.


    Fu Hua looked at her before ncing at FangSu to say, "She truly did not sleepst night out of excitement."


    "Who wouldn''t be happy to have a wedding? Jia Li, you are free to express your emotions." Fu Juan said to Jia Li with a smiling gaze.


    Looking at the adorable little girl that had bulging cheeks because of the food in her mouth, Meixu smiled and said, "I know for sure that Jasmine will be the little bride."


    "We just have to hope that she doesn''t pick up food instead of the flowers." YingPei said as he chuckled hard. FangSu, Meixu and Ling joined him inughter when they saw the protruded cheeks of the little girl who was staring at them curiously.


    Fu Hee and the rest smiled at the adorable little girl who looked confused as she didn''t know the reason everyone wasughing while staring at her.


    Seeing how everyone wasughing at his great-granddaughter and the most favored person in the family, Grandfather Fu silenced them.


    "What is wrong with eating? It''s good that Da Xia is eating good food and looking healthy, don''tugh at her again."


    "But grandfather, Da Xia, likes food a lot. I just hope she doesn''t show this side of her to the wedding guests." FangSu said inughter.


    "Who would dare to talk about my great granddaughter''s love for food? Da Xia is better looking than you. She eats well but you and Meixu eat like birds." Grandfather Fu said to her.


    "What!" FangSu and Meixu eximed in surprise. Their old man justpared their eating manners to a bird.


    "Grandfather just said that we eat like birds." FangSu said with a dumbfounded gaze.


    "Grandfather, FangSu and I are celebrities who need to watch our weight to maintain our body size.." Fu Meixu exined to him.

 Chapter 491 - Reminiscing

    <h4>Chapter 491 - Reminiscing</h4>


    Since Huang Li was mentioned in the Huang family, things have not been the same because her name was attached to a lot of things.


    Old Mrs. Huang has been sad about her daughter''s death. Even though it has not been confirmed that she is dead, she still cried every day.


    Today, she asked a servant to bring a particr key and went downstairs, to a room that had an old lock that seemed not to be touched for a long time.


    The olddy seems to hesitate a little before asking the servant to unlock the door, after which she walked into the small dusty storeroom.


    Afraid that she would choke because of the room full of dust, the servant hurriedly opened the curtains and the windows, after turning on the light.


    "Old Madam, you can''t stay here for too long, it is very dusty in here." The servant reminded her in a worried tone.


    Old Mrs. Huang did not say anything. Her gazes followed every single item in the room while reminiscing.


    "All the things here belong to Li. The day she left, her father almost burnt everything that belonged to her but I had to ask you to lock them away in fear that I would forget my daughter. I was also afraid ofing to this ce because of her father''s anger." Old Mrs. Huang said with a painful smile.


    "But Old Madam, are you not scared the Old Master will be angry if he sees that we opened this ce?" The servant asked worriedly.


    The Old Master of the Huang family can be very scary, even to his family. If his rules were went against, he would surely punish the person.


    Old Mrs. Huang smiled and replied, "I don''t care. The possibility of losing my daughter whom I haven''t seen for over 24 years now, makes me more worried than his anger."


    Old Mrs. Huang wasn''t moved about her husband''s anger, she didn''t care. If he wanted to be angry, then he should be, it doesn''t concern her anymore. Since she heard about her daughter death and her husband''s heartlessness, she divided to do things whenever and however, she wanted.


    In the small dusty room, there was a sewing machine, two travel bags, picture frames, books and so many other things.


    Not minding how dusty the room and the items in it were, Old Mrs. Huang, went over and picked up one of the picture frames. When she wanted to wipe the dust off, the servant immediately came over and used the hand towel in her hand to clean the frame, so she could have a better look at the person there.


    After the picture was cleaned, Old Mrs. Huang could finally see what her daughter looked like in her 20s. Tears welled up in the old woman''s eyes as she stared at her daughter''s smiling face and slowly, she reached up her other hand to caress the face in the picture, the face, which had some resemnce with Jia Li.


    "Li, you still look the same as I remembered you. Always smiling, kindhearted and peaceful. I don''t know what you look like now and I have been trying to picture it in my head but I can''t seem to guess." Old Mrs. Huang said in a sad tone as tears dripped down her cheeks.


    From her face, her gaze went to the pendant on her neck and she traced it with her shaky fingers. "Do you still have this pendant?" The pendant was simr to the one in Jia Li''s custody.


    How did Jia Li get the locket? Her mother left it for her when she knew the hour of her death was near.


    After staring at her daughter''s picture and talking for a long time, she put the frame back to the position she saw it, before going over to the sewing machine that was there...


    Touching the dusty surface of the sewing machine with her aged fingers, Old Mrs. Huang smiled and said to the servant, "She wanted to study Fashion and Design but her father refused and destructed her ns because she was stubborn about it. I bought this sewing machine for her, on her 18th birthday but she never got to use it for 6 months before it was brought here. Her father wanted her to study medicine and surgery because she was very smart, hence, he was against her dreams."


    The servant sighed and added, "Old Madam, I remember that back then, the second young Miss, quarreled with the old master because of this but she ended up going to a nursing school because she didn''t want to rebel against him."


    Old Mrs. Huang shook her head and said, "No, you got it all wrong. Of all my children, Li was the closest to me. She had told me of her dreams of being a Fashion Designer and being a nurse as the second option because she would love to be in close contact with patients, so she can help them with her abilities."


    "Oh..." The servant said in surprise.


    Old Mrs. Huang smiled and continued her story. "It was so hard for Li to give up on her dreams of being a Fashion Designer. Finally, when she got admission to study nursing, that was the period her father started the arranged marriage for all of them. I couldn''t even stop him as I had no say."


    Outside of the small storeroom, The first daughter and the third daughter of the Huang family were currently looking for their aged mother. They had just asked a servant about her whereabouts and were told that she was in the small storeroom, so they were on their way there now.


    "Why would mother go there? Father will surely turn this house upside down if he finds out." The first daughter said with a frown.


    "Who cares what he does, if he doesn''t want us to do what we like, we are all ready to leave him alone in this house." The third daughter said.


    "Father is very strict and his ways are twisted. Since I recognized him as my father, I still haven''t been able to guess the way he was raised.." The first daughter said in an annoyed tone.

 Chapter 492 - Fu Meixu And Zhi Ruos Clash

    <h4>Chapter 492 - Fu Meixu And Zhi Ruo''s sh</h4>


    "Father is not strict, he is mean, so don''t try to sugarcoat it. I can''t believe that after all these years, he still hasn''t changed. I mean, how can a father abandon his child for so many years and hate her to the extent of not wanting to hear her name?." The third daughter asked.


    The first daughter sighed and replied, "Sometimes, I''m grateful that I was married out of this family, otherwise I would have gone crazy long ago."


    "I pity mother who has been living with him for over fifty years now. She must have suffered a lot more than us." The third daughter said as they slowly made their way to the storeroom.


    Hearing the approaching footsteps, Old Mrs. Huang turned to nce at the hallway. The door to the storeroom was open, so she could see anyoneing towards that ce.


    Seeing her two daughtersing over, Old Mrs. Huang sighed and paused in her speech while waiting for them.


    "Mother, why are you going through Li''s stuff?." Her first daughter asked as she looked around.


    "I miss her, and this is the only ce that reminds me of her, the storeroom where all her properties are locked up instead of a bedroom." Old Mrs. Huang said with a bitter smile.


    "We all miss Li, and I can''t even remember vividly how she looks anymore, it''s been so many years." The third daughter said as she took a good look at items that reminded her of her long-lost sister.


    The servant picked up Huang Li''s photo and showed it to the two women, so they could remember what their sister looked like.


    "Li looks like that girl on TV. The resemnce is not much, but somehow, I get the same feeling when I see them." The first daughter said with furrowed brows as she stared hard at the picture.


    "Just like that girl, Li wanted to be a Fashion Designer, could she really be Li''s daughter?." The third daughter asked.


    Old Mrs. Huang''s eyes lit up, and she immediately reached out to hold her two daughter''s hands and said to them, "That girl that looks like Li, can I see her pictures?."


    The two women nced at themselves before looking at their old mother.


    Since none of them had their phones with them, they had to take their mother to the sitting room, before showing her the video of Jia Li''s speech at thepetition that was held in December.


    After watching the video, the olddy said, "She does look like Li, find out every information about her, including her hometown."


    On thest week of December, there was going to be a Chinese film festival award night, and all the actors were already getting ready for it.


    Fu Meixu was nominated for an award, including her rival Zhi Ruo, so she was very busy while looking for the outfits that will make her stand out.


    She has long ced an order for one of Jia Li''s dresses, which will be delivered to her in 3 days. Now, she was already making contact for the exquisitely crafted jewelry she would wear on that day.


    Fu Meixu didn''t want to lose out to Zhi Ruo, as she knew she would also be putting in a lot of effort to stand out as well.


    Because of how busy she was, she hasn''t been home for more than a week. She already had a condominium where she could spend the night, and amodation wasn''t a problem for her.


    Soon, the day of the film festival reached, and as Fu Meixu got ready, she couldn''t help smiling at herself in the mirror in the floor-length gown.


    Finally, after her makeup was done, the exquisitely crafted jewelry she had her eyes on, was finally secured around her neck. cing her fingers on the ne, she traced it with a proud smile on her face.


    Her assistant who saw how happy she was, smiled andplimented her, "Miss, you look so beautiful tonight."


    With her gaze still on the mirror, Fu Meixu responded, "I know. Now let''s go and shock them with my arrival."


    When they got to the location, Fu Meixu wasn''t in the mood for petty attention. She didn''t care if Zhi Ruo had arrived or not, and wanted to walk the red carpet quickly and go inside to get sitted. She already had the impression that all attention would be on her because of the details of her looks today.


    To her, if Zhi Ruo has already arrived at the event, she would only think that she (Zhi Ruo) was lucky because of her overshadowing presence. What this means is that Zhi Ruo would be lucky if she appears before her, because once she arrives all attention would be on her.


    But if she arrived before Zhi Ruo, then thetter would never get any attention, so she thought until she arrived and stepped out of the car only to see Zhi Ruo stepping out of her car as well.


    Both of them arriving at the same time wasn''t the deal, but at the fact, they wore dresses designed by Jia Li. These rivals stared hard at each other before Zhi Ruo scoffed and walked ahead.


    There was anger written all over Fu Meixu''s face as she watched Zhi Ruo walk towards the red carpet in one of Jia Li''s dresses. She couldn''t believe that they both wore the dressed from the same collection, which looked simr.


    If the media attention wasn''t on her right now, she would have gone back inside the van. But it was toote, as some of the reporters were already running towards her direction.


    Someone even announced that she and Zhi Ruo we''re wearing the dresses from the same collection which was designed by the neer Fashion Designer, ''JL''


    "Is Jia Li''s dress now what anyone can wear?." Fu Meixu said through gritted teeth before taking a smile to their media.


    When Fu Meixu was asked while she wore one of JL''s collections just like Zhi Ruo, she replied, "I don''t follow others, I create a trend and others follow me.. I have always been JL''s fan, and this is not the first time I''m wearing her dress unlike others, who just discovered her talent, and would want to trend because of her poprity now."

 Chapter 493 - FangSu Taunts Meixu

    <h4>Chapter 493 - FangSu Taunts Meixu</h4>


    After the sh with Zhi Ruo at the film festival, Fu Meixu returned to her condote at night. Immediately after she woke up from sleep the next day, she went back to the Fu house in a sore mood. She didn''t need to check the news headlines in order to know that she made it therest night.


    Obviously, she and her well-known rival wearing the dresses from the same collection by a newbie designer and added to the fact that they arrived at the same time, was surely going to make it to the headlines.


    When Fu Meixu returned home close to lunch period, FangSu who had been waiting for her return, had a goodugh at her.


    "It looks like you and Zhi Ruo are in synch, you two would make a good partner." FangSu said while chuckling softly.


    "What''s so funny about this? I was literally made aughing stock by appearing alongside that bitch!" Meixu said in an angry tone.


    "Heh! watch your tone before you get punished. As much as you hate Zhi Ruo, you can''t deny the fact that she has been in the industry longer than you and had a lot of influence, so appearing alongside her would surely attract some attention to you." FangSu said to her.


    Meixu rolled her eyes at her and said, "Who needs the attention from her side? Whenever we appear or arepared with each other, her fans tonguesh me, at least, a good number of them, so who wants that attention thates with her rude fans behavior?"


    "You two sure have a history for you to hate her so much but your fashion sense and hers matched." FangSu said with a smile.


    Meixu gritted her teeth at the reminder of their outfitst night. "I hate this! I really need to ask Jia Li not to sell her designs just to anybody, this is going to be an embarrassment to her portfolio."


    FangSu stared at her while trying to hide herughter. "You can''t ask Jia Li not to do business and besides, FJ has the right to the dress and not her. You really need to grow up."


    After saying that, FangSu turned to walk away but Meixu followed after her, "Between you and I, who needs to grow up?"


    "Surely you are the one." FangSu replied with a smile as she continued with her steps without turning back.


    "That''s a lie! Who was the one that came to wee me because she wanted tough at me?" Meixu said to her.


    "I''m done arguing with you, I''m going to find Da Xia, I want to go out with her after lunch." FangSu said as she took the stairs.


    Meixu asked as she became curious as to where she wanted to take the little princess to, "Where are you taking her to? Grandfather won''t let you go anywhere with her, it''s so cold outside."


    FangSu nced at her and continued in her steps, "It''s not like we are going to stand in the cold. I have a heater in my car and the cafe we are going to has a heater as well. Anyway, leave it, I will just go and y building blocks with her."


    FangSu and Meixu found Jasmine learning instead of ying. Jia Li was teaching the little girl the Alphabets.


    Seeing that it was her learning period, FangSu and Meixu didn''t dare to distract them. They weed themselves and sat at a ce.


    Since some people just walked in, the mother and daughter spared them a few seconds nce before going back to their work.


    After teaching the little bun for a while, Jia Li spoke with FangSu and Meixu for a while, where thetter mentioned her not selling her dresses to people like Zhi Ruo.


    Jia Li had a goodugh because she saw the news too. Meixu''s heart broke when she saw that Jia Li wasughing at her. When thetter saw her change in facial expression, she stoppedughing and apologized.


    "Sister-inw, don''t mind Meixu, how can you stop FJ from selling your dresses to their customers." FangSu said with a smile.


    Jia Li smiled and said, "Alright, I''m off. You came for Jasmine right? Please don''t take her out, she is showing signs of having a cold."


    FangSu and Meixu had a good look at the little bun who had a book on herps and observed her. Luckily, the book''s pages were designed to be thick, so she couldn''t tear it off so easily.


    "Don''t worry, we won''t take her out." FangSu assured Jia Li before she left the room for them.


    Jasmine watched as her mother walked away and she abandoned her book and wanted to follow her, FangSu and Meixu blocked her path.


    "Da Xia, where are you going to?" Meixu asked as she winked at her.


    Jasmine looked up at them before pointing at the door her mother just walked out from and said, "I want to follow my mummy."


    In order not to stress the litte girl who was finding it difficult to stare at tall people like them whenpared to her short height, FangSu and Meixu squat in front of her with a smile.


    "You want to follow your mummy? Don''t worry, she will be back. I have some choctes for you." FangSu said as she put her hand inside her pocket and brought out a chocte bar and passed it to her.


    "Thankiu!" Jasmine said to her as she epted the chocte.


    Meixu who had her gaze on the chocte, asked FangSu, "Do you have the carton of this or what?"


    She asked that question because she was always carrying choctes in her pockets.


    "I bought a pot of this for Da Xia." FangSu replied with a smile.


    Jia Li who left her little daughter in the care of FangSu and Meixu, went to the study to find Fu Hua who was busy working with his tablet.


    When she knocked and walked in, Fu Hua raised his head to nce at her and when he saw that she was the one, he asked with a smile, "How were the lectures today?"

 Chapter 494 - First Kiss

    <h4>Chapter 494 - First Kiss</h4>


    Jia Li smiled and came to his side to reply to him, "It was great. Your little girl is very smart."


    "I know, our genes are powerful. In other to relieve you of this stress, I have contacted 3 teachers for her, so she can be home-schooled for some time before we decide to send her off to school." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li said in worry,? "I have been thinking about how I can bear to let my daughter go to Kindergarten and away from us. That thought scares me, and I can tell you that I do not trust that anyone can take care of my daughter the way I do."


    "I also feel the same way. If not that it''s going to be a good development for her, I wouldn''t want her to leave the house either. But for now, she will be home-schooled till she turns 2." Fu Hua said.


    These first-time parent were scared of sending their precious little daughter to Kindergarten because of their insecurities. They didn''t trust that outsiders will be able to look after her the way they do.


    Jia Li heaved a sigh and said, "I really have to prepare my mind about sending Jasmine to Kindergarten. I''m sure she must be bored with only interacting with adults. Seeing her age mates and interacting with them, will help a lot with her social life."


    "You are on point. The 3 teachers I scrutinized will be here by 10 AM tomorrow, so will interview them, and keep only one of them." Fu Hua said.


    It took Fu Hua a lot of time to go through the 3 teachers that passed his final judgment. He was selecting a teacher for his little daughter, so he had to be very careful with it.


    "That''s good, we will both interview them to see which one will be perfect for Jasmine." Jia Li said.


    "After selecting a teacher for her, we can now take our time to find the perfect school for her." Fu Hua suggested as he put down his tablet, and picked up a file from his desk, and passed them to Jia Li.


    "What are these?." Jia Li asked with a curious gaze as she took the file from him.


    "The teachers that will be coking tomorrow. Ipiled something on each of them, so you can take your time and go through them." Fu Hua said with a smile. He wanted Jia Li to have a better understanding of the teachers that will being over the next day.


    Jia Li smiled and said, "That''s so thoughtful of you." After saying that, she kissed his cheek and quickly went to sit on the sofa to go through the files of the three teachers that would being over the next day.


    After going through the files, Jia Li expressed her opinion before leaving the study with Fu Hua to go have lunch with the rest of the family members.


    The next day by 10 AM, the three female Kindergarten teachers that offer home services, were already sitting while drinking tea and eating some snacks.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua spent almost 30 minutes on each teacher before they discussed and picked one of them.? After which a contract was signed at the spot, they discussed about the teaching timetable.


    Jasmine''s new teacher did not have to start teaching that day, as the first thing was to get familiar with the little bun and get introduced to the rest of the Fu family members as Jasmine''s teacher.


    Jasmine''s new teacher has thought a lot of children from wealthy families, but being privileged to teach the little princess of the Fu family, was worth celebrating.


    When Jasmine got introduced to her teacher, she obediently greeted her as her father instructed, but that was it. She refused to her teacher touch her, or get close to her.


    "It looks like we have to spend the first few days of learning with her." Jia Li said when she saw the little girl''s attitude.


    "That''s what it looks like, but I''m sure she will soon get used to it." Fu Hua said with a slight smile.


    Fu Hua seemed to not worry a lot about the matter, but Jia Li was still worried and didn''t fail to speak her fears out.


    "Now I''m beginning to worry about her first day at school. It looks like she will cry a lot if we take her to school and leave her behind."


    "It''s too early to worry about that. We still have 8 months before then. Let''s look on the bright side." Fu Hua encouraged her while hugging her shoulder.


    So the first few days of learning, Jia Li and Fu Hua took turns attending the lecture with their daughter, but on the first day, they appeared together.


    There was a CCTV camera in the learning room arranged for Jasmine''s learning, so no member of the Fu family had to worry about the little girl being bullied by her teacher.


    With time, Jasmine got used to her teacher, and because veryfortable with her to the extent that she would give her some of the choctes and other snacks her Aunties and Uncles gives to her.


    On Valentine''s Day, Jia Li and Fu Hua were not in the country, and this was the first time they were traveling without their little daughter. But because they were worried about her they only spent 3 days away from home.


    FangSu and her boyfriend, Zhang Junjie went on a romantic date, and there, they had their first kiss. It was truly an eye-opener for FangSu to see q guy that will take permission in other to kiss his girlfriend.


    Yes, before Zhang Junjie kissed FangSu, he first took permission from FangSu which first came as a surprise to her, before she felt it was somewhat romantic.


    After they kissed, FangSu smiled shyly and looked away as she licked her lips.


    Zhang Junjie watched her action of licking her lips after the kiss and asked in a low tone, "Do you like it, do you want more?."

 Chapter 495 - Dating Meeting

    <h4>Chapter 495 - Dating Meeting</h4>


    FangSu couldn''t stop fantasizing about her first kiss with Zhang Junjie and his small romantic gestures when she got back home. Her facial expression when she got back home said a lot about her day.


    During dinner, Grandfather Fu nced at his two single grandsons with a deep frown. YingPei and Ling noticed the old man''s gaze on them and they both looked up at him in wonder.


    "Grandfather, did we do something wrong?" YingPei asked in a low tone.


    As the rest of the family members turned to nce at Grandfather Fu, he heaved a sigh and put down his cutlery, before fixing back his gaze on YingPei and Ling.


    "On a day like today, you two stayed at home to y games, do you want to tell me that you don''t have girlfriends?" Grandfather Fu asked with a frown.


    YingPei and Ling nced at each other in surprise, as they wondered when their singlehood started to affect their old man.


    "Grandfather, I don''t have any girlfriend, I''m still focused on developing more games for now." Fu Ling replied politely.


    YingPei''s reply came weirdly. "Grandfather, I''m not interested in any girl." He said but when he saw the weird gazes directed at him, he knew his words were misunderstood, so he hurriedly rephrased them and only then was he able to breathe properly and drink some water.


    "I mean, I haven''t met a girl of my taste."


    "I don''t care what your reasons or excuses are for still being single at this age. Before Hua and Li''s wedding, you have to bring your partners home or I will arrange someone for each of you to date." Grandfather Fu announced to the surprise of everyone.


    YingPei smiled and said in reply, "Grandfather, I would have appreciated your help to find a partner for me if my sister-inw had a junior sister but since this is not the case, you have to patiently wait for me to find the right person."


    Ling also found this opportunity to be beneficial to him, so he also added, "Grandfather, don''t worry too much about me. I will start dating as soon as I lunch my new game."


    "And when is that?" Fu Geming asked with his gaze on him.


    "Next year." Fu Ling replied.


    "You will start dating next year?" Fu ChunHua asked in shock, as he slowly nodded in response.


    "If you n to start dating next year when we just entered into a new year, when do you n to get married?" Fu Hee asked.


    Grandfather Fu looked annoyed as he stopped everyone from talking. He pointed at YingPei and Ling while saying to them, "The two of you should bring the person you are dating to Hua and Li''s wedding as your date and before my birthday next year, you two should be married."


    "What!" YingPei eximed in shock. He wasn''t seeing anyone currently and marriage wasn''t in his mind, so how would he find someone to be his girlfriend and bring her to his brother''s wedding in 2 months? And then get married next year? That looked very impossible to him.


    "After shouting, you will do as you''re told." Fu Hee said.


    "You two are not serious. Do you want to get to Hua''s age before you get married?" Fu Lei asked.


    Grandfather Fu raised his hand and said to them, "There is no need to talk too much about this matter because I have already made conclusions on it."


    YingPei and Ling nced at each other and chose to remain quiet. Right now, what was going through their mind, was on the girl to date out of all thedies they have met.


    They had to make the chosen girls their girlfriends before bringing them to Fu Hua and Jia Li''s wedding, what a lot of work to do.


    When everyone thought that the talk about partners was over, Grandfather Fu nced towards FangSu and Meixu before saying to them...


    "FangSu, bring your boyfriend home. Meixu, don''t give excuses that you are busy building your career and do not have the time to date."


    "SuSu, you are dating?." YingPei asked wide-eyed. He looked surprised to learn that his younger sister was seeing someone.


    Fu Lei looked equally surprised just like YingPei and the rest but he didn''t say anything. Apart from others, it was only Grandfather Fu, Fu Hee and Meixu that knew of FangSu''s rtionship.


    FangSu smiled shyly and happily admitted that she was dating.


    "What is the name of the person you are seeing?" Fu Lei asked with creased brows.


    "Zhang Junjie." FangSu replied with a proud smile.


    If Grandfather Fu was not there, FangSu would not have been so brave replying to her father.


    The name ''Zhang Junjie'' rang a bell in everybody''s ear because it has been mentioned in their family before.


    Fu ChunHua was the first person to recall who Zhang Junjie was. "Is Zhang Junjie not the same person that girl from the Bai family first picked to marry?"


    "Of course, he is the same person. But Bai Jun did that because she knew of the friendship between FangSu and Junjie so she wanted to get revenge by getting married to him."? Fu Meixu exined with a smile.


    "I see, no wonder his name sounded familiar." Fu ChunHua said in understanding.


    After Dinner, FangSu and Meixu began to drag for who will take care of Jasmine at night. Because their arguments were getting louder which looked unhealthy for the little girl that was watching them fight over her, Fu Hee said that Jasmine will spend the night in her bedroom and the was how the case was solved.


    At the end of February, two major events took ce. One, FangSu brought Zhang Junjie to introduce him to her family as instructed by grandfather Fu.


    To Zhang Junjie''s surprise, he was well received which was rare for such a powerful family as the Fu family. Unlike some other powerful families with many family members who would give mixed reactions.


    Apart from Fu Lei and Fu Hua''s stern gaze on him, everything else was fine.


    Seeing how well he was epted by the Fu family both FangSu and Zhang Junjie were excited.

 Chapter 496 - The Huang Familys Search For Answers

    <h4>Chapter 496 - The Huang Family''s Search For Answers</h4>


    Two, the Huang family without the permission of their family''s patriarch, Old Mr. Huang, went in search of their long-lost sister and the rtionship between her and Jia Li.


    Immediately Jia Li''s hometown was found on her profile, the Huang family members decided to make a trip to that ce on their own.


    When Mr. Huang had found out about this, he was infuriated and scolded everyone with threats. Old Mrs. Huang chose not to be quiet this time around and talked back to her heart''s content.


    "I don''t care if you approve of this or not but I''m going to find answers about my daughter, whether you like it or not!"


    It wasn''t easy to locate Jia Li''s hometown since they have never been to that ce before. But with a lot of questions asked to strangers, they finally got to the street Jia Li and her parents lived in.


    For this trip, only Old Mrs. Huang and two of her children went. The first daughter and the second son came with her. Now, the three of them were in one car.


    "I think we are in the right street but the problem is how to locate the particr building as they all look a little simr." The first daughter said with a frown.


    "This is not a big problem, we will just find out the same way we got to this ce." The second son who was sitting in the front passenger seat replied.


    As the driver was slowly driving the car down the street, they met a middle-aged woman who happened to be Mrs. Li, so they stopped the car to ask her for directions.


    "Excuse Ma''am." The second son said to Mrs. Li after their car stopped beside her.


    Mrs. Li looked surprised to see such a shy car stop beside her and she could only see the two people in front, as for the backside of the car, she had no idea if people were there because the ss was tinted and was not wind down.


    "How can I help you?" Mrs. Li asked with a polite smile.


    "Please, can you tell us which one of these houses belongs to the Qin family, we are looking for someone." The second son said with a slight smile.


    When the Qin family was mentioned, Mrs. Li was taken aback and wondered why they were looking for Jia Li''s house but she pointed out the house to them.


    The second son of the Huang family thanked her, before closing the car window. After they drove away, Mrs. Li stood there for a while to stare at the car that had just taken a turn, before walking away.


    Finally, the Huang family found Jia Li''s house. When they had all stepped down from the car and walked towards the door they saw that it was locked and their hopes died down, especially the anxious olddy of the Huang family.


    "Mother, the door is locked and from the look of things, nobody has been here for a long time." The first daughter said with a slight frown after observing the padlock and the dusty door with cobwebs.


    Old Mrs. Huang shook her head and said, "This can not be the end of the road."


    "It looks like that woman we met just now, knows about the Qin family from her facial expression when we asked her for the address. If we knew, we would have asked her for some details." The first daughter said in regret.


    The second son sighed and said, "I had thought about that but it wouldn''t make sense to ask such sensitive questions just like that."


    The driver who drove them down to this ce suddenly grabbed their attention. He called out to them while pointing at the next house beside that one.


    "I hear some soundsing from the building, we can ask the neighbors some questions."


    Seeing this opportunity to know about, they quickly made their way to the door of Jia Li''s neighbor.


    It took a few knocks for a rude familiar woman toe out and open the door. But when she saw the rich-looking people standing in front of her door, she smiled and immediately apologized to them.


    Although the Huang family was irritated by the woman''sck of manners, they ignored it.


    "Do you know anyone by the name, Huang Li who lived in that house?" The first daughter asked as she pointed at Jia Li''s house.


    Jia Li''s neighbor nced at Jia Li''s house and then back at the Huang family with a frown. "No, I don''t know anyone by that name."


    The Huang siblings nced at themselves before the second son spoke up. "What about Qin Li, do you know anyone by that name? She was maybe, a fashion designer."


    The second son had thought that Huang Li had taken up her dream job after escaping from their family, so that''s the reason he phrased his words that way.


    Old Mrs. Huang was so tense while waiting for the woman''s reply.


    Jia Li''s neighbor stared at them in confusion before replying, "I know someone by the name Qin Li who lived there. She iste now but she was a nurse not a fashion designer."


    Old Mrs. Huang clutched her chest and almost fell backward out of shock but was luckily supported by her son and daughter.


    Jia Li''s neighbor was confused with the old woman''s sudden outburst of emotions. She was now beginning to think that she was rted to Jia Li''ste mother.


    Five minutester, the Huang family was sitting in the tiny living room of Jia Li''s neighbor. The space looked cramped but tidy, so it was still better than standing outside.


    The first Huang daughter, showed a picture of her sister, Huang Li to the woman, to see if she knew her.


    "Her face looks familiar but I can''t really tell where I saw her." Jia Li''s neighbor replied with a frown.


    What she has just seen was a picture of Jia Li''s mother before she married, so her face looked a little different, including younger and well taken care of, so she didn''t recognize her.

 Chapter 497 - The Huang Family Visits Mu Keer

    <h4>Chapter 497 - The Huang Family Visits Mu Keer</h4>


    Before embarking on this journey, The second son of the Huang family, got a picture of how ''Huang Li'' should look presently, so he showed the picture to the middle-aged woman.


    "Perhaps, do you know who she is?" He asked.


    When the woman saw the familiar face, she recognized her instantly and said in a surprised gaze, "That''s Qin Li, she worked in ***** hospital as a nurse and she had one child with her husband Mr. Qin, Jia Li, before their death."


    Having found out the truth, the Huang family was a little emotional. Even though she was expecting this, Old Mrs. Huang could not control her tears.


    The woman saw how emotional the woman was when talking about Jia Li''s mother since she came and guessed that there was a rtionship between them, so she asked about it.


    "If I may ask, who are you to the Qin family?"


    "We don''t know the Qin family directly but we are familiar with Qin Li. Please can you tell us how she died?" After giving a vague response, the second son went on to ask the question they have all been curious about.


    Jia Li''s neighbor looked a little lost with the sudden question. It''s not like she didn''t want to tell them the truth but because she felt it was not her ce to talk about how they died.


    "Qin Li and her husband Mr. Qin died in their house. I''m sorry but I can not tell you more than this." Jia Li''s neighbor said with an apologetic smile.


    Old Mrs. Huang did note all this way to go back without full knowledge of what happened to her daughter and what caused her death. She was about to tell the woman that she was the mother of Qin Li and plead with her to tell them everything she knew about her but her daughter who was sitting beside her stopped her by tapping her palm.


    The first daughter of the Huang family nced at the woman before asking her, "Do you happen to have the contact of any member of the Qin family. What of their daughter who you talked about?"


    "Jia Li? I don''t have her contact. She is now married and lives in the big city and I haven''t seen her for close to 2 years now. But there is another member of the Qin family, she is Mr. Qin''s only sibling, Mu Keer and I happen to have her contact." The woman said with a smile.


    The Huang family looked relieved as they immediately asked her to ring her up.


    After a few trials and the number remained unreachable, Jia Li''s neighbor gave up to the disappointment of the Huang family.


    "It looks like she has changed her number again." The woman said with a smile that was not a smile. My Keer usually changes her number every time she owes someone a big amount of money and can not pay up, so sometimes, you cannot reach her because she might have changed her number again.


    "Is there any other way we can reach her?" Old Mrs. Huang asked with a glint of hope in her eyes.


    "Yes, I know her address and will give it to you." The woman said and immediately brought out a book and a pen and began to write the address down.


    Finally, when the addressnded in their hands, they thanked her and left for Mu Keer''s ce.


    Mu Keer was eating melon ???? seeds with her two children while watching a movie from the old Television in their untidy living room when the Huang family knocked on their door.


    Mu Keer was irritated by the knocks and sent her son to open the door. A minuteter, her son came back to tell her that some rich-looking people were looking for her.


    "Mum, some rich-looking people are at the door and one of them said they are looking for you."


    Immediately after Mu Keer heard that the first thing that came to her mind was the identity of the people that came to see her and how she was going to get some money from them.


    "Are you sure of what you are saying?" Mu Keer asked immediately in surprise. As her son nodded in response, she immediately asked him and his sister to clear up the living room as fast as they could before going to wee the visitors.


    There was no way Mu Keer recognized the 4 people standing in front of her door but ording to their attire and jewelry, she could tell they were rich, so she smiled at them and asked them toe without confirming from them if they had actuallye to see her.


    She didn''t introduce herself to them and neither did she ask for theirs before inviting them into her unmaintained house.


    When she directly invited them into her house without the basic formalities, the first daughter and the second son of the Huang family exchanged nces, before following her in.


    This was surely a bad impression no matter what was going to happen next.


    When they came into the cramped living room which was stuffy and still looked untidy no matter how the woman''s young children tried to arrange it within a minute, they were ufortable and would have preferred to stand outside, but what they came for was important, so they had to make do what they saw.


    "Don''t mind my house looking this way, we are poor and can not feed ourselves, so obviously we can not afford a good ce." Mu Keer said with a smile.


    "It''s okay, we will manage." Old Mrs. Huang said as her daughter supported her to sit in the only good chair in the living room.


    As for the man and woman who were too irritated to make do with the ce she showed them to sit, preferred to stand. Their driver also preferred to stand.


    After they had settled down, Mu Keer sent her children away, before fixing a smiling gaze on the Huang family.


    Old Mrs. Huang chose to talk this time around while gesturing with her hands. "I am Huang Li''s mother and these are my children. We learned of her death and came to seek answers."


    "Huang Li?" Mu Keer said with a look of surprise, as she didn''t seem to know who they were talking about.


    Seeing that they didn''t even know her sister-inw''s family name, they guessed that Huang Li must have hidden it from her.


    "Qin Li''s surname is, Huang, so her real name is Huang Li.." The second said in a clear tone.

 Chapter 498 - Mu Keers Revenge

    <h4>Chapter 498 - Mu Keer''s Revenge</h4>


    Mu Keer seemed to have recalled something. She just remembered that her sister-inw once mentioned that she came from the Huang family and hearing the olddy mention that she was from the Huang family and they Huang Li was her daughter, she was shocked.


    Mu Keer was shocked to see that finally, the Huang family her sister-inw once talked about was in her house. And never in her mind would she have known that Huang Li was not from an ordinary family.


    She could tell they were wealthy but couldn''t tell if they were more wealthy than the Fu family that her niece, Jia Li married into.


    Immediately the Huang family stepped into her tiny living space, the scent of her living room changed and was now scenting nice.


    Even if heaven fell, Mu Keer has already sworn that she must collect money from the Huang family.


    "You mean that you are my sister-inw''s family?" Mu Keer asked in a happy tone.


    "Yes." Huang Li''s sister replied.


    "I never knew that she was from this kind of notable family, I mean she ran away from her family and came to live in that small house with my brother." Mu Keer had just said this when she noticed the changes in the facial expression of the Huang family. She knew she had offended them and immediately apologized.


    "I''m sorry, my tongue slipped." Mu Keer said with an ugly smile.


    "We just learned of my sister''s death, how did she die?" Huang Li''s brother asked.


    This particr question was what Mu Keer will never answer anyone no matter how she was threatened. How could she tell people that her husband was the reason her brother and sister-inw died? That was a shameful thing to her and added to the fact that her husband was still locked up in jail.


    Mu Keer saw the curiosity on their faces but still refused to say a word about it. She was not moved even by an inch.


    "I''m sorry but my heart is too soft to talk about the past, especially the death of my brother. I cannot deal with the pains."


    Old Mrs. Huang became desperate and immediately pleaded with her to tell them how her daughter died, but she refused.


    "I''m sorry but I will have to offend you. I can not answer this question." Mu Keer replied and looked away from them.


    Seeing how adamant she was, the Huang family was disappointed once again but this raised their curiosity as to how Huang Li died.


    "We heard that my sister has a child, can you tell us about her?" Huang Li''s sister asked with a firm gaze on Mu Keer.


    Mu Keer took a good look at them and something spark to her. Seeing that Jia Li had a wealthy rtion like the Huang family, which also was her maternal family, the idea to take revenge bloomed in her heart.


    She could tell that the Huang family did not know much about Huang Li after she ran away from home, so any lies she told them, they would have no choice but to believe her since she was the only person they could meet now for answers.


    Mu Keer smiled sheepishly as she said to them, "I think you are mistaken here. Huang Li never had a child for my brother."


    Her words left the Huang family in utter surprise. Jia Li''s neighbor had just confirmed that Jia Li was the daughter of Huang Li and her husband, so they were now confused after hearing another thing.


    Old Mrs. Huang was the one that spoke up at this point. "I thought my daughter had a female child with your brother?"


    Mu Keer smiled a bit and replied, "My brother had a child but your daughter was not the one that gave birth to her. I don''t want to go into details but Huang Li never had a child for my brother but they both raised the baby together."


    Old Mrs. Huang felt that her head was spinning after hearing this.


    ''Don''t tell me that Huang Li ran away from home because of a man that already had a child with another woman or is this Qin woman lying?'' Huang Li''s brother thought with a frown.


    ''Did Huang Li run away from home in order to raise another woman''s child?'' Huang Li''s sister thought with a frown.


    The Huang family couldn''t believe what they just heard and asked again, "Are you sure of what you are saying because someone told us that Huang Li had a child with your brother, who is named Jia Li."


    Even when there was a reason for her to be forced to tell the truth, Mu Keer insisted on her lies.


    "You have to believe me because I am the only person that knows the truth since I saw all of it. The same person that told you that Jia Li is Huang Li''s biological daughter, should have also told you that your daughter ran away from home since they know so much about my family."


    The Huang family were again offended by Mu Keer''s words but this time, she didn''t seem to care about offending them because she aimed to make sure that Jia Li never reconcile with her wealthy maternal family after refusing to take care of them.


    Mu Keer was very tricky. She knew that Huang Li was pregnant before she married her brother and knew the truth about that pregnancy, and now, after discovering that the Huang family didn''t know their daughter was pregnant before eloping with her brother, she decided to use that to her advantage.


    Being the only living person that knew the whole truth surely felt satisfying and now, she could twist the truth however she liked and nobody would know about it.


    Mu Keer already knew that her sister-inw was from the Huang family, which had more money than them but she didn''t know they were this rich until she just met them.. And once she had mentioned to Jia Li in passing that she was not her father''s biological child out of anger after they quarreled because she refused to help her.

 Chapter 499 - Caught In The Act

    <h4>Chapter 499 - Caught In The Act</h4>


    Mu Keer went further to say that Jia Li''s biological mother was still alive and that the two shared the same traits of abandoning their loved ones after making it.


    "Thank you for telling us about this." Old Mrs. Hang said with a painful smile. She was still sad and disappointed at her daughter''s death, and with the new information, Mu Keer revealed to them.


    Mu Keer felt satisfied that her ns has worked, and now, it was time to get money from them.


    "There is no need to thank me. Your daughter was really a special one to my family, and we took good care of her. I know when you first stepped into my house, you were ufortable, but there is nothing I can do as a poor widow who needs to strive in other to put food on the table for my two children, who has long quit school."


    The Huang family was not daft to know that she was indirectly asking them for money. Old Mrs. Huang turned to her son and said, "Give her £¤5,000."


    Mu Keer was shocked that she was going to get that sum of money in one day. 5,000 Yuan was a huge sum of money to her, and since she was born, she has never held that amount of money in her hands all at once.


    When Mu Keer touched the bundle of money that was given to her, she still couldn''t believe it, and due to her shock, she almost forgot to thank the Huang family.


    "Ah... look at me. I''m sorry for my bad manners. As a widow who hasn''t seen £¤500 in a long time, this is a lot of money to me, and I am still shocked by it." Mu Keer said with a big smile.


    "There is no need to be apologetic, and no need to see us out, we can leave by ourselves." Huang Li''s Sister said with a smile that was not a smile.


    "No... I must at least work you to the door, or that will be rude of me." Mu Keer insisted, and they let her walk them to the door.


    Mu Keer couldn''t let go of the money she was given. She still carried it to send the Huang family off.


    Outside the house, Huang Li''s sister breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Finally, I can now breathe fresh air. But mother, why did you give so much money to that woman? Mere looking at her, I don''t think she deserves it."


    "She is the sister-inw of Li, and she is poor, and hopefully, that money will be of great help to her." Old Mrs. Huang said.


    "Mum, do you actually believe what that woman said to us? I still refuse to ept the fact that Huang Li will run away just to be with a man that will cheat on her." Huang Li''s brother said as anger was evident in his tone.


    What he said is right. Mu Keer just told them that Jia Li was not their sister''s biological child, but she raised her with her husband, Mr. Qin.


    Knowing his Sister''s personality, she was not one that will continue to stay with a man that cheated on her and even had a child with another woman after the huge sacrifice she made to be with him.


    Mu Keer told them that Jia Li was raised by Huang Li as a baby, and no matter how one listened or tried to interpret this story, there was surely a loophole.


    "I also do not believe her. I know a bit of psychology, and can tell that she was only after getting money from us, and why would she talk down on her niece in front of an outsider? She wanted us to take pity on her, and give her money. It''s obvious that she is greedy, and a greedy person will do anything to get what he wanted." Huang Li''s sister said.


    Old Mrs. Huang sighed and said to them, "I also do not want to believe all that she told us, but what can we do? There is no other person to give us answers."


    "The answers she gave to us, were not important as knowing how Huang Li died. It seems like this matter is huge, and everybody is trying to hide it from us." Huang Li''s brother said.


    "Look at us, we came all the way here, and after confirming that Li is dead, we forgot to get the address to the graveyard she was buried." Old Mrs. Huang said as she stopped in her steps.


    "That''s true. Brother, you support mum to the car, while I go back to get the address from that woman." Huang Li''s sister said.


    "No problem, go ahead, but don''t take time." Her brother said to her before escorting their aged mother to the car.


    As Huang Li''s sister made her way back to Mu Keer''s house, she could hear her voice from a little distance because she was literally shouting.


    "...Jia Li, this is just the beginning! For how you have ignored me these past years, I will never allow you to meet your mother''s family!!!."


    The first daughter of the Huang family looked shocked to hear this that she paused in her steps. Her legs were now too heavy for her to move them.


    She was still thinking about what she just heard Mu Keer say. ''Did she lie to us? Why?''. After standing at the same spot for a few seconds, she didn''t hear any other words from Mu Keer, as it seemed she just finished talking.


    No matter how confused and angry she was, all she had to do was just to calm down, get the address from Mu Keer and leave. As for the remaining matter, she would investigate it when she goes back to the City.


    Mu Keer was so happy with the money that after swearing to make sure that Jia Li never reunites with her mother''s family, she sat down on the mostfortable chair in their living room and asked her daughter to write a shop list, so they could go to the market to buy them, and amongst all the items she asked her to jot down, there were a few expensive items there.

 Chapter 500 - Learning The Truth Bit By Bit

    <h4>Chapter 500 - Learning The Truth Bit By Bit</h4>


    Mu Keer was still speaking to her daughter when they all heard the knocks on the door. Thinking that her debtors have perceived that she just got money, Mu Keer was afraid to share the money she just got with them, so she gave the bundle of money to her son and asked him to run away with it.


    "Leave through the window ande back five minutester." Mu Keer said to him in a stern tone.


    After making sure her son had left, she went to answer the door only to see Huang Li''s sister standing there with a slight smile on her face.


    Mu Keer felt deep relief that it was not a debtor that came, or thru would have given her house a good search to take anything worth a little money.


    "Please write down the address to the ce my sister was buried." Huang Li''s sister said to her.


    "Oh, pleasee in, I will ask my daughter to write it for you." Mu Keer said with a weing smile. This is someone that just gave her a lot of money, so of course, she would be willing to do that little for her.


    "No, I''m fine with standing here, I will be waiting." The woman said. There was no way she would want to go into that trashy house the second time, and to a woman that lied to them.


    Since she refused toe in, Mu Keer didn''t insist. She went back inside the house and emerged 2 minutester with a piece of paper, and handed it to the woman.


    "Do you need me to follow you, so I can show you the way?." Mu Keer suggested, but how could the woman ept her help, she refused her.


    "Okay. Now that your family is here, I will hand over taking care of that ce to you. I have been the one cleaning that ce as devotion to my brother and his wife. These days, it''s getting difficult for me to climb there myself, since I didn''t have money to take care of my health." Mu Keer said with a smile.


    "You mean sweeping and cleaning the tomb area?." The woman asked in raised brows.


    "Yes. I didn''t have money to call anyone to help me clean up the ce, so I did the job myself. But now that you are here, you can give me a little more money to help find someone that will do the job now." Mu Keer said shamelessly.


    The woman boiled in rage that Mu Keer dared to ask her for more money after lying to them. Clearly, she was a greedy woman.


    Mu Keer was ignorant of her change in emotions and waited for her response.


    "We will see my sister first." The woman said after managing to calm her emotions.


    Mu Keer nodded and allowed her to leave. The reason she had been so confident, was because she knew that Jia Li employed someone to help clean up her parents'' tomb.


    When Huang Li''s sister walked back to the car, her brother said with a frown, "What took you so long?."


    There was a big from on her face as she replied, "You won''t believe that I just heard. That woman had uspletely fooled, and she is a very greedy woman whose appetite for money cannot be satiated."


    "How? What happened?." Old Mrs. Huang asked.


    The woman went on to tell them the exact words she heard from Mu Keer''s lips when she went to find her just now, including her asking for more money.


    "Are you sure you heard her clearly?." Her brother asked with a clear frown. He too was surprised with the turn of events. His question was meant for the part she cursed at Jia Li.


    "Do I look like I have ear troubles?." His sister asked in an annoyed tone. She was still very angry that they gave money to a woman that lied to them without batting an eye.


    "It looks like we have to pay a visit to the Fu Family, but first, we need to go and see Li." Old Mrs. Huang said in a sad tone.


    The Huang family drove to the address Mu Keer gave to them, and they indeed found the public burial ground and went up to that ce.


    Old Mrs. Huang was old and was already tired from the ces they have been to, but she still insisted on going up with them to see her daughter.


    When they had just climbed up, they just saw a woman sweeping a particr tomb, and when they got close, they saw the names written on the tombs she was sweeping, ''Qin Li & Qin ****''


    The woman cleaning that ce up noticed the people behind her and turned around to greet them politely before asking if they came to see Mr. and Mrs. Qin.


    "Yes, we are here to see them. Are you the one taking care of this ce?." Huang Li''s sister asked.


    "Yes, I was employed to take care of their tombs." The cleaningdy replied.


    "If I may ask, who employed you? Was it Mr. Qin''s sister?." Huang Li''s sister asked.


    Immediately she mentioned Mu Keer, the cleaningdy could not hide her disgust.


    "It would have been better if she felt remorseful for her husband''s sins and asked someone to clean up this ce. It was the daughter of Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin that pays me to clean this ce up on her behalf since she married so far away."


    The Huang siblings nced at each other before looking at the cleaningdy as they were surprised and curious as to how Mu Keer''s husband was rted to the death of their sister and her husband.


    "Please, can you tell us how this man is rted to their deaths?." Huang Li''s brother asked.


    The cleaningdy sighed in regret and said to them, "This matter is so delicate that we don''t mention it or talk about it. Just know that Qin Mu Keer''s husband caused their death, and he is paying for his sins in jail."


    Old Lady Huang was so shocked by this new revtion that she staggered, but was firmly held by her two children.


    The cleaningdy took this as a sign to leave, so she bowed to them and walked away.

 Chapter 501 - Jia Li Is Annoyed

    <h4>Chapter 501 - Jia Li Is Annoyed</h4>


    "Mummy, I want chocte." Jasmine said to her mother in a soft tone. Jia Li was getting ready for work when her little daughter came running to her.


    Jia Li who was sitting in front of the mirror and applying powder to her face, said to her, "It''s too early to ask for chocte."


    "But Mommy I want some." Jasmine insisted with a slight frown on her face.


    Jia Li nced at the little girl and said to her with a frown, "I said you can''t have any chocte now!"


    As her mother refused her again, Jasmine started to throw a tantrum. "Mummy! Chocte!"


    Jia Li looked annoyed at her daughter''s spoiled behavior, so she said to her while picking up her nude lipstick, "If you don''t stop crying by the time I finish applying this lipstick on my lips, I''m going to spank your ass."


    Instead of seizing her cries, Jasmine cried the more and sat on the floor while kicking her legs. The little girl was going all out to protest for the choctes she wanted.


    Jia Li did not say anything and continued to apply her lipstick. Being ignored was really painful, especially to the little girl that was seeking attention from her mother.


    Fu Hua who just walked into the room with a tray, frowned when he heard his daughter''s cries. He was already dressed for work but he went down to get some tea for Jia Li and a milk porridge for his little daughter.


    ''Why is Jasmine crying? Is she not with her mother?'' Fu Hua thought with a frown as he put the tray down before walking towards the inner room to find the mother and daughter.


    When Jia Li finished applying her lipstick and Jasmine was still crying, she got up from the stool and dragged the crying little girl up and was ready to spank her ass when Fu Hua opened the door and walked in.


    "What are you doing?" Fu Hua asked with an unbelievable expression on his face as he immediately rushed over and rescued his crying little princess from her angry mother.


    Immediately Jasmine saw her father, she acted as if she has been bullied by her mother and rested her head in her father''s arms and cried out hysterically when he lifted her in his arms.


    Jia Li rolled her eyes at the little girl''s drama and went back to sit on the stool.


    Fu Hua tried to soothe his crying daughter by running his hand on her back before ncing at his annoyed wife to ask, "Did you hit her?"


    "Not yet. I was just about to do that before you walked in." Jia Li replied with her gaze on the mirror. She was busy looking at her makeup to see if it was perfect.


    "Why would you want to hit her, she is still a baby?" Fu Hua asked with a frown.


    "She is not a baby, she is a toddler. She asked for chocte and I said she couldn''t have any now and she started crying. Your daughter is a little stubborn and it is only right to put her in the right ce." Jia Li replied and smacked her lips thereafter.


    Fu Hua couldn''t believe his ears and the woman he was trying to have a conversation with.


    "We are adults and we also act a little stubborn sometimes but most times, there is nobody to put us in the right ce. Please don''t hit her, she is still too young for that."


    Fu Hua believed that since Jasmine didn''t get what she wanted, it was enough punishment for her and hitting her would be out of ce.


    Jia Li was annoyed at the father and daughter. Fu Hua just asked her not to hit their daughter when she did something wrong and this means that she does not have any right to hit her child again.


    "Princess, don''t cry, okay. I will ask grandma to give you some choctester." Fu Hua said to the little girl that was sniffing in his arms, before ncing at his angry wife to say, "I brought you breakfast,e out and eat before it turns cold."


    Jia Li did not respond and only watched the father and daughter leave the dressing room. While waiting for Jia Li toe out, Fu Hua ced the little girl on his thighs and began to feed her breakfast.


    When Jia Li came out from the inner room, she walked past Fu Hua and went towards the door. When Fu Hua noticed that she was leaving without eating, he called her attention to the food.


    "Sweetheart, where are you going to, your breakfast is here."


    Jia Li stopped in her steps and turned around to reply to him, "I''m not hungry" and then she opened the door and walked out, shutting the door behind.


    Jia Li''s annoyance was quite known to Fu Hua. He was aware that she was angry because of what transpired in the dressing room and he would have loved to chase after her but ncing at his little princess who was still anticipating the next spoon of food he was to bring to her mouth, he couldn''t bear to abandon her.


    Since he knew his wife was annoyed with him, Fu Hua called her to his office during lunch break, to have lunch together.


    Jia Li thought he called her to his office for work purposes but when she got to his office and saw the different dishes on his work desk, she knew he had another agenda.


    When Fu Hua saw her, he smiled and asked her toe and sit on the seat ???? that was ced beside him.


    ''Is this his way of apologizing?'' Jia Li thought as she followed his instruction to go and sit beside him.


    After she sat beside him, Fu Hua started by saying, "I guess you were annoyed with me this morning because I asked you not to hit our daughter.. I didn''t scold you but you got angry and abandoned the breakfast I brought for you, so I arranged this lunch for you."

    <h4>Chapter 502 - His Authority Is Challenged</h4>


    Jia Li was about to interrupt when he picked up a piece of braised pork with his chopsticks and sent it into her mouth.


    "Don''t talk and eat your food. Why would you want to hit the child you went through a lot of troubles to give birth to. You should pet our daughter, I''m not asking you not to discipline her but do not to hit her." Fu Hua said.


    Jia Li wanted to say something but how could she do that when Fu Hua used food to stop her from talking?


    After having lunch together, Jia Li went back to her office and after work that day, Fu Hua took her to meet their wedding nner, so they could make their decisions on some items that will be used on their wedding.


    The Huang family left for the City immediately after visiting Huang Li''s grave. And when they came back home, Old Mr. Huang was sitting in the living room waiting tosh at them or probably send them out but thankfully, he was standing alone as the others supported Old Mrs. Huang''s actions.


    When Old Mrs. Huang and her son and daughter came home, Old Mr. Huang stopped them.


    "Where do you think you are going to?" Old Mr. Huang asked in a stern voice.


    "Father, are you not going to ask us how our journey was instead of asking that question?" The First Daughter of the Huang family asked.


    Old Mr. Huang said angrily, "You still have the guts to stand there and ask me questions? I told you and your mother never to return to this ce if you go out to search for that worthless child!"


    Old Mrs. Huang cut him off immediately and said while pointing at him, "Don''t you dare call my child worthless! If you want me to leave this house, then I will leave with my children and grandchildren or you will rewind time and return my youth to me, so I can marry another person than to marry a heartless and wicked man like you!"


    Never in history has the mistress of the Huang family ever spoken this way to the patriarch of the Huang family. In fact, if it was in the past, she wouldn''t dare to do anything to infuriate him, talk more of speaking to him in such a manner but today, she really proved that she was not the same coward that he got married to.


    "Did you say all that to me just now?!" Old Mr. Huang asked with his trembling fingers pointed at her. He was so shocked that the quiet woman he married dared to re up and use such ugly words on him, while in front of the children.


    "Yes, I dare to talk to you that way! You have lost my respect. You don''t act like a human and you are not fit to be the Patriarch of this family! I and my children will go into our rooms and nothing will happen. But if you want to lose everything you are proud of, try and send us out of this house!" Old Mrs. Huang said angrily, to the surprise of everyone present. She was really bold and courageous now and her children loved that about her.


    Without waiting for her husband''s reaction, she turned to her first son and said to him, "Contact the Fu family and help me seek an audience with Old General Fu, tell him the matter is urgent and has something to do with his granddaughter-inw."


    "Yes mother, I will do that right away!" The first son replied and after receiving his response, Old Mrs. Huang''s heart became at ease and she went on to walk away to the anger of her husband.


    Old Mr. Huang was furious at the level of disrespect his wife showed him in front of their children and some of their grandchildren and he was sure that even the servants must have seen and heard all of themotions.


    Never has this man who has been in authority in the whole Huang family and politically ever been insulted like the way his wife just treated him.


    He knew that after today, he wouldn''t have that much right tomand and instruct anyone again and thinking about this made him very angry.


    Also, his wife threatened to leave with his defendants if he asked her to leave the house again and this made him wonder when she developed the authority to challenge him.


    Back at Jia Li''s hometown or rather close to Jia Li''s hometown where Mu Keer was leaving, things were not going so well for her.


    This was someone that was just given a lot of money and should be excited and eating good food with her famil, but that was not the case.


    After the first daughter of the Huang family left Mu Keer''s ce, Mu Keer went inside and asked her daughter for a cup of water so she could drink to calm her never down.


    After drinking the water, she checked the time and saw that 10 minutes has passed but her son was nowhere to be seen, so she sent her daughter to take the list and go to find him. She asked her to take about £¤300 from him to buy the items on the list.


    Two hourster, her daughter and her son were not back yet. She wasn''t that worried about her daughter since she went to the market to buy so much stuff but she was worried about her son who should be home by now with the big sum of money in his hands.


    Mu Keer was restless and kept on pacing up and down her small living room while wondering what was holding her son.


    Some minutester, she got news from her son that the money he ran away with, was snatched from him by some thugs and when he tried to chase after them for the money, he got beaten up.


    Mu Keer was not touched by her son''s story or by the bruises he sustained but all her attention was on the money.


    Mu Keer pushed by the shoulder and asked in a shocked tone, "I''m not interested in all the stories you are telling me, where is the money I gave to you?"

 Chapter 503 - Losing Money

    <h4>Chapter 503 - Losing Money</h4>


    After Mu Keer finally realized that the £¤5,000 the Huang family had just given to her was gone, she beat her son without minding his injuries, then she cried and shouted while sitting on the dirty floor.


    Mu Keer''s son was already in pain because the beating he received from those thugs that snatched the money from him and hitting him again, caused him more pain but not that she cared.


    Real tears came out from Mu Keer''s eyes, as the money that was just taken away from her without her spending even £¤1 from it, was more heartbreaking.


    More troubles came for Mu Keer when her daughter returned with one of her debtors who saw her daughter on the way and when he saw their market list, he was furious that she had up to £¤300 spend when she couldn''t pay back his £¤55, so he followed her home.


    No matter how Mu Keer exined that she didn''t have any money and that the one someone had just given to her was snatched by thieves about 2 hours ago, the man refused to listen and carried their television away.


    Mu Keer had tried to stop him when he was taking their TV because she was only owing him £¤55 and the price of that TV he was taking was worth more than the money she owed him but he said...


    "That is the reason I have to go with the television so that you can pay up fast. But I will only give you 2 weeks before I sell it off and use the money to settle your debts, then the remaining can be given to you if there is any."


    Mu Keer was helpless as the man took their TV and left. Her daughter had thought that her mother and brother were putting up a show in front of their debtor but when she too learned that the money was actually gone and that her brother received those bruises from the people that snatched the money, she wept.


    Mu Keer kept screaming and throwing things around out of pain and frustration but no matter what she does, she would never be able to recover that money.


    Grandfather Fu was on his way back to the Vi after an intense security meeting with the government when the Huang family contacted him through his Butler.


    The conversation was money and Butler Lu was able to ry the contents of the message to Grandfather Fu.


    "Sir, it''s a call from the Huang family. The olddy from the Huang family in ***** City would like to meet you to talk about an important matter which is rted to Miss Jia Li."


    "Li girl?" Grandfather Fu asked in a surprised tone.


    "Yes, Sir." Butler Li replied. Even he was curious as to what the Huang family had to talk about.


    Grandfather Fu was quiet for only a few seconds before saying to his Butler, "I am free this weekend, ask her toe over to the house, our meeting time should be during brunch time."


    "I will do that right away." Butler Lu replied and used the phone to send out a text concerning the meeting venue, the date and the time, after going through the old man''s schedule.


    When Grandfather Fu returned, he didn''t make any noise concerning the call and only asked Fu Hua toe to his Study before dinner time after he returned from work.


    Fu Hua just finished a meeting with his board of directors when he got a call from his old man. His tone didn''t sound urgent, so he thought the matter was not serious and maybe rted to his Wedding ns.


    The only people that know about Fu Hua and Jia Li''s wedding in April, are the Fu family but their extended family was still unaware, to prevent the news from spreading to others.


    Since this was going to be a private wedding, Fu Hua didn''t want anyone to know about it, till two days or a day to the wedding, before he makes the announcement officially.


    Sunny was preparing to start production of thetest FJ''sdy''s handbags ???? after Fu Hua had just approved of them, so she went to inspect the materials for the production with Jia Li and a few of her colleagues.


    Many of them have been to the factory once anding here a second time, was a blessing. The smell of the materials in the factory was strong and unhealthy, so everyone had a mask covering their nose.


    Since Fu Hua and Jia Li came to work together in one car today, they also agreed to leave work at the same time. Fu Hua knew of the raw material inspection today and deliberately worked till that time.


    When their visit was being wrapped up, Fu Hua called Jia Li to check on her and to know the time they would arrive at the office.


    "Miss Sunny said we can leave work from here if we want but if our cars are parked at thepany, we should go back there first." Jia Li informed Fu Hua.


    "Okay, I''ming to pick you up, I will be there in 20 minutes." Fu Hua said while standing up from his seat and picking his jacket while Zimo picked up his work bag.


    "I will be waiting." Jia Li said and went back to join her other colleagues.


    Twenty minutester, Fu Hua arrived when Sunny had just wrapped their visit up. Fu Hua did not just leave immediately with Jia Li, instead, he had a little talk with Sunny and the factory manager before leaving with Jia Li.


    "Do you want me to get you anything?" Fu Hua asked in a gentle tone with his eyes on the road.


    "Nothing, except that I might want to get some cookies for Jasmine." Jia Li said with a smile.


    It wasn''t always that Jia Li buys some goodies for the little girl. Sometimes whening back from work, she would branch at the supermarket to pick a packet of biscuits, cookies or shortbread. The number of times she got her choctes and lollipops was limited because of her tooth.


    "Sure, let''s stop by the supermarket and get her something.." Fu Hua said.

 Chapter 504 - Jasmines Response

    <h4>Chapter 504 - Jasmine''s Response</h4>


    It was truly a happy scenario when Jasmine saw her parents walk in through the door. She immediately ran to hug their legs.


    She first ran to hug her father while calling out in a cute voice, "Daddy!"


    Fu Hua smiled and bent slightly to caress her hair while saying, "Hello, Princess."


    Jasmine smiled and raised her head to look at her father, before moving her gaze to her mother and then running to her side to wee her.


    "Mummy!" Jasmine greeted happily and hugged her legs.


    Jia Li chuckled softly and asked in a happy tone, "How are you, Jasmine?"


    "I''m fine!" Jasmine said and slowly let her legs go. The little girl raised her hands in the air while saying to her mother, "Mummy give me!"


    Jia Li knew what she was talking about since this wasn''t the first time, so she replied, "It''s heavy, you can''t carry it."


    "I can!" The little girl insisted.


    Fu Hua smiled and said, "Just give it to her, she wants to help her mummy out."


    Jia Li took out 2 heavy items from her handbag before passing it to Jasmine who has been asking for it.


    "Thank you!" Jasmine said when her mother handed the handbag to her and she mimicked her by carrying it the same way she used to.


    "This little girl likes carrying things that are bigger than her." Jia Li said as she and Fu Hua followed the little girl.


    "I guess children of her age like doing that." Fu Hua replied. He found his little princess cute with the way she walked with her mother''s handbag in her small arm.


    When the family of 3 got to the steps, Fu Hua had to carry the little girl up the stairs while Jia Li took his work bag from him.


    Finally, the three of them made it to their bedroom. After Fu Hua put the little girl on the bed and walked into the inner room, while she went on to y with the bag.


    "Jasmine, what is this?" Jia Li asked while pointing at the zip of the bag.


    Jasmine nced at what she was pointing at and replied enthusiastically, "It''s a zip!"


    "Good girl. Mummy bought some cookies for you, do you want it?" Jia Li asked as she took the packet of cookies from her handbag and showed it to her.


    Jasmine''s eyes glistened when she saw the goody in her mother''s hand. "Yes!" She said.


    "Do you want me to open it for you, do you want to have some now?" Jia Li asked but the little girl shook her head. She didn''t look like she wanted to eat the cookies now, so Jia Li handed the packet to her.


    "Thank you, mummy!!!" Jasmine said in an excited tone as she took the cookies from her.


    "You''re wee, my baby!" Jia Li said as she hugged her little bun. She only released her after she had left kisses on her cheeks.


    "Do you want to tell mummy what you learned today?" Jia Li asked the little bun whose attention was on the packet of cookies in her hand.


    Jasmine replied without looking at her, "No, I''m tired." Jia Li didn''t know if she shouldugh or cry. How could that little pumpkin say she couldn''t talk about what she learned from her teacher because she was tired. She found her reply funny.


    "Okay, since you are tired, mummy will ask you just two questions, okay?" Jia Li said while gazing at her and making a sign with her fingers.


    "Okay." Jasmine said in agreement and Jia Li went on to point at the colors on the cookies packet and ask her their names.


    Jasmine was misled by her mother who initially said she was only going to ask her two questions and ended up asking her 5 questions, which the little girl answered correctly.


    Fu Hua who went in to freshen up, emerged some minutester to see the twodies having a conversation.


    "I''m going to see grandfather in his study, give her to me, so you can freshen up as well." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    Before Fu Hua could reach Grandfather Fu''s study, YingPei had already snatched the little girl from his arms, so he went into the study alone.


    "Grandfather, you asked me to see you." Fu Hua said as he went to sit in front of the old man who was sitting on his desk with a pair of reading sses.


    Grandfather Fu closed the book he was reading and nced at him.


    "The Huang family from **** city contacted me at noon. Mrs. Huang said she has something to tell me concerning Li girl. I wasn''t that curious about it until I just got a call from the people we asked to monitor Jia Li''s home."


    Since it was a matter concerning his wife, Fu Hua showed deep interest and curiosity. "What did they say?"


    "The Huang family visited Jia Li''s hometown." Grandfather Fu said with a frown.


    "Why would the Huang family visit Jia Li''s hometown, do they have someone there?" Fu Hua asked as he didn''t know the reason the Huang family who didn''t have any connection with them, would visit Jia Li''s hometown unless they have someone there to visit.


    "I think so. The Huang family asked for directions to Jia Li''s house and they visited her neighbor before going to see her Aunt. They spent a little time in these ces, before going to the graveyard to see Jia Li''s parents and dropped a bouquet on her mother''s tomb. Do you think there is a rtionship between the Huang family and Jia Li''s parents?" Grandfather Fu asked with a careful gaze.


    Fu Hua was really surprised to hear all of these. From the actions of the Huang family, it was obvious that there was a rtionship between them and Jia Li''s parents, otherwise, why would they visit their grave?


    "Grandfather, I think there is a rtionship between them but it''s not known to us.. After Jia Li saved your life that time and we came to see you at her hometown, I had someone investigate her family but I didn''t find out any rtionship with the Huang family."

 Chapter 505 - Photo Album

    <h4>Chapter 505 - Photo Album</h4>


    "When I checked the Qin family at that time as well, I didn''t see anything linking them up with the Huang family, although, at that time, I wasn''t able to find out the family Jia Li''s mother was from. Do you think the Huang family is rted to Mrs. Qin?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    "I have no idea. When are you meeting with them?" Fu Hua asked. This whole thing came as a surprise to him and hearing his grandfather talk about this, reminded him of what Mu Keer had said to Jia Li a few years ago.


    "Saturday in the morning. I asked them toe during brunch hours. For now, keep this information away from Li girl, until we find out the purpose of the Huang family''s visit." Grandfather Fu instructed.


    When Fu Hua went back to the bedroom, he saw Jia Li lying there with a wedding magazine in her hands.


    Fu Hua''s mood changed for the better as he went to join her on the bed, "Are you preparing for our wedding?"


    Jia Li smiled and replied, "Why not? I''m looking for the style for my bridesmaids'' dresses. I want them to have a particr style, so I''ve got to make an effort to find the best design for it."


    "You are a fashion designer and you are looking for styles? You can just design something and give it to the stylist to make use of." Fu Hua said as he joined her in looking at the styles on the magazine.


    "I know, I want tobine the style I have with something else. Latest, these dresses will be ready in 2 weeks from the production date." Jia Li replied.


    Fu Hua thought of something and said, "Can I see your childhood photo album?"


    "Why would you be interested in my childhood photo album, are you trying to make fun of me?" Jia Li asked as a slight smile appeared on her face.


    Fu Hua pinched her cheeks and said, "You should be confident in your looks and besides, I have seen a few of them."


    "Who said I''m not confident in my looks? Actually, indeed, I''m not a sort after beauty but I was quite cute as a baby. Wait here, I will get the photo album for you." Jia Li said as she closed the magazine and passed it to him, before jumping off the bed and running into the inner room.


    Fu Hua smiled at her childish acts and said in a low tone, "Why is she so excited to show her baby pictures to me?"


    Jia Li was not very beautiful like the supermodels but she had her own charm. And she even became prettier after she gave birth to Jasmine. Jia Li''s most proud photos were the ones taken when she was a baby because she was chubby and looked more cute then.


    The smile on Fu Hua''s face slowly disappeared when he thought of the possibility of Jia Li''s mother being rted to the Huang family. But he quickly changed his facial expression when Jia Li returned to the bedroom with a big photo album in her hands and with an excited smile on her face.


    "I''m going to show you how cute and calm I was as a baby." Jia Li said as she sat on the bed and opened the first page of the photo album.


    There were four pictures on the first page of the album. Jia Li pointed at the first picture there and said, "My mum was 4 months pregnant here but you wouldn''t know unless you see her bare stomach, at least that''s what she told me."


    "She looks pregnant to me." Fu Hua replied with his gaze on the first picture.


    "How?" Jia Li asked with an interested gaze on him. She really wanted to know how he could tell her mother was pregnant from that picture that didn''t give much information.


    "Because I have gotten someone pregnant before and I lived with her throughout the 10 months pregnancy before she gave birth." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    Jia Li chuckled hard at the way he chose to exin that he knew about the changes in a pregnant woman.


    "I can''t believe you were talking about me." Jia Li said inughter. "Who else, would I be talking about?" Fu Hua asked with a smiling gaze.


    "Let''s look at the second picture. My mum was almost 9 months pregnant here. At that time, she was toozy and couldn''t do anything in the house, so all the work in the house was left to my dad." Jia Li said. Going down the memoryne, brought a smile to her face.


    "Your stomach was bigger here when you were a little past 8 months." Fu Hua pointed out.


    Jia Li hit his finger away and said with a frown, "Are you trying to say that I have a big stomach?"


    "That''s not what I said. Let''s go to the next picture." Fu Hua said.


    The next picture was of Jia Li''s parents carrying her in swaddled clothes. "I was born a few hours before this picture was taken." Jia Li said.


    "You look thin." Fu Hua said and Jia Li replied, "That''s the reason my mum''s stomach wasn''t big during pregnancy but as she breastfed me exclusively for 2 months, I started bing chubby."


    Fu Hua recalled something funny and asked her, "Tell me the truth, how long were you exclusively breastfed?"


    Jia Li looked him in the eyes and said, "Why are you asking?"


    "You look guilty already. You used toin about our daughter drinking breast milk till she was a year old but who knows how long you drank breast milk for." Fu Hua said.


    Jia Li immediately started to defend herself, "Well my case is different. My parents never nned to have another child after me because they only wanted to give me all their love, so my mother fed me breast milk for a long time that I can''t remember."


    Fu Hua took the photo album from her and closed it while asking, "How was your case different from our daughter, you haven''t said anything yet."

 Chapter 506 - Gold Pendant

    <h4>Chapter 506 - Gold Pendant</h4>


    "My parents have already discussed and concluded that they would only have one child, so my mother fed me breast milk for a long time but we are different from my parents. We are not having just one child, we will have moreter, so I was cautious about how long to breastfeed Jasmine." Jia Li said.


    "You keep saying that you took breast milk for a long time, no wonder you remained chubby till adulthood. If Jasmine learns that you were unfair with her food when she was still a baby, she would prosecute you." Fu Hua said as hey on the bed and turned to hug her waist.


    Jia Li felt tickled by his hands and only adjusted her sitting position before replying, "I didn''t treat her unfairly and besides, she sucked my breasts till they lost their original texture. She has to be a little considerate for her younger siblings that wille in the future."


    "Let me see how the texture of your breasts changed." As Fu Hua said this, his hands went behind her back and unhooked her bra speedily, to her great surprise.


    "You naughty man, what are you trying to do, when it''s almost time for dinner." Jia Li said as she hugged her chest.


    Fu Hua took her hands off her chest and replied, "I just want to admire what belongs to me for a bit, is that too much to ask."


    "We were watching my childhood photo album just now, when did you be interested in my boobs?" Jia Li asked as she tried to stop him from unbuttoning her shirt but the struggle was real. She couldn''t overpower him.


    "I have always been interested in it." Fu Hua replied as hepletely unbuttoned her shirt before parting it. When he saw the glory of her bosom, he licked his lips seductively.


    "You are acting creepy." Jia Li said as she adjusted her sitting position. The way he licked his lips seductively, made it look like he was preparing to devour her.


    "Am I?" Fu Hua asked as he quickly brought his lips to her left breast and licked her nipple once, next he moved his face away and watched her nipples be erect.


    Jia Li already knew that she won''t be able to stop him from having what he wanted, so she just asked, "When will this be over?"


    "If you don''t arouse me, I promise to be quick." Fu Hua said with a satisfactory gaze on her.


    Jia Li didn''t trust his words, because he was good at lying especially when it came to having fun with her body. "Don''t forget we can''t be absent during dinner."


    Some minutester, Jia Li who was conscious of the dinner time, was totally lost in passion and it was Fu Hua who stopped before he could take things too far.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua needed a few minutes to recover from their little exchange and to calm their raging hormones down.


    "My nipples are sore because of you." Jia Liined.


    "Did I bite on it too hard? Let me see..." Fu Hua said as he moved her arm away from her breasts before taking a good look at her red nipples.


    Seeing how red they were, he apologized. "I''m sorry, next time I will be gentle."


    After dinner, Jia Li and Fu Hua continued to watch the photo album till the end.


    "...I was born in the same hospital my mum worked in and since I was little, I have been a popr child there, since my mum would take me there during my holidays." Jia Li said after she closed her photo album.


    "What was your mother''s name?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.


    "Her name is Li, Qin Li." Jia Li replied.


    Fu Hua shook his head and said, "I know that her name is Li and Qin is the surname she took after getting married to your father. What was her family name before marriage?"


    Jia Li sighed and said, "I don''t know. My mum refused to talk about her family and neither she nor my dad mentioned it and when my grandfather was alive that time, he too never mentioned it. Her attitude made me think that she was adopted or grew up in the orphanage. But when I found out that she didn''t like talking about the family she came from, I stopped mentioning it to her."


    "It''s okay." Fu Hua said as he hugged her. If it was before, Jia Li would have been in tears if any small memory triggers her to remember her parents but it looked like with each passing year, she got better with her grief.


    "Oh, that''s right, I remembered that my mother left a pendant behind and I have only seen it once in her hands. I found it after she died and brought it back with me." Jia Li said to him.


    "Can I see it?" Fu Hua asked. He never knew that his mother-inw left a pendant behind and Jia Li never mentioned it to him until now and he doubted that his grandfather knew about it.


    He couldn''t me Jia Li if the pendant turns out to be of great importance because he knew she probably thought it was not of much significance, so she just kept it safe without investigating it.


    "Why not, I will go and get it now." Jia Li said as she got up from the bed and took the photo album from the nightstand.


    A few minutester, Jia Li returned with a gold pendant in her hands. "Since I have been with this pendant, I have never opened it, do you know how to open it?" Jia Li asked as she climbed up the bed and passed the pendant to Fu Hua.


    Fu Hua received the gold pendant and observed it. First, he noticed that the pendant was made of 100% gold.. With that, he knew that Jia Li''s mother came from a wealthy family but he didn''t say anything to Jia Li, instead, he continued to find a way to open it.

 Chapter 507 - Her Origin

    <h4>Chapter 507 - Her Origin</h4>


    When Fu Hua opened the pendant, atst, Jia Li was happy and immediately snatched it from him to have a good look.


    "Oh my goodness, this youngdy looks like my mum and is this her mother and sisters?" Jia Li asked in surprise while staring at the picture of the older women and three youngerdies.


    The youngdy sitting in-between the other two youngdies looked very much like Jia Li''s mother and in that picture, she looked like she was 18 years.


    When Fu Hua saw the four women, it was only one that he felt looked familiar, as for the others, he didn''t seem to know who they were.


    The pendant had two sides. The first part was the picture of Huang Li and her three sisters and mother, while the other side had just a picture of Huang Li.


    "Darling, I just remembered something. My mum sent a voice message to me some hours before she died. In that message, she said something about her family but I can''t remember. Oh, wait! I still have the voice note in my phone, let me find it." Jia Li said and immediately reached out for her phone.


    Her fingers worked very fast and quickly, she went to the chat she had with her mother and the voice message was the first thing she saw and so she yed it to Fu Hua''s hearing.


    Jia Li skipped the VN towards thest part where her mother talked about her family.


    "...Jia Li, your father and I love you so much. I want you to know that you are special. If you meet my family one day, it will be fate. Take care of yourself and I..."


    "My mum said it will be fate if I meet her family one day. Darling, I have a strong conviction that this is her family, can you please help me look for them with this pendant, I really want to find them!" Jia Li said with an emotional gaze.


    Finding things out about her mother, made her recall the hurtful past which she didn''t want to remember and now, she really wanted to find her mother''s family and ask them so many questions pertaining to her mother.


    "Are you sure you want to find out about your mother''s family? Finding out about them, would mean you will know about the ugly past and the reason she left home and refused to talk about them. Are you ready to bear the burden of the past?" Fu Hua asked.


    "I don''t know if I can bear the burden of the past, I just want answers to my questions. I need to find my mother''s family." Jia Li said with a frown as the hunger to know more about her mother, possessed her.


    Fu Hua held her arms and said, "I will help you to get information about your mother,but you have to promise that you will prepare your heart and mind to ept whatever past your mother had. You know she had a reason she never mentioned her family to you and I think you should know about it."


    Obviously, Jia Li''s mother never mentioned her family to her because she didn''t want her to worry and transfer anger and hate to them.


    "I will do that but please you have to try your best to find out something about her." Jia Li said in an urgent tone.


    "I promise. Can I take the pendant with me?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her. He already had an intuition of who her mother''s family was but he didn''t want to say anything until he had confirmed his thoughts.


    "You can have it. I need to use the bathroom, I will be back." Jia Li said as she got off the bed in a rush. When she left, Fu Hua continued to explore the pendant, and that was when he found something interesting.


    He was caressing Huang Li''s picture with his thumb when he discovered that the picture could move and so, he took it out only to see ''Huang Li'' name engraved on the pendant.


    ''Huang Li?'' Fu Hua thought as he immediately whipped out his phone from his pocket to check for the Huang family on the. He saw the biography of the Huang family but that wasn''t what he was looking for. He was looking for the family tree, so he could trace the name, ''Huang Li'' on it.


    Since he was aware of the Huang family to look for, he quickly searched for Old Mr. Huang''s name and found it. He saw that he was married to old Mrs. Huang and that they had 5 children.


    Fu Hua clicked on the page for their children and when it opened, he saw the name, ''Huang Li'' on the second role and only a little information was found about her.


    It was written that she was the 2nd daughter of the Huang family, and also the third child of the family, who left home in her early 20s to avoid the marriage her father had arranged for her with the son of a family friend. It was also written that she had never been seen or heard of since that time.


    Fu Hua also saw a rumor about her. A source said that she eloped with the man of heart and had abandoned the marriage her father had set up for her.


    When Fu Hua was trying to search for a picture of ''Huang Li'' Jia Li walked out of the inner room.


    "Sweetheart, can you help me get a ss of pineapple juice?" Fu Hua said to her.


    "Okay, I will check on Jasmine from there." Jia Li said with a smile before leaving without suspecting anything.


    After he had sent his wife away, Fu Hua continued with his investigations and he was lucky to find an old picture of his mother-inw, amongst the old family picture of the Huang family, which was taken more than 24 years ago.

 Chapter 508 - The Huang Family Visits The Fu Family

    <h4>Chapter 508 - The Huang Family Visits The Fu Family</h4>


    Right before Jia Li returned, Fu Hua called Butler Lu through the inte.


    "Is my grandfather still awake?"


    "Old Master just finished a conference meeting now, would you like to have a word with him?" Butler Lu probed.


    "Yes, I will be there in 2 minutes." Fu Hua replied before ending the call. He got off the bed and picked up the gold pendant before walking towards the door in a hurry, only to see Jia Li stepping into the bedroom.


    Jia Li looked surprised to see him at the door, so she asked, "Where are you going to?"


    Fu Hua faked a smile and quickly hid the gold pendant behind him. "I will be back in a minute, I have to confirm a meeting guest list with grandfather."


    Since the matted sounded important and was rted to the old man, Jia Li moved out of the way so he could pass, while saying to him, "Don''t forget toe back quickly, I got your drink for you."


    Fu Hua kissed her on the cheek and said, "I will be back soon." and then he walked past her, leaving her all alone in the bedroom.


    When Grandfather Fu learned from his Butler that his grandson wanted to see him sote at night, he sat on the sofa to wait for him.


    When Fu Hua arrived at the study, he immediately went to sit beside the old man.


    "I heard you wanted to see me." Grandfather Fu said with his gaze on him.


    Fu Hua raised the gold pendant before him and said, "Grandfather, I have found Jia Li''s rtionship with the Huang family."


    "The Huang family is her maternal family?" Grandfather Fu asked with a frown.


    "Yes, grandfather. Jia Li''s mother is the second daughter of the Huang family, Huang Li." Fu Hua said and proceed to open the pendant and show him the pictures there, including the name that was engraved on the pendant.


    "Where did you get this from?" Grandfather Fu asked after studying the pendant.


    "Jia Li. It belonged to her mother, Huang Li. Since her mother died, she has been keeping this safe and didn''t know how to open it and she probably thought it was a fancy, so she didn''t bother to put interest in it." Fu Hua replied.


    Grandfather Fu sighed before looking at Fu Hua to ask, "Does Jia Li know that her mother is from the Huang family?"


    Fu Hua shook his head and replied, "She doesn''t know her mother''s maiden name and she is unaware of the kind of family her mother is from."


    "Your wedding is in a month, a week and a few days from today, you should be careful of what you say to Li girl. The Huang family isplicated, especially the head of the Huang family and letting Li girl know about this before your wedding night destabilizes her." Grandfather Fu said.


    The old man was worried about Jia Li''s emotions because he doubted that she could handle the Huang family, the past and itsplications.


    "But Jia Li begged me to find her mother''s family soon, she really wants to know who they are and the reason her mother left the family." Fu Hua said with creased brows.


    "We do not know the full story, wait till the Huang familye to visit and then we can find out the whole story before we can decide on when to tell Li girl about it." Grandfather Fu advised.


    Fu Hua nodded in understanding before going on to reveal all the information he had about the Huang family, including the reason Huang Li left her family.


    When Fu Hua returned to his bedroom, Jia Li was already fast asleep and his ss of fruit juice was left on the table and covered with something. All Fu Hua did, was to tuck her in before going to keep her pendant in the walk-in closet.


    Fu Hua stayed up for an hour more studying the Huang family and their businesses, before joining Jia Li on the bed.


    On Saturday, a few minutes to brunch hours, the Huang family arrived. Fu Hee was aware that the old man was expecting some important visitors as Butler Lu told her beforehand, so she had the kitchen prepare proper refreshments for them.


    Jia Li was not around on this day. The previous night, Fu Hua had given her some money to take their little girl to the amusement park and to buy whatever they wanted.


    Because of how rowdy the amusement park might be, Fu Meixu who didn''t have any job on Saturday optioned to go with them, along with 2 bodyguards and a servant.


    When Old Mrs. Huang arrived with her four children, Butler Lu, along with a few servants, ushered them to the small room which was open to the small flower garden.


    It was indeed a beautiful ce to hold deep conversations.


    After Fu Hee and Fu ChunHua supervised the servants to serve them the already prepared dishes, Grandfather Fu arrived with his grandson, Fu Hua.


    Old Mrs. Huang and her children stood up to greet the old man. They were happy that he granted an audience with them.


    "General, thank you for granting my request on such short notice." Old Mrs. Huang said with a polite smile.


    "There is no need to thank me, I''m doing this because you mentioned my precious granddaughter-inw." Grandfather Fu replied before introducing Fu Hua to them as Jia Li''s husband.


    The interest of the old man and his grandson encouraged the olddy to speak out.


    "I don''t know if you are aware that I had 5 children but today, I came with 4. The person missing is my second daughter, Huang Li. She left home, actually, she eloped with a man we had no information about at that time.. She refused the marriage her father arranged for her and ran away with the person she loved and since that time, we have never set our eyes on her and my husband was furious about this matter because of the shame it brought to our family, so he ordered us not to mention her name in our family or go to look for her."

 Chapter 509 - Huang Li

    <h4>Chapter 509 - Huang Li</h4>


    "For so many years, we could only think about Huang Li in our hearts since she never contacted us and we didn''t know how to find her, not until we saw your granddaughter-inw on stage, during thestpletion held in December. She looked a little simr to Huang Li and she mentioned the name of her parents as Late Mr. and Mrs. Qin. My first daughter remembered that surname because the man Huang Li eloped with, bore the same surname. This matter reminded us about Huang Li who has been missing for 25 years now, so we decided to look for her, by going to your granddaughter-inw''s hometown..."


    Old Mrs. Huang began to narrate their experiences at Jia Li''s hometown, including the conversations they had with Jia Li''s neighbor and her Aunt.


    Grandfather Fu and Fu Hua couldn''t believe how shameless Mu Keer was and no matter how angry they were, they didn''t interrupt the olddy.


    The Huang family''s first daughter and second son who went to Jia Li''s hometown with their mother also chipped in a few words.


    The first daughter of the Huang family looked vexed when she recounted how she found out that Mu Keer had deceived them with false information, which left them utterly confused.


    Fu Hua was the person that spoke immediately after the Huang''s finished speaking.


    "Jia Li''s Aunt has a big resentment for Jia Li. And the reason is that my wife refused to give her money."


    The second son of the Huang family nodded and said, "Now I can tell the reason that woman would lie to us."


    "Please, this question is important to us, can you tell us how my daughter and her husband died?" Old Mrs. Huang asked with an emotional tone.


    Grandfather Fu sighed and shut his eyes. The memory of Jia Li''s parents'' death was not something anyone would want to remember because it was painful.


    Fu Hua looked more like he didn''t want to talk about it and he was grateful that Jia Li was not present in this meeting, otherwise, it would have been traumatic for her.


    Now, it was clear to the Huang family that their daughter and sister must have died in a cruel way, seeing how the Grandfather and grandson weren''t saying anything.


    "General, please, I''m begging you to tell me how my daughter died. I haven''t seen her for so many years only to learn that she died over 3 years ago." Old Mrs. Huang pleaded.


    "Mr. Fu, please tell us what happened to our sister, I believe we have the right to know. Already, thedy we met at the graveyard told us that Mu Keer''s husband had a hand in her death." The first daughter of the Huang family said and finally, Grandfather Fu decided to speak up.


    "It''s not like we don''t want to say anything but that the past memory is too bitter for us to talk about it at will. If you must know how Huang Li died, I will tell you about it. Jia Li''s parents were killed in their living room when Jia Li was still with us here in this City."


    As Grandfather Fu broke this news to them, Old Mrs. Huang''s eyes welled up in tears, as she couldn''t believe that her daughter had died in such an unexpected way.


    When the second daughter of the Huang family asked how their sister was killed, Fu Hua recounted the incident to them, which caused their hearts to bleed.


    Learning how Mu Keer''s husband caused their sister''s death and the guts she had to lie to them and to also ask them for money, the Huang family suddenly wanted to appear in front of Mu Keer and end her life immediately.


    It took a while for Old Mrs. Huang to be consoled. It wasn''t easy to ept the fact that she was never going to see her daughter again and now that she learned how she had died in such an unjust way, her heart was bleeding.


    After their emotions were stabilized, Fu Hua showed the gold pendant to the Huang family to ask them if they knew about it.


    Old Mrs. Huang wanted to snatch the pendant from him but because she was sitting opposite of him and the couch wasn''t close, she couldn''ty her hands on it.


    "That should belong to Huang Li right, where did you get it from?" Old Mrs. Huang asked emotionally.


    "It now belongs to my wife after her mother left it behind. I think she had hopes of her daughter finding her family again, so she still kept this." Fu Hua revealed.


    Old Mrs. Huang nodded repeatedly before politely asking if she could see it and of course, Fu Hua passed it to her.


    The way Old Mrs. Huang caressed the gold pendant, could tell how important it meant to her. It looked like the Huang family recognized the gold pendant as well.


    The second daughter of the Huang family was the one that spoke.


    "My mother had this pendant customized for each of us on Li''s birthday. Li wanted a picture of us Sisters and our mother together and after taking the pictures, our mother went to the goldsmith to customize this pendant for each of her daughters and our names were engraved on them. I don''t even know where I kept mine but it looks like my sister kept hers in a safe ce for so many years."


    Old Mrs. Huang did not return the pendant to Fu Hua immediately. She continued to caress it as she went down memoryne.


    "General, please can we see any photos of our sister if you have any? We don''t know what she looks like after so many years since she left our family." The first son of the Huang family asked.


    Grandfather Fu tapped his fingers on his thighs and replied, "The pictures that I know of, are in the Qin family''s residence, hanging on the wall of their living room. If you want to see the recent pictures of your sister, I will have to send someone to fetch them."


    "Grandfather, Jia Li has a family photo album here.." Fu Hua replied and immediately all gazes fell on him.

 Chapter 510 - A Great Granddaughters Love

    <h4>Chapter 510 - A Great Granddaughter''s Love</h4>


    After the Huang Family''s request, Fu Hua brought the photo album and passed it to them.


    Fu Hua and Grandfather Fu quietly watched the Huang family get all emotional after seeing Huang Li''s photos.


    "After seeing these photos, I don''t doubt that your wife is truly my daughter''s child." Old Mrs. Huang said as she wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.


    Even if Huang Li turns out not to be the biological mother of Jia Li, Old Mrs. Huang would still ept Jia Li as a Huang because her daughter raised her and took her as her own child.


    "Please when can we meet our sister''s only child?" The second daughter of the Huang family asked.


    Fu Hua looked her straight in the eyes and replied, "Jia Li is still unaware of this matter, she doesn''t know her mother''s full name and which family shees from, so you can''t meet her now."


    "I don''t want my granddaughter-inw to be overwhelmed with emotions during this period, so you can''t meet her now." Grandfather Fu said in support of Fu Hua''s rejection.


    The Huang family members nced at themselves before the Olddy spoke up, "General Fu, please help me to meet my granddaughter soon. No one is going to force her to acknowledge us and rest assured that my husband will not trouble her either. We just want her to know that we are her mother''s family and we are sorry for not putting more effort to search for her in the past."


    "Lady Huang, your intentions are well known to us and we will try out best toe up with a way to break this news to Jia Li but have in mind that she may not want to meet you if she learns of how her mother left the house." Grandfather Fu said.


    "Also, it will not be easy breaking this news to my wife because she doesn''t have a strong heart, so I will only let her know about this when I''m sure she can handle the news." Fu Hua said.


    Fu Hua was worried about Jia Li breaking down emotionally when she learns of her mother''s real story and the reason she left her family and eloped with her father.


    Taking Jia Li''s emotions into consideration, the Huang family agreed to wait till whenever the Fu family informed Jia Li of her mother''s true stories.


    Immediately the Huang family left, Jia Li returned with Jasmine and Fu Meixu.


    "Mummy, I want to go and see Ocean, Avery and Archie." Jasmine said immediately after Jia Li carried her out from the car.


    "After lunch, you can go and see them." Jia Li said as she took her small fingers.


    "But I want to see them soon." Jasmine responded with a frown. At the children''s park, she had seen someone with a dog and they made her remember Ocean and her kids.


    Jia Li nced at the little girl that was in the mood to make trouble and said to her, "Don''t worry, you will see them soon. Let''s go and have lunch first."


    When the mother and daughter were still arguing, Fu Hua came out to wee them back and Fu Meixu quickly disappeared from the scene.


    Fu Hua lifted the little girl in his arms and kissed her chubby cheeks.


    "Princess, what did you buy for me?" Fu Hua asked with a cheerful smile.


    Jasmine smiled and answered while pointing at her mother, "Mummy bought something for you." The little girl looked pleased to announce that.


    "Mummy bought something for me?" Fu Hua asked with a surprised gaze at the little girl in his arms and she nodded in response.


    "Mummy bought something for Daddy but what did little Da Xia buy for Daddy?" Fu Hua asked again with a bright smile.


    The mature father liked to have conversations with his little princess.


    Jasmine was silent for a while before replying thoughtfully, "I picked some cookies, choctes, biscuits for you but mummy paid for them."


    Jasmine''s response was very funny but that was the truth. She picked the things she wanted and her mother paid for them.


    Jia Li who helped the servants to bring out the shop bags from the car booth chuckled softly.


    The little girl was oblivious to her parents''ughter and seemed to recall something and added...


    "I bought a bucket of ice cream for me and great-grandpa, would you like to join us?"


    "No princess, thank you." Fu Hua said and kissed her again before taking her inside the house.


    After Lunch, Jasmine took a short nap, before going to find her great grandfather. She remembered the Ice cream she bought for them and she went to find him, so they could enjoy the Ice cream together.


    Mei took Jasmine to Grandfather Fu''s study with the Ice cream. Outside the door, the little did not wait for Mei to stop pushing the trolley and knock. She was already impatient and pounded the door to the study herself while calling out to her great grandfather.


    Mei was worried that she might hurt her delicate palms from knocking on the strong door but before she could stop her, Butler Lu opened the door from inside and looked surprised to see the little girl there.


    Butler Lu smiled and the little girl and asked, "Do you want to see your great grandfather?"


    "Yes." Jasmine replied with a smile and so, Butler Lu let her and Mei in.


    Jasmine knew that the study was not a ce to make noise, so she was very obedient as she made her way to the old man who immediately smiled when he saw her.


    "Da Xia,e to my side." Grandfather Fu said with a smile as he abandoned his work and gestured to the little girl toe to his side.


    Mei pushed the trolley to the sitting area after bowing in greeting to the old man and next, she went on to serve the Ice Cream.


    When the little girl approached her old man, she ced her hands on his thighs and said to him, "Great-grandpa, I brought Ice Cream for you."


    "Really?" Grandfather Fu asked happily.. Not minding then the Ice cream was not his special preference, he was still happy that his family''s little princess cared for him.

 Chapter 511 - Jia Li Learns Of Her Mothers Past

    <h4>Chapter 511 - Jia Li Learns Of Her Mother''s Past</h4>


    It was such a heartwarming scene to see the old man and the little girl enjoy a te of ice cream together. Jasmine was so attentive that she continued to feed her great grandfather each time she noticed that he wasn''t moving his lips and Grandfather Fu would in turn feed the little girl as well.


    After taking the Ice cream, Grandfather Fu finished a ss of water because of the sugar content in the ice cream he just took, before taking the little girl to the dog kennel because she wanted to see Ocean and her kids.


    When Jia Li learned that her little girl was ying with Ocean and her kids, she sighed and asked Mei to bring her inside after an hour time, so they could go through her sswork together.


    A few dayster, after Fu Hua had spoken to grandfather Fu concerning letting Jia Li know about the Huang family and he allowed him to do so, Fu Hua prepared to tell Jia Li about them.


    After reviewing the take-home work Sunny had given to her in the study, Jia Li left for the bedroom.


    On seeing that Jia Li was not looking tired and this was the weekend, which was the perfect opportunity for her to take care of her emotions before Monday came, he called her toe and sit beside him on the sofa.


    Jia Li noticed his serious gaze and felt that he had an important matter to talk to her about, so she came to sit beside him and asked, "Is everything alright?"


    Fu Hua did not reply to her question and went straight to ask, "Do you remember that you said you can handle the news of your mother''s past?"


    "Have you found news about my mother''s family?" Jia Li asked immediately as she grabbed his hand.


    "Yes, I have. Are you ready to hear her story?" Fu Hua asked with a serious gaze on her.


    "I''m ready!" Jia Li said immediately. She looked impatient and couldn''t wait to learn her mother''s story. As for whether she was ready, that was not an important question to her.


    Fu Hua looked her in the eye before gently releasing his hands from her hold to pick up the gold pendant that was on the table.


    "Your mother''s name is, Huang Li and she is from the Huang family in **** city." Fu Hua revealed.


    "Huang Li? How did you find out her real name?" Jia Li asked with a curious gaze, then Fu Hua proceeded to show her the name engraved on the pendant.


    "I saw this name engraved here and I guessed that was your mother''s name, so I used that to find information about her and truly, she is Huang Li from the Huang family in **** city. The Huang family is wealthy and the amongst the Top 10 wealthiest family in China." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li who looked relieved to finally get information about her mother clutched Fu Hua''s arms and asked him more questions about her mother and the reason she left her family.


    Fu Hua first pointed out the other people in the picture, before going on to tell her about her mother and the Huang family.


    When Jia Li finally learnt the reason her mother left her family, she feels hurt that her mother was treated unjustly by her father.


    Jia Li feels that her mother''s father was a very mean man for him to control his entire family and instruct them on every step to take, including their career path.


    Since Jia Li was yet to acknowledge the Huang family as her maternal family, Fu Hua was careful with the way he addressed them. He didn''t address Old Mrs. Huang as her grandmother.


    "Your mother''s father had a stronghold and authority over all his children and grandchildren, including his wife, until recently when his authority was shaken."


    Fu Hua went on to tell her how her Aunt, Mu Keer tried to deceive the Huang family when they came searching for answers and Jia Li forgets her anger with her mother''s unfair treatment and transfers the anger to her Aunt.


    "Sometimes, I wonder how my father was rted to this kind of woman! They were born from the same parents but they both have very different values and upbringing." Jia Li said in an annoyed tone.


    Fu Hua brought her to his arms and said, "Your Aunt keeps crossing the line and most times, I am tempted to get rid of her."


    "I really wish you can get rid of her. How dare she lie about me not being my mother''s child, what was her aim?" Jia Li asked with a deep frown.


    "It''s obvious that she was trying to get revenge on you after you refused to give her money. She is probably jealous that you are doing so well now but has refused to give you a penny." Fu Hua said.


    Jia Li nced at Fu Hua and said, "Any other move from her and I''m going to send her off."


    "I will surely help you with that when the timees." Fu Hua promised.


    Jia Li heaved a sigh and said in a low tone, "I feel sorry for my mum if I had caused her troubles when I was younger. Hearing her past story, makes me feel pity for her. She didn''t have the choice to make her career choice andter, the same wanted to happen when choosing a partner. If her father had epted my dad, my mum wouldn''t have to suffer emotionally because I''m sure she did."


    "I also feel pity for the entire Huang family. They have lived all their lives under the surveince and instruction of the head of their family. Your mother had freedom when she left because she got to marry the man she loved and had you. But the others didn''t have the freedom because they lived in the Huang family." Fu Hua said.


    "I feel pity for them as well and that is the reason I will never step foot into that family." Jia Li said.


    "You don''t need to step your feet there, nobody will stop you and besides, Mr. Huang does not acknowledge you since you are the daughter of the man he never approved for your mother.." Fu Hua added.

 Chapter 512 - Jia Li Visits The Huang Family

    <h4>Chapter 512 - Jia Li Visits The Huang Family</h4>


    To Fu Hua''s surprise, Jia Li''s reaction was not extreme, she was an emotional person and he thought she would cry when she learned of her mother''s past but she didn''t.


    Jia Li was furious that her mother suffered in a family that was supposed to love and protect her. Since the rest of the Huang family suffered because of the rules of the head of their family, Jia Li didn''t me them, instead, she med Mr. Huang. And to think that he refused to ept her as a member of the Huang family.


    "Who told him I would want to be a member of the family my mum ran away from?" Jia Li said with gritted teeth.


    Fu Hua could tell that Jia Li was angry but if this was not a serious situation, he would haveughed at her because she looked funny when she pouted her lips inint.


    At least, Fu Hua was grateful and rxed that Jia Li''s reaction was extreme.


    "Darling, your grandfather is the kindest old man I''ve met after my dad''s father. He is so good to me. Without him, I''m not sure I would have all of these today." Jia Li said and heaved a sigh of relief.


    Fu Hua cuddled her in bed and said, "My grandfather is your grandfather and even if he didn''t take a quick action in the past, fate would have still brought us together, since I had my eyes on you back then."


    "Grandfather is the best!" Jia Li said with a smile. Anytime she remembered the past and all of Grandfather Fu''s help, she would feel indebted and want to do things for him because of his great help.


    "What about me?" Fu Hua asked with a tint of jealousy in his tone.


    "You''re also the best!!!" Jia Li said to him.


    Fu Hua wanted to ask between him and his grandfather, who came first in her heart but he didn''t want to hear her response, so he didn''t ask.


    "Your grand... I mean, your mum''s mother said she kept all of her things from childhood till the time she left. So if you want to see them, she will show them all to you and let you take the items you would want to keep." Fu Hua revealed.


    Jia Li who was quiet for a while asked, "Since the old man from the Huang family won''t let me step foot into that house, how am I supposed to see my mother''s things? Surely, I wouldn''t see them through pictures right?"


    "Leave that to grandfather to settle." Fu Hua said with a confident smile after thinking about a scene.


    Jia Li sat up immediately Fu Hua mentioned the old man. "Are you saying that grandfather will tackle Mum''s dad?"


    "Yes. We will go with him and when Mr. Hang sees my grandfather, he won''t have the guts to drive him away. I can still settle this matter without involving grandfather but I''m avoiding being disrespectful to an elderly man, who is also rted to you." Fu Hua said.


    Since with Grandfather Fu''s presence, she could step into the Huang vi to take a look at her mother''s belongings, then there was no need to dy the matter. She immediately asked Fu Hua to talk to grandfather Fu about it, before speaking with the Huang family in preparation for their visit.


    When Fu Hua met his grandfather and told him about this matter, Grandfather Fu said, "The Patriarch of the Huang family is stubborn and hot-headed and it will be good if I went with you. When do you want to go?"


    "As soon as possible." Fu Hua replied.


    After speaking with his grandfather, Fu Hua contacted the Huang family and talked about Jia Li''s agreement to see them and when they woulde.


    "I thought we would pick a date when my husband will not be around for her to visit but since you said you will settle it, I can rest assured." Old Mrs. Huang said through the phone.


    She was d that her granddaughter epted to see them after a short while. She since been preparing her mind for the worst but this good news came, so she was happy.


    After the call with Fu Hua, old Mrs. Huang told her children about Jia Li''s nned visit and they felt relieved but she also told them not to let the old stubborn statue in their house know about the visit, so he wouldn''t ruin their ns.


    A few dayster, Jia Li, Fu Hua, Grandfather Fu and Butler Lu left for the Huang family in **** city in their private jet.


    A day before these four embarked on their journey, Grandfather Fu revealed to the family about Jia Li''s mother''s real identity which came as a shock to them.


    Fu Hee and Fu ChunHua who knew the story of how Huang Li left the Huang family, were surprised that she was Jia Li''s mother.


    Jia Li felt the love from the whole family as theyforted her after learning of her mother''s story. It felt great to be surrounded by the people that love you.


    From the Airport, the cars Old Mrs. Huang sent to pick them up, drove them straight to the Huang Vi which was situated in a private area.


    Currently, at the Huang house, Old Mr. Huang just realized that his wife invited some people over without his permission and he was furious about it.


    In the sitting room downstairs, Old Mr. Huang was throwing a fit. His authority has been challenged over and over again and he couldn''t ept that.


    "Since when do you do things without telling me?" Old Mr. Huang asked in a raised tone. Old Mrs. Huang was unmoved by his anger.


    "My guests will be here any moment from now, so you better tune down the tone of your voice to save you from embarrassment." Old Mrs. Huang said and looked away from him.


    Right when Old Mr. Huang was about to re up, Two unfamiliar faces, walked in with a servant of his house.


    Old Mrs. Huang smiled immediately she saw them and went to wee them. After greeting Fu Hua amicably with a handshake, she turned to Jia Li and took her palms in hers while saying.


    "Jia Li, right? I am Mrs. Huang, your mother''s mother!"

 Chapter 513 - The Stubborn Head Of The Huang Family

    <h4>Chapter 513 - The Stubborn Head Of The Huang Family</h4>


    "Whose daughter did you say she is?" Old Mr. Huang asked with a big frown on his face.


    The first daughter smiled and walked over as she replied to her old man, "Father, this is Jia Li. She is Mr. Fu Hua''s wife and she is Huang Li''s daughter."


    Hearing that name, ''Huang Li'' infuriated the old man a lot. To him, his second daughter who ran away from home was the ck sheep of the family and a total disgrace to his prestige, so hearing her name being mentioned, had a way of resetting his brain cells.


    "I told you never to bring that girl to my house, so what is she doing here? Immediately send her away!" Old Mr. Huang said in a raised tone while pointing towards the entrance.


    Jia Li who has heard stories of the Old Mr. Huang still couldn''t believe her eyes after she saw his actions just now. And she concluded in her mind that there was no way she could live with him with that kind of personality she had. She felt her mother did the right thing by running away.


    Fu Hua frowned at the old man''s rudeness and was about to intervene when they all heard the aged male voiceing from the entrance, so they quickly turned their gazes towards the entrance.


    "Mr. Huang, my granddaughter-inw is not someone for you to drive away." Grandfather Fu said as he appeared before them with a smile. Butler Lu was seen walking closely beside him.


    "General Fu?" Old Mr. Huang called out with a frown. He was truly surprised to see the old Major General in his house. He has no idea that he came with them.


    Grandfather Fu did not stop smiling until he got to Jia Li''s side. The rest of the Huang family members who were in the sitting room, greeted the old major General, respectfully.


    "Mr. Huang, you can not throw my grandson and his wife away, at your will. They came to see the memories Huang Li left behind, so allow them to go in." Grandfather Fu said.


    "But this is my house, I can decide who cane in and go out." Old Mr. Huang said.


    Fu Hua''s frown deepened, as Jia Li''s hatred for the old man deepened further.


    Grandfather Fu chuckled softly because he knew that the Patriarch of the Huang family was stubborn and wouldn''t let them do what they wanted in his house.


    "Mr. Huang, you are one stubborn person I know that has refused to change for good. How long do you think you have left on this earth for you to hold grudges for so many years? You are already so awa but you don''t act like an elder. Do you think you can survive for a week if you drive everyone away?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    Old Mr. Huang was annoyed that Grandfather Fu was teaching him. He was a man with so much pride in him, so how could he stand being lectured in front of his family?


    "Old General, I appreciate your lectures but I still can not allow the child of that girl to step foot into my house. I should have burned her things a long time ago if I knew it would result in today''s scenario."


    Grandfather Fu immediately interjected, "Since you haven''t burned them, allow my granddaughter to go and see the memories of herte mother, while we talk about her painful story."


    As Grandfather Fu said that, Old Mrs. Huang asked Jia Li and Fu Hua toe with her to see Huang Li''s things.


    As Jia Li was leaving with Fu Hua and Old Lady Huang, she nced at Grandfather Fu who winked at her.


    "Don''t worry about grandfather, he can deal with that old man." Fu Hua whispered to her ears before squeezing her palms tofort her.


    "Don''t you want to know how your daughter, Huang Li died?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    Old Mr. Huang rolled his eyes and went to sit on the couch. "I''m not interested because I don''t have any daughter with that name."


    Grandfather Fu smiled and went to sit on the same couch as him.


    "Huang Li''s life was cut short. She and her husband, Mr. Qin, were killed in their living room cruelly. How can a member of the Huang family die like that?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    Old Mr. Huang looked vexed at the fact that Huang Li wouldn''t have died like that if she had agreed to marry the person he arranged for her. Grandfather Fu seemed to have guessed his thoughts so he said to him, "Do not think like that. If Huang Li had married the man you had arranged for her back then, it''s possible that she wouldn''t have lived long either because peace of mind increases your life span."


    "I don''t see any meaning in this." Old Mr. Huang said.


    "You can''t see things differently with the same mindset you have. Your daughter, Huang Li raised a good daughter and the first time I saw her, I already had in mind to let her marry my first grandson because I saw the good in her. You may not have known that their marriage was arranged."


    Old Mr. Huang looked shocked to learn that Grandfather Fu had participated in an arranged marriage before.


    ''Why is he speaking against an arranged marriage if he has arranged one for his grandson before?'' He thought with a frown, as he didn''t seem to understand him.


    Grandfather Fu smiled and said, "Fu Hua is the only person I have arranged a marriage for because I saw deeply into his future. I raised him, I knew him inside and out and when I saw Jia Li, I knew they would make a perfect match, so I arranged their marriage against their wishes but today, they are happy together. But you, you arrange marriages based on the benefits you can get from that family, which is the wrong approach."


    "Are you saying that you have more wisdom than me?" Old Mr. Huang asked with a frown. His pride has just been hurt.


    "I didn''t say that. I''m only saying that you used the wrong approach. I arranged my grandson''s marriage for his benefit. Already I knew that any man Jia Li marries will be lucky but because I treated her like my grandchild, I wanted her to be a part of my family. I''m talking too much which is unlike me. Take things easy with your family, we are both very old and don''t have much time on earth.." Grandfather Fu said.

 Chapter 514 - Dog Lover

    <h4>Chapter 514 - Dog Lover</h4>


    Whether Old Mr. Huang agreed to what he said or not, Grandfather Fu was done advising him. At least what grandfather Fu understood from this, is that Old Mr. Huang must have been heartless and hated his daughter to the point that he didn''t want to hear her name. But no matter the level of hatred, he was not so heartless as to order for her things to be thrown out even after he found out that his wife has them locked up in the store.


    On their way back home, Grandfather Fu made this known to Jia Li and Fu Hua. He said that Old Mr. Huang was a stubborn man who had a lot of pride. Even if he was wrong, he would never admit that.


    Just like the death of his daughter, it''s possible that he must be pained at heart but he would never let anyone know about it because he still wanted it to seem that he didn''t care about her, even after death.


    A stubborn man who had a lot of pride and feels that his decisions are right and the best, is always hard to change. Just like right now, Old Mr. Huang was beyond repair and could only be managed like that.


    Jia Li heaved a sigh and said, "At least I feel rest assured that I could see my mother''s things intact. I had no idea that she wanted to be a fashion desigrepai


    "I think you got that talent from her. Don''t feel too bad. We can''t always get what we want. Your mother didn''t get to follow her career path but she got to be with the man she loved, even after death." Fu Hua said.


    Jia Li smiled with tears in her eyes as she rested her head on Fu Hua''s chest.


    Grandfather Fu nced at them and sighed and moved his gaze away. He wanted to live the remaining span of his life without regrets so that when he joined his wife, he would be proud to assure her of how well he took care of their family and brought them together in her absence.


    When they got back home, the rest of the Fu family who has been waiting for their return, felt relieved at their return.


    Jia Li spent some time with them and recounted their visit to the Huang family, including how stubborn her mother''s father was and how he had refused her to step into his house if Grandfather Fu did not intervene.


    After Jia Li carried the little bun that wouldn''t let go of her even for a minute to their bedroom, she told Fu Hua of her intentions to invite the Huang family to their wedding.


    "You don''t need to ask for my permission, you just need to tell me who you would like to invite and their names will be printed on the invitation card." Fu Hua said to her with a smile.


    "Thank you! I will show Jasmine my mum''s photo album while you go have a shower." Jia Li said with a smile.


    Fu Hua kissed her cheeks and the little bun, before taking into the inner room.


    "Jasmine, do you want to see my mum''s photos?" Jia Li asked with a smile as she brought out the old photo album she took from the Huang family and ced it on the bed.


    "Grandma?" Jasmine asked as she came to her side to sit on her thighs.


    Jia Li smiled and held the little girl with one arm. There was enough space for her to sit beside her but she chose to climb into her arms.


    The mother and daughter spent a lot of time going through all the pictures in the photo album and when Fu Hua came out from the inner room dressed in his nightdress, he joined them.


    While Jia Li went to wash up, the father and daughter spent some time together.


    The next weekend, Jasmine dragged her mother out of bed to go and see Ocean and her grown kids.


    "It looks like you have been having a good time with them in my absence." Jia Li said to the little bun as she lifted her to go to the bathroom. She wanted them to at least brush their teeth and wash their faces before going outside the house.


    Thankfully, Winter was over, so it wasn''t that cold outside. Jasmine was truly in a hurry to go and see Ocean because immediately her feet touched the ground, she ran towards the dog kennel while calling out to Ocean, Avery, and Archie.


    When the dogs heard her voice, they started barking. Seeing that the mother and daughter came for the dogs, their caretaker let them out of their cage.


    You need to have seen the way Ocean and her grown kids rushed out of their kennel and ran towards Jia Li and the little bun with excitement.


    A big smile appeared on Jia Li''s face when she saw Ocean and her kids. She hasn''t been spending time with them for a while now but she was happy that her little girl dragged her to go and see them.


    Ocean knew who her true owner was. She first ran to Jia Li to greet her, before circling the little bun who was surrounded by Avery and Archie.


    When Fu Hua who came back from his morning run heard the barks of the dogs, he walked curiously to their kennel only to see the mother and daughter ying with them.


    When his eyes rested on the excited little bun, he smiled and thought to himself, ''She really got that gene from her mother.''


    Fu Hua was referring to her love for dogs.


    In the afternoon of the same day, Jia Li got a call that the dresses for the bridal train were ready, so she went with FangSu to check them out.


    So as not to be seen, they both wore nose masks before going into the mall.. Jia Li''s wedding can not be leaked till she and Fu Hua or the Fu family, released an official statement.

 Chapter 515 - Bridesmaids And Groomsmen

    <h4>Chapter 515 - Bridesmaids And Groomsmen</h4>


    Since FangSu was present, she was able to try on her dress, which fitted her perfectly. When FangSu got into the dress and saw how beautiful it was, she didn''t want to take it off until Jia Li begged her.


    "Sister-inw, you are truly a good fashion designer. You have eyes for good things." FangSu praised Jia Li after she changed back into her dress.


    "Thank you! I think we can leave now. We will stop by at another store to get the special gifts I prepared for my bridal train." Jia Li said with a smile.


    FangSu wasn''t able to tell what gift Jia Li had prepared since it was packaged by the store attendants where she went to pick it up.


    "Can you at least tell me what you prepared for us since you are not ready to give them out?" FangSu begged Jia Li when they got into the car.


    Jia Li didn''t bulge. "You will get to see the gifts after I have packaged them and sent yours to you. For now, you only have to curb your curiosity and that way, you will live longer."


    "What?" FangSu said with a surprised gaze. This was not Jia Li''s speaking style in any way. She was really surprised when she spoke to her that way. She wasn''t annoyed, just surprised.


    Jia Li smiled and changed topics, "Let''s stop by the supermarket to buy some fruits. Jasmine is going to ask me what I bought for her since I refused to take her out with me."


    FangSu thought for a while before saying in agreement, "Fruits, that''s a good idea. She has been eating a lot of sweetstely."


    "And who is the one that has been giving them to her?" Jia Li asked as she spared her a nce.


    FangSu stopped talking and looked out through the window out of guilt.


    It wasn''t easy for FangSu to curb her desires for a few more days before Jia Li sent her the bridesmaid''s package.


    And when she and Meixu got theirs, they immediately tried them on and came to unt them in front of the rest of the family.


    In the Bridesmaid''s package Jia Li sent out to her 4 bridesmaids and 1 chief bridesmaid, it included a pair of shoes, perfume, beauty products, earrings, nes, pouch, the dresses, and a handwritten card.


    When Jia Li''s three friends got their packages they immediately tried on their dresses and called Jia Li on a video to call to show them to her.


    "The dresses are pretty, and thanks for the expensive gifts I would never be able to afford in my lifetime." Chang Chang said in an excited tone.


    "The dresses fit perfectly and need no amendment. But what was more shocking was the gifts included in the box, thanks so much!" Daiyu said with a big smile.


    "Jia Li, we are going to treat you to a nice lunch when wee over a few days to your wedding." DanDan said.


    "Aright, I''m happy that I was able to put smiles on your face through this." Jia Li said with a smile.


    Daiyu pushed DanDan and Chang Chang out of her view before saying to Jia Li, "I''m not going to be jealous because you chose DanDan as your chief bridesmaid, I am already happy that I get to attend the wedding of the trending couple and a wedding of the century. I may find my Mr. Perfect there."


    DanDan and Chang Chang came back to their rightful positions as Jia Li in surprise, "Daiyu, I''m really surprised that you are thinking about dating."


    "Why do you think like that?" Daiyu asked with a frown.


    "You looked like the one that will be thest to date amongst our circle." DanDan said with a low chuckle.


    Daiyu nced at them and asked, "Was I that bad?"


    "You didn''t know? You were always talking about beating up the boys, so we thought you had no affection for them but who knew that you would one day be interested in them." Chang Chang teased.


    Daiyu rolled her eyes at them and said, "Who says I don''t want to have a perfect marriage like Jia Li? I also want to be loved by a man, as have an adorable daughter like Jasmine. Oh! Where is our pretty little girl, where did you hide her?"


    Jia Li chuckled and said, "It''s Jasmine''s nap time, sorry you can''t see her today."


    "It''s such a pity. Anyway, we will see her soon or we wille and take her from you." Chang Chang said.


    DanDan shook her head and said to her, "Don''t you see so many people that are standing guard? Can you defeat all the members of the Fu family in order to steal their little princess away?"


    Jia Li sighed and watched her friends argue about her daughter. Later she had to give them the excuse that she had some other work to do before they stopped arguing and said goodbye to her.


    While Jia Li''s bridesmaids received their packages, Fu Hua also sent out some packages to his groomsmen. A well-tailored suit, a pair of cufflinks, a tie and a pair of shoes.


    It was truly going to be a big private wedding with the expensive gifts the bridesmaids and groomsmen received from the bride and the groom.


    For his groomsmen, Fu Hua picked YingPei, Ling, two of their male cousins and a friend. Fu Hua didn''t have close friends, as they were all his business partners. The only person he could call his friend wasn''t living in China and had toe down to the country for his wedding.


    The long-expected wedding was in 2 weeks and all the preparation for it wasing to a conclusion.


    Today, Jia Li''s wedding dress arrived. The Big Wedding dress designer Fu Hua partnered with, personally came with his team to deliver the dress at the Fu Vi.


    Jia Li was all excited when she heard the news of her wedding dress arrival and I don''t think anyone was happier than she was.

 Chapter 516 - Little Bridesmaids Dress

    <h4>Chapter 516 - Little Bridesmaid''s Dress</h4>


    Fu Hua was at home when the wedding dress arrived but unfortunately for him, he was not allowed to see the dress or see Jia Li in it.


    When he tried to go into the room with them to check the dress out and see how perfectly it fit his wife, his mother pushed him away and said, "Don''t be in a hurry to see your wife in her wedding dress, the wedding day is the perfect day to enjoy her glory."


    Fu Hua couldn''t believe his ears. He was not allowed to see his wife in the wedding dress he designed for her to be sure it fitted perfectly.


    Inside the room, the Fu family female members surrounded Jia Li with smiles on their faces. Seeing her in the beautiful white wedding dress that was in line with her curves and shape, caused a tinge in their hearts.


    Jasmine who was present took a good look at her mother''s dress before asking for hers.


    "Mummy, my dress?" Jasmine asked in her cute voice as she looked up with a slight frown and her palms spread out in demand.


    Fu Hee and Jia Li chuckled softly with a hand over their mouth.


    "It looks like Da Xia is jealous and wants to bask in the same glory as her mother." Fu ChunHua said with a smile.


    "Da Xia, this is your dress, would you like to try it on?" FangSu asked the little girl while showing her little bride''s dress to her.


    "Yeah!!!" Jasmine shrieked in excitement as she ran to FangSu to try out her dress.


    A few minutester, the little bun stood side by side with her mother, in her little bride''s outfit. She looked really cute in that dress. And in order not to stain the white dress, Jia Li asked FangSu to take it off after 5 minutes but that''s exactly when hell came.


    When Jasmine wanted to be stubborn, she could be very annoying. After 5 minutes was up and FangSu called her so she could take off her dress, she refused and move backward, while saying, ''No''


    "Da Xia, you have to take off your dress or it will be dirty." Fu Hee said to the little girl that wouldn''t even budge.


    "No!" Jasmine said and went to stand in front of the mirror to admire herself.


    Fu ChunHua sighed and said, "I think we have to leave her for a few more minutes. She really loves her dChunHu


    ncing at her little daughter who was staring at herself in the mirror happily, Jia Li smiled and let her be. All she just had to do was to keep her eyes on her, so she wouldn''t dirty or pluck out the stones and fancies on her dress.


    After changing out of her wedding dress, Fu Hee opened the door and the wedding dress was handed over to theirundry servants for cleaning. As for the little bun, she still had her dress on and recused to take it off.


    When Fu Hua saw his little princess in the outfit, he was full of smiles and immediately went to lift her and throw her in the air.


    Jasmine giggled happily while letting her father throw her up in the air. Her adorable voice was heard around the hallway, as she seemed overly excited.


    Later, Fu Hua got the little bun to take off her dress before giving it to theundry to clean. Currently, Fu Hua was trying to dress the little girl up.


    "Did you pee in your diaper?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.


    "No." Jasmine replied.


    "Are you sure? How about you let Daddy check for you?" Fu Hua asked and the little bun nodded in agreement.


    After checking her diaper to ensure she hasn''t wet it yet, Fu Hua proceeded to help her back to her home outfit.


    Jia Li who was sitting on the bed and replying to her Emails would sometimes nce at the father and daughter with a smile.


    "Our reception outfits will be here in 2 days." Fu Hua notified Jia Li.


    "That''s a perfecting. Mother said that I will have to move out a week to our wedding to be taken care of." Jia Li revealed as she put her phone aside.


    Fu Hua frowned and asked, "Why do you have to move out to be taken care of, can''t it be done here?"


    Jia Li smiled and got off the bed, and said as she made her way towards him, "Actually, the main reason is to hide me away from you."


    "A week is too long, I am going to ask her about it." Fu Hua said as he ced the little girl in her arms before walking off with a frown.


    Jia Li nced at the tightly shut doors before looking at her daughter who had a teddy bear in her hands.


    "Jasmine, it looks like your father is annoyed. Anyways, it''s time for your activities, let''s go and y with the building blocks." Jia Li said as she carried the little bun on the right side of her waist and left their bedroom.


    In her yroom, Jia Li ced her on the rug and went on to bring out her building blocks in different colors.


    Immediately Jasmine saw them, she ced her teddy bear aside and said in an excited tone while pointing at them, "Mummy, I want the pink one."


    Since she has said the color she wanted to y with, Jia Li had to y dumb just to ascertain that she really didn''t know what a pink color looked like.


    Jia Li looked confused as she asked the little girl, "Jasmine, which one is the pink one?" Without wasting time, Jasmine stretched her short arm to pick up a pink building block and showed it to her mother.


    "This one!"


    "Good girl!" Jia Li said with a smile as she kissed her cheeks, before putting away the remaining colors of the building blocks that were not pink.


    Fu Hua who went to find his mother went back to the bedroom in disappointment.. He said a week was too much not to see his wife but his mother gave him some reasons it wasn''t much.

 Chapter 517 - What Are Your Intentions?

    <h4>Chapter 517 - What Are Your Intentions?</h4>


    A week before the wedding, all the female family members moved out of the Fu vi and went to live in Jia Li and Fu Hua''s duplex which has already been cleaned up by the servants.


    Before leaving for thest day of work before her wedding, Jia Li packed her bags by herself before leaving the Fu mansion. Her mother-inw had already told her that she would bring her bags along to the ce, so she didn''t have to carry them to work.


    Thinking that they would not see each other till 6 dayster, Jia Li gave Fu Hua a deep hug and smooched him all over his face before leaving for work.


    During the lunch break, Jia Li gave out her wedding invitation cards to her colleagues she had a close rtionship with and they were shocked that she was having a wedding.


    "Wtf! I thought you were married! I mean, I thought you have already done a wedding." One of them said in shock while staring at Jia Li.


    "I am surprised as well with this invitation but I am happy for you," Linda said with a smile.


    "Yes JL, we are super happy for you. At least you are inviting us to such a high-profile wedding we may never get to attend." Another one said with a smile.


    "But why do I not hear anyone talking about this big wedding? I mean, this is not a small asion and it should upy the headlines and billboards for a month!" One of the males said with a proud smile.


    Jia Li seemed to have recalled something and she immediately said to them, "Please, don''t tell the outsiders about the wedding, I will officially announce it a day before wedding, I don''t want too much attention."


    "Oh! JL, you are too humble for my liking. If I were to be in your shoes, nobody will rest, I will make sure to stress the whole world." One of thedies said while making big gestures.


    Linda smiled and replied, "That is why you are not JL." and the others chuckled heartily.


    "Thanks to this wedding, I can finally show my good fashion sense out to the world." Another female said with a wink.


    "JL, you have to make sure the media attention is on us, cause I have to show off the dress I made."


    "JL, you have to introduce me to any handsome single brother out there..."


    Just like that, Jia Li''s colleague''s started bugging them about her wedding but she was patient to listen to them rant about her big day.


    It was really fun listening to her colleagues talk about how they would prepare for the wedding, like the bags and shoes they would order and where to get their hair and makeups done.


    Since Mari¨¦''s ugly act online, she has not been associating much with the others but she was still as audacious as she was. Right now, she was not with them because she was still working on something in the office.


    Jia Li did not need to give Sunny an invite because Fu Hua would do that himself. After work, Fu Hua kidnapped her forcefully in the underground park and asked Zimo to send her car back home, while he took her out for dinner.


    "You really have your way in all things. I just told you that mother was preparing dinner for me but you still did what you wanted." Jia Li said with a sigh.


    Fu Hua smiled and said, "Don''t you want to spend an evening with your husband? Thinking about how I''m going to sleep alone on that big bed for 6 more times makes me want to go crazy."


    "You just have to wait for 6 days, it''s not long." Jia Li said.


    It was just 6 days of not being in each other''s arms and she didn''t think it was that far. Besides, it''s not like he would be alone in the house, there are male family members to keep himpany at home.


    "You just said that 6 days is not long? Have you ever missed me before?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.


    "Of course, when you go on business trips and I feel your absence because you have left for some days." Jia Li replied immediately.


    She indeed used to miss him when he went on business trips that would take him longer than 3 days.


    Without knowing that her reply has given Fu Hua an idea, she smiled and looked through the window.


    "Since you only miss me when I go on business trips, I have to get your attention now." Fu Hua muttered under his breath.


    Fu Hua took Jia Li to a fancy restaurant to have an expensive and delicious dinner over a bottle of wine.


    Jia Li didn''t want to eat too much so she would still have space in her stomach to eat the food her mother-inw had specially prepared for her but Fu Hua had other ns. Since his mother stopped him from seeing Jia Li in her wedding dress and also living together with her, he wanted to get back at her, so he made sure Jia Li finished half bottle of the red wine he ordered, then for the food, he made sure she ate a lot and only stopped when he saw the small bulge on her stomach.


    A satisfied smile yed on Fu Hua''s lips after his ns worked out. Jia Li looked a little tipsy now and she felt that her head was spinning.


    "Do you want to rest in a room before I send you back, Jasmine and the rest can''t see you in this state?" Fu Hua asked with an evil smile. He seemed to be enjoying the result of his ns.


    "You knew very well that my state will be this embarrassing, yet you forced me to finish half bottle of wine plus so many dishes." Jia Li said as she massaged her temples with her fingers.


    Fu Hua smiled devilishly and leaned in to whisper to her, "Don''t you want to know what my intentions are?"


    Jia Li leaned away from him and asked, "What are your intentions?"


    "Don''t worry, you will find out soon. Let''s get a room first.." Fu Hua replied with a smirk.

 Chapter 518 - Lovebirds

    <h4>Chapter 518 - Lovebirds</h4>


    (WARNING: An iing short hot scene of about 300 words. Don''t read if you can''t handle it)


    The tipsy Jia Li was carried into a hotel room by her wolf husband who wanted to devour her by all means.


    After cing her on the bed, Fu Hua took off his wristwatch, cufflinks, suit and tie, before quickly unbuttoning his shirt.


    A few minutester, Fu Hua was done undressing and was already taking off Jia Li''s dress.


    "What are you doing?" Jia Li asked with a frown as she weakly hit his hands away from her body. She was tipsy and a little drunk, so she didn''t have the energy to fight him.


    "What do you think I''m doing, how about you tell me about it?" Fu Hua said as he pinched her jaw before leaning in to capture her lips hungrily.


    The kiss came unexpectedly for Jia Li who didn''t even know that she was already stacked naked before him. She tried to push him away when he pushed his tongue into her mouth but she was too weak to do that.


    As their tongue danced around each other, Fu Hua lifted his right hand to press her left breast, while his other hand caressed her back.


    Jia Li moaned in-between kisses with her eyes closed while wrapping her hands around his neck.


    From her lips, Fu Hua trailed hot kisses to her neck, shoulder, back to her neck and then traced it down to her cleavage, before stopping in-between her breasts.


    When he was ready to enter her, he positioned himself on top of her and went back to kiss her lips for a few more seconds, before lifting her legs from under her thighs.


    "I''m not on any form of contraceptives, I don''t want to get pregnant so soon, do you have a condom?" Jia Li asked with watery eyes. She was too heated up to look at him properly.


    Fu Hua almost wanted to curse out. He had not prepared any condom as he thought she was still on contraceptives and now mentioning it at the heat of the moment, he really wanted to know what her intentions were.


    If he didn''t get her drunk by himself, he would have thought that this was her n to ruin his ns.


    "I don''t have a condom. I think this is your safe day but if it is not, I will take responsibility if you get pregnant." And with that, he entered into her immediately without waiting for her to reply.


    Jia Li let out a loud moan as he entered her and began to move at a low pace. The pleasure was too much for her to handle, given how wet she was.


    She had wanted to tell him she was not on about him being responsible if she got pregnant because he would have no choice but to be responsible. She was worried because she was not ready to have another child. Jasmine was a handful and having another child means that she had to take a pot of days off work to take care of the child as she did with Jasmine.


    Three hourster, Fu Hua arrived at his and Jia Li''s home. It was already past 9 pm when he arrived. He would have loved to spend the night with her but his mother may not allow him to see his bride even at the altar, so he had to bring her back.


    And besides, before leaving for the hotel, he had turned off their phones so nobody would be able to contact them and until now, their phones were still off.


    Fu Hee was so angry as she paced up and down with her phone in hand. She has been trying to reach Jia Li and Fu Hua since Zimo brought Jia Li''s car back but it has been impossible.


    Zimo had already told her that the couple was together but she was still worried.


    "Where in the world did he take her to? Does he n to unt my orders now?" Fu Hee asked angrily.


    Fu Meixu who sat on the couch while eating some grapes said to her in a worry less tone, "Aunty, you know that cousin Hua would like to spend more time with Jia Li since he wouldn''t get a chance like this till after the wedding."


    "Still, isn''t he taking this too far? I prepared all of Jia Li''s favorite for lunch to mark off the date for the self-care but he chose to steal her today." Fu Hee ranted.


    "Mum, it looks like you have forgotten how lovebirds act. Surely, your wedding and honeymoon phase has been long past, so you don''t understand anymore. But I suggest that you meet dad for somefort." FangSu said with a yful smile that almostnded her in trouble.


    "What?" Fu Hee asked as she stared at FangSu furiously. If something tangible was close by, she would throw it at her.


    The mother and daughter were interrupted by heavy footstepsing towards the living room.


    Fu Hua appeared before them with Jia Li in his arms. His facial expression was cold but that of Fu Hee was colder.


    She didn''t care if he was pretending to be unmoved that he brought Jia Li back homete as she was angrier than his pretense or seriousness.


    "Lovebirds." FangSu said in a low tone as she directed a smile towards her brother.


    Fu Meixu couldn''t hide the sweet smile on her face as she gazed at the couple.


    Fu Hee took steps towards Fu Hua, so she could take a good look at Jia Li who was sleeping in his arms. When she got close enough, she fixed her gaze on Jia Li and studied her to make sure she was okay.


    Just as she was about to move her gaze away, she noticed the red spots on her neck and a visible frown appeared on her face.


    It looked like she recognized what those marks were because she suddenly shot a re at Fu Hua and pointed a finger at him.


    "What did you do to her?" She asked.


    Fu Hua adjusted the sleeping woman in his arms and replied, "We drank and we spent time together." Fu Hua said thest part while sparing a nce at his mother.


    FangSu and Meixu nced at each other and smile mischievously. Just by looking at Fu Hee''s gaze that was mixed with shock and anger, sweetened their hearts.


    Fu Hee just stood there and watched her son walk past her with his wife in his arms.. She had a lot of words to say to him but they were stuck in her throat.

 Chapter 519 - Teased

    <h4>Chapter 519 - Teased</h4>


    Fu Hua helped Jia Li to change into her nightdress since he already helped her to bathe after their entanglement at the hotel. After helping her into her nightdress, he tucked her in and left after kissing her on the lips gently and kissing his sleeping daughter''s forehead.


    "Brother, goodnight," FangSu said happily as she waved to Fu Hua when he got into his car. FangSu was proud of her big brother for annoying their mother to a great extent.


    Well, it''s not like he hasn''t been like that since childhood.


    When Fu Hua left, Fu Hee went to check up on Jia Li by herself and after she was clear that she was okay, she left.


    She ordered the kitchen to prepare a hangover soup for Jia Li early tomorrow morning, so she wouldn''t have a bad morning.


    Fu Hee''s anger was because the marks Fu Hua left on Jia Li''s body may take time to disappear as they have a wedding in a few days. She was worried that there wouldn''t be enough time for the marks to fade.


    The next morning, Jia Li woke up with a banging head, and a weak body. If Jasmine hadn''t woken her up, she would have loved to continue sleeping till noon.


    The first thing Jia Li did after she sat up, was to massage her temples before hugging her little bun to her chest.


    "Jasmine, your dad is horrible." Jia Li said in a tired voice.


    "What''s horrible?." Jasmine asked with a smile. Jia Li did not dare to say the meaning of what she just called her father, as she would not like the little girl to learn such words now.


    "Forget it." Jia Li said as she rxed her head on the headboard and closed her eyes tiredly.


    Jasmineid her head on her chest and closed her eyes while tapping her arms with her fingers. She was mimicking her mother.


    Remembering the events ofst night, Jia Li''s eyes immediately shot open when she recalled that she wasn''t on any contraceptives beforest night''s event.


    "Damm!!!." Jia Li said before gently pushing Jasmine off her body. She nced at the nightstand and saw a bowl of soup that was ced there. She guessed it was a hangover soup, but that was not her interest now.


    She opened the drawer on the nightstand in search of some sort of miracle contraceptive pills, but she didn''t find any, which made her think of fainting.


    The little bun who sat by herself on the bed, had her gaze on her mother as she was curious to know what she was going on about.


    You know what saved Jia Li''s ass, Fu Hua came up to the room with the pills he had the doctor prescribe for her.


    Since Jia Li was not on any contraceptives before their entanglement, an emergency contraceptive would be the best for her situation.


    After taking the pills, Jia Li drank her soup and rested her head on the headboard before asking with her gaze on Fu Hua, "Who allowed you toe up here?."


    "Are you not happy to see your husband after a passionate night?." Fu Hua asked with a smile as Jasmine who sat on his thighs, yed with his shirt buttons.


    It felt like Jia Li just had a joke. "Should I be happy to see the person that almost banged my nuts out?."


    "What!" Fu Hua mouthed in shock and immediately covered Jasmine''s ears. "We have a child here." Fu Hua reminded her.


    "As if..." Jia Li said and looked away in annoyance.


    Fu Hua smiled at her. He knew she was annoyed, so he didn''t want to argue further with her, and besides, this was not a good time to look for her trouble as their wedding was in 5 days.


    How did Fu Hua get upstairs with Fu Hee sitting in the living room? Just know that he didn''t find it easying up there.


    At first, Fu Hee did not allow him to climb the stairs, but she only relented when she heard his shameless threat.


    "I bought an emergency contraceptive pill for Jia Li. If you dy me and she ends up with a big stomach in a few months, she wouldn''te after me, because you would be the one at fault."


    Fu Hee found his words embarrassing because he said that in front of some servants, so she had no choice but to allow him to go upstairs.


    Fu Hua did not waste time there. He only apanied the mother and daughter to wash up and change into a new set of clothes before leaving.


    Even without anyone inviting him to breakfast, he would have still made himself at home, but he had an appointment to catch up at the office, so he had to leave.


    At the breakfast table, FangSu who was sitting beside Jia Li noticed the red dots on her neck area and said while touching them, "My brother is so active on the bed! He must find you so irresistible!."


    Jia Li and Fu ChuHua choked on their food, while Fu Meixu chuckled with a hand over her mouth. Fu Hee looked furious as she asked FangSu to shut her mouth.


    One thing was clear to Jia Li, everybody knew what happened between her and Fu Hua the previous night, and that caused her to be so embarrassed that she felt like disappearing.


    Jia Li almost finished a ss of water before she continued eating with her head lowered. How could she dare to meet anyone''s gaze after her shameless husband caused her to be embarrassed before his family?


    After breakfast, Fu Hee gave everyone the day''s schedule. She had wanted Jia Li to get some rest, but she figured out that she might need a massage more than ever, so she arranged for the people at the beauty parlor toe over and give them premium treatment. Even Jasmine got to enjoy a massage and slept off from there with a baby ss of orange juice by her side.


    Mei had to carry the little girl back to the bedroom to get quality sleep after her massage section ended.

 Chapter 520 - Cant Dress Like This

    <h4>Chapter 520 - Can''t Dress Like This</h4>


    The next day, they all went to the spa to get their facials done. Three days before the wedding, Jia Li''s friends arrived with gifts. The house was big enough to amodate them, so Fu Hee didn''t let them stay in the hotel.


    It was truly fun with all thesedies in one house. They chatted, did exercises (yoga) together, got their facials and massages done and enjoyed the food prepared by a 5-star chef everyday.


    Jia Li as the bride was of course given a premium treatment and what was funny was the little bun trying to copy her mother in anything she did.


    A day to the wedding was the bridal shower. FangSu suggested going to a club or throwing a party in one of the ces she normally frequented but the eye roll from her mother was enough to stop her from continuing to bring up that suggestion.


    Jia Li smiled and said she has already prepared for the Bridal shower to take ce in the house, as partying was not part of her lifestyle and she wasn''tfortable with it.


    Jia Li was the bride and got to decide what she wanted since she wasn''tfortable with a lot of things but there was something she couldn''t decide and that was her outfit for the house party after the interior decorators left.


    It looks like FangSu and Meixu were prepared beforehand. Since they couldn''t drag Jia Li out to party with them, they forced her to put on a sexy outfit.


    When Jia Li saw the ridiculous outfit on her bed, she picked it up and gazed at it with a big frown on her face.


    "You mean you want me to put this on?" Jia Li asked as she nced between the Fu sisters.


    "Why not? Don''t be shy and besides, we are alldies and the servants are all females as well, so rx." Fu Meixu said with a wink.


    "Rx?" Jia Li said after her. "This outfit doesn''t seem rxing andfortable and it is too crazy to be a dress. I can''t wear this what will mother think?"


    FangSu snatched the outfit from her and raised it so she could have a better view. "I can''t believe you are worried about my mother''s opinion. Don''t you know that she wouldn''t say anything if you choose to wear it? She knows your taste, so she doesn''t allow us to force you to do anything you are notfortable with. But today is an exception, you only have to put it on for a few hours before we change into our customized silky night dresses."


    Jia Li was quiet as she nced at the dress one more time and that made it seem to FangSu and Meixu that she was seriously considering it but to their surprise, she shook her head in disbelief and wanted to walk past them.


    How could FangSu and Meixu let her waste their effort and convincing power? They both exchanged nces before holding Jia Li in each arm and then dragging her inside the walk-in closet while ignoring her protests.


    After a few minutes of struggle, Jia Li was ushered out of the inner roompletely dressed in the ridiculous outfit.


    "Stop touching the dress, it looks beautiful on you." Meixu said as she studied her figure.


    Jia Li nced at her and asked, "It does? But why do I feel otherwise?"


    "Don''t tell me my brother doesn''t let you wear clothes like this?" FangSu asked with her gaze on her.


    "I don''t like wearing clothes like this because it attracts a lot of attention to me because of my figure. But he has given me an outfit close to this before." Jia Li said with a frown as her gaze rested on her chest area which was exposed.


    The dress Jia Li was putting on, was short, it exposed her back and had V-neck. For someone busty like her, the outfit had a lot of impact on seduction.


    When Fu Hee saw Jia Li in that dress she was surprised at first but when she saw FangSu and Meixu walking beside her, she didn''t need to ask questions to rify that they were behind it.


    Fu Hee thought that Jia Li was ufortable in that dress because she kept touching her chest and pulling the hem of her dress, so she walked to her side and asked, "Are youfortable? If you are not, you can go and change out of..."


    "Mum, don''t ruin our ns." FangSu said before pulling Jia Li to leave.


    When Jia Li''s friends saw her in the dress, their mouth was wide agape in shock.


    "Girl, you are looking hot." DanDan said.


    Chang Chang blinked her eyes repeatedly before saying, "You look like you are ready to charm people."


    When Jasmine saw her mother, the little girl didn''t quite understand what was going on but Jia Li felt guilty with her looking at her that way. This was a first for the little girl.


    "Jasmine, remember that you can''t dress like this in future." Jia Li said to the little bun with a helpless smile. Jasmine nodded obediently and looked away.


    Who knows if she understood the instruction that was given to her.


    The party started soon and Jasmine was present. And with her presence, no ridiculous thing would happen but one can not stop the girls from being naughty, so what the grandmother could do for the little bun, was to ce a headset to cover her ears with it.


    The music was not loud and was turned down to a moderate volume and what the little bun could hear, were songs from Disney cartoons and other baby songs from her headset.


    Later, Fu Hee and Fu ChunHua carried the little bun away because the ways of the young people was surely different from theirs.


    Because the next day was the wedding, the girls couldn''t drink too much. Jia Li didn''t taste any alcohol apart from one ss of Champagne that was used for toasting.


    Jia Li was grateful that there were some snacks and food they could help themselves with apart from the cake and drinks.

 Chapter 521 - YingPei And Lings Plan

    <h4>Chapter 521 - YingPei And Ling''s n</h4>


    In the Fu House, things were going differently. Fu Hua, YingPei and Ling had just returned home after going out to party. It was a bachelorette party Fu Hua''s friend that juste back to the country, threw for him.


    The party was fun and as if knowing his friend very well, he (Fu Hua''s friend) did not invite anydies to the party.


    Fu Hua, YingPei and Ling came back in time for dinner.


    As the male family members were sitting at the dinner table and enjoying their supper, Grandfather Fu paused with eating and held his chopsticks ???? in his hands and fixed his gaze on YingPei and Ling.


    "Have you two found your partners?" He asked.


    YingPei paused with the food in his mouth for two seconds before continuing to eat. His heartbeats had already increased by a few times with that question from his grandfather.


    Fu Ling was no better. How could he reply to his grandfather when he totally forgot the instruction he gave out the other time because he was carried away with work?


    Fu Lei and Fu Geming nced at their sons with interest. They were also interested to know if they had finally found a partner.


    Seeing as they were not attempting to answer his question, Grandfather Fu cleared his throat and put his chopsticks down with a little noise.


    YingPei and Fu Ling flinched and immediately stopped eating to look at him. Knowing that the truth could not save them at this hour, they both chorused a lie tactically.


    "Yes, grandfather!"


    Grandfather Fu moved his gaze from YingPei to Ling, and then to YingPei before picking up his chopsticks.


    "Bring them to me after the wedding reception." He said and resumed eating.


    YingPei and Ling nced at each other but couldn''t continue eating as if nothing just happened. They totally forgot about their grandfather''s instructions and didn''t make any effort to woo a woman.


    The two Fu brothers lost their appetite but they had to force themselves to eat a few more spoons of food before leaving the dinner table.


    Fu Hua knew that his brother and cousin just lied to the old man but there was nothing he could do to help them, as he believed they could sort themselves out.


    After YingPei and Ling left the dinner table, they met in the hallway to ask each other the same question that had been in their mind since their old man asked about their partners.


    "Do you have a woman to bring to the wedding tomorrow?" YingPei asked with creased brows.


    "I was about to ask you the same question. I don''t have anybody to bring because I totally forgot about it." Ling replied in a frustrated tone.


    "I didn''t ask any girl out. I don''t hang out much as I used to do before and there is nody that I have a close rtionship with." YingPei said with a sigh.


    "So, what are we going to do? Grandfather will surely be mad at us if we don''t show him our partners." Fu Ling said with a frown.


    The truth is that both of them are not ready to settle down. One was still busy building hispany, while the other one was only thinking about living his single life for some time.


    YingPei was quiet for a while before saying, "You have a female assistant and she is single. Why don''t you ask her to act out a y with you, I mean she can pretend to be your girlfriend just for tomorrow."


    Fu Ling didn''t like that idea so he countered it. "I don''t want to have that kind of rtionship with my worker, that image is not going to look good."


    "Are you still thinking about your image? At least, there is a solution for you. I can''t ask a colleague at work to pretend to be my girlfriend, my brother will kill me first." YingPei said.


    "It''s good that you know not to cross the line." Fu Hua said as he walked towards them. He managed to hear a little of their discussion on his way to his bedroom.


    "Brother...." YingPei said with a pretentious smile. He didn''t know how much of their discussion he heard but it''s good he didn''t say anything wrong.


    Fu Hua stopped in his steps when he got to their side, then he nced at Fu Ling before looking at YingPei.


    "Do you think you can deceive grandfather? Get ready to date any woman you bring to him." After saying this to them, he was about to walk away when he remembered something. He fixed his gaze on YingPei and said, "Jia Li has 3 friends, you can choose one of them to date. If you don''t handle things properly, I will cut off your fingers."


    ''My fingers?'' YingPei muttered to himself in horror as he nced at his precious fingers.


    After Fu Hua had left, YingPei and Ling talked for a short while before leaving for their various bedrooms.


    Now that they have seen they are not left with many choices, they have to be serious.


    Fu Ling checked the time and saw it was already past 8 pm. It waste but he still found his secretary''s contact and phoned her.


    Immediately she answered the call, he didn''t wait for her greetings and immediately said to her, "I want you to be my partner for my cousin''s wedding tomorrow."


    Thinking that it was just the normal role she always ys during business meetings, she readily agreed to it. Fu Ling knew what she was thinking but he didn''t rify the situation. If he told her the truth now, she may be tense and may refuse him.


    "Send me your measurements and address, I will send your outfit early tomorrow morning." Fu Ling said to her.


    After making the arrangements on his side, Fu Ling could finally shut his eyes to sleep. As for YingPei, he wasn''t close to any of Jia Li''s friends and what he was thinking was who he would ask out. Since this has something to do with his sister-inw, he had to be very serious.


    YingPei has interacted a little with Jia Li''s friends during Jasmine''s first birthday party but he wasn''t that close with them.. Asking one of them out is going to be weird but it''s not like he had another option.

 Chapter 522 - Bride And Groom

    <h4>Chapter 522 - Bride And Groom</h4>


    After taking some pictures in her bridal nightdress, Jia Li sent the girls out of her bedroom so she could get some sleep early and wake up on time for her big day which is on the next day.


    The feeling of being a bride was true happiness. Jia Li was all smiles as she turned off the lights and got under the duvet. She has never experienced this before and for that, she was beyond happy.


    At first, given the circumstances that surrounded her and Fu Hua getting together, Jia Li never thought about having a wedding but as the rtionship between them became better, she began to look forward to this day and atst, it came.


    Jia Li nced at her ring finger that was empty with a smile. The ring Fu Hua had put on her finger on the day they signed their marriage certificate was not there. Fu Hua personally took it off 2 days ago when he sneakily came to see her.


    He had taken her fingers in his hand and said to her while taking off the ring, "I didn''t get this ring myself and when I put it on you, I haven''t given my heart to you. But now that we are about to have a fresh start, old things have to make room for the new ones.


    When Jia Li remembered Fu Hua''s statement, she smiled happily before heaving a sigh of relief.


    ''Fu Hua, I''m really looking forward to a new beginning with you and our family." Jia Li said with her gaze on her ring finger.


    After fantasizing about the big day, especially the exchange of rings, Jia Liid on the bed and rested her head on the pillow and right when she was about to shut her eyes, her phone started to ring.


    Jasmine was sleeping beside her and as she was worried about the little bun waking up due to her phone ringing so loud, Jia Li immediately picked up her phone to answer the call and without ncing at the caller ID.


    "How are you?"


    When Jia Li heard the familiar deep sexy voice from the other end of the phone, instinctively, her lips curved in a smile.


    "I''m good and you?" She asked as she yed with the ropes of her nightdress. She was d to hear his voice right before she couldy her head to rest.


    "I''m fine. How was your day? I learned from mother in the day that you were going to have a bridal shower, so how was it?" Fu Hua asked in a gentle tone as a smile yed on his lips.


    "Mmm... it was great, I had tons of fun." Jia Li said.


    "How is Jasmine?" Fu Hua asked. There was no way he wouldn''t ask about his daughter he hasn''t seen in a long while. He missed his little princess as much as he missed her mother.


    Jia Li nced at the little bun that was sleeping soundly and replied, "She is good, she is sleeping now."


    "Now I know why your tone is so gentle." Fu Hua said immediately. "I missed you, so I called. Did you miss me too?"


    Jia Li''s cheeks turned to a deep shade of red when he asked that question. They have been together for almost 3 years, yet, she still gets shy when he made certain gestures or said some words under a certain atmosphere. "I missed you."


    "Tomorrow, is our big day and I know that you may be a little nervous, so I called to talk about anything you want to. You can be my examiner and I will be your candidate." Fu Hua said to her.


    It was normal for most brides to be nervous about their big day for various reasons. One, it may be aboutst-minute tasks, important guest or their partners or even about the event itself. It was such an important day in their lives, so they are overly nervous about the event going smoothly without a glitch.


    "Honestly, I am indeed a little nervous. I don''t know what to talk about, so let''s start from how your day went."


    From there, Jia Li and Fu Hua brought up interesting and funny topics one after the other to talk about until it was past 11 pm.


    Since it waste and they had a big day ahead of them, Fu Hua had to conclude their chat.


    "I can''t wait to see you in the wedding gown tomorrow, I hope you have a good night." Fu Hua said and made some kissing sounds in the background.


    Jia Li smiled and bid him goodnight before keeping her phone aside andying her head on the pillow with her face towards the ceiling. There was a big satisfied smile sitting on her face as she thought back to the little conversation she heard with Fu Hua.


    Remembering how long, exciting and tiring the next day was going to be, Jia Li had to close her eyes and force herself to sleep, even when she was not feeling sleepy.


    Trying to sleep was not an easy task for the Bride and the Groom. They were each having simr thoughts about their day.


    Finally, an hour or 2 hourster, Jia Li and Fu Hua fell asleep while thinking about each other.


    The next morning, Jia Li was woken up by the little bun who climbed on her body when she woke up from sleep.


    The little bun ced her head on her mother''s chest before moving her short arm on her stomach with her eyes closed.


    "Jasmine, why did you wake up so early?" Jia Li had just asked when it just came to her mind that today was actually her day.


    As Jia Li carried the little bun off her body to give her kisses on her cheeks, Jasmine greeted her, ''good morning'' in a sluggish tone before rubbing her eyes.


    Just then, Jia Li heard a ding sound from her phone and when she picked up her phone to check it, she saw a text from Fu Hua which started with, ''Hello, beautiful....''

 Chapter 523 - The Morning Of The D-Day

    <h4>Chapter 523 - The Morning Of The D-Day</h4>


    After reading the text, Jia Li was all smiles as she returned one to him, before carrying the little bun off the bed so they could brush their teeth and have their bath.


    Immediately Jasmine''s feet touched the floor, Fu Hee knocked on the door and walked in with the stylists and a few of the servants that will help to get the Bride and the little bride ready.


    "Good morning, Mother." Jia Li greeted Fu Hee with a smile as the stylist and other attendants bowed slightly to her in greeting.


    "Good morning, I hope you slept well?" Fu Hee asked as she touched her jaw with a big smile. The morning was good, and the day was going to be even more beautiful.


    Jia Li nodded in response before the little bun came to the limelight. She greeted her grandmother in her adorable little voice, and Fu Hee couldn''t get over her cuteness and lifted her in her arms before nting a kiss on her cheeks.


    With the help of the stylists and other attendants, Jia Li and Jasmine were progressing a lot with their dressing. But the little bun was a little stubborn when her hair was being styled. She kept pushing the hands of the attendants off her hair.


    "Is it painful?" Jia Li asked in concern. Jasmine nodded in response with a frown on her face.


    "Ma''am, what are we going to do?" One of the attendants asked in a panic. There was no way she could touch the little bun''s hair with her refusing and shouting. The little girl had to be willing before she touches her hair again, otherwise, it would seem like she was bullying her.


    "I will coax her, while you continue with your work." Jia Li said to her.


    Jasmine was not deliberately acting stubborn today. Her hair hurt, so she had to react that way. But thankfully, she managed to stay calm after her mother chose another hairstyle for her, and coerced her into staying at a ce.


    After Jasmine got ready, she was ced on the bed, and her toy was given to her, so she. would be busy with something, and not y around.


    After bathing, the little bun was fed some food by Fu ChunHua, before she got dressed, so right now, she was satisfied, as she yed with her teddy bear.


    On Fu Hua''s end, things were going very smoothly. A male stylist came over early in the morning to help him with his looks before leaving. The wedding suit wasn''t thatplicated, but very stylish.


    As a Fashion Designer, definitely, Fu Hua wouldn''t wear a normal suit. Even on normal days, his fashion senses were very high, and so on his wedding day, he also has to stand out more.


    The style of his wedding suit lookedplicated to theyman, but in fact, it was very simple to put on, notwithstanding how stylish it was.


    After getting dressed, Fu Hua nced at himself in the mirror before a smile appeared on his face, to show that he was indeed satisfied with his looks.


    It was still too early to leave for Church, so he went back to his bedroom to sit on the couch with hai phone in hand. He was going to officially announce his wedding to Jia Li today.


    On all his social media ounts, Fu Hua made the same post. ''Finally, I will be able to give you the perfect wedding that you deserve today. Happy married life to us, Sweetheart''


    Immediately after posting that on his story, status and timeline, he logged out and proceeded to dial Jia Li''s number.


    This time around, it took a while for Jia Li to answer because her hair makeup was being applied on her face. It was only when the makeup artist told gave her permission to answer the call that she was able to pick up her phone.


    "Am I disturbing, what are you doing now?" Fu Hua asked in a gentle tone.


    Jia Li smiled and said, "My makeup is being done now."


    "Oh, I will call backter then." Fu Hua said and wanted to end the call, but Jia Li stopped him.


    "Are you dressed?" She asked in a soft tone.


    "Yes. I''m waiting for the right toe to pick you up, so I can, atst, see you in that dress and bask in your glory." Fu Hua said.


    Fu Hua has been going on and on about seeing her in her wedding dress, and finally, in about 3 hours, he will be able to his bride in that white gown he has never seen her in.


    Jia Li blushed before changing the topic. "Jasmine is here, do you want to speak to her?"


    "My Princess is there, give the phone to her." Fu Hua said in a cheerful tone. He was more than happy to speak to his little princess.


    Jia Li handed the phone to Mei, who in turn passed it to the little bun sitting on the bed. "Jasmine, it''s daddy, say hello to him." Jia Li said to the little bun, and immediately, her eyes lit up. She pushed her teddy bear on one side, before taking the phone from Mei.


    "Hello, Daddy!" Jasmine said in an excited tone.


    It was a heartwarming scene to see the little bun speaking happily to her father. Jasmine didn''t know a lot of words, but she tried hard tomunicate with her father.


    Soon, FangSu, Meixu, DanDan, Chang Chang, and Daiyu came to see Jia Li. They were happy and made a lot of noise whileing into the room.


    Jia Li was teased, and some pictures were taken with her and the little bun.


    Atst, when they were ready to leave, the DanDan handed the bouquet ???? to Jia Li. Thankfully, a small one was prepared for Jasmine, who almost snatched the bouquet from her mother.


    Immediately the small bouquet got into her hands, she smiled happily and touched the flowers with her tiny fingers.


    "Jasmine, don''t pull the flowers, do you hear me?" Jia Li warned with a serious look on her face, and the little girl nodded in understanding.

 Chapter 524 - Charm Radiating At A High Level

    <h4>Chapter 524 - Charm Radiating At A High Level</h4>


    Shortly before Jia Li and the rest left the bedroom, a servant came to announce the arrival of the groom and his groomsmen, so Fu Hee immediately covered Jia Li''s face with her veil, before she was led out.


    Fu ChunHua walked ahead of them with the little bun in her arms and immediately they got down from the stair, they saw Fu Hua standing there with a big smile.


    Jasmine recognized her father and she was too excited to see him. She immediately called out to him before running over with her arms spread out as the rest watched with smiles.


    Fu Hua was afraid the little bun may trip and fall, so he immediately walked over and lifted her in his arms. He threw her up and caught her before reigning praises on her and kissing her plump cheeks.


    Jasmine hugged her father and refused to let go. She was ready to hold a conversation with him but this was not the right time for it. Her mother who was supposed to be the center of attention was gradually making her way down the stairs.


    Fu Hua kissed his little princess on forehead and handed her to YingPei immediately after he caught sight of Jia Li, who was dressed in a magnificent wedding dress and her face was covered with a big veil.


    All of Fu Hua''s attention was now on his bride as he abandoned his little princess.


    Fu Hua was mesmerized by all the glory surrounding Jia Li. He really couldn''t see her face but he believed that her looks and aura right now as befitting for a Queen, ruling her kingdom.


    The photographers invited, began to take quick shots as they captured Fu Hua''s reaction on seeing his bride make her way down the stairs.


    There was a beautiful smile on Jia Li''s face when she saw Fu Hua''s reaction. But because of the veil covering her face, no one could see it.


    Fu Hua did not wait for Jia Li to get to the bottom of the stairs before going to meet her. He immediately walked over and took her hand from his mother as a smile yed on his lips.


    The photographers managed to capture this moment from different angles. And the videographer was not left out.


    It was such a beautiful scene for the bridesmaids to be behind the bride on the stairs when the Groom took the Bride''s hand.


    "You look gorgeous!" Fu Hua said to Jia Li and the hearing of those at a close range.


    Jia Li blushed and replied, "Thank you."


    Seeing her parents together, Jasmine felt like going to separate them but somehow in her little mind, she agreed to go along with the perfect picture.


    After taking some photos, Jia Li and Fu Hua got into the car specially arranged for them, while the bridesmaids and the groomsmen got into different cars. Fu Hee and Fu ChunHua got into one car as well and they all left in a convoy as their security and bodyguards drove in front and behind for security measures.


    At the Fu house, Grandfather Fu and his sons had already left for the church, while the servants were putting together some things.


    At Jia Li and Fu Hua''s house, the servants there were also making some arrangements. Thetest couple will be spending their wedding night here, so they had to arrange their bedroom and decorate it before theye home.


    In the car, Fu Hua could not keep his eyes off Jia Li to the extent that she had to react.


    "Why are you staring at me?" Jia Li asked with a smile without meeting his eyes. At this moment, she was shy and didn''t know how to meet his eyes with him staring at her that way.


    "Because you are beautiful. Your charm is radiating at a high level and that makes it difficult for me to take my eyes off you." Fu Hua replied with his eyes on her. There was this smile on his face that looked as if he just won a lottery. Yes, Jia Li is the lottery he was lucky enough to win.


    Jia Li couldn''t help chuckling softly with the praises he just rained on her. He was making her blush really hard. "Can you stop making me blush, I might ruin my makeup."


    Fu Hua leaned in and whispered to her ear, "If you let me see your face, I might agree to your request."


    "What!" Jia Li eximed in surprise as she looked at his face. "You can''t see me until we say our vows. We have only a few hours before that."


    Fu Hua sighed and said, "If we didn''t have a wedding today, I may have stayed at home to ravish you."


    As Fu Hua said that, the driver raised the shield to separate them. Now, he can''t be distracted by what they were saying and doing.


    Jia Li was a little bit embarrassed because of Fu Hua''s action. She really wanted to hide right now but there was no ce to hide.


    Fu Hua was just teasing her and he liked her facial expression each time he teased her. Today was a special day in their lives, so he decided to retire from teasing her.


    Jia Li sighed in relief after Fu Hua didn''t continue to tease her again. In order to make her more rxed, Fu Hua talked about other things to make her calm.


    "Do you know how our little girl is holding up there?" Fu Hua asked.


    Jasmine was not in the same car with them because if she was present, she would not allow her parents to have a good time together.


    "I''m sure she is doing pretty fine. She is with her godmothers." Jia Li said with a happy look.


    Jasmine was currently with her 3 godmothers. When she wanted to join the same car as her parents and YingPei refused to let her, she also kicked up a fuss but luckily, Daiyu came to take her from YingPei''s hands.


    Surprisingly, Jasmine stopped crying and allowed her to hold her.. Maybe, she felt safe in Daiyu''s arms or the fact that she would have let anybody take her from her uncle''s arms at that point.

 Chapter 525 - Walking Down The Aisle

    <h4>Chapter 525 - Walking Down The Aisle</h4>


    FLASHBACK...


    (Jasmine crying in YingPei''s arms after he shut the door to her parents'' car)


    Daiyu, DanDan and Chang Chang saw this happen. Daiyu decided to go over and take Jasmine from YingPei.


    "Are you not afraid of going to meet him?" Chang Chang asked with raised brows. She meant that YingPei was the brother to the Cold CEO and it would need some nerves to walk up to him and ask to take Jasmine away.


    "Is he not a human being like me, why would I be scared to go over?" Daiyu asked with a frown. To her, going to ask YingPei for Jasmine was not a big deal. If the little bun wasn''t crying, she wouldn''t have bothered.


    "Aiyo! I forgot that you are not afraid of anybody." DanDan said and she and Chang Chang watched her go over to YingPei to take Jasmine from him.


    When Daiyu came over to YingPei''s side, she smiled and said, "She is crying a lot, can you give her to me?"


    YingPei nced at the crying girl in his arms before looking at Daiyu to ask, "Are you sure about that?"


    "I''m her godmother and she is a little familiar with me, there is no harm in trying." Daiyu replied with a smile.


    Since there was no harm in trying, YingPei handed the little bun to her, who immediately agreed to go with her.


    Some minutester, Daiyu and DanDan were in the backseat of a car ying with Jasmine, while Chang Chang sat in the front side of the car with the driver.


    "Can you at least let me touch her fingers?" This was Chang Chang''s 5th time begging Daiyu to let her touch Jasmine.


    "No way!" Daiyu refused.


    Chang Chang felt frustrated and asked with a big frown, "How long will you continue to be stingy? Until we get to the church or the wedding reception?"


    Daiyu shrugged her shoulders before putting her full attention on the little bun that was ying with her bouquet.


    A whileter, they all arrived at the church. Because it was a few minutes to service time, there was no dy with the Fu family members entering the church building.


    Because of the kind of wedding they wanted, not many people were invited to the church, but the rest of the extended Fu family members were present. And just at Jia Li''s request, some of the Huang family members were present.


    When the wedding song started ying and it was time for Jia Li to make her way in, the eldest son of the Huang family came to her side and linked arms with her.


    "It is my honor to walk you down the aisle." He said with a smile. Jia Li smiled at him and although he couldn''t see her facial expression, he could see her expression that she was more than happy for this.


    When the instrumentalists started to y the song, ''Herees the bride, herees the bride'' Jia Li and her maternal uncle walked down the aisle in slow steps until they made it to the altar where Fu Hua was waiting for her.


    When her uncle handed her over to Fu Hua, Jia Li blushed and refused to make eye contact with Fu Hua, who couldn''t hide his happiness.


    After preaching to them, the priests let them exchange their wedding rings and say their vows to each other.


    Both Jia Li and Fu Hua prepared personal vows for each other and said it out there without the help of a book. There was no need to write anything down, as their vows were well stored in their head.


    When the priest said, ''I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss your bride'' there were ps and cheers from everyone.


    Fu Hua took the veil off Jia Li''s face and a big smile appeared on his face. He mouthed, ''You are beautiful'' while holding her shoulders before he leaned in to kiss her lips softly.


    The kisssted 10 seconds before Fu Hua let her lips go and embraced her in a hug, while the photographers snapped away. There was a beautiful smile on Jia Li''s face as she hugged him back.


    Grandfather and every other person had smiles on their faces as they pped their hands with their gazes on the couple hugging each other on stage.


    When Jia Li and Fu Hua came out of the church building, they took pictures with everybody present.


    The jealous little bun who had been watching her parents be together for a while now felt that it was time to be the center of attention, so she immediately kicked up a fuss in FangSu''s arms and asked for her father to carry her.


    Jia Li smiled at her cute little daughter. The little girl really held out for a while and now that she was asking to be carried, she had no problems with it.


    From the Church, Jia Li, Fu Hua and the little bun were driven to a hotel reserved for them. Their wedding reception was in 2-3 hours, so they had enough time to rest and change into another outfit.


    Thankfully, Jasmine fell asleep soon after they got to their hotel room. So Jia Li and Fu Hua had time to be alone.


    "Let me help you take off your dress." Fu Hua said with a smile. Jia Li didn''t trust him, so she said, "We still have a wedding reception and an hourter, the make-up artist wille to fix my makeup. You can''t y jokes here."


    Fu Hua immediately said to her, "What are you thinking about? I just want to help you or do you prefer to call any of the servants outside to help you?"


    "I believe that you are a gentleman that will keep to your words." Jia Li said before turning her back towards him, so he could help her to unzip her dress.


    Fu Hua chuckled softly before helping her to take off her dress.. He kept to his promise to not touch her but his eyes followed her body till she got dressed in a set offy clothes.

 Chapter 526 - She Was Brought Up Well

    <h4>Chapter 526 - She Was Brought Up Well</h4>


    As Jia Liy on the bed, she nced at her wedding ring and asked with a smile, "How much does this cost?"


    "My love for you." Fu Hua replied.


    "Naughty!" Jia Li said before ncing back at her wedding ring. "The ring ???? is beautiful, you have good taste."


    Fu Hua said with his eyes on her finger, "I made sure to pick a design that would suit you before it was made. I hope you like it."


    Jia Li answered immediately, "Of course I love it! And most especially, you got it for me."


    Fu Hua was quiet for a while before taking her hand and kissing her fingers. He brought her into his arms before suggesting, "I have one official photo of our wedding, let''s post it on our social media pages to announce to the world of our union."


    "I just recalled that we didn''t make any official announcement about our wedding. Posting one or two pictures wouldn''t be bad and I''m sure the inte is going to be on fire." Jia Li replied.


    She absolutely had no problems with showing off about their wedding. She was most proud of it and for the first time, would like to post their pictures to show off a bit.


    Fu Hua stared at her meaningfully and said, "Actually, the inte should be on fire because I already posted about us having a wedding today, in the morning, so I''m sure the outside world must be in an uproar."


    "What! You couldn''t wait?" Jia Li asked in surprise. She badly wanted to show him off today but it looks like he was even in more hurry than she was.


    "How can I really not show you off? Come on, let''s post our wedding photo or should we do a video together and post?" Fu Hua asked.


    "Let''s post a picture now, maybe we can post a video some other day." Jia Li said, not thinking that his suggestion was a bad idea.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua posted one of their wedding photos with a heartwarming caption underneath.


    This was the time for them to rx, so they couldn''t hold onto their phone for a long time. And soon, their lunch was brought for them.


    Jasmine was still sleeping, so Fu Hua suggested they let her sleep for a little while, otherwise, she is going to start crying if she was woken up forcibly.


    While Jia Li and Fu Hua were having the best time of their lives, the inte was on fire.


    People were shocked that they have been married for so long but were having a wedding today. Others thought about how they were able to hold themselves and only talk about their wedding on their wedding day.


    Someone even asked if they were old wedding photos or something but nobody came to reply to them not even their invited wedding guests said anything to them.


    It looks like they were waiting for the Fu Family to officially release a statement about the wedding before they can say anything.


    An hourter, Jasmine was awake and was being fed by FangSu, while Jia Li was getting her makeup done.


    FangSu was already dressed in her reception dress, which was the same style as the other bridesmaids.


    Their dresses were made by FJ Style for today. Their styles were the same but their colors were different. For them to appear in the wedding in that dress made by FJ, would be big publicity for that particr dress and FJ.


    Jasmine seemed a little tired and just sat there and ate the food her Aunt fed her. The little princess looked quite obedient but at her current state, it would be easy to irritate her, so care was being taken around her.


    Jia Li''s hairstyle was quickly changed before she got into her outfit. And her jewelry was also secured in the right ces.


    After eating, the little bun brushed her teeth and got dressed. Later, Fu Hua came by to check on them.


    An hourter, the wedding reception started. The Fu family didn''t personally wee their guests but only a few got that privilege.


    There were greeters to show the guests to their table.


    As Jia Li''s colleagues made their way into the hall, they were amazed. They now truly believed how humble Jia Li was. That youngdy doesn''t show off at all. She has such a wealthy husband who can give her such a grand wedding but she doesn''t show them off or make noise about it.


    "Say, Jia Li is so rich but why is she quiet? If I were to be in her shoes, I can''t just keep quiet about my wedding at least." One of them said as she looked around the wedding hall. Her eyes were on the expensive and beautiful interior decor.


    Another person said after having a look around. "I must say that Jia Li is really humble and her personality is making me love her more. She doesn''t boast and she is kind."


    "She was brought up well." Linda said with a smile.


    "That''s true. Upbringing matters. No matter which family you get into, the upbringing will help you to navigate and keep you disciplined." Another person said.


    Soon, one of the greeters came and took them to the table specifically arranged for them.


    After most of the guests had finished settling down, the wedding reception began at the scheduled time.


    When the right time to wee the bride and groom came, a romantic song yed and the guests got to their feet to wee them in.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua''s wedding reception was truly Grand. Important Families, world leaders, business tycoons, military, S-list celebrities and a host of the happening people that control the world, were present.


    Not only were Jia Li and Fu Hua the center of attention but the little Princess of the Fu family also looked so adorable in her outfit that the guests couldn''t take their eyes off her each time they saw her.

 Chapter 527 - YingPei And Daiyu

    <h4>Chapter 527 - YingPei And Daiyu</h4>


    Soon, YingPei found the perfect time to meet Daiyu when she went to the Champagne table to pick a ss.


    He has been thinking of which of his sister-inw''s friends he should meet, until that time Daiyu came to take Jasmine from him.


    He studied Daiyu for a bit and knew that she was different. She was not like Jia Li or like DanDan and Chang Chang. She looked more like a strong woman.


    Before walking up to her, YingPei was a bit afraid as he thought, ''Hope she doesn''t have the hobby of beating up men?''


    YingPei thought like that because of the reason he was going to meet her and her personality and how she would react. Because of this, he had that thought, before thinking of a better way tomunicate with her.


    Luckily, he found her at the Champagne tower where fewer people were and went to meet her.


    "Young master Fu." Daiyu called out with a smile. That was her own way of greeting him


    YingPei smiled and responded to her greeting. "YingPei, call me YingPei."


    Daiyu smiled in understanding before fixing her smiling gaze on Jia Li and Fu Hua were dancing on stage.


    YingPei followed her gaze to his brother and sister-inw and asked, "What are you thinking about?"


    Without looking at him, Daiyu replied, "Looking at Jia Li so happy today, makes me want a good man that will give me a perfect wedding like this."


    "Are you seriously thinking about that?" YingPei asked.


    "Why not? Which woman doesn''t want a perfect wedding like this?" Daiyu asked with her gaze on him.


    Although before, she wasn''t that interested in men and like what DanDan and Chang Chang said, she was always talking about beating them up if they bullied anyone of them but it looks like her views have changed.


    YingPei smiled. "That''s not hard. I am a good man and I can give you the perfect wedding that you want."


    Daiyu seemed surprised by his words and stared at him in shock. "Are you joking? In fact, why would you speak that way?"


    "Because I''m ready to be serious with my private life. I''m ready to date, so I came to you." YingPei replied. He wasn''t sure he came off the right way but anyway, he was already giving this matter a shot.


    Daiyu chuckled and said because she thought he was bluffing and she didn''t take his words seriously, "You look like you don''tck women."


    YingPei heaved a sigh and replied with his gaze on her, "I don''t understand what you mean but Ick women. I have dated a lot of girls before but since I came back to China, I haven''t had any rtionship. Myst serious rtionship ended before I traveled out and since then, others have just been flings."


    Daiyu kind of got interested in his story and so asked, "Why did you stop dating because you don''t look like someone that will like to stay single?"


    "Working in FJ is tiring and besides, I didn''t want to have any entanglement with any woman just for fun. I was ready to live my life until I meet the right woman." YingPei replied and Daiyu asked immediately,


    "Am I the right woman?"


    YingPei smiled and said before drinking from his ss of Champagne. "I''m not sure but I''m quite interested in you. We can only find out if we are right for each other when we go on a date, so what do you say?"


    Daiyu found all this fun. She chuckled softly before asking to make sure of his intentions, "Are you asking me out now?"


    "Of course. Let''s go on a date tomorrow evening by 4 pm, I will reserve a good ce and send you the address. But if you permit me, I wille to pick you up." YingPei said with a smile as he whipped out his phone from his trousers pocket.


    "I haven''t even agreed on the date and you are already saying this." Daiyu said with raised brows. She was truly surprised by his boldness.


    YingPei passed his phone to her while speaking to her and she instinctively reached out to take it from him.


    "Let''s start by exchanging contacts. Don''t think that I''m a bad person. But let''s say I was in the past but I will never treat you unfairly because you are my sister-inw''s friend and my brother wille for my precious fingers, so I don''t dare to be deceitful."


    "Never would I have believed anyone who would tell me that I would be asked out in this matter? I would like to hear your story, so I will give you my contact. I''m not a weakling who needs help from anyone, my fists are strong enough for a good defense against scums." Daiyu replied and passed his phone back to him after giving out her contact.


    YingPei clutched his chest and said to her with furrowed brows while receiving his phone with the other hand, "Are you trying to scare me away?"


    "If you are not guilty of having any evil intentions towards me, there won''t be a need to be scared of my threats." Daiyu replied with a smile.


    YingPei scrutinized her with his gaze while thinking if he made the mistake of picking her out of the 3 friends his sister-inw had.


    YingPei didn''t have any absurd thoughts towards her but her threats were already starting to scare him away.


    "After the party is over, I will introduce you to my grandfather. He wants me to start soon. I know we haven''t yet gone on our first date but I have to do this today or I will be in big trouble."


    "I see, your grandfather wants you to settle down soon but it''s all for your own good. Let me remind you that if we kick off well and find ourselves suitable for each other, we shouldn''t rush things." Daiyu said to him.


    The feeling of a rtionship and settlement being rushed wasn''t a good feeling for her and she would like to take things gradually if things went well with them.

 Chapter 528 - She Wanted To Disappear

    <h4>Chapter 528 - She Wanted To Disappear</h4>


    "We saw you chatting with Jia Li''s brother-inw plus all the facial expressions you disyed. Tell us, what did you two talk about?" Chang Chang asked with a wink.


    Daiyu who had just returned to their side huffed. "I think I might have gotten myself a man."


    "What!" DanDan and Chang Chang eximed with their palms over their mouth.


    Thank goodness for the loud music ying in the background, otherwise, all attention would have been on them instead of the couple dancing on the dance floor.


    "Can you not scream?" Daiyu said with a frown as she looked around to make sure they didn''t attract much attention to themselves.


    "You...you...you what did you say? You got yourself a man?" DanDan asked curiously.


    "You heard me right. I''m going on a date with Jia Li''s brother-inw. Don''t bother me with questions, I will only reply after the wedding ends."


    The focus was on Jia Li today. Daiyu knew that her friends would be curious about how YingPei asked her out. It didn''t seem right for them to talk about that matter there, so she told them they would talk about itter.


    DanDan and Chang Chang were already dying from curiosity but what could they do? Nothing.


    FangSu invited Zhang Junjie to the wedding, so they were currently together, chatting andughing happily.


    Fu Ling was with his personal assistant and he was waiting to tell her of her new role. He was waiting for the reception to end before he tells her of her new role.


    Meixu is the only one without a partner. As she watched the rest of the family members chat with others, she stood a ce and started to reminisce about Shi Qiao because she was lonely.


    Actually, Shi Qiao was good to her but because she was after revenge, she dumped him. Now that she was feeling lonely, she remembered him.


    Meixu was still lost on the thought until some of her friends from the entertainment industry walked up to her to greet her.


    After they left, she patted her chest and asked herself, ''Who were thinking about just now?''


    After dancing, Jia Li and Fu Hua did not leave the floor immediately. Fu Hua pulled her close to himself before lowering his head to meet her face. Then, he smiled before kissing her softly on the lips to the amazement of their guests.


    Although there were only well-mannered people present, their actions were strong enough to cause their guests to cheer them on.


    Fu Hua''s move was unexpected and that caused Jia Li to be embarrassed. But no matter how embarrassed she was, she couldn''t run away because Fu Hua was holding her waist tightly.


    YingPei who had already run to his parents'' side to find the adorable little girl, immediately covered her eyes when he saw what her parents were doing on stage.


    The little girl was obviously ufortable with his hand over her eyes, so she tried to pull his palm away from her eyes but he wouldn''t budge.


    "Da Xia, you can''t watch this, hold on for a minute." YingPei had said to her with a smile, even though she couldn''t see him.


    Fu Hee didn''t know what to say to her son. Jasmine was indeed too little to watch that scene but making her ufortable, she didn''t know if his intention was to make her cry in the presence of their guests or what.


    Jia Li''s face was all red after the kiss. She could only curse inwardly as Fu Hua pulled her to leave the dance floor.


    "Can you stop creating awareness, I''m sure everybody knows how much you love me." Jia Li said in a low tone as they returned to their special seats.


    Fu Hua smiled and whispered back to her, "No, they don''t know yet."


    After the cutting of the wedding cake, Jia Li and Fu Hua had to feed each other a piece of the cake and the wine, after making a toast.


    ording to the host''s instruction, Jia Li had to feed Fu Hua first. What was there in feeding him?


    Jia Li picked up a piece of cake and sent it into his mouth before using her handkerchief to clean the corner of his mouth. After that, she fed him some wine from his wine ss before rxingfortably on her seat.


    As the guests pped for her, she blushed a little. Doing something like this outside, was something she was not used to. Jia Li was shy because people watched her feed Fu Hua but she only found out the meaning of being shy with Fu Hua''s next actions.


    When Fu Hua finished eating the piece of cake Jia Li fed him, he washed it down with some wine, and now, it was his turn to feed her.


    To everyone''s surprise, he picked up a piece of cake and sent it into his mouth and inched closer to Jia Li who instinctively leaned backward in shock.


    Fu Hua didn''t give her time to escape from him, as he immediately stretched out his hand to pull her closer to him before forcing the cake in his mouth inside her mouth.


    There was nothing disgusting with Fu Hua''s action. He only held the piece of cake with his teeth before transferring it to Jia Li''s mouth, he didn''t chew it and his saliva didn''t touch it.


    Not minding that this was her wedding, Jia Li wanted to disappear when Fu Hua did that. Her cheeks turned a deep shade of red and they hurt because she was blushing so hard.


    Afraid that he might want to do the same thing with the wine, she immediately took it from him as he picked up the wine ss.


    The guests pped and cheered on for Jia Li and Fu Hua. The couple really had their admiration.


    Fu Hua chuckled from the side because he knew how shy Jia Li was feeling at the moment.


    Jasmine who was sitting at the same table with her grandparents and great-grandfather ate the piece of cake in front of her. The little girl refused to be distracted from the cheers the guests made when there was food lying in front of her.


    The older Fu family members (Grandfather Fu, Fu Lei, Fu Hee, Fu Geming, Fu ChunHua, Fu Juan and her husband) who were sitting at the same table as Jasmineughed heartily as they watched her eat.

 Chapter 529 - End Of Party

    <h4>Chapter 529 - End Of Party</h4>


    When the guests were almost about to finish eating, gifts were handed to them in a special well-packaged fancy bag.


    When Jia Li''s coworkers each got the fancy bag, they smiled heartily and immediately took a peek inside the bag.


    Linda shook her head and said to them, "Can you at least not embarrass yourselves?"


    "At this point, I don''t know what embarrassment is. If we were not here, I would have opened this bag properly to see the gifts inside and I''m sure it''s something worth a lot of money." One of them said with a big smile on her face.


    Another said. "I really have to thank Jia Li properly when she resumes work for inviting us to her wedding. There was no special treatment here, we were all treated equally with the important guests."


    Sunny and other FJ departmental heads were sitting at a different table, watching the performance on the stage.


    Atst, when the wedding reception came to an end, Fu Hua made a closing remark and after that, grandfather Fu came up on stage to say something to the guests.


    Grandfather Fu was still highly respected and valued by his country, so honor and respect were always given to him wherever he appeared.


    After the wedding reception ended, most of the guests didn''t leave immediately. They went to greet the Fu family and thetest couple.


    The Huang family went to see Jia Li and Fu Hua, before going to the Fu family''s table to greet them. Because of time and the distance they would have to travel back to, they couldn''t stay for a long time.


    Before the Huang family left, Jia Li introduced them to her little bun.


    "This is my daughter, Da Xia." Jia Li said with a smile as she gazed at the little girl clutching her feet and refusing to let go.


    Jasmine was not alwaysfortable when strangers got close to her, so she would always try to avoid them, just like right now.


    Old Mrs. Huang smiled and said to Jia Li after staring happily at the little girl. "Da Xia is beautiful. She inherited the good genes from you and her father."


    "Jasmine, this is great-grandmother Huang. Say hello to her." Jia Li said to the little girl but instead of obeying her mother, the little girl nced at the Huang family before looking away.


    Jia Li smiled apologetically. "I''m sorry, Jasmine doesn''t feelfortable being around a crowd and people she is unfamiliar with."


    Old Mrs. Huang and her family chuckled heartily before the olddy spoke up. "What''s there to be sorry about, Da Xia''s action is right. It''s good to react this way towards people she is not familiar with, it is a good way for self-defense."


    "Jia Li, take care. We have to leave now but we will keep in touch." The first daughter of the Huang family said with a smile.


    "Thank you foring." Jia Li said to them with a warm smile but the third daughter frowned and said, "Why are you thanking us? We should be the ones thanking you for inviting us to your wedding."


    Jia Li smiled without saying anything. Just before walking away, the first son of the Huang family dipped his hands into his trouser pocket and brought out a red packet before handing it to Jasmine.


    "This is the gift we especially prepared for her." He said with a small smile.


    Jasmine nced at his hand but nced back at her mother for approval. Jasmine only took the red packet from him after her mother gave her permission to take it.


    After taking the red packet from him, she said thank you in her cute little voice before fiddling with the red packet.


    Jia Li thanked her uncle and wanted to walk them out but they refused, so she stayed back with the little girl before Fu Hua joined them.


    Immediately Jasmine saw her father, she ran to him and showed him the red packet she got as a gift.


    Fu Hua was all smiles as he lifted her in his arms before asking who gave the red packet to her. Jasmine had no idea of who they were, so she pointed at her mother with her little finger.


    Fu Hua kissed her cheeks and asked, "Mummy gave it to you?" Jasmine shook her head in a negative affirmation.


    Jia Li smiled and walked up to them and exined on the little girl''s behalf, "The Huang family gave it to her."


    "Have they left?" Fu Hua asked. "Yes, just now." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    YingPei walked up to Jia Li''s friends and pulled Daiyu away by the arms after taking permission from DanDan and Chang Chang whom she was chatting with.


    Daiyu allowed him to pull her aside and asked, "Where are you taking me to?"


    "My grandfather is alone now, let''s go and meet him." YingPei said in reply as he released her arm and took her hand and walked towards the old man that was sitting with the remaining family members.


    "Why are you in a hurry, what if your grandfather doesn''t like me?" Daiyu asked. With the way, he was pulling her, made it look like he was impatient.


    YingPei said. "You are one of my sister-inw''s closest friends and that is enough reason for my grandfather to like you."


    "Oh!" Daiyu eximed and continued following after him.


    Daiyu, DanDan and Chang Chang were already aware of how much the Fu family cherished Jia Li, especially Grandfather Fu but to Daiyu''s surprise, the old man would ept anyone rted to Jia Li without any investigation.


    Actually, it was not just those that were rted to Jia Li that he would ept but those that she had a good rtionship with.


    For now, Daiyu couldn''t say she was lucky to meet YingPei because she still didn''t know anything about him, apart from just his name and his rtionship with the Fu family.. Until theye to know each other very well, she can''t say that she is lucky to have met YingPei.

 Chapter 530 - Introduction

    <h4>Chapter 530 - Introduction</h4>


    YingPei brought Daiyu to his family''s table and introduced her to them.


    "Grandfather, this is Daiyu, she is one of Jia Li''s good friends and now, we are friends as well." As YingPei said this, there was a big smile on his face.


    He didn''t want to outrightly say that Daiyu was his girlfriend because she was not. But introducing her that way would give them ideas that were good enough.


    As he introduced her, Daiyu bowed in greeting to Grandfather Fu and the rest of the family members sitting there.


    "Is she your girlfriend?" Fu ChunHua asked with a smile as the other family members looked on.


    YingPei thought for a short while before replying, "You can say that."


    He was going on a date with Daiyu the next day, so it wouldn''t be wrong to say she was his girlfriend. And besides, she agreed to date him.


    After introducing her to his family, he took her hand and left.


    "Why did he choose to date Jia Li''s friend, is he trying to y some tricks here?" Fu Lei asked with a frown.


    Grandfather Fu who has not said a word since YingPei came and left, replied, "He doesn''t dare to y tricks with his sister-inw''s friend. But if he dares, I will cut off his legs."


    "It will be good if he is serious this time around." Fu Hee said.


    Fu Ling who just saw YingPei introduce a woman to the family, turned to nce at his assistant before saying to her, "Today, your role is my girlfriend. I''m going to introduce you to my family now."


    "What!" His assistant eximed in shock. This was a weird role and not just that, he was going to introduce her to his family as his fake girlfriend.


    Fu Ling said to her, "I know this is a surprise to you but you just have to do this for me and I will give you a raise in your sry this month."


    "Sir, this is not about money. I am your assistant and this might affect my work ethic." His assistant said with a slight smile.


    "I trust that you are a professional and can handle your work well. Why else do you think I would send you an outfit for today when I haven''t done that before? Your job is to be my fake girlfriend in front of my family." Fu Ling said with a serious gaze on her.


    His personal assistant was shocked by all of this but she still asked, "Can I say no to this?"


    "You can''t refuse me when you have already worn my dress ande to my cousin''s wedding." Fu Ling said to her with raised brows.


    Before she could reply to him and tell him that she wouldn''t have agreed to be his partner for the wedding if she knew about this matter, he took her hand and dragged her towards his family''s table.


    "You don''t need to speak if you are not given permission to." Fu Ling reminded her. What more could she say? It''s not like she could say ''no'' to him.


    When Fu Ling brought his personal assistant over and introduced her to them, Grandfather Fu asked, "How did you meet her?"


    Fu Ling nced at his partner and said replied, "She is my personal assistant."


    "She is your employee?" Fu ChunHua asked with raised brows. She was surprised that her son would choose to date his employee.


    "Did you choose to date her because it''s convenient?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    The reason he asked that question was since Fu Ling chose to date his personal assistant, it must be because she was working for him and it was easier to pick her since he didn''t have to go the extra mile to choose anotherdy.


    Fu Ling''s assistant was nervous about meeting the Fu family members. She didn''te from a rich family and it was her luck that she became the personal assistant of her current boss and also thanks to her work performance.


    She was already on tenterhooks each day catering for her Boss who was a member of one of the most influential families in the country. And now standing before the entire Fu family made her nervous and ufortable.


    Luckily, she had work experience in dealing with important clients, so she just took the Fu family as important clients she must impress.


    "Grandfather, you know I''m very busy and don''t have the time to explore, so I just picked what was in front of me and it turned out to be good." Ling replied.


    Grandfather Fu waved his hands which was a sign to ask them to leave. After they left, Fu Juan asked about his opinion on thedies that were brought to them.


    "Father, what do you think about thedies YingPei and Ling brought over?"


    Grandfather Fu replied with his gaze on her, "That Lady YingPei brought over can''t be bullied by him because she has a strong personality and it looks like YingPei would be the one to be bullied instead. As For Ling, he has a simr personality to Hua and thedy he brought over had Jia Li''s personality and she would end up being neglected and bullied if she really loves Ling."


    "Father, why do you say that about Ling?" Fu Geming asked with curiosity.


    "Ling doesn''t look like he is interested in dating anyone now, so he might neglect her since he was forced to date. And if she likes him, she will be hurt but she might obediently continue to stay at his side." Grandfather Fu replied.


    Grandfather Fu was already aware of what kind of personality his grandsons have and when they brought over thedies they imed were their girlfriends, he already assessed them.


    After they left the table, Fu Ling let go of his partner''s hand.


    "Boss, I will take my leave now." She said to him.


    "Mmm... go ahead." Fu Ling said to her.. He stood there and watched her leave before turning to walk away, only to meet YingPei along the way, staring at him with a smile.

 Chapter 531 - A Fire Burning In His Heart

    <h4>Chapter 531 - A Fire Burning In His Heart</h4>


    "Who was thatdy you were speaking with just now, and I saw you take her to Grandfather, is she your ''girlfriend''? YingPei asked as a mischievous smile yed on his face.


    Fu Ling put his hands inside his front trouser pockets and replied, "Yes."


    "Where did you pick her up from?." YingPei asked with interest. He wanted to know his cousin''s tactics with picking up girls in less than 24 hours.


    "She works for me, she is my personal assistant." Fu Ling replied.


    "What!" Fu YingPei eximed in surprise before going forward to ask, "You are doing office romance now?"


    Fu Ling frowned. "What office romance? All of this happened on short notice, and it was convenient for me to pick her. She works for me, and she will be able to rte more to my situation."


    YingPei ced his hand on his shoulder and asked, "Are you nning to date her?."


    "I don''t like mixing my personal life with my work life, so I can''t date her, it will be bothersome, and she is not really my type." Fu Ling replied with furrowed brows.


    YingPei nodded and said to him, "Good luck with deceiving Grandfather till the end."


    When it was time to leave, Fu Hee tried to separate the little girl from her parents, but she refused and began to cry.


    The arrangement was that Jia Li and Fu Hua would spend the night together in their home, then the next day, the little bun would be brought to them early in the morning so they can travel together for their honeymoon.


    Grandfather Fu walked over and asked the little bun toe to him. Jasmine nced at her great grandfather and slowly stopped crying, but she didn''t stretch out her hands to him, so the old man had toe to her side and lift her in his arms.


    "Don''t cry, we are going home to see Ocean, Avery, and Archie. Great-grandpa will also give you some strawberries and choctes. Oh! that''s right, we have some Ice cream in the fridge. What would you like?." Grandfather Fu asked as he carried Jasmine in his arm and walked towards his car, while Fu Lei and Fu Geming followed after him.


    As his aged voice faded, Jia Li sighed in relief. The little bun was hard to please especially when you want to talk her out of her ns.


    After Jia Li and Fu Hua left in their car, YingPei went to meet Daiyu before sending her and her friends off.


    They were going to the hotel rooms that were already booked for them. When they left for the church wedding in the morning, the servants already sent their stuff to their hotel room. As for the properties of the Fu female family members, they had already sent them back to the Fu Mansion, so there was no need for them to return.


    Back at home, as the driver carrying Jia Li and Fu was driving in, a van was leaving. Jia Li was surprised and asked Fu Hua about the van.


    "They just delivered our wedding gifts, so they are leaving."


    "Are you saying that we got so many wedding gifts?" Jia Li asked with her mouth agape.


    Jia Li was already used to the wealth of the Fu family members, but the van that just drove out of their house premises was too big to contain their wedding gifts, so she was surprised.


    "I am the first grandchild of the Fu family from my grandfather''s side to get married, and our family is already very influential, so it is a given that we would receive so many gifts." Fu Hua replied.


    Now, this was not just about the Fu family being influential. Fu Hua was also influential and had a lot of business partners who would like to curry his favor by sending him so many expensive wedding gifts.


    Another reason is that the Fu family had a lot of money, so giving them money as a wedding gift was meaningless. And since that was the case, buying them expensive gifts that were useful, made sense.


    When Jia Li and Fu Hua walked into their bedroom and saw the new decorations and set up, they felt warned up in their hearts.


    "What kind of night are we going to have?." Fu Hua asked as a yful smile turned up on his lips.


    "A calm and warm night because I''m very tired." Jia Li replied with a smile before walking into their walk-in closet.


    Fu Hua followed after her and asked, "Are you for real? This is our wedding night, we can''t just get to bed like that."


    "Who says we can''t sleep on our wedding night? I''m tired, and I just need a warm bubble bath with rose petals and a bottle of champagne. And after that, I want to lie in your embrace and sleep peacefully." Jia Li replied as she sat on the stool and took off her jewelry while ncing at the mirror.


    Fu Hua smiled and said to her, "Your idea is not bad. I''m very happy that you would want to sleep in my embrace, but what if a fire begins to burn in my heart?."


    Jia Li blushed as she understood what he was talking about, but she still replied to him, "Then you would have to endure it until we embark on our honeymoon."


    Fu Hua chuckled softly and came behind her to embrace and kiss her neck. "You are beginning to get naughty."


    "Who taught me that?." Jia Li asked as she gazed at him with a smile from the mirror.


    Fu Hua helped Jia Li to get off her dress and to lose the pins that were used to style her hair. Seeing his wife half-naked, made him smile happily.


    The bathroom was close by, so Jia Li didn''t bother to put on some clothes before going there, and besides, her bathrobe was in the bathroom.


    Without taking much time, Fu Hua undressed and joined her in the bathroom.. When he arrived Jia Li was already running their bath.

 Chapter 532 - Bullying Jia Li

    <h4>Chapter 532 - Bullying Jia Li</h4>


    There was a bottle of champagne in a bucket of ice with two sses of Champagne close to the bathtub, just as Jia Li desired.


    There were already some rose petals in the basket ced next to the bathtub, so all Jia Li had to do was to put them in the bath and add the special essential oil in the water.


    Jia Li''s tensed shoulders immediately rxed after she got into the tub. She inhaled and exhaled beautifully with her eyes closed. And when she opened them, Fu Hua was already in the tub with her.


    Pulling her back to rest on his chest, Fu Hua hugged her waist and said to her in a low tone, "How can you think of bathingfortably with this thing poking your back?"


    "If you have any ideas, let''s bath separately, who knows, you might slip in from behind." Jia Li replied and attempted to leave his arms but he held her tightly and asked her not to move.


    "Don''t move, just stay here and nothing will happen, I promise you." Fu Hua said in a low tone.


    Jia Li sighed and sat without turning to nce at him because of his warning, "Are you not torturing the two of us? That thing poking my back it''s making me ufortable as well. How can we chat in this kind of ambiance?"


    "We are not going to have s*x here but we can do other things, don''t you agree?" Fu Hua asked.


    Jia Li feigned ignorance as she replied, "I know. We can do other things like chatting. We can chat about the interesting ces to visit on our honeymoon. We can talk about FJ''s next fashion show and n Jasmine''s next birthday party."


    In other to punish her for pretending not to know what he was talking about, Fu Hua mmed her butts against him, so she could feel his arousal.


    When Jia Li felt his strong arousal, she dared not move her butts at all. "What are you doing!"


    "I told you that you just have to be obedient. Come, let''s have a drink." Fu Hua replied after staying calm for a few minutes, before proceeding to pour some Champagne in their sses.


    After his threat, Jia Li learned to be obedient. She clinked sses ???? with Fu Hua before taking small sips from the ss of slightly chilled Champagne.


    Back at the hotel, Daiyu did not remain tight-lipped as she was during the wedding reception. After having a bath and changing into a set offortable nightdress, DanDan and Chang Chang came into her room.


    Daiyu of course knew what they came for after seeing those obvious smiles on their faces. She smiled back at them and let them into her room.


    Immediately they all settled on her bed, they began to ask questions concerning YingPei and she spilled the truth to them.


    "I still can''t believe this. Immediately you said you were ready to date, you got yourself a man, did you n all of these?" Chang Chang asked with widened eyeballs.


    "Do I look like I have any hideous thought? I didn''t n anything." Daiyu replied.


    DanDan said, "You and young master YingPei doesn''t look like a good match but things might work out between you two. Chang Chang and I will be praying you don''t beat him up on your first date tomorrow."


    "Am I a tyrant? I have repented long ago and besides, it''s not like I want to end up in jail for beating up a member of the Fu family, I can''t end my life that way." Daiyu replied.


    Chang Chang looked like she still didn''t believe her, so she added, "I really wish you can remember not to hit him. If he infuriates you, just stand up and leave that ce, don''t go about pouring drinks on him or breaking a bottle on his head or even kicking him in that area."


    "Enough! I already told the two of you that I have changed. Which man would like to end up with a partner that beats him? It would be weird right?" Daiyu said with a frown.


    "Old habits don''t die hard." DanDan said in a low tone and looked away.


    "You...you..." Daiyu stammered while pointing fingers at her but Chang Chang hit it away gently with a smile.


    "Why don''t we think of how to tease Jia Li tomorrow, today is her wedding night and tomorrow morning she is leaving for her honeymoon. I''m sure she would have a pleasant night."


    Daiyu and DanDan suddenly thought of the same thing as Chang Chang. They looked at each other and chuckled hard.


    "Thanks to that special essential bath oil we provided, things should be going smoothly on her end." DanDan said with an ominous smile.


    Daiyu crossed had legs and said, "I just hope she wouldn''t be bullied too much tonight, so she won''te after us."


    "Rx, I don''t think she will ever find out we are the cause for her beautiful night well spent, after all, it''s normal for couples to do that thing on their wedding night." Chang Chang said with an evil smile.


    "It would be nice if she gives us another child after this oue. The three of us fighting over Jasmine won''t do." Daiyu said with her eyes closed.


    DanDan was the first to burst intoughter after they said their evil ns for Jia Li before Chang Chang and Daiyu joined her.


    "Somehow, I''m beginning to feel bad that we are bullying Jia Li." Daiyu said with a small smile.


    "We are aware that we are bullying her but it is in a good way. We only make the best ns for her." Chang Chang said while nodding.


    The three friends ended up chatting for a long time before DanDan and Chang Chang retired to their bedrooms.


    Out there, the inte was in an uproar and matters became worse after the Fu family released an official statement concerning Jia Li and Fu Hua''s wedding and their guests'' response to the announcement.


    Now, everyone can believe that Jia Li and Fu Hua actually wedded that day.. There were lots of positivements from fans and a few nasty ones from jealous people.

 Chapter 533 - Provocation

    <h4>Chapter 533 - Provocation</h4>


    You all have to trust Feng Alix for not knowing her ce. These days, she cared less about anyone''s opinion of her. She didn''t care if people thought that she still loved Fu Hua or that she was jealous of Jia Li since she couldn''t be with Fu Hua. She just reacts to anything she wants to react to and gives her own opinion without minding.


    As everyone was talking about Jia Li and Fu Hua''s wedding, she too just learned about it and was provoked in her spirit.


    She still liked Fu Hua so of course, she would be jealous of any news that linked him and Jia Li together. Now, something big as a wedding happened between them and it was being talked about by almost everyone.


    There was no way Feng Alix would keep her thoughts and her hands to herself after seeing this news trend. She posted something on her social media page which attracted a lot of attention and curses at her.


    Feng Alix posted her wedding picture on her page with a few lines beneath it before posting.


    ''Never making a mistake of having a child before a proper wedding but I guess some women are so loose as to open their legs without thinking because of their greed.''


    Feng Alix was under attack a few minutes after making that post. She was dragged by her enemies but because she was thick-skinned, she remained unmoved.


    Someone who was infuriated by her misconduct made a post and tagged her.


    ''Some greedy and shameless women who do not know their ce, seduce someone''s father and grandfather because of wealth and benefits they would rip from the union. Such women are downgraded and a nuisance to the society and should be gotten rid of @AlixFeng don''t you agree?''


    Many people who have been annoyed by Feng Alix tongueshed her. They made so many nastyments and tagged her since she turned off herment section for her current post.


    Someone went as far as to call her a coward for not calling her names and also for turning off herment section.


    Feng Alix replied to that person saying that she doesn''t want so broke-ass people who are jobless and have nothing better to do, to make any nastyments on her page.


    Feng Alix on the other hand who doesn''t have anything better to do, rxed by the pool area of her house (Mr. Suarez) while drinking a ss of wine.


    She looked as if she wasn''t bothered by the nastyments directed towards her. And truly, she wasn''t bothered about them. The only thing that was pricking her heart was Jia Li and Fu Hua''s wedding pictures which she was currently staring at.


    Staring at those pictures provoked her and that led to her next action. She made a post of warning to those abusing her.


    She asked those abusing her to be careful and said that she had money and the connection to sue them for verbal abuse. She also asked them to use their heads and also added that she doesn''t tag anybody or call out people but those abusing her always call her out and she had the right to sue them.


    Many people were angry because they felt that she was oppressing them. After all, she had money but she was right.


    Alix was smart enough not to call out names or tag anyone in her post, although she offended a lot of people in thest post about women getting pregnant and giving birth without having a wedding first. Still, she didn''t directly call out to anyone. But those abusing her verbally, keep tagging her and dragging her in the mud, which gives them the power to sue some of them.


    Someone said, ''Because someone married a wealthy man old enough to be her grandfather, she has forgotten how she fell from grace and has now turned to oppress others with the connection she wouldn''t have today if she didn''t go all out to disrupt a peaceful wealthy family.''


    The person that made this post, didn''t tag Alix and now, Alix can''t even sue her since she didn''t directly call out to her.


    Thanks to her warning and idea, the others soon adopted these tactics and scolded her without calling out to her.


    Feng Alix was so furious after the hating game refused to die down, as it turned out that a smart woman like her, made a big mistake by letting her enemies know how to abuse her and get away with it.


    Since she couldn''t smash her phone, Feng Alix smashed the ss of wine by her side just to vent her anger.


    After a few more minutes of putting her phone aside and trying to cool off but failed, she jumped into the pool to have a few rounds of swimming before stepping out.


    After cooling off for a bit, she wrapped her white robe around her body before taking her phone and walking inside the house.


    The mess she caused at the pool has long been cleaned by the servants.


    On her way inside the house, she learned that Mr. Suarez had just woken up from a nap. Her mood changed for good. She smiled and opened up her robe to show off her cleavage and long legs before going to find him.


    When she saw him eating some fruits in a small sitting room, she smiled and hurried up to sit beside him.


    "Why is your hair wet?" Mr. Suarez asked as he nced at her with a frown.


    Feng Alix smiled. She crossed her legs in other to show off some skin before holding his left arm and pressing her breasts on it and then, she replied in a soft tone, "I was swimming when I heard you have woken up from your nap, so I immediately rushed over to see you. Did you have a good nap?"


    "I had a good nap and there is no need to bother about an old man like me who has so many servants to take care of me. I even have a caretaker, so there is no need to worry so much about me." Mr.. Suarez said.

 Chapter 534 - I Almost Died

    <h4>Chapter 534 - I Almost Died</h4>


    (WARNING: Some suggestive words are used in the middle of this chapter)


    Feng Alix pretended to be angry and said to him, "Are you saying that there is no need to marry me since you have so many servants to take care of you?"


    Mr. Suarez chuckled heartily and said to her, "How can I mean that. I don''t want you to stress yourself. Your only job is to take care of yourself and go out with me. You are not allowed to do the work of a servant."


    "How can a wife worrying about her husband be a servant''s work? Just let me worry about you, as that''s the only way I can feel at peace." Feng Alix said with a smile as she continued to rub her boobs on his arm and with a pout on her lips.


    Just to make her happy, Mr. Suarez allowed her to do what she wanted. "You can go out to party with your friends, juste and take my card if you want to spend some money today."


    "Really, thank you!" Feng Alix said as she smiled even more.


    Because he didn''t want her to catch a cold, he asked her to go and dry her had properly and change into better clothes and only then did Alix agree to leave his side.


    As she let go of his arm, his phone started to ring, so she picked it up from the table and passed it to him after she managed to catch a glimpse of the caller ID.


    After passing the phone to him, she got to her feet and started walking slowly towards the door when she heard the old man say to hiswyer toe over in a few days so they could start making ns for his will.


    Feng Alix felt a thump on her chest after learning that her husband wanted to start making ns for it. Now, it looks like she has to work a bit harder to be in his favor these few days so he could add up some things for her.


    After the new year celebrations, it wasn''t easy winning his favor. She had to turn into a maid just to impress him and get into his good books as well. Not forgetting how she tried to harm herself after he failed to recognize all her sacrifices but he saved her in the end and warned her never to make such mistakes again, which included being careless with his family''s traditions and parties and also harming herself of which she agreed to.


    Now that she has heard when, where and what time he was going to meet hiswyer, all she had to do was to work hard to meet his demands and also to eavesdrop to hear their discussions.


    Fu Hua said he was not going to have s*x with Jia Li, but he couldn''t control himself. He felt that she scented nice and her plump body felt so good in his hands.


    Even while bathing, he couldn''t stop fondling her breasts and touching her all over, until they both couldn''t ignore the fire in their body anymore and dived in their desires.


    Getting banged from behind was surely a good feeling for Jia Li who wouldn''t stop screaming in ecstasy. Fortunately, their bedroom was soundproofed, otherwise, the servants wouldn''t know how to face them the next morning.


    From the bathroom to the bedroom, Jia Li and Fu Hua engaged in a love fight. And it was today that Jia Li learned that they could do it while standing.


    The more Jia Li screamed and moaned, the more blood rushed to Fu Hua''s lower part and the harder he banged her.


    When Jia Li got exhausted to the point that she couldn''t move that was a call for Fu Hua to stop but he couldn''t. Instead, he slowed his pace and moved in and out of her slowly, while shey with her back on the bed.


    Finally, Fu Hua stopped when he saw how tired and weak his wife was. He pulled out of her andy beside her before taking off the 7th condom used for the night and dumped it on the floor where the other 6 were lying.


    After breathing heavily, Fu Hua turned to nce at Jia Li who was breathing heavily with her eyes closed and pulled her into his arms after kissing her forehead and lips.


    "I... I... thought, you... you wouldn''t stop. I almost died." Jia Li said a little breathlessly. If Fu Hua didn''t stop now, she was sure she would have fainted because she was already very tired from the exercise and also from begging him to stop.


    Fu Hua hugged her tightly and kissed her lips softly before replying, "I had to stop because I saw you were already too weak to move."


    Jia Li saved her breath and didn''t reply anymore. Sheid down peacefully and closed her eyes to sleep in his embrace not minding that their naked skin was touching.


    Fu Hua knew that he was very exhausted because his little brother twitched a little when he hugged Jia Li''s naked body and her breasts touched his naked chest. Normally, it would have risen but it just twitched and stayed in ce.


    The next morning, Jia Li woke up early. Not out of her normal routine because she slept verytest night after an intense exercise but because she was famished.


    When she woke up, she discovered that Fu Hua was not in the bedroom but when she saw the food on the table next to the couch, she jumped in joy and totally forgot about him.


    Jia Li immediately hurried into the shower to brush her teeth and to have a quick bath before rushing back to the bedroom to sit on the couch and enjoy her piping hot breakfast.


    In the middle of eating, Fu Hua walked in his tracksuit and a small towel resting on his shoulder.. It looked like he had gone out early in the morning for a jog.

 Chapter 535 - So Good With Words

    <h4>Chapter 535 - So Good With Words</h4>


    Fu Hua walked in and saw Jia Li eating quickly and smiled. "It looks like I did a good thing by ordering your breakfast on time."


    "At least you know the right thing to do. Who brought the food up here?" Jia Li asked after swallowing the food in her mouth.


    "The servants did but I clothed you before leaving for my morning run." Fu Hua replied as he made his way towards the inner room door but Jia Li stopped him with a question.


    "Can I ask a question?"


    "Yeah, sure." Fu Hua replied with a smile and walked back to her side to sit next to her on the couch.


    "Have you had your breakfast?" Jia Li asked.


    Fu Hua was surprised when she asked that question because he thought she had an important question to ask that made him not go directly to have a shower.


    "No." Fu Hua replied.


    "You almost killed mest night but here I am eating the moment I got off the bed, while you went for a morning jog. Now, I''m curious on how strong you are and how long you can hold up to in bed." Jia Li said with furrowed brows as she paused with eating.


    Now hearing the question that made her call his attention, Fu Hua chuckled heartily and replied, "I canst as long as you want me to. Maybe 7 to 10 hours if you can hold up to that."


    "What!" Jia Li eximed in shock before adding, "Is there an end to your insatiable desire?"


    Fu Hua chuckled more when he saw the shocked expression on Jia Li''s face. He knew that she must have been scared of his response. Being afraid was of him when ites to bed activities was not a good thing, so he immediately said...


    "Don''t be deceived by my teasing words. I am very hungry just like you but I have to exercise on an empty stomach before eating."


    Jia Li sighed in relief and hit his arm as she replied, "You almost scared the shit out of me. Remind me next time to date before getting married before I end up getting killed in bed."


    "How can I kill you in bed? If I do that, who am I going to have s*x with?" Fu Hua teased.


    "There are so many women who are ready to jump in your bed without you asking or looking for them." Jia Li replied and sent food into her mouth without a care.


    "You are right but none of them can bepared to you. You are the one I chose to be with till the end." Fu Hua said to her and kissed her cheeks before standing up and leaving to her amazement.


    ''Why is he so good with words? Was that how I fell for him?'' Jia Li thought with a frown before she turned her gaze back to her food to continue eating.


    After breakfast, the maids started to pack their things for them just before Jasmine was brought over by her uncles.


    Immediately the little bun saw her parents, she ran towards them with steady steps while calling out to her. She missed both of them, so she was not biased today on who to meet first.


    After receiving hugs and kisses from her mother, her father lifted her in his arm and yed with her.


    Jia Li invited YingPei and Ling toe in for tea and they agreed after they had initially refused and she persuaded them again.


    Jasmine couldn''t stop talking about her activities after not seeing her parents for less than 24 hours.


    When Jia Li asked her what she ate for breakfast, the little girl attempted to describe what she ate after saying just two names of what she could remember. Since she was not that good with describing things, she just went on to say the colors of what she ate.


    Thankfully, YingPei and Ling were there to tell her what the little girl was talking about. Jia Li and Fu Hua had a goodugh at the special way their little daughter described things she couldn''tprehend.


    YingPei and Ling didn''t stay for long. They only spent about half an hour before leaving, since Jia Li, Fu Hua and the little bun had a flight to catch in the next 3 hours.


    When Jasmine learned they were going away for a few days, she asked if she could see flowers and water there.


    Jia Li knew she was referring to the beach when she mentioned ''Water'' so she nodded in response. The little bun screamed happily and even went on to shake her chubby body.


    "It looks like my little princess can''t wait to have some fun." Fu Hua said from the side as he watched the little girl jump on their bed.


    Jia Li personally packed Jasmine''s clothes and toys she can y with when they get over there.


    After an hour more of parking their stuff, they were ready to leave for the airport, where the Fu family''s private jet was waiting.


    When they got to the airport through another entrance in disguise, Fu Hua carried the little bun in his arms, while Jia Li walked beside him and their security team surrounded them at a close range while walking forward with their luggage.


    The airport''s security team also escorted them till they passed the border and got to their private jet after a few people managed to guess their identities and tried to surround them.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua took off their masks and the hoodie they used to cover Jasmine''s head and half of her face.


    The little girl looked excited to be in the private jet. She walked about for a few minutes before an attendant carried her back to Jia Li when they were about to take off.


    Thankfully Fu Hua was there to make sure the little bun didn''t cause trouble by insisting on sitting on her own.


    Jasmine sat obediently in her father''s arms and pointed at the window to the birds she could see for the time being.

 Chapter 536 - Strength Test

    <h4>Chapter 536 - Strength Test</h4>


    The evening of the same day in China, YingPei and Daiyu went on a date in a famous restaurant.


    Since Daiyu was still staying in a hotel with DanDan and Chang Chang and would be going back to their city the next day, YingPei went to pick her up.


    After they had settled down at their reserved table, YingPei called a waiter over so they could ce their order.


    Going through the menu, Daiyu could not find anything to her taste on it, so she asked YingPei to pick the dishes for her.


    Taking the menu from her, YingPei nced at it with a serious facial expression before asking, Do you prefer sweet, spicy or sour dishes?"


    "That will spend on the dish but I prefer spicy food. Sour dishes arest on my list." Daiyu replied. After ascertaining her preferences, YingPei went on to pick a few dishes for her.


    When the waiter left to get their order, YingPei faced Daiyu with a smile and then asked a question while rubbing his palms together.


    "I heard from my sister-inw that your hometown is a little far from hers but you all went to the same college. What do you do now?"


    "I am an athlete. I run, I swim and most importantly, I beat people up." Daiyu said thest part in a low tone.


    YingPei leaned away and said to her with a frown, "Why do you keep talking about beating people up? No man will want you if you keep saying that."


    "I was only joking, are you scared of me?" Daiyu asked with a smile.


    "Why will I be scared of you?" YingPei said and looked away from her.


    Daiyu rxedfortably on her seat and said to him, "Actually, you don''t need to be scared of me. I am not thinking of beating you up. But if we engage in a fight, who do you think will win?"


    "You are still thinking of fighting? Do you like beating people up that much?" YingPei asked with an ugly gaze directed at her.


    Daiyu sighed. "Why are you so concerned? I already told you that I''m not thinking of beating anybody up. Just answer my question."


    Seeing her expectant gaze, YingPei actually believed that she must enjoy engaging in fights. Nevertheless, he scoffed and replied to her, "I will for sure. I''m not just a pretty face, I have some good muscles hidden. I exercise daily and I am a male."


    "We can''t really tell by mere verbal words, why don''t we engage in some activities to test our strength? I want to know who is stronger." Daiyu suggested.


    YingPei''s face turned uglier as he asked, "By engaging in a fight?"


    ''This woman must have been a warrior or a female general in her past life'' He thought as he stared hard at her.


    "No! We are going to do some activities like swimming, running, rock climbing and some other activities." Daiyu replied.


    She felt that it would be fun engaging in those kinds of activities with YingPei to test their strength and also for fun. She had no intentions of getting into a real fight with him, it''s not like she was crazy.


    Which woman asks for a fight just like that from the opposite gender? It''s not like she has nothing better to do.


    "That sounds interesting. But I feel that I''m going to be at a disadvantage because you are an athlete and you must be well vast with a lot of activities. This might be unfair to me." YingPei said after much thought.


    Her idea was great but he doesn''t engage in most of the activities she mentioned. He only runs daily and hits the gym at least once in 2 weeks or a month. He was afraid that he will lose if he can''t keep up with the activities.


    Daiyu chuckled with a hand over her mouth before asking with a taunting gaze, "Are you scared that I will beat you? It feels so refreshing to know that you are scared of a girl."


    "Who says that I''m scared of you because you are a girl? You are an athlete and I am not. It''s obvious that you engage in more of these activities than me, so I wouldn''t take the risk of losing to a professional in the field I don''t know much about." YingPei said and threw his face away.


    Just then, the waiter came over to serve their dishes.


    "You are right on one thing. You called me a professional and you are right about that. For this sake, I will give you some time to be vast in some of these outdoor activities. Then the next time we meet, we canpete to see who is stronger." Daiyu said inpromise.


    YingPei nodded in agreement before asking her to eat. "The food is here, so no more talks on violence. Let''s eat peacefully."


    "Violence can never go together with food." Daiyu said in agreement as she picked up her chopsticks and began to pick some side dishes for herself.


    After eating a few spoons of food, YingPei picked up a side dish Daiyu might like and put it in her rice bowl.


    "Here, try this and you might like it." He said with a smile and then paused with his eating and gazed at her expectantly. He looked like he couldn''t wait for her to try the food and tell him what she thought of it.


    Daiyu nced at the weird-looking side dish in her bowl before picking it up with her chopsticks to have a better view of it. Because of the way it was prepared, it looked weird, so she didn''t recognize it until she had a good look at it.


    Without asking questions, she put the dish into her mouth to it. 3 seconds into chewing, she realized how delicious the side dish tasted and nodded while smiling happily.


    "This is so nice, how did they make it?" Daiyu asked after swallowing the food in her mouth.


    "If you like it, you can try it a few more times." YingPei said while pointing at the te of the aids dish which was sitting in front of him.. He was happy to share.

 Chapter 537 - Jasmines Demand

    <h4>Chapter 537 - Jasmine''s Demand</h4>


    YingPei was expecting Daiyu to just eat a little of the side dish but she ended up carrying the te to her side, much to his surprise.


    "I gave you an inch and you took a mile, who asked you to take my food away?" YingPei asked.


    Without a care, Daiyu replied and continued to eat. "I''m sure you have eaten this so many times, so why don''t you give it up to me for today?"


    "What''s the use of asking now after you took it without my permission. You are really something else." YingPei muttered in a low tone and continued to eat.


    When their dinner ended, YingPei drove her back to the hotel.


    DanDan and Chang Chang who has been waiting for her arrival, immediately pulled her into their room as she attempted to knock on their door.


    "Can youdies take it easy? If I didn''t have stability, I would have fallen from your pulling." Daiyu said as she sat on the chair in the room.


    "How was your date? You didn''t show off your strength did you?" DanDan asked.


    "Did you offend Jia Li''s brother-inw?" Chang Chang asked.


    Daiyu shrugged off their hold on her and replied, "I was well behaved okay? The date went on well, we chatted and we dined."


    "When next are you two going to meet?" DanDan asked with a smile.


    "I''m not sure but it''s up to him." Daiyu replied. Her response was based on when YingPei would be through with his training since they were going topete in some of the activities she listed for him.


    Whenever he was ready topete with her, that would be the next time they would meet.


    "I just hope that you created a good impression." Chang Chang said with a smile.


    "Hey! Don''t you two have faith in me? I created a good impression." Daiyu replied. Normally, her personality is not what all men would like and she was aware of that. But she did try to be herself and that should be a good of enough impression.


    "We have to tell Jia Li this good news, she is going to be shocked to learn that you are dating her brother-inw." DanDan said excitedly.


    "No way! We can''t interrupt their honeymoon. When shees back, we can tell her." Daiyu said immediately.


    Jia Li whom they were just talking about, was trying to get some sleep when her little bun came to disturb her.


    "Mummy, wake up!" Jasmine said as she shook her hand vigorously to the best of her strength.


    The little girl was standing on the floor while shaking her mother''s hand. Her brows were furrowed just like whenever her father gets annoyed.


    Jia Li didn''t bulge. She was tired and needed this rest, so she continued toy on the bed with her eyes closed.


    Seeing that her mother wouldn''t move, Jasmine stopped shaking her arms and started to hit her arm. "Mummy!" she called out again.


    Jia Li frowned in her sleep. With the little girl calling for her while hitting her, she couldn''t continue sleeping. She slowly opened her eyes to see the annoyed little girl staring at her.


    "Jasmine, what do you want?" Jia Li asked in a groggy tone. She seemed displeased for being disturbed while sleeping. If Jasmine had grown to a certain age, Jia Li would have given her a clear warning.


    "I want to go outside!" Jasmine said. The little girl still looked annoyed because of the effort it took her to wake her mother up.


    "Why do you want to go outside? Jia Li asked with a frown. ''Why would she want to outside?'' Jia Li thought.


    Jasmine replied enthusiastically, "I want to y."


    Jia Li exhaled deeply. She was stillying on the bed without moving while replying, "Where is your Daddy?"


    "Bathroom." Jasmine replied.


    "Then wait for him toe out." Jia Li replied and closed her eyes.


    How could the little girl let her go back to sleep when her request has not been met? Jasmine immediately pulled her arm and called out to her in an annoyed tone, "Mummy!!"


    If the little girl had her way, she would have climbed up the bed and then she can have better ess to her mother.


    "Jasmine can you go away, I want to sleep." Jia Li said without opening her eyes. At this point, she just wished her daughter would stop disturbing her and allow her to sleep.


    "No! Mummy..." Jasmine said with scrunched-up brows but Jia Li did not reply to her again, so she attempted to climb up the bed but failed. The little girl was on the verge of crying when Fu Hua came out of the bathroom.


    Seeing the little girl trying to climb up the bed in a failed attempt, Fu Hua smiled and called out to her, "Princess, what are you doing? I told you not to disturb your mummy."


    Before going into the bathroom, Fu Hua had told the little girl not to disturb her mother who was sleeping. He had told her to wait for him to bathe ande out so he can take her out, but it looks like the girl was not obedient when he went away.


    "Daddy, I want to go outside." Jasmine said with a worried gaze while fiddling with her little fingers. She disobeyed her father and now she was worried that he won''t let her go outside again.


    Fu Hua sighed and stretched out his hand to her. "Come here."


    When Jasmine came to his side and took his hand, he said to her in a gentle tone, "I will take you outside."


    Jasmine nodded and then turned to nce at her mother before asking, "What of mummy?"


    "Your mummy is tired, let her get some rest but we will buy something for her as we are going back." Jia Li replied as he took her to get her boots.


    After helping her to put it on, he put her jacket on her before lifting her in his arms.. He picked up his phone and wallet before leaving the room with her.

 Chapter 538 - Back To China

    Chapter 538 - Back To China


    When Jia Li woke up from a nap, the father and daughter were not back yet, so she got off the bed and went to the bathroom to wash her face before going back to the bedroom to pick up her phone and dialing Fu Hua''s number.


    She wanted to know where they were so she called.


    "Your daughter is hard to please. We went to a store, we will be right back." Fu Hua replied over the phone.


    "Okay, I will order dinner for us." Jia Li replied before getting off the phone.


    Jia Limunicated with the hotel for their dinner through the inte before going to have a shower. After her shower, she picked up her sketchbook and a fashion magazine and went to the sitting room to work.


    While going through the fashion magazine, she was trying to see if she could get inspiration from looking at the styles there, so she could immediately put down her new idea and concept.


    The father and daughter returned half an hourter with two servants carrying their shop bags. And Jasmine had an ice cream cone in her hand.


    Immediately the little girl saw her mother, she called out to her happily and showed off her ice cream.


    "Did you have fun outside?" Jia Li asked with a smile as she stared at the father and daughter from where she was sitting.


    Jasmine nodded in response and went on to lick her ice cream. Fu Hua carried the little girl towards the couch Jia Li was sitting and sat there.


    "You were sleeping and we didn''t want to disturb you, so we left." Fu Hua exined with a smiling gaze.


    "If I didn''t love that little girl, I would have probably bundled her up and gifted her to someone for disturbing my sleep." Jia Li said.


    Fu Hua chuckled and said, "You don''t have any right to give our child away. Don''t worry, she won''t disturb your sleep next time unless it''s urgent."


    "I need to change her diaper." Jia Li said with her gaze on the little bun who was licking her Ice cream happily from her father''s arms.


    Fu Hua nced at the little girl sitting on his thighs before ncing back at Jia Li to say, "You know you are going to cause trouble by asking her to stop licking her Ice cream just to change her diaper."


    Asking Jasmine to put down her ice cream to change her diapers? Seriously, Jia Li must have forgotten her little bun''s nature but it''s good Fu Hua reminded her of that.


    "I suddenly got an inspiration for my illustration and I hope nothing would distract me once I get back to work." Jia Li said.


    She wanted to change Jasmine''s diaper before their dinner arrives, so immediately after dinner, she can continue sketching.


    Fu Hua nced at the sketchbook in her hand and asked, "Have you been drawing?"


    "Not really. I just have one dress ready." Jia Li replied with her gaze on her sketchbook.


    Some minutester, their dinner arrived and was served in the small dining room. Since Jasmine had a lot of fun outside earlier, she didn''t eat much because she wasn''t hungry.


    The little bun greedily finished licking her Ice cream all by herself and now her stomach was protruding.


    When the little girl was done eating, Mei took her out to have a bath before she was dressed in her sleeping dress.


    After dinner with Fu Hua, Jia Li stayed back in the living room and continued with her illustration, while Fu Hua went to the bedroom to put the little girl to sleep and stay with her.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua spent the rest of their honeymoon having a lot of fun with Jasmine interfering in their alone time with her troubles.


    The family of three took so many pictures together and Fu Hua shared a picture of the mother and daughter on his social media pages.


    Jia Li only posted one picture from their honeymoon and that was a picture of her holding her little girl in her arms and Fu Hua holding her waist. There was a big smile on their faces when the photo was clicked by Mei.


    Some of Jia Li''s fans asked her why she only posted one picture from her honeymoon while Fu Hua posted so many pictures. But someone else replied thatment saying that Jia Li had a quiet personality and doesn''t like to show off if there was no need.


    Someone else asked her to make a live video one day so they could interact more with her.


    Someone else said that she hoped Jia Li would post pictures of herself from time to time.


    In all of her posts, her personal pictures were not more than 5. And because her innocence was loved, people wanted to see more photos of her.


    Many people wanted to see more pictures of the family of three and especially pictures of the little bun.


    Not long after, the family of three returned to China with their servants and the gifts they brought for each member of the family.


    After spending the weekend at home to get over the jetg, Jia Li and Fu Hua went back to work the next day which was Monday.


    It was d to have Jia Li back to the office for her colleagues swarmed around her immediately she arrived at work in the morning. Jia Li''s small office could barely amodate her colleagues who came to see her all at once.


    To Jia Li, this proved that she was loved by her colleagues who have missed her for more than a week now. Most of them have not seen her since her wedding, while a few haven''t seen her since thest time came to work before her wedding.


    People like Mari¨¦ who didn''t attend Jia Li''s wedding haven''t seen her since thest time she came to work.


    During their lunch break, Jia Li gave a honeymoon souvenir to some of her colleagues who she was close to and also her superior like Sunny.


    When Sunny received the wrapped gift, she smiled and said to Jia Li, "You are so thoughtful, thank you for the gift."

 Chapter 539 - A Chance Encounter

    Chapter 539 - A Chance Encounter


    In the sweetest month of the year for some people, Meixu had a chance encounter with Shi Qiao who in a part of her heart, has been regretting dumping him.


    Meixu attended Actress Yangmei''s birthday party in the middle of May along with other high-profile celebrities and big businessmen.


    It turned out that Shi Qiao was a rtive of Yangmei which was a shock to Meixu who wouldn''t stop gazing at him after Yangmei officially introduced him to some of her friends in the industry after he came up to greet her.


    After leaving the circle, Meixu went to have a drink somewhere by herself when Shi Qiao walked up to her.


    "You looked shocked to see me here tonight." Shi Qiao said with a slight smile as he came to stand beside her with his hands in his front trouser pockets.


    Meixu heard the familiar voice and turned to nce at him.


    "It''s nice to see you again." Meixu said with an ugly smile. She couldn''t believe that Shi Qiao would be present at today''s party and that he would somehow be rted to Yangmei.


    Shi Qiao sat on the stool next to her and said, "Are you sure it''s nice to see me again because your countenance says otherwise."


    "My countenance it''s not for you to mind. I am already shocked learning that you are rted to Sister Yangmei." Meixu said to him.


    "And does that bother you?" Shi Qiao quickly asked as he continued to gaze at her.


    Meixu scoffed and picked up her wine ss. "Why would it bother me, it''s not like there is any rtionship between us." After saying that, she drank the whole content of her wine ss before cing an order for another one.


    "Meixu, I still don''t understand the reason you dumped me. I mean, I was your friend but you decided to end our friendship after I had already apologized for Zhi Ruo''s ill-treatment against you."


    "Are you dumb or something? Don''t tell me you had no idea I got close to you to deal with Zhi Ruo?" Meixu asked with a frown.


    Shi Qiao was quiet but he didn''t seem to be surprised by her confession. After studying his unchanging gaze, Meixu''s frown deepened. "You already knew?"


    "Is that a surprise to you? Look Meixu, I''m not dumb as you thought. I knew you had discords with Shi Qiao and I guessed that you might want to get close to me in order to get back at my ex. To my surprise, you approached me in a different way. I thought you would try to seduce me so I will dump Zhi Ruo and date you but you approached me as a friend." Shi Qiao said with a smile.


    Meixu was really surprised by this revtion. She had no idea that he had always known her ns for getting close to him but he chose to remain quiet. His past actions made her look like a fool because he already knew her ns but acted as if he was ignorant of them all. This got Meixu really angry.


    With an angry gaze directed at him, Meixu asked, "Are you saying that you knew my ns all along and kept quiet about it? What did you take me for?"


    "Hey... Don''t tell me you''re angry. When I found out about your intentions, I wasn''t angry, I only found it interesting but now, after revealing the truth to you, you are angry? Did you forget I was a human being when you wanted to use me to achieve your goals?" Shi Qiao asked with a frown.


    "Still, that doesn''t give you the right to make fun of me. You already knew about my intentions when I approached you but you chose not to speak up or expose me and that shows that it was well situated by you." Meixu said in a raised tone.


    Shi Qiao nodded and said, "I know that your pride would be hurt when you learn of this because after all, you had a well thought out n there. Actually, I don''t hold any grudges against you because I genuinely weed your ns and I liked you. I thought you liked me as well but to my surprise, you ended our friendship after your ns worked out. Don''t you think that you are in the wrong for using people and dumping them after achieving your goals?"


    "Who are you to teach me what is wrong and right?" Meixu asked with an ugly facial expression. Meixu was still angry after finding out that her ns were found out the moment her game started. She thought she was taken as a fool by Shi Qiao because he watched her y by herself even after knowing her intentions.


    This situation didn''t sit well with her. She didn''t even care about the feelings she was starting to develop for him after learning about this. At this moment with the way she was feeling, she didn''t want to ever set her eyes on him again.


    "I guess your pride must be really hurt. I just wanted to tell you the truth because I don''t want to keep secrets from you since I already have in mind of having a fresh start with you." Shi Qiao said.


    Meixu''s facial expression turned more ugly when she heard him say he wanted them to have a fresh start. "Who do you want to have a fresh start with?" She asked with a re.


    "With you of course. I never saw you as a friend the moments we spent together but I respected your decision. It''s been a long time since we ended our past rtionship, so why don''t we start afresh with another rtionship? This time around, not as friends but as lovers?" Shi Qiao asked with a serious gaze.


    His intentions were pure and clear. He liked Meixu and would like to be together with her but it looks like his intentions didn''t sit well with her.


    Meixu at the moment, looked as if she would murder him anytime soon.


    "Mr. Shi, I think we should stay away from each other from now henceforth. If we are going through the same route, there would be no need for pleasantries.." Fu Meixu said and walked away from his sight.

 Chapter 540 - Punishment That You Deserve

    <h4>Chapter 540 - Punishment That You Deserve</h4>


    Fu Meixu was so pissed off after her encounter with Shi Qiao to the point that she began to wonder if she was crazy to think about missing him.


    A few dayster in the Suarez family, Mr. Suarez''swyer came by.


    Mr. Suarez was going to talk about his assets and his will with hiswyer and nobody in the family knew about it aside from Feng Alix who overheard his conversation with hiswyer abouting over to talk about it.


    For the past few days since Alix overheard that conversation, she has been working really hard to get on her old husband''s good books.


    Today, thewyer came by and he was immediately ushered into a smaller sitting room by one of the bodyguards the moment he arrived.


    Alix was bothered by the tight security over there. She could see two bodyguards guarding the hallway to that sitting room where the important meeting was going on.


    "What secrets ns is he hiding from us?" Feng Alix muttered to herself.


    As she couldn''t stand being shut outside, Alix went into the kitchen to exercise her authority.


    "My husband and hiswyer are in a meeting, why haven''t you sent over some snacks and drinks?" Feng Alix asked in an authoritative tone.


    The chief servant said in a worried tone, "The bodyguards won''t let us cross that ce. They said Master doesn''t need our services."


    "Nonsense!" Feng Alix said angrily before continuing... "I am the mistress of this family and you will only listen to me and my husband. Right now, you need to prepare snacks and tea and get ready to send them over to them."


    The servants were scared of her request. They didn''t want to disrespect her, not that they were afraid of her but because she was still favored by their master. Disrespecting her would be a p to his face and they end up getting punished or sacked and they can''t let that happen.


    "Ma''am, Master will punish us if wee close, who is going to take responsibility if we are punished?" The chief servant asked.


    Feng Alix smiled to herself because this was not a problem for her. In fact, she has been wanting them to ask that question.


    Alix feigned a deep annoyance and said to them, "What are you all afraid of? I will go with you to serve the tea and snacks, hurry up and get them ready, I will be in the dining, call me when they are ready."


    After leaving out that instruction, she walked away and went to the smaller dining room to sit, while the servants got to work.


    Most of the family members who had businesses were already out, it was just two or three of her step-grandchildren were around.


    Today was Thursday, which was a weekday and not a weekend, so those that have jobs are out.


    It was very peaceful for Feng Alix to stay at home during the weekdays when everyone have left the house. Then, she will have the right to fully control the servants and do what she wants to do without anyone interrupting her.


    When the snacks and tea were ready, Feng Alix followed the servants to deliver them to her husband.


    When they got to the entrance where the two bodyguards were standing, they were stopped, and Feng Alix immediately red up.


    "How dare you stop me from meeting my husband, are you out of your mind?" She asked angrily with her gazes on them.


    "I''m sorry Ma''am but we can''t let you or anyone go over there. Masters'' instruction was that no one is allowed entry until the meeting with hiswyer is over." One of the bodyguards exined in a strong tone.


    "Do I look like I''m just anyone?" Feng Alix asked angrily. She felt that she is looked down on. Well, her husband''s bodyguards were always like this when they were on an instruction. They don''t mind if you are a child to Mr. Suarez or a friend, they only listen to him.


    The other bodyguards nced at her and said, "I''m sorry Ma''am but we can''t let you go through."


    Feng Alix was pissed off. Forget about trying to eavesdrop on the conversation between her husband and hiswyer, she can''t ept the fact of being shamed in front of the servants that were behind her, Never!


    Since they didn''t want her to go through peacefully, then she has no choice that to enter forcefully.


    Feng Alix tried to walk past them, but they blocked her with their arms and so she hit them with her hands but she ended getting hurt.


    "Are you not moving?!" She shouted in Chinese as she red at them but no reply came from them.


    "Fine! Since you all want to be punished today, then you will receive the punishment that you deserve!" As Feng Alix said this, she picked up an empty wine ss with her hand, before letting it fall on the floor.


    The ss made a shattering sound as it fell on the tiled floor. The bodyguards didn''t see thising. Their brows furrowed in annoyance as they nced at the shattered time ss on the floor and the smile on Alix''s face.


    There was a satisfactory smile sitting on Alix''s face when Mr. Suarez and hiswyer came out to see what happened.


    "What''s going on here?!" Mr. Suarez asked angrily. The ss shattering interrupted his conversation with hiswyer. They were having a very important discussion right before they heard the noise.


    Seeing that her husband looked angrily, Alix pretended to be scared and harassed by his bodyguards and quickly ran to his side to grab his arm.


    "Honey, what kind of people do you allow to be your bodyguards? I brought you some snacks but they wouldn''t let me in. If they wouldn''t even let me in, does that show that they respect me as your wife?"


    Mr. Suarez sighed before exining to her, "Actually, I asked them not to let anyonee over because I have an important discussion with mywyer, I didn''t want any distractions."


    Feng Alix already knew about it, but she added, "Did you also ask them to touch me?"

 Chapter 541 - Must Be Kept A Secret

    <h4>Chapter 541 - Must Be Kept A Secret</h4>


    "Did they touch you?" Mr. Suarez asked as he red at the bodyguards who seemed surprised by the usation.


    The servants were shocked as well. They felt that Alix was being unreasonable by using the innocent bodyguards of what they didn''t do.


    Feng Alix nced at the bodyguards that were staring at her and said, "Of course they did. Their hands touched my skin."


    Alix was putting on a crop top, so a small area of her stomach could be seen. When she had tried to walk through the hallway and the bodyguards blocked her off, the skin on her stomach area had touched their hands.


    Logically, the bodyguards didn''t touch her, she was the one that tried to push their hands away, and her stomach ended up being grazed by their hands.


    Mr. Suarez sent the bodyguards to go out and receive their punishments before turning to nce at Alix who was still grabbing his arm.


    "Next time, don''t disobey my orders. If I tell anyone not toe close, then you need to obey it."


    Alix was surprised that he was reprimanding her right after sending the servants. She let go of his arm and asked with a hurt expression on her face, "Are you scolding me right now? I was worried about you being hungry and thirsty over the long conversation you were having with yourwyer, so I asked the servants to make you something so I can send them to you but you are here scolding me."


    The youngwyer by the side nced at Feng Alix and looked away. He even scoffed silently.


    "I have told you not to worry about me that I am fine!" Mr. Suarez said in an annoyed tone. Alix''s love and care were beginning to piss him off. He didn''t want her looking after him like he was a child but he doesn''t seem to get her.


    Feng Alix was surprised that her old husband was actually angry at her because of the affection she was showing to him. "So I did bad by caring for you? There is no problem, I won''t care about you again. Nobody in this house cares about you more than I do but it looks like my effort is not much appreciated."


    After saying that, Alix asked the servants to clean up the messed-up ce and take the snacks, tea and wine back to the kitchen before walking away with tears in her eyes.


    When she left, Mr. Suarez nced towards the direction she walked away to and sighed. He was now beginning to feel bad for treating her that way.


    He was old and it''s true that nobody in his family cares for him the way Alix does. Whether her affections were fake or real, at least she was putting on a lot of effort, unlike his family that didn''t care.


    They had a lot of servants to look after him anyway.


    "Do you think I was too harsh on her?" Mr. Suarez asked hiswyer who didn''t seem to express any other emotion other than being displeased by Alix''s y.


    "You were not too harsh on her, it''s good for her to learn the rules and follow them." Hiswyer said.


    After Mr. Suarez and hiswyer went back to the small sitting room, the servants cleared up the ce, and now, nobody was left guarding the hallway, so Alix came back sneakily.


    She took off her slippers and carried them in her hand while tiptoeing to the door of the small sitting room, Mr. Suarez was having a discussion with hiswyer.


    Seeing that her coast was clear, Alix ced her ear on the door to listen to their conversation. She did that in time to hear thewyer''s voice.


    "What about Ms. Alix, you''re not leaving any shares for her?"


    ''They are already talking about thepany shares?'' Alix thought with surprise. This part was very important to hear. With the way thewyer asked that question, she didn''t want to specte that something was wrong, but her heartbeats were already elerating speedily.


    Mr. Suarez was quiet for a while before replying. "No, I will not give any shares to her."


    Feng Alix was so shocked by the information she just heard. She couldn''t believe that her old husband didn''t want to give her any of hispany shares. She was shocked and she felt a pain in her chest. She was heartbroken and anger filled her heart.


    Mr. Suarez thought for a while before adding, "If I give her some of thepany shares, there will be a big fight in the family. They might kill her off. Already, I promised my children not to give anypany shares to any other woman I will marry and that''s the only way the wedding was allowed to go through. If I go back on my words, I can''t imagine the fight that will break out."


    "Don''t you feel that Ms. Alix would be angry and heartbroken to learn about your decision, after all, she is your wife?" Thewyer asked.


    "And that is the reason this meeting must be kept a secret. I don''t want her to feel bad. Topensate her, I will give her $10,000,000 and a small vi in the countryside. With my connection, she can have a job anywhere she wants but she can''t work in mypany." Mr. Suarez said with a bitter gaze.


    He has thought things through. Alix can''t get any of hispany shares, and she can''t work in any of hispanies because of his family. He didn''t want her to be a target by his angry family when he does since they hated her, so he had to make the best ns possible for everyone but Alix who heard everything didn''t seem to appreciate his concerns.


    Not only that, Alix was not going to live in the big family vis with the rest of the family after her husband''s death. She was going to move out after his burial to the small vi he would put in her name.


    As she listened further, she learned that she will not be allowed to sell that vi even if she doesn''t want to live there.

 Chapter 542 - Familiarity

    <h4>Chapter 542 - Familiarity</h4>


    After Alix returned to her bedroom she destroyed so many things there in order to vent her anger before leaving the house.


    When Mr. Suarez learned of themotion, he sighed and asked the servants to rece everything she destroyed before she returns.


    Feng Alix in anger drove straight to a small familiar vi. It''s been a long time since she was there but she was able to recognize the road from one of the texts from an unsaved contact in her phone.


    After she got to the small Vi, she parked her car and got out of it. Because she was already popr as the young wife of Mr. Suarez and also because of the rtionship the owner of the house has with the Suarez family, she was allowed inside and taken to the sitting room to sit and wait over a ss of wine as per her order.


    Although the person she came to find wasn''t there, she had the patience to wait because she knew exactly where he was but chose toe to his ce to confront him.


    About 40 minutester, the youngwyer of Mr. Suarez returned to his house only to see the familiar car parked outside of his vi.


    He stepped out of his car and walked to Alix''s car to take a good look at it. "She is definitely living a good life."


    When he walked into the sitting room with his work bag in one hand and the other hand in his trouser pocket, he saw Alix drinking a ss of red wine with her legs crossed and the bottle of wine was on the stool next to her.


    "Whenst did youe here and you are already making yourself at home, Mrs. Suarez?" He asked as he came to stand before her.


    Alix nced at him and asked in an annoyed tone, "What took you so long toe back?"


    "After you made a mess of your room, you came to mine to make a mess of it or what? What did youe to see me for?" He asked with a smirk on his lips.


    Alix downed the remaining content of the ss and put it on the stool before gazing at him to ask, "What is the content of my husband''s will?"


    Thewyer stared at her in surprise for a few seconds beforeughing out loud. "I have been thinking the reason you remembered to visit me after a long time and it turns out that it''s because of the will. Mrs. Suarez, I''m sorry to disappoint you but my conversation with Mr. Suarez about his Will, it''s confidential information, so I can''t tell you about it. But if you want to know about it so badly, you can go back to your home and ask him directly about it."


    Alix smiled and poured another ss of wine for herself. As she swirled the ss gently, she said to him with her gaze on the wine. "He said not to give me anypany shares. He said I''m not allowed to work in the familypany. He is only nning on leaving me with money and a vi I can''t sell? What does he take me for, a mistress?"


    As Alix said thest sentence, she turned to nce at thewyer with reddened eyes.


    "Actually, $10,000,000 and a small vi with servants at your beck and call, it''s a lot to give to a mistress." Thewyer said as he sat on another couch.


    Alix red at thewyer and said to him, "Carlos, I am already pissed off as it is, don''t infuriate me further."


    "Since you know what he Willed to you, what did youe to my ce for? Don''t tell me you suddenly find my embrace afort zone?" Carlos asked with a wicked smile.


    "As if!" Alix snorted and looked away.


    "Don''t you miss the good old times between us? I must say that you really are an ambitious woman for dumping me and jumping right into Mr. Suarez''s arms." Carlos said as he stared hard at her.


    "You were not what I was looking for when ites to terms of wealth and power." Alix said.


    Carlos scoffed, "As Mr. Suarez''swyer, can''t you tell that I have connections and power? But you wanted more than that. You were greedy for more wealth, so you dumped me and ran straight to him after I told you he was my Boss in thest party west attended together."


    Alix and Carlos dated for a short while before Alix met Mr. Suarez at a party she went to with Carlos. There, Carlos had introduced Alix to Mr. Suarez as a big business tycoon.


    From their conversation, Alix caught the man''s w. He liked younger women and any young woman that manages to catch his attention would forever be lucky.


    When Alix heard all that, she gave a shot at it and she was lucky enough to catch the attention of Mr. Suarez.


    "At least I got the benefits of getting married to Mr. Suarez. Money to spend whenever I wanted, connection to get whatever I wanted done and the public attention, it was sure that it." Alix replied and looked away.


    Carlos decided to taunt her after what she said, "What about the great s*x and this young rock-hard body, didn''t you miss it for that soft pot belly and probably bad s*x?"


    "Don''t remind me of my ugly experiences in the bed. I didn''t marry that old man just to receive this penny after his death." Alix said angrily.


    Normally, Mr. Suarez would only y or keep the young women he liked as his mistress but Alix suggested they have a marriage because she thought she would receive a lot of benefits from his will if she became his wife.


    Now that she wasn''t given any shares, the anger in her heart knew no bounds. She felt that she has been short-changed. A young woman like her in her early 30s (31 years) married a man in histe 70s, that was definitely not love.


    She wanted to use him but it looks like she failed.

 Chapter 543 - Jia Lis Idea

    <h4>Chapter 543 - Jia Li''s Idea</h4>


    "What you received is not a penny. That''s a lot of money to set you up for life. Even if you don''t want to work, you can slowly spend the money until you die." Carlos said and crossed his legs


    "But that doesn''t seem to satisfy me. That is not enoughpensation for sleeping with an old man like him, I can''t tell how many times I have been disgusted with him but I have to put up with it." Alix said with a big frown on her face.


    It was a very big lie that she loved Mr. Suarez. Her haters were right, she was with him because of his wealth but little did they know that her ambition was far greater than that.


    She not only wanted his money but she also wanted some of hispany shares and a position in one of thepanies.


    "You haven''t told me why you came to my ce, are you not scared that your husband will find out?" Carlos asked.


    "He doesn''t tail you, so I''m sure he would never find out if you don''t tell. I came here for a reason, I want you to change his will." Alix said and sipped her wine.


    "What!" Carlos eximed in shock. He is really shocked knowing how crazy and greedy Alix can be.


    Back in China, Jia Li who had just finished showering came to join Fu Hua on the bed.


    "Darling, Jasmine will be 2 years old soon, let''s gift her something nice and cool." Jia Li said with a big smile.


    Fu Hua smiled back at her and said, "I will do anything for my Princess. But the way you are smiling, it seems you already have a suggestion. Quick, out with it."


    "You really know me well." Jia Li said with a smiling gaze


    "Even a stranger will know with that grin on your face. Tell me what you want for her birthday." Fu Hua said.


    Jia Liid on his chest and put her right hand inside his clothe to caress his chest while speaking, "Let''s build a house for her."


    "A house?" Fu Hua asked with interest.


    "Yes. The house will have a living room, dining room, a kitchen and a bedroom." Jia Li exined. She has been thinking about what to get the little girl as a birthday gift and finally thought about it.


    Fu Hua nodded and said, "This sounds fun but what would she be doing in that house, she will surely cause a disaster there."


    "Look at you, you are seeing things differently. I don''t just want to give Jasmine a house, I want to y house games with her. She will learn to wash tes, clean, make her bed and even cook." Jia Li said.


    Since Jasmine was still small to do any chores in the house and besides, nobody in the family will let her do that when there are so many servants in the house. Even she hasn''t been allowed to do any work in the house, so obviously, Jasmine the little princess of the family won''t be allowed to do anything.


    Building a small house for her, will not only be for fun but also educative. She will learn to clean on her own, not minding her age. When she grows up, it won''t be a hassle to teach her how to keep herself and her environment clean.


    The Fu family will surely ept this method of teaching her.


    Fu Hua agreed to her exnations and began to look forward to it. "I will design some princess dresses for her to keep in her bedroom."


    "That will be cool. I already have a theme in mind for her next birthday. A day before her birthday, we will visit the orphanage with toys and food and you will have toe with us." Jia Li said to him.


    "Sure, I will be there for my Queen and Princess. Do you want anything special for your birthday?" Fu Hua asked.


    When Jasmine''s birthday is mentioned, to Jia Li, it doesn''t seem that day also belongs to her. Sometimes, she would forget that day belongs to her as well and will end up nning for her little girl and leave herself out of it. But no matter how she forgets, her loved ones and her fans would never forget.


    "Nothing, I just want you to help me n Jasmine''s birthday. Your task is to look up some of the children''s houses on the. When you study them, you should be able toe up with a design in mind for Jasmine''s house. I want you to design Jasmine''s house and give it to thepany that will construct and set it up here. When you are done with the building n and design, we can look at them together. Jasmine can not choose most of the colors she would like, so we will do that with her."


    It''s really going to be fun for the family of three to work on the small house together. This will be fun, interactive and also an opportunity to spend time together.


    Fu Hua was okay with all the arrangements and even kissed her face for the great idea she has.


    "You really are a great mother to Jasmine. You are always thinking about her no matter how busy you are." Fu Hua said as he hugged Jia Li close to his chest.


    "My familyes first, before any other thing. I can''t abandon my baby no matter how busy I am, I will always think of her." Jia Li said with a big smile with her eyes closed.


    Fu Hua saw that her eyes were closed and she was still caressing his chest, so he decided to tease her.


    "You are indeed a good mother but for a good wife? I will have to think about it twice before saying anything. I mean, how can you be touching me whileying on me, are trying to stir up something?"


    Jia Li replied without moving an inch, "Can''t I touch you without you feeling anything?"


    "That would mean that my sensory cells are dead!"

 Chapter 544 - Hot Night

    <h4>Chapter 544 - Hot Night</h4>


    (WARNING: Whole Chapter rated 18 ??)


    "That would mean that my sensory cells are dead!"


    As Fu Hua said that, he stretched his hand towards Jia Li''s legs slipped his fingers inside her nightdress and began to caress her thighs.


    Jia Li felt tickled by his actions andughed out loud while trying to push him away but he was holding onto her tightly with one hand, while the other hand continued to caress her thighs.


    "Darling, can you stop!" Jia Li said willughing out loud.


    "Why should I stop? Now you understand what I meant by my cells are not dead and it looks like yours are still very much alive." Fu Hua said.


    When she was touching him, she didn''t care if he was turned on and now that it was his turn, she wanted to run away.


    "I''m sorry, I won''t do it again." Jia Li pleaded while wriggling her body inughter.


    How could Fu Hua let her go when he was feeling good while touching her? "I don''t care if you are sorry or not, I must be satisfied before I let you go."


    As Fu Hua said that, he managed to pry open her legs which she closed tightly and slipped his fingers in between there to touch her small wetness.


    Jia Li felt goosebumps when he slipped his fingers in-between her legs to touch her sensitive area which belonged to her and him.


    "You... you''re going too far..." Jia Li stuttered as she mped her legs together to stop his fingers from touching her there, while still gazing at him.


    Fu Hua''s gaze lost its casualness and yfulness and became darker. His gaze darkened and the more he stared at her and felt her wetness, he wanted more than just to tease her. He wanted her and he was getting hard down there.


    As his erection throbbed, he slipped his fingers out from her core and when She thought he was finally going to stop despite that sexy gaze he fixed on her, he suddenly turned her over and pressed his body on hers.


    Jia Li was not wearing anything underneath the nightdress she was putting on, so apparently, he was naked and as Fu Hua felt her body, he enjoyed the softness and the natural scent from her body.


    Before Jia Li could say a word just after she had opened her mouth to convince him to give up on the idea of s*x that night, Fu Hua who had been seeking the perfect opportunity to gain full ess to her small lips, immediately leaned in and slipped his tongue inside her mouth and kisses her senseless.


    Not only was he giving her hot kisses but his hands were also roaming all over her body until it reached for the soft big mounts on her chest, and squeezed them gently until she moaned into his mouth.


    Since things havee to this, Jia Li didn''t struggle and could only give in to him. There was no need to try to stop him when she was already aroused and very wet down there, he had to be allowed to quench the burning fire raging inside of her before he can stop.


    Finally, Fu Hua took a break from her lips and put his elsewhere. From her lips, he trained kisses to her neck and earlobe before going down her neckline again, and down to her chest.


    Without adjusting her gown, he ced his head in-between the two big mounts on her chest and rubbed his face there, before going on to stick his tongue out to caress her nipples from the thin lining of her nightdress, which aroused her further.


    After ying with her nipples, Fu Hua moved his body away from her. He kneeled in-between her legs and went on to roll her dress up to her stomach area, and only then did he stop, and paused to admire her thick thighs and her inner juicy honeb which he had thought of devouring soon.


    When the air hit her sensitive part after Fu Hua rolled her dress to her stomach, Jia Li attempted to close her legs but she couldn''t because Fu Hua was kneeling in between her legs.


    Thinking that his next action was him slipping inside her after fingering her, she rxed.


    Slowly, Fu Hua moved his middle finger up her thigh, before slowly tracing its way to her core. Slipping his finger deep inside of her, he found out it was loose and he immediately added another finger which seemed to fit perfectly, before starting to move them in and out of her while he enjoyed her moaning.


    As Jia Li moaned with her eyes closed while moving her body because of pleasure, Fu Hua leaned in to hiss her lips hungrily before moving his face to the ce in-between her legs.


    Jia Li noticed the little movements, and slowly opened her eyes only to see where his face was heading to. She became frightened, out of the great pleasure she would experience when he uses his mouth to pleasure her and tried to close her legs.


    Fu Hua caused in his actions and slipped his fingers out and fixed his deep gaze on her. That pause was a warning to her to stop what she was doing but Jia Li did not agree with him. She asked in a sultry tone, "Don''t..."


    Fu Hua was already aware that she was trying to stop him, so he shushed her.


    "Shhh.... be good and open your legs."


    That kind ofmand came out in the right situation and the right manner. He was clearly asking her to open her legs so he could eat her up. How could she listen to him? Well, she did because she was already too excited and needed to cool off.


    But knowing the kind of pleasure and excitement that came with what he was about to do, and that got her a little scared.


    Fu Hua understood her clearly andpelled her to open her legs while helping her to make it faster.. Finally, when her legs were opened, he leaned in to give her a lick, which caused her to shudder and moan out loud.

 Chapter 545 - A Limit

    <h4>Chapter 545 - A Limit</h4>


    After the first lick, Fu Hua blew air inside her which made her weave her fingers through his hair in pleasure.


    Still intentionally teasing her, Fu Hua went on to eat her up with his mouth before pulling his pajamas and sliding his hot erection deep inside of her.


    Fu Hua was gentle for the first 30 seconds. But after that, he wasn''t gentle anymore but he wasn''t rough.


    As he continuously moved in and out of her with a little speed, he moaned along with her, also a little out of breath.


    This hot young blooded couple went at it for over an hour before finally calling it a night. They bought showers together beforeying in bed in their night outfits.


    Jia Li was already dozing off immediately her head hit Fu Hua''s chest. As Fu Hua hugged her with one hand, he gazed at her sleeping face and smiled hard before kissing her forehead.


    Thousands our miles away in a faraway country, Alix moaned as Carlos released and got off her toy beside her on the bed.


    The two of them were a little out of breath after an intense sexual exercise.


    "I haven''t had a good s*x in a long time." Alix said a little breathlessly.


    Carlos turned to nce at her and said, "I''m surprised a woman like you know what being faithful is. You were with him for a long time without looking outside until now."


    "It''s not that I didn''t want to cheat on him but because there was no opportunity to do that."


    Throughout the time Alix was with Mr. Suarez until now, she has never cheated on him but the reason was that she was always going out with him or going out to parties where everyone knew her rtionship with him, so she didn''t have the opportunity to cheat on him.


    Now that her sexual desire has been satisfied, she looked a little happy.


    "Are you satisfied now?" Carlos asked.


    Feng Alix nced at him and said with a frown, "How can I be satisfied? I haven''t had a good s*x since I left you, and that''s quite a long time. Today, I will only leave after my desires have been satiated."


    A smile appeared on Carlos''s face as he asked, "Are you not afraid that it will be found out that you cheated on tie husband? I''m sure his family is still looking for ways to get rid of you."


    "I don''t care. It feels good to cheat on someone. It''s fun and exciting, especially to someone that you don''t love." Alix said and had a goodugh after.


    "You are lucky that I agreed to satisfy you after all you did to me," Carlos said. It wasn''t his intention to sleep with her but she seduced him and he couldn''t resist the temptation.


    He was more after satisfying his desires than worrying about the fact that she had left him for an older man because of greed.


    "You are good in bed but you are not better than my ex. His body is as sturdy as a horse and just a touch of his finger can set my entire body on fire. Anytime I think about the fact that he is sleeping with another woman, touching her the way he used to touch me and even treating her better than he used to treat me, I get so angry that I just want to kill that woman and get rid of her for good." Alix confessed as her gaze darkened.


    Anytime she thought about Fu Hua being together with Jia Li, she always felt like tearing them apart. If given a chance, she wouldn''t hesitate to take Jia Li out of the picture.


    Right now, even if she couldn''t get rid of Jia Li, she wanted to have a rtionship with Fu Hua. To her, it would be so fun if she gets a chance to sleep with him again and make him have an extramarital affair.


    Feng Alix had a dark mind and she seems to have lost all her senses.


    Carlos also felt that she was not okay and said to her with a frown, "Are you sure you are alright? Why the regrets when you are at fault?"


    "It''s exactly because I am at fault that I regret my past actions." Feng Alix said immediately. If she could turn back time, she would never choose her career over Fu Hua.


    Thinking about her past mistakes, she med herself greatly and thought that she must have been blinded to make that choice. It was now that she was realizing what she had after she had lost it.


    "You left your first boyfriend because of your second boyfriend. You left your second boyfriend because of a big opportunity abroad and when you lost everything including your reputation, you found me and still left me for an older man because of his wealth. Tell me, is there a limit to your making big mistakes and regretting your actions?" Carlos asked in an annoyed tone.


    Alix chuckled and replied, "I don''t need to stop making mistakes that I will regret because I can''t stop. I have long epted that this is my special touch. About the Will, there is no need to change it by yourself, because Mr. Suarez will give you a call to do that."


    Carlos seemed surprised by her look and tone of confidence. "You sound so confident, what terrible ns do you have?"


    Alix immediately climbed his naked and sweaty body. She made sure to sit directly on his weekend private part, which immediately stood at attention at her touch.


    "It''s not a terrible idea or n. It''s something I have been avoiding since I got together with Mr. Suarez. I didn''t want to be tied down, but it looks like that''s the only way to be genuine for once in a long time in my life."


    After saying that to him, Alix touched his manhood, before directing it into her core and started to grind her hips against him without giving him time to respond to her words.

 Chapter 546 - Take Part In The Fun

    <h4>Chapter 546 - Take Part In The Fun</h4>


    Later in the evening of the same day, Alix prepared to leave. She washed up, got dressed and got ready to leave.


    "You are not worried about getting pregnant?" Carlos asked with a meaningful gaze on her. They didn''t use protection, so he was asking to know how she would handle it.


    "There are so many pills to take, don''t worry about me. I still have your number, pick up when I call you." Alix said as she fastened her earrings to her ears. before picking up her handbag to look at him.


    Carlos got off the bed saying, "I''m not yourckey. You are not allowed to call me, send me a text if it''s urgent."


    "Fine!" Alix said before leaving.


    Leaving his small vi, Alix went to a high-end restaurant and ordered a full meal and a bottle of alcoholic wine.


    After filling her stomach, she drank two sses of wine before going to a drug store with the remaining bottle of wine in her car.


    Alix bought sleeping pills before returning to her car. Opening the bottle of wine there, she poured a few tablets inside it before closing the bottle and driving home.


    When she got home, she pretended to be drunk although she was slightly tipsy. She had a high level of alcohol tolerance.


    Getting down from the car with her purse and bottle of wine, she walked in funny steps inside the house while calling her husband''s name.


    She called him a mean man for not caring about her. Everyone was home already, so they heard her drama.


    "Has that woman gone nuts?" One of the middle-ageddies asked with an ugly re.


    "Maybe it''s time for her to leave this house." A younger woman who seemed to be Mr. Suarez''s granddaughter said.


    While still pretending to be drunk, Alix met all some of them in the sitting room and made a few rudements to them about how they have been ill-treating her and how they have been sabotaging her good ns.


    Next, she said she was going to take revenge on them before walking away in unsteady steps, as she went to find Mr. Suarez wherever he was, after grabbing an empty ss from the table.


    Before Mr. Suarez could go find her after he heard about themotion she was making in her drunken state, she found him first in his bedroom.


    "Alix, why would youe home in this state?" Mr. Suarez asked with a frown. This was his first time seeing her in that state but he was annoyed that she was disrupting the peace in the house.


    "You are the cause of this! Since we were together, I have never been this sad. And today, you caused me to rethink my creation." Alix said in a sad tone as she came to stand in front of him. She pretended to look pitiable so she wouldn''t be pushed away, so it worked


    "You are sad because of me?" Mr. Suarez asked.


    Alix chuckled sadly before pouring wine in the ss and handing it to him while speaking and he unconsciously took it from her.


    "You know your family hates me and they try to get rid of me with each passing the day. In this house, I can only rely on you but it looks that''s not possible anymore. I am doomed to be hated by everyone, including the one I call my husband!"


    "Alix, who says that I hate you? I don''t! Come here, let me help you to sit." Mr. Suarez said and wanted to help her to sit on the bed but she refused.


    "Don''t spill the wine, drink it all up before you say anything to me." Alixmanded.


    Mr. Suarez nced at the wine in his hand, the bottle in her hand before asking, "Have you been drinking this?"


    "Yes, What''s wrong with that?" Alix asked.


    It was as if Mr. Suarez just thought of something and he stared at her in horror. "Did you drive yourself back in this state?"


    "What''s wrong with it? If I had called you to send someone to pick me up, you wouldn''t have answered my calls." Alix shrugged.


    In her mind, she snorted.


    "Alix listen to me, you can''t drink-drive next time. What if you got into an ident and lose your life?" Mr. Suarez reprimanded her but she wasn''t in the mood to listen to him.


    "Don''t scold me, drink the wine I offered to you." As Alix said that, she pushed the ss to his lips and made him drink every drop in the ss.


    Mr. Suarez couldn''t do anything other than to drink the wine she gave to him. After taking thest sip, he pushed the ss away from his mouth and said with a frown, "This wine is strong, how many sses did you take to be in this state?"


    Mr. Suarez asked as he guided her to sit at the foot of his bed.


    Alix poured another ss and handed it to him. "If you want an answer, take thest drink for the day."


    "This woman, you are really something!" Mr. Suarez said and from the ss before she took the empty ss from him and smiled in satisfaction.


    She was trying to make sure he took enough wine for the sleeping pills to work.


    "I took three sses of this. I will be d if you can take part in the fun." Alix said.


    Mr. Suarez sighed and let her be. He could smell the wine on her and knew that she must have drunk a lot.


    "I have a surprise for you." Alix said suddenly as her drunken eyes lit up.


    "What kind of surprise is that?" Mr. Suarez asked as he thought about what funny idea she hase up with.


    "I won''t tell you now. Just hold on for me. I have to flush this wine down the toilet because it''s terrible, I will be right back." Alix said as she got to her feet.


    Mr. Suarez was scared that she would put herself in danger if she went into the bathroom alone in that state, so he wanted to go with her but Alix refused.


    She asked him to lock the room door before walking into the toilet with the bottle of wine and shutting the door behind her.

 Chapter 547 - Fu Ling And Xiulan

    <h4>Chapter 547 - Fu Ling And Xin</h4>


    Getting to the bathroom, Alix pointed the remaining content of the wine into the toilet and flushed it down.


    After doing that sessfully, she ced the bottle of wine in the sink while smiling to herself in the mirror.


    Next, she took off her clothes and climbed into the shower. She made sure to take her time bathing before stepping out and wrapping herself with a bathrobe.


    Mr. Suarez who had been impatiently waiting for her to step out of the bathroom was already feeling sleepy when she finally stepped out. It looks like the drug had begun to work in his system.


    When she stepped into the room, Alix teased the sleepy old man by opening her bathrobe and allowing him to take a good look at her naked body before she tied it back.


    "Why did you take so long? I am already tired, are sure we won''t leave this till tomorrow?" Mr. Suarez asked as she came on him and pushed him down on the bed.


    "No way! This is the gift I prepared for you and it''s only for this night." Alix said.


    In the end, Mr. Suarez fell asleep after Alix must have finished teasing him and taken off their clothes.


    Seeing him sleeping while snoring, Alix snorted to herself as she pushed him off her body and went to pick up her purse that was lying on the floor.


    Picking up her phone, she began to browse on a site about some drugs which were deemed important, before putting her phone back in her purse.


    Putting the purse on the nightstand, sheid on the bed covered her naked body with a nket and closed her eyes to sleep.


    The next morning, she intentionally slept in so she wouldn''t have to be the first person to wake up. Mr. Suarez woke up before Alix and sat up feeling refreshed. He looked down at the faint marks on his body and the one on Alix''s naked body and smiled to himself.


    While thinking that something must have happened between themst night, he felt a little bad that he couldn''t remember the details.


    ''What a good way to gift me something.'' Mr. Suarez thought before calling the servants to bring a hangover pill for Alix.


    Mr. Suarez had always been a good drinker, so he was alright and didn''t feel the need to take any hangover pill.


    Back in China, Fu Ling was trying to partner with FJ for their next uing female dress-up game. It took Fu Ling and his best team a week to work on the proposal for FJ.


    Around 10 AM, after confirming his appointment with Fu Hua from FJ which would be around noon, he called his assistant to bring him the files he was supposed to sign.


    "Sir, here are the files you asked for." Xin said as she passed the file to him.


    Taking the files from her, Fu Ling asked a weird question out of the blue. "Do you have a boyfriend?"


    "I''m sorry what?" Xin said. She didn''t think she heard him well, so her reaction was that way.


    Fu Ling put down the files in his hands and gazed at her in slight worry. "Do you have a boyfriend? I''m worried that I may be ruining your existing rtionship out of my selfishness andck of understanding."


    Before asking her to pretend to be a couple with him in front of his family, he didn''t remember to check if she already had a boyfriend before using her, so now he was a little worried that if she was seeing someone, his ns might ruin their rtionship.


    Which man would let his girlfriend pretend to be in a rtionship with their Boss maybe in public and in front of his family?


    No man who had values would let that happen, even if it''s for money.


    Xin hid her disappointment and replied, "I don''t have a boyfriend."


    She seemed to be disappointed about the reason he was suddenly interested if she was in a rtionship.


    Fu Ling sighed in relief. "I''m d you are still single as my plot wouldn''t have to ruin your rtionship with other people. Tell me when you have a boyfriend, so I can find a way to immediately end all of these."


    Xin nodded in response before stepping back and turning to leave but Fu Ling made her stop in her steps briefly discussing a few things before she made her way out of his office.


    Fu Ling had told her to prepare to go with him to FJ in an hour.


    Immediately she stepped outside of his office, Xin sighed in relief. She stood there for a few minutes before returning to her desk.


    An hourter, she and Fu Ling were already on their way to FJ in his car.


    Jia Li had just finished eating lunch with Fu Hua when Zimo let Fu Ling and Xin in.


    On seeing Jia Li in the office, Fu Ling smiled and greeted her first before turning greet Fu Hua.


    After greeting them and receiving a response from them, Fu Ling went on to introduce Xin to them as his personal assistant.


    Xin acted invisibly by bowing and greeting Jia Li and Fu Hua softly.


    Jia Li smiled gently at her before ncing back at Fu Hua. "I will leave you two to have your meeting, I have to go back to my office."


    After saying that, she packed up the lunch boxes she brought from home and walked towards the door but Fu Hua went after her.


    "Wait." Fu Hua said as he took giant strides towards her. Thinking that he had something to say to her, Jia Li stopped in her steps and turned around to nce at him with a smile.


    Instead of saying something to her, Fu Hua smiled and leaned in to kiss her lips softly, then he hugged her for a few seconds before letting her go.


    Jia Li blushed and turned around to leave quickly with Zimo following after her.


    When they got to the elevator, Zimo pressed the button for the doors to open.. After she got in, she waved at Zimo before the doors closed and only then did Zimo happily return to his office.

 Chapter 548 - New Game Project

    <h4>Chapter 548 - New Game Project</h4>


    Fu Ling talked to Fu Hua about his new game ns and how he wanted FJ to design the costumes for the dress-up game.


    At first, he wanted to use the already made collection in FJ but Fu Hua gave him a piece of advice.


    "You need a fresh design and besides, it''s going to cost you a lot if you want to use our alreadyunched expensive designs. I will suggest you pick a designer from our team and ask him/her to design some outfits for your game, it will be popr if we help with the promotion." Fu Hua said.


    "Brother you mean..." Fu Ling trailed off.


    Fu Hua smiled and said to him, "This will be beneficial for yourpany and FJ, it will be a win-win situation. If the designer for your costume is from FJ, this will be huge. After youunch the game, you can include some details leading to FJ, which in turn can direct your customers here."


    The dress-up game would surely be interesting, depending on the age range for it. If a teenager or an adult, ys that game and gets interested in the outfits, she can directly purchase the app in order to get those outfits.


    At the end of the meeting, Fu Ling said he would make an adjustment to his proposal and some changes to the game which will allow all females from different age range to y the game.


    For instance, after the game hasunched and as a female customer, you try setting up your details in order to start ying, you will have to input your age range, so the system can automatically bring out the outfits suitable for your age to y with.


    If you pick from ages 18-24 a certain kind of outfits will be disyed for you to y the dress-up game with.


    In order for their proposal to work, Fu Ling had to first adjust his initial ns, so over the next several days, he and his team buried themselves in work.


    After making the perfect proposal and adjusting their new game ns, Fu Ling went back to FJ with his personal assistant/fake girlfriend, Xin.


    After going through their proposal, Fu Hua was satisfied with it.


    Since this was official, Fu Hua asked Sunny toe to his office to discuss the new n ahead of them.


    Fu Ling chose a certain number of outfits for each level. If the customers from ages 18-24 pay and upgrade to use level 2 outfits, they can get an extra free outfit added to the one they purchased for the game.


    Since they were going to be levels in the game, some of FJ''s existing outfits will be used, aside from the ones that will be freshly designed.


    The new game, Fu Ling wasunching was not just a dress-up game alone, it also had some stories to it to make it interesting.


    Tasks like, ''Having a prom party to attend, what kind of outfit will you pick for your date with the hottest guy in your high school?''


    When the little meeting was over, Fu Hua asked Sunny to pick a team of 3 people that would work on this new project. He was leaving her to make the decision since she was FJ''s Creative Arts Director.


    Fu Ling felt more grateful to Fu Hua for the advice he gave to him. Since the game will be solely focused on 90% females, he had to put more effort, as this was his first time working on a different kind of game from his usual.


    Also, Fu Hua told him tounch the game quickly before Jasmine''s birthday, so that on her birthday, the game could be advertised there.


    "I''m not sure of the theme her mother chose for this year''s birthday party but you can still advertise your new game thereafter theunch. If your App is friendly, Jasmine can y the dress-up game with the guidance of her mother or any adult." Fu Hua said.


    These tactics were simple. The little bun only had to choose some dresses she would like her character in the game to wear, while an adult-supervised from the side.


    Not only will Jasmine y the game in front of her party guests but also, she will be recorded and the clip, posted online to draw more attention to the game.


    This will surely create a buzz on the Inte.


    That day when Fu Hua got home, he exined in detail on the discussion he had with Fu Ling concerning his new game.


    "...I hope you don''t mind?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.


    "I don''t mind at all. It''s not a big deal and we are a family, we should help one another when we have the opportunity to do so." Jia Li replied.


    She had no problem with Fu Ling using Jasmine''s birthday for his game promotion. She thought it would be more fun and even asked Fu Hua to talk about it with Fu Ling after the gameunches, to see if they could include some other things from the game in the birthday party, to make it more fun.


    The next day being the weekend, Fu Hua was spending real time with his little daughter. Jasmine was sitting on his chest while eating a bar of chocte.


    If the little girl takes a bite, she would give her father to have a bite. The father and daughter were really enjoying themselves.


    Jasmine''s hair was let down and it caused obstruction for her while eating her chocte bar, so her father had to push her hair away from her face from time to time until they finished eating the chocte.


    Jia Li who left the bed for them and was lying on the couch while reading a book was distracted because Fu Hua just called her to get the little girl''s water bottle.


    As the little girl wasfortably sitting on him, he didn''t want to disturb her, so he chose to disturb his wife.


    "Sweetheart, please help me with her water bottle.." Fu Hua said while shing a sweet smile at the grumpy-looking Jia Li.

 Chapter 549 - The Little Girls Honest Responses

    <h4>Chapter 549 - The Little Girl''s Honest Responses</h4>


    Right now, Jasmine was sitting on the bed with her water bottle while Fu Hua was trying to pack her hair in two ponytails afterbing it.


    The only thing Jasmine did was to sit there obediently while her father tried to tidy up her hair.


    Fu Hua was being so gentle so as not to hurt the little girl and at the end, the hair he packed for her looked funny.


    "Good, you look cuter now." Fu Hua said with a proud smile and his hands on his waist as he admired his handiwork.


    Jasmine reached out with her short arms to touch her hair while staring at her father. Fu Hua noticed that she was interested in seeing her new looks, so he picked up his phone and turned on the camera.


    "Jasmine look over here and say, ''sweet''."


    With the way he positioned his phone, the little girl knew he wanted to take photos of her, so she posed and obediently said ''sweet'' and Fu Hua snapped away.


    After taking a few photos, Fu Hua smiled proudly and walked to her side to show the photos to her. "Here you go."


    When Jasmine saw how ugly her hair looked, she scrunched up her nose and nced at her father. "Ugly!" She said with an unhappy tone.


    "What! How is your hair ugly? Princess, Daddy did his best to make your hair look this good and you said it''s ugly?" Fu Hua said in surprise.


    Jia Liughed out loud with her gaze on the father and daughter. Her daughter''s hair indeed looked funny when she saw it. No wonder Jasmine said her hair was ugly.


    "What''s funny?" Fu Hua asked Jia Li with a frown. He didn''t seem to be happy that his handwork wasughed at.


    "I can''t believe the CEO of FJ can''t style his daughter''s hair." Jia Li said. She really enjoyed making fun of him.


    Jasmine who was still annoyed with her funny hairstyle immediately turned to her mother and said while pointing at her hair, "Mummy, my hair!"


    "What do you want me to do?" Jia Li asked while staring at her with a smile.


    Jasmine didn''t know how to reply to her, so she picked up theb her father had used tob her hair and showed it to her mother.


    "You want me to help you with your hair?" Jia Li asked while sitting up on the couch and the little girl nodded with furrowed brows.


    Stretching her hands towards her, Jia Li asked her toe over.


    Jasmine was too small toe down from the bed, so she nced at her father to ask for help. Fu Hua was unwilling to help her after she said the hair he styled for her was ugly.


    Jasmine seemed impatient as she called out to him, "Daddy!"


    "Darling, don''t tell me you''re jealous." Jia Li said from the side.


    It was inevitable for Fu Hua to be jealous after his goodwill was called, ''ugly'' by his little princess. Atst, he relented and carried the little girl down from the bed.


    Immediately her little bare feet touched the floor, she ran to her mother with theb in her hand.


    Jia Li immediately lifted the little girl to sit on the couch as she loosened the hairband when she approached her.


    After her hair was repacked in two bunnies, Fu Hua took some shots of her and posted them on his official social media handles.


    He posted the picture of Jasmine in the hair he styled for her, alongside the style Jia Li made for her with the caption: "I did my best to make her hair less painful while packing it for her but she called it ugly at the end and ran to her mother to get her hair restyled. My heart is broken."


    Fu Hua tagged Jia Li in that post and before she could see his message and reply to it, there were already thousands of likes andments under his post.


    Many peoplemented how cute Jasmine was and her funny actions.


    In the second picture Fu Hua posted, Jia Li could be seen holding the little girl in her bosom. Jia Li looked especially beautiful in her casual outfit and they were first noticed by a few people before others began to makements about her.


    Later when Jia Li saw the post Fu Hua tagged her to, shemented.


    "Learn to style your daughter''s hair the same way you design those amazing outfits at work."


    Immediately, Jia Li''sments made it to the Top charts. So many people reposted herment to Fu Hua''s post.


    ''Oh my goodness! Did Jia Li just make thatment ????.''


    ''Mrs. Fu is making fun of Mr. Fu for his terrible creativity at home.''


    ''Oh my! The little bun said that style was ugly and it got me cracking up.''


    ''Daddy Fu, please learn to style your baby daughter''s hair so she won''t have to run away from you.''


    ''Oh! The little girl is so honest.''


    ''Yes, children are so honest that they would tell you the truth without minding your feelings.''


    ''Who knows how our CEO felt after his heart was ruthless punched by his daughter ??''


    ''I love this family of 3. Please can you make posts like this often?''


    Another hourter, Fu Hua''s post and Jia Li''s response were now trending and were the most searched, liked,mented on and reposted.


    Back in their bedroom, Fu Hua was still ying with the little girl after she got over the ugly hair he styled for her.


    "Jasmine say, I love mummy." Fu Hua said to the little girl.


    "I yuv Mummy!" Jasmine said happily. It looks like she was very happy to confess her love for her mother.


    "Say, I love Daddy." Fu Hua said to her.


    "I yuv Daddy!" Jasmine said and pped her hands.


    Fu Hua smiled and said to her again, "Kiss Daddy."


    Surprisingly, the little girl refused. "No!" She said while shaking her head in a negative affirmation.


    "Why?" Fu Hua asked in surprise. "No." The little girl replied stubbornly.


    Atst, when Jia Li went over and asked the little girl for a kiss, she happily kissed her cheeks much to her father''s envy.


    It looks like the little girl still bore a grudge against her father.

 Chapter 550 - Alix Is Pregnant

    <h4>Chapter 550 - Alix Is Pregnant</h4>


    Alix is pregnant.


    Their family doctor confirmed it after Alix fainted and was called over.


    Why did she faint, how did she faint?


    Alix knew her ns like the back of palms. She was expecting to be pregnant, so she bought a pregnancy test ahead of time while waiting for the right opportunity to make use of it.


    It was not yet time for her period for that month toe but she used the pregnancy test kit on herself after a few weeks and it turned out positive.


    She was ted not because of the baby she was carrying but because of what she would use it for.


    After confirming that she was pregnant, she didn''t announce it and instead kept mute about it while waiting for the opportunity to announce it in an unusual way.


    The next day, Mr. Suarez called everyone to talk about his will which would be sent over soon but will only be read out when he dies to avoid fights while he was still alive.


    During the meeting, Mr. Suarez mentioned the shares. He had said that Alix will not inherit any shares but will notck money and a ce to stay after his death.


    Alix who already appeared frail shot u from her seat and started screaming at Mr. Suarez while pointing fingers at him to the anger of the remaining members of the family.


    Mr. Surez''s only daughter could not condole her acts and immediately pped her hard on her face.


    There was dead silence after the p was perfectly delivered but something happened.


    "Did you just p me?" Alix asked in shock while holding her left cheek. Just now after she was pped, she felt a little dizzy and staggered a bit, while feeling that head was moving on its own.


    "And I will do it again. How dare a greedy bitch like you insult my father, have you gone nuts?" The woman asked.


    Alix nced angrily at her and said, "How dare you hit me, have you forgotten that I am your mother by my marriage to your father?"


    Another p was delivered to her face right after she said that. Mr. Suarez who had had enough of what was going on asked them to stop but nobody listened to him.


    "You ugly hag, how dare you to hit me again?" Alix said as she lounged towards the woman but the woman seemed to still be agitated, so she pushed her away.


    Alix fell directly on the floor but never got back again. Everyone thought she was pretending including Mr. Suarez who had already gotten to his feet in anger.


    "Why did you push her, quickly help her up!" Mr. Suarez instructed in an angry tone.


    "Father, why would I help her up, she can help herself up whenever she is done resting." The women said and looked away.


    "Don''t you want any inheritance anymore?" Mr. Suarez threatened. The woman was forced to go to Alix''s side.


    She kicked her legs and asked, "Are you not going to get up?" But Alix did move an inch.


    "Her drama is getting out of hand." One of Mr. Suarez''s grandchildren said.


    Mr. Suarez who was impatient from his daughter''s sluggish acts came forward and pushed her away, before calling Alix while shaking her body but there was no response.


    Afraid that something serious might have happened to her, the old man panicked and immediately turned her over, only to see that her eyes were shut and there was no movement from her.


    The rest of the family were shocked and immediately got up from their seats.


    "What happened to her, is she dead?" One of them asked in horror.


    "Hurry up and call the doctor, her breath is faint!" Mr. Suarez roared and his order was immediately carried out.


    The woman who pushed Alix down was very scared of killing someone. Luckily, her daughter helped her to sit back in her seat.


    ''Anyway, we are rich and can cover up her death if she really dies here'' The woman thought, as she can''t spend the rest of her life in prison. In the worst case, she could put the me on a servant.


    Their family doctor arrived soon and sent everyone out of Alix''s bedroom before doing some checkups and connecting a drip to her, while the Suarez family, actually those that cared about her life, waited outside of her room along with Mr. Suarez.


    After what felt like several minutes, the doctor finally stepped out of the room with a frown on his face.


    "How is she?" Mr. Suarez asked.


    "She is out of danger now. How did she fall?" The doctor asked.


    Without wasting time, Mr. Suarez summarized why happened. "She got into a fight."


    "How can a woman in the first stage of pregnancy get into a fight?" The doctor asked to the surprise of everyone.


    "Doctor, what do you mean?" One of Mr. Suarez''s sons asked.


    "Ms. Alix is pregnant but right now, the fetus is unstable because of the fight and she needs to at least have a week of bed rest. I will write a list of drugs she would have to be taking and a diet n she must strictly follow to help with the fetus development." The Doctor said.


    Mr. Suarez and his family were still in shock with the news of Alix''s pregnancy but Mr. Suarez was quick to recover from his shock. He smiled and shook his hands with the doctor before asking one of his sons to take the doctor to sit somewhere, so he could rx and write the list of drugs and the diet Alix would strictly follow.


    "Doctor can I see her?" Mr. Suarez asked with a mix of emotions.


    "She is in a deep sleep but you can go in and see her. The nurse will be there to look after her till she wakes up."


    The doctor hade with a nurse who would stay by Alix''s side till she regains consciousness.


    Mr. Suarez thanked the doctor again before going into Alix''s bedroom.


    When Alix woke up, she seemed a bit out of it.. There was a huge frown sitting on her face as she tried to sit up.

 Chapter 551 - TWO SWEET

    <h4>Chapter 551 - TWO SWEET</h4>


    Seeing her trying to sit up, Mr. Suarez who was sitting on the chair next to the bed held her hands and helped her to sit up, while the nurse put some pillows behind her back so she could rest her back on them.


    It was never Alix''s intention to faint. She only wanted to announce that she was pregnant during the meeting but she didn''t expect to get into a fight and faint in the process.


    But this was her luck, as she can take advantage of it.


    Alix did not allow him to touch. She was still very angry with how she was maltreated earlier. She created a big scene and said she was going to sue Mr. Suarez''s daughter for assault.


    Her face was swollen and her body ached terribly. She was in pain and she wanted to make sure she got revenge.


    What was a difort for her, turned out to be a blessing in disguise and she made sure to make use of it.


    Alix''s anger was not just because she was physically assaulted but also because she would have lost the child she made an effort to have.


    If she lost the child, all her ns would fail. At most, she would be given an extra property or more money topensate for the loss she experienced. As for the shares, she wouldn''t even get 0.01% of them.


    Mr. Suarez who heard what the doctor said about the fetus being unstable, tried to cate her by saying he would give her an answer.


    It took time for Alix to calm down. After learning of her child''s situation, she couldn''t move vigorously as she needed it to get some shares from Mr. Suarez.


    Atst, the person who hit her came to apologize to her unwillingly. Alix snorted and didn''t answer her. Her situation has now made her a Boss. Whatever she wanted, she would receive.


    "You don''t look sincere in any way. After putting me in this condition, she dare toe to apologize to me empty-handed, who taught you such ethics?" Alix had said.


    Talking to someone who can give birth to her based on their age gap in that manner, Alix sure had a lot of guts. Well, it was her luck for having an upper hand.


    Although she was very angry for being insulted, she still had to obey her father''s instructions. The next day, she came back with white lilies and jewelry she casually picked from the store.


    Alix was angry that she brought white lilies for her. She made a scene and wanted to give the woman a hard time but she gave her a clear warning.


    "Don''t push your luck."


    Now that Alix was pregnant, it was obvious that Mr. Suarez has to make some adjustments to his Will. There was no way he wouldn''t give some shares to Alix''s child because that child belonged to him.


    Two dayster, he phoned hiswyer Carlos and asked him toe to the house, so they could talk about his will again.


    At the end of the meeting, a 1% share was to be given to Alix. Carlos didn''t know the reason for his change of mind but when he asked and got a reply, he was surprised.


    Alix was pregnant, howe?


    When Carlos left the ce, he phoned Alix to ask about her pregnancy. Alix''s voice sounded very clear with excitement.


    "Are you really pregnant?" Carlos asked.


    Alix could sense the doubt in his tone. She scoffed and replied, "Do you think I will fake my pregnancy?"


    "Who knows, you are capable of anything." Carlos said.


    "My getting pregnant was intentional. I wanted the shares, so I worked for it." Alix said in excitement. She was alone in the room and that''s the reason she could talk so freely.


    "You are lucky to have gotten 1% of the shares." Carlos revealed to her.


    "Really but that''s too small." Alix said with a slight smile.


    Carlos sniggered, "You are greedy. Mr. Suarez is already going against the promise he made to his children to give you some shares."


    "And how is that my business if he has to fail in his promises? I don''t give a damm." Alix said.


    What was her business if Mr. Suarez couldn''t keep his promise to his children?


    "It''s not your business indeed but be sure to keep that child safe if you still want those shares. If anything happens to that child before it''s born, just forget about the shares."


    "What!" Alix eximed in surprise. She had no idea that she would have to give birth to the child before she cany her hands on those shares.


    She was so angry that a condition was attached to the shares that were to be given to her.


    "You are lucky he didn''t ask you to manage the shares for a limited time before giving it to the child. And what if he didn''t give you any right to the shares and only to the child?" Carlos asked.


    Alix was not even thinking of the fact that her ns would have failed if not for a bit of tiny luck. She had nned to get rid of the child after giving birth to it but now, it looks like she had to make sure the child was born by all means.


    It''s possible that the people in the house might try to harm her child to make sure nothing gets to her, so she is now forced to keep the child.


    Soon, Fu Ling,unched his new game, which was a huge sess because the promotion had already begun about a month before the game wasunched.


    After theunch of Fu Ling''s new game, birthday ns for Jasmine began. Jia Li had already decided on her birthday theme, which was tagged, ''TWO SWEET''


    There was going to be lots of sweet snacks and food for the party. Ice cream, donuts, candies, cotton candies, choctes, cookies, cakes, cupcakes,.... Who can resist a ''Two Sweet'' themed birthday party?

 Chapter 552 - Paco

    <h4>Chapter 552 - Paco</h4>


    A few days before the little bun''s birthday party, she has already started receiving gifts from her family and family friends.


    When her great grandfather asked her what she wanted for a birthday gift, she said she wanted a puppy.


    To the little girl, Ocean, Avery and Archie were adults and she couldn''t carry them about, so she wanted a little one she could carry around.


    Two days before her birthday, the caucasian puppy Grandfather Fu bought for her, was presented to her. Jasmine was excited as she carried the puppy in her arms.


    The chocte-brown puppy was so hairy and cute and it was obedient like the way Jasmine was most of the time.


    Jia Li helped the little bun to pick a name for her new puppy, ''Paco''.


    Jia Li carefully chose that name, so the little girl can easily pronounce it.


    The puppy was 2 days old and it looked so cute. Jasmine was really strong for being able to lift the puppy by herself. Because the puppy was very young, Jia Li didn''t let her grab the puppy all the time, to avoid her injuring it.


    Later that day, Jasmine took her new puppy to show it off in front of Ocean, Avery and Archie. Her puppy was a male, to avoid it given birth to children at the right age because Jasmine might not want them to sell or give it out.


    It wouldn''t be right for their house to be filled with so many dogs because Jasmine wouldn''t want them to sell or give them out. Grandfather Fu was a pro for being able to predict the little girl''s future actions since she was a dog lover like her mother.


    Jasmine and Jia Li were different only in one aspect, one was a child and the other was an adult, so there was a huge difference in their understanding.


    Jia Li can let go of new puppies but Jasmine will not because she loves them and wouldn''t want to look for them.


    Another reason for getting that breed for her was that it doesn''t grow much, so she can easily take it that it was still a puppy and then, she might luckily not ask for another one.


    Jasmine''s little house was ready and Jia Li had just finished cleaning it herself and was putting the kitchen utensils in their cupboard.


    Jasmine''s dining table had four dining chairs. She had a couch. All the pieces of furniture were made fitting for a toddler. It was really nice and beautiful for the pink and yellow colors to be used for the interior, along with a white background.


    Finally, after arranging things in the house, Jia Li walked out of that ce. There were some flowers nted in the pots and used to decorate the exterior.


    Jasmine would get to see her house on the morning of her birthday.


    After taking a break, Jia Li went to supervise the servants in the house for the gifts prepared for the children at the orphanage. But when she got there, she saw that they were already working on it.


    Knowing that Jia Li would be too tired to handle these things after cleaning and arranging Jasmine''s tiny house, Fu Hee decided to take over.


    Not only were gifts prepared for the children but the chefs in the Fu family were also getting some ingredients ready to cook for the children the next day.


    The cake Jasmine would cut with the children will alsoe tomorrow.


    Among the gifts and food, there were also money and foodstuffs for the Orphanage.


    Remember when Jia Li said she wanted to be donating a percentage of her money to charity, she decided to start that this way.


    Jia Li''s good thoughts were well recognized by the family, and so, every one of them contributed to it. Now, not only will the children benefit from all of these, their caretakers and their teachers, will also benefit from it.


    Jia Li thanked Fu Hee for helping her out. Fu Hee smiled and said that there was no need for thanks.


    Fu ChunHua was in the kitchen to make sure things were going on perfectly. Actually, there was no need for the family to directly supervise their servants when there were already appointed leaders amongst them but they wanted to put a lot of care and attention into this, after careful consideration.


    Since Paco arrived, Jasmine has not rested and the little girl now knew how to drag people to y with her. Fu Hua managed to escape her ws today and went into the study to handle an important call.


    YingPei and Ling were the unfortunate ones who got dragged into the grasswn by the little girl. They had to listen to the little girl and do as she instructed.


    Even if she tells them to lie on the grass, they would have no choice but to do it or she would tell them off or threaten to report them to ''Gregranpa''. Her pronunciation was getting better now.


    Which one of them would dare to disobey the little girl after she mentioned the old man? None of them had the guts before they would be reprimanded and he would start questioning them about their said partners.


    It would be good if the old man doesn''t remember them for the time being, otherwise, they would get in trouble.


    Ocean and her kids'' reactions to Jasmine''s new puppy were incredible. They studied the puppy for a short while before deciding to get close to it. There was no jealousy, instead, they took care of it.


    Right now, Paco was lying beside Ocean on the grasswn and it felt a sense offort.


    The next day, the family of three visited the Orphanage they chose to spoil this season. There was a big truck hired to deliver everything they had prepared for them.


    There was happiness in the faces of the children and their caretakers. It''s been a long time since they have received that kind of care from anyone or Organization, so they were moved emotionally.


    Jia Li did not choose a well-known orphanage where other people visited and gifted, she made a research to know the Orphanages that needed help, before picking one from the list.

 Chapter 553 - YingPei Seeks Jia Lis Help

    <h4>Chapter 553 - YingPei Seeks Jia Li''s Help</h4>


    Jasmine who was not used to being around a lot of unfamiliar people was stuck like a glue by her parents'' side.


    Jia Li had fun with the children on behalf of the little girl who didn''t make any attempt to go near the children. While her mother was ying with the children, she stuck in her father''s arms and watched them curiously.


    After a fun day at the Orphanage, the family of three clicked a few pictures with them before leaving. Jasmine was deep into sleep when they arrived at the Fu Mansion.


    Fu Hua got a call regarding the uing Fashion show, so Jia Li had to carry the little girl inside the house.


    After cleaning the little girl''s, face, hands and feet, Jia Li left her in the bedroom and came out. Just as she closed the door, she saw YingPei who smiled at her and called out to her.


    "Sister-inw!"


    Jia Li smiled back at him and met him halfway in the hallway.


    "What can I do for you?" Jia Li asked. She guessed that YingPei must need her help in something as his bedroom was not around that side he came to.


    YingPei smiled sheepishly and said to her, "Sister-inw, can I buy you a drink?"


    Jia Li seemed surprised by his request. ''He must have something important to talk about.'' She thought.


    "I''m a little tired after ying with the children and I still have to check the packages that areing today for Jasmine''s birthday." Jia Li said to him.


    YingPei thought that it must be tiring and so dicided not to take her out. But because what he needed was urgent, he pleaded with her to have some tea with her at home, while they talk.


    Jia Li agreed to that and so, YingPei took her to the garden and personally made a pot of Chamomile tea for her.


    "Thank you." Jia Li said as she received the cup of tea from him. After blowing on it and taking a sip, she asked with interest, "Are you usually like this when you want something from someone."


    Jia Li asked that question because she could already imagine YingPei asking Fu Hua or any member of the family for favors in that manner.


    YingPei chuckled and replied, "Sister-inw, if you put it that way, you will make me look like an opportunist. I felt it was right for us to talk over a drink or tea because of the importance of the matter."


    "How can I help you?" Jia Li asked.


    "Your friend Daiyu and I are dating and I... Sister-inw, are you okay?" YingPei wasn''t able to finish his words in one sentence and had to stop because Jia Li just choked on her tea.


    He had to go to her side and pass her a napkin to cover her mouth while she coughed. He would have liked to help her calm down a lot, but the thought of his brother seeing or learning that he touched his wife, dissipated those thoughts.


    "Sister-inw, I''m sorry for shocking you. I thought you should have known about it by now?" YingPei said.


    Seeing how shocked Jia Li was, he figured out that she was still unaware of his rtionship with Daiyu.


    ''Did she forget to inform her or what?'' YingPei thought.


    "Known about what?" Fu Hua who heard YingPei''s voice when he came to find his voice, asked as he made an entrance with his hands in his pockets.


    YingPei ran back to his seat and sat there with his gaze on his brother. Thankfully, Jia Li had stopped coughing and was now wiping her hands and clothe with the napkin.


    "Brother you know about it. It''s about me dating Daiyu." YingPei replied.


    "Oh!" Fu Hua said and went to sit next to his wife who put down the napkin on the table and nced at him in surprise.


    "Oh? You knew about it too?" She asked.


    "Kind of. I was the one that gave him that idea of choosing one of your friends to date but as for the other updates ahead, I have no idea about it." Fu Hua said.


    As if Jia Li was not surprised enough, Fu Hua had to shock her again by saying that he was the one that gave his brother that idea.


    Seeing that his wife looked like she had no idea about it. Fu Hua thought that none of her friends must have told her about it, so he decided to tell him all he knew before YingPei continued the story.


    Jia Li was also surprised that her friend Daiyu and her brother-inw YingPei kicked off well in their new rtionship.


    After getting the gist of the story, YingPei went on to talk about the reason he wanted to sit and talk with her.


    He wanted to know more about Daiyu, her likes and dislikes. Jia Li could feel how long the conversation would take them, so she decided to tell him everything she knew about Daiyu.


    Their conversationsted for more than 2 hours.


    When Jia Li got back to her bedroom, Jasmine was not there. The little girl was already awake and must have gone out for her puppy.


    Picking up her phone, Jia Li dialed Daiyu''s contact. After a few rings, she picked up.


    "Hey, Jia Li, how are you doing?" Daiyu asked immediately while panting for air.


    "What did you do that''s making you pant for air? Did you chase someone down the alleyway?" Jia Li teased.


    Daiyu snorted and said, "I can''t believe that my favorite has joined the other spoilt brats to tease me. I went for an evening run. I have to keep up with my daily exercise routine."


    "Make sure to arrive at the city on time tomorrow." Jia Li reminded her.


    The next day was Jasmine''s birthday and Jia Li wished her friends, who were also the godmothers of her daughter, would be there on time.


    "Sure, why not? I will remind DanDan and Chang Chang to meet me at the airport for our 7 am flight." Daiyu said with a smile.


    They wouldn''t want to miss the final preparation for the little bun''s birthday.


    "Did you forget to tell me about the man you are dating now?" Jia Li asked out of the blue.

 Chapter 554 - Loved

    <h4>Chapter 554: Loved</h4>


    Daiyu totally forgot to tell Jia Li about meeting YingPei. DanDan and Chang Chang forgot as well as they all went back to their jobs when they traveled back to their various homes.


    They had intended to tell her but then, she was on her honeymoon and they didn''t want to distract her. Before her honeymoon phase could end, they had forgotten about it.


    "Hello... Jia Li, I don''t know if you can hear me but if you can, please just hold on a bit, I will call you backter." Daiyu said and ended the call without waiting for a response.


    She immediately expressed her chest while breathing in relief. She just pretended to havework issues to avoid being scolded by her.


    Jia Li knew she was pretending but what could she do? Even if she calls her back at this moment, she wouldn''t answer.


    Although Jia Li did not understand the situation clearly, she only thought that they must have forgotten to inform her just like Fu Hua and YingPei.


    Jia Li sent a short text to Daiyu which said, ''Take your time.''


    She definitely had no bad intentions and just sent the text over to calm her nerves but she saw it differently. Daiyu saw it as a threat and thought that she must be in danger, so she called the others to give them updates.


    After much talk, Daiyu called Jia Li back after she must have settled in, in her apartment to exin things to her.


    Jia Li was surprised by the seriousness of her tone but sheughed over it before saying she wasn''t angry.


    Daiyu finally heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Jia Li''s rxed tone. The two friends talked for a short while before hanging up.


    Jia Li had a very busy day today. She had so many things to inspect and do. Fu Hua couldn''t have his wife working so hard to the point of exhaustion, so he had to drag her into the bedroom to rest.


    Late in the evening, Jia Li tried ying Fu Ling''s new game with Jasmine because they were going to try it out tomorrow in front of a lot of guests.


    The mother and daughter had fun ying the game which they yed several times till it was time for dinner.


    The Fu family had fun at the dinner table, as what was being taken about was ryed to the little bun.


    The little girl who had her special toddler sit between her mother and great grandfather smiled happily as she enjoyed her dinner.


    Jasmine hase to understand a little of what birthdays meant and she was excited to celebrate her birthday the next day.


    When Jia Li was little, her parents would never fail to celebrate her birthday each year and that''s where she got the spirit to celebrate Jasmine''s birthday from and also with a lot of effort in preparation.


    The next morning, Jia Li was thest person to wake up. She slept in and her rm was turned off by Fu Hua who wanted her to get extra sleep.


    Do you know, what woke Jia Li up from sleep? It was the voices of the father and daughter singing to her.


    ''Happy Birthday to mommy, Happy Birthday, to mommy, Happy Birth...day to dear mo...my, Happy Birthday to you!'' 1


    Thebination of the deep adult male voice and the excited voice of the little girl was a great one.


    Jia Li felt a little excited as she watched the father and daughter push in a trolley of cake and a bouquet while singing for her.


    She didn''t believe Fu Hua woulde up with another idea this year and for that she felt very happy.


    After receiving the flowers her little one managed to pass to her, Jia Li leaned in to kiss her cheeks and wished her a happy birthday as well.


    "Happy Birthday my baby."


    "Thank you, Mommy!" Jasmine replied with a big smile on her tender chubby cheeks.


    Jia Li did not want to cut the cake alone, so she asked Fu Hua and the little girl to join her. Right when they were about to cut the cake, someone opened their room door violently.


    "Surprise!!!" The Fu family members shouted as YingPei popped the champagne ?? in his hands as loads of excitement resonated in the room. 2


    Jia Li was shocked by the big surprise she had just gotten. She was still in her nighties, which also means that she wasn''t wearing a bra, so she immediately covered her upper body with the duvet.


    Fu Hua and Jasmine were a little surprised because they were not expecting to receive this surprise intrusion from the entire family.


    Grandfather Fu was present and other elders (his parents with his uncle and his wife) as well, so Fu Hua couldn''t tell them off.


    The entire family walked in while singing a birthday song for Jia Li. Not just that their hands were not empty either, as they had wrapped up birthday gifts for her.


    Jia Li felt loved once again. No matter how she was only after celebrating Jasmine''s birthday, the Fu family would make an effort to celebrate her as well.


    After singing for her, they cut the cake which had Jia Li''s name on it, then everyone had a bite before leaving the bedroom.


    It was almost time for breakfast, so Jia Li had to hurry up to each her body and get dressed. She did that while Fu Hua helped her to put away her gifts and tidy up the bedroom.


    After breakfast, Jia Li''s friends arrived and they spent a short time together. The Fu Mansion was filled with different aromas, as a result of the different delicacies being cooked by the chefs in their kitchen.


    Jasmine had a short break and she yed with Paco until the hairstylists and photographers came to take professional photos of her.


    Jasmine never let Paco out of her sight. She would even go on to carry him while her hair was being worked on. 1


    Luckily, the little girl didn''tin of pains, maybe it''s because she had Paco.

 Chapter 555 - 2nd Birthday

    <h4>Chapter 555 - 2nd Birthday</h4>


    The Fu family took pictures with the little bun in groups and one on one. Fu Juan who just arrived alone joined them for the pictures.


    Jasmine took pictures with her godmothers and with her dogs. That''s right, Ocean, Avery, Archie and Paco made it into the little girl''s birthday photoshoot because she granted them the honor.


    Soon, everything was set for the birthday party and Jasmine took two more photos next to her birthday theme and cake stand.


    She really blended with her ''TWO SWEET'' Birthday setup. The little girl looked so sweet in her dress, hair and the little bag that was customized for her by FJ. That was a special gift from them.


    Presently, guests were arriving into the Fu residence to attend the little girl''s birthday party. There were a total of 50 invitations sent out for the party but more than 60 people turned up for it because each guest coulde with their family.


    Today, Jasmine was free to eat all the sweet things she wanted. From her birthday cake down to cotton candies. She tasted everything but Jia Li made sure she only had a little bit of them.


    There were children present on Jasmine''s birthday and again this year, Jasmine gave out gifts with her mother.


    There were different arrangements made for kids to have fun at the party. There were ice-cream stops, cotton candy stops and all the rest of them.


    Fun activities for the children were so many. There were swings, slides and different kinds of games made for them to have loads of fun.


    Jasmine took pictures with some of the guests, who were very keen to take photos with her. Being in her mother''s arms as a mode offort, Jasmine posed for the camera.


    If any unfamiliar person tried to touch her, she would dodge their hands and hold unto her mother and father.


    If her parents were busy speaking with guests, she didn''t have a problem with any other member of the family holding her.


    FangSu and Meixu showed her off in front of their few friends from the entertainment industry who made it to the party.


    Meixu turned on her Instagram live feed to record them having fun with the little girl and instantly, so many fans reacted to it.


    The live video onlysted for 5 minutes which was more than enough for the fans to feed their eyes.


    For this party, Zhang Junjie was absent because he was away on a business trip. Meixu had no boyfriend to invite. Fu Ling didn''t invite his personal assistant since grandfather did not mention them bringing their partners.


    YingPei did not need to invite a girlfriend over because Daiyu was present. As one of Jia Li''s closest friends and Jasmine''s godmothers, she was present.


    YingPei and Daiyu talked briefly while the party was ongoing before they went their ways as things got busy.


    When the party was being wrapped up, the celebrant was asked toe and dance but trust Jasmine, she refused to move an inch.


    She was in her father''s arms and refused toe down from there. When he had tried talking to her and trying to make here down, she clutched his clothes tightly and threw her face away.


    Thankfully, grandfather Fu came to the rescue. He got up from his seat and walked towards Fu Hua with a smile. When he came to their side, he stretched forth his hand to the little girl like a gentleman asked her to dance with him.


    Jasmine nced at him and then at his hand before finally releasing her grip on her father. Fu Hua smiled and let the little girl down before grandfather Fu took her hand and led her to the dance floor.


    A popr toddler song yed and Grandfather Fu started with the normal children''s moves. Jasmine watched him for a short while before she began to move her body and arms in a low motion.


    "Let''s join them." Fu Hua whispered to Jia Li before pulling her to the dance floor to join Jasmine and Grandfather Fu. And in no time, the entire Fu family joined them.


    After the dance, it was time to y Fu Ling''s master game. The huge mobile disy that was ced close to the stage was turned on and the game application opened.


    When the game finished loading, there were a few set-ups to be made before it can be yed.


    All the attention of the guests was now on the huge phone whose screen was disying thetest game in the market.


    Because of the promotion done on it, most of them present had seen and heard about it. Those who haven''t yed the game before watched with high interest.


    In the game settings, there were options like the below listed to choose from.


    ''Language.''


    ''Male or Female.''


    ''What name would you like to go by?''


    ''Select your age range.''


    ''Select your job profile.''


    In thest setting, there were jobs like Model, Actor, teacher, white-cor worker, Chef, etc listed. And depending on your real-life profession or interest, you can choose one option.


    But the job profile still depended on the age range you choose.


    Since Jia Li was helping the little bun y, she helped her to pick her age, her gender and her nickname, ''Jasmine''. Not only that, Jasmine chose her avatar.


    She pointed at the skin color, hair color, eye color and hairstyle she wanted while Jia Li helped her to click the button just before the game loadedpletely.


    ''Jasmine on your first day in Kindergarten, which outfit would you like to wear?'' The automated female voice asked aloud.


    The function could also be turned off or silenced, depending on your choice.


    There were three different outfits disyed for her and she was to pick only one. The little girl studied the outfits before pointing at the one she wanted and Jia Li helped her to press the button.


    Jasmine went on to make choices for what she would like to have for breakfast and lunch after picking her shoes and backpack.


    Atst, when Jasmine finished ying the first stage which was ''Her first Day in Kindergarten'' she went to rest and others who were interested in ying the games, all lined up.


    There was a live video going on when Jasmine was ying the game, so immediately, lots of people began to download the game and try it.

 Chapter 556 - Jasmine Goes To School

    <h4>Chapter 556 - Jasmine Goes To School</h4>


    August came quickly. The reviews from Fu Ling''stest game were mostly positive and hispany made a lot of profits just like FJ.


    This month, the FJ Autumn Fashion show came and went. This year''s showsted for 3 days. Atst, FangSu joined as a model in the show and she didn''t stop making noise about it even after the event ended.


    She was so excited to get a ce and not just that, every year, she could model on the event and also help with the promotion of the newly released designs.


    At the end of that month, The Huang family followed the Fu family to go back to Jia Li''s hometown and pay respect to herte parents.


    After the Grand visit, the Huang family was hosted by the Fu Family in the Vi they had close to Jia Li''s hometown and there, they learned that Grandfather Fu''s maternal home was situated in the same location.


    In September, more important events took ce.


    Jasmine was sent to Kindergarten, Jia Li and Fu Hua celebrated their third wedding anniversary and the Fu family was greatly preparing for the 80th Grand birthday party for Grandfather Fu, which will be held in the next month.


    In thest week of August, mostly the preparation for Jasmine''s school was done. Jia Li kept telling the little girl about attending Kindergarten soon.


    She kept singing it like a song to her.


    "Jasmine, you will be going to school soon. There, you will learn so many things and make new friends."


    "Jasmine, I bought a backpack and a lunch box for your schooling today."


    "Jasmine, I''m going to the big mall to shop for more of your school things, do you want toe with me?"


    Jia Li kept talking about the school with the little girl, so when the timees to send her to school, she wouldn''t fret about it.


    One afternoon when Jia Li took the little girl to her tiny house to practice some chores, the little asked, "Mummy, can I take my house to school?"


    Instead of replying her, Jia Li asked back, "What do you think? Do you think you can lift your house and carry it to school?"


    Jasmine was silent for a few seconds before replying, "No, the house is big, I can''t lift it."


    "Good girl. You can''t uproot your house and take it to school." Jia Li said while rubbing her hair with q smile.


    "Mummy, can I take Paco with me?" Jasmine asked enthusiastically. She really wanted to know if she can be permitted to take her pet to school.


    She still can''t get over the dog''s cuteness and furs. Whileing to her house, she didn''t forget to bring him along.


    "No, you can''t take him to school but you can take Sofia to school." Jia Li replied.


    Sofia was the name of Jasmine''s Doll.


    "Okay, thank you, mummy!" Jasmine said obediently without making any trouble.


    "Come, let''s cook a simple dish and pick some flowers for everyone." Jia Li said to the little girl.


    After helping the little girl to cook a small bowl of stir-fried rice, they ate and did the dishes cleanup before going out of the house to pick so flowers for everyone.


    After receiving flowers from the little girl, the Fu family thanked her and nted kisses on her face.


    The weekend before the Day Jasmine would finally go to school, Jia Li and Fu Hua spent a lot of time with her. They shopped with her and took her to fun ces. At night, they would read her bedtime stories.


    Finally, Monday came. The little girl was excited about going to school but her mother who always talked about going to school was not.


    Jia Li had mixed feelings about sending her daughter off to school. She still couldn''t trust leaving her daughter in the hands of anyone outside the Fu family.


    "Darling, should we postpone Jasmine''s schooling till she turns 3, I feel that she is too young to go out there and mix with other people." Jia Li had said to Fu Hua who was dressing the little girl in new clothes for school.


    Fu Hua knew she was feeling insecure but he found her funny to only bring the matter up, today of all the days.


    "Sweetheart, I know you are feeling not quite sure about all these now that we have to watch out little Princess go to school, but you just have to see things differently now. See this as a big opportunity to help Da Xia ovee her fears of interacting with people."


    Jia Li sighed and said, "I know but still, I wish she can stay with me. Look at her height. She is small, smart and beautiful, I just want to keep her by my side for a little while."


    "You go to work from Mondays to Fridays and the only time you get to see her is around 4-5 pm on some asions. If she stays at home, what difference would it make?" Fu Hua asked.


    Indeed, it wouldn''t make a difference since Jia Li would still go to work and not get to see her daughter till she returned home from work, but her staying at home, made her feel secure.


    After breakfast, the Fu family who long decided to give the little a Grand entrance in her new school, all number into their cars, and got ready to take the little girl to school.


    It was such a magnificent sight to see the entire Fu family line up in their cars just to send their little princess to school.


    Jia Li was almost in tears when Jasmine finally left her arms and went to her new teacher. Fu Hua had to hug her from the side and part her back infort.


    The school''s owner who was present to receive the little princess of the Fu family asked Jia Li and Fu Hua toe along, so they can see Jasmine''s ssroom and her ssmates.


    This little considerate tour helped to set Jia Li''s heart at ease, even though she had toured the school before now.

 Chapter 557 - A Mother’s Worry

    <h4>Chapter 557 - A Mother''s Worry</h4>


    One of the amazing things about Jasmine''s first day at Kindergarten was Jia Li preparing gifts for her teacher and snacks for her ssmates.


    The Fu family also gifted the little girl flowers and Jasmine had hugged Paco in the car, while her mother hugged her, before she reluctantly let go.


    When Jasmine was taken to her ssroom by her teacher, the little girl stared at her ssmates curiously before she was asked to introduce herself.


    "Da Xia, wave to your ssmates and tell them your name." Jasmine''s teacher said to her with a smile on her face.


    The teacher was happy to have the little beautiful Fu family''s princess in her ss.


    Jasmine nced at her new ssmates before introducing herself to them. She waved at them and said, "Hello, I''m Da Xia, it''s nice to meet you."


    Her ssmates who have been thinking about how to reply weed her and pped for her. After that, Jasmine''s teacher took her doll, backpack and lunchbox from her, before showing her to her seat in the front row.


    At the end of school that day, Jia Li and Fu Hua came to pick her up from school. Her sses ended by 1 pm and the parents came some minutes before that time.


    In the car, Jia Li was very happy to see her little bun again. She hugged her and nted kisses all over her face.


    When Jasmine had seen her parents, she called out to them joyfully before running to them, while her teacher followed behind her with her lunch box and doll.


    Jia Li had hugged the little girl first before Fu Hua took her from her arms.


    In the car, Jia Li engaged in a conversation with the little girl. She asked her so many questions about her experience on her first day at school.


    Fu Hua was at the back seat of the car with them while the driver and the bodyguard were in the front seats.


    Jasmine answered her mother''s questions, and from her tone, she looked satisfied.


    "Do you like your school?" Jia Li asked with a smile.


    "Yes!" Jasmine replied excitedly.


    Jia Li went on to ask if she liked her teacher and her ssmates, and the little girl responded positively.


    When the family of three got back home, Jasmine had her bath and changed into another pair of clothes before joining the rest of the family at the dinner table.


    YingPei, Ling, FangSu and Meixu were absent. They were not back home yet.


    After lunch, Grandfather Fu had asked the little girl posts of questions. After filling her little stomach with the special lunch her grandmother had prepared for her, Jasmine was in a good mood to answer al their questions.


    Jasmine would have gone straight to find Paco if her mother had not stopped her. She told her she needed to rest first before going out to y.


    Taking the little girl back to their bedroom, Jia Li sat with her on the bed and asked her what she learned in school that day, while Fu Hua checked her school bag and lunch box.


    ording to Jasmine, they had learned about the Alphabet and Good habits.


    Good habits for a subject for little kids to learn about the simplest manners and the right way of living.


    After answering a few questions for by curious mother, her father faced her. After going through her backpack and lunch box, he discovered that she finished her food, but her snacks were untouched.


    "Princess, you didn''t eat your snacks?" Fu Hua asked as he took out the snacks Jia Li had put in her backpack.


    "I did." Jasmine replied as she took a bar of chocte from him and yed with it.


    Jia Li used her eyes to count the snacks before nodding in approval. "She did eat only one snack. I packed more than enough snacks for her, so she wouldn''t get hungry."


    Seriously, Jia Li was too much for worrying about her daughter getting hungry that she packed food for her and a lot of snacks, which even in one day, she wouldn''t be able to finish her snacks.


    Fu Hua didn''t want tough. He just gazed at his wife who still had their little girl in his arms. He didn''t know what to say to her.


    She was being too worried or concerned about their daughter that she got up very early in the morning to make lunch for her and also try to talk him out proceeding to send their daughter to school.


    Jia Li wanted Jasmine to get some rest, so she took her in her arms and pat her back gently until she fell asleep, and only then did she rx.


    Later in the evening, when Jasmine was ying with Paco, Jia Li asked her if she would like to go back to school the next day, and the little girl nodded eagerly.


    "I''m d you like school." Jia Li said after sighing in relief.


    The next day, Jia Li and Fu Hua got off work to pick their little girl in school. Jia Li asked the little bun if she made any friends that day and the little girl responded positively.


    When asked of their names, she was able to recall only two names, which was a good progress.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua followed this routine for almost two weeks before they stopped. Other days, any member of the Fu family could go to her school to get her, after they gave the school their consent.


    For FangSu and Meixu who liked to take the little girl out, Fu Hua had told them not to do that anymore without his permission, and they couldn''t post any pictures next to Jasmine''s Kindergarten, to avoid people with evil intentions from knowing the school she attended.


    After Jasmine fully settled into Kindergarten, Jia Li and Fu Hua celebrated their wedding anniversary in a simple manner.


    They had gone on a romantic date without Jasmine. Having dinner in a ce where they could see the beautiful night sky and enjoy the view.


    After their anniversary, the Fu family released news of Grandfather Fu''s 80th birthday party, which would be celebrated in a Grand Style.

 Chapter 558 - Grand Birthday Party

    <h4>Chapter 558 - Grand Birthday Party</h4>


    Fu Ling who didn''t need to be told about inviting his partner for the grand party did so. He invited Xin over for the party. He didn''t let her spend her money on her outfit, instead, he hired a stylist to get her ready for the day.


    It was a way of rewarding her for her efforts.


    Xin was beginning to feel ufortable with her role as Fu Ling''s ''girlfriend'' because she was starting to have real feelings for him and it hurt that she couldn''t tell him and it didn''t look like he cared.


    Being reminded of the party she had to attend the next day, Xin who was given a day off used it to sort her feelings and emotions in order to remain sane throughout the whole celebration the next day.


    Back at the Fu residence which was bustling with activities, Jasmine who had not let her mother take a break for the entire day came to pull her away from the kitchen.


    "Mummy, I want to pee!" Jasmine shouted as she ran into the very busy kitchen.


    Jia Li whose hands were stained with flour nced at her adorable little daughter who seemed very annoying to her at this point.


    "Jasmine, go and find your daddy or your aunties, I''m very busy."


    Just as Jia Li finished speaking to her, Mei walked into the kitchen in a hurry. It looked like Jasmine had slipped away under her watch.


    Mei apologized to Jia Li who didn''t me her for a little moment of carelessness. As Mei tried to take the little girl''s hand and lead her out of the kitchen, the little bun hid her arms behind her and ran to hug her mother''s legs.


    "Mummy take me." She requested.


    There was no problem with Mei helping her out with the bathroom break but this little bun wanted to steal some of her mother''s time, so she insisted that she followed her.


    Jia Li had no choice but to wash her hands and leave the kitchen with the little girl who seemed very happy.


    "Tomorrow is great grandpa''s birthday and a few of his friends from the military areing over tonight. I have to help out in the kitchen." Jia Li said as she took her up the stairs and straight to their bedroom.


    "Just like grandpa?" Jasmine asked in her cute voice.


    Her grandfather, Fu Wei was in the military and has seen him in his uniform on some asions, so whenever the word ''Military or army'' was mentioned, she would associate it with her grandfather.


    "Yes, like grandfather." Jia Li replied.


    Jia Li did not return to the kitchen again as she was held up by the little girl who refused to let her go. She also didn''t want to sleep. Atst, Jia Li had to ask her to help out with some chores.


    There were a big bunch of vegetables to pick outside, so Jia Li took Jasmine with her and showed her how to pluck the vegetables. At first, Jasmine was being a little wasteful since it was her first time but as she continued, she got better with it.


    Each time she plucked the vegetable and it came out whole, she would show off her sess to her mother. She did that a few times until she got ustomed to her sess, then she stopped making reports to her mother.


    After the little bun''s hard work, she was rewarded with a delicious smoothie, which she tried sharing with Paco but her mother intervened in time.


    The evening of the same day, Grandfather Fu''s friends from the military arrived and were hosted by the Fu family, before they were driven back to their hotel rooms.


    The Fu family equally had a sumptuous dinner. Jia Li didn''t want the little bun to overfeed herself so she lied to her in a funny way.


    She put a moderate quantity of food on her te and passed it to her. Seeing the frown on her face while staring at her food, Jia Li quickly said to her, "I left some food for Paco, wouldn''t you have loved to share your food with him?"


    Since Paco was mentioned, the little girl was sessfully deceived. She would always love to share her food with her favorite pet.


    Jia Li sighed in relief as her trick worked, by the rest of the family members chuckled softly.


    "Jia Li, when is her next appointment with her doctor?" Fu Hee asked in concern. The little girl''s diet and health were of great importance.


    "In 2 weeks." Jia Li replied.


    "That''s great! Our family doctor wille to check on all of us next month. It''s good to keep track of our health." Fu Hee said with a smile before continuing with her dinner.


    Before the next day, the news of grandfather''s Grand birthday party was the subject of attention. Literally, everyone in Country C was talking about it.


    Those who knew a lot about him and the Fu family had a lot to say as most of them wished him a happy birthday in advance.


    The next day, grandfather Fu''s birthday party kicked of by 4 in the evening. The venue was of course the Fu Mansion, as there was more than enough space for their guests.


    There was no dignitary you couldn''t think of, that wasn''t around, as long he or she has had a rtionship with Grandfather Fu.


    Truly, Grandfather was not only a symbol of authority in his home but also across the country and beyond. He was truly a man of great value.


    The guests that were given invites were people that have contributed in one way or the other to society.


    Grandfather Fu''s birthday was Grand with a lot of guests. And it was surely not your regr kind of party.


    Dressed in his traditional outfit, Grandfather gave a speech and arete which a gun salute was made.


    Men and women of power, importance and great value pped and cheered in their numbers.


    From politicians, military, professionals, World leaders to Businessmen and women, were in attendance.


    This was truly a birthday of a rare kind.. Grandfather Fu surely deserved all these merits because this was his first time after so many years of his wife''s passing, that he was celebrating his birthday.

 Chapter 559 - Not Her Type

    <h4>Chapter 559 - Not Her Type</h4>


    A room full of connection would be the right way to describe Grandfather Fu''s 80th birthday celebration.


    Out of Jia Li''s friends, Daiyu was the only one in attendance as she had to y the role of YingPei''s girlfriend.


    She had fun at the party and thanks to being by Jia Li''s side, she didn''t feel bored. She and some of the guests would have loved to take some pictures, but unfortunately, that was not allowed.


    Although Grandfather Fu''s birthday was loud, he didn''t want it to be loud on the inte with the pictures taken from the day.


    Instead, a professional photographer who the Fu family always used, was the only media person present to take photos of the day.


    Jasmine was not at a ce today. She was mostly seen with her great-grandfather. Either sitting beside him, standing beside him or in his arms as he walked to the tables to greet his friends who hade from different ces to honor him that day.


    I guess it must really be an advantage to serve in the military because at Grandfather Fu''s age, he could still hold the chubby little girl in his arms for 20 minutes.


    The old man must adore his family''s little princess a lot.


    "When are going back?" Jia Li asked Daiyu who was filling her te with food.


    "Maybe in 3 days." Daiyu replied.


    "I suppose you have a date." Jia Li teased with a bright smile.


    Daiyu was silent for a while before replying with a smile, "If going rock climbing and engaging in some sportspetition can be tagged as ''a date'' then sure it''s a date."


    "You two are going topete in sports?" Jia Li asked.


    "That''s right and I think this will be fun. Why don''t youe and watch us, I promise you would watch a good show." Daiyu said as she tried to entice her with some of the fun activities she could watch them doing.


    "No way, you two can have fun alone. I''m fine staying at home to keep warm. Winter is approaching and spending time with my daunted is what I will be doing on that day." Jia Li said to her.


    Bothdies found a ce to sit and continued chatting.


    "Is my brother-inw the kind of man you would like to have in your life?" Jia Li asked. This was an important question she was curious to know about.


    Having known Daiyu for so many years, Jia Li kind of doubted of she would love a man like YingPei, besides she had the personality to dominate and YingPei didn''t look like her kind of spec.


    "To tell you the truth, he is not. First of all, his identity as a member of the Fu family makes me want to stay away from him but I learned to ignore that side of his. His handsomeness has some youth to it and he definitely looks like the normal Capable CEOs that we know about."


    "Maybe it''s because he is not a CEO. If one day he emerges as a leader in thepany, his personality and appearance will change but he will remain the same person he was, to you, if he loves you." Jia Li said to her.


    Daiyu sipped her juice and replied, "I know. Since we are friends now, I just want to take things gradually. We are not forcing anything. He is not my type but he is interesting and I would like to try him out."


    "Yeah, he is interesting and it would be fun to be with him." Jia Li added.


    "Was your husband the type of man you would have loved to get married to?" Daiyu asked.


    She kind of knew the answer to that question but she didn''t want to conclude on it.


    Jia Li smiled and replied, "Definitely not."


    Jia Li remembered her first impression of Fu Hua. If fate didn''t bring them together and they fell in love, she wouldn''t want to be with a man like him.


    He was cold, quiet and unapproachable and seeing him always scared the hell out of her and she learned to thread carefully when she was at a close range to him.


    Li Huan was her choice in a life partner because he was gentle and kind. But as fate would have it, she became entangled with Fu Hua through his grandfather.


    Today, she and Li Huan do not talk much. In several months, they haven''t spoken and on the days to her wedding day, he didn''t call. Now, this was getting her worried.


    She has been caught up with her love and family that she has forgotten how to check up on people. Jia Li didn''t have many sentiments towards Li Huang but as her senior in high school who took care of her and they were from the same hometown, it was only right to check up on him.


    Maybe because of her personality, Daiyu was far morefortable with being in the same room with so many big shots unlike Xin who was ufortable and had to sit alone in one corner.


    Thankfully, it looked like Fu Ling had a little humanity in him for he thought about her being left all alone in a room of unfamiliar people, before approaching her.


    At first, he didn''t want to formally introduce her to Jia Li since she was only a fake girlfriend. But leaving her alone seemed to make him look heartless which was not a part of his trait, so he was forced to take her to Jia Li, so she could find somefort.


    "Come, I will take you to my Cousin-inw." Fu Ling said as he pulled her along with him.


    Jia Li recognized Xin and she learned that she was not just Fu Ling''s personal assistant but also his girlfriend.


    Jia Li weed her with a warm smile and asked her to sit and then went on to introduce Daiyu to her.


    Jia Li was truly not a chatty person and so was Xin, so Daiyu did most of the talking.

 Chapter 560 - Take You Down

    <h4>Chapter 560 - Take You Down</h4>


    Xin had felt better with Fu Ling''s actions. She just confirmed that he was not heartless, nothing else.


    Jia Li felt the rtionship between Fu Ling and Xin was awkward. But then, she withdrew her thoughts as she thought that must be how her rtionship with Fu Hua was at the beginning.


    FangSu was one of the happiest members of the Fu family today because Zhang Junjie was present at her side. She was all smiles and she showed him off to a few of her friends she invited to the party.


    Her rtionship with Zhang Junjie was so good that she was already thinking of getting married to him. Zhang Junjie already had that thought and was already thinking of proposing to her but he didn''t want to rush or frighten her and her career is very important.


    Overall, he just needed to bring up the topic of marriage and see what she has to say about it. If she has positive thoughts then he can n to propose to her.


    Right now, Fu Meixu was better off alone. Since meeting Shi Qiao again, she doesn''t have any interest in a rtionship with the opposite gender.


    Grandfather Fu''s birthday party ended in bliss. The guests were as happy as the Fu family and their extended family members.


    The Fu Family had a good time this year. Their current year was filled with bliss, unlike the next year which would be filled with thorns.


    The next day after Grandfather Fu''s birthday party, YingPei and Daiyu went to their sportspetition, which was very fun.


    There was a coach to guide them and to record their results while turning into a referee at the same time.


    YingPei believed he was the man and shouldn''t lose out to Daiyu who was a girl but he had forgotten that she was a sports girl right from preschool, while he only started to take his workouts seriously.


    At the end of the match, judgment descended. YingPei lost to Daiyu by 30 points.


    At the end of the game, they were supposed to have a total of 100 points each. But Daiyu got 90 points, while YingPei got 60 points.


    YingPei was so bitter that he gave Daiyu money for lunch and started walking away.


    "Yah! Is that how you n to treat any woman thates into your life? Shouldn''t you know how to shoulder your losses?"


    No matter how Daiyu talked to him, he didn''t turn around.


    "Did I hit his pride? What a petty man!" Daiyu said before packing her sports bag and leaving. She thought YingPei had left so she left the ce only to see YingPei standing outside.


    "I thought you had left, what are you still doing here?" Daiyu asked in surprise.


    YingPei shed a smile at her and said, "I''m a gentleman, how could I leave you here?"


    Daiyu nced at him from his head to his feet before fixing her gaze on his face to say, "I thought you were petty."


    "I''m not that petty. Come, let''s go and have lunch." YingPei said as he pulled her towards his car.


    Daiyu finally smiled when she sat in his car. "At least you know how to treat a woman better."


    "Why not?" YingPei replied before igniting the car and driving off.


    YingPei took her to a high-end restaurant he had booked when he had left her. After they had sat at their reserved table, a waiter came over to take their order.


    "Are you not scared that people will recognize you and take pictures?" Daiyu asked as she looked around.


    YingPei looked at his surroundings before replying with a smile, "This is a reputable ce but in case that happens, then I will sue them, just like my brother."


    Remember that nobody dares to take pictures of Fu Hua without his consent or they would end up getting sued for privacy invasion. YingPei was talking about that but he was joking.


    Actually, knowing the kind of power the Fu familymanded, no one would dare to publish trash about them, unless they can bear the consequences.


    As that one was over, Daiyu changed the topic. "How does it feel to lose to a woman?"


    "Are you trying to make fun of me?" YingPei asked as their food and drink orders were served.


    "How dare I make fun of you? I just wanted to know your opinion after the match." Daiyu replied as she sipped on her orange juice.


    After she put down the cup, there was a big smile on her face. YingPei understood that she was taking this chance to make fun of him after her victory.


    "Since you want to know my answer, then here it is. I feel energized and determined to take you down on our next match." YingPei said with a face full of confidence.


    "You want us to have another match?" Daiyu asked with interest, and he nodded in response.


    Soter in the future, Daiyu and YingPei had two more matches before he defeated her.


    Before Daiyu left the city, YingPei took her to some ces to have fun and on the day she was to leave, he drove her to the airport and helped her to carry her luggage.


    There were no hugs, no kisses that was too early. The two only waved at each other before going on their way.


    Soon, it was time for Jasmine to see her doctor and for every Fu family member to do their regr checkup.


    Jasmine''s doctor was invited to the house and after checking on her, he said her health was perfect but her diet shouldn''t contain too many fatty foods.


    He noted to Jia Li and Fu Hua the number of calories she shouldn''t consume past a day, so she can have a healthy diet.


    The chubby little girl didn''t understand what the doctor was saying. Her eyes were only on his stethoscope and she kept touching it, no matter how many times her mother told her not to touch it.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua took note of everything the doctor said before bidding her a farewell.

 Chapter 561 - A Prank

    <h4>Chapter 561 - A Prank</h4>


    Now, it was time for the adults to have their checkups done. Jia Li was thest person to be checked from the female side, while Fu Hua asked the doctor to check him first.


    The male and female family members were separated as they were in different rooms with their doctors.


    After checking Jia Li''s heart rate, blood pressure and taking her pulse, the doctor said to her in a gentle tone, "Madam, your health is perfect but you still need to take care of yourself and the fetus."


    "What!" The women in the Fu family chorused again.


    Jia Li seemed at a loss after what the doctor had said. ''Am I pregnant again?'' She thought to herself in horror.


    "Doctor, what do you mean exactly?" Fu Hee who was about to jump for joy asked for rification, as the others fixed an anticipated gaze on the doctor.


    The doctor smiled and confirmed what she had just said. "Madam is really pregnant."


    Fu Hee jumped up and went to hug Jia Li who had already let Jasmine slipped from her watch. Fu ChunHua, FangSu and Meixu were excited as they went to congratte Jia Li who seemed to have different thoughts in her head.


    Right at that moment, Fu Hua appeared at the door with a smile and watched the women crowding his wife.


    Jasmine saw him and ran to him for a hug while shouting, "Daddy!" Immediately, all the attention was turned on him.


    Fu Hee was so happy to announce the good news to her son, so she immediately told him what the doctor said and congratted him.


    Fu Hua who was holding the little girl in his arms nced at Jia Li who didn''t seem to be in a good mood. He smiled and said, "I know because I was the one that told the doctor to say it."


    The women who have been rejoicing felt a wave of shock hit them. Fu Hee was the first to react and she did that angrily.


    "What sort of prank is that?"


    "A good one. I wanted to know what Jia Li''s reaction would be to us weing another child soon and as you can see, she won''t be happy about it." Fu Hua replied.


    With a frown FangSu said, "Brother, this is not funny! I just finished jumping for joy only to learn that it was a prank."


    Jia Li looked annoyed more than ever. She couldn''t believe that Fu Hua would y a prank on her with this matter.


    Fu Hua nced at everyone in the room before saying, "Looks like all of you will be happy to have another child in the house but it''s not left for me to decide, you will have to beg Jia Li to agree to it."


    After saying that, Fu Hua winked at his furious wife, while Fu Hee and the others turned to nce at her.


    Seeing the gazes on her, Jia Li screamed and threw a pillow at Fu Hua.


    "Fu Hua!"


    Fu Hua chuckled hard as he easily dodged the pillow with the little bun in his arms.


    What did he mean by that? He was obviously telling everyone to beg her to have another child soon and she was not ready for it.


    It looks like Fu Hua was looking forward to having another child with Jia Li.


    The doctor who smiled at the side picked up her box and apologized to Jia Li.


    "Madam, I''m sorry about his but your husband put me to this. I will take my leave now."


    After the doctor left, Fu Hua winked at Jia Li again before leaving but who knew that Jia Li wouldn''t let him be. She chased after him to hit him.


    Fu Hua couldn''t run that fast because Jasmine was in his arms, so he had to run into a room and lock the door quickly, so Jia Li wouldn''t catch him.


    "It looks like Jia Li doesn''t want another child now." Fu ChunHua said with a sigh.


    All of them were disappointed but they couldn''t force Jia Li to have another child since she was not ready for it.


    In the end, Jia Li went back to the room, annoyed.


    "Daddy, why are we running away from Mummy?" Jasmine asked with a big smile.


    She was breathing heavily while hugging her father''s neck.


    "Daddy made mummy angry and now mummy wants to hit Daddy, so we have to hide." Fu Hua replied as he kissed her cheeks happily.


    "But you have to say sorry," Jasmine said with a smile. The little girl seems to remember that it was right to apologize when you are wrong and now, she was reminding her father of it.


    Fu Hua smiled at his little princess''s smartness. He kissed her cheeks again and said to her, "Alright, Daddy will go and apologize to Mummy, will you help me?"


    The little girl nodded in approval.


    Fu Hua needed to have the little girl by his side, so Jia Li wouldn''t attack him physically.


    Fu Hua took the little bun to the kitchen to make something sweet for Jia Li. And when Jasmine asked why he was making a drink, he replied, "Mummy will be happy when she eats something sweet."


    The health of the Fu family members was okay. Grandfather Fu was asked to follow a strict diet n to have a healthy heart.


    He was already old and there were some kinds of food he shouldn''t bother to eat anymore. Luckily, the old man had a healthy body and his bones were strong, thanks to his early days of military training.


    Grandfather Fu was still walking perfectly at his age and didn''t need any walking stick for support.


    At the end of the year, the Fu family had a big celebration and celebrated Christmas at home. But before then, they traveled to the Maldives to spend the holidays and made it back to the country in time to celebrate Christmas.


    Spending holidays with the family together in a fun ce, was the best threat ever.

 Chapter 562 - Alix’s Return To China

    <h4>Chapter 562 - Alix''s Return To China</h4>


    Feng Alix made it to the headlines the day after the New year celebrations. The news of her pregnancy has been kept under wraps after much spection from a few fans and many anti-fans. But a day after the new year, she released so many photos from her maternity shoot.


    ''Feed your eyes, a beauty is always a beauty.'' Feng Alix had said under the photos she released.


    A few people who still saw her in a good light congratted her. Some anti-fans expressed their concern for Feng Alix passing her evil traits to an innocent child.


    Some even said that by the time the child was born and grew up under her care, she would have be her replica in character and traits.


    ''Shouldn''t the government ban some women like her from ever having a child because this is one of the reasons our society is ruined?''


    No matter how many tongues wereshing at her, Alix didn''t bulge. Right now, she was preparing to fly back to China.


    It was not easy for her to convince her husband to let her have her child in China. The threat of the Suarez family towards her and her child was many that she managed to pull through till now.


    Her baby was due in February and she wanted to leave immediately. Her husband had asked her to stay until she gave birth to their child before she could travel, but she refused.


    Apart from the threats around her, Alix was in a hurry to go back to China so she could start making ns to meet someone soon. She had many agendas for going back to China apart from giving birth to her child.


    Alix received so many death threats and mishaps, like losing her bnce on the stairs because the rails were stained with oil.


    Slipping and falling on tiles because of oil spige. Given something to eat which was not beneficial to her and the child. Being scared to almost death by the grandchildren of her husband on several asions.


    They would sometimes hide insects in her bedroom, te, car and resting area which caused her frights on several asions.


    After listing all these to her husband in tears, Mr. Suarez finally allowed her to travel to China and have her child there since it was a ce she always felt at home.


    Before leaving, Alix made another request, we wanted hiswyer toe with her as it would be of great help.


    Mr. Suarez had 3wyers and Alix had to spell out the one she wanted and that was Carlo. Atst, he agreed to let her leave with Carlo.


    "Was it your idea for me toe with you to your trip to China?" Carlos asked two weeks before they came down to China.


    "Why not? Are you unhappy about it?" Alix asked.


    "I have a life over here, why are you dragging me to travel with a pregnant woman like you?" Carlos asked in an annoyed tone.


    Alix chuckled heartily and asked, "Are you feeling irritated being with a pregnant woman like me?"


    "Of course! I am not your husband or bodyguard, why do I have to follow you around?" Carlos asked.


    "In case you don''t know, I get what I want. This is what you have to pay for, for being Mr. Suarez''s exclusivewyer." Alix said.


    Carlos was the onlywyer out of the 3wyers Mr. Suarez had, that didn''t work for anybody and he was paid a hefty sum of money every month.


    Carlos was really annoyed with Alix for bringing up things out of her selfish reasons.


    "How long will you be staying there?" Carlos asked. Although Mr. Suarez had told him that he only had to follow Alix to China until she gives birth, he already knew that she would have other ns.


    "I don''t know, we will see about that." Alix had replied.


    Two weekster, Alix, Carlos and a servant Mr. Suarez assigned to look after Alix took a flight to China.


    Arriving there on their first night, they spend their first night in the hotel and the next day, Carlos contacted an agency to see the house they had reserved for Alix.


    Mr. Suarez had paid the deposit before Alix made the trip down to China. So now, Carlos was going to inspect the house on behalf of Alix, before they can make the full payment.


    Alix with her unknown intentions wanted to find a house close to Fu Hua''s ce but that was not possible. It was going to cost a lot of money to buy a house there from anyone that was ready to sell theirs and knowing that her husband wouldn''t allow that, she debunked that idea and instead, picked a house in a conducive ce.


    The first ce she had picked was an expensive apartment where so many important people lived but she gave up on it because she didn''t want anyone to monitor her or guess when she left her house and returned and all of those headaches.


    Atst, she picked a small duplex located in an expensive area to settle down.


    Immediately after recovering from the jetg, Alix immediately showed off that she was in China. She took walks in the hotel premises and took pictures next to the building to show off without minding that she could be attacked for exposing her location.


    Two dayster with Carlos''s expertise and efficiency, Alix moved into her new ce. Carlos wasn''t supposed to live in the same house with her, so he also rented the building next to hers to stay.


    Alix hadn''t liked that idea but she couldn''t make him live in the same house with her since the caregiver her husband had assigned to her, was present.


    Alix''s arrival in China caused sharks of reactions from many people who asked her the reason she came back when she looked like she was almost due for her child''s birth. But that was not any of Alix''s concern.


    Alix was busy having different spa and beauty sections and taking so many photos in different ces and posting them.


    Sometimes, she would rant about her experiences about being pregnant like she was the first woman to ever be pregnant, which annoyed a lot of people greatly.

 Chapter 563 - The Birth Of Her Child

    <h4>Chapter 563 - The Birth Of Her Child</h4>


    A week to herbor date, Alix made a post. She posted a picture of herself in a sultry red bikini ?? underneath the pictures, she wrote...


    "I didn''t know motherhood could be this hard. I can''t wait for this child toe out already so I can get some rest."


    There were so manyments and replies to her post within an hour.


    ''You should have thought about the consequences of being a mother before getting pregnant, who are youining to?''


    ''I had no idea you would carry your pregnancy to this day. I thought you would have gotten rid of it for so many reasons.''


    ''How can she get rid of the baby she intentionally made an effort to get?''


    ''I''m sure this child must be a bait for something and I pity it already.''


    ''Somehow I wish she would not be allowed to raise her child because she would be a terrible mother.''


    ''Her abdomen is pointing downwards and I think she is due soon. I can''t believe she still has the energy to y at the beach.''


    ''Wait, how can anyone go to the beach in winter in that kind of clothes? I don''t want to hear that she is not feeling this cold.''


    After Alix had finished posting, she was immediately wrapped with a thick nket and given a hot tea to drink before she was driven back to her ce


    News of Alix''s return or pregnancy had no impact on the Fu''s. They already had important things to take care of other than to pay attention to unimportant people.


    On Fu Hua''s birthday, he had a date night with Jia Li. He not only released some photos of that day but also a video.


    Jia Li had no idea he was recording her, while she ate. It was almost at the end of the video that she noticed it and her eyes widened in shock.


    "Are you recording me?" She asked with wide eyes, while Fu Hua chuckled hard.


    "Smile for me, Sweetheart." Fu Hua said as he brought up his phone close to her. Instead of smiling, Jia Li feigned a frown, which caused them both to chuckle hard.


    "You still look beautiful anyway." Fu Hua said before stopping the record and putting his phone away.


    The two went for a walk close to the sea in the evening while holding hands and chatting. Instead of spending the night out, they returned to the Fu mansion to have dinner with everyone.


    Some days after Fu Hua''s birthday, Alix gave birth to a baby boy after several hours ofbor. During herbor, she acted out a lot of scenes.


    She cursed her child for trying to kill her while she was making an effort to give it life. She cursed the doctors and the nurses for allowing her to go through pain instead of doing something about it.


    She pped her caregiver for not giving her a ss of water fast enough and she threw things around in the hospital room she was admitted to.


    She even forced her caregiver to ce a call to the Suarez family and when the call got through, she didn''t wait to hear the voice from the end beforeshing out.


    Alix almost lost her child duringbor because she didn''t push when she was asked to and she almost didn''t want to push again because of the pain.


    Atst, when the baby came out, he wasn''t breathing properly, it will be appropriate to say that he was losing his breath.


    Instead of begging the doctor and nurses to do everything she could to save her child, she said to them, "If anything happens to my child, I will make sure to close down this hospital and you will never get a job in your lives again. Then for the sacrifice of carrying this child till this point and the huge losses, I will make you all will see to it that it''s settled."


    If something indeed happens to the child, she won''t get any shares and the Suarez family will me her for traveling down to China to have her child, so her child must live at all costs.


    The purplish-looking baby who was struggling for air was immediately given oxygen to preserve his life while his vitals were being checked.


    An hourter, after Alix has been cleaned up, she felt sleepy but didn''t forget to post about the birth of her baby boy and she promised to share photos soon.


    In her post, she had made a joke of how she cursed everyone she could think of while inbor pain. Then she went on to thank the doctors and the nurses who helped her to deliver her child and for tolerating her.


    In a real sense, Alix didn''t apologize or thank the doctors that helped her and obviously, the post she made was just to show off and was not actually for them.


    That day, Alix couldn''t hold her child. And she didn''t bother to see him in the other room he was in. She was still tired after having pushed out a human and she was toozy to stand up.


    But because of her future ns, she made sure her child was okay and his health was improving, by sending her caregiver to record a short video of her child so she could see him.


    Not just that she also inquired of the doctor of her child''s health. The doctor had said her child had to be under observation for the next 48 hours to ascertain that he was okay.


    Alix didn''t care much as long as the child was alive.


    Soon, the Suarez family heard the news of their new family member and Mr. Suarez began to make ns toe down to China to see the mother and child.


    Alix hated the part of himing over but she couldn''t stop it. She didn''t want to see him again as she felt that the time he had in her life had expired, but she still had to put up a font.


    Anyways, if Mr. Suarez came over, she would show him off to everyone that was watching.. At least, he could still be of good use.

 Chapter 564 - Seeking Pity

    The day Mr. Suarez arrived at the hospital to see Alix and the child was the same day the child was released from the special room he was being observed.


    Right now, the frail-looking child had returned his normalplexion and wasyingfortable in his cot. He was fast asleep, while Alix yed with her phone.


    She took one picture of her child and posted it on the with the caption, ''I have a few special people in my heart and my son shares a birthday month with one of them. This is truly a great feeling.''


    Right after she posted that, she dumped her phone to eat the food that was brought for her.


    Some minutester, there were already hundreds ofments under her post.


    ''I thought she would take a break after giving birth but no, I thought wrongly of her.''


    ''She is not acting like someone that just gave birth. It''s like that her pregnancy was fake!''


    ''Maybe she had a child through surrogacy.''


    ''What does she mean by those words, is she trying to start up trouble?''


    ''She wants to be in the headlines.''


    ''A few days ago, Fu Hua celebrated his birthday, could she be referring to him?''


    ''She must be insane and need medical attention if that is what she meant.''


    There was not even one goodment under Alix''s recent post and it''s not that she cared about it. It looks like her goal right now was to trend and top the charts.


    When Mr. Suarez arrived in China, Carlos who was absent during Alix''s delivery went to the airport to pick him up.


    All the way to the hospital from the airport, Mr. Suarez continued to ask so many questions about the child and Alix and Carlos answered him.


    Mr. Suarez came to find out about the child being given Oxygen for 48 hours after birth and was annoyed that Alix never mentioned it to him. But that didn''t stop him from asking Carlos to stop by a store to get some things for Alix and the child.


    Atst, when they stepped into the hospital room, Alix faked a smile and weed him. Then, she tried to get off the bed while biting her lower lip as a sign of going through pains.


    "Don''t get up, I wille to you." Mr. Suarez said as he rushed to her side to take her hand.


    "Sorry I can''t wee you, I''m too weak and my whole body is still in pain." Alix said with a weak smile. Her acting was top notch and anyone who didn''t know her profession before would think she was an actress.


    Mr. Suarez nodded and said to her, "You should rest more. Have you eaten?"


    "A little. I don''t have much appetite for now." Alix lied in other to gain pity from him.


    "If you need anything, tell Carlos and he would get it for you." Mr. Suarez said to her with aforting smile. He was afraid she would remain weak for several days if she didn''t eat properly.


    Alix pretended to look even more pitiful before reluctantly telling Carlos the kind of food she wished to eat.


    When he left, Mr. Suarez fixed his gaze on her before asking, "Why didn''t you mention the health challenges of the child after birth?"


    Alix guessed that Carlos must have told him about the child being given oxygen. "I didn''t want to worry you. I''m sure you know the reason for my child''s health. Your family or tried to get rid of my and the child."


    By reminding him of the dangers she faced in his house because of her pregnancy, Mr. Suarez didn''t have the mind to about at her.


    She had slipped and fallen twice. She had even jumped up and run with fright on several asions, so he didn''t me her as he thought that must be the reason for the child''s poor health.


    But after each of those events, the doctor woulde and examine her or she will be taken to the hospital for a thorough checkup and ultrasound.


    Sometimes, the doctor would say that everything was okay and other times, he would ask her to be very careful, after which he would prescribe some drugs for her and tell what kind of particr vegetable she has to eat for a week consistently.


    With guilt, Mr. Suarez asked Alix''s caretaker to bring the child over so he could see him.


    Seeing the child, Mr. Suarez was a little surprised. The child was frail and he was small. Because of Alix''s choice of diet as she didn''t want to add weight during pregnancy.


    To her, it would be a hassle to shed all the pregnancy fats after childbirth, so why not prevent it on time than sufferter while trying to get rid of it?


    It''s not bad to watch your weight during pregnancy but going extreme to the detriment of your child''s health is not proper.


    "Has he eaten for today?" Mr. Suarez asked with a frown.


    Alix wanted to roll her eyes at him, but she held herself back. "Does it look like I will starve my child?" She asked.


    Mr. Suarez thought no mother will starve her child, so he nced back at the child before asking the caregiver to put him back in his cot.


    The truth is that he was disappointed with the child''s frail body and Alix noticed it and another n began to cook up in her head


    "Darling, don''t worry about our child, the doctor assured me that he will be robust before he turns a month." She said to him with a small smile, and he nodded.


    When Carlos came back with the food Alix requested, the caregiver took it from and served it to her.


    Because Alix wanted the old man gone, she told him to go back to her house to wash up, eat and rest beforeing back to the hospital again.


    Mr. Suarez thought she was worried about him, so he smiled and agreed to leave.


    "I''ll put in more money in the card for you.." He reminded her before leaving.

 Chapter 565 - Curious

    Mr. Suarez spent 2 weeks in China before leaving back to his country. Before he left, he had asked Alix when she nned to return home.


    "My child is too young and I am too weak. Let him grow up a little and let me rest up a bit beforeing back to face your family who might n to get rid of him." Alix had replied without soaring him a nce.


    "But I told you the house is safe now, nobody will attack you or the child again." Mr. Suarez replied.


    Alix was not willing to hear that. Whether his family would attack her child or not, she didn''t want to go back to that ce again. She wanted to remain in China.


    "That''s what you said to me before but look how it turned out..." Alix replied and atst, Mr. Suarez had no choice but to let her stay for a while.


    Remembering how disappointed her husband was, Alix set out on a journey to make her child put on some weight so he can look more human because ording to her her child was ugly. Ugly to the extent that she wondered if Carlos ever had stic surgery.


    Alix was yet to sign the will even though it was ready and she knew she had to please old man so she can sign the items willed to her as soon as possible.


    Bai Fen from the Bai family who was divorced and thrown out of the family, mother to Bai Jun, surfaced on the inte after a long time, around March. She dragged Fu Hee to the mud.


    Bai Fen has not been living a good life. But somehow, she got her brother to keep paying for her rent and some bills which included electricity and water bills. As for feeding and buying clothes for herself, she had to do those ones for herself.


    Currently, Bai Fen lived alone. Her brother left her to pay the caretaker herself but as she couldn''t afford it, she sent her away.


    Bai Fen was still working in the factory and even today, her co-workers always made fun of her. How she fell from grace to grass.


    If Bai Fen made trouble, she would be sacked, so she could only endure the humiliation.


    As an opportunity for her to get revenge came, she made sure to make use of it. She couldn''t be the only one suffering for doing wrong. Others were still living happily after doing wrong, so why would she be the only one to suffer?


    With that thought, she struck in a hard way.


    Somewhere around March, Jia Li took Fu Hee out for shopping, just the two of them. When Jia Li had brought it up, Fu Hee thought she was joking and had to confirm from her before hugging her excitedly.


    Every member of the Fu family had money to cater to their needs, so none of themcked money. But there was a feeling of joy that came when your daughter-inw tells you to dress up as she wants to take you out. That''s exactly how Fu Hee felt when Jia Li said she was taking her shopping.


    "Mummy, pick me!" Jasmine said as she stretched out her hands for her mother to carry her, as they were already leaving the house.


    "No, go back. Aunty Su will take you to buy ice cream and donuts." Jia Li said to her.


    Jasmine looked like she was about to cry when her mother refused her. "No! I want to go with you and grandma!" She said in a determined tone.


    The little girl wanted to go out to have fun with her mother and grandmother since she always had this thought that leaving the house, was to have fun.


    Fu Hee didn''t like that her granddaughter was about to cry, so she asked Jia Li to let here with them.


    "Jia Li, why don''t you let here with us, it won''t be bad you know."


    "Mum, you don''t know this little girl, she will cause trouble. She will want to touch everything that fascinates her." Jia Li said as she held the little girl that wrapped her arms around her legs.


    Fu Hee nced at her daughter and smiled. "Da Xia is at the age where she is curious about everything. She would want to touch and feel everything she thinks looks good."


    Toddlers have the tendency of wanting to touch everything they see, especially when you take them out to malls, fast foods and others.


    Imagine taking them to a toy shop, you can''t even stop them from touching things. And no matter how hard you try to stop them, you will end up being the one shouting and having a headache.


    Jia Li knew this much about her little girl, so she doesn''t like to take her out most times because she doesn''t even listen.


    When you think she is being obedient and you look away, she will use that opportunity to cause trouble.


    "Mum, we are going to shop and taking her with us will cause our shopping experience not to be fun because we will have to keep our eyes on her the whole time instead of looking out for the clothes we came to buy."


    Afterining and with the little girl not relenting, Jia Li was forced to take her along.


    So the three females, left for the big shopping mall in the City to shop to their heart contents.


    It wasn''t a new thing for people to stop and admire any member of the Fu family wherever they were seen. They were like the Kim Kardashian family in China.


    When Jia Li, the little bun and Fu Hee were spotted, some began to take photos of them. A blogger who was in their midst of them took different photos of the three andter that day, she posted them with a captivating caption.


    ''Look how loving this mother and daughter-inw are. They don''t seem like they are inws at all, they look more like friends.. And can you see the little princess of the Fu family acting cute in front of her mother and grandmother? What luck it is to be a part of the peaceful and united Fu family.''

 Chapter 566 - Her Response

    ''Jia Li and her mother-inw are on good terms''


    ''I wish my mother-inw would love me like this''


    ''I think we should all emte this kind of rtionship.''


    ''I wish I hade from the Fu family.''


    ''Jia Li is so lucky to have a mother-inw who loves her.''


    We don''t know which one of thements or maybe it was the post itself that sparked Bai Fen''s reaction.


    Bai Fen who has not been in the media attention for a long time, finally made it there after she sparked reactions from the video of her circting on the inte.


    "What a pretender! Who are you trying to deceive? This is someone that ill-treated her daughter-inw. She abused her verbally and physically and even went on to try and get rid of her grandchild! Fu Hee, shame on you! I''m telling you all, do not be deceived by that woman, she is not a good person, she is evil! And I dare her or any member of the Fu family to say I''m defaming her!"


    After the video of Bai Fen saying all of these went viral, there were so many hashtags and spections, which aimed to find out the truth of her words.


    ''Is Fu Hee not the person we think she is?''


    ''Was Jia Li bullied in the Fu family?''


    ''What is the Fu family hiding from us?''


    ''Who knows how Fu Hua reacted to his wife being bullied?''


    Currently, many people were calling the members of the Fu family out and asking them to confirm or debunk Bai Fen''s words. This was happening two days after Jia Li and Fu Hee went shopping with the little bun.


    Amongst the member of the Fu family who was being called out, Fu Hee was leading. Jia Li was called out as well because so many people were worried if she was being bullied by the Fu family.


    The Fu family sat together in what looked like a meeting room to debate on this matter. There were so many news outlets, requesting to interview Fu Hee or any member of the Fu family willing to speak up about the matter.


    "Fu Hee, you can''t do this! We can''t ept any interview from any news outlet there!" Fu ChunHua said in a grave tone.


    Fu Hee who was in tears and trying to wipe them away, couldn''t say anything. She really regrets her past actions and she had long repented. But who knew that Bai Fen would suddenly publicize the matter and cause people to curse and call her out.


    "Our family really can''t ept any interview but we have to clear the air. We can''t sit and choose not to talk about this matter because it won''t be for the best." Fu Lei said with a big frown.


    Fu Hee sniffed and said, "I will take responsibility for my actions, after all, I did wrong in the past."


    "But mum, you will be criticized by everybody no matter the story you tell out there." Jia Li said in a worried tone.


    She also wished that her mother-inw would not ept any interview because she was scared they will criticize her more for her past mistakes.


    Atst, Grandfather Fu spoke out. "It''s better to say something to atone for your mistakes than to keep quiet and admit it all and be dragged and hated forever."


    It will also be bad for the Fu family if they refuse to talk about the matter.


    Atst, Fu Hee had the interview but not with any news media outlet. She made a video from the Fu garden and released it on the inte. The Fu family page officially shared the video as well.


    "I know many people have so many things to say about my mistakes over 3 years ago but I''m here to own up to my mistakes. I have apologized to my son and daughter-inw long ago and I''m going to do it again. Son, I''m sorry for failing you in the past and Jia Li I''m sorry for mistreating you in the past, you didn''t deserve it.


    Also to everyone watching this, I hope you will learn some lessons from me and distance yourself from anyone that calls themselves your friends but is using you to achieve their goals, without caring about the cost of them using you.


    I paid a huge price for being used by the one person I called my closest friend. I lost my title in the family and was almost sent back to my father''s house. My father-inw punished me ording to the family rules, my son didn''t talk to me for almost a year and I was not allowed to hold my granddaughter when she was born. But Jia Li being a sweet girl and a kindhearted person, pleaded on my behalf and would secretly let me hold her child when my son was away. But Hua knew that Jia Li would give their child to me when he was out.


    At longst, my family forgave me and I won their trust again. And I''m grateful to them for giving me a third chance to atone for my sins.


    With this, I am also rendering a public apology to everyone because of my past mistakes. Truly, no good woman deserves to be mistreated."


    Fu Hee''s video became the top trending video and topic on the inte. Only less than 5% of people were criticizing her for mistreating Jia Li. The rest cursed at Bai Fen for stirring trouble and trying to ruin someone''s family the way she ruined hers.


    Bai Fen received so many bacshes fromizens, for threatening the peace of the Fu family and trying to garner attention to herself.


    Although, some people were curious if Fu Hee actually tried to get rid of her grandchild.


    Many people wondered the full story of Bai Fen using Fu Hee and how she fell for it and they begged her to ept at least one interview to them about it.


    Fu Hee didn''t ept any interview, instead, FangSu did to the surprise of a few.


    When she was asked if the reason she epted the interview was that Fu Hee was her mother, she denied that fact and instead said to their shock...


    "I epted this interview mainly because I have a simr story like mum.. I once bullied my sister-inw."

 Chapter 567 - Alixs Plans

    FangSu didn''t want to experience her mother''s situation so she had toe out to talk about it and also to reveal how evil Bai Fen and Bai Jun were.


    FangSu told the story of the reason Bai Fen used her mother and Bai Jun used her. And now, everyone knew why. It was because of Fu Hua.


    FangSu stated how she was used and when her mother who had recovered herself from the clutches of Bai Fen warned her, she refused to listen.


    FangSu had said, "I didn''t learn my lesson until I saw things clearly for myself. I finally discovered that I was only a tool in Bai Jun''s hands after I heard her directly use me, overheard her ns to use me and also lying to me."


    Talking about the reason she had wanted Bai Jun to be the one to marry her eldest brother, she said, "We were more like sisters than friends. We were very close when we were younger and growing up, we went to the same high school and college. And as you know, we traveled out together, so after spending most of my life with her, I felt she suited to marry my brother after my mum told me about the ns she had with the former Mrs. Bai."


    FangSu didn''t go into many details because it wouldn''t be good to spread their dirty lining outside, and nobody would do that but she made sure to highlight and briefly talk about some major situations and conflicts with Bai Fen and Bai Jun.


    Everyone learned the reason Bai Jun got into FJ but ended up selling their fashion show styles to a rivalpany and was imprisoned at the end.


    Bai Fen and Bai Jun''s secret was out. FangSu even added the reason Bai Jun got married.


    For over a week, FangSu''s interview was trending. There were so many bacshes and curses vented on Bai Fen and also to Bai Jun who was still in the prison.


    Someone asked if people like them actually existed, and another person replied, "There are so many they are worse than, and also many people that are worse than them."


    Some people madements like...


    ''Even after Jia Li gave birth, Bai Fen and her daughter were still nning to enter the Fu family.''


    ''Not just that, even after FangSu and her mother gave up, the other two refused to submit. Greed is a curse.''


    ''It seems like I really have to be careful about the kind ofpany I keep.''


    ''I''d rather be alone than have people like Bai Fen and Bai Jun as my friends.''


    ''Hopefully, this will make that Fen woman not to show her face ever again.''


    ''Obviously, she was the genesis of everything but she had the guts to call people out, what a shameless woman.''


    paring these evil doers, who do you think is worse. Bai Fen and Bai Jun or Feng Alix?''


    To thatst statement, a few people replied...


    ''There is no need to vote about this because no one is better.''


    ''It will be a waste of our timeparing their homelessness.''


    Bai Fen who has been seeking attention finally got her retribution. She was paid in advance for that month and sacked. Her brother told her not to dial his number,e to his house again or try to contact him.


    "... I can see you have the confidence to take care of yourself now, so there is no need for me to be in your life anymore."


    Did Bai Fen regret her actions? I think that is left for her to decide. Getting unexpected results after she made and released that video will take a good time for her to get over it.


    Soon, Jia Li and Fu Hua celebrated their first wedding anniversary in the year. There was nothing that special about that day, apart from the fact that Fu Hua took to have dinner after work and with them doing a little throwback on their wedding day, on their social media ounts and pages.


    Many fans wished them a happy anniversary and for them to stay stronger together no matter the harsh situation happening.


    Alix who has been going about posting almost on daily basis paused during the time Fu Hee was being dragged and when Bai Fen and Bai Jun were dragged because she knew she wouldn''t be able to get much attention to herself.


    Her son was now better looking and she sent some of his pictures and videos to her husband, so he could see how well she was taking care of their son.


    Mr. Suarez had expressed his happiness and had sent her money for their upkeep, before asking her when she nned toe back. And to that question, Alix didn''t give any reply to it, instead, she asked, "Will your family give me peace and a sense of assurance if Ie back now, do you 100% guarantee it?"


    Mr. Suarez couldn''t understand her anymore. But he still asked her toe back within a month before ending the conversation with her.


    After the drama between Alix and her husband and the one going on the inte, Alix decided to start her ns. Now, she has known that she didn''t have much time in China again, for now, so she needed to hurry up with whatever she nned to do.


    Jia Li has been the one in her way, so she started making ns to bring her down. She couldn''t go through Fu Hua because he was no different from a shield. The members of the Fu family loved and cared for Jia Li, so it wouldn''t be possible to use any of them.


    Since none of these were possible, she asked herwyer to investigate Jia Li from her childhood up till her current point.


    "Find out everything about her, especially, information that I can use against her. I don''t care who you will hire and how much money is required, all I am interested in is the result. Go to her hometown, her high school... I shouldn''t be teaching you how to investigate someone." Alix had said to herwyer cum boyfriend, Carlos.


    Jia Li has long been a thorn in her flesh and also to her, the person that snatched Fu Hua from her, so it was time to tarnish her reputation and get rid of her.

 Chapter 568 - A Trap Not A Blessing

    "Do you feel happy using people?" Carlos asked after Alix informed him of his next task. He seemed to be unhappy that she has reduced him to an errand boy.


    Alix smiled and touched his jaw. "You are the only one who I trust to help me. We will go back soon but before that, I want to do the groundwork and if possible, floor it as well."


    "Investigating that woman might trigger the Fu family, are you sure about this?" Carlos asked with a frown.


    With the way Jia Li was being loved by the Fu family, he was thinking that''s the same way they protected her privacy.


    Alix moved her fingers away from his jaw and went back to sit on the couch before saying to him, "You are awyer, you should know how to do things quietly and smoothly."


    With her indirectly questioning his profession, he didn''t know what to say to her.


    "You have a big reward waiting for you if you manage to find out something interesting." Alix added with a profound smile.


    She was obviously giving him a heads up that he wasn''t going to work for her for free and that there was a big reward attached to it, in order to encourage him to work harder.


    "You really know how to entice people. I will get to work now." Carlos said before walking away.


    One thing Alix understood from Jia Li and Fu Hua''s rtionship was that Fu Hua loved Jia Li with his heart. Imagine punishing his mother and sister greatly because they bullied his wife?


    That love wasn''t an everyday affair. And because of that, Alix was set to break them apart even if she might not end up getting to be with Fu Hua.


    A monthter, Alix was forced to return to the Suarez family if she was still interested in the 1% shares.


    The will was long ready and would be read out soon, and her presence was needed to sign the agreement that belongs to her. Mr. Suarez had told her that if she doesn''te back within a period, then she has to forget about thosepany shares.


    How could Alix forget those shares when it was the very reason she had a child in the first ce. A child she didn''t breastfeed or give her milk to.


    How many times did Alix hold her child? Actually, the number of times wasn''t important but the reason behind it.


    She only holds her child when she wants to take close ''intimate pictures'' or when the caregiver is busy with something else and the child is crying a lot, then she would have no choice but to lift him while calling for the caregiver toe immediately.


    When Alix arrived at the Suarez house, she was weed personally by her old husband and a few members of the family.


    ncing at Alix whose figure had returned to its original shape and her skin was glowing, Mr. Suarez''s daughter said to her, "How did you manage to have time to take care of yourself when you just had a child?"


    She was indirectly saying that Alix only had time to care for herself and not her child since she could look this good only after 3 months plus she gave birth.


    "Don''t be jealous of my body, as this is the advantage of being younger." Alix said with a big smile on her face.


    She knew those words were going to infuriate her but she said it anyway, to get back at her.


    That night, there was a feast to wee the new child back to the family. The grandchildren of Mr. Suarez were disgusted by the disorder in their family.


    Alix was their step-grandmother, and now that she had a son, he would be their Step uncle, what a horror story in manifestation.


    Carlos didn''t go back with Alix. He spent a few more days in China beforeing back, and two weekster, he read out Mr. Suarez''s will.


    Although nobody was happy with the 1% shares given to Alix, they couldn''t say much because she had a child, and Mr. Suarez wouldn''t want to leave his flesh and blood, out of it.


    Alix smiled when she got the copy of the agreement after putting down her signature. Right now, she had full rights to the shares as she was now a part of the shareholders. But when her child turns 18, she would automatically lose the right to the shares, as he would take over.


    Later, when Alix had time, she read through the agreement she just signed and discovered that there was no loophole for her to make use of.


    She couldn''t sell the shares to an outsider as that was an inheritance. She was a minor shareholder and wasn''t allowed to attend the meeting, except the general one.


    This was a trap not a blessing. ''So much for all the trouble, I passed through?'' Alix cursed.


    A few dayster Alix left the house, leaving her child to his nanny who was immediately employed when she returned.


    Alix left to meet Carlos to inquire about the investigation she put him in.


    "Did you find out any important information?" Alix asked.


    "Don''t send me to do this kind of work for you again. I''m not from China and it was really hard for me to find her hometown and also ask questions." Carlos grumbled.


    It took him a lot of time and effort to find a piece of valuable information.


    "Okay. So what did you find?" Alix asked with an impatient gaze.


    Carlos went on to bring out the file he brought with him and passed it to her. Alix thought some important document was in there so she went on to open it but to her disappointment, there were only two pictures of some unfamiliar people.


    "What is the meaning of this?" She asked in an annoyed tone.


    "The older woman there is Miss Qin''s Aunty, Qin Mu Keer. She is her father''s sister. The other two are her children." Carlos exined.


    Alix put the pictures down on the table and red at him. "What do you want me to do with that information?"

 Chapter 569 - Meeting Mu Keer

    "Miss Qin is not on good terms with her Aunt but I couldn''t find out the reason. But anyway, you can use her Aunt to cause trouble for her." Carlos stated.


    Finally, Alix smiled. "This sounds like a brilliant idea. Did you find out where this woman lives?"


    "Yes I did and that ce is terrible. I think being on bad terms with her niece must have put her in that situation." Carlos deducted.


    "So, this means that Jia Li abandoned her Aunt after getting into the Fu family. This is good news and will make a perfect headline. I would like to speak directly with this woman." Alix said with a triumphant smile.


    She wanted to meet Mu Keer one on one to find out more secrets that could be bad for Jia Li''s image and then she came to make good use of it.


    Carlos took the picture from her and put it back inside his bag while saying, "You will need to find an excuse to travel back to China."


    "It''s time to open a business in China." Alix said with a meaningful smile.


    She was going to operate and run her own business in China. She was not allowed to work in any of the Suarezpanies and opening hers in another ce, will surely not be a big deal.


    When Alix brought it up with Mr. Suarez, he had said the distance was far.


    "It''s better than staying idle when I''m not allowed to work in any of yourpany and at least, your family won''t see me as a gold digger. I have to set up something for myself." Alix had replied.


    "I have enough resources to take care of you, why bother stressing yourself and your child is still young, are you willing to leave him and work tirelessly?" Mr. Suarez.


    "I''m working to secure a future for the two of us. If something happens to you, your family will bulky us. It''s not a bad idea to make hay while the sun shines, to prepare for the rainy days." Alix said to him. She was not willing to back down.


    Mr. Suarez was annoyed when she mentioned about something happening to him but that was the truth. He knew his family will not take it easy on her if anything happens to him.


    Now that he has agreed to let her start something for herself, he began to talk with her about changing the location but she refused.


    "In my country, your family will have the least power to attack me and I feel safe there. My mother can help me out." Alix replied.


    Mr. Suarez nced at her and asked, "Is your mother willing to take you back?"


    When Alix was forced to leave China after Fu Hua dealt with her, she had not seen or contacted her mother. And Mr. Suarez knowing that she had a dispute with her mother for a few years now, was surprised when she mentioned her.


    "I haven''t spoken with her but no mother will abandon her child when her childes to her for help." Alix said.


    Alix mentioned her mother just for the sake of getting what she wanted and she finally seeded.


    Mr. Suarez gave her some funds that will be enough to start the foundation of her business. As for the rest of the money, she had to sort it out herself.


    That was not a big deal for Alix because she had money now. Her husband''s will made it possible for all of them to inherit his shares and properties even when he was still alive.


    Having gotten the permission and the funds to start her business, Alix hired an expert to draw up a business n for her. She wanted to run a cosmetics line.


    There were so many professionals to help Alix set up her business in China. Actually, if she just wanted to rest and watch the people she paid to do the job, she would have done it, but she didn''t want to. Hence, she started making trips to China to buy a building and start the renovation. Choose a ce to start production and manufacturing.


    Knowing about her bad reputation, she was worried her business would fail, so she hid her ns from social media.


    While working on her business, she aplished one of the reasons she went back to China. She made Carlos arrange a meeting with Mu Keer.


    Carlos met Mu Keer and told her if she did a job for his Boss, she will be paid a huge sum of money. Sure, Mu Keer followed him to see his Boss. When money was mentioned, count her in. Feeding was a struggle these days.


    Alix had taken the trouble toe down to a ce close to Jia Li''s hometown to see Mu Keer. She waited in a restaurant she reserved for 3 hours.


    She had huge sunsses covering her face, and a nose mask, so her face wouldn''t be seen to avoid mishaps.


    The only thing Alix required from Mu Keer was for her to expose all Jia Li''s shorings and secrets to the media and also sign an agreement not to mention her or Carlos as the people that put her to it.


    "When you sign the agreement, the money will be yours. That will be a reward of ,000 for your hard work." Alix said to the greedy-looking Mu Keer.


    ,000 was a huge sum of money to Mu Keer, so why wouldn''t she sign the agreement and listen to Alix''s bidding?


    Mu Keer signed the agreement immediately but Alix opened the envelope brought only ,000 and passed it to her.


    Mu Keer was shocked and thought that she has been scammed but before she could ask questions, Carlos said to her...


    "Mrs. your bnce of ,000 will be given to you immediately after you reach our agreement. The ,000 should be enough for you and your children to feed and for you to pay some of your bills before we get back to you."


    Carlos also advised her to get a phone, so they can contact her when they are ready and she did that.


    Before leaving the restaurant, Alix asked the owner to give Mu Keer food enough for three people to eat throughout the day.


    Mu Keer was so happy that she thanked Alix profusely till she left her sight.

 Chapter 570 - Mike

    In July, Jia Li and Jasmine simply celebrated their birthday. They chose the same orphanage they went tost year, to celebrate with them.


    The theme for Jasmine''s 3rd birthday party was Rainbow celebration Pink and a Bubble Party.


    The Rainbow ?? celebration party was colorful. There were streamers, tes, napkins, cups and balloons in every color of the rainbow. There were also clear jars filled with rainbow candies.


    For the Bubble party, there were non-toxic bubble makers for everyone and there was also an arrangement for giant bubbles.


    Jasmine who was beginning to open up to a lot of people as a result of her attending kindergarten and interacting with her ssmates, had a lot of fun with the other children.


    Jia Li made the little girl y with the children of her age there. Later into the party, Fu Hua arrived at the Orphanage and joined them.


    Back home at the Fu Mansion, Jasmine celebrated with the rest of the family and opened all the gifts that were given to her.


    Jasmine spent her weekend in her house, and with the dogs. Ocean and the others were still very protective of Jasmine and they would always circle her whenever she came out to y with them.


    A weekter, some arrived at City B''s airport. He was a young handsome gentleman and when he spoke, you would know that he had lived outside for a long time.


    From the Airport, a car came to pick him up and drove him straight to a familiar prison. When he got into the ce, he showed his ID and said to them, "I want to meet Ms. Bai Jun, tell her that her ssmate Mike from Uni is here to see her."


    This person named Mike was here to see Bai Jun...


    After confirming his identity, they ushered him to a small room, before going to bring Bai Jun.


    When Bai Jun heard who came to see her, she was surprised and immediately followed the wardens out, to confirm if it was true.


    On seeing Mike, while standing a few distances away from him, she called out to him in surprise.


    Mike nced at her and waved to her with a smile, "Long time no see Ms. Bai."


    A few minutester... Bai Jun was already sitting opposite Mike.


    "Why did youe down to China?" Bai Jun asked with interest. The pretty daughter of the Bai family has been reduced to something else. Her skin was rough and thankfully, it looks like she recently had a bath but the stench from the prison didn''t smell good.


    Mike took out a small bottle of oil perfume from his pocket and passed it to her while saying, "I came to see SuSu."


    Immediately he said that a deep brown appeared on Bai Jun''s face and the perfume she was about to use on her body, was left unattended after she opened it.


    "If it''s Fu FangSu you came to see, why did youe to meet me?" Bai Jun asked. She hated FangSu and the hatred ran deep in her venue that at the mention of her name, she would be irritated and angry.


    Mike chuckled and said to her after seeing her angry gaze, "I need your help to meet her. You know after what happened to us, she would never agree to meet me if I contact her directly."


    "And what makes you think I will help you to meet my enemy?" Bai Jun asked.


    "I know you hate her but don''t you think it will be better if she ends up with me than her current boyfriend?" Mike asked tasting the waters at the same time.


    Bai Junughed angrily before replying, "It will be good if she doesn''t end up with anyone and remains single all her life."


    After saying that, she went on to use the perfume on herself. And when she felt better with her scent, she covered the bottle and put it inside her clothes.


    "You know that we can''t always have things our way and in that kind of situation, we have to improvise. I am the bad guy and that guy SuSu is dating is the good one, so which one will you pick for her as an enemy?" Mike asked.


    "Are you trying to make use of my brain?" Bai Jun asked. She hated it when she is being used.


    Mike sighed and exined further. "I am not using you, I am only making you see the bigger picture."


    "Since I am forced to choose between you and Junjie, then I would prefer Fu FangSu to end up with you and be caught doing drugs together." Bai Jun said.


    Mike has been caught doing drugs before but because he came from a wealthy political family he was able to escape and that was the same reason FangSu broke up with him.


    While the two of them dated for a year, FangSu was unaware of his other side until the news spread amongst their college friends and she broke up with him.


    Now, Mike was back and set to make FangSu his again.


    "It''s good that you are seeing the picture now." Mike said with a triumphant smile.


    "Don''t rejoice so soon, I can''t let you have a smooth journey." Bai Jun said to her. This was an opportunity to make some profit, so of course, she would make sure to take advantage of it.


    Mike knew she was a smart person and was going to ask for something, so he asked her to go ahead. "Ask me for anything and as long as I can get it done, I will do it."


    "Good." Bai Jun seemed very satisfied with his reply.


    "My 2 years sentence will be up in less than 2 weeks and as you can see, I don''t have anything. I need a house, a 2-weeks thorough spa treatment and a lot of money for me and for our journey to getting Fu FangSu and making her yours once again. Do you agree to the deal?" Bai Jun asked.


    Mike stretched out his hands for a handshake while saying, "Deal" Bai Jun shook his hand but he ended up ruining her mood.


    "Are you a bricyer or something, your palms are so rough!"


    Bai Jun red at him in response before saying to him, "Come and pick me up in 10 days."

 Chapter 571 - Bai Jun Is Out!

    Ten dayster, Mike came with his entourage to pick Bai Jun up from the prison, amidst the promotion that was going on for FJ''s Fashion show that wouldst for a week.


    Bai Jun made him take a few pictures of her next to his cars parked outside the prison, they went to a hotel for her to bathe and change into a new dress.


    After stepping out of the room in the dress that was bought for her, Mike passed her a new phone. "You can use this for now."


    "Shouldn''t you gift it to me? Why are you being stingy when you are so rich and powerful?" Bai Jun asked with a frown as she turned on the phone.


    "I''m already giving it to you, so how can I take it back? I got you a new line." Mike said to her.


    Bai Jun smiled and said to him, "Quickly send those pictures to me."


    After saying that, Bai Jun logged into her social media ounts and deleted all the photos she ever posted there. She was lucky to have a backup email address and she went on to change the details for all her ounts.


    When Mike sent the photos she took earlier, she selected the most perfect 2, and posted them with a caption, ''It''s good to see the sun again.''


    "Let''s go, I will take you out for lunch," Mike said to her.


    "No way! We can''t be seen together by the media if you still want Fu FangSu back in your life. If we are photographed together, and she sees it, all our ns will be ruined, so stay here." Bai Jun said to him.


    Now that FangSu was out from prison and she posted about it on her social media pages, all attention would be on her now, and if photos of her and Mike were taken and FangSu sees it, she will know they are working together before they can even start their ns.


    Satisfied with everything that was happening, Bai Jun followed one of Mike''s bodyguards to eat out, and to visit the spa while Mike remained in the hotel room and ordered room service.


    Mike''s grandmother was Chinese before migrating, so he looked like a foreign Chinese, and he was bad at speaking the Chinesenguage.


    A few hourster, those that have been expecting Bai Jun''s return since her sentence was due, were the first to see her posts, and immediately, the news spread abroad.


    Bloggers carried the news, and the news media and newspapers were not left out. Immediately, Bai Jun became a trending topic.


    (''It''s good to see the sun again'' Bai Jun''s first post in 2 years) A blogger posted along with Bai Jun''s photos from outside the prison, with a few write-ups to remind people of the family she came from, and the reason she was sentenced to 2 years imprisonment.


    ''Bai Jun is out from the prison?''


    ''Is her sentence over already, I thought there was still a long time for her?''


    ''I feel that something bad is going to happen. We are already dealing with Alix, another one had to stop by?''


    ''I don''t like this, who let her out?''


    ''I wish I could wish she has repented, but I dare not think too much of her.''


    There were so manyments regarding Bai Jun being released from prison, and the cars she stood beside to take those pictures.


    Some people wondered if she had a sponsor or if she was just seeking more attention. Someone even said...


    "Bai Jun, there is no need trying to get our attention by taking pictures besides those expensive cars. You''re being released from prison is enough attention.''


    ''Why did she have toe out so soon, she would have continued to rest there while we try to be at peace and manage the existence of that gold digger.''


    ''I feel that life is going to be hard on us.''


    ''Who dared to help her take those photos?''


    ''Look at her pictures, it''s obvious that she edited them because she can''t be looking like this when she just stepped out of the prison after 2 years.''


    ''If that was her real skin, I would have loved tomit a crime so I can be sent there ande out 2 yearster with that kind of skin.''


    ''Is she trying to tell us that she went for a spa treatment instead of hardbor?''


    ''Bai Jun, will you reconcile with your mother after she stirred up trouble that implicated you?''


    ''Fu family, please take note of Bai Jun so she wouldn''t cause any harm to your family.''


    ''What bad luck this year.''


    A lot of concern was given to the Fu family as Bai Jun was released from prison.


    Bai Jun''s release, attracted the attention of FJ staff, since she once worked there, and was sent to prison as punishment.


    Zimo was the one that informed Fu Hua of Bai Jun''s release from prison. Fu Hua who has long forgotten her existence looked a little surprised with her release.


    "Is her time up? When was she released?." Fu Hua asked and when he heard she was released in the morning, he asked Zimo again...


    "If she was sent to prison the evening of today''s date 2 years ago, but she was released in the morning of the same date, does that make sense? She still had some hours more. Is this how the rules work over there now?" Fu Hua asked with a frown.


    If this was aughing matter, Zimo would have loved tough, but it''s not like he wanted to lose his job.


    He confirmed the prison worked that way, and that''s the reason Bai Jun was released in the morning.


    Fu Hua looked very annoyed with the confirmation. "Find someone to keep an eye on her."


    Zimo took his instructions and left to follow immediately. Bai Jun did not look like a changed person, and even if she does not act evil, that wouldn''t mean that she wouldn''t have some tricks up her sleeve.


    Right in the Creative Arts department of FJ, everyone was talking about Bai Jun, as long as their superiors were not looking.

 Chapter 572 - Fair Enough

    "I can''t believe Bai Jun is so shameless as I show off right aftering out from the prison? Shouldn''t she keep a low profile now?"


    "You are already said she was shameless, so how can she keep a low profile?"


    "But showing off immediately she left the prison gates, is too much, she is really very shameless!"


    During lunch breaks, Jia Li was absent when her colleagues were talking about Bai Jun, she had gone to have lunch with Fu Hua in his office.


    "I have ever seen such a bold thief in my life." One of them said with disgust.


    "It looks like she has forgotten the reason she was sent to the prison in the first ce." Another said.


    "I love her confidence and I''m not surprised by it." Mari¨¦ said with a look of indifference.


    The rest nced at her with a big frown on their faces. "What do you mean?" Linda asked.


    "If she acts weak, she will be cursed at and more so, she will be depressed, so it''s better for her to act shamelessly while not caring about the cursesid on her." Mari¨¦ said.


    "Mari¨¦ whose side are you on?. One of them asked angrily as she couldn''t believe her words would show support to Bai Jun''s actions.


    "Why do you look like you''re about to swallow me up?" Mari¨¦ inquired. "I was only making a logical deduction and I''m not supporting anybody."


    "Actually, the right thing to do whether she means it or not is to make a public apology to everybody she offended 2 years ago." A male colleague said.


    One of them scoffed and asked, "Does it look like we should be expecting one?"


    "It''s obvious that thought has never crossed her mind, so how can we be expecting an apology from her?" Linda said.


    "Nobody should expect that confident thief to change or make an apology."


    Linda nced at her wristwatch before reminding them, "We have 5 minutes left to return to our desk."


    With that, all of them stopped talking and began to rush their food.


    "Do you have anything to say about Bai Jun being released from the prison today?" Fu Hua asked Jia Li who was busy filling her stomach with food.


    Jia Li was surprised by the question as she didn''t know if it was necessary to know her thoughts concerning an irrelevant matter.


    "Is it important?" She asked with a questionable gaze.


    "Mmmm..." Fu Hua nodded with an interesting gaze on her.


    Jia Li first swallowed the food in her mouth before speaking, "Honestly, I am not happy with her return as it spells trouble but I will be at peace if she does her thing and does not cause trouble for our family."


    Fu Hua smiled and said to her, "I like how honest you were about this matter. I asked Zimo to find someone to follow her, do you want me to go straight to the point and get rid of her?"


    "Get rid of her? Do you mean killing her?" Jia Li asked wide-eyed. If that was what Fu Hua meant, then she didn''t want that.


    Fu Hua nodded in response and even added, "It would be good to get rid of her for once, rather than being a nuisance in our sight."


    "No, you can''t kill someone. Instead, just let her be." Jia Li said with a big frown.


    Since his wife rejected that idea without thinking about it, Fu Hua brought up another idea. "Then how about we send her away from this country."


    "You mean sending her to another country?" Jia Li asked.


    "Yes." Fu Hua replied.


    "Will you do that with your money?" Jia Li asked.


    "Mmm." Fu Hua said as he picked some side-dishes with chopsticks and ced them inside her bowl.


    Jia Li watched him for a short while before saying, "If you are going to waste your money on her, then don''t do it."


    Fu Hua stopped munching on his food and nced at her in surprise. "Is this my wife being jealous?"


    Jia Li nced at him and asked with furrowed brows, "How can I be jealous, I just don''t want you to spend your money to make her leave this country,because it''s not worth it. She should be the one spending her money to run away."


    "I see, so you are protecting my money and what I do with it?" Fu Hua asked with a smile.


    "I am your wife and it is only right that I help you to be on the lookout." Jia Li replied as a slight smile finally showed on her face.


    Fu Hua picked a piece of beef and sent it to her mouth. "What should I reward you with now? Do you want to go on a weekend trip with your friends, maybe a boat cruise?"


    "Really?" Jia Li asked, a little excitedly. It has been years since shest got together with her friends and enjoyed the time alone. It was just once that she went on a pic with her friends back when she was still living in her hometown, and she had fun, so it will be nice if that can happen again.


    "Why not? There will be no me or Jasmine to disturb you." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    Jia Li chuckled softly and said to him, "I love this part. I just can''t wait to have fun without the two of you."


    "But you will miss us." Fu Hua said with full confidence. There was a knowing smile ying on his lips as he said that.


    "Till that timees." Jia Li replied but Fu Hua said immediately, "No that time won''te until I''m sure you would miss us."


    Jia Li covered her lips as sheughed hysterically. "You are so petty! I thought you wanted to reward me, now you''re talking about me missing you and Jasmine before you can reward me. Don''t you think that''s a little unfair with your act of shamelessness?"


    "That''s fair enough. Jasmine and I can''t be the only one missing you when you go out to have fun with your friends for a few days." Fu Hua said.


    He has to get something in return for making him leave her sight on a weekend.

 Chapter 573 - No Man Wants You

    "When I''m ready to take a break, I will let you know." Jia Li replied and continued eating her lunch with Fu Hua putting food in her bowl till she was satisfied.


    When she was ready to leave, Fu Hua made sure to steal a long kiss from her, which almost sucked her breath away.


    After kissing her, he gave her wet lips a final lick with his cool tongue before letting her go.


    "Was it your intention to make my lips swollen?" Jia Li asked as she used her phone as a mirror to nce at her lips.


    "Not actually, I just wanted to have a good taste of you, since there is no time to go through the other way." Fu Hua said with a smirk.


    Jia Li nced at him meaningfully and asked, "And by the other way, what do you mean?"


    "What do you think I mean?" Fu Hua asked as he took her hand in his.


    Jia Li nced at his long office table before looking away. "Never mind." She said and wanted to leave but Fu Hua immediately pulled her to his embrace.


    "What were you thinking about?" He asked as a smirk turned up on his lips.


    Jia Li didn''t shy away, instead, she responded, "Exactly what you were thinking about."


    "I must say that you have a dirty mind." Fu Hua said. "Whose fault is that?" Jia Li asked.


    "Nobody''s fault." Fu Hua replied and leaned in to kiss her again but Jia Li blocked his lips with her right palm.


    "I will be a minutete if you continue with this and that''s not going to seem right."


    Fu Hua slowly released her from his embrace and responded to her words, "Your husband is the owner of FJ."


    "That''s the very reason I should stick to the rules more than any of your employees. See you after work." Jia Li said and left after waving to him.


    A smile remained on Fu Hua''s face till Jia Li left his sight.


    When Jia Li returned to her small office, she was surrounded by a few of her colleagues who came to inquire if their Big Boss said anything about getting rid of Bai Jun.


    It looks like Bai Jun''s sudden appearance was a nuisance to her former colleagues.


    Disappointedly, everyone left back for their little space.


    That same day, Bai Jun made another post about how she spent her day. She uploaded a short video that covered her activities for the day.


    From her having breakfast to going to the spa to receive hours of treatment, to her going shopping in a high-end clothing store. Then went to dine in an expensive restaurant before going to y games before going back to her hotel room.


    She didn''t forget to record all the VIP treatment she received throughout the day.


    ''No matter how long I disappear from the face of this earth when Ie back, it''s always going to be a banger!''


    That was Bai Jun''s caption and sure, there were lots of trolls.


    ''A banger with someone''s money, who did you steal from this time around?''


    ''I''m sure she didn''t inherit anything from the Bai family, so where did she get that money from?''


    ''Someone who has criminal records surely is not fit to be someone''s mistress.''


    ''A thief like you have guts to act shamelessly, your face must be as thick as a rock. Why don''t you take natural photos of yourself and post them for us to see??''


    ''Who cares about what kind of activities you had immediately you stepped out of the prison gates?''


    ''Bai Jun, I think you should tell us the stories about your stay in the cell, surely it was the most wonderful time you have ever spent in your wasteful years.''


    While Bai Jun was being trolled, FangSu was not in the best mood.


    "Why does that bitch have to start showing off just after stepping out of prison? Where did she get the money from?"


    "Look at the kind of human being you had as a friend. You would have been like her if you were not redeemed on time." Meixu said to her.


    "She was not like that all the time we were together, I think the situation changed her." FangSu argued.


    She wasn''t saying this in support of Bai Jun but to cover up for being blind for so many years. It wouldn''t look good on her image if Bai Jun was painted ck right from the start, as that wouldn''t make her any different.


    "I''m sure you are the situation that changed her." Meixu retorted.


    "Did you leave your room ande here to taunt me? If that is so, you''d better go back and leave me alone." FangSu said in an annoyed tone.


    Seeing how pained her cousin was, Meixu chuckled heartily, "I like it when you are annoyed, it makes me satisfied."


    FangSu red at her and said, "It must be nice being single or is that no man wants you?" Immediately Meixu''s facial expression turned sore.


    "Who told you that no man wants me? I have a better character than you. Do you think if you didn''t leave Bai Jun, you would have gotten together with any man?" Meixu asked curiously.


    FangSu smiled proudly and replied, "That only shows that I have a good character but was influenced by an enemy. But what about you? There were never any bad influences from a friend but your character has made it possible for you to enjoy love from a man."


    Meixu was so angry that she picked up the throw-pillow from the bed and threw it on FangSu. "How dare you insult me?!"


    "If you don''t want to be insulted, how about you respect yourself and not look for trouble?" FangSu suggested in an angry tone. She was still angry with what Meixu had said to her earlier.


    "Who told you that no man wants me? I have many of them disturbing me but I''m not just interested to settle down yet. I am not in a hurry, unlike someone who had to hug the thigh of the first man that approached her in fear of being left alone because of her best friend''s bad influence!" Meixu retorted.


    "Who did you call my best friend?!" FangSu asked as she threw the pillow back to Meixu.

 Chapter 574 - Late For Dinner

    "Can you deny that Bai Jun was never your best friend? The record is all over social media?." Meixu asked as she threw the pillow back to her.


    FangSu was so furious that she asked Meixu to leave her room.


    "How can youe to my room to make fun of me, get out this minute!." FangSu said while pointing at the door.


    "I''m not going anywhere!." Meixu said and went to sit at the foot of her bed, much to her annoyance.


    FangSu pointed her finger at her and said, "If you don''t leave this minute when I''m being nice to you, I''m going to forgo the formalities and push you out!."


    None of FangSu''s warnings got to her head, instead, Meixu climbed on her bed andfortably said from the middle of her bed, "I would like to see you try."


    FangSu whose anger was already at the point of no return went to drag her out of her bed, but they ended up chasing each other while trying to catch the other.


    This was the scene Fu Hee saw when she went to look for FangSu. FangSu and Meixu only paused for a minute, but after Fu Hee stared at them in surprise after looking around the room and leaving them to themselves, they continued their drama.


    The expression on Jia Li''s face when she saw her sisters-inw''s looks after their fight was surprising. Her mouth was agape when she caught sight of the twoing down for dinner.


    "You... were you two ying?." Jia Li asked as she didn''t want to think they actually got into a fight.


    FangSu and Meixu red at each other before looking away.


    "I suppose you two had a fight." Jia Li muttered under her breath before shing a fake smile at them.


    "You might want to go back to your rooms and clean up a bit. You know, your fathers, and grandfather wouldn''t befortable in your current state."


    After giving them that advice, Jia Li turned around, and walked away as quickly as possible, to avoid being present when they would start to banter with each other again. She didn''t need another headache after dealing with Jasmine.


    When FangSu and Meixu had finished fighting, they had forgotten to look at themselves in the mirror after a servant hade to notify them of dinner. They had stopped fighting and left the room. Now after being reminded by Jia Li for their looks, they med each other.


    FangSu and Meixu were thest to appear at the dining table. Atst, when they had sat down, Grandfather Fu put down his ss of water and said while staring at them, "I heard you two were ying and because of that, you werete for dinner."


    "Grandfather, we were not..." Just as FangSu said that Meixu who was sitting beside her, stomped her feet with a fake smile.


    "Grandfather is not bad for adults to have fun once in a while," Meixu said immediately after interrupting FangSu who was going to put them in trouble.


    Grandfather Fu red at them before looking away. "If you want to y next time, do it at the right time and don''t keep everybody waiting at the dinner table, otherwise, you won''t get to eat at all!"


    As Grandfather Fu picked up his tablespoon, everybody started to eat their dinner. Jasmine had no problem, as the little bun was allowed to start eating earlier.


    FangSu red at Meixu before she started to eat. Meixu did the same as well. They haven''t fought like this in years, and luckily, it wasn''t a serious fight, as they didn''t inflict any injury on each other.


    The model and Actress sure made a living with their body, so they have to protect it


    Jasmine was happily eating on her own. Her best position had changed, and she was now sitting beside her mother and great grandfather. Grandfather Fu would make sure to put food on her tes before she would finish the one in her mouth.


    At times, if she wanted another side dish next to any member of the family, she would ask them for it boldly


    Fu Hua who has been picking food for Jia Li suddenly got yful. He slowly reached out his hand to touch Jia Li''s thighs. At first, he had ced his left hand on her knee, but with time, he started moving it up and down her things much to Jia Li''s difort.


    When Jia Li nced at him to know what was wrong with him, he refused to meet her gaze and continued eating as if nothing was happening. At a point, Jia Li had to whisper to him, "What is wrong with you?"


    There was a frown on her face when she said that. Fu Hua smiled a little before saying back to her in a hushed tone. "You better eat quickly."


    "What for?" Jia Li asked, but she never got a response.


    Because his hands wouldn''t stay at a ce, and he was lucky that his mother who was sitting next to him, did not catch him, Jia Li ate quickly and was the first to leave the dinner table.


    "Good night Jasmine." Jia Li said as she kissed the little girl''s puffy cheeks, and the little bun replied with her mouth full of food, "Good night mummy."


    A few minutester, Fu Hua got up from his seat and said to Fu Hee. "Mother, please make sure Jasmine gets into bed early, I have work to review, so I don''t have the time to keep waiting."


    At the surface, nothing was wrong with his request, because Jasmine was still eating, and he had important work to do which he couldn''t dy taking care of, so he had to ask for help.


    "Sure, you can go ahead. Also, take some milk up for Jia Li." Fu Hee said to him.


    Fu Hee did listen to his mother. After kissing his daughter good night, he left to get the ss of milk.


    Taking the ss of milk up to his bedroom, he found the room empty, but when he heard the sound of showering from the bathroom, a smile appeared on his lips.

 Chapter 575 - Fu Hua Wants It So Badly

    (CHAPTER RATED 18+)


    Fu Hua took the ss of milk and went into the walk-in closet. He sat on the red king-sized chair and patiently waited for Jia Li toe out. He had sneaked into the closet actually, instead of getting in the normal way.


    When Jia Li finished bathing, she wrapped herself with a big while towel before going into the walk-in closet, only to see Fu Hua sitting there.


    "What are you doing in here?." Jia Li asked in vignce.


    Fu Hua smiled and said to her, "Your mother-inw cares too much about you that she asked me to bring up a ss of milk for you."


    ncing at the ss of milk in his hand, Jia Li said to him, "You should have left in the room. I want to dress up now."


    "No, you have to drink it up quickly since already made the effort to bring it in here for you." Fu Hua insisted. He had made a special trip in here just to get his business started, so how could he just leave?


    Jia Li had no choice but to make her way towards him. Since he was here to make sure she took the milk, she stopped in front of him and took the ss from him before drinking the milk.


    She couldn''t finish the milk, so she passed the ss to Fu Hua, "Help me to finish it."


    "How much will you pay?." Fu Hua asked with a teasing smile.


    Jia Li stretched her hand out in a bid to pass the remaining ss of milk back to him. "You have a lot of money, do you still need more?"


    Fu Hua took a good look at her, from her face to her care neck, to her wrapped up body, and down to her fair thick thighs that were visible because of how short the towel was.


    "Keep the ss on the stool, I will finish itter." Fu Hua said to her.


    There was a stool beside him, so Jia Li leaned in close to him, before stretching her hand to keep the ss there. But before she could lean away, Fu Hua pulled her to sit on him.


    "What are you doing?!" Jia Li asked with a frown, but then she shut up and looked down to his waist area.


    She could feel his erection which she was sitting on, and for a moment, she had wanted to nce at it, but just remembered she was sitting on it.


    "Do you still want to know what I''m doing?." Fu Hua asked as he moved his fingers to her chest area in a bid to lose the towel which was covering her body from him.


    Jia Li reached out immediately to hold his hands, so he would not seed in losing her towel. "Darling, I''m so tired, I can''t handle you this night, and I have to be at work by 8 AM."


    "You know, you don''t have to be at work so early. I''m really horny now, since today, so I need you to quench this fire for me." Fu Hua said as he tried to kiss her, but she moved her face away.


    "Go and take a cold shower to quench the burning fire." Jia Li said to him.


    "Are you really going to be this heartless to your husband?" Fu Hua asked as he watched her get off hisps, leaving his huge bulge to their view.


    "Yes, so go and take a shower." Jia Li said to him.


    Fu Hua was so frustrated that he got up from the seat. But instead of leaving immediately, he stood in front of Jia Li and begged her for a kiss.


    "Please let me get a kiss from you, it will give me a little relieve."


    Without waiting for him to get close to her, Jia Li leaned in, and let him have her lips. Fu Hua was going crazy and really wanted her badly, so he pushed his budge, and made her have contact with it, and that was when she broke the kiss.


    "This should be enough." Jia Li said. Fu Hua sighed frustratedly before walking away.


    When he left and shut the door, Jia Li smiled to herself before going to find the perfect nightdress for tonight.


    After taking a shower after failing to relieve himself, Fu Hua went into the walk-in closet to dress up. And when he returned to the bedroom, the lights were already turned off, only the bedmp at his side was on.


    Jia Li looked to be fast asleep with the duvet covering her entire body up to her neck. Fu Hua who had wanted to ask if she was awake, to know if he could try and convince her again, gave up on the idea.


    Fu Hua sat on the bed and heaved a sigh before getting into bed, and covering himself with the duvet while facing the other side.


    Jia Li who was pretending to be asleep opened her eyes at this point. She sneakily raised her hand and put it on Fu Hua''s waist.


    Fu Hua thought she felt his presence and needed to hold him, so he let her be but the next moment, her hand sneaked into his pajamas to hold his little brother.


    Fu Hua was so shocked that he called out to her and turned around after taking her hand away from his trouser. "Jia Li!"


    Jia Li in question, chuckled and said, "Were you so shocked that you forgot I am your sweetheart and called out my real name?"


    "Are you trying to tease me? Remember, I just had a cold shower, but I didn''t seed in relieving myself. I can''t handle your jokes right now." Fu Hua said.


    Jia Li moved the duvet from her body so he could catch a good glimpse of her naked body. "Do you like what you are seeing?." She asked after she caught him staring hard at her nudity.


    Fu Hua stared at her boobs, before slowly ncing at her stomach and then down to that very ce he wanted to so badly enter.


    "Do you mean business?.." He asked in a low husky voice as he moved his gaze managed to move back to her face.

 Chapter 576 - Another Banter

    "Why not?." Jia Li asked as she sat up on the bed before climbing on top of him. Next, she moved her butt on him and leaned in to kiss his lips just before a groan could escape from it.


    While kissing him Jia Li kept on grinding her butt against him in a provocative way. She was naked while sitting on him, and he was putting on a thin night outfit while being straddled on, he was bound to feel her skin.


    Fu Hua moved his hands from her thighs up to her hips, and then to her back as he kissed her fiercely. Finally, after a deep breath, Jia Li smiled at him before pulling his little brother from his trouser and then guiding it inside of her.


    When his full length entered her, but of them let out a moan together. After Jia Li had another deep breath, she began to move her butts against him slowly, before she increased her pace.


    As she began to pounce on him, Fu Hua ced his hands on her butt and helped her to move against him. In between, he moved one of his hands to her boobs to stop it from bouncing as a result of her vigorous movement.


    That night, Jia Li fulfilled both of their sexual desires before lying on him breathlessly.


    After Fu Hua had recovered from the aftermath, he hugged Jia Li close to his body and said, "I had no idea you nned this kind of surprise for me."


    "A good s*x satisfies you, and I know. It''s my job to serve you, and I can''t bear to reject you even if I don''t want it. I already knew during our lunch break that you were in need of it, but I couldn''t talk about it." Jia Li said with a smile as she caressed his chest.


    "You are a good wife for you to know what kind of mood your husband is in." Fu Hua said in satisfaction. "But why did you reject me in the walk-in closet?"


    If she was going to give him what he wanted, what was her reason for rejecting him earlier?


    "I wanted you to have a shower first, and then surprise you. Were you pleased with my surprise?"


    Fu Hua kissed the top of her head and said, "I loved it. And I wish you would give this to me every day."


    "Forget that it would be tiring, you will be bored, and too much s*x is not good for the health." Jia Li said.


    The Jia Li of about 4 to 5 years ago, was not the same Jia Li of today. She couldfortably talk about any sexual matter with her husband.


    "Less of it is not healthy." Fu Hua insisted and a low chuckle escaped from Jia Li''s lips.


    An hourter they got tired and dozed off. The next morning, they had another battle on the bed, and just as Fu Hua released inside her andid beside her on the bed, they heard a soft knock on their door. They didn''t need anybody to tell them who was that.


    "Oh my goodness, how could she be awake by this time?." Jia Li said with a hand on her forehead.


    "Justy back and rest, I will get the door." Fu Hua said as he got off the bed and put on his night trousers.


    "If that girl sees me in bed and knows I''m naked, she is going to ask me silly questions. How am I supposed to reply to her?." Jia Li asked as she sat up on the bed.


    "Daddy! Mummy!" Jasmine called out in a frustrated tone. The little girl has been knocking, but there was no response from her parents. She was already getting annoyed.


    "Put on my shirt," Fu Hua said as he gave his pajama shirt to her, before going to open the door for Jasmine.


    Jia Li quickly wore the shirt and buttoned it before the little girl could run to her side after hugging her father.


    "Mummy are you tired?." Jasmine asked after taking a look at her mother. Jia Li looked disheveled after the morning exercise, and her eyes were still deep as a result of the ecstasy.


    "Yes, mummy is tired." Jia Li said as she lifted the little girl and ced her on her thighs before kissing her all over her face.


    Jasmine giggled and slid down from herp.


    "Princess, have you brushed your teeth?" Fu Hua asked with a smiling gaze on the little girl. Jasmine nodded in response.


    A few momentster, Jasmine left. She hade to greet her parents, immediately after brushing her teeth. She had refused to have her bath, so her nanny had no choice but to take her to greet her parents.


    Jia Li sighed in relief that the little girl didn''t ask her any silly questions she wouldn''t be able to answer.


    Meixu was all happy during breakfast. She had refused a call from the agency to sign an endorsement deal. It was not a big deal to her because she was now an A-list actress, which meant that she could easily cliche a deal. Still, Meixu was happy as things wereing so easily to her, without her having to work so hard like before.


    Immediately after a light breakfast, Meixu picked up her bag and left the house with a blooming smile. She had just gotten into her car to drive away when FangSu opened the front passenger door of her car and got in.


    "Drop by ****** restaurant," FangSu said while securing her seatbelt. She was looking all dressed up as if she was going on a date.


    Meixu found her actions rude after their warst night. "When did I say you could enter my car?"


    "You never said I couldn''t enter either," FangSu said with her gaze fixed on her.


    "Now I''m telling you that you can''t enter my car, so get out," Meixu said to her.. Since she reminded her about what she didn''t say, she had to thank her for it.

 Chapter 577 - Manager Shi Qiao

    "I''m not going anywhere!" FangSu said and folded her arms.


    "If you don''t leave my car, then I won''t drive to any ce," Meixu said to her.


    "That''s fine, we can both miss our appointments," FangSu said before adjusting the seat, so she could rest her back properly, while Meixu looked on in anger.


    Yesterday, Meixu first looked for trouble, and today, FangSu was deliberately trying to get even with her.


    Meixu was mad and was about to hit FangSu''s arm when Jia Li knocked on her side window. Meixu rolled down the window for her and gave off a fake smile and vibe.


    Although Meixu tried to look happy as if there was no problem, but Jia Li could immediately tell from her facial expression, and also when she saw FangSu smiling at her from the front passenger seat.


    "Is everything okay?." Jia Li asked.


    "It is, except that FangSu doesn''t want to get out of my car." Meixu disclosed.


    Jia Li nced at FangSu who had said to Meixu, "What''s wrong with giving me a lift, haven''t I done the same to you?."


    "FangSu,e over, I will give you a lift to where you are going to." Jia Li said with an inviting smile.


    FangSu smiled and said, "Don''t worry sister-inw, Meixu will take me. I''m going in the opposite direction to FJ, so it would be a hassle for you to drop me off."


    "What''s going on there?." Fu Hua asked with a frown as he started making his way towards them He had thought the three of them had left already since he was still inside when they came out a few minutes ago, but now he was outside and could see very well that they were still around.


    Immediately Meixu heard Fu Hua''s voice, she said to Jia Li, "Sister-inw, sorry for taking your time, but we will have to leave now. See youter in the evening."


    After saying that, Meixu whined up the car window, while Jia Li stepped back, next, she ignited the car engine and drove off before Fu Hua could get close to them.


    "Why did they leave?." Fu Hua asked with a deep frown.


    Jia Li took his arm and dragged him towards his car. "They were about to leave before I stopped them, and they were ready to leave once again before you appeared."


    "Where is Jasmine, I thought you would be the one to send her to school today." Jia Li asked as she swiftly changed the topic.


    "Grandfather said he would send her today. They will be out soon." Fu Hua said.


    Grandfather Fu wanted to send his Fu family''s little princess to school today, and he was not going alone, he was going with his army entourage. He had somewhere to go to after sending Jasmine to school, hence, the reason for the high profile today.


    Seeing Grandfather Fu with his army entourage was a reminder for the school staff of Jasmine''s family background.


    "Bye, great-grandpa." Jasmine waved to the old man after he walked her to the entrance door.


    "Goodbye." Grandfather smiled proudly and waved back to the little girl as her teacher took her hand, while the two bodyguards assigned to protect her, walked in with them.


    When Meixu got to the restaurant FangSu was going to, she stopped there and asked her to get off quickly.


    "Take it easy, I am the Fu family''s princess!" FangSu said to her.


    "And what am I? the servant?" Meixu retorted.


    "Who knows?." FangSu said and picked her bag from the side.


    "It looks like you are not ready for your date." Fu Meixu said and locked the car door and got ready to drive away, but FangSu stopped her immediately.


    "What do you think you''re doing? You asked me to step out of your car, and just when I am about to do that, you want to drive away?" FangSu said.


    FangSu and Meixu were arguing when their fans saw them and rushed towards them, then they paid the price of quarreling by taking pictures with their fans, and signing for them.


    The two had pretended to be on good terms with each other, but immediately they managed to get away from the sight of their fans, they red at each other.


    FangSu didn''t need to look for more trouble as she was already 3 minuteste to her date time, she couldn''t keep Zhang Junjie waiting, so she left the car immediately and went into the restaurant, while Meixu was already a few minuteste for the appointment, drove away on speed.


    On getting to her entertainmentpany, she took the elevator straight to her manager''s office.


    "You arete, veryte." Her manager said.


    "I encountered a bug. Where is the contract, have you gone through it?." Meixu asked as she sat on the sofa and crossed her legs.


    "Everything is perfect. You can check it yourself before you sign" Her manager said as he handed the contract to her.


    "No need, I will sign it," Meixu said after ncing at the front page of the contract.


    Since it was okay by her and she only needed to out down her signature, her manager handed a pen over to her, which she used to sign on the contract.


    "How did I get this contract? Did thepany allocate it to me?." Meixu asked.


    "Not really, the nigpany said they only wanted you to take up this role for them, and thepany let you have it." Her manager said.


    "I saw thepany''s signature there, were they here before I came?" Meixu asked as she returned the contract to him.


    "They are here already, and the general manager of thepany is also present. They signed the papers before staying back to chat with the director.


    Meixu had no idea who the owner of thepany she just signed a deal to coborate with was until she saw Shi Qiao step into her manager''s office.


    She had thought he came to see her as a guest, so she was rude to him. She asked him what he was doing in her manager''s office before asking him to leave immediately.


    It was when her manager immediately ran to pull her aside and respectfully called out Shi Qiao as ''Manager Shi'' that she was able to guess what was going on.

 Chapter 578 - Meixu Being Rude To Shi Qiao

    "The ads I''m shooting, is it for hispany?" Meixu asked with an ugly facial expression on her face.


    "Yes, didn''t you read it from the first page of the contract when you opened it?." Her manager asked.


    There was a smile on Shi Qiao''s face when Meixu turned to look at him. "It looks like you don''t read a contract before you sign it, are you not afraid of getting into trouble?."


    Meixu rolled her eyes at him and said, "My wellbeing is for me to worry about, it has nothing to do with you."


    Shi Qiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you say so."


    Meixu was in regret as she had no idea of thepany she just signed a contract with. She had merely nced at the first page of the contract, and it never dawned on her to at least check thepany she would be working for if she was toote to nce at the entire contract.


    ''Meixu what have you gotten yourself into?'' Meixu thought to herself. Now she was in a dilemma and was wondering what was hard to take 2 seconds to nce at the title page of the contract.


    There was no remedy to crying over spilled milk, the deed has been done.


    "Manager Shi, please have a copy of the contract." Meixu''s manager said as he respectfully handed the original contract to Shi Qiao, who took it from him and began to flip the pages.


    When Shi Qiao saw Meixu''s signature, he smiled in satisfaction before closing the contract and passing it to his assistant he walked in with him.


    "Miss Fu, could you pleasee with me, so we can talk about the details for the ad shoot?" Shi Qiao asked with a smile, and with his hands in his front trouser pockets.


    "I''m not going anywhere with you," Meixu replied and sat back down on the sofa, she didn''t even bother to spare him another nce as she picked up a magazine on the table and began to flip through the pages.


    Shi Qiao was not bothered by her rude actions. Instead, he smiled and nced at her manager to ask, "The contract has been signed, and I have a copy of it already, and that means that Miss Fu can start work immediately if she doesn''t have any ongoing projects, right?"


    Meixu''s manager nced at Meixu before ncing back at Shi Qiao to reply with a slight smile, "Yes."


    Meixu seemed to know where this was going to, so she immediately said before Shi Qiao could respond.


    "I already have an ongoing project, so wait patiently for your turn."


    Shi Qiao smiled meaningfully. He took his palms out from his trouser pockets and pped them together.


    "Miss Fu, I checked your work schedule this morning before you arrived. You have no current ongoing work. You have 2 weeks free time till FJ''s fashion show and your next filming project."


    Hearing that he had already checked her schedule, Meixu nced at her manager and asked, "When did my schedule be something you can share with others?"


    "The director let him see it." Her manager replied.


    This was not Shi Qiao''s first time in thepany, and he was very familiar, especially after Zhi Ruo got physical with Meixu.


    No outsider knew what kind of rtionship truly existed between Shi Qiao and Meixu at that time, and also currently. But the impression they left on them, was that they were on good terms.


    But with what was going on in front of Meixu''s manager, he was sure something wrong must have happened in their rtionship.


    Meixu thought she must correct their thoughts. The director must have thought that her rtionship with Shi Qiao now, was still the same as in the past, and that must be the reason he allowed him to see her schedule.


    "From today, nobody can have an ess to my schedule apart from thepany, and my assistant, no outsider is allowed to see it, because you don''t know what kind of while intention that is going through their mind," Meixu said to her manager.


    Meixu was very direct with her words, and her manager was afraid she might offend Shi Qiao, but looking at the person who he thought was offended by Meixu''s rudeness, he discovered that there was no need to worry because Shi Qiao didn''t take her words to heart.


    "I will take her with me now." Shi Qiao said to her manager before taking her hand and pulling her out, ignoring her protests.


    Shi Qiao''s assistant picked up Meixu''s bag and left with them.


    "Where are you taking me to? Let go off me!" Meixu said in a raised tone.


    "Don''t forget where we are, don''t make a fool of yourself, or you may appear on the news headline." Shi Qiao reminded her.


    Being reminded of her image, Meixu shrugged her hand out of his grasp. "I can walk by myself, as I also don''t want some ugly news to be written about us. I also care about my image."


    Shi Qiaoughed over her actions and led the way. Meixu joined him and his assistant in their car. Expecting them to take her to theirpany, she was rather taken to a high-end restaurant that had meeting rooms.


    "Is this where we are having the meeting?" Meixu asked with a frown.


    "Why not? This ce is good, and there are private rooms that can be used to have meetings." Shi Qiao exined.


    After they had settled into the meeting room Shi Qiao reserved, a waiter came to take their order.? Meixu ordered so many dishes she knew she could not eat finish. She wanted to waste Shi Qiao''s money, and that led to her action.


    "...and one serving of steak. Also get a bottle of the most expensive wine in your restaurant, that will be all." Meixu said and handed the menu back to the waiter.


    After watching her order different kinds of dishes, Shi Qiao asked, "Can you finish everything you just ordered?."


    "Does it matter? I want to try all the dishes in this restaurant." Meixu said.


    "Why do I feel that your interest is to burn a hole in my pocket?" Shi Qiao asked.

 Chapter 579 - Alix Presence In The Event

    "You brought me here to buy lunch for me, and also to have a meeting on the ad shoot, so please Mr. Shi, don''t insult me because I can also foot my bills," Meixu said and rolled her eyes at him.


    It doesn''t matter if she was seen through, she will still go on and do whatever she wanted.


    ''If you have nothing up your sleeves, why did you order the most expensive wine in this restaurant instead of the wine you''d prefer?'' Shi Qiao thought to himself.


    "Sir, what about your order?" The waiter asked Shi Qiao.


    Shi Qiao nced at him and replied, "Just get an extra te and cutlery."


    The waiter took the menu from him and left, while Shi Qiao''s assistant who had left them all alone in the room, came back.


    "Sir, you have a call from the office." He said as he handed the phone to him.


    "Give me a few minutes." Shi Qiao said to Meixu and took the phone to answer the call that has already been connected.


    The callsted only for a few minutes before Shi Qiao handed the phone back to his assistant and he left.


    Soon, the dishes were served. The entire surface of the round table was covered with different dishes. Meixu immediately picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.


    She tasted all the dishes that were appealing to her before putting down her chopsticks.


    "Are you done eating?" Shi Qiao asked.


    "I''m satisfied, thank you for the treat," Meixu said in satisfaction. She had seeded in aplishing her task.


    Shi Qiao smiled at her and continued to eat, and only stopped when he was satisfied. When the water came back, Shi Qiao asked him to pack the dishes for Meixu.


    "I don''t need it." She said.


    "When you go back to your agency, you can give them to your trainees, they would appreciate your effort for remembering them." Shi Qiao said.


    Since he has said it like that, she didn''t reject him, after all, it was going to be in her favor.


    "I haven''t seen you in a long time, how have you been?" Shi Qiao asked.


    "Is this part of the ad shoot for yourpany?" Meixu asked with a frown. He was asking her personal question, and she wanted to know if she was there for an official reason or a personal one.


    If it was for a personal reason, she would leave, but if it was rted to the contract she just signed, she would sit there and get it over with.


    "It is part of the work. Your wellbeing is important to us. We need to be sure you are okay before filming the ads." Shi Qiao said to her.


    Meixu couldn''t believe what she was hearing. She nced at him strangely and asked, "This is the first time I''m learning that somepanies actually care for the state of mind of their models."


    "Mypany is different." Shi Qiao said.


    Was it part of hispany policy? He knew the answer to that question best.


    "And if I say I''m not fine, what will yourpany do about it?" Meixu asked with a stubborn gaze. She was all out to give him a headache since he asked for it.


    Shi Qiao smiled and said, "We will help you to take care of it."


    Meixu got annoyed and asked him to go straight to the point of their meeting.


    When their meeting ended, Shi Qiao took her back to thepany after reminding her to be early tomorrow for the first day of the ad shoot, of which she didn''t give any reply.


    The next day Meixu arrived at his familypany 10 minuteste. It was a deliberate act, and her manager couldn''t do much about it.


    "You should have eaten on time. This is the first day of the ad shoot, didn''t you read the contract properly?" Her manager asked with a frown.


    "How many times will you say it already? I don''t know how to we will spend there, so of course, I have to take care of myself first." Meixu said without a care.


    Her manager and her assistant didn''t know what else to say to her. Whenever she decides to be stubborn, they can''t do anything about it.


    When Meixu, her manager, and her assistant arrived in thepany Van allocated to her, Shi Qiao''s assistant was already waiting for them at the entrance.


    ''Boss was right, she wouldete.'' Shi Qiao''s assistant muttered to himself.


    "I hope your Boss wouldn''t be present in this shoot?" Meixu asked as they all made their way inside the building.


    "No, he won''t." The assistant replied.


    "Perfect!" Meixu replied.


    As long as Shi Qiao was not present, Meixu would be obedient and film the ads in one take. But if he was present, she would give everyone a headache.


    Soon, it was time for FJ''s yearly fashion show. All of FJ''s staff were very busy for the big event, even till the end of it.


    So many important guests graced the event, including the entire Fu family. So many international and national celebrities were in attendance. Ministers and their wives, politicians, businessmen, and men and women that mattered graced the event.


    As usual, there was a live broadcast of the event, and only a few media outlets were invited.


    Alix did one crazy thing. She came to the event even though she was not invited. The main thing was that she didn''t go in, because an invitation card was needed for entrance.


    She just came to stir up trouble. She took pictures outside the building when most people had already gone in.


    She was in disguise when she arrived. She knew the consequences of using a stir of she allowed her face to be seen in the event she was not invited to.


    She would be arrested, or the security there would throw her out, and that would be a big embarrassment to her, so what she did was to disguise herself and took some pictures, then when most people had already gone in, she took off her mask from her face and took two more pictures before leaving immediately.


    A few people thought she seemed familiar, but before they could get a good look at her face, she put the mask back on her face and left hurriedly.

 Chapter 580 - A Notice From The Court

    Alix did not post those photos immediately, rather she waited till thest day of FJ''s Autumn Fashion show before posting them with the caption, ''just passing by'' thereby causing a buzz on the inte.


    ''Was she invited to that event?''


    ''This must be a lie, I will really lose my faith in FJ if they really invited Alix to their event.''


    ''Has Alix been forgiven?''


    ''Why did FJ invite that species of human to such a grand event''


    ''I had no idea that Alix was in town, what is she doing here?''


    ''@FJ_Styles did you really invite Alix to the Autumn Fashion show?''


    ''What''s FJ''s Big Boss stand on this?''


    ''Alix, show us your invitation because I refuse to ept that you were invited to that event?''


    ''I won''t be surprised if those photos were photoshopped.''


    ''What''s wrong with this woman always showing off?''


    ''Alix, where is your child? Did you abandon that little child toe and seek for public attention?''


    ''I can''t believe this woman wouldn''t give herself a break!''


    ''Attention seeker!!''


    ''@FJ_Styles did you really invite this kind of person to your show?''


    Many people called Fu Hua out to ask him if he actually allowed Alix to hispany''s event. Some people asked Jia Li if she was in support of it.


    When FJ saw themotion that was going on, online, they immediately released a statement after Fu Hua gave out the instruction.


    FJ thanked theizens for their concern and also revealed that they didn''t invite Alix to their event.


    "...our doors are still closed and will remain that way till further notice. We have also issued a warning to her through the court for the misleading contents, and we wish for this drama not to have a repeat."


    There were different reactions and responses from the concernedizens who have been waiting for FJ''s response.


    ''That''s what I''m saying, FJ would be crazy to invite Alix to their event!''


    ''Why do I feel like this woman is using us to y?''


    ''Wait, I want to understand something, Alix never attended the event?''


    ''Wow! this woman sure has a lot of guts!''


    ''FJ, I hope Alix would be asked to pay a fine for the misleading contents?''


    ''It would be a relief if somehow Alix was imprisoned for a week or two so she could rx.''


    Alix didn''t want to get into trouble, but waking up the next day to a letter from the court, was a sign of trouble.


    It was a final warning from FJ and also from the high court. She was never to mention or make die of tags rted to FJ. She also wasn''t allowed to take pictures with any FJ products, or near theirpany and store outlets.


    The summary of the whole list of warnings, was for her to stay clear of FJ Styles, and anything rting to it, and failure to do so would attract at least 6 months imprisonment.


    Immediately after reading the notice from the Court, Alix shredded the papers with her hands out of anger.


    "What nonsense!" Alix said while stomping on the pieces of paper.


    Carlos looked at her from the side and asked, "Do you know you can face charges from deliberately destroying and stepping on the court notice?"


    "Does it look like thew matter to me now?" Alix shouted back.


    "It will matter to you if this gets out." Carlos reminded her, but Alix was still being unreasonable.


    "Who will tell them? You, or the servants in this house?" Alix asked.


    Carlos didn''t reply to her anymore. He was doing and will continue to do her best to protect her as ''her''wyer and friend.


    In the building of herpany, Alix has been flying in and out of China. And this time around, she brought her child along because she was going to stay for a long time.


    The products for herpany were currently.


    being tasted, and soon, it will be released. This was a crucial time for her, so she had to stay.


    Just when Alix was trying to contain her anger, she heard the loud wails of her son. Her face was twisted in an ugly frown as she cursed under her breath, before going to find him in one of the rooms.


    "What did you do to him?" Alix asked immediately she barged into the room.


    The Nanny was scared of Alix hitting her and immediately answered, "The noise woke him up"


    "What noise?" Alix asked with a death re. That thought that her venting out her anger about the court notice being seen as a reason her son was wailing, didn''t dwell well with her.


    "I''m sorry ma''am." The nanny said in fear before lifting the crying child from his cot.


    "Feed him his milk and make him shut up!" Alix said before walking away.


    After she left, the nanny sighed in relief before cating the crying child.


    Soon, the content of the notice given to Alix by the court was revealed for everyone to see. Now, most people were hoping for her to make a mistake so FJ will deal with her ordingly.


    ''Now one busybody woman will learn to stay at a ce.''


    ''If I were FJ, I wouldn''t bother to give her a warning, I will just directly surprise her with a prison sentence and awsuit as a sugar coating.''


    ''FJ is making this easy for Alix, they should give her a heavy punishment.''


    ''I''m just wondering what Bai Jun has in store of FJ since she once worked for them, and was sent to prison by them.''


    Alix was fuming made reading thements about her. She broke a ss while drinking fruit juice as a result of it.


    "Next time, don''t go looking for trouble, you really asked for it this time around," Carlos said as he walked in and came to sit on the chair opposite hers.


    "If this is your way of cating me, then you can keep it because I don''t need it," Alix said while rolling her eyes at him.


    Carlos shrugged his shoulders and crossed his legs.


    Quickly, a servant came by to clean the mess and to pour another ss of juice for Alix, and also one for Carlos before leaving.

 Chapter 581 - Plans To Disrupt Jia Lis Peace

    "It''s time to get Qin Jia''s Aunt to do that interview," Alix said after taking a few sips from her ss of orange juice.


    "Why do you have to do it now?" Carlos asked curiously.


    "Now it''s the best time. Because soon, it''s going to be the death anniversary of her parents, we need to make the celebration worth all the humiliation I have experienced since this year." Alix said.


    Carlos tried to reason with her. "If you do this now, won''t Fu Hua suspect that you are the one behind it, and you are doing it to get revenge?"


    Alix scoffed and said with confidence. "He will have to abandon his work and family to personally find out that I am the one behind it."


    Whether Mu Keer was found out or not, that was none of her business. Even if Mu Keer confessed that someone put her to it, she would never be able to point them out, because she has never seen Alix''s face before, and Mr. Carlos met her with a fake identity.


    "I will arrange for some of the reporters to do the interview," Carlos said.


    "I hope you will do a good job convincing them. They may not want to interview Mu Keer since she is Qin Jia Li''s Aunt, and Qin Jia Li is now rted to the Fu family. They wouldn''t want trouble just like that, but if you entice them by bringing the proposal in a good way, they would be willing to jump right into the fire and burn." Alix said to her.


    Carlos wondered how Alix became proficient in doing these kinds of dirty works. And as if to answer the questions in his mind, she said to him...


    "Because of the kind of life I''m living, I have to keep up in my own little ways."


    The next day, Carlos gathered a few notorious reporters in a small meeting room at a good restaurant. He was in disguise, as well as a game identity.


    There were three reporters in the room with him. He asked them to ce the order for whatever they wanted after they had finished settling down.


    "Really, we can order whatever we want even when we haven''t approached the topic for this meeting?" One of the reporters asked with a big smile on his face.


    Carlos smiled and said to them, "It doesn''t matter. After eating to your satisfaction, we can talk business, but I have to warn you, that you can only order the food you can finish because I don''t like wasting food. And this restaurant doesn''t allow takeouts, so please be careful."


    The reportersughed out loud and calmly ced the order for their food. Since their client/customer was rich, they had to be careful while ordering, as he said he didn''t like wasting food or seeing food being wasted.


    After they had eaten to their fills and two waiters came to clear out their table, one of the reporters nced at Carlos and asked with a fawning smile, "Thank you for feeding us. Can you tell us the exclusive news you have for us?"


    "Yes...yes... we have eaten to out fill, it''s time to get right down to business." Another said.


    "And I wonder what kind of exclusive news you would be letting us hear." The female reporter asked with interest.


    Carlos smiled and replied, "This is a big one. This is rted to Miss Qin of the Fu family."


    The reporters exchanged nces before looking at him.


    "Miss Qin? Which Miss Qin?"


    "And which Fu family are you talking about?"


    "Is it the Fu family that we know about?"


    Carlos smiled the more and said, "It is the Fu family that you know about."


    "What! This will be a dangerous mission"


    "Yes, once it''s rted to the Fu family, we have to be sure on what kind of news we report about them, otherwise we can wave goodbye to our careers."


    "Wait, you mentioned the Fu family, which Miss Qin is rted to them? Is one of them getting married?" The female reporter asked.


    The other two seemed to be more I tweeted now. If this was about writing a piece of exclusive news like this, then they would do it.


    "Okay, you all are getting me wrong, so why don''t you keep quiet and listen to me exin the kind of news I have? And you are not allowed to interrupt me until I have finished." Carlos said to them as he was getting annoyed with how they were going out of context.


    The three reporters nced at each other before ncing back at Carlos as a way of telling him to go on.


    "This exclusive news is rted to Miss Jia Li who is married into the Fu family. There is verifiable negative news about her that hasn''t leaked because everyone has been paying attention to her good side. And, unfortunately, no one is saying anything negative about her, I mean, it''s not like she is a saint."


    While saying this, Carlos was ncing between the three reporters to study their reactions. If he hadn''t warned them beforehand not to interrupt him, thru would have loved to ask him so many questions at this point, but unfortunately, they couldn''t.


    Carlos continued with what he was saying.


    "Miss Jia''s mother was chased out of her family, and she eloped with her father. ording to Miss Jia Li''s Aunt, her mother was already pregnant before they got married. And since marrying into the Fu family, Jia Li has never visited her Aunt, who is the only remaining family of herte father. Shepletely abandoned her and her cousins after getting married into the Fu family."


    After giving hints to all the stories Mu Keer told him, he added, "This is an exclusive news that nobody knows about, and even if it is investigated, you won''t get into trouble, because the news is true."


    After a little argument, the reporters began to ask some questions.


    "Will Miss Mu Keer allow us to interview her and get the answers out of her because we can''t just publish this news like that?"


    "Of course.. She agreed for anyone toe and interview her in her ce, so the slums she and her children are living in, can be seen to prove that she is not using anybody."

 Chapter 582 - Dirty Reward

    "... You will also learn which family Mrs. Qin is from," Carlos said with his face on them. He has been trying to convince them and finally, they agreed to it.


    There were interested in the true juicy news that was going to cause stirs as long as it wouldn''t get them into trouble.


    Seeing them all agree to it, Carlos smiled to himself. "To make it look like I am not paying you tomit a crime, I will only take care of your transportation, amodation, and feeding so your work will be made easier."


    "You have already made enough provisions for us, there is no need to pay us, otherwise it will look like we are doing something bad." One of the male responses said.


    "Thank you for your understanding," Carlos said with a big smile before the female reported interrupted.


    Smiling, she probed, "Although you are helping us and putting in so much effort to make sure this juicy news gets into our hands, I''m still concerned about one thing."


    The others nced at her before gazing back at Carlos. "Please go ahead," Carlos said.


    "What is your rtionship with Miss Jia Li?" She asked. Her question was interesting, and her other colleagues wanted to know the answer to that question even though they doubted if they can get it.


    Carlos has been waiting for this question, but not this way. Anyway, he came prepared so there was no need in dying with the reply he had long prepared.


    sping his palms together, he said, "Actually, I don''t have any rtionship with either of these three people, but I know someone who does. Anyway, that''s by the way. I will give you the rest of today and tomorrow to tidy up with work and prepare toe with me to the city where you will capture your juicy news."


    The three reporters exchanged nces before nodding with a satisfied smile. Carlos made sure they left before he settled the bill at the restaurant.


    Immediately he climbed into his car, he removed his disguise and sighed in relief. Next, he picked up another phone from apartment in his car and dialed Mu Keer''s number.


    He gave her a heads up about the day for the interview, and the three reporters that would be bing.


    "...you only need to act like yourself, and tell them everything you want the world to know about your niece, don''t hold back."


    My Keer nodded in agreement and asked, "When will I get my remaining bnce?"


    "You will get it when the work is done!" Carlos said to her, but in his mind, he wasughing.


    After the call ended, Carlos drove straight to Alix''s ce to inform her of the good news.


    Alix was sitting in the sitting room drinking a bottle of white wine when Carlos walked in. She smiled mysteriously and said, "Tell me that was a sessful meeting."


    "If the meeting wasn''t sessful, what are you going to do about it?" Carlos asked as he poured himself a ss of wine and sat on the couch opposite of hers.


    "You wouldn''t be sitting here having a bottle of wine with me. Tell me what I want to hear so you can get your reward." Alix said to him with a slight smile.


    Carlos smiled back at her before breaking the good news to her, and also gave her feedback on the arrangement he made. Alix smirked maliciously and said to him, "Make sure everything goes smoothly."


    "Sure, I can''t afford to ruin my efforts of how many months," Carlos said. Alix has made him investigate Jia Li some months ago, and he was someone who didn''t like to waste his strength on something that wouldn''t work, and once he started to do something, whether evil or good, as long as he has out his efforts in it, he must see to it that it works.


    "Good boy, now I will give you your reward," Alix said as she put down her ss on the stool, and went to sit on Carlos''s thighs.


    "What are you doing? what kind of reward am I getting?" Carlos asked with his hands spread out.


    "What kind of reward were you hoping to receive?" Alix asked in a soft tone as she loosened his necktie.


    "Maybe a week break from you would have been enough," Carlos replied. He has been hoping to get a break from Alix and her madness, but his wishes were not forting.


    He had thought he would at least be given the right to choose the kind of reward he wanted, but no, she got to make the choice for him.


    "Why would you want to run away from me? What I''m going to give to you, will be far more than you can ask for." Alix said after unbuttoning the third button of his shirt and leaned in to kiss him while slipping her fingers inside it.


    Carlos broke the kiss and asked, "Do you realize where we are? This is the sitting room, and the servants cane in at any time."


    "No one will dare to step into this ce without my permission. I already asked everyone to stay away from me this evening." Alix replied with a smile as she circled her arms around his neck.


    "You sure were already prepared before I came in," Carlos said as he thought that Alix was getting brazen day after day.


    "Why not?" Alix said and leaned in to kiss his lips. From giving him hot kisses on his lips, her hands went straight to his trousers to lose the belt, before unzipping.


    "What are you going to do next?" Carlos asked a little breathless as she broke the kiss.


    "You will see," Alix said with a fantastic smile. She put her lips on him to give him a BJ, before slipping him inside of her.


    In the sitting room there, the sounds of their lovemaking were trapped, and Alix made sure to keep her voice down, as well as Carlos.


    When the finished and Alix imed down from his body a little breathless, Carlos said, "How can you partake in the present you are giving to me?"


    "Trust me, you wouldn''t get a dime if I''m not pleased or also partake in it," Alix said.

 Chapter 583 - Business On A Resort

    Fu Ling had a meeting with an investor in a faraway city, still within Country C, and for this, he was going with his personal assistant.


    The meeting had been scheduled about 2 weeks ago, and they were both aware of it.


    Yesterday, Fu Ling gave Xin half a day off to prepare for their which was in the morning of the next day.


    The next day, which is today, they two met in the office. Xin had arrived before Fu Ling almost do 30 minutes now.


    When Fu Ling stepped into the Airport and Xin saw him from where she was sitting, she began to think, what if she didn''t have to be his secretary, and what if their fake rtionship turned out to be real. It has been a year since she entered this fake rtionship with him.


    It is no fun for her, as nothing much changed apart from bringing her to a few of his family events, and buying her the outfits for those events. Apart from that, he doesn''t do any other thing, not even buying her lunch or trying to get to a personal level with her.


    He treated her like a business partner, dealing with a contract and nothing more, which was hurtful to her, because she had true feelings for him, and with her following him around like this, she was afraid her thoughts would be found out by him.


    Xin waved so that Fu Ling could see her, and he did see her because he started to make his way towards her.


    "Mr. Fu you''re here, let me help you with your luggage," Xin said as she stretched her hand out to take his bag, but he rejected her.


    "No need, I can hold it myself. It''s about ten minutes before check-in, let''s sit and wait." Fu Ling said after checking the time on his wristwatch.


    Xin nodded and showed him the way.


    Thirty minutester, their ne took off. Xin was happy to be sitting in the first ss with Fu Ling. He could have booked a business ss or an economy ss for her, but he did not.


    Xin could not rejoice no matter howfortable and rxed it was to be sitting in the first cabin. She knew he was only doing this because she was helping him out.


    On getting to the airport, the taxi of the resort they had booked, came to pick them up and drove them straight to the resort.


    "What time is the meeting today?" Fu Ling asked after some minutes of silence in the ride to the resort.


    Xin whipped out her phone from her handbag to check his schedule. "7 pm at ****** club."


    Fu Ling nced at his wristwatch and said, "there is enough time to rest before the meeting time." Xin agreed with him.


    When they got to the resort, the manager came to wee them and showed them to their separate room. When asked if he would be interested to be given a tour, Fu Ling rejected that idea.


    "I didn''te where for recreation, I came for a business meeting." Fu Ling had replied.


    It''s unfortunate that Xin wouldn''t get the time to rx and take a break off from work with Fu Ling''s arrangement.


    Fu Ling and Xin''s rooms were next to each other. Fu Ling had nothing else apart from business in mind when reserving their rooms.


    He always thinks he would do a better job than others in some kind of work, so he arranged this meeting himself.


    As something coulde up, it would be good for Xin to be next door.


    After they were shown to their rooms, they went straight to take a shower before food was delivered to them.


    Before eating, Fu Lingmunicated with Xin through the resort''s inte. He had asked her toe over to his room when she was done having her food, to talk about work.


    Xin chose a not too casual kind of outfit to dress in. Her Boss has always been seeing her in official clothes, so she decided to go something out of point.


    Something out of point in the sense that, she was trying to get his attention by trying a different kind of clothing. She chose an armless knee-length dress, and her hair, she let it down after washing it with an expensive shampoo and conditioner.


    She wore a small pair of earrings and applied light makeup on her face. For her lips, she applied pink color lipstick.


    Putting on the fluffy slippers arranged by the resort, she nced at herself in the mirror before leaving for Fu Ling''s room in satisfaction.


    Knocking on his door with a pounding heart, she was beginning to regret if she had gone a little far with her feelings for her Boss.


    ''Maybe I shouldn''t dress this way, maybe I should just change back to my normal looks'' Xin thought as she withdrew her hand from the door and took a step backward.


    Just as she was about to turn and leave, Fu Ling opened the door for her.


    ''It''s toote'' Xin thought and turned to look at him. Catching the surprised look on his face, her heartbeats elerated.


    Fu Ling was surprised to see this look of his personal assistant. Not that he has not seen her that way before, but because this was a casual stuff.


    The times he had pulled her to some of his family events over thest year, she used to dress more than that, but he just wanted to have a business meeting with her, but with her dressed that way, he didn''t know what to think.


    Xin who was beginning to get ufortable with his gaze, said immediately, "I... thought I could dress casually for once since we are not in the office, but...but I will change my clothes now, please give me 5 minutes."


    Fu Ling finally fixed his gaze on her face and said, "I don''t have that time. You cane in, and please tie your hair."


    After saying that to her, Fu Ling turned to leave, but Xin immediately said to him, "I don''t have a band with me."


    "Come in that way.." Fu Ling said and walked inside, leaving her at the door.

 Chapter 584 - Father And Daughter Conversation

    Xin was ufortable after Fu Ling made those remarks concerning her looks. She couldn''t concentrate on the meeting anymore. She kept readjusting herself until Fu Ling couldn''t take it anymore.


    "What is wrong with you?" Fu Ling asked with a deep frown on his face, he seemed to be irritated with her fussing about.


    "I''m sorry Boss." Xin apologized immediately with shame.


    Fu Ling was quiet for a while as he watched her before he continued, but this time around, he didn''t take much time. He wrapped u the meeting within a few minutes and asked her to go back to her room to rest.


    "...I will call you when it''s time for us to leave." Fu Ling said before she left for her room.


    Xin bowed before leaving, and just as she got into her room, she pped her right cheeks, as she was disappointed in herself. She was the one that ended up being ufortable since she news not used to that act.


    Back at the Fu Vi, this little one named Jasmine wouldn''t let anyone help her with her assignment.


    "Mummy, I can do it myself," She said while jumping to her feet with her arms raised, in a bid to snatch her book back from her mother.


    "Won''t you let me help you, I don''t want you to make a mistake?" Jia Li said with a frown.


    No matter how she tried to convince the little girl, she wouldn''t budge. Fu Hua came to try his luck, but he was rejected abruptly.


    Finally, Jia Li resorted to threatening her. "Jasmine, if you don''t let me help you with your assignment, you will be left alone in this big house in a few days."


    "I will stay with great Grandpa," Jasmine said without looking up.


    "No, great-grandpa ising with us." Jia Li replied with a mean gaze.


    Jasmine looked up at her and said, "Then I will stay with grandma and grandpa."


    Jia Li said in response, "Didn''t you understand what I''ve been saying to you, everybody ising with us, including your aunties and uncles."


    Jasmine pouted her lips and nced at her father who was trying really hard to keep a mean face.


    "What about daddy?" The little girl asked.


    Jia Li immediately hooked her arm around Fu Hua''s arm and said with a proud gaze, "Your daddy ising with me, and you will be the only one left in this house."


    "No! Daddy will stay with me!" Jasmine insisted as she closed her school book and got to her feet.


    ''Is she getting ready for a fight?'' Fu Hua thought as she watched his little girl in amusement.


    "Daddy will bring you with us if you let us help you with our homework." Jia Li said with a re.


    "No! I want my daddy!" Jasmine said with a cry as she ran to hug her father''s thighs.


    Thinking that it was a joke, Jia Li insisted on taking Fu Hua with her to leave the little girl in the room, until she sat on the floor and burst into cries.


    Fu Hua had to cate her, and also assure her that he would take her with them, and only then did she stop crying.


    "I''m just wondering where she learned these tactics from." Jia Li said with her hands on her waist while staring at the little girl that was sobbing in her father''s arms.


    "It''s an instinct." Fu Hua said with a smile as he patted Jasmine''s back.


    Jasmine learned a lesson as a result of her mother''s threat. When she had calmed down, she allowed her father to help her with her assignments.


    "How long are we spending in my hometown?." Jia Li asked Fu Hua in-between helping their little bun with her homework.


    "3 days." Fu Hua replied. They were all preparing to leave for her hometown to visit her parents grave.


    When the little bun was through with her assignment, she could take stop talking. She continued chatting about it until Fu Hua engaged her in a conversation, asking for her opinion.


    The scene of the CEO of a Luxury Designer Brandpany chatting with a 3-year-old soon went viral. Jia Li recorded a minute video of their interaction and posted it on her social media ount.


    There were so many heartwarmingments under that post. Some people couldn''t believe how patient Fu Hua could be with his little daughter, because as the CEO of that popr fashion brand, he should have a lot to take in every day at work.


    Seeing the love and patience Fu Hua had for his little daughter, brought admiration and respect to him.


    As for the little bun who talked a lot in the video, many people thought of her as smart, charming, cute, beautiful, and a little girl with a strong personality just like her father.


    Layer that night, Fu Hua reposted that video with the caption...


    ''I love having conversations with my little girl. Thanks love for recording it.''


    "You can show off all you can now because soon, you won''t be able to do that," Alix said while holding her phone and staring at Jia Li''s post.


    Jia Li''s caption read, ''I''m beginning to get jealous of this father and daughter conversation.''


    To Alix, she was showing off, so she was angry. Unlike before, Alix would have smashed something to vent her anger, but because of the big ns she has that would unfold in a few days, she learned to be calm.


    Back at the resort Fu Ling and Xin were staying at, they had just finished dressing up and met each other at the entrance of the resort.


    A driver from the resort was good to send them to the club, where they would meet the clients.


    This time around, Xin dressed professionally in a business suit and pants. She was now looking like herself in her usual working days, and Fu Ling was satisfied with it.


    After stepping into the car, Fu Ling checked the time on his wristwatch and asked the driver, "How long will it take us to get there?"


    "Ten minutes." The driver replied.


    Xin got into the front passenger seat with the documents in her hand, which Fu Lingter took from her.

 Chapter 585 - Given Into Temptation

    When they got to the club, there was a slight frown on Fu Ling''s face. He didn''t frequent the clubs back in City B, so their lifestyle was foreign to him.


    "Walk closely with me." He said to Xin as he pulled her close to his side. His actions warmed up her heart, but she fought really hard not to show it. Instead, she thanked him and stuck next to him.


    After settling down in their booth, a few minutester, the two investors arrived with their female partners.


    Actually, there was one main investor, but he brought his friend along who was quite interested in the deal. This was not a problem for Fu Ling, as he knew about it before making the trip.


    When Fu Ling wanted to bring out the contract to talk about it with the investors, they asked him not to bring it out.


    "Mr. Fu, today is for merriment. We will only drink and talk about business, as did the contract, we will talk about it in the morning tomorrow." The main investor said.


    "Shouldn''t we talk about the deal first before the merriment?" Fu Ling asked with a frown as he didn''t understand their kind of order. They were doing things the wrong way.


    "Miss, try to smoother his brows, I''m already feeling dizzy from looking at them." The second investor said. He was referring to Xin. He thought she was hispanion.


    Fu Ling immediately corrected their wrong impression with a deep frown, "She is my assistant."


    "She is too beautiful to just be your staff." The second investor said as he returned his gaze to Fu Ling.


    Fu Ling got to his feet and said, "Since we are not signing the contract today, let''s meet in the morning tomorrow."


    "Mr. Fu, it will be rude for you to leave us here. We are not talking about the contract, but we are talking about your gamepany. It is very important." The first investor said.


    He said they couldn''t sign the contract today, but the next day. But that didn''t mean they were not going to talk about something important.


    Xin also felt that just working out on them would be rude, so she agreed that they should stay back and have a few drinks with them, while also talking about their business.


    Fu Ling finally agreed and sat back down. Xin offered to drink on his behalf, but he rejected the idea.


    There was no need to worry about who was going to drive since the resort deligated a driver to them.


    At the end of the meeting, Fu Ling was half drunk. He was tipsier, but notpletely out of it. Xin took his arm and led him aside, while trying to steady him, after saying goodbye to the investors.


    Luckily, she didn''t drink any alcohol, so she could support him. Well, the fact is that Fu Ling did not allow her to drink any alcohol. While they were all drinking alcohol, she was drinking a bottle of don''t drink.


    Xin was able to support Fu Ling to the entrance before their driver saw them, and rushed to assist her.


    In the car, Fu Ling ced his palm over his eyes before asking Xin who had joined him at the back seat, "What do I look like right now?"


    Xin was tongue-tied as she wondered what kind of question he was asking. ''Did it matter what he looked like at this point?'' She thought to herself.


    After waiting for some seconds without hearing any response from her, Fu Ling moved his hand away from his eyes and nced at her.


    "I asked a question, why is the reply taking so long toe?"


    Xin was forced to reply, "You look like you need to have a long rest."


    Without warning, Fu Ling leaned in towards her, and she immediately leaned her back towards the car door in fright.


    "Are you ashamed of me?." He asked after managing to see the fright in her eyes.


    Ashamed of him? She was more scared of his actions in that state.


    Thankfully, Fu Ling leaned away and gave her a breathing space.


    The driverpletely ignored them When he got to the resort, he wanted to help Fu Ling out of the car, but he refused. He also didn''t allow Xin to hold him as well.


    He only found out that he really needed an assistance when he almost hit his face on the wall after managing to make a few steps unscathed.


    Finally, Xin was allowed to hold him, and she helped him into his room. Helping him to the bed, she began to take off his shoes.


    Lastly, she took off his tie, and it was at that moment that temptation came.


    Fu Ling looked as if he had fallen asleep whileying on his back. And as Xin watched him with his eyes closed, the temptation to feel his face and his lips, set in stronger than before, especially when she saw his lips.


    Giving in to the temptation, she leaned in to check his lips. She had almost seeded, but Fu Ling opened his eyes at that point.


    "What are you doing?" He asked with a deep frown.


    Xin was so scared that she immediately jumped off the bed, butnded her butts on the hard floor. She winced in pain as she sat there for a few more seconds.


    Fu Ling sat up on the bed, and nced at her, as he was still trying toprehend what she was trying to do to him, and how shended on the floor.


    With Fu Ling staring at her like that, Xin didn''t feel settled. She immediately got to her feet and apologized to Fu Ling before running away.


    Fu Ling who seemed to be feeling slightly better, had his gaze fixed on the tightly closed door for a few seconds before withdrawing it.


    He sighed before getting himself from the bed, and into the bathroom to have a shower. she emerged a few minutester in his nightdress and went straight to the bed toy his head.


    Xin couldn''t sleep when she returned to her room.. As the thought of being caught red-handed hunted her.

 Chapter 586 - The Interview I

    The next morning, Xin woke up with dark circles around her eyes because she didn''t sleep properly. She was lucky enough to wake up a few minutes before she would bepletelyte for the meeting.


    It was an important day, the day to sign the contract. She quickly got out of bed and jumped into the bathroom. Meanwhile, Fu Ling was already dressed and waiting for her.


    Luckily, Xin made it out of her room before Fu Ling could ask the workers in the resort to breaking down the door.


    "What took you so long?." Fu Ling asked with a frown.


    "I''m sorry." That was the only words Xin replied with.


    Fu Ling didn''t say anything more to her. He led the way and she followed immediately. Two hourster, the deal was signed and they returned to the resort to gather their belongings and embark on a journey back to their City.


    All that was going through Xin''s mind, was if Fu Ling remembered her actionsst night or not, because he didn''t mention it, and for this reason, she was scared.


    She med herself for being tempted and almost going through with the petty action she wasn''t brought up with. She was ashamed of her actionsst night and wanted to get out of his sight.


    Till theynded at the airport and departed, Fu Ling didn''t say a word to her, which made her conclude that he really caught her in the act the previous night.


    Sitting alone in the taxi as it drove her towards her destination, while a driver from the Fu family dame to pick Fu Ling up, Xin felt sullen.


    Somewhere around Jia Li''s hometown, the three reporters Carlos hired, arrived at Mu Keer''s area. They were surprised at the kind of ce someone who was rted to Jia Li lived.


    They didn''t even need to locate her house to conclude how poor Mu Keer was, and how much she has been suffering.


    "Is it the ce Miss Jia Li''s Aunt lives?" The female reporter asked as she took out her phone to take pictures.


    "This is arge contrast whenpared to her current living status." One of the male reporters said while using his camera to video the surroundings, while the other male reporter jotted down his findings.


    "Come, let''s go on, that Mr. said she lives in that house over there." The female reporter said while pointing at Mu Keer''s house which could be visible from the ce they were standing.


    Quickly, the three made their way over there, with one of the male reporters recording the other two.


    Right in front of Mu Keer''s door, the female reporter started reporting, while the other male reporter, knocked on the door.


    "This is ***** reporting for ***** news. Currently, we are standing in front of the house which happens to belong to Miss Jia Li''s Aunt. Someone tipped us where she is living, and Miss Mu Keer also agreed to meet us."


    As the other male reporter was about to knock for the third time, Mu Keer answered the door looking all grumpy, but immediately she saw the reporters, she managed to smile.


    She didn''t want to look all happy since she was aware of what the interview was for. It wouldn''t seen good if she was smiling while in a horrible situation of abject poverty, so she thought.


    "Miss Mu Keer, right?" The female reporter asked for confirmation as she and the others managed to hide their surprise.


    The person they were looking at, was looking old and haggard. Her skin was full of wrinkles. Her looks were a surprise to them.


    "Yes, I am Qin Mu Keer, Qin Jia Li''s Aunt." My Keer confirmed.


    "Can wee in?" The female reporter asked.


    Mu Keer tried to hide her embarrassment while saying, "My home is terrible, and not fit to wee anybody, but if you are okay with it and don''t end up getting offended, you cane in."


    The reporters did mind, but they came here for business, so they followed her into her house. When they came to what looked like her living room, they couldn''t understand what was going on.


    Mu Keer nced at them with a smile and said, "As you can see, I don''t have any TV, radio, or furniture here again, because we have sold every valuable just to feed. My children and I now sit on the mat, which doesn''t matter now."


    Alix had given her some money, but because of this interview, Mu Keer couldn''t make her home look good, and besides, she and her children had to first eat to stay alive. If she bought anything new, her debtors wille and carry them, so eating was a priority over any other thing.


    "Do you not have a job?" The female reporter asked.


    Mu Keer quickly replied, "Who will dare you hire someone who will ask for an upfront payment in this kind ofmunity where everyone is thriving?"


    "Are you trying to say you don''t have a job because no one will hire you? But why would you need an upfront payment?" The female reporter asked again.


    "There is no one supporting my children and me, and we have incurred a lot of debts to the point that our debtors have taken everything valuable we own, and now, we have to struggle to feed. I can''t work while hungry, hence I have to ask for an upfront payment. But my two children still try to support us." Mu Keer replied.


    The female reporter nodded and went straight to the next question.


    "Your children don''t go to school, and you mentioned that Miss Qin Jia Li is your niece, howe there has been no help from her, or are we getting things wrong?".


    Mu Keer''s humbled gaze changed. She no longer looked embarrassed or meek, now, she loved like a tigress, ready to hunt down her prey.


    "Please, sit on the mat first." She said to them while featuring with her hand.. She had a lot of things to say to them, so they would have to sit first so they wouldn''t be worn out from standing for a long time, and get impatient with her.

 Chapter 587 - The Interview II

    The reporters were disgusted to sit on the dirty mat, but since they were filming and this was an interview, they had no choice, otherwise, they would have preferred to stand.


    "You asked about my niece, you didn''t get anything wrong. She has been of no help to me and her cousins. She is ungrateful, I mean, how can she treat her father''s only family this way? Since she got connected with the Fu family, she deserted us." Mu Keer said.


    The female reporter exchanged nces with her colleagues before asking again, "Can you please talk more on this matter? You have to make your words clear, and also prove that you are not using your news of anything."


    Mu Keer knew that her words will be proven once the interview is released for everyone to see, so she agreed to say everything she had in mind.


    "I am not afraid of anything! Since Jia Li got connected with the Fu family, she abandoned me and my children. It''s not wrong for her who is connected to that kind of family to help her poor aunt and cousins. On her own, she didn''t help us, but when I asked for help, what did I receive? Insults! She insulted me and refused to help me. She was so heartless to me, and even to her cousins. We could barely eat once a day, while she is in the city, livingrge.


    She refused to give me money, very well then, but when I sought for amodation in my brother''s ce, she locked up that ce and the Fu family ced the security over there so I can''t get close to the house. It''s not like she is living there. Since my brother and his wife were buried, Jia Li has not stepped foot in that ce, and you can ask their neighbors who would confirm what I''m saying. How can she be so wicked and mean to disy this kind of action towards her own family?


    Now, I''m thinking the reason the Fu family supports her is that she must have said something bad against me."


    "Have you met any of the Fu family members before, and where did you meet them?" The female reporter asked.


    Mu Keer sighed and feigned a sorrowful look. "It was a few days to my brother''s funeral when I came to visit. I saw the old man of the Fu family and one of his grandsons there, who my niece is currently married to. They were polite to me, and that was the veryst they acted that way to me. But before I was allowed toe and pay a condolence visit to Jia Li, I was not allowed entrance for two consecutive times."


    "You were not allowed to enter your brother''s house when you came for a condolence visit? And why did you think you were not allowed entrance?" The female reporter asked with a surprised gaze


    "Yes." Mu Keer confirmed. "And if the Fu family would be truthful, they can easily prove me right. I was not allowed entrance for a reason I have no idea of. But I think Jia Li didn''t want me to know she was connected to the Fu family, so she rejected my visit twice before I was finally let in on the third visit."


    The reporter was calm for a few moments before asking, "Why don''t you think it''s because of the high profile of the Fu family, and your niece was scared of disturbing their peace instead?"


    The reporter thought that Mu Keer must have been mistaken, and tried to make her see the situation in a different light.


    Mu Keer refused to back down and insisted on her spection. "No, that''s not the case. There was nothing to be ashamed about me then, and it''s not wrong to introduce me to them, as her only family at that time."


    The reporter didn''t argue with her as it was not her job, so she moved on to the next question, "Was Miss Jia Li always like this to you before she got to know the Fu family?"


    "She was not this way and has never acted that way towards me before she met the Fu family. I think she just further revealed her true colors because of the connection she had." Mu Keer replied.


    She would say anything just to make Jia Li look bad.


    "From what you have said so far, we can deduce that your niece was familiar with the Fu family before her parents died, when did she get connected to the Fu family?" The reporter asked.


    This was an important question she wanted to know about.


    "I have no idea how and when that happened, but I learned from her neighbors that she had traveled to the city and stayed over for a few days, but before then, the old man of the Fu family, had been seening out from my brother''s house. I''m sure she must have done her best to get on their good side, if not, how could she have lived with them for so long after her parents died, and even managed to get married into their family?" Mu Keer said with jealousy.


    "It looks like something dark is happening behind like another picture is being painted in public. Can you tell us your thoughts on how your niece is being viewed by a lot of people?" The reporter asked.


    Mu Keer was nk because of the question as she didn''t understand.


    "I don''t know what people say about her. Thest time I saw her on news was at her graduation. I don''t have a Tv or a good phone, and I also don''t read the papers." Mu Keer replied.


    The reporter had no choice but to tell her how Jia Li was viewed in the outside world. Visible anger could be seen on Mu Keer''s face as she immediately interrupted her...


    "Lies! Can''t they see how well she is treating her father''s only sister and her cousins? Can''t they see how selfish and wicked she is?! In fact, I didn''t want to say this, but now, I''m going to say it. Jia Li is a greedy bastard and she is not even my brother''s child!"


    "What?!!!"

 Chapter 588 - The Interview III

    The reporters were shocked by her words and revtion. Forget about her cursing her niece, but we just said that she wasn''t her brother''s child?


    The three reporters were so shocked by her revtion that no words could leave their mouths.


    Mu Keer was also shocked that she had revealed her trump card in a moment of fury. She was provoked by the way people saw Jia Li as an angel, while she abandoned her rtives and was living a good life.


    She couldn''t have it and blurted out the secret she has been keeping for a long time, even though she once identally revealed it to Jia Li in anger, but she doubted if she had believed her words.


    Now that she had already said it out, she couldn''t take back her words. She was already being filmed from the onset, so it was toote.


    Since she couldn''t take back her words, she could only add more fuel to the fire.


    "Are you shocked? This must be quite a big news right? Jia Li is not my brother''s daughter. Her mother was pregnant before she eloped with my brother." Mu Keer said in full confidence.


    Mu Keer was still revealing more secrets up till now. She had just revealed that Jia Li''s mother had eloped with her father.


    The female reporter knew that things had turned serious, so she stopped smiling, cleared her throat, and began to ask questions.


    "Why are you so sure that your sister-inw''s pregnancy has nothing to do with your brother?" The reporter asked.


    Mu Keer smiled and said, "I will save you the stress of asking random questions by telling you the whole story. Jia Li''s mother is from the Huang family, yes, the Big Huang family that you know."


    The reporters were shocked by another bomb that was thrown at them without warning.


    ''Jia Li was rted to the Huang family through her. mother? The big Huang family?''


    Mu Keer continued, "Huang Li was her name. Her family didn''t want her to marry my brother, so she ran away with him. Luckily, my father epted them. I don''t know the man responsible for her pregnancy and was even shocked to learn that the child didn''t belong to my brother. Even the Huang family did not know their daughter was already pregnant for another man before eloping with my brother."


    shback...


    In thete months of Huang Li''s pregnancy, before Mu Keer got married she was sitting on the bed in their room with a troubled gaze on her abdomen.


    Mr. Qin walked in and saw her worried gaze before hurrying over to her side. He sat beside her on the bed and asked, "What happened? Is she kicking you a lot?"


    "If only she would do that, I will be happy. She is still as quiet as we have known her to be." Hang Li said with a slight smile on her face.


    "She is our obedient little girl, and she is calm just like you." Mr. Qin said as he stretched his hand to caress her baby bump.


    Suddenly, Huang Li felt tearful and squeezed her husband''s fists. "Why are you crying?" Mr. Qin asked in rm.


    "I''m so lucky to have you in my life. Thank you for epting me and my child." Huang Li said.


    Mr. Qin used his palms to wipe her tears and said, "What are you thanking me for? I love you so much that I''m willing to bear your burden with you, and besides, the baby is now my child, so don''t ever talk like this again."


    Huang Li sniffed and looked him in the eyes. "I still have to thank you, and I hope nobody else will find out about this. If my father knows about this, he wouldn''t mind that he has disowned me, he will force us to be apart, and force me to marry that man."


    "It''s okay, nobody will know about it. I have already epted the baby as mine, and my father has no problem about it, so this will stay only between us. Don''t worry, nobody will find out about this, and nobody can separate us."


    Mr. Qinforted her, and brought her to his embrace, without knowing that Mu Keer has been eavesdropping on them. Mu Keer who heard this secret covered her mouth in shock and slipped away.


    "Don''t worry, I will take care of you and our daughter, and I assure you that we won''t have any other child. It''s okay to have only one so we can pour all our love and attention on her." Mr. Qin said to assure her.


    He was afraid that Huang Li will think he won''t love Jia Li as his child anymore if they had a child between them, so he made that promise, which was upheld even till his death.


    Huang Li had asked him not to make that promise, but he insisted on it. And to make her not feel bad, he added, "It will be a hassle to have more children, and I am not rich. Let''s train our daughter and give her everything she wants. She must notck anything she desires."


    "Is there a way to confirm that Miss Jia Li is not actually your brother''s child? Her parents have been dead for 5 years now, and there is there no way to confirm what you are saying?" The female reporter asked. This was not a child''s y.


    "As you said, my brother and his wife are dead. And I also said that the Huang family did not know their daughter was already pregnant before leaving. There is no way to confirm my words, but I''m saying the truth." Mu Keer insisted.


    The reporter shook her head and said to her, "It doesn''t matter if your words are true or not, as long as you can''t prove it, you might get in a big trouble."


    Mu Keer became scared of her life, and going to prison and immediately blurted out, "Why will I get in big trouble simply because I can''t prove the truth? Unless the person she had a rtionship with before meeting my brother wille out and confess the truth. And I think she ran away from home because she refused to marry the suitor her family had arranged for her.. I don''t know, go and ask the Huang family or make your own private investigations."

 Chapter 589 - The Interview IV

    The reporters didn''t want to get in trouble for the recent revtions she was making, so they immediately changed topics. This was truly a big revtion that would either make or mar them.


    "Why did you choose to ept this interview, and reveal all your niece''s secrets? What''s your aim?" The female reporter asked.


    Mu Keer didn''t flinch, instead, she was very proud while answering the question.


    "I want everyone to see the kind of person they thought was an angel. I also want Jia Li to pay for letting me and her cousins suffer when she had the ability and the resources to help us. I have been a good person for a long time, but it didn''t pay me. Being a bad person won''t pay me, but at least I can return the favor to my dearest niece."


    There was nothing to ask her again, and even if there were more secrets, they were not interested to know, as she had already said enough.


    "Miss Mu Keer, thank you for your time." The female reporter said.


    "There is no problem. I''m happy that someone was willing to listen to me. But please, don''t edit this video."


    Mu Keer was afraid they would edit out all the important details she had revealed about Jia Li, so she deliberately reminded them not to edit it.


    She was well aware of the influence of the Fu family. She thought the reporters would be afraid of them, and so, will not upload the full video without making edits.


    The reporters ended the video and promised to upload her video without editing it.


    After the reporters left, Mu Keer smiled to herself, as she has seeded in ruining Jia Li''s reputation.


    Some minutester, she phoned Carlos to tell him about the end of the interview.


    Carlos was with Alix when she called, and at the first ring, he answered the call as it was something important.


    "Mr. the interview ended a few minutes ago, and the reporters have just left." Mu Keer said in a happy tone.


    "Really? Did you tell them everything you wanted to reveal about your niece?" Carlos probed, while Alix listened from the side.


    Being asked that question, Mu Keer chuckled, as it reminded her of venting her anger to her heart''s content.


    "Why not... I made sure to make use of this golden opportunity to vent my anger, and take revenge on my niece."


    "Good! I''m happy for you." Carlos said without a smile. His tone sounded normal, but he wasn''t smiling. Since Mu Keer wasn''t with him, she couldn''t tell his facial expression.


    Mu Keer thought that he would mention paying her the rest of her money ording to the agreement, but he didn''t. Since he wasn''t saying anything about that, she was forced to remind him about it.


    "Mr. Carlos, I want to remind you of my bnce, I have done my part." Mu Keer said while smiling sheepishly.


    She was thick-skinned and that''s why she could ask for her money without feeling embarrassed.


    Carlos nced at Alix while replying to her, "Your bnce? I haven''t forgotten about it. When the video is up, I will send it to you."


    Mu Keer was not happy about the reply. She thought she could get the rest of her payment which was a lot of money immediately, as stated in the agreement she had signed. But to her disappointment, that didn''t seem to be happening.


    Knowing that all she could do was to exercise a lot of patience for the interview to be publicized before she could get her money, she agreed to wait.


    "Okay, Mr. I will be waiting for your call." Mu Keer said.


    Carlos ended the call without another word, then she went on to block her.


    "Is that woman asking for her bnce?" Alix who had been silent asked.


    "Yes. She is really after the money, but I''m sorry to disappoint her. She won''t get her bnce as I''m acting under your orders." Carlos said with a smile and put down the phone.


    Alix smiled and adjusted her sitting position. "Why would I give her the sum of money, am I crazy? She is just a poor useless woman, she doesn''t deserve my money. I only enticed with her the thousand dors so she could be fast and very. operative with us. Now she wants her bnce, what does she think she''s worth?"


    "She thinks she is worth the sum of money you promised without her asking for it," Carlos answered.


    "Oh please! That woman is brainless. It will take her a few days to realize she has been used. She should keep patiently waiting to be arrested. I''m sure the Fu and the other family won''t spare her." Alix said.


    Her intention was never to pay Mu Keer all the money she promised because she was rted to Jia Li, and she didn''t deem her worthy of that sum of money.


    She intentionally was getting Mu Keer into trouble, because there was no way the Fu and the Huang family would spare her after exposing such secrets to the world.


    Mu Keer would have only had to deal with the Fu family if she didn''t mention that Huang Li was rted to the Huang family, but now, she seeded in making the two big familiese after her.


    Surely, there was no escape route for her or a chance of survival. She would be finished for good in time. I mean, it wouldn''t be so bad if she joined her husband where he was.


    "At least you bought lunch for her and gave her money that day we met her. It should be enough for her. I don''t even pity this one who would go to such lengths to destroy her niece''s life." Carlos said in disgust.


    "You know she is no different than me, except that I have a high IQ and I''m rich. So, if one day you were to find me in that situation as her which has a 99% chance of not happening, would you abandon me?" Alix asked as she rested her gaze on him.


    Carlos stared back at her and reply, "When that timees, I will know."

 Chapter 590 - Dont You Like Daddys Body?

    "You know that the Fu family and the Huang family can easily deal with this matter and bury it?"


    "I don''t care, but soon, everyone will know that woman''s secret. No matter how the Fu family tries to bury the news, her reputation would never be the same."


    "What difference does it make?"


    "There is a difference when someone is hated, but not all her secrets are out, and a person who is loved, and when all her secrets are exposed her reputation never remains the same."


    Alix was referring to andparing herself with Jia Li.


    "Are you saying that being the bad guy is better than being the good guy whoter bes a disappointment to so many people? Carlos asked with a frown.


    "That''s exactly what I''m saying," Alix confirmed.


    She believed that her situation was better. Initially, when she still had a good rtionship with Fu Hua, people loved her because she was an icon in the modeling industry. But once she decided to make trouble, trouble equally found her.


    Now, she has the experience of what kind of feeling it is to fall from such a level and be hated, so she wants Jia Li to experience the same. She was an oldyer now who doesn''t care every time she is being trolled as long as people were paying attention to her.


    "How are the products? Have they passed the testing period?" Carlos asked. He has been busy with the work he gave to her, so he didn''t know what was going on presently at her factory.


    "Yes, and now we are going into hundreds of products for the lunching," Alix replied with a profound smile. She was happy that her business was working.


    Carlos asked curiously, "When do you n to start advertising your products?"


    "After Qin Jia Li''s matter had died down, then we can start advertising and promotion," Alix said with a smirk.


    She would like to enjoy the show she orchestrated till another topic took up the top trending in the charts.


    If her business wasn''t that important to her, she wouldn''t mind to keep fuelling the matter.


    "You''re willing to dy your productsunching all for Miss Qin''s secrets to trend a little bit?" Carlos asked with an unbelievable facial expression.


    "I also put in a lot of effort into it just like starting up my new business," Alix stated.


    "Can the effort you put into the unveiling of her secrets bepared to the one you put into starting your business?" Carlos asked.


    Alix got annoyed with him and said, "What are you trying to do? Whose side are you on? Carlos, learn to give me advice only when I ask for it."


    Carlos raised his arms above his head in surrender and said to her, "Fine, I wouldn''t tell you a thing unless you say, Carlos, what should I do at his point?'' If you don''t say it like that, then I promise I wouldn''t say anything."


    Alix got rmed and said to him, "Carlos, this doesn''t mean if you see a danger uing you shouldn''t warn me about it."


    She thought he was stopping her from taking revenge on Jia Li, or maybe trying to reduce the effects, so she got angry and told him not to advise her if she didn''t ask for it.


    Carlos got to his feet and said to her, "I know the difference between advice and a heads-up, have a nice day."


    "Are you angry?" Alix asked as she watched him walk away.


    "How can I be angry? I work for you." Carlos replied without stopping in his steps.


    "Don''t forget to check on the journalists and reporters working on that case." Alix reminded him, but there was no response.


    Alix was annoyed with Carlos that he showed animosity towards her. She didn''t like when people showed anger or annoyance towards her, because she felt she didn''t deserve to see or know it.


    This is exceptional for the ones she gets from people on the Inte, because it brings one good thing to her, and that is attention.


    The next day after Fu Ling arrived at the Fu Vi, the Fu family packed their things and left for Jia Li''s hometown.


    The Huang family came with them but in their separate jet. Something surprising happened, Old Mr. Huang was present.


    How the rest of the Huang family convinced him toe for the anniversary, was what others didn''t know about.


    It took a lot of effort to convince the man that had vowed never to set his eyes on his daughter for defying his orders and causing a rift between him and a big business partner.


    Old Mrs. Huang and her children did put in a lot of effort to cate and convince him, and fortunately, their efforts were not in vain.


    The big Mansion in Grandfather Fu''s maternal hometown was big enough to house all of them. There were already servants that had gone ahead of them to tidy up the ce, and stock it up, so when they arrived, they met clean air, a tidied up home with everything they would need.


    Carrying the little bun to the doorstep of the mansion, Fu smiled at her and pinched her cheeks gently.


    "Daddy put me down!" Jasmine said as she leaned away from him. The little girl wanted to walk on her own.


    "Why? Don''t you like daddy''s body?" Fu Hua was worried she would run off by herself if he let her go. There were so many people with them, and the servants were currently moving their things inside the house.


    Jasmine scrunched up her nose, and Fu Hua looked shocked as he asked, "You don''t like daddy''s body? Are you notfortable?"


    The cute little girlughed out loud. She found her father''s facial expression funny and she asked, "Daddy, are you scared?"


    ''Is daddy scared that I don''t like his body?''


    "Yes, I am scared, daddy is scared. How can my daughter not befortable in my embrace?" Fu Hua asked with a serious facial expression.


    ''If his daughter was notfortable when he carried her, then on whose body will she befortable on?'' He wondered.

 Chapter 591 - An Urgent Matter That Needed His Attention

    Jasmineughed at her father. The little girl truly found him funny for being petty. And atst, she didn''t ask him to bring her down again.


    Fu Hua was d she didn''t remember it.


    While their bags were being taken into their rooms and arranged, the two families sat close to the garden to drink tea and eat the homemade prepared snacks by a top Chef, while chatting about random things.


    Jasmine did something very funny, she was given a milkshake to take along with her cookies, but our dearest little princess almost downed the whole thing.


    "Jasmine, you can''t drink your milkshake that way without eating it with your cookies, or don''t you want them?" Jia Li asked while pointing at her ss of milkshake which was remaining half, and a small te of cookies for her.


    "I want them," Jasmine said. She meant that she still wanted to eat her cookies. "I''m thirsty." She added.


    "You were thirsty?" Jia Li asked with a look of disbelief.


    Who quenched thirst with any other drink apart from water? It looks like her daughter does that.


    Jasmine nodded in response to her question. The little girl was thirsty, and so used her milkshake to quench a little of her thirst.


    "Princess, you use water to quench your thirst, unless you just feel like taking the milkshake alone. See, if you finish your milkshake, what will you use to eat your cookies?" Fu Hua pointed out.


    Jasmine licked her lips and nced at the te of cookies which she hasn''t touched before her eyes slowly moved to Jia Li and Fu Hua''s cups of tea.


    Jasmine smiled and said while gazing at her father, "Your tea, and mummy''s tea."


    Fu Hua and Jia Li smiled at her, their little girl was so funny and smart. Jia Li reached her fingers to clean the little stain at the corner of her lips caused by the milkshake, while Fu Hus said to her...


    "No, you can''t have the tea it''s for adults. Your mummy and I are grownups, and we can only have the tea because of it."


    Jasmine nced between her parents and asked, "Daddy, when will I be like you and mummy, I want to be an adult, so I can eat what I want."


    The little girl thought that she could eat whatever she wanted if she was an adult, with no restrictions, without knowing it wasn''t enough.


    You might think taking alcohol is nice, and would want to try it, but frequently taking it, it''s not good for the health.


    And being an adult doesn''t mean you can eat whatever you like.


    "Even if you grow up, you can''t still eat whatever you want, you need to be careful of your diet, and only eat healthy food." Fu Hua pointed out to her in a gentle tone.


    "Okay, daddy!" Jasmine said with a bright smile on her face.


    Jia Li smiled at her little girl and said to her, after she picked up a cookie and handed it to her, "Eat up."


    Jasmine took the cookie from her and had a bite from it.


    The family of three was sitting at a smaller round table, while the rest of the two families sat at different tables as well, still, Jasmine''s cuteness could not be stopped from radiating around the others.


    After having a little break with snacks, everyone went back to their bedrooms to freshen up and rest, beforeing down for dinner. And it was during this time, that Fu Hua received a call from his personal assistant, Zimo.


    It was evening, and answering calls at the dinner table wasn''t proper. Zimo knew about Fu Hua''s schedule, but for him to be calling by that time despite knowing where he was, Fu Hua thought the matter must be important, so he excused himself and left to answer the call.


    When Fu Hua got to a quiet ce, he answered the call, and Zimo''s urgent voice came immediately.


    "Boss, can you please spare a minute of your time, it''s urgent."


    "The urgent matter had better be important because I just left my family at the dinner table to take your call." Fu Hua said in a strict tone.


    Zimo heaved a sigh and nced behind him before replying to him, "Boss, this matter is very important, and it has something to do with madam."


    "My wife?" Fu Hua asked almost immediately. Anything that has to do with his wife, was a matter of urgency.


    "Yes, Boss," Zimo replied quickly.


    Fu Hua panicked a little because of how urgent Zimo sounded. "What happened? Give me all the details immediately." He demanded in a serious tone.


    Within a few minutes, Fu Hua''s facial expressions turned uglier with each moment that passed.


    Fu Hua and Zimo spoke for over 5 minutes before ending the conversation.


    "Do whatever you can to bring them to me as I would like to have a direct conversation with them"


    "Boss, won''t you wait till after the tomb visit tomorrow? They are already willing to wait for your instructions." Zimo asked.


    "No way!" Fu Hua cut in. "This is very urgent. I will like to take care of this matter as soon as possible, so bring them to me immediately!"


    Zimo knew how grave the situation was if wasn''t managed properly, so without any try to convince Fu Hua he took up the responsibility of making sure the important task which was assigned to him, was carried out with immediate effect.


    After the call, Zimo sighed and put his phone in his trouser pocket.


    "It''s Mr. Fu angry with us?" A female voice asked in fear.


    Zimo turned around and nced at the three familiar people sitting behind him. Their faces were seen, and they could be identified as the three reporters/journalists that Alix and Carlos hired to interview Mu Keer, and also publish the details of it.


    "He is angry, and why wouldn''t he be? You did the right thing bying to meet him, but what took you so long, since more than 24 hours ago?" Zimo asked with a frown.

 Chapter 592 - Meeting The Two Big Families Of C Nation I

    <h4>Chapter 592 ¨C Meeting The Two Big Families Of C Nation I</h4>


    One of the male reporters smiled and said, "Don¡¯t be angry, we still came to tell you about this without tipping anyone off, or publishing it elsewhere."


    Zimo rolled his eyes at them and said, "My boss wants to see you,e with me quickly."


    "Right now?" The female reporter asked in shock. She and her colleagues were aware that the next day was the death anniversary of Jia Li¡¯s parents, and the entire Fu family had traveled for it. But after Fu Hua found out about this matter, he wanted to see them already?


    This showed how important this was to him.


    Without dy, a helicopter came to take them to the arranged destination.


    When Fu Hua returned to the dining room, the others had already begun to eat and chat amicably. He didn¡¯t want to ruin anyone¡¯s appetite with the news he just heard, so he sat back at his seat and picked up his cutlery to eat.


    ncing at her husband who had just returned from answering a phone call, Jia Li noticed his mood was different, although he managed to keep it under wraps and nobody noticed apart from her.


    He was sitting right next to her, and she was his wife, so even if others do not notice the slight change in his mood, she would.


    "Is everything okay?" Jia Li leaned in to ask in a soft tone, and with a concerned gaze.


    She thought there may be a problem at work as she caught a glimpse of his caller ID when his phone rang some minutes ago.


    Fu Hua nced at her and managed a smile. "Mmmm... eat." He said in a low tone.


    Jia Li knew that everything was not okay. This was the dining table where both families were currently having dinner, so she couldn¡¯t confront him openly.


    She meant to ask him about it when they were alone, and that would be after now.


    Jia Li did not say any more. She used her chopsticks to pick a few aide dishes and put them on his te as a way offorting him.


    Fu Hua gave her a warm smile, at her gesture.


    Jasmine who has been eating all by herself and saw when her mother had put some food on her father¡¯s te, asked for her own share.


    "Mummy put for me!" The cute little girl said as she shifted her bowl close to her mother, so she could easily put some food for her.


    Jia Li smiled and did as she requested. Fu Hua also stretched his hand to put some food in the bowl of his demanding little daughter.


    Jasmine smiled brightly and pulled her bowl back to her side, as the adults smiled at her.


    After dinner, Fu Hua waited till everyone had finished taking their tea, before talking about the details of his conversation with Zimo.


    "While we were eating, I got a call from my personal assistant who told me about three reporters or Journalists that came to meet him. They had an interview of Jia Li¡¯s Aunt recorded, and if the video gets out, it would be unimaginable."


    "My Aunt had an interview with a group of reporters? What did she say to them?" Jia Li asked in shock as she could already imagine in her head, how her Aunt will be saying all sorts of things to ruin her image.


    As much as Jia Li was shocked, the Fu and the Huang family members were shocked as well. My Keer epted an interview from the reporters? That woman can not be up to any good.


    "How did that woman manage to get in contact with the reporters? I¡¯m sure she doesn¡¯t have the resources to contact them." The first daughter of the Huang family asked.


    "You have never mentioned to the public that you have an Aunt, so how did the reporters find her?" Fu Hee asked Jia Li with a big frown.


    With all their questions going about, Fu Hua managed to find the chance to give them the exact details Zimo had given to him, which ended up angering the entire family.


    Fu Hua went on to reveal how the reporters had changed their mind about publishing the interview with Mu Keer at thest minute.


    They didn¡¯t do that because they were righteous, but because they wanted something in exchange to help them avoid the disaster that would have stressed them to ward off.


    This still did not manage to ease the two families¡¯ worries, as they wanted to set their eyes on the three reporters and question them. They also wanted to watch the video of the interview, and also, asked Fu Hua to bring the reporters to them immediately.


    "The means of transportation is not a problem. I want to see who dares to tarnish my family¡¯s image." Old Mr. Huang said in a heavy tone.


    Jia Li was more worried than the others, not because she was guilty of anything, but because she was unfamiliar with this kind of situation.


    Her Aunty epted an interview to paint heritage ck, how troublesome was that... She wouldn¡¯t be the same again if she had seeded. And now just like everyone else, she also wanted to watch the clip to know what she had said to them.


    As this concerned her, everyoneforted her, as they knew she would be more worried than them. Fu Hua hugged her and told her not to worry as the situation was under his control.


    Everyone waited for the reporters to be brought to them, so they could have a little peace since Fu Hua informed them about the matter.


    In less than 30 minutes, Zimo arrived with the three reporters, who were on tenterhooks. They were afraid now that they were on the Fu family grounds.


    They hadn¡¯t informed any of their family members about their movement before Zimo took them away, so they were scared they would be killed and nobody would know their whereabouts.


    Being in a room and surrounded by the Fu family and the Huang family was a tough job. Being the center of attention to these big shots was not an easy task.. If not for their years of experience, they won¡¯t only be sweating in a cool environment, but they would also pee on their bodies.

 Chapter 593 - Meeting The Two Big Families Of C Nation II

    <h4>Chapter 593 ¨C Meeting The Two Big Families Of C Nation II</h4>


    It was weird for the three reporters to sit there and watch the interview they recorded with the Fu and the Huang family members.


    Watching the facial expressions change from each member of these two families, made the reporters wonder what had given them the guts to interview Mu Keer.


    While watching the interview being yed on the television, Jia Li was in tears. She and thr rest were shocked by Mu Keers¡¯ utterance and revtion.


    The Huangs¡¯ were pained about Huang Li being interpreted in that light by Mu Keer, and Jia Li was shocked because her Aunt had called her a bastard, and had revealed that she wasn¡¯t her father¡¯s biological daughter.


    It was true that Mu Keer would say anything just to ruin her image, but while watching the video, Jia Li could feel that her Aunty was not just speaking to ruin her image, but was revealing the ugly truth of her birth at the same time.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua were as shocked as the others, but for a different reason. They had heard Mu Keer saying that Jia Li was not her brother¡¯s child. She has said that right to their faces before, and now that she was saying it again with more confidence, the matter was very important to look into.


    "What gave this woman the courage to say such things about Jia Li and our families?!." Fu ChuHua asked.


    "We will have to find out for ourselves." Grandfather Fu said.


    After watching the clip, no one was in a good mood anymore. They felt like pping Mu Keer a few times on her cheeks and then dragging her body through the mud before locking her up somewhere not conducive for a living human being to stay.


    Because the reporters were still there, both families were trying toport themselves. They couldn¡¯t swear or use any threatening words.


    This was not the time for them to care about their image still, there has to be a difference between those who were cultured, and those who were not.


    In this situation, it was really hard to still remember your manners after watching that kind of interview, but the Fu family members and the Huang family members managed to pull it off, with their patience, hanging a thin thread.


    This was a clip that if it mistakenly got out, they would have trouble exining and dealing with it.


    After watching that video, there were matters to talk about, but first of all, they have to release the reporters first.


    But before that, some important things had to be done.


    "Are you sure none of you have shared this video with anyone?" Fu Lei asked as he stared hard at the three of them in particr.


    The three reporters hurriedly acknowledged his question and replied...


    "We only edited the video to add more lighting to it, and we were yet to upload it when we changed our mind." One of the male reporters said.


    "None of us has acknowledged Qin Mu Keer, so how did you find out about her existence?" Fu Geming asked as everyone fixed their gazes on them, apart from Jia Li who was crying with her face hidden in Fu Hua¡¯s chest.


    The three reporters exchanged nces. They were struggling to tell the truth now because they didn¡¯t know much about the person (Carlos) that had tipped them off.


    But meeting Old Mr. Huang¡¯s fierce gaze, they were forced to respond.


    "Someone tipped us off." The female reporter revealed.


    "And who was that?." The second daughter of the Huang family asked immediately.


    Without wasting time, The second male reporter answered, "We don¡¯t know who he is as we have never met him before that day, but from his ent, he is not Chinese."


    "Where did you three meet him?" Fu Ling asked.


    The reporters answered all the questions that were thrown at them, to the best of their knowledge. They were reporters who interrogated others, but today was the first for them to be interrogated by the members of two formidable families in C Nation.


    It was not an easy fit to sit in the midst of these big shots whose moods were terrible. They truly wanted to escape several times, but how could they be released when they haven¡¯t finished answering all their questions?


    So, the three of them made an effort to answer all the questions thrown at them as quickly as possible. One of them went as far as to recount what exactly happened that day, and how they were first approached.


    After giving them details of everything they knew, the efficient Zimo who had agreements prepared in his system and had printed them out on arrival passed it to the reporters.


    "You don¡¯t have any choice but to sign those papers, but for your own good, read every word written there." Fu Hua said to them in a strict tone while rubbing Jia Li¡¯s back.


    The three reporters quickly nced through the agreement before signing on the papers. There were not many uses there, as the agreement was very simple to read.


    The agreement was about them forgetting everything rted to the interview, from the time they were contacted by someone (Carlos) to the time they were brought over to the Fu Mansion.


    When they had finished signing the agreement, they were each handed a red envelope??


    "That¡¯s for your hard work. You know what to say to the people that put you to this?" Fu Lei asked with a fierce gaze, which made the three reporters tremble in fear.


    They were not daft, so they nodded their heads in response before they were allowed to leave.


    "Zimo put them on the helicopter and pass the instruction that they should be dropped in their homes." Fu Hua said with his face directed at Zimo.


    There was no need for Zimo to take them back because there was a lot of work to do now. There were investigations to be made, and scores to be settled.


    The reporters thanked and bowed to both families before following Zimo out.

 Chapter 594 - Blood On My Hands

    <h4>Chapter 594 ¨C Blood On My Hands</h4>


    "ording to Mu Keer, Huang Li was pregnant before leaving with her brother. How are we to trust her words when we can¡¯t confirm from anyone if she is telling the truth or not?" Fu Hee asked.


    Fu Lei said with an ugly facial expression, "That woman is evil, and she feels she can say anything she wants at any time because there is no one to confirm most of her words."


    "Dad I agree with you, she is doing this intentionally because we can¡¯t find out the truth from sister-inw¡¯s parents, and Sister-inw doesn¡¯t know about this," YingPei responded.


    "My sister never mentioned that she was pregnant before leaving the family." The first daughter of the Huang family said.


    "She also didn¡¯t say anything to me?" Old Mrs. Huang said in tears.


    Old Mr. Huang was annoyed in this situation because his family¡¯s name was at stake. "What if her husband is the biological father of Jia Li, and she is just making things up in other to get revenge and disorganize our families?."


    Jia Li who has been pained and in tears nced at her maternal grandfather and said, "Mr. Hang actually, my Aunt once said to me directly that I¡¯m not my father¡¯s biological daughter."


    Grandfather Fu didn¡¯t like seeing Jia Li in tears. She was still his favorite, and anything or anybody that makes her cry, he will always make sure to tackle it.


    "There is no need to stress yourself. When we interrogate her, she will spill all the answers to the questions asked and are not asked." Grandfather Fu said.


    What he meant was, by the time Mu Keer was being interrogated, she would spill a lot of truths without being asked, out of fear.


    "Grandfather, why don¡¯t we lock up that woman and interrogate her immediately before she runs away?" Fu FangSu asked with a bitter expression on her face.


    Fu Meixu added, "Yes, she has done more harm without any good, and she keeps getting away with it every time. It is time to get rid of herpletely, we have been merciful to her for a long time."


    "This time around, we won¡¯t spare her. Fu Hua, give me her address, the soldiers will go to that ce and drag her out. Then they will lock her up somewhere until we finish with the tomb visit." Fu Lei said without a nce.


    "It wouldn¡¯t be bad if she is thrown into the sea and fed to the sharks, no one will remember her existence." The first son of the Huang family said.


    Everyone was still angry with Mu Keer for herments and actions, and so they all agreed to deal with her. Of course, they were not going to let her and the instigators go scot-free.


    Fu Hua¡¯s father, Fu Lei arranged for some soldiers to go and drag Mu Keer out of her house and lock her up, as they nned on how to deal with her after visiting the graveyard of Jia Li¡¯s parents thr next day.


    Meanwhile, at Feng Alix¡¯s ce, she was pacing up and down her living room


    "What did you say is taking thosezy people a long time to edit a video and make it go rival? How hard is it?" She asked with a furious nce at Carlos.


    Carlos who seemed tired of her bantering and disturbance replied, "I will speak to them tomorrow morning. They are supposed to release the video tomorrow, maybe they forgot to get back to me."


    Alix red up immediately, "How can they forget to notify you about such an important matter? These people are so lousy and don¡¯t take their work seriously."


    "After all, you didn¡¯t pay them, so they are free to work at their own pace, and make decisions within themselves," Carlos said to her.


    "What do you mean? I gave them a huge scoop of news, and you¡¯re telling me that I¡¯m supposed to pay them? Does that make any sense to you?" Alix asked angrily.


    Carlos sighed tiredly, he was already exhausted by being scolded by her.


    "You showed someone an opportunity which will also be to your advantage. You didn¡¯t pay them to get it done when you want, so how do you expect them to do exactly what you want? You already handed the rights to do what they please with that information."


    Alix red at him before sitting on the couch with her arms folded. "Where on earth did you bring those kinds of stupid people from? They don¡¯t even know when to do the right thing."


    Carlos didn¡¯t reply to her any further. He was already tired of speaking to her.


    "If the video is not up by 10 tomorrow morning, get rid of them and raise a new set of people that will do a good job this time around. Since money is a problem, I will pay them to do exactly as I say." Alix said.


    This woman was already impatient and couldn¡¯t wait to destroy Jia Li¡¯s reputation. And as things were not going the way she wanted, she was getting pissed off with each second that went by.


    Carlos fixed an annoyed gaze at her and asked, "What do you see me as, yourckey or an assassin?"


    From his expression, Alix knew that he was angry, but sue refused to bulge. "Why are you angry? It¡¯s not like I asked you to kill them directly, you can always send people to do the work for you."


    "I will never be a partaker to this. I can do any other thing for you, but not get blood on my hands. If you are so desperate to get rid of anyone, why don¡¯t you do it yourself, why must you send me?" Carlos asked angrily.


    Being reminded of this selfish side of Alix infuriated him greatly. And that¡¯s why sometimes, he would fire back at her.


    Alix didn¡¯t think she was wrong. In fact, she looked offended by Carlos¡¯s anger towards her.


    "What are you scared of?" She asked.


    "If you think there is no problem with your job description, why don¡¯t you carry it out yourself and leave me out of it?" Carlos said, and without waiting for her response, he got to his feet and left her house.


    Alix¡¯s face was twisted in a frown as she watched him walk out on her.. She was angry, and so threw some magazines to the floor just to vent her anger.

 Chapter 595 - Hot Water Massage

    <h4>Chapter 595 ¨C Hot Water Massage</h4>


    Was Jia Li able to sleep that night? No, she wasn¡¯t. She had a hard time closing her eyes and she only did that around 5 AM.


    Fu Hua was tired too exhausted to stay awake with her, so he dozed off with her lying in his arms.


    Although he didn¡¯t stay awake with her, he knew she sleptte, and that was the reason he shushed the little girl when she woke up that morning and wanted to speak to him.


    "Don¡¯t shout, your mummy is tired. Let¡¯s allow her to sleep some more." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jasmine nodded obediently and followed her after to the washroom to be ready.


    "Aunty Su will help you to take a bath okay?" Fu Hua said to her after watching her brush her teeth by herself.


    "Okay, daddy," Jasmine said with a cheeky smile before following her father out to find FangSu.


    Nobody disturbed Jia Li until it was about 15 minutes to breakfast time. Then Fu Hua woke her up and asked her to go and wash up.


    "What time is it?" Jia Li asked with a hand over her swollen eyes.


    Fu Hua moved the duvet away from her body while replying, "You don¡¯t need to know what time it is, but you have to be as quick as possible."


    "That means I¡¯mte." Jia Li said as she quickly got out of bed, but that made her feel dizzy for a few seconds.


    Fu Hua caught her and asked with a worried gaze, "Are you okay? Do you feel alright?"


    "I¡¯m fine, I just need to get dressed right now." Jia Li said as she assured him.


    "Your eyes are swollen, don¡¯t forget to you the hot water to massage them, but if you need my help, I will do that for you." Fu Hua said as he followed her into the washroom.


    "I can handle it, thank you." Jia Li said as she picked up her toothbrush that Fu Hua had already put the toothpaste on, and began to brush her teeth as quickly as possible.


    "Your bath is ready, and I¡¯m going to get your outfit ready, don¡¯t take too long, and call me if there is anything, I will be next door." Fu Hua said while restoring with his hands.


    Jia Li nodded in response and continued to brush her teeth in a fast reflex. If she wasn¡¯t moody, she would have loved toment on her husband treating her like a small child who can¡¯t take care of herself.


    After getting her clothes ready, Fu Hua quickly changed into his outfit befitting the asion for the day, and in no time, Jasmine was brought back to the room by FangSu.


    While the father and daughter were in the bedroom talking, Jia Li was in the closet, pitting on the outfit Fu Hua had arranged for her.


    "Daddy, where is mummy?" Jasmine asked.


    "Mummy is having her bath." Fu Hua replied as he lifted her to sit on his thighs. The little girl looked so excited as she asked, "Can I bath with mummy?"


    "But you¡¯ve had your bath already." Fu Hua said to her with a smile.


    "Oh!" Jasmine said.


    As the father and daughter continued to converse, Jia Li did her hair and walked out.


    "Mummy!" Jasmine called out excitedly and jumped down from her father¡¯s thighs before running to hug her mother, while Fu Hua got to his feet to watch the mother and daughter with a smile.


    "How are you, my baby?" Jia Li asked as she smiled when she saw her beautiful active daughter run to hug her.


    "Fine!" Jasmine said while looking up at her with a smile.


    After the little interaction between the mother and daughter, Fu Hua said while gazing at Jia Li¡¯s face.


    "Your eyes look better now." He said and approached her to touch her cheeks.


    "I did the hot water massage, so it got a lot better." Jia Li said.


    Fu Hua didn¡¯t want to bring upst night¡¯s incident as it would make Jia Li sad, so he was avoiding it. Admiring his beautiful wife, he leaned in to kiss her cheeks before taking her hand.


    "We have two minutes to be at the breakfast table, let¡¯s not keep them waiting." Fu Hua said.


    The family of three was on time to arrive at the dinner table. And after the greetings, they took their seats and began to eat along with the others.


    Mu Keer who has been impatiently waiting for Carlos to call her and talk about her remaining bnce hasn¡¯t received any call, and she didn¡¯t want to be the one to call either.


    If the news (video) was up, there was no way she could find out because she had no TV or smartphone to see it. And she doubted that anybody would notify her of it.


    In fact, she was sure that nobody in their ce would ept what she did because they knew her character too well and the fact that her husband caused her brother and his wife¡¯s death, and she still had the guts to say all those nonsense about Jia Li in that interview.


    She knew they woulde after her, so her n was to use that bnce Carlos was to give to her, to settle her debts and run to another city or town with her children in other to hide away from the media and attention from those that wouldn¡¯t want her alive.


    She dared to offend two significant families in Country C, and that alone was enough for her to run away. She still cherished her life.


    "What is taking this man so long to give me a call, or send the person that would give me the money?" Mu Keer said with a deep frown as her two children watched her as well. They were aware of what their mother did, and they were in support of it, as long as they could get money to feed.


    While talking angrily about her money which she was supposed to receive thetest by this morning, a light knock sounded on their door.


    "Mother, it could be the man has sent somebody to bring your money." Mu Keer¡¯s son said excitedly.


    Immediately he said that Mu Keer scrambled up from the floor and ran to the door along with her excited children.

 Chapter 596 - A Simple Task

    <h4>Chapter 596 ¨C A Simple Task</h4>


    The person they were expecting to see were not the people they saw. They were expecting to see one person with the money but they saw five people and they were all soldiers dressed in their military uniform.


    But their was one extra man who was dressed in a suit. He was smiling when Mu Keer opened the door for them and he was no other than, Assistant Zimo.


    Seeing this unfamiliar man and the five soldiers behind him, Mu Keer¡¯s instinct told her there was danger but Zimo¡¯s smiling face deceived her.


    "Who are you?" Mu Keer asked with creased brows while gazing behind Zimo to see the straight-faced soldiers.


    Zimo followed her gaze behind him and saw the soldiers strictness and guessed that she may be feeling insecure, so heughed over it and said to her...


    "Miss, please don¡¯t mind them, they are for security reasons. My Boss doesn¡¯t want anything to go wrong, so he sent them to escort you."


    "Your Boss wants me toe along? I thought he would only ask you to bring the money." Mu Keer said in surprise without knowing that she has already given a point away, which Zimo will use to bait her.


    Zimo chuckled softly and said, "There was a slight change in ns. You can take your valuable things along because you may not want toe back to this ce after seeing the ce we are going to."


    "Is he getting us a new house? We don¡¯t have any valuables, my children and I are important. But what did we do to deserve this?" Mu Keer asked while trying to hide the smile threatening to be revealed.


    "This is my Boss¡¯s way of showing appreciation to you. Please follow us, let¡¯s not keep them waiting, they have a flight to catch soon." Zimo said without denying or epting her thoughts. His reply was suggestive and seeded in convincing Mu Keer and her children to follow them.


    Mu Keer¡¯s two children couldn¡¯t stop jumping up for joy that they were leaving their ugly house for a better one. Even Mu Keer couldn¡¯t stop smiling now.


    How foolish was this woman that was ready to follow a stranger without investigation or proof of identity?


    There was nothing valuable to take from their house, so they happily followed Zimo with the soldiers behind them.


    Right now, they were feeling themselves while thinking how important they were for the soldiers to apany them for security reasons.


    To them, this was a mind-blowing moment and the road to their new life.


    There is no point in deceiving Mu Keer and convincing her to follow them when they could easily break into her house and pull her away, not minding the people that woulde out because of themotion it would cause but Fu Hua said to his father that he didn¡¯t want to disturb her (Mu Keer¡¯s) neighbors, so they should take her away peacefully.


    When Mu Keer entered the luxurious van with her children, they felt that they were on cloud nine and even believed Zimo the more.


    Not long after they had settled down in the van and admiring the interior, plus touching everywhere and talking loudly amongst themselves, Mu Keer¡¯s daughter noticed the choctes ced next to the seats and picked up one.


    "Who asked you to touch it?" Mu Keer asked.


    "Mum, I¡¯m sure they left it for us. Don¡¯t you know that we are their guests and they are giving us special treatment?" The daughter replied.


    Mu Keer red at her and asked, "How do you that?"


    Her son immediately replied as he picked up one, "Mum, why else would they leave this here if they did not prepare them for us?"


    When her children tasted the chocte and saw how delicious it was, they couldn¡¯t stop talking about it and immediately picked up more.


    When Mu Keer saw this and sensed the choctes must be a good deal, she took a few for herself and opened one and began to eat it.


    Only three of them were in the car apart from the driver. And because they were busy scrambling for the choctes, they didn¡¯t see when the drive covered his face with a mask, before locking the doors and pressing another button, which sent in gas from the venttion system.


    In no time, Mu Keer and her children copsed and the van drove ahead of the military vehicle carrying the soldiers and with the car Zimo was in, leading them.


    While Mu Keer and her children were being transported to the barracks. The Fu and the Huang families embarked on a journey to the graveyard to visit Jia Li¡¯s parents.


    Meanwhile, Alix was already going crazy from the information she just heard from Carlos. The video she was expecting to be released this morning was nowhere to be found and it was almost 10:00 AM.


    ording to Carlos, he contacted the reporters in the early hours of the morning and they gave an excuse for the dy and said they would release the video as soon as their higher-ups give them the approval.


    Right now, there was no estimated time for the video to be up and the excuses for the dy, that¡¯s what made Alix mad.


    "Sometimes, I really wonder how you take care of matters and make them sessful! This was such a simple task. I didn¡¯t ask you to kill anybody! I only asked you to make sure those reporters interview that some and release the video and that is what you can¡¯t aplish!" Alix barked.


    "I have asked you to give me a few minutes for the reporters to get back to me." Carlos said to her in a calm tone. Even he was beginning to sense that something was wrong.


    Half an hourter, Carlos didn¡¯t see any video and also there was no response from the three reporters, so he decided to get them through the phone only for their numbers to be unavable.


    "What¡¯s going on? Did they block my contact or is this awork issue?" Carlos muttered to himself.


    After a few minutes of trying and the situation remained the same, he wasn¡¯t so daft to know that the tone of the music had changed.


    He has been scammed.

 Chapter 597 - Investigations

    <h4>Chapter 597 ¨C Investigations</h4>


    He has been scammed by the people he gave a huge scoop that would have made them very popr and also money-wise.


    The worst and most painful part is that he was not given any reason.


    Carlos spent a few minutes digesting the oue of the reporters¡¯ actions before going to find Alix in her bedroom.


    "Have you spoken to them?" She asked whilst rolling her eyes at him as she thought he hade with good news atst.


    Carlos wasn¡¯t in the mood to pamper the situation, so he revealed it straight to her.


    "I tried calling the reporters a few minutes ago but their numbers were not reachable. We have been scammed."


    Alix¡¯s facial expression turned ugly as she asked, "What do you mean we have been scammed? Didn¡¯t you meet with the reporters before they went to meet that woman for an interview?"


    "I met with them." Carlos replied.


    "And so you didn¡¯t know they had the intentions of scamming you?" Alix asked while pointing her fingers at him. She couldn¡¯t believe this huge n of hers to ruin Jia Li¡¯s reputation would fall apart like this.


    "How would I know they had this kind of intention? It¡¯s not like I can see into the future or read their thoughts." Carlos said.


    Alix ced her hands on her waist after she got to her feet, and began to have around. "How could those lousy people scam a first-ss graduatewyer like you? This can never be heard anywhere!"


    Carlos went to sit on the sofa opposite her bed and crossed his legs which agitated Alix further.


    "Who told you that you could sit? As the owner of the room, I am standing on my feet because I am restless as a result of our failed ns but you, you are sitting like this has nothing to do with you."


    Carlos looked at her and said, "What do you want me to do? I should at least sit and think about this situation properly ande up with an alternative solution."


    "What else is there to think about?" Alix asked. If not for the kind ofplicated rtionship she has with Carlos, she would have fired him or rained abuses on him.


    "I don¡¯t think this situation is as simple as it looks. I feel that the Fu family must be aware of this interview and hence, taken care of the matter!" Carlos said to her after a deep thought.


    Hearing him mention the Fu family, Alix was rmed and immediately rushed to his side to ask, "Are you saying that the Fu family are aware of that video?"


    "Yes, if not, what do you think could be the reason those reporters haven¡¯t published the article and the video when it would also be in their favor?" Carlos said as he tried to reason with her.


    Alix slowly calmed down as she tried to make sense of what Carlos had just said. She spent some seconds thinking about the Fu family getting involved and saw how possible it was.


    "If the Fu family is aware of this matter, then there will be a big problem. We have to make sure they don¡¯t find out about my involvement in this matter." Alix said a little tense while squeezing her fingers.


    "That¡¯s what I¡¯m thinking about. I¡¯m going to erase every record of our meeting with that woman and the reporters. I was in disguise when I met the reporters but that woman saw my real face, so I have to do something about it." Carlos said.


    "Well then get to work immediately. Call that woman and know where she is. Given the situation, we have to make sure she never opened her mouth to say someone put her through the interview." Alix said.


    Carlos shook his head and said, "I hope we are not toote."


    As he said that, he whipped out his phone from his pocket and dialed Mu Keer¡¯s number. After ringing for a while, no one answered.


    "Where did she leave her phone!" Alix said angrily. She was in a hurry to get rid of any evidence that would link her to the matter.


    She was never prepared for this, never! This took herpletely unawares.


    "You know how she is, she must have left the phone at home and gone out. She has so many creditors who would snatch any other valuable thing she has as a way to force her to pay them." Carlos said.


    Normally, Mu Keer doesn¡¯t take the phone that was given to her outside the house and while indoors, she hides it away in case of any creditor that would break in to search for anything valuable to take.


    This was what Carlos thought, not knowing that the matter was beyond his thoughts.


    "Well then, contact her again as soon as possible. It¡¯s either we get rid of her or give her money to a hut her mouth. But I don¡¯t think she will be able to shut her mouth no matter the money we give to her because once she gets into the hands of the Fu family, it is over!" Alix said with much wisdom.


    Getting rid of Mu Keer before the Fu family finds her would be the best and for the first time, Carlos agreed to arrange for it, if matterse to worst.


    When Mu Keer¡¯s phone rang, the driver didn¡¯t do anything about it until they got to their destination.


    When Mu Keer and her children were being carried out from the vehicle, he picked up the phone and handed it to Zimo.


    "A private number called her thrice." The driver said.


    "Thank you, I will take it up from here." Zimo said as he received the phone and checked it out. Immediately he saw the number, he snapped it with his phone and sent it to somebody before making a call.


    "I sent you a number now, find out who it belongs to, it is part of the emergency investigation." Zimo said over the phone.


    "Any news about the man that met with those reporters?" Zimo asked.


    The person over the phone replied in a strict tone, "Not yet! We did a face match and it wasn¡¯t sessful, he doesn¡¯t exist.. Please notify the Major about it as soon as possible."

 Chapter 598 - Locked Up

    <h4>Chapter 598 ¨C Locked Up</h4>


    The person Zimo was speaking with, was a soldier in charge of finding out the identity of Carlos who met with the three reporters in disguise and also to see if other people were involved.


    Mu Keer was separated from her children while still unconscious and was locked up in a different room.


    There was no need to handcuff her hands because even if she would like to try her best, she would never be able to escape while under the watch of the soldiers.


    At the graveyard, The Fu and the Huang family spent more than an hour over there. There were so many fresh white lilies and roses lying on the tomb of Jia Li¡¯s parents, as they all have been given by the members of the two families.


    For the first time, Old Mr. Huang saw the picture of what histe daughter looked like before she died.


    After staring at her picture for a while, he sighed and said to the hearing of everyone, "I will still repeat this, If she hadn¡¯t married into the Qin family, she wouldn¡¯t have died."


    "She wanted happiness, and she got it with the man she loved and chose to follow, that¡¯s the most important thing." Old Mrs. Huang replied.


    She believed that Huang Li probably wouldn¡¯t have reached up to that age if she had married someone else. She would have died earlier due to unhappiness and grief.


    But Old Mr. Huang thought otherwise. He still believed that his daughter wouldn¡¯t have died in that way if she didn¡¯t marry into a troublesome poor family like the Qins.


    Jia Li was quiet all through and whatever she had to say, she said them silently. She was still troubled by her Aunt¡¯s action for what she would have done if not stopped on time, will cause bacsh on the two families.


    An hourter, most of the Fu and Huang family members went back to the Vi in the nextmunity, while the rest traveled down to the barracks.


    Jia Li had wanted to go and see her Aunt ask her some questions, but everybody denied her that right. Even Fu Hua refused to let her go.


    "Stay at home, we will take care of this matter for you." He said to her.


    They didn¡¯t want her to be a hindrance with whatever they would do to Mu Keer, so it was better she wasn¡¯t present or aware of any of it.


    Jia Li was forced to go back home with the others.


    The only people that went to the barracks were, Fu Hua, Grandfather Fu, Fu Hua¡¯s father, and uncle. Then from the Huang family, three people came along. Old Mr. Huang, his first son and third daughter.


    Arriving at the barracks in a grand entrance that didn¡¯t matter to them because of the situation on the ground, they were taken straight to the ce Mu Keer was locked up.


    But before they arrived Mu Keer¡¯s action when she woke and saw the ce she was in, was hrious.


    She didn¡¯t know why she fell asleep and how long she has been out, but when she opened her eyes and saw herself sitting on the floor and locked up in a ce made of wood, she screamed in shock.


    She was lucky enough that there was venttion in that ce, but she didn¡¯t feel so as her main aim was being let out of that space.


    She kept screaming for help while running around the space and also trying to open the door which was impossible to do so because it was locked.


    "Help! Who brought me here? Let me out right now! Do you know who I am? Where are my children?! Where did you keep them? Let me tell you, you better not touch my children or else, I will fight all of you! You scammer why did you bring me here! I am very influential in my neighborhood and if my friends do not find my children and me within 24 hours, they woulde after you!"


    Mu Keer kept saying empty threat until her voice turned a bit hoarse and she got tired of talking, and only then did she sit on the floor to start crying.


    From threatening them, she began to beg for her to be released. But no matter what she did, nobody came to her aid.


    The door only opened when Fu Hua and the rest came to visit her.


    Hearing the approaching footsteps, Mu Keer thought that finally, someone wasing to let her out, so she wiped her tears and jumped up from the dirty ground, and ran towards the door.


    Immediately the door opened and she tried to run out, two soldiers immediately caught her by the arms and dragged her away forcefully with her screaming.


    No matter how she screamed and tried to escape from their hold, all proved abortive. She shouted, but the soldiers ignored her, and they didn¡¯t bother to cover her mouth. When she tried to struggle out of their arms, they strengthened their hold on her.


    Mu Keer only stopped struggling when she discovered that the more she tried to escape from their hold, the more strength they used on her.


    On getting close to the nearest building where the Fu and the Huang families were waiting, Mu Keer was dragged inside.


    Finally getting into the room filled with unfamiliar faces and the level of authority they were emitting, Mu Keer humbled herself.


    She didn¡¯t even recognize anybody from there, including Fu Hua. And never did her mind tell her who they were.


    One of the Generals in the room, gave a sign to the soldiers that brought her in, for them to put her in the middle of the room.


    Mu Keer was dragged and pushed to the middle of the room where she knelt with her head bowed.


    Finally, when Mu Keer learned of the people before her, her blood chilled. Atst, the people she was working against, had apprehended her.


    At a point during the interrogation, she red up and started cursing them, but when a p was given to her by one of the soldiers, she shut up immediately and held her jingling ears after crying out in pain.

 Chapter 599 - Found Out!

    <h4>Chapter 599 ¨C Found Out!</h4>


    "You should have left her to continue spewing rubbish because she is never going to leave this ce again." Grandfather Fu said.


    "She was making too much noise, so she deserved to be reminded calmly not to act shrewdly in front of the people she offended." Old Mr. Huang said.


    Mu Keer did learn her lesson, for never in her life had someone hit her with such strong palms that almost made her deaf, and at the same time, made her dumb.


    After receiving that warning, Mu Keer never went out of line during the interrogation. Like Old, Mr. Huang had said the night before, that she would spill the truth whether she was asked or not, and that was the same thing Mu Keer was doing.


    Mu Keer talked about how she met Carlos whom she didn¡¯t know his real name. Immediately she mentioned the name of the restaurant she went to meet with Alix whom she didn¡¯t get to see her face or know her name, Fu Hua made a call to that same major investigating on Carlos¡¯s real identity.


    He told him the name of the restaurant, the day and time Mu Keer met Carlo, and the woman involved in the matter (Alix)


    "...get the full clip of their interaction now!" Fu Hua said through the phone.


    Mu Keer went on to talk about the details of their conversation, about the contract and the money involved, and also the reporters that woulde to interview her.


    Mu Keer was able to quote Alix and Carlos and the simr words they used during their conversation


    When asked if she had received her bnce, she denied it and said she has been waiting for it.


    Next, the very important question Old Mr. Huang has been meaning to ask came up. He asked about the Genuity of what she said about her brother not being Jia Li¡¯s biological father.


    "I swear that I¡¯m saying the truth! I really heard my brother and Huang Li discussing it, and the exact words they used, was what I used in that interview. I¡¯m really not making things up!" Mu Keer cried out.


    At this point, she wished there was a way to prove her words because the manner she was being red at by the big shots showed that they could end her destiny within a second.


    It was easy to find out her sincerity, and they could all see that she was saying the truth, but that didn¡¯t mean they would let her go scot-free.


    Mu Keer received another p on the same cheek she was pped some minutes ago.


    "You really have the guts to ept this interview to destroy our families, forgetting that your husband killed your brother and your sister-inw! What were you thinking would happen if that video went out? Do you think you would have survived?!" Fu Lei asked with a re.


    "General, I don¡¯t think she had the intentions of surviving either. I know the type of person she is. As far as she achieves her goal of destroying others, she wouldn¡¯t care what happens to her! She even dared to lie to us before, saying that Jia Li was not our sister¡¯s biological daughter." The third daughter of the Huang family said.


    Fu Lei and the others fixed a death re of the frightened Mu Keer. Then Fu Lei said, "If she could lie to your family about this matter, then it¡¯s possible that she is lying to us now! Why don¡¯t we end her life?"


    As Fu Lei said that, he whipped out his phone from his pocket and pointed it at Mu Keer who peed on her pants immediately while shivering, crying, and begging for forgiveness. And at the same time, she continued saying that she was telling the truth now and that she was sorry for lying that day.


    Mu Keer didn¡¯t dare to raise her head as she continued to hit her forehead on the floor while begging for her life to be spared.


    After getting every piece of information from Mu Keer, she was dragged out of that room. And she didn¡¯t date to utter any word again. Because of the threat she experienced, she was hoping to be locked up immediately as that was the only way she was sure they wouldn¡¯t try to kill her.


    All the information Mu Keer gave was very important and was used to find out the people that put her to it.


    Within 30 minutes, Carlos¡¯s identity was found out from the CCTV footage at the restaurant where he and Alix in disguise, met with Mu Keer.


    Fu Hua and the rest also watched the eclipse from the restaurant, and when he saw the woman in disguise on the footage, he immediately guessed her identity, but he refused to say a word.


    And for rity purposes, he asked for Carlos¡¯s identity to be found out, and that was how they got it.


    Finding out about Carlos¡¯s real identity, meant that they would know who he was working for, and they all did.


    When the matter hade to this, Fu Hua told them that he would take care of the matter from there, but it wasn¡¯t easy convincing his enraged father, and Old Mr. Huang.


    Fortunately, grandfather Fu spoke on his behalf.


    "Leave this matter with Hua, as I trust he would handle it perfectly. The most important thing is finding Jia Li¡¯s biological father."


    As grandfather Fu mentioned that, everyone¡¯s attention changed from dealing with Alix to finding Jia Li¡¯s biological father.


    "Was my mother-inw close to any other person apart from her husband before she left the family?¡¯ Fu Hua asked with his gaze on the Huang family.


    "She was not close with any other person apart from him. She loved him so much." The third daughter of the Huang family said.


    If Huang Li was close with any other man, her sisters would have known, or she would have at least given them a tip, but there was none.


    While everyone was thinking hard about this matter, Old Mr. Huang¡¯s brows were furrowed. Then he said in a calm audible tone...


    "After thinking deeply about this matter, I can say that there was another person Li had a rtionship with."

 Chapter 600 - A Devastating News For Jia Li

    <h4>Chapter 600 ¨C A Devastating News For Jia Li</h4>


    Nobody would have expected that Old Mr. Huang would be the one to know something about this matter.


    "Dad if you know something, can you tell us about it already?!" His third daughter said in anticipation as the suspense was killing her while wondering while her father would be the one to know about this kind of matter instead of them.


    Old Mr. Huang did not n on keeping everyone in suspense, so he spilled the name of the person he knew was close to his daughter, Huang Li before she eloped with Mr. Qin.


    "Guang Bo is the only man Li was close to before leaving."


    "Guang Bo? Father, pardon me, but you can¡¯t be serious!" The first son said with a displeased gaze.


    The third daughter also did not find this funny and added, "Father, there is no way that Li would have anything to do with Guang Bo. Remember, she hated him and had refused to marry him."


    "I know you all would say this." Old Mr. Huang said to his children as he was expecting that reaction from them.


    Fu Hua, Grandfather Fu, Fu Lei, and Fu Geming tried to understand which Guang family Old Mr. Huang was talking about.


    "Remember that I arranged for Li and Bo to meet on some asion, and I¡¯m sure there were interactions between them."


    As Old Mr. Huang said this, his children thought back to the time Li went on a few dates with Guang Bo. Their sister didn¡¯t look like she was close to him, but since there was a few times they interacted, it¡¯s possible that something must have happened between them. But if they investigate and there was nothing serious between them, then they would have no choice but to use all the resources they had to find Jia Li¡¯s biological father.


    Grandfather Fu inquired about the Guang family to confirm if it was the particr family he was thinking about and he was right.


    The conclusion of the matter was that the Huang family would investigate this matter, and speak to Guang Bo, although they do not have a good rtionship with them since that incident of Huang Li running away a few days to her engagement.


    After speaking with the Major Generals in the room, they left back to the Fu Vi.


    Meanwhile, Carlos who still couldn¡¯t get a hold of Mu Keer on phone, personally picked a few people and went came down to Jia Li¡¯s hometown after first going to the restaurant he met with the reporters, to delete the CCTV footage.


    Before asking them to delete the footage, he had inquired if anyone has asked about it, and sure, he received a positive answer which made him release a sigh of relief, without knowing that they had been ordered to give him that reply.


    From that restaurant unto the next which was the ce he and Alix met with Mu Keer, he went on to repeat the same actions.


    Thinking that he was right on time, he felt smart for his immediate response, before traveling back to the City.


    Alix seemed a bit rxed after Carlos met with her and spoke about his movements for that day.


    "...at least you can focus on your business now. Start the advertisement immediately." Carlos suggested.


    "The ads will start ying as soon as I settle the contracts with our models. I am very picky with them." Alix said with a profound smile.


    "How many models will you need?" Carlos asked.


    Without thinking much, Alix replied, "I want 5 of the best, and I also want the two girls from the Fu family involved."


    Carlos shook his head and said to her, "Does it look like they would model for a new brand, especially once they know nothing about it?"


    "They can. I¡¯m going to send them an offer tomorrow. Imagine that feeling when theye to work for me, and their facial expressions after I reveal my identity as the owner of the brand?" Alix said as sheughed out loud.


    Her main intention for trying to get FangSu and Meixu to be her brand ambassador was to make jest of them. She knew they would be unhappy, not just them, the entire Fu family, and their fans would be unhappy when she reveals her identity as the Boss of the Brand they are under.


    She also nned on controlling them through the contract they would sign.


    "Alix, this is strictly business, don¡¯t joke with it. You should know better not to mess with the Fu family." Carlos said as a reminder, but Alix wasn¡¯t going to listen.


    Jia Li who has been waiting for Fu Hua and the others to return for a long time, felt better when their cars drove into thepound.


    Although the food was ready, nobody was talking about it apart from Jasmine who had eaten to her satisfaction.


    The adults had a big matter to worry about, so they were not that hungry, but the kitchen still prepared something light for them.


    After eating, the entire family sat together to talk about the matter they had gone to settle.


    Everything that transpired over there with Mu Keer and also the Major Generals were unveiled, except for one truth, and that is the identity of the people that used Mu Keer.


    Fu Hua said he was going to settle the matter himself, but he knew if the rest heard who was involved, there wouldn¡¯t be peace until he would be forced to go ording to their dish.


    So Grandfather Fu said they have two suspects, but their identities were under investigation.


    Fu Hua was currently investigating Alix and Carlos even after finding out they were the people behind Mu Keer¡¯s interview.


    He wanted to get a hold of their secrets and weak points and use it against them to the fullest.


    The most devastating news to Jia Li was her Aunt¡¯s confirmation about her it being the biological daughter of her father, Mr. Qin.


    She broke down in tears and refused to ept that fact, and so, she ran away to go lock herself in the bedroom.

 Chapter 601 - Speaking From A Place Of Hurt

    <h4>Chapter 601 ¨C Speaking From A ce Of Hurt</h4>


    It was a sign of disrespect for Jia Li to leave when the two families were still discussing, but nobody present, took it that way.


    They knew how hurt Jia Li was because of this life-changing news. Imagine finding out that the man who has always loved, cared, provided, and protected you since birth was not your biological father, after 25 years of your life? Nobody would take this news lightly, and so the reason Jia Li was pardoned.


    "Hua, go andfort Li girl, leave the rest of the discussion for us to settle." Grandfather Fu said as he waved him away.


    As Fu Hua left, the members of the Fu family and the Huang family talked sadly about the matter. But Old Mr. Huang assured everyone that he will make sure to find out the identity of Jia Li¡¯s birth father.


    He alsoid out the suspect he had in mind and talked about paying the Guang family a visit as soon as they return to the City.


    "Will Mr. Guang allow us to seek an audience with him?" Old Mrs. Huang asked as she wiped her tears. She too has been crying for not knowing about most of the challenges her daughter went through before passing on.


    She wondered what she had done wrong that she couldn¡¯t share important things with her.


    Huang Li found someone with whom she was safe with, and so shared everything with him.


    Old Mr. Huang assured his wife that he would surely meet with his old friend Mr. Guang no matter how many trials it would take for him to ept to meet him.


    Old Mr. Huang hated mysteries, especially when it has to do with his own family. He has to know the reason something happened, or an event took ce.


    After assuring all of them, the story changed. Nobody cared if Mu Keer was gotten rid of, or enved. Their only thought was filled with worry about Jia Li, and how her father¡¯s matter will affect her.


    No matter how worried they were about her, they can¡¯t go to check up on her untilter, because Fu Hua had already gone to do that as her husband.


    The door to their bedroom was locked when Fu Hua tried to open it. He became more worried about his wife and called out to her, there was no response, but he could hear her crying when he ced his left ear on the door.


    "Sweetheart, can you please let me in?" Fu Hua said in a gentle tone.


    "No," Jia Li said in a simple heavy tone, which made it easy for Fu Hua to detect how hoarse her voice was.


    "I¡¯m worried about you." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li didn¡¯t care about his feelings at the moment, and so said to him, "There is no need for that. I don¡¯t want anyone in my sight for now."


    She was speaking from a ce of hurt. She was pained, and at the same time, she was trying not to be rude. Fu Hua didn¡¯t mind her actions and words because he could understand her feelings.


    "But you need a shoulder to cry on, I¡¯m not going to disturb you." Fu Hua said, but when he didn¡¯t hear any repulse from her after a few seconds and thought that she wouldn¡¯t respond to him again, he heard approaching footsteps, and in the next moment, the door was unlocked.


    Jia Li opened the door for him after wiping her tears and Fu Hua quickly walked in and shut the door behind them before taking her hand and leading her to the bed, and there, he embraced her and let her cry to her heart¡¯s content.


    In this situation, it was good to release your emotions through crying, and Fu Hua believed that it was right for his wife to let out her emotions in that way.


    Instead of giving her quotes and telling her not to cry, he let her cry while giving her his shoulder to lean on.


    While patting her back, Fu Hua said to her after he had watched her cry for some minutes. "You know, you can not only cry out, but you can also speak out. You can tell me everything you think about this situation without holding anything back. You are angry, pained, and frustrated, that I understand, so she can speak however you want."


    Fu Hua felt that crying alone will not help to calm her down, but also speak out her mind to him. He wanted to know what she was thinking, and she did talk about her feelings.


    "I love my parents so much, but I can¡¯t endure this. Why didn¡¯t any of them tell me about this? Don¡¯t I deserve to know? This is such a huge secret, imagine the news got out there, what would people think? I feel that I had the right to know about this!"


    Fu Hua released a deep breath before trying to talk to her...


    "I think that the situation surrounding your conception was not a good one, so telling you about it, would hurt them, and also, they must have wanted to protect you as well. Another point is that your parents may have had in mind to tell you about itter, but you saw how they were killed. If they wanted to tell you about it, you were not there with them, and there was no time for it."


    Fu Hua was trying to make her see the situation from different positive angles, because she didn¡¯t and never knew her parents¡¯ intentions, so it was wrong to conclude about it one-sidedly.


    Fu Hua was not judging Jia Li, because he understood she was speaking from a ce of hurt, and luckily, she understood him quickly. She didn¡¯t try to argue with him but reasoned in that direction.


    No good parents would want their children to go through a traumatic experience, and to Jia Li¡¯s parents, they thought the same.. They felt that not telling their daughter about her birth secret, would be a way of protecting her.

 Chapter 602 - Comfort

    <h4>Chapter 602 ¨C Comfort</h4>


    Jia Li continued to sob in Fu Hua¡¯s arms.


    "How am I supposed to live with this truth. I have always had one father, but now, I have two? The one who conceived me, and the one who raised me. Hua, I can¡¯t ept this." Jia Li said with her face buried in his chest.


    Fu Hua patted her back and said in a gentle tone, "You don¡¯t have to ept this situation, and nobody is asking you to. Mr. Qin will always be your father."


    Jia Li sniffed and hugged Fu Hua tightly. She would never have believed that there would be a mystery behind her birth. She has always been loved by her father and her mother, and the love they showered on her, has been keeping her even after their painful death.


    The perfect loving family of three has been shattered, and somehow, she wished her Aunty should have died with that secret, instead of choosing to reveal it now.


    Even after Jia Li had stopped crying, she received to leave Fu Hua¡¯s arms and ended up sleeping. Fu Hua had to gentlyy her on the bed, before leaving the bedroom. And by the time he could return to the sitting room, the meeting was already over.


    Grandfather Fu saw him walk in and reminded him to handle the pending matter he asked to take over, as soon as possible.


    Fu Hua nodded in response, and the oue of the meeting during his absence was shared with him. Old Mr. Huang said he would pay a visit to the Guang family as soon as they return to the city.


    With that, Fu Lei said they had to leave for the City that evening, or early tomorrow morning, so they could deal with the case while it was hot.


    Fu Hua suggested for them to leave that evening, and everyone agreed. Because if they leave in the evening, they will get home at night, then they could all shower, eat and rest, then the next day, they would continue with their investigations.


    Everyone agreed to Fu Hua¡¯s suggestion and so, had the servants pack their things, while their transportation was arranged.


    Fu Hua packed his and Jia Li¡¯s things, as he didn¡¯t want anyone to wake her up by mistake as a result of a little carelessness.


    After gathering their stuff, the two families came together to eat for thest time. Jia Li was still sleeping, so Fu Hua had her food sent to the room.


    After eating, Jasmine who had been sleeping woke up and asked for her dad so she was taken to him.


    Jasmine was being so clingy that Fu Hua had no choice but to hold her in his arms.


    "Do you want to eat something?" He asked in a gentle tone. The little girl nodded her head while resting her jaw on her father¡¯s shoulder.


    "Fine, but you need to pee first." Fu Hua said before taking her into the bedroom.


    Seeing her motherying on the bed with her eyes closed, Jasmine pointed a finger at her and said to her father, "Mummy is sleeping."


    "Yes, so don¡¯t raise your voice." Fu Hua said as he carried her into the bathroom so she could pee.


    It didn¡¯t take long before Jia Li woke up. Fu Hua informed her that they were all going back to the City in the next 1 hour and 30 minutes.


    "Alright, I will eat and freshen up, then pack our bags." Jia Li said as she got off the bed tiredly.


    "There is no need to stress yourself, I have done the parking, just eat and freshen up." Fu Hua said to her.


    In an hour and some minutes, everyone was really to leave, and so, the servants started to carry all their things into the cars that would be taking them to their take-off location.


    Fifteen minutester, they arrived at the private space their private jets were waiting for departure and boarded it.


    It took 3 hours for them to arrive at the City, before entering the cars that would take them back to their Mansions.


    Bai Jun has been silent for a while now, all because she was plotting something, but that didn¡¯t stop her from unting on social media.


    She posted every picture from her daily activities because she was trying to create a presence, just like Feng Alix did.


    The stuff she was plotting wouldn¡¯t happen without Mark¡¯spliance as he was not currently in the Country. He had traveled back as an emergency cropped up in his family, so she was waiting for his return.


    This night, Bai Jun had phoned him and reminded him of their ns, and to find out when he would being back.


    Mark¡¯s response was simple, "I would be back a few days before her birthday. Do you know if she has any big ns for it?"


    "There is no news about it for now. If I find something tangible, I will let you know." Bai Jun replied.


    Their conversation ended right there. Initially, Bai Jun didn¡¯t want to help Mark with his ns for free, hence she demanded he sponsors her which he agreed to. But right now, Bai Jun was the one eager to make sure his ns hold, because she wanted revenge from FangSu, and would go to any length to make it work.


    The next day, the Huang family reached out to the Guang family, but there was no favorable response from them, so Old Mr. Huang had no choice but to prepare to visit them.


    "I think they are still angry with our family for so long. Let me go with you, at least you wouldn¡¯t have to bear their harsh words alone." Old Mrs. Huang said with a worried gaze on her husband.


    "If not for the fact that it¡¯s not right for me to go alone because of the seriousness of this matter, I wouldn¡¯t want any of you toe with me, because Mr. Guang can be pretty harsh." Old Mr. Huang said.


    His children didn¡¯t care how harsh the Guang family would be to them, they only wanted answers because of theirte sister, and so would endure any disrespect and harsh treatment from them.

 Chapter 603 - Guang Bo

    <h4>Chapter 603 ¨C Guang Bo</h4>


    The Guang family didn¡¯t reply to the Huang family¡¯s letter because of the anger and humiliation from so many years ago.


    There was no time to follow protocols by waiting for them to approve of their visit, so, the Huang family embarked on a journey to visit their home.


    Having gotten to their gates, they were denied entrance by their security team.


    "Mr. Guang, we are sorry, but our Master said that you are not allowed to enter this premises." One of the guards said in an apologetic tone.


    Old Mr. Huang was not moved because he knew the animosity between them would amount to this.


    "Put a call through to him, I have an important matter that needs his attention." Old Mr. Huang said to them.


    The guards agreed to his request and one of them put a call through the inte, before passing his message.


    Mr. Guang was very mean. Heter allowed the Huang family in after keeping them waiting at the gates for over 30 minutes.


    The Huang family came for something very important, so even if they were offended, they couldn¡¯t do anything about it.


    After being ushered into the sitting room, they waited for over 10 minutes before Old Mr. Guang walked out with an arrogant expression sitting on his face.


    "What have youe to do in my ce after so many years?" Old Mr. Guang asked as he took a seat, while two servants walked out to serve water to them.


    Without wasting time, Old Mr. Hang spoke up with his gaze on him. "My family and I offended you in the past, and we have apologized so many times, which you refused to ept. We understand, so we do not hold any grudges against you. Recently, we learned about a very disturbing matter."


    Old Mr. Guang listened without saying anything, but his facial expression showed how displeased he was for the grudge against them to be pointed out.


    "My daughter, Huang Li, and her husband died about 5 years ago, but we only found out a year ago, because their daughter didn¡¯t know about our existence, until we coincidentally saw her on TV, and traced her to her hometown before carrying out some investigation which showed that she is truly my granddaughter."


    Old Mr. Guang was still patiently waiting for Old Mr. Huang to arrive at the point of his story because he refused to understand what important matter he was talking about.


    If his daughter and son-inw died, what has that got to do with him? If he found his granddaughter, how did it concern him and his family?


    "But something disturbing happened. Yesterday we found out that the man Li married is not the biological father of their daughter... We have thought things through and I arrived at this point where I had toe and confirm from your son, Bo if he had a deeper rtionship with Li before she left home... I plead with you not to be offended, we just need some rifications on this matter."


    "Why won¡¯t I be offended?! After the shame and embarrassment your daughter caused my family so many years ago after eloping with another few days to her engagement with my son, 25 yearster, you walk through my doors toe and ask this silly question! If your granddaughter is not the biological daughter of her father, what has he got to do with my family, and my son?!"


    Old Mr. Guang was so angry that he was literally shouting on top of his voice, and some of his family members had toe out to check that everything was alright.


    Mr. Huang¡¯s first son decided to speak up. "Sir, we didn¡¯t mean to offend you, we only need to speak with Guang Bo because this is a serious issue for our family. The only people Li was close to at that time, was your son, Bo, and Mr. Qin whom she eventually married. We only want to speak with him to confirm some things. If my sister other husband were still alive, they would have answered this question for us, but unfortunately, they died unjustly."


    Mr. Guang was not willing to make things easier for them. He kept using them of looking for whose family to wreck. He even made an annoying statement saying, that why didn¡¯t they go to the streets to look for the biological father of their granddaughter instead ofing to his home.


    His words offended them greatly and Old Mrs. Huang could not sit still. She said to Mr. Guang, "Mr. Guang, we came here to plead with you, and to ask for your help, and not for you to speak ill of ourte daughter in our presence. No matter how angry you are with us because of the past you shouldn¡¯t talk to us that way."


    "I have every right to say whatever I want. This is my house, and you all begged to enter it, so why can¡¯t you endure the heat?" Old Mr. Guang asked while pointing at them.


    "Mr. Guang, we indeed begged for your audience, not to be insulted, but to see for help. We came to see Guang Bo, as we believe that he should know something about my sister¡¯s secret." The third daughter of the Huang family said as she met his gaze.


    "You lot have overstayed your wee. Guang Bo is not around, and I hope you will not coke looking for me again. You are no longer weed here." Old Mr. Guang said and got to his feet, but as he turned to walk away, someone walked in, in steady steps while pulling a piece of luggage along.


    The person that walked in, seemed to be who the Huang family was looking for because they all seemed surprised and at the same time, relieved to see him.


    Guang Bo was surprised to see the Huang family in his family¡¯s sitting room, because thest he confirmed, they were not on good terms.


    Guang Bo walked in and handed his luggage to a servant to take to his bedroom, while he walked towards the direction his father and the Huang family were, to greet them.

 Chapter 604 - The Truth From The Past I

    <h4>Chapter 604 ¨C The Truth From The Past I</h4>


    Since the person they were looking for was here, Old Mr. Guang could no longer ask them to leave.


    When Guang Bo learned the reason the Huang family were in his home was to see him, he sat on the couch with a bit of surprise.


    There was no time to waste since Mr. Guang had already taken much of their time. Most of them had other appointments for the day, but they were all canceled because of Huang Li¡¯s matter.


    The first son of the Huang family was the person that exined their reason for finding him. When Guang Bo heard about Huang Li¡¯s passing, there was a notable change in his emotions.


    He looked a little hurt about her passing, and this was not supposed to be so in the real sense, because Huang Li ran away with another man a few days before their engagement.


    On a normal note, he wasn¡¯t supposed to be moved by her passing after the humiliation he and his family had to go through unless there was more to their rtionship, and he didn¡¯t hold any grudge against her.


    As Mr. Huang¡¯s first son continued speaking, he got to the part where the found out about Jia Li¡¯s father not being her biological father.


    Guang Bo did not say anything. He remained quiet and listened to him speak, and his thoughts remained only known to himself.


    After presenting the real reason they came looking for him, Old Mr. Huang took over, much to his old friend¡¯s displeasure.


    "Guang Bo, I remembered that you were a little close to Li before she left, so I came to ask you if you know anything about Li¡¯s rtionship with anyone else?"


    Mr. Guang could not rx at this point. He pointed a finger at Mr. Huang and spoke up, "Huang, how do you expect my son to know about your daughter¡¯s affairs?! Shouldn¡¯t you go and find her friends?!"


    "Dad, Li is not that kind of person!" Guang Bo interrupted immediately. His tone was so heavy which clearly stated how angry he was.


    "How do you know she is not like that? Did you also know that she was going to run away with another man a few days before your engagement with her?!" Old Mr. Guang asked with a death re, but the response he got, was shocking.


    "Yes, I knew about it!" Guang Bo replied.


    "What do you mean by that?!" Old Mr. Guang asked with furrowed brows while the Huang family watched and listened attentively to what Guang Bo had to say.


    Guang Bo covered his face with his hands, and the next moment, he took his hands away from his face, and his eyeball was already reddened.


    The feeling of guilt, while he watched his father use Huang Li for so many years, has long eaten him up, but no more, because he was ready to confess his sins.


    He was ready for redemption, no matter how little he would receive. His grave mistakes in the past were something he couldn¡¯t take back, and now that he was courageous to spill the truth, he was also ready to bear the consequences.


    "I knew that Li was not going to go through with our engagement, not after what I did to her!"


    "What... what did you do to her?" Old Mrs. Huang inquired with a little fear in her voice. It looks like she was already afraid of whatever Guang Bo had to confess.


    Old Mr. Guang had no idea of where his saw was driving to, but he kept calm and listened just like the other members of the Huang family.


    "During the Guang¡¯spany Anniversary Dinner, I was a little drunk, and you (Mr. Huang) and my father asked Li to take me to the room reserved under my name, along with another servant..."


    Before the Guang Company Anniversary Dinner, Bo and Li had gone on three dates, out of which Li was forced to go, by her father.


    During those dates, Li didn¡¯t hide her rtionship with Mr. Qin from Bo, but Bo, on the other hand, didn¡¯t care about it, because he liked Li very much at that time, and wanted to marry her.


    Li made her decisions clear that she would never marry him, and that the reason she was willing toe out to see him, was because her father was keeping an eye on Mr. Qin, and she was afraid he would harm him, so she had to be obedient.


    Although Li had told her father so many times since he set up the engagement with the Guang family, that she can¡¯t marry Guang Bo, she still went on the date he set up for her.


    What got Guang Bo drunk on his family¡¯spany¡¯s Anniversary Dinner?


    When Bo and Li were left together at the event, Bo had mentioned to Li if she could consider spending the rest of her life with him, as he promised to make her happy, but Li refused and was insistent on her rtionship with Mr. Qin.


    Bo was so sad and heartbroken that he forgot where he was and drank more than enough.


    When he walked back to the table where his parents and Mr. Huang and Mrs. Huang were sitting and cracked a small joke with them, they knew he was drunk, and asked Li who just arrived at their table to excuse herself from the event because she wanted to secretly meet up with Mr. Qin, to make sure he gets to the room.


    "I will be leaving after that." Huang Li said to them, before leading the way as the waiter that was called over, helped Guang Bo and followed after her.


    Mr. Guang and Mr. Huang¡¯s intention, was for their children to bond, and that was the only reason they asked Li to go along, without knowing that something nerve-wracking was going to happen, which happened to be the one event, urrence, and situation that changed all their lives.


    On getting to Guang Bo¡¯s hotel room, Huang Li took out his key card from his pocket and unlocked the door with it, before going in with the waiter who was helping Guang Bo walk.

 Chapter 605 - The Truth From The Past II

    <h4>Chapter 605 ¨C The Truth From The Past II</h4>


    After helping Guang Bo toy on the bed, the waiter took off his shoes and socks ording to Huang Li¡¯s instructions before leaving.


    Huang Li was about to leave when she heard Guang Bo¡¯s phone ring from his trouser pocket, so she walked back to the bedside to take the phone from his picket, after which she put on silence, so the sound from his phone wouldn¡¯t disturb him.


    Huang Li put his phone on the nightstand and immediately, her phone started to ring, and without ncing at the caller ID, she picked up the call immediately as she was afraid the ringtone will wake Guang Bo up, or disturb him.


    Hearing the familiar voice that makes her heart tter over the phone, Huang Li forgot where she was and screamed his name excitedly.


    "You¡¯re here already? okay, give me 5-7 minutes I will be outside soon." Huang Li said with a big smile as she walked to the window and pushed the curtain aside slightly, so she could see if she can see the hotel entrance from the window, but unfortunately, she couldn¡¯t.


    Mr. Qin said something else over the phone, and Huang Li replied, "I love you too."


    After ending the call, and still, with a smile on her face, Huang Li closed the curtain and turned to leave, but she was frightened because Guang Bo was standing in front of her, and gazing at her with a deep frown.


    She had no idea when he got out of the bed and came to stand behind her.


    "What are you doing? Are you trying to scare me?" Huang Li asked while patting her chest.


    "Were you speaking with the man you rejected me for?" Guang Bo asked fluently, without looking and speaking like he was drunk.


    Huang Li frowned and said to him, "He was already in my life before my father forced you in, so don¡¯t speak as if I met you first."


    After saying that, Huang Li walked past him and went for the door out of annoyance, but what she didn¡¯t expect was that her words would anger Guang Bo who wasn¡¯t thinking properly.


    Before she could touch the handle of the door, Guang Bo reached out and pulled her away.


    "Guang Bo, what do you think you¡¯re doing?! Let me go this moment!" Huang Li said as she tried to pry his hand off her arm, but she couldn¡¯t because his force was way stronger.


    Guang Bo dragged her out from the door and pulled her towards the bed before pushing her on it.


    Huang Li was very angry, and she kicked him on his stomach before he could lean on her. "If you¡¯re drunk, why don¡¯t you go to sleep instead of acting like a hoodlum?!"


    After shouting at him, she rolled off the bed and picked up her phone that had fallen on the rug because of him pulling her, and made her way towards the door.


    It felt like fire was ignited within Guang Bo. He has heard her speaking with Mr. Qin earlier, and he knew she was leaving for him, and he couldn¡¯t let that happen.


    And with that desire to stop her from going to meet him, he got off the bed and dragged her again to the bed, while she screamed and continued to hit him.


    ....


    "No matter what you do, I would never agree to be with you!" Huang Li said with a fierce gaze after failing to fight him off.


    "Since my action won¡¯t make you change your mind, then there is no need in letting you off..." Guang Bo said as he pressed down on her.


    ...


    15 minutester, Huang Li who was in tears picked up her shoes and her ringing phone before dashing out of the room. And as she walked along the corridors, she hid her face from the camera and the people walking along the hallway, so her face would not be recognized.


    Finally making it outside the hotel building, Huang Li whose eyes were blurry because of her tears, saw Mr. Qin where he was standing and trying to dial her contact again with a worried gaze.


    As she watched him, more tears dripped from her eyes. Atst, she called out to him and quickened her steps towards him as she was in high need of hisfort, but her steps wobbled, and she fell.


    Mr. Qin who heard his name turned towards the direction where Huang Li was sitting on the floor. He saw her, and the state she was in and ran towards her in rm.


    "Li! what... what happened to you?!" Mr. Qin asked in horror as he nced at her torn dress, and the horrible state she was in, as he squat in front of her.


    "Plea.. se... please, take me away from here!" Huang Li begged him in tears, as she reached out to hold his shirt.


    At that time, Mr. Qin didn¡¯t know what happened to her, he was only after taking her away from the hotel as she requested. And so, he stopped a taxi and helped her in.


    It was only after she had struggled to get in, and he sat beside her, and the driver drove off towards the address he gave to him, that he was able to catch a glimpse of the somewhat dried blood on her thighs.


    Mr. Qin who had wanted to ask her what happened, and why her 5-7 minutes, took 20-25 minutes, but no word could leave his lips, because he was so shocked.


    Huang Li was still crying with a hand over her mouth, as she couldn¡¯t get over what she had just experienced.


    Mr. Qin didn¡¯t want his imagination to run wide, but he could already guess what happened, and his heart was filled with rage.


    With reddened eyes, he asked Huang Li in a low tone, "Who did this to you?."


    Huang Li refused to respond and only continued to cry. Mr. Qin didn¡¯t ask her any more questions and instead, hugged her tightly and kissed the top of her head, andforted her.


    Mr. Qin took Huang Li straight to the hospital for medical attention and treatment. Huang Li refused to spend the night at the hospital because she didn¡¯t feel safe there, so Mr.. Qin had to take her to his self-con apartment.

 Chapter 606 - The Truth From The Past III

    <h4>Chapter 606 ¨C The Truth From The Past III</h4>


    Before taking her back to his house, Huang Li had requested some pills to prevent pregnancy, which actually didn¡¯t work, because she discovered her pregnancy two weeks and some dayster.


    And with her father¡¯s insistence on her getting engaged to the man who defiled her, Huang Li nned her escape with Mr. Qin, a few days to her engagement with Guang Bo.


    And since that incident at the hotel, Guang Bo did not contact her, as he hadn¡¯t the courage to do that. But he still remembered the words she said to him that evening he took her forcefully.


    "You will never know any peace!"


    As she cursed him, it really did happen. He has not known peace for the past 26 years from that incident to the current day.


    Of course, Guang Bo didn¡¯t mention his evil deeds to anybody, and he acted selfishly and was relieved that Huang Li never mentioned the incident to anybody.


    He could have been sent to jail for that action he took against her, she didn¡¯t report him but instead eloped with the man that cherished her more than the infatuation he had of her.


    He was relieved that she left his sight because seeing her, would remind him of his sins, and the guilt he felt towards her.


    Even after not being in peace for all these years, Guang Bo did not remember that Huang Li had cursed. He didn¡¯t know the reason he had not been at peace, until seeing the Huang family today.


    Presently, Guang Bo just said to the Huang family, "... I... I was a little drunk and devastated because Li rejected me, and Imitted a huge sin by forcing her against her wish. I¡¯m sorry!!!"


    In that shock of his confessions, nobody knew when Old Mr. Huang got up andnded a huge p on his cheeks. He was so fast that it was toote to stop him.


    "You forced my daughter against her wish?! Are you not an animal?!" Old Mr. Huang shouted while pointing at Guang Bo angrily. He would have hit him again if not for his sons holding him back.


    Even Old Mr. Guang was shocked by his son¡¯s confession. He was disappointed at the shameful criminal act hemitted years ago, but he still tried to defend him by ming the alcohol he drank.


    "Old Huang, you can¡¯t me Bo directly, he was drunk. He wasn¡¯t in his right senses when that happened! And besides, this matter has been long, let¡¯s talk about something else."


    "What did you say?!" Old Mrs. Huang said with reddened eyes. She wish she could bruise the old man¡¯s head right there, but she couldn¡¯t.


    "Old Guang, have you lost your mind?! Has old age blocked your senses? If your son was not, or is not in his right senses, shouldn¡¯t he be sent to the psychiatric hospital, what is he still doing here? I hated my daughter and disowned her for 26 years and med her for embarrassing our families, not knowing that your son has been the one behind it! And he had the guts to remain quiet for so many years while we med and hated the word person. Tell me, is this fair!" Old Mr. Huang shouted.


    This time around, the rest of the Guang family members who were in hiding, walked out to watch the full drama on ground, with a shocked gaze at what the second eldest in their family did some years ago.


    "No wonder Li was so resistant a few days before she left the house. I had no idea that my daughter went through such pain, hurt, shame and trauma all because the Guang family could not raise a good son!" Old Mrs. Huang shouted as she faced Old Mr. Huang who could not say a word.


    How could he dare to talk? Gone were those hours he had the right to brag and insult the Huang family. Now, it was his turn to be insulted in his own house


    Where was his pride? It was long gone!


    Guang Bo saw that the matter was getting worse and tried to smooth things out. "Uncle Huang, I¡¯m very sorry..."


    The second son of the Huang family was not in a good mood, in fact, none of them were. He pointed at Guang Bo and said, "Who is your uncle? Does my father look like he has any blood rtionship with your family?"


    The Huang sisters began to speak one after the other.


    "Guang Bo, even till the end, Li was very kind to you. She saved your dignity by not telling any of us what you did to her. What right do you have to deserve this kind of treatment after the abominable act youmitted?"


    "I can¡¯t believe you would do such a thing to my sister! I hope you would never find peace for the evil you did!"


    The Huang family was deeply infuriated for the injustice Huang Li suffered, and for the light, they saw her in 26 years ago.


    They all wondered how grieved Li was at the fact that her family was forcing her to marry the man that raped her. She must have felt deeply hurt even though they were ignorant of the matter.


    The Huang family all felt like murdering Guang Bo, but it would not be worth it, to stain their hands with blood.


    Old Mr. Huang could not stay a moment longer in the Guang residence, and immediately asked his family to leave with him, but Old Mr. Guang interrupted him.


    "Old Huang, don¡¯t leave yet. Don¡¯t forget the main reason you came here for. You came here because you were looking for the biological father of your granddaughter. And now that we have all known the truth, why don¡¯t you and your family sit, so we can make peace?!"


    Old Mrs. Huang responded angrily, "What peace? There is nothing that will ever bring our two families together. My granddaughter already had a father we were satisfied with. The blood of an unruly monster can never run her blood."


    "I know you are angry, but I will pardon you. Since we havee this far, let my son and your granddaughter take a paternity test to officially confirm that he is her biological father." Old Mr.. Guang suggested.

 Chapter 607 - The Truth From The Past IV

    <h4>Chapter 607 ¨C The Truth From The Past IV</h4>


    From the story his son narrated, there was a 98% chance that he was the biological father of Jia Li, but for formality¡¯s sake, he wanted a paternity test to hold.


    Jia Li was already grown up and was sessful, what more, she married into the Fu family. It wouldn¡¯t be bad for all three families to be united, he thought to himself.


    "Never! That will never happen!" The third daughter of the Huang family said.


    "What do you think will happen if that youngdy learns the method through which she was conceived? I will suggest for you to give up on that ridiculous idea!"


    "I know this situation very well. Of course, it won¡¯t dwell well with her, but with time, she will learn to ept him, because she can never deny who her biological father is!" Old Mr. Guang insisted.


    He was only after the benefits he would get if the three familieses together, and nothing else.


    Old Mr. Huang was so infuriated by his words and useless attitude that he raised his hand to hit him, but he was held back by his children, and the Gu family members hurried over, while Mr. Guang and his son who has been silent with remorse, were shocked by his attempted action.


    "Old Guang, I dare you or any member of your family to cross our paths, then you will see if I¡¯m capable of bringing down your Guang family or not." After threatening him, Old Mr. Huang took his wife¡¯s hand and led the way out for the rest of his family.


    Anyone would frown upon the injustice Huang Li experienced. That she rejected Guang Bo¡¯s promation of love would never have justified his abominable actions.


    As they left the Guang residence, Old Mr. Huang couldn¡¯t stop ming himself for ever thinking of matching his daughter with the son of the Guang family. To him, that was the greatest mistake of his time.


    He was now beginning to think that if he had epted Huang Li¡¯s choice of a life partner, she would never have suffered so many grievances, and died so early in that manner.


    Her future from 26 years ago, was because he refused to ept her wishes.


    The entire Huang family was furious and a few of them regretted why they didn¡¯t punch Guang Bo in the face, and more especially, Old Mr. Guang who talked as if theirte sister¡¯s injustice was not a big deal.


    Meanwhile, the Fu family was waiting for the Huang to report back to them.


    Fu Hua let Jia Li take a few days off from work because of her mental health. She had shock after finding out that the person that raised her was not her biological father, so right now, her mind was conflicted.


    Fu Hua didn¡¯t go to work either as he wanted to stay close to his wife even though he spent most of his day in the study. He did this because he believed that his presence will somewhatfort her and keep her mind at ease, which actually did.


    Jia Li has been troubled all day, but there were moments when she took a break from thinking about her birth secret, and those moments were when Fu Hua asked her toe to the study to talk about work.


    His aim was to distract her from her thoughts by engaging her in a business discussion. Atst, he asked her if he was interested inunching her clothing line in FJ soon.


    "..."


    Jia Li didn¡¯t expect that question because she hasn¡¯t been thinking much about it. She was still focusing on building her capacity in her job. Since he has asked the question rted to her dream, she had to respond.


    "Mmm... I¡¯m still thinking about it. I have no idea for now."


    Fu Hua managed a small smile as he said to her, "I don¡¯t like your reply. I need a reply in the next 5 minutes." Fu Hua said thest sentence with a nce at the table clock on his desk.


    "What? I have to think of a reply right now?" Jia Li asked with raised brows. She was really surprised by the sudden task.


    It has really been a while since he Bossed her around. She has be so used to seeing her as her husband that she forgot he was her big boss at work.


    "Yes, and your time has started counting. Take this and sit over there." Fu Hua said as he handed a piece of in paper and a pen to her, and pointed for her to go sit on the couch.


    Jia Li grudgingly took the items from him and went to sit at the couch he pointed at. Fu Hua smiled as he watched her walk away while grumbling to herself.


    Jia Li¡¯s mind was nk for 30 seconds straight before she could start thinking of anything. And when 5 minutes was up, Fu Hua called her to submit the paper.


    "Jia Li?" Fu Hua called out to her as he focused his gaze on her.


    "Huh..." Jia Li muttered in surprise as she nced over at him. She was surprised that he called her by her name instead of the usual pet names.


    Fu Hua knew the reason for her surprise and chuckled softly, "Your husband will be back shortly, but till then you will have to face your Boss and do your best to please him. Come here, your time is up!"


    Jia Li had no choice but to walk up to him to submit the paper while thinking of the long day she had ahead of her.


    Taking the paper from her, Fu Hua nced through it while asking, "When do you n tounch your clothing line, I can¡¯t see any date yet?"


    "Oh! I haven¡¯t concluded on it yet." Jia Li replied.


    Fu Hua folded the paper she gave to him into two and passed it to her. Now, there was no smile on his face. "I want a date ASAP! If you don¡¯t have a date, then your concept is pointless.. When you have a date or month, all the ideas you wrote, will make sense."

 Chapter 608 - The Truth From The Past V

    <h4>Chapter 608 ¨C The Truth From The Past V</h4>


    Fu Hua believed that if she had a date (month) she wanted tounch her products in, then it will help her to be goal-driven, and put in more seriousness.


    Without a date, and even with her best ideas, she wouldn¡¯t be serious and active with it, because she has no deadline.


    "I willunch my clothing line next year." Jia Li replied.


    Fu Hua didn¡¯t say anything to her. He just watched her with his hand on his elbow, while waiting for her to continue.


    Jia Li kind of got the message that he wasn¡¯t satisfied with her answer, and was waiting for a more specific date, so she said, "I will do that around February next year."


    "Why?" Fu Hua asked with a serious gaze on her. His tone sounded normal, but his gaze on her didn¡¯t look like he was there to joke.


    "Because I want to be very prepared for it." Jia Li replied as she was beginning to feel that this was an interrogation.


    Fu Hua bowed his head, and then looked up at her. "What I¡¯m going to say concerning this, might not be in your favor, but I don¡¯t care anyway, since after your growth and helping you realize your dreams and goals before you get toozy about it, and end up changing your mind."


    From his words and the seriousness behind them, Jia Li could already guess that he was about to make things difficult for her.


    Making things difficult for her, would stretch her capabilities.


    "You willunch your clothing line under FJ in December. Chose a date between the first week and the second week of December." Fu Hua said. This was not a suggestion, it was amand that could not be refuted.


    "What! December is too close! we are almost in August ending, and this will mean that I only have 3 months tounch my clothing line." Jia Li said in shock.


    The date he had just given to her, was too close, and she didn¡¯t think she could get things done by that time.


    "December it is. You have tounch your clothing line at least a week before we have our end of the yearpany dinner." Fu Hua informed.


    End of the year dinner was one event that FJ didn¡¯t frequent, and now that there was a n to be one, it was surely going to be a big one.


    Jia Li looked unhappy as she stared at him. "Don¡¯t look at me that way, your tricks can not work on me. What¡¯s your brand name, I didn¡¯t see it there?" Fu Hua asked while pointing at the in paper in her hand.


    "My brand name is J-mine." Jia Li replied with an unhappy gaze.


    "Coined from Jia Li & Jasmine?" Fu Hua inquired when he already knew the answer. That was the same brand name Jia Li used to join FJ.


    Jia Li nodded in response to his question, as she was more than happy to bring her brand to life, after coining the name from hers, and her daughter¡¯s.


    Fu Hua folded his arms and rxed on his seat and threw a funny question at her. "What about your husband and your son? Why did you leave our names out?"


    "J-mine got you covered as well, and I don¡¯t have a son!" Jia Li said with an amused gaze.


    Fu Hua smiled and whispered, "You¡¯re about to have one."


    Fu Hua gave Jia Li at most a week to prepare her partnership proposal, so he could present it in the next board of directors meeting.


    This was a big task for her, and he was willing to help with the proposal. Fu Hua had nothing to fear because he was so sure of the 90% approval.


    Nobody would do any business that will make him lose capital or profits. Jia Li was popr, and many fans and followers has been expecting something like this, so he knew her poprity will help her brand a lot, plus her creativity and concept.


    Surely, the majority of the board of directors would never dream about rejecting her. After all, they have always been supporting Fu Hua to buy Jia Li¡¯s designs before she joined FJ.


    When the Huang family got back home, they didn¡¯t immediately call the Fu family to tell them the oue of their meeting with the Guang family. They first talked about the matter within themselves, rested a bit before contacting the Fu family.


    Old Mr. Huang called Grandfather Fu directly and told him the heartbreaking secret he found out from the Guang family.


    Even Grandfather Fu wasn¡¯t expecting that kind of news. Although he knew the matter was not simple, but never did her imagine it would be so heartbreaking.


    His concern right now was Jia Li and nobody else. This news would have a heavy impact on her, and he wondered how she would recover from it.


    Fu Hua was called into the study room along with his father and uncle because of this matter. The Fu family was disappointed in Guang Bo¡¯s actions years ago.


    Hemitted such an abominable act, secondly, he did confess to anybody and let Huang Li be med and hated all these times.


    If only Huang Li knew that her father would never have forced her to marry the man that r*ped her, she would have spilled the truth to him.


    She had thought that he would have more reason to force them to get married after that incident, but she was wrong.


    Well, she couldn¡¯t be med for thinking that way with how determined and keen her father was in getting her and Guang Bo married at that time.


    Fu Hua made another request to his grandfather, father, and uncle not to reveal this news to Jia Li yet.


    "The Huang family asked me not to tell her about it because they are never going to go through with their initial ns." Grandfather Fu said to him.


    He went on to tell him Old Mr. Huang¡¯s thoughts on the case. ording to him, he didn¡¯t care if Guang Bo and Jia Li were rted biologically, and no test would be carried out to confirm it because Mr.. Qin is his son-inw, and the father of Jia Li as long as he was concerned.

 Chapter 609 - You Are Righteous

    <h4>Chapter 609 ¨C You Are Righteous</h4>


    Grandfather Fu and Old Mr. Huang concluded that the DNA test will only be done if Jia Li wants, but they all knew that she may never want it done.


    Fu Hua did not agree with the fact that this matter should be kept hidden from Jia Li. He knew everyone was avoiding telling her about this because they were scared to hurt her, but he believed that this kind of thing shouldn¡¯t be hidden from her.


    "Grandfather, it will be better if we tell Jia Li about it. Although she may look like she is not interested in this matter, she is bothered by it. We should tell her in the simplest way possible to avoid her emotions being raged."


    "Since Jia Li is your wife, it will be more appropriate for you to talk to her. I would have loved to tell her myself, but this topic doesn¡¯t seem appropriate for me to bring it up to her." Grandfather Fu said with a frown.


    Jia Li was his favorite, and he would have loved to break this news to her andfort her, but it didn¡¯t look appropriate for him to bring it up to her.


    Old Mr. Guang had another idea about telling Jia Li about her birth secret. He simply didn¡¯t care about the Guang family and would want to have anything to do with them, hence he didn¡¯t want Jia Li to know about it at all.


    Her not knowing about this matter to him would strongly cover up the idea the Guang family may have about it.


    Fu Hu agreed to break this news himself, and he was actually preparing not to be emotional when breaking the news to her because being emotional will also affect her.


    Jia Li had every right to know how she was conceived and under what circumstances it happened. And hiding this kind of important information wouldn¡¯t be good. She might hold a grudge against them.


    Fu Hua waited till after dinner, and when he was alone with Jia Li in the bedroom before he brought up the matter.


    "I want to go to work tomorrow, I¡¯m fine now. Also going back to work soon will help mee up with a better proposal for my coboration with FJ." Jia Li said as climbed into bed.


    Fu Hua didn¡¯t say anything about it, because what he was about to tell her, will have a negative impact on her, and she would not have to go to work tomorrow.


    "The Huang family met with the Guang family today, concerning your mother and your birth." Fu Hua said with his gaze on her.


    Jia Li who was calm and collected while talking about going back to work the next day, suddenly looked gloomy.


    She somehow didn¡¯t want to hear what he had to say, but another part of her was curious to know the reason her parents would hide such an important matter from her.


    ¡¯How serious was this matter that it had to be hidden from me?¡¯ That was the question Jia Li was thinking about now.


    Fu Hua did not wait for her reply before dropping the bombshell in a simple statement.


    "Guang Bo of the famous Guang family..."


    As he spoke, Jia Li¡¯s heartbeat escted. The only thing she could feel was the tightness in her chest. She could feel her airflow being restricted.


    Fu Hua continued after waiting a while for her reaction but there was none. "Your mother was rushed to the hospital by your father to be treated, she also took pills to prevent pregnancy..."


    She took pills to prevent pregnancy as a result of rape, but it was obvious that it didn¡¯t work because she found out she was pregnant 2 weekster.


    "Are you saying that I am a product or r*pe?" Jia Li asked with rushed breathing as she slowly turned her gaze towards him.


    Noticing her rushed breathing, Fu Hua panicked a little and ced a hand on her chest to check how fast she was breathing, but she hit his hand away with all her strength.


    That must have hurt a lot, because Fu Hua didn¡¯t see thating, and he retreated his hand as fast as he could and nced at his already bright red hands.


    Jia Li did not even care if she had hurt him, and she couldn¡¯t even see how red her red palms were, or feel it hurting because of the strength she used to hit him. Her mind was filled with the thoughts of her being conceived through r*pe.


    Although Fu Hua had tried not to be so direct with his exnation, Jia Li interpreted the message and used the word he didn¡¯t dare to use on her.


    Fu Hua was tongue-tied, and for several seconds, he didn¡¯t say anything to her. It was only when she tried to get off the bed because tears were already streaming down her cheeks, did he hold her back say to her...


    "No, you are not. I was only trying to exin something to you. Sometimes, the product of something does not always determine the origins, and you are an exception. Don¡¯t forget who your father is."


    Fu Hua was trying to tell her that although she was conceived in the most unrighteous way, that didn¡¯t make her unrighteous either, because the man who she has always seen as her father since she began to understand things was righteous, and therefore, she was righteous.


    "Mr. Qin was the man who nurtured you in your mother¡¯s womb. When you were born, he raised you, loved you, provided for you, protected you, thought you, gave you everything you wanted and needed, he did his best for you. He yed these roles in your life because he was your father. Mr. Qin is your father, and he would always be."


    Fu Hua¡¯s words made Jia Li break down in tearspletely. Her sobs graduated to burst of tears. She cried as she covered her mouth with her palms.


    Fu Hua was only trying to make her change the perception she had about her conception, without knowing it would be so heart-warming to her.


    A sigh of relief escaped from his lips as he brought her to her chest and held her in his arms andforted her.

 Chapter 610 - Resignation Letter

    <h4>Chapter 610 ¨C Resignation Letter</h4>


    Fu Hua spends the next day preparing and finalizing the surprise vacation for Jia Li. He had once said he would reward her to go on a vacation with her friends and today, he was fulfilling it.


    To make sure the vacation worked, he contacted her friends and told them about it, and also helped them to take a few days off from work in other to make it for the vacation he nned.


    Of course, Jia Li¡¯s three friends were more than happy to go on a vacation with her, especially after learning that her mood was down. The three would do anything to cheer their friend up.


    Fu Hua wanted Jia Li to quickly take her mind off the stress and troubles of the past week, hence, the reason for his n.


    Fu Hua only told Jia Li she was going on a vacation with her friends after every arrangement for it was ready.


    ******


    Fu Ling returned to work today. After the sessful recruitment of a new investor, he felt at ease and granted himself a day off after returning from Jia Li¡¯s hometown with the rest of the family.


    What greeted him as soon as he walked into this office, was his personal assistant, waiting for him with a white envelope in her hand.


    He only nced at her briefly before going to sit on his seat before asking, "Any problem?"


    Xin nced at the envelope in her hand before handing it over to Fu Ling who took it but refused to open it. It was more like he was waiting for her to talk, and knowing that, Xin was forced to speak.


    "Sir, that is my resignation letter."


    Immediately she said that Fu Ling¡¯s gaze deepened he went on to take out the letter in the envelope. "Your resignation letter?" He asked.


    "Yes. I don¡¯t want to work for here anymore." Xin said.


    "And what¡¯s your reason?" Fu Ling asked as he opened the letter and began to read its content.


    That was a big question for Xin. She knew the reason she wanted to quit, and she also penned it down in the letter he was currently reading, but know, he wanted her to say it with her mouth?


    Xin took a deep breath before replying, "I am quitting because I am no longer able to separate my private life from my professional life, which is against ourpany¡¯s work ethics."


    Fu Ling who had just seen the same statement she made on the letter, put it on his desk, and looked up at her. He didn¡¯t seem to take her seriously in any way.


    "And if I may ask, what kind of private life do you have that is making you mix it up with your work here?" He asked curiously.


    Looking him in the eye, she said without fear, because she believed that he wouldn¡¯t hesitate to sack her once he hears what she is about to say next.


    "I was unclear of the kind of feelings I had for my Boss when I first started to work for him, but when he asked me to be his fake girlfriend, I realized my true feelings for him, and since then, I have been struggling within myself to hide them. But some days ago, I think I got busted. Now, I do not have the ability to keep working for him."


    "If I may ask, what kind of feelings do you have for him?" Fu Ling asked. The way he was asking these questions was surprising to Xin, and she didn¡¯t know what he was ying at.


    She has already given him pointers to make him know that she was talking about him, still, he was asking that kind of question.


    Xin felt like a joke in front of him because he looked like he didn¡¯t care about her feelings for him. Nevertheless, she still went on to reply to all his questions.


    "I like my Boss."


    "It¡¯s normal to like me, if you don¡¯t, you won¡¯t put in the kind of effort you are putting in, just like the others. When you like someone, you do your best to please him or her, and everyone here has been doing it." Fu Ling said.


    At this point, Xin didn¡¯t know if he was ying dumb, or serious with his words.


    "Sir, I have romantic feelings for you, and I don¡¯t think I can work for you anymore. Please sign the resignation letter." Xin said with a straight face while forcing the tears threatening to break free, back into her eyes.


    Fu Ling was quiet for a few moments before picking up the letter on his desk and putting it back into the envelope. Next, he handed it to her.


    "Sir..." Xin said, a little startled.


    "Take your letter back, don¡¯t leave my hand hanging, I¡¯m still your boss, remember?" Fu Ling said without a smile.


    Xin wondered what was wrong with him as she took the envelope from him.


    Fu Ling fixed his gaze on her and started saying, "I will sign your resignation letter, but not now. I will get a new recement for your position, and you will have 2 weeks to pass all your knowledge to that person before I will sign on those papers."


    Xin never expected that kind of response from him. She thought he would either sign her resignation letter immediately, or punish her ording to thepany rules for having feelings for him, and even confessing to him, but he did neither of it.


    His decision made her know that she didn¡¯t know him very well. Well, she took her letter and left his office immediately.


    This was not Fu Ling¡¯s initial n. He had wanted to ask her to take a week off from work to clear her feelings, but for some reasons best known to him alone, he changed his mind.


    After she left his office, Fu Ling made a call in search of someone that would rece Xin¡¯s position in 2 weeks. This time around, Fu Ling was more specific about the gender he wanted to work under him.


    He wanted a male to be his personal assistant, to avoid another situation, whereby another female would fall for him and may do crazy things just to get him.

 Chapter 611 - Debts To Pay Off

    <h4>Chapter 611 ¨C Debts To Pay Off</h4>


    In the evening, Fu Hua told Jia Li about the vacation ns he made for her, after telling her to pack her bags and get ready to leave the house.


    The way he said it at first, shocked Jia Li because she had thought he meant something else. Seeing her lost look, Fu Hua couldn¡¯t help chuckling.


    He weaved his fingers through her long hair and cleared her clouded thoughts. "I booked a 4 days vacation for you and your friends in Miami."


    "Are you serious or are you joking with me?" Jia Li asked with an unbelievable facial expression. She didn¡¯t know why she found it difficult to believe him, maybe it was because he sometimes, yed pranks on her.


    "There are times to joke, and there are times to be serious. Right now, I am very serious. I want you to go have fun and rx, then when youe back, we will continue with your clothing line business." Fu Hua said with a smile


    Jia Li was about to say she was fine staying at home to rest, but his mentioning about her business matters, got her grabbing the opportunity to get away from work, like a child.


    "Alright, I will go pack my things immediately. What about Jasmine, is sheing with me?"


    Fu Hua patted her hair and said, "If I ask you to take Jasmine along, do you think you will find rest, which is the sole purpose for this vacation?"


    Jia Li shook her head in a negative way. Taking Jasmine with her will give her a big headache because she would end up talking too much.


    Jasmine was a very curious and sensitive toddler, which makes it difficult to control her, especially when you take her out. She would ask you lots of crazy questions and touch everything she sees, and the worst part is that if you scold her too much, she would end up crying.


    Jia Li was definitely not about to add more problems to herself.


    "Good! So, you go on your vacation while I take care of our little daughter till youe back." Fu Hua said and ended up kissing her cheeks.


    Jia Li licked her lips after the kiss and said, "I will take this as a sacrifice for being a wonderful husband to me."


    Fu Hua chuckled and said, "This is nothing! You want to know what the main sacrifice would be? You have to sleep with me every night till you travel to Miami, starting from this night."


    "What! That means I have to sleep with you three nights in a row?" Jia Li asked.


    "Hmmm..." Fu Hua hummed in reply as he put his hands inside his trouser pockets.


    Jia Li thought if he wanted to make her body withered before sending off for the vacation. But she just realized that she doesn¡¯t know the kind of sleeping he meant. It may be just sleeping in his arms, instead of the other one in her mind, so she asked...


    "What kind of sleeping with me did you mean?"


    Fu Hua leaned over and stared right into her eyes while saying, "The one where my touches make you yearn for more, and also the one that makes you beg me to be faster."


    "You!" Jia Li¡¯s face was so red out of embarrassment, that she pushed him away and ran into the walk-in closet.


    Fu Hua cracked up as he watched her run away out of embarrassment. Although he wasughing now, he truly meant what he said.


    A few minutester, he went into the walk-in closet to help his wife pack her things. And while helping her out, he told her to speed up her proposal.


    "... it doesn¡¯t need to be perfect, I can help you perfect it, but I want you to give me something tangible to work with. By the time you return, the board of directors should have approved it, and you will swing right into work."


    "Sure, I will continue to work on it this night." Jia Li said as she took the folded dress he passed to her and put it inside her luggage.


    "No, not this night. After this, we will have dinner, and you know, you will start paying off your debts. Tomorrow, you don¡¯t have much doing at home, so you can take your time working on it." Fu Hua said to her.


    Jia Li remains silent till they finished packing her box.


    "You haven¡¯t given me the flight ticket." She said in a reminder.


    Fu Hua nced at her and said, "You and your friends are not going with the airne, you four are flying in our family jet."


    "Oh!" Jia Li said.


    During dinner, Jasmine was acting like the considerate little child that she was. She has learned to put food on people¡¯s tes, and that¡¯s what she was doing for her great grandfather who looked amused at her cute actions.


    Now, everyone wanted Jasmine to put food on their tes, but grandfather Fu rebuked them.


    "You want Da Xia to feed grown-ups like you?" The old man asked while pointing his chopsticks at the people that were calling Jasmine and asking her to put food on their tes.


    "But grandfather, Jasmine put food on your te, were you not bothered when you are the oldest amongst us?" YingPei asked with a cunning gaze.


    Grandfather Fu responded immediately, "It¡¯s because I am the oldest that I am exempted. Only Jasmine and I should receive the highest preferential treatment because we are the youngest and the oldest in this family."


    "It seems like I have to return to my mother¡¯s womb and be born again," FangSu muttered under her breath.


    "Whose womb?" Fu Hee asked with a frown.


    FangSu didn¡¯t dare to say anything. It¡¯s not like she wanted to be scolded.


    Fu Hee rolled her eyes at her daughter before changing her facial expression when she turned to speak to Jia Li.


    "Jia Li, since you are still on a break, why don¡¯t you follow me out to see my friends 2 dayster? We are going to an Auction." Fu Hee suggested.


    She wanted to engage Jia Li in some activities that will make her not think much about what was happening around her.

 Chapter 612 - Rejection

    <h4>Chapter 612 ¨C Rejection</h4>


    There and then, Fu Hua announced that Jia Li was going on a vacation with her friends. Fu Hee and the others rxed as they believe that getting away for some fresh air, would help her to get a lot of things off her heart.


    After dinner, Jia Li and Fu Hua took Jasmine to her bedroom, and personally bath and dressed her up for the night.


    Jasmine was already sleepy when she finished bathing, but Jia Li and Fu Hua stayed with her and read a bedtime story to her, so she could fall into a deep sleep before they left.


    Now back to their bedroom, Jia Li went to have a shower, and Fu Hua joined her.


    "You, just keep your hands to yourself until we leave the bathroom." Jia Li said as she nced at his hands before looking up at his face, where a mischievous smile was sitting.


    "I¡¯m serious!" Jia Li said to him with a frown.


    "Why are you so scared? I will dly wait for you to finish showering." Fu Hua whispered and started washing his body. He was the first to leave the bathroom with a towel tied around his waist.


    "See you in a bit." He said before disappearing from her view.


    Jia Li heaved a sigh and continued to wash her body while thinking of whether to evade him this night or give in.


    Knowing that it¡¯s been a while since they were together that way, she was afraid he wouldvish her and wouldn¡¯t let go until she couldn¡¯t take it anymore.


    After showering, Jia Li wiped the water off her body, before using a bigger towel to wrap her entire body in it. And just as she stepped out to the bathroom, she saw Fu Hua standing there with his gaze on her.


    Immediately, she tried to get back into the bathroom but Fu Hua was faster than her. He pulled her arm, and shended in his arms.


    "Where do you think you¡¯re going to?" He asked in a teasing tone.


    "I... I forgot something in there, so I wanted to go get it quickly." Jia Li said as she met his gaze.


    Fu Hua¡¯s lips arched more as he said, "You remembered right after you saw me? That¡¯s hard for me to believe." As he finished saying that, he lifted her in his arms and carried her towards the bedroom.


    "Why are you not dressed yet?" Jia Li asked. For him to be waiting for her outside the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his, neck, she wondered if he was not afraid of catching a cold.


    Fu Hua¡¯s reply came immediately, "What¡¯s the point of wearing clothes when I will still take them off in a few minutes?"


    Jia Li could only hug his neck and stay obediently in his arms, as he carried her away after her failed attempt to escape from his ws.


    In the bedroom, Fu Hua ced her on the edge of the bed and went on to lose the towel around his waist, but Jia Li caught his hands.


    "What?" Fu Hua asked with a smirk.


    "Just take it easy." Jia Li said with her gaze on him.


    With a gentle gaze, Fu Hua replied, "I will be gentle." Right after saying it, he leaned in to kiss her lips softly, while cing his palms on her cheeks.


    Immersed in the kiss, Jia Li slowly released her hold on the towel around his waist, which slowly dropped to the floor.


    That night, Fu Hua made love to Jia Li in the most gentle way ever, because he wanted to take his time to clear her troubled thoughts by making her feel loved.


    He was so gentle and patient with her, that Jia Li couldn¡¯t help craving for more of his touch. As he caressed her body, she inched closer to him, wanting more.


    Deep into the night, the husband and the wife got together in different ways and only rxed in each other¡¯s arms when they were exhausted.


    The two didn¡¯t get to sleep immediately. As Jia Liy in his arms naked, they talked about their happy moments and their uing wedding anniversary.


    "Do you want anything special?" Fu Hua asked.


    "No, let¡¯s celebrate with the family on that day." Jia Li replied. She wanted something simple and for the family to join them on their joyous day, and Fu Hua agreed with her suggestion.


    The next day, FangSu and Fu Meixu got a call from their respective agents, telling them of a newpany that wants them to represent their products and help with the advertisement, plus being their brand ambassadors.


    Without knowing that the call they received was for the same purpose, they both left the house after breakfast.


    When FangSu heard from her agent that it was a newpany that would want her to help with the promotions from next month (September) she rejected without looking at the proposal.


    "I won¡¯t have time for that, and I¡¯m nning a big private birthday for October. I won¡¯t work for anypany or organization during this period until my birthday celebration is over. I already want to finish up the work I have in my schedule and get enough time for myself."


    "Susu, won¡¯t you reconsider this? Thispany is going to be huge. Also, they sent this proposal to your cousin, I¡¯m sure you wouldn¡¯t want to miss out on this." Her manager said as she tried to get her to change her mind.


    FangSu was not really in charge of her jobs, her manager helps her to choose, but it has to get her approval before herpany signs any deal, that was how big FangSu was in the modeling industry.


    When FangSu heard what her manager said, sheughed and replied, "My cousin is more difficult to please. She would never ept to work for any newpany unless she has a special rtionship with the owner. Meixu only works for big names."


    Just like FangSu said, Meixu would never work for any newpany that was just starting up because that was her standard unless she knew the owner and wants to do the job.

 Chapter 613 - Stuck Like A Gum

    <h4>Chapter 613 ¨C Stuck Like A Gum</h4>


    Fu Meixu who was sitting in her manager¡¯s office reading the contract Alix¡¯spany sent for her, found it interesting, but when she learned it was a newpany, she closed the contract and threw it on top of her manager¡¯s desk.


    "I¡¯m not doing it!" She said without a change of facial expression.


    "Why? I thought you liked it?" Her manager asked in surprise.


    Meixu nced at him and said, "I don¡¯t work for any newpany that doesn¡¯t have a foothold. Do you think I work for just anybody? Take a good look at me, do I look like those small celebrities that are looking for money and exposure?"


    Her manager sighed and said, "I know you don¡¯tck money or presence in the industry. But the benefits you will reap from thispany are massive!"


    Her manager tried to get her to see another picture, but she refused. She is never working for any namelesspany.


    "Tell them, that I don¡¯t work for any namelesspany. There are other models of their leagues that are more than willing to work for them, why are they trying to reach for something higher?" Meixu asked, she couldn¡¯t understand.


    "This newpany has lots of funds, and it looks like they want to enter the market which full force." Her manager replied.


    Fu Meixu rolled her eyes and said, "What are they rushing for? Shouldn¡¯t they focus on building themselves? What¡¯s the point of rushing into the market and going bankrupt after a few years?"


    Fu Meixu believed that building something takes time, and rushing will result in failure, and this is the more reason she will never ept this new cosmeticpany, LIXX.


    Being rejected by the Fu sisters, Alix was mad that she swept everything on her desk away. She was currently in her new office when the feedback was sent to her.


    She was angrier with Meixu¡¯s response than FangSu¡¯s rejection. FangSu said she was busy and couldn¡¯t do it, why Meixu said she will never work for a newpany that didn¡¯t have a foothold in the market.


    Meixu¡¯s statement was an insult to Alix because it sounded like she was belittling herpany.


    "Who is that brat to think she could look down on me?!" Alix asked angrily, but nobody dared to answer her.


    The people working closely with her for her new brand, all signed a contract with her, not to reveal her identity as the real owner of LIXX.


    The only reason they were working for her, was because of the pay. But for a month plus now, she was owed them, which was kind of normal, because all the funds were going into building the brand and product¡¯s image.


    Again, Alix¡¯s n failed, but she refused to let it go. She asked her representative who would appear in public as the owner of the brand, to take note of Meixu¡¯s response. She was going to use it against her.


    One dayter, Jia Li and her friends left for Miami on the private jet Fu Hua arranged for them. Jasmine didn¡¯t go to school on that day, because she had to send her mother off. Surprisingly, the little girl didn¡¯t cry much because her father was holding her in his arms.


    When Fu Hua asked her to wave to her mother, she refused and said she wanted to go with her.


    "You can¡¯t go with her, stay with daddy, and I will take you to a lot of fun ces. Tell your mummy everything you want her to get for you." Fu Hua said to the little girl softly.


    Jasmine was easily cajoled by her father. She listed several things she wanted her mother to get for her.


    Jia Li epted all her requests and waved to her after leaning in to kiss her forehead and cheeks. Atst, Jasmine waved to her, and to her three godmothers who were sad that she wasn¡¯ting with them.


    They thought it would have been fun if she came with them, but Fu Hua didn¡¯t want Jia Li to have an extra person to care for. He wanted her to have lots of time to herself.


    When the jet left, Jasmine hugged her father tightly and refused to go to anybody¡¯s arm.


    Fu Hua smiled as he patted her back infort. "Do you want Ice Cream?" He asked. Jasmine nodded in response and continued hugging his neck. Fu Hua kissed her hair before walking to the car with her.


    In the car, Jasmine refused to leave her father¡¯s embrace. She stuck to him like gum, even when they got to the ice cream store, she refused toe down. She stayed up there and pointed at the things she wanted to eat, including the ice cream vors she wanted.


    After cing her order, Fu Hua carried her and went to sit at an empty table, while waiting for one of the bodyguards to bring the order.


    The people in the store were surprised when they saw Fu Hua and the little bun, but they only recognized them after Fu Hua took off his sunsses.


    Immediately that happened, there were gasps of shocks from the rest of the customers, and some of them whipped out their phones to take pictures, but they were stopped by the people that cane with Fu Hua.


    Fu Hua didn¡¯t mind being recognized, but he didn¡¯t want that unnecessary attention and picture taking because of Jasmine who looked taken aback because of the sudden attention on them.


    "I just want to hang out with my daughter, if you can pretend to not see us, I will appreciate that a lot, thanks." Fu Hua said to them.


    Who dares to take photos of them or disturb them when he had already made a request nicely? If anyone dares to, the bodyguards would deal with them ASAP.


    When her order came, Fu Hua still had Jasmine on his thighs while she fed herself. The little girl would turn to feed him some of her snacks from time to time.


    From the corner of his eyes, Fu Hua saw one of the customers secretly clique pictures of Jasmine feeding him. He didn¡¯t say anything, but when his gaze met the customer, the customer became guilty and immediately put down his phone.


    A soldier was quick to see the interaction and wanted to go and snatch the phone from him, but Fu Hua stopped him.

 Chapter 614 - Jasmine In FJ

    <h4>Chapter 614 ¨C Jasmine In FJ</h4>


    Before Fu Hua could get back to the house with his little daughter, the photo from the restaurant was leaked on the inte, and everyone was talking about it.


    Did Fu Hua know the photo would be leaked? Of course, he knew it, and he silently permitted it. That¡¯s the reason he didn¡¯t let his bodyguard take the phone from that customer.


    How adorable did everyone see the little girl feeding her father ice cream? Very adorable! Everyone was talking about how cute and considers she was.


    A few people asked about Jia Li, while others asked Fu Hua how a grown-up like him could sit there and let his little daughter feed him.


    Fu Hua didn¡¯t have a habit of replying ormenting on photos of him posted by others if not a member of his immediate family. Still, that video went viral.


    There were so many views,ments, and shares on that video alone.


    "I want a daughter like Jasmine!"


    "That little girl is so cute, look at how healthy she is!"


    "Look at those brows, she seemed so serious giving her father some of her ice cream."


    "I wonder where Jia Li is, she is missing a lot."


    "Maybe this is an alone time for the father and daughter."


    Fu Hua saved the video and the photos of him and Jasmine at that ice cream and waited for the perfect opportunity to repost it.


    He that several hourster with the caption... "Wiping our tears after sending Mummy off. Princess, will Mummy miss us more than we will miss her?"


    Instantly, people began to specte that Jia Li must have traveled, and left the father and daughter.


    Others wondered how far away she was from them, and for how long will she be away.


    Fu Hua never answered anyments. His actions were intentional, and he also didn¡¯t tag Jia Li, because he didn¡¯t want her mind to be on social media and whatever was happening.


    He sent her on a vacation to explore, rx and enjoy.


    Alix is not happy to see those photos and videos, but she doesn¡¯t have the time to be too angry about it to the point of reacting, because she currently had her hands full with work.


    Just today, herpany started releasing ads for their new products, but it wasn¡¯t getting a lot of attention, which was not bad for a start.


    Promoting her Brand Image and products were very important for the new productunching, so she was putting all her energy into it. And as usual, her little son was abandoned.


    On getting to Miami, Jia Li and her friends were taken to the hotel where their two-bedroom room, was reserved.


    After freshening up, they had some food, and they rested before they were taken to some fun ces. Jia Li¡¯s friends who were getting ustomed to this lifestyle were excited and couldn¡¯t help taking so many pictures and videos of themselves and the serene.


    Jia Li didn¡¯t join them, because taking pictured will make her go online which didn¡¯t want to. But that wasn¡¯t a problem as her friends will still send the pictures and videos of their time spent in Miami, at the end of their vacation.


    The next day, Jia Li and her friendsnded on a cruise boat that Fu Hua had already arranged beforehand.


    There was a chef and a butler to cater for them while onboard. Not only that, some entertainment was prepared for them, so they wouldn¡¯t be bored from Noon till the morning of the next day.


    Jia Li was different from her friends in the case that she carried her sketchbook and a pencil for this trip. Fu Hua had mentioned to her aboutunching her clothing line in the second week of December, so she had to work when she was bored.


    Having fun all day was not her thing, so it was not a problem for her. But her friends thought she was going to be a workaholic.


    "You should take it easy on yourself, you came out to rx remember?" Daiyu said in concern.


    "I know, but I have to do this because I have a big surprise for myself and everyone." Jia Li said with a smile.


    Her three friends seemed very interested in the surprise and surrounded her immediately and began to ask so many questions.


    "Will there be another internalpetition?" Chang Chang asked.


    "Is there an Internationalpetition you want to join?" DanDan asked.


    Jia Li smiled and replied, "Don¡¯t ask me, I don¡¯t want to ruin my ns, just be patient. But just know that I will tell you about it before the whole worldes to know about it."


    "Unless so..." Her friends said with smiles on their faces, before leaving her to concentrate.


    The next day in Country C, Fu Hua went to pick his little daughter up from school. He wasn¡¯t through with his work, so he brought her straight to FJ after buying food for her from a famous restaurant for the wealthy.


    This was Jasmine¡¯s first time in FJ. The little girl held her Father¡¯s hand as they walked into the building, while Assistant Zimo followed behind them with the lunch.


    "Daddy, is this your workce?" Jasmine asked while looking around.


    Earlier, Fu Hua had told her that he was bringing her to his workce, and so when they arrived at FJ, she had to ask about it.


    "Yes, and Mummy works here too..." Fu Hua said with a smiling gaze at her.


    The little girl seemed excited as she followed her father into the private elevator, while a few of FJ¡¯s employees who saw them, had a hard time keeping their emotions in check.


    Who did they just see? Their Boss¡¯s daughter was in thepany, and those that hadn¡¯t had the opportunity to meet her in real life had the luck to catch a glimpse of her.


    When the trio got into the elevator, Fu Hua had to carry his little princess in his arms, while the little girl looked on in astonishment.


    Jasmine¡¯s first time experience in FJ was fun to her, and to all of FJ¡¯s staff who saw her, felt excited at seeing the famous adorable little girl.

 Chapter 615 - Face Time With Mummy

    <h4>Chapter 615 ¨C Face Time With Mummy</h4>


    Fu Hua took Jasmine to the Creative Arts department just to show her her mother¡¯s office, he even took her inside the little office and pointed at her mother¡¯s things.


    The little girl was more than happy to be in her mother¡¯s office. She even came down and ran around the little space. She almost caused trouble by touching a lot of things that her little hands could reach, but thankfully, Fu Hua was there to guide her.


    All of Jia Li¡¯s colleagues were surprised to see the little girl from a far distance. Since this was work hours, they couldn¡¯t leave their desks, so they could only watch with pouted lips.


    Sunny had to go meet Fu Hua since she came around her department, as the Chief Creative Director, she had to go meet him.


    Fu Hua didn¡¯t say much to her, he only asked how their current work was going, and then he asked Jasmine to wave at her, which the little girl did.


    Sunny smiled and waved back at the little girl before going on to ask Fu Hua when Jia Li would be back.


    "She will be at work on Tuesday." Fu Hua replied.


    Sunny nodded and only went back to her office when Fu Hua left.


    Fu Hua took the little girl straight to his office and then he let her run around while telling her to be careful not to fall and hurt herself.


    Jasmine did not give her father much headache from a different angle, but from Fu Hua¡¯s perspective, she was troublesome and couldn¡¯t stay at a ce.


    The only thing that made her keep calm, was even he called her toe over and eat, that was when she ran to his side to sit obediently.


    Fu Hua sighed in relief as he started to feed her. After lunch, Jasmine¡¯s troubles didn¡¯t end because she started crying for her school bag. And when Fu Hua asked for the reason, she said they were given homework at school.


    "Princess, we will do it together when we get home okay? Just wait for Daddy to finish signing these documents that need my approval okay?"


    Fu Hua was just wasting his saliva, because, after 2 minutes, Jasmine ran to his side and started to draw his hand.


    "Daddy, my school bag..." The little girl said with a big frown. Fu Hua couldn¡¯t get angry. He just smiled at the little girl that looked like her mother before picking up thendline and asking Zimo to get her backpack from the car.


    Jasmine¡¯s troubles did not end when her backpack was brought to her. She took out the colorful textbook from her backpack and took it to her father, asking him to help her to do her homework.


    Fu Hua turned to Zimo who was standing there and gave out amand, "Call YingPei, tell him he has a big work to do in my office, so he can close for the day."


    Zimo understood and left to deliver his message. He was lucky that Fu Hua didn¡¯t ask him to take care of the little girl¡¯s affairs, otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t know how to handle her.


    Zimo doesn¡¯t have any experience with children, so Fu Hua would never ask him to take care of his daughter


    When YingPei learned that Jasmine was in his brother¡¯s office, he immediately closed for the day and took his bag, and went straight to Fu Hua¡¯s office.


    On seeing the little girl¡¯s head from Fu Hua¡¯s desk, he hurriedly went to lift her.


    "Da Xia!" YingPei called out to her as he threw her up... Jasmine responded by giggling before hugging his neck when he stopped throwing her up.


    "Uncle!!!" The little girl greeted with a big smile on her face.


    "Da Xia this is your first time in FJ, what did you bring for me?" YingPei asked as he carried her to go sit on the couch.


    Jasmine turned her gaze towards her father and pointed at him while saying, "Daddy bought food."


    "Daddy bought food? Where is it?" YingPei asked with glistening eyes. Jasmine pointed at the table where the remaining food was kept.


    YingPei brought her down from his thighs and went on to unwrap the food while the little girl watched from the side.


    YingPei finished the remaining food while the little girl stood by the side and watched him. When he tried feeding her some, she refused, saying that her stomach was full.


    While eating the remaining food, YingPei yed with her to keep her distracted. It seems he was so smart to understand the reason he was called over in the first ce.


    After eating, YingPei continued to y with her, before going on to ask her so many questions to keep her busy.


    He started from how she spent her day in school, what she learned in school, the name of her friends, and all the activities she partook in school that day.


    Jasmine was happy to talk about them all, and she ended up leading the conversation to the point where YingPei wondered if little children liked to talk so much.


    Fortunately, Fu Hua was not distracted by their voices and he quickly finished his work as soon as he could, so he could send his little daughter back home.


    Once again while leaving FJ, some of the staff saw Fu Hua and the little bun. There were new rules for the employees not to take pictures while working, or inside the building in the ces prohibited.


    Fu Hua didn¡¯t want any pictures of their day¡¯s activity to appear on the inte, so he set the rule just for that day.


    So those talking about Jasmine¡¯s first appearance in FJ couldn¡¯t provide evidence like a photo to back it up, but some people still believed them.


    When Jasmine got home, she was well taken care of, she had her bath and got dressed in a set offy clothes.


    Fu Hua had to video call Jia Li when the little girl was asking to speak to her. It looks like the little girl who missed her mother greatly was not tired of talking. She talked a lot with her mother and told her about her experiences.


    She also said that.... "Daddy took me to FJ, I saw his office, and I saw yours too!"

 Chapter 616 - Approval Of The FJ Board Of Directors

    <h4>Chapter 616 ¨C Approval Of The FJ Board Of Directors</h4>


    "Your daddy took you to FJ?" Jia Li asked in surprise as she didn¡¯t expect Fu Hua to take her there.


    "Yes," Jasmine replied with a big smile. The little girl seems to recall her first experiences in FJ.


    Jia Li smiled and spoke more with her, even asking if she was given any homework. Jasmine nodded and said she has already done it.


    Towards the end of the conversation, Jasmine asked when she woulde back and she replied, "On Monday. I wille to pick you up from school."


    August was a month for long Vacation for pupils students of Junior and Senior High school, but Jasmine¡¯s school was different. They made a provision so that busy parents could have somewhere to keep their children, and that was optional.


    The only difference was that the school starts at 9 am and ends by 12 pm ¨C 1 pm.


    During the weekend, Fu Hua took care of his daughter and spent a lot of time with her since her mother was absent. He also didn¡¯t forget to finish Jia Li¡¯s proposal, and now had to edit for Monday to reach, so he could present it to the board of directors and get their approval.


    Not only was Fu Hua doing these two tasks, but there was also another major task he was handling, and that was the investigation on Feng Alix and herwyer lover, Carlos.


    The deeper the investigation went, the more secrets he found out, and the more he had to continue because he was after closing her chapter and frustrating her ns.


    On Sunday evening, Fu Hua came to find out about Alix being the owner of LIXX that would officiallyunch their cosmetic products in a week.


    He also came to know from the investigations that Alix was hiding her identity and didn¡¯t want anybody to know her rtionship with the newpany and for reason, Fu Hua was well aware of that.


    The first secret he found out about Alix was that she dated Carlos before, she met her husband, and that Carlos was still working for the Suarez family.


    With the kind of rtionship they (Alix and Carlos) had in the past, and knowing fully well what LIXX was capable of doing with her current lifestyle, Fu Hua refused to believe that she didn¡¯t have any absurd rtionship going with Carlos, and he decided to continue investigating it.


    The result for that may take time, but he didn¡¯t have to wait for it when he could start frustrating her with the little ones he had of her.


    Now that Fu Hua had gotten a hold of the evidence of Alix being the owner of LIXX, he was going to give her a good surprise at the right time.


    The next day being Monday, Fu Hua personally got his little princess ready for school. He fed her during breakfast before dropping her off at school.


    Fu Hua kissed the little girl¡¯s cheeks before handing her over to her teacher and leaving. Jasmine waved to her father will he was out of sight.


    The board of directors meeting being held at FJ by 10 AM, was organized by Fu Hua to talk about some important matters of thepany, and also Jia Li¡¯s proposal.


    No board of directors did not know Jia Li, because before they knew her as Fu Hua¡¯s wife, she was a promising designer to them, who they had wanted to scout immediately after her graduation.


    With a lot of things being considered now, including her poprity, creativity, and stronghold, she was being considered. But there was a male director who posed one question.


    "Can her brand survive the turbulent period?"


    Fu Hua faced the director and replied as FJ¡¯s Boss and not as Jia Li¡¯s husband, "It will depend on her capabilities and FJ¡¯s support system."


    Fu Hua¡¯s reply really surprised them all, because he was not being emotional, but was taking decisions in the rational sense.


    He didn¡¯t try to pet her, as he understood the principles of the business world, and this was the reason they trusted him.


    "Any more questions?" Fu Hua asked as he nced at each of the directors with a calm gaze. He didn¡¯t look offended in any way.


    There were no more questions poised concerning Jia Li having her own brand and coborating with FJ, so the deal was signed.


    After the meeting with the board of directors, Fu Hua met with the heads of departments and briefed them about Jia Li¡¯s new ns, so thru could get ready to support her when shees back.


    Sunny was surprised that Jia Li would start her brand soon, even though she has always known that she was capable of that task. What she was surprised about that, was the time she wanted tounch. She didn¡¯t think it was advisable if she was not ready.


    But somewhere in her heart, a part of her told her that She could do it, and if she was Jia Li¡¯s big boss, she would make sure she achieves the goal set for her.


    Now that the leaders of FJ were aware and approved of Jia Li¡¯s new brand and were out to support her, what remains was for Jia Li toe back andmence with her ns and work.


    Like Jia Li said to her little daughter, she would be back on Monday, and she made sure toe back on time today, so she could make it to pick her up from school.


    When Jia Li came back and immediately wanted to go and pick the little girl up from school, Fu Hee was worried and asked her to rest after the long flight, while another person goes to pick her up, but Jia Li refuted her words.


    "Mum, I promised Jasmine to pick her up from school today, so I can¡¯t go back on my words. That will make me a liar if I don¡¯t go, and I can¡¯t teach her that."


    Since Jia Li has said it this way, how could Fu Hee stop her? Fu Hee could only pat her back and ask her to go.


    "Thank you, Mum!" Jia Li said with a smile before turning to leave.

 Chapter 617 - Missed Her Mummy

    <h4>Chapter 617 ¨C Missed Her Mummy</h4>


    Jia Li who was looking more fresh and rxed from the vacation, couldn¡¯t help but think of how her little girl would react to seeing her.


    Jia Li looked so much better after taking a few days¡¯ rests. Not just that, she looked ready to immerse herself in work.


    On getting to Jasmine¡¯s school, there was a few minutes left for the ss dismissal, so she waited in the car, and just then, Fu Hua¡¯s call came in.


    A big smile appeared on Jia Li¡¯s face when she saw he was calling her on a video call. She guessed that he must have known she was back already and was calling to scold her for not letting him know.


    Without wasting time, Jia Li picked up the call.


    "Sweetheart, why didn¡¯t you tell me you were back?" Fu Hua asked with a smile.


    "I thought you would be busy with work, so I wanted you toe back and see me. Remember, I told you about it yesterday." Jia Li said to him.


    "Yes you did, but your parking husband has been very busy at work since today. Maybe a little reminder would have helped." Fu Hua said.


    Jia Li chuckled and said, "I¡¯m sorry, I almost forgot about you, I was only aftering to pick Jasmine up from school because I promised her that."


    Fu Hua said immediately, "How can you only remember your daughter and forget me? Have you forgotten how you conceived her, do you need a reminder?"


    His words caused her to chuckle so hard that tears were beginning to trick out from the corner of her eyes. Fu Hua was infected with herughter and joined her with a chuckle.


    "See how beautiful you are looking after a few days of staying away from me. Is it that I¡¯m causing you trouble?" Fu Hua teased.


    "No..." Jia Li said with a smile and continued, "I was losing my mind because of a troubling situation and saved me from wallowing in grief, I owe you a big thanks."


    "So does that mean I¡¯m getting a sumptuous dinner tonight?" Fu Hua teased with a big smile on his face.


    Jia Li knew the secret meaning of his words andughed uncontrobly. "There will be no opportunity for that tonight. I missed you and our daughter, so I want us to spend the night together in one big bed."


    "Alright then, you will owe me one." Fu Hua said while staring at her with those deep seductive eyes of his.


    "No, let me make it up to you by taking you out for dinner." Jia Li suggested. She thought that going out at night and treating him to a fancy dinner wouldn¡¯t be back."


    Fu Hua gazed at her with an unsatisfied gaze without saying anything. He asked for something else, and she wanted to rece it with another thing. Jia Li immediately cated him while smiling...


    "I want to spend on you just like you did for me. I would have loved to cook personally for you, but I feel that everyone in the family will think you¡¯re bullying me aftering back from a trip." Jia Li said.


    Jia Li was right. She has juste back from a vacation and a long trip, and she needed to rest. If she were to enter the kitchen now to cook for Fu Hua, he would end up being scolded by the elders, and she didn¡¯t want it.


    On other days, Jia Li could be free to make use of the kitchen, but for now, she can¡¯t.


    Fu Hua understood her and smiled while saying, "I was only teasing you, I can have that kind of dinner any other time. Also, I have missed your cooking. I would love to taste your food soon."


    "Sure, I will cook for you soon." Jia Li said with a smile.


    Before they could continue with their conversation, the school bell rang. Jia Li became a little distracted and nced out through the car¡¯s window.


    "Darling, I will see you at home, I have to pick up Jasmine." Jia Li said as she returned her gaze to him.


    "Sure, go ahead. See you soon, I love you." Fu Hua said and blew kisses to her. Jia Li did the same before ending the call.


    Jia Li did note to Jasmine¡¯s school alone, and she didn¡¯t drive herself either. She just came back from a long trip, nobody in the Fu family will let her drive herself.


    Jia Li came with a driver who drove her down there and also a bodyguard.


    A few momentster, Jia Li was already standing outside and editing for Jasmine to be brought by her teacher.


    Jia Li was even a little bit distracted with her phone, and only tame back to reality when she heard her little girl¡¯s excited voice calling out to her.


    Jasmine walked out of the building with her teacher holding her hand when she saw the familiar figure of her mother. A big smile spread across her smooth face as she immediately let go of her teacher¡¯s hand and ran towards her mother while calling out to her...


    "Mummy!!!"


    Jia Li was so full of joy and impatience that she didn¡¯t wait for her little girl toe to her side, before rushing forward and meeting her midway.


    With joyfulughter never ceasing from their lips, the mother and daughter embraced each other.


    Jasmine even said that she missed her as she higher her tightly after she (Jia Li) lifted her in her arms.


    "I missed you too baby." Jia Li said as she embraced her tightly.


    The other parents who came to pick up their children watched them from the side with different thoughts goings-on in their heads.


    Some of them knew the reason for that scene and only confirmed it after they saw that scene. Jia Li indeed has been away for some days.


    Finally, the mother and daughter got into the car, and they couldn¡¯t stop talking to each other until they got back home.


    "Mummy, did you get anything for me?" Jasmine asked as their car came to halt in front of the Fu Mansion.


    Jia Li chuckled softly and replied, "Of course, I got you so many goodies!!!"

 Chapter 618 - LIXXs Wicked Plans

    <h4>Chapter 618 ¨C LIXX¡¯s Wicked ns</h4>


    Jasmine was instantly satisfied the moment her mother said she got something for her, and Jia Li couldn¡¯t stopughing while watching her excited little one.


    By the time Fu Hua hade back, Jasmine had already eaten a lot of goodies, and her little mouth was still not tired.


    At night the family of three spent the night together just like Jia Li wanted. Jasmine stayed in her mother¡¯s bosom, and so Fu Hua didn¡¯t even get to hug his wife.


    "It looks like she did miss you a lot." Fu Hua said in a low tone with his gaze on his little girl who was sleeping calmly.


    ncing at Jasmine who was holding her clothing, Jia Li smiled before looking up and saying to him, "She is still a baby and she missed me this much, even holding unto my clothing so I wouldn¡¯t leave. Nowing to you an adult, you also miss me as much as Jasmine right?"


    "Why not? I think I missed you more. The reason I¡¯m being so calm is that I have more tolerance and patience than that little girl." Fu Hua pointed out.


    Jia Li chuckled heartily while being careful not to wake the sleeping girlying on her chest.


    Even with Jasmine sleeping in their midst, Jia Li and Fu Hua didn¡¯t fail to chat harmoniously until they decided to sleep.


    "Are you sure you don¡¯t need a day off to get over your jetg?" Fu Hua asked.


    "No, I¡¯m fine, I feel so energetic and ready to do some useful work." Jia Li said with a beautiful smile on her face.


    Fu Hua¡¯s lips arched and formed a brilliant smile. "That¡¯s okay. The board of directors approved you working with FJ, and I have already hosted the first meeting with the heads of department to create awareness, so all that is left is for you to share your ns with them so that work canmence immediately."


    "Thank you for making this work for me." Jia Li said with a grateful smile as she stretched out her hand to him.


    Fu Hua squeezed her palm, looked her in the eye gently, and said, "You did for yourself, I only helped to project your ns. You have long won over a ce in our hearts with your creativity before you joined us."


    Jia Li felt proud of herself. Now, she can proudly put her head up high, because Fu Hua didn¡¯t buy a ce for her, she earned it herself.


    The next day, Jia Li returned to work and shared some of the choctes and little souvenirs she bought for her coworkers and direct bosses, which made them happy.


    Jia Li spent a little more time in Sunny¡¯s office as they talked about her concept for her brand.


    On Wednesday, LIXX ¡¯owner¡¯ epted an interview from a popr interviewer, to which Alix instructed to.


    From the first day, LIXX started creating an awareness till today, their promotion and attention had showed immense growth. This was not hard since Alix has not been sleeping on it. She was using all her resources to make her brand popr.


    She made sure to buy enough billboards for advertisement and screen time on TV, even the radio was not left out.


    Also on social media, she bought some ads for promoting her products. Plus the influencers that were paid to help promote her products. She has really spent a lot of money, now, she could sit and fold her arms while everyone anticipated her productunching date which was this week¡¯s Saturday evening.


    Since gaining awareness and a little poprity, a few people have tried to get LIXX¡¯s owner to grace their shows and interview before their productunching.


    Alix didn¡¯t want to make herpany toomon by epting just anybody, so she only asked her representative to ept the one she picked for her.


    "... after our productunching, we will ept more interviews," Alix said.


    Something happened during the interview. LIXX ¡¯owner¡¯ who was set up by Alix followed all of Alix¡¯s instructions during the interview.


    When asked if it was difficult to reach the number of audience for their new product promotion, she said yes.


    Next, the interviewer asked her to share some of the difficulties theirpany faced to get that done.


    "It has been a difficult journey even though we had the money. But being a newpany, we were bound to go through a difficult path before we can enter the market. We sent out invitations to the famous Fu sisters to be our brand ambassador, but we were turned down."


    "You were turned down?" The interviewer asked.


    "Yes," The woman replied.


    The interview asked for the details. "Can you tell why you were turned down?"


    "Sure..." The woman replied with a slight smile. Why wouldn¡¯t she agree to tell what happened, when it was what Alix wanted to be shared? This was one of their goals for epting this interview.


    "Miss Fu FangSu said she had a tight schedule and wasn¡¯t going to ept any more work. We absolutely had no problem with her, because it was her choice to take a break and not ept any work, but what was disturbing and insulting, was Miss Fu Meixu¡¯s response to us. She said she would not ept to work for anypany that has no foothold in the market."


    The interviewer looked surprised as he asked, "Are you sure about that? Wasn¡¯t her agency supposed to be the one to give you a response?"


    The woman smiled and said, "The representative we sent to her agency brought back the news. Her manager had reported her response to the agency director while she was still in his office."


    "So, you representative was present?" The interviewer asked.


    "Yes, she was. We were hurt by her response, and also her agency¡¯s response after that. The director gave us a reply saying that truly, Miss Fu Meixu was so high fetched for us to use her for our ads and rmended their rising models to us."


    "Her agency said that?" The interviewer asked.


    "Yes.. I think he was trying to smoother things after her rude rejection, but he made matters worse."

 Chapter 619 - Using And Ruining

    <h4>Chapter 619 ¨C Using And Ruining</h4>


    "Why were you hurt by her rejection? You were not expecting to be rejected because of the money you had?" The interviewer asked.


    "No, not that. We felt bad because of the new businesses that must have been insulted in that way. New business rises every time because of the hard work put into it, so it¡¯s wrong for someone to get up and talk down on them simply because the business is new, and because she has influence."


    LIXX representative used that opportunity to say whatever bad things against Fu Meixu¡¯s response to them, in other to ruin her image and make her the target of cyberbullying.


    This interview was done in the morning, but the evening of the same day, the part where Fu Meixu was talked about, was already trending with the captions...


    ¡¯Meixu insults new businesses¡¯


    "Meixu doesn¡¯t ept to promote new businesses."


    There were so many more damaging captions attached to the video, and immediately, people started talking.


    Many people were annoyed with Fu Meixu¡¯sment saying that if she didn¡¯t want to coborate with any new business, she should have rejected it outright, instead of talking bad about them.


    Others said she must be feeling proud of herself because of the wealthy family she came from, and also her status as an A-list celebrity in the country.


    Everyone had their opinion concerning Fu Meixu¡¯s response.


    It was only a few people who found something wrong with what was happening and even mentioned it.


    "Why do I feel like this newpany is using Fu Meixu to trend and create awareness for their products?"


    "I also feel the same way, because this interview has made them more popr, and made so many people pay attention to them."


    No matter if they were right, it didn¡¯t matter because many people were already following the trend Alix nned.


    When Meixu saw what was going on, she was so pissed and very angry. When she went to herpany to ask them to settle the matter immediately, their thoughts aligned with the few people who found something to be wrong with that interview.


    "These shameless people have a bad motive. They are using my name to draw attention and indirectly promote their business!" Meixu said angrily.


    "We also think the same, and the inte is on fire because of it, we can¡¯t do much now other than to prepare for awsuit against them. You have to go back home, don¡¯t respond orment on that post, you have to be quiet and wait for us to contact you."


    Not long after reporters surrounded the building her agency was located in, so she couldn¡¯t get out, but fortunately, someone came to her rescue.


    Shi Qiao approached her agency and took her out through another entrance. Now in his car, Meixu couldn¡¯t stop speaking angrily about LIXX.


    "Are these people crazy for using me and trying to ruin my image at the same time? They have really messed with the wrong person!"


    Shi Qiao advised her with a frown, "Meixu, I know you are angry about the whole situation, but you have to listen to your agency¡¯s director. You can¡¯t do anything, or it will backfire on you, allow them to handle LIXX."


    "If I don¡¯t do anything, the matter will be worse because staying silent means I¡¯m admitting it, and that will ruin my image further, and also help them to promote their products. See, they are going tounch their products in the next 48 hours!" Meixu said angrily.


    She was so pissed off by the situation. Had it been they were only trying to ruin her image, it would not have been difficult for her to endure it, but using her name to promote their products andpany image, while also trying to ruin her image was something she couldn¡¯t ept.


    They were stepping on her real hard that she wanted to retaliate so badly.


    "I¡¯m sure your agency will take care of it before the matter esctes. Better still, your family will take care of it, have you forgotten how influential your family is?" Shi Qiao said as he tries to give her hope for redemption.


    Fu Meixu thought of something and said, "That¡¯s right, I will call my cousin immediately, I just hope he wouldn¡¯t think I deserve this trouble that came upon me."


    As Meixu said that, she quickly whipped out her phone from her handbag, and just then, Fu Hua had seen the mess on the inte, was calling her.


    "It¡¯s my cousin!" Meixu said with a little hope in her tone and went ahead to answer the call, as believed her cousin would save her once he stepped into the matter.


    "Brother Hua?" Meixu greeted before Fu Hua could say anything.


    Fu Hua replied in a calm tone, "I see LIXX attacking you, don¡¯t do anything about it, juste home. If you are stuck somewhere, give me your location, I wille to pick you up myself."


    Fu Meixu was so touched by her cousin¡¯s gesture that she immediately became teary. This was the first time, Fu Hua was being this kind to her. He could have asked someone toe to pick her up, but he wanted to pick her up personally, that was the kindest gesture exhibited by him to her.


    The reason Fu Hua was getting involved personally, was because he knew the person behind LIXX and because he has been quiet about it, Alix now thought she could create an opportunity and extort any member of his family, that was not going to happen.


    "A friend picked me up, and I am on my way home." Fu Meixu replied in a soft tone.


    "That¡¯s fine. LIXX is looking for attention, allow them to get it, it¡¯s even better this way, so I can give them a fatal blow. I promise, you only have to endure this for 30 hours." Fu Hua assured her.


    Fu Meixu nodded and thanked him.


    "I have also spoken to your agency, they can go ahead and prepare thewsuit, immediately I start dealing with LIXX, they can go ahead and file thewsuit."

 Chapter 620 - The Fu Familys Anger

    <h4>Chapter 620 ¨C The Fu Family¡¯s Anger</h4>


    After speaking with Meixu, Fu Hua phoned the person with the evidence he needed to deal with Alix and asked him to release it to the press after 48 hours.


    Fu Hua chose that time to deal with Alix because it would be a few hours to herpany and product lunch, a time toote for her to do anything.


    Shi Qiao drove Meixu straight to the Fu residence, and before she got off the car, heforted her one more time and told her that he would help to deal with LIXX as soon as Fu Hua stepped.


    Meixu who was usually indifferent to him nodded and even thanked him for the ride before stepping out of the car. Shi Qiao smiled and waved at her before driving away.


    On stepping into the house, Meixu could hear her mother speaking angrily.


    "How can a mere newpany bully our family. Now everyone is saying the Fu family is arrogant and doesn¡¯t know how to raise children!"


    "ChunHua you have to bring down the tone of your voice, there is a child in this house. We are all waiting for Hua toe back so we can discuss how to settle this matter." Fu Hee said with a frown.


    She too was displeased with what was going on in the media. Anything that affects any member of the family, will always have an impact on all of them.


    Just then, Meixu walked in and Fu ChunHua rushed to her side to check if she was hurt. "Are you okay? I heard those reporters surrounded your work building."


    "Mum, I¡¯m fine!" Meixu said as she let go of her hand before greeting Fu Hee.


    "Meixu don¡¯t worry, Hua will settle this once hees back." Fu Hee assured her.


    Meixu replied in a rxed tone, "I know Aunty, cousin called me and said he would take care of the matter, that I only needed to buy him a little time."


    "How?" Fu ChunHua asked with a frown, as she didn¡¯t understand how her daughter would buy him time to settle the matter.


    "It means, I shouldn¡¯t respond to the conflict," Meixu exined, but Fu ChunHua was still worried if it will work. She also knew that keeping quiet will make matters worse.


    "Since my son has said so, he surely knows what he is doing." Fu Hee said from the side, and almost immediately, they all heard FangSu grumbling as she made her way into the house.


    "These reporters are really crazy?!" FangSu said furiously.


    She was at the mall when reporters rushed out of nowhere and surrounded her, asking her crazy questions.


    "Miss Fu, is it true that your Fu family is arrogant?"


    "Do you people not support new businesses?"


    "Why would your cousin speak like that?


    "Do you also think that new businesses shouldn¡¯t be supported?"


    "What was your real reason for rejecting LIXX?"


    "Do you support what your cousin, Meixu said about new businesses?"


    FangSu was lucky to escape from them because of the mall¡¯s security who came to help her, and since then, she has been pissed off.


    Seeing how angry she was, Fu Hee check up on her, to make sure she was not hurt after revealing her experiences at the mall.


    "Do these reporters not have anything better to do?" Fu ChunHua asked.


    "Their job is to sneak around looking for some gossips to publish." Fu Hee replied, before asking everyone to follow her to the spacious living room.


    Not long after, Fu Hua returned with Jia Li. They first showered and changed intofy clothes beforeing to the living room for the brief meeting that was set because of Meixu¡¯s thrashing on the inte.


    "Hua, you have seen what is going on, have you thought of a way to take care of the matter, is there anything we can do to help?" Grandfather Fu asked as the others listened


    Fu Hua nced at Jia Li who was sitting beside him before ncing back to his grandfather. His reason for looking at her first is because he was about to reveal something he hasn¡¯t told her since.


    "I know who the real owner of LIXX is." Fu Hus said.


    "How do you mean?" Fu Ling asked.


    "The person that did that interview is not the owner of LIXX?" FangSu asked in surprise. Not just FangSu, the other family members were surprised as well.


    "The real owner is the same person that instigated the reporters to interview Mu Keer." Fu Hua revealed after a pause.


    "What? she is the same person?" Fu Ling said angrily because he knows who Fu Hua was talking about.


    "It looks like this person is after our family..." Fu Hee said with a sigh.


    "Hua, what did you say her name was again?" Fu Geming asked with furrowed brows.


    There was a moment of silence before Fu Hua responded to that question. He dyed because of Jia Li as he wasn¡¯t sure of how she would feel that he didn¡¯t tell her about an important matter.


    "Feng Alix."


    When Fu Hua mentioned that name, there was a long silence. Jia Li was shocked to the core, FangSu and Meixu were surprised. YingPei and Ling sighed.


    Fu Hua nced at Jia Li and squeezed her hand. "I¡¯m sorry," He whispered with guilt. Jia Li did not say anything, and she also didn¡¯t take off his hand. She let him hold her while thinking about Alix.


    "Fu Hua, is she not that same woman that dragged you into a scandal a few weeks after you and Jia Li got married?" Fu Hee questioned, her tone filled with deep annoyance.


    "She is the same person." Fu Ling replied with an ugly facial expression.


    "How can that woman have the nerve to find trouble with our family after the lesson you thought her back then, was it not enough?" Fu ChunHua asked as she directed an annoyed gaze at Fu Hua.


    What was hurting her more, was the fact that Alix keeps attacking their family and going free.. She saw Alix as an ordinary shameless woman who got a little power because of the man she married, but still, it was not enough to give her the guts to find trouble with their family."

 Chapter 621 - Plans For Feng Alix

    621 ns for Feng Alix


    Grandfather Fu nced at Fu Hua and said, "Hua, you told us you were going to deal with this matter, why is it taking so long?."


    "Grandfather, the matter is under my control. I found evidence that she is the owner of LIXX the newpany that is nning to lunch their products this Saturday, and that is the reason I haven''t dealt with her yet. I was patiently waiting for the right moment, it is here now." Fu Hua said.


    Fu Geming asked, "How is this the right time? If you had dealt with her since she wouldn''t have the guts to y with us now."


    "Uncle, believe me when I say that this is the right time. I didn''t want to give her a chance for aeback, and that is why I dyed dealing with her. It will be more painful for her if I deal with her now than before." Fu Hua exined.


    "What''s the difference?" FangSu asked.


    "Feng Alix isunching herpany products this Saturday, and nobody knows that she is the owner because of the bad reputation she has, and that is the reason she is hiding her identity. What do you think will happen if I expose her on Friday night?" Fu Hua asked.


    There was no need to think too much of the disaster it will cause herpany. When her identity as the owner of LIXX is found out, everybody will know that she used Meixu to hype and promote herpany, plus thewsuit that will be filed against herpany.


    Also, who will like to patronize her after all these? Who will she sell her products to? Who will attend theunching of her products? Absolutely, nobody will.


    Everyone came to understand why Fu Hua hadn''t dealt with Alix since he was waiting for the perfect time to sentence her to hell.


    Grandfather Fu was not amazed. He hardened his gaze and asked Fu Hu, "Is that all the ns you have for her?"


    Everyone nced between the old man, and Fu Hua, waiting to hear his response.


    Fu Hua replied immediately while still hiding Jia Li''s hands, "No grandfather. I found out that she has an abnormal rtionship with herwyer, who is also her husband''swyer. I have a few pieces of evidence to prove her act of adultery, but there is something else I''m still investigating."


    "So, what do you n to do about it?" Fu Lei asked as the others paid attention.


    "After I expose Feng Alix as the owner of LIXX and make her bankrupt, I will expose her for her adultery. I will send the pieces of evidence to her husband, and to the press, this will ruin herpletely. Not forgetting thewsuit she is going to face from Meixu''spany." Fu Hua said.


    Fu Hua had everything all nned out, because he was done taking enough of Alix''s nonsense, and he nned to drive her to her death after ruining her. He was not going to give her any chance for redemption.


    his ex was the one behind her Aunt''s interview.


    09:08


    Jia Li nned to questions him once they got to their bedroom after dinner.


    "You have a good n here. Do you need help with the other investigation you are doing? I will send a troupe for it." Fu Lei asked.


    He was ready to do whatever it takes to get rid of Alix as soon as possible.


    "No father, I''m almost there. I just need a week and I will get hold of the other evidence." Fu Hua replied.


    Everybody sighed in relief, including Jia Li who was a little unhappy about Fu Hua not telling her that his ex was the one behind her Aunt''s interview.


    Jia Li nned to questions him once they got to their bedroom after dinner.


    Grandfather Fu seemed to be the only one not pleased and satisfied with Fu Hua''s ns.


    "I will contact the Huang family, Alix must be banned from this country, and driven away never toe back."


    After saying that, Grandfather Fu got up from his seat and left for the dining room.


    He spoke in such a way that his words can not be refuted. By the way, who would not want Alix to be driven out of Country C? The entire Fu family would even want her killed her remains buried in another strangend.


    Fu Lei asked everyone to go over to the dining room to have their dinner, afterforting Meixu and asking her to stay out for just 48 more hours.


    "This is a great I justice being done against you, but I have to ask you to endure just for 2 days, and everything will be settled."


    "Thank you, Uncle," Meixu said with a smile.


    This was the first time she was smiling since she stepped her feet back home.


    The Fu family ate to their satisfaction after the assurance have been given to end Alix''s case.


    Now back to their bedroom, Fu Hua did not wait for Jia Li to speak, he immediately went to her side and took her hand.


    Gazing at her with an apologetic look, he said, "Sweetheart, I''m very sorry for not mentioning this to you. I was guilty because the woman that tried to ruin you, came from my past. I didn''t dare to tell you about her because I was afraid you would me me."


    "Why would I me you?" Jia Li asked, and he replied immediately, "Because I had something to do with her before meeting you, and now, she turned back and tried to harm you."


    Jia Li heaved a sigh and said to him, "I would never me you for that. You her before you me, and you two were together before I came into the picture. You didn''t cheat on me with her, so I would never me you. I am only unhappy that you didn''t tell me about a serious matter like this."


    The only reason Jia Li was unhappy with him, was because he didn''t tell her that Alix was the one causing all thismotion, and it make it look like he was protecting her.


    Jia Li told Fu Hua what she thought, and he apologized again.


    "Sweetheart, I''m very sorry, and I promise not to hide anything from you unless it''s a surprise. Don''t worry, I will remove that woman from the face of this earth so you can set your heart at ease."

 Chapter 622 - Alix And LIXX In Trouble

    <h4>Chapter 622 ¨C Alix And LIXX In Trouble</h4>


    Did Jia Li forgive Fu Hua? Yes, she did.


    Alix has been very happy about the oue of her strategy and even paid for the news to continue trending because of the boost it gave herpany.


    Most people wanted to know about LIXX, so they visited their website, and those who had money ced a preorder.


    Alix was drinking a ss of wine while watching herpany¡¯s data statistics go up. When Carlos walked in, he saw herughing to herself.


    "Are you happy with themotion you are causing online?" Carlos asked with furrowed brows as he found a ce to sit.


    "Why won¡¯t I be happy? I worked hard for this." Alix replied in a low chuckle.


    "Do you think this is funny? You are messing with the Fu family, and do you think they will let you off, especially Fu Hua?" Carlos reminded, in case she had forgotten the family she was messing with.


    Alix slowly ced her wine ss on the stool and replied, "So what if I¡¯m messing with the Fu family? it¡¯s not like they would know I¡¯m the owner of LIXX, they can only try to fight mypany, but that will be toote because after weunch on Saturday, they can stop me that easily."


    Seeing that confident smile on her face, Carlos asked, "Does it look to you that Mr. Fu would never find out that you are the owner of LIXX with all his capabilities?"


    "I know he would, but not until I get a foothold in the market, then the impact of whatever he wanted to do, won¡¯t be much," Alix said.


    As Carlos looked at her, he could only see her twisted and failed mindset. He saw that she was too blinded by greed and revenge to see the bigger picture.


    ¡¯Mr. Fu is capable of destroying any foothold you gain in the business world no matter how long you¡¯ve been there.¡¯ Carlos asked.


    "Alix, you really need to know when to stop because you are going too far. You can¡¯t fight the Fu family and you can¡¯t listen. Have you thought of what would happen if your identity as the owner of LIXX is revealed at this moment? You will lose everything!" Carlos warned


    Alixughed out loud and said, "You are saying like a chicken! If you are not strong enough, just leave my way, I can handle everything now!"


    "Fine! Since you don¡¯t want to listen, I can see you¡¯re better off without me. I¡¯m booking a flight back to my home right away!" Carlos said as he got to his feet, turned, and walked away.


    Alix was unmoved. She thought that if he wanted to leave, he could. He was not the onlywyer in this world, neither was he the only boy toy she could get.


    When Carlos stepped into his apartment next door, he began to think of how to leave China, because he could see Alix digging her grace, and he didn¡¯t want to fall in with her.


    With that, Carlos booked a flight that was scheduled for Saturday at 6:30 AM, back home. If he stays here and Alix gets into trouble, it¡¯s either he will get into trouble with her, or he will be forced to help her clean the mess.


    If there would be a mess to clean, he didn¡¯t think he could clean it, and getting into trouble with her, that was thest thing on his mind. He has to leave, as that will be the only way for him to still have a future.


    After booking his flight, Carlos picked up his phone and called Mr. Suarez.


    "Mr. Suarez, I¡¯m done with my work here, and your wife doesn¡¯t need me anymore, so I have booked a flight for Saturday," Carlos said to Mr. Suarez.


    "I was about calling you now. Why are you not doing anything about the trouble LIXX is about to get into? Promoting thepany and products in that way will only cause a big problem, and it may backfire." Mr. Suarez said.


    He has just seen the interview because he was following up on everything about LIXX to make sure it is a sess.


    Carlos exined that Alix wasn¡¯t listening to him, so he has left her to deal with herpany as she deemed fit.


    Mr. Suarez sighed and disconnected the call. He called Alix immediately because of the video that was trending and tried talking her out of it.


    He asked her to take the video down when if she didn¡¯t want to apologize but she refused and insisted that it stays there for two more days, saying that it has helped to generate traffic on her business page and website, plus the orders she was getting.


    Since he can¡¯t convince her to do the right thing, Mr. Suarez told her that he won¡¯t help her business if anything should go wrong again, which she agreed to.


    After the call with Mr. Suarez, Carlos started to pack his things, while nning to go out the next day to settle any pending ns he has ongoing.


    48 hours just like Fu Hua promised, all the pieces of evidence needed to prove and support Alix being the owner of LIXX, surfaced online. But there was something about it, the post didn¡¯t get immediate attention because it was released at night when most people were already sleeping.


    The people online saw the thread, ¡¯Alix is the owner of LIXX¡¯ and clicked on it, then all pieces of evidence to prove it was attached to the statement.


    Immediately, keyboard warriors began toment and repost that thread, to make it go viral. Unfortunately, much attention was not on it, because most people were either sleeping, partying, or too busy to check online.


    Some people didn¡¯t care what time it was and immediately woke their friends and family members up with phone calls because of the new thread.


    All through the night, some people couldn¡¯t sleep because they were talking about Alix being the owner.


    Some people still couldn¡¯t believe it, until they saw the evidence that proved her being the owner of LIXX.. From there, many people started talking about the possibility of her using Meixu to promote her business after tarnishing her reputation.

 Chapter 623 - Carlos Abandons Alix And LIXX

    <h4>Chapter 623 ¨C Carlos Abandons Alix And LIXX</h4>


    99.9% of the people knew that Feng Alix was an enemy to the Fu family and her trying to tarnish Fu Meixu¡¯s image couldn¡¯t be removed out of the context, although the Fu family were yet to react, so as Fu Meixu and her agency.


    So many people who had seen the news at night were already cursing Alix and those who ced an order were asking for refunds, which they would never get because LIXX has a non-refund policy after cing an order.


    Tue next hiring as early as 3:30 am, Carlos was awake. He first checked his phone out of habit, and the first thing he saw was the tending news of Alix being the owner of LIXX, plus the pure pieces of evidence to prove it.


    Carlos was shocked that karma came so soon. He didn¡¯t need to think who was behind it unless he was daft not to know.


    Knowing that Alix was already in big trouble, Carlos immediately got out of bed and rushed into the bathroom to shower under 5 minutes, and got dressed as fast as possible.


    Even if he didn¡¯t want to stay in China again, he could have easily called Alix to inform her of what was going on, but he didn¡¯t because he chose to be selfish this time around. He knew that if he told Alix about it, he would have to cancel his flight and stay back to assist her.


    Even if he wouldn¡¯t want to assist her, one call from Mr. Suarez, he wouldn¡¯t have any choice but to stay back and help her to savage whatever that would remain.


    Carlos knew that the Fu family was all set out for Alix and that she would never be able to win against then, so saving his life and reputation was important.


    An hourter, Carlos took his luggage and left for the airport in the cab he ordered, and immediately he got to the airport, he put his phone on airne mode so that Alix and Mr. Suarez would not be able to contact him regarding the trending news.


    By 7 am, Carlos was already on board, and the aircraft had left the airport. When the airne took off, Carlos sighed in relief and shut his eyes to sleep.


    Meanwhile, the storm was still raging hard on the inte. So many people have seen the news now, Alix and herpany LIXX were being called out.


    Today was Saturday when most people didn¡¯t have to go to school and work, so they were all set for Alix and LIXX. What a perfect day to deal with them!


    Alix was woken up by a call around 7:05 am. She wanted to sleep in a little after her hard work and sleepless nights all these days just to get herpany running.


    Trying to sleep in until 9 am when she would get up to check on the venue and the interim decors, chefs, and other people she had employed to hell her make today a special one for theunching of herpany and new products, only to be disturbed with a phone call.


    With her eyes covered with an eye mask, she groaned and stretched her hand to the other side of the bed, when her hand touched her phone, she gripped it and swiped the screen to answer the call.


    Alix doesn¡¯t sleep in the same room with her son, because she doesn¡¯t like his cries disturbing her sleep, so he sleeps with his Nanny.


    The first thing Alix heard from the voice on the other end was, "Ma¡¯am, there is a big problem, LIXX is in trouble!"


    Hearing that herpany which was about tounch her products in a few hours after the hard work she put in was in trouble, Alix immediately sprang up and took away the eye mask, flinging it away.


    ncing at the caller ID, she said in a panicked voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? What could possibly go wrong now when everything was okay even at night?"


    "Ma¡¯am, check the inte, everyone is talking about you being the owner of LIXX, we can¡¯t even take care of this, because there are original documents to prove it." The person over the phone said.


    "What!" Alix eximed as immediately ended the call and went online to check what was happening. Lo and behold, she was being called out, many people were cursing her, those who ced an order from LIXX were asking for a refund after iming that she deceived them.


    Many people were protesting and asking for LIXX to be shut down if it belonged to her.


    Seeing the war against her and LIXX, Alix screamed in horror and dropped her phone on the floor.


    Hearing her scream and thinking that something was wrong, a servant rushed into her bedroom to check on her.


    "Ma¡¯am, are you okay?" The servant asked as she approached her in careful steps.


    Just as she asked that question, Alix said to her in a harsh-urgent tone, "Go... go and find Carlos immediately! Tell him toe over immediately, and don¡¯t waste my time otherwise you will be punished and fired!"


    The servants nervously ran out without bothering to respond to her. There was no way she would want to be punished and sacked at the same time.


    Even after she sent the servant out to call Carlos, Alix couldn¡¯t rx. She picked up her phone and called the tech department working for her, and asked them to try and take that thread down.


    "I don¡¯t care what it takes, take it down this moment!!!" Alix screamed through the phone and ended the call after that.


    She didn¡¯t want to hear them telling her it wasn¡¯t possible to do that since they have been trying to do that since they found out about it, even before a call was given to her.


    There were millions of people talking about it already, and also reposting the thread, so how was it possible for them to delete everything? If they wanted to wipe everything at once, then that would require connection and money which they didn¡¯t have.


    When the servant Alix sent out to fetch Carlos returned without him, she felt like murdering somebody.


    "Where is Carlos?!" She roared like a frustrated wild animal.

 Chapter 624 - Heartbroken Alix

    <h4>Chapter 624 ¨C Heartbroken Alix</h4>


    The servant was afraid to talk but more scared that she would attack with her ws, so she spoke up nervously, "Ma¡¯am, it looks like he is not around."


    "What?! What do you mean by that?!" Alix asked as she took a few steps closer to her. The servant was scared and immediately backed away while replying to her question.


    "I knocked several times and called out to him by there was no response."


    "Get out!!!" Alix screamed angrily, and the servant ran away in fear.


    Alix was as confused as anything at the moment. Her heartbeat couldn¡¯t stop palpitating, as she was as afraid that everything she has worked so hard for, was crashing down with speed.


    Alix was frustrated that she almost forgot to dial Carlos¡¯s number, but when she did so, it wasn¡¯t reachable. Out of anger, she threw her phone away and immediately picked up her nighttime before leaving the house.


    "Carlos where are you?! Are you ignoring me now?!!!" Alix screamed in tears as she banged on his door, but there was no response.


    ¡¯Did he run away?¡¯ She thought as she rushed back into her house, after the failed attempts of looking for Carlos.


    Alix thought that Carlos was avoiding her after what he earned her about cane to pass. She thought he blocked her from contacting her and went somewhere else to hide from her.


    What Alix didn¡¯t know was that Carlos had gone very far! He didn¡¯t just go to hide from her, he had already chosen to live her life.


    Alix only found out about Carlos going back to his home country after she managed to get her husband on phone. When she called him, she didn¡¯t bother exining anything to him, instead, she said with a hurried tone...


    "Please can you help me reach Carlos, it¡¯s urgent and he has been avoiding my calls! Tell him to call me immediately."


    "Isn¡¯t Carlos on his way back? Did he cancel his flight?" Mr. Suarez asked, a bit confused by her request.


    Alix thought she didn¡¯t hear well, because Carlos never mentioned anything about booking a flight. Although they had an argument and he said he was going to leave, she didn¡¯t believe him.


    Well, even if he was serious about it, at least he should have informed her, but he didn¡¯t, he had to shock her by abandoning her, and now, she can¡¯t reach out to him.


    Mr. Suarez was able to detect the urgency mixed with worry in Alix¡¯s voice, and so he asked what was going on, only to learn that herpany was facing a serious problem just a few hours before their productunched.


    "I don¡¯t have much to say to you. I can only give you one piece of advice, cancel LIXX¡¯s productunching and file for bankruptcy because you are already bankrupt. Next, sell yourpany and use the money to settle the everyone you are owning ande back home. If youe back within 2 weeks, I can still take care of you." Mr. Suarez instructed.


    This would be thest time he will ever try to help her or advise her based on LIXX¡¯s issue. If she doesn¡¯t listen to him this time around, then he will leave her fate to her hands and no longer care for her.


    How could Alix easily take his advice? This means that she was surrendering and losing everything she worked so hard for! How could she ept it?


    Even when she was already standing inside the hole she dug for herself, Alix still let her pride control her.


    After the call with her husband was disconnected, she threw her phone on the floor, and went on a rampage, destroying everything she couldt her hands on.


    She scared her little child with her screaming and breaking a lot of things, prompting him to cry. How crazy was Alix that she would go about scolding a baby and even asking his Nanny to get him to shut up or she would throw all of them out of the house.


    The Nanny was scared that Alix would do something to the child, so she took permission to take him outside for a walk. Alix didn¡¯t care and sent them out.


    With what was happening to her at the fastest pace, there was nothing to ponder about. LIXX couldn¡¯t deny the rumors going on on the inte, they also couldn¡¯t release a statement because they would be attacked by the angry people asking for a refund.


    Alix was heartbroken while asking her team to post an announcement on their official social media pages, canceling their event for the day.


    ¡¯It is unfortunate and it is with regret that we announce that LIXX¡¯s productunching will no longer hold today¡¯


    Just as Alix thought, she and herpany were immediately under cyber-attack 5 seconds after the announcement was out up.


    Many people were calling her out and asking that she be punished for deceiving them and also using Meixu to promote her products.


    "This woman is so shameless! How did she have the guts to mess with a member of the Fu family and think there wouldn¡¯t be a repercussion!!"


    "Alix is a trickster! She deliberately hid her identity from us after the insults and embarrassment she brought to us, now she wants to do business here!!"


    "Shouldn¡¯t the authorities do something about this woman? She has to refund my money, I am no longer interested in the products!!"


    "Alix, refund us all of our money!!!"


    All the models and influencers that LIXX paid to influence their products and advertise for them, all took down any post rted to them and released an apology to everyone saying that they were sorry for working for LIXX without knowing that Alix was the real owner.


    Alix did not have any appetite. She checked her phone to see that it was still working, and then she contacted her workers and asked them to stay out and wait for her instructions. She also asked them to take care of the event they had nned, and cancel so many things as soon as possible, before turning off her phone.


    Now all by herself, Alix had one thought going on in her head, and that is, she must deal with Fu Hua because he was the one that exposed this secret of hers.


    "Fu Hua, you just wait!"

 Chapter 625 - Heart Desires Met In An Unexpected Way

    <h4>Chapter 625 ¨C Heart Desires Met In An Unexpected Way</h4>


    Fu Hua who was responsible for what was happening to Alix didn¡¯t even have time to keep u with the news, he was currently ying with his little daughter and teaching her how to y some games, with Paco (her new puppy) by her side.


    Jia Li was busy in the kitchen, preparing something for the family. She had servants helping her in the kitchen, but she did the cooking herself.


    The only job of the servants was to cut the vegetables and get the ingredients ready ording to her instructions.


    Atst, when the food was ready, Jia Li went to have her bath, while the servants, served the food in the dining room.


    Within a few minutes, all the Fu family members came to the dining room to sit and have their breakfast.


    Grandfather Fu was especially happy when he saw the special meal Jia Li had prepared exclusively for him. He waited for her toe over before praising her.


    Not only grandfather Fu, but the other elders got their favorite food which Jia Li prepared, and they praised her for her diligence.


    The chefs were notpletely idle because Jia Li had prepared breakfast, they had one job to do, and that was to prepare desserts and tea for the family.


    During breakfast, the family ate quietly and harmoniously, with Jasmine making the ce lively as usual.


    The little girl has learned how to feed herself properly but using the toddler cutlery was a bit difficult for her, so Fu Hua had to help her cut/slice her meal in pieces, so she could easily pick it up with her fork.


    After breakfast, dessert was brought for them, and that was when they moved to an open ce to sit and chat a little.


    Fu Hua mentioned that he has asked Meixu¡¯spany to demand a public apology from LIXX and also file awsuit against LIXX for the bad image the painted of their agency and also on Meixu.


    He asked them to do that by noon, so no break would be taken from calling them out. He didn¡¯t any rest to the insults, cursing, and trouble that wasing Alix¡¯s way.


    At noon, Meixu¡¯s agency that has been quiet since LIXX made false usations against them, and twisted Meixu¡¯s words in a way that would defame her, released a statement.


    In that same statement, they called LIXX out and Alix as the owner of LIXX, demanding a public apology from them. Meixu¡¯s entertainment agency posted thewsuit filed against them and asked Alix and LIXX to obey the court orders.


    With this, everyone was already calling ALIX and her parentpany, LIXX out, asking them to apologize to not just Meixu and her agency, but also to them for deceiving them into believing her lies, and also hiding her identity to do business which made them order herpany¡¯s produce.


    When Alix was told about this, she was angrier, especially receiving thewsuit filed against her at this stage.


    "Why did you idiots choose this time to file awsuit against me?! I know all of you nned this gang up against me!!" Alix said angrily as she punched her bed.


    Choosing not to back down, she called her workers again and asked them to release a statement.


    ¡¯LIXX has a non-refund policy, so we are never refunding your money. It¡¯s either you take the products you paid for, or you leave them. Even the court can do anything about this because it is ourpany¡¯s policy.


    Many people were angry with LIXX¡¯s rude statement, especially those that already pre-ordered her products.


    No matter how rude LIXX was, they were right. They had clearly stated that they had a no-refund policy, which means after payment for a product or consultation, they can not get their money back even if they can their order or consultation.


    LIXX didn¡¯t hide this from the very beginning, so no one can hold this against them.


    Right now, LIXX was swimming in so manywsuit battles. A few hours after remaining every one of their non-refund policy, they went on to sue the models and the influencers they had contracted.


    When LIXX got into trouble that day, the models and influencers, all took down all the posts rting to LIXX without their permission, which was against the agreement, so LIXX sued them for going against their agreement.


    In return, the models and influencers, sued LIXX for tarnishing their reputation and image with the drama happening online, because they were being insulted and dragged for, working for LIXX.


    As Alix and LIXX were getting into one trouble and the other without getting out of anyone, many show hosts, news anchors, and reporters wanted to meet with Alix and so tried to contact her, but couldn¡¯t reach her.


    A great number of the media personalities can see that Alix and herpany suffered this major blow because they had offended the Fu family, so they wanted to interview her because of that, and also other reasons.


    They had so many questions for her, just like some people as well, while others didn¡¯t when want to hear what she had to say.


    Throughout that day, Alix was not herself. She has lost everything and herpany has already gone bankrupt without evenunching. She was swimming inwsuits and debts. The few investors she managed to get without revealing her identity, we¡¯re calling her non-stop.


    Everybody who had the opportunity wanted to sue her and herpany. Alix¡¯s heart was already bleeding blood. She was pained and paralyzed, and nobody wanted to help her.


    Who would want to help her? Who would want to save her?


    Alix refused to give in. She refused to apologize to everyone that was affected by the lies she told, and the story she twisted. She refused to back down, and she was yet to make a public announcement about LIXX being bankrupt.


    Alix wanted attention to herself and her brand. She wanted her brand to be popr, and now, she has gotten her heart desires in the most unexpected way.


    Now, who in Country C and beyond doesn¡¯t know LIXX? Fu Hua really did help her to achieve her goals, what a wonderful ex he is.

 Chapter 626 - Alix Accepts An Interview

    <h4>Chapter 626 ¨C Alix epts An Interview</h4>


    Not many investors will be willing to buy out LIXX, because of the bad reputation of the owner. Alix also wasn¡¯t ready to sell LIXX yet, and the workers she was owing, were currently asking for their pay.


    It had dawned on them that LIXX had no future and there was no hope of it rising again, so they were demanding that Alix paid them.


    There was no one as frustrated as Alix but she was no longer confused as she has made up her mind about something. She didn¡¯t want to leave China yet because she was not yet done.


    "Why does it look like that woman in unshakable?" FangSu asked Fu Hua with a frown. She has seen the drama going on on the inte, and ALIX¡¯s actions and responses looked like she didn¡¯t care. It felt like she was still standing strong.


    "Do you have insight? Feng Alix is in a lot of trouble. She can¡¯t evade the court summons. Her reputation is ruined, but notpletely ruined, because I¡¯m yet to make her unable to face anyone again." Fu Hua replied.


    "Brother, you have to hurry up and end her quickly, she had be a thorn in our flesh," FangSu said.


    While everything was looking bleak for Alix in the view of those against her, she just epted an Interview.


    Right now, Alix was dressed in red. Her lipstick matched her dress and her shoes. She didn¡¯t dress seductively, but the impression she passed was a deration that she was a strong woman.


    Her choice of outfit and color was bold, and she was very deliberate in her action.


    Alix left her house with her driver for the interview. It was actually a live interview.


    What made Alix so confident and standing tall even with a broken spinal cord?


    As the live interview started, Alix sat by the side while waiting for the host to introduce her.


    The host faced the camera and said with a slight smile, "We have seen what¡¯s going on on the inte about Miss Alix being the owner of LIXX and the bacshes that followed. Today on our live show, we decided to invite Miss Feng Alix to answer a lot of our questions because we believe that she owes us an exnation for what she did and the reason behind it."


    Turning to nce at Alix who was sitting behind the camera, the host asked her toe forward and sit on the couch next to hers. "Miss Alix please."


    After Alix had sat down, the host said to her, "Thank you for epting this interview."


    "I should be thanking you for inviting me because I can, atst, get a lot of things off my chest," Alix said with a smile. She didn¡¯t look like she was the one being bacshed on the inte.


    Those outside, who saw the live show, called their friends to check it out, even the Fu family were aware of the show, and some of them were watching it.


    When Fu Hua saw Alix on the live show, his gaze changed and became more dangerous.


    "What does this woman think she is doing?" FangSu asked angrily.


    "Cousin, she is going to cause more trouble, what else does she want to say because I¡¯m sure she is not there for an apology," Meixu said


    Jia Li who was watching the Tv from the side said, "She is out there to embarrass us because that¡¯s the only thing she can afford."


    FangSu, Meixu, YingPei, and Ling all nced at her in surprise. Fu Hua who already knew why Alix was on the live show said to them, "Just let her do what she wants!"


    After saying that, Fu Hua walked away. Jia Li tried to stop him from leaving, but he didn¡¯t seem to be in the mood to listen to anybody.


    After Fu Hua left them, he picked up his phone and made a call to hiswyer and the police. Fu Hua gave them an instruction before ending the call and going to find his grandfather.


    "Grandfather, Alix has to leave this country within a week from today. Call the Huang family in 2 hours and try to reach the President, a ban has to be put on her today." Fu Hua said.


    "Why wait till 2 hours?" Grandfather Fu probed.


    Fu Hua shut his eyes and opened them. "Feng Alix in on a live interview right now, when the interview ends, you will know the reason. Also, this will be enough for the government to ban her from China."


    "We don¡¯t need to wait for the other secret you haven her to be unveiled?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    "There is no need, that would be a departing gift." Fu Hua said.


    Grandfather Fu heaved a sigh and said to him, "I can tell that Alix is going to talk about something rted to you. Call the police to get her immediately she leaves that building."


    "I have done that already." Fu Hua said.


    "You can go." Grandfather Fu said as he shooed him away. When Fu Hua left, the old man was lost deep in thought.


    Back to the interview, the host has already started to question Alix over what was going on.


    "We can see that the Fu family were the ones that divulged the information and secret of you being the owner of LIXX. Can you tell us why the Fu family is after you?"


    "Because I looked for trouble first," Alix replied almost immediately. Her reply was a surprise to the host and the audience who didn¡¯t expect that she would admit to her faults.


    The host got a hold of herself and continued. "Why did you look for trouble first? This is not the first time the Fu family or anyone rted to the Fu family is after you, and we can also see that you have been involved with them in the past few years and recently. Is there something we need to know about your feud with them?"


    Alix chuckled and said, "Good question.." She looked happy after that question was asked like she has been waiting for it.

 Chapter 627 - Alix Reveals Her Past Relationship...

    <h4>Chapter 627 ¨C Alix Reveals Her Past Rtionship...</h4>


    "I¡¯m d you asked this question, so I can give an answer, and people will know the reason my personality changed. I¡¯ve been deeply hurt by the person I loved, and he didn¡¯t leave me any room to derail and follow this path." Alix said.


    "By the person you loved, do you mean your husband or your ex? Did you date someone before?" The Host questioned.


    "My ex. He is a public figure and almost everyone knows him." Alix replied.


    The host and some of the people got excited for what next she was going to say. But the Fu family members¡¯ reaction was different.


    "Don¡¯t tell me she is going to call brother¡¯s name?!" FangSu said in horror.


    Meixu sighed and said, "We all know whose name she is going to call. She is not lying, but her revealing this to the world is going to be a serious situation for her, and us."


    "What?! Did my brother really date her?" FangSu asked.


    YingPei sighed and said, "Brother dated her in the past, and none of us knew about it, except grandfather, but he was quiet because Brother refused to admit he was dating until he was asked to marry sister-inw."


    "It¡¯s over!" FangSu said as she let her back hit the seat with a horrible gaze on the TV.


    Jia Li didn¡¯t seem to be in a good mood, because what Alix was doing, was going to bring attention to the Fu family once again. Many people will question them and call out Fu Hua to confirm what Alix said.


    Jia Li didn¡¯t like this and for the first time, she was beginning to feel hatred for Alix. Before, she didn¡¯t really care about her, but it was different this time around.


    Back to the show...


    "Can you tell us who your ex was?" The host asked.


    Feng Alix smiled and said, "Of course, I will, even when I know that revealing his name would get me in trouble. I once dated the CEO of FJ Styles, Fu Hua."


    "What?!" The host eximed. She forgot toport herself as the host because she was shocked by this revtion.


    Not just the host, the viewers were shocked as well. They couldn¡¯t believe that Fu Hua and Alix were once an item and nobody knew about it.


    "Are you sure you won¡¯t be sued for giving us, false information?" The host asked.


    Alix scoffed, "Is more like I will be getting sued for revealing this information, because we had an agreement, and now, I have defaulted a part of that agreement."


    The host took a deep breath and asked, "What was it like to date Fu Hua?"


    "I felt blessed and loved. I got everything I wanted. He was mostly busy and sometimes I felt he didn¡¯t like me, so I called more often. I do set up romantic nights for us, and he was really the romantic type, and a man everyone would love to have. He satisfied all my needs." Alix said with a dreamy look as she went back to the past when all things between her and Fu Hua were good.


    So many viewers watching this part felt like strangling Alix. Most of them were already throwing shades at her.


    ¡¯Can you stop with that dreamy look, Fu Hua can never be yours again?!¡¯


    ¡¯Please who gave this woman the opportunity to be shameless?¡¯


    ¡¯I am quite sure that we gave all be aughing stock by other citizens because of this crazy woman!¡¯


    ¡¯I still can¡¯t believe that Fu Hua dated Alix, kike seriously, what an embarrassment!¡¯


    ¡¯The host of this show must be crazy to have invited this woman for this!¡¯


    ¡¯I feel that Fu Hua is lucky to have left her in time before she destroyed his life.¡¯


    "Do you mind sharing with us a little bit of your past if how you two broke up?" The host asked with an interested gaze.


    Alix¡¯s facial expression changed from a dreamy happy look to that of anger.


    "We were still dating when I traveled out for work overseas, and while I was away working on a project. he got married to another woman without telling me about it. I only found out about this when I paid him a surprise visit back home only to see a woman in his house. I still didn¡¯t think something was off until he returned and told me the woman I saw was his wife. I was heartbroken, so I ran away."


    "Are you saying that Fu Hua cheated on you and broke your heart?" The host asked.


    "Yes, he did. When I left his house that night, I was hit by a car and rushed to the hospital, and that was the incident that led me to post that picture of him visiting me in the hospital, which led to so many spections." Alix replied.


    Many people were alreadymenting...


    ¡¯Alix for Fu Hua not to have told you about breaking up, it means you didn¡¯t deserve to know.¡¯


    ¡¯Alix this means that you were such a terrible person because I don¡¯t see why Fu Hua wouldn¡¯t break up with you.¡¯


    ¡¯Fu Hua not telling her about ending their rtionship speaks volumes. We need to hear from Fu Hua to tell us what horrible things this woman did to him that made him not care about informing her of his decision.¡¯


    Someoneughed and said, ¡¯It looks more like Alix was dating herself.¡¯


    ¡¯I refused to believe that Fu Hua would act this way without a reason! Alix stop speaking one-sided just to defend yourself and tell us what you did wrong!¡¯


    ¡¯Alix, did you cheat on Fu Hua?¡¯


    "It looks like you still hold a grudge against Fu Hua, for you to be doing all of this?" The host probed.


    At this point, Alix forced her eyes to be teary as she replied, "Of course? Why would he do that to me, no woman deserves that.. He didn¡¯t even show me a little respect by informing me that he was breaking up with me. He waited for me toe back and find out myself, he was so mean!"

 Chapter 628 - National Punishment For Alix

    <h4>Chapter 628 ¨C National Punishment For Alix</h4>


    "Howe nobody knew you two were dating? Was it his idea to keep it under wraps?" The host asked.


    Alix smiled and responded, "No, it was mine at first, and now I regret it."


    "Why did you choose to reveal this secret here, and despite the fact that you will get in trouble for going against the agreement between you two?" The host inquired.


    Alix uncrossed her legs and said, "Saying this won¡¯t help me get justice, it also won¡¯t save me from the impending doom that awaits, but I¡¯m doing this so that everyone can see the kind of person their Fu Hua is, and what kind of woman he married. A woman who cane in-between a couple, does she think her rtionship will be safe?"


    The host frowned and asked, "Are you saying that Fu Hua¡¯s wife, Miss Jia Li knew about you two and still went ahead to be with him?"


    "Yes! and I¡¯m sure she was the one that seduced and broke us apart while I was away! Who knows what kind of drug she fed him!" Alix said with a death re. She looks very infuriated, and she didn¡¯t mind that she was on a live show.


    The host saw how agitated she was and tried to deviate from the topic.


    "Miss Feng, you have broken so manyws and agreements. You also owe some people an apology, what do you n to do?"


    Feng Alix refused to say anything about that. "Noments. End this interview, I am not in a good state to continue!"


    The host listened to her and ended the Live Interview, but outside, so many people were calling the host and Alix out, even the Tv station.


    They were asked why the Live interview had to end when the time for the important matter came.


    "Alix, I¡¯m sure this is one of your tactics to malign someone¡¯s name and run away!"


    ¡¯Alix definitely didn¡¯te here to exin herself, she came here to spoil somebody¡¯s name!¡¯


    ¡¯I can¡¯t believe she dragged the innocent Jia Li into this matter!!!¡¯


    ¡¯Ruining her image wasn¡¯t enough, and now she is trying to drag others into it!¡¯


    ¡¯Can we now get rid of this woman because it¡¯s obvious there is not even a slight chance of good remaining in her!¡¯


    ¡¯I don¡¯t care what happened in the past, but this woman needs to be arrested! She has broken so manyws and agreements and she is not even guilty!¡¯


    ¡¯Something has to be done about Alix! Where is her mother, let¡¯s drag her out and ask her if she ever trained Alix!¡¯


    ¡¯Where is Alix¡¯s husband, shouldn¡¯t hee and take care of her? I wonder why he married her despite the terrible situation she was in at that time!¡¯


    ¡¯Who are all those Alix¡¯s followers on her social media ount, you guys have 30 minutes to unfollow her, or you will be called out!¡¯


    ¡¯I don¡¯t care what you all are saying, but for inviting a psychopath and a criminal to a live show, that Tv station should be banned? Also, the host should be unable to ever host a show again!¡¯


    ¡¯This is a big insult to the Fu family given their contributions to the country and the society!¡¯


    ¡¯Something must be done about this!¡¯


    ¡¯Can Fu Hua at least talk to us, I believe he shoulde and debunk all Alix said!¡¯


    ¡¯Fu Hua doesn¡¯t need to say anything, whether he dated Alix in the past or not, it doesn¡¯t matter. Alix has long shown us the kind of person she is, she deserves everything that happened to her!¡¯


    ¡¯I will be very disappointed if Fu Hua says anything because he doesn¡¯t need to. This will be degrading himself because there is no need to defend himself.¡¯


    ¡¯Alix is truly an embarrassment to the female gender, and now so brainless people will think all women are the same!¡¯


    ¡¯Where is Alix¡¯s mother, I heard she is not on good terms with Alix, even after Alix gave birth, she never went to see her!¡¯


    ¡¯Alix¡¯s mother is a good one, but I wonder how she ended up raising Alix to this kind of person she is now!¡¯


    The Fu family was pissed off, not just them, other big families of C nation who were with one ord with the Fu family, were angry. Just like Fu Hua wanted, a meeting was held and the Government was reached.


    The Government decided to ban Alix, but she was going to pay all her debts a make a public apology, also, no more interviews will be granted to her. She will be given a week to settle all her debts and leave the country.


    This news was yet to be announced publicly.


    Meanwhile, Alix was handcuffed and put in the police car, and taken away right after she got off the building. The reporters hanging around didn¡¯t fail to record this scene


    The next hour, the videos and pictures of Alix being arrested, made it on the inte, and everybody from different continents, saw it.


    Alix was expecting this, and it took her unawares. She tried to struggle with the police, but she just got dragged into the car.


    Even if this was a Live Interview, there was no way Fu Hua would be able to catch up with her here, unless he knew she was going to do this.


    At the thought that Fu Hua knew her moves, she screamed hysterically "You bastard!!!" the policewomen sitting by her sides, held her down so she would stop moving a lot.


    Later that day, the official announcement from the federal high court concerning Feng Alix¡¯s case was made public.


    When Alix learned of the judgment given to her, she said, "Shameless government who is not afraid to gang up against a weak woman like me! How dare them to give me a verdict?!"


    No matter how powerful Alix was still acting, she knew that deep down, she has long lost the battle.


    Some people were still dissatisfied with the punishment that was given to Alix. They said it was a light punishment.


    Some of them wanted her to go on live imprisonment or receive death by hanging after paying off all her debts and the fine from thewsuits she acquired.

 Chapter 629 - Alixs End

    <h4>Chapter 629 ¨C Alix¡¯s End</h4>


    That same day, LIXX released a statement dering herself bankrupt. This was so that it can be acquired by interested investors, and the money gotten from it was used to pay up their debts.


    In the following days, LIXX as apany apologized to Meixu and her agency for tarnishing their image and using her to gain attention.


    LIXX apologized but Alix refused to apologize to anyone. All the money Alix got from selling herpany, she used to settle all her debts and thewsuits awaiting her.


    The money gotten from selling herpany wasn¡¯t enough because she made a 75% loss. She used 100% funds to start up herpany but only got 25% after selling it off, which made her make a 75% loss.


    LIXX sold some equipment in their factory before selling the rest to the same person that bought theirpany, still, the money realized was not enough to settle Alix¡¯s debts.


    This matter drove Alix mad, and she had no choice but to call her husband to make a deal with him. She said she was willing to give up her shares in hispany in exchange for the money to take care of her debts, and also for him to take care of her and her son as well.


    This was thest resort for Alix and fortunately for her, it had worked. But the problem is that the money realized from the shares she sold back to her husband, was worth only 50% of that particr shares.


    Given her current situation, Alix had no qualms, and willingly epted it even though she was pissed!


    She was exchanging thest symbol of power and authority she had, just to settle the debts she umted in China.


    Alix was silently praying for aeback, so she would kill Fu Hua off. She promised not to be softhearted anymore.


    Before leaving the country, Alix sold all her properties and the money she got from it, she added it to the one she already had to settle her bills.


    Leaving the country in disgrace, Alix swore to make aeback in the most horrible way ever known and heard.


    When Fu Hua heard from one of his subordinates that she had boarded her flight, he gave the signal to release her dirty materials to her husband and his family, and also in China.


    Now everyone was aware that Alix had an affair, and has been doing that with herwyer. The inky person that got the whole clue was Mr. Suarez because Fu Hua made sure to send him the exclusive contents.


    All this evidence questioned the paternity of the child Alix imed to have borne for him. Mr. Suarez who was willing to wee Alix back (Although he already had ns to deal with her for causing trouble and causing the worth of hispany shares to drop) was so angry that he was cock-hold and made to take up the responsibility of a child that might not belong to him.


    Mr. Suarez suffered from a mild heart attack, but he has rescued thanks to the presence of his family who called his doctor immediately while on Alix¡¯s matter.


    When he regained consciousness, Mr. Suarez asked for Carlos to be brought to him, but his son said that Carlos had already been taken care of.


    While he was out, his family had sent their bodyguards to bring Carlos to their Vi. Carlos was interrogated and he confessed to having had an affair with Alix on numerous asions. As for the child, he denied being the father.


    After Mr. Suarez heard of hiswyer¡¯s confession to sleeping with his wife, he almost suffered another heart attack.


    "Father, please calm down because of your health!" His daughter said with a worried gaze.


    "Calm down, how can I calm down?! Send some people to go to the airport to bring Alix. Take the child from her and take him to the hospital for the paternity test, and one if you must monitor the test being done. As for Alix, put her in the dungeon, no food or water should be given to her. Once it has been proven that the child doesn¡¯t belong to me, hand her over to the police!"


    Once Mr. Suarez¡¯s verdict was given, it was carried out immediately.


    Alix who was still unaware of the news spreading about her, couldn¡¯t wait to get off the ne, and once she did, she met with the familiar faces of the men working for the Suarez family.


    They didn¡¯t treat her respectfully, and she was also separated from her child.


    The bodyguards took the nanny and the child from her side and out them a different car. Alix was angry and questioned them, "Who dare you take my child away without my permission?!"


    "It was Sir¡¯s order, pleasee with us!" One of the bodyguards said.


    Alix thought that since she was going back to the house anyway, she was going to confront Mr. Suarez, so she kept quiet and entered the car they pointed out for her.


    While on their way, Alix was thinking if Mr. Suarez had ns of taking her child from her. When she arrived at this thought, she looked angry and swore that she would drag him to court if he tries to chase her away from his family and take her child from her.


    On getting to the Suarez vi, Alix got off and wanted to immediately go to find Mr. Suarez, but the treatment she received was far-fetched from what she imagined.


    She received two heavy ps from Mr. Suarez¡¯s first daughter who didn¡¯t give her a chance to enter the house, before she asked the bodyguards behind her, to take her away and lock her up in the dungeon.


    "... don¡¯t give her any food or water!" She reminded them.


    Alix questioned her and asked what right she had to treat her that way. She also demanded to see her child and Mr. Suarez, but she was immediately dragged away.


    Three dayster, the result for the paternity test came out, and it proved that Mr. Suarez had no biological rtionship with Alix¡¯s child, but instead, Carlos did!


    Carlos was shocked to the core and wanted to deny it, but the evidence was clear before him, and this got him thinking back to the time he first slept with Alix after she got married to Mr. Suarez.


    Carlos just learned that Alix had deceived her. He really wanted to break her neck, but sadly, he didn¡¯t even get to see her ever again.


    Alixmitted suicide when the evidence was brought before her, and the police came to arrest her. Even till thest moment, Alix kept her pride. She refused to go to the station knowing that there would never be a way out for her.


    As for the child, he was sent to the orphanage to be looked after, till Carlos came out of his 5 years prison sentence to im him.

 Chapter 630 - Now In Good Terms

    <h4>Chapter 630 ¨C Now In Good Terms</h4>


    Alix¡¯s end was a surprise to many because they didn¡¯t expect her to take her life. They thought she would have gone into hiding, but she chose to vanish from the face of the earthpletely, abandoning her child in the process.


    Alix died in disgrace, and forever she would be remembered that way. Also, her death was like a reassurance that she would never appear to cause trouble again.


    Alix was dead, but many people were still talking bad about her, and thissted for almost a week.


    Bai Jun, on the other hand, thought how cruel Fu Hua was, that caused a woman like Alix to take her life because of shame.


    Alix had looked unshakable to her, but it dawned on her that there was a point a human being would reach, and not want to continue the journey.


    Bai Jun learned one thing from Alix¡¯s death, and that was her pride. She was shamed so much that her pride was hurt, and because she couldn¡¯t leave with it, she had to end her life.


    Seeing how cruel Fu Hua was, Bai Jun was now preparing her heart for anything, and at the same time, nning a big blow.


    Today, was Xin¡¯sst day to work for Fu Ling. She was very efficient with her work today as if she wanted to leave asting impression.


    At the end of the work hours, she took her resignationter to Fu Ling, who signed it and directed the finance department to pay her for the current month, plus a little bonus for how hard she had worked this current year.


    Xin left no parting words for Fu Ling. After she took her pay from the finance department, she went back to Fu Ling¡¯s office to thank him.


    Before she left his office finally, Fu Ling said to her, "Miss Xin I wish you well."


    Xin thanked him again and left finally. She has thought that her mind and heart would be free after resigning, but no it wasn¡¯t. It felt more chaotic and constricted.


    Soon, it was the day of Jia Li and Fu Hua¡¯s wedding anniversary. Jia Li and Fu Hua posted a few pictures on their social media pages, also the Fu family posted their photos with a simple sentence caption, wishing them many wonderful years together.


    All of their fans posted about them as well. They congrattes and wished them well together.


    On their wedding anniversary day, was on a weekday, so Jia Li and Fu Hua both went to work. Jia Li¡¯s colleagues did not fail to gift her, as she was loved by them.


    Fu Hua also received gifts from some of FJ¡¯s board of directors and also his HODs. No ordinary worker dared to gift since he wasn¡¯t easy to approach, so Jia Li was the one that received the gifts on his behalf.


    At the end of work that day, they both returned home, to the little surprise the family put together for them.


    The surprise was delicious dishes covering the big dining table, an anniversary cake, a few bottles of Champagne, and gifts. Also, simple decors were put around the dining room.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua didn¡¯t see this until they washed up and came down for dinner. This young couple was all smiles as they were celebrated by their family.


    Jasmine who couldn¡¯t stay away from food asked her mother to give her the biggest share of the cake. The little girl loved the flower decors on the cake and asked for them.


    Fu Hua picked it from the center of the cake and handed it to her.


    "Thank you, Daddy!" Jasmine said happily before putting it in her mouth. The flower fancy was edible and sweet, so the little girl enjoyed it.


    "Da Xia, don¡¯t eat too much of it, look, there are so many dishes for you to eat here. If you finish those fancy flowers, then there would be no space in your stomach." Fu Lei said to his granddaughter with a kind smile.


    "Okay, grandpa, I won¡¯t eat all of them," Jasmine replied enthusiastically.


    The little girl took one more bite from the fancy cake flower, before giving it to her mother to out away, and began to eat the healthy food assembled in front of her.


    The wedding anniversary celebration was so simple, yet much heartwarming.


    Two dayster, Meixu received more coboration from differentpanies. After the trouble online and the matter was cleared, she became a hot topic.


    Some people said that she had a good eye for not signing with LIXX at that time. As if she had, it would have been a p on her face, and also her family¡¯s face if Alix waster revealed as the owner, which is true.


    Meixu¡¯s fame rose because of that, and now, she was getting so many offers, including interviews, movie roles, endorsement deals, and the rest.


    After spending a long time at her agency today, she was exhausted and wanted to go somewhere cool to rx.


    As if he was in the spirit and knew what was going on in her mind, Shi Qiao called her and asked out for drinks and food, to which she agreed.


    During the time Alix was after Meixu, Shi Qiao showed support to her publicly, which warmed a little spot in her heart, as he was not afraid of hispany¡¯s stock plummeting because of her.


    Now sitting in the restaurant he brought her to, Shi Qiao asked after they ced their order, "Will you be very busy at the remaining part of this year?"


    "My schedule will be tight, and my manager is currently working on filling it up. I have some movie scripts to look at. Why are you asking?" Meixu replied?


    Shi Qiao smiled and said to her, "I would love to hang out with you often, and I hope you will leave space in your schedule for it."


    Meixu stared at him silently for a few seconds without saying anything. Shi Qiao was ufortable with the silence and thought that he must have stepped out of line and apologized for his actions.


    "I¡¯m sorry if I stepped out of line."


    Meixu chuckled softly. She found his apologetic look funny and couldn¡¯t helpughing over it.. She wasn¡¯t annoyed with him because he didn¡¯t offend her, so it was surprising that she wouldugh.

 Chapter 631 - Spending The Weekend With Her Great-grandfather

    <h4>Chapter 631 ¨C Spending The Weekend With Her Great-grandfather</h4>


    "What¡¯s funny?" Shi Qiao asked with a frown, as he didn¡¯t understand the reason he was beingughed at.


    "Nothing. I will be sure to leave some days off just to hang out with you." Meixu said to him and rxed her back on the seat.


    Her response was a surprise to Shi Qiao, who wasn¡¯t expecting her to agree to hang out with him, given their past rtionship and the foundation it was based on.


    "Do you mean your response?" He asked for confirmation.


    Meixu pretended to be annoyed and said, "Don¡¯t you like it? If you don¡¯t, then forget it, I will find somewhere else to be at those times."


    "Why are you in a hurry? I can¡¯t reject what I have been asking for. Thank you for your time in advance." Shi Qiao said with a smile. Meixu smiled back at him.


    A few minutester, their order was served. After hanging out that evening, Shi Qiao drove Meixu back to the Fu house.


    "Who is that person that dropped you off?" Fu ChuHua asked Meixu as soon as she stepped foot into the house.


    "Mum, have you been monitoring me?" Meixu asked.


    Fu ChuHua smiled and said, "How can I monitor you? I don¡¯t dare. I just managed to see the car, it¡¯s a coincidence. So tell me, who dropped you off?"


    Fu ChuHua was very much interested in her daughter¡¯s private life right now because she hoped for her to settle down soon.


    "That¡¯s an acquaintance" Meixu replied and walked into the house. Fu ChuHua followed after her immediately as she seemed more interested now.


    "How can you allow an acquaintance to drop you off at home? Why are you not security conscious?" Fu ChuHua asked.


    "Mum, fine! That¡¯s my friend, and please don¡¯t follow me into my bedroom because I have nothing more to tell you." Meixu said as she climbed the stairs.


    "This girl, why are so stingy? I¡¯m your mother and you don¡¯t tell me anything." Fu ChuHuained as she followed her.


    Meixu got annoyed and stopped in her steps. And because Fu ChuHua was following her back to back, she almost bumped into her.


    "Mum? Why are you acting like a gossip? If you are bored, go out to meet your friends. I don¡¯t have anything to tell you." Meixu said with creased brows.


    Fu ChuHua looked surprised with how annoyed she looked. "Why are you so angry? I only thought to know what¡¯s going on in your life as your mother, since you don¡¯t tell me anything. Anyway, I won¡¯t disturb you anymore, go on to your room, but just don¡¯t forget to invite your boyfriend home as soon as you start dating."


    Fu ChuHua did not wait for Meixu to reply before going back down the stairs. Meixu didn¡¯t have the energy to waste on her, so she turned around and continued her way up the stairs.


    During the weekend, Jasmine spent half of it with her great grandfather. The two of them went to the strawberry garden to harvest the fresh sulent fruit. Trust Jasmine to eat while she worked.


    Grandfather Fu stood by the side and watched the little girl who caught his attention. Jasmine picked up two strawberries from the basket and washed them in a big bowl filled with water. Next, the little girl walked up to her grandfather and handed one of the strawberries to him.


    "Great Grandpa, take..." Jasmine said with her hand stretched out.


    Grandfather Fu smiled and said to her, "Wait here, let me wash my hands." With that, the old man went to wash his hands, before pulling the little girl to sit on the basket chairs lined up at one side, before epting the fruit from her.


    One small and one big, took a bite from the juicy fruits in their hands and smiled happily. It was a symbol of the joy from their bountiful harvest.


    After eating the strawberry his little great-granddaughter gave to him, Grandfather Fu asked the little girl, "Da Xia, would you follow me to give some of these strawberries to my friends tomorrow?"


    "Yes, I will follow you! But great-grandpa, can I bring Paco along?" Jasmine asked. She remembered her puppy and couldn¡¯t help wanting him to along with her.


    "Sure, you can bring Paco along." Grandfather Fu replied.


    "Thank you, grandfather!" Jasmine said happily as she imed her hands together.


    "Good girl, go wash your hands." Grandfather Fu said to her as he pointed at the bowl of water at the side. After cleaning up their hands, the little girl and her great grandfather continued to harvest their strawberries.


    After working for half an hour more, they washed their hands and went back to the house, while the servant carried the baskets of strawberries into the house.


    Jasmine and the rest of the family members had strawberries for appetizers before eating their main course that night.


    The next day in the morning, Jasmine followed Grandfather Fu to the strawberry garden to harvest more fresh strawberries that would be sent to his friends that morning.


    Jasmine followed her great-grandfather to visit his friends and send them the freely harvested strawberries, and when they came back home, Jasmine was full of excitement and ran to show off the gifts she got, to her parents.


    Nobody knew the little girl would being along, so a quick red packet was prepared and given to her. Jia Li praised the little girl for receiving gifts and promised to keep her money away.


    What got Jasmine more excited, was the strawberry ice cream that was served to her. Fu Hee made the little girl know that it was her great grandfather that ordered it for her.


    The little girl was grateful and quickly thanked the old man. That same night, Jasmine was thought something by her grandparents.


    When it was the to go to bed, Jasmine insisted on spending the night with her friend which they agreed to, but who knew the little girl had an agenda?


    "Mummy, when will I get a little sister or brother?" Jasmine asked with an innocent gaze.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua were shocked by that question, as they were not expecting that kind of question from their 4-year-old....

 Chapter 632 - Another Younger Jasmine

    <h4>Chapter 632 ¨C Another Younger Jasmine</h4>


    "Jasmine, who thought you to say that?" Jia Li asked with widened eyeballs. She still couldn¡¯t get over that shock.


    Jasmine could tell her parents change in facial expression. The little girl looked a little confused while replying, "Uhm... grandma and grandpa said it will be nice to have a junior sibling to y with, so I want one."


    "Princess, do you want a sister and a brother so badly?" Fu Hua asked in a low chuckle. He seemed to get over this quicker than Jia Li, and besides, he felt it was fun watching the horrific look on his wife¡¯s face.


    "Mmm... one of my ssmates has a younger brother, she showed me his photos on Thursday, he looks so cute!" Jasmine said as she gushed over the pictures of a newborn baby her ssmate showed to her at school.


    "Oh my goodness!" Jia Li eximed with a palm over her face. She didn¡¯t know what to say to her little girl as she was exhausted already.


    Fu Hua saw that Jia Li was out of it. He knew what was going through her mind, and he decided to talk to the little girl who was still waiting for their response, "Princess, your mummy and I are very busy, but we will give you a sibling soon, okay?"


    "Okay..." Jasmine replied with a smile.


    "Now go to bed, good girl." Fu Hua said as he tucked her in, while Jia Li watched in awe. She was wondering who would be the one to give birth to another child.


    Actually, Jia Li was very busy working on her brand, and she couldn¡¯t afford to have a child now, because the stress from being pregnant and from work will take a toll on her.


    Jasmine was 4 years old already, and it wasn¡¯t a bad idea to have another child soon, the age gap was perfect. But due to the serious work at hand, Jia Li couldn¡¯t afford to have a child now.


    She has gone through pregnancy and childbirth, and those experiences were enough for her to know it wasn¡¯t a joke. And besides, having another child mean, that she would now have two children to worry about.


    After Jasmine had slept off, Fu Hua hugged Jia Li to his chest. "When do you think we should have another child?" He asked in a gentle tone.


    "Not this year, remember, I¡¯m working on my brand." Jia Li said in a calm reminder.


    Fu Hua peered at her face and asked as his lips arched in a small smile, "Does that mean you¡¯re ready to have another child?"


    Before, Jia Li wasn¡¯t ready to have another child, but from the look of things, it seemed she was ready now.


    Jia Li hid her face in his chest and replied, "It won¡¯t be bad to have another child soon, the time is right."


    Fu Hua was so happy with her response that he hugged her again, "I¡¯m d we can over this journey one more time. If you had said you didn¡¯t want another child, I would have epted it, but we would have to make the whole family understand our decision. But I¡¯m truly happy if we can get another child."


    Jia Li smiled and hugged him back. She can remember how he pranked her with the fake pregnancy news from the doctor, she had almost lost her mind because she was not ready back then.


    The family of three had a good night¡¯s sleep, and during breakfast the next morning, Fu Hua announced to the family of he and Jia Li¡¯s decision on having a second child.


    "Jia Li is busy working on her brand that would beunched in December, so we can¡¯t make another child till sometime around next year."


    "What? Are you serious? Sister-inw, are youunching your fashion brand this year?" FangSu asked in a thrilled manner. She seemed really excited.


    "Yes, I am." Jia Li smiled.


    "This is good, we have been waiting for this day for 4 years now." Grandfather Fu said with a proud smile.


    Meixu shifted her focus from FangSu to Jia Li and said with a happy smile, "This is good, I can now model for you since I didn¡¯t get to do it thest time."


    "Since this is the case, you can focus on your brand this year." Fu Hee said with a big smile. She knew that Jasmine had delivered the messagest night which promoted Fu Hua to bring the topic up now.


    "It will also be good if the child can arrive before the end of next year, but still, take your time." Fu ChuHua chipped in.


    "I can¡¯t imagine what another little Jasmine would do in this family," YingPei said with his gaze at the healthy chubby little girl wobbling down food from her te.


    "This may give me an inspiration for developing another game." Fu Ling said and drank from his ss of freshly squeezed juice.


    The joy of a new child in the family was truly the greatest. And from the look of things, it seems that the Fu family has been patiently waiting for another child from Fu Hua and Jia Li.


    After breakfast, Jia Li for dragged outside the house by Jasmine who wanted to see Ocean and her grown pups, Avery and Archie.


    Jia Li has been busytely, and no longer had time to y with her dogs, so she hardly saw them frequently.


    When Ocean and her pups were released from the cage, they barked and rushed towards Jia Li and the little bun.


    "Ocean!" Jia Li called out happily as she knelt with her arms stretched out, to wee the Ocean into her arms. Ocean was excited to see Jia Li again after several days.


    Jasmine was not difficult to see, because she had a yground built outside for her so she usually yed with them.


    Avery and Archie went to receive hugs and pats from Jia Li after their mother, Ocean gave them the chance.


    While Jia Li was busy with the grown pups, Jasmine yed with Ocean, after giving her some soft cuddles. Ocean was really being careful as to not pounce on the little girl.

 Chapter 633 - Will Grandma Scold You?

    <h4>Chapter 633 ¨C Will Grandma Scold You?</h4>


    From visiting Ocean and her grown-up pups, the mother and daughter visited the toddler house.


    "Jasmine, shall we cook and clean today?" Jia Li asked with a bright smile.


    "Yes!" Jasmine said excitedly, and not long after, work began. The mother and daughter started cleaning the house by themselves until Fu Hua joined them some minutester.


    After cleaning the house, Jia Li proceeded to show the little girl how to cook instant noodles.


    "Jasmine, this is not healthy." Jia Li said as she held up the packet of instant noodles in her hand.


    "Then why are we making it?" Jasmine asked with furrowed brows. The little girl looked just like her father at this moment.


    Jasmine already knew the meaning of healthy food, and likewise an unhealthy one, so she was very much confused when her mother identified instant noodles as unhealthy, but still wanted them to cook it.


    Smiling, Jia Li said to her, "It is unhealthy, so we don¡¯t eat it often, but there is a way to make it nutritious when we want to eat it."


    "Really?" Jasmine asked.


    "Yes, and I¡¯m going to show you how." Jia Li replied, and then went on to ask, "Are you excited?"


    "Yeah!!!" Jasmine said excitedly with her hands up above her head.


    Fu Hua who was sitting on one side, smiled as he watched the mother and daughter before he was called over. He was in charge of taking out the ingredients from the mini-refrigerator.


    Jia Li showed the ingredients to the little girl, so she could know what they were called.


    Cooking instant noodles took a while because the little bun wanted to help out, and so Jia Li assigned some none risky tasks to her.


    while waiting for the noodles to cook, Jasmine kept pping her hands while gazing at the pot impatiently. She asked when the noodles would be ready about 5 times before Jia Li turned off the mes.


    Before, when Jia Li had brought out 4 packets of instant noodles, Jasmine had asked, "Mummy, we are three, why did you take out 4 packets?"


    Jia Li hadughed and said, "So it will be enough for us. Your daddy and I are adults, so we eat more, and three packets wouldn¡¯t have satisfied all three of us."


    Jasmine nodded in understanding and didn¡¯t ask any more questions concerning it.


    When the food was served, Jia Li passed one of the tes to the little girl, and she said with a big smile, "Thank you, mummy!"


    "You¡¯re wee! Go sit at the dining table." Jia Li said to her.


    Fu Hua would have loved to help the little girl carry her te of food to the table, but Jia Li wanted her to do it by herself. The only thing Fu Hua did was to keep watch over her, so she wouldn¡¯t identally spill the hot food on herself.


    As Jasmine used her fork to pick up some noodles from her te, she leaned in to blow on it before sending it into her mouth.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua watched their little girl with proud smiles on their face.


    "Say, do you think Da Xia will teach her younger ones well?" Fu Hua leaned in to whisper to Jia Li¡¯s ear, for fear that they would have to talk about babies if Jasmine overhears it.


    "I don¡¯t know. I¡¯m just thinking if she will be a strict big sister or a younger-sibling spoiling big sister." Jia Li whispered back.


    The two have seen howmanding and sweet Jasmine could be at times, so they were unsure of how her rtionship with her younger ones would be in the future.


    "I think she can y both roles perfectly." Fu Hua said with a smile, before picking up his fork to eat.


    Looking at her little daughter who seemed to be enjoying the food, Jia Li asked with a soft expression on her face, "Jasmine, do you like it?"


    Jasmine looked up to reply, "Yes, I love it."


    "Good... good... don¡¯t talk anymore, just eat your food." Jia Li said to her. She felt it was wrong to ask the little girl questions while she was eating because of identally choking it, or the food entering the wrong ce.


    After eating, Jasmine thanked her parents before asking with a curious gaze, "Mummy, will grandma scold you for giving me this to eat?"


    "Why would you ask that?" Fu Hua asked from the side in surprise, and here came the little girl¡¯s answer.


    "The other day, grandma scolded Aunt Su for giving me choctes and candies. She said it was unhealthy to eat a lot of it."


    "Oh! Grandma is right, you can¡¯t eat too much of set foods. Also, grandma will not scold your mum, so you don¡¯t have to worry about it." Fu Hua assured her.


    It looks like the little girl was concerned about her mother tying scolded.


    "Really?" Jasmine asked with her gaze on him.


    "Yes, grandma won¡¯t scold your mummy because she made the food, healthy." Fu Hua said, reminding her of the healthy noodles she had just eaten.


    Jia Li had used fresh veggies and fish to cook instant noodles, so it could be considered as healthy and nutritious food.


    After resting for a bit, Jia Li packed the dirty dishes and went them to the kitchen sink, before calling Jasmine over to help her out.


    While she washed the dishes, Jasmine rinsed them off, and Fu Hua wiped them with a piece of clean white clothes, before putting them away.


    From the kitchen to thewn, the family of three took a walk before going into the main house. The rest of the day was spent with Ling helping Jasmine with her homework after she took a nap, and Jia Li and Fu Hua, working in the study.


    Jia Li still had her brand which she was working on. She was still putting things in ce. She took out all her old sketches to assemble something new.


    Some of the old sketches which she has never used anywhere were rebranded. Some things were added to it, which improved them.


    Currently, Jia Li was picking out 10 sketches she was going to work with.

 Chapter 634 - VVIP Tickets

    <h4>Chapter 634 ¨C VVIP Tickets</h4>


    She wanted tounch 10 different outfits at once. She wanted the consumers to see different styles to pick from, so her reason for working on that number. And besides, herunching would be in the festive month, so of course, there have to be different options to pick from.


    After picking 10 sketches to modify, An idea struck Jia Li. She looked up at Fu Hua who was busy at his desk and studied his facial expression, as she was looking for a good timing to tell him about it.


    She wanted to add a family of three collections.


    Fu Hua felt a gaze on him, and from his peripheral view, he saw Jia Li staring at him intently. His lips turned up in a small smile almost immediately, and without raising his head, he asked in a light tone, "Why are you staring at me?"


    ¡¯Huh...¡¯ Jia Li thought as her gaze turned confused.


    Fu Hua dropped what he was doing and looked up to face her with a smile. "I saw you staring at me, do you have something to say to me?"


    "Yes, I have an idea of introducing a family set for two of my designs." Jia Li said.


    "A family set?" Fu Hua asked. "That¡¯s not a bad idea" He continued.


    "Really? that¡¯s a relief." Jia Li said with a relieved smile. She seemed happy, but not until Fu Hua burst her bubbles.


    "I like your idea, but not on your firstunching. That can be on your next collection." Fu Hua said.


    "Why?" Jia Li inquired. He had just said her idea was good and he liked it so why then was he refusing it?


    Fu Hua leaned forward and said in reply, "This is the first time your brand is entering the market, start with something simple, andter, you can make thingsplicated. This is unless you will only be focusing on family wear."


    "I get what you¡¯re saying, big time." Jia Li said while nodding. She understood his point. She can always bring up that concept another time.


    "Good." Fu Hua said and went back to his work.


    Weeks toe, Jia Li partnered with FJ to create her brand. Raw materials were shipped in from outside for the dressmaking.


    The creative arts department was working hand in hand with Jia Li, and every one of them was either busy with Jia Li¡¯s brand, or thetest bags and shoes collections that would beunched in October.


    Heavy publicity was out for it because FJ was known as a brand for female apparel. They have released a bags and shoe line before, but the poprity could not bepared with their female clothing, hence the reason for the heavy publicity.


    In October, FJ released a line of shoes and bags, made of pure leather. The design for the female bags and shoes was focused on women from ages 25-45 years.


    With this line of collection, every young woman wanted to have it. The promotion was great, and even Jia Li helped to promote it, by taking a few pictures of her carrying the bag and posting it on her social media pages.


    The bags were especially expensive, because of the materials used in producing them, and also the designers who made them.


    Around November ending, FJ made an announcement for a new line of collection by Jia Li. The announcement garnered so much attention because of Jia Li.


    Many people were saying that Jia Li had finally debuted into the fashion world, and they couldn¡¯t wait to see her designs.


    In preparation for herunch, Jia Li was involved in the shooting of one of the ads to promote her new collection.


    In the video, she spoke about how she has always wanted to be a designer, and with her parents¡¯ encouragement, she venture into fashion and designing, and finally, after getting deep knowledge about it from FJ, she got the courage to start a line of collection on FJ brand.


    Also in the video, Jia Li was captured sketching on grafts, using the device YingPei got for her, using the sewing machine, and sewing a dress on the mannequin, and finally, helping a model to get into the dress for some snapshots.


    Towards the end, of the video, the date for her clothing lineunch, was put up.


    A heavy promotion was done for her work. On billboards, the name of her clothing line was written, with the date, it would beunched.


    Everyone who had good eyes and interest in Jia Li wished her luck, and couldn¡¯t wait for the day of her clothingunch.


    With the response and feedback FJ was getting from themercials, they already knew thisunch would be a sess, and so, they arranged for models to take pictures in the clothes, and pi turns were taken, waiting for the right moment to be released, to avoid another person orpany, giarizing the work and releasing any one of them.


    Before themercial for the clothing line came out, Jia Li already good her friends about it, and they were all happy for her.


    "Jia Li, I need a special invite for your clothingunch!" Daiyu said excitedly.


    Before the others could make the same requests, Jia Li did immediately, "All of you are getting VVIP tickets for by clothing lineunch, so you don¡¯t have to make any special requests for it."


    As Jia Li made that announcement, her friends screamed excitedly. They even left the video call they were making to dance around. Jia Li couldn¡¯t helpughing out loud as she watched them.


    She didn¡¯t try to stop them from jubting, because they wouldn¡¯t even want to listen to her, so she let them rejoice to her heart¡¯s content, and get back to the call with her.


    "Jia Li, do you really mean this?"


    "Why not, I would never joke with this.. This is just a little of what I can do for you three for being good friends with me, and for taking care of me. I only have to ask you a favor, just make out time from your busy schedules to attend my clothing lineunch!"

 Chapter 635 - Asking Her Out

    <h4>Chapter 635 ¨C Asking Her Out</h4>


    "Jia Li, you are really lifting us and making our heads swell. Even if we don¡¯t have time, we will make out time toe." Dan Dan said.


    Jia Li chuckled softly as she said to them, "Okay then, I will give you notifications if anything crops up, I have to go now."


    "Sure, bye!!!" The three of them said at once as they waved to her. After the call, Jia Li still had a smile on her face, because of how funny her friends were. When she thought back to how they danced earlier, she couldn¡¯t help chuckling hard.


    Fu Hua heard stillughing hard when he walked out of the bathroom. He smiled and asked, "Who is making youugh so much like this?"


    Keeping her phone aside, Jia Li got off the bed and made her way towards him. "My friends. I just told them about my clothing line, and they couldn¡¯t help dancing around. You need to have seen the funny steps they made, I couldn¡¯t helpughing after recalling that scene."


    "If a dance step can make you so happy, that means your joy is so full today." Fu Hua said as he hugged her waist.


    "Yes, I am so happy that any little thing can make me so happy, and I have you to thank for it. The preparation for my clothing line is moving up fast, and there has been no obstruction so far." Jia Li said in a happy tone as she hugged him back.


    Since this precious journey started, things have been moving up well for her, and she couldn¡¯t thank Fu Hua enough for the cooperation she received.


    A mischievous smile crept up Fu Hua¡¯s face, as he thought of something. "Since you are so grateful to me, why don¡¯t you reward me in another way?" He said in a suggestive tone.


    "What other way?" Jia Li asked with a soft expression on her face.


    Fu Hua pointed out his cheek as he turned his face slightly, for the perfect angle to be in her view.


    Jia Li understood that he was asking for a kiss, and she chuckled before tiptoeing and giving him a kiss on the cheek.


    "Satisfied now?" She asked with raised brows.


    Fu Hua nodded in response, and the next moment, he swept her off her feet. A yelp escaped from Jia Li¡¯s lips as he lifted her in his arms, and carried her towards the bed.


    Halfway to the bed, Fu Hua met her questionable gaze and asked with a smirk, "What dirty thoughts are going through your head right now?"


    "Dirty thoughts? Who told you what I¡¯m thinking about now is dirty?" Jia Li asked with a yful smile.


    Fu Hua put her on the bed and climbed in after her. "Your gaze says a lot about that you¡¯re thinking, and I am a good interpreter, so tell me what kind of dirty thoughts are going on in your head?"


    "I¡¯m not thinking of anything dirty, it¡¯s your thoughts that are dirty. Right now, my head is filled with my clothing line, and can¡¯t wait for theunch date!" Jia Li said a little excitedly.


    "If you say so, then I won¡¯t argue with you, but I just wanted to let you know that nothing is happening tonight. I just brought you to bed to sleep early." Fu Hua said.


    Covering herself with the duvet, Jia Li said in response, "Thank you, good night."


    "Good night." Fu Hua replied.


    As the day turned brighter, Jia Li continued to work on her project, until the ads were released, and only then could she take a little break off, while waiting for theunch date.


    From September up till this time, Meixu and Shi Qiao have only seen each other a handful of times, because of their busy schedule. But today, Shi Qiao found out after a call with Meixu that she had free time, he moved his remaining work to the next day, just so he can meet with her.


    These days, the rtionship between them was getting better, especially after apologizing to each other, no guilt remained in their heart.


    "What do you think about dating me?" Shi Qiao asked after mustering courage from drinking a ss of water.


    "What?" Meixu asked with a confused gaze, mixed with a little shock.


    "I mean, I genuinely like you a lot, and I would wish for us to date. Will you be my girlfriend?" Shi Qiao asked with his gaze fixed on her.


    "Are you asking me out right now?" Meixu asked with a bewildered gaze.


    She was really surprised by his way of asking people out. He was so direct that if she didn¡¯t have a better understanding of him, she would have thought he was an emotionless person.


    "Yes, I am. Meixu, will you be my girlfriend?" Shi Qiao confirmed and asked again with more courage. He only hoped at the back of his mind, that he wouldn¡¯t be rejected, or his pride would be hurt, and he wouldn¡¯t know how to face her again.


    Meixu looked him in the eyes to check the level of his seriousness. A few secondster, she asked, "What¡¯s so special in me, why do you want to date me?"


    "Because you are you. I have known you for a while now, so I know most of your good and bad sides, and I ept all of them." Shi Qiao said with a serious gaze.


    Not only had he known Meixu for a while now, but he had also interacted with her and studied her. Telling her his feelings for her, was after he had decided to love her despite her ws.


    Meixu was not expecting this reply for him. She thought he would say some romantic words, but he didn¡¯t. She was indeed surprised, but we confirmed something from his words, he was truly genuine.


    Meixu saw that he didn¡¯t try to sugarcoat his words while confessing his feelings and intentions to her, and that made her feel at ease.


    But what can make this woman who was satisfied some seconds ago, be a bit dissatisfied?


    "Are you usually this unromantic while confessing your romantic feelings?"

 Chapter 636 - A Silent Good Night

    <h4>Chapter 636 ¨C A Silent Good Night</h4>


    "I thought I was being romantic enough by being truthful and honest, was I not? Do you want me to do it all over again?" Shi Qiao asked with a slight frown.


    Meixu justughed over it and said, "Forget it, I ept. I like your honesty, but don¡¯t be too honest and forget how to be romantic."


    Shi Qiao looked around their surrounding before leaning in to whisper, "Does it mean I can kiss you without seeking your permission."


    "What the!"


    Meixu¡¯s reaction was expected since she didn¡¯t know he was going to spew those words. She was shocked and almost whacked him in the face, but his fast reflexes saved him.


    "I¡¯m sorry." She apologized because she didn¡¯t know when she moved her hand.


    "That¡¯s fine! Don¡¯t mind my jokes, I will take your correction and be as romantic as I want to be." Shi Qiao said to her with a smile.


    As their order arrived, thru chatted about their new rtionship status, and how to break the news to their family.


    "I have no problem with that. I can tell my family today, and they will be d that as a grown man, I have decided to settle down." Shi Qiao said.


    "Wait, hold on a bit. Is this called settling down? We just agreed to date each other, and not get married. Dating means, we are trying to see howpatible we are for marriage." Meixu said immediately as she tried to iron things out for him.


    Shi Qiao nodded, "I know, I meant it the way you just out it. My family will be d that I got myself a girlfriend after a while."


    Meixu seemed more at ease now. After dinner, he drove her back home, and before she left his car, she said to him, "You are making me forget that I have a car."


    Smiling, Shi Qiao said to her, "Better get used to it, because there are a lot of privileges you will be enjoying in this rtionship."


    "You are sounding cheesy now. Please don¡¯t forget that no one else can know we are dating until we have told our family about our rtionship first." Meixu reminded him calmly m


    "And we do we get to tell our parents about our rtionship and introduce each other?" Shi Qiao asked interestedly.


    Meixu thought silently for a few seconds before replying, "Let¡¯s give ourselves a week or two, to really get into this. You know this is all new to me, I haven¡¯t dated anyone before, you are the first."


    "What? Are you serious?" Shi Qiao asked in surprise, as he couldn¡¯t believe that he was hearing. Knowing that Meixu was in the entertainment industry, he thought that she would have met a lot of people by now, but who knew that she would still be single.


    "Why are you so surprised?" Meixu asked.


    Shi Qiao shook his head and said almost immediately, "I feel that we didn¡¯t talk about interesting and important matters as this while at the restaurant. Why don¡¯t we go back and finish this up?"


    Meixu chuckled softly with a hand over her mouth saying, "We just passed through these gates, and you want to take me back? You can¡¯t be joking. I¡¯m getting off now, we will finish our conversation some other time."


    As Meixu finished speaking to him, she took off the seatbelt and opened the car door. She was about to get off when she felt a soft cool sensation on her cheek. This caught her unaware.


    She slowly turned her gaze back to Shi Qiao and asked, "Was that your lips that just touched my cheeks right now?"


    "Mmm... I was just wishing you a good night silently." Shi Qiao said with a big smile.


    Meixu was speechless. She just said good night to him and go off his car immediately. She felt he relied brazen to kiss her on the lips when they were in her family¡¯spound.


    There were cameras everywhere, was he not afraid that someone would see them, or they might get reported?


    As Meixu walked away quickly, Shi Qiao smiled while watching her until she disappeared through the doors, before deciding to leave.


    "You really spent a lot of time in that car, who was that?" FangSu asked with a cheeky smile as soon as Meixu stepped in.


    Meixu on the other hand, almost had a heart attack, because she wasn¡¯t expecting anyone to be standing behind her.


    "Are you crazy, you almost scared the hell out of me?" Meixu asked with a hand ced on her chest as she settled down from the fright she had earlier.


    FangSu shrugged, "I didn¡¯t mean to scare you, but anyway, I¡¯m sorry. So tell me, who was that?"


    "Who was who?" Meixu said as she feigned ignorance while walking past her.


    "Are you going to pretend to not know who I¡¯m talking about right now? I was talking about the man that drop..."


    FangSu didn¡¯t get to finish her sentence, because the next moment, Meixu covered her mouth with her palms and pulled her all the way to her bedroom.


    FangSu didn¡¯t just let her pull her, but what could she do when Meixu had many advantages over her? She just let herself get dragged over after losing a fight.


    Immediately they got to her room, Meixu let her go. "Were you trying to get me in trouble or what?" Meixu asked while facing her with a frown.


    "What trouble could I possibly get you into? You were so brazen to let a man drop you off, so what were you scared of?" FangSu asked with a yful smile.


    "You..." Meixu said while pointing at her. After finding the right words, she said to her, "So, do you have to make everyone hear you asking that ridiculous question out there when we could talk things out in private?"


    FangSu¡¯s smile turned even more meaningful as she gazed at her cousin. "You should have told me beforehand that you wanted us to talk in your bedroom, instead of covering my mouth and dragging me over. If you had nails on your fingers, you could have injured me you know."


    "Won¡¯t you have deserved it for being a blubber mouth?" Meixu asked whilst rolling her eyes.

 Chapter 637 - one Day Fall For Someone

    <h4>Chapter 637 ¨C one Day Fall For Someone</h4>


    "That¡¯s no way to talk to an angel like me," FangSu said as she sat on the bed and crossed her legs.


    "Did you just refer to yourself as an angel?" Meixu scoffed. "You¡¯d better not say that to anyone else, otherwise you would get beaten up."


    FangSu frowned and said to her, "What¡¯s wrong about me being an angel, is that wrong! Anyway, this is not important. Tell me who that man is. I¡¯m sure he can¡¯t be just a friend."


    "You¡¯re right, he can¡¯t be just a friend, he can also be a colleague," Meixu said.


    "No, don¡¯t y games with me. Although you¡¯re in the entertainment industry, I know you would never date a colleague, also, you won¡¯t allow him to drive you home, so just spill the truth."


    Meixu who was now tired of beating around the bush finally confessed.


    "You know the man that dropped me off, he is Shi Qiao. He asked me out today, and I said yes. But for now, we can¡¯t tell anyone about it until we are sure of what we are doing." Meixu replied.


    "And how long until you are sure of what you¡¯re doing?" FangSu asked.


    Meixu answered back, "One or two weeks from now."


    "Do you like him?" FangSu asked with a full gaze on her.


    "Why not? Does it look to you that I would date who I don¡¯t have feelings for?" Meixu said with furrowed brows.


    The entertainment industry was indeed not clean, because some celebrities put up a fake rtionship just to garner attention, poprity, and more works, and she knew that thought must have crossed FangSu¡¯s mind, so she was a little unhappy about it.


    "It¡¯s actually a relief that you would one day fall for someone. So, how long have you two gone." FangSu asked excitedly.


    Her question brought Meixu back to the scene of Shi Qiao kissing her cheeks and saying it was his way of telling her good night, silently. With that, she didn¡¯t know when she blurted out, "A silent good night!"


    "What? What¡¯s that?" FangSu asked with a confused gaze because never has she heard of that before.


    Meixu came back to her senses and said, "Forget it! You haven¡¯t given us a clear reason why you decided to cancel the big birthday party you were nning for yourself."


    FangSu uncrossed her legs and replied, "I already said that I wanted Junjie to be by my side on that day, but he got an emergency he couldn¡¯t cancel. And these happened 2 weeks to my birthday. An assigned task he couldn¡¯t turn down. He was unhappy I canceled all the ns I made just because he wouldn¡¯t be there, but he did make it up to me after he returned."


    "You really can¡¯t do without him now," Meixu said while staring at her.


    "I love him so much that I can¡¯t. Sometimes, I just wished that I wasn¡¯t popr, so we two can just do our thing and no one would talk. I wonder how Jia Li is holding up." FangSu said.


    Meixu felt that her mentioning Jia Li out of the blue, was totally off and so she asked, "What has Jia Li got to do with his now?"


    Looking her in the eyes, FangSu said with a slight smile, "My sister-inw cane from a simple background, anding into her family, and because of my brother, her life changed. Now, almost everyone has their eyes on her. I just hope she doesn¡¯t get into any mess because this attention can be poisonous."


    "You don¡¯t need to worry about her, she will be fine as long as she remains herself. Many people like her for who she is, and their love and support won¡¯t change as long as she keeps her spirit the same, and besides, Brother Hua is there to protect her." Meixu said in reply.


    FangSu nced at her with a smile before standing to her feet. "You¡¯d better announce to the family that you are no longer single."


    "I told you I won¡¯t do that now," Meixu replied.


    "I know, but you got to hurry up. But before you announce to the family about your new rtionship status, why don¡¯t you let me check out Mr. Shi for you, you know I¡¯ve got good eyes?" FangSu said with a wink.


    "I can¡¯t believe I decided to have this conversation with you of all people!" Meixu said in an exhausted tone. She was tired of speaking to her.


    FangSu put her hands on her waist and asked in an authoritative tone, "What¡¯s wrong with me? If you don¡¯t talk to me, do you prefer having this kind of conversation with your mother? How about I go inform her on your behalf?"


    "Ya! you know I didn¡¯t mean that. I think you¡¯d better get going, you have stayed too long in my room, and I need to get changed out of these clothes." Meixu said as she nced at her outfits.


    FangSu nced at her outfits and said, "Is my presence hindering you from changing out of your clothes? Tell me what you¡¯ve got that I don¡¯t have."


    Meixu couldn¡¯t believe her ears. She really wanted to open FangSu¡¯s skull to see what it was filled with.


    As she was not saying anything, FangSu took a few steps towards her before saying with a small smile, "I¡¯ve got everything you¡¯ve got, except that you have slightly bigger melons than I"


    "You idiot!!!¡¯ Meixu said angrily as she got to her feet and got ready to hit her, but FangSu just turned around and quickly escaped from the room inughter.


    "Why are you running, you shameless brat?!" Meixu asked in embarrassment. She really wasn¡¯t expecting her to be so direct with her words, or even find trouble with her before leaving.


    FangSu couldn¡¯t stopughing after she left Meixu¡¯s bedroom, because of how embarrassed she was, with her remarks.


    "She really didn¡¯t see thating...." FangSu said as sheughed out loud, as she went down the stairs, but she had to stop when she came face to face with her father, who looked like he wanted to shut her up forever, forughing without manners.

 Chapter 638 - J-mine Clothing Line Launch

    <h4>Chapter 638 ¨C J-mine Clothing Line Launch</h4>


    Because FangSu canceled her birthday ns, Bai Jun did not find a way to carry out her agenda, so it was postponed.


    In the second week of December, Jia Liunched her clothing line. It was indeed a big event, attended by prominent men and women who received the invitation.


    On that day, Jia Li was dressed in one of FJ¡¯s iconic dresses which she designed. Fu Hua got the dress for her, especially for the event.


    Little Jasmine was dressed in a pink-flowered ball gown for toddlers. The little girl looked like a princess which she truly was.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua left early for the event, while the rest of the Fu family members arrivedter in convoy.


    FangSu and Meixu were modeling for Jia Li¡¯s new collections, so they also left for the event¡¯s location on time with their respective agencies.


    The invitation card given out could admit two people at a time, some guests came with their partners and friends.


    The people from the Zhang family were present for this event. Since Meixu had not officially introduced Shi Qiao to the family, it was a given that his family wouldn¡¯t be seen at the event, unless a personal rtionship has been established between both families or a business rtionship.


    Notwithstanding this, Meixu invited Shi Qiao for the event, and he came for it.


    During the event, Jia Li was called to the stage twice to give a speech. The first, was her telling them her story and how she was inspired to create her clothing line.


    The way Jia Li was introduced, caused heads to turn. She was called the young talented fashion designer of their generation, and also the wife to the CEO of FJ Styles.


    Jia Li was a bit embarrassed by the way she was introduced. She felt exceptionally shy when the camera focused on her, and her face appeared on the screen.


    "Do you want me to give the speech on your behalf?" Fu Hua whispered with a teasing smile.


    "Forget it..." Because they were being watched by their guests, Jia Li did not dy for another second before getting off her seat and walking to the stage as apuds came from the guests.


    On stage, Jia Li took the microphone, and just then, Jasmine who was with her grandparents turned her gaze to the stage after Fu Hee told her to look over there.


    Seeing her mother on stage, Jasmine¡¯s eyes lit up and she immediately called out to her, "Mummy!!" Her voice was clear as the weather in spring, attracting the attention of some of the guests who heard her voice.


    At that point Jia Li took the microphone, she seemed to have heard the clear tiny voice of her little girl, and she turned to wave at the little girl, who in turn waved back at her.


    This little action didn¡¯t go unnoticed by the guests. The camera immediately shifted focus from the other important guests in the crowd to the little bun who was excited to see her mother on stage.


    Fu Hua couldn¡¯t help smiling at the cute interaction between the mother and daughter. The guests, couldn¡¯t help smiling as well.


    After acknowledging her daughter, Jia Li began to speak through the microphone. She first started by thanking her husband for insisting that she started achieving her dreams before the years runs out.


    Next, she went on to talk about how she got interested in fashion and designing, and the support she received from her parents while growing up, to actualizing her dreams with Fu Hua¡¯s support.


    From her story, they knew that Jia Li had indeede a long way.


    The next time Jia Li climbed up the stage, she gave a vote of thanks alongside Fu Hua. Jia Li thanked the Fu family for their support, and also the team in FJ who helped her to prepare for today.


    This event was packed with different kinds of entertainment like a runway show, singing, dancing, and a short y.


    The guests for this event were entertained by arts, food, and drinks. There was nothing to regret about it.


    Watching the models in J-mine collections as they walked on the runway, the styles picked the guests¡¯ interest. The styles were slightly different from Jia Li¡¯s usual ways, so it was interesting to watch.


    Jia Li indeed worked hard for her clothing line and coupled with the growth she received from working as a designer in FJ for 3 years, her work looked more spectacr.


    Before the end of the event, every piece of clothing that wasunched was all sold out, and those who wanted to buy had to ce a preorder for it.


    Jia Li¡¯s clothing lineunch was a huge sess.


    From the event ce back to the house, the Fu family continued with the celebration. That same night, the details of the event, appeared in the news.


    The third week of December, FJ Styles held their end of the year workers dinner, where most of them were rewarded and awarded. Of course, Jia Li was amongst the designers to receive the best neer award.


    On Christmas Day, the Fu family celebrated it in full swing. This year, Fu Juan wasn¡¯t present, and she had called to say she wouldn¡¯t join them in the celebration.


    On that same day, Meixu announced that she had a boyfriend, and she was going to introduce him after New Year¡¯s celebration.


    If it had been before, Grandfather Fu would have been moved, but he was not anymore. He nced at all his grandchildren and said, "All of you are saying now, and I think it¡¯s time you start settling down one after the order. I will never allow at of you to date someone for more than 3 years."


    Grandfather Fu didn¡¯t ept the notion that one had to date for a long time before getting married. 3 years was already too long for him, but he just had to fix it as the maximum number for dating.


    Meixu nced at FangSu and said with a smile, "FangSu, I think you should be the first to get married, given that you started dating before any of us."

 Chapter 639 - Lets Make A Baby

    <h4>Chapter 639 ¨C Let¡¯s Make A Baby</h4>


    "Do you think I¡¯m afraid of getting married? Junjie and I are already looking forward to that day." FangSu said with a proud smile.


    "Good for you! Don¡¯t forget that I won¡¯t ept the role of a chief bridesmaid." Meixu said as she picked up her cutlery.


    FangSu scoffed, "Who told you that I would give you that precious role? Anyway, I know you are scared that I would turn you into a servant that day."


    Meixu ignored herpletely and started to eat. Nobody bothered to stop them from arguing, because they didn¡¯t have the time, and also because they were not having a heated argument.


    After dinner on Christmas Day, Fu Hee took Jasmine to her bedroom to tuck her in, while Fu Hua took Jia Li back to their bedroom after the celebration.


    "Why did you pull me out in a hurry?" Jia Li asked with a frown.


    "Because I have something important we need to do." Fu Hua replied as he pulled her into the bedroom and locked the door.


    What kind of important work do they have to do in the room which will also require him to lock the door? Of course, it wouldn¡¯t be something genuine.


    At this point, Jia Li knew that all was not well, and she tried to run into the walk-in closet and lock the door, but Fu Hua knew what she was up to, and quickly stopped her.


    "Where do you think you¡¯re going to?" Fu Hua asked as a yful smile yed on his lips.


    "I just... why did you bring me in here and lock the door?" Jia Li asked as she met his gaze.


    Fu Hua took her hand and pulled her to the bed. Next, he made her sit on it before saying, "Let¡¯s make a baby now."


    "What? Are you serious right now?" Jia Li asked with a questionable gaze.


    "Yes, right now." Fu Hua said as he started unbuttoning his shirt with a smile.


    Never in Jia Li¡¯s life had she seen this kind of man. He was so weird. In any case, he was the first and only man she has ever been with, so she wouldn¡¯t be sure if other men acted like him.


    Jia Li just sat there and watched him take off his shirt before he came to her side to help her out of her clothes.


    "You wait, I will do that myself, why are you in so much rush!" Jia Li said as she immediately stopped him and held his hands.


    "Fine, do it yourself!" Fu Hua said as he let her go, so she could take her clothes off herself.


    This was so weird. Imagine your husband demanding that kind of thing out of the blue, and you have no choice but to give it to him.


    Fu Hua stood there and watched Jia Li take off his clothes, before leaning in and spoiling her with kisses.


    It wasn¡¯t long before he put her in the mood.


    After a long exercise, Fu Hua carried Jia Li to the bathroom and helped her to wash her body before carrying her back to the bedroom.


    "Did you drink something today?" Jia Li asked in a weak voice.


    "Why are you asking?" Fu Hua said as he joined her in the bed.


    "You just suddenly want is to do this, so I was thinking you were asked after taking something." Jia Li said with furrowed brows.


    "YingPei and Ling gave me something to drink. But you know, I have you to quench my thirst." Fu Hua said with a yful smile.


    "You have me, but what about your brothers? Why will you be the only one that is affected by the drink?" Jia Li asked.


    She couldn¡¯t believe the kind of excuse he was giving to her. Now, she wanted to see what more excused he had in stock.


    "I don¡¯t know about them, it is not my concern. Why do you look annoyed? I didn¡¯t injure you or stress you. And I stopped when you asked me to." Fu Hua said to her as he brought her into his arms.


    Jia Li turned easy from him andined, "You didn¡¯t stop when I first asked you to. You told me we would go for another round before you finally agreed to stop."


    "But I still stopped after that round, what difference does it make?" Fu Hua inquired.


    When Jia Li got tired and asked him to stop, he said he would do that after another round, which he didn¡¯t see anything wrong with.


    "There is a very big difference! What if I had fainted? Wouldn¡¯t you have been worried?" Jia Li said with a big frown.


    "Why are you being so petty tonight? I know your body better than you, and there is no way I would bully you in bed to the point of fainting. I am very proud of you that your stamina has improved greatly. It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t be so petty, we are trying to make another baby." Fu Hua said as he brought her back to her chest and kissed her face.


    Jia Li fought her freedom saying, "Don¡¯te so close to me, we are both naked. I wonder which couple sleeps naked."


    "What is wrong with sleeping naked? It is actually veryforting, and besides, we do this sometimes." Fu Hua said as he held her closely, refusing to let go.


    "We only sleep naked on nights when we are exhausted. This night is different, you refused to let me put on my clothes even when I had the energy for it." Jia Liined.


    "If you have the energy to put on your clothes, that means we can go for another round, what do you say?" Fu Hua teased.


    "I¡¯m going to sleep, good night." Jia Li said as she closed her eyes and totally ignored him. She really couldn¡¯t stand his shamelessness.


    Fu Hua chuckled to himself and hugged her more tightly, which wasfortable enough for her. The next morning, Fu Hua didn¡¯t let her get out of bed on time until they had finished with another round of lovemaking.


    While showering, Jia Li asked herself, "Does he want another child that badly?"

 Chapter 640 - Last Person To Be Saved

    <h4>Chapter 640 ¨C Last Person To Be Saved</h4>


    A new year began with a new atmosphere. The Fu family remained at peace with each other. They chatted, ate, and celebrated in harmony.


    Meixu ended up inviting Shi Qiao to the Fu Family¡¯s house officially after Grandfather Fu asked for him.


    Grandfather Fu cared about his grandchildren, and always wanted to know who they were dating, not minding if they would end up together or not.


    Shi Qiao was given a warm wee by the Fu family members, and finally, he got to see what they were like in private.


    At first nce, Fu ChuHua appreciated Shi Qiao, and when she got the chance to pull Meixu away in private, she said to her, "You really got my good genes."


    "How?" Meixu asked with her gaze focused on her smiling mother.


    "You¡¯ve got good eyes, you managed to pick up a young good looking man from a good background. This is exactly how I picked up your father." Fu ChuHua said as she chuckled with a hand over her mouth.


    "You picked up Dad?" Meixu asked with an unbelievable expression on her face. "Don¡¯t let grandfather or dad hear you say that, or you might be in big trouble."


    "Why, am I wrong? Is it only men that can pick updies? Women can also make good choices themselves." Fu ChuHua said with an unapologetic tone.


    Meixu sighed and said, "The way you said it, had a different meaning. It was as if you really targeted Dad because of his family background."


    Fu ChuHua did not say anything again, she looked away with her hands folded below her chest area.


    "Thanks for yourpliment, but I ha e to go back in there before anyone finds out that you brought me out here for gossip," Meixu said before going back into the sitting room.


    After exchanging pleasantries and chatting for a bit, Grandfather Fu invited Shi Qiao to join them in the dining room, but he declined, with the excuse that he needed to go back home to have dinner with his family.


    Meixu had to say to him in a gentle tone, "Don¡¯t reject the goodwill of my grandfather."


    Shi Qiao smiled and finally epted to stay back to have dinner with them.


    After Shi Qiao left, FangSu got the opportunity to have a conversation with Meixu.


    "Wow! So that¡¯s the man you like? Can you tell me how you got to like him?"


    "Why do you want to know about my love story?" Meixu asked.


    FangSu found hernguage usage funny and couldn¡¯t help chuckling out loud. "Did you say your love story? Well, it doesn¡¯t make much difference, it¡¯s just that it¡¯s weird that you actually love someone."


    "How is it weird for me to like someone? Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s weirder for you to like someone?" Meixu questioned with furrowed brows.


    She didn¡¯t understand the reason she was beingughed out for loving someone, or is love a specific kind of clothing that doesn¡¯t suit everybody?


    FangSu leaned in to say with a small smile on her face, "Do you want us to draw a questionnaire so the fans can tell us who live fits between the two of us?"


    "Not funny!" Meixu said and started to work away.


    FangSu immediately followed after her while asking, "When are you making the public announcement concerning your rtionship status?"


    "Why are you concerned about my matterstely?" Meixu asked with stopping in her steps. Her voice didn¡¯t sound concerned or curious either. It was more like she was just asking an unimportant question.


    "Because I love and care for you with all my heart," FangSu said with a big smile. She didn¡¯t feel that she was shameless by lying head-on.


    Meixu scoffed and said, "You are really shameless! Not a member of our family will trust what you just said now because we all know ourselves."


    "Is it so hard to believe me? Wow! You really don¡¯t believe that I can change!" FangSu said with a tinge of regret in her tone. The regret in her tone was obviously faked, as she was pretending to be pitiful.


    Meixu stopped in her steps and turned around to say to her with a straight gaze, "If everyone in this family were to be drowning, and I¡¯m asked to save everyone, you will surely be thatst person I will help out of that water, don¡¯t you know?"


    FangSu shrugged, "I¡¯m not surprised... that¡¯s a given! I will also do the same if I were to be in your shoes. I will save youst because you are the least person I love in this family."


    Meixu was left dumbfounded by her words. She just stood there and gazed at her wordlessly, not k owing what to do with her, or how to reply to her.


    For a second, she almost took her words seriously, almost forgetting how crazy and annoying she could be at times.


    FangSu saw her staring at her wordlessly, and couldn¡¯t help asking in a low tone, "Why do you look speechless? Don¡¯t tell me that you don¡¯t believe me! Meixu, you¡¯ve got to know that I won¡¯t lie. Although you are thest person I will save, it doesn¡¯t mean that I don¡¯t love and care for you."


    Watching FangSu spew those words with that faked worried look on her face, Meixu felt like stitching up her lips, but she ended up turning around and walking away with a word leaving her mouth.


    FangSu just smiled and watched Meixu walk away, after annoying her to being speechless.


    "I guess my skills are improving!" She said out loud.


    "Yes, they are increasing, but don¡¯t get into trouble because of it!" Jia Li said with a smile behind her.


    FangSu got a huge scare when she heard the voice from behind her, but when she saw it was Jia Li, she rubbed her chest and said with a painful facial expression.


    "Sister-inw, do you that you almost caused me a heart attack? I¡¯m still too young for that."


    Jia Li smiled and took a few steps closer to her.. "If you stop looking for trouble, why would you care about having a heart attack? You wouldn¡¯t be one if you don¡¯t bring trouble to yourself."

 Chapter 641 - Bai Familys Loss

    <h4>Chapter 641 ¨C Bai Family¡¯s Loss</h4>


    "How long have you been standing there?" FangSu asked as she stood properly and brought her hand away from her chest.


    "Not long enough to hear your conversation with Sister Meixu." Jia Li replied.


    FangSu gave her a scrutinizing nce as she asked, "Are you sure about that?"


    "Why are you asking, don¡¯t you believe me?" Jia Li asked with a small smile.


    "No, I believe you." FangSu finally said with a big smile on her face. The next second, a tiny childish voice was heard...


    "Mummy! I asked you to wait for me." Jasmine said as she quickly walked over with Butler Lu holding his hand.


    Jia Li nced over and saw her little one with an annoyed expression on her small chubby face. Smiling, she stretched out her hand to her.


    Jasmine immediately went over to take her hand, as she thanked butler Lu for bringing her over.


    "Da Xia!" FangSu said with excitement as she walked towards the little girl.


    "Jasmine, why don¡¯t you let Aunty Su take care of you, I will get a little rest ande back for you?" Jia Li asked the little girl.


    "But I want to y..." Jasmine said as the frown on her face, spread.


    "You want to y? I will y with you,e let¡¯s go." FangSu said as she took the little girl¡¯s hand.


    Jasmine gazed at her before letting go of her mother and following her out. Jia Li sighed in relief once the little girl was out of sight. She has wanted to take a short nap when the little girl asked her toe to y with her. Luckily, FangSu was not busy to apany her.


    A few dayster, a piece of bad news was heard from one of the previous big families in the country, and it was no other than, the Bai family.


    Although the Bai family had relocated to another country, some people were still on the lookout for them. The Bai Family wasn¡¯t trending, but definitely, some people still checked out on the day to know how it¡¯s going for them.


    Since a day before, there has been a rumor going on on the inte, about a family member dying. Presently, some people got more information ain¡¯t the demise of one of their family members and confirmed that it was the olddy that died.


    The circumstances surrounding her death were not known yet, and the Bai family were yet to make any public announcement concerning it.


    "Dad, have you seen the news?" YingPei asked as he walked into the sitting room.


    Fu Lei looked up with furrowed brows. "What news?"


    "Have you heard about the Bai Family?" YingPei asked as he came to sit on the couch next to the one he was sitting on, still with an unbelievable facial expression.


    Fu Lei was beginning to get annoyed with YingPei, for beating around the bush. As someone who has been in the army for more than half of his life, he hated the method YingPei used to approach concerning a matter. He was very straightforward, and it has now be a part of him.


    YingPei seemed to have noticed that his father was very annoyed instead of curious, and so he went ahead to quickly give the full gist to him.


    "There are rumors going all over the inte about Old Madam Bai¡¯s death."


    "Since when?" Fu Lei asked with a slight frown.


    "People have been talking about it since yesterday," YingPei confirmed.


    After a few seconds, Fu Lei looked away from him and asked, "So, what do you want me to do about it? Do we have any business with the Bai family presently?"


    YingPei was speechless. He thought his father would show a little concern because at least, the Bai family used to be a close friend to theirs, but it looks like he had met the wrong person to talk about them.


    "I¡¯m sorry..." YingPei said sheepily and got from the couch, intending to leave but was stopped for a little suggestion from his father.


    "I don¡¯t care about the Bai family, but your grandfather may still be a littlepassionate towards them, so you can go ahead and meet him."


    YingPei smiled and left straight for Grandfather Fu¡¯s study, but he was told the old man was at thewn.


    ¡¯Even grandfather can seek for some air.¡¯ YingPei thought as he went outside to thewn to find his old man.


    Immediately he saw him sitting on thewn under a huge umbre with the dogs around, YingPei made his way there.


    "What problem do you have today?" Grandfather Fu asked when they met face to face.


    "Grandfather, do I look like someone who will only bring you troubles? I came here for something I¡¯m, and it¡¯s not about me." YingPei said.


    The old man was used to him alwaysing to ask for something, and it¡¯s always about himself, so he thought it was the same today.


    At this moment, Butler Lu who had stepped out for a moment returned.


    "Grandfather, have you heard about the rumors making rounds on the inte concerning the Bai family?" YingPei asked.


    Grandfather Fu seemed very calm after he mentioned the Bai family, and unexpectedly, he didn¡¯t go on to ask what the rumors were all about.


    From the side, Butler Lu replied on his behalf. "Young master YingPei, we have just confirmed of Old Mrs. Bai¡¯s passing, and have passed our condolences to the Bai family."


    "Huh? already?" YingPei asked in surprise. Butler Lu nodded with a calm gaze as YingPei nced back at his grandfather.


    "Grandfather, I came to tell you about this, but it seems that you are way ahead of the rumors on the inte. Then, I will take my leave." YingPei said with a slight bow before turning around to leave.


    After he left, Butler Lu came to stand in front of the old man. "The first son of the Fu family said he would give you a date did the burial of Old Mr.. Bai, and he hopes you would out away the anger you have for them, and attend the burial ceremony."

 Chapter 642 - A Good Friend

    <h4>Chapter 642 ¨C A Good Friend</h4>


    "Tell them, that I will be in attendance." Grandfather Fu¡¯s response came after a few moments of silence.


    The next day, the Bai family confirmed the passing of their family¡¯s matriarch. The public moaned with them and looked forward to weing them back to burial their mother.


    The next week, the Bai family returned to bury old Mrs. Bai. It was a given that some prominent families graced the burial ceremony, as the Bai¡¯s had no fight or disagreement with any of them before leaving.


    Bai Jun ruining their reputation was the only thing that forced them to leave.


    As for Bai Jun, many spected if she would attend her grandmother¡¯s burial, and some even messaged her, asking about it, but she totally snubbed them.


    When the Fu family were asked if they had invited anyone from Bai Fen¡¯s family or either invited Bai Fen herself and Bai Jun, they said that they would not invite them, as they were no longer a part of the family.


    For being the perpetrators that destroyed the Bai¡¯s reputation, they were forbidden to go anywhere near them.


    When Bai Jun saw the response, she snorted and said to herself, ¡¯As if I would want to be near any of you.¡¯


    Old Mrs. Bai¡¯s burial was sessful, and the Bai¡¯s we¡¯re grateful that the Fu family came to offer their condolences and to give them moral support, for which they were truly grateful.


    A few days after Old Mrs. Bai had beenid to rest, the Bai¡¯s left the country again, but before then, they had a deep conversation with Grandfather Fu.


    "Do you not n oning back again?" Grandfather Fu asked while giving a nce to the remaining members of the Bai family especially, to the first son, as he was now the head of the entire family.


    The man nced back at the old man and replied respectfully, "How can we return when we don¡¯t have anything left here?"


    "You still have something here, and it¡¯s very important that you should at least hold on to it." Grandfather Fu replied.


    Bai Jun¡¯s father asked, "What is it, General Fu?"


    Grandfather Fu released a such before responding to that question, "You still have memories here. Don¡¯t leave this ce because of the troubles others caused for you. Your family has a deep memory here, and I believe that you can¡¯t just ignore it."


    "Sir, you are right, but given our current situation, we can¡¯t afford to stay here. We can¡¯t even afford to buy a big home for our family, as our new business hasn¡¯t grown to the level to afford it." The third son of the Bai family replied.


    Grandfather Fu said almost immediately, "I am not going to tell you what to do, but I just want to let you know that, you still have your mansion intact. I bought it from the businessman you sold it to, so you can always have it back."


    This sudden revtion came as a shock to the entire Bai Family as they never would have expected that the old man would buy their home back for them.


    Grandfather Fu did this out of the bond between him and his dearestte old friend, old Mr. Bai. He helped not grudge for the Bai¡¯s so he wanted to help them by at least securing their home back for them.


    The Bai¡¯s were truly grateful for the old man¡¯s kind gestures. It was as if he knew that they regretted selling their home which held such great memories to them.


    Grandfather Fu didn¡¯t need them thanking him, and in other to stop them from doing that, he had to threaten them.


    "I would truly be unhappy if you keep thanking me."


    After saying that to them, he signaled Butler Li toe over with the things in his hands, which happened to be a big envelope.


    Grandfather Fu took it from Butler Lu and passed it to the first son of the Bai family.


    "Here is the document to your Bai family¡¯s mansion, and the keys are in there. Any time you change your mind toe back, you will have a ce to stay, and no more house renting."


    The Bai family couldn¡¯t help thanking the old man again after epting the big gift he had just bestowed on them.


    "General, our Bai family can¡¯t thank you enough for the sacrifices you have done for us, and for your bug heart for amodating us even in our wrongs. We thank you, and we promise toe through for the members of the Fu family in the of need."


    This time around, Grandfather Fu received their heartfelt gratitude, before personally seeing them out the door.


    Now back to his study, Butler Lu said to the old man, "Sir, the Bai¡¯s forever remember the help you have offered to them. Even your dearest friend, Mr. Bai will surely be in tears of joy wherever he is."


    Grandfather Fu was quiet for a moment before replying in a sad tone, "Bai is indeed lucky to have me as a friend because I¡¯m truly the best. It is not easy to meet and have that one friend that will stay through for you, through thick and thin. And I have always existed for my children and generations toe, to have one at least one friend like me."


    Grandfather Fu has always been a strong one, and it was rare to see him emotionally like today. Even his Butler was touched and was almost moved to tears, but he had toport himself.


    "Sir, I supposed that you are worried about your children and grandchildren. You really want them to have a good friend like you, who will always be on the lookout for them whether they are there or gone." Butler Li said as he identified the old man¡¯s worry.


    Grandfather Fu heaved a sigh. "I know this world is full of betrayal, but I hope they find the right people as friends.. Because having a good friend who is with you in the time of need is better than a brother who would note through for you."

 Chapter 643 - The Old Mans Worries

    <h4>Chapter 643 ¨C The Old Man¡¯s Worries</h4>


    "I am not sure of my grandchildren and the kind of friends they keep, so that¡¯s the reason I try to bring everyone together, per a venture they encounter any troubles they would always have a family to help them, because of the bond."


    Grandfather Fu has truly worked hard to make his family united, and that was one of the reasons, and the foremost, he allowed his second son to move back to the family house.


    This was also one of the reasons he wanted Fu Hua to move back in to stay for some time, and he truly wished the family will continue to be together even after he was gone.


    Grandfather Fu didn¡¯t use to be like this in the past. He once had simr traits to his first son, but he was more benevolent, and that was the reason Fu Hua although was cold to outsiders, he was still loving to his family.


    Grandfather used to have less time for his family as he was always very busy in the military, so his wife, FJ, was left to run and keep the family together. But when he lost his wife, he had no other choice than to take over, and try and work hard to keep his family together.


    As years went by, Grandfather Fu grew more lonely, and so he had to still keep himself busy with military work, while also making sure that his family stayed together.


    Getting older, Grandfather Fu¡¯s workload reduced greatly, so to get out of loneliness, he had his little great-granddaughter to apany him sometimes. He had the strawberry garden to take care of. He had a dog to work, and he had some friends to see.


    In everything, Grandfather Fu did try to keep himself a little busy, so he wouldn¡¯t be that lonely when no family member had time for him when they have their own busy schedule to tend to.


    "Sir, it would be good if we don¡¯t talk about these things. I¡¯m sure your family will be okay in the future because your lessons have made a great impact on them." Butler Lu said from the side. He didn¡¯t want the old man to get emotional, so he tried to stop him.


    Grandfather Fu sighed and returned to his active state.


    "Check on Da Xia, if she seems a little free, tell her that I want herpany, then arrange her favorite dessert and bring it in at once. If she has an assignment, she can bring it along since she is so interested in her bookstely."


    Seeing the old man¡¯s smile, Butler Lu smiled as well and left to find the cute little ball of happiness.


    Jasmine was seen ying with her toys and when she learned that her great-grandfather needed herpany, she jumped up immediately and ran towards his study, with Butler Lu rushing quickly behind her while asking her to slow down.


    When Jasmine came into the study, she ran to the couch to give her old man a hug. Grandfather Fu embraced her before asking if she had any assignments to do, but she said she had done them all.


    Grandfather Fu was in a little dilemma and didn¡¯t know what activity to do with the little girl. He was afraid he could bore her, but luckily, Butler Lu came up with an idea, and that was to y some games with her.


    In the middle of ying with her, the little girl¡¯s favorite snacks were brought for her, which ted her.


    Back in the bedroom of a young couple, they were happily chatting away.


    "I think I need to take a shower right now, I feel so hot." Jia Li said as she got off the bed.


    "I was about to say that, how did you know what I had in mind?" Fu Hua asked with a surprised gaze.


    Jia Li climbed on the bed and leaned over to say after gazing into his eyes for a few seconds, "Liar."


    She said that and wanted to turn away, but Fu Hua grabbed her arm and she came tumbling over him. She didn¡¯t even have the time to say anything to him before her mouth was blocked with a deep kiss.


    Fu Hua was not gentle with his kisses in any way, he kissed her like this was theirst moment together. And not only was he just kissing her, but his hands were also working wonders.


    He turned Jia Li over and climbed on her while continuing with his wild kisses, as his left hand went from her waist to her boob. As he squeezed it gently, Jia Li let out a moan.


    To this sudden action, Jia Li was very submissive. She received his kisses wholeheartedly and even returned them.


    While kissing and touching her wildly on the bed, Jia Li did the same as well and even reached out for his belt.


    Hungrily, she unhooked his belt as he unsped her bra while her shirt was still on her.


    Now that her boobs were somehow free, Fu Hua could put his hand inside her clothes and reach out to them. And as he felt them with his hands, he got more aroused, and couldn¡¯t help squeezing them.


    Jia Li let out a soft moan as her fingers clutched his member. As she teased him with her fingers, he let out a groan and let go of her.


    "You are really naughty." He said while panting. Not giving her a chance to reply, he removed his belt and unzipped his trousers.


    "Take your clothes off." Hemanded, but Jia Li was deliberately not being cooperative. She shook her head with a smile, rejecting hismand.


    "I see that you want to be punished. So tell me, what kind of punishment do you want, Ma¡¯am?" Fu Hua asked as he pulled his briefs down to his knees before spreading her legs and kneeling between them.


    "One that will pleasure me." Came Jia Li¡¯s reply.


    "Fine, I will give you what your heart truly desires." Fu Hua replied before leaning and trailing kisses from her thighs down to the....

 Chapter 644 - Planning A Surprise Proposal

    <h4>Chapter 644 ¨C nning A Surprise Proposal</h4>


    Do you know what news has been making rounds on the inte recently? Don¡¯t think it has anything to do with Meixu, because she and Shi Qiao have got different ns altogether.


    Zhang Junjie was the subject of interest recently, over his birthday ns which he nned to make big this year. He was gonna turn 30 at the end of February, and although a birthday celebration was not his thing especially when ites to his, he hadn¡¯t much choice.


    He didn¡¯t have a choice but to make it grand, because his girlfriend asked him to.


    FangSu said that her big birthday ns were canceled and on the day of his birthday, they would be both free, so why not celebrate it and make it grand?


    "It¡¯s not just women that have to make things big, men can do the same as well, so you don¡¯t have to worry about beingughed at." This was FangSu¡¯s words to Junjie.


    She was kind of right, but Zhang Junjie had every reason to reject her idea since that was not possible, but something crept up his head, and he decided to take an advantage of his supposed birthday party for something else.


    Now everyone was talking about Zhang Junjie¡¯s birthday party, and how that day was going to be a turn up for the socialites in the city.


    While this was going on all over the inte, Fu Hua¡¯s birthday came up, and he literary went to the length of having a vacation with his wife and daughter on a small ind, somewhere.


    While the family of 3 was away, Zhang Junjie carried out his ns.


    The weather in February was still at -¡ãC and so, very cold or you can say it was literally freezing.


    The evenings were especially cold, but that didn¡¯t bother Zhang Junjie for today, he went to a jewelry store to find something.


    After taking a look at the rings that were locked up in the showcase, Zhang Junjie was a bit dissatisfied, so he said to one of the shop attendants, "Can you show me all the rings you have in store?"


    This was not a weird request from a customer, but the attendant had a different suggestion.


    "Sir, instead of bringing everything we have to you and having you go through all that trouble of finding something to your taste, why don¡¯t you tell us what you want."


    "I think that¡¯s a good idea." Zhang Junjie said with a relieved smile.


    "Okay, Sir, let¡¯s first get started on what kind of ring you are getting..." The attendant said with a professional smile.


    Zhang Junjie was now more popr thanks to FangSu¡¯s influence, so he was recognized anywhere he went.


    Somehow, one woman who just happened to be looking for a perfect ne to spend ¡¯her¡¯ money on, saw Zhang Junjie at the ring section. She became very curious and was watching from that distance.


    At first, she didn¡¯t think I was Zhang Junjie, but in other not to let any big fish pass in front of her and regretseter, she had to watch him closely only to discover that she was totally right.


    "What is he doing at the ring section?" Bai Jun asked herself in a low tone while keeping a straight gaze at Zhang Junjie.


    Bai Jun was watching him until an attendant walked up to her and got her attention.


    "Excuse me, Miss, are you lost, or do you need help?"


    Bai Jun rolled her eyes at her and asked, "Why do you think I would need your help?"


    The attendant was offended and fired back at her politely, "You seemed to have your attention elsewhere."


    "Oh please, I don¡¯t need your help, I can¡¯t get around this store myself." Bai Jun replied and turned her face to nce back at Zhang Junjie only to discover that he was gone.


    Zhang Junjie, along with the shop attendant had disappeared and this made Bai Jun angry as she beloved that she had missed a huge scoop.


    "Is he here to get a ring or to y around with one of the female attendants? Whichever one it is, I really have to find out somehow!" Bai Jun spoke out with a worrisome gaze before fixing a death re on the attendant who refused to leave her side.


    Before Zhang Junjie had left with the shop attendant, he had told her of the kind of ring he wanted, plus the request she had no choice but to carry out, just to help him.


    Currently, Zhang Junjie was sitting in a lounge, exclusively belonging to the VIP members.


    "Please can you make sure no onees in here while I¡¯m still here, please I really do not want this on any tabloids?" Zhang Junjie said with a smile to the attendant, who assured him of that.


    "Mr. Zhang, please can you go on to tell us Miss FangSu¡¯s personality, or what you think she might like?"


    In conclusion, Zhang Junjie was there to pick out an engagement ring for FangSu, because he had ns of surprising her with a marriage proposal at his birthday party.


    He didn¡¯t want people to see him buying a ring, because gossip would be so easy to start flying around, so he asked the attendant to take him to the VIP lounge.


    After picking the perfect engagement ring, Zhang Junjie got up to leave, but he remembered something and turned to the people that attended to him a while ago to ask...


    "In case someone really did see me here today, what would you tell them that I came to do in case they asked?"


    "Simple, you came to make a preorder for one of our next jewelry that would being in." One of the attendants replied.


    "Thank you for your wonderful services, and I will do well to rmend this ce to my friends." Zhang Junjie said with a satisfactory smile before leaving.


    As for Bai Jun, she didn¡¯t get the opportunity to ask questions, because she was thrown out some minutester.

 Chapter 645 - A Little Clash

    <h4>Chapter 645 ¨C A Little sh</h4>


    Why was Bai Jun thrown out of the jewelry store?


    Obviously, Bai Jun didn¡¯te to buy any jewelry because she didn¡¯t have that kind of money to throw away on brand-name items like nes, earrings, wristwatches, or bangles.


    She was still free-loading off Mark, and currently, she had a thought monthly budget she had to follow otherwise she would have to eat instant noodles or starve till her next pay check.


    But, what was she doing in a jewelry store if she couldn¡¯t afford it, why was she thrown out?


    In other to keep up with her lies on social media about still being able to afford things for herself and take care of herself, she had toe up with new tricks every day just to fool as many people as she could.


    One of the tricks was toe into a high-end store, take so many pictures with her in different clothes, and end up buying only one, or not even buying any at all after giving severalints.


    Another trick was to get into jewelry stores like this and pretend like she wanted to get something. She would pick whatever she liked and allowed the shop attendants to try them on her, next, she would secretly take pictures of any of the jewelry on her body with her camera shutter and lights off.


    Obviously, Bai Jun was performing one of her tricks before she was caught and respectfully asked to leave before a threat came of security being called on her.


    Bai Jun was shameless but she still didn¡¯t want to be embarrassed as she still wanted to go far with her facade, so she had no choice other than to leave humbly.


    After spending four days away from home, the family of three returned to the country. Jasmine went back to school, while Jia Li and Fu Hua returned to work.


    Jia Li was already working on her next collection, and she nned to release it before FJ¡¯s Autumn Fashion show.


    She has spoken to Fu Hua about it, and her new release would also be disyed on that day, so she has got to work hard and put all her efforts into it.


    As this two young couple in work did their best at work, they also continued trying to have another child on the bed back at home.


    A few dayster, Bai Jun figured out of what might be the reason she saw Zhang Junjie at the jewelry store and right at the ring section. He was preparing to propose.


    It wasn¡¯t easy for Bai Jun¡¯s head to boot if not for the fact that Zhang Junjie¡¯s birthday was fast approaching, and the buzz online increased every day that passes by.


    Zhang Junjie was having a birthday party soon, and he had just gone to the ring store. His party was the perfect ce and date to make a romantic proposal.


    Immediately ai Jun got this idea, she picked up her phone and angrily dialed Mark¡¯s contact.


    "When the hell do you actually n on bringing your ass back to China?"


    "Hey! Keep your voice down, you don¡¯t talk to me like that, and also raise your tone at the same time. What do you want?" Mark asked from the other end of the phone.


    Bai Jun replied angrily, "You don¡¯t have the right to tell me how to speak to you. The love of your life who you are not even putting an effort to bring back into your life, will be proposed to in a few days, and by that time, it would be toote for you to y any games, and don¡¯t you dare ask for my help or ask me to return all the money you spent on me, because that¡¯s not going to happen!"


    "She is getting married? It wouldn¡¯t be a bad deal if shemits adultery after getting married..." Mark said as he chuckled hard.


    "Do you think you can have ess to her once she is engaged or even married? You will be used meat if you get close to her because Fu Hua would immediately know that you will be up to no good, and then he will kick your ass, and please forget I ever came into the picture by that time." Bai Jun said ruthlessly.


    She was still scared of Fu Hua¡¯s ruthless side, and she knew she could get into a lot of trouble if she was ever caught messing with any of the Fu family members again.


    She would be as good as dead if Fu Hua finds out about it.


    "What are you scared of? I thought you were brave?" Marked asked in a taunting tone.


    "I am brave, but I dare not act carelessly like a moron who wouldn¡¯t think properly and weigh situations before acting!" Bai Jun replied.


    Mark was quiet for a while before asking breathlessly, "Are you in any way calling me a moron? Do you want me to cut off your life support so you can go live in the gutters and beg like a beggar that you are? Do you really want to be punished for being rude to me?"


    Bai Jun scoffed, "It looks like your male ego and pride is getting ahead of you, and I can see one of the reasons your white a** was dumped. Zhang Junjie¡¯s birthday party will be happening in 6 days. If you are still interested in chasing FangSu, then you have to be in China in 4 days so we can co clue our ns. In the meantime, send me a signal for your seriousness by sending me every evidence that stands a chance to prove that you and FangSu had been together in the past."


    Without saying goodbye, Bai Jun disconnected the call and threw her phone on the bed before going to her desk to turn on herptop.


    "Did this b*tch just hang up on me?! Who the hell does she think she is?!"


    Mark went berserk after Bai Jun spoke so disrespectfully to him, and hung up on him He was so angry with her rude behavior.

 Chapter 646 - Avoiding Jasmine

    <h4>Chapter 646 ¨C Avoiding Jasmine</h4>


    "Sister-inw, do you minding shopping with me? Like, I need your help..." FangSu said with a sweet smile. She wanted Jia Li to help pick the perfect outfit for her.


    "You want me to be your stylist?" Jia Li asked smiling back at her.


    FangSu nodded, "Yes, I trust your fashion sense a lot, so I hope you would help me get ready for my boyfriend¡¯s party."


    "That¡¯s no problem, give me twenty minutes to get ready." Jia Li said before taking the steps.


    It was an easy task helping FangSu out for the party. She was happy to be entrusted to be her stylist.


    Soon, Jia Li got ready to leave her bedroom after getting dressed, and she almost ran into Jasmine who was running towards her.


    "Mummy, are you going out?" Jasmine asked with her gaze on her. Seeing her mother dressed not so casually, prompted her to ask that question.


    The little girl was observant and was able to tell when someone was dressed to go out after seeing their outfits.


    "No, I¡¯m going to see your daddy, do you know where he is?" Jia Li asked with a warm smile.


    How could Jia Li tell her that she was going out? It¡¯s not like she wanted to hear, ¡¯Mummy I want to follow you!¡¯


    Jasmine pointed behind her saying, "In the study. Mummy, let¡¯s go there together." As Jasmine said that, she took her mother¡¯s hand and pulled her towards Fu Hua¡¯s study.


    When Fu Hua saw Jia Li dressed up with her bag, he opened his mouth and was about to ask the same question Jasmine had asked her earlier, but Jia Li shushed him on time.


    "Darling, can you keep an eye on Jasmine, while I pick out some outfits for FangSu?" Jia Li asked.


    This way, Jia Li has already told Fu Hua where she was going to, while at the same time, she made it look like she was going to FangSu¡¯s bedroom.


    "Sure..." Fu Hua said with a smile before ncing back at the little girl and asking her toe to his side before she could ask if she can follow her mother.


    "Princess,e and help daddy pick some materials."


    Since her father had called her for something more interesting, Jasmine left her mother¡¯s side and ran to his side.


    Once the little girl was sitting on his thighs Fu Hua waved at Jia Li, signaling her to leave. Happily, Jia Li left the study and rushed downstairs to where FangSu has been waiting for her.


    "Sister Meixu is noting with us?" Jia Li asked as they walked out of the house.


    "She is not around. Since she introduced Mr. Shi formally to the family, she has been very busy going on dates and with her schedule as well. Also, don¡¯t forget that she has a penthouse." FangSu said with a naughty smile.


    "She has a penthouse?" Jia Li asked with a little surprise. She didn¡¯t seem to know that Meixu had an apartment somewhere.


    FangSu unlocked her car and got into the driver¡¯s seat, with Jia Li getting into the front passenger seat.


    "I can¡¯t believe you didn¡¯t know. The penthouse is like her escape zone. When she is tired of seeing our faces in this house, she retires there." FangSu said with a soft chuckle.


    Jia Li smiled, "If I didn¡¯t know you that well, I would have believed you. You really have a way with words."


    When the duo got to the high-end store, they were taken to the VIP section. FangSu had already booked the ce for 3 hours, so the two of them can rx and make choices without being worried about time, and people.


    "Get me all of FJ¡¯s collections fromst year, including my sister-inw¡¯s collection," FangSu said to the attendant before turning to wink at Jia Li who shook her head with a smile.


    Soon, tea and snacks were brought for them, along with the collections FangSu asked for.


    "Sister-inw, the clothes are here, pleasee quickly and help me pick two different outfits," FangSu said while pping her hands excitedly.


    "What kind of birthday party are you going to? Where is the location?" Jia Li asked.


    "A club," FangSu replied immediately.


    "My collections won¡¯t be good for that kind of party, so leave it aside." Jia Li said as she got to her feet and walked towards the clothing racks that were wheeled into the room.


    "There is no problem, I can just pick one from your collection as my second outfit," FangSu said with a smile.


    Since Jia Li¡¯s clothingunch, she has only gotten one of the outfits from her collection, and she nned to get another one so she can wear it to a conference she had outside the country by next month.


    Jia Li didn¡¯t take that much time before she picked some clothes for her, and while doing that she asked some questions.


    "What kind of makeup will you be putting on, have you made our choices yet?"


    "Show me the hairstyle for the party."


    With her reply, Jia Li was able to pick five clothes for her to try on.


    "Try them on, let¡¯s see which one best suits you."


    Each outfit FangSu tried on, was paired with a bag and a shoe, and so, it took over an hour for her to try everything on, before going to join Jia Li on the sofa.


    After downing a cup of tea, FangSu said to Jia Li who was watching with a smile, "Which outfit do you think suits me more?"


    "Let¡¯s see..." Jia Li said while going through the picture one of the attendants helped FangSu to take.


    After a minute contemtion, Jia Li picked one for her.


    "What a relief," FangSu said with a sigh of relief.


    At the end of their shopping, FangSu who said she only wanted two outfits, ended up picking two more from the FJ collection.


    What could Jia Li say to her? Absolutely, nothing.


    From the high-end store, FangSu dragged Jia Li to go pick out some jewelry, before going to the spa.


    "You know it will take us almost 2-3 hours to get out of here?" Jia Li asked when they stepped foot into the spa house.

 Chapter 647 - Are You Pregnant?

    <h4>Chapter 647 ¨C Are You Pregnant?</h4>


    "Don¡¯t worry, we won¡¯t take that much time, because I¡¯m getting hungry already. At least, the snacks we were served in those stores would be enough for the spa duration." FangSu replied.


    In the high-end clothing store, they went to, they were served tea and snacks. At the jewelry store, they were also served some snacks and tea as well if not, they would have been very hungry and exhausted.


    Jia Li followed FangSu in, and after her reservation was confirmed, they were taken to the inner room and given clothes to change into, before they were brought into the room to get their facials done.


    After enjoying an hour of facial spa, they were given some massages, and Jia Li was most grateful for that because she really needed it.


    On their way to a restaurant, FangSu said to her, "You really need toe to the spa for massages at least two times a month if you don¡¯t have time."


    "Even if I get some time off, will that little gummy girl let mee out without her?" Jia Li said with a sigh. FangSu couldn¡¯t help chuckling softly.


    "You think is fun?" Jia Li asked with furrowed brows.


    FangSu couldn¡¯t stopughing, but she managed to say this in-betweenughter, "I think Da Xia is so adorable, and who wouldn¡¯t want a beautiful girl like her?"


    "Just wait till you be a mother. You will find out that your child wouldn¡¯t have anything to do with adorable when he or she annoys you." Jia Li responded.


    All children were adorable, most especially from far. The parents of the children are the only ones enduring their good and annoying times.


    When the children and beginning to piss their parents off, at that moment, they are no longer seen as adorable, but annoying, so that¡¯s what Jia Li was trying to say.


    "If Da Xia is a handful, why are you trying to have another child?" FangSu asked.


    Jia Li smiled and said in reply, "Children are adorable."


    FangSu couldn¡¯t help pointing at her whileughing hard. She couldn¡¯t believe she would give that reply afterining only a moment ago.


    Jia Li was scared she would cause an ident, so she said to her in a hurried tone, "FangSu, please keep your eyes on the road, I haven¡¯t reached the peak of my sess yet."


    FangSu burst out intoughter and ended up parking before she could cause an ident. She only started driving again when she had full control of her emotions.


    "I bet you¡¯re not hungry, or you wouldn¡¯t beughing that hard. Where did you get your strength from?" Jia Li asked with her gaze on her.


    "I have a lot of stamina and I¡¯m used to not eating a lot, so..."


    Jia Li nodded and fixed her gaze back to the road.


    FangSu nced at her and turned her gaze back to the road. She had a personal question to ask, so she cleared her throat and got ready to ask that question.


    "Sister-inw, are you sure you are not pregnant?"


    "Pregnant? Because I¡¯m hungry?" Jia Li asked.


    "Oh! sorry!" FangSu apologized immediately and faced her front. She didn¡¯t dare you to make any otherment until they got to the restaurant.


    On their way back home, Jia Li couldn¡¯t helpmenting on how they spent their day.


    "You really spent a lot of money on the different VIP sections we used today."


    All the ces they entered, they used their VIP section including the restaurant. FangSu indeed spent a lot of money today.


    FangSu answered with a confident smile, "Some days, spending my money to take care of myself, makes me happy, and besides, I am not afraid of being broke. This is one of the advantages of being thest child of a wealthy family."


    "Your confidence is without a doubt." Jia Li replied.


    FangSu was thest child of a rich family when it came to their generation. She had a rich grandfather, father, and brother. She also had a good job that earned her thousands of dors each month.


    Even if she mistakenly spends all her money, her family would be there to help her. She also had two cousins who had their own money, so of course, she had nothing to worry about. And let¡¯s not talk about her rich boyfriend.


    "Sure. Also sister-inw, in any case, I go broke and Ie to ask you for money, won¡¯t you help me out?" FangSu asked, despite knowing the answer.


    "Why won¡¯t I help you?" Came Jia Li¡¯s response.


    Two dayster, Marknded at the airport and Bai Jun went to bring him in a rented car. After they had gotten into the car, Bai Jun stretched overhand out and demanded the money she used to rent the car.


    "Why should I pay for it?" Mark asked.


    "Because it¡¯s your responsibility. I wouldn¡¯t have spent my money on it if it were not for you, so pay up or I won¡¯t start this car." Bai Jun threatened.


    Mark snickered before his facial expression turned serious threat minute. "It looks like we have been too casual with each other that you have forgotten what I¡¯m capable of."


    "I didn¡¯t lose any part of my memory. I just don¡¯t want to spend the little money I have left on you." Bai Jun replied.


    Markughed because she said she had only a little money left. "I thought you had lots of money, because the other day, you posted so expensive jewelry you got for yourself."


    Bai Jun got annoyed and said to him angrily, "Is it fun to make jest of me? You are asking a stupid question when you know that I don¡¯t have any other source of ie apart from you."


    "You are relying on me and still living a fake life, what will happen to you when I¡¯m out of your life?" Mark asked.


    He really wanted to know what her response would be.. Since she got out of prison, he has been the one taking care of her.

    <h4>Chapter 648 Zhang Junjie makes a formal visit to Fu Hua</h4>


    "And that is the reason I won''t use the money I earned to sponsor you. You now have to pay for everything single thing yourself." Bai Jun said.


    She hase to realize that if Mark achieves his goal, he would no longer be supporting her. If he is out of life, she will no longer have any support. And because of this, she would make Mark pay for everything he needs.


    Not even a dime of her money will go out for free.


    Mark chuckled and nced at her, "I won''t pay for the car hire, instead I will foot all your bills from now till I leave China."


    "Will you still give me my monthly payment?" Bai Jun asked.


    If he was not going to give her monthly pay, then there was no need for him not to pay for the car hire.


    "Sure. Do we have a deal?" Mask asked with a smirk turned up on his lips.


    "Deal!" Bai Jun said as she turned on the car''s engine and drove them away from the airport.


    Now that they had a fair deal, she had also agreed to let go of his debts. The money that will be used to cover her expenses for the duration of his stay, will be enough to cover his debts.


    The same day that Marknded in China, was the same day that Zhang Junjie went on a formal visit to FJ. He went with his birthday invitation card to formally invite Fu Hua to the event.


    Fu Hua knew he wasing, so once he set foot into thepany, he was directly taken straight to the floor Fu Hua''s office was located. And from there, Zimo took him into Fu Hua''s office.


    When Fu Hua saw him, he paused his current work, putting all papers aside.


    After Zhang Junjie had greeted him, Fu Hua pointed to the sofa for him to sit over there, before joining him soon.


    "What did youe for? A personal or a business matter?" Fu Hua asked as he crossed his legs.


    A small smile appeared on Zhang Junjie''s face as he brought forth a bottle of expensive wine and an invitation card.


    "I came for a personal visit. I know it''ste, but I wanted to formally invite you for my birthday party this Saturday."


    Fu Hua took the invitation card from him while replying, "I already told you that I won''te. I want to rest on that day."


    "I know you said so, but I still want you toe because your presence is very important. This won''t be just a birthday party for me." Zhang Junjie said while at the same time, hinting at something.


    "Oh!" Fu Hua eximed in a low tone. "What other event will take ce?" Fu Hua asked with an interested gaze on him.


    "I am going to propose to Susu on that day. I already got the ring a few days ago." Zhang Junjie revealed. Next, he put his hand in the inside pocket of his suit jacket and took out a small box.


    "You are going to propose to FangSu, does she know about it?" Fu Hua asked as he took the ring box from him and opened it.


    "No, she is not aware of my ns because it is a surprise. We have already talked about marriage, and she is ready to settle down with me." Zhang Junjie said.


    There was no way he would propose to FangSu if she was not ready for marriage. The two had talked about marriage in their conversation, and they were both okay and ready to settle down.


    "You really know my sister''s taste. She likes shy jewelry." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    "I put much thought into selecting the ring because I do not want to give her something she wouldn''t like even though she would ept it." Zhang Junjie replied.


    Fu Hua returned the ring to him with a smile. "I have seen your invitation card, I will consider it."


    Before Fu Hua didn''t think too much about it because he thought it was a normal birthday party. And besides, he nned to take a long rest. Now, things had turned around, he would have to consider making an appearance.


    Some minutester, Zhang Junjie thanked Fu Hua and left.


    When Fu Hua can''t back home that day, he couldn''t keep his eyes off FangSu who was oblivious to her boyfriend''s ns.


    When she saw that he was free, she even came to remind him about it.


    "Brother, please try and free up your schedule from 6-8 pm on Saturday, I really want you toe for my boyfriend''s birthday celebration. It would be good if you sure your support this way."


    "You even have the guts to call Zhang Junjie your boyfriend instead of calling him by his name." Fu Hua said with his hands in his trouser pockets.


    "I have to be proud while acknowledging our rtionship." FangSu insisted.


    Fu Hua sighed and said while walking away from her, "I will think about it."


    FangSu screeched in happiness.


    ''Why is she so happy when I only said I would think about it?'' Fu Hua thought to himself.


    Meixu drove Mark straight to the hotel she reserved for him and escorted him straight to his room.


    Meixu did not leave until she has had dinner and gotten a transfer from him for the hotel reservation.


    "When do we go on with our ns?" Mark asked.


    Bai Jun checked her phone before saying, "I wille tomorrow by 9 am, keep my share of breakfast."


    Marked waved at her before going into the inner room.


    When Fu Hua returned to her apartment, she called someone and asked if the pictures she sent had been printed in the number of copies she requested.


    The person gave her positive feedback, and the caused her to smile. She went on to give out the address for the parcel to be delivered.


    The next day, Bai Jun went to the hotel to meet Mark, along with a big envelope. When she met him eating his breakfast, she sat down and joined him shamelessly, and Mark had to order for more.

 Chapter 649 Clash

    <h4>Chapter 649 sh</h4>


    Mark caught sight of the big envelope in her possession and asked as he looked away, "What do you have there?"


    "The pictures you sent to me." Bai Jun replied.


    "You mean the pictures of FangSu and me?" Mark inquired.


    "Yes. I made a few copies of them." Bai Jun replied.


    Mark paused with his breakfast and demanded, "What are your ns?"


    Bai Jun chuckled softly and made Mark a little impatient with her silence before deciding to reveal her ns.


    "We are storming FangSu''s boyfriend''s birthday party tomorrow, and we are going to give them these gifts."


    "You mean giving out these photographs to their guests? Would it work?" Mark asked with a frown. He had some doubts as to whether Bai Jun''s ns would work.


    "How do you expect the effect to be immediate? But something will surely happen. I saw Zhang Junjie at the ring section in a jewelry store, and I think he is nning to propose to FangSu tomorrow, and that''s if he hasn''t proposed already." Bai Jun revealed.


    Mark was truly bothered by now after hearing that Zhang Junjie was nning to propose to the woman he wanted to win back into his life.


    "It would be good if he hasn''t proposed, we have to stall for time," Mark said.


    "Then you have to put in more effort." Bai Jun said with a serious gaze on him. She didn''t just want the nned proposal to be paused, she wanted it to be canceled forever.


    "FangSu has been dating Zhang Junjie for 2 years now, and the time she has spent with him is way longer than the 3 months she spent with your so you should know that you are in for."


    FangSu only spent 3 months with Mark before she found out who he really was, and so she left him. She has been dating Zhang Junjie for 2 years now, which was way longer than the time she spent with Mark so obviously, the bond she shared with her now-boyfriend, was stronger than the former.


    Mark thought for a while before replying, "I know what to do. Your ns will store the engagement ns, and during this period they would be apart, I would use that opportunity to infiltrate and try to win FangSu back."


    "Good, now here is how tomorrow will be... The party will kick off by 6 pm at XXXXX club, so we have to be there before time to be allowed entrance. Otherwise, we would never make it in there." Bai Jun said with furrowed brows.


    "I''m very confident that even if weete, we would be allowed entrance. Have you forgotten my identity?" Mark said with a confident gaze.


    As if just realizing Mark''s real identity, Bai Jun rxed with a big smile on her face.


    "Surely, your identity will give us a pass. And I don''t have to worry about being denied entrance, because a lot of people hate me." Said Bai Jun.


    After listening to Bai Jun''s n of disrupting the party early, and the role he would y, Mark couldn''t help asking...


    "How did you find out about the venue and time for Mr. Zhang''s party?"


    Mark was very curious about her means as he began to think if she also had some connections now.


    Bai Jun chuckled and said, "I am very smart."


    Mark scoffed and picked up his cup of coffee to drink from it. "As if!"


    "You can make fun of me all you want, but you can''t deny that I am smart."


    "Says the woman who was sentenced to prison because of her foolishness," Mark said unapologetically.


    Bai Jun''s face twisted with a frown because of his words, and she didn''t bother to hold back and made jest of him as revenge.


    "Am I the only young person who has been in jail? Even with your background, you still went to jail."


    Mark was not angry with her, instead, heughed out loud. "We are very different and can never bepared with each other. I was in jail for 2 months, but I nevercked anything. It looked just as if I was on a house rest. What was my difort? I put on jail clothes and stayed there for 2 months without seeing the light of day."


    If Bai Jun wanted topare their experiences in jail, she would fail outrightly.


    As Mark said, the only difort he had, was staying indoors for 2 months while in the prison uniform.


    Bai Jun felt insulted and speechless and ended up revealing how she found out about the venue and time for Zhang Junjie''s birthday party.


    It turned out that because of her ns, she has been working so hard towards it. When the rumors about Zhang Junjie''s birthday party started spreading, Bai Jun saw the perfect opportunity t carry out their ns.


    So what did she do? She knew if she was around the people from the same social circle she used to be in, she would surely find out more details.


    With that knowledge, she kept watch for the young socialites in high-end stores and ces they were likely to frequent. Bai Jun would go to those ces and pretend she would want their services, just to eavesdrop on the young socialites, and atst, her hard work paid off.


    When she finally learned of the time and venue, she jumped excitedly.


    After hearing her exnation, Mark gave her des for her smartness. "You are indeed smart."


    Bai Jun rolled her eyes and continued with her breakfast. She didn''t need his praises after his insults.


    "As an apology, you are going to pay for my outfits and makeover for this party. And before you decline, just know that we wouldn''t be allowed led entrance if we don''t dress in the appropriate outfit." Bai Jun said to him.


    Mark sighed, "We are going shopping in the afternoon. Also, you need to cut down on your greed. I am not going to get you any designers and expensive things, so just take note of it."


    Bai Jun scoffed and continued to it.


    Back at the Fu vi, Fu Hua just mentioned about Zhang Junjie''s birthday party to Jia Li...

 Chapter 650 Ready for the party

    <h4>Chapter 650 Ready for the party</h4>


    "Are you going?" Jia Li asked with a questionable gaze.


    "Yes." Came Fu Hua''s reply as he took off his cufflinks and made his way into the walk-in closet. Jia Li followed him immediately.


    "I thought you wanted to rx the whole of Saturday?" She asked.


    "Mmm... but I changed my mind after Zhang Junjie came to FJ." Fu Hua said while taking off his tie and throwing it on the couch.


    Jia Li picked up his necktie and put it inside theundry basket. "He is really so nice bying straight to your office to invite you formally after rejecting him on phone."


    "There is another reason to my agreement. He came to my office with the ring he wants to propose to FangSu with. He sure has a good taste." Fu Hua said with a small smile as he proceeded to unbutton his shirt.


    "What? Are you serious?" Jia Li asked for confirmation. She was really surprised with Zhang Junjie''s ns for a surprise engagement party sh birthday party, which will be a big deal.


    "That guy is so thoughtful. Because he wants to surprise my sister at his birthday party, I have decided that we will be there. Let''s go see that look of surprise on that little girl''s face." Fu Hua said with a smirk.


    Jia Li was truly surprised by his childish reason. Any normal sibling would want to celebrate with his sister, but he was going for the fun of it.


    "I can''t believe you could be so childish."


    Fu Hua took off his shirt and went on to unbuckle his belt while replying, "Do you want to know what else I can do?"


    "No thank you. Please take your shower quickly so you can give me 5 minutes of your time before dinner." Jia Li said as she picked up his shirt and put it into theundry basket before leaving the space.


    Currently, at the Zhang Vi, Zhang Junjie was starting at the same engagement ring he got from the jewelry store. He was looking at it with a slight smile on his face as some pictures popped up in his head.


    He was imagining FangSu''s reaction to the surprise engagement party being thrown for her. In fact, this was not only going to be a surprise for her, but also to their friends.


    "FangSu, I''ming." Zhang Junjie confessed with a smile as his fantasies ended.


    Finally, the next day being Saturday came. And soon, it was 5 pm already, and most of the Fu brethren were getting ready for the party.


    Meixu who has been away from home for a few days now returned and was also getting ready for the party.


    "Is your boyfriending?" FangSu asked.


    "Yes, I asked him toe to show some support. Why did you ask?" Meixu confronted as she applied a nude-colored lipstick on her lips.


    "No reason in particr, but I was worried about you being fed dog food, so I needed you to have apany." FangSu joked.


    Meixu didn''t take her words to heart. Instead, she smiled and asked, "How old am I to ept being fed dog food?"


    "I''m d you wouldn''t have been affected. I will join you in your car." FangSu said to her.


    "Why would you join me in my car? Do you know the time I would want to go to your party? If you want to bete for your boyfriend''s party, wait for me." Meixu said as she smacked her lips.


    "You shoulde on time because we are going to kick off the party by 6. If you are not going now, why would you be dressed now, I mean it''s still early with your logic." FangSu stated.


    Meixu closed her lipstick and put it back in its container before saying to her, "Yeah, I dressed so early because I''m going to have a chat with my boyfriend and he ising to pick me up in 12 minutes."


    "I see, it''s always so nice to have your boyfriend pick you up for an activity or event despite having your own car," FangSu said with a big smile.


    Soon, the two Fu sisters left the Fu mansion in their boyfriend''s cars.


    As for Fu Hua and Jia Li, they just started to get dressed now. They two have been busy in their study, so it took them some time to round up.


    Before Jia Li and Fu Hua coulde out of their rooms, YingPei and Ling were ready to leave, but they got dyed because of their conversation which made Jia Li and Fu Hua catch up with them.


    "What about your girlfriend?" YingPei asked as he checked Ling out. He was looking at his choice of outfit. A suit?


    Long was adjusting his tie when this question was asked. His fingers paused for 2 seconds before he continued with his actions. "Why are you asking about her?"


    "You know, she would have good you that it''s weird going to the club in a business suit for a casual event. Did you think you were going to a birthday party to meet some investors?" YingPei asked with a grin.


    "Well, I don''t have a girlfriend now, we broke up," Ling replied.


    YingPei looked away from him saying, "Well, you can always patch things up. Some broken things are also useful."


    "What do you mean? You don''t understand the kind of rtionship we shared." Ling said with scrunched-up brows.


    "Well, it is exactly because I do not the kind of rtionship you have with your ex-girlfriend or fake ex-girlfriend, that I''m saying this," YingPei replied.


    If he knew exactly what kind of rtionship they had, he would be in a better position to advise him.


    Soon, Jia Li and Fu Hua walked in on them. YingPei and Ling were not exactly surprised to see that Fu Hua agreed to go to the party but at his choice of outfit.


    They had thought that someone like him who only cares about business, would be dressed in a business suit, but he was dressed casually. Or let''s say he made an effort to make his outfit casual.

 Chapter 651 Party Crashers

    <h4>Chapter 651 Party Crashers</h4>


    Fu Hua was only putting on an elbow-length shirt with jeans and a pair of ck shoes.


    Seeing the surprised gaze of his brother and cousin, Fu Hua''s brows creased in a frown. Then he nced at himself and seeing nothing wrong, he asked, "Why are you two staring at me like that?"


    YingPei had to give a reply, "We were not expecting you to know the right way to dress for this club party. I bet it wasn''t you that made the choice because I know you."


    After YingPei pointed this out, he nced at Jia Li with a smirk, "Sister-inw, I''m sure you helped him out with his outfit. That couldn''t have been easy."


    Jia Li smiled and pointed out how effortlessly it was for her.


    "It wasn''t difficult getting him to change from this outfit," She said while pointing at Ling, "To something close to this." She continued as she pointed at YingPei.


    "Oh, I see..." YingPei and Ling eximed at the same time.


    "If we keep standing here, we are going to be veryte, and that wouldn''t look good as big brothers that areing to show their support." Fu Hua said as he took Jia Li''s hand and led her out of the house. YingPei and Ling followed suit.


    Outside the house, Zimo was waiting for them. Fu Hua had called him to drive him to the party as he nned on drinking a lot bit. But even with a little bit of alcohol, he didn''t n on driving.


    As Zimo drove Fu Hua and Jia Li out of the house, YingPei and Ling followed in their sports cars.


    At the club, the party just got started. FangSu''s friends and Zhang Junjie''s friends were already present in therge VIP room that was booked for the party.


    The decorators really needed a round of apuse for the birthday decorations with a tip of a club vibe.


    Loud music was ying and Zhang Junjie took FangSu''s hand and lead her to the dance fall. These two have been dating for a while now, so they were not shy about dancing in front of their friends.


    Meanwhile, Bai Jun and Mark were already in the club, and thanks to theiring earlier, they didn''t have to go past the security in front of the hallway leading to the VIP big room where the party was ongoing.


    "I think it''s time to show up! Everyone is having a good time now, let''s ruin everything." Bai Jun said as she waved the big envelope in her hand.


    Currently, the two were sitting in a small VIP room Mark had paid for.


    "I think it''s time. I know you want to get your revenge by separating FangSu and her boyfriend, and I also want the same thing because want FangSu back to my side. I just hope your words and actions in there won''t make FangSu hate me the more." Mark cautioned.


    He knew Bai Jun''s goal, so he had to warn her early enough before he ruins an opportunity for him.


    Bai Jun replied with a smile, "She already hates you, and if more hate is added, it doesn''t make a big difference, but rx my aim is to sow a discord between those two lovers.".


    Herst sentence totally kicked away Mark''s ns on scolding her.


    Soon, the two of them were on their way to the room the birthday party was happening. Since there was no one standing at the door, they opened the door and went in.


    Soon enough, Bai Jun''s presence was noticed, including Mark who was standing beside her with his gaze on a particr person on the dance floor.


    "What? Is that Bai Jun, what is she doing here?"


    "Did FangSu invite her, are they now friends?"


    "FangSu would never make up with her."


    "Then how the hell did shee in here?"


    FangSu was still dancing with Zhang Junjie and was still unaware of Bai Jun''s presence. It was when she and her boyfriend changed their positions and faced the door, that they saw they weed guests.


    FangSu was more shocked on seeing Mark than Bai Jun.


    "What the???" FangSu eximed with her mouth agape.


    "Did you invite them?" Zhang Junjie asked with a big frown sitting on his face.


    "Why would I???" FangSu asked, almost angrily at the situation in front of her.


    "Then I will call the security!" Zhang Junjie said and whipped out his phone to make a call, but Bai Jun spected his actions and walked towards them with Mark.


    "Hold on for 2 minutes, and we will be out. We came here for something very important." Bai Jun said with a big smile while exchanging nces with the pissed-off FangSu and Zhang Junjie.


    FangSu scoffed and asked, "Do you know I could have you arrested for intruding into our privacy, because obviously, you don''t have an invitation card, so get out!!!"


    Bai Jun found her words funny. "Why are you in such a hurry to send us away, you should calm down, and the sooner the better. And if you have us arrested, your boyfriend here will take care of the matter with a snap of his fingers."


    Because of Bai Jun''s presence, the guests'' attention was attracted, and they couldn''t helping closer to find out the reason she was there.


    Meixu was also present and was chatting with Shi Qiao, was also surprised to see Bai Jun and Mark whom she didn''t recognize.


    "Is that not Bai Jun? And who is that man beside her? What are they doing here?" Shi Qiao asked with borrowed brows?


    He too was very surprised with their presence, given the bad history between them and the Fu family.


    "Obviously, these two are on a mission to crash this party, let me go deal with these party crashers," Meixu said as she got up with her nce of wine and walked towards the crowd.


    "Miss Bai are you nuts for addressing my ex-boyfriend my boyfriend?" FangSu asked with a death re.


    "Is he your ex-boyfriend, the..." Zhang Junjie started saying, but Bai Jun cut him off.


    Fixing her gaze in FangSu, she asked, "I can''t she mistaken! You didn''t break up with Mark before running down to China, so he is still your boyfriend."

 Chapter 652 Party crashing I

    <h4>Chapter 652 Party crashing I</h4>


    Fixing her gaze on FangSu, she asked, "I can''t be mistaken! You didn''t break up with Mark before running down to China, so he is still your boyfriend."


    "I have seen that you are here to cause trouble, and I am going to deal with you for crashing my party over some baseless usation," FangSu said to her before turning to Mark to say, without giving any space to talk.


    "And you Mark, can you be proud to tell everyone here that you were doing drugs and hid it from me, and not until you were arrested by the police did I find out your secret."


    Mark wasn''t expecting that FangSu would reveal his secret, so he was tongue-tied, but luckily, he had Bai Jun there to turn things around.


    Bai Jun scoffed and said to FangSu, "Why are you trying to change the topic? If you are talking about your boyfriend''s secret, are you trying to tell me that you never had any idea about it? Are you sure the reason you abandoned him, was not because he was found out by the police because you were so into him back then?"


    FangSu couldn''t believe her ears. The usation was too much and she was very angry, so lifted her hand to p Bai Jun, but Zhang Junjie held her back.


    "Are you trying to hit me? Let me tell you that I am no longer the same person you knew before, and you can''t just hit me whenever you feel like it. Be careful of getting sued for assault!" Bai Jun said while rolling her eyes at her.


    She felt that now that she had Mark on her side, and with his help, she could sue FangSu for assault, and even drag into a bigger mess.


    While thismotion was ongoing, Shi Qiao quickly whipped out his phone to make a call at a secluded corner, while Meixu walked up behind Bai Jun and Meixu.


    Without any notice, Meixu quickly snatched the big envelope in Bai Jun''s hands, which came as a shock to her (Bai Jun) and to the surprise of others.


    As the envelope was taken from her, Bai Jun tried to snatch it back, but Meixu handed it to someone else and pushed Bai Jun away.


    "Look at this reckless fool. You storm into someone''s party uninvited, and instead of begging for forgiveness and leaving, you are trying to crash the party, I mean, which intelligent fool can do this?"


    Meixu''s entrance was a shock to Bai Jun more than Mark who didn''t know who Meixu was. Bai Jun was not expecting any member of the Fu family to attend Zhang Junjie''s party.


    Also, she has had a sh with Meixu in the past, and she knew how tough she was, so she was a little scared of her.


    "Who are you?" Mark asked with a frown as he faced Meixu with a sinister gaze.


    Meixu smiled at him and answered, "Hello, drug addict, have you had your medicine today?"


    Meixu''s way of greeting was very funny and interesting, so much that the angry FangSu joined the others tough.


    This insult was a big disgrace to Mark, who wasn''t expecting to be shamed by Meixu right after FangSu exposed his secret to everyone.


    "Meixu, do you know who he is? I doubt you will still stand there to talk after finding out who his family is?" Bai Jun said with a smug look after regaining her stance.


    Mark seemed to have gotten a foothold after Bai Jun said that for the next moment, he said to Meixu, "That''s right, you don''t know who I am, so I will let this slide, otherwise, you would have been in a big trouble because I do hold grudges!!"


    Meixu scoffed after staring at him like he was a big idiot.


    "Dear drug addict, what I know is that you and that wench that is ying with your brains, are in for a big shit if you don''t leave here this minute. And I don''t care who your family is, because they can not bepared with the Fu family. I heard your family is rted to the state government in the States, but guess what, we are rted to a bigger shack, so I think you should go back home to do your assignments!!"


    At this point, Bai Jun stepped in. She couldn''t stand the fact that Meixu appeared from nowhere to ruin her well-crafted ns.


    "Fu Meixu, if you were a good person, you should be advising Mr. Zhang here not to marry your cousin as she is a woman of questionable character. I''m sure there is still some humanity left in you, and it would be good if you stop her from destroying someone else''s life!"


    "Bai Jun, enough of your nonsense and get out of here if you don''t want to appear on the news in a more fashionable manner." FangSu threatened angrily. She really wanted to hit Bai Jun in the face, but her boyfriend was still holding unto her tightly.


    "I will leave, but after exposing your true character." Bai Jun said with a triumphant smile. She was getting more and more arrogant because she felt that Zhang Junjie would really rethink his actions of proposing to FangSu.


    After not seeing any ring yet on FangSu''s finger, she concluded that the proposal hasn''t yet happened, otherwise, there would have been a ring, and FangSu would already be showing it off to the media, so she wanted to seize this opportunity to end things before it even started.


    Meixu smiled and said while exchanging nces with Mark and Bai Jun, "Actually, you should just be truthful for once in your life and say that you cane to crash this party because then, I would shake your hands for being courageous, but you are a coward."


    "Whatever you choose to call me, go ahead. But it will not stop me from saying what I want to say!." Bai Jun said.


    Zhang Junjie who had been quiet all this while, finally said to Bai Jun, "What other nonsense do you have to say? I know all about FangSu''s past, and even if there is more that I don''t know, I would never ask you for help, so get out of my party right now!"

 Chapter 653 Disturbing Facts

    <h4>Chapter 653 Disturbing Facts</h4>


    While Zhang Junjie was saying that, Shi Qiao gave someone a sign to go out and call the bodyguards, and the person left sneakily.


    "Mr. Zhang, you are truly naive! FangSu is a two-faced bitch! She causes trouble intentionally, but the next moment, she turns into a swan." Bai Jun said with gritted teeth.


    "I don''t care, she is a hundred times better than you who wouldn''t repent even for a second." Zhang Junjie said. Now that he hase to know Bai Jun''s real intentions, he couldn''t let this slide.


    He just discovered that Bai Jun''s true intention was not to ruin his party but to sow discord in his heart, and stop him from being with FangSu.


    If it was about Mark, he already knew about him, because FangSu has told him everything concerning her past and Mark.


    Mark who had been quiet, was very angry, and it could be seen from his face. What was he angry about?


    Mark was angrier with Bai Jun than with anybody in that room. Yes, they nned something, but what he could see, Bai Jun was here for herself, and he began to reflect on himself.


    He was regretting following Bai Jun here, because now that everyone knows Bai Jun''s intentions, he can never be together with FangSu, and he came never get close to her because she already knew his intentions as well.


    Bai Jun on the other hand, still wanted to give Zhang Junjie reasons he should not associate with FangSu anymore, but just then, three security guards walked into the room and quickly made their way towards them.


    "Take these people away and throw them out of here!" Zhang Junjie said while pointing at Bai Jun and Mark.


    Immediately, the three bodyguards got a hold of them, but Mark shrugged off the hands that were put on him.


    "Don''t put your hands on me, I will see myself out!"


    Mark wasn''t allowed to go out of that room a free man. Two of the bodyguards held his arms and pulled him away, while the other bodyguard, dragged Bai Jun along.


    Even while being pulled away, Bai Jun didn''t back down. She still said to Zhang Junjie as she was still being pulled out of the room.


    "Zhang Junjie, you are making a big mistake by being with a woman like FangSu. You deserve better!!! She already has you wrapped around her fingers, so you can''t see clearly!"


    "Thank you, and it is nice being wrapped around her fingers!" Zhang Junjie said in reply with a calm gaze.


    "You!!!" Bai Jun said angrily for she was not expecting that kind of reply.


    Her ns have failed!!!


    At the same time that Mark and Bai Jun were being dragged out of the room, Fu Hua, Jia Li, YingPei, Ling, and Zimo made their way towards the VIP area.


    Now, these five people, met these two people at the door, to the surprise of everyone.


    Bai Jun who was acting arrogantly some minutes ago,pletely melted with Fu Hua''s appearance. Fu Hua was thest person she was expecting to be present at Zhang Junjie''s party. He was the same man that sent her to jail, and right now, he had caught her red-handed trying to crash his future brother-inw''s party.


    Wouldn''t she be in real shit this time around just like Meixu jar said earlier?


    With Fu Hua''s presence, the bodyguards stopped and waited for Fu Hua and his entourage to pass through the door first, before pulling Mark and Bai Jun out of the room.


    Because Fu Hua didn''t take a step further into the room, nobody moved an inch, and quickly the people inside noticed his appearance. Surprise and relief filled their hearts.


    Bai Jun tried to hide her face, but it was toote because Fu Hua just spared her a millisecond nce before moving he gave over to Mark.


    After staring at Mark for a second, Fu Hua''s face turned stern before moving his gaze to Zimo.


    "Is he the Mark you talked about?"


    Immediately he asked that question, Mark and Bai Jun who was still held by the bodyguards froze.


    Did Fu Hua know Mark? How did hee to know Mark? Has he found out about their ns?


    There were some of the questions that were going through Bai Jun''s head.


    "Yes, he is," Zimo replied immediately.


    "As expected, they were up to no good." Fu Hua said before taking Jia Li''s hands and walking into the room.


    YingPei and Ling nced at the captives and shook their heads before going into the room. Zimo didn''t even bother to look at them before going into the room.


    Bai Jun was more shocked than Mark because it just dawned on her that Fu Hua has been monitoring them. His words and actions were proof that he knew who Mark was, and he was also aware of their ns.


    Bai Jun turned pale and allowed herself to be dragged away, and she remained silent even when Mark asked her some questions because he too was going crazy.


    The questions running through his head was not too different from the one going on in Bai Jun''s head.


    Outside the club, Bai Jun and Mark did not make it to their ride, because they were arrested right outside the doors, by the police whom Shi Qiao had contacted earlier.


    The police didn''t know Mark, but through Bai Jun they knew him, and so arrested them.


    Shi Qiao had told them that Bai Jun came to crash their party with a young gentleman as an aplice. He also told them, that the two were together.


    When the police saw them, they walked up to them because they recognized Bai Jun. They had asked Mark if he was Mark to confirm the name that was given to them.


    Mark said he was going to call hiswyer and he kept shouting if they knew who he was, while Bai Jun remained quiet because she was humbled by the situation. She was truly afraid of the police now, after spending some time in jail.

    <h4>Chapter 654 Getting Married</h4>


    While still holding Jia Li''s hands, Fu Hua whispered to Zimo.


    "Tell the Chief to keep them there till tomorrow, no bail should be granted to them, tonight."


    Zimo took his instructions and left to make a call, while Jia Li looked on in awe.


    "Why are you staring at me, is there something on my face?" Fu Hua asked with a smiling gaze on her.


    "No... just remind me to never step on your toes." Jia Li said and looked away, just before FangSu, Meixu, Shi Qiao and Zhang Junjie came to wee them.


    How did Fu Hua know that the duo was arrested? Well, the police were already outside when they arrived.


    In fact, when Fu Hua found out from them of the reason they were there, he told them to wait outside, as if knowing that the bodyguards will drag Mark and Bai Jun outside.


    With Fu Hua''s presence, the party went into full swing, and everyone forgot about Mark and Bai Jun who came to ruin the party.


    The goal of today''s party is to propose to FangSu, and only a bunch of people knew about it. So 30 minutes into the time Fu Hua arrived, Zhang Junjie got on one knee.


    "What are you doing?" FangSu quivered. She didn''t know the reason he was doing this, but at the same time, something was telling her that this was a big deal.


    Zhang Junjie didn''t give her a verbal answer. His answer was pulling out the engagement ring he got for her from his pocket, and raising it in front of her, while their guests stared in surprise.


    Out of everyone present, only Fu Hua and Jia weren''t surprised. As did the rest, gasps are shocks escaped from their mouth, and some of them couldn''t help filming this process.


    "Susu, marry me!" Zhang Junjie said with a determined tone, not forgetting to sh a smile.


    No matter how surprised FangSu was, this was one moment in her life that she has been waiting for. She quickly pulled herself together after jumping around out of joy and stretched her left hand towards him.


    Zhang Junjie quickly fixed the ring on her finger and got to his feet before embracing her.


    "Thank you!!!" FangSu said as she hugged him back, while their guests gave them a round of apuse while cheering for them.


    "She seems so happy!" Jia Li from the side with a happy smile, while fixing her gaze on the newly engaged couple.


    "I hope she knows what she is getting herself into." Fu Hua whispered. His response caused Jia Li to bump his arm.


    "What are you speaking like it''s not a good thing to get married?"


    "It''s a good thing to get married, but I hope she is ready for the aspect of the married life." Fu Hua replied with his gaze on his little sister.


    Jia Li smiled as she gazed at him, "We are all here to help her."


    Fu Hua who had a calm gaze earlier, and for whatever reason, his brows were furrowed right now. He couldn''t help by ncing at his wife to ask with a horrified gaze, "Wait, is the way I will give my daughter out in the future?"


    His facial expression was funny, and Jia Li couldn''t help bursting intoughter, which attracted a little attention from the people standing a little close to them.


    "What? Is this funny to you?" Fu Hua asked with a frown. To him, this was a serious matter, but his beloved wife didn''t take him seriously, and was instead,ughing t him from the side.


    "What do you expect me to do other thanugh? I can''t be sad after seeing how serious your gaze looked just now. Anyway, our daughter still has a long time to spend with us, so rx." Jia Li said, trying to calm his emotions.


    ''So I''m really going to entrust my daughter to another man in the future?'' Fu Hua thought to himself.


    On the other side, YingPei and Ling were discussing what just happened.


    "Did that girl just get engaged right in front of us?" YingPei asked as he turned to look at Ling.


    "It seems so," Ling replied with a small smile.


    YingPei shut his eyes and opened them. Fixing his gaze back to FangSu, he said, "I don''t know why I can''t be happy. Our grandfather will give us an earful by tomorrow morning. I mean, now he is going to not stop talking about us and our rtionships."


    "What is there to be scared of? You can say that you are taking your time. Tonight is a night to be happy, it''s time to toast, why don''t we go do that as a sign of goodwill?"


    Right after saying that, Fu Ling walked towards FangSu and Zhang Junjie to give them a toast, and YingPei had no choice but to follow him.


    FangSu couldn''t express how happy she was with this surprise engagement ring and party from Zhang Junjie, and she couldn''t hide her emotions. She keptughing with her friends and anyone that walked up to her. She was very nice this evening.


    When YingPei went up to give them a post, he made ament. "How can you be getting married when I haven''t even done a formal introduction with my girlfriend?"


    "That''s because you are slow. But rx, you will soon catch up with me." FangSu teased.


    "Good for you..." Lingmented from the side.


    After the two Fu brothers shifted away, YingPei said to Ling, "You are still in the mode to have fun after breaking up with your fake girlfriend?"


    "As you said, she was a fake girlfriend, and I didn''t want her to be anymore. My situation is much better because I don''t want to lie anymore." Fu Ling replied with a distant gaze.


    "Then I am in a more lucky situation. My fake rtionship turned out to be real. We first started as friends, and now, we are a couple. I wish you luck in finding the perfect life partner." YingPei said with a path on his shoulder.

 Chapter 655 in Jail

    <h4>Chapter 655 in Jail</h4>


    Fu Ling said with his gaze on him, "Forget it, I have already found someone and I just have to make my intentions known."


    Now, YingPei was in for some more revtion, but Ling just left him there.


    Zimo who hade outside to ry Fu Hua''s instructions through a call came back some minutester and joined in the party.


    As for Mark and Bai Jun, they were immediately out in different cells, without any formality or questioning. This act pissed Mark off.


    "Ya! Do you all know who I am?? You said I have a right to awyer and a bail, so why are you not getting right down to your work? Why am I locked up here?!! Are you afraid that I can''t afford any of my rights???"


    One of the police officers came walked close to his cell and told him this... "Who said we don''t know you can afford your rights?"


    "Then why are you not letting me contact mywyer or bail myself out?" Mark asked angrily. He couldn''t stand spending another minute in that cell with two other people in there.


    "That''s because we are off duty, so we will visit your case tomorrow." The police officer replied with a cheeky smile.


    "What!!! Does that mean we have to spend the night in here???" Bai Jun asked in shock. The cell she was put in, was next to the one Mark was in, so she could see and hear the police officer clearly.


    Despite what the police officer said, Mark insisted that he must leave that night. "There is no way that I can spend the night in here."


    "Then you have to me yourselves for being unfortunate bymitting a crime by this time." The police officer said to them as he moved his gaze between Mark and Bai Jun.


    Bai Jun couldn''t seem to wrap her hand around what the police officer was saying. He and his colleagues arrested them some minutes ago, and now they were saying they were already off duty?


    And now, they wouldn''t even let their other colleagues on the next shift to handle their case. Bai Jun couldn''t understand this and had to ask, "Howe you came to arrest us when you were already off duty??"


    "We were on our way back to the station when we got a call about some people crashing a party, and since the club was on our way, and the caller ID is a VIP, we had to attend to the matter immediately." The policeman replied immediately.


    Mark scoffed, "Since there are exceptions for VIPs, then allow me to bail myself, or contact mywyer to bail, and I will pay double the price of the bail fee because I am also a VIP."


    The policeman pretended to be interested at first, but then he said, "Your bargain is tempting, but even if you give us 100¡Á the bail fee, you won''t be going anywhere tonight! We are very righteous with our job, good night!!!"


    After saying that, the police officer said good night to them, smiled, and walked away.


    "Righteous my foot!!!" Bai Jun cursed with her hands on her waist. She couldn''t believe that she would have to spend the night in a police cell.


    Mark was very angry, and he couldn''t help ming Bai Jun for the mess they got into.


    "Can stop ming me? I am also a victim here! How was I supposed to know that they were going to call the police on us? At most, I thought we would only be dragged out after we must have finished what we came for." Bai Jun replied.


    Really, she didn''t see all these defensesing, or maybe she was too in a hurry to crash someone''s party that she forgot to think very well, but Mark was not willing to hear her out. If he wasn''t locked up, he would haveid his hands on her.


    "Just shut up and don''t get me started right now! I thought we had a deal, but what did you do when we got in there, youpletely forgot about me and insulted FangSu to that degree, when you knew I was beside you! What did you think she would do? Do you think she would still want to be with me??? No!!! She would think I was an aplice!!!"


    "Why are you taking this out on me? We should be thinking about how to get out of here first and make amends!" Bai Jun said in an annoyed tone.


    Mark cane to the cell bar and stood. He tried to see if he could sight Bai Jun''s annoying face, but he couldn''t.


    "You must be crazy!! Don''t you know how to apologize first before talking about how to leave here, you brainless fool!!!"


    A first, Bai Jun didn''t want to apologize, but if she doesn''t, she would be in trouble. Mark would never forgive her, and he would stop supporting her the minute he gets out of the police cell the next day.


    Let''s talk about her getting out of the cell first. Who would help her get out of the cell if it gets out of her hand, maybe more paperwork she would have someone else do for her, or maybe if it involves a lot of money to buy her freedom back?


    After apologizing, she didn''t get any response from Mark.


    "Mark, are you still there?" Bai Jun asked as she tried to make sure that Mark was still paying attention to her, but he totally ignored her.


    Can''t at the club, Jia Li and Fu Hua spent 30 minutes more before leaving. They had their little one at home, and they promised toe home early to put her to sleep.


    That night, FangSu made sure to return home after the party. She and Zhang Junjie shared a deep kiss after Fu Hua left.


    It looked like the happy couple were trying hard to save Fu Hua some face, because they could imagine how angry or jealous he would be deep down.

 Chapter 656 FangSu shows off her engagement ring

    <h4>Chapter 656 FangSu shows off her engagement ring</h4>


    Because of the party, the youngsters of the Fu family werete for dinner. Already, they had eaten something at the party, so there was no need to worry about dinner.


    By the time Zhang Junjie dropped FangSu back at the Fu Mansion, it was already past 11 pm, and the oldies has gone to bed.


    FangSu so badly wanted to show off her engagement ring, but it looks like she would have to wait till the morning of tomorrow.


    Before going to bed that night, FangSu took some photos of the ring on her finger and posted them on all her social media pages.


    She had captioned the posts with, ''Thank you Jie for the surprise engagement party, and I love the ring especially.''


    There was a satisfied smile on her face after making the posts. As she put down her phone to go to bed, it rang. Zhang Junjie was on the line.


    "I called to say good night." Zhang Junjie said immediately the call was answered.


    "Goodnight, I love you," FangSu said with a blissful smile.


    "I love you too." Zhang Junjie replied before ending the conversation.


    FangSu was still very excited about the surprise engagement party. She continued to daydream before falling asleep in the early hours of the morning.


    It looked like her brain had worked ording to her will because by 6 am, FangSu was already up. She brushed her teeth and went for a run to look better when she goes to the dining table.


    On her way out, she met Fu Hua, who gave her a weird nce.


    "You didn''t sleep well?" He asked.


    That question was weird for FangSu because her big brother usually didn''t ask that question. In fact, he didn''t care to look at her that closely, and even if he mistakenly did that, he would never say anything, so she was a bit surprised.


    Touching her face, FangSu asked, "What happened to my face?"


    "Forget it, you must have drank too muchst night out of excitement and didn''t get to sleep well. By the way, why did youe out to run, you don''t work out here, is something bothering you?" Fu Hua asked.


    FangSu smiled and gave him the best reply ever, "I was bothered as I haven''t shown off my ring to grandfather yet. I wonder how they would all react to seeing the ring on my finger."


    Fu Hua shook his head at her childishness. "So, you want to show off? Are you that excited?"


    "Of course, why wouldn''t I be excited? Were you and Sister-inw not excited like me when you two were getting married?" FangSu asked with a slight frown.


    To her, it wasn''t a new thing to be excited over one''s engagement with a ring, every wannabe bride and groom, do that.


    FangSu''s question took Fu Hua back to the past. He remembered that he and Jia Li had no choice but to get married back then. They were not happy about it, but none of them ended up fighting against it atst.


    "My marriage to your sister-inw wasn''t that exciting in the beginning, but we worked things out, so we are very happy now." Fu Hua replied.


    "Oh! I see..." FangSu replied.


    "Run along..." Fu Hua said before jogging away.


    Thirty minutester, FangSu returned to her room to wash up and get ready for breakfast. Before going down for breakfast, she spoke with her Fiance on phone. Their conversationsted for over 15 minutes.


    Finally arriving at the dining ready, FangSu found out that she was thest person to arrive. She hurriedly sat on her seat with a big smile.


    Picking up a cup of coffee, FangSu raised the mug to her lips and drank from it, while waiting for someone to notice her ring and ask about it.


    Of course, someone did notice her ring, and that was her mother.


    "FangSu, is that an engagement ring?" Fu Hee asked with a questionable gaze.


    As Fu Hee asked that question, the rest of the family members looked over in FangSu''s direction to see the ring.


    FangSu put down her mug of coffee and let everyone see her ring. "Mum, you are right. Zhang Junjie gave this ring to mest night and asked me to marry him. And before you say anything, my brothers and cousins were presentst night."


    In case any adult had something to say against her epting the ring without any of her family being present, she would throw them off bnce.


    "That''s right mum, Zhang Junjie threw her a surprise engagement partyst night," YingPei said with a smile.


    "Last night? I thought it was his birthday yesterday?" Fu Lei asked with a slight frown.


    Fu Hua replied, "Yes it was, but he prepared this surprise for FangSu. He also came to tell me about it in FJ."


    "Thisss is very thoughtful." Fu ChuHua said from the side as a big smile hung on her face.


    Grandfather Fu nced at the ring on FangSu''s finger and went back to eating his food with a slight smile, while the rest congratte FangSu.


    FangSu was all smiles as she replied to everyone.


    "Aunty, Su, your ring is pretty!" Jasmine said with her eyes glistening. She saw the shiny diamond ring and couldn''t help being fascinated by it.


    "You like it?" FangSu asked with a big smile as she showed off the ring in front of her, so she could see it properly. Jasmine nodded in response.


    "Thank you!" FangSu replied and retracted her finger.


    Meixu leaned in to say to her, "Are you satisfied now after showing off?"


    "Not yet, I can''t wait to be done with breakfast to go check my phone, because by now, the news of my engagement would be the talk of the town," FangSu replied in a soft tone.


    Meixu scoffed and went back to eating her food.


    At the police cell where Bai Jun and Mark were locked up, Mark was scratching his arms and shivering a little.

 Chapter 657 The allegiance was over

    <h4>Chapter 657 The allegiance was over</h4>


    Mark had fallen a little ill, and he was very ufortable. Last night was the most ufortable night for him. Mosquitoes bit him and took a lot of blood from, plus the cold he caught.


    Mark couldn''t stop sneezing, and as soon as the same policeman that arrested him the previous day, walked to his cell, he immediately scrambled up and put his hands on the bars.


    "I need to call mywyer if you are not going to grant me bail which is supposed to be so!" Mark demanded.


    "The night must have been ufortable for you, I will let you put a call to yourwyer." The policeman replied with a smile, before going on to open the cell bar for him.


    When Bai Jun who was still sleeping heard themotion, she opened her eyes slightly, and it was at that moment that she saw the policeman and Mark, passing her cell. She immediately got up and screamed at the policeman.


    "Officer, I am still here, did you forget me???"


    The police officer heard her, saw the frantic expression on his face, and said, "Do you also have awyer because he wants to go and speak to hiswyer?"


    Lawyer? She didn''t have one. Bai Jun lost words for a response. But when she saw that thewyer was about to walk away, she hurriedly called him back.


    "But we came together, you can''t release him and leave me here! Mark!!"


    Mark his name being called and came back to say to her with a not-too-good facial expression. "Who said that I can''t be let out without you? Do you owe my life or something?"


    Bai Jun did get to reply because Mark walked out the next minute, and the police officer followed after him.


    At the desk, Mark got back his phone and was about to dial hiswyer''s number when the police officers stopped him.


    "There is no need to call yourwyer because you can bail yourself out, with $**** but you have to sign an undertaken that you won''t be foundmitting another crime in this country, since your papers said you would be here for 2 weeks." One of the police officers said.


    They heard from Zimo of who Mark truly was, and who his family was. Zimo had told them that ording to Fu Hua''s instruction. He also let them know that Mark could be released the next day if he asked for it, and just followed the instructions.


    Because of Fu Hua''s order, the police tread carefully as well. They just followed Fu Hua''s instructions directly from their Chief.


    After Mark heard he could bail himself, he didn''t waste time, and immediately signed on the documents he was asked to sign after reading the instructions, and next, he took the charge for his bail from the wallet that was handed over to him and passed it to the officers.


    After retrieving his properties, Mark heard Bai Jun shouting his name from her cell, and an idea struck him. He whipped out a hundred-dor bill from his wallet and handed it to one of the police officers.


    "Keep that woman that came in with me in there till 4 pm, and call out an ambnce for me, I need to go to the hospital right now," Mark instructed.


    "We don''t need your money, and we don''t have to keep her there if she can afford her bail. Also, why do you need an ambnce?." The officer who received the money said as he handed the money back to him.


    Mark''s actions made it look like it was easy for him to get them. It was also a bad image to them as if anyone can just order them around.


    Mark refused to collect the money. "I don''t wish to be on the Fu family''s bad side. As soon as I recover, I will leave this country. I want that woman punished, because she dragged me to go ruin someone''s party, and I''m sure the Fu family would like for her to be punished more."


    After saying that, Mark went on to tell them the reason he wanted an ambnce. He didn''t know how way around, but most importantly, he was feeling faint, and it looked like he caught a little cold due to the poor services in their police station.


    A scrutinizing gaze was directed at Mark, and when they saw that he didn''t look well as his face had lost color, an ambnce was called.


    Just before getting into the ambnce, Mark left the hundred-dor bill on the desk. He really wanted Bai Jun to be punished. Their ns failed, she made FangSu hate him the more, and she made him get locked up in the police cell, which was one of the ces he dreaded.


    In Mark''s mind, the allegiance he had with Bai Jun was over. He was no longer going to support her again. Once he recovers, he would leave the country.


    Another thing that angered him more, was the fact that Fu Hua seemed to know who he was, and their ns. He could only me Bai Jun for being careless.


    Mark didn''t want to associate with Bai Jun anymore, and it was clear.


    Currently, the inte was buzzing with the news of FangSu''s engagement with Zhang Junjie. Many fans and rtionship shippers, couldn''t stop celebrating the couple.


    Friends of the Fu family and the Zhang family congratted both families. The Fu family and the Zhang family were receiving gifts, flowers, and congrattory messages from their friends.


    Throughout that day, FangSu and Zhang Junjie were the topic of discussion and on the inte. Many fans began to ask when their dream wedding was going to be.


    To that, FangSu replied, "When we are done nning our dream wedding, we will surely tell you about it, so for now we don''t have a date."


    FangSu''s reply was not satisfactory to them, and many of them continued asking questions pertaining to her wedding with Zhang Junjie.

 Chapter 658 Threatening her mother

    <h4>Chapter 658 Threatening her mother</h4>


    Apart from replying to some of the congrattory messages sent to her, FangSu did not reply to another question.


    Back at the prison, after Ba Jun learned that Mark had been released, she began to make trouble about being released, but no one attended to her case.


    She was also threatened that her crime would be multiplied if she continued to disturb the policemen, and hinder them from doing their job.


    Bai Jun had to stop shouting and remained quiet. Layer in the evening, a police officer came by her cell to her the cost of her bail.


    "I don''t care how much it is, tell me, and I will pay, I need to get out of here!" Bai Jun said desperately. She could not stand another second in the cell.


    The amount for her bail, was too much for her, given that she had no job, and the money left with her, would onlyst her for three months if she managed it well, but now, her bail was worth a month managed expenses?


    It''s not like she had a lot of choices. Bai Jun quickly paid and signed the documents provided for her. Because she has been in prison for a crime, and she dared to openlymit another one, she was given a warning.


    Before leaving the police station, Bai Jun inquired about Mark if he said where he was going to since he left angrily because she doubted that he would answer her calls.


    "Your aplice left with an ambnce, I suggest you should go find him in a hospital." One of the police officers replied.


    As for which hospital he was taken to, Bai Jun to failed to find out about it. The most important thing to her right now was to go back to her apartment to wash up and change into a new set of clothes.


    It''s been over 2 hours since Bai Jun tried to reach out to Mark but failed. She even went to his hotel room, to find him, but she was denied ess when she was told he wasn''t around, and she still tried to go up.


    Left with no choice, Bai Jun left the hotel premises in frustration. It was very important that she mends her rtionship with Mark, otherwise, she would be in big trouble. He was the only that has been financing her since she left the prison. If he was out of her life, wasn''t her life over? So she needed to beg him, even if it required her setting her pride aside and getting on her news.


    She would do anything to get Mark to her side again.


    Bai Jun stood outside the hotel building for a while to contemte her next step. She just tried Mark''s number a few minutes ago, but she failed to reach him because his phone was turned off.


    It took Bai Jun extra 20 minutes to make up her mind on what she has been thinking about. She whipped out her phone from her bag the next minute, and went to the cklist, to unblock a familiar contact, before dialing the number.


    Bai Fen was almost starving when she got a call from her daughter who she hasn''t seen or heard from in a long time. Even when she tried her number, she couldn''t reach out to it.


    Bai Fen quickly wiped her sweaty palms on her clothes before proceeding to answer the call. She was excited to hear from her daughter in the first few seconds, but the remaining duration of their conversation was heartbreaking for her.


    "I know you took all my properties and bank cards when the Bai family threw us out, I need them now. Also, I remember that I had a car, where is it parked, are you with it?"


    Bai Jun called to ask about her valuable properties. If she were to sell her designer shoes, clothes, and bag, she would surely have enough money to survive till the end of the year.


    If she got a hold of the money in her bank ounts, she would be able to survive till winter came to an end the next early year. She was a heavy spender so she didn''t have enough money saved in her bank ounts.


    If she got his of her car, and some other properties she spent her money on, she can also survive through it next year without working.


    This was the one and only reason Bai Jun finally reached out to her mother, otherwise, she wouldn''t have bothered about her.


    Bai Fen was heartbroken, but what could she do? When she dyed in responding because of the disappointment, Bai Jun scolded her.


    "Why are you quiet? Don''t tell me that you sold my things without my permission when I am still alive? I want my property if you don''t want to end up in jail. I will give you 3 days to round everything up and get back to me."


    Bai Jun was very cold, and she didn''t leave any room for her mother to respond, because she would never forget that if her mother didn''t ever bring up the subject of her marrying Fu Hua, her life wouldn''t have been like this today.


    Bai Jun indeed left some properties behind. All the money she had in her bank ounts, her car, her entire wardrobe which cost a little above half of a million US Dors.


    These things were her means of survival right now, and if there was any mistake with them, she won''t spare her mother.


    At the hospital, Mark was given a drip which made him sleep for a few hours. He caught a cold, and he was given a mria prevention drug, because of the heavy mosquitoes bites he got while in prison.


    After a few more hours of rest, Mark retired to his hotel room to bathe, eat and rest more. He gave an instruction never to permit Bai Jun toe up to his room, without his permission.

 Chapter 659 Bai Jun meets her mother

    <h4>Chapter 659 Bai Jun meets her mother</h4>


    Three dayster, Fu Hua was carrying out a n. He had paused in the middle of his office work and called Zimo over for another important matter.


    "Since Miss Bai is tired of staying outside I think it''s time to send her back in again."


    "How do you want me to do it, Sir?" Zimo asked.


    "Anyhow, just make sure she goes back in as soon as possible." Fu Hua said. He didn''t care whatever means he would use to put Bai Jun back in jail, as he wanted her gone as soon as possible.


    Making her spend the night in the police cell the other day was nothing. It wasn''t part of a punishment. So right now, he was preparing to give her a real punishment.


    Before leaving his office, Zimo updated Fu Hua on the activities that have been going on on Mark and Bai Jun''s side. He has been monitoring them more closely since that incident.


    Mark booked a flight ticket back to the United States, and his flight was due in a few days, and at the same time, he was nning to get involved in drugs.


    As for Bai Jun, she asked her mother for her properties, and she was going to meet her that evening.


    "Who is the drug for?" Fu Hua asked.


    "It should be for him," Zimo replied.


    "Don''t conclude yet, find out. He has to go back to his country, and we will keep him busy there as long as forever. But if gets involved in drugs, he will rot in jail over there. As for Miss Bai, I will leave her in your care." Fu Hua instructed.


    Anyone that messes with his family will surely be punished.


    Bai Jun gave her mother a time and a ce to meet with her. The ce they met up, was one of the least restaurants in the city. The restaurant hardly had customers, which has almost made them go bankrupt.


    Bai Jun didn''t want to go to a ce where people would have their eyes on her. And if she was mistakenly seen together with her mother, it would make it to the news.


    She didn''t want to be mistakenly associated with her mother anymore.


    Bai Fen was almost in tears after seeing her daughter that she almost forgot her ce and wanted to embrace her, but she was pushed away.


    "I thought by now, you will know that I no longer regard you as my mother, and you should also forget that you ever had a child. Where are the things I asked?" Bai Jun asked with an arrogant gaze?


    She didn''t look like she cared about any other thing apart from her properties.


    Being rejected was painful, but what was more painful, is not allowed to exin herself. Bai Fen went on to hand over a small envelope to Bai Jun.


    "Your bank cards are all in there."


    "What about some wads of cash I left in my bags before I was arrested?" Bai Jun asked as she opened the envelope to see her three bank cards in there.


    Bai Fen looked a little afraid and refused to answer that question.


    "Don''t tell me you spent my money!!" Bai Jun said in a raised tone.


    "What were you expecting me to do?? I had no money on me, and I was going to die of hunger!" Bai Fen said just before she would rage on.


    "You should have died of hunger! How can you spend the money that doesn''t belong to you without permission? Are you a thief?" Bai Jun said angrily.


    The longer they conversed, the ruder she became.


    "If I had died of hunger, do you think you would be able to get all these back?" Bai Fen fired back.


    She could not allow her daughter to continue being rude to her.


    "I see... Where is my car key?" Bai Jun asked. Her car key was supposed to be in the envelope along with her bank cards, but there was nothing there.


    "There is no car, so how can there be a car key?" Bai Fen said and looked away without a care. It was obvious that she has moved on from her daughter''s rudeness.


    "What do you mean that there is no car? Where is my car?!" Bai Jun demanded on a more serious note. Her voice was so much louder now, but there was no fear of her image because she has long lost it. Also, there was no customer there, as they were the only ones in the restaurant.


    Bai Fen removed unmoved with her rage. "When I was being pushed out from the family, and the Bai vi, no car key was given to me. If you want to know what happened to your car, you can ask your father that question."


    Bai Jun was almost going crazy. This was the car that if she sold it, it would sustain her for 2 years without working provided that she lived and spent in average and now, she was being told that it was long gone.


    ''Can someone just shoot me in the head?'' Bai Jun wished.


    "There is no need to be so surprised about it, did you think that there was going to be a possibility of you having that car back? You must have thought too much about it." Bai Fen gloated.


    Bai Jun was truly sick in the head to think that she could still have her car back. How did she ever think of it?


    Bai Fen was quiet for a few seconds before speaking up, "As for these cards, just take your mind off it. Since they were given to you by your father, just know that you can''t ess the money because the ounts have been frozen. My cards were frozen as well, and that is the reason I found it hard to feed."


    After getting yet another blow, Bai Jun almost lost it. She quickly took out all the cards from the envelope to take a good look at them.


    Instead of addressing her father the normal way, she said, "Your husband gave me these two cards, so I am sure he must have frozen it, but this third card, belongs solely to me!"

 Chapter 660 What are you yelling for?

    <h4>Chapter 660 What are you yelling for?</h4>


    Bai Fen was surprised at the revtion because she thought that all three cards were connected to her husband, not knowing that one out of the three, had nothing to do with him. If not, she would have long withdrawn the money there.


    She has been finding it difficult to feed, without knowing that she had an option in her possession, what a waste!


    She didn''t even mind that it was her daughter''s money because, from the look of things, her daughter had a means of survival.


    "I don''t see my clothes, shoes, and bags here, where are they?" Bai Jun asked while looking around.


    "I left the bag outside." Bai Fen said as she got from her seat and walked away, while Bai Jun waited patiently for her toe back.


    Some minutester, Bai Fen returned with a heavy travel bag. After she left it at Bai Jun''s feet, she went back to her seat.


    "That''s it?" Bai Jun asked with furrowed brows as she gazed at the one luggage at her feet. She hoped it was not what she. was thinking that happened.


    "Well, these are the things I managed to keep for you." Bai Fen replied and threw her face away.


    There was a confused gaze on Bai Jun''s face. That had to be a joke that her mother was telling. Even if she had amnesia she would never forget her designer clothing that costs a fortune.


    "I don''t understand. Where are the rest? Did the Bai Family stop you from taking my entire wardrobe along? I mean if this is true, then they would answer a query." Bai Jun said angrily.


    Seeing how angry and determined her daughter looked, Bai Fen had toe clean with her, and they ended up fighting and being separated by the restaurant owner.


    Bai Fen had sold off every luxury she had in every form when she found it difficult to feed when she lost her brother''s support. After spending the money earned from selling her things, she went on to sell off most of her daughter''s properties.


    Bai Jun looked horrific as she went back to her apartment. She couldn''t believe her mother would sell off her properties and use the money to feed. She was pained and really wanted to get back at her, after daring to fight her back.


    In her current situation, Bai Jun decided to do everything she could to hold onto Mark. She couldn''t guarantee that she could get a job to take care of her necessities.


    Getting Mark to her side and milking him a little, wouldn''t hurt.


    Mark promised to foot their bills till the end of his stay in China, but if he should give up on pursuing FangSu and go back to the states, she wouldn''t get a dime again. So, Bai Jun sent a bunch of texts to him after failing to reach him via call.


    Bai Jun promised to help him win over FangSu. She also promised not to be selfish like before, and would solely help him out, but no response came from Mark.


    Mark on the other hand after being released from the hospital, booked a flight back to the states, and also got in contact with someone who deals with underground work to get some hard drugs. He was really nning something.


    Both Bai Jun and Mark were under Fu Hua''s watch, so they can''t escape being heavily punished if they should try anything again.


    A dayter, Mark, atst, answered Bai Jun''s call.


    "Did you n on killing me with your calls?" Mark asked calmly. He didn''t sound as if he had a grudge against her.


    Bai Jun was truly surprised by his tone because she thought he would scold her if he ever answers her call, but he didn''t. Instead, his tone was normal.


    Bai Jun thought that atst, she got a second chance. She smiled and said to him, "I was worried about your health since I heard you were taken away in an ambnce. Are you fine now?"


    "If I wasn''t fine, did you think I would answer your calls, or let you go free?" Mark questioned in a rxed manner.


    "That''s why I tried to get in touch with you, to make sure you are okay, but you didn''t answer any of my calls, or reply to my texts." Bai Junined.


    "Are youining?" Mark asked. His tone was starting to sound angry and Bai Jun noticed it and apologized all over again.


    She needed to make it up to him for angering him, so she suggested to take him out for lunch the same day.


    Mark didn''t refuse her when she offered to buy him lunch to get his forgiveness.


    Back at the Fu Mansion, Jasmine was currently throwing a fit.


    "Mummy! I want to do my homework!" Jasmine said in tears as she tried to take her textbook from her mother.


    "No way! I told you there is no homework." Jia Li said as she refused to hand over the book and pencil she raised above her head.


    When Jasmine came back from school, she took out her textbook and pencil from her bag and started writing with them.


    Jia Li caught her writing on her school book and asked what she was doing after quickly snatching the items away. Jasmine said she was given homework, but there was nothing like that after Jia Li searched her textbook for the ce her teacher had written ''Home Work'' on.


    Jia Li told the little girl that no homework was given to her, but she was too insistent on it. Having no choice, Jia Li refused to give back the textbook and pencil to the little girl, despite her demand.


    Jasmine was in tears as she asked her mother to give back her items, but she wouldn''t budge. The little girl had no choice but to start wailing in a loud voice.


    "What are you yelling for? You will disturb your great-grandpa from his nap." Jia Li said to Jasmine, but the little girl was too disheartened to care about that.

 Chapter 661 Series of Set-up

    <h4>Chapter 661 Series of Set-up</h4>


    Jasmine wanted her book back, and so she made a big fuss about it.


    The mother and daughter insisted on their opinion until Fu Hua walked over. "What is going on here? Why is my Princess crying?" He asked.


    Once Jasmine heard her father''s voice, she ran to him in tears and began toin about her mother to him.


    "Daddy! Mummy took my book away!" Jasmine said with herrge watery eyes. She still looked so adorable whileining in tears.


    Fu Hua squat and cleaned her tears with his hand before lifting her in his arms. "Why did Mummy take your book away."


    Jia Li sighed and exined, "I caught her scribbling on her school textbook and took it from her, but she said she had homework, but I have checked the textbook, and no assignment was given."


    "Daddy, I have homework. My teacher said I should do my homework." Jasmine insisted while pointing at her book which was still in her mother''s hands.


    Fu Hua seemed to have discovered what was going on after the exnation, and his smile became more profound. He nced at Jia Li and exined, "Jasmine was indeed given homework, but it''s not the one you think it is."


    "I don''t understand." Jia Li said with a confused gaze, as she didn''t understand his exnation.


    It was not a problem for Fu Hua to exin things to her, so he said, "Her teacher indeed gave them homework, but that homework, was to revise what they were taught in school."


    Fu Hua was the one who went to pick up Jasmine from school, and he clearly heard her teacher reminding her not to forget to revise their ss activities, as it was an assignment. So that''s the reason Jasmine was so insistent and stubborn about it.


    Fu Hua''s exnation now made sense to Jia Li, and she finally understood the reason her little girl insisted that she was given an assignment.


    Jia Li sighed before getting close to the father and daughter. "Jasmine, mummy is sorry, but you can''t scribble on your school book." Jia Li taught in a soft tone.


    "But I had to do my assignment," Jasmine replied as she sniffed.


    "No, Princess, you can''t scribble on any book you see even if it''s your notebook if you don''t seek our consent first. If you have any homework in the future, tell your mummy or me first so we can help you with it." Fu Hua said to the little girl as he kissed her hair.


    Jia Li patted the little girl''s hair and said, "Jasmine, you can write in your school book if your teacher, me, or your daddy doesn''t permit you, okay?"


    Jasmine sniffed again before replying in a low tone, "Okay." She looked like was being forced to follow the instruction.


    "Good girl! Mummy will take you to the park and buy you any vor of ice cream you want." Jia Li said with a big smile on her face and kissed the little girl''s cheeks.


    Some minutester, Jia Li sat with the little girl and helped her to revise what she was thought in ss that day.


    What Jia Li understood soon, was that children of Jasmine''s age loved to scribble a lot. Anyone who didn''t know better would think that they were all book worms, not knowing that they found it fun and exciting to scribble.


    After taking Mark out for Lunch, Bai Jun thought that things were cool between them. But in other not to seem desperate, she didn''t mention winning FangSu over.


    She left him to call on her, and he did that a few dayster.


    Zimo who had eyes on Mark and Bai Jun, rushed to Fu Hua''s office to report to him what was going on.


    Mark had met with someone from the underground world the previous night, and it turned out to be the same person he purchased a hard drug from.


    Mark had a flight booked for the states the next morning by 11, but he still got a substantial amount of the hard drug. Given how tight the security was, there was no way he was going to travel with it.


    From the records that Zimo investigated, Mark had quit drugs, and he spent a lot of time at the rehabilitation center abroad, so what was someone who had quit drugs, doing with it?


    Mark had a flight booked by 11 AM, but he got some hard drugs the previous night and invited Bai Jun over to his hotel by 11 AM. What kind of ns do you think he had?


    This situation was very simple for Fu Hua to dissect, even Zimo guessed what was being nned.


    "Sir, I think Mark is trying to set Miss Bai up," Zimo said with a straight gaze.


    Fu Hua responded with a smile. "Since he is not nning any more drama with my sister, and he wants to set that Miss up, then let him do it. Assist him, and make sure this works. We can kill 3 birds with 1 stone."


    "Three birds?" Zimo asked with a little confusion. He was only seeing two birds, so where did the third onee from?


    "I needed to give Mr. Guang a harmless warning, and seeing that the hotel involved in this n secretly belongs to him, what do you think will happen when the reporters get a hold of this information?" Fu Hua said with a cunning smile.


    The Guang family stepped on Fu Hua''s once, and he has been looking for a way to pay them back, and now this opportunity came up.


    Mark invited Bai Jun over to the hotel he was staying at, which happens to belong to the Guang family. Fu Hua also wanted to get a little revenge for histe mother-inw.


    Imagine the reporters and journalists getting the news that a hard drug was found in the possession of Bai Jun at the hotel that belongs to the Guan family, or even if they don''t know who it belonged to, the hotel''s reputation will be tarnished.

 Chapter 662 Tip-off

    <h4>Chapter 662 Tip-off</h4>


    Zimo went on with Fu Hua''s instructions to assist Mark in carrying out his plots against Bai Jun, while at the same time, making sure that he doesn''t deviate from his initial ns.


    Bai Jun was happy to receive Mark''s call on that fateful day. He asked her toe over to his hotel room so they could discuss their next agenda concerning FangSu.


    Bai Jun has been waiting for this call for a while now, and she was more than happy to get herself over to his hotel. This was kind of a special day for her, so she took her time while getting ready. She picked one of the best old outfits and paired it with a matching shoe and bag.


    Bai Jun checked herself in the mirror more than 5 times to make sure her looks were superb. She wanted to appear before Mark in a different kind of vibe.


    Mark, on the other hand, left his hotel room around 9:30 am for the airport. When he got to the reception area of the hotel, he handed his room card to one of the receptionists there.


    "I am not checking outpletely. I have a friend that will being by 11 am, to pick up what I left for her. I can''t wait till she gets here, so please give her my room card, she will leave before noon, but if she stays till then, you can charge her for another 24-hour stay."


    The receptionist had wanted to reject him. She wanted to suggest that he should bring the gift out, so she could keep it for his friend since he didn''t n on returning to the hotel anymore. But Mark quickly slipped a hundred-dor bill into her palm.


    "Please, help me. I want that gift to be a surprise. And also, this is a tip for you." Mark said as he handed over another hundred-dor bill to her.


    The receptionist quickly epted the money and smiled while assuring him that she would get the work done.


    "Thank you! Once shees, just hand over the key to her, you don''t need to say anything more." Mark said with a smile.


    What Mark told Bai Jun was different from what he told the receptionist. And if either of them talks too much before the key is given away, they would find out that he lied, and his n may not fall through.


    Once Mark was inside the cab he had booked, he smiled more to himself and gazed at his surrounding.


    By 10:30 am, Bai Jun had already left her apartment and had taken a cab straight to the hotel. She didn''t want to bete, so she left on time. There would be no room for Mark to be unhappy with her.


    Zimo who was currently in Fu Hua''s office got a call and answered it immediately. A minuteter, he dropped the call and fixed a serious gaze on Fu Hua.


    "Sir, Miss Bai just got to the hotel now, Mark has boarded the ne already. From the search we just conducted, Mark left the hard drug in his hotel room."


    A few minutes after Mark checked out from the hotel, someone entered his room with a key card to search the room. And when the hard drug was found, the person left.


    "Also, there is a cup of orange juice on the table which we suspect has been spiked," Zimo concluded.


    Fu Hua released a deep breath and said, "Mark came prepared. He really wanted to leave concrete evidence behind. That reminds me, I need to make a call to his mother."


    "Sir, one more thing." Zimo interrupted.


    "What is it?" Fu Hua asked as he picked up his phone.


    "Some Journalists and reporters got tipped off about the drug nted in the hotel room, and they are making their way over to the hotel now," Zimo informed.


    This was Mark''s doing. He really wanted to ruin Bai Jun''s reputation more, and force her back into prison.


    Fu Hua checked his phone for the time and instructed, "immediately the reported gets into the hotel building, call the police and inform them of the same case."


    Zimo nodded in eptance and turned to leave, but then he got another instruction from Fu Hua who asked him to send all the pieces of evidence against Mark to his possession.


    When Fu Hua got the evidence of Mark meeting a drug dealer, exchanging his money for the hard drug, and getting into his hotel room with it, hepiled them together and emailed it to Mark''s mother using an anonymous Email, with a caption.


    ''Evidence of Mark''s drug deal in China''


    That was the heading of the Email, which was very eye-catching. If Mark''s mother were to see that mail, she would never ignore it. Of course, she would open it to read it.


    Under those photos, Fu Hua asked a question, "How will you take care of this matter?"


    Fu Hua had wanted to spare Mark, and only get him to be very busy in the US through his mother, but it looks like he has other ideas after changing his initial ns.


    Mark''s mother was very furious when she saw the contents of the mail some hourster. She was so angry that she could have overturned her office table if not that she didn''t have the energy to do that.


    After calming down a little, she quickly replied to Fu Hua''s mail. She asked who he was and how he got those pictures. She asked if they could meet or talk about her son''s matter and how to settle it for peace to reign, but her Email couldn''t be sent out, no matter how many times she tried.


    A minuteter, she discovered that it wasn''t possible to reply to that Email address...


    Back at the hotel, Bai Jun went straight to the receptionist to get permission to go up to Mark''s room to see him, since they had an appointment.


    The receptionist smiled at Bai Jun and said, "Miss Bai, Mr. Mark asked me to give you his room key card, so you can go up."

 Chapter 663 Hotel room key card

    <h4>Chapter 663 Hotel room key card</h4>


    ''What''s with the key card?'' Bai Jun thought to herself. She came here to meet Mark in his room, but she got the card to his room instead, ''Did he step out?'' She asked herself.


    Bai Jun took the key card from the receptionist and was about to walk away when she got a reminder toe down before noon. Bai Jun was too confused to pay attention to her, so she made her way straight to the elevator while trying to dial Mark''s contact.


    The reason the receptionist reminded Bai Jun toe down before noon, was because their hotel rule was that every noon, was the time for hotel room renewal. If you don''t check out before that time, you will pay for another 24 hours.


    In the elevator, Ba Jun pressed the floor of Mark''s room number, before dialing his contact, but she got a voice mail instead, which said that his number was not avable.


    Bai Jun wanted to know where he had gone without notifying her, but she couldn''t get an answer.


    Getting off the elevator, Bai Jun walked down the hallway and went straight to the right room door. Unlocking the door, she made her way in and turned on the lights.


    She looked happy as she toured the suite. It was almost time for lunch, so she went to the refrigerator to look for something to eat, but she only found an orange juice with a note on it.


    ''Quench your thirst, order food, I will be back soon, my battery is down.''


    Bai Jun smiled to herself and took the drink out of the refrigerator and started sipping it. Since Mark has exined the reason he couldn''t be reached, she only had to wait for a little while for him.


    "He should have texted me instead of making me worried. What if I didn''t open this refrigerator, I would never have seen his note." Bai Jun sulked like a child.


    It was specifically because Mark knew how she would act if there was no one in the room, that he did that.


    Since Mark said she could order some food, Bai Jun totally forgot what the receptionist said to her abouting down before noon, and went on to order food.


    Before the food was brought over, she had already finished the orange juice and discrete the stic cup in the waste bin.


    After serving the food, the waiter so that the waste bin was full, and carried out it as he was leaving.


    Bai Jun took pictures of the food and posted them before she began to eat. After she had finished eating, she became a little restless, because Mark was still nowhere to be found.


    Still, she called for room service toe and take the empty tes away, while she toured the suit again. This time around, she entered the bedroom and went on to check things out.


    When she couldn''t find any of Mark''s belonging around, she became suspicious. She opened the closet door, but nothing was there. Not even a shirt or an empty travel bag was seen.


    As she looked more, she discovered that not even a pin belonging to Mark could be found. At this point, Bai Jun began to panic. She used her phone and tried to reach Mark, but she couldn''t reach him.


    Quickly, she used the inte and dialed the reception desk.


    "Hello, Miss, is there something you need help with?" The receptionist inquired.


    "Where did my friend go to?" Bai Jun asked immediately.


    The receptionist was confused at that question because she thought that Bai Jun should know Mark''s whereabouts, so why was she asking about it?


    Thinking that Mark must have not told her his whereabouts because he wanted to surprise her, the receptionist smiled and said to her, "He already checked out, and because he had something to give to you, he instructed me to hand the key card to his room over to you."


    "What did you say?! He checked out already?" Bai Jun quivered. She was truly scared right now.


    "Yes, is everything okay?" The receptionist asked with a slight frown.


    "Do you know where he went to?" Bai Jun inquired as she was starting to lose her mind already.


    "I don''t know where he went to, but you have 5 minutes left to hand over the key card to that room, or you will foot the bill for another 24 hours." The receptionists said before dropping the call, and just then, many reporters and journalists trooped in and headed straight for the elevators, after overpowering the security.


    Bai Jun was still in shock by thetest development, that she copsed on the bed. Now, she was thinking if Mark was ying a prank on her or taking revenge on her.


    Actually, she was thinking if she had to foot the bill for the full course meal she ordered or not. She was wondering if Mark paid for it already before checking out and then wanted her toe over to eat It which could signify the gift the receptionist mentioned.


    No matter what it was, Bai Jun was very ufortable and didn''t want to remain in that room anymore, so she got off the bed and went straight to the sitting room to pick up her bag to leave.


    Just as she opened the door, she met face with the reporters who immediately swarmed over her, and began to ask her questions she couldn''t make meaning of.


    Bai Jun tried to evade them by going back into the room, but they immediately rushed in before she could m the door shut.


    She could tell that something was not right, and her doubts were confirmed when she heard the question she was asked next.


    "Miss Bai, is it true that you are into drugs now?"


    "Miss Bai, where did you hide the drugs you bought?"


    Bai Jun was almost going crazy with the shes from the cameras, and the crazy questions she couldn''t make sense of.


    "Are you all crazy?? How did you know I was here, and who told you that I am into drugs, are you blind or do you want to end your career for the false usation?"

 Chapter 664 In police custody

    <h4>Chapter 664 In police custody</h4>


    Bai Jun failed to defend herself, and she got pushed into the bedroom while striking back.


    Soon, some of the hotel staff came to stop the reporters and journalists from harassing Bai Jun, but instead, they were made to answer some queries.


    The hotel staff told them that there was nothing like drugs in their hotel and that they were given false information.


    Soon, the hotel security came up to help drive the media people out of the room.


    The receptionist that Bai Jun made the call to, quickly stepped forward and apologized to Bai Jun before handing over the receipt for her bill.


    The bill for the food, and the bill for the room because it was 12:15 pm already. She was asked to pay up before she can leave the hotel.


    When Bai Jun was trying to understand her current situation, the police arrived, and the reporters that were being driven out, immediately rushed over, but they were blocked off by the room door.


    The police showed the search warrant for the hotel room, and they were allowed to do their jobs, and in the meantime, Bai Jun was not allowed to leave.


    Bai Jun felt angry and endangered. She tried to find out the reason she was being linked with hard drugs that she knew nothing about, but she instead got a simple response, ''Someone tipped them off


    It didn''t take long before it dawned on Bai Jun that Mark had set her up. There was no other exnation for this. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she fought them off while saying that she was innocent and wasn''t the owner of the room.


    But the receptionist who was shocked to the core, said immediately, "But you automatically checked in a few minutes ago, so this room belongs to you."


    It was going to be a serious case if hard drugs were found in their hotel, and someone had to take the me. Since Mark was gone, Bai Jun would automatically take the fall.


    Bai Jun nearly went mad and was almost about to rip the eyes off the receptionist''s face, when she was stopped by the other hotel staff.


    "Yah! What are you trying to do?!!" Bai Jun screamed angrily as she tried to free herself from the hands of the people holding her tightly.


    Two secondster, the police dog that came with the police, sniffed out the hard drug in the washroom, and the police opened the shelf and saw the drug.


    Before Bai Jun was taken away, she was made to foot her hotel bills as the hotel managed came. And while she was handcuffed and taken away for questioning, the reporters and journalists, snapped away and followed her, while asking several questions.


    Soon, it made it to the news that Bai Jun was caught in possession of a hard drug at XXXXX Hotel where she checked in and has been taken into police custody.


    When FangSu saw the news, she scoffed. "She really doesn''t know when to stop. I hope she is happy with this new attention she got."


    Bai Fen was shocked to see her daughter in the news. Unlike before, she didn''t feel any remorse or sadness for her crime, instead, she cursed at her for not keeping her out of her troubles.


    "You stupid girl! Now the media attention will be on me because I gave birth to you!" Bai Fen cursed. Since she fought with her daughter at the restaurant, the fruit of hatred began to germinate in her heart, so currently, she didn''t care about whatever happened to her.


    Soon, Fu Hua got the news from Zimo that Bai Jun had been taken into police custody, and she was already being questioned at the moment.


    "...Sir, do you want me to put pressure to convict her of the crime?" Zimo asked.


    "There is no need, I changed my mind about this..." Fu Hua said with a slight smile to Zimo''s surprise.


    Later, Fu Hua exined to him and therefore asked him to allow the police to do their job. No matter how things turned out, they would not interfere with thew.


    "But Sir, do you have another way to take care of Miss Bai if her sentence is not long?" Zimo asked as he was worried that Bai Jun would still cause trouble for FangSu.


    "You know where Mu Keer is, we can always send her there if she even has the tiniest thought of crossing the line again." Fu Hua said and Zimo nodded in understanding.


    Fu Hua''s n really yed out well...


    During the investigation, Bai Jun denied knowing about the drugs, and she also revealed Mark was the owner of the room before she came in.


    When she was asked how she knew Mark and the reason he came down to China, Bai Jun answered them.


    She said the truth about how she knew Mark, but she lied about why he came down to China. How could she openly say that he came down to China because of the n to ruin FangSu''s rtionship and win her over? That was not possible.


    The interrogation went on for hours and that scared Bai Jun. She told some truths, but the lies were more than the truths.


    After the first day of interrogation, the police locked her back in the cell, while two detectives who interrogated her, went out to investigate her responses, to find out how urate her responses were.


    Because Mark who used that room before Bai Jun, was FangSu''s ex, since Bai Jun mentioned it as she wanted FangSu to be involved in that case, the detectives approached FangSu.


    Even before they could meet FangSu, Fu Hua heard about it but kept quiet. When Jia Li heard about it, she was worried and asked Fu Hua if he was not going to check on his sister, but he replied...


    "FangSu can take care of this matter herself."


    "Are you sure? Won''t you send someone to take a look?" Jia Li asked with furrowed brows.


    Fu Hua smiled and assured her, "Don''t worry, everything will be taken care of. FangSu is safe and you shouldn''t worry about her."

    Since he said that everything would be alright, Jia Li stopped worrying a bit, and sent FangSu a text, asking her to call her as soon as she got time to make a call.


    FangSu was currently speaking with the two detectives at her agency. They hade directly to her workce to speak to her, concerning Mark and Bai Jun.


    FangSu initially, did not want to mention Mark doing drugs before they broke up, because she wanted Bai Jun to rot in jail, but on second thought, she said the truth, especially when the detectives asked for the reason she broke up with her boyfriend.


    "Miss Fu, do you think that Miss Bai who is your ex-best friend, has nothing to do with the hard drugs in the room she lodged in? Do you think she is innocent?"


    FangSu smiled and said, "I wouldn''t say she is innocent, because she is aware that Mark is into drugs. Since she knew this, she shouldn''t have gotten involved with him."


    The detectives nodded and threw another question at her, "Do you have any idea of the reason your ex-boyfriend came to China?"


    FangSu was not caught unaware of these questions, not because she knew she would be asked that question, but because she already knew the response to give.


    "Please address Mark as Mark and not as my ex-boyfriend. I wouldn''t know why he came down here all the way from the united states, but what I do know is that he collided with Miss Bai to ruin my fiance''s birthday party. You can verify what I''m saying from XXXXX club and the police station they spent the night at."


    The detectives asked FangSu some other questions which she gave a reply before they left.


    FangSu finally got some time and saw Jia Li''s text, and gave her a call. Her voice sounded cheerful from the end which helped to calm Jia Li down.


    After making sure that she was fine, Jia Li asked her out for dinner. "Let''s dine at XXXXX by 5 pm."


    "You are taking me out? This is good news! I wish I could get into more trouble now, so you can pay more attention to me." FangSu whileughing. She was very happy that she got a dinner date with her sister-inw.


    "Don''t talk like that..." Jia Li cautioned. She didn''t like the fact that she talked about getting into trouble.


    FangSu took the correction and said she would meet her at the restaurant by that time, just before their conversation came to an end.


    The investigation on the hard drugs found in the room FangSu had booked after Mark, continued. Bai Jun still denied knowing about the hard drug and where it came from, but a test conducted on her showed that she had ingested the hard drug itself.


    If she had nothing to do with it, how then did she get to ingest it? Bai Jun was also shocked when the test results came back positive, she nearly fainted. She was in Panic and shock after the test result was shown to her. Even she became confused and wondered if she had mistakenly taken the hard drug.


    During the few minutes break, she was given before the interrogation continued, Bai Jun used it to recover from her shock.


    Now back to questioning, she was asked how she came in contact with the drug, why she took it, how long she has been doing it, and the dealer she bought it from.


    There was no way Bai Jun could answer that question because she truly had no knowledge of the drug, so she med Mark for it.


    "It must be Mark, I''m sure he set me up! He was the one that asked me toe to see him at the hotel, without knowing that he had already checked out. He told me toe over to talk about something."


    "Surely he must have told you what he wanted to talk about, so what was it?" The detective asked, but Bai Jun could not give any response, because she was guilty on that part.


    "We wanted to talk about business, anyway, forget it. I think Mark did this to me, it''s obvious!" FangSu insisted.


    "And why do you think he would do this to you since you two were close?"


    When Bai Jun refused to answer that question, the second detective helped her out. He asked if it was because they were locked up in the police station for crashing FangSu''s party.


    Seeing her shocked gaze, the detectives confirmed that their guesses were right.


    "Miss Bai, you don''t know the deep trouble you are in, and my advice to you is to start talking and say the truth."


    The detectives went on to tell her about the real truth they found out despite the lies she had told them before, which shocked her a little.


    Bai Jun didn''t want to get into more trouble, so she ended up spilling the truth to some of the questions she was asked earlier.


    Further investigation, showed that Bai Jun didn''t know about the drugs, but the detectives needed a piece of hard evidence to prove it since she lied about Mark in the beginning and purposely hid the fact that he was into drugs before.


    More questions about the hotel were asked, and Bai Jun told her story. She said everything that transpired from the time Mark called her in the morning of the previous day and told her toe over, till the time she was arrested and taken into custody.


    The detectives were able to guess something from what she told them. She had taken an orange juice which was already in the refrigerator of the hotel room, before ordering some dishes.


    To the detectives, it was possible that she must have ingested the drug through the orange juice or the food she ate at the hotel.


    The room tie drug was still locked, and the entire hotel had stopped operation since the incident, and from this new deduction, the detectives went back to the hotel to investigate.

 Chapter 666 Relocation

    <h4>Chapter 666 Relocation</h4>


    The CCTV camera at the hotel was checked, but nothing linked Mark and Bai Jun to the hard drug found in the room they both entered.


    The conclusion after watching the CCTV footage leading to that room was that it was either Mark had the drugs in his pocket, or Bai Jun had the drug in her bag and wanted to nt it in the room in other to frame Mark.


    Several spections rose, and more investigations were carried out. In Bai Jun''s story, she had a cup of orange juice and a meal at the hotel. One was provided by Mark, and the order was from the hotel.


    When further investigations were done to find out how Bai Jun ingested the hard drug, nothing much was found. The empty juice cup Bai Jun disposed of in the waste bin, was taken out that same hour, and disposed of, so that evidence was lost.


    At longst, Bai Jun spent several days in police custody until evidence was found against Mark.


    Although Bai Jun has been released from prison, she didn''t have the same guts she had as before. She was found guilty of conniving with Mark to plot against FangSu, so, some charges were made against her.


    After spending a lot of money to free herself from the charges or spend 6 months in jail, she escaped to her apartment. With the help of an agent, she sold off every expensive designers item she had.


    She still had a few months before her house rent expires, but she found herself lucky to receive her bnce because she wanted to leave that environment. She ended up selling the pieces of furniture and every item in her apartment that Mark got for her, although they were not much.


    Gathering all the money she realized from seeking her expensive properties, she paid 98% of it into her bank ount. Next, she took her remaining properties and left the city.


    Bai Jun found a small town to settle down in another city. She was forced to be wise after finding out that she had no more reputation left to savage. Markpletely destroyed the one she had.


    Although she was not found guilty of hard drugs, and the news was announced, it still wasn''t enough to get people to stop talking. She knew her time was up, and the next trouble she causes willnd a sentence of spending the rest of her life in prison.


    Bai Jun wanted revenge, but she also don''t want to die disgracefully like Alix who ended up not achieving anything before died.


    Several times, Bai Jun had thought of the possibility of failing to get revenge and the consequences that will follow. Thinking about it, she decided to give herself a second chance to find a new life.


    She deleted her social media ounts and sold her phone because she didn''t want to be distributed or tempted by any news, and gradually, Bai Jun disappeared from the inte, and her whereabouts remained unknown, but not to Fu Hua.


    Zimo just finished reporting the location Bai Jun decided to settle in because Fu Hua wanted an eye on her.


    Fu Hua was satisfied and rxed now. Mark was being taken care of in the states, and Bai Jun was finally clear on the path she wants to follow now.


    "Take a day off from work tomorrow, and make sure to rx all you want." Fu Hua said. This was the reward he was giving to him for his hard work and diligence.


    Zimo thanked him and left. Now the two household viins were gone!


    After work, Fu Hua took Jia Li out for dinner. And wondering what asion they were celebrating, Jia Li asked about it.


    "Did thepany sign a new deal? Did you win a trophy or an award?"


    "Can''t I take my wife out for dinner for no particr reason?" Fu Hua asked with a smile as he took her hand and walked off the elevator together.


    Jia Li smiled and followed after him. "You are being so sweet this evening."


    "I have been nothing but sweet since we came together." Fu Hua replied as they approached his car together.


    "You are so cheesy." Jia Li giggled.


    Fu Hua took Jia Li to a new fancy French restaurant that opened, to have dinner. The menu had different dishes which Jia Li was unfamiliar with.


    "I wish I could understand everything that is written here so I can make my choice." Jia Li said with a pout. It really was frustrating when you don''t know what to pick because you can''t understand a particrnguage.


    Fu Hua smiled andforted her, "You have your husband here, so why the struggle?" Fu Hua went on to call the waiter to exin the dishes to his wife.


    The image of dishes the restaurants offered, were on the menu, but Jia Li''s main interest was in knowing what was used to make them, so she could the ones that she liked.


    After exining the dishes to her, Jia Li finally made her pick.


    "When you said I had you here, I thought you were going to exin it yourself, who knew you would call the waiter over." Jia Li teased.


    Fu Hua touched his brows and said, "I wanted to give you premium satisfaction, so I called a waiter who had a better understanding than me."


    "What a good husband. You ordered wine, is it meant for me alone because you can''t drink and drive?" Jia Li asked.


    Among the order they made, a bottle of an expensive French wine was included. It was wrong to drive after drinking, so Jia Li had to confirm her doubts.


    "I will drink with you, someone will drive us home." Fu Hua revealed with a smile.


    "Who?" Jia Li inquired with a curious gaze.


    "Ling will, he is close by. He didn''te out with his car, so he can drive us home." Fu Hua replied.


    Jia Li folded her arms under her chest and said with a narrowed gaze, "You are going to turn your cousin into a driver?"


    "I asked for help, and he was avable to offer it." Came Fu Hua''s response.

 Chapter 667 The familiar figure

    <h4>Chapter 667 The familiar figure</h4>


    Jia Li sighed without another word. When Fu Hua saw the two waiters wheeling their dishes towards them, he said to Jia Li, "The food is here."


    After the food was served, and some of the wine from the bottle, was poured into their wine sses, Jia Li and Fu clinked sses and drank from them.


    "The wine tastes good." Jia Li said and finished the remaining content of her ss.


    "Take it easy," Fu Hua said as he put down his ss and poured more wine for her. The way she downed the whole thing because she liked it, amused him greatly.


    Jia Li beamed with a smile as she took a good look at the wine bottle, "I love the taste, can I drink more?"


    "You can, but you need to eat the foodid out in front of you first." Fu Hua advised.


    "The food is not a problem, I just want to make sure that I can take more of this wine. It doesn''t taste like it has much alcohol content or does it? As much as I like this wine, I don''t want to home drunk or tipsy, I can''t teach bad values to my daughter." Jia Li said.


    The mother is one was worried about the wine having a high alcoholic content because she didn''t have enough alcohol tolerance. Also, she was worried about appearing in a drunken state and being seen by her little girl.


    Jia Li was being really careful about what the little girl sees, hears, and says.


    Fu Hua smiled at her wariness and concern about the values their little girl should learn from them.


    "The wine is non-alcoholic, so you can enjoy it, but don''t forget your food."


    Fu Hua''s verdict was all it took for Jia Li to finish up her second ss of wine before she started to eat.


    After a few bites, Jia Li''s face changed and Fu Hua noticed it, "What''s wrong? The food is not to your taste?"


    "It has a weird taste in my mouth, or maybe it''s my thirst bud. Try it and see." Jia Li said as she pushed the te of food she just took a few bites to Fu Hua''s side.


    Fu Hua tried the food and found nothing wrong with it. He nced at Jia Li, "There is nothing wrong with the food to me. What don''t you like about it?"


    "I think it''s the cream, is too much, I don''t like it." Jia Liined. At first, when she tried the dish, she thought she could manage, but a few more bites, made her want to throw up.


    "Try the second dish then, I will eat this one for you." Fu Hua said while pointing at the second te of food in front of her.


    When Jia Li tried it, she seemed satisfied and neverined about it until she finished the food.


    "I know why you didn''t like the other dish, the was cream was sour, and the taste of ginger and garlic wasn''t exempted. But it was still good for me." Fu Hua said wiping the corner of his life with a table napkin.


    "I don''t really like tasting those spices, but it felt especially weird in that cream." Jia Li said as she drank from her wine ss.


    Fu Hua smiled and stretched forth his hand towards the bottle of wine, but as he lifted it, he discovered that it was light. Getting a good nce at it, he discovered that it was empty.


    Jia Li quickly threw her face away before their taxes could meet. Fu Hua smiled and said, "I only drank one ss of wine throughout this meal. But you, how many sses did you take?"


    "It doesn''t matter." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    Fu Hua didn''t know what else to say to her, and before he could think of something, a call came in on his phone.


    ncing at the caller ID, he said to Jia Li before epting the call, "It looks like Ling is here."


    "Juste straight to table 7 when you get in." Fu Hua said over the phone.


    "Why make him wait when we are done eating?" Jia Li inquired.


    "Your food has to digest a little." Fu Hua replied with a smirk.


    When Ling walked into the restaurant, he nced around and found them before making his way over.


    He had attended a meeting nearby and had nned to take a cab home or find YingPei to take him before Fu Hua called for him.


    While chatting with Jia Li and Fu Hua, Ling saw a familiar face from his peripheral view was a bit shocked. Jia Li caught him spacing out and called his attention, "Ling, is everything okay?"


    Ling managed a smile and nodded, "Cousin, are you ready to go back now?"


    "Yes," Fu Hua said as he got up from his seat and went to Jia Li''s side to help her up.


    While leaving, Ling had his face on the same a lot he saw the familiar face, but he couldn''t find her.


    On their way back home, Fu Hua and Lin talked about how his gamepany was doing.


    "If you need any contact, don''t fail to reach me. You can''t build something alone, you will always need people''s help along the way. Don''t think that you should struggle to get something when there is a faster process for it." Fu Hua advised Ling.


    Ling was used to doing things by himself, which was good. But his bad habit was that he doesn''t ask for help that much from his family.


    Fu Hua believed that if any of them needed help, the rest should be there for them.


    Fu Ling was after doing everything himself because he didn''t want to be seen as someone who got help from his family to start up something or attain a particr level.


    Ling nodded in response to what his older cousin had just said to him.


    When the trio got back home, Jia Li was d that she wasn''t tipsy or drunk, because Jasmine immediately ran to them once she saw them step inside the house.

    <h4>Chapter 668 Dirty words vs Romantic words</h4>


    It was a surprise seeing Xin at the restaurant he went to pick up Fu Hua and Jia Li from. Ling never imagined that she would go there to work. Since setting his eyes on her, he has been unable to get his mind off her.


    ''Maybe I should go see her, and then my mind will be at ease.'' He thought, but the next second, he had to ask himself the reason he had to see her first before his mind would be at ease. Ling was unaware of his emotion, and it was annoying.


    Having decided to check the restaurant again as soon as possible, Ling went to take a shower.


    "What''s wrong, what are you starting at so seriously?" Fu Hua asked Jia Li who was sitting on the bed and staring at her phone intently. She seemed lost and he had to call her attention.


    With Fu Hua interfering with her thoughts, Jia Li turned off the screen light of her phone and smiled.


    "I was checking my calendar as I am very expectant of the day the materials for my next project will be shipped in."


    Fu Hua put his hands inside his trouser pockets and said with a calm gaze, "So, it''s the date far?"


    "Yes, it is," Jia Li replied with a scrunched face. Fu Hua had to step a bit closer to her to speak with a smile.


    "It''s not that far. It only seems to because you have your mind on it. Two weeks is not that far, while waiting for the materials to be shipped, you should focus your mind on another important matter." Fu Hua advised.


    Jia Li sighed and said in disappointment, "This was the time I needed your sweet gestures and not an advice from a Boss to an employee."


    "I can''t spoil you all the time." Fu Hua said and stretched out his hand to ruffle her hair. Jia Li had to quickly push his hands away before he ruined her looks.


    Fu Hua smacked his lips saying, "I''m going to take a long bath, do you want to join me?"


    "Forget it." Jia Li replied with an annoyed look as she tried to arrange her hair.


    Fu Hua nced at her hair, and then back to her face before dishing out a suggestion, "Why don''t I help you to wash, oil, andb your hair? It''s been a while."


    "I can go to the saloon next weekend to get my hair done if I need help." Cane Jia Li''s reply after she took her hands off her hair and raised her phone to see her reflection on the nk screen.


    Without a word, Fu Hua snatched her from her with one hand, and before she could protest, he used the other hand to pull her out of bed, but Jia Li proved stubborn.


    Jia Li didn''t want to be obedient, so she gave Fu Hua a hard time to the extent that he couldn''t pull out of bed with one hand.


    "I see that you are being stubborn on purpose. Not to worry, I will get over it." Fu Hua whispered with a smile. The next thing he did was to throw her phone on the bed and added the support of his other hand which was now free, to lift her from the bed.


    Jia Li smiled and wrapped her hands over his neck. She seemed to be enjoying being in his arms.


    "Was this what you were looking for? You should have told me that you needed this, was this hard to say?" Fu Hua teased as he carried her into the inner room.


    "I didn''t need to say it, but you already did what I wanted." Jia Li imed with a proud smile.


    Fu Hua chuckled softly and continued in his steps. He had something to say, but he preferred not to.


    "What''s funny?" Jia Li asked.


    "You look as stubborn as our daughter." Fu Hua replied.


    Jia Li''s mouth was wild open at his statement. "Now you are saying your little princess is stubborn?"


    "She can be stubborn at times, and if I didn''t see you eating like her, I would have continued to be in confusion as she where she got that character from." Fu Hua said with a low chuckle.


    Jia Li jumped down from his embrace and asked with a stubborn expression on her face, "Are you saying that I deceived you with the impression you had of me before?"


    Fu Hua shook his head and replied with a big smile on his face, "I''m saying that you are not as well behaved as you were when I first knew you."


    Jia Li put her hands on her waist and asked, "When do you want us to go back to how we used to behave and act around each other? If you agree, then make sure to push my daughter back inside my stomach."


    Fu Hua couldn''t helpughing out loud because of her funny statement, and how funny her facial expression looked.


    "I like all shades of you, so what''s there to be annoyed about?" Fu Hua said as his eyes hovered all over her body, and then added with a meaningful smile, "I love everything about you."


    "Pervert!" Jia Li said and went to sit on the couch.


    Fu Hua was bored and felt that he hasn''t found her trouble yet, so he followed after her. He came to stand right in front of her and continued,


    "Sweetheart, you can''t call me a pervert for staring at your body. Since we are husband and wife, we are one. Your body belongs to me, and my body belongs to you, so we are free to stare at it and touch it all we want."


    "Why are your words so dirty?" Jia Li asked with folded arms while staring at him intently. She really wanted to know what was wrong with him.


    Fu Hua squeezed his face in pain and he clutched the area around his heart and said with a painful gaze at her, "Sweetheart, you can''t say that, my words are romantic and not dirty."

 Chapter 669 Why am I so anxious?

    <h4>Chapter 669 Why am I so anxious?</h4>


    Jia Li rolled her eyes before getting off the chairs and going to stand in front of the standing mirror to take a good look at herself.


    After having a good nce at herself in the mirror, she reached out to touch her waist, before reaching for her face with her palms.


    When she pressed her cheeks, she took her hands off, before using a finger to press her cheek while Fu Hua watched her in confusion.


    "What are you doing?" Fu Hua asked as he took a few steps closer to her.


    Jia Li took her gaze off the mirror for a few seconds to ask, "Do you think I''m putting on weight?"


    "Did you just notice it now, my arms almost broke when I lifted you from the bed to this ce?" Fu Hua said with a smirk. There was a hidden smile. behind that smirk, but Jia Li was too preupied with his words to see it.


    "Really? Like seriously, did I put on weight?" Jia Li asked with a shocked-filled gaze. Her eyes were about to pop out of her eye sockets, and this tempted Fu Hua tough, but he got a good grasp of his emotions.


    Fu Hua coughed before nodding his head in response.


    Suddenly Jia Li who was worried about putting on weight smiled and said to him, "Then I shouldn''t lose weight, instead you should be the one to work out more so you would be able to carry your wife no matter how much she weighs."


    "Is this you being shameless right now?" Fu Hua asked with a smallugh. He couldn''t believe that his wife could be sarcastic. She really was good with words.


    "If you say that I am shameless, I can''t deny it, but then my homelessness can never bepared to yours." Saying that Jia Li took a few steps toward him. And now that she closed the gap between them, she said with a loving smile, "Darling, make sure to work out more often, otherwise, you would be very weak and lose to me."


    A satisfied smile yed on Jia Li''s lips, and she was about to walk away when Fu Hua suddenly swept her off her feet. Jia Li let out a yelp and held him tightly as he twirled with her in his arms.


    "No matter how much weight you put on, I will still be able to lift you and twirl this way." Fu Hua said to her as a smile could be detected in his tone.


    Jia Li had to beg him to stop twirling because she was dizzy. Luckily, Fu Hua took her words seriously and stopped. But then, she wanted to jump out of his arms, only to do that and nearly fall since her surrounding was still turning in her eyes.


    Fu Hua quickly held her and brought her into his arms, "Are you okay? why did you jump off immediately?"


    Jia Li still had her fingers pressed on her temples as she replied, "Looks like you are not the only one that needs to keep fit."


    Some minutester, Jia Li and Fu Hua were in the bathtub taking turns helping each old rub their backs.


    Currently, Fu Hua was helping Jia Li to shampoo her hair, after which he massaged the shampoo into her head for a while. Jia Li enjoyed this little hair massage section with her eyes closed. And finally, when it was done, she opened her eyes and frowned at her husband.


    "Why are you looking at me that way?" Fu Hua asked with a low chuckle as he rinsed off the shampoo from her hair.


    "Why did you stop?" Jia Li questioned with a pout. She was unsatisfied that he stopped the massage she was enjoying greatly.


    Fu Hua continued rinsing off the foam from her head while replying with a smile, "Should I have let you fall asleep then?"


    Jia Li did not reply. She was still fuming within her until Fu Huapromised.


    "Would you like to go to the spa within the week?"


    "Forget it, I don''t have time for it." Jia Li replied. She had an important project she was working on, and so, a massage was totally out of her agenda at the moment.


    After washing up and getting dressed, Jia Li and Fu Hua got into bed.


    "Good night." Fu Hua said after turning off hismp and then closing his eyes.


    "Good night." Jia Li replied and turned off her bedsidemp as well. Fu Hua had his eyes closed because he was ready to go to bed, but Jia Li was not, as something was bothering her, and she didn''t want to talk to Fu Hua about it yet until she was sure of it.


    Picking up her phone again, Jia Li went back to her calendar to check on the dates. "When will ite?" She whispered to herself as she bit on her fingernails.


    ''Why am I so anxious?!'' Jia Li thought to herself with a sigh. After two seconds of staring into space, she turned off the light from her phone and kept it on the nightstand before tucking herself in.


    Throughout the night, Jia Li was restless and when she finally slept and woke up in the morning, Fu Hua was already up and was staring at her.


    "Sweetheart, are you okay?" Fu Hua asked with a slight worry in his tone. He couldn''t help but ask because her rolling around in the sheetsst night disturbed his sleepst night, and that was how he guessed that something was wrong with her.


    He didn''t want to ask her about it in the middle of the night, so he waited till the morning to ask.


    "Yeah, I''m fine. Do I look like I am not okay?" Jia Li asked with a nervous gaze. She tried to mask her anxiousness but Fu Hua seemed to have seen it in her eyes and came to sit next to her on the bed.


    "Sweetheart, can you stop denying the fact that something is wrong with you? You can talk to me, and we can think of a solution together."

 Chapter 670 Her troubled emotions

    <h4>Chapter 670 Her troubled emotions</h4>


    "No! There is no solution to it, don''t worry, I will handle it." Jia Li said immediately. Her expression at this moment exposed the fact that she was hiding something.


    Fu Hua was surprised by her outburst, and Jia Li knowing that she let her emotions out of control, sighed and was about to apologize...


    "I...I..." Jia Li managed to say with shaky hands, before rushing out of the bed and into the inner room with lightning speed.


    Fu Hua saw that her facial expression didn''t look good when she was running away, but he thought she just wanted to escape from him, so followed her.


    Fu Hua just got to the bathroom door only to hear her wrenching her guts out. Afraid that something was wrong he pushed the open at lightning speed, only to see Jia Li''s head buried in the toilet seat.


    Fu Hua quickly rushed to her side to pull her up, and then, he saw that her face looked very pale, and her body was shaking.


    "Sweetheart, what''s wrong?" Fu Hua asked in an afraid tone.


    "Don''t shake me." Jia Li managed to say before burying her head in the toilet seat again.


    Fu Hua saw that she still had something more to throw up and left her while watching her closely with a frown covering his entire face.


    A minuteter, Jia Li raised her head and was breathing heavily, "I almost vomited my gall dder! Gush, my throat is so bitter now!"


    "Why are you vomiting all of a sudden, did you eat something bad?" Fu Hua asked as he tried to help her up but then noticed that her body was shaken.


    He was done having her say that nothing was wrong with her. His worry turned to annoyance as he asked while helping her towards the sink to clean up.


    "Jia Li, can you talk to me? I am your husband, and we are supposed to share everything with each other."


    "I said I''m fine." Jia Li said breathlessly while approaching the sink, before rinsing her mouth and washing her face with him holding her steadily from behind.


    "How can you be fine when you are throwing up, breathing heavily and your hands are shaking repeatedly?" Fu Hua asked as he passed her a face towel to wipe her face.


    Jia Li took the face towel to wipe her face and handed it back to him after she was done. There is no need to deny that nothing was wrong with her when the signs were clearly visible.


    Jia Li sighed and spoke steadily while still staring at herself in the mirror, "I''m sorry for lying. I thought I would be better today than yesterday."


    "So, what is wrong with you?" Fu Hua asked as he came back to her side again. They both were staring at themselves in the mirror. Fu Hua had a serious expression on his face while Jia Li looked tired.


    Turning to face him whole rxing her back and hands on the sink to hold her bnce, Jia Li looked him in the eye and replied, "There is nothing serious wrong with me. I''m this way because I''m nervous, anxious, and afraid."


    "And what''s the reason you have these emotions? Surely, something must have caused it." Fu Hua asked.


    ''Should I tell him?'' Jia Li thought to herself. Right now, her thoughts were conflicted. She didn''t know if she should tell Fu Hua what was actually wrong with her, or just keep mute and wave it off, so he wouldn''t be bothered like her.


    Jia Li shut her eyes and brought a hand to her face, forgetting that it was still shaking, and when Fu Hua caught sight of it, his frown deepened.


    "It''s clear to me that you are not going to say anything. Brush your teeth, I will be right back with a cup of hot tea, just make sure you don''t sleep and fall till Ie back."


    After saying that to her, Fu Hua walked away. His back doesn''t reveal his thoughts and any emotion apart from frustration.


    Yes, he was frustrated because of his wife''s inability to talk to him about her troubles. Jia Li saw this and felt bad. She thought it wouldn''t be bad if she protected him from worries.


    She was going through an emotional problem, and she knew how it feels, so she didn''t want him to be in the same situation as her. For her, one of them still had to stay sane, because she was almost going crazy.


    Jia Li tried the simplest breathing technique to calm her nerves down. She breathed in and out a few times before she felt a little better.


    She picked up her toothbrush and put some toothpaste on it and began to brush her teeth while thinking about a lot of things.


    When Fu Hua returned with the cup of hot tea, she was justing out from the inner room.


    "Come and sit here." Fu Hua instructed with his gaze on her.


    Jia Li paused in her steps to take a look at his facial expression and then at the cup of tea he set on the table for her, before going over to sit obediently.


    Fu Hua blew on the hot tea for some seconds before handing it to her. "It''s still a bit hot, but you can sip it, and that way, it will work."


    Fu Hua had brought a cup of chamomile tea to calm her nerves. The scent of the tea was already working, even before Jia Li could taste it.


    There was this brief calming sensation Jia Li felt when she perceived the tea scent. And atst, when she tasted it, she felt peace within her.


    "Thank you!" Jia Li said softly after a few sips from the tea.


    "Do you feel a little bit better now?" Fu Hua asked from the side, and she nodded in response.


    Fu Hua checked the time from the table clock on the nightstand before turning to say to her, "If you still don''t feel better after breakfast today, take some hours off from work, or you can take the entire day off if you don''t feel better. I will take you to the hospital after work today."

 Chapter 671 Fu Hua is troubled

    <h4>Chapter 671 Fu Hua is troubled</h4>


    Fu Hua wanted to leave for the washroom when Jia Li quickly pulled his hand to stop him from leaving.


    Jia Li was feeling guilty within her. She slowly looked up at him to say, "I feel better now, so I wille to work with you."


    Fu Hua released a deep sigh. He was really disappointed that she still wasn''t telling him anything, but his love for her made him not be rude or act with the true emotions of disappointment and annoyance he was feeling at the moment.


    "Finish your tea first, wash up ande down for breakfast. I''m going to check on Da Xia." Fu Hua said before slowly letting her hand go. Now instead of going to the washroom as he wanted before, he went outside the bedroom to check on Jasmine who was getting dressed for school.


    When Fu Hua left, Jia Li finished her tea and heaved a sigh of relief. Next, she went to the bathroom to wash up before getting dressed for work.


    On her way out, Jia Li met her little girl holding her father''s hand and talking about adding her quickly.


    "Jasmine!" Jia Li called out affectionately and walked towards her in quick steps.


    "Mummy!" The little girl called out excitedly as she left her father and ran to her side to hug her legs. Jia Li had to lift her in her arms and shower her with kisses.


    Fu Hua just stood at the side and watched the mother and daughter greet and chat affectionately for a few minutes before walking over. He took Jia Li''s handbag.


    "I will walk ahead of you too, don''t bete." He said and walked off.


    "Mummy, can I take some gummy bears to school?" Jasmine requested with a big smile. Jia Li couldn''t say no to her cute little girl as she was infected by her smile.


    "Alright, mummy will put a few pieces in your bag because of your teeth." Jia Li said in eptance and pinched her cheeks gently.


    Along the hallway, Fu Hua met his mother. He greeted her and wanted to walk past her, but she called him back. She noticed that his mood was off and asked about it.


    "Why is your face like that?"


    "My face? Don''t I look perfectly normal?" Fu Hua asked with creased brows while wondering if his emotions could be seen from his countenance.


    "Did you fight with Jia Li? Or did someone from work anger you, your face looks horrible." Fu, Her asked.


    Fu Hua was quiet and tried to organize his thoughts before asking, "Mum, what do you think could be going on in a woman''s life that she has to hide from her husband?"


    From his question, Fu Hee guessed that it was the same situation he was facing with Jia Li. "Instead of asking me that question, why don''t you ask your wife about it?"


    "That''s the problem, she refused to talk about it. Why can''t she confide in me?" Fu Hua asked.


    "If she doesn''t want to talk, don''t force her to. Allow her to tell you by herself, or you forget about it if she doesn''t mention it." Fu Hee advised her.


    "But I''m worried about her." Fu Hua said immediately and then continued with a big frown on his face, "This morning, she threw up, and her hands were shivering. I asked her about it and she said she was nervous and afraid. She refused to speak further about her concerns."


    Fu Hee became worried and asked, "What is she afraid of, does it have to do with work? Is someone troubling her? Is the inte trolling her? Is she sick? Did you do something wrong to her? Hua, you have to take your wife to the hospital!"


    Fu Hua wanted toin about the several questions she was throwing at him because he had already told her that he didn''t know what was wrong with Jia Li, but it was not important.


    "She doesn''t want to go to the hospital. She said she was fine after drinking a cup of hot chamomile tea."


    "Then leave her be, I will try to talk to her when shees back from work today." Fu Hee promised.


    After breakfast that morning, Fu Hua dropped Jasmine off at school, while Jia Li left for thepany in her car.


    After the lunch break, Jia Li took permission from Sunny to go back home because she was not feeling well. Sunny immediately granted her the remaining hours off.


    Before going straight home, Jia Li branched at a pharmacy and only came out 5 minutester. Next, she went to Jasmine''s school to pick her up, before driving home.


    On their way home, Jia Li texted Fu Hua that she had already picked up Jasmine from school. Fu Hua git this text after he came to pick up Jasmine from school, but was told that Jia Li had already taken her.


    Fu Hua was not surprised that Jia Li took her because he was already aware that she took the remaining hours off work. She didn''t tell him, which didn''t bother him much.


    ''What is she hiding?'' Fu Hua thought to himself as he drove back home. He was very ufortable and decided that he must make Jia Li talk to him after he got back home.


    At home, Jia Li helped Jasmine down from her car, and immediately, the little girl left her things and ran inside the house screaming excitedly. Jia Li was toote to stop her and had to carry everything by herself.


    Her handbag, Jasmine''s school bag, lunch box, and the nylon from the pharmacy.


    As Jasmine ran inside the house, she collided with her grandmother and greeted her excitedly.


    "Da Xia, who brought you back from school, is it our daddy, where is he? How could he allow you to run in all by yourself?" Fu Hee asked worriedly.


    "My mummy brought me home," Jasmine said while pointing at the entrance door.


    "Your mummy?" Fu Hee asked with a confused gaze and turned around to nce at the door, and it was at that time that Jia Li stepped in.

 Chapter 672 Fu Hee comforts Jia Li

    <h4>Chapter 672 Fu Heeforts Jia Li</h4>


    "You are back?" Fu Hee asked with a surprise smile.


    Jia Li managed a smile as she approaches them. "Yes, Mum. I wasn''t feeling too well so I had to leave work early."


    "You are not feeling well? Then I have to call the doctor over." Fu Hee said with urgency in her tone and turned to leave, but Jia Li stopped her.


    "Mum, I''m not sick physically and it will be waste of time calling the doctor over when I can recover after plenty of rest."


    Fu Hee took a good look at her and began to reprimand her about her health in a gentle tone. She told her that although she feels that she needed plenty of rest to recover, the doctor still has to examine her to make sure it''s only stress that is troubling her.


    While the two of them were conversing, Jasmine''s eyes went to her bag and lunch box in her mother''s hands and ran over to drag them from her.


    "Mummy give me my bag!" The little girl said as she dragged the two bags from her.


    "Wait, I will give them to you!" Jia Li said in an urgent tone, as a frown covered her face. She just wished her little girl could be obedient and wait for her to bring out her bags that were entangled with her handbag and the pharmacy nylon.


    The little girl didn''t seem to hear what her mother said and continued to pull on her bags and demanded they be released at that moment.


    Fu Hee walked over to persuade the little girl, but it was toote. Jasmine had pulled her things forcefully and everything in her mother''s hands came crashing on the floor, and some contents were spilled.


    "Jasmine!" Jia Li called out angrily to the little girl who was now remorseful for her actions.


    "Mummy, I''m sorry..." The little girl said with her eyes glued to the floor.


    Jia Li sighed and asked her to stand aside, and then went down on her knees to pick up the little girl''s backpack and lunch box and handed them over to her, and then turned back to pick up the contents from her bag, which Fu Hee was already helping her out with.


    While picking the items on the floor, Fu Hee came across a pack of pregnancy test kits. How did she know it was a pregnancy test kit? Obviously, she saw the diagram of the test kit on the pack, plus the good words written on it.


    Picking it up, she took a good nce at it and had already opened her mouth in surprise, and was about to ask Jia Li If she was pregnant, but the kit got snatched from her hand with lightning speed.


    Jia Li almost fainted when she saw the test kit in her mother-inw''s hands, but she quickly took it from her and put it inside her bag and wanted to leave, but Fu Hee pulled her arm and asked in a worried tone...


    "Jia Li, are you pregnant?"


    Jia Li was already breathing heavily by now because of that question. She didn''t like that question and that is the reason she didn''t want anyone to see the test kit she bought.


    "Won''t you say something to me now?" Fu Hee said with a straight gaze at Jia Li. She really looked confused as she failed to understand her daughter-inw''s actions.


    Slowly, Jia Li nced up and fixed her gaze on her, and replied, "Mum, I don''t know if I''m pregnant."


    "Then why are you acting this way? See, your hands are shaking Are you nervous?." Fu Hee pointed out with a frown.


    As she said that, Jia Li immediately retracted her arm from her clutch. Right now tears were brimming in her eyes.


    Fu Hee was flustered and looked around to make sure nobody was there, before pulling her arm and asking in a low tone, "What is wrong? Can you take me as your mother at this point and tell me everything that is bothering you?"


    Jasmine had already left when the two women were conversing, and luckily, her Nanny who was walking in the hallway saw her and took her away.


    It turned out that the reason Jasmine was in a hurry to take her bag from her mother, was because she remained her delicious lunch in school.


    After taking off her school uniform and changing into casualfy clothing, she demanded it.


    Although it was hard for Jia Li, she forced her tears back and opened up.


    "Mum, I am not sure that I''m pregnant, and I wanted to check this silently because I don''t want anyone to be disappointed in case it turned out negative again."


    "Negative again? Has this happened before?" Fu Hee probed with a frown.


    Jia Li was silent before nodding her head and exining what happened before. She felt signs of pregnancy and was ted. She got a test kit and checked. One line was pure red, while the other one appeared faint.


    With that result, there was a possibility of her being pregnant, but she was happy, and when she finally wanted to tell Fu Hua about it so they could go to the hospital to check, she saw her period.


    Her world came crashing down. She was disappointed but she hid it from everyone. Everyone''s expectation of her having another child was what affected her the most.


    After learning the reason she was this nervous and hiding it from Fu Hua as she didn''t want him to experience the disappointment she faced, Fu Hee was almost teary and hugged her.


    "I''m so sorry. I didn''t realize the pressure of having another child was so much on you. We may have had expectations without caring about any negative consequences, we are sorry!" Fu Hee apologized.


    Jia Li hugged her back and told her not to worry. "Mum, it''s fine, I''m notining. Everyone meant well to me, but please don''t tell Hua about this, he will be disappointed that I hid this from him. I didn''t want him to worry, but I ended up making him worry."

 Chapter 673 Sudden Switch

    <h4>Chapter 673 Sudden Switch</h4>


    "It''s okay." Fu Heeforted her.


    Fu Hee sympathized with Jia Li aftering to know the kind of pressure the entire family had unknowingly put her into. The young woman has been carrying a burden all this while. She is the victim here.


    The pressure thates with childbearing can be enormous, especially when a woman is not ready, or can''t conceive. In Jia Li''s case, she was ready and with everyone''s expectancy, there was a bit of pressure on her.


    These two women hugged, oneforted the other one and agreed to keep her secret, while the other one said her thanks and dried her tears. All these happened without knowing that Fu Hua was right outside the door, listening to them.


    He has been standing since the second time Fu Hee asked Jia Li if she was pregnant therefore, he heard their entire conversation.


    He didn''t mean to eavesdrop, but because he really wanted to know what his wife was hiding from him, and because of his worries, he had to pause in his steps and listen.


    Fu Hua was really surprised by the revtion. He had no idea that his wife has been suffering silently, and he med himself a little. For her to cry, she must have suffered a lot.


    Fu Hee released Jia Li from her embrace and said, "Never put yourself under any pressure, and don''t let anyone do the same. Having another child is not an order, so you and Fu Hua can take your time."


    Jia Nodded and rubbed her left eye before saying, "Thank you, Mum. I''m going to check it now."


    "Go ahead." Fu Hee said and patted her arm twice. As Jia Li left, Fu Hua walked in, to the shock of Fu Hee who only guessed that he heard their entire conversation.


    "When did youe back? Have you been standing there all these while?" Fu Hee inquired.


    Fu Hua looked at her and asked, "Is there a problem?" Seeing his mother tongue-tied, Fu Hua walked away.


    ''Jia Li, it looks like we have no more secrets to keep.'' Fu Hee thought to herself and quickly turned around to say to her son, "Hua, don''t make any trouble!"


    "Was I supposed to make any trouble before?" Fu Hua responded as he continued in his steps.


    Fu Hee hoped that her son wouldn''t make matter out of this, but she trusted that he wasn''t that kind of person. She has never heard him argue with Jia Li before.


    ''Let''s hope he remains a good husband with values.'' Fu Hee prayed in her heart.


    Immediately Jia Li got into the bedroom, she dropped her bag on the couch, removed her shoes, and ran into the bathroom with the stic nylon bag from the pharmacy.


    There were 3 pregnancy test kits from differentpanies. Jia Li didn''t want the same mistake as thest time to repeat itself, so she was prepared.


    While removing the test kits from their packs, her hands were fidgeting and her heartbeat increased by a few paces. She wished the results wille out positive.


    After managing to get a hold of herself, Jia Li went on to use them. Next, she ced them in their packs and went on to undress and have a shower.


    Throughout the time she was in the shower, her mind was on the pregnancy test kit. She wondered what the result would be.


    Right at this time, Fu Hua walked into the room. He looked around and saw the things Jia Li left on the couch and the floor.


    He didn''t need to guess where she was because he could hear the sound of water from the bathroom. Since she was in the bathroom, Fu Hua walked into the inner room and went straight to the walk-in closet.


    He had already thought of clearing the doubts in his head and Jia Li''s head. Whether she was pregnant or not, he would have to confirm it from a doctor. For him, Pregnancy test kits were an assumption.


    With that thought in mind, Fu Hua picked an outfit for Jia Li, because on his way to the bedroom, he booked an appointment with an obstetrician. This was a serious issue he needed to handle once and for all.


    Fu Hua was trying to pick out footwear for Jia Li when he heard her scream. He abandoned what he was doing and rushed into the bathroom, only to see her on the floor, and the pregnancy test kits on the floor. She had slipped and fallen with the kits in her hands.


    Jia Li was shocked by Fu Hua''s presence and also embarrassed because of her state, but Fu Hua didn''t seem to care. He immediately scooped her into his arms and carried her to the walk-in closet.


    Jia Li was still shocked to see Fu Hua that she remained silent. ''When did hee home? When did hee into the bedroom?'' She thought to herself.


    "How could you be so careless in the bathroom?" Fu Hua asked. His countenance was frosty. He looked very annoyed and prone to violence.


    Jia Li didn''t say a word. How could she tell him that she fell because she was shocked? That would mean that she was truly careless like he said, and he would berate her the more.


    "What were you thinking?" Fu Hua asked as he put her down on the chair and gazed at her angrily. Jia Li didn''t dare to meet his gaze, she couldn''t stand the fire burning in his eyes.


    She rubbed her arm that hurt while looking downwards. Her little actions stopped him from scolding her further. At this juncture, Fu Hua didn''t know what to do anymore, he continued staring at her for a few more seconds before sighing.


    The next moment, he got closer to her and took her arm, and looked out for any bruise or injury, because the patch of her skin thatnded on the floor, was red.


    "Does it hurt?" He asked gently. The sudden switch from anger to care, took Jia Li unaware, and it made her lost.

 Chapter 674 Family Emergency

    <h4>Chapter 674 Family Emergency</h4>


    From thepany, Fu Ling left for the restaurant where he met Xin the other day. He would have easily gone to a nearby restaurant to get dinner or go home for dinner, but he made effort to go to a far distance just to see Xin with the excuse of having lunch.


    It''s been 5 minutes since Fu Ling arrived at the restaurant and made an order, but he has since not set his eyes on Xin. For a while, he thought he had seen wronglyst time.


    He had to wait until his order was brought to him before he asked the waiter some questions.


    "Is there someone by the name Xin working here?" Fu Ling inquired.


    The waited replied respectfully with a calm gaze, "Yes, Sir, but she is away today. There was an emergency at home so she took a half-day off from work."


    Having received the information, Fu Ling waved the waiter away. He didn''t believe that hising to the restaurant would be futile. After eating, he left disappointed by not seeing Xin.


    On his way back home, he began to question his reasoning foring to find Xin. He couldn''t rify the reason he wanted to see her. I mean, she had nothing to do with him anymore, so why was he still interested in her?


    Fu Ling only thought that he must have been less busy and so had thoughts that didn''t make meaning. He thought that if he was busy, he probably wouldn''t have thought about Xin.


    "Looks like I have to get busy." Fu Ling said and looked out from the car window, only to see the same familiar figure he has been thinking about.


    At first, Fu Ling thought he was hallucinating because of the frequent thoughtsing to his head. He had to clean his eyes and look in the same direction to confirm that it was truly Xin that he saw.


    Xin hade out from the pharmacy with the drugs she bought, and she looked very worried while working along the street before gging a cab down and getting into it.


    "Family emergency? Is she sick?" Fu Ling asked himself as his brows furrowed in a brown. Viable lines could be seen on his forehead, signifying his worry and dissatisfaction.


    His current countenance was simr to Fu Hua when in the same situation.


    Following the cab she got into, would be crazy, and that was what Fu Ling thought. He really wanted to find out where Xin was going, but following her would seem like he was out of his mind when he was almost going crazy because of her.


    Fu Ling had to divert his thoughts and drive back home. He didn''t know what was wrong with him, but he was thinking of cutting off whatever it was that was distracting him.


    When Fu Ling got home, that was when he saw Fu Hua and Jia Li leaving the house.


    He heard them arguing before Fu Hua held Jia Li by the hand and guided her outside the house.


    Fu Hua wanted to carry Jia Li out of the house to the hospital, but Jia Li said she could walk by herself. While arguing, Fu Hua conceded and held her by the hand.


    "Cousin, is something wrong?" Fu Ling asked Fu Hua when they got close to his side.


    "We are going to the hospital, Jia Li slipped and fell in the bathroom." Fu Hua replied. Fu Ling nodded and said a word offort to Jia Li before leaving their way so they could pass through the entrance door.


    "I told you, I''m fine, there is no need to go to the hospital." Jia Li was with a frown as Fu Hua helped her into the car.


    It was just a slight bruise that formed some minutes ago and added to the red path on her skin due to that ce colliding with the floor.


    "Are you saying that there is no need to go to the hospital?" Fu Hua asked as visible lines appeared on his forehead. His looks and tone didn''t look like he was in a good mood.


    "There is no need. The most we could do to my arm is to use an ointment on it." Jia Li replied. She didn''t want to make a fuss over a little injury.


    Fu Hua ignored her and put his focus on the road. He didn''t want to say anything to her because of how he felt at the moment.


    On getting close to the hospital, Fu Hua asked with his gaze on the road, "What kind of result did you see on the test kit to have made you scream, slip and fall?"


    This question came as a surprise to Jia Li who had no idea that he knew about her troubles and the pregnancy test kits.


    "What are you talking about?" Jia Li feigned ignorance.


    Fu Hua finally moved his gaze from the road to her face, "You can pretend all you want, but I saw the pregnancy test kits when I picked you from the floor, so what did the results say?"


    ''He saw them?'' Jia Li thought to herself in astonishment. Never would she have thought that he would see the kits while in that emergency situation.


    The reason Fu Hua saw those kits was because he already had an idea about them, so when he rushed to the bathroom to help his wife up, naturally his eyes would go to them.


    "You are not saying anything..." Fu Hua reminded her casually.


    Instead of replying to his question, Jia Li threw a question back to him. "How did you know those were pregnancy test kits?"


    "Do I look I am ignorant with some certain things? You haven''t answered my question." Fu Hua insisted that she answered his question.


    Jia Li didn''t have any more opportunity to space out or dwell on how Fu Hua found out about the test kits because his tone clearly showed his unhappiness.


    She knew that there was a silent disagreement between them since the other day, and it was time to start clearing things up.

 Chapter 675 Pregnancy confirmation

    <h4>Chapter 675 Pregnancy confirmation</h4>


    "The pregnancy test turned out positive." Jia Li revealed with her gaze downwards as she didn''t dare to face Fu Hua.


    "Since you knew the tests turned out positive, and you slipped and fell in shock, why didn''t you want to go to the hospital? Shouldn''t your priority be to make sure that everything was alright?" Fu Hua asked.


    He didn''t see any reasoning in her actions. He didn''t get to see the results on the 3 kits, but he was worried that she might have dislocated her arm or broken a bone. But knowing that she was pregnant, didn''t care to take precautions, so he was annoyed.


    Jia Li remained quiet till they got off the car. She didn''t know the reason for Fu Hua''s show of anger, and now, she was starting to get annoyed. It would be better for him to talk to her clearly than to speak that way.


    If you are angry, speak up instead of going in a roundabout manner, that was what Jia Li wanted.


    Fu Hua had driven to the same hospital he had earlier booked an appointment with. When the nurses at the reception saw him, they smiled and attended to him immediately.


    Instead of going to see the Obstetrician he booked an appointment, Fu Hua demanded emergency treatment for his wife, and all his requests were granted.


    First of all, he wanted an X-ray done on his wife. "Is it safe for a pregnant woman to get an X-ray done, I heard it''s not healthy?" Fu Hua inquired.


    One of the nurses replied, "It''s safe, and there is little or no risk."


    After getting a confirmation, Fu Hua ordered for the X-ray to be done, before the small bruise on Jia Li''s arm was treated.


    Within 20 minutes, the X-ray was done, the result was out, and it showed that all of Jia Li''s bones were intact. The only thing done to the small bruise on Jia Li''s arm was cleaning it and applying 2 different types of ointment on them, with a cool massage.


    "I can''t believe I came here for such a small matter. I''m so embarrassed." Jia Li said in a low tone as she followed Fu Hua out of the room.


    "Getting a premium treatment that was paid for, no matter how small and invalid the injury is, is not something to be embarrassed for." Fu Hua said to her.


    As they made a turn to another hallway instead of walking straight to and going back to the reception room, Jia Li asked with a confused nce, "Where are we going to?"


    "I booked an appointment with an Obstetrician, and we are going to see her right away." Fu Hua revealed.


    Jia Li heard this and stopped working. "You booked an appointment with an Obstetrician, when did you do that?"


    Jia Li was surprised by what was happening. She only told him about the test results turning positive when they were close to the hospital and throughout the time they spent in the hospital, he was with her, so when did he get the chance to book another appointment?


    Did he already know she might be pregnant, or did he guess the situation she was in? What was his reason for booking that appointment for her?


    "Do all these questions matter when we are here already?" Fu Hua asked as he pulled her arm and continued walking down the hallway.


    Since he wouldn''t give her an answer to that question, she asked, "Why do we still need to see the obstetrician when the pregnancy test kits were positive?"


    "Did I see the results with my eyes? Also, I don''t trust that thing. Doing the right test in the hospital is the best." Fu Hua replied.


    What more could Jia Li say?


    When Jia Li and Fu Hua met the Obstetrician, she was asked to take the same pregnancy test using a test kit, and a sample of her urine was taken to theboratory for another pregnancy test.


    All the pregnancy tests conducted turned out positive. This is the moment Fu Hua was supposed to be happy, the moment he has been waiting for, but no happiness was seen on his face. A knot was still tied to his heart.


    As for Jia Li, she was happy, but when she met Fu Hua''s gaze and didn''t see any sign of happiness on his face, the smile on her face slowly disappeared.


    She wondered what he was unhappy about. She was thinking if he was still angry with her for her actions the previous day, or if he didn''t want the child anymore.


    Whatever the case might be, she would have to wait till they got home before asking him.


    Before leaving the doctor''s office, Fu Hua took the list and the prescription of drugs that Jia Li would have to be taking until she gives birth.


    From the doctor''s office, they left for the drug store in the same hospital to get the drugs before going home.


    "Why are you angry with me?" Jia Li asked on their way back home. She has been disturbed a lot for her to remain quiet until they got home before throwing questions at him.


    Fu Hua nced over and asked, "Does my face show that I am angry?"


    "Of course it does, your actions say a lot as well. Are you unhappy with me or the child?" Jia Li questioned.


    Fu Hua was quiet for a while before speaking up. He had also wanted to wait till they got home before questioning her, but since she had brought up the topic now, it would be better to thrash everything out immediately.


    "Did you suspect that you were pregnant yesterday?" Fu Hua asked.


    There was a slight dy in the reply. Jia Li was conflicted. If she said the truth, he would scope her doe suffering all by herself. If she lied, and he finds out about it, she would be in more trouble, so she optioned to say the truth.


    "If you don''t want to answer my questions, then we have to close this case as it is." Fu Hua said that because of her dy in response.

 Chapter 676 Fu Hua’s three babies

    <h4>Chapter 676 Fu Hua''s three babies</h4>


    Jia Li knew if they close the topic as if nothing happened, a knot would still be tied in their hearts, and it was better to untie it when there was still time.


    With that, Jia Li said, "Yes, I did suspect that I was pregnant yesterday, but I had a reason for hiding it from you."


    "I already know the reason." Fu Hua replied immediately.


    "You know the reason, how did you know the reason?" Jia Li asked, but didn''t wait for a reply as an idea struck her. "You heard when mum and I were talking?"


    "I heard everything. Look, I don''t want to argue with you or reprimand me since I''m not like that. I just want to caution you about something. We are husband and wife, we are one since after getting married, so stop hiding things from me. I hope that I don''t have to repeat this statement." Fu Hua said to her.


    He poured out everything he wished to say to her in a good summary. He didn''t want any more problems between them.


    From his tone, Jia Li knew he was being serious, and she realized that she was wrong. Fu Hua wasn''t rude to her, but airing his mind, was a serious matter.


    "Alright, I''m sorry." Jia Li apologized.


    "There is now more thing I need to hear from you, just tell me you won''t repeat this." Fu Hua said with his gaze on her.


    He didn''t want her to apologize and repeat the same mistake, so he wanted her to promise him that.


    Jia Li sighed and said, "Alright, I promise you. I won''t keep anything from you again. So tell me, are you happy with our new baby?"


    Fu Hua smiled when the baby was mentioned and said with an expectant gaze, "Of course, I am very happy, do I need to spell it out for you?"


    "You didn''t look happy when the doctor announced the good news to us." Jia Li reminded.


    "That is because, you slipped and fell with a baby in your womb, but didn''t deem it important to visit the hospital for a check-up." Fu Hua revealed the reason for his countenance.


    Jia Li gazed through the window, "That''s because I wasn''t thinking properly. I was surprised and happy about the pregnancy result, then you shocked me bying into the bathroom when I wasn''t expecting you to be back home soon."


    "I was already at Jasmine''s school when you sent me that text, just a minute after I was told that you had taken her." Fu Hua revealed with his eyes on the road, while his hands rxed steadily on the steering.


    "Oh..." Jia Li uttered.


    The couple was quiet for a few minutes before Fu Hua spoke, "Do you want anything special to eat?"


    "Yes, I am very hungry. I will anything apart from sour cream, ginger, and garlic." Jia Li said with an irritated gaze.


    She still couldn''t forget her terrible experience at the new restaurant Fu Hua took her to. Also, she hasn''t been eating well because of her anxiety, and now that her pregnancy has been verified, she was hungry due to the excitement. Her appetite has been unlocked.


    Fu Hua thought of something and asked, "Are you sure you didn''t dislike thee food because your taste buds changed due to pregnancy?"


    "No, it''s definitely not that case. Who on earth would eat sour cream with ginger and garlic spice? It''s very weird." Jia Li said with a disgusted frown.


    "You are right," Fu Hua said while nodding. "Thebination is weird, and maybe it''s only pregnant women that will eat something like that."


    "You can''t say that... I am also a pregnant woman, but the vor of the food almost made me throw up." Jia Li replied with her gaze on him, as her countenance still showed how annoyed she was.


    Fu Hua studied her facial expression and shook his head. There was no need to argue further with her. He had wanted to tell her that every pregnancy was different, including the hormones in other pregnant women, but he decided not to say anything.


    He could tell that she was starting to get very annoyed, and maybe her pregnancy hormones were starting to get full control of her emotions.


    Instead of keeping quiet, Fu Hua decided to change topics and cha with her, so she wouldn''t still think about that foodbination.


    "What would you like to eat? Which restaurant would you like us to go to?" Fu Hua asked as he nced over.


    Jia Li smiled at that question and said, "A spicy noodle would do. Would you mind cooking for me?"


    Fu Hua darted his eyes in her direction in astonishment. He was thinking she was going to mention some special dishes that were hard to get, or probably expensive, but she optioned for a spicy noodle?


    Another shock he got, was her second request. She wanted him to cook the spicy noodle for her.


    "You can eat whatever you want, and I won''t mind. But you see your second request, I do mind it." Fu Hua said and turned his gaze away and focused on the road.


    He couldn''t imagine himself entering the kitchen to cook a pot of spicy noodles for her hence, he rejected her outrightly.


    Jia Li pouted and pulled his arm gently, "You don''t want to cook for your babies?"


    "Babies?" Fu Hua asked as he turned over to look at her with a confused gaze. "Are we having twins?"


    "What things? You have three babies currently. I am your first baby, Jasmine is your second, and the one in my womb is your third baby. But right now, there are two babies in front of you and requesting the same thing." Jia Li exined.


    "You have truly be shameless..." Fu Hua said in a low tone and turned back his gaze to the road.


    Jia Li smiled at his response and raised her fingers to tap on the car''s window on her side. She didn''t need to hear Fu Hua speak or nod before knowing that he has epted to cook spicy noodles for her.

 Chapter 677 Spicy chicken noodle soup

    <h4>Chapter 677 Spicy chicken noodle soup</h4>


    The next minute, Fu Hua couldn''t believe that he was in a supermarket shopping for ingredients to cook Spicy chicken noodle soup.


    As Jia Li pulled Fu Hua to the noodles section, she asked, "Why is there a huge frown sitting on your face? If someone didn''t know better, they would think I have offended you."


    "Don''t you know you have offended me?" Fu Hua asked and followed her to the shelf for a particr noodle.


    "How can you be so petty? You are not normally this way. You were always loving and anything I wanted, you will give to me, why are you acting this way?" Jia Li asked.


    She felt that there was another personality inside of him currently. As she said, he used to do whatever he could to make herfortable, but today, he was being so reluctant, especially in her condition.


    "Am I not allowed to be this way?" Fu Hua asked in a tired tone.


    "No, never! You have always been good and kind to me, so don''t deviate. That''s the only side of you I amfortable with and ept wholeheartedly." Jia Li said to him.


    What more could Fu Hua say? He just let her do whatever she wanted. After shopping for the noodle stuff, Fu Hua went to the snacks section and picked a few varieties for her and Jasmine.


    While shopping for snacks, Jia Li stood by the side and watched him. If he showed her any snacks she didn''t like, she would shake her head and turn away like a child.


    ''Are you serious right now?'' Fu Hua thought as lines appeared on his forehead. He was beginning to get a headache.


    The snacks Fu Hua purchased were all healthy, and he mainly picked some nuts like almond and cashew.


    When they got back home, Fu Hee who has been restless, after learning from Fu Ling about Jia Li slipping and falling in the bathroom, and being taken to the hospital by Fu Hua, sighed in relief when she saw the couple.


    Fu Hee didn''t wait for their greetings as she quickly made her way towards them. Taking Jia Li''s arm, she checked her out while asking, "I heard you fell in the bathroom, are you alright?"


    Jia Li smiled immediately and assured her that she was fine, "Mum, I''m fine, I only got a little bruise."


    "A little bruise? Don''t you know how serious this issue could be if you had hit your head on the tiles, or your stomach, given that you are pregnant?" Fu Hua scolded.


    What was it that Fu Hua was talking about? None of it concerned Fu Hee right now, other than the fact that he mentioned Jia Li being pregnant.


    Fu Hee gazed at Jia Li as if to confirm that she just heard. "Are you pregnant?"


    A blush quickly crept up Jia Li''s cheeks. That question made her shy, but it didn''t stop her from responding. She nodded and replied, "Yes Mum, I''m pregnant."


    Fu Hee couldn''t hide her excitement after getting the information from Jia Li. She embraced her and said words of adoration to her.


    Fu Hua nced at the two women embracing each other with a frown, and when he couldn''t take it any longer, he separated them and pulled Jia Li away by the arm.


    Fu Hee could only stand in her original position and said with a re directed at Fu Hua, "Jealous boy!"


    "Can you take it easy when you are pulling me around, I am pregnant, remember?" Jia Li gloated.


    "I won''t be surprised if you want me to lie on the floor so you can step on my back because you are pregnant." Fu Hua said without stopping in his steps.


    Jia Li had a goodugh over his jokes while allowing him to continue pulling her towards their bedroom.


    "What''s funny? You don''t think that''s possible? I already see myself going through your traps while this pregnancysts." Fu Hua added as he opened the door to their bedroom.


    "Don''t worry too much, I will take it easy on you. Take a quick shower first, I really need to eat these noodles in the next few minutes." Jia Li said as she went to sit on the bed and crossed her legs.


    Fu Hua gazed at her with a nk look. She needed his help with something, and now, she was giving him a time limit?


    Jia Li understood that gaze and said with a frown, "Don''t look at me like that, the baby may want something else in the next few minutes."


    Fu Hua stared at her wordlessly before making his way to the inner room. As the door got shut, Jia Liughed out loud and rolled on the bed.


    "He looks so cute not knowing what to do with me." Jia Li muttered in a low tone as she smiled to herself.


    It was so fun to tease her husband.


    In less than 10 minutes, Fu Hu was already done taking a quick shower and dressing up. Taking the leather for the chicken noodle soup, he left for the kitchen.


    Fu Hua''s presence in the kitchen was a shock to the servants and the chefs.


    "Sir, do you need anything?"


    "Sir, what do you need us to do for you?"


    "Sir, you shouldn''t be here, let us serve you."


    No matter what the servants said, Fu Hua didn''t pay attention to them. He just went about his business, while they stood at one side to watch him.


    Little tasks like cutting the vegetables and peeling onions were done by Fu Hua. He didn''t request help from anyone, as he wanted to do everything concerning the chicken noodle soup by himself.


    Some minutester, he turned off the gas and untied the apron he wrapped around his body. A servant took the apron from him while another servant brought a neat bowl for him.


    Fu Hua took the ceramic soup bowl from the servant and use thedle to gently scoop the chicken soup and the noodle into the bowl. When he was done, he ced the bowl on the tray the servant had brought for him.

 Chapter 678 His tongue on fire

    <h4>Chapter 678 His tongue on fire</h4>


    Jia Li was delighted when Fu Hua served her the bowl of spicy chicken noodle soup in the bedroom. She pped her hands excitedly and came down from the bed and went straight to sit on the couch.


    When she saw the noodle soup herself, she praised Fu Hua for cooking for her. Next, she picked up the chopsticks and started to eat.


    Fu Hua sat on the bed and watched her eat the noodles as if she hasn''t eaten for days, but he couldn''t help but remind her to slow down.


    "Can you take it easy, the noodles are hot and spicy?"


    Jia Li sniffed and said to him, "The noodles are not spicy the way I wanted them. Next time, we will cook it together. As for the hotness, it doesn''t bother me because I want to sweat it out."


    "Are youining right now?" Fu Hua inquired with furrowed brows. He had given it his all in other to prepare the spicy chicken noodle soup she wanted, and here she was,ining about it not being spicy enough.


    Wouldn''t it be better if she had told him the quantity of hot pepper to add to it?


    Jia Li slopped on the noodles, chewed, and swallowed them before replying, "How dare Iin when the noodles are this delicious? Thank you."


    Fu Hua didn''t disturb her anymore. He didn''t want her to talk anymore since she was eating something hot. It would be unsightly if the food entered the wrong ce, or she choked on it.


    Jia Li finished the big bowl of spicy chicken noodle soup and put down her chopsticks, and it was only now that she remembered to ask her husband if he had wanted some of the noodles.


    "This woman, can you give your husband a break for today?" Fu Hua said and walked away.


    ''Is he angry with me?'' Jia Li thought to herself while drinking a ss of water. If he was angry with her, she couldn''t tell what she had done to offend him.


    Jia Li thought Fu Hua had left angrily, but she only found out that he went to draw a bath for her after he came out to tell her about it.


    "I have drawn a bath for you, go in. Your clothes are on the couch, and don''t forget to put on the flip-flops I put in front of the bathroom door."


    After saying that to her, he picked up the things she had used to eat and turned to walk away, but he was stopped by Jia Li''s random request for a kiss.


    "Why do you want me to kiss you?" Fu Hua asked with an interesting gaze after recovering from the surprise.


    Jia Li looked him in the eye and replied, "To prove that you are not angry with me." She was done teasing him, and it''s not like she was a troublesome woman.


    Sometimes, she liked to tease him, but she would never take it to the extreme. Right now, she needed to confirm that he was not fed up with her.


    "Do I look angry?" Fu Hua asked with a confused gaze as he didn''t know how she came up with that conclusion.


    "No long talks, just prove that you are not angry with me." Jia Li said with pouted lips.


    Fu Hua smiled to himself and went back to her side. He ced the tray back on the table and sat next to her before pulling her close to his side.


    With one hand wrapped around her arm, he used the other to steady her face. Just a second nce was enough for the mood to change.


    Fu Hua could perceive her scent, she smelled like spicy chicken noodle soup. ''Would she also taste like that?'' He thought as he leaned in to nibble on her lips.


    He licked them, nibbled on them, and teased her before his tongue finally made an entrance. When the long-awaited kiss came, Jia Li didn''t hold back, as she has missed his taste in her mouth. She wrapped her arms around his waist, and pulled him closer, as their tongues danced to the same tone.


    Fu Hua''s method of kissing, was slow, as he was taking his time to go through every nook and cranny of her mouth, but Jia Li''s response was quick, showing her hunger for the kiss.


    Seeing her hunger, Fu Hua increased his pace. He kissed her senselessly while exploring her mouth, And as his hands moved from the side of her face to her neck, he heard her moan.


    ''It''s time to end the kiss.'' He thought as he moved his lips to her neck and left a kiss there before letting her go.


    There was an unsatisfied stare from Jia Li after losing the hot connection. She was insatiable at this moment and stared hungrily at him.


    A small smile appeared on Fu Hua''s face as he said to her, "Your taste like the chicken noodle soup I prepared for you. You said it was not hot enough, but I feel that my tongue is on fire right now."


    Fu Hua was only exaggerating. While kissing Jia Li, he felt the hotness of her tongue due to the spicy soup, but it was not enough for it to burn him.


    Jia Li knew he was teasing her, but she was not in the mood to be teased. She wanted something more, and so requested it.


    Tugging on his shirt with pouted lips, she made her heart''s desire known. "I want more."


    "You want more?" Fu Hua asked as his lips arched in a smile. Jia Li nodded in response and continued tugging on his sleeves.


    His wife''s gaze honestly spoke volumes, but he couldn''t grant her wish as he had his reasons.


    "You asked for a kiss, and I gave you one, but now you want more. I''m not against it, but this is bad timing. In a few minutes, we will be called for dinner, so we can''t do it."


    Fu Hua understood what her wanting more would mean, small soft kisses would develop into quick hot ones, and from there, the rest would be history.

 Chapter 679 She wanted more, and she got it

    <h4>Chapter 679 She wanted more, and she got it</h4>


    Jia Li refused. Instead of epting the reasonable deductions he made, She tried to convince him.


    "We will be fast." She said as she moved closer to him and wrapped her hands around his neck.


    Fu Hua couldn''t help chuckling, "You are not usually like this, what is wrong with you today? Do you miss me that much, or are your hormones acting up?"


    "All of the above. Stop talking, you will kill the mood." Jia Liined with a frown. She needed him urgently, she wanted him to love her in bed.


    Fu Hua wrapped his hands around her waist and said, "Wouldn''t it be good if we kill the mood now, instead of getting cut off in the middle of it?"


    "No!" Jia Li replied and covered his mouth with her lips. Her kiss was quick and fierce.


    As she kissed him, she rubbed her body against him, and pushed his back to the couch, so that she was nowying on top of him.


    Fu Hua broke the kiss immediately and said, "At least, let me send the bowl to the kitchen, or call the servants to take them out. Also, we need to lock the door."


    "Leave it," She said and covered his lips once more.


    Fu Hua let hery on top of him as they exchanged kisses. Before, Jia Li was doing the work, but Fu Hua couldn''t let her anymore because he was watching the time.


    He didn''t want anyone to disrupt them at the peak of their burning desires, that would be heart-wrenching, so he took over.


    "Tell me how you want to be touched." Fu Hua whispered breathlessly as he kissed the area around the side of her neck.


    Breathing heavily, Jia Li replied, "Don''t make it slow, I want more..."


    "We don''t have time for you to want more," Fu Hua replied as he put his hand on her shirt to unbutton them.


    When her bountiful bosom appeared in sight, he leaned in to kiss the top of it.


    After Jia Li tried to take off their clothes entirely from their body and was turned down, Fu Hua had tofort her.


    He said there was no time to take off all their clothes, but he would still make her feel very good, and he did keep to his promise.


    Currently, Jia Li couldn''t stop moaning loudly. Luckily their bedroom was soundproofed, so she was free to scream her pleasures out.


    Five minutester, Jia Li and Fu Hua were panting while lying in each other''s arms.


    As he rubbed her hair, he asked, "Are you satisfied now?"


    "A little bit." Jia Li replied with a smile. Fu Hua couldn''t stop himself from chuckling hard. "You are bing naughty," He said and kissed her forehead.


    Jia Li just smiled with her head resting on his chest. She just had relief, so she was very happy.


    "I haven''t seen Jasmine in the past few hours, does she miss her parents at all?" Jia Li said and raised her head to catch his reaction.


    "I haven''t seen that little girl since morning. We will see her at the dining hall, and then I would ask her if she missed us or not." Fu Hua replied with a smile.


    After chatting for a bit, Fu Hua allowed Jia Li to go and clean up first. He didn''t want to release her immediately when they finished even though they were in a hurry because he wanted that look of pleasure to disappear from her face first.


    He was a man, and he had better control of his emotions. No matter how long he spends in bed with Jia Li, once he steps out of their bedroom, nobody will suspect a thing, but Jia Li was different and innocent. One look at her and everything will be assembled.


    After cleaning up anding back to the bedroom, A knock sounded on the door and Fu Hua went straight to open the door.


    Jia Li thought they were being called for dinner and was about to get off the bed when she heard the tiny voice call out, "Daddy!"


    It turned out that their little girl was there. It seemed she has missed them and decided toe to find them on her own.


    "My princess!" Fu Hua called out to the little girl. The sweet little girl was looking so cute and he couldn''t resist her. He had to squat so he could be of the same height as her, and then, he kissed her cheeks before lifting her in his arms.


    The little girl hugged his neck and giggled.


    "Princess, did you miss Daddy?" Fu Hua asked as he carried her into the room and shut the door behind them.


    "Yes, I missed Daddy and Mummy!" The little girl replied as a smile spread across her small face. The excitement from her father''s response was strong.


    Jia Li got off the bed with a smile and said as she approached them, "My baby missed me?"


    Jasmine heard her mother''s voice and turned in her direction and called out to her excitedly. From her father''s arms, she went over to her mother''s arms.


    When Jia Li asked her what she has been doing, the little girl said she did homework, yed with Paco, took a nap, and ate some fruits.


    Fu Hua asked if she was hungry and she nodded. "Then let''s go out to have dinner." He said and took her from Jia Li''s arms.


    The trio was thest to appear in the dining area. And when they saw the sumptuous meal on the table, they were surprised.


    "Are we having a party?" Fu Hua asked as he put the little girl down on her toddler chair, before sitting next to her.


    "Brother, that''s the same question I asked when I came over," FangSu replied. She was truly stunned to see the variety of dishes on the table. It''s not like they do not have a sumptuous meal every day, but today''s own seemed different as if they were celebrating something.


    Jia Li seemed to have an idea when she met Fu Hee''s gentle gaze.

 Chapter 680 An effort for her surgery

    <h4>Chapter 680 An effort for her surgery</h4>


    "Jia Li, help yourself with any dish of your choice, everything here is healthy, and I specially made this soup for you, it will help to nourish the fetus." Fu Hee said with her gaze on Jia Li, as she pointed to a big bowl of soup she had prepared.


    Fu Hee said it was a healthy soup, but most of what Jia Li could see in the bowl were different types of meat, and that made her wonder if she came to drink soup, or eat meat.


    Fu Hee''s words sounded strange to some of the family members. It was too fast for them to pick. It was Fu ChuHua that grabbed the message fast and blurted out with a surprised gaze directed at Jia Li, "You are pregnant?"


    "Wow!" FangSu eximed in shock.


    It wasn''t long before Meixu led the congrattory messages directed to Jia Li before the others joined.


    Grandfather Fu looked excited and couldn''t help ordering a bottle of expensive aged wine to celebrate the good news.


    Jasmine saw how happy everyone was and asked, "Mummy, what is pregnant?" She clearly heard her grandmother and Aunt-grandmother say those words to her mother.


    The curious clueless girl just wanted to know the meaning, and so asked about it.


    Her question and her choice of words were found funny by the members of the family. Jia Li didn''t know how to exin to the little girl and didn''t want to fail in front of the families, given that the little girl''s reaction would be, sons he said to her...


    "Jasmine, let''s talk about itter. Look, grandmother prepared so many delicious meals for us, and you have to help mummy to finish some of them"


    Jia Li sessfully diverted Jasmine''s attention with food, and the little girl did not ask that question again.


    FangSu was still ogling the table of dishes presented at the table. She couldn''t bear the jealousy that crept into her heart.


    "Mum, when I got engaged, you didn''t do anything for me. It looks like you only love my sister-inw." FangSu grumbled.


    "What are you making noise for? Just get pregnant like Jia Li, and Aunty will prepare a nurturing soup for you." Meixu said to her.


    FangSu nodded and said, "It looks like I have to consider this."


    Fu Lei who has been eating quietly red at his daughter and cautioned her immediately, "If you dare to get pregnant before marriage, I will chase you out of this family."


    FangSu cried because of the violence. She thought that her father was too serious with everything, including jokes. ''Was there a moment heughed?'' She thought to herself.


    Even the old man of their familyughs at jokes and is not too serious like her father. FangSu found her father boring.


    The entire Fu Family ate to their satisfaction while in a good mood. Fu Hee had forbidden everyone from throwing questions at Jia Li concerning her pregnancy.


    Fu Hee did this because she didn''t want any pressure on Jia Li during her pregnancy, after learning how much she suffered silently with having another child.


    After dinner, Jasmine didn''t remember the question she had thrown at her mother earlier, and neither her father nor mother brought it up, so, it was slowly forgotten.


    While Fu Ling could sleep soundly this night, someone couldn''t sleep because she was watching over her mother.


    Xin''s mother has been hospitalized for 2 days now because of a terrible ulcer that she had. Her hospitalization showed that her case was serious.


    After getting into the hospital through an emergency call and a test was carried out on her, it was discovered that her ulcer had gotten so bad that she needed surgery.


    Her Peptic ulcer caused serious pain and bleeding, and so, surgery was required.


    As Xin couldn''t afford the surgery, The doctors gave her a list of drugs to get for her mother, that could help to soothe her pains a little.


    It was those drugs she went to the pharmacy to get when Fu Ling saw her.


    Right now, her mother was in serious pain but was trying not to show it, but Xin could see it in her eyes. Not wanting to put her in a difficult situation by asking about it, Xin turned her head away with teary eyes.


    She was pained that her mother was suffering and she couldn''t do anything about it.


    After a few seconds of crying and getting back on track with her emotions, she wiped her tears away before going to the desk to pick up the antibiotics and antacid.


    "Mum, I''m preparing your pills for you. I know that the pain is unbearable and you don''t need to hide it from me." Xin said in a calm demeanor while pouring a ss of water for her mother.


    Xin''s mother tried to force a smile, but her smile was ugly, and she could sense it, so she didn''t bother to stress herself anymore.


    When her drugs were ready, Xin helped her mother to adjust the pillow before passing the pills to her alongside a ss of water.


    After taking the pills, Xin fed her two spoonfuls of Antacid before adjusting her pillow again, so she couldy back down.


    "Thank you!" Xin''s mother said to her, but Xin smiled over it. "Mum, there is no need to thank me, we are family."


    After resting for a while, the pain subsided a little. The pain medication and antibiotics were not working anymore and Xin''s mum couldn''t tell her about it, so she wouldn''t have to worry about her.


    "Mum, I will speak with the doctor concerning your surgery tomorrow morning," Xin said with glistened eyes. No matter what, she must make an effort for her mother''s surgery to be scheduled.


    Her mother sighed and said to her, "Xin, how can my surgery be scheduled when there is no money. Forget it, I will manage with the pain killers."


    Xin felt so sorry for her mother and her being the only family member she had, was the only reason she has to take care of her by all means.


    Pains if not taken care of, can kill.

 Chapter 681 The handsome customer is here again

    <h4>Chapter 681 The handsome customer is here again</h4>


    No matter what Xin''s mother said to her, she remained adamant about speaking to the doctor.


    The next morning, Xin went to the office of the doctor in charge of her mother to speak with him concerning her surgery.


    Twenty minutester, Xin walked out of the doctor''s office looking downcast. The doctor had just told her that her mother''s injury was so serious that she needed surgery as soon as possible.


    What hurt Xin most, was the next sentence the doctor made. He said that her mother''s pain was too severe to bear any longer, and her system was already immune to the pain relief drugs.


    Xin came to understand that the possibility of her mother being in pain after taking those drugsst night, was very high. It was also possible that there was little or no effect after she took the drugs.


    Xin was almost in tears again because of her mother''s situation. She didn''t have the money for the surgery, which was very expensive for her to best the cost, so she spoke with the doctor about it.


    She asked if she could pay in a 20% deposit as that was all she could afford for the surgery, but it was rejected. The Doctor said that at least she had to make a 50% deposit of the money.


    Their hospital has a rule, of 60% but the doctor pitied her and asked her to pay 50%.


    What could poor Xin do? She had no choice but to think of ways to get money to make up the one she had in her bank ount.


    Before leaving the hospital, she first went back to see her mother. She told her that her surgery will be scheduled soon, but she had to go to work to take some days off.


    Her mother smiled and asked her to take things easy before she left.


    Outside the hospital, tears dropped from her eyes. The more she tried to get rid of them, the more it came falling down her cheeks.


    The tears in her eyes, caused her sight to be blurry, and she almost couldn''t see where she was going.


    With tears in her eyes, she made her way to the bus station. Now, she couldn''t afford to lose money by taking a cab which was far more expensive than the public bus.


    Taking the bus, Xin went straight to her workce. She came to work for a day, and also to see if she can get an advance payment for a few more months, and also take some days off for her mother''s surgery date and to care for her after that.


    Xin''s colleagues were surprised to see her that day because she still had two more days off from work. After Xin exined her situation to them, they felt pity for her and asked if they could chip in small something to help.


    Xinughed with tears in her eyes and epted it. "I have be so pathetic to take money from all of you, but I promise to pay back."


    "There is no need to pay back, this is the help we can afford to give you in a time like this. We don''t want you to owe us." One of her colleagues said.


    Xin was a sweet youngdy and her colleagues loved her and were willing to help her.


    After thanking them, she went to see their restaurant''s manager immediately as suggested since he was around.


    A few minutester, Xin came out of his office and went straight to her locker to change into her uniform with disappointment in her eyes.


    When she came out to the front desk and her colleagues asked her what the manager said, she told everything to them.


    The manager told her that she could not get an advanced sry of more than 2 months because of how long she has worked for them.


    Her colleaguesforted her saying that she would get through that phase soon and help would definitelye.


    Counting all the money she managed to gather today, She sighed and went back to work with the thought of borrowing money.


    She had a total of 33% for the surgery money now. She still needed 17% more for the surgery to take ce, and 50% to conclude the hospital debts before her mother would be discharged.


    While working, her thoughts were filled with money for her mother''s surgery and how she could get the remaining bnce.


    There was only one person that came to her mind, and who was capable of loaning her some money, and that was her former Boss, Fu Ling. Given the rtionship between them, Xin would never think about asking him for help, but what choice did she have when her mother''s life was on the line?


    Coincidentally, Xin who was thinking of going to see Fu Ling at hispany the next day, saw him walk into their restaurant.


    She was shocked to see him. If it was before, she would have hidden away, but she couldn''t.


    "The handsome customer is here again!" One of her female co-workers said with an excited gaze directed at Fu Ling.


    Xin''s interest was immediately pricked. She had to ask her colleague, "Has he been here before?"


    After confirming from her colleague, Xin went back to her sober mood, not until a male colleague came up to the desk to say to her...


    "Xin, that man came to ask about you thest time he was here, do you know him?"


    "What? He asked about me, are you sure?" Xin asked in surprise as she nced over at where Fu Ling was sitting before ncing back to her male colleague.


    The male waiter nced at Fu Ling before turning his gaze back to Xin. "Yes, I''m sure. He asked if you worked here and I confirmed it."


    Xin was quiet for a while as has thought about what reason her former boss had to look for her.


    "Since he looked for you the other day, maybe you should go to his table to ask for his order, so he can see you." The male waiter suggested.

 Chapter 682 First-trimester pregnancy symptoms off the chart

    <h4>Chapter 682 First-trimester pregnancy symptoms off the chart</h4>


    Jia Li''s pregnancy has once again brought a thing of joy to the Fu family. Even Fu Hua couldn''t hide his happiness. Since today, Fu Hua has asked Jia Li if she wanted to eat anything special or take a break.


    "If I demand that you cook for me, you willin. Don''t ask me what I want to eat." Jia Li replied as she moved her gaze to a book in her hands.


    She was currently reading a book about pregnancy, which was the same book she read when she was pregnant with Jasmine.


    Fu Hua shifted close to her and said, "If you want me to cook for you, I will, as long as it''s something I can prepare. But I know you are a good wife, and wouldn''t want to overwork your husband."


    Jia Li smiled and nced at him. "Are you trying to use my emotions because you know I wouldn''t dare to overwork you?"


    Fu Hua leaned in as they could feel each other''s breath. "It''s because I know you love me so much that I have this much confidence."


    Jia Li couldn''t help chuckling softly as she reached out to pinch his nose, while Fu Fu on the other hand used that opportunity to steal a kiss.


    After he leaned away, Jia Li rxed her back on the pillow and went back to reading her book. "I''m not craving anything yet. I''m surprised that this pregnancy is very different."


    "How so?" Fu Hua asked curiously. He always thought that all pregnancies were the same, but now that Jia Li said it was different, he was very curious about it.


    Jia Li folded the page she was reading and kept the book on the nightstand before replying to him, "If I didn''t see my period and didn''t use the pregnancy test kits, I wouldn''t have known that I am pregnant."


    Fu Hua gazed at her with keen interest as she continued, "I don''t have cravings, No morning sickness, and I don''t feel pregnant. It feels like I''m normal except that I haven''t seen my period."


    "Do you like the way you feel now?" Fu Hua asked.


    Jia Li replied with a smile, "Yes, it''s less troublesome for me, and I feel free. It''s very frustrating to be ufortable. And the worst part is that there is no solution to it, you just have to live it until that phase passes by."


    "You don''t feel troubled at all that something might be wrong since you don''t have the pregnancy symptoms?" Fu Hua asked with a confused gaze.


    He felt that if a woman is pregnant and doesn''t feel the signs, she should be worried, but it turns out that his wife thought otherwise. She was in fact relieved.


    "I can''t be worried since it''s normal. I hope I can miss the symptoms of the first stage because I can''t deal with coupled with the next project I''m working on. I''m worried that I may take out my frustration on someone else." Jia Li said with a pout.


    The workload for her these days was something else, and for 2 more months, it will continue that way. If you add the symptoms of pregnancy in the first semester, there would be no possibility of staying sane.


    Fu Hua seemed to understand her situation. He took her hands and gently squeezed her palms.


    "You women sure go through a lot in this life. I will be by your side to share the burden of pregnancy with you."


    Jia Li met his gaze and smiled. She ended up hitting him tightly, but she regretted it the next minute.


    Her boobs hurt after they collided with Fu Hua''s hard chest.


    Squeezing her face in pain, she backed away. Fu Hua, who was about to make a joke with her, drowned and asked worriedly, "What is wrong?"


    Jia Li did not reply to him, instead, her hands went I her boobs to rub them. "I think this is one sign of pregnancy in the early stage."


    "Is this time to joke?" Jia Li asked as she looked up with a deep frown.


    Fu Hua nced at her boobs before moving his gaze back to her face to say, "It''s not like you would let me touch them, what do want me to do?"


    What Fu Hua is trying to say is that if he volunteered to massage them, she would not agree to it.


    "Why would I let you touch them?" Jia Li said in a heavy tone as she let go of her boobs to give him a hard stare.


    "Because there''s nothing wrong if I touch them, and besides, I am only trying to help ease your pain." Fu Hua replied as he touched her jaw, but he quickly took his hand back just as she attempted to hit him.


    Jia Li picked up her book and went back to reading while issuing out an order, "I want a fruit sd, don''t make it too sweet."


    ''Is this a revenge n?'' Fu Hua thought to himself as he got off the bed.


    ''Since you are so free, it wouldn''t be bad to send you on errands.'' Jia Li thought as she smiled to herself.


    She was beginning to regret pitying him.


    All Fu Hua had to do was order the kitchen to make the fruit sd to Jia Li''s taste. He also didn''t forget to tell them the fruits she liked best, so they could use them to make the fruit sd.


    A few minutester, Fu Hua served the fruit sd to Jia Li, and she happily ate them all.


    Jia Li sending him to get the fruit sd didn''t mean that she wanted to eat them, but because she wanted to send him away for a moment.


    After the servant came to take the bowl away, Jia Li''s rm rang from her phone. It was a reminder to drink water.


    Fu Hua smiled to himself when he heard her sigh after turning off her rm. He also checked his wristwatch to confirm his suspicion.


    "Time to drink water..." He said with a big smile.

 Chapter 683 An emergency call from the hospital

    <h4>Chapter 683 An emergency call from the hospital</h4>


    At this moment, Fu Hua was happy, but that was a different case with Jia Li who looked grumpy all of a sudden.


    "I know!" She said in an annoyed tone and went back to reading her books.


    Fu Hua fixed his gaze on her and asked, "If you know, why are you not drinking the water?"


    "I just finished eating a bowl of fruit sd, do you know how many liters of water it contains?" Jia Li asked.


    She was right, as the fruits she had eaten, had a high percentage of water, so she was not thirsty.


    This was not a good time to take revenge, so Fu Hua let her be, but he didn''t forget to remind her in a kind manner, "If you don''t drink the required quantity of water now, you will have to make it double in the next hour."


    "I know, I just have to y with my system." Jia Li replied with her eyes on her book. By ying with her body system, Fu Hua understood an hourter.


    Jia Li took some dry fruits, cookies, and biscuits to stimte her thirst. Because of the high percentage of water in the fruits she took, she didn''t feel thirsty even after an hourter and her stomach felt heavy. And in other to feel thirsty, she had to take dry foods if not, she wouldn''t be able to meet up with the quantity of water to take daily.


    Fu Hua apuded her for her smartness, before going to the study to work.


    At the restaurant, Xin went to Fu Ling''s table after gathering enough confidence.


    When she got to his table, she greeted him politely before requesting his order. Fu Ling found her voice and scent familiar and had to put his phone away from his sight for a moment just to catch her looks.


    Seeing that his intuition was right, Fu Ling was surprised and that was seen for a fleeting second, which Xin managed to catch. After working for him for a few years she could interpret his mood and tell his emotions, but it was not enough to tell what he was thinking.


    Masking his emotions, Fu Ling ced his order and went back to pressing his phone, which made Xin confused. She thought he had asked about her thest time he was there because he wanted to see her, but it looks like she is mistaken, since he didn''t say anything to her apart from cing her order.


    Xin was a bit disappointed with his actions. She was expecting to hear what he had to say to her, sobs he could use that opportunity to test his mood, to see if she could speak to him about lending her some money to make up the one she had as she needed 50% for her mother''s surgery.


    His mood would determine how she would approach him because he was her only hope, and she couldn''t give up asking him for the money no matter what.


    Coming back to reality with her thoughts, Xin hurried to the kitchen to ce Fu Ling''s order. Down minutester, she went to serve the food with another female waiter.


    The entire time they were serving the food, Fu Ling didn''t raise his head, as he was busy trying with his phone. The only time he raised his head, was when he replied topliments from the other female waited made.


    "Sir, I like your shoes." The female waiter said with a bright smile.


    "Thanks." Fu Ling replied and went back to typing with his phone.


    Xin was pained with him ignoring her. But she still had tofort herself as she left with the tray.


    Going back to her workstation, Xin fixed her gaze on Fu Ling. It was as if she was now monitoring him. The only time she took her eyes off him, was when she went to get someone''s order.


    While keeping an eye on him, she was thinking of ways to approach him. She couldn''t me him for his attitude towards her, because she also ignored him.


    When she went to take his order, she had greeted him professionally and asked for his order directly, pretending not to know him, so he must have felt that she didn''t want to have anything to do with him, and that was why she acted that way, so he ignored her as well.


    Xin cursed herself in her head with regret at her actions.


    ''Idiot, you should have greeted him warmly or asked how he was doing! He was your ex-boss!'' Xin thought to herself as she pulled on her way.


    "Xin, is everything okay?" A male co-worker asked with a curious gaze.


    Xin faked a smile and shook her head in a negative affirmation. Just when she nced over at Fu Ling''s table and didn''t see him, and began to panic, a female co-worker rushed over with a panicked gaze directed at her.


    The co-worker said to her in an urgent tone, "Xin, there is an important call you need to take from the hospital!"


    Immediately Xin heard that the call was from the hospital, her mind went to her sick mother, and she immediately ran inside."


    The workers were not allowed to make use of their phones while working, hence Xin could only be reached through her workcendline since her phone was switched off.


    Xin''s face didn''t look good after the call and when her co-workers asked about it, she revealed the problem to them. It turned out that her mother fainted and was rushed to the ER. She was asked toe over to pay the 50% bill in other for the operation tomence.


    Her co-workers pitied her and wanted tofort her, but there was no time as Xin had already rushed to their locker room to change out of her work uniform.


    Her eyes were teary as she picked up her bag, and when she was about to enter the manager''s office to take the remaining hours off due to the emergency, a co-worker approached and told her that he would take care of it.


    The most important thing was for her to get to the hospital as quickly as possible.

 Chapter 684 Fu Ling renders a great help

    <h4>Chapter 684 Fu Ling renders a great help</h4>


    By the time Fu Ling had finished eating, Xin was already close to the hospital.


    Fu Ling had thought Xin woulde to clear the tes since she served him, but that didn''t happen. Thinking that nothing was wrong, he went to the desk to pay his bill.


    After paying his bills and still didn''t see Xin, he was forced to make a move. He asked one of the female writers about Xin.


    "Xin just left her now, she had an emergency." The waited replied anxiously.


    "If you don''t mind me asking, what kind of an emergency is that?." Fu Ling inquired with a slight frown.


    Thest time he came and asked about her, he was told the same thing, and now he was wondering if she was in any sort of trouble.


    The waiter didn''t hide Xin''s trouble. She immediately spilled everything out. While speaking, Fu Ling''s facial expression changed. He was now worried for Xin.


    "Which hospital did she go to?" Fu Ling asked.


    The waiter didn''t think that anything was wrong and immediately told him. Before rushing out, Fu Ling tipped her. He didn''t even bother to wait to hear her thanks before leaving.


    ''Why did she have to quit working for me when she knew her financial situation best?'' Fu Ling thought to himself as he ignited his engine and drove away.


    Right now, he was thinking that Xin made the worst decision in her life by quitting her job because she had feelings for him. He thought that it wouldn''t have hurt if she hid her feelings and continued to work for him.


    Fu Ling gave up on ming her and focused on trying to reach her. He still had her contact number on his phone, and so he dialed it, but no one answers the phone after several rings.


    "Where did she leave her phone?!" Fu Ling thought angrily. He was trying to reach her, so he could help her as soon as possible, but she wasn''t answering at this moment.


    The reason Xin could not answer the call was that she just arrived at the hospital and had to rush into the theater to see her mother.


    The operation has not yet started because they were waiting for her, and he''d part payment.


    Seeing her mother lying on the bed with different tubes connected to her, tears dropped down her eyes. Taking quick steps to her mother''s side, Xin took her hand and squeezed them gently.


    "Mum, please hang on, I will do something about your condition. I''m sorry that I''m useless when you need me the most. I promise to double my efforts if you hang on for a little." Xin cried.


    Her mother was her only family, and if anything were to happen to her, she didn''t think that she could continue living.


    She was beginning to me herself for not having any friends who could help her out in this situation. She med herself for not having a good job, and for quitting the good job she had before.


    She med herself for not having enough savings. If sis did, she would have at least been able to pay the 50% money required for her mother''s surgery.


    Fu Ling was almost close to the hospital. It was not a surprise since he was speeding. Since he was not able to reach Xin on phone, he had no choice but to speed up.


    Not long after, he got to the hospital and hurried inside. At the reception desk, he asked for Xin and mentioned her surname since he didn''t know her mother''s name.


    Being a member of the Fu family, Fu Ling was recognized, and he was immediately attended to.


    When the doctor in charge of Xin''s mother was brought, Fu Ling had a short conversation with him.


    Fu Ling asked him to go ahead with the surgery, as he would foot the bill right there, and right in his presence, Fu Ling cleared the bill Xin was owing.


    Seeing Fu Ling''s enthusiasm, the doctor immediately made a call for the surgery tomence immediately.


    Since this was an emergency surgery, the doctors and nurses required for the surgery, all came rushing out of their offices and towards the theater.


    Xin was still crying when the doctor in. charge of her mother walked in with the rest. She was surprised to see them dressed and ready to perform the surgery.


    "Miss, please can you leave us, we are about to start performing the surgery on your mother. She is having internal bleeding so her life is in danger." The doctor said to her.


    With tears in her eyes, she asked, "Doctor, please save my mother, and thank you so much for helping me when I do not have up to 60% of the amount for the surgery."


    The doctor turned to her saying, "We will do our best to save your mother, and you shouldn''t be thanking me, because someone paid to have your mother''s surgery done immediately."


    Xin was shocked by this miracle, and she couldn''t help but ask about the identity of her helper. She wasn''t expecting anybody to help her, worth moreing down to the hospital to clear her bills.


    Because of time, which the doctor made mention of, which was assent to save her mother as too much time has been dyed already, he only told her to meet the person down the hallway.


    Xin was sensitive enough to leave the ER immediately for the surgery to be performed on her mother.


    While thinking about the person that helped her out in her desperate situation, she followed the path down the hallway but didn''t see anybody there.


    She had to start asking questions, but nobody knew to who she was referring. Worrying about missing her helper, and her mother who was being operated on, Xin was frustrated and almost broke down in tears again.


    Well, she did because when Fu Ling who had left to go and buy some things came back, he saw her familiar figure squatting on one side and crying seriously.

 Chapter 685 Xiulan is grateful

    <h4>Chapter 685 Xin is grateful</h4>


    Fu Ling wasn''t too sure anymore because by now, the surgery on her mother should have started so there was no need for her to be crying.


    "Xin?" Fu Ling called out as he came to stand before her with a confused gaze.


    When Xin heard her name being called, her mind was too clouded to recognize the voice. But when she slowly looked up and saw Fu Ling''s face, her buttnded on the floor due to the shock.


    Never would she have expected to see him here.


    "What are you doing on the floor? Are there no sits here?" Fu Ling asked with furrowed brows.


    Heating that voice again, Xin began to suspect that Fu Ling was the one right in front of her, but to be over clear, she cleaned her tears which made her sight blurry, before looking up again.


    It was now that Xin realized that he was the one standing right in front of her. She was truly shocked to see him up close, and it was now that her sense of smell started to work.


    She could now perceive the familiar perfume used by her former Boss on daily basis.


    Seeing that she was too confused to say anything, Fu Ling stretched forth an arm to help her up and she instinctively took his arm and got to her feet.


    Fu Ling only let her go when he was sure that she was steady enough to stand by herself. Gazing at her, he asked, "Why are you out here crying, hasn''t the surgery started yet?"


    Xin nodded, "Yes, it started a few minutes ago." It was only a few secondster that she realized the question he had asked. And it was enough did her to guess that he must be her benefactor.


    "Your mother will be fine, at least the doctor assured me of that, so stop crying and pray for the surgery to be sessful." Fu Ling advised.


    He spoke t the doctor briefly in other to understand her mother''s current state, and the danger she was in.


    The doctor had told him that with an hour more dy, her mother would have almost less percent chance of surviving, but because he came at a good time, the surgery will be a sess.


    "Are you the one that paid for my mother''s surgery?" Xin asked after a moment of silence, just to confirm her doubts.


    Fu Ling asked her to follow him to go sit over in the reception room. He neither epted nor rejected her spection, which boiled down to her confirming that he was her benefactor.


    Instead of saying thanks, Xin went straight to ask other questions.


    "How did you know about my mother''s condition and the fact that I was here?"


    "Where do you think I''ming from?" Fu Ling threw a question back to her. If she couldn''t figure out where shest saw him, then she could forget about getting an answer from him.


    Xin didn''t need to think too much to find out how he knew her location and her mother''s condition.


    When they had taken their seats, she fiddled with her fingers and said with her gaze downwards, "Thank you foring over to help me. My mother would have lost her chance for a second chance at life if you didn''t help me. Thank you so much for your help, and I promise to repay you."


    "We would talk about your debtster, for now, eat something and have the energy to watch over your mother once she is out from the ER." Fu Ling said as he handed over the leather he brought with him.


    After the doctor left, he stepped out to go buy food for Xin from a nearby restaurant. He was sure she hadn''t eaten anything since that day, so he left to buy her something.


    Again, Xin was surprised by Fu Ling''s gesture, because it was unlike him. The treatment he was giving to her was surely very different from how he treated her when she was still working under him.


    Xin dyed in receiving the food from him because of her swinging thoughts. "Mr. Fu, you didn''t have to go extra mile for me, you have already helped me enough."


    Fu Ling forced the food into her hands and said with a frown, "It''s definitely because I do not want to handle any more issues that I went out to buy food for you. What if you faint here, who will take care of your mother? You would be a big burden to everybody so eat up and get the strength to do your job."


    With him being harsh with his words, Xin epted the food and thanked him.


    "I have somewhere to be now, keep your phone beside you and answer when I call. Also, once the surgery is over, call me." Fu Ling said as he got to his feet.


    He had something else to do, and so he could not apany her till her mother was pushed out of the ER.


    Xin was never expecting him to stay and watch with her. I''m fact, it would have been very normal if he had just paid the hospital bills and left immediately, because staying back and buying her a meal, was way out of his league.


    Once again, Xin thanked Fu Ling and wanted to walk him out, but he rejected her gesture, and instead, reminded her to finish her food.


    After Fu Ling disappeared from her sight, Xin sat back on the chair and heaved a deep sigh of relief.


    ncing at the food in her hands, she sighed again, before she unwrapped it from the nylon and began to eat.


    Now, she had one less problem to worry about, and that was the fact that she couldn''t wait for her mother toe out from the ER.


    Xin obeyed Fu Ling''s instruction by finishing her food. Her stomach has been empty since morning, and now that there was nothing else that would worry her greatly, she felt the hunger within her and had to finish her food.

 Chapter 686 VIP Treatment

    <h4>Chapter 686 VIP Treatment</h4>


    Some hourster, the surgery was over, and most importantly, it was sessful. With tears of joy in her eyes, she followed the nurses wheeling her mother into another room.


    In fact, they had to take an elevator to the VIP floor which was a big surprise to Xin.


    "Doctor, are you sure we are going to the right ce?" She asked with fear in her tone.


    "The doctor smiled and nodded. Xin did not speak any more until they got to the VIP floor, and her mother was taken into one of the rooms there.


    Xin would never be able to afford this, so she immediately interrupted the doctor discussing with the nurses as her mother was settled in.


    "Doctor, it looks you are mistaken. I will never be able to afford this room, and I didn''t pay for this ce..."


    The doctor smiled and caught her off. before she could continue describing how poor she was. "Your Boss paid for it, he said we should take good care of your mother in a good environment."


    "My Boss?" Xin said in confusion. ''Was it, Mr. Fu? Did he tell them that he was my Boss?'' She thought to herself.


    "This nurse will be here to care for your mother at any time. You can press this button if there is an emergency when she steps out." The doctor exined.


    Each patient in any of the VIP rooms gets assigned to a nurse that will take care of them till they are discharged.


    Xin was happy with this benefit, but she was a little annoyed within her. Knowing how much the VIP treatment would cost, she wondered why Fu Ling didn''t give her that money to pay back the 50% that remained from the surgery.


    Xin was thinking this without knowing that he hadpleted full payment. Her mother didn''t owe any bills in the hospital as he already paid the entire 100% she owed.


    When the doctor was about to leave, she asked him politely, "Doctor, where is my bill, can I see it to know much I''m owning?"


    The doctor smiled at her and said, "You are not owing any bills in this hospital, your Boss already took care of everything. And since he was the one that paid for everything, we gave the receipt to him."


    Xin watched in amazement as the doctor left with the two nurses.


    She no longer owed the hospital and there was no pressure from them anymore, and now, she had only one person to face, and that was held former Boss, Fu Ling.


    Xin forgot to contact Fu Ling after the surgery, she had so many thoughts going through her head, coupled with her concern for her mother.


    It was not until she saw Fu Ling''s call on her phone that she remembered that he had asked her to call him once the survey was over.


    Xin covered her mouth with her hands in panic. She was afraid of being scolded by her former Boss. Since she once worked for him, that fear of being scolded by him when a task was not done well, was still there.


    Atst, she answered the call, and before he could say anything to her, she hurried and apologized to him and told him the room they were moved to.


    Fu Ling ended the call without saying anything. What could he say to her when her mind was distracted? She was no longer his employee, so he couldn''t scold her.


    Some minutester, he arrived at the hospital and went straight to the VIP floor and got into the room number Xin had told him about.


    Immediately she saw him, she got to her feet and apologized once again.


    Fu Ling walked in with his hands in his pockets and went straight to the bed where her mother wasying with her eyes closed, and breathing with the help of an Oxygen mask.


    "How is your mother now, what did the doctor say?" He asked without any sign of concern on his face.


    Xin narrated everything the doctor had told her, and then remembered what he had also said about their hospital bills and also brought it up.


    "Sir, I heard from the doctor that you cleared all our bills and ced my mother here. You didn''t have to pay for everything, they were going to do the surgery if I had paid them 50%." Xin said with a tensed gaze.


    Fu Ling slowly moved his gaze from her mother to her. "If you are grateful, you only have to thank me and quitining. Right now, you sound ungrateful and unsatisfied."


    Xin fixed her gaze on the floor and refused to look up because she was guilty. Fu Ling was right, if she was grateful, she should have thanked him and shut her mouth instead ofining.


    "Since everything is alright, I will take my leave now. Don''t forget to it ande to take care of your mother when you get off work." Fu Ling advised with his gaze on her.


    He knew that there was a nurse assigned to take care of her mother, so she could go back to work ande to take care of her mother after work each day till she was discharged.


    Xin thanked him for his reminder, which was such a good idea. Now that her mother was no longer in danger, she could go back to work and start earning money because of the heavy debts she had to settle now.


    When Fu Ling was about to leave, Xin asked about the money she owed him and when she can pay for it. She was about to bring up her strategy for paying the bills since it was enormous and she didn''t have that kind of money with her, but he shut her up.


    "When your mother is discharged, we will talk about the mode of payment for your to repay your debts." Fu Ling said before leaving.


    He didn''t think it was appropriate for them to talk about her debts when her mother was still in the hospital, so he stopped her from mentioning it again.

 Chapter 687 FangSu gets naughty a the mall

    <h4>Chapter 687 FangSu gets naughty a the mall</h4>


    Xin sighed as she now had the time to rest and think properly, aside from thinking of her debts thanks to him.


    Today, Fu Hee pulled Jia Li to co shopping with her. Thinking that it was to shop for baby clothes, Jia Li stopped her.


    "Mum, the baby is too early for us to stop for it." She said with a concerned tone.


    "Who said we are going to shop for the baby? We are going to shop for you and Jasmine. You don''t need to wait till you get to a certain stage before shopping for maternity clothes, orfortable clothes to begin your second trimester. Also, Jasmine needs new clothes, and I heard you mention the other day about buying her some clothes for her." Fu Hee said to her.


    There was no need to argue with her mother-inw because already, she has seen that she was set to have her way today, so she had to follow her obediently, with FangSu tagging along like a child.


    "Why do you want to follow us, hope you are not expecting me to pay for your bills today?" Fu Hee asked as she worked ahead while holding unto Jia Li''s arm.


    As FangSu followed after them, she said, "Mum, is it bad to buy something for your child? I am your only daughter and yourst child, you have to continue to pet me."


    "Is that a demand? You have truly be shameless. You have older brothers, and finance now, so go to them if you don''t feel like spending your money As for me, I am only going to be clothes for my grandchild." Fu Hee replied without stopping in her steps.


    "I overheard you saying you would get clothes for your beloved daughter-inw, and I know she is like a daughter to you as well, so why are you being partial in your treatment?" FangSu asked auth a frown.


    She was not jealous about her mother treating Jia Li well, she was only whining like a child and seeking attention.


    "I am buying clothes for my daughter-inw because she is pregnant. The baby is too small for me to get clothes for her, so I have to gift her mother." Fu Hee lied.


    She didn''t feel like spending her money on her daughter, but that doesn''t mean she didn''t n to get her something since she tagged along. She was only joking with her.


    Jia Li had a goodugh while the mother and daughter exchanged words. Their rtionship was so good, and although what they were arguing about didn''t make sense, it was still fun listening to them.


    Finally when they got into the car, and the driver drove away, the mother and daughter stopped arguing.


    On getting to the shopping mall, they first went to the children''s section, and over two hours were spent picking dresses for Jasmine.


    Imagine 3 women that loved Jasmine so much going on shopping for her, I promise that you wouldn''t want to know what happened.


    The clothes, bags, and shoes that were picked for the little girl, could contain 2 travel luggage It was Jia Li that first realized that they had bought enough and spent time selecting the best for her little daughter.


    From the children''s section, the three women made their way to the adult section to shop for clothes for themselves.


    Jia Li only picked 5 outfits for herself because she had enough clothes at home, and only picked these because she was forced to.


    Fu Hee wouldn''t be happy with her if she refused her gesture, or only picked 2 clothes. Actually, Fu Hee heard her pleas and her reasoning for her having enough clothes that will cover her during her pregnancy, but didn''t want to give up on buying her new sets.


    "I get that you already have enough clothes, but I want to spoil you. Even if you don''t want anything, just pick 5 outfits from here." Fu Hee had said to her.


    Not wanting to disregard her mother-inw despite her pleas, Jia Li went on to pick 5 different outfits, and only then did Fu Hee seem happy with her.


    "I wish she would be angry if I don''t want anything from here, but that would be the opposite. She would be so grateful if I didn''t tag along toe to spend her money." FangSu whispered to Jia Li''s ear, as she was afraid that her mother would hear her, which she did.


    Fu Hee heard her and tuned to narrow her nce at her, "Don''t bother picking more than 3 outfits from here. Out of all the female family members, you are the one with the most outfits in the wardrobe, but every time, you keep buying more outfits. Some name brands, gift you, outfits, but that doesn''t seem to be enough for you."


    FangSu twirled and said, "Mum, take a good look at me. I am too slim and so all my clothes are in that size. If I were to put on some weight tomorrow like my sister-inw, won''t I need a whole new wardrobe?"


    Fu Hee and Jia Li gazed at her like she was insane. "And why would you want to put on some weight like your sister-inw, are you nning on quitting your job?"


    "That''s not it. My Sister-inw looks very healthy, and she has the right amount of flesh in the right ces, and no wonder my brother gets too touchy when she is right in front of him. But my case is different. Brother Junjie doesn''t make any move and I can count the number of times we have kissed on both hands."


    Jia Li and Fu Her were shocked because of her statement, and Fu Hee had to cover her mouth before people hear the shameless words she had left to spew.


    Jia Li''s face was almost burning after FangSu said that. Fu Hua indeed liked to get handsy with her, but not when the adults were watching, so she seemed a little shocked that they must have been caught in the act one time.

 Chapter 688 X-rated questions

    <h4>Chapter 688 X-rated questions</h4>


    Right now, the three women were sitting in the private room of a restaurant.


    Fu Hee was still ring at FangSu. "How could you be so brazen to spout nonsense in public? Does it show that you were brought up properly, what if someone overheard you?"


    "Even if they hear me, it''s not a bad thing. Look at my brother, he is so romantic. My sister-inw is fleshy in the right ces so he can''t resist her, but look at me, my case is different. I will..."


    FangSu didn''t get to finish her words before a p on her arm forced her to scream in pain. Her mother had done well by shutting her up.


    "You really need to get a hold of yourself! How can you be speaking his way in public?" Fu He''s reprimanded while Jia Li watched from the side.


    Wincing in pain, FangSu replied, "Mum, why are you hitting me, am I still a child? where is the public here, it''s just the three of us? I am airing my mind out because I feel suffocated, or am I not allowed to?"


    Fu Hee couldn''t believe her ears. Even after hitting her, she still didn''t know that she was wrong.


    "How can youpare your brother''s rtionship with yours? Your brother is married to Jia Li, so he is free to show such feelings to her anywhere. But you are not married, do you expect Zhang Junjie to be so brazen with you?" Fu Hee scolded, then she nced at Jia Li before turning her gaze back to her.


    "Before your brother and Jia Li got married, did they get involved in that kind of romance? Was it not after they got married that they started acting that way? You need to shut your mouth before I help you with it." She warned in a serious tone.


    Fu Hee was still fuming mad because of her daughter, and she couldn''t see herself calming down any time soon.


    Jia Li nced between the mother and daughter before choosing who tofort.


    "Mum, don''t be too angry, FangSu was just saying whatever she thought without minding our environment, please don''t take it to heart."


    Fu Hee heaved a sigh before picking up her phone to nce at the time, then she turned to say to her, "I have to meet up With my friends, you two can eat and go home without me, I will call another driver toe to pick you up before you finish eating."


    Jia Li smiled and waved at her, while FangSu turned her face away and said in a low tone, "Looks like I have to get married soon in other to experience my sister-inw''s kind of romance."


    Fu Hee heard what she said clearly, and FangSu had said it to her hearing in other to provoke her again.


    There was no time to go about hitting her, and besides, Jia Li had already blocked her off before she could raise her arm.


    "Mum, please extend our greetings to your friends." Jia Li said and walked her to the door.


    Fu Hee smiled at her, "I will, go back and eat till your fill," She said before walking away.


    After the door was shut, FangSu heaved a deep sigh of relief as Jia Li went back to her seat.


    "You know you shouldn''t have angered her like that." Jia Li said to her in a soft tone, with her gaze on her.


    "She is not of the same generation as us, and I forgot that her thinking is a bit off. There is absolutely nothing wrong to talk about what I feel, and what I want." FangSu replied.


    Jia Li sighed and drummed her fingers on the table, "You just said that we are worlds apart, so you shouldn''t speak that way when she is here with us."


    FangSu Giant bother to argue because she was right. She and her mother have a different mentality and ways of doing things, so she had to be careful of the way she spoke in her presence.


    After cing an order for their food, FangSu leaned in to ask with a slight smile on her face, "Sister-inw, I have some important questions to ask, and since you are like an elder sister to me, I feel morefortable chatting with you about it, than any other person, and besides, you are equally experienced in that field."


    Jia Li must have guessed the direction of the questions FangSu wanted to ask was going to because she would have choked on any drink if she were to be taken one at that time of this question.


    Jia Li''s face turned a bit red as she asked her to go on with her questions.


    The smile on FangSu''s face spread even more, and she became more rxed to asking her question.


    "Sister-inw, what do you think makes a woman attracted to a man, and makes the man want to touch her?"


    If only Jia Li was a vegetable, her face would have been no different from a beetroot. Her face was red now, which showed the level of embarrassment she got because of that question.


    Trying to mask her embarrassment, she cleared her throat and said, "This question is a bit off. I am not a man, so I can''t tell."


    FangSu refused to ept that response. She whined like a child and took her hand saying, "Sister-inw, even if you can''t answer that question, at least you should know the reason my brother gets all touchy with you and wants to sleep with you, right?"


    Jia Li didn''t know when she hit FangSu''s hands away and coughed because she choked on her saliva. Her face was all red now.


    FangSu seemed to get that she was ufortable and smiled. "Sister-inw, don''t tell me that you are embarrassed. You have been married to my brother for a few years now, you have a 4 years plus old daughter, and you are even pregnant again. Surely, you have the experience to teach this clueless sister-inw of yours, right?"

 Chapter 689 Jia Li’s response

    <h4>Chapter 689 Jia Li''s response</h4>


    ''Did I make a mistake by letting her ask me these questions?'' Jia Li thought to herself as she used a handkerchief to cover her mouth.


    It took Jia Li some courage before she could answer her question, plus, FangSu had to give her a puppy eye and even added an emotional sentence.


    "Sister-inw, I may not look like it, but I haven''t gone that far with any of my boyfriends before. It''s mostly kissing that I have done."


    What FangSu was saying in essence, is the fact that she was still a virgin, and didn''t have that kind of deep connection with any man before.


    This is probably the reason Jia Li decided to answer her, but first, she let the waiters serve their food and leave before she started speaking.


    Jia Li had to speak to herself in her head, so she would not appear to be embarrassed by talking about matters of the heart, and having that kind of a deep conversation with her.


    "You see, your brother and I love each other, and are also sexually attracted to each other. But in most rtionships, it may not be like that. A man or woman may be sexually attracted to one another without love. So every rtionship and person is different."


    FangSu got her point and moved over to the next question, "I have seen my brother tease you on so many asions, does it mean that he wants to sleep with you during those times?"


    Now, Jia Li was beginning to think that FangSu was not innocent, but was teasing her instead. There was no way she wouldn''t know about all these, Nevertheless, she still went on to reply to her.


    "It''s not necessarily so. Sometimes, he wants to tease me, sometimes, he just wants to feel me, or make mefort him, or even because he wants us to go deeper, it can be either of them. Most men at like that. Your brother is romantic, and it is also a good way to express his feelings for me."


    "I see," FangSu said while nodding her head. "Then, what do you think is the reason Junjie doesn''t make a move on me?"


    Jia Li picked up a ss of water to drink before replying to her, "I think you should ask him that question yourself. He may be respecting you, or waiting till you are married before going further. Whatever the reason is, you will have to find out by yourself."


    "Thank you sister-inw, but I am not done, I need a few pointers," FangSu said with a smile.


    "I think you should meet a rtionship expert for more information that your may need, it''s really awkward talking about these things, and in this kind of ce." Jia Li said as she looked around her surrounding with unease.


    FangSu picked up her chopsticks and replied, "I feel veryfortable conversing with you because I see you as my elder sister. I can''t ask my friends about this, as they will know how my rtionship with Junjie is. I can''t ask my mother because she will find my words offensive. I also can''t ask Meixu about this because we are not that close to have this kind of conversation. I can only trust you, so I came to you."


    "FangSu, I also didn''t know much about rtionships with the opposite gender before I got married to your brother. Nobody thought me anything, and I had to learn all by myself. I was so innocent that I didn''t have a boyfriend, so your brother was, and is my everything." Jia Li said to her.


    With her mouth agape in surprise, FangSu asked with her hands over her mouth, "Are you saying that my brother took all your firsts? Wow! He is such a lucky guy!"


    As she said thest sentence, her back hit her chair, and her surprised face remained fixed on Jia Li who had burst outughing.


    Jia Li found her actions funny, and couldn''t helpughing over them. She couldn''t believe that she tagged her brother lucky simply because he took all her firsts.


    FangSu leaned over and said, "Sister-inw, you were really conservative back then, and I totally get you now. Don''t worry, my brother will take full responsibility for you. I''m sure he realizes that he would be the one to lose if you leave him."


    "Yes, your brother knows my worth. Don''t worry too much about your current rtionship with your finance. If your heart is not at ease, you can talk things out with him, just like you are doing with me." Jia Li advised with a smile.


    FangSu nodded and thanked her. "Thank you, sister-inw, I will do as you''ve said, but I have one more question."


    Since their conversation has reached this point, there was no need to deny her ess, so she let her ask all she wanted.


    "What other question do you have left to ask?"


    FangSu leaned in more closely and asked with a gentle tone, "Given her conservative you were, how did you give in to my brother in bed? I''m sure you were very shy."


    FangSu''s questions brought back memories to Jia Li. She could remember in what circumstances she consummated her marriage it Fu Hua. It was a once-in-a-lifetime situation.


    "This question is hard for me to respond to. There was no time for me to be shy as things happened unexpectedly." Jia Li said with a small smile.


    "Were you two drunk?" FangSu probed.


    "No, it was something more than that. FangSu, I think we have been chatting for far too long that the food has finished cooling. I am so hungry, just like the baby in my womb, so please spare us." Jia Li replied with a small smile before picking up her chopsticks.


    FangSu was smart enough to know that her brother and sister-inw''s wedding night story was different, so she stopped asking about it and began to eat.


    Even while eating, FangSu couldn''t help stealing nces at Jia Li, while wondering how adventurous their wedding night was.

 Chapter 690 Instructions for a thank-you gift

    <h4>Chapter 690 Instructions for a thank-you gift</h4>


    A few dayster after Xin''s mother had regained consciousness, she asked to see her benefactor.


    Xin had juste over from work when her mother brought up the topic again.


    "Mum, I''ve told you that he is busy, and wille on his own time," Xin replied as she sat on the couch in the room.


    "This doesn''t seem right to me, and it makes it look like I am ungrateful. Without his help, I may not be alive today. Xin, ask him toe over as I was t to thank him personally." Xin''s mother insisted.


    She really wanted to meet this person that helped to preserve her life, and give her the best hospital treatment she has ever received in her life.


    She felt bad that for a week now, she hasn''t seen him to say thanks. She also felt that it would be rude to ask him toe over so she can thank him, while in fact, she should be the one to find him, but she had no other option.


    Xin seemed to be exhausted from having this conversation with her mother. "Mum, I told you that my benefactor is my ex-boss and he is always busy. He has lots of meeting to attend, and lots of projects that he is working on, so he can''t be here."


    Her response made her mother remember something. "Xin, can you remind me again of why you quit working for your ex-boss when he is such a good man? You had a good pay there, and you looked so much better back then."


    With Fu Ling''s help, the middle-aged woman has begun to see him in a bigger light. She didn''t see anything wrong with him and wondered why her daughter had to quit her job.


    Xin sighed and refused to talk about it. How could she tell her mother that the sole and only reason she stopped working for her ex-boss was that she was starting to have feelings for him? That doesn''t make sense. And forget the fact that her mother was still weak and couldn''t makerge movements, that woman would be ready to hit her if she said the truth.


    If her mother learns of that, she would ask her why she didn''t hide her feelings and continue to work for him. Who in the world will quit their job because of that? You should have controlled your emotions! If you want a husband, I can set you up on a blind date.


    "Mum, please don''t ask me these questions," Xin replied with a frown.


    "Xin, I can''t force you to talk about your matter, so I will let this slide. You said your ex-boss is too busy toe over here, then you will go to him on my behalf to thank him."


    "What?" Xin reacted with an astonished gaze. Why would she go to meet him when she has thanked him on several asions? It''s not like she wasn''t going to repay her debts, so why would she have to thank him endlessly?


    Xin''s mother tried to hoe herself up, which prompted Xin to run to her side to assist her.


    "I know you have thanked him, but if you understand that I came back from the jaws of death, then you will know that 1 million thanks still won''t be enough. You can''t buy life no matter the amount of money you have, so I am very grateful to him." Her mother said with a kind smile.


    Her speech seemed to strike Xin''s heart. Although she has thanked him a lot, it still wasn''t enough for saving her mother''s life. Her mother was the only rtive and family she had left on earth and if something had happened to her, she didn''t think that she would have survived it.


    So, not just that he saved her mother''s life, but the fact that he also saved her life.


    With that, Xin agreed to listen to her mother.


    "I''m happy that you understand his worth right now. I want you to go home and make some food for him using the special sauce I brought with me. They should be a thank-you lunch." Her mother said with a smile.


    Fu Ling didn''tck money, so he could fend for himself, but Xin''s mother thought that an act of service may be the best way to thank him. He would appreciate their efforts if they did something for him.


    "Okay, mum, I will do that tomorrow morning," Xin replied. She had wanted to counter her mother''s idea, but because she didn''t have a better one, she had to ept it.


    Tomorrow morning would be the best time to book the dishes and send them to his office before going to her workce.


    "You have to go back now and shop for the fresh ingredients. Make sure to add soup to the food list. There should at least be 5 side dishes." Xin''s mother instructed. She looked so happy with nning the thank you gift.


    "Okay," Xin replied, thinking that the instruction was over, but the next one shocked her, such that she was speechless for several seconds.


    "That''s not all, hold on. You have to do this every workday till I am discharged from the hospital. You have to prepare all my restaurant''s special for him. A special meal each day. Then when I am released from the hospital, we will invite him to your ce to have the Grand dinner before I travel back to our hometown."


    Xin''s mother ran a restaurant in their hometown, so they both knew a lot about making delicious dishes.


    Xin was still shocked that she had to shop every evening for fresh ingredients and every morning, she would wake early to prepare the food with them, and then send it to Fu Ling before going on with her daily duties.


    Not just that, she had to prepare her mother''s restaurant special, a new one each day. She has to do this till her mother is discharged from the hospital.


    Xin wished she could faint right now as she watched her mother smile while dishing out the stressful tasks she would have to do.

 Chapter 691 Xiulan delivers the lunch to Fu Ling

    <h4>Chapter 691 Xin delivers the lunch to Fu Ling</h4>


    Xin wished her mother would think about the stress she would have to go undergo during the next few days.


    "Mum, I hope you get discharged soon," Xin said before leaving the room in exhaustion.


    "Don''t forget to marinate the poultry overnight." Her mother reminded as her back disappeared from her view.


    Per her mother''s instructions, Xin went to the supermarket in the evening to shop for the ingredients she would use to prepare lunch for Fu Ling the next day.


    Knowing the kind of wealthy family he came from, Xin fixed the fact at the back of her mind while shopping. She must please his pte.


    Very early in the morning of the next day, a 5 AM rm woke Xin up from sleep. She quickly ran to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face before rushing to the kitchen to prepare the food.


    Two hourster the food was ready. Xin secured all of them in lunch boxes and used three different paper bags to house them before running to the room to have her bath and dress up.


    Taking the three paper bags with her, She left for the hospital first, to drop one off for her mother, and the paper bag belonging to her seemed to be the lightest of them all.


    "Mum, I brought your breakfast," Xin whispered to her sleeping mother before leaving in a hurry. Her mother was still sleeping by the time she partied at the hospital, and she was working on meeting Fu Ling before 8:10 AM.


    By that time, he was usually starting to settle deep into work. And being his former assistant, she knew better than to not interrupt him by that time.


    Taking the subway, Xin arrived at Fu Ling''s office by 8:00 AM.


    It was nice to see her familiar face at thepany again, but all due procedures must be observed if she wanted to meet with the Boss, and so, a call was made from the front desk to the office of Fu Ling''s assistant.


    "I don''t have any formal appointment with him, so calling his assistant to confirm it, would be wrong. You can directly tell the boss that I am here to see him, and that my mother sent me." Xin said with a confident smile.


    Being in this ce after a long time, returned all her confidence and work ethic back to her. She acted professionally as if she was still an office worker.


    Heeding her advice, the from desk made a call directly to Fu Ling''s office. The secretary repeated Xin''s words to him over the phone.


    "Let her in." Fu Ling said and dropped the call.


    The secretary put down the telephone and faced Xin with a smile. "You can go in," She said to her.


    "Thank you," Xin replied with a graceful smile and took the two paper bags with her, and sales straight to the elevator. It was only when she got into it that she released a deep breath.


    It was now, that she was starting to be nervous. She was going to meet Fu Ling in the office, and that meant, seeing another side of him. She just hoped that this would end quickly.


    After dropping the call with the front desk, Fu Ling found his assistant to notify him of Xin.


    "My former assistant, Xin will be here soon. Send her to my office as soon as possible."


    Fu Ling''s order was short, simple, and precise.


    Immediately Xin went to what used to be her office to introduce herself to the assistant formerly, even though she knew him, and had trained him personally for that position, she was given a warm wee.


    "Boss asked me to send you in as soon as I see you." The assistant said as he got to his feet and showed her the way.


    "Thank you," Xin said with a smile and followed after him.


    In the office, She greeted Fu Ling and took a seat as per his gesture, as his assistant walked away.


    Fu Ling took a good look at Xin, and seeing the paper bags in her hands, he looked away and asked, "You said your mother sent you?"


    "Yes," Xin replied as she came back to her senses. She has been ncing around the office and reminiscing about the time she worked for him.


    Xin got to her feet and walked towards his table with the heavier paper bag. "This is a thank you gift from my mother."


    Fu Ling followed her hands as she quietly put down the bag on his table before raising his gaze to ask, "What is in there? Has your mother been discharged, why didn''t you tell me about it?"


    Xin saw that he got the wrong impression and hurried to correct him. "Sir, you are wrong, my mum is still in the hospital. She asked me to make this lunch for you on her behalf."


    Fu Ling seemed to guess the gist and said with a slight frown as he nced at the paper bag and back at her. "So, you made this food, is it edible?"


    If not, for one thing, Xin would have thought that he was insulting her. Well, what if that was his intention, she wouldn''t have done anything about it. After all, she owed him a lot.


    "My mother runs a restaurant, and she has been doing so since I was young. Beforeing to the city, I used to help her out in the kitchen, so I can make several edible dishes." Xin replied with a neutral gaze.


    There was a one-minute silence before Fu Ling decided to speak, "Alright, thank your mother on my behalf since she ordered this. I''m sure you have work to do this morning, so you can leave."


    Fu Ling was aware that she had to go to the restaurant where she worked, so he was asking her to leave so she wouldn''t bete.


    Those who don''t know better would think that he was chasing her out of his office because he was tired of seeing her face.


    Xin thanked him before going back to the couch to pick up the other paper bag, before leaving his office, and hispany with a deep sigh of relief.

 Chapter 692 A Date Night

    <h4>Chapter 692 A Date Night</h4>


    Today''s weather is perfect for a date night. With the feeling of mutual love in the air, several couples chose to go on a date at ater time, and Fu Meixu was no different.


    Her schedule has been a bit tight, and immediately Shi Qiao found out about her free time, he asked her out on a date.


    "Do we have to go on a date today? I heard that many ces will be crowdy." Meixu asked. She wouldn''t like to be photographed or interrupted on their date, and that can only happen if they go to a ce with a lot of people who may recognize her.


    "Not on a rooftop exclusively booked by me." Shi Qiao replied with a hint of a smile in his tone.


    A smile slowly appeared on Meixu''s face as she adjusted her sitting position. She was sitting on a dining chair and looked like she has just finished having a bowl of cereal for breakfast.


    "I guess you have been waiting for a long time for this date because you seem so much prepared." She said to him.


    From his words, she could sense that he has already made arrangements before telling her about it.


    Shi Qiao replied withughter in his tone, "You are right. I missed you, and I can''t wait to meet you."


    Meixu and Shi Qiao''s rtionship was so good right now, that they often and openly express their emotion toward each other.


    "You cane to pick me up at my penthouse any time. I didn''t have any ns of going anywhere today." Meixu said to him. How could she reject going on a date with him when she missed him as well?


    "I will be at your doorstep by 5 pm." Shi Qiao said. He really looked and sounded very happy, like he couldn''t wait to see her.


    Meixu was well aware that Shi Qiao did keep to time, so by 4 pm, she started to get ready for their date.


    Since he said their date would be on a rooftop, Meixu was mindful of her choice of outfit. The dress had to be beautiful and a little conservative, plus an added coat because of the air.


    At exactly 5 pm on the dot, Shi Qiao arrived at her doorstep and rang the doorbell. One ring was enough for Meixu to answer the door since she has been waiting for him.


    Before unlocking the door, Meixu looked through the security screen on the door. When she saw it was Shi Qiao, her face lit up in excitement, and she quickly opened the door.


    "Look who is here." Shi Qiao said with a big smile after he caught sight of Meixu who was smiling from ear to ear.


    Meixu pulled him by the arm and dragged him into the room, and said while shutting the door, "Come in before my neighbors see you and spread the news."


    Meixu''s apartment was not the only one on that floor, and although her neighbor maybe someone of a high social standard, she couldn''t trust that he/she wouldn''t gossip or take photos, so she was being very careful.


    Although her rtionship with Shi Qiao was official, she still hasn''t posted about her rtionship with him on the inte.


    "What if they see me, it doesn''t matter right?" Shi Qiao asked as he took her hand and walked in together.


    "It matters. I don''t want those journalists and reporters to keep an eye on our rtionship. You need to see how good they are with painting a false image of someone." Meixu said in an irritated tone.


    This is the reason she has been dying posting her rtionship on her social media handles. She didn''t think she was ready for any false right up, and being in the limelight.


    It could be so frustrating when your rtionship with your partner is constantly talked about every day. You will be in the limelight, and your rtionship will be talked about on daily basis.


    Pulling her to the sitting room, Shi Qiao was able to give her the long-expected hug. He had wanted to do that since she opened the door for him, but because she was quick with pulling her inside the house, he didn''t get the chance.


    And as for what she just said, he didn''t refute it. Anything that would make herfortable and feel at ease, he was willing to go through with it.


    Meixu embraced him back, and they both shared a quick kiss.


    As she let him go, she said, "I have a bottle of water for you."


    "I''m not thirsty, and I am not your regr visitor, so no need to feel bad about not serving me anything. If you are ready, let''s leave." Shi Qiao said as he gently squeezed her palms.


    "Sire, I am ready, let me get my bag," Meixu said and quickly rushed into her bedroom to get her handbag.


    A few minutester, the couple was already on their way to their date location. There were smiles on their faces, with each having different reasons for their excitement.


    Shi Qiao nced over and saw the big smile on Meixu''s face, and he couldn''t help asking, "Why do you look so happy?"


    "My boyfriend is taking me out on a date after a stressful week, of course, it''s something to be excited about," Meixu replied.


    Shi Qiao nodded, "let''s have the best date today," He said


    The rooftop Shi Qiao had booked, was that of an expensive restaurant. A meal there could run up to $2000, and so, not just anyone coulde there to eat.


    On arrival, the waiter escorted them to the rooftop. The whole time, Meixu was clinging to Shi Qiao''s arm like a gentle youngdy who didn''t have any courage.


    Shi Qiao was full of smiles with the reliance on him. Although his girlfriend had her own wealth, he was happy that she let him take care of her.


    When they got to the rooftop, It was almost dark, but the most important thing was that Meixu loved the whole arrangement.


    The rooftop setting was filled with romantic vibes, and Meixu couldn''t help falling in love over again.

    <h4>Chapter 693 Who proposes like Shi Qiao?</h4>


    "I love this ce!" Meixu said with a big smile.


    "I know you would, and that was the reason I put this in ce with your taste." Shi Qiao replied with a smile as he pulled out a chair for her.


    He had been dating for a while now to know her taste. And because he wanted her to be happy, he worked with her taste.


    After making sure she was seatedfortably, Shi Qiao went to sit on the chair opposite hers.


    It didn''t take time for the food Shi Qiao had ordered while he was booking the space, to be brought over.


    As the waiters served their food and wine, Shi Qiao exined to the surprised Meixu who wanted to ask about their food order.


    "Before today, I came to this ce to try their food, and once I found it ptable for you, I immediately decided to bring you here once you got some time off."


    "Thank you, you are a Darling!" Meixu praised.


    "That''s what boyfriends are for." Shi Qiao replied before ordering the waiter to open the bottle of expensive Italian wine.


    Shi Qiao poured some quantity of the red wine into their wine sses, and as he did so, Meixu closed her eyes, relinquishing the strong aroma of the wine.


    "This is a good deal," Meixu said with her eyes on the bottle of wine. The aroma of the wine was enough to tell that it was a good one.


    "Sure it is. Just wait until you have a taste." Shi Qiao said as he pushed her ss close to her, before picking up his own ss.


    After having a taste of the wine, Meixu finished the remaining in her ss and wanted more, just like the way Jia Li acted before.


    "This wine is very sweet, but be careful as it has an undercover. You can easily overlook it because of the sweetness." Shi Qiao warned with a knowing smile.


    A sweet smile appeared on Meixu''s face as she confirmed, "Let me guess, it''s easy to get drunk while drinking it?"


    "Bingo," Shi Qiao replied with a wink.


    "That''s not an issue, I have you to send me back home," Meixu replied nonchntly as she helped herself with another ss.


    Shi Qiao smiled and helped himself with the food. Steak was among the food he had ordered, so he helped Meixu to cut her potion into smaller pieces.


    After eating, the waiters who have been standing at a distance, came up to clear the dishes, after which another set of food was brought over.


    Meixu was once again surprised with the tray of food. "What''s your n, to fatten me up during my short break?" She asked with a smiling gaze directed at him.


    "Who knows..." Shi Qiao said as he pushed one of the meal desserts to her side.


    After serving her, he looked at her and said with a meaningful smile, "All these desserts may look like they have high calories, but trust me, they have low calories. I had them prepare them to your taste. But you can try mine because it is the normal version."


    Shi Qiao had the restaurant prepare Meixu''s favorite desserts with the perfect calorie intake she needed in a day since she was watching her weight. While he had his desert prepared the normal way."


    "You are so sweet for taking care of me to this extent," Meixu said with a sweet smile.


    "Of I don''t, who will? Eat up." Shi Qiao said as he watched her pick up her dessert spoon.


    When they were done with that round and were both rxing and chatting while enjoying the night view, Shi Qiao cut off their discussion and put his hand in his trouser pocket.


    "I got your something."


    "What is it?" Meixu asked with an anticipating gaze. She was one who loved gifts, and now that he said he got her one, she couldn''t wait to see it.


    "You will see." Shi Qiao said as he whipped his hand inside his pocket and took out a small box.


    With the way he was acting, Meixu thought it was a piece of jewelry and already couldn''t wait to see it.


    When Shi Qiao stole a nce at her, he knew that even with the box in his hand, she didn''t know what was in there, or that she would have guessed wrongly.


    Smiling to himself, Shi Qiao opened the box, and a diamond ring appeared before his eyes. Because of their position, and the way Shi Qiao held the box in his hands, Meixu couldn''t see anything.


    "I thought you would like this simple style, so I got it for you, give me your left hand." Shi Qiao said with a smiling gaze.


    ''Did he get me a bracelet?'' Meixu thought to herself. The only thought that came to her mind when he asked for her hand, was that he got her a bracelet instead of a ne which she thought it was.


    There was no need to think it was a ring because she thought that there was no way he wouldn''t have done a surprise proposal, or proposed properly.


    Without asking questions, Meixu brought her left hand forward. And it was only when he took her hand in his, that he brought out the ring.


    Meixu was so shocked that she immediately tries to snatch her hand back, but it looks like Shi Qiao knew she would do that, so held her hand tightly.


    Before Meixu could recover from the shock of seeing the diamond ring that appeared out of nowhere, Shi Qiao had already slid the ring onto her finger.


    Seeing that it fitted perfectly, Shi Qiao sighed in relief withing him, and a smile slowly appeared on his face. "Do you like it?" He asked with a gentle gaze on her.


    "And if I don''t like it, will you take it back?" Meixu blurted out without thinking. She was still shocked and had no time to think over her response before saying it out.


    Shi Qiao chuckled softly and replied, "If you don''t like it, then I will ask the Cartier store to bring over all the rings they have this minute."

 Chapter 694 A wedding in May

    <h4>Chapter 694 A wedding in May</h4>


    Meixu waspletely stunned. Looking at her fingers, she moved her gaze back to him to ask, "What''s the ring for?"


    "Let''s see... I put it on the right finger, so this is an engagement ring. Let''s get married when you are ready." Shi Qiao said with a big smile.


    There was a long silence between them that almost caused Shi Qiao to think that he made the worst move in his entire existence.


    He was almost about to apologize for his actions when Meixu withdrew her hand and said while gazing at the ring intently.


    "I like the ring, it''s simple and pretty, you really do know my taste. But is the way to propose to me? Haven''t you seen how other men propose, or are you ying with me?" Meixu asked.


    Shi Qiao sighed in relief within himself. He was happy that she wasn''t angry. "Those are other men. I am different from them."


    "You must be really proud of yourself," Meixu said, still admiring the ring.


    "Why not?" Shi Qiao said as he seemed more rxed than ever.


    Finally, Meixu looked away from the ring and fixed her gaze on him. "How about we get married as soon as possible?"


    "As soon as possible, are we in a hurry? You know, you told me you had a series to start filming soon, and it would take a few months." Shi Qiao reminded her.


    If she wanted then to get married very soon, how was that going to be possible with her filming project? It''s not like she would request 2 weeks off to n her wedding, get married, and go for a honeymoon...


    Meixu smiled brilliantly and replied, "That''s not going to be a problem. We can have the wedding as soon as possible before the filming starts. I would take some time off before I join them in filming. Let''s have our wedding as soon as possible."


    Suddenly, Meixu couldn''t wait to get married. She has known Shi Qiao longer than the time they have dated, and she was sure he would make a good husband as long as he stayed true to her.


    There was no need to explore everything while they are still dating. A few months of dating was enough, and they would finish the rest of their fun in marriage.


    "But there is going to be a problem with getting a wedding nner, and booking a venue. We need to make a project and decide the number of guests. We also need time to get your wedding gown handmade. Also, we need to get the best team for our wedding. Surely, you wouldn''t want our wedding to seem rushed right?" Shi Qiao said as he tried to reason with her.


    He didn''t want their wedding rushed although it wasn''t going to be a problem on his part. He didn''t want her to regret them having a rushed weddingter in the future.


    After he made her see things differently, Meixu agreed to slow down.


    "I don''t think I''m going to regret this, but what you said made sense, so let''s slow down a bit, but the longest I can wait is may. We are in March now, and a wedding in May wouldn''t be bad, and besides, I love that month. So, let''s get married in May."


    Shi Qiao smiled and nodded in agreement with her month of choice. "May is a good month, let''s get married in May. But are you sure it''s okay to take a break in-between shooting?"


    Shi Qiao was still worried about that and had to ask again.


    "It''s normal. 2 weeks break is not that long, but before then, I will speak to the director to shoot most of my scenes because I would be taking a break soon." Meixu replied after a thought.


    Her request most definitely wouldn''t be rejected because of the reason behind the 2 weeks break she would want to take.


    Since there was nothing wrong with it, and she was okay with it, Shi Qiao didn''t worry anymore.


    After chatting a bit about their dream wedding, they concluded their conversation by deciding to tell their families about their wedding in May, and then the next step would be to employ a wedding nner and book a good venue.


    Meixu was really different from FangSu. FangSu still wanted to take things gradually. She wanted a wedding in thest quarter of the year, and she was making big ns for it, so it needed time for every arrangement to settle.


    As for Meixu, she didn''t need a big wedding. She wanted something simple, yet, extraordinary. She didn''t want to make a big fuss about it, so the reason only their families and closest friends will attend her wedding with Shi Qiao.


    That evening, Shi Qiao took Meixu back to her penthouse and didn''t leave until her assistant came over. Before leaving, he didn''t forget to peck his fiancee''s forehead and wished her a good night.


    The next day, Meixu and Shi Qiao spent long hours having a conversation on phone. And atst, when it ended, Meixu freshened up and got ready to leave for the Fu Vi.


    She was going to make her marriage announcement during dinner first, then a few dayster, Shi Qiao woulde over to make his intentions known officially.


    At the Fu Mansion, Jia Li was currently enjoying a belly massage from Fu Hua.


    Fu Hua had told her it was better to start the olive oil massage earlier during her first semester to prevent stretch marks there, and so this evening, he ordered her to sit on the bed and raise her shirt.


    Seeing the oil in his hand, Jia Li didn''t ask what his intentions were, because it was already clear to her.


    "We have to make you look very beautiful during this period. I have to take better care of you this time around." Fu Hua said while rubbing the oil al overhear stomach.


    It wasn''t like he didn''t take care of her in her first pregnancy, the case was different. He did his best back then with the knowledge he had.


    This time around, his knowledge has improved, and that will enable him to take better care of her.

 Chapter 695 Because Mummy has more

    <h4>Chapter 695 Because Mummy has more</h4>


    Jia Li just sat there and rxed while enjoying her husband''s care. "You are already doing very well."


    "After this, let''s give you a back and waist massage." Fu Hua said while working diligently.


    Jia Li smiled, she was happy with the efforts he was putting in to make her veryfortable. It''s not like she was at the stage of getting stretch marks, or back pains, but she just let him do what he wanted.


    It feels so good to be looked after by one''s husband, especially during this special time. Jia Li felt blessed.


    After massaging her stomach, Fu Hua covered the oil and kept it aside, but when Jia Li wanted to bring down her shirt, he stopped her.


    "Are you not through?" She asked with a confused nce.


    Fu Hua did not reply, instead, he leaned over to kiss her oily stomach with his lips. When he raised his head to look at her, she burst out inughter.


    Fu Hua''s lips were oily, and from the big smile on his face, you could tell that he did that on purpose.


    "Do you know how you look right now?" Jia Li managed to say while chuckling hard.


    "What do you I look like?" Fu Hua asked with a smile.


    With a hand over her mouth, she said, "You look so funny. I need to get a photo of you looking this way." After saying this, she grabbed her phone and turned on the camera.


    Instead of hiding away, Fu Hua posed for her to take a few snapshots of him. He was so shameless to pout his lips before her.


    Jia Li couldn''t stopughing while clicking those photos. While swiping through the pictures she had just taken, she said with a big smile on her face, "You know, I would have loved to post this so everyone can see this side of you, it would have been so fun, but I don''t want to hurt your pride, so I will keep this photo exclusively for myself."


    Without warning, Fu Hua held her face and pecked her on her face. Not once, but five times at different areas of her face.


    Jia Li saw herself giggling after throwing her phone aside.


    "No, I will take a few pictures of you in this state, now smile for me." Fu Hua ordered as he picked up her phone and turned on her camera.


    "Is this your way of taking revenge on me?" Jia Li asked inughter.


    "No, this is us having fun." Fu Hua replied as he clicked away on the camera button.


    After taking a few photos of her while she was talking andughing, he showed them to her.


    When the fun was over, Jia Li adjusted her sitting position, so he could sit behind her and give her a good massage.


    Wanting to tease him, Jia Li moaned each time his hands moved against her back. In the sense, she was literally moaning non-stop.


    "What should I do to you? You are here ying games while I''m doing genuine work here. Anyone that hears you moaning would think we are doing something else." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    Jia Li stopped moaning and finally took some time off to reply, "Oh! So giving me a massage is a genuine act of service, but the other one is a criminal act?"


    "Criminal act?" Fu Hua couldn''t help chuckling out loud. Sometimes, he couldn''t help but find her way of speaking funny.


    If the other one was a criminal act, then even she would be arrested.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua had a good time during the massage section. After washing his hands, Fu Hua went to bring some slices of Apple for her, but before he coulde back, their little girl had alreadye to upy the side of his bed.


    "Princess, did you miss Mum and Dad?" Fu Hua asked as he passed the te of Apple slices to Jia Li who took it and thanked him.


    "Yes," Jasmine replied with a smile before she moved her gaze to the apple slices.


    "Do you want one?" Jia Li asked the little girl with a gentle smile. She had noticed that she would love some after catching her gaze on them.


    Jasmine smiled and nced at her mother. She nodded happily.


    Jia Li picked a slice from her te and gave it to her, "Here you go."


    "Thank you, Mummy!" Jasmine said before taking a small bite from her apple slice.


    Fu Hua walked to their side and said with his hand stretched out, "Princess, can I have a bite?"


    "No!" Jasmine said as she shifted away from him, so he wouldn''t have the chance of grabbing her apple from her.


    Fu Hua chuckled at her cute actions and said, "Princess, you should be a cheerful giver by giving out more."


    "But I don''t want to give it to you." The little girl said honestly. Her apple slice was from, and now he was trying to take a bite from it, wouldn''t the whole thing be gone once he tries to have a bite?


    "Why?" Fu Hua asked while Jia Li watched the pair as she munched on her fruit.


    Jasmine said while pointing at the te in her mother''s hand, "Because mummy has more, and I only have this slice."


    Jia Li and Fu Hua could not help chuckling. Their little girl looked very serious all through the time she gave her reasons for not giving.


    "Princess, do I care about the quantity of the food, snacks, and fruits I have left before giving it to you?" Fu Hua asked. He looked hurt, and at the same time ready to get to the bottom of this matter.


    "No you don''t, but you are my Daddy. And if I give this little piece I have left to you, it will all go into your mouth. Why don''t you ask mummy to give your a slice?" Jasmine advised and took a bite from her apple slice.


    Fu Hua exchanged nces with Jia Li before looking at the little girl to ask, "Who told you that everything will disappear in my mouth? I''m only going to take a small bite."


    Jasmine nced at the remaining apple slice in her hand and decided to give it up. "Adults do take big bites," She said out loud before passing it to him.

 Chapter 696 Moving up the wedding date

    <h4>Chapter 696 Moving up the wedding date</h4>


    What more could Jia Li and Fu Hua say? They came to understand that their little girl pays attention when adults are eating, and seeing them eat a mouthful of food, she must have thought that a bite from her Dad will cause nothing to remain for her.


    "Princess, daddy keeps to his word, see..." Fu Hua said as he took a small bite and returned the remaining to her.


    Jia Li added from the side, "Jasmine see, Daddy only took a small bite as he said. Learn to trust daddy."


    The little girl nodded in understanding before munching away.


    "Here is your reward for being a giver," Jia Li said as she took out another slice from her te and gave it to her.


    Jasmine was ted and thanked her mother. Now, she didn''t regret allowing her father to take a bite from her apple slice.


    Jia Li also gave Fu Hua a few slices so he could enjoy with them as well.


    "Mummy, my teacher told us to draw some objects, could you help me with some of them?" Jasmine asked. She remembered the assignment that was given to her and asked for help.


    Jia Li replied with a smile, "Can you ask Daddy for help? Mummy is going to be very busy after taking a break."


    "Daddy has helped me with some of them, but I need you to finish the other ones. I want to see who draws better." Jasmine said as she pped her hands.


    The little girl knew that her parents could draw, as she has seen them sketching a lot of times, and their sketches looked beautiful. Now, she wanted to see who was more good at it.


    Jasmine knew whatpetition was, because she has been put to test in her school, and now, she wanted her parents to join the one she was hosting.


    Jia Li exchanged nces with Fu Hua before Fu Hua tried to convince their daughter.


    "Princess don''t be stubborn. Your mummy has lots of dresses to sketch. Maybe you can watch her do that, andter, I will help you finish up your assignment"


    "Okay, Daddy!" Jasmine said with a brilliant smile. Something else had snatched her attention. She found it fun, and interesting to watch her mother sketch beautiful dresses, and she wanted to do so now.


    After taking a few more minutes break, Jia Li went to the workroom arranged specifically for her and Fu Hua to work on her sketches.


    Her desk looked very much untidy, so she cleaned it up with the help of the little girl who was eager to help out.


    In between watching her mother sketch, her father brought her homework over and asked her toe to watch him draw the other objects, so she can learn to replicate them in her textbook.


    Jasmine was very obedient. Not only because of her assignment, but at the reminder that dinner will be starting soon, and after it, it would be bedtime.


    Fu Hua had told her that she had to get her assignment done that day or else, she wouldn''t get the chance to do it in the morning, and then, she would be punished in school by her teachers.


    It''s not like their teachers would hit them or give them a heavy punishment, little tasks can be carried out by them which was easy for their age.


    When it was time for dinner, the entire family members gathered in the dining room and took their respective seats.


    And it was before they began to eat that Meixu announced her engagement with Shi Qiao and marriage ns.


    Meixu was quite different from FangSu, or you could say that she has matured with time.


    Meixu didn''t show off her ring as FangSu did. She spoke calmly about her engagement while her hands rested on her thighs.


    It was FangSu who was sitting next to her that caught sight of the ring and couldn''t help trying to pull her hand, but Meixu pushed her hands away.


    "Why don''t you want me to see your ring?" FangSu asked as she retracted her hands.


    "Why? So you can eat it?" Meixu asked with a calm gaze on her.


    FangSu looked away and said in a low tone, "You are so stingy."


    Fu ChuHua who didn''t have any obvious happiness on her face asked, "Must your wedding be in May? Why are you rushing it? Are you pregnant?"


    Meixu was really annoyed with the question her mother asked, and she couldn''t help but fire back. "Whether I''m pregnant or not, should you ask that question right here? I know you don''t like Shi Qiao that much, but there is nothing you can do about it."


    Meixu even wanted to add, that if she wanted any particr character or trait in any other man she wanted her to marry, then she could marry him herself since she wanted a man to her taste. But because of the elders there, she held back her tongue.


    Besides, her grandfather would not spare her if she spoke that way.


    "ChuHua, you are not the one getting married so why are bothered? Meixu has chosen the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with, so your opinion is not that needed." Grandfather Fu said with a gaze on ChuHua.


    He knew about the person she wanted Meixu to end up with it, and he didn''t like her opinion because she was biased about a life partner.


    If Shi Qiao was not a good person, he would never let his granddaughter''s rtionship get to the level of them dating. He would have taken care of it since.


    No human is perfect, just like Shi Qiao who had visible ws. The old man of the Fu family saw that his intentions were pure, so he let him be.


    Since the old man has spoken, Fu ChuHua could only fume within herself.


    "Grandfather, can you ask Meixu to show us her ring so we can help her check its authenticity? You know, we can''t let her get cheated." FangSu said with a smile.


    Fu Hee rolled her eyes at her as replied, "The reason you care so much about her engagement ring, is it not topare it with yours and see which one is more expensive or beautiful?"

 Chapter 697 Discharged

    <h4>Chapter 697 Discharged</h4>


    After being exposed, FangSu shut vermouth, but only after a while. She couldn''t seem to stop herself from being interested in her cousin''s wedding ns.


    "If you need my wedding vendors to help you, you can take them since my wedding isn''t happening now."


    "No, thank you, I can set up my own team," Meixu said and picked up her chopsticks to eat.


    Fu ChuHua who had a dissatisfied gaze said to her, or more like tried to talk her out of rushing her wedding ns.


    "Meixu, you know you can actually move up your wedding date. You can learn from FangSu. You have to take your time with your ns and your decision because it is a lifelong one."


    "Really?" Meixu scoffed. "Isn''t the reason you want me to postpone my wedding because you want me to have enough time to break up with Shi Qiao. Thest time I learned, you got married to Dad less than 6 months after meeting each other."


    "What has the rtionship between the dad and I got to do with yours?" Fu ChuHua asked with an ugly expression on her face.


    She didn''t know where she was pointing, but it felt to her that she was reminding her of her age, and the sole reason she quickly got married to a man 3 years younger than her.


    That has been her sour spot, so each time that kind of sentence was mentioned, she usually red up.


    Grandfather Fu dropped his cutlery in anger, and that made an alerting noise. But that did make Fu ChuHuae to her senses. When she met the old man''s angry gaze, she looked away in fright. She was terrified of being scolded.


    "Now you can stop talking right?" Fu Geming asked with an annoyed gaze.


    As for Meixu, she smiled to herself as she could eat peacefully without anyone trying to annoy her with their words.


    After dinner, Grandfather Fu spoke to the entire family, with his main focus directed at YingPei and Ling.


    "I know that you two lied to me during my birthday, but I let that be because you at least made some efforts, but those lies ends today because I can see you doing well. I won''t force any of you to get married, but I want you to understand something. Don''t be carried away by your career and forget to settle down. When you meet the right person, dump your pride and work hard to make them yours."


    YingPei and Ling exchanged confusing nces. With the way their old man was talking, they really couldn''t ce a hold on their guesses.


    They were trying to guess if their old man knew that they had lied about having girlfriends before, and also, have been keeping an eye on them.


    But at least they got one thing from him, and that was the fact that they were no longer under any pressure to settle down.


    Grandfather has been keeping an eye on the two of them, but he wasn''t closing watching them like intruding into their privacy. He needed to know when to caution them before it was toote.


    After the small meeting was over, Jasmine who clung to her father and refused to let go when her Nanny came to take her away, sons he could be put to bed, said to the old man out of the blue, "Great grandfather, I want to have a wedding."


    "No, you are not having any wedding!" Fu Hua blurted out with a deep frown before anyone could react.


    The little girl''s statement and her father''s reaction were a thing ofughter. Grandfather Fu couldn''t helpughing at the duo. After expressing himself throughughter, he said to the little girl as he took her hand and squeezed it gently, "Da-Xia, you will, but at the right time."


    "Great-grandpa, when is the right time?" Jasmine probed.


    Jia Li had to step in at this time to distract the little girl. "Jasmine, you are a few minuteste for your bedtime, say good night to your great grandfather so you can rest early if you don''t want to bete for school tomorrow."


    With that, the little girl bid good night to her elders just before her father carried her away.


    "This is the reason she has to stop being present during the adult discussion." Fu Hua said as he walked ahead.


    "I know, sometimes I get pissed off as well." Jia Li said with a low tone.


    When they got to their daughter''s bedroom, Fu Hua out her took her to wash her hands, before tucking her in.


    "Good Night daddy, good night Mummy," Jasmine said as she waved to her parents.


    "Good night." Jia Li and Fu Hua said in unison and kissed the little princess on her forehead before leaving for their bedroom.


    Some dayster, Xin''s mother is discharged from the hospital, and she helps her daughter to prepare a mini feast for Fu Ling.


    Two days earlier, Fu Ling received the invitation from Xin who came personally to let him in on her mother''s intentions.


    "The daily lunch is enough, why is she troubling herself?" Fu Ling asked. The everyday lunch was enough for him to receive her thanks, so he didn''t know why she wanted to go through all that trouble again.


    "That''s who my mother is," Xin replied.


    Fu Ling was silent for a while before saying, "Tell her that after this, I will no longer ept anything from her."


    Xin nodded and took his words before leaving. After she left his office, Fu Ling didn''t immediately get back to work. He spent some time thinking by himself before heaving a sigh.


    Back to the present day, Immediately Xin''s mother got back home from the hospital after she was discharged that day, she only took a short nap after instructing Xin on what to do. But immediately she woke up, she got all fired up.


    She was immediately busy in the kitchen, which worried Xin.


    "Mum, you just got out of the hospital, you shouldn''t be doing this kind of work already."


    "I am already fine, and the doctor confirmed it. It''s not like I''m doing anything strenuous. You are the one cutting the vegetables, while I cook. Besides, I have to join hands today, since you have been the one doing all the work since." Xin''s mother said with a smile.

 Chapter 698 Does your boss like you?

    <h4>Chapter 698 Does your boss like you?</h4>


    Xin and her mother put all their efforts into hosting Fu Ling that evening.


    When Fu Ling arrived at the apartment, he felt weird and began to regret why he epted this dinner.


    He was ufortable being in Xin''s apartment and if it was a house belonging to her family, he wouldn''t be that bothered.


    Since he has already stepped into her house and was greeted and taken in, it was toote to turn around, so he had to get used to the environment.


    Xin''s mother was so weing and all through the dinner, she was smiling from ear to ear and making him try all the dishes on the table.


    This was a first for Fu Ling since wasn''t all that free. Thankfully, Xin was there to keep her mother in check.


    Once Fu Ling checked his wristwatch and saw that it was already past 6:30 pm, he got up to leave after he wished Xin''s mother a safe trip back to their hometown.


    "Mr. Fu, thank you foring over. I wish you a safe trip back home." Xin''s mother said before giving Xin a sign to send him off.


    While they were off, She cleared all the dishes on the table with a thought, ''I have shown my gratefulness to him.''


    She was thinking about the freedom and relief she just had from hosting Fu Ling. Now that she was going back to her hometown, she felt free of debts.


    Free of debts didn''t mean that she had no idea about the debts her daughter had to repay, even though the amount was not known to her. The freedom she felt was different.


    After Xin escorted Fu Ling downstairs, He opened his car and brought out a shop bag, and passed it to her.


    Because he was speaking while passing the bag to her, Xin instinctively took it from him without the opportunity to reject it.


    "I got some tonics for your mother and she can take them with the prescription written by the doctor. I didn''t want to go in with it so she wouldn''t feel indebted and want to do something else again, hence I left it in my car and waited for this opportunity." Fu Ling exined.


    Fu Ling could see himself out, but he purposely did not say anything when Xin''s mother asked her to escort him, just because of the expensive tonics he had to give her.


    Fu Ling was not someone that cared or showed that kind of emotion to anybody, but he felt a sense of duty to do something since the person involved was his former staff''s parent.


    Fu Ling has never had the chance to act this way to anyone because, in the Fu family, there were servants that ran errands for them. They didn''tck people to look after them, and this first experience for him wasn''t so bad. Especially because he wasn''t forced to do it.


    Xin was taken by surprise and didn''t expect this kind of gesture from him, till the extent that she almost forgot to say thanks.


    "Remind your mother of the doctor''s advice, I''m leaving." Fu Ling said and got into his car, and it was at this time that Xin remembered to thank him, just before he drove off.


    There was a big smile on Xin''s face as she waited for Fu Ling''s car to disappear from her view. "He is really so kind and different from his looks." She said to herself.


    She would have been carried away by admiring this new side of her ex-boss soon-to-be boss if she didn''t remember that her mother was left all alone in her house, and just a few seconds out of her sight was enough to get her working again.


    Rushing back to her apartment, Xin wasn''t surprised to see her mother working, but she managed to pull her out of the kitchen by giving her the expensive healthy tonics Fu Ling bought for her.


    Even Xin''s mother who was very excited about the kind gesture had to ask, "Does your boss like you in any way?"


    Immediately she asked that question, a shocked gaze appeared on Xin''s face. She was thinking about how her boss would like her when she was the one that had her eyes on him.


    "Mum, why would you think like that?" Xin asked with a shocked gaze.


    Her mother nced at those bottles of tonics before shifting her gaze to her, "Because no boss would be so good to their current or former employee. Are you sure he doesn''t like you?"


    Xin understood the reason for her mother''s weird question, but that didn''t mean that she would continue to let her have those absurd thoughts.


    "Mum, stop thinking that way. My Boss was very strict with me and any other staff back when I was working for him. He doesn''t smile with anyone, and if you make any mistakes, he scolds the hell out of you. I think he is acting this way because it is hard for him to ignore your situation since he came to find out about it. Also, he may be acting this way because I am no longer his employee."


    Xin thought this way because given how strict Fu Ling was with her and the others back then, he would never give out this kind of help because he loves maintaining that strict rtionship between a boss and an employee.


    Now that she no longer worked for him, there was no need to maintain any professional rtionship between them.


    Xin''s mother seemed to get the gist now and didn''t mention any other absurd thoughts, which made Xin sigh in relief and get back to doing the work her mother was working on before she came in.


    On his way back home, Fu Ling thought back to how close the rtionship Xin had with her mother was. During dinner, he could see how close they were, and he came to understand that Xin might not go on well if anything had happened to her mother.


    Within him, Fu Ling began to feel the need to have that kind of rtionship with someone, even though it would hurt if things went south.

 Chapter 699 Estranged Relationship

    <h4>Chapter 699 Estranged Rtionship</h4>


    The Fu family has been peaceful within themselves and things seemed to be going on well with all of them except a family member who was living outside the Fu house.


    Fu Juan''s marriage to her husband has been rocky for the past few years. The Fu family members had an idea about it, but they couldn''t do anything since Fu Juan doesn''t talk to them about her rtionship.


    If no problem was brought to their desk, there was no need for them to probe, given the kind of person Fu Juan was.


    If you bring up her topic or try to help when she didn''t ask for it, especially when it came to a sensitive topic like her marriage, that was not going to end well.


    Even Grandfather Fu doesn''t try to meddle in her rtionship since she doesn''t listen anyway.


    This evening after Fu Juan returned to work tired, a servant brought her a bottle of water to drink after which she went to her bathroom to have a long bath.


    Now dressed in her night robe, she went to the dinner table to have the food prepared for her. Her pte seemed very differentpared to the kind of food she used to it at the Fu House.


    From the dishesid out for her, she seemed to be on a diet, or she had turned to have something special for vegan dishes.


    While eating, her husband came back home, and they acted as if they didn''t see each other. No nce or greeting was said.


    Fu Juan''s husband clearly saw Fu Juan at the dining table and heard the sounds of cutlery, but he just walked past like there was nobody there, or any sounding from that ce.


    Likewise Fu Juan, she clearly saw her husband walking in, but she pretended not to see or hear the sound of his footsteps.


    Quickly freshening up and changing into his night robe, he appeared at the dining hall with a document in his hand.


    Once he got there, he ced the document on the table and said to Fu Juan who was almost done having her food, "I need you to sign those papers."


    Finally, She spared him a nce, "Is that the reason you agreed toe home and probably want to spend the night here?" She asked after taking a good look at his appearance.


    "I don''t think that should be any of your concern right now." Her husband replied with his face, void of any emotion.


    Fu Juan went back to eating without bothering to take a nce at the document he wanted her to sign.


    "Take it away, I don''t want my dinner to be ruined." She said before sending a spoon of vegetable sd into her mouth.


    Before he could reply to her, a servant came by to ask if he wanted an emergency dinner to be whipped up for him.


    "I ate outside, and sitting in the same room with this woman will make me lose my appetite." He said to the servant with an ugly expression on his face.


    Seeing that the atmosphere was very terrible, the servant scurried away.


    It''s not like this was a new thing, but it looked from the situation at hand, that things were worse, so she had to leave before she gets into their fight.


    If Fu Juan''s husband was spending the night there, he usually called in advance to ask what kind of food he wanted for his dinner, but since he didn''t d that, the servant had toe to ask him about it.


    All this while, Fu Juan was still enjoying her meal, which her husband couldn''t take. There was no way he wouldn''t lose his appetite from seeing her face, but here she was eating as if nothing concerned her.


    It wouldn''t be bad if he ruined her appetite right? With that thought, he pointed at the document he left on the table and said, "I need you to sign those divorce papers by tonight, I have already penned down my signature."


    After saying that, he was in the move to walk away, but after sessfully igniting Fu Juan''s temper, where did he think he was going?


    Fu Juan was so angry that she pushed the tes off the table, and the sound of them shattering on the ceramic tiles was so loud that the servants came running over, but once they saw the estranged husband and wife at each other''s throat, they all disappeared from their view.


    "What makes you think that you are qualified to ask me for a divorce? Did that woman give you the courage to pull this stunt again?!" Fu Juan asked with bloodshot eyes.


    "Looking at you, all ring up and acting like a not well-bred daughter!" He said with disgust, but he received a quick p on his face.


    He didn''t look surprised as he touched the side of his cheek that got pped and said, "You get angry when I talk about your family and get you violent. Am I wrong that you were prestigious family couldn''t raise you properly?"


    His purposely trying to get on her nerves by talking bad about her family was something she couldn''t tolerate, and so she raised her hand again to p him, but he caught them on time and held them strongly.


    "You want to hit me again? Never again! I keep saying that you were not raised properly, and you continue giving me proof that I am not bluffing. What kind of woman hits the man she is still married to?" Her husband asked.


    Fu Juan managed to snatch her hands from his hold and said fiercely, "The kind of woman that is constantly insulted and disrespected in her marriage by her husband whomitted adultery on so many asions. And don''t you ever speak ill of my family again! I was well raised, but it''s actually you who asked for this kind of treatment from me!"


    Her husbandughed and said to her, "Since you are aware of my continuous adultery which I had stopped hiding from you since a long time ago, why have you refused to sign the divorce papers?"

 Chapter 700 Placate her emotions

    <h4>Chapter 700 cate her emotions</h4>


    "Are you proud of your express adultery?" Fu Juan asked with a distorted gaze. She felt like disarranging the face of the man standing before her.


    "Yes, it feels good to do that and you can''t do anything about it." Her husband replied with a proud gaze.


    His response was able to make any self-controlled personmit murder, and Fu Juan who already had an issue more or less, couldn''t take it.


    It took her hurting herself by clenching her fist tightly, to not pick up a shred of ss from the floor and stab him with it.


    "Good! Now watch me not give you divorce so you can not give that woman and her children a better name and status, let''s see what you can do about it. I will never give you a divorce!" Fu Juan dered.


    She looked more determined now. She didn''t care if her husband had another woman outside and two children with her. There was no way she was going to give him a divorce so he can go enjoy the family he created while legally being married to her.


    She would be doing him a favor if she signed that divorce paper, and there is no way she would want to give him that peace. If he wanted to take in more women and have more children, he was free to do that, but there was no way she would give him what he wanted.


    No matter what, he would never dare to bring that woman and her children into their house.


    "If you don''t sign the divorce papers, I will sue you and drag your entire family into the mess!" Her husband threatened. He really was pissed off with her attitude and confidence.


    Fu Juan scoffed and leaned in close to say, "Who do you think you are to threaten me? You should be the one afraid of what I can do with the pieces of evidence of your obvious adultery. If you deny the woman and the children, a DNA test will be done to prove you wrong. Don''t get all hyper about your insignificant confidence!"


    "Am I the only reason things went south in this sham of a marriage? Don''t you know what you did wrong? Your family should really see your true colors and know that I am not totally to me for this!" Her husband said and walked away.


    Fu Juan scoffed and stood there and waited till her husband got dressed and walked out again.


    "I think you would be careful of unting your second family so as not to be caught in Adultery by the public." Fu Juan reminded in a taunted tone.


    Her husband stopped in his steps and turned to ce at her, "Maybe it will be good to be caught by them, than being tied to you in marriage!"


    "It looks like you are not afraid of losing everything you have, including your position at thepany!" Fu Juan threatened.


    "You can''t do anything about my position at thepany we built together! But if you try it, I will sell my shares and make sure your right is taken from you!" The man promised and walked off without looking back.


    Fu Juan and her husband had started and built apany together, but because Fu Juan brought more funds and had more experience in the business, she was made the President, while her husband took over the vice president position.


    Back then and till now, there was no feud about their positions in thepany because it was onlymon sense for Fu Juan to lead in other for theirpany to be stabilized.


    Now that their rtionship hase to this point, Fu Juan who had more authority and shares in thepany than her husband was now threatening him about this position.


    When her husband left, she sniggered and left for her bedroom to make a call. Her tone sounded gentle while on the phone with the person she called.


    "How are you? Have you had dinner yet? I just wanted to tell you to get ready to move your things. I will give you more detailster. Don''t workte into the night, rest early."


    After the conversation came to an end, Fu Juan put down her phone with a smile and got into the bed. She looked very happy and satisfied after the call as if her peace of mind was restored to her.


    While this big drama was going on in Fu Juan''s marriage, Shi Qiao visited the Fu family with his immediate family to make the official proposal and marriage intention towards Meixu.


    Shi Qiao and his family were weed and treated like a part of the Fu family already. Shi Qiao and his family came with dowry as a traditional right, and the Fu family gave something more in return.


    The dinner setting was like an advanced dinner set with a little festive decoration. Fu Meixu was all smiling throughout the dining time, but each time she met her mother''s fake smile, she tried to hide her unhappiness.


    Before Shi Qiao and his family left, they spoke briefly about their wedding in May. Since this was their wedding, Meixu and Shi Qiao gave a brief n for their wedding.


    They didn''t want the wedding to be big, only close friends and rtives should be in attendance. Their small guest list didn''t mean that their wedding was going to be small.


    Not families epted their choice and made a conclusion on that. Now, everyone was going to work with that intention in mind.


    After Shi Qiao and his family left, the Fu family spoke a little on the matter, before returning for the night.


    In the bedroom, Fu Hua helped Jia Li to bed and tucked her in. Even Fu Hua began to wonder if she was that weak, or her stomach was not out that she couldn''t help herself anymore.


    "What''s wrong?" Jia Li asked because she noticed something out of ce.


    "I''m trying to cate your emotions." Fu Hua replied as he got into bed.


    "And why would you do that, nothing is wrong with my emotions?" Jia Li asked with an interested gaze.

 Chapter 701 Working for him again

    <h4>Chapter 701 Working for him again</h4>


    It turns out that Fu Hua thought that she would be sad with seeing how a proper formality was done in marriage since she never expected that because her parents died before that could happen.


    Jia Li couldn''t help smiling and hugging Fu Hua to her chest. "It''s true that I may feel sad because I miss my parents, but it''s only for a brief moment because know that they are in a better ce."


    "Okay, I get you! But making me rest my head on this soft pillow, isn''t it a little too much? It''s making me crave for something wild." Fu Hua teased with a smiling gaze on her.


    Jia Li smiled and said, "Oh! you are already craving something wild while I was seeking your warmth? I''m sorry to disturb you, but you can''t get the wild candy tonight because the baby doesn''t permit you."


    "You lie. Our baby would want me as the father to be happy, so, let''s go for one slow and steady round." Fu Hua said and immediately moved his head away from her chest and pounced on her.


    Jia Li couldn''t help giggling as he tickled her and showered her with kisses on her face, neck, and chest. Jia Li really thought that he had really wanted to get the wild candy, but she now came to understand that he was only teasing her.


    When the few moments of y were over, Fu Hua brought Jia Li into his embrace before his hand went to her abdomen.


    "I can''t wait for our baby to grow up quickly ande out already! I miss holding Jasmine when she was still so little. See how quickly she grew." Fu Hua said with a gentle gaze.


    Jia Li liked the sensation she felt as he caressed her abdomen. She also felt so blissful knowing that she carrying another life in her.


    "I also can''t wait to see our baby as well. It''s really taking its time to grow. If anyone sees my bare abdomen, they would never know that I am pregnant." She said with a smile.


    "You are right, the baby it''s really taking its time to grow. Maybe your bump wouldn''t be as big as the time you were carrying Jasmine. Let''s wait and see." Fu Hua said as he slipped his hand inside her clothes so he could feel her abdomen more.


    Jia Li closed her eyes in satisfaction and soon fell asleep in his arms.


    When Fu Hua was able to hear her even breathing, he knew she was already deep into sleep, and so, kissed her forehead before closing his eyes to sleep next to her.


    The next morning, Jia Li woke up feeling so much better. After receiving warm hugs from her daughter and her husband, she felt energized and ready for the day''s job.


    After the normal breakfast with the entire family, everyone went about their daily business.


    Fu Ling arrived at work at the usual time and was told that Xin has been waiting for him. He has asked her toe over for the matter pertaining to her debts, but he was surprised that she woulde in the morning.


    As he went into his office with Xin tailing behind him, he said to her, "When I told you toe, I didn''t mean this morning. I meant during lunch break or something."


    "I didn''t dare to waste time for my benefit as well. I was really restless and couldn''t wait to hear how I would repay my debts." Xin replied as she sat on the couch he pointed out for her.


    Fu Ling noticed the fear in her tone and couldn''t help smiling. "Why are you so worked up? I''m not going to ask you to kill anyone in other to pay off your debts, so you can sigh in relief."


    Xin really took deep breaths to calm her nerves because her boss was usually unpredictable.


    "What method would I use to repay my debts?" She asked with a curious gaze on him.


    Fu Ling rxed on the couch opposite hers and said with crossed legs, "You mentioned taking 2 months'' advance payment from your workce. It wouldn''t be right to return the money even though you didn''t use it, so I will give you 2 months to work off the advance payment and thene work for me."


    If there were other ideas that Xin had about her form or mode of payment, this was surely not part of it.


    For the next few seconds, Xin was silent. Fu Ling watched her silently, waiting for her response. For him, it''s not like she had any choice, so there was no need for her to try and refute him.


    Truly, Xin had seen that she had no choice, but deep down in her heart, she was thinking of the reason her ex-boss wanted her to work for him again.


    ''Has he forgotten the reason I asked to resign?'' Xin thought to herself.


    There was this conflict in her heart because of that thought. Fu Ling noticed it and asked her to say whatever was in her mind.


    "Can you tell me what you are thinking right now? Do you have any objection?"


    Xin nced at him and said with sincerity, "Sir, have you forgotten the reason I quit in the first ce? I don''t want to be conflicted with my emotions and end up dying my work progress."


    With his gaze fixed on her as he shiftedfortably on the couch, he said calmly, "I haven''t forgotten the reason you left, and that should not be a problem. You will not be working closely with me this time around, and we will rarely have contact with each other. But if your feelings remain the same, then we will do something about it."


    Xin did not expect this kind of reply, and she didn''t understand everything he said. She looked a little conflicted.


    ''What did he mean that they would do something about her feelings if it doesn''t change? How would he know what she was thinking of they were not going to work closely?''

 Chapter 702 Morning Sickness

    <h4>Chapter 702 Morning Sickness</h4>


    "Sweetheart?" Fu Hua called out as he quickly followed behind her with a look of worry on his face.


    Today was the weekend, and they were still in bed chatting lovingly when she suddenly covered her mouth and got off the bed.


    Following her to the bathroom where he saw her wrenching her guts out, he sighed. He had to bend his back so he can pat her back.


    "Did your morning sickness decide toe around this time?" He asked as he continued hitting her back gently.


    Because she was throwing up, Jia Li couldn''t reply to him. It was after she finished, rinsed her mouth, and picked up her toothbrush that she replied.


    "It came without a warning."


    Fu Hua gazed at her and his frown deepened after he noticed her terrible she looked. "Are you sure we don''t need to go to the hospital?"


    "Because of this?" Jia Li asked while gesturing to her face. "Forget it. It''s going to be a long day today, so can you please help me get some meds from the hospital or pharmacy?"


    Jia Li knew the right medicine to take that will help her morning sickness, and instead of going to the hospital, it would be more responsible to get the drugs.


    "Okay, I will get the drugs for you," Fu Hua replied and joined her to brush his teeth. Without having his bath, he took his car key and left for the pharmacy.


    It was still early, but Jia Li wanted him to at least take his bath first, but he didn''t want to. He said that she was his concern right now and that he would only feel better if she was better.


    What more could Jia Li say. She let her doting husband leave the house without taking his bath and partaking in his usual morning exercise.


    Fu Hua was very quick. Within 20 minutes that id left the house, he returned with the drugs his wife requested for.


    "Don''t you need to est first before taking the drugs?" Fu Hua asked as he handed Jia Li a ss of water.


    Jia Li nces at him and said with a smile, "Trust me, this doesn''t need me to take food first." Only then did Fu Hua rx and watched her take the drugs.


    "When I have eaten, I will take the ones the doctor prescribed. I think that very soon, it will be difficult to kiss me." Jia Li said with a frown as she put the empty ss down.


    "Why do you say so?" Fu Hua asked with a small smile. He really wanted to know what his wife was thinking.


    Jia Li pointed at all the drugs surrounding her and said, "Look at the number of different drugs that are surrounding me. I have to take some of them in the morning, some at noon, and rest at night. There is no break at all. What do you think will happen after taking all these drugs?"


    Fu Hua chuckled heartily and pinched her cheeks. He really couldn''t stop himself fromughing at her, plus the fact that she looked so cute whileining.


    "Is it not being kissed your problem now?" Fu Hua asked, "No matter what you taste or smell like, I won''t stop kissing you." And Just like that, he leaned in to capture her lips with his mouth and gave her a fierce kiss.


    Jia Li had wanted to avoid him in time, but it was toote as he was faster than her.


    When they broke away from the kiss, Fu Hua wiped her hips and said, "See, it''s still fine to kiss you."


    "You really do not know that I am very hungry, and you just had to rob me of some breath that is sustaining me." Jia Li said with a frown.


    One of the signs of pregnancy is increased appetite, and coupled with the fact that she just threw up this morning, it wasn''t a surprise that she was already very hungry.


    "Don''t worry, Mother is bringing a bowl of soup for you." Fu Hua assured her with a smile.


    Jia Li jumped off the bed and said with a widened smile, "Are you serious? Mum is bringing me a bowl of soup? How do you know that?"


    "I met her when I was leaving to get the drugs for you. She said something about going to check the bone broth soup she was preparing for you." Fu Hua replied.


    Jia Li couldn''t help jumping up excitedly. Fu Hua had to remind her about saving her strength. "I won''t feed if you be too weak to do that yourself."


    "Stingy man!" Jia Li said as she went back to sit on the bed. Just then, Fu Hee knocked and opened the door.


    From the door, she was already smiling warmly at Jia Li. Making her way towards Jia Li, a servant pushed the food trolley behind her and went to serve the food on the table, along with a bowl of rice and two side dishes.


    "Mum, you didn''t have to do this." Jia Li said as she moved her gaze from the table back to Fu Hee who was holding her hands.


    Fu Hua said she was preparing soup for her, and she was already thankful enough that she got to put something in her stomach before it would be time to serve the main breakfast. But right now, she felt more than grateful for the soup and extra dishes.


    Jia Li hugged her mother-inw and thanked her. "Mum, thank you!"


    "This silly girl, what are you thanking me for? This is my duty to look out for you as your mother-inw, and the Mistress of this family." Fu Hee said with a smile she hugged her back.


    Fu Hua who was standing at the side said, "Mother, just let her thank you! Sheined that she was hungry after throwing up, so I told her you were boiling soup for her, and she became very excited."


    "Then I really have to think about you properly. There will be healthy midnight snacks from now onwards, and a special breakfast before the normal one with family." Fu Hee said with her gaze on Jia Li.

 Chapter 703 Jasmine learns about her younger sibling

    <h4>Chapter 703 Jasmine learns about her younger sibling</h4>


    Jia Li''s guess was right, today was not an easy day for her. The food her mother-inw brought for her was discarded after eating close to half of them.


    Her nose was overly sensitive, just like her taste buds. But Fu He''s looked happy that she was at least able to eat up to that quantity.


    "I knew you wouldn''t like something with a heavy taste, so I doubled the water for the bone brought soup, to make it as light as possible." Fu Hee said as she waved for the servant to carry the bowls away.


    "What kind of food would you like to eat next?" She asked her.


    "I need something that is a little spicy, it will help to stop me from wanting to throw up." Jia Li requested.


    "Okay. First, I will get you a good cup of tea." Fu Hee said as she patted her shoulder before getting up and leaving.


    Not long after Fu Hee left the room, Jia Li went to the bathroom to throw everything up. And it was at this time that Jasmine walked in with her father.


    "Daddy, where is mummy?" Jasmine asked as she looked all over the room searching for her mother.


    "Your mum?" Fu Hua asked with a slightly confused gaze before a thought came to his head, "Is she throwing up again?" As he said that, he took the little girl''s hand and asked her toe with him.


    "I know where your mother might be."


    In the bathroom, Jia Li was still throwing up when the father and daughter walked in. Because her head was buried in the toilet seat, she didn''t know that her little girl was present as well.


    Jasmine saw her mother in that state and asked in shock, "Daddy, what is wrong with mummy? Is she sick?"


    "Yes, your mummy is sick, let''s help her out." Fu Hua said as he got down to pat Jia Li''s back, and the little bun followed suit.


    When Jia Li heard Jasmine''s voice and wanted to raise her head, Fu Hua forced it back.


    "Your daughter is not running away, finish first." He said in a gentle tone. Atst, Jia Li finished and raised her head. She didn''t look any better than before.


    "Hey, Baby." Jia Li said with tired eyes.


    "Mummy, daddy said you are sick, let''s go to the hospital," Jasmine said with a worried gaze.


    "Jasmine, I am sick, but it''s not that kind of sickness." Jia Li said as Fu Hua helped her up, so she could cleanse her mouth.


    Jasmine was curious as to what her mother meant, and so, she continued asking different questions until she got the truth.


    "Princess, your mummy is pregnant. She is carrying another baby in her stomach." Fu Hua replied as he lifted her in his arms and took her into the bedroom, as Jia Li led the way.


    Of course, Jasmine didn''t understand fully, so Fu Hua had to further exin that she was going to get a sibling. And with time, her mummy''s stomach would grow big, before her siblinges out.


    Contrary to their expectations, the little girl was very happy. She couldn''t help asking how long she had to wait for her sibling toe out after getting excited.


    The mother and daughter remained standing while


    "Not too long, but we all have to wait patiently until your younger sibling grows into a healthy baby before it cane out." Jia Li exined while gesturing with her hands to show her how big her stomach had to get.


    "Am I getting a sister or a brother?" Jasmine asked with an excited gaze on her mother.


    "Hmm... we don''t know yet, but we will find out very soon." Jia Li replied as she rubbed the little girl''s head.


    Jasmine looked at her mother and made her make a promise. "Mummy, you have to tell me when you find out, okay?"


    "Okay!" Jia Li said in agreement.


    Fu Hua was happy with the little girl''s reaction and couldn''t help throwing her up to the roof and catching her again as she erupted inughter.


    Since they were preparing to have another child, Jia Li and Fu Hua were teaching their daughter to be weing to the child, because most children do not want a younger sibling, and would be jealous if they felt their ce would be threatened.


    Although they were intentionally trying to change Jasmine''s mindset, they didn''t know if it would work, but seeing that it worked, they sighed in relief as there was nothing to be worried about now.


    They only have to continue to throw a more positive light on her younger sibling, like teaching her stuff and telling her stories.


    When Fu Hee can''t back with the cup of special hot tea she had prepared for Jia Li, Jasmine ran to her grandmother and greeted her, before jumping right to the reason she was excited.


    "Grandma, my Mummy is pregnant!" Jasmine said with much enthusiasm while pointing at her mother.


    Fu Hee could guess that the young parents had just broken the news to their girl, and she smiled and said to her granddaughter, "Really?"


    "Yes!" Jasmine responded and jumped joyfully.


    "Da Xia, this is good news! We are going to tell your great grandfather about it, and he will surely gift you something as you are going to be a big sister." Fu Hee said to the little girl after giving the cup of tea to Jia Li who thanked her before taking a few sips from it.


    "Great-grandpa will give me gifts?!" Jasmine asked as her eyes shown brightly. The little girl loved gifts. She had a lot of them, but that didn''t stop her from wanting more.


    Fu Hee took the little girl and went away, leaving Jia Li to enjoy her tea.


    "How is it, do you feel better now?" Fu Hua asked.


    Jia Li nodded, "I love this tea, it''s a little spicy but very soothing to the nerves. I have to enjoy this tea while itsts."


    "I guess that this will help you a lot today." Fu Hua said.


    "I hope so," Came Jia Li''s reply.

 Chapter 704 Fu Juan’s intention

    <h4>Chapter 704 Fu Juan''s intention</h4>


    It''s been a few days since Fu Juan has been getting divorce papers from her husband and hiswyer. It''s almost like she was being assaulted with it.


    During breakfast, she would get her morning papers along with a big brown envelope containing the divorce papers. This happened for three days straight, so she stopped her subscription to the morning papers.


    Whenever she came home from work in the evening, she would see the same size of the brown envelope on her bed, or in the closet, and she didn''t need to think twice or ask questions to know that her husband was the one behind it.


    If she doesn''t see the envelope containing the divorce papers anywhere in her bedroom, she wouldn''t get too happy because surely, it will be somewhere else in the house which she has daily ess to.


    The previous day, she saw the divorce papers on the dining table. This time around, there was no envelope, and it was just bare like that. She had thought it was an important document, only to pick it up and discover that it was the divorce papers.


    She quickly lost her appetite that night, and she didn''t forget to shred it like the way she has been doing to the previous ones.


    She doesn''t want to sign the divorce papers she continued to shred them each time she set her eyes on them.


    Today, was a different case, and probably the height of it. Fu Juan had just closed from work and went to the underground parking lot. As she sighted her car and walked towards it, she saw a brown envelope, glued to her using a seal tape.


    She looked shocked to see it there. Immediately, she ripped the envelope off her car and opened it to nce at its contents. The divorce papers, were back again, in a grandeur style.


    Fu Juanughed in anger before getting into her car with the envelope. Throwing her bag and the envelope into the back seat of her car, she punched her steering wheel.


    It has be obvious to her, that her husband was not afraid of the consequences of his adultery while being married to her. He didn''t care what thew would do and how they will make him pay. He wanted a divorce from Fu Juan to fully embrace his new family, but it looks like he had to think out of the box in other for her to sign the divorce papers, hence, the harassment with the divorce papers.


    Fu Juan still was not willing to give him any divorce, but she was tired of his harassment. She couldn''t report him to the police, or the case would get big, and signing the divorce papers wouldn''t be far-fetched.


    Not wanting to grant him a divorce and tired of his harassment, Fu Juan thought of a n and smiled to herself. The smile quickly cleared up her head and anger.


    When she got back home, She didn''t wait to change her clothes before making a call to a familiar contact with whom she hasn''t spoken in a while.


    Grandfather Fu was in his study when he got a call from his daughter, and the first thought that came to his head was what kind ofints she had to give him because she can never call to check up on him, unless she wanted something or toin, which has been a long time since shest did that.


    After greeting her aged father, Fu Juan went straight to the point. "Father, I thought to let you know that I will being home this weekend to stay for a while."


    Grandfather Fu didn''t ask her any questions and just agreed to it, because he already knew that she must have had a fight with her husband and wanted to escape for a while.


    After the call ended, the old man turned to his butler to ask, "How is the rtionship between Juan and her husband?"


    "Sir, you asked me not to bother about her anymore, so I haven''t been keeping an eye on them. But I can get you the information in an hour." Butler Li said to him.


    "Leave it. She will being this weekend, and then I will find out the matter." Grandfather Fu said and went back to his work.


    He had forgotten that he asked Butler Li not to bother about Fu Juan anymore since she doesn''t listen and had also rejected his assistance back then.


    As for Fu Juan, she immediately dialed another contact after the call with her father, which happened to be the same person she spoke with after herst fight with her husband. And this time around, she called out her name...


    "Lanying, it''s time to officially introduce you to my family. We are going to the Fu house this weekend to live temporarily so, if you need help with packing your things, I will send over two servants that will assist you."


    The person on the other side must have rejected her help because the next moment, Fu Juan reminded her to call her if she needed help.


    "Let''s see where you send the divorce papers to..." Fu Juan said to herself.


    That night, she called all the servants and cautioned them. She told them that she was going to somece to stay for some days, and they shouldn''t say anything to her husband unless he asked about her location.


    There was no way Fu Juan was going to give the servants more information other than the fact that she was going to stay away for some days so that if her husband asked, they wouldn''t have much information to give to him.


    During dinner at the Fu house, Grandfather Fu announced that Fu Juan would being over that weekend. He also asked Fu Hee to get the servants to clean her bedroom.


    This kind of announcement was a big surprise to the family because Fu Juan has ever acted this way before, and she onlyes over when there is an asion or celebration in the family. Apart from that, she doesn''te home to stay without anything important going on in the family.

 Chapter 705 Their marriage history

    <h4>Chapter 705 Their marriage history</h4>


    "Has she finally decided to end things with her husband?" Meixu asked after swallowing the food in her mouth.


    "Surely she didn''t mention that part." Fu ChuHua replied on behalf of grandfather Fu.


    "Grandpa, how long will she be staying?" FangSu asked with an interested gaze.


    Grandfather Fu who had paused with his food replied, "She said she would be staying for a while, so I don''t know how long that will be."


    YingPei sighed and said, "That''s a long time."


    Fu Juan''s rtionship with her husband was not anything new to the members of the Fu family, and even Jia Li hase to understand that, including what kind of person Fu Juan was.


    Fu Juan was always making things awkward in the family because of her rtionship with her husband. She doesn''t listen to any advice and does things her own way. She doesn''t wee any opinion about her marriage and hates it when that topic is brought up.


    She made it difficult to intervene and help her out in her marriage, and so, her rtionship with the rest of the family was awkward.


    As long as she doesn''t stay for a long time, maybe a week at most, there would be no problem in the family. But now that she made mention ofing back to stay for a while, surely, there would be drama in the family once again.


    Fu Juan was controlling and authoritative, which everyone in the family knew about. Now that she has serious issues with her husband, she would surely vent her emotions and act willfully when shees over.


    FangSu turned to her mother to say, "Mum, you are going to have a hard time pleasing her, good luck."


    "No one is pleasing anybody. Give her the normal treatment since she is a daughter of this family. And if she gets too demanding, I will speak sense into her. She is already married and has no right toe here to cause trouble." Fu Lei said.


    "Fu Hee, as the mistress of this family, your job is indeed tasking." Fu ChuHua said.


    Finally, Grandfather Fu said, "I will speak to Juan once she arrives. She wouldn''t want to be chased back to her house for disrupting the peace here."


    Grandfather Fu sounded determined while saying that. He had once made a statement before every member of the Fu family.


    He had said that Fu Hua or his father, Fu Lei, were not difficult to handle, only Fu Juan was. Her stubbornness had another degree added to it. She was the only Fu member out of control, which made the old man sometimes wonder if he and histe wife had missed a step while raising her.


    All these while Fu Juan was married out, the Fu family had forgotten her true character, but now that she wasing back to stay with them for a while, they were beginning to remember her true character.


    When Jia Li and Fu Hua returned to their bedroom, she former couldn''t help but ask about Fu Juan''s rtionship. She didn''t know the full gist of the story, and this was the first time she was probing into the matter.


    Fu Hua knew she was curious, and as a member of the Fu family, she had every right to know about it, so he opened up to her.


    He told her of how his Aunt got married to her current husband despite his grandfather''s detection back then.


    Fu Hua went on to say that his grandfather knew the kind of person his aunt was, and warned her against her rtionship, but she refused to listen, so he let her be.


    Things started to go south when Fu Juan couldn''t conceive, after 7 years of marriage, and she had rejected her husband''s opinion of them adopting a child.


    What made matters worse, was after Fu Juan agreed to the adoption 5 yearster, her husband refused to ept it, and had said that he was no longer interested.


    Fu Juan was angry and had even left home back then, butter she came back to the house, only to find out that her husband has been having an affair.


    It took some time, for her to discover that there were two children already in the rtionship between him and the other woman. Fu Juan made a lot of trouble back then for her husband but chose to keep it from her family.


    When Grandfather Fu found out about it, he had wanted Fu Juan to end things with her husband, but she refused to listen. She continued to stay in the marriage and rejected their help.


    Fu Hua also revealed that since then, his aunts'' marriage has been on the rocks, and whatever that was going on, they didn''t know about it, because Fu Juan chose to remain mute and handle it herself.


    "Since their rtionship is so bad, why are they still together? I mean, there is no love or peace, why won''t they let each other go?" Jia Li asked with a deep frown.


    "This is something that I have no idea about, but I feel that my Aunt is the one refusing to let go. Given her personality, this must be her way of revenge. If she grants him a divorce, then he would go on to get married to the mother of his children, while she leaves the marriage with only money as apensation for her loss." Fu Hua replied.


    He had to dissect the matter in his head, in other to give a close answer.


    Jia Li really couldn''t understand Fu Juan and the way she thought. She thought that at the end of the day, Fu Juan would still be the one to lose because her husband''s heart was in the hands of another woman, and he already had another family he was satisfied with, while she, had nothing money and power.


    "Who do you think is to me for their marriage crashing?" Jia Li asked with her gaze on her husband.


    Fu Hua sat on the couch and crossed his legs. "Both parties are to me. My Aunt is also at fault, although, it''s been several years since her husbandined about her attitude problem."

 Chapter 706 Unannounced new family member

    <h4>Chapter 706 Unannounced new family member</h4>


    "What''s with her attitude?" Jia Li asked.


    Fu Hua smiled and said, "She has this kind of attitude that is capable of crushing a man''s ego, especially men with her husband''s background and personality."


    Jia Li nodded as she came to understand the gist. She already knew that Fu Juan''s husband didn''te from a wealthy family like the Fu''s.


    And that was also one of the main reasons Grandfather Fu didn''t want his daughter to get married to him. He was not discriminating, but he had made that choice after studying the two of them.


    He knew his daughter very well, and also from the family background of her husband to be (at that time) their marriage would be filled with ups and downs, and wouldn''tst.


    Grandfather Fu was sure that his daughter''s attitude would one day crush her husband''s pride, and that would lead to fights. That was the reason he wanted her to get married to a man of their ss, so the man wouldn''t be a push-over.


    The day before Fu Juan was toe over, YingPei left the country after taking permission from work, directly from Fu Hua.


    He was going to support his girlfriend, Daiyu in herst Swimming tournament. So, it was going to be her final match after which she would retire and start her own training center.


    As her boyfriend, he went there to give her all the support she would need, and this is going to be the first time he would watch herpete.


    His Aunt''sing was not important, so he took an afternoon flight.


    Jia Li, on the other hand, gave him a message to pass to Daiyu, although she had already spoken to her on phone, to give her moral support.


    No one asked YingPei how long he was going to be away. In fact, they were all very happy that he was serious with his current rtionship and willing to give everything he had for it.


    The next day, which was the weekend, most of the family members were around, especially for those who didn''t have anything to do outside.


    Someone like FangSu went out to have fun. Meixu also was not left behind. She had a fiance now, so she couldn''t sit at home in preparation for her Aunt''sing.


    In an actual sense, it''s not like she was a visitor, so they didn''t need to be home to wee her.


    As for Jia Li and Fu Hua, they spent their time at home helping their daughter with her homework, before going into the workshop to work on the pieces of materials Jia Li needed for her next collection which would beunching soon.


    Around 4 pm, they got dressed and left with Jasmine for the children''s park. The family of three had a good time at the park, but it was almost difficult keeping up with Jasmine''s energy.


    She pointed at a lot of things she wanted to ride, but Jia Li didn''t join her in all of them, because de would get dizzy from the spinning. She was pregnant and watching out for herself.


    So, Fu Hua made sure that Jia Li was in a safe area, before taking those dizzy rides with his little princess.


    At the end of the day, the little girl was very happy and enjoyed some snacks, such as ice cream, cotton candy, pizza, and some pies.


    Before going back home, Jasmine said she was very hungry and couldn''t wait for dinner, so Fu Hua drive them to a fine diner. Especially because of Jia Li who needed to feed well.


    Snacks were not enough to supply her with the daily nutrient she needed for herself and the baby.


    As for Fu Ling, he found where to be, and that was in hispany. He hated drama and liked to stay away from it. And at the end of the day when he finished working, he went to the restaurant Xin was working at, to eat.


    In the evening, before the young generation coulde back home, Fu Juan arrived. Since they were expectant of her visit, two servants hung around to help her with her luggage any time she wasing.


    To the surprise of the servants who went to help her get her luggage from the car, they saw a youngerdy stepping out of the car as well.


    This was so unexpected for them since they were not informed about it, but they managed to contain their surprise and help the two women with their luggage.


    Fu Hee was checking out the meals being prepared for dinner when a servant came to notify her of a younger woman in Fu Juan''spany.


    "How could she bring someone else without informing anybody?" Fu Hee said with furrowed brows.


    As she was leaving the kitchen, she met Fu ChuHua who asked her what she was pissed about, and she narrated her reason.


    Fu ChuHua was also taken by surprise. "Why didn''t she say anything about it before? Who is the youngdy, her assistant or what?"


    It would be normal for Fu Juan to notify the family that she wasing with somebody even if she is a daughter of the family. It was courtesy, but she chose to hide that fact. There was no way she would have forgotten that fact.


    "Today is the first day and she is already acting like this. She should have told father about this, then we can prepare another room." Fu Hee said as she continued in her step.


    "It looks like Fu Juan needs to be reminded of the rules in this family again. Father or you, being the mistress of the house, should be notified of any none family membering over. And normally, father should be the one to approve of it, but no, with Fu Juan, the case is different. I just hope that father would talk to her like he said." Fu ChuHua said.


    "Let''s go and meet her, and see who the youngdy she came with, is." Fu Hee said to her.

 Chapter 707 Fu Juan’s adoptive daughter

    <h4>Chapter 707 Fu Juan''s adoptive daughter</h4>


    Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua met Fu Juan and the younger woman at the entrance. There was a bit of smile on the two women''s faces. As for Fu Juan, she had a straight gaze on them as she said a word of greeting.


    As for the young woman beside her, she was all smiles while gazing at Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua. There was no atom of fear on her face which was weird for someone who was stepping foot into the Fu Mansion and seeing some members of the Fu family, that was not normal.


    Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua returned Fu Juan''s greeting with the same vibe she gave off, while the servants bringing their luggage inside, paused and had to wait for Fu Hee''s order.


    Since there were two pieces of luggage now, and they didn''t know which belonged to Fu Juan, they had to wait for further instructions, so they stood at one side with their heads bowed.


    "Juan, wee. We were expecting only you since you good father that, but it looks like you havepany." Fu Hee said with a smile that was not a smile, and Fu Juan seemed to guess her annoyance after catching a glimpse of her gaze.


    A smile slowly appeared on Fu Juan''s face as she first apologized. "I''m sorry for not informing you that I would being with someone, but ouring here was rushed, so I left that information out by mistake."


    Fu Her and Fu ChuHua knew that she was lying from her facial expression, but they could not point that out. They could only continue gazing at her quietly.


    Not expecting them to respond, Fu Juan turned to the young woman beside her, took her hand lovingly, and introduced them to her.


    "This is my daughter, my adoptive daughter, Lanying."


    Immediately she introduced the younger woman beside her as her daughter, Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua were lost. What she was saying to them, didn''t make sense anymore.


    Seeing their shocked gazes, Fu Juan smiled and said, "I know you two are shocked, but I have my reasons for keeping this a secret. First of all, we will need to settle in first, get some rest, freshen up and eat first before we can talk about anything."


    "Juan, are you serious, or are you ying tricks on us? When did you adopt a child without telling us?" Fu ChuHua asked.


    "I don''t need to notify anybody before doing what I want." Fu Juan said to her, before turning to Lanying to introduce her to them.


    "Lanying, this is the Mistress of the Fu family, Fu Hee. And this is Fu ChuHua, the second daughter-inw of the Fu family. During dinner, when everyone has gathered, I will introduce them to your properly." Fu Juan said while pointing at Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua.


    Lanying in turn smiled, bowed, and greeted Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua, but there was no response from them.


    Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua felt insulted because of Fu Juan''s attitude, and the way she introduced them to her adoptive daughter. The two women were beyond speechless and coupled with the anger they felt in their hearts.


    Fu Juan was unmoved by their emotions, and instead, turned to the servants and asked them to take her things to her bedroom, before turning back to ask Fu Hee which room Lanying''s things will be taken to.


    The servants dared not move an inch without Fu Hee''s approval, so even after Fu Juan has given amand, no step was taken.


    Fu Hee after being disrespected, dropped herst act of rtionship with Fu Juan, and said to her inly, "Juan, you didn''t inform anyone that you would being with someone, so no extra room was prepared. For now, you would have to share a room with your adoptive daughter, which would not be a problem, till another room is arranged for her."


    Fu ChuHua felt ddened in her heart with Fu Hee''s attitude and response. Since their so-called sister-inw did not give them any respect, she shouldn''t expect to be given one.


    Fu Juan smiled and said, "There is no problem with sharing a room with my daughter. But how long will it take to get a room ready for her?"


    "I will tell you once it''s ready." Fu Hee replied and waved to the servants to take their belongings to the bedroom that was prepared for Fu Juan, before walking away.


    Fu ChuHua smiled at Fu Juan, before following after Fu Hee who didn''t forget to show how annoyed she was.


    With no choice left, Fu Juan took Lanying''s hand and followed after the servants.


    Lanying didn''t look like an adoptive daughter, given how old she looked. She was a young woman of FangSu''s age. And the irony here was, why did Fu Juan choose to adopt an adult girl? And how long it''s been since she adopted her.


    Lanying had average looks like Jia Li, but Jia Li was still more beautiful than her, after being well taken care of by Fu Hua and the Fu family for 6-7 years now.


    "Mum, is the family unhappy that you brought me here?" Lanying asked Fu Juan on their way to their bedroom.


    "That wouldn''t be out of the contest, and my father shouldn''t be any different. Once we are done freshening up, we are going to meet my father, so I can introduce him to you formerly." Fu Juan said.


    She wouldn''t be surprised if the entire family members get angry at her for concealing this huge information from them, but she didn''t care, because she felt that she didn''t owe any of them anything.


    She didn''t need to notify them before taking a step nor did she need their permission before doing anything. They should be able to take whatever she gives to them.


    Fu Hee was already fuming by the time they got to the inner sitting room. "Because she is a daughter of this family, she thinks she can disrespect us and act as she pleases?"


    "I have never been more speechless in my life than today. Fu Juan is really something else!" Fu ChuHua admitted.

 Chapter 708 Denial

    <h4>Chapter 708 Denial</h4>


    After settling down in their room, Fu Juan said to Lanying while the servants arranged their things in the walk-in closet, "Make yourself at home."


    "Am I really free to do that?" Lanying asked with a wild smile.


    "Of course, this is my house, and although I am married out, I still have full rights here. Since I adopted you, you are my daughter, so make yourself at home." Fu Juan assured her with a smile.


    Now, there was a half-smile remaining on Lanying''s face, but then she asked, "You said you are going to introduce me to your father..."


    At her reminder, Fu Juan got up from the bed and said to her, "Thanks for reminding me. It looks like my two sisters-inw are angry, so why don''t we go curry favor with my old man, otherwise he would also be angry with me for not introducing you immediately we came in.".


    Lanying was more than happy to see the head of the Fu family. She has heard so much about him, and couldn''t wait to meet him. Now, he was her grandfather, and she wished to win his favor.


    Fu Juan took Lanying''s hand, and they both left for Grandfather Fu''s study, without knowing that he already had an idea about them.


    When Fu Juan hade in with Lanying, Butler Li got the news and went straight to report it to the old man.


    Grandfather Fu was indeed surprised by thetest happenings. His daughter adopted a grown-up young woman without letting them know, and now she brings her over without their knowledge.


    "What does she take this ce for?" Grandfather Fu said with furrowed brows as the unhappiness on his face could be seen clearly.


    Butler Li didn''t respond to him, because he couldn''t answer that question, so he remained mute until he was asked to leave.


    He knew clearly that the old man was angry with his daughter''s actions and didn''t want to talk about it, but only for now.


    "She just arrived today, and she has already started to challenge my authority and the family''s rules." Grandfather Fu said to himself.


    When Fu Juan and Lanying got to the door of grandfather Fu''s study, they met Butler Li. After Butler Li bowed slightly to Fu Juan with a straight face, Fu Juan smiled and introduced him to her Lanying.


    "Butler Li, this is my adoptive daughter, Lanying. Lanying, this is my father''s butler, and he has been serving him for years now."


    Lanying bowed and greeted Butler Li cheerfully, but sue only received a nce and a nod from him. This little action didn''t go unnoticed by Fu Juan, but she didn''t talk about it.


    Fixing her smiling gaze back to him, she asked if her father was in his study, and he nodded.


    "Good, because I want to see him, and also introduce my daughter who is a part of this family, to him."


    Butler Li put his arm forward and blocked them from making an entrance. "I''m sorry, but your adoptive daughter can not enter Master''s study."


    Fu Juan was annoyed by the ess denial and exined that Lanying was not an outsider who couldn''t walk into her grandfather''s study, but that sentence caused Butler Li''s facial expression to be stern.


    As he nced at her, he said, "From the history of this rtionship, your adoptive daughter is still an outsider because you have never introduced her to Master before. With this alone, she can not go in with you, she has to wait here, but if master approves of her presence, even I wouldn''t dare you to hold her back."


    Fu Juan is speechless and at the same time, annoyed that her daughter was referred to as an outsider. But what choice did she have? None!


    She had no choice but to ask Lanying to wait for her outside, while she goes in first. Lanying was disappointed because she really wanted to see the old man, but she still had to ept her fate.


    She faked a smile and told Fu Juan to go in, that she would be fine by herself.


    When Fu Juan went in, Butler Li fixed his scrutinizing gaze on Lanying who looked ufortable and was forced to look away.


    When Fu Juan got into the study, she smiled faintly as she saw her aged father and went to sit on the chair at his table. She greeted him and asked how he was doing.


    Instead of replying to her questions, grandfather Fu closed the document on his table and said to her, "I heard that you came here with a young woman."


    Immediately, a smile blossomed on Fu Juan''s face as she felt that her old man was interested in her daughter.


    "Yes, I came here with my adoptive daughter, Lanying. I had wanted to bring her in so you can see her, but your butler didn''t let here in." Fu Juanined.


    Grandfather Fu cut in immediately without letting her finish her words, "Who did you tell that you adopted an adult, and was bringing her over? Have you forgotten your basic manners?"


    "Why is everybody against me today? I have already had a fair share of Hee ChuHua''s attitude. Am I no longer free to live my life the way I want?" Fu Juan said with an annoyed gaze.


    "You are free, but once you are in my house, you should follow the rules and act like someone who was raised well! Is this the kind of attitude you give to your husband, even outsiders?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    There was a 3 seconds silence before Fu Juan set her pride aside to apologize. "Fine! I''m sorry for not following the family rules."


    Grandfather Fu looked more dissatisfied with her attitude and said, "We need to talk about this particr issue some other time, you can leave."


    "What about my daughter, can shee in now?" Fu Juan asked with an anticipated gaze. She looked like she couldn''t wait to show off her adoptive daughter.


    "I will see her during dinner. Also, let me warn you. Your adoptive daughter has nothing to do with the Fu family until you exin certain things to us. Now, you can leave." Grandfather Fu said and picked up the document before him.

 Chapter 709 Rejection

    <h4>Chapter 709 Rejection</h4>


    Fu Juan came out of her father''s study, looking moodier than before.


    Butler Li and Lanying could guess that all did not go well, given how she did not fail to hide her facial expression.


    "Lanying, let''s go!" Fu Juan took Lanying''s hand and stormed off with her. When they got to their bedroom, Lanying tried to probe by asking questions, but Fu Juan chose not to give a straight reply.


    "It looks like everyone is angry that I failed to tell them about you before today. Don''t worry, I will settle this matter myself, you don''t have to worry about it." Fu Juan said to her.


    She was still unhappy with her family''s reaction to her choice of life. She believed that they were being petty as she didn''t have to exin her life to them before they can understand her.


    While Fu Juan and her daughter were resting, the youngsters of the Fu family returned from their various locations, only to learn about a certain young man whom their Aunt brought over and introduced as her adoptive daughter.


    Fu Hua didn''t say anything and took Jia Li''s hand to leave while holding his sleeping daughter in his other arm.


    As for Fu Ling, he acted like Fu Hua, as if the matter didn''t concern him. It was only FangSu and Meixu who reacted to the breaking news.


    "What''s wrong with Aunt, does she think this ce is where she can bring anybody?" Meixu said and walked away.


    "Aunty Juan is really something else. She does what she wants to do, and then runs back to us." FangSu said in an annoyed tone.


    At the dinner table, the whole family assembled. Fu Lei and Fu Geming who had gone out for a meeting were on time to join the rest of the family for dinner.


    By the time Fu Juan and her daughter came down for dinner, everybody was already sitting. Everyone''s gaze was on them as they made their way towards them.


    On getting to FangSu''s side, Fu Juan nced around before returning her gaze to FangSu and said, "FangSu, is alright that you and your cousins didn''te to wee me, but now that you know I am back, you should know that this is my sitting position."


    Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua scoffed and looked away, while Lanying watched obediently from the side. As for the rest of the family, they were surprised by Fu Juan''s attitude.


    FangSu smiled and didn''t look angry, instead, she said, "Aunty, you are wrong. Your sitting position used to be exactly where my sister-inw is sitting, and if you really want to reim your position, you can ask my brother and his family to move to another seat, while you upy that one, with thedy beside you."


    FangSu''s reply was perfect. She neither raised her tone nor acted disrespectfully towards her. She just gave her a rope to drag Fu Hua and Jia Li away from her sitting position if she could.


    How could Fu Juan dare to do that, and the res directed at her by the rest of the family? It was joy possible, so she took Laying''s hand and went to sit on the empty seats opposite grandfather Fu.


    Fu Juan sat directly opposite her father, while Lanying sat on YingPei''s sitting position, but nobody said anything to her. It would be unreasonable to chase her away when YingPei was absent.


    After taking a seat, Fu Juan nced around and finally realized that YingPei was absent. "It looks like YingPei is absent, but I will still introduce my daughter to you first."


    Then she smiled a little and introduced then to Lanying. "Everyone meet my adoptive daughter, Lanying. Laying, meet my family. Although one of your cousins is absent, you will meet him when he returns."


    Lanying dared not smile because of how cold the atmosphere was. She could feel the tension in the air, but she still had to greet and introduce herself. There was no response from anyone, which was not so surprising.


    Fu Juan Benton to say, "I will introduce them one after the other so you can greet them properly after dinner. The man sitting on the head seat is my father. He is the Head of the entire Fu family. I told you before that he served in the..."


    There was a sudden silence after Fu Lei just hit his hand on the table in anger. Fu Juan flinched in shock as she didn''t expect to be interrupted that way.


    "Brother!" She called out with visible annoyance on her face.


    "Why are you calling him? On what grounds should you be introducing us to that youngdy beside you? Shouldn''t you have acted sensibly by eating silently and getting out of our sight!" Fu Gemingshed out angrily.


    He too has been holding his anger from the onset, but his Sister''s provocation was too much to bear, and he couldn''t helpshing out at her.


    "Seriously, this treatment is unfair, can''t we talk about it after a peaceful dinner?" Fu Juan requested. She has seen how angry her brothers were, and she didn''t dare to continue with her tactics.


    "You are the one threatening to bring disorder." Grandfather Fu spoke calmly.


    Lanying felt very bad within her and bowed her head as her eyes became teary. She felt humiliated by the Fu family''s treatment on her, and her mother, and couldn''t help but break down in tears.


    Fu Juan felt something prick her heart, and she couldn''t help trying tofort her daughter, Lanying ended up apologizing and trying to walk away, but instead, she got scolded by Fu Hee.


    "Hey! Where do you think you are going to? How dare you walk out on us?!"


    Lanying paused in her steps, apologized and went back to her seat, and tried to wipe her never-ending tears.


    Fu Juan couldn''t sit tight and watch her daughter cry, so she protested immediately. She fumed and said to Fu Fee, "Is my daughter not allowed to vent her emotions? How could you be so mean to her?!"


    Fu ChuHua scoffed and said, "If walking out on us is a way she can vent her emotion, she is free to do that but not in this house, and this family."

 Chapter 710 The Defense

    <h4>Chapter 710 The Defense</h4>


    Atst, Fu Juan didn''t dare to make anotherment and concentrated onforting her daughter.


    Because the facial expressions of the rest of the family were not good, Lanying forced herself to stop crying, and start eating the good that was served to her.


    Although their appetite was ruined because of the mother and daughter''s drama, that didn''t stop turn from eating.


    All through this drama, Jasmine was staring curiously at everyone, and when she wanted to talk, Jia Li shushed her and sent a piece of braised pork into her mouth.


    Fu Juan has seen nobody was going to support her, so she had no choice but to ask Jia Li for help immediately after dinner.


    She was the first to finish eating, and after she wiped her lips with the napkin, she fixed a smiling gaze on Jia Li and said to her, "Jia Li, I have a favor to as of you. Please be on the lookout for my daughter, she is new here, and naive like you."


    When she had called Jia Li''s name, all the members of the family turned to nce at her, to know what else she was up to.


    After those words left her lips, there were death res directed at her from all corners of the dining room.


    Fu Juan didn''t get the chance to breathe, and the rest of the family didn''t get the chance to berate her for her demand when Fu Hee beat them to it.


    Fu Hee immediately fired up at Fu Juan, leaving all her manners and respect aside.


    "Since when did my daughter-inw turn into a caregiver for your daughter?"


    Immediately, Fu ChuHua chipped in, "Does Jia Li look like she is idle? You want a married woman who is busy with her husband, child, and work to look after your daughter, how inconsiderate can you get?!"


    "Do you think you can show up suddenly with an adult without notice, and then ask for us to take care of her?" Fu Lei said angrily with a death re directed at her.


    "Juan, you are very rude, and you owe all of us an apology before giving us a big exnation for all of this mess!" Fu Geming said.


    Lastly, Fu Hua spoke with visible anger on his face, "Aunt, my wife is not a servant, if you need one, you know where to hire them. And I would prefer you don''t involve my family with your matter."


    Fu Juan had wanted to ask why everyone was firing up at her, after asking for help nicely, but her daughter stopped her from speaking.


    Lanying guessed that if her mother continued to make trouble, they would be thrown out of the house the next day, so she had to stop her from speaking.


    Fu Juan felt discriminated, against and left the dining area after that. Lanying did notg behind either, she immediately followed after her mother.


    Grandfather Fu sighed and turned to Jia Li to say, "Li girl, ignore my daughter and the youngdy she brought with her. She failed to handle things in her marriage, and now she hase here to vent her frustration on everybody. But don''t worry, I will take care of it tomorrow."


    Jia Li nodded, and as she was trying to get off her seat, her father-inw spoke to her. He was still angry, so his tone wasn''t gentle.


    "Jia Li, if Juan ever makes trouble for you, report her immediately. Everybody here is ready to attack her and send her away, but she might take advantage of your meekness to cause trouble."


    What Fu Lei said was true. Who else in that family was scared of offending Fu Juan if not for her? So, Fu Lei was giving his daughter-inw your best advice.


    "You don''t even need to report her, you can go ahead and fire back like all of us. If she gets insulted, she really asked for it." Fu Hee said with an ugly facial expression.


    Nobody will ever be happy with anyone that dares to disrespect them and challenge their authority.


    Jia Li epted their goodwill before leaving with Fu Hua and Jasmine.


    As they took the stairs, Jasmine who wanted to walk by herself, asked, "Daddy, why was everyone angry?"


    "Grandaunt did wrong, so everyone is unhappy with her." Fu Hua replied simply.


    "Did grandaunt apologize?" Jasmine asked. curiously.


    "No, not yet." Fu Hua replied and distracted her immediately, otherwise, she would go on to ask more questions he wouldn''t know how to reply to her.


    "Princess, do you want to spend the night with your mum and me?"


    "Yes! I would love it more if the baby mummy is carrying wille out quickly!" Jasmine said excitedly.


    Jia Li chuckled and rubbed her head gently, "Don''t worry, soon, you will meet your sibling."


    That night, Jia Li bath Jasmine, while Fu Hua got her ready, and in the next few minutes, they were alreadyying on the spacious bed.


    Fu Hua had a bedtime story in his hands and went on to read it to the active little girl who looked like she didn''t have any ns of turning into bed on time.


    Back In Fu Juan''s bedroom, quietness was long gone. When Fu Juan went to have her shower, Lanying started crying and even cried herself to sleep after Fu Juan failed tofort her when she returned to the bedroom.


    Watching her daughter whom she loved, treated like a nobody in her own father''s house (Fu Juan''s father''s house), a fire burned in her heart.


    Back in Jia Li and Fu Hua''s bedroom, when their little girl finally fell asleep, they both had a chance to speak to each other.


    Fu Hua told Jia Li never to bother about his aunt and the young woman she came to the house with. He also told her not to be too kind, and to do things rationally, and not emotionally, otherwise, she would be seen as a pushover.


    It wouldn''t matter if he and the rest of the family would be there to protect her, but if she couldn''t stand on her own, it would be very easy to bully her.

 Chapter 711 Her position as the family’s mistress

    <h4>Chapter 711 Her position as the family''s mistress</h4>


    Moving from Fu Juan''s topic, Jia Li talked about the important project she had at hand. She had ordered over a thousand Swarovski crystals, and they were already being shipped down to the country.


    Fu Hua heard that and asked, "Why didn''t you ship them through flight since you are working with time?"


    "Flight would have been very expensive, and I''m trying to save cost for thepany." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    "You are right, but during emergency periods, we don''t worry about costs, but about meeting the deadlines." Fu Hua told her.


    For such a bigpany as FJ Styles, cost should be their list worry.


    "It''s okay, but thanks for reminding me. The ship should be here in 5 days." Jia Li informed him.


    While this husband and wife were chatting, the older couples couldn''t sleep, as they were very annoyed with Fu Juan and her attitude.


    Fu ChuHua said to her husband, "How long is your sister going to stay that she is already making everybody ufortable, is she leaving tomorrow?"


    Fu ChuHua refused to believe that Fu Juan had ns of staying with them for a long time, otherwise, why would she start now to cause trouble? Did she n on giving all of them high blood pressure?


    "I don''t know how long she is going to stay, but we will all find out tomorrow. She used to be on the quiet side although she was troublesome. I don''t know what came over that made her want to trample on everybody." Fu Geming replied.


    Fu ChuHua scoffed and said, "Maybe it''s because she can no longer control her husband, so she came here to exert her authority."


    In Fu Hee and Fu Lei''s bedroom, Fu Hee seemed to be the only one angry, but a clear view of Fu Lei''s facial expression showed that he was very angry.


    As a soldier, he was already trained not to be fussy, so he couldn''tin like the others, but he was always very straight to the point.


    "You and your brother should talk to your sister. On her first day of arrival, she challenged my authority and disrespected me in front of her adopted daughter." Fu Heeined.


    "There is no need to speak with her and try to get her back to her senses. If as an adult she doesn''t know what is wrong, then the best thing is for her to be thrown out of the house. I can''t waste my breath on her." Fu Lei said.


    His kind of person was very different. He would never try to talk sense into anybody. If the person couldn''t see from others''ints that he or she is wrong, he would immediately jump into action.


    There was no time to tolerate any nonsense from anybody.


    The next morning being Sunday, Fu Hee got up on time to overseas the breakfast preparation. She brought a special recipe for Jia Li, but she didn''t know if she would like it, so she made sure she monitored the preparation to ensure that nothing was missed from the cooking method.


    Fu Hee''s priority after waking up in the morning was breakfast, and after that, she assigned two servants to clean up thest visitor''s bedroom down the hallway for Lanying. She also told them to make sure it was ready before Lunchtime.


    Fu ChuHua who had just woken up and was making her way towards Fu Hee, heard her passing out an instruction concerning the bedroom for Lanying.


    There was a frown on her face as she met with her and asked about it. "Why are you bothering yourself by arranging another room? Since Fu Juan loved her adoptive daughter so much, there would be no harm if they stayed together."


    "That is not proper, and that would be petty of me. The person we are all angry with is Juan, not the young woman she brought with her.


    "I get you that the youngdy is not innocent or naive. Not everyone can be Jia Li." Fu ChuHua said and walked away.


    In an actual sense, she was saying that Lanying might not be innocent, as her character can not be stamped on because she was acting innocent, just like how Jia Li was when she first came to the Fu House.


    Fu ChuHua was also reminding Fu Hee that not everyone was as genuine as Jia Li. For Lanying to be trusted, she had to live under their roof, while they monitor closely.


    "Whether she is innocent or not, I have to do the right thing." Fu Hee responded.


    As the Mistress of the Fu family, she had to be just in her treatment. For now, she hasn''t seen any bad character in Lanying, and also, she couldn''t judge her based on Fu Juan''s attitude.


    Fu ChuHua gave up and followed Fu Hee to the kitchen area. She knew that Fu Hee was trying to do her job, but if she were to be in her shoes, she wouldn''t fail to teach Fu Juan a lesson never to mess with her authority and what she can do with it.


    When Jia Li woke up, Jasmine had already washed up and was letting her dadb her hair. Jia Li smiled at the father and daughter before going into the washroom.


    She could remember when Jasmineined about Fu Hua holding her hair tight and causing her pain. Fu Hua didn''t sit well with it and had to practice with her hair, so he could get things right.


    Jia Li even had to exin to him that children had a high reception to pain, so he should be very gentle when helping her with her hair.


    From what she could see this morning, Fu Hua had already perfected helping Jasmine with her hair.


    By the time Jia Li was done washing up and changing into a newfortable dress, a servant had ready brought her freshly squeezed juice Fu Hee had ordered for her.


    Fu Hee still had in mind that she used to be very hungry after waking up in the morning, so she doesn''t fail to send her light meals.

 Chapter 712 Penetrating her heart

    <h4>Chapter 712 Prating her heart</h4>


    "Mum is being so good to me." Jia Li said with a smile as she went to the table to pick up the ss of freshly squeezed juice.


    "Look at you being all proud." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    Jia Li replied after drinking a mouthful of the juice, "I can''t help it."


    Jasmine so how happy her mother was with drinking juice, and thought it must be delicious, hence, she stretched out her hand to ask for a taste.


    "Mummy, give me."


    Jia Li hit her hand away gently before saying, "Don''t beg me, this is not for adults, and you might like the taste."


    "Why?" Jasmine asked with pouted lips as she was about to cry.


    "Don''t you dare cry, or I will spank your butts." Jia Li threatened and went to sit down with her remaining ss of juice.


    Fu Hua didn''t like Jia Li''s method of scolding, especially when it made their little girl shed tears, just like now.


    "Why are you scolding her? You should have talked to her nicely." He asked as he brought the little girl into his arms tofort her.


    "I can''t tolerate her all the time. I know when to be gentle with her, and also strict with her. We can''t pamper her all the time." Jia Li said.


    Jasmine shed tears in her father''s arms after being scolded by her mother. With her nonstop sobbing, Fu Hua didn''t have the time to continue arguing with Jia Li, instead, he gave his little girl, all his attention.


    Atst, Jia Li who seemed unmoved caved in. "Jasmine, this drink is not meant for children, and you might like the taste, here, try it." She said as she brought the ss towards Jasmine''s lips.


    Immediately Jasmine caught a whiff of the scent, her nose scrunched up immediately as she turned her face away.


    Jia Li restricted her arm and said with a smile, "See, even you don''t like the scent, so how can you be able to stomach that."


    "What is wrong with the fruit juice?" Fu Hua asked with a slight frown.


    "Mum added a little cinnamon, ginger, and a vegetable to the fruits, so the taste is not funny, but it is indeed very healthy." Jia Li replied immediately.


    Now, Fu Hua came to understand the reason Jasmine turned her face away and stopped crying. Anyone who saw Jia Li drinking the juice earlier would be deceived by her.


    "Doesn''t that taste bitter in your mouth?" Fu Hua asked with a disgusted look.


    "There is indeed a slightly bitter taste, but there is also a sweet, and a spicy hot one." Jia Li replied.


    The fruits made try drink sweet, the vegetable made it slightly bitter, and the ginger made the drink, hot and a little spicy.


    Fu Hua''s facial expression said that he didn''t care about the rest of the taste. He was already disgusted with the drink as he wondered what on earth would make him take a drink like that.


    Soon, it was time for breakfast, and the entire family gathered in the dining room.


    It looks like breakfast was going smoothly today, as no one has dared to make any trouble yet. Fu Juan was eating quietly when she thought of something, and then she fixed her gaze on Fu Hee to ask, "Hee, is my daughter''s bedroom not ready yet?"


    Fu Hee made sure to swallow the food in her mouth before replying slowly, "It will be ready before lunch, and I will let you know when everything is ready."


    Fu Juan wanted to ask why she was so dull with getting a bedroom ready for her daughter, but she didn''t dare to cause anothermotion.


    Grandfather Fu nced at his children and said to them, "All of you shoulde to my study in 2 hours."


    There was no need to ask for the reason because it was very obvious that Fu Juan was the case of study. Grandfather Fu has finally cleared up his schedule in other to understand his daughter and works sense into her.


    There was an ufortable feeling slowly rising in Fu Juan and Lanying''s hearts, and no matter how they tried, that feeling wouldn''t go away. The only solution was for them to wait patiently until the meeting was over before their nerves can rx again.


    A meeting starting in the next two hours means that there should be tea and snacks ready, so after breakfast, Fu Hee went to instruct the kitchen on what type of snacks and tea to prepare.


    When they got back to their bedroom, Lanying talked about how happy she was being at the Fu house, and how ambient the dining room was.


    Fu Juan scoffed and said, "Does the breakfast table today seem like it had the best ambiance a family should have?"


    Lanying smiled and shook her head before exining, "No it''s not, I''m only happy that nobody made trouble for you otherwise, I will feel very bad."


    "This house is bing so unweing." Fu Juan said through gritted teeth. Her deration rmed Lanying, who quickly tried to cate her.


    "Mum, you shouldn''t talk like that. There are hurdles in many stages of our life, and we have to cross them all. Even if you don''t like it here, please do it for me. I really want to be close to your family. It feels wonderful having a big family like this apart from the orphanage."


    Lanying''s words seeded in touching Fu Juan, who now felt the need to ignore what was going on and focus on helping her daughter get close to the family.


    Seeing that her ns walked, the smile on her face spread the more as she took her hands and led her towards the bed.


    "Where are you taking me to?" Fu Juan asked as she followed her.


    "I''m going to give you a massage," Lanying said with a smile as she helped her to sit at the foot of the bed.


    Fu Juan asked with a look of surprise, "What do I need a massage for?"


    "To calm your nerves, so you won''t anger my uncles and also, grandfather and get us thrown out of the house," Lanying replied as she began the massage section, starting from her shoulders.

 Chapter 713 The knot in her heart

    <h4>Chapter 713 The knot in her heart</h4>


    Fu Juanughed over her words and let her continue with the massage. Because of her words, Fu Juan thought about ying things low.


    When it was time for the scheduled meeting, Butler Li came to call Fu Juan, as her brothers were already waiting in the study.


    Some minutester, Fu Juan was already sitting in the midst of her father and brothers.


    "Did you forget the time of the meeting, or did you just want someone toe and call you?" Fu Geming asked with a frown.


    They had kept track of the time and hade early, but she being the topic of discussion, felt rxed and had to wait to be treated specially.


    Fu Juan shiftedfortably on the couch and said, "It''s not like that. I was about toe out when Butler came over."


    Grandfather Fu didn''t want an argument to start before the main reason they came for, so he sighed and started speaking first with his gaze on Fu Juan.


    "I would have loved us to have an open meeting with all the family gathered here so that everyone would follow up on your matter, but on a second thought, I called off that idea, and decided to give a chance and see if you are worth the remaining shred of respect everyone has left for you."


    Grandfather Fu was saying that the only reason he didn''t call everyone to join in this meeting was to give her thest respect and see if it was worth it, otherwise, she would have felt insulted if the others were involved in the meeting.


    Fu Juan was already feeling insulted by the manner her father was speaking to her, and that made her begin to wonder howe everyone now had a little respect for her.


    No matter how annoyed she was, she couldn''t refute him. She just swallowed her anger and looked on.


    "First, we are going to start with your husband. Where is he? And why did you choose toe over here?" Grandfather Fu asked.


    At the mention of her husband, Fu Juan''s face turned uglier. She hissed and looked away, so h caused her to be scolded.


    "Father asked you a question, what are you hesitating for?" Geming asked with an annoyed gaze.


    "If you are going to waste our time in this meeting, I think it will be better if you took your bags, along with that adultdy you came with, and leave this house immediately!" Fu Lei said authoritatively. He looked so angry that he could hit her any minute.


    Fu Juan knew that he would never hit her, but at this moment, she was so scared that he would do it, so she flinched.


    "Juan, the rule in this meeting is that you have to give a reply to every question you are asked, or I won''t stop your brothers from taking the decision they already have in mind, and which will be for the benefit of all." Grandfather Fu said after watching silently. His tone wasn''t even stern, which made it difficult to tell if he was angry.


    Right, his tone was calm, but his words meant a lot of things. If he handed her over to her brothers to take care of, she knew what kind of fate would befall her. Forget the fact that they would immediately send her away, it would also be difficult for her toe and visit during ceremonies and special asions.


    Knowing fully well about this fact, Fu Juan put her acts together and started replying to the questions her old man had asked previously.


    "I don''t know where my husband is right now, but before I came over, he has been living somewhere else with another woman."


    "The same woman he has two children with?" Grandfather Fu asked, and she nodded.


    At this point, Fu Lei and Fu Geming looked lost. They looked lost and confused as if the meeting had gone on without them.


    "Wait, I know about your husband being unfaithful, but where did the two children pop out from?" Fu Geming asked with a confused gaze.


    That question brought tears to Fu Juan''s eyes, but she refused to cry even after sniffing several times.


    Since she didn''t want to answer him, Fu Geming turned to his old man for confirmation.


    "This is not a new story, but because she chose to let it slide and not let anyone intervene, I pretended not to know and care about it." Grandfather Fu said.


    As Fu Juan did not refute what their father confessed, the two brothers were very angry.


    "How could you not speak up when your husband has two children outside your marriage and is even living with the other woman?!" Fu Lei asked with a furious gaze.


    Atst, Fu Juan spoke up. She wiped her tears and said with her gaze on them, "Because I don''t want a divorce. The reason I am here today is that he asked me for a divorce, so I came here to get away from him."


    "Why don''t you want to give him a divorce?" Fu Geming asked.


    "How can I give him a divorce at this stage of our lives?! He already has another woman and children as well, he already has everything, so how can I give him freedom after everything he had done to me?!" Fu Juan cried out.


    No matter what, she wouldn''t grant a divorce to her husband. That was like epting everything he did to her, which she did not want to.


    "He has everything, but what about me?!" Fu Juan asked.


    "Is that your problem? Can''t you open your eyes and see that you will never find happiness as long as you are still married to him?" Fu Lei asked.


    "I know. I won''t find full happiness if I don''t divorce him, so would he. He will never get to legally be with that woman in this lifetime as long as I don''t sign those divorce papers!" Fu Juan dered boldly.


    "Your husband is wrong, and we will settle issues with him, but you still have to grant him that divorce. You already have a family, and a business you are running, so why do you want to ruin the little happiness you could enjoy?" Grandfather Fu asked.

 Chapter 714 The Meeting

    <h4>Chapter 714 The Meeting</h4>


    "I am notining about my current situation, so I won''t get a divorce!" Fu Juan affirmed. She was adamant about her decision, and wouldn''t want to change for any reason.


    Seeing her stubborn she was, they gave up on trying to talk to her.


    "How long do you n to stay here?" Grandfather Fu asked, but Fu Lei tried to object to him changing the topic.


    "Father?" Fu Lei cakes with a frown, but the old man raised his hand to stop him from speaking further, while still fixing his gaze on Fu Juan.


    Fu Juan took a few seconds to think through before replying, "Four months."


    "Why would you stay here for that long? We thought that 2 weeks or a month is all you would need." Fu Geming said to her.


    "You can''t stay here for 4 months. You are married, and since you are refusing a divorce, I think you are capable of enough of having the challenges thate with it." Fu Lei said to her.


    Fu Juan wasn''t expecting her brothers to side with her or agree with her, so she went on to say her mind, "I just need a new environment to relieve my stress and air out my mind."


    "Is that the reason you have been giving us troubles since you stepped foot into this house? If you needed a ce to clear your mind, you should have gone on a vacation." Fu Geming said to her.


    He couldn''t help but think that she was venting all her frustrations on them, instead of doing it outside.


    Grandfather Fu who has been pondering over a matter, said to Fu Juan with a stern facial expression, "You can''t stay here for more than a month."


    "Father, please, I need this time off to sort myself out otherwise I will die of depression!" Fu Juan cried out.


    One month? That was too short for her to recover and rx. If she went back to that house without thinking of how to deal with her husband''s demand for a divorce, she would lose her mind.


    "Out of pity, I will allow you to stay here for a month." Grandfather Fu said but when Fu Juan wanted to protest, he said to her, "If you beg me, you can just leave with your things tomorrow, and then, you will be forced toe up with another way to survive."


    Fu Juan was afraid that her father would change his mind, so she shut her mouth immediately. As for her brothers, they were totally against her staying for a month, talk more of 2 months.


    Since their father''s decision was final, they had to ept it, but not without giving her a Fu Juan a fair warning.


    "If you are going to stay here for two months without being kicked out before then, ensure you keep to the rules of this family. You have to respect everybody here, and before you order anybody around, don''t forget that Hee is the Mistress of this family, despite you being a daughter of our family." Fu Lei warned.


    Fu Geming added as well because he would not like to deal with his sister''s troubles anymore. "You really have to stop making trouble, and don''t forget that there is a child here."


    After they had finished speaking, Grandfather Fu spoke as well He reminded her of the daily rules just in case she had forgotten because of her twisted mindset.


    After that, Grandfather Fu went on to break this news to her. "After today''s meeting, we are going to call your husband over."


    Immediately Fu Juan heard that she red up, "Why?"


    "We can''t only listen to your side of the story without hearing him out. At least we can do that before we pass a judgment." Fu Lei said with a fierce gaze on her.


    Fu Juan cried about how nobody trusted her and Fu Geming asked how thru could trust her when she was acting like a tyrant in their house, and who knows how she had been treating her husband.


    Next, grandfather Fu focused on the young woman she brought home.


    "When did you adopt that young woman you brought with you?"


    Fu Juan wanted to roll her eyes out of anger over thest judgment that was passed. She didn''t was t her family toe in close contact with her estranged husband, otherwise, they would see how bad their rtionship was, and ask her to divorce him.


    Despite the turmoil going on in her heart, she still replied to him, "It''s only been a few years."


    "How on earth could you adopt an adult and bring her here without our consent?" Fu Lei asked angrily. He really didn''t know what was wrong with his sister.


    How could she adopt an adult without knowing how she was raised, and the kind of people and environment she grew up in.


    Fu Juan understood their worries and went further to exin things to them. "I have known Lanying since she was young. I met her at the orphanage I used to visit, and I liked her so much when we first met, so I decided to sponsor her education. Adopting her has always been part of the ns but some conflicting matters dyed it until it was time for her college education."


    Fu Juan went on to tell them about Lanying studying abroad and onlying back some months ago. She didn''t forget to tell them her age, and any other information she could easily let out.


    "In actual sense, are you trying to say that your husband had no idea that you made an adoption?" Fu Geming asked with a surprised gaze as Grandfather Fu and Fu Lei kept their gazes on her.


    Fu Juan fiddled with her fingers as she replied, "It''s possible that he knows, but that is none of my business. I don''t need his consent in other to adopt a child when he didn''t require my consent before keeping a mistress and having children with her.

 Chapter 715 Heated Argument

    <h4>Chapter 715 Heated Argument</h4>


    "Fu Juan, things can''t always go your way. I will tell you what I think should be done after meeting with your husband. I will give you two options of which you will have to pick one." Grandfather said in conclusion.


    He didn''t want to waste his time speaking to her without hearing from her husband. His thoughts on this matter currently, was for her to get a divorce as there was nothing more to savage in that rtionship.


    He didn''t want to wait until shepletely destroyed herself before intervening. This time around he will forcefully make his way through.


    Before everyone dispersed, Fu Juan directed a question to her father. She asked if she would be allowed to live in the house if she eventually gets a divorce, but Grandfather Fu rejected it.


    He said that she would never live with them, but she cane to stay a few times and go back to her ce.


    After getting that reply, Fu Juan left for her room angrily, while her father and brothers concluded on the matter.


    Fu Juan''s mood was difficult not to detect because she wasn''t hiding it. If she didn''t have a grip on her anger, she would have gone about breaking the things in the room to vent her anger.


    Lanying knew that all was not well, and worried about them being thrown out of the house, so she quickly tried tofort her, while at the same time, asking if everything was okay.


    The only thing Fu Juan said to her was that she was never going to divorce that man, before going into the washroom.


    Lanying sighed and went back to the bed and picked up her phone to continue watching videos on her phone.


    Around noon, Fu Hee was told that Lanying''s bedroom was ready, so she went to check things out for herself. Finding everything in other, she asked the housekeeper and two other servants to move Lanying''s things into that room and inform her it was ready.


    When Fu Juan and Lanying learned that her room was ready, they were happy, more especially the room owner was happy, as she could now have her own privacy.


    Following the housekeeper to go see the room, Fu Juan looked unhappy, and more so when she finally saw the bedroom.


    Lanying had no problem with the bedroom, but her mother did. She even stopped the servants from moving her things into the room.


    When Fu Hee heard about themotion, she came to check things out. After she heard Fu Juan''sints about the location and decoration of the room, she replied...


    "You and your daughter won''t be here for long, so there is no need to take a week of hassle to decorate a room to her taste, and then change everything after 7 weeks."


    Since Fu Juan was going to stay here for 2 months, that is 8 weeks, there was no need to change the style of the room to Lanying''s taste and then change it back to what it was supposed to look like after they were gone.


    Fu Juan couldn''t ept her words as they made her feel that her daughter was an outsider and she had to retaliate.


    "My daughter is also a member of this family so why doesn''t she get the premium treatment like her cousins? Don''t you dare ostracize her!! We have a ce in this house. This is my father''s house, so I have a share of everything!"


    "How can you, being a married daughter im ownership of your father''s house? We should index respect and take care of your needs when you are here, but not cater to your unreasonable demands." Fu Hee replied angrily.


    She hated Fu Juan''s arrogant and disrespectful attitude, so she had to talk back at her.


    "Oh! My demands are unreasonable, but you can''t spend money to make my daughterfortable knowing fully well that this is her first time here." Fu Juan said while pointing fingers at her


    Now, Fu Hee was really angry about the me and couldn''t help talking about it, "Whose fault is it that your daughter doesn''t get to enjoy the bedroom style you had in mind? You knew clearly that you would being with her, but you didn''t tell anyone, and now you expect us to perform magic and do as you want? I''m sorry, I can''t do that."


    Fu Hee was still angry about hering over with her adoptive daughter without letting anyone know beforehand. For now, she has done everything she can to make her daughterfortable in the bedroom she arranged for her.


    She made sure that she wouldn''tck bath supplies and the rest before her stay psed. But here was Fu Juan not appreciating the little efforts.


    Lanying was afraid that the two women in a heated argument, will cause the rest of the family to gather, and then she would end up losing what she gained, hence, she tried to stop her mother, but failed.


    "Mum, the bedroom is fine, and it has everything I would need." Lanying persuaded, but Fu Juan turned to her to say, "No, it''s not fine!" And then fixed her gaze back to Fu Hee.


    She went on to remind her of the kind of treatment Jia Li received in the Fu family when she first came over.


    Fu Hee couldn''t helpughing out loud because of her pettiness. She couldn''t believe that she would dare to drag her innocent daughter-inw into the matter.


    "What''s funny?" Fu Juan asked.


    "Now I know you just want to make trouble. Have you forgotten that Jia Li was treated like a normal guest when she first arrived here for the Fashion show, but when it was clear that she was going to live with us, your father ordered a better room to be tailored to her taste?" Fu Hee asked.


    Back then, it was Grandfather Fu that ordered the premium treatment Jia Li had received. After reminding her of it, Fu Hee went on to taunt her.


    "If you feel that I am partial, and want your daughter to enjoy the premium treatment, I will be waiting for father to pass the instruction directly."


    After saying that to her, Fu Hee walked away.

 Chapter 716 Lanying’s other side

    <h4>Chapter 716 Lanying''s other side</h4>


    For the past few minutes, Lanying has been trying to cate her angry mother since Fu Hee left.


    "I am the only daughter of the Fu family, how dare her to talk to me that way! Even outsiders are treated better than me!" Fu Juan said.


    Lanying knew she couldn''t talk bad about anybody therefore, she only continued tofort her.


    "Mum, if you continue this way, we will be thrown out of the house, and it will take a while before we will be allowed toe back again."


    Lanying''s reminder caused Fu Juan to be angrier. She pushed her hands away and said, "What''s so special about staying where nobody wants or respects you?"


    Lanying could swear that she was fed up with her tantrums, but she couldn''t do that as this was not the right time to re up, she still had a major goal to aplish.


    "Then what about being patient and trying to bond wire the family? If we don''ty low everyone is going to hate us. I''m notining about the bedroom because it is okay. The most important thing is to try and bond with your family." Lanying said with a softened tone.


    Although Fu Juan didn''t stop ranting immediately, those words sank into her head and reminded her of the reason for bringing her over.


    In the sitting room, Fu Hee who was angry earlier was seen drinking a ss of juice, just before her granddaughter came to her.


    All of her worries disappeared immediately as she brought the little girl into her arms, while her Nanny watched her from the side.


    "Da Xia, are you going somewhere?" Fu Hee asked as she released the little girl from her embrace.


    "Yes, I''m going to see Ocean, do you want toe along?" Jasmine asked with an inviting smile.


    Fu Hee couldn''t get over her cuteness and ended up squeezing her cheeks gently. "I hate to reject your invitation. But if I wasn''t busy, I would have loved to follow you."


    "It''s okay, grandma, I can go alone, bye," Jasmine said as she waved at her.


    Fu Hee waved back in return and said to her, "Don''t bete for lunch."


    "Okay." Jasmine agreed before turning around to leave. Fu Hee reminded her Nanny not to let her y in the sun before they left together.


    It wasn''t long after Jasmine left that Fu Lei came out asking for her, and she told him where to find her, and so he left.


    When her surrounding returned to quietness, Fu Hee thought of something and called the housekeeper over.


    "I want you to go and inform that young woman of the basic rules she has to follow while in this family."


    Fu Hee had just remembered that it was important that Lanying knows the basic family rules and follow them so that she wouldn''t be med for not letting her know if there were to be a default, as she doubted that Fu Juan mentioned anything to her after seeing her walk out on the family the other day.


    The housekeeper took her instruction and left.


    Lanying was all alone in the room when the housekeeper knocked and walked in to tell her about the rules.


    Lanying who didn''t look like she was in a good mood,y on her bed and listened to the housekeeper.


    The housekeeper started by giving her the 3 different times for dining in a day and reminded her never to bete if she was going to join the rest of the family at the dining table.


    "You are not exempted from taking tea and quick snacks in your bedroom. For now, there are restricted areas you shouldn''t cross. Apart from your bedroom, the dining hall, General sitting room, the in-house gym, and thewn outside, you are not allowed to explore any other part of the house unless granted permission by the Mistress. And most importantly, you can''t take photos or videos of any part of this house."


    When the housekeeper was done listing the basic rules she had to follow, she asked her if there was anything she didn''t understand, and if she had any questions to ask.


    Lanying couldn''t believe that she would be given such instructions openly. She knew she was not yet epted into the family, but to restrict her movement and stop her from exploring, wasn''t right to her, but she didn''t say anything about it.


    She was already unhappy with the fact that her new bedroom didn''t have any walk-in closet for her to show off, still, she felt at ease knowing that she now had her own privacy during her stay there.


    Without letting her dissatisfaction show on her face, Lanying said to the housekeeper, "I got everything you said. But can I have a cup of tea right now, I''m very thirsty?"


    The housekeeper smiled slightly and corrected the impression she had of her, "Actually, you can''t ask me to bring things for you as their other servants around. My job is already very tasking, but since you had no idea about it, I will ask a maid to bring you a cup of tea."


    Lanying acted flustered at her revtion for only a few seconds, before saying with a taunting gaze, "I thought that as a servant, your role is no different from other servants working under you, but it seems that things are different here."


    The housekeeper saw the obvious taunt on her face, but that didn''t move her at all. She didn''t show her emotions. She still had that slight smile on her face till she left that ce.


    "Boring!" Lanying said and rolled her eyes after the door closed with a gentle thud sound.


    ''She didn''t really fail to meet my expectations of her.'' The housekeeper said as she walked along the hallway without a smile. It was as if she knew that Lanying had this other side of her.


    Lanying ordered tea but she never got it after disrespecting the Fu family''s housekeeper. This little retaliation, made Lanying know how powerless she was in the Fu family.


    No matter who she was, she was just like an ant that could be easily trampled on by servants of the Fu family.

 Chapter 717 YingPei’s return to a huge surprise

    <h4>Chapter 717 YingPei''s return to a huge surprise</h4>


    Two dayster, YingPei returned home. After thepetition ended, he took Daiyu for a two-day vacation, before traveling back to the country. The next step was to help her find a ce in the same city for her great ns to start her swimming coaching.


    As a retirement n, Daiyu''s dream was to start coaching young swimmers to a higher level. But she needed the funds.


    First of all, she needed to get a good ce and register the name of her club before financing it. Not knowing must about the city, Daiyu felt lucky to have YingPei by her side, who knew a lot more than her.


    Finally, after securing a ce, both parted ways and agreed to meet on the weekend.


    Part of Daiyu''s retirement n was moving to the city, and that was the first thing she did some days before she traveled out for herstpetition.


    And now that she was in the same city as her boyfriend, they wouldn''t have issues with the long-distance rtionship anymore. They could easily meet up.


    After having a fun and adventurous time, YingPei returned home atte noon, only to be greeted first by a stranger.


    YingPei had just walked into the house when he met Lanying, who looked like she was going outside.


    On seeing him, Lanying smiled as she recognized him, then she stretched forth her hand for a handshake as she introduced herself.


    "Hello, I''m Lanying."


    YingPei studied her facial expression and then nced at the hand that was stretched out. He didn''t want to be rude as he didn''t know her identity, so he was about to reach out for her hand when he had the melodious voice of the youngest Fu family member calling out to him.


    Jasmine called out, "Uncle Pei!" as she ran towards him with her hands spread out for a hug. And just like that, YingPei forgot all about Lanying and ran to embrace the little girl, as a servant walked over to help him with his luggage.


    "Da Xia!" YingPei called happily as he embraced the little girl and lifted her in his hands.


    As Lanying stood at the side and watched them, she clenched her fist before walking away. When she saw YingPei earlier, he looked friendly and easy to approach, and that was the reason she was so enthusiastic, but who knew that a little dumpling would pop out from nowhere and disrupt her first step in establishing a rtionship with a Fu member?


    Once Jasmine was in her uncle''s hands, she began to ask questions. Like where he has been and if he bought anything for her.


    "Of course, I bought something for you, how can I not do that? I will give your presents to youter, where is your Father?" YingPei asked as he carried her and walked towards the living room.


    "Daddy hasn''te yet," Jasmine replied in her lovely tone.


    "What of your mummy?" YingPei inquired and got the same reply. Then Jasmine got tired and requested for her gifts again, hence, he had no choice but to take her to his bedroom.


    As a servant was already helping him to unpack, he asked her to bring the pink fancy bag in his luggage, and in no time, it was brought over.


    Jasmine was very quick while trying to snatch the bag, but YingPei wouldn''t let her.


    "Don''t be in a hurry little girl! Can you guess what I bought for you? If you can guess one item, I will give the whole bag to you." YingPei teased.


    Jasmine sighed as she moved her face from the pink bag back to her uncle. She was bad at guessing, but surely, he wouldn''t forget to get her some choctes which were her favorite, sons he mentioned it.


    "You got me choctes?" The little girl asked.


    "No, your patents will scold me. Actually, I didn''t get you any sweets this time around, but I got you something more lovely." YingPei said as he opened the bag and took out everything that was in it.


    "See, I got you a pink hairband, pink shoes, and a pink bag. Do you like them?" He asked.


    Jasmine touched them and nodded with a big smile on her face, but then she caught sight of a doll with silver hair and screamed excitedly.


    "You got me a Barbie doll?" She said as she pulled the doll to her chest and hugged it tightly with a happy smile.


    YingPei chuckled as he watched her for a few seconds before telling her a short story about the doll.


    "Your Aunty Daiyu bought it for you. She said she would be opening a swimming training center soon, and she would like you to join. Do you want to learn how to swim?"


    "Swimming?" Jasmine asked as her mind shed back to a cartoon series she was watching recently. There was a swimming scene there. Slowly her lips arched upwards, forming a smile.


    "Swimming is so cool, I will tell daddy about it," Jasmine said.


    YingPei couldn''t help but reach out to grab her cheeks, "You are such a sweet little pumpkin."


    Jasmine used one hand to hold her doll, and the other one to push him away with a low chuckle, "I''m not a pumpkin, I am daddy''s princess."


    YingPei chuckled hard before saying in a low tone that she wouldn''t hear clearly, "Maybe I should have a child with your Aunty Daiyu soon."


    Soon, Jasmine wanted to leave so she could go and show everyone her presents after thanking him.


    YingPei had to put everything back into the link bag except the Barbie doll and helped her to carry it, while she walked ahead by herself.


    This was how Jasmine paraded her presents from YingPei around the house. There was no one she didn''t show her gifts to, even the servants, and her parents who had juste back from work.


    Apart from Fu Juan and her adopted daughter Lanying whom Jasmine was not close to, she showed everyone else her gifts.


    When Jasmine saw how excited she was, she sighed and said to YingPei, "Now, she would want to go to school with the Barbie doll tomorrow."

 Chapter 718 Thirsty for some drama

    <h4>Chapter 718 Thirsty for some drama</h4>


    Later in the evening when FangSu and Meixu hade back home, YingPei went to meet them on the balcony with the little gifts he got for them.


    When the two young women discovered that they got the same ne, they gave him an annoyed gaze.


    "Just tell me that this is not, buy one get one free?" FangSu inquired with a deep frown as she ced the ne on her palm.


    YingPei scoffed and said to her, "Do you think I''m that cheap? This is the first time I''m buying something for you two when it''s not a special asion, and you think I will stoop that low?"


    "It''s exactly because it is your first time gifting us soothing that it seems unbelievable," Meixu said as she examined the ne in her hands.


    YingPei huffed and pointed at the two of them while saying, "You need to change the cheap mindset you have about me. I only got the same ne because you two are the only females in our generation."


    (YingPei was referring to them being the only females in their set)


    As he said that, FangSu and Meixu exchanged nces. "Oh! He doesn''t know." Meixu said and looked away.


    YingPei studied their facial expression and asked, "What do I not know?"


    "Aunt Juan came here a few days ago with a young woman who happens to be her adopted adult child." FangSu spilled with a careless gaze.


    YingPei thought they were joking, but when they mentioned the familiar name Lanying, he knew they were serious and immediately told them that he just met the said youngdy on his arrival.


    "How could Aunt do such a thing? Does gramps know about it?" He asked with a slight frown.


    "Well, all of us found out the same day. This house has been something else since they came over, you were lucky to enjoy some peace and quietness while away on your vacation." Meixu said as she put the ne back into its casing.


    "And that is the reason we didn''t bother you on your time off from work. Anyways, wee home and enjoy the drama with us." FangSu said as she picked up her ss of wine and toasted it to him in the air, before drinking from it.


    YingPei was really surprised by the news. He just went away for a few days, and they already have another grown-up family member. And this makes him think that he traveled to another and returned.


    Out of exhaustion and shock, what came out of his lips was, "This family is extraordinary."


    "You are not the only one shocked, I still can''t believe this," FangSu said.


    "When we thought that our family was done with dramas, another one came up. Which one wille up after this?" Meixu asked as she picked up her ss of wine.


    "Who knows, we will have to see how this one ends," YingPei said and looked away.


    When it was time for dinner, the entire family gathered, almost at the same time. As usual, YingPei went straight for his seat, and almost collided with Lanying who looked surprised to see YingPei sitting there.


    Before YingPei could ask if there was any problem, FangSu sneered from where she was sitting and said to Lanying with a menacing gaze.


    "You want to fight my brother for seating in his position which we all let you take over without making trouble?"


    Lanying looked troubled as most of the family members directed their gazes at her. She quickly bowed slightly and apologized saying that she was only surprised, before going to sit on the other side, next to her mother, and Fu Lei.


    "You shouldn''t have been surprised in the first ce because you are new here, and don''t know your ce yet," FangSu said.


    FangSu was trying to tell her that as a new member of the family who didn''t know how things were done, she shouldn''t be surprised if she was corrected.


    Fu Juan nced at FangSu and said with an annoyed tone, "Now, you are making trouble."


    FangSu almost rolled her eyes at her as she looked away.


    Fu Juan released a deep breath to stop herself from causing trouble because she didn''t want to fight as anything she did would be used against her.


    Wanting to squeeze her daughter''s hand as a way offorting her, she noticed that she had her head downwards, and it was only when she saw who was sitting next to her that she understood.


    Instantly, she could almost feel the pressure her daughter had to bear and optioned changing sitting positions with her, but Geming stopped her.


    "What are you trying to do?"


    As he asked that question, all eyes were now on her, which in the process, forced her to sit back down.


    "Brother Lei''s aura is too much for my innocent daughter to bear, so I had wanted to change seats with her." Fu Juan replied calmly.


    "Did you not want her to get used to the family, this is one of the rarest asions for that." Fu Geming said before going back to eating his food.


    With this little or no drama, YingPei knew that a lot has been going on in his absence. If not for Daiyu, he would have regretted leaving for a few days which caused him to miss some drama episodes.


    There was a way to know what has been happening, and that would be immediately after dinner. He needed to hear the full gist of the whole drama that happened in his absence. So after dinner, he met FangSu, Meixu, and Ling, so they could gist him.


    After learning what happened in his absence, YingPei asked, "Why did the drama have to end before I coulde back?"


    "That''s because Aunt doesn''t want to leave yet. Apparently, she wants to stay here for 2 months." Meixu replied.


    YingPei had a confused gaze as he wondered how that linked to the dramaing to an end, so Fu Ling had to exin to him bluntly.


    "If Aunt causes any trouble, she will be immediately kicked out as everyone is unhappy with her."


    "So, you will have to provoke Aunt if you want to watch some drama," FangSu added with a half-smile.

 Chapter 719 Misunderstanding

    <h4>Chapter 719 Misunderstanding</h4>


    Just like Jia Li guessed, Jasmine actually threw a tantrum about taking her new Barbie doll to school.


    "Do you think you are still a child? Your younger sibling is on the way, how do you think she will feel to see you acting this way?" Jia Li asked the little girl who had a tear-stained cheek.


    Jasmine nced at her mother while sniffing, before she asked, "Am I getting a sister?"


    "Maybe. Now clean your face and let grandpa drop you at school. I''m sure you don''t want anyone tough at you." Jia Li calmly reminded her.


    Jasmine moved her gaze downwards and fiddled with her fingers. The little girl looked so cute in her school uniform.


    From the side, Fu Hua who has stopped himself from intervening in the matter sighed and stepped forward to wipe her tears.


    Earlier, he didn''t know how to get the doll from her without making her cry, but when Jia Li stepped forward, he sighed in relief and scooted away. Finally, the matter was taken care of, so he returned to finish up the rest.


    "Princess, I will brush your doll''s hair and keep her for you. When youe back from school, you can y with her. Now smile daddy." Fu Hua said after wiping her tears with a handkerchief.


    Jasmine couldn''t smile because she was not in the mood yet, so she just stayed calm with her head lowered. Atst, Fu Hua had to kiss her forehead, hug her and call her some of the pet names she was fond of, before making her smile.


    Finally, Jasmine agreed to go to school without her doll.


    Sighing in relief after handing her over to his father, Fu Hua went back to the bedroom to check on Jia Li.


    "Our daughter can be a handful most times." He said as he sat himself on the couch.


    "And that is why you must let me scold and spank her at times, otherwise she would be a spoiled and arrogant princess. If you can''t tolerate them happening, just turn a blind eye to us." Jia Li said to him.


    She knew his weakness when it came to their daughter, so she was suggesting how they could manage the situation, but Fu Hua did not agree fully.


    "If we continue that way, she will have a bad impression of you. She would think that I love her more than you do." Fu Hua said after a moment of silence.


    He has thought things through and could guess what easily went on in the mind of children. And he would never want Jasmine to think that one of them, loved her more than the other. That will never be.


    Jia Li released a sigh and said, "Then we will have to work together, there is no other option."


    Fu Hua did not reply immediately, as he had an idea going through his mind, so Jia Li left him and quickly picked up her phone to track the ship that was supposed tond soon.


    "I think I''m going to check on children''s psychology and how to prate their minds." Fu Hua said as he whipped out his phone as well.


    Both were already dressed for work, but it now looks like they have a few things to check before leaving.


    Not long after, Fu Hua was distracted by Jia Li''s scream, and when he asked what was wrong, she said in a panic, "I just learned that ship carrying the crystals I ordered sank early this morning."


    "What? How can the ship sink just like that? Where did you see that from?" Fu Hua inquired with furrowed brows?


    Jia Li passed her phone to him and said with fright in her voice, "I checked with the tracking ID. OMG! So much money is gone, what am I going to do?"


    After saying that, she started pacing up and down the room. She was in so much panic that she couldn''t focus on anything, even when Fu Hua was speaking to her, she didn''t hear anything until he went to her side and grabbed her arms to get her attention.


    "Stop circling about and calm down, or you are going to be dizzy." He said to her and pulled her towards the bed to sit, but she got up the same second to ask how she could calm down when everything was not okay.


    "You shouldn''t be worrying about the money that was lost right now, but about meeting your deadline." Fu Hua said infort.


    "I''m worried about everything, my mind is not at peace right now." Jia Li said as she fumbled with her dress.


    Fu Hua didn''t know how tofort her. He had a good stare at her before sighing. "Seriously, there is nothing to worry about concerning the money that was lost, FJ will deal with it. This is part of the losses that are experienced in this kind of business. For your crystals, I will try to see if we can get some from around as quickly as possible, but I am afraid that you will have to alter your designs because we can''t get enough crystals in such a short time."


    Jia Li was more worried about the losses FJ just made than the deadline she was supposed to meet up with. Because of her nervousness, she blurted out a question she regretted asking because it made her look dumb.


    "I''m afraid that FJ will go bankrupt because of me, then wouldn''t my career have to end?"


    Even in this situation, Fu Hua couldn''t help butugh, "Do you know how long FJ has been in existence? She can''t go bankrupt over a few pennies of crystals."


    After saying that, Fu Hua picked up his phone to make some calls. Finally, he confirmed that the ship actually sank, which didn''t help Jia Li to feel any better.


    A few moments,ter, Fu Hua discovered something and had to make more calls for confirmation, and atst, his discovery was true. There was an error air the tracking code given to Jia Li.


    It was found out that the ship that sank, was the wrong ship, and didn''t have the crystals she ced an order for.

 Chapter 720 Her Hidden Identity

    <h4>Chapter 720 Her Hidden Identity</h4>


    The tracking code given to Jia Li was a mismatch, an erroring from Sunny''s desk.


    Sunny had the tracking code, and when Jia Li requested for it, she typed them out and sent it to her while in the busy mode, instead of copying and sending it over, so the mistake came from her.


    Realizing that everything was alright and that the ship carrying her goods, would be in China in the next two days, Jia Li released a deep breath and justy on the bed.


    "See you, you are pregnant, and you don''t need stress, but you never listen to me. I''m sure you can rx now." Fu Hua said with a helpless gaze.


    "My mind is free now, so I can rest." Jia Li said with a faint smile. She was very happy at this moment, and could finally dare to rx.


    Fu Hua knew that her mind wouldn''t be at ease so quickly if they truly lost those crystals, but he was happy that everything was okay.


    The next moment, he pulled her up from the bed and said, "You are going to bete for work."


    "Why is it only that will bete for work, what about you?" Jia Li asked as she adjusted her dress.


    Fu Hua picked up their phones, and their bags before walking ahead of her towards the door. "Because I am the boss, and you are my employee."


    "What a bully!" Jia Li said as she immediately followed him outside.


    "By the way, why were you so scared of FJ making losses instead of your deadline when you can actually foot the bill for the loss if thepany asked you to pay?" Fu Hua asked as they walked along the hallway, before taking the stairs.


    "Although I can foot the bill for the loss if I''m asked to, that''s not what my money is for. I can bear paying for a huge loss like that, I will feel that my hard work has gone down the drain, and I might actually copse." Jia Li replied with a funny smile on her face.


    The reason Fu Hua asked this question, was not because FJ would ever as her or any employee to pay for losses in this kind of situation, but because he wanted to know what kind of response she would give, and surely, he wasn''t surprised.


    "So, you are this scared of spending your money this way. Anyway, please don''t copse yet, you are carrying my child." As Fu Hua said that, he transferred their bags to one hand, and used the other to hold her hand, as they got off the stairs and started working towards the hallway leading to the entrance.


    "Why do you only care about the baby, what about me?" Jia Li inquired.


    "Because you want to copse when there is no reason to." Fu Hua replied, and he got a p on his shoulder, which caused him to erupt inughter.


    Just like that Jia Li and Fu Hua left the house, without knowing that someone heard their conversation and was in shock.


    Never would Lanying have imagined that she would get a huge scoop like this, from loitering about. She looked so shocked to learn of the news.


    "She is pregnant, and nobody knows?" Lanying asked herself as she gazed into the distance.


    The next minute, she hurried over to her bedroom and made sure to lock the door behind her, before people like her mother would barge in without knocking.


    Lanying hurried over to the desk and unlocked her iPad which she left there and went to a blog site, signed in with a password, and began to type away.


    When she was done, she set a timer for the release. before smiling to herself in victory, as she slowly put her iPad down and jumped on the bed.


    "Let''s see, how much will I make from this? And what kind of stir will this news cause?" Lanying asked herself with a big smile on her face.


    She was feeling very proud of the stir she was about to cause. And she hopes it garnered much attention to her blog page.


    If Lanying wasn''t in the Fu house, she would have ordered a ss of wine, but she couldn''t do that openly, so she went out and ordered a fruit juice which brought to her some minutester.


    After rxing for a while, she set her recording instruments to take videos and some pictures which she posted on her social media pages.


    Two dayster, news about Jia Li''s pregnancy spread on the inte like wildfire. Lanying''s blog handle was reposted and manyizens were asking how she got the news, and which evidence she had.


    Many people ran to Jia Li''s page to ask her about it and find out if it was true, while the others (naive) were already throwing congrattory messages without confirming the news.


    "Our lovebirds, Jia Li, and Fu Hua are expecting another child, congrattions to them! We hope to see the baby bump soon." FangSu read out the news during breakfast on a Friday.


    "Who posted that thing?" Fu Lei asked as he mmed his fist on the table. Because Lanying was sitting beside him, she flinched. She was so scared out of guilt, but Fu Juan thought it was because of Fu Lei''s anger. But she couldn''t say anything to avoid being dragged.


    FangSu read out the blogger''s name, "Spider, that''s the blogger''s name. I think we need to check her out. This person seems to have a lot of interest in our Fu family."


    FangSu was already scrolling through Spider''s page and checking out all her blog posts.


    "How did this person even get a hold of this news since none of us had said anything to anybody, or has anyone done that?" YingPei asked as he nced at everyone.


    "How would we do that when brother has not asked us to do that or make any official announcement. And you know that sister-inw isunching another collection soon, so how can we release this kind of news?" FangSu asked.

 Chapter 721 Wedding Preparation

    <h4>Chapter 721 Wedding Preparation</h4>


    Jia Li and the rest of the family members were unhappy, but Fu Hua looked worse.


    "Who owns that blog?" He asked with his gaze on FangSu. As he asked that question, the tension in Lanying''s heart increased.


    She was really afraid that she was about to be found out, so she didn''t dare to meet anyone''s gaze, but also, she didn''t give out any suggestive reaction that would cause her to be suspected.


    "I don''t know, and it will be almost impossible to find out who this person is, because there is no personal information on the page, and whether this person is a male or a female, you also can''t find out about it," FangSu said, and she was right.


    For blogs like this, you can''t find out who the owner is, and any personal information rted to the person, since the person in question, was deliberate by hiding his/her identity from the very beginning.


    Fu Hua was indeed pissed off that his aura could be felt by all.


    "This is good news, why are you all angry about it? I didn''t even know that Jia Li was pregnant until now. Also, this news getting out would help hertest collection to sell out quickly since she is so loved." Fu Juan said and regretted it the next minute.


    The kind of hard stare she received from everyone, made her know that speaking was a mistake.


    "Aunt, do you think that putting our personal information out there is business? My brother and my sister-inw didn''t want to share this news with anyone yet, they had their reasons, but some crazy fool goes on to do this! If I catch this person, I will bury them alive." FangSu said with an ugly gaze directed at her.


    "Could this have been done by the servants since no outsider knows of this news?" Fu Juan asked as she didn''t see any other way to exin how the news got out.


    Fu Hee nced at her and replied, "The servants would never do anything like this, and they have been aware of this pregnancy for almost a month now, but yet the news didn''t get out until today. But anyway, I know how to keep an eye on all of them."


    Grandfather Fu sighed and squeezed Jia Li''s heart infort before picking up his cutlery.


    "So, how do we respond to this?" YingPei asked.


    "We ignore it. The person that put that news out there had better pray that I don''t get a hold of them." Fu Hua said as he stabbed into his vegetables with a fork.


    That little action of his, scared the shit out of Lanying, causing her to lose the grip on her fork. She just saw how angry and scary Fu Hua could be.


    Everyone nced over at where the noise wasing from and red hard at Lanying.


    When Jia Li and Fu Hua went back to their bedroom but were still very angry about their pregnancy are revealed to the world when they were not yet ready.


    "Who could have done this?" Fu Hua said she powdered over.


    "Anyone could have done it. I didn''t even tell anyone yet, so this still baffles me. Trying to find out who did this, is going to be a headache, let''s just leave, we have something better to do with our time." Jia Li said.


    Fu Hua frowned and turned his gaze to her, "As much as I want to forget about this matter, I can''t. Now, everywhere you go, those journalists and reporters will chase after you and start asking about those questions."


    Jia Li got up from the bed and held his arms as she managed a smile and asked, "I know you are worried about me, but I will be fine."


    Fu Hua was still angry, but he couldn''t continue being that way because it wasn''t his wife or family that made him angry. The person that made him angry was still unknown, so it was futile to be angry and vent it on his family.


    Fu Hua and Jia Li decided not to reply to the blog post all the rumors about her pregnancy, leaving the public to specte.


    Some fans, still congratted Jia Li and Fu Hua and also the Fu family, while some went straight to call the blogger (Spider) out and ask for proof to prove her blog.


    When FangSu and Meixu went out for shoots and reporters gathered around them, they would still be asked if Jia Li was expecting another child, and they would end up ignoring them and walking away.


    One time, FangSu asked a reporter with a frown, "Who told you that?"


    "We are not sure, so we are trying to confirm from a family member." The reporter replied.


    "You don''t need to confirm anything, just go back to your house," FangSu said and walked away.


    No matter how many people called out the members of the Fu family nobody responded to them.


    Jia Li channeled all her energy into her uing clothingunch. She focused on it and didn''t even have the time to go on the Inte to look at the news.


    As some days go by, Meixu continued with her wedding preparation. With the help of a renowned wedding nner, everything was getting into ce slowly.


    Today, Meixu went with the wedding nner to choose the fresh flowers she would like on her day. They went to the biggest florist in then for consultation.


    Meixu''s choice of a flower was very unique. She needed one that had a good strong scent, not minding the type of flower it was.


    After twenty minutes had passed, She was done making her choices and checking the florist center out.


    No matter how big that ce was, it wasn''t possible to provide the truckload of flowers that Meixu requested, so an advance order was ced, so they could use the time they had, to import those particr flowers from different ces.


    Not only did Meixumit an advance payment, but sure struck a deal with the florist. After she would be down with her wedding, she was going to sell those flowers, and the florist optioned to buy them.

 Chapter 722 Nobody knows

    <h4>Chapter 722 Nobody knows</h4>


    Because the florist offered to buy them, Meixu did not have to make a full payment for the flowers she ordered.


    "You really know how to make a food deal." The wedding nner said to her with a smile as they stepped outside the ce.


    "Of course, would have you expected me to throw the flowers away, or give them out when the cost a lot?" She asked as she stepped into her car.


    The wedding nner got into the same car and spilled what she thought. "Honestly, I thought you were not even going to care about what happens to the flowers after your wedding."


    "I have money, but someone is teaching me not to waste them. Where is our next destination?" Meixu asked as ignited the engine and drove away.


    "We are going for wine tasting, and your fiance should me us there, so you two can make a choice." The wedding nner said.


    Meixu agreed with her on this one and contacted Shi Qiao so he could be avable for their wine tasting.


    Meixu and Shi Qiao''s wedding was close already, so most of their time was going into their wedding ns.


    Later in the evening after Meixu returned, she spoke to Fu Hee and her mother about down materials she wanted then to pick for her bridal train.


    She was conflicted about the best color of material to pick for her second outfit for her wedding reception.


    The color of the day was pink and Emerald green, so she had to make two dresses avable in those colors.


    While the two women were helping her choose, Fu Juan came over with her daughter and asked immediately her eyes sighted the material, "Are getting any material for your wedding?"


    "No, you will wear what you want," Meixu replied and got busy again.


    Since they were on their way out, Fu Juan pulled Lanying''s hand and left the building. Outside, Lanying who was still surprised about finding out thistest news could help but to ask her mother about it.


    "Mum, my cousin is getting married and you didn''t tell me?"


    "I forgot. I was very busy during that period so slipped my mind. Anyway, now that you are here with me, you can know everything that is happening around my family. It will help to make you feel closer to the family." Fu Juan replied with a smile and went ahead to open her car door.


    Lanying was annoyed that her mother was not taking things seriously, but she couldn''t say anything to her.


    She was annoyed, but also very happy that she was in the Fu house, and gets to see every member from such a close range, and that is the reason she must not allow them to be thrown out of the house.


    After all, she was also a part of their family now web though they have refused to acknowledge her within themselves.


    In the car, Fu Juan asked her to remind her about picking a dress for her to attend the wedding in.


    "Lots of people from the Entertainment industry would be present. Although Meixu said she didn''t want arge-scale wedding, I''m sure people of importance would grace her wedding."


    "Mum, I have to look pretty that day. I can''t embarrass your family." Lanying said with a smile which caused Fu Juan to chuckle.


    "You are really acting like a child. There is no need to trouble yourself about your looks and worry about embarrassing my family because nobody knows your rtionship with the Fu family, so you can rx and do your thing."


    Fu Juan did not mean any harm when she said that. She didn''t want Lanying to be ufortable with the pressure of being a Fu, and she had also never asked her what she wanted, she only made that decision after thinking on her behalf, not knowing that Lanying had a different thought.


    As she said that, Lanying was furious and felt like taking the steering from her hands and driving the two of them down the hill.


    She couldn''t believe that there was still no preparation or thought to stop hiding her and make her eptable in the Fu family.


    Because she was angry and didn''t want her to suspect anything, She stopped talking and fixed her gaze on the window, leaving her fists to showcase how angry she was.


    Lanying continued squeezing her fists until they got to a big grocery store.


    "Don''t forget to pick only fresh and tender vegetables,e, I will show you how to do it first." Fu Juan said to her as she took her to the veggies section.


    They both nned on visiting the orphanage the next day, so they came to shop ahead of time. Lanying was still annoyed, but she followed after her with the trolley.


    She had wanted to ask her why no servants followed them outside, and if she was the one that was going to carry their grocery bags, but she couldn''t ask that since ording to her, she was an adopted child.


    Atst, when they had finished shopping, Fu Juan smiled and said to her as they were over the counter, "You were so active today just like before. Don''t worry, I will treat you to a fancy dinner, so you don''t have to be ufortable sitting with the family tonight."


    "Mum, thank you, but I think we should go home and have dinner with the rest of the family. What if we miss out on a piece of good news and they don''t tell you about it?" Lanying said with a frown.


    She would have appreciated having a fancy dinner, but her blog was very important to her. She didn''t want to miss out on anything happening in the Fu family.


    She could imagine Jia Li being pregnant and her mother did not know about it. Also, Meixu was getting married and her mother forgot to inform her and didn''t even think it was serious.


    With all this happening, Lanying had no one to trust other than herself. She wanted to get the news herself and act on them as soon as she got them, so they need to be around the Fu family members at all times, arose.

 Chapter 723 The Family Meeting I

    <h4>Chapter 723 The Family Meeting I</h4>


    Three dayster, Lanying made a post on her blog which wrote, "A good and exciting news wille from the Fu family soon but until the news is official, let''s congratte them."


    Due to her previous post about Jia Li''s pregnancy, her blog social media handle became popr and a few people reported her blog and asked what the good news was about.


    Of course, there was no reply from Lanying, as that was not her n. This time around she was being very careful about her blog post so she wouldn''t be found out.


    It was very easy to suspect her because all the members of the Fu family and servants were aware of Meixu''s wedding, and if she reported it directly, they would suspect her.


    She was already feeling lucky that nobody caught her in the first act.


    Currently, Meixu was holding her phone, and staring seriously at Spider''s blog. She was paying close attention to see if she will find out any news rted to her marriage, but she didn''t see any.


    Instead of her seeing a blog about her marriage, she saw about the good news that wasing from her family soon.


    At that same moment, Fu Ling walked over and managed to catch a glimpse of her phone screen and saw her on Spider''s blog. And he couldn''t help but ask, "Are you trying to see if there is any news about your marriage?"


    "Yes. Since this Spider is so in love with the Fu family, I want to see how far she can go, and not just that, I want to find out who this person is." Meixu said.


    Had it been she saw a post about her marriage out there, she would have stopped at nothing to find out the owner of the blog.


    But then she will also get the idea that the blogger would be currently at the Fu house.


    "If this person is in this family, it will be very easy to catch her. Anyway, don''t think too much about that blogger." Fu Ling said to her.


    Don''t think too much about the blogger? Meixu wasn''t buying that, but she did not respond.


    Sometime in the first week of May, which was also about a week and some days before Meixu''s wedding, Fu Juan''s husband visited the Fu family ording to Grandfather Fu''s instruction.


    Fu Juan didn''t know the particr day her husband wasing until that morning when her old man told her not to go anywhere for that day, because there would be a big meeting soon.


    Fu Juan remembered that the old man had said he would invite her husband over to hear from his own side, and got annoyed.


    The thought of seeing that man who was acting so shameless after cheating on her, made her blood boil. At that point, she felt that he didn''t deserve to step foot into her home.


    Because of the big meeting that most of them would attend, the servants cleaned up a meeting room which has not been in use for a while. As for the kitchen, they made a few snacks and tea ready for the meeting.


    During brunch time, Fu Juan''s husband arrived. There was butler Li to usher him inside the house and lead him to the meeting room, where he shed with his wife.


    If eyes could kill, Fu Juan would have finished off her husband since. The way she rolled her eyes at him, could fire bullets, but the way he retaliated by looking away and pretending as if she wasn''t visible, was the worst feedback ever.


    If not for her brothers'' presence, she would have given him a piece of her mind, and that would be insulting him and calling him horrible names.


    At the meeting table, sat Fu Lei, Fu Geming, Fu Hee, Fu ChuHua, Fu Hua, Fu Ling, and Fu Juan. Meixu and FangSu were not interested in the meeting, so they didn''t appear even though they were not invited.


    Everyone had taken their seats and was waiting for Grandfather Fu to appear. In the meantime, Fu Juan''s husband was ignored. Apart from the time he greeted them and they responded lightly, there was no moremunication between them.


    Finally, Grandfather Fu walked in with Butler Li behind him, causing the rest of the family to stand to their feet in honor, and then took their seats when he had sat down.


    Taking his seat slowly, Grandfather Fu nced at all the members of the family that were present and when he caught sight of Fu Juan, he asked her to leave.


    "Juan, leave us for a moment. We have heard your own side of the story before when your husband was absent, now, let us hear his own side."


    Fu Juan was reluctant to leave. She wanted to be present and hear her husband speak, so she could immediately interrupt him if he said anything that wasn''t true.


    She had this thought without knowing that it was the main reason her old man didn''t want her present at the meeting for now.


    There would indeed be amotion and possibly a fight if she wasn''t present while her husband was telling his own part of the story.


    Reluctantly, Fu Juan got up and left the meeting room, without forgetting to roll her eyes at her husband.


    In another part of the house, in one of the living rooms, Jasmine was watching a cartoon, while Jia Li was reading a book. Both mother and daughter were busy with their own thing when someone came to interrupt.


    Lanying who wasing towards the area heard the cartoon sound and decided to go in. On seeing that it was only the mother and daughter pair that was there, she became more rxed.


    Jia Li who was reading a book heard the footsteps and looked up only to see Lanying. Before she could say anything to her, she has already spoken.


    "Please can I stay here, I''m so bored with nobody to speak with?" Lanying asked as she feigned a sorry look.


    Jia Li nodded and looked away from her direction and went back to reading her book, while Jasmine remained distracted from her cartoon.

 Chapter 724 The Family Meeting II

    <h4>Chapter 724 The Family Meeting II</h4>


    Back at the meeting room after Fu Juan left, Grandfather Fu stated the reason for the meeting before leaving the floor open for Fu Juan''s husband.


    The man agreed on only a few of what Fu Juan said about him. He agreed that the part about him having a wife and two children outside was true, but as for other things, they were not true.


    "Since I married Juan till today, I have lost my temper a lot of times, but I have never hit her, but she? She hits me despite knowing that I would never retaliate. She insults my family and me, she doesn''t listen to me and does things as it pleases her."


    When he was asked if he knew about the adoption Fu Juan carried out, he denied that fact. "I have no idea that she adopted anyone for a child as I haven''t been staying with her anymore. I onlye back a few times to stay over."


    "I was about to ask how it was possible for her to adopt a child and you wouldn''t know anything about it, but you have already given the answer already." Fu Geming said and looked away.


    Thrvnan understood that "Even if I stay with her like before, she would never tell me anything about it since I rejected that idea long ago. Also, Juan does as she pleases. She has never sought advice from me before, and neither has she taken one from me either".


    Fu Juan''s husband confessed that he was tired of the marriage with her and wanted to part ways. He also stated that he was ready to face any punishments dished out to him by the Fu family.


    While speaking, he didn''t look like he regretted his cheating actions, and the entire family could understand that as he had already exined to them.


    The only thing that made him feel a little guilty was the fact that if the news of him having another family while still married to Fu Juan spreads to the media, the Fu family would be shamed.


    Before saying anything to him, Grandfather Fu asked Butler Li to call Fu Juan in. Immediately Fu Juan sat down, he threw a question at her.


    "Do you n on spending the rest of your life with this man?"


    Without sparing her husband a nce, she replied, "Never, I''m done with him."


    "If you are done with him, then divorce him. You don''t even want to spend the rest of your life with him, so what is all this nonsense?!" Fu Lei asked with a dangerous game directed at her.


    "Indeed, I don''t want to spend the rest of my life with him, and it''s also true that I don''t want to divorce him. We can live apart from each other while still being married. I won''t care whatever he does with other women as long as he doesn''t bring them into my house." Fu Juan sad stubbornly.


    Even Fu Hee and Fu ChuHua were provoked. They really wanted to ask if that form of revenge she wanted to carry out was worth it because, at the end of the day, she would be the one losing, but they optioned to keep quiet.


    As for Fu Hua, YingPei, and Ling, they also chose not to interrupt as it was pointless seeing their Aunt''s actions and stubbornness.


    Grandfather Fu who has been sitting patiently after asking that question, called her attention to what her husband had said about her verbally abusing him and disrespecting him, long before he cheated on her.


    "He exaggerated on some of the things he said, also, did he tell you how he kept on insulting our family and saying stuff like I wasn''t raised properly? No matter my reaction to him, it still can''tpare to himmitting adultery and having children outside, his sins are greater!" Fu Juan insisted.


    This time around, Grandfather Fu did not bother to waste his time on this issue and let the husband and wife exchange words. After getting Fu Juan to shut up, he said with his gaze on everybody present in the meeting room...


    "Long ago, I agreed with my wife that there would be nothing like divorce in my family. And as every member of the family know, divorce is not allowed in the family, but for this case, I have lifted the ban."


    Fu Juan became rmed and wanted to speak up to defend her rights by saying that nobody would tell her whether to divorce her husband or not because they were not the ones hurt in her stead, but She was threatened by Fu Geming.


    "If you are that brainless, I dare you to interrupt father! You are not allowed to say anything unless you are given the right to speak!"


    As he cautioned her, the next thing on Fu Juan''s mind was to walk away, but Fu Hee stopped her.


    "Sister Juan, I know how hurt and betrayed you feel, but if you don''t let the family help you to take the right step, you would lose the only backbone you have left."


    That thing Fu Hee said, sank deep into Fu Juan''s heart. She knew she was right, and sat back in her seat. She had lost her husband already, and if she lost the family she came from, what other solid rock could she lean on?


    It was not enough for her to have a sessful career and an adult child. Without a family''s support since she didn''t have friends, she would be a loose thread easy to defeat, especially when her family was there, but can''t help her.


    Because of what Fu Hee said to her, Fu Juan sat back down and waited for her old man to finish speaking.


    "It is clear that both of you don''t love and care about each other. I have also confirmed from you two that there is no trust and the foundation of your rtionship has long been broken, and you two are not willing to spend the rest of your lives with each other." Grandfather said and paused before he continued...

 Chapter 725 Grandfather Fu’s Verdict

    <h4>Chapter 725 Grandfather Fu''s Verdict</h4>


    "Both of you should get a divorce, then after making ns, we will release an official statement about it." Grandfather Fu dered.


    "Father!" Fu Juan called out angrily! It''s not like she wasn''t expecting that kind of verdict, but for him to openly dere it without caring about what she wanted, angered her.


    Fu Lei red at her and said while pointing fingers at her, "If you don''t want this decision, we will disown you, so that you can only keep on embarrassing yourself!"


    Before Fu Juan could continue to protest, Grandfather Fu nced at both of them and continued, "Your divorce will not take ce until a month after FJ''s fashion show. Also, Juan, you can go ahead and make any demand forpensation from your husband or think about it before the due date for the divorce."


    Grandfather Fu didn''t want the family business, and their lives to be affected because of Fu Juan. Soon, Jia Li was going tounch her new collection and things like this would lower the sales and exposure, and also cause thepany stocks to plummet.


    The old man was being careful about what kind of news goes out there during these special times of their lives.


    His granddaughter''s wedding wasing in some days'' time, he had to protect their family reputation for at least this period.


    When the old man was done, Fu Juan nced at all of them and said, "From this meeting, I was given two options. Divorce my husband and make any demands or, Leave the House and the family. Right now, I have enough time to think even though I have made my decision."


    After saying that, she got up from her seat and walked away inrge strides without looking back.


    "Do you think she would rather leave the family than divorce?" Fu Geming asked with his gaze on Fu Juan''s retreating.


    "She is really very stubborn!" Fu ChuHua hissed and looked away in disgust.


    Grandfather faced Fu Juan''s husband and said to him before leaving with the help of Butler Li. "Whatever demands Fu Juan makes, you will have to fulfill it, as long as it''s not unreasonable, but I will review it first."


    No matter how rude, arrogant, and disrespectful Fu Juan was to her husband, and how bad of a wife she was to him, Grandfather Fu admonished her husband for embarrassing them.


    No matter what, he shouldn''t have gone outside to have a family, that was a big p to their faces. It was a big sign of disrespect. If not, for one thing, he would have let Fu Juan have her way, but that would be self-destruction for her.


    No matter what Fu Juan asked, Grandfather Fu was going to let her have her way, as long as it did not involve shedding human blood or causing harm to innocent people, he was going to let her make her demands.


    Even if she asked him to give up all his shares in theirpany and give 60% of his properties to her, she would get what he wanted.


    This was his way of teaching a lesson, and as for Fu Juan giving him a divorce, it was also a way of teaching her a lesson because if she had opened up earlier, she would have been helped long ago.


    Right now, Grandfather was not going to let her husband have his way even though he is willing to give up everything he had since they both got married, he would have to teach him a good lesson, and also not let him have things easy.


    In summary, Grandfather Fu was going to teach both of them a lesson for being strong-headed and disrespecting the entire family.


    Of course, Fu Juan''s husband was not mad to reject the old man''s instructions, so he got to his feet and bowed slightly to everyone as a goodbye sign, before walking away.


    Fu Juan who had left the room earlier,y in wait for her husband toe out. Close to the entrance of the house, she ambushed him there.


    She had a disgusted look on her face as she blocked his way. "Do you really think that I will give you a divorce? Dream on!"


    Her husband smiled and said, "It''s not like you have a choice."


    Fu Juan scoffed and pointed at him, "Do you think that I dare not leave my family just so that I can''t give you a divorce?"


    Her husband chuckled hard in disbelief. He couldn''t believe that she was willing to give up everything just to hold unto a piece of paper.


    "How low can you stoop, and how pitiable can you be? If you are willing to go this far do you won''t give me a divorce, then I have to save yourst reputation and burst your fantasy bubbles for you. You can never stop us from getting a divorce."


    Fu Juan hated his confidence and would have kicked him or thrown something at his ugly face if they were not in the Fu family.


    "Where did you get confidence from? You think. because my father asked me to grant you the divorce, do you think you have seeded? Let me tell you, an adulterer like you can never go scot-free, I will never give you a divorce!" Fu Juan shouted at top of her lungs.


    The servants who wereing that way turned their backs and found another route. Lanying who had just stepped out of the living room heard her mother''s voice and quickly made her way over in light steps.


    When she got close enough, she hid behind a wall to listen to them from there.


    On the other hand, Fu Juan''s husband remained unmoved after her outburst. He only found her funny for embarrassing herself because she was the only one worked up.


    He wasn''t bothered if she will give him the divorce or not, because she news sure that they would sign those papers, even at any cost.


    As a smile slowly appeared on his face, he took two steps forward until he was almost about to swallow her whole.


    Next, he leaned in to say to her in a low tone, "I know your secret."

 Chapter 726 The reason she was disliked

    <h4>Chapter 726 The reason she was disliked</h4>


    Fu Juan wasn''t moved, maybe because of the confidence she had at that time. Instead of forgetting or feeling scared, she rolled her eyes and took a step backward to say, "How boring can you get? Do you think you cane up with anything that would scare me?"


    "Do you think I''m jobless and cane up with trash just to scare you, why don''t we try it?" He suggested with a smiling gaze on her.


    He was starting to find things funny. Gazing at her and seeing how confident she looked as if she was innocent, he couldn''t help butugh.


    It would have been very interesting and more fun to pull down that mask in front of everybody, but he just couldn''t do that, because he needed to make a trade with her, since that divorce was important to him. And that is one of the reasons he wasn''t troubled about whether he could get the divorce from bed.


    "Fine! let''s try!" Fu Juan said with folded arms. If he was going to talk about moneyundering or helping a fraudster politician with money, then he would be literally wasting his time.


    Once she dered that, her husband stepped forwards again and leaned in to whisper some words to her ears as a small smile yed on his lips.


    He hadn''t even finished speaking when Fu Juan took a few steps backward with a terrified look on her face. She looked so broken and frightened said she was. being threatened at gunpoint.


    Landing who was hiding behind the wall, frowned as she wondered why she wasn''t hearing anything, so she tried to peep and find out what was going on, only to see how shocked and frightened her mother looked from her facial expression.


    As for the man standing before her, she couldn''t see his facial expression, but she could tell that he must be smiling now, given how he turned her mother''s confidence around.


    "What did he say to her that made her so shaken?" Lanying muttered to herself with a frown as she quickly hid her face behind the wall again, just before he could turn his back and catch her.


    Down the hallway stood two females with their gazes on Lanying.


    "Say, would an innocent person have this kind of attitude?" FangSu asked with a frowning gaze directed at Meixu.


    Meixu scoffed and said, "Do you need to ask? This is the reason we have to be careful with her. She acts innocent in front of everyone with that thick face of hers, but this is what she does behind our back. Eavesdropping even on her own mother."


    "That b*tch needs to be taught a lesson for this despicable act!" FangSu said as she rolled up her sleeves and was about to step forward, but Meixu drew her back.


    "What are you going to?" Meixu asked with a big frown on her face.


    FangSu replied with an impatient gaze, "Of course, I''m going to expose her in front of her mother who thinks she is innocent, and also in front of everyone..."


    Meixu didn''t wait for her to finish what she had to say, and quickly pulled her to walk away, and as soon as they had just disappeared from sight, Lanying nced towards that side because of the footsteps she heard. But as she didn''t see anybody, she fixed her concentration back on the duo close to her.


    At the other end, FangSu shrugged Meixu''s hand and said to her with a deep frown and anger, "Why did you stop me from exposing that girl and testing down that annoying innocent facade she has?."


    "Are you that brainless? Have you thought what if your ns fail, because you don''t know Lanying very well and what she can do, and you just want to dive straight in?" Meixu said to her.


    "What there to study about her? I can easily expose her right now! She is just a brainless girl who doesn''t know how to cheat!" FangSu dered.


    Meixu clicked her tongue and said to her with pity, "How childish can you be? why do I feel that instead of that girl, you are the brainless one?"


    "What do you mean?" FangSu asked angrily. No one could stand there and get insulted for no reason.


    Meixu folded her arms and said to her, "This is me speaking from years of experience in acting. What if you go there and expose her in front of Aunt, but Aunt ends up defending her, makes a big case out of it, and the entire family sees you as someone who despises Lanying andshes out on her because you have the power to do so?"


    FangSu calmed down to dissect her words and couldn''t help but to agree with her. Their Aunt right now can do the imaginable. It''s possible that after exposing Lanying''s bad actions towards her, she would stand there to defend herself in front of the whole family, and everyone would think that she was making a case out of nothing.


    "Eavesdropping might seem like nothing, but it is actually a trait sign to know someone''s true character," FangSu said.


    She agreed with what Fu Meixu said but when she thought back to what eavesdropping meant, she didn''t get why the rest of the family will take it lightly, but soon, she got to understand as Meixu exined things to her.


    "Eavesdropping is a bad habit, bute to think of the current situation that our family is in. No one here likes Lanying even grandfather and Jia Li. Do you know why? It''s not because we know of Lanying''s bad side, but because of the circumstances surrounding her identity."


    "We all dislike Lanying because of Aunt, if not for Aunt and her attitude, and if she had told us about her adopted daughter long before now, we would have epted Lanying, and wouldn''t have any reason to hate her unless we see veil traits on her," Meixu exined.


    FangSu nodded in understanding and couldn''t help but think back to the reason she disliked Lanying at first sight.

 Chapter 727 A threat

    <h4>Chapter 727 A threat</h4>


    "Why do you look so shocked, did you think I will never find out?" Fu Juan''s husband asked with a smirk, then he chuckled heartily.


    He enjoyed every second the horror couldst on her face.


    Fu Juan was more than shocked that he knew her deepest secret, but how did he find out? Where did she slip off?


    "If you take this message as a threat, that will be better. If you don''t sign the divorce papers when I send them to you, I will expose you to your family, and also to the world. Your Fu family appearing on the frontline newspapers because of your mess should be fun. Also, thepany you care so much about would suffer."


    After saying that to her, he gave her onest silly look before proceeding to walk past her. But it looks like remembered something and had to turn around to speak to her again.


    "Come to think of it, you are the reason for what I did. After finding out about such a thing, how could I stay still? You really should me yourself for everything and stop acting so righteous!"


    Right now, Fu Juan''s eyes were red. She had pains and fear in her eyes, but sue didn''t dare to cry or make a sound. The secret she has been hiding for so many years was out to her enemy, and now he was going to use it to get what he wanted.


    Fu Juan just stood there motionless. She didn''t say a word, and she didn''t move an inch. She just remained in position and only heard his retreating footsteps.


    ''This can''t be happening!'' She screamed in her head. By the time she recovered, three servants were walking in her direction with some cleaning items.


    Fu Juan sniffed and forced back her emotions. before walking past them. On her way, the only thought that was going through her head was how she could avert today. And also if it was possible to wipe someone''s memories away.


    As for Lanying, she quickly hid when her mother was walking away, and after she had crossed her, she came out from her hiding ce and fixed a hurtful gaze on her mother.


    There was no way she would have heard that was whispered to her ears, but as for the remaining conversation, she heard it clearly.


    Her mother was being ckmailed, and for some reason, she was very angry about something.


    When Fu Juan got into her room, she was still in a trance for a few more minutes before breaking out in tears.


    "Aiguo! You will pay for this! How dare you threaten me?!" Fu Juan screamed at top of her lungs.


    Her eyes looked redder than before, and her veins could be seen very clearly along her neck area. Showing how much pressure she used, to scream those words out.


    "Does my sinpare to yours? You are only finding excuses to cover up what you did?! You want a divorce, dream on! I would like to see how you will expose me in front of everybody! You will have to still be alive for that to happen!" Fu Juan swore with bloodshot eyes and ragged breathing.


    She looked so different when she was angry up to this point. If she was given a knife, she would not hesitate to stab her husband.


    That night, Fu Juan did note down for dinner, and the food that was sent into her bedroom remained untouched as she asked the servants to send it away.


    Lanying was very quiet during dinner. She was not pretending to be innocent, but because she was still angry with what transpired earlier between her mother and her husband.


    Lanying was the first to leave the dinner table and from her facial, she didn''t look that cheerful.


    "What is she angry about?" FangSu leaned over to ask Meixu.


    Meixu scoffed and said, "I don''t know, and I don''t care. What I know is that she should never appear on my wedding day next week."


    "Do you think that is possible?" FangSu asked with a slight frown.


    Meixu seemed unbothered as she replied, "I get to detect what happens on my wedding day, and if some people don''t like it, they can also sit back and fold their arms."


    FangSu smiled and leaned away. She knew very well of whom she was talking about. Given their Aunt''s personality and with the family forcing her to divorce, she would use this opportunity and gain the courage to find trouble again.


    Fu Juan would go on toin that the way her daughter was being treated was unfair and may threaten not to attend the wedding.


    After dinner, Jia Li and Fu Hua retired to their bedroom, while Jasmine went to her bedroom to sleep.


    On getting to their bedroom, Jia Liined about feeling hot.


    "Can you feel how hot the weather is? I am so ufortable."


    "Maybe it''s because you just finished eating something hot and spicy as you requested, plus the food was hot." Fu Hua said with a smile.


    "Is that so? But the food wasn''t that hot, if not, my tongue would still be burning up till this moment." Jia Li said with a frown.


    She didn''t know why she was feeling an internal heat. If it was from the food she ate, her lips would have been burning by now.


    Fu Hua had to exin to her that it was possible that she must have lost a part of her taste for spicy food, because the quality of food she ate tonight that had enough pepper, was enough to burn her tongue.


    "... because you can get how spicy the food you ate was, you have forgotten that it can still stimte your body and cause you to sweat."


    Since it looked like her tongue was malfunctioning due to the pregnancy hormones, her other body parts were still okay, and could still detect her body temperature.


    Jia Li finally got it now. "Is that so? Then I hope my body temperaturees back to normal, otherwise, I will feel very irritated."

 Chapter 728 Inviting gaze

    <h4>Chapter 728 Inviting gaze</h4>


    "Just sit on the bed and wait, I will draw a warm water bath for you, and then call you." Fu Hua said to her.


    Since she was feeling ufortable and sweaty, a bath would do, but Jia Li had a problem with the warm bath he wanted to prepare for her.


    "I want to bath with the normal temperature from the tap water, I''m feeling so hot that I think the warm water bath won''t do."


    Fu Hua rejected her request immediately. "There is no way I will let you have a cold bath. I don''t want you to catch a cold, remember the baby."


    Jia Li just stared into his eyes speechlessly before giving up. "Fine, suit yourself."


    Fu Hua smiled and walked away. Soon, he came back to the bedroom, but she was not there. He was almost scared and wanted to go look for her outside before he heard her calling for him from the walk-in closet.


    "Darling!"


    Immediately, he went to go and meet her there. "You almost scared me. I thought you had left the room." Fu Hua said as his sight moved from her face down to her legs only to see that her flip-flops were missing.


    Now he knew the reason he didn''t hear her footsteps while he was in the bathroom. If he wasn''t running the bath for her, he would have heard her footsteps.


    "Since you left to go and set a bath for me, I figured that I should change out of my clothes." Jia Li replied as she let her dress fall from her body and down to her feet.


    "That was a good idea." Fu Hua said while gazing intently at her body.


    Jia Li felt his gaze on her naked body and smiled. "Stop looking, or you will be the one to sufferter."


    "Why would I suffer when I have you here?" Fu Hua asked as a smirk slowly turned up on his lips.


    The next second, he closed in the gap between them and watched her roll her hair before wrapping it up with a hairband.


    "If I say no...?" Jia Li asked.


    "Then I will persuade you." Fu Hua replied as he reached out with his hand towards her chest area but she evaded him.


    "What are you doing?" She asked with a low chuckle.


    Fu Hua stepped backward and replied with a low chuckle, "Don''t worry, I won''t touch you, I was only teasing you."


    "Are you sure you were teasing me right now?" Jia Li asked as she stepped out of her dress and picked it up and folded it.


    "I was. I only reached out because I wanted to you feel your abdomen. You know, it''s no longer t, but it''s looking like it''s getting bigger." Fu Hua pointed out.


    "It''s supposed to get bigger." Jia Li said with her gaze downwards as she reached out to feel her abdomen.


    "I know..." Fu Hua said with a distant gaze. "Come and have your bath before your water turns cold." He added.


    Jia Li nced at him with an inviting gaze as she asked, "Do you want to touch it?"


    "Can I? Will you let me?" Fu Hua asked with a teasing smile.


    "As long as you don''t trespass." Jia Li replied with a wink and dumped hed cloth on the chair before facing him.


    Fu Hua took a step closer and reached out to touch her abdomen. "Did you say trespass? Thest I remember, I own this whole territory."


    Immediately he finished that sentence, he brought her close to his body and hugged her from behind. Next, he grabbed one of her boobs with his hand and squeezed it gently, while the other hand remained on her waist.


    Jia Li couldn''t help chuckling because of his sudden move, and how ticklish she felt. "Seriously, this rogue!"


    "I like the fact that you remember your husband''s second identity." Fu Hua replied as he nibbled on her ear.


    Jia Li felt so ticklish that she really wanted t escape from his grasp, but he didn''t let off so easily, so she had to improvise.


    "Who was it that just said that my water was turning cold?" She asked in-betweenughter.


    "Who sent me an invitation?" Fu Hua asked and went on to bite the side of her neck gently. The feeling of his teeth against her skin caused her goosebumps, and she couldn''t help but react to it.


    Fu Hua felt her shiver in his arms and stopped. He slowly released her and turned her over to face him.


    "We can''t let you catch a cold now." He said before taking her hand and leading her into the bathroom.


    After he had made sure that she had entered into the bathtub safely, he left her and came out. By the time she was done and hade out dressed in her bathrobe, Fu Hua had already made a little preparation for a massage section for her.


    She looked so happy with his preparation, and couldn''t help but kiss his cheeks as a reward.


    "I really needed this." She said as she went to sit on the couch.


    "I know, and that''s why I set this up at thest minute." Fu Hua said to her with a full smile. He looked so happy that she was happy with his present.


    "How did you know?" Jia Li asked with a softened facial expression.


    Fu Hua smiled and replied as he picked up the stretch mark cream from the table, "When I touched you, I felt it. Now take off your bathrobe and go andy on the bed."


    Whether he was lying or not, none of that concerned Jia Li as the massage was very important to her. She quickly took off her bathrobe and climbed into the bed while asking if the door was locked, and she got a positive reply.


    "Lay with your back against the bed, I want to massage your stomach and hip area first." Fu Hua said as he showed the stretch mark cream to her.


    Jia Liid on the bed ording to his instruction, not minding that she was stacked naked in front of him."

    <h4>Chapter 729 A wise woman</h4>


    While applying the stretch mark cream on her abdomen, he felt her small baby bump and said, "The baby is really growing very fast."


    "Yes," Jia Li replied with a full smile. The thought of carrying another little human in her body excited her.


    "When is your next doctor appointment, let''s go together, I want to see our child." Fu Hua said as he closed the tube of cream and picked up a massage essential oil.


    Jia Li flipped over andid on her stomach, so he could massage her back. "It would be after the wedding. I also can''t wait to see our baby."


    Fu Hua adjusted his position so he could have better ess to her back, and massage it properly.


    "Your body is so beautiful. Would you be angry if I say that I like your body more than your appearance?" Fu Hua asked as his hands gently moved against her back in a cordial movement.


    Jia Li whose head was against the pillow, replied with her eyes closed, "Why wouldn''t I know when I always catch you staring at me and trying to get touchy with every opportunity you get?"


    A small chuckle escaped from Fu Hua''s lips. "I can''t help it, but the thing there is that if this body didn''t belong to you, I wouldn''t be interested in it, so I like this body because it is yours."


    "What a smooth talker," Jia Li said with a small smile.


    "I mean every word I say. No matter the ss of women my eyes see, they can''t bepared to you. You are very unique, and my specialty." Fu Juan whispered.


    "Can you stop? I feel that you are up to something." Jia Li said as she moved her face up a bit. She could sense something in her spirit, but she wasn''t sure about it.


    Fu Hua continued with the massage. He moved from her shoulders to her back, and then to her waist area.


    "Is your body telling you something?" He asked with a small smile.


    "I think it''s because I am lying naked in front of you, and you can easily have ess to any part of my body, so I''m beginning to feel insecure." Jia Li said to him and wanted to roll away, but he held her in ce.


    Fu Hua had to stop her from rolling away before he continued with the massage. "Why would you feel insecure about your body, it''s not like I am a stranger?"


    "It''s not about that. I feel that you can easily do something to me." Jia Li replied as she slowly called her eyes. She didn''t k ow if she was overthinking, but for now, she just wanted to close her eyes and enjoy the massage.


    "Something like what?" Fu Hua asked as a smirk turned up on his lips. Because of their position, and because Jia Li''s eyes were closed at the moment, she didn''t see it.


    Jia Li responded by asking him to continue with the massage. She didn''t want to be distracted while enjoying her muscles rxing.


    Seeing how much she was enjoying the massage with her eyes closed, the smirk on his lips spread across his face.


    Slowly, the pressure he was using for the massage reduced. He went from massaging her to caressing her back, and Jia Li didn''t notice on time because she was enjoying his touch.


    It was only when she began to feel the changes in her body response that her eyes flew wide open.


    Fu Hua was messaging her inner thighs, no wonder she felt that way.


    "What do you think you are doing?" She asked and immediately flipped over without warning. She almost kicked him in the face during the process.


    Fu Hua was fast enough to move his face away, but the next moment, he got off the bed and covered the essential oil.


    "I was giving you a full body massage. I don''t k ow what you were thinking, but wait here, let me get your night robe."


    Jia Li sat on the bed in a defensive mode as she watched him step into the inner room, and only then did she sigh in relief.


    "I think I was scared for nothing." She said after a deep sigh, then, she went on to shut her eyes.


    Fu Hua on the other hand changed into his night robe before picking her night robe for her anding back to the room.


    After he handed her night robe to her, he didn''t wait any further and turned off the light. As he thought that she would be getting dressed by the time he turned around, he was surprised when he turned around and saw her still sitting in the bed naked, and staring at him


    Thinking she was annoyed because he turned off the lights, he walked towards the bed and exined, "The light from the bedmps is enough so I had to turn off the light, and besides, we are going straight to bed."


    Jia Li shook her head and knelt on the bed facing him. "I feel that you will harass me in the middle of the night, so why don''t I submit to you on time?"


    Fu Huaughed and leaned over to say, "You are a wise woman."


    "So I was right about youing unto me in the middle of the night and stopping me from getting my full sleep doze?" Jia Li inquired.


    Fu Hua leaned away and got into bed saying, "I wasn''t going to wait till you were fast asleep to do it. I had ns of doing it immediately."


    Jia Li just gazed at him calmly. She just knew who he was and what he could do. After all, he was her husband, and they have been together for almost 6 years. It was only a given that she would know that much about him.


    She just knew that there was no way he would finish massaging her body without asking for payment, it just wasn''t possible.


    Surely, his hormones must have been running wild seeing her naked and touching her.

    <h4>Chapter 730 Dating before marriage</h4>


    "Then let''s do it. Soon, you won''t be able to touch me whenever you want, so let''s enjoy the bliss now." Jia Li said and sat back on the bed.


    She was sitting there naked and giving him an open invitation. How could he refuse her?


    Fu Hua quickly removed his night robe and revealed his glory to her. Now, she could see his strong muscr body and touch it however she wanted.


    After taking off his night robe, he moved close to her and captured her lips while taking her hands and moving them up to his body.


    He stopped guiding her when she started to roam her palms over his body on her own.


    "I don''t think we can y for long." He whispered to her ear before kissing her fearlessly. He literally swallowed her tongue when she opened her mouth to ask him questions.


    He only let her lips go when she became a little breathless. But that didn''t stop there. He went from her lips to her neck, and then down to the middle of her chest to give her a lick.


    Jia Li moaned as she pressed her chest to his face with her hand wrapped around his neck.


    At a point, she had to lean away in other to grant him more ess to her chest area.


    Fu Hua loved her body so much that she couldn''t help wanting him inside her and surely not long after, he fulfilled her wish.


    There was a moan of relief when he finally slid into her and began to move his body against her.


    At the moment when he was getting close, he whispered to her ear, "I love you," and elerated his movement.


    It was truly a beautiful moment when they had a release at the same time.


    Fu Hua slowly pulled out of her and kissed her forehead.


    "Why are you so good?" Jia Li said with a small smile. She was still trying to catch her breath when she said that.


    Likewise Fu Hua. He almost forgot to breathe when he heard that question. He quickly turned to nce at her and asked, "Why are you sounding like I''m not the only one."


    Jia Li looked confused initially, but when she met his gaze, she couldn''t help but chuckle. She found his facial expression funny.


    He looked scared of something.


    "You are going to make me go crazy. How dare I cheat on you? I would never do that because I love you so much. And in case you have forgotten, let me remind you, I only have eyes for you." Jia Li said and gave him a light kiss on the lips.


    Fu Hua released a deep breath andid back on the bed as he asked, "Then why did you make your words suggestive? I was almost about to ask who dared to touch what''s mine."


    Jia Li chuckled softly and move her head to his chest, and with one hand caressing his abs, she replied, "I said that because I don''t know what it feels like to be unsatisfied in bed, as I have heard some women talking about it. I just wanted topliment you."


    Fu Hua wanted to her that there could other men better than him outside and that she was only satisfied with him because he was her first, and she has only been with him, but those thoughts sounded like trash to him, so he didn''t say it.


    He smiled and moved his hand to her ass to grab it. "Yourpliment makes me think that you want more."


    "I would have loved to go for another round, but I don''t want to sleep in and anyone will suspect what we did at night." Jia Liined.


    She was always afraid of people''s suggestive eyes and gazes at her.


    Fu Hua pinched her cheeks before moving his band back to her butts. "If you are afraid that people are going to think that we had s*xst night, then you are only trying to get worked up, a wide how did Jasminee about? And howe you are pregnant again, won''t people know that we are having s*x?"


    A deep blush appeared on Jia Li''s face as she hid her face in his chest.


    "Silly woman," Fu Hua said with a small smile as he continued to caress her butts.


    "S*x is a good and normal thing between couples, there is nothing to be shy about, but I guess you are different. But very soon, you will no longer be acting this way. I married an innocent woman, and I am still yet topletely wipe off that innocence from your bones."


    Jia Liughed and raised her face to meet his gaze. But then she thought of a question and asked about it because his response was very important.


    "If he had dated before marriage, would you have touched me, given how innocent I was back then?"


    This question brought back memories to Fu Hua. A soft smile appeared on his face as he stared into the distance.


    "If we dated before marriage, I wouldn''t have ever resisted touching you, but if I had wanted to pity you and follow courtesy, I would have quickly fixed a wedding date."


    Jia Li felt so sweet because of his reply and she couldn''t help smiling. "Would you have done that?" She asked.


    Fu Hua moved his hand back to her waist and embraced her as he replied, "I would have done that."


    Then he went on to say after releasing a deep breath, "On our wedding night, I didn''t have ns of touching you. Not because I didn''t like you, but because we didn''t know each other so well and I wanted us to get to know ourselves at a certain level before going deep. But as you can see, I was drugged and I couldn''t resist the fire burning in me at that time, so I had to beg you for it."


    When he got up to this point, Jia Li couldn''t help but smile as she recalled that past scene. She could vividly remember how shocked she was when he met that request...

    <h4>Chapter 731 Office Romance I</h4>


    Suddenly, Fu Hua turned over and had her beneath him. Jia Li wasn''t expecting that and let out a yelp. And a moan followed suit when she felt his member rubbing her entrance.


    "Why did you agree to it?" Fu Hua asked with a deep low voice.


    Jia Li was thinking about how she could answer that question in that kind of situation. She couldn''t even concentrate, and it was not her fault since she was being teased down there.


    Seeing that she was distracted, Fu Hua rubbed his member against her entrance and asked with his deep gaze on her, "What''s your reason?"


    Jia Li let out a long moan and replied in between, "Because you are my husband."


    "I see..." Fu Hua said with a narrowed gaze. He could feel how wet she was down there, and even he was about to go crazy from teasing her like that.


    The next moment, he slid into her and began to move slowly, causing moans and gasps of pleasure to escape from their lips.


    Even when their lovemaking was over, Jia Li was still in a trance. She still couldn''t get a hold of how their wedding might let to another round.


    Did he get suddenly aroused because of the aphrodisiac he was given on that day?


    Laying helpless in his arms, Jia Li did not have the strength to move, and she didn''t dare to move for fear of arousing him.


    She didn''t have the energy to go for another round hence, the reason she was being so careful.


    "Your body is changing so fast, is it because of the baby?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze somewhere else.


    "What else did you notice?" Jia Li asked curiously.


    "Your boobs feel more tender and bigger now. I would be so jealous if I see your cleavage is public, make sure to lock up well." Fu Hua said with a tinge of jealousy in his tone.


    Jia Li chuckled softly. "Why don''t you ask me to wear a turtleneck shirt?"


    "I would have done that, but you will look even sexier." Fu Hua said in disapproval.


    He could already imagine how tight the turtleneck would be on her, and how it would align with her figure. No, he didn''t want that.


    "I feel that if you have your way, you will design a dress that would ensure my skin doesn''t show for a bit." Jia Li said.


    It''s not like those kinds of dresses were not in the market, but he would still want to make something special for her.


    "It''s not like you show your skin in public because I know you wouldn''t do that. But I feel that anything you wear will still make you look more attractive.


    Jia Li thought of something and asked, "Do you want me to surprise you? You said that I can''t wear clothes that show my skin."


    Fu Hua gazed at her and said with a daring smile, "If you want to get in trouble, try it."


    "Fine," Jia Li said and got off the bed. She needed to pee and wash up.


    That day at work, Jia Li wore a dress with a zip in the chest area. And because she wanted to show Fu Hua how daring she was, she went to his office during lunch break, with the zip of her dress halfway.


    The first thing Fu Hua saw when she walked into his office, was the teasing smile on her face, and as she approached him, his gaze shifted to her chest, and only then did he see what she had done.


    "Wait a minute, did youe to work looking like this?" Fu Hua asked as he got up from his seat.


    From the distance he was sitting, he was able to see her cleavage properly. It looked so inviting but that was not his interest.


    "Yes, I came to work dressed this way, what''s wrong?" Jia Li asked as she went to sit on the couch. She came over so they could have their lunch together.


    Fu Hua came to stand before her and said, "Don''t me you came dressed like this. You are almost about to put your whole chest on disy. I mean how could you be sofortable showing off my property?"


    Jia Li couldn''t help chuckling at this juncture. She had a hand over her mouth as she continued inughter.


    He looked so funny with that expression on his face.


    Fu Hua didn''t see anything funny and had wanted to go on to scold her, but that second, she zipped up her dress.


    "I''m just wondering what your reaction would have been if I had worn a tight hot dress. Maybe you would have exploded like a tornado." Jia Li said with a soft chuckle.


    "You dare?!" Fu Hua said with an annoyed gaze.


    Jia Li sniffed and said, "I don''t dare." There was still a smile on her face while gazing at him. "Where did you keep the food?" She asked.


    Fu Hua raised his brows with a serious gaze. "Food? Are you hungry? I have another kind of food to give to you first." He said and pulled her up that instant, before dragging her to his spacious office table, then he pushed away some files to one side before lifting her and cing her butts on it.


    "This is your office, what are you doing?" Jia Li asked with an rmed gaze.


    Fu Hua scoffed, "I said I would punish you if you dared to dress seductively, and you really did this to taste my patience, didn''t you?"


    "I only wanted to tease you and didn''te to work dressed like this, I only pulled the zip down just before I opened the door. See, I have zipped my dress, and nothing is showing." Jia Li said while pointing at her chest area.


    Fu Hua followed her hand gesture up to her chest area, before moving his gaze back to her face with his hands on both sides (With her sitting in-between his hands.)


    "What are you wearing inside?" He asked in a low tone and with a serious gaze directed at her.


    Jia Li didn''t know why he was asking that kind of question, but she still went on to reply to him since he didn''t see her dress that morning.

    <h4>Chapter 732 Office Romance II</h4>


    "I''m just putting on a bra, a pant, and a tight."


    "Why would you be putting on a tight?" Fu Hua asked with a frown.


    Jia Li looked amused as she replied, "This is a ball gown, and I''m outside. In case of an ident, I won''t be embarrassed because I have something that is covering my sensitive area."


    She was putting on a ball gown, and any strong wind can lift her dress, so she had to put on something else aside from her panties.


    "Alright. Does Zimo know you are here?" Fu Hua asked as he leaned away from her and put his hands on her thighs and began to massage them gently.


    "Yeah, he saw me." Jia Li replied innocently without knowing the reason he was asking those questions.


    "That''s good." Fu Hua said as a smile slowly appeared on his face.


    Jia Li felt that the situation was strange and couldn''t help but to as about it, "What''s good about your assistant knowing that I''m here? Will anyone be looking for me?"


    "Not really, but no one wille in here to disturb us." Fu Hua replied.


    Disturb us? Jia Li was about to ask what the fuss was about as they were only going to have lunch together, but the next action from Fu Hua made her know that they were having two kinds of lunch that day.


    No matter what she told him about it not being appropriate to do that kind of thing there, Fu Hua refused to listen


    "Someone is going to see us, stop!" Jia Li warned with a little fright in her tone as she tried to push him away.


    "No one is going to see us, and it will be more exciting to do it here." Fu Hua said as he tugged at her tight and pulled it off from her waist.


    "Are you not worried that your office would be filled with the scent of our lovemaking when we are done? Anyone that steps in here, will know." Jia Li said with a worried gaze.


    She was well aware of how strong the scent of lovemaking could be. Each time they had s*x at home, the scent would linger there for a while before slowly dissipatingpletely.


    Now she was worried about the scent staying in his office for a while, as no adult who enters there, wouldn''t know what happened there.


    "Don''t worry, I won''t let anyone into my office for the next 2 hours. Also, I have an air purifier here, and coupled with a paper flowery scent." Fu Hua replied as he tugged at her pant and pulled it off while kissing her neck area.


    Seeing that no amount of convincing could get him to change his mind, Jia Li had to adjust. "You have to be fast, I''m really hungry. Your baby is also very hungry as I haven''t eaten any other thing since morning."


    If she didn''t mention the baby, he nned not to easily let go of her. But because of the baby as he was aware of how hungry most pregnant women easily get, he decided to change his mind.


    After taking off her panties, he asked her to unbutton a few buttons of his shirt, while he removed his belt and unzipped his trousers before pulling out his member.


    When he was ready to thrust in, he kissed her lips hungrily before adjusting their position.


    As for Jia Li, she wrapped her hands around his neck, and let him guide her to the gates of paradise.


    After a quick release, but let out a gasp before separating from each other.


    "This was so nice," Fu Hua said with a satisfied smile on his face as he kissed her lips gently before letting go.


    Jia Li watched him zip his trousers and fasten his belt as she said, "Why do I feel like your mistress. It feels like we are doing something bad in a hidden corner."


    Fu Hua finished zipping his trousers and picked up her pant and tight for her. "Isn''t it what makes this exciting? Didn''t you like the pleasure here?"


    Jia Li released a deep breath and said, "It was indeed exciting. And it looks like you have missed doing this."


    Immediately those words left Jia Li''s lips, she regretted it, but it was toote to take them back. Thinking that Fu Hua was probably angry with her statement, she slowly raised her head with a guilty gaze direct at him.


    "I''m sorry," She said.


    Fu Hua managed a smile and said to her, "It''s fine. I haven''t done this before, so this is our first, and I must say that I like it. Now get dressed ande and eat." Fu Hua said while buttoning his shirt.


    Jia Li couldn''t tell if he was really not angry or not, but she did try to check his emotions by asking him to help her get dressed afterining about how terrible she must be looking.


    Fu Hua gave her a good nce and said, "You don''t look bad, but your eyes tell me that you want more. Would you mind another round?"


    "No way! You are speaking as if you don''t know the reason my eyes are like this. We just finished doing this, and you expect me to return to normal so quickly? Help me with my clothes quickly, my stomach is grumbling already." Jia Li said with a frown.


    Fu Hua shook his head and went on to help her with her clothes. He first helped her with her panties and tight, before going on to zip her dress and cover her cleavagepletely.


    Who could he me for her being somanding towards him? No one.


    After helping her to look the same way she came, he asked her to go and start eating, while he raised the binder for fresh air, and used the paper flowery scent he talked about, before going to join her.


    When he came back, Jia Li made him feed her after sheined that she didn''t have any strength in her hands.


    Fu Hua was speechless, it''s not like he made her do any work with her hand, but atst, he could only obey her.

 Chapter 733 A princess and her Kingdom

    <h4>Chapter 733 A princess and her Kingdom</h4>


    As the date for Meixu''s wedding was fast approaching, the Fu family members were also getting ready for the celebration.


    Because of her wedding, Meixu and shi Qiao have been very busy with thest-minute ns, and because of that Meixu has not been at home that much recently.


    Since everyone was getting ready for the celebration, Fu Juan and Lanying were not left out. Fu Juan took Lanying to a high-end store to shop for the perfect wedding guest dress.


    Allowing her to try several different outfits before giving out her card to pay for the best two.


    Lanying was all smiles when Fu Juan swiped her card to pay for the dress.


    Their next stop was at a jewelry store after picking out a matching shoe and bag for her. Fu Juan gave Lanying the right to pick whichever ne she liked best.


    Because Lanying wasn''t that good with fashion, she hugged her arms and asked her to help her pick one.


    "This girl, you have to learn more about trendy fashion and jewelry." Fu Juan chided her with a smile and still went on to pick a few pieces for her.


    Lanying continued to act childish while rxing on her body. "Mum, you know that I am not in any social circle that will require me to dress up and go to parties and mix up with friends."


    This was a hint to tell her that she was not like her nieces and nephews. And that she didn''t have the kind of connection they had for her to know more about High trendy fashion.


    Of course, Fu Juan got the message and said to her, "This is the reason we can''t leave the Fu house until you have established a good rtionship with your cousins. If we don''t do that now before 2 months are up, we will never get the chance to spend this time with them and get them to be in your favor."


    What Fu Juan said was true. If Lanying had to be on good terms with her cousins, then she had to start working towards it soon, since they still had a few weeks left, because if they left the Fu house with nothing done, it will be hard to win them over.


    Other times that would make them visit the Fu family house, would not require them to stay for that long.


    At most, they could only visit and stay over for a few days, and go back. Nothing will make them stay for this long again.


    Lanying got the message and smiled, after all, this was a part of what she wanted as well. "I will try my best to win their hearts, although it''s not easy, given how they perceive me."


    "You just have to keep trying, at least is better than not doing anything at all. Also, I can''t help you that much, so take care of this by yourself." Fu Juan added.


    Lanying thanked her and continued to shop with her, while they chatted about other things.


    Fu Juan promised to take her to the spa two days before the wedding.


    "I want your skin to be glittering and very smooth. You have to look very nice on that day because you are a guest."


    When Fu Juan said that, she didn''t see that Lanying''s facial expression had changed. She only continued to speak with a smile on her face while checking things out in the store.


    Lanying didn''t seem to like the idea of being called a wedding guest when she was not a part of the Fu family through her, but it looks like Fu Juan had not even epted that fact.


    Back at Fu Vi, Jasmine was trying out her little bride''s dress.


    The entire Fu family women were in the room to see how well the dress fitted her.


    Immediately Jia Li zipped the little girl''s dress, Jasmine twirled with a big smile on her face.


    "Grandma, now do I look?" The little girl asked with a big smile on her face.


    She had seen the dress and knew it was beautiful and couldn''t wait to try it, and finally, when she tried it on and saw her look in the mirror, she knew how beautiful she was, but couldn''t help needingpliments from her family.


    Not just Fu Hee, but everyoneplimented the little girl for how beautiful she looked in the dress.


    "Now, you have to take the dress off, so you can''t get it dirty. Your Aunty Meixu would bring your tiara over once shees back home." Jia Li said to her and tried to help her out of the dress.


    Surprisingly, Jasmine readily agreed, and unlike before, she would have refused to take off the dress after seeing his beautiful it was. The little girl was really growing.


    "Mummy, will I look like a princess?" Jasmine asked as her mother helped her out of the dress.


    FangSu didn''t wait for Jia Li to respond before taking the little girl''s hand and telling her how beautiful she would look in her tiara, just like a princess.


    "Which princess would I be?" Jasmine asked with a big smile.


    FangSu thought for a moment before responding, "You can be Princess Jasmine, and have your own kingdom."


    "Would you be in my kingdom?" Jasmine inquired. The thought of having her kingdom just like all the Disney Princesses she knew, made her excited.


    FangSu nodded, "Of course, if you want me to."


    This was how Jasmine forgot about everything else and followed FangSu out after putting on her casual clothes. They talked about fairies and the kingdom she would love to have.


    When those two left the room, Fu ChuHua faced Jia Li to ask, "What ns do you have for her birthday party? It would be nice to create a good theme like this, and let her y with a fake kingdom with children of her age on that day."


    Jia Li nced at her slight baby bump before replying with a smile, "Aunt, I wild have love to do that, but I don''t have ns of appearing in public with my visible baby bump. I don''t want the media stress, do Jasmine is going to have a quiet birthday this year."

 Chapter 734 Caught red-handed

    <h4>Chapter 734 Caught red-handed</h4>


    For someone like Jia Li, constantly being the media''s attention could be disturbing to her as she was not used to it, and coupled with her condition.


    She believed that she would be driven crazy if early attention was ced on her pregnancy, sobs he didn''t have any ns of making that kind of announcement any time soon.


    Other birthday celebrations for Jasmine have been Grand, but this time around, she was going to change the theme, and turn it into a simple family celebration, with her visiting the orphanage again.


    Jia Li was well understood, and no one forced her to do anything against her wish. Constantly being on the news could be frustrating at times, and for Jia Li who was not used to it, it would be better if she avoided it.


    That same day in the evening, Meixu returned and went straight to find Jasmine as she bought some things she wanted her to try out.


    Fu Meixu was being overly sweet to Jasmine because she wanted the little girl to look incredible on her day.


    Jasmine was alone in her room and with her Nanny, dressing her bed when Meixu arrived with a paper bag in her hand.


    Immediately she saw the little girl trying to help out with cleaning her room, Meixu chuckled and asked her toe over to her side. Jasmine ran to give her a big hug.


    "I got something for you, do you want to check it out?" Meixu asked as she raised the bag to her view.


    Hearing that she had a gift for her, Jasmine became hyperactive and asked to see what she bit for her.


    Meixu went on to take out her tiara and helped to ce it on her head. "Now, let''s see what a beautiful princess you look like in it." She said as she guided her to go and see herself in the mirror.


    "Wow!" Jasmine eximed excitedly with her gaze on the mirror. "I look like a princess." She added with a big smile on her face.


    "Of course, you look like a princess. I also got some other things for you." Meixu said to her.


    Jasmine turned to her saying, "Can I show this to my mummy and my daddy first?" She was referring to her tiara, and of course, Meixu allowed her to go.


    "Of course, you can, but Aunty is very busy, so I can not wait for you. How about you take this along with you." Meixu said as she handed the bag to her.


    The bag was not heavy, so the little girl could lift it, and if not, she was better off dragging it against the tiles.


    After passing the bag to the little girl, Meixu smiled and left. Jasmine''s room was upstairs, and so was her bedroom, but because we had something to do downstairs like going to find FangSu, she made her way downstairs.


    Lanying who has been feeling very angry since she came back to the house with her mother, was loitering about with different ns in her head.


    What was going on in her head was only known to her and when she felt tired, she went to get some snacks from the kitchen for herself.


    Since that day she disrespected the housekeeper, she doesn''t get things so easily in the house. If she sends a servant on an errand, it will take a while for them to get back to her.


    There was no need to pretend not to know why what was happening, was going on, but did she dare toin? No, she didn''t.


    On her way to the kitchen, she saw Meixuing down the stairs whileughing happily over the phone, and immediately hid behind a pir, as an idea struck her.


    It has been a while since shested posted a thing about the Fu family on her blog. Now that she was starting to be relevant in the blogging field, she couldn''t let it die just like that.


    So, she whipped out her phone and opened the camera app on her phone, turned off the shutter sound, and the shlight, before proceeding to zoom and secretly take photos of Meixu, before filming her."


    FangSu who was also looking for Meixu, called out her name as she walked over, but was in time to see Lanying hiding by the pir and quickly withdrawing her phone.


    "What are you doing there?!" FangSu said with a big frown as she quickly walked over.


    ''Oh no!'' Lanying thought that she was in trouble and quickly pressed her power button to turn off her phone, as she hid it behind her.


    Meixu who was almost at the foot of the stairs when she heard themotion, quickly ended the call and made her way over as well.


    "Did I just see you taking photos?" FangSu asked in a harsh voice while gazing at the frightened Lanying.


    "No!" Lanying denied quickly and tried to walk away, but FangSu dragged her back.


    "Where do you think you are going to?!"


    Just then, Meixu appeared and asked, "What''s going on? What did she do? Was she sneaking around and eavesdropping on my call?"


    FangSu nced at Meixu, "Not just that, but I also caught her taking photos of you."


    Meixu didn''t need to ask Lanying if what FangSu said was the truth, because FangSu would never lie to her about what she was, and besides, she has caught her sneaking around as well, and if she took pictures of her, then that wouldn''t be absurd.


    "Your phone," Meixu said with furrowed brows as she stretched out her hand towards Lanying.


    The only thing going on in Lanying''s head was how to escape from the two of them, but was that possible? She felt that she was in for big trouble if they should every their hands on her phone. So she didn''t want to give it out.


    Seeing her reluctance, FangSu grabbed from the side and immediately snatched her phone from her. When Lanying tried to take it back with panic on her face, Meixu pushed her aside.

 Chapter 735 Fu Juan fails to protect Lanying

    <h4>Chapter 735 Fu Juan fails to protect Lanying</h4>


    "She turned it off?" FangSu said with disbelief after touching the phone screen a few times and it refused to show any response.


    Meixu red at Lanying before ncing back at FangSu. "Turn it on," She said.


    Quickly, FangSu pressed the power button and impatiently watched the phone screen lit up, along with Meixu, while Lanying watched from the side in dilemma.


    Knowing what would happen if her phone was searched, Lanying began to plead with them.


    "I''m so sorry, I only wanted to take a few pictures of you, that''s all."


    Meixu scoffed and red at her, "I''m sure you don''t know my temper so well."


    "I would be a fishhead if I were to believe that this is your first time. Who knows how many of our pictures you must have taken secretly." FangSu said while pointing fingers at her.


    Lanying was not allowed to make a move. Meixu made sure that she stayed there till her phone finally turned on.


    "Now unlock it," FangSu said while holding out the phone towards her.


    Lanying refused to make a move. She said with tears in her eyes as she nced between them, "This is my privacy, and I can not allow you to search my phone. I will delete the pictures I just took right now."


    Meixu felt like pping her in this instance. She refused to believe that it was only her pictures that Lanying had on her phone, so the next second, she was already threatening her.


    "If you don''t unlock this phone this minute, you will be thrown out of this house this minute, and if I get a hacker to unlock this phone and see anything that will make you go to jail, you won''t escape it. Your mother will not be able to rescue you!"


    Even after Meixu said that Lanying refused to make a move and which made FangSu very angry.


    "Wow! Since you are so daft and want to make your case so big, then let''s make it big." FangSu said and immediately dragged her along


    "Where are you taking me to?!" Lanying cried out as she tried to struggle with FangSu, but she was too fierce, and Meixu even joined in at this juncture.


    Lanying was truly afraid now. If her blog sitees to light, she didn''t know how she would end up. Forget about bonding with the Fu family, she would be thrown out of the house first.


    She was beginning to regret the moment of impulse that led her to take photos of Meixu and some short videos.


    She had no idea that FangSu would being, and she was so carried away with recording Meixu that she didn''t hear any footsteps on time.


    Now that she was caught in this web, she had to face it.


    For the next few minutes, Lanying was surrounded by the Fu family members. She was kneeling on the tiles with her head down.


    When Fu Juan held about this, she immediately came out of her bedroom toe and mediate the matter.


    "Meixu and FangSu, why are you making this matterplicated? She has already apologized for taking photos of you, is it not enough?" Fu Juan asked with her gazes on the two Fu sisters.


    Fu Hee sneered, "Was she not taught the rules when she came in here? I specifically asked the housekeeper to educate her, and taking pictures and filming was a part of the rules."


    In essence, Fu Hee was asking the reason Lanying disobeyed the rules she gave to her, and if she had obeyed them, she wouldn''t have gotten into trouble.


    "But is this not unfair? Lanying is my daughter, and they are her cousins by rtion, so how is it bad to take photos of them?!" Fu Juan asked, and immediately she received a re from Meixu.


    "Aunt, please stay out of this matter to avoid you saying that I disrespected you," Meixu said with an angry gaze before turning to nce at everybody present.


    "If Lanying doesn''t unlock this phone right now, she will be thrown out of this house, and if someone can not ept the judgment, the person should leave with her!"


    Everyone knew who Meixu was referring to, and even Fu Juan knew she was the one, which made her very angry.


    "Are you by any chance referring to me?" She asked with a furious gaze.


    "Even you have admitted it when she didn''t mention anyone''s name." FangSu gloated. She was so angry with her Aunt that she couldn''t help making thatment.


    Before Fu Juan could pick up a fight and divert the topic, Fu Hua who has been quiet all this while, nced at Meixu and said with a clear tone that couldn''t be disputed.


    "Give her the phone to unlock."


    On the floor where she was kneeling, Lanying was covered in sweat. She could no longer cry now because this was the end for her.


    Fu Hua''smand was very simple, but the weight behind it, couldn''t be refuted. There was no need to disrespect him because it would make her situation worse, so she agreed but began to plot something else in her head.


    When Meixu passed the phone to her, She took it from her and input a long password that made Meixu think about how she managed to save it in her head, while also wondering what she was hiding.


    "Hua, it is really unfair and against thew to search someone''s phone, these days, you even need a warrant." Fu Juan spoke with a hurtful gaze.


    She felt disrespected by the entire members of the family and hurt by the way her daughter was being treated like a criminal.


    "Your daughter dared to intrude into my daughter''s privacy, so why can''t her phone be searched, who knows what else she is hiding." Fu ChuHua said and looked away.


    After Lanying input her password and her phone unlocked, Meixu quickly snatched the phone from her and opened her phone''s gallery.


    It didn''t even take a second for Meixu to see her photos and the short clips that were taken of her.

 Chapter 736 Fu Hua’s verdict

    <h4>Chapter 736 Fu Hua''s verdict</h4>


    After confirming that there were no other pictures she secretly clicked from any family member, Meixu said to her, "What were your intentions after clicking my photos?"


    Fu Juan had to interrupt at this juncture. Her eyes were red with anger as she spoke, "What kind of question is that? You have searched her phone and seen that she only clicked your photos, so what is wrong with you?"


    "Aunt, don''t make this matter any worse than it is. There must be an intention behind every action. You can''t tell me that she just felt like taking Meixu''s photos, without permission, and she had to be caught doing that sneakily." Fu Ling said with a calm demeanor.


    His facial expression was normal, but from his tone, you can tell that he was angry as well.


    Grandfather Fu, Fu Lei, and Fu Geming have remained mute in this matter and allowed the rest to handle it.


    Before Fu Juan or anyone else could cut in, Fu Hua issued an instruction to Meixu.


    "Even I would like to confirm something. Pass the phone to YingPei."


    Meixu red at Lanying one more time before passing the phone to the confused YingPei.


    "Brother, what do you want me to do with her phone?" He asked when the phonended in his hands.


    Fu Hua nced at him and said with a serious facial expression, "What''s the name of that blog that revealed my wife''s pregnancy?"


    "Spider," FangSu answered immediately.


    "You want me to check if she is the one?" YingPei asked with a knowing smile as he came to understand the reason Fu Hua wanted to phone to be handed to him.


    "Exactly!" Fu Hua said and leaned back on the couch.


    As for Lanying, she slid down on the floor. Now, she was no longer kneeling property, because her butts were now on the floor.


    Meixu saw her movement and asked with a taunting gaze, "Is it possible that you are the one?"


    Fu Juan could not watch anymore as she felt that her daughter was being used. "How could you use..."


    She was not even given a chance to finish her words when Fu Lei forced her to shut her mouth.


    "You''d better shut up, or leave this ce right now!" Fu Lei said authoritatively with a finger pointing at her.


    How could Fu Juan leave when she was not sure of what they would do to her daughter? She just stayed back and shut her mouth instead.


    Some minutester, YingPei looked up and said in a heavy tone, "She is Spider, I just saw her ount and details for the blog, she is the one behind it."


    "How can that be?" Fu Juan muttered to herself in surprise. She really couldn''t believe what was going on currently.


    Fu Hee scoffed and said, "You are asking how can it be? Simple family rules, she can''t follow."


    Fu Hua shifted his gaze to Lanying and asked with a deep annoyance in his tone, "Why would you reveal this kind of news without my permission?"


    "Why are you wasting your breath on her, she should be punished!" Fu ChuHua said from the side.


    At this point, there was nothing to hide again. Lanying had no choice but to start apologizing.


    "I''m sorry I didn''t mean to cause any harm. I just wanted to be the first to break the news to the outside world. I''m sorry that I didn''t think properly before taking the action."


    "Are you trying to tell us that you are ignorant? As a blogger, don''t you know the reason this news hasn''t made it to the Inte yet? Are you that dumb, or pretending to be one?" FangSu queried.


    Meixu added immediately, "Also, I saw the other post you made about good newsing from the Fu family, were you talking about my marriage? What were your ns with those photos you took of me?"


    Lanying look at her and thought, ''My ns? I would have edited the background on those photos and posted them on my blog along with the news of your wedding!''


    But She didn''t dare to say it out, instead, she apologized again.


    "I''m really sorry. I never had the intention to talk about your wedding from the beginning. That post I made was about it, but I was never going to say anything. As for the photos, I''m sorry for doing that without your permission. I just wanted to post a photo the others haven''t seen or posted before."


    "Are you trying to say that the Fu family is your base for making money?" Fu Geming asked with a sharp gaze on her.


    Lanying shook her head immediately and denied it. "It''s not like that. I have been running this blog for a while now, but I have never posted any negative news about the Fu family, and you can check my ount. Also, my ount hasn''t been mized."


    "I don''t care whether you are doing this for money or not! Your idea was already bad and had an evil intention when you did this discreetly. Although you are not releasing any negative news, the juicy ones you released recently, were against our wish. We didn''t want the news of that pregnancy outside." Fu Hee said with a re.


    Grandfather Fu finally spoke with his gaze on Fu Juan, "You have disappointed me several times that I have be immune to it."


    In an actual sense, he was saying that she didn''t know how to raise children.


    After saying that, Grandfather Fu left, and Fu Lei took over. "Miss Lanying here must be punished."


    Immediately she heard that Fu Juan began to cry and plead with everyone, including Lanying, but deep in her head, she was expecting something else to happen.


    "There is no use begging us because she must be taught a lesson," FangSu said.


    Fu Hua nced at YingPei and said to him, "Give the phone back to her, so she can totally erase the history of the blog."


    Fu Hua wanted her to delete it by herself, so she could feel more hurt for her actions.


    Lanying almost fainted when she heard Fu Hua''s verdict. She was almost about to be verified and start earning from it, but now, he was asking her to erase her years of hard work?

 Chapter 737 Her disappointment

    <h4>Chapter 737 Her disappointment</h4>


    Lanying knew she had no choice as everyone was ring at her. Even her mother couldn''t speak up after Fu Hua''s verdict came.


    It was as if everyone listens and agrees only with what he said.


    In the end, Lanying ended up deleting her blog ount, totally erasing every memory of it and down to its existence.


    After she did that, Fu Hua walked away. There was no need to waste his time there, as his wife was sleeping with his daughter in their bedroom, and seeing them would be the perfect medicine to soothe his anger.


    Meixu was the second person to leave the sitting room, and not after she gave out a clear instruction.


    "Lanying is banned from my wedding, and if Aunt thinks it''s unfair, she can choose to stay back as well."


    After fishing out those words in a clear audible voice, she stood up and walked away.


    Slowly, the rest of the family members started to leave as well. And Fu Hee was thest.


    "If your daughter dares to break the rules again, she will be kicked out of this family, not just the house as well." Fu Hee spat angrily before walking away.


    She was still vexed about Jia Li''s pregnancy revtion out there. And knowing it was Lanying''s doing, she was angrier.


    Right now, only Fu Juan and Lanying we''re left in the sitting room. Thetter was still crying her eyes out, while the former found a ce to sit with a helpless gaze on her.


    "Why did you do that? Fu Hee said you were told the rules, then why did you have to disobey her?" Fu Juan asked in a solemn tone.


    The only thing that coulde out of Lanying''s mouth, were words of apology. She kept saying she was sorry and that she didn''t mean to cause any harm.


    Fu Juan sighed tiredly and said to her, "You should have avoided anything that would bring hatred upon you. You already know their attitude towards us, yet you went on to make things worse. Do you think that there will be any remedy to this?"


    Just some hours ago, she was telling her to get on good terms with her cousins, but she ended up making their rtionship irreconcble a few hourster.


    Lanying didn''t say anything as her heart was too bitter and seeing that she wasn''t saying anything, Fu Juan got to her feet and said, "Go back to your room and rest. Don''te down for dinner, I will ask someone to send it to you."


    As she finished saying that, she turned to leave, but Lanying stopped her with a question.


    "Mum, by being myself, I failed to get everyone here to like me. Do you think the situation would have been different if you didn''t adopt me? Would they have loved me if I were your flesh and blood?"


    Fu Juan was very angry when she heard that question. She squeezed her fists tightly as she turned to give Lanying a death re.


    "Don''t you ever ask this kind of question again! No matter what our rtionship is, it wouldn''t change anything because my family does not like me, so how can they like you?"


    Once Fu Juan three that question out, she walked away without turning back or replying to the apology that came from Lanying thereafter.


    As everyone was gone, Lanying stayed on the floor for a few minutes more, crying until she could no longer cry anymore, and inky then did she wipe her tears and struggled to get up.


    Then, she gave a good look at the sitting room before making her way towards her bedroom.


    ''Lanying, cry no more! This is thest time you should shed tears for anyone or any situation, you have cried enough. Since no one loves and recognizes you, show them all of what you are capable of.'' Lanying encouraged herself as she walked along the hallway with a straight gaze.


    When Fu Hua returned to the bedroom, Jia Li and Jasmine were already awake and ying happily. Immediately he saw them, he forgot all about his anger and smiled and went to join them.


    Soon, Jasmineined that she was hungry, so Jia Li had to call her Nanny toe and take her out for an appetizer since dinner would be ready in the next hour.


    After Jasmine left, Fu Hua found the right opportunity to tell Jia Li about Lanying. When Jia Li heard that she was the one behind her pregnancy news leaking on the inte, there was disappointment in her gaze.


    "Why would she do something like that? I''m not against her having a blog rted to the family, but why would she go to the extent of releasing confidential information? She is not acting as a member of the family." Jia Li said with a frown.


    "I don''t know what that girl''s deal is, but she had better not try this kind of act again otherwise she will face the consequences." Fu Hua said with furrowed brows.


    Asking her to delete her blog ount was not a big enough punishment for her, but in that situation, it was the worst situation that could be given.


    No one can bear the pain of erasing his or her sess story, an hard work about to yield fruit, or ready yielding fruit, so what he made her do, was very painful.


    "I just hope she learns her lesson, or it wouldn''t be funny." Fu Hua added.


    Jia Li sighed and said, "I hope this was just a mistake from her side and nothing more."


    During dinner, Lanying was absent and nobody asked about her since they were still angry over the earlier incident.


    As for Fu Fu Juan, she was present. She ate heartily and even asked a servant to send Lanying''s food to her room, but some minutester, the same servant came back with this tray of food left untouched.


    Lanying refused to eat and asked her to send the food away.


    "At least she knows how to reject food out of guilt," Meixu said with a daring gaze at Fu Juan.


    It was as if she was waiting for her to say something, so she could finish her off with her words, but Fu Juan chose to ignore her.

 Chapter 738 Walking down the aisle

    <h4>Chapter 738 Walking down the aisle</h4>


    "Looks like Aunt is bing smart," FangSu whispered to Meixu, after seeing their Aunt remain quiet when deliberately being provoked, which was unlike her.


    "Who cares?" Meixu sneered and picked up her chopsticks.


    After dinner, Fu Juan dropped by Lanying''s bedroom. She knocked once on the door before opening it and stepping in.


    Lanying was sitting on her bed with her gaze at the window. She had her phone in her hand, but she was lost in thought.


    That was the scene Fu Juan saw when she came in. "Why did you reject the food I sent to you? You are making the family think bad about you."


    Lanying shifted her gaze in her direction and replied with a weak tone, "I didn''te out for dinner because I''m not hungry, and you asked me not to. There was no need to ept the food when I know I wouldn''t touch it."


    "You should have at least touched the food." Fu Juan insisted.


    "It wouldn''t have made sense to touch the food and abandon it. That would be a waste and I don''t want anyone cursing at me." Lanying retorted and looked away.


    Fu Juan sighed and gazed at her with pity. This was one of the rarest times she has seen her exchanging words with her.


    The other times, she usually epts everything she tells her.


    ''It looks like she is upset, and I was harsh with my words earlier.'' Fu Juan thought to herself.


    "Are you still feeling bad about what happened earlier? This is the lesson you should learn, and we are lucky you were not asked to leave." Fu Juan said to her in a calm tone.


    Lanying nced back at her and replied, "Mum, I have learned my lesson. I will no longer force anyone to like me, or beg for my attention."


    Fu Juan didn''t know why she felt ufortable with her reply. She couldn''t pinpoint what was wrong, but she still epted her decision.


    "It will be good to lie low and ignore everything that is happening. You heard from Meixu that she doesn''t permit you toe to her wedding. I can''t even plead for you because nobody will listen to me, and I might get thrown under the bus. It''s such a pity that you can''t wear that beautiful dress I got specifically for this party."


    Thinking about how much she spent to doll Lanying up, Fu Juan was upset, but she didn''t have anyone to scold or vent her anger on.


    "Mum, I don''t care about the wedding now. Before, I really wanted to attend it, but since I am not weed, I will save myself the stress." Lanying said andid on her bed before covering her entire body with the sheets.


    "Good night." She said in an inaudible tone.


    Fu Juan didn''t have the strength to continue arguing with her, so she sighed and reminded her toe for breakfast the next day before leaving.


    "Remember, you can''t bete for breakfast tomorrow. Don''t give anyone any reason to nitpick on you."


    As the sound of the door shutting was heard, Lanying pulled off the sheets over her head and gazed at the door with a sneer.


    The next morning, Lanying came out for breakfast. She was on time and made sure to go before Fu Juan, to avoid everyone thinking that she needed her mother''s help toe out because of guilt.


    During breakfast, Lanying was very quiet. She ate at her own pace and only left when she was done eating.


    "Lanying get dressed, we are going to the orphanage in the next 2 hours." Fu Juan spoke as she was about to leave.


    "Okay," Came Lanying''s reply before she turned around and left.


    Over the next few days, Lanying''s voice was not heard, and nor was anyint made against her.


    It was as if she no longer existed, onlying out when it was time to eat, and asionally taking walks along thewn, but nobody cared about her, apart from Fu Juan.


    Meixu''s wedding was happening the next day, so the entire Fu family members were busy.


    Currently, Jia Li was helping FangSu and the servants to wrap the gifts for the guests. Jasmine who was ying all by herself felt that their activity was interesting and came to help, but she git cajoled by her mother, to sit at a ce and watch them.


    After watching for a while, Jasmine demanded to know the reason she was not allowed to help.


    "Mummy, are you afraid I wouldn''t get it right?"


    "Not exactly. This is not the work children of your age should be doing. Go and okay with Ocean, okay?" Jia Li said with a helpless gaze on her, before carrying in with her work.


    Jasmine sighed and continued sitting there, no longer disturbing them. She felt that it was more interesting to watch them, than going to y with Ocean.


    FangSu smiled at the cute little girl andforted her. "Da Xia, your birthday ising up in 2 months. When that timees, you will help to wrap your birthday presents."


    "Really? That will be so much fun. Will you help me?" Jasmine asked with a sweet smile.


    "Of course, our Da Xia will be helped by everyone," FangSu said to her with a wink.


    Jia Li watched them converse and couldn''t help by smile. Her little girl was growing every day, and she looked so beautiful.


    After wrapping a good number of gifts, there were only a few left, so FangSu turned to the little girl to ask, "Da Xia, tomorrow is the wedding, do you want me to show you how to walk down the aisle?"


    Jasmine nodded and quickly got off her seat. She looked very excited to learn about her steps in walking down the aisle.


    "How do you know how to walk down the aisle, have you had a wedding before?" Jia Li teased.


    "It''s because I will soon have a wedding that I practiced this several times," FangSu said with a proud gaze.


    "Fine, you will be a better teacher than I, since you can''t wait for your day to reach." Jia Li replied.


    FangSu pretended to be annoyed and called out, "Sister-inw!"

 Chapter 739 Wedding Bells

    <h4>Chapter 739 Wedding Bells</h4>


    The next day, the wedding bells were already ringing from the Fu family house.


    Because of Meixu''s special day, the entire house was decorated with wedding items and melodious songs signifying what kind of celebration it is, yed in the background.


    Early in the morning, Meixu was already up. Her eyes looked tired, but her body was not. She never knew that she would be unable to get some sleep a day to her special day.


    If counting seriously how many hours of sleep she managed to get, it wouldn''t even reach an hour.


    She kept on seeing scenes of her own wedding each time she closed her eyes and tried to force herself to sleep.


    No matter how she tried to distract her thoughts, she failed. She could only leave her fate to her thoughts.


    Meixu didn''t need anyone to wake her up that morning because she has long been waiting for the day to break.


    Just as she got off the bed, FangSu and Fu ChuHua stepped into her bedroom.


    When FangSu saw her eyes, she sighed and said, "I don''t think the bride-to-be even got a wink of sleepst night. Aunty, let''s get her dressed."


    FangSu said thest part of her sentence with her gaze on Fu ChuHua.


    Fu ChuHua responded with a smile and pped her hands. The servants who were standing outside the door got that as a sign to step in, and so, they walked in with some items in their hands.


    When they met Meixu''s surprise gaze, they bowed slightly before continuing in their steps towards her bathroom.


    "Am I receiving a special bath section today?" Meixu asked.


    "Of course. Today is your special day, let''s bring out your best look." FangSu said with a wink.


    While Meixu was getting ready, Jia Li was also personally helping Jasmine to get ready.


    Jasmine seemed annoyed to have been woken up from her sleep so early in the morning. The little girl was currently crying without being beaten, just because her mother wanted to bathe her.


    "Jasmine, I''m telling you to stop crying, but you don''t want to listen. Do you want to be an ugly little bride?" Jia Li asked as she took off her clothes and carried her into her bathroom.


    Jasmine''s response was to continue crying. No matter how much effort she put in to make her stop crying, it didn''t work.


    Atst, Jia Li had to bathe her quickly before asking her servant to get her dressed, while she sat on the bed with a deep sigh.


    When Fu Hua walked in, he saw Jasmine cleaning her tears with her gaze on her mother.


    "Who hit my little princess?" Fu Hua asked as he lifted the half-dressed little girl in his arms.


    On hearing that questions, Jasmine immediately pointed toward Jia Li''s direction. And Jia Li couldn''t help chuckling at her actions.


    "Your mummy hit you?" Fu Hua nced at Jia Li before moving his fake surprising have back to the little girl in his arms.


    Jasmine didn''t respond, but only continued to gaze at her mother before looking away and lowering her head to her father''s shoulder.


    Her mother didn''t hit her, so how could she say that? The little girl understood what beating meant so she couldn''t lie.


    Since she didn''t respond and surrendered to him, Fu Hua kissed her forehead andforted her. When she was finally calm and willing to leave his embrace he finished dressing her up by himself.


    ncing at herself in the mirror, the little girl inspected her dress with interest before asking for her tiara.


    Seeing how much of in a hurry she was, Jia Li asked her to calm down and wait for the hairstylist toe and do her hair.


    When the hairstylist came over, she did a simple hairstyle for Jasmine and helped her with light make-up for toddlers, before cing her tiara on her head.


    Now, the little girl was free to move about. Jasmine looked so beautiful in her white little bride''s dress.


    In between dressing up, her Nanny fed her some food, so she was not hungry, but half an hour before they were to leave the house, she was fed some light healthy snacks.


    No one wanted the little girl to get hungry and start crying for it. First of all, it wasn''t normal, and secondly, her cries were annoying.


    There was a specially customized handbag Jasmine was carrying, but what she didn''t know, was that her mother had put a few pieces of chocte in them.


    The reason Jia Li did not let her know about it, was so that her thoughts wouldn''t be on it, and make her distracted and impatient with it.


    The only reason Jia Li put those pieces of choctes in her bag, was so that she could hand them to her when she was tired.


    Currently, all the members of the Fu family were already dressed and were on their way outside when Fu Juan walked over, dressed in the outfit she had long prepared for the special day.


    No one said anything to her apart from when they were all getting into their cars, arranged in a convoy.


    Fu Juan had to join Grandfather Fu in one car, under the instruction of Fu Lei.


    Together, the entire Fu family left in 6 cars, while Lanying watched from the window as she gripped the curtains.


    Immediately the cars disappeared from her sight, she screamed out of frustration and muttered angrily, "Should I hold my own wedding and not invite any one of you?!"


    She was very pissed that she was deserted, and instead of ming it on herself for her previous actions, she med it on the entire Fu family.


    After getting angry, She left her room and went to the dining room to seat and ordered for breakfast.


    "I want to try on every dish that was prepared today, I feel a little nostalgic and don''t know what exactly to eat," Lanying said with a calm face at the servant before her.


    The servant looked a little lost and was about to reply to her, but the housekeeper appeared, which gave her a deep relief.

 Chapter 740 keep an eye on her

    <h4>Chapter 740 keep an eye on her</h4>


    "The owner of the house is out, but you are already giving orders?" The housekeeper asked.


    Lanying scoffed and said, "I shouldn''t starve because the owner of the house is not around right? Or are you going to bully me because no one is here to keep a tight watch on you?"


    The housekeeper smiled and said to the servant now standing at the side, "You will take care of her meals today. Give her what the rest of the family had for breakfast, and during lunch, you can give her a bowl of rice, a bowl of soup, and 2 side dishes. But if she would prefer noodles, get it ready for her."


    After giving out the instructions, the housekeeper turned around to leave, but Lanying''s next words stopped her in her tracks.


    "Do I look like a beggar for you not to give me a full course meal for lunch?"


    "For disobeying the household rules, you should be starved for a whole day and your sry cut if you are receiving any, but I''m surprised that no one punished you for that." The housekeeper replied.


    Lanying pped her hands on the table and said, "How dare you?! I was made to delete a part of my life''s achievement, and you stand there and tell me that I wasn''t punished?!"


    Lanying was fuming mad and her res were ready to burn a hole through the housekeeper''s head if it had that power.


    "That was a punishment for keeping a blog like that, that revealed confidential information of the family members. You were not punished for breaking the rules of taking photos inside the house, least alone, that of a family member."


    After saying that to her, the housekeeper smiled and left.


    Truly, Lanying was not punished for going against the family rules. She was only punished for the blog she kept.


    But Lanying thought otherwise. She was so angry with the housekeeper and felt like hitting her right face, but she was powerless in that area and could only grit her teeth and watched as she walked away.


    Anyway, even if she had that power, she couldn''t do as she wished. After all, she was on the Fu family''s grounds.


    Lanying was angry, but most importantly sue was very hungry, so she had to ask for her breakfast to be brought to her.


    She couldn''t believe that the entire family has a light breakfast before leaving. She could only eat after sneering.


    At the church where the wedding was taking ce, the fu family members all stepped out of the car and walked into the church to join the family of the groom.


    As for Jasmine, she stayed behind with FangSu and Meixu.


    Before going into the church, Shi Qiao and Meixu met briefly.


    "I can''t believe that you would look so gorgeous on this day." Shi Qiao said in admiration.


    The way he was looking at Meixu was filled with love as if he couldn''t wait for the ceremony to be over so he can spend time with her.


    "I have always looked good and of course, it will be normal to look even better this day," Meixu said with a confident smile.


    "You are right, you have always looked beautiful." Shi Qiao said before leaning in suddenly to steal a quick kiss from her lips.


    Before Meixu could push him, he had already stepped back with his hands raised. "We will continue tonight after the wedding party," He said with a wink before turning to walk away.


    Meixu chuckled softly as she watched him walk away.


    Some minutester, it was time for the Wedding match.


    Shi Qiao walked in first as a wedding song yed for him. Next, Jasmine went on. The little girl had learned from her Aunt Su how she should walk in, and she did that gracefully.


    Jasmine received apuse from both families. The little girl looked so cute and couldn''t be ignored.


    At that moment, Jia Li and Fu Hua felt very proud of their baby daughter.


    Meixu was thest to walk in with her father. There was a small smile ying on her lips as she walked in with her gaze on Shi Qiao who was already waiting for her at the altar.


    Both families got to their feet with their gazes on the beautiful bride as she made her way in. Once she got to the altar and her father, Fu Geming shook hands with Shi Qiao, there was a round of apuse for them.


    Because of how Meixu wanted her wedding to be, only both families were present in the church for the vows.


    Finally, Meixu and Shi Qiao exchanged rings and were dered husband and wife in front of their families.


    Two hourster, the wedding moved from the church to the wedding venue where most of the wedding guests were already sitting and waiting for them.


    There were about 200 hundred guests present for the wedding, and music was already ying with some light refreshments served to the guests.


    After three hours long of wedding celebration, the event came to an end with the couples giving a vote of thanks to their families and friends who were present to partake in their joy.


    When the guests started to leave, FangSu went to whisper some words to Meixu''s ears.


    "When are you moving outpletely from the house so I can help you send your things over?"


    Fu Meixu scoffed and said to her, "I thought you had something important to say. Don''t touch my things, while I''m away."


    A smile hung on FangSu''s face as she said, "My words are very important. If you ever need help sending your things to you, I am here."


    Meixu looked away from her and said in a low voice, "Keep your eyes on that girl, I will be back soon."


    FangSu looked confused as she asked, "What are youing back for? To visit?" But Meixu do not reply to her, and instead, went off to greet a guest.


    FangSu didn''t dwell much on her words and went to go find her fiance Zhang Junjie whole she abandoned to go make fun of Meixu.

 Chapter 741 I am impatient

    <h4>Chapter 741 I am impatient</h4>


    When most of the guests finished leaving, the Fu family gave Meixu a grand farewell by escorting her to her new home with Shi Qiao.


    Everyone was tired after the wedding, but it would be too early to retire because some guests were also trooping into the Fu family house to continue with the after-party.


    Fu Hee was ready for another grand reception, so the kitchen was already prepared with different mouth-watering dishes to soothe everyone''s pte.


    This was one of the reasons Lanying asked the servant to bring every dish they had prepared because she knew that there was such a grand gesture.


    Finally, at night, everyone got to have a good night''s sleep, except for the newlywed couples who had fun until dawn.


    They have been celibate and have been looking forward to this day.


    While the entire Fu family and Shi Qiao''s family were probably getting a good night''s rest, the inte was on fire because of Meixu''s sudden marriage.


    They didn''t even know she was dating but had already guessed it. When she got engaged they didn''t know, but they were only finding out about the wedding after it was over.


    Keyboard fighters were restless and couldn''t helpmenting having missed out on the good part.


    The next morning, Meixu''s wedding appeared on the cover page of many newspapers. Bloggers carried the news of her surprise wedding.


    Some spected if it was a shotgun wedding because f the secrecy. Some wondered if the wedding was true because they could not believe that Meixu would keep such a secret.


    Those thinking that Meixu had a shotgun wedding, hit their answers two dayster when Meixu and Shi Qiao posted a picture of them at the beach.


    The two love birds were on their honeymoon, and almost ruining every single day of it, for the singles.


    Spreading their love on the inte, was like a bite to the singles nation, and an itch for them to get married.


    In everything that was going on, no one remembered the blog belonging to Lanying, spider. No one remembered that the blog had once predicted that a piece of good news would being from the Fu family.


    This irritated Lanying a lot that she couldn''t help cursing. "Am I that invisible?"


    It was as if no matter what she did, she would never be recognized. Her heart felt so painful that she felt like bursting into tears, but she couldn''t.


    She promised that she was not going to shed another tear, and it looks like she was living up to her promise.


    Meixu''s wedding was done and dusted, now, Jia Li could get plenty of rest.


    She felt lucky that she didn''t have to struggle with her little daughter in order to get the clothes off her body.


    Jia Li had to do this herself because of how persistent Jasmine could be. She has in mind to call her father over if she was refused, but luckily, she didn''t have to sweat it this time around.


    When Jia Li returned to her bedroom, Fu Hua was already lying in bed and gazing at her with a big smile on his face.


    Jia Li pouted and said as she got into bed, "I just hope that you are not getting any funny ideas this night. Your wife is exhausted, I don''t even have the energy for a massage, I just want toy on the ned and close my eyes."


    "Don''t think too much, even I am tired, but not to your level. I''m in a good mood because I want to ask when we are going for the doctor''s appointment for the ultrasound scan?" Fu Hua seemed to be excited as he threw that question.


    He looked a bit impatient, or more expectant.


    From his response, there was no need to panic, so Jia li turned her body over and fixed her gaze on him.


    "I was thinking about going tomorrow, but I just want to rest all through tomorrow. My muscles are weak, and I would be needing to go to the spa, so maybe in two days?"


    "No, that''s far. Don''t worry, I promise you would get a premium treatment from me tomorrow. We will rest all through, but towards evening, we would go to the doctor." Fu Hua said.


    Two days? That was very far. If it wasn''t sote already, and if she was not so exhausted, he would have taken her to the hospital already.


    Jia Li stared right into his eyes without saying anything, and that made Fu Hua think that she was getting the wrong idea, so he quickly exined.


    "I promise, I''m not going to cross the line. I won''t touch you or arouse you. This is my promise to you."


    A faint smile appeared on Jia Li''s lips as she went into his arms and said with her eyes closed, "You can''t wait to meet your child, can you?"


    Fu Hua embraced her and said, "You are right, I am impatient."


    Meeting his child that Jia Li was talking about, was through the scan. At least, thru would get to see their baby and see its growth in thest few weeks.


    Jia Li smiled even more and agreed to his pleadings. They were going to the hospital tomorrow to see their baby.


    Fu Hua was ted and could finally fall asleep in peace.


    The next day, Fu Hua treated Jia Li like an empress. He served her with everything she needed and didn''t let her do a thing apart from bathing herself and continuing with her collections project.


    Even when his cute little princess wanted her mother''s attention, Fu Hua didn''t let her.


    Towards evening, Fu Hua notified his mother of their destination, before leaving with Jia Li and Jasmine.


    Fu Hua wanted the little girl to witness a good moment, and be a part of the process of her younger one''s existence in the world, so he let here with them.


    At the hospital, the family of three didn''t have to wait for long before they were called into the doctor''s office.


    They had booked an appointment before, so they were right on time.

    <h4>Chapter 742 I am impatient</h4>


    When most of the guests finished leaving, the Fu family gave Meixu a grand farewell by escorting her to her new home with Shi Qiao.


    Everyone was tired after the wedding, but it would be too early to retire because some guests were also trooping into the Fu family house to continue with the after-party.

    This was one of the reasons Lanying asked the servant to bring every dish they had prepared because she knew that there was such a grand gesture.


    Finally, at night, everyone got to have a good night''s sleep, except for the newlywed couples who had fun until dawn.


    They have been celibate and have been looking forward to this day.


    While the entire Fu family and Shi Qiao''s family were probably getting a good night''s rest, the inte was on fire because of Meixu''s sudden marriage.


    They didn''t even know she was dating but had already guessed it. When she got engaged they didn''t know, but they were only finding out about the wedding after it was over.


    Keyboard fighters were restless and couldn''t helpmenting having missed out on the good part.


    The next morning, Meixu''s wedding appeared on the cover page of many newspapers. Bloggers carried the news of her surprise wedding.


    Some spected if it was a shotgun wedding because f the secrecy. Some wondered if the wedding was true because they could not believe that Meixu would keep such a secret.


    Those thinking that Meixu had a shotgun wedding, hit their answers two dayster when Meixu and Shi Qiao posted a picture of them at the beach.


    The two love birds were on their honeymoon, and almost ruining every single day of it, for the singles.


    Spreading their love on the inte, was like a bite to the singles nation, and an itch for them to get married.


    In everything that was going on, no one remembered the blog belonging to Lanying, spider. No one remembered that the blog had once predicted that a piece of good news would being from the Fu family.


    This irritated Lanying a lot that she couldn''t help cursing. "Am I that invisible?"


    It was as if no matter what she did, she would never be recognized. Her heart felt so painful that she felt like bursting into tears, but she couldn''t.


    She promised that she was not going to shed another tear, and it looks like she was living up to her promise.


    Meixu''s wedding was done and dusted, now, Jia Li could get plenty of rest.


    She felt lucky that she didn''t have to struggle with her little daughter in order to get the clothes off her body.


    Jia Li had to do this herself because of how persistent Jasmine could be. She has in mind to call her father over if she was refused, but luckily, she didn''t have to sweat it this time around.


    When Jia Li returned to her bedroom, Fu Hua was already lying in bed and gazing at her with a big smile on his face.


    Jia Li pouted and said as she got into bed, "I just hope that you are not getting any funny ideas this night. Your wife is exhausted, I don''t even have the energy for a massage, I just want toy on the ned and close my eyes."


    "Don''t think too much, even I am tired, but not to your level. I''m in a good mood because I want to ask when we are going for the doctor''s appointment for the ultrasound scan?" Fu Hua seemed to be excited as he threw that question.


    He looked a bit impatient, or more expectant.


    From his response, there was no need to panic, so Jia li turned her body over and fixed her gaze on him.


    "I was thinking about going tomorrow, but I just want to rest all through tomorrow. My muscles are weak, and I would be needing to go to the spa, so maybe in two days?"


    "No, that''s far. Don''t worry, I promise you would get a premium treatment from me tomorrow. We will rest all through, but towards evening, we would go to the doctor." Fu Hua said.


    Two days? That was very far. If it wasn''t sote already, and if she was not so exhausted, he would have taken her to the hospital already.


    Jia Li stared right into his eyes without saying anything, and that made Fu Hua think that she was getting the wrong idea, so he quickly exined.


    "I promise, I''m not going to cross the line. I won''t touch you or arouse you. This is my promise to you."


    A faint smile appeared on Jia Li''s lips as she went into his arms and said with her eyes closed, "You can''t wait to meet your child, can you?"


    Fu Hua embraced her and said, "You are right, I am impatient."


    Meeting his child that Jia Li was talking about, was through the scan. At least, thru would get to see their baby and see its growth in thest few weeks.


    Jia Li smiled even more and agreed to his pleadings. They were going to the hospital tomorrow to see their baby.


    Fu Hua was ted and could finally fall asleep in peace.


    The next day, Fu Hua treated Jia Li like an empress. He served her with everything she needed and didn''t let her do a thing apart from bathing herself and continuing with her collections project.


    Even when his cute little princess wanted her mother''s attention, Fu Hua didn''t let her.


    Towards evening, Fu Hua notified his mother of their destination, before leaving with Jia Li and Jasmine.


    Fu Hua wanted the little girl to witness a good moment, and be a part of the process of her younger one''s existence in the world, so he let here with them.


    At the hospital, the family of three didn''t have to wait for long before they were called into the doctor''s office.


    They had booked an appointment before, so they were right on time.

 Chapter 743 Grandeur reception

    <h4>Chapter 743 Grandeur reception</h4>


    Some minutester, Fu Hua and Jia Li couldn''t believe their eyes. They were currently ncing at the monitor and seeing two fetuses in thetter''s womb.


    Even the doctor was ted while pointing things out for them on the monitor.


    Fu Hua could no longer hide his excitement after discovering they were having twins. He screamed in excitement and embraced Jia Li who was stillying on the bed.


    "We are having twins!!" He screamed excitedly.


    Jia Li was so happy that her eyes because teary. She couldn''t believe that there were two humans growing inside of her. No wonder her stomach was growing so fast, and she thought that the pregnancy was just different, not knowing that difference was a huge deal.


    Jasmine who was sitting on the bed and watching her parents get all excited looked confused. She didn''t understand what having twins meant.


    Fu Hua had to exin to the little girl that she was getting two siblings before she reacted in surprise.


    "Really? how would they manage to fit into mummy''s stomach?" Jasmine asked with a wowed expression.


    "Your mummy''s stomach will grow big to amodate them." The doctor replied to her in a gentle tone.


    "Wow! You mean my Mummy''s stomach would grow this big?" Jasmine asked as she demonstrated with her hands, and the doctor nodded in response.


    Jasmine became quiet as she nced at her mother''s bare stomach and looked back at the monitor to see the two fetuses in her womb.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua couldn''t help chuckling hard at their daughter''s cute expressions of surprise.


    After getting a few tips from the doctor, Fu Hua asked when they could learn about their babies'' gender, and the doctor gave them another appointment in the following weeks toe.


    On their way back home, Fu Hua was smiling from ear to ear. "Mum will be very happy to hear this news, sci everyone would not be able to resist not shopping for our babies." He said in an excited tone.


    Jia Li chuckled and said, "If you are this excited about our babies, what about me the mother?"


    "I don''t think you can be more excited than I am right now. Our efforts in bed have really paid off!" Fu Hua teased her with hisst sentence.


    Jia Li couldn''t help hitting his arm as she nced at the little girl who looked very busy fixing her gaze on them and listening to their chat.


    She couldn''t believe that he would say a dirty joke right in front of their curious daughter who was always asking questions.


    "Did you forget we have a child here?" She scolded.


    Fu Hua pretended to gave been hurt by the light hit from her, and apologized.


    "Today is a happy day for us, tell me anything you want, and I will get it done. Jasmine, tell daddy what you want, and I will get it for you."


    Jia Li seemed excited that she was given this chance. Although she didn''tck anything because her family always knew that to get her, having the privilege and opportunity to be granted a request, wasn''t an everyday thing.


    The little girl said that she wanted to buy gifts for her younger siblings, and asked for some of the money she has been receiving as gifts from them, and the others.


    "You are already so generous to younger ones. You will be a good big sister." Fu Hua said as he rubbed her head.


    As for Jia Li, there was no need to request for anything today because no matter what she wanted at any time, he would do it for her.


    Fu Hua was more than a father Christmas to her, someone who grayed her wishes at any time she came to him.


    Fu Hua ended up calling Fu Hee to break the good news to her, as he couldn''t wait for them to get home. His excitement knew no bounds.


    When Fu Hee heard the good news, she screamed in surprise and ended the call immediately.


    Fu Hua was not surprised by her actions because he knew that her next step was going to be. Even Jia Li who heard her mother-inw''s shout of excitement knew what she was going to do next.


    Immediately after she ended the call, Fu Hee ran towards Grandfather Fu''s study shouting that Jia Li and Fu Hua were expecting things.


    Before she could get to the old man''s study, all the servants and the members of the family had already heard the news.


    Atst, when she made it into the old man''s study and broke the news to him, the old man who didn''t seem to be in a joyous mood because of a report, leaped to his feet for joy.


    He even had to confirm for himself if he heard clearly.


    "Where did you hear this from?" He asked with a huge smile on his face.


    "Hua just called me. He went to the hospital with Jia Li for an appointment with their doctor. They are on their way back!" Fu Hee said excitedly.


    "This is good news! What are you waiting for? Go to the kitchen and let them prepare a festive meal for this celebration. Get the servants to put up a little decoration to wee them home. Jia Li and Fu Hua must be received in a grand wee today!" The old man dered.


    There were no twins in his lineage, so he has never dwelt much on the thought of seeing a twin in his generation, but lo and behold, his grandson and granddaughter-inw decided to shock him with good news.


    Fu Hee received the old man''s instructions and went away as quickly as possible.


    For the next hour, the entire family was getting things ready to wee Jia Li and Fu Hua back home.


    It''s not like the babies have been born, this was just an ultrasound check and scan they went for, and they were already receiving this kind of treatment.


    Then if the babies were to be born, that means they would even receive a grandeur treatment, the royal treatment.

 Chapter 744 Congratulatory Messges

    <h4>Chapter 744 Congrattory Messges</h4>


    When Jia Li and Fu Hua returned to the Fu house, they received a grandeur wee. YingPei released some fireworks, while FangSu sprayed some flowers on them.


    Jia Li was shocked by their mboyant wee, and couldn''t help feeling grateful for having them as a part of her life.


    It''s not just Jia Li and Fu Hua that were congratted and given special treatment, their little bun was not left out.


    Lanying was in her bedroom ying with her phone when she heard the ruckus and decided toe out to see for herself.


    She didn''t understand what was going on, and had to ask a servant who revealed the good news to her, and asked her to join the rest of the family at the dinner table.


    "Oh!" That was the only word that escaped from her lips.


    She didn''t look angry or happy, her countenance was just neutral. Like it wasn''t any of her business. Still, she went to the dining room to join the rest of the family in the little celebration of the good news.


    Grandfather Fu ordered the aged wine he treasured so much which he received from a good friend of his to be opened.


    Aged wine was opened, and Champagne was popped, all to celebrate the good news.


    Sitting around the table and surrounded by family and good food, was indeed a wonderful feeling.


    "I can''t wait to start informing my friends of this good news. They would be filled with jealousy." Fu Hee said with a big smile.


    "You are still waiting? I already called two of my friends." Fu Lei said happily.


    Immediately he heard the news during his wife''s announcement, he didn''t wait to confirm if he heard clearly and quickly made a call to hisrades to break the news to them.


    "You are so fast!" Fu Hee chided him.


    Grandfather Fu added, "I already called old Huang, they areing over tomorrow for another little celebration."


    "Wow! So we youngsters are the ones missing out." YingPei said with a surprised gaze at the old man and his father.


    "It will be better to start calling everybody," FangSu said with a smile.


    Since everyone was going around informing their friends, she couldn''t be left behind, but her father ended up bursting her bubbles.


    "You can''t do that yet, wait for your brother''s permission. The only people outside our family who knows of this news, will not spread it."


    In essence, Fu Lei was saying that any news given to the military is confidential, and the Huang family, being Jia Li''s family, would not release that news unless they gave them the sign.


    FangSu''s face fell and she turned her gaze back to her food.


    Fu Hua who still had a smile on his face said, "For now, Jia Li and I want the news to remain in the family until we make the official announcement ourselves. We already have ns for it."


    Fu Hua was still keen on sticking to their initial ns.


    FangSu heard what her brother said and scoffed while ncing in Lanying''s direction. "Brother, are you not scared that someone amongst us will secretly spread this news just likest time?"


    Lanying heard that and nced at FangSu. When their gazes met, she looked away with a calm gaze.


    Fu Hua and every other person sitting around the table knew the hidden meaning in her words but didn''t say anything.


    "What is there to be afraid of? I never let my enemies off." Fu Hua said and picked up his cutlery to help Jasmine with her food.


    He had wanted to add, ''Even if theymit suicide, I will still resurrect them and teach them a good lesson.'' But he couldn''t say that as it was not proper, given the happy asion, and the fact that they were at the dinner table.


    Fu Hua was not afraid of anything, so Lanying was definitely out of the question.


    He was sure that she wouldn''t dare do anything like that again, so he didn''t even bother to think about it.


    FangSu smiled and went back to eating her food. There was a little awkwardness in the air, Fu Juan broke the silence by congratting Jia Li and Fu Hua on their twins.


    Jia Li replied with a smile, while Fu Hua hummed in response.


    Although Jia Li did not support all of Fu Juan''s past actions, she didn''t feel that it was her ce to keep animosity with her or shun her when she did not do anything to hurt her.


    The next person to congratte them was Fu Chua, followed by the rest of the family. As for Lanying, she did speak up, but not with vigor.


    Fu Huapletely ignored her, while Jia Li responded with, ''thanks''


    The next day, the Huang family visited to share the joyous news brought by Jia Li and Fu Hua. Your small ceremony was a little grand, but most importantly, it was lively.


    The Huang family used this opportunity to bond with Jia Li and Jasmine again, after giving out the gifts they came with.


    Not just the Huang family, but the Fu Family had already prepared gifts for Jia Li and Fu Hua. It was too early toe up with something immediately the previous day, given how the news came to them.


    Later in the evening after the Huang family left, the entire Fu family, went about their personal activities.


    Jasmine was outside on thewn ying with Ocean and her pups when she remembered her small house and decided to go over there.


    Ocean refused to follow her, and stayed back and watched her, and the pups go away.


    FangSu saw this from the window where she was watching and smiled. Then she decided toe downstairs to go find the little girl.


    Where Ocean was sitting alone, Lanying who came outside of the house for a walk, saw her and decided to go in her direction.


    When Ocean heard the approaching footsteps, and turned and saw Lanyinging over and started barking.


    Her sudden actions frightened Lanying, causing her to take a few steps backward.


    "What? You have failed to win the hearts of humans, so you go to find a dog now?" FangSu''s voice rang out from behind her, with ridicule in her tone.

 Chapter 745 Lanying intrudes

    <h4>Chapter 745 Lanying intrudes</h4>


    Lanying was surprised to see her when she turned around, but there was no fear in her eyes because there was nothing to be afraid of.


    Also, she has already promised to show everyone her true colors, so of course, there would be a sudden change in her character, actions, and words.


    Ocean was a familiar face and stopped backing. Then she got up and ran off towards the direction Jasmine had left with her pups, and in the guardian of her Nanny.


    Lanying gave FangSu a good nce before responding, "Since there is no reliable human to win over, animals are topping my list now."


    FangSu scoffed, "Good! You have learned how to reply, it looks like you have been suffocating for a long time hiding your true self."


    She was not that surprised by her new character, after all, she has never trusted that she was innocent. But staring into her eyes without fear, but with courage, annoyed her, but she. hose not to show it.


    Lanying smiled, "It''s good to have my freedom now and breathe in some fresh air."


    After saying that, Lanying walked back into the house as a smirk turned up on her lips.


    FangSu scoffed and watched her walk away. "She really has some nerves!" She said angrily with clenched fists.


    ''Where did Aunt get this girl from again?" FangSu thought.


    She was still in disbelief that Lanying would one day dare to speak to her in that manner. This was a big surprise to her.


    A few dayster, Lanying collided with Jia Li.


    When she felt that everyone had left the house, Lanying explored some of the ces in the house, while making sure that no servant was watching.


    She didn''t have any thoughts of stealing anything or taking pictures, she just wanted to take a good look at some of the rooms.


    She had the option of asking a servant to take her around, but she didn''t because she didn''t feel like doing the right thing.


    At this point, she didn''t care if she was caught and thrown out of the house, maybe that was what she sought for.


    Lanying was still exploring and saw theundry room, other visitors'' room, and the library before staring at a door. That was the remaining ce she hadn''t stepped foot into on the ground floor.


    With that knowledge in mind, she stepped forward, gently opened the door, and walked in.


    The room had good lighting and most importantly, she discovered it was a workshop, probably where Jia Li and Fu Hua worked on their designs while at home.


    She was still wowed at the room when she heard a soft sigh from her side.


    Out of instinct, the first thing she did was to turn in that direction in fear. She didn''t know that someone would be in that room.


    She had thought that everyone had left the house after breakfast, but who knew that she was wrong?


    Lanying panicked a little when she met Jia Li''s gaze. With a good nce at her, she could tell that her strong into the room had woken her up from sleep.


    Jia Li did not expect that Lanying would be the one to disturb her sleep. She had asked the servants not to disturb her while she worked, but she ended up feeling sleepy and had toy on the couch to rest.


    She still had more work to do, so she didn''t think of going to her bedroom to sleepfortably.


    Jia Li didn''t go to work today because Fu Hua gave her a leave so she could put her mind in order, for her next collectionunching.


    Seeing Lanying in the room, her brain booted immediately. She just knew that she must havee in alone, as no servants would dare to let her in after passing an instruction to them.


    Jia Li released a deep sigh and said with a hand on her forehead, "What are you doing here?" Her tone was gentle, and that may be what made Lanying not to be rude toward her.


    "I''m sorry to disturb you, I was curious about this room, so I walked in here to check it out," Lanying replied.


    Jia Li massaged her temples and asked, "Do you want to get in trouble?" She didn''t understand what was wrong with Lanying.


    After getting in trouble the other day, she seemed to have forgotten about it and was already out for another one. Didn''t she like herself?


    Lanying rxed her nerves and went on to reply with a fearless gaze in her. "I don''t want to get into trouble, but what can I do when trouble seems to follow me around?"


    Jia Li didn''t know what she was getting at, but she was not interested and had no time to y with her. She had already disturbed her sleep and was not in the mood.


    "Trouble will not follow you around if you don''t want it. You have to leave now." Jia Li said and sat up properly. Her tone was no longer gentle like before, but it was not harsh either.


    Lanying chuckled softly and took two steps forward. She didn''t seem to fear Jia Li and was even thinking about why she should leave because she was asked to.


    "Why does everyone like you? I heard your story from my mother, and you are no different from me, but they all epted you. I also heard that your marriage was arranged, how did you get a difficult man like your husband to love you?"


    ''Is she here to make trouble?'' Jia Li thought in amazement.


    She couldn''t even get angry even if she wanted. She had seen so many scheming people, but not one trying to get herself into trouble knowingly.


    Jia Li could tell that she was purposely trying to find trouble with her. But the reason for it was not clear to her.


    "It looks like you have a grudge against my eptance into the family. You want to know why I was epted into the family?" Jia Li asked, and then continued, "It''s because I didn''t try to pretend who I was not. I was true to myself and to them."

 Chapter 746 Ruthless action against him

    <h4>Chapter 746 Ruthless action against him</h4>


    Jia Li was trying to tell her that if she was true to them from the beginning, they would have epted her no matter what, but because she was pretending, they saw through her and avoided her.


    Lanying couldn''t believe her ears. In fact, she was offended by Jia Li''s response. Her face squeezed in a frown as she asked, "Are you saying that it is wrong to try and act friendly just to be close to all of you when I had no bad intention towards it?"


    "Only you can answer that question for yourself. I have answered your question already, so you may leave right now!" Jia Li said in a heavy tone.


    Lanying scoffed and took a few more steps towards her and asked, "Why should I leave because you asked me to?"


    There was no need to think twice about her reason for trying to make trouble now. Jia Li could see that she was not afraid of getting into trouble and sing punished, and understood that something was wrong somewhere.


    It was as if she had lost faith in caring about whatever will happen to her.


    Jia Li smiled and replied with a straight gaze at her, "You should leave because I''m asking you nicely. No one in this familyes in here without knocking because this space belongs to me. I don''t know what your intentions are despite knowing the repercussions of your actions, but this is me reminding you kindly to think twice."


    Lanying was angry with Jia Li for advising her and telling her what was right to do. She was infuriated, but she couldn''t do anything to her. But deep in her mind, she was thinking if she should give a chance to herself because of her grand ns.


    Atst, Lanying huffed and walked away without saying another word.


    "What is wrong with her?" Jia Li thought curiously.


    Since she couldn''t get an answer to that question, she waved it off her head and went back to the work she had on her desk.


    Her new collections would beunched in a few weeks, there was no time to waste.


    Lanying didn''t make trouble for Jia Li again. And even if thru crossed paths, they would ignore each other.


    As for FangSu, she didn''t seem to let Lanying off after insulting her and found a few ways to get back at her.


    Left with less than a few weeks to leave the Fu house, Fu Juan orchestrates a dangerous n. She didn''t want to leave the family, and she didn''t want to divorce her husband even more.


    The previous day, she had seen her estranged husband at the shopping mall with the same woman that he had two children with.


    Fu Juan was very angry that he was so tant with his attitude in public. She thought if he was so impatient to have a divorce with her.


    Because of this, her anger was fueled again, and she was left with no choice and decided to take ruthless action against him.


    Right in her bedroom before breakfast, Lanying was going to find her so they could go together. She had already stopped at her door with a smile and was about to knock when she overheard her conversation over the phone with someone.


    "He will be going on a business trip soon... don''t kill him, but the ident should be fatal enough to leave him hospitalized and bedridden for a few months... Do it... I will give you a part payment in cash when we see this evening."


    Fu Juan''s conversation and the intention were very clear to Lanying. She was shocked that her mother wanted to harm her husband.


    ''Is it because of the threat?'' Lanying thought. She seemed to know her mother''s secret and guessed that her husband must have threatened her with it.


    ''Do you have to go this far to hide it and not divorce him?'' Lanying thought again in disappointment. She seemed weak and ended up walking away.


    The reason she came over in the first ce, was abandoned. She went to the dining room alone, and throughout the breakfast period, she was moody and couldn''t help stealing nces at her mother.


    Fu Juan on the other hand was full of smiles and are to her satisfaction. She didn''t cause any trouble, and she didn''t intervene in anyone.


    In the evening, Lanying was tempted to tail Fu Juan to meet the person she had contacted over the phone, or even expose all her secrets to the entire family, but she changed her mind.


    The percentage of her intentions failing was very high. It was very easy for Fu Juan to deny it, and even abandon her after the ordeal, after all, she was capable of doing anything since she could go to this extent.


    "Mum, I will help you to confess your crimes in neither way," Lanying said to herself and went back to her bedroom.


    After Fu Juan left, a surprising visitor came dressed like a viin, which surprised the entire family, even Lanying.


    "What are you doing here with those pieces of luggage?" Fu ChuHua asked Meixu who was dressed like a viin standing at the entrance.


    "Surprise!" Meixu said with a big smile as she took off her sunsses.


    Immediately FangSu heard that Meixu hade, she rushed downstairs and asked with a frown, "What took you so long?"


    Meixu nced at her and rolled her eyes. Showing off her wedding ring, she said, "Have you forgotten that I''m married now and need to spend time with my husband?"


    Before FangSu could reply, Fu ChuHua beat her to it. "That is exactly why I''m asking what you are doing here?! You just got married and you have already left your husband toe and live here, are you okay?"


    Just as she finished her sentence, Shi Qiao appeared from the entrance with a smile and stepped forwards to give her a proper greeting.


    Fu ChuHua who was angry at one moment, was suddenly full of smiles the other moment when she saw Shi Qiao.


    She was so happy that she forgot that this was the same person she didn''t want her daughter to get married to.

 Chapter 747 Meixu’s return

    <h4>Chapter 747 Meixu''s return</h4>


    After the warm greeting, Meixu''s things were sent to her bedroom. Thankfully, her room was still clean, but Fu ChuHua couldn''t help but chide her a little.


    "How could youe back without informing anybody? What if your bedroom wasn''t cleaned yet?"


    Meixu was bothered and showed it with her response. "If someone could start it in this family, why can it not continue?"


    Meixu was talking about Fu Juan, and it was very clear. Fu ChuHua didn''t have the energy to start arguing with her and just dragged her up the stairs.


    Lanying who heard their conversation sneered and walked back to her bedroom.


    When it was time for dinner, Meixu and her husband, Shi Qiao, changed into afortable outfit and came down together. Some minutes ago, they had opened one of their luggage and shared the gifts they bought for everyone.


    As for Lanying, she didn''t receive any gifts apart from wedding sweets. She sneered and had given them back to the servants who brought them to her.


    Fu Juan''s gift was smallpared to others, but she didn''t throw a tantrum which surprised Meixu who was expecting her to say a few words so she could put her in her ce.


    Fu Juan had changed, she no longer made trouble, and Meixu thought that it was good for her that she knew the right thing to do.


    The reason Fu Juan didn''t make trouble was because of her grand n which was still in the process of being carried out. And if she wanted a 100% victory, her attitude had to count.


    At the dinner table, the entire family came together to have their dinner. There, Grandfather Fu weed Shi Qiao with a warm smile for the second time.


    Shi Qiao greeted him and the rest of the smile with a warm smile, just before Meixu threw a bomb at them when Ling asked how long she would be staying.


    "I heard you came with 3 pieces of luggage, how long are you going to be staying?" Ling asked curiously.


    He didn''t seem to understand what was going on in the family even though he was a part of it.


    Almost two months ago, their Aunt hade the same way, unannounced, and was still living with them. He really wanted to know if it was a trend now.


    "You can''t wait for me to leave? Don''t worry, I won''t be going anywhere, anytime soon, just until Aunt Juan and her adopted daughter leave the house. That should be the right time for my first vacation here after marriage, tost." Meixu said with a smoking gaze directed at the mother and daughter staring at her in surprise.


    Fu Juan''s smile fell and it slowly disappeared, just the same way it came. She didn''t believe that she would have to deal with another problem in-between the process of her grand n.


    Lanying saw her mother''s change in countenance and smiled to herself. It looks like her mother didn''t want to leave the Fu house, but Meixu was up for it.


    ''Let''s see how this ys out.'' Lanying thought to herself.


    If it was before, she would have been very angry, but times have changed, including people and situations.


    She couldn''t wait to see what her mother would do to stop them from leaving.


    FangSu smiled at Meixu''s question and couldn''t help showing how happy she was. She even hummed with her eyes closed after putting a spoonful of vegetables into her mouth.


    Fu Juan resisted so hard not to show her anger. She clenched her fists which were hidden under the table.


    Slowly, her smile appeared back on her face, and she responded with her gaze in Meixu, "That means you silk be staying here for a week and a few days more, just after Jia Liunches her second clothing collection."


    Meixu scoffed and looked away before announcing that Shi Qiao was leaving the next morning after having breakfast with them for a business trip and that he would be picking her up when he returns.


    Grandfather Fu wished that he could stay another day with them, so he could be veryfortable with the family, but the business trip was important, so he didn''t let out his thoughts.


    For the next few days, Jia Li was very busy at work. But because of her pregnancy, she wasn''t that active, so, Sunny had to oversee most of her creative processes.


    Being pregnant with things was very different, and this was what Jia Li came to understand recently. Apart from her belly growing very fast, she got tired frequently, and couldn''t even exercise her body much.


    She felt like a mummy, but she kept pushing herself. This was her work, so she couldn''t allow anyone to take the highest responsibility for it.


    But Fu Hua had other ns for her. He came down to their department to ask that all help should be given to her because of her current situation, and they all understood.


    At work, Jia Li didn''t try to hide her baby bump, in fact, she worked with it, and that made her colleagues wonder how she was still able to work in that condition, despite being the Boss''s wife.


    This became a reason for them to admire her the more.


    Currently, at the Fu house, Meixu came to find trouble with Lanying.


    After knocking once on her door, she pushed it open and helped herself in. There was a big smile on her face when she met Lanying''s shocked gaze.


    "Perhaps, you might be wondering what I''m doing here in your room," Meixu said and stopped in her tracks.


    Lanying slowly rxed her facial expression and sat up on her bed. She refused to respond to her even though she was right.


    She was curious to know the reason she left herfort zone and came down to this ce to find her.


    "I came to see if you have started packing your things. You know, you are leaving this house in a few days, and it is only proper that you start packing your things on time, so you don''t forget a thing." Meixu replied with a taunting gaze.


    She really came to find trouble.

 Chapter 748 A good beating

    <h4>Chapter 748 A good beating</h4>


    Lanying smiled and said with her arms crossed, "It looks like you are very idle since after getting married. Don''t you have better things to do?"


    Meixu chuckled at her response. She didn''t seem surprised with her manners because FangSu had already given her a heads up, sons he decided toe to check things out for herself.


    "You are just acting like the way I was told, you really do not have fear anymore!"


    ''FangSu.'' That was the name that came to Lanying''s mind when Meixu said that about her.


    "What is there to be afraid of? I am not afraid of you, and if you are unhappy about that and want to hit me, go ahead, but just know that I will make a huge deal out of this because you came looking for trouble."


    Meixu was not affected by her words. She was annoyed, but it was not obvious since she was used to dealing with so many people like, and worse than her.


    "Whose house are you going to stay in to make a big deal out of this? Is it this house, my house?"


    Lanying chuckled angrily and retorted, "You have already been married out of this family, and yet you still think this is your house? Even if it is, you no longer have the same rights as before."


    "What did you say?" Meixu asked angrily as she walked towards the bed to grab Lanying, but thetter fled to the other side, so she couldn''t reach her.


    "These words I said to you just now, were the same words Aunt Hee said to my mother when we came here. How does it feel? Do you feel like a knife is driven to your chest? If you don''t like it, maybe you should get divorced ande back here to live." Lanying said with a smug look.


    Meixu was driven mad and immediately chased after her. She could no longer keep her image in check. She had no idea that Lanying was this saucy, and had been pretending all along to be a good girl who was being bullied.


    "Who gave you the right to speak to me in that manner?! Do you think you and your mother''s positions are the same?! Do you think that you are a part of the Fu family now?! Just wait, and I will show you what it means to be a true member of the Fu family."


    Lanying did not bother to reply to her anymore and was busy trying to run away from her clutches. On the inside, she was very happy to see Meixu so worked up.


    She was ddened and felt that she only knew how to dish out insults but could not take them when someone else gave them to her.


    It''s been only a few seconds and Meixu still wasn''t able to catch Lanying because she kept jumping on her bed in order to run over to the other side.


    You know what she did, she decided to climb her bed, with her slippers on her feet, which shocked Lanying who didn''t think that she would act that way as that has been her only advantage.


    Never would she have thought that Meixu would climb her bed, she thought that she would continue to keep the demeanor of ady until the end, but she got it all wrong.


    A few secondster, Meixu caught her and gave her a tight p on her face before pushing her to the floor and proceeding to beat the hell out of her.


    "You have the guts to talk back and even go as far as insulting me and asking me to get a divorce? Today, I''m going to reveal my other side to you! If you want to report me to the police for assault, go ahead, and I will also going to press charges against you with the Fu family''s backing! This is what it means to be a true member of the Fu family!"


    As Meixu was hitting her, she was saying those words, and Lanying could only take the hits. She was already in a helpless situation, and couldn''t even fight back.


    She never knew that Meixu was so strong, and regretted why she crossed her path. But it was toote to regret it because she could only scream and allow herself to be beaten up.


    Before Fu Juan coulde over to save her, Meixu had already given her a good beating.


    Honestly, Fu Juan could not believe her eyes. She hade to talk to Lanying concerning them not leaving the Fu house any time soon and had just gotten to her door when she heard her screaming.


    She rushed to open the door only to see Meixu hitting her so violently. Fu Juan immediately rushed in and shut the door behind her before struggling to push Meixu away.


    Atst, after separating them, she saw Lanying''s face and was in horror. Her face was red, and had a few bruises, with the corner of her mouth bleeding.


    Lanying wouldn''t have received this much besting if she hadn''t tried to fight back instead of protecting her face.


    When Meixu was hitting her face, she could have used her arms to block her face, but no, she wanted to fight back, so she got a good beating in the process.


    Meixu was still huffing mad even after Fu Juan rescued Lanying. She still wanted to hit her more, despite the injuries she gave to her.


    "Meixu, how could you do this to your cousin? No matter how she offended you, you really went out of ce to do this?!" Fu Juan said angrily to Meixu.


    Meixu scoffed and finally shifted her gaze from Lanying who was hiding behind her with tears in her eyes.


    "What cousin? Since I have given her a good beating, I will drop this matter here. But if you really want to know what happened, ask that stupid girl behind you, and if you are still okay with it, I will be waiting for you to bring up the matter in front of the entire family, so you two can leave this ce as soon as possible! "


    After saying that to her, she red daggers at Lanying before walking away.

 Chapter 749 You taste so sweet

    <h4>Chapter 749 You taste so sweet</h4>


    After Meixu left, Fu Juan took a good nce at Lanying with a worried gaze.


    "Why did she hit you, what did you do to her?" She asked while touching her face gently.


    Lanying held one side of her face and said with a hateful gaze, "Mum, you saw that she came into my room, so she is the one that started making trouble with me. I only replied to her with the same attitude she came with, and she decided to hit me!."


    Fu Juan got something from her exnation and asked with furrowed brows, "What did you say to her? Whatever you said that got her angry, you shouldn''t have done that. You have been enduring for a long time now, why did you choose to make trouble today? Now it will be harder to win her over to your side in the future."


    Lanying couldn''t believe her ears. The woman standing before her was only interested in making her have a good rtionship with her nieces and nephews, but she was not concerned with the attitude they disced.


    Fu Juan saw her angry gaze and exined, "I have already made preparations for us to stay here for a longer time. And it would have been better if you continued ignoring them because one day when they see that you are immune to their hatred, they would leave you alone, and then you can start to show them your charm."


    "Mum, please stop it! I want to be alone at this moment!" Lanying said angrily and went to her bed to sit.


    "Did you just raise your voice at me? I am trying to make everything go well with us in this family, but you are against it?" Fu Juan asked in an annoyed tone.


    Of course, she too was starting to get annoyed with her attitude, because the character she was exhibiting was not known to her.


    Lanying shifted her angry gaze to her, "Because I am your adopted daughter, I can''t even request to be alone? If you don''t like me anymore, why don''t you return me to the Orphanage you took me from, my life was simple there."


    Fu Juan was furious with her statement that she felt like throwing things at her, but she had to calm herself down.


    "If you want to go back to the Orphanage, then start packing your things, because if you want to continue to be my daughter, get ready to stay here with me for a while." Fu Juan said to her and then walked away.


    Lanying gnashed her teeth while staring at the door angrily. There was disappointment and hate in her eyes.


    ''Must you go this far? Since you want to have your way, then don''t me me in the future!'' Lanying said to herself.


    When Fu Juan left her bedroom, she asked the housekeeper to ask a servant to administer first aid treatment to Lanying.


    When the servants stepped into Lanying''s bedroom and saw her face, she looked surprised but masked it.


    She thought that Fu Juan had abused her and had wanted to ask about it, but she held her tongue and helped her with the first aid.


    Lanying didn''t let her touch her face instead, she asked her for the ointment and how to apply it, before doing it herself.


    When the servant was about to leave, Lanying made a request, which the servant agreed to do.


    She had asked the servant to bring her meals to her bedroom for the next 2 days.


    So for the next 2 days, Lanying did not appear in the dining area, and it was only Grandfather Fu that asked about her.


    "Your daughter did not appear here throughout yesterday, is she ill?"


    Fu Juan managed a smile and replied, "Yes, she is."


    Meixu sneered, while FangSu scoffed.


    When thetter heard from Meixu how Lanying disrespected her and got the beating of her life, she felt like going to teach her a lesson but stopped herself at the end.


    Grandfather Fu looked away and went back to eating after he dropped this sentence, "Take her to the hospital to receive treatment, but if it''s very serious, you can call a doctor over to attend to her. Whichever way, the bills will be settled by the family."


    Fu Juan thought that the old man was finally starting to show care towards her business, and smiled, "Thank you, father."


    The next time Lanying started to show her face, she became cold to everybody. She only greeted her elders only if she came in close contact with them, and apart from that, she was all alone.


    She stayed clear from everyone and only met them in the dining area, and the same treatment went to Fu Juan as well.


    Fu Juan didn''t have time to bother with her, as she was chasing a far greater goal.


    A day before Jia Li''s clothingunch, she wrapped things up at thepany very quickly so she could have a good rest and get ready for the next day.


    Before clocking off work, she promised to treat everyone that joined her to make her worke to life to a meal at a good restaurant.


    Everyone knew that surely it wouldn''t be a shabby ce that she would take them to, so they thanked her happily before sending her off.


    Jia Li had just got to the underground parking lot when she saw Fu Hua waiting there. She looked surprised as she asked, "Are you getting off work now?"


    "Yes. I heard my pregnant beautiful wife was getting off work on time today, so I optioned to be her driver." Fu Hua said with a wink as he took a few steps toward her.


    When he got to her side, he kissed her lips softly and let go after a few seconds.


    "Mmmm... you taste so sweet!" He teased.


    Jia Li chuckled as she hit his chest gently. She wasn''t even concerned about their location before locking lips with him.


    "Come, I will take you to a good ce to get a good treatment." Fu Hua said as he helped her into the car.


    When he got into the driver''s side of the car, Jia Li asked with a big smile, "Where are we going?"

 Chapter 750 A bigger gift

    <h4>Chapter 750 A bigger gift</h4>


    "First, I will treat you to a good meal, and then take you to the beauty parlor to get a quick massage to rx your tensed shoulders, and then get some facials done for your big day tomorrow."


    "Why do I need to get a massage at the beauty parlor when you are so good at it?" Jia Li inquired.


    Fu Hua nced at her with a teasing smile, "Lest I be tempted and end up devouring you."


    Both of them chuckled out loud as he ignited the car''s engine and sped off.


    Fu Hua did treat Jia Li to everything he mentioned, and he made sure it was a premium treatment. She got the best of the best.


    At the end of their premium treatment, they embarked on a journey back home.


    The following day, the entire Fu family members got ready to go and show their support to Jia Li for her new collectionunch.


    The eventsted for 4-hours straight.


    There were two main key points in this event. Jia Li''s dressing along with the outfits sheunched.


    But the most breaking news was the outfit she wore for her event, it garnered so much attention that it broke the inte.


    When Jia Li saw the attention on her outfit, she was almost afraid that her new collection wouldn''t do so well, but who knew that it would exceed her expectations?


    It may be because of her outfit that the number of orders for her collection exceeds the limit FJ had set as their starting goal.


    Everyone who admired Jia Li''s outfit asked her to be a model and also inquired about her outfit''s designer.


    They thought she just put on that dress because of the theme she was working with, not knowing that there was a more valuable reason behind it.


    Since Jia Li and Fu Hua were not ready to announce their pregnancy yet, thru came up with the outfit style and worked on it together.


    Because Jia Li was already very busy with her new collection, Fu Hua was left to do all the needlework and ended up producing it by himself.


    To the question of who designed her outfit, Jia Li released a private statement to reply to them.


    Everything about Jia Li on her event date was perfect. Her make-up, hairstyle, essories, and clothing, were well crafted and nned out.


    She really stood out at her event.


    Before her event could even end, FJ was already getting so many calls for the orders, and also to have an exclusive interview with Jia Li, you focus mainly on her creativity.


    At backstage, after the event ended, Fu Hua hugged her from the side and almost gave her a big kiss, but she just knew the right thing to do in the presence of other FJ employees.


    She didn''t push him away, but instead turned her face to the side, making his kissnd on her cheeks.


    Fu Hua knew the game she yed and couldn''t helpughing over it.


    "Now this is over, do you want to go on a cruise ship?" Fu Hua asked happily. He really wanted to reward her.


    Jia Li nced at everyone who had this smiling gaze on them before leaning in to whisper to his ears, "I want a massage from you, my body hurts after wearing his outfit for 5 hours straight, but you can''t get naughty."


    Surprisingly Fu Hua asked, "Is that all?" And Jia Li nodded in response.


    "Your request is too little, how about I give you a bigger reward? An exclusive interview and photoshoot with an international magazine to boost your recognition?" Fu Hua whispered in her ears.


    Jia Li seemed ted when she heard this. Her eyes shone brightly as she asked, "Is that possible?"


    Fu Hua pinched her cheeks gently as he asked, "It looks like you have yed the role of my wife for far too long that you have forgotten what I''m capable of doing. Just hold on, I will get it done."


    With this promise, Jia Li began to look forward to an Interview with an International magazine like The TIME Magazine.


    Although most of these international magazines were so high up, Fu Hua could easily get her one.


    Two dayster, Jia Li kept to her promise by treating all the FJ workers who helped her event go so smoothly.


    Because of their number, Jia Li organized the dinner in a hall in one of the highest-rated hotels in the city.


    The ''thank you'' dinner could be mistaken as a wedding reception, given the details that were put into the interior decors and food.


    Here, Jia Li followed the concept of their designer World to create the decors which looked very interesting.


    FJ''s employees who attended this event, couldn''t help taking pictures and posting on their social media handles with the caption which referred to Jia Li as the thank you dinner she organized.


    FJ liked this concept and added it to their magazine which would be released a month before their Fashion Week.


    On this same day, at this same hour, Fu Juan called home and broke disheartening news to the family.


    She broke the news directly to Grandfather Fu. She said that her husband, Aiguo was involved in a fatal ident and she was on her way to see him.


    Grandfather Fu was shocked by the news and quickly asked Butler Li to confirm it, which turned out to be positive.


    "Find out which hospital Fu Juan is now and make contacts to get the best doctor to treat him. His life must be saved at all cost!" Grandfather Fu instructed.


    Although this son-inw of his had disrespected him, he still wouldn''t sit by idly when he could do something to save him.


    But what grandfather Fu could not understand, was his daughter''s emotions. He thought she hated Aiguo because he couldn''t see any sign of love for him in her eyes that day they held a family meeting with her husband being present.


    Given her current emotions at the moment, he wondered if she still loved him, and masked it the other day? Was this the reason she didn''t want to divorce him?


    Butler Li returned to the study a few minutester to pass a piece of information to Grandfather Fu.


    The press had gotten a hold of the news that Fu Juan''s husband was involved in a traffic ident.

 Chapter 751 Swift in driving them away

    <h4>Chapter 751 Swift in driving them away</h4>


    Butler Li makes a call to the hospital Aiguo was rushed to after speaking with Fu Juan.


    He contacts the best doctors there tomence an emergency surgery and make see he is saved.


    ording to the news and the level of harm that was impacted on Aiguo during the ident, his case was critical. And it was heard that the seatbelt tore right into his chest.


    Immediately after contacting the doctors, Grandfather Fu instructed the Butler Li to go over there and take a look at things for him, after speaking with Fu Geming to tag along.


    He would have sent Fu Lei to go with him, but knowing his personality and the less interest he now had in Fu Juan, he wouldn''t agree to go.


    "If the surgery will take time, ask Juan toe back, but if she insists, let her be and ask Fu Hee to send food to her through a servant." Grandfather Fu instructed, and Butler Li left immediately to carry out his task.


    In the car, Fu Geming was baffled by how the ident happened. Aiguo had hit a parked trailer which made his case more serious.


    Fu Geming wondered if he was drunk driving and didn''t see the heavy car parked on one side of the road.


    He just couldn''t put his hand on how that ident was possible.


    By the time they got to the hospital, Fu Juan had stopped crying and was sitting outside the emergency unit with a hand on her jaw. But her eyes were red.


    Fu Geming saw her state and could only shake his head silently.


    "I thought you didn''t love him anymore, why are you in this state?" He asked as he stood before her silently.


    "Are you here to make fun of me?" Fu Juan asked with her gaze at the red emergency light indicating that surgery was still ongoing.


    Fu Geming sighed and shifted his face to the door, "How long has he been inside there, and how long with the surgeryst?"


    "I don''t know anything, I have lost track of time." Fu Juan replied without moving her gaze.


    Fu Geming was speechless as he wondered the reason she was so affected by his ident. He began to think if this ident would remove the hatred she had in her heart for me.


    Butler Li stepped forward and said to Fu Geming, "Sir, let''s check with the doctor Masted had me make a call to, he should know more about the details of the surgery."


    Fu Geming nodded and followed him out.


    As soon as they left, Fu Juan nced in their direction with a small smirk appearing on her face. The smirk was so small that it could only be seen in a close-up view.


    About 10 minutester, Fu Geming and Butler Li returned to her side after getting a better understanding of Aiguo''s ident and treatment.


    "The doctor said the surgery mightst into the night, are you sure you want to stay here?" Fu Geming asked.


    "If I don''t stay here, he will be alone, and this wouldn''t be good. Fu Juan replied calmly.


    Fu Geming said with his hands in his pockets, " I want to understand something, you are going to divorce him, and he has another woman and children outside, so what is the use of this sacrifice you are making?"


    Fu Geming was finding it out to understand Fu Juan. He was not heartless, and it was not bad if she spent some time at the hospital, but he has seen how bad their rtionship was, so it was making him have different thoughts.


    Finally, Fu Juan moved her gaze to him and asked with a deep frown, "Brother, you have seen the state I''m in, yet you still go ahead to ask me these painful questions, are you still my brother, or do you hate me that much?"


    Fu Geming nced at Butler Li before ncing back at her. He could only think that she was about to lose it.


    "We are leaving now, and the 2 bodyguards we came with, will stay here because of the press. Since you want to stay here till the surgery is over, book a VIP room for yourself to spend the night. I have already cleared all the current bills. Later, dinner along with a change of clothes will be sent to you."


    Fu Juan was d that he changed topics and thanked him for looking after her.


    "Do you want your daughter toe along with the things that will be sent over?" Fu Geming asked, in case she would needpany.


    Fu Juan shook her head, "No, let her be, I can manage alone."


    "Okay, we are leaving now," Fu Geming said before turning to walk away with Butler Li.


    When they finally disappeared from her sight, Fu Juan released the long breath she has been holding.


    ''Atst, I can be alone now.'' Fu Juan thought to herself.


    Soon, the bodyguards'' Fu Geming came with earlier, came to meet her. They greeted her and stood there waiting for her instructions.


    Fu Juan looked very serious now when she saw them, instead of the glooming aura surrounding her before.


    Picking up her phone from her pause, she went straight to her gallery to find some pictures before showing them to the bodyguards.


    It was a picture of a mature woman younger than her, with a teenage boy and girl, which happened to be her husband''s other family.


    "Don''t let these people into this hospital, but if they manage to get in, never let them set their eyes on my husband no matter what, and you should be swift in driving them away." Fu Juan instructed.


    The bodyguards took note of the people in the pictures she showed to them and nodded in understanding.


    "They can''t add to my troubles..." Fu Juan said with a distant gaze.


    The news of Aiguo''s ident had sprayed, and it won''t be long before his other family sees it ande searching for him. But she would never let them meet.


    If they were caught by the media, then everyone''s reputation including the Fu family will fall.


    Fu Juan was not ready to bear the cross for the reason for that, because if something like that happens, the me will be put on her, which was right.

 Chapter 752 Their Fears

    <h4>Chapter 752 Their Fears</h4>


    Two reasons Fu Juan will never let her husband''s other family meet him were to protect this embarrassing situation from reaching the media and protecting the Fu family''s prestige.


    The second reason is that she wanted to punish them and teach them to know their ce.


    "You, go and book a VIP room for me. You, stand here and make sure outsiders do note close. I will be back in a few minutes."


    After giving out that instruction, to the two bodyguards, she took her purse and walked away without telling them where she was going.


    When one of them had asked if she neededpany, she turned him down and continued in her steps.


    Where did Fu Juan go sote in the evening? She went to clear her remaining debts.


    Back at the Fu Mansion, Fu Geming and Butler Li went to report to Grandfather Fu about the oue of their visit.


    The old man inquired about Fu Juan''s emotions and current disposition, before asking them to leave.


    Now, the entire Fu family members had had about Aiguo''s incident but we''re wondering what Fu Juan was thinking about, based on their rtionship.


    When Lanying heard about the fatal ident, she wasn''t surprised. Sheughed at herself angrily, while staring at the mirror.


    "Seriously, you really had to go this far just to a hut him up and stop your divorce?" Lanying said out loud while pointing at the mirror.


    "Why can''t anyone see how selfish and evil you are? If I was the one, would we be in the same situation?"


    Lanyingughed so hard that tears were falling freely from her eyes. She seemed hurt about something, and her eyes were equally filled with hatred.


    Some minutester, she wiped her tears, applied makeup on her face, before picking up her home and purse, and left her room.


    Towards the entrance, she met the housekeeper and said calmly to her, "I''m going out and will be backte, so I can''t join the family for dinner but please heat my food and send it to my room."


    After saying that in a respectful tone, she walked out of the house very quickly, who h surprised the housekeeper who turned to nce at her.


    ''Why is she suddenly speaking to me?''


    Lanying hasn''t been speaking to anyone since that incident with Meixu, and she has basically been staying on her own, so the housekeeper was really surprised that she decided to speak to her.


    When Lanying left the house, she took a long walk till she got outside the gates, before taking the can she had ordered.


    Seeing her in so much rush, you must think that she had an appointment or an important task to carry out. But dear Lanying ended up at a bar to drink beer.


    After taking her time to finish 3 bottles while brooding, she felt better, and paid for her drinks before leaving that ce in the can she booked.


    Returning to the Fu house, it was already a few minutes past 9, both the lights outside the house were so bright and enough to guide her path.


    By the time she had walked from the gate to the entrance of the house, her foggy head caused by the beer she drank, had cleared up.


    When she got to her bedroom, she truly saw her dinnerid up on her desk. She looked excited and she made her way toward the table to remove the covers.


    When she had made that request, she was testing the housekeeper to see if she would don''t, but she actually did it.


    "It looks like you don''t starve people in this family," Lanying said as she picked up her chopsticks to taste a few of the dishes.


    "This warms my heart, but my mother is making things difficult for me, so I can''t change my mind." She continued while chewing the food in her mind.


    It was after she had finished eating that she went to wash up before going straight to bed.


    When the Fu family was having breakfast and asked about Lanying, the housekeeper had told them she left the house and would bete for dinner.


    They all thought that she had gone to the hospital to see Fu Juan, so they didn''t think too much about it, while Fu Juan who was at the hospital enjoyed her food after returning from the ce she went to.


    The hospital room she was staying in, was the same one Aiguo would be pushed into after the surgery, and she had no problem with it.


    After all, the VIP room was spacious and even had a living room setting, so she wouldn''t have any problem sharing the space with him.


    Back at the Fu house, Jia Li and Fu Hua spent only a few seconds talking about Fu Juan and her actions.


    Jia Li''s question was this, ''Did she still love him or not?''


    Fu Hua hugged her and told her not to worry about other people.


    "You are carrying two babies in your womb and you still have time to worry about other people''s matters. If you still have strength, why don''t we y a game in bed, I promise that you will like it." Fu Hua said as he hugged her from behind and nibbled on her ear.


    Jia Li chuckled and asked him to go to bed that it was toote to do any bed activities.


    Fu Hua chuckled and moved his palms to her baby bump and caressed it.


    "This is your first time having twins, and this pregnancy is going to be very different from the first one, so I''m thinking about employing a chef/dietician who will take care of your meals separately, and a yoga coach that will take care of your fitness."


    Fu Hua was really worried about her, and the fact they were having twins. Her baby bump seemed to increase daily and that makes him even more worried.


    "Your idea is not bad. To tell you the truth I''m a little scared, as much as I love that we are having twins." Jia Li said in a soft tone.


    Fu Hua understood her worries and brought her into his arms properly and left a kiss on her forehead


    "We will get through this together."

 Chapter 753 Her father knows

    <h4>Chapter 753 Her father knows</h4>


    The next day, Fu Hua had already contacted a yoga coach and a dietician/chef for Jia Li. That same day, they arrived at the Fu house to meet with her.


    From that day onwards, they were going to work with her every day until she gives birth to her children.


    Fu Hua already spoke with his mother Fu Hee. Being the mistress of the family and as Jia Li''s mother-inw, she had to be aware of such arrangements.


    Fu Hee agreed and even med herself for not thinking to that length as a woman.


    After having a short conversation with the two women, Jia Li liked them and told Fu Hua about it, and they went on to sign the contract.


    Her personal dietician had to spend her whole day at the Fu house, and only return to her house in the evening after preparing Jia Li''s dinner.


    As for the yoga coach, she would onlye early in the morning and leave after their morning section, but when Jia Li enters her third trimester, she would have toe twice a day, as they would be having a morning and evening section.


    A few dayster, Fu Juan doesn''t leave the house, which was a little surprising. They have given her enough time to grieve for her husband who was hospitalized, but she still didn''t want to leave.


    Fu Juan already had her ns hatched out, so how could she leave? More so, she has already gone this far, so how was that possible?


    Fu Juan knew that soon, the old man would ask her to leave, so before he could say that, she already went to meet him to beg with tears in her eyes.


    She asked him to extend the date till when her husband regains consciousness, so they could as well sign the divorce papers at once.


    Seeing her kneeling in front of him with tears in her eyes, Grandfather Fu sighed and turned to Butler Li to say, "Get thewyer to draft a divorce for Juan and Aiguo. Once Aiguo regains consciousness, they will sign it. If you have any requests,y them out now."


    Grandfather Fu said thest sentence as he shifted his gaze to Fu Juan.


    Fu Juan smiled inwardly, but wiped her tears and looked up with an emotional gaze.


    "I only want the house that belongs to both of us."


    She didn''t want to be greedy because of the punishable crimes shemitted if discovered. Besides, she didn''tck money and only felt that the house was enough for her.


    "Did you hear her? Add it to the agreement and get the divorce papers as soon as possible. Call the doctor in charge of Aiguo''s case and tell him to do everything he came to make him regain consciousness at the soonest."


    Fu Juan''s emotion almost cracked. Even with her acting all pitiful, her father still wanted her to leave the house at the soonest.


    Although he had agreed to what she said, he still wanted her to leave.


    Butler Li nodded before leaving the study, then Grandfather Fu shifted his gaze to Fu Juan and said to her, "If I don''t do this, I don''t think you would ever leave this house. Go back."


    At this moment, Fu Juan''s heart was pounding as she thought about how her father found out about it. She has clearly hidden that agenda and tried her best not to show it, but it looks like he can not be fooled.


    What else could Fu Juan do? She got to her feet and thanked him before walking away.


    Grandfather Fu sighed and shifted his gaze to the papers on his desk.


    He just found out that Fu Juan was looking for every way possible to live with them at the Fu house.


    This was not her initial n. She had wanted to stay there for at most, a month, but situations changed, and so did her ns.


    When Fu Juan left the study, the only thing she was thinking about, was how to dy Aiguo from regaining his consciousness.


    With that thought in mind, she decided to visit the hospital. She dressed up quickly and got into her car and drove off.


    The first thing she did when she got to the hospital was to go and check on Aiguo, and she met a nurse changing his bag of drips.


    The nurse greeted her and continued with her job.


    "Any improvements?" She asked with a straight gaze.


    "No Ma''am." The nurse replied.


    "Where is the doctor?"


    "He should be done making thest round check for the day. You can find him at his office."


    Fu Juan nced at her unconscious husband of hers who was breathing through the help of an oxygen mask and sighed before walking away.


    The nurse did not know the meaning of her actions, and she didn''t want to know either.


    30 minutester, Fu Juan returned to the Fu house after paying a visit to the doctor.


    The doctor had told her that her husband wasn''t going to regain any consciousness soon. At least, it would take a few weeks because of the serious damage caused to his internal organ and next to his heart, plus the few broken bones.


    With this, Fu Juan rxed a little. She still had up to a month more to stay in the Fu house.


    Lanying who knew of her mother''s evil deeds remained quiet and watched her from the side. These days, she doesn''t even speak to her much.


    The only time you can see them together is in the dining room, or when Fu Juanes to her bedroom to find her.


    Till now, Fu Juan was still unaware that a distance was beginning to grow between them.


    It''s been 2 months since Xin''s mother was discharged from the hospital, which meant that it was time for her deal with Fu Ling to start.


    After repaying the debt she owed at the restaurant by working for 2 months, she resigned and even took her workmates for a drink to celebrate her leaving.

 Chapter 754 Yoga section with Fu Hua

    <h4>Chapter 754 Yoga section with Fu Hua</h4>


    Xin resigned on the weekend, and the next Monday, she appeared in Fu Ling''s office dressed like a white-cor worker.


    She looked smart as she walked towards Fu Ling''s office with her heels making sounds when touched against the floor.


    The Xin right now looked different from the one that used to work at the restaurant. She looked more professionally in her attire and standing in Fu Ling''spany.


    Since she wasn''t going to work directly under Fu Ling, she just went to report herself to his office.


    Fu Ling was sitting cross-legged on the recliner when Xin knocked and walked in.


    "Good morning, Sir." She greeted. "I''m here to report to you on my first day of work."


    Fu Ling gazed at her silently before adjusting his sitting position. "You look made for your new job. Good luck with your job, and I''m sure I can trust you to lead a team. If there is anything, you can always find your way to my office as a team leader."


    Xin bowed slightly before leaving.


    Even after she left, Fu Ling had his gaze on the door. It was the sound of his phone ringing that jolted him back to reality.


    Early morning of the next day, Jia Li woke up with mild back pains andined about it.


    Fu Hua felt sorry for her and asked her to sit up on the bed, so he could help her massage it.


    "Is it working?" He asked as his fingers pressed gently around her waist area. He wanted to make sure he was getting it right.


    "I think it is. Why don''t we wait for my coach toe over, a few exercises should help to alleviate the pain.


    Fu Hua pressed on her back onest time before letting go. "Alright freshen up, I will get your clothes ready."


    "Thank you," Jia Li said and got off the bed. Even with her pregnancy, she was still looking beautiful and still wore well-fitted night dresses.


    Pregnancy indeed changes a woman''s body, but not much had changed with Jia Li because every pregnancy was different.


    Her baby bump was fast-growing, and not much changed about her looks, except that she had a few pimples on her face, and her fairplexion was battling a little.


    After freshening up, they both left for the yoga room to meet her coach. When Jia Li exined about the back pains she was having, her coach advised her to start using a pillow to support her back while sleeping as it would help to stop the pains and prevent her from spraining her waist.


    Since the couple was together, the coach asked them to do an exercise together to help her with the pain.


    What surprised Jia Li more was the fact that Fu Hua shamelessly asked the coach to take pictures of them in that position.


    Fu Hua was sitting behind her, and pressing his chest to her back while she leaned over. The pose was really suggestive.


    Jia Li so badly wanted to escape, but she couldn''t because Fu Hua held her in ce.


    "Seriously why do you need this kind of photo for?" Jia Li asked with a deep frown.


    "It won''t be bad to post it on our social media pages, I''m sure our fans had missed seeing us together. This should be a reward for their hard work."


    "Your method of rewarding them is something else." Jia Li replied.


    Fu Hua received his phone from the coach and finally let her go to nce at the pictures. "Of course, I have to be different."


    Jia Li saw that he had his phone now, and quickly tinted around to peep, "Let me see the pictures, you can''t post the wrong one."


    "I thought you were not interested?" Fu Hua asked with a smirk.


    "I couldn''t stop you from taking these photos, so can I stop you from posting them? I have seen that I can not stop you, so I had better pick out the good ones." Jia Li said with a serious gaze on his phone.


    She already knew her ce, and that she could not stop him from doing whatever wanted, so she only care about selecting the good shots that were taken.


    This pregnancy has made her not have time to waste. Stopping him was futile, so why trying and waste her time?


    After selecting the good ones, Fu Hua deleted the rest before asking her if she wanted the pictures.


    "Do you want them?"


    "I do, but I''m not interested in posting them, this is not my style." Jia Li rejected him.


    She felt it was not in her kind to post those kinds of pictures on her social media handles so she let him be the only one to do that, since it was his style, and he was capable of that.


    Jia Li''s coach just stood at the side with her hands on her waist as she watched them bicker about the pictures before finally getting back into position after posting them.


    Jia Li apologized to her coach with a smile before putting her concentration back on the exercise.


    In-between exercising, Jia Li finished a bottle of eater and wanted more, but her coach did not let her.


    She said if she drank another bottle, it would affect the quantity of food she would have for breakfast as her stomach may end up getting filled with water.


    Atst, the 1-hour yoga section ended, and Jia Li sighed in relief. Walking back to their bedroom together, they both went into the bathroom to take a shower together.


    By the time thru had freshened up ande out fully dressed, Jasmine was already dressed in her school uniform.


    The little girl looked so smart and cheerful as she greeted her parents.


    Stealing kisses from her face, Fu Hua carried her in his arms and made his way out of the room with Jia Li following behind.


    The trio was going to the dining room to have their breakfast.

 Chapter 755 Attending a business meeting with Fu Ling

    <h4>Chapter 755 Attending a business meeting with Fu Ling</h4>


    A weekter, Fu Ling had a business meeting with some investors and had Xin tag along.


    He said his personal assistant was still learning work, and that she was more professional than he was, so she went with him.


    Fu Ling was not going to leave his personal assistant idle, as he assigned another important work to him.


    The business meeting with the investors was not until 6 pm in a hotel lounge, tight at the time to get off work.


    I immediately it was time to leave, Fu Ling called Xin, asking her to go over to the parking lot to wait for him.


    Quickly, Xin cleared her desk and picked up her bag to leave.


    Some minutester, Fu Ling came down to meet her. Pressing the button on his car key, his supports made a sound of unlocking, alerting her.


    "Get in," He said to her, as he reached for the driver''s side of the car


    Without being told, Xin fastened her seatbelt after she got into her car, and picked up the document he threw in the backseat.


    "Can I look at the contract?" Xin asked with a polite gaze.


    "You already have it in your hands, what''s the use of asking for permission?" Fu Ling said as he shifted his gaze to her.


    If she had asked for permission before picking the document, that would have been a different case.


    Xin felt like knocking her head against the car window. It was out of habit that she did that.


    When she used to work as his personal assistant, she could do that without his permission, but it looks like she has forgotten her ce.


    "Sorry," She said and wanted to keep the document back, but he stopped her.


    "Since you have picked it up already, you might as well, go through it." Fu Ling said with her eyes on the road.


    Since he had given her the permission, there was no need to keep it back, soon, she started flipping through the pages of the contract.


    "Which job do you enjoy more? Being team leader or being my personal assistant?" Fu Ling asked curiously.


    Xin stared at him in surprise because he asked that question out of the blue, and she wondered if he was that curious about her preference.


    "Being a team leader is not easy because I have to oversee most of the work under my team and review them before approving and sending them out. Working as your personal assistant is also stressful, but it''s better than being a team leader as I''m used to it."


    "I see, so being my personal assistant it''s better. Keep up the good word in your department." Fu Ling advised.


    His response sounded as if he was punishing her after finding out her preference and snatching it away.


    Xin did not understand his response but went back to reading the contract.


    Just before they got to the hotel which was not far off, she arranged the contract in a folder and said, "It''s okay, but you will need to work on convincing them about the price."


    "That''s not a problem, I''m sure you can take care of it. Let''s see if you are still sharp as before." Fu Ling said with a slight smile as he turned left, driving into the hotel''s premises.


    "Sir, I would advise you to strike this deal yourself, I can''t be the reason you won''t get this, I already owe you a lot of money," Xin said with a frown.


    It''s not like she wanted to get into trouble. She couldn''t use herself as an experiment. If the deal doesn''t pull through, she didn''t even know what her fate will be.


    Maybe, she might end up selling herself as his ve forever, and that would be horrible.


    She still wanted to date and get married to...


    Seeing how she tantly revised him, he smiled and parked the car.


    "Bring the contract with you," He said as he stepped down from the car.


    Xin quickly followed without wasting time.


    Today, she wore a ck gown that outlined her shape, but the jacket she put over her shoulders, helped to cover her back, and sides.


    Her hair hung in a ponytail while simple makeupid out on her face. With the nude-colored heels on her feet, she looked like an uing businesswoman.


    Fu Ling''s outfit was a huge contrast from hers. He just wore a white shirt with a pair of jeans and sneakers on his feet.


    He looked just like a youth.


    Walking in together into the bustling lounge of the hotel, they maneuvered their way to the table of their business investors who were already sitting and waiting for them.


    "Mr. Fu Ling, it''s good to see." One of the men sitting, stood up to greet Fu Ling with a big smile on his face.


    Fu Ling greeted him back, and also exchanged pleasantries with the older man next to him.


    "I see that you came with someone." The older man said, shifting his gaze to Xin who was standing quietly at the side.


    "She is my Secretary." Fu Ling replied with a polite smile before gesturing to Xin to sit next to him.


    The three men went over a few bottles of alcohol while chatting, while Xin took some don''t drink while sitting quietly.


    At short intervals, Xin would lean in to whisper the same words to him, "Sir, you are drinking too much."


    Fu Ling would nod in response and then go ahead to continue drinking with them. Finally, 3 hourster, they were drunk but managed to sign the contract with Xin''s help.


    She was the only one amongst them who was still in her full senses.


    With the help of a bartender, Xin was able to help their business partners, by sending them off to their home addresses through a cab.


    As for Fu Ling, she had to help him herself. Luckily, he was heavily drunk that he had to rely on her full support to walk

 Chapter 756 Take me to your house

    <h4>Chapter 756 Take me to your house</h4>


    After cing him in the front passenger seat of his car, she git into the driver''s seat and turned on the car''s engine, and drove.


    "Mr. Fu, what is your home address?"


    In a light tone, Fu Ling replied, "Don''t send me back home, I can''t go home like this, all I will get a good scolding. I don''t was t to ruin the image my family has of me."


    Fu Ling didn''t want to get back home in a drunken state, otherwise, he will have to take full responsibility for his actions.


    It was against the rule of the family toe home drunk, and the way he was, he was told drunk, and possibly, dinner might still be going on, or might already be over before he returns.


    "If you don''t want to go back home, shall I book you a hotel?" Xin asked as she nced at him.


    As soon as she said that, Fu Ling quickly opened his eyes, and their gazes met.


    "Why not contact all the press you can, and tell them toe and take photos of you taking me to the hotel in my drunken state?"


    Xin was speechless at his remarks, but what he said made a lot of sense.


    Given his family background and the kind of attention the media puts on them, it wouldn''t be difficult for him to be caught up in a scandal.


    It could be very possible for anyone to take pictures of them booking a hotel room and going straight into a room, nothing was impossible for that kind of news to make it to the headlines.


    Anyone could easily click that kind of picture and sell it to the media. And the end game would be Fu Ling''spany losing in the stock market because of rumors.


    Xin didn''t want to be responsible for any of that. But there was a problem. If taking him to the hotel was off the list, where should she send him to?


    With that disturbing thought in mind, she asked, "Do you have any friends around the City, where you can crash at their ce?"


    "Have you seen me with any friend before since the time you have been working for me?" Fu Ling asked with his eyes closed.


    He was dead tired and couldn''t wait toyfortably on the bed and get enough rest.


    "Then where do you want to spend the night?" Xin retorted, she almost scolded him in the process.


    She was starting to get angry already.


    Fu Ling released a deep sigh, "Take me to your house. I will crash in your sitting room. Tomorrow, when I have recovered fully, I will go to the hotel to shower and change my clothing."


    "You want to sleep at my ce?" Xin asked almost in shock.


    She almost crashed into a street lighting the process, but she was fortunate to get back her grip on the steering.


    "Why are you acting so innocent? The other time, you so badly wanted to sleep with me. Now that I''ming to you with open arms, you don''t want to embrace me?" Fu Ling asked.


    Only God knew if he was aware of the kind of words that he was spewing at the moment. He must be too drunk to know what he was saying.


    Xin got another shock and immediately retorted, "That was before, and Sir, how can you say these kinds of words?"


    "Are you shy? Don''t be. When you told me to my face that you liked me, you probably didn''t know how that felt to me. You don''t have any choice but to bear with me." Fu Ling sucked.


    ''Is he acting shamelessly with me?'' Xin thought with a rather confused gaze on the road. She was almost losing her mind because of his words.


    Fu Ling, who was suddenly quiet, seemed to remember something and asked with his half-closed eyes, "You just said you used to like me before, does that mean you no longer like me? Did sending you to another department change your mind?"


    Xin couldn''t get more shocked than she already was. How could she answer that question? She just ignored him and increased the speed of the car.


    Fu Ling who was ignored didn''t seem bothered, didn''t see any bother because he had already continued with his speech.


    "If you don''t like me anymore after sending you to that department, then that means you were only infatuated with me, you didn''t really love me. True love doesn''t die that fast!"


    "Sir, will you shut it?!" Xin scolded with a brief angry gaze directed at him, while mistakenly pressing the horn of the car.


    Looking at her face, she was too infuriated to bother about being rude to him, despite him being her boss.


    She didn''t care if heard her or not, or if he would remember her actions or not because at this point, she just wanted him to shut his mouth and not remind her about some things.


    Fu Ling didn''t say anything again after he asked her to shut up. He even adjusted the car seat and rxed his backfortably, as if he was in his right frame of mind.


    For a second, Xin was almost scared, because the smoothness of his actions in that drunken state needed to be questioned.


    For that send she watched his movement, she was almost sure that he wasn''t drunk.


    The best thing to do whether he was fully wasted or not, was to give her gaze and concentration, back on the road.


    About twenty minutester, Xin pulled the sports car over at a block of ts, before helping him out of the car.


    Thankfully, the street was dry, so no one saw her pulling over a drunk Fu Ling into her apartment, otherwise, her own reputation would be questioned.


    Finally making it inside her house with her heavy boss, she threw him gently on her couch before stretching her body with an annoyed gaze.


    Her sitting room was very small but tidy and clean.


    After stretching her body while murmuring a few words ofint, she said to him,...

 Chapter 757 Taking over her bed

    <h4>Chapter 757 Taking over her bed</h4>


    "I''m going to freshen up and bring you a duvet."


    After saying that, she left him while massaging her shoulders with a frown. Her body first after Fu Ling put all his whole weight on her far.


    She hasn''t lifted that kind of weight before, so it was ufortable as it was a first for her.


    Ten minutester, Xin appeared dressed in a set offy clothes and still saw Fu Ling sleeping in the same position she left him.


    "Is he really asleep?" She said as she took a few steps towards him with the duvet in her hand.


    Kneeling beside him, she studied his facial features, but once her gazended on his lips, she spent some seconds before shaking her head.


    ''Xin, you need to wake up. You can''t repeat the same mistake, what if he is not sleeping?''


    She was thinking back to thest time she had tried to kiss him without knowing he was awake and had been caught red-handed.


    She couldn''t let the same thing happen, because what if he decided to sue her this time around for assault?


    Xin was truly scared of getting into trouble, as things might not end well.


    Putting the duvet over his body, her eyesnded on his sneakers, making her sigh.


    "What a hassle," She said as she got down on her knees and helped him take off his shoes and socks.


    "Where is the bathroom?" Fu Ling asked as he slowly opened his eyes.


    Xin got started with him suddenly waking up and asking questions andnded on her butts.


    ''When did he wake up?''


    "Where is our bathroom?" Fu Ling asked, more wide-awake as he tried to sit up properly with his hand over his head.


    His sleep was disturbed when he felt the need to use the bathroom, which was so annoying.


    Xin recovered from her earlier shock before showing the bathroom to him.


    "Follow me," She said as she led the way.


    Fu Ling followed after her while trying to steady his steps. If his hand wasn''t on the wall to guide him, he may have fallen to the ground.


    "You can go in. When you get back to the sitting room, please turn off the light, I''m going to bed. Good night." Xin said before turning to face the other door, adjacent to the restroom.


    "Hmm... good night." Fu Ling replied and fixed his gaze on the restroom door before opening it and going in.


    When Xin got back to her bedroom, she let out a deep breath while wondering if it was Fu Ling that was actually in her house.


    Now, it wasn''t just that he came to visit or something, he came to spend the night in her house, something that she would never have imagined in her lifetime.


    The Big boss was spending the night at her ce after getting drunk.


    It''s just now that she started to think of their situation properly.


    "Ha! Xine back to your senses!" She said to herself while pacing up and down her bedroom in a confused state.


    Finally, she stopped and climbed into her bed, and turned off her lights.


    It hasn''t been up to 3 minutes since she did that when the door to her bedroom mmed open, and Fu Ling''s figure appeared before her.


    She almost forgot that he was in her ce, and was almost scared out of her wits when he suddenly opened her door and barged in.


    "Why do you get to sleep on the bed while I sleep on the couch, don''t you know how to treat your boss well in private?" Fu Ling asked with a straight face at her.


    The way he stood and stared straight into her eyes didn''t look like he was still drunk. It looked like having a bathroom break had helped to clear his mind, but what was he talking about now?


    Xin was in a confused state after his statement. Was she supposed to vacate her bed and give it to him because he was her boss?


    "Why...why would I gi...give my bed to you?" Ahe stuttered.


    Fu Ling took a few steps forward as he dered, "I am your boss and your career future prospect lies in my hands."


    Xin had to conclude that she was being bullied. Was it because of her actions in the car? Does he remember her a reaming at him, did hee for revenge?


    "Are you unwilling to give out your bed for one night?" Fu Ling asked with borrowed brows.


    He has checked it, and there was no way he could sleepfortably on that couch which was too small for him.


    He didn''t know how to request Xin to do an exchange with him, so he shamelessly resorted to this means.


    Xin was speechless but decided to let him rest in her bedroom for one night. She was guilty of being rude to him, and given his current aura, she wasn''t sure if he heard her screaming and cursing at him.


    In fact, she was very rude to him, and she hoped that he wouldn''t take it to heart even if he heard her, since she was willing to let him have her bed.


    Sighing, she pulled the covers of the bed and git out of it. "Have a good night rest, Sir." She said as she put on her flip-flops and shifted away from him.


    A smirk appeared on Fu Ling''s lips as he climbed into her bed, and before she could disappear, he was alreadyining.


    "Why is your bed soft?"


    Xin stopped in her tracks and turned to say to him, "The couch is actually stronger. You can still have it if you want."


    "Forget it," Fu Ling said as he ced his head on the pillow. "Get the duvet I left in the sitting room"


    Xin let out a sigh of relief before walking away. She felt that she was going to have a difficult time trying to please her boss.


    When Xin returned with the thick decent and passed it to him while stretching her hand, she got pulled suddenly.

 Chapter 758 Demanding for her money after last night

    <h4>Chapter 758 Demanding for her money afterst night</h4>


    Suddenly pulled towards the bed, Xin let out a yelp just before she could find her bnce.


    Landing on Fu Ling''s chest was unexpected and before she could recover from the impact caused by her nose hitting his chest, she heard him speak.


    "Have you stopped liking me?"


    That question was so unexpected that she froze with his gaze on him. But Fu Ling pinched her arm and asked again, "I''m asking if you have stopped liking me?"


    "Ouch! Mr. Fu, can you see how suggestive our positions are? Let me go first."


    "Do you think I will let you make a move if you don''t answer my question?" Fu Ling asked.


    ''Is this part of being muddle-headed as a result of getting drunk?''


    "I don''t like you anymore." Xin blurted out.


    She could feel the hotness emitting from his body, and with her chest rubbing his abdomen, she felt ufortable and wanted to quickly escape from his clutches.


    Fu Ling gazed at her silently, and when she tried her luck to escape from him, he pulled her forcefully, making hernd on his chest again.


    Feeling her softness, and before she could spill the words she wanted to direct at him with that frown on her face, he locked her lips.


    Immediately she felt his soft lips against her own, and his wet lips trying to pry open her lips, she froze in shock, while at the same time heating siren bells in her head.


    Fu Ling who was kissing her noticed that she wasn''t breathing, and let slowly released her lips, while still holding her tightly against him.


    "You have always wanted to kiss me, why do you look so shocked now?"


    Xin came back to her senses and realized that he was already done kissing her. She tried to escape from him but failed.


    ''What is going on here?!'' She asked herself in an rmed tone.


    Did he like her?


    Was he testing her? But who the hell tests people this way?


    What is his motive for doing this?


    Is he punishing me?


    Different thoughts were going through her head when she got pinched again and forced to stare at him.


    "Do you need me to remind me of what I had done?" Fu Ling asked with a straight gaze at her.


    He really wanted to know what her reaction would be, not knowing how far he has gone.


    Seeing that she was still staring at him in shock and refusing to say anything, he captured her lips once again to kiss her.


    This time around, Xin struggled and when she failed after seeing her strong his hold was on her, she stopped and let him continue to kiss her.


    He didn''t need to remind her to breathe again, and not longter, she started to respond to his kisses, which made him release the force he used in pressing her body on him.


    At least, she wasn''t going to escape from him again.


    The next morning, Fu Ling woke up with a banging head. There was a big frown sitting on his face as he ced his hand on his forehead and slowly sat up.


    ncing at his surrounding, he saw the messy shirts and well-arranged room and sighed.


    ''Where did she run off to?'' He thought as he searched for his phone with his eyes. Sending it sitting on the nightstand, he shifted and stretched his hand to reach for it.


    It was almost 8 am.


    After going through his phone for missed calls and messages, he nced at the door to the bedroom and sighed again before slowly getting off the bed.


    He was going to find Xin in his messy shirt and pants, plus his disheveled hair.


    Opening the door, he walked along the small corridor and went into the small sitting room, but he didn''t see her there.


    Next, he made his way into the kitchen while calling out to her, but he didn''t get any response either.


    But he could tell that she was in the kitchen some time ago, giving the aroma of the different dishes he could perceive which his stomach to growl.


    He didn''t eat anything before and after drinking. After filling his stomach with alcohol the previous night, his stomach was empty, and he needed to pee badly.


    With that, he didn''t even bother to look for Xin again and rushed into the bathroom to relieve himself.


    It was when he had finished with his business and stepped out of the restroom that he heard the sound of her entrance door opening.


    ''Did she go out?''


    Making his way towards the sitting room again, he met her head-on.


    "Where did you go to?" He asked as he stared right into her eyes with a frown.


    Xin studied his expressions and gestures to know how she would reply to him because she wasn''t sure of his attitude after their affairst night.


    Seeing his messy hair and shirt, with him standing in front of her in bare feet, she said while raising the item in her hand, "I went to get you a change of clothes and a clean set of briefs in the clothing store not far from here."


    Fu Ling nced at her hand and saw the bag from a clothing store that wasn''t familiar with him before reaching out to take it from her.


    "Thank you."


    Xin refused to let go and stretched out her other hand, demanding for her money back after telling him the price of the things she bought for him.


    Fu Ling was speechless by her actions. If he wasn''t very weak, he would have loved to argue with her.


    "My wallet is in the room, follow me," He said as he turned his back to her and led the way to her bedroom.


    Xin smiled and followed him.


    "I can''t believe you would ask for money before giving the bag to me, after what went in between usst night." Fu Ling grumbled as he took out some cash from his wallet and passed it to her.


    "We only kissedst night, but that isn''t enough not to ask for my money. You are so rich, so how can I let you off?" Xin replied as she took the money and passed the bag to him.


    ''Is she acting cheeky with me?'' He scoffed.


    "I got you some toiletries as well, freshen up, I will serve the dishes," Xin said kindly before turning away.

 Chapter 759 Now an official relationship

    <h4>Chapter 759 Now an official rtionship</h4>


    In her small dining room, they both enjoyed the meal she prepared.


    Fu Ling was too hungry to say anything to her, and her cooking was top-notch.


    While eating, Fu Ling got so many calls from his mother and sister, but he didn''t answer them until he finished eating.


    He had wanted to return Meixu''s call, but she ended up calling before he could do that.


    "You didn''te homest night, and it''s past breakfast time, and you are still nowhere to be found," Meixu said with a hint of urgency.


    Everyone asked about him the previous night, but no one knew where he went to spend the night.


    The only thing Meixu knew was about the business meeting he had, and nothing else.


    "Did you check at my girlfriend''s ce?"


    "You have a girlfriend?"


    "Forget it, I will be home for lunch." Fu Ling said and terminated the call, then he met gazes with Xin who was staring at him in surprise.


    "Why are you looking at me that way? You like me, and I like you too. There is no harm in dating." Fu Ling said to her, for he understood the reason she looked so surprised.


    Xin who was shocked earlier, now looked happy as a smile bloomed on her face.


    "You like me now?" She asked expectantly.


    Fu Ling refused to reply to her and focused on his phone, pretending as if he didn''t hear a thing.


    There was no way Xin could let him rest without replying to her, hence, she continued to pester him until he had no choice but to admit to it.


    "I had no idea you were this stubborn," He said with a helpless gaze.


    Back at the Fu house, Meixu replied to her mother who was pestering her about reaching out to Fu Ling.


    "I told you about the business meeting yesterday, but currently, he is at his girlfriend''s ce."


    Fu ChuHua didn''t say anymore because she was surprised.


    The reason he was missing during dinner and breakfast the following day was because he was with his girlfriend?


    She found it a little hard to believe given his personality.


    Some dayster, Fu Juan is getting ready to pay a visit to Aiguo at the hospital. She wanted to keep monitoring him to know when he would wake up.


    The news about him in the media had quickly died down, with other important storiesing up from different people and aspects.


    Fu Juan had just stepped out of her room when she met a full-dressed Lanying in her path.


    "Are you going somewhere?" She asked with raised brows after taking a quick nce at her.


    "I heard you are going to the hospital, let mee with you," Lanying said with a gentle gaze.


    Fu Juan didn''t understand the reason she wanted toe with her, because there was no rtionship between them, and never have they had a conversation before, but she just let here with her.


    There has been a gap in their rtionship, and she agrees with her request, which should be able to amend for most of it.


    "You cane with me," Fu Juan said and led the way.


    "Thank you," Lanying smiled and followed after her.


    On their way to the hospital, Lanying asked her to stop by a flower shop.


    "What are you doing with the flowers that will wither within a day if there is no one to care for them?"


    "I don''t care if it will wither, but it should be a gift to your husband to wish him a quick recovery," Lanying said with a harmless smile.


    Fu Juan wasn''t happy with her good wishes for Aiguo, but she couldn''t show it. In the end, she allowed her to get the flowers, which would somehow help with a publicity stunt.


    Lanying knew her mother would be unhappy with that statement, and also knew that she wouldn''t be able to do anything, so she said it purposely to spite her.


    When you bite someone, and he/she can''t do anything about it, it was surely the sweetest kind of feeling ever, and that was how Lanying felt at the moment.


    When she entered the flower shop, Fu Juan remained in the car waiting for her, until she reappeared a few minutester with a bouquet of fresh yellow roses.


    Fu Juan could only stare at the flowers in annoyance before driving off.


    On getting to the hospital, Fu Juan took Lanying to the VIP room where Aiguo wasying with the help of life support.


    After taking a quick nce at him, she turned to Lanying. "I''m going to see the doctor, wait here and don''t go anywhere."


    "Mmm..." Lanying hummed in response as she watched her leave before turning to the nurse to smile at her.


    "She said I can''t leave, and I''m so thirsty, could you help me with bottled water, I don''t like drinking from the dispenser?"


    The nurse smiled back at her, "Oh, that''s not a problem at all, there are bottles of water in the refrigerator." She said as she walked to the small refrigeration and opened it.


    Taking a bottle of water out from it, she passed it to the disappointed Lanying who tried to hide her emotions.


    "You brought the flowers for the patient right?" The nurse asked as she passed with the bottle in her hand.


    She almost forgot that Lanying was holding a big bouquet of yellow roses in her arm.


    "Yes, " Lanying replied with a smile and quickly thought of another excuse to send her away.


    "Please help put it in a clean vase and a good quantity of wanted," She said while passing the bouquet to her.


    The nurse took it from her happily, "Sure, I will."


    Lanying smiled happily and took the bottle of water from her, and watched her leave through the entrance door.


    Now finally alone, she walked closer to Aiguo''s bed and took a good look at him.


    "This woman was truly merciless in her actions. This is more than a fatal case. Did she change her mind and tried to get him killed instead?"

 Chapter 760 Babies’ Gender Reveal

    <h4>Chapter 760 Babies'' Gender Reveal</h4>


    "I know the depth of your wife''s secret more than you know it, and it is my greatest wish that you had exposed her instead of threatening her with it. Now, look at your state, and see what you made her do."


    Releasing a sigh, she continued, "I was not innocent before, but she has driven me to the point of no return. I wouldn''t be as foolish as you were to threaten her, but I will do something that will force her to spill everything. When the timees, I will also expose her for doing this to you."


    "Rest well, and I wish you a quick recovery. She banned your family from seeing you, and you need to see how devasted they are. Poor people, they must be stranded and not know what to do anymore."


    Just as Lanying finished speaking, she heard the entrance door pushed open, which made her miss the moment where Aiguo''s fingers moved.


    She was distracted by the door opening and had turned in that direction.


    "You are back so soon," Lanying said with a smile when she saw Fu Juan.


    "I only made an inquiry from the doctor. Where is the nurse?" Fu Juan asked with a frown.


    "I asked her to prepare a vase for the Roses, it hasn''t been long since she left."


    "How troublesome!" Fu Juan meant that bringing flowers over was troublesome.


    Lanying ignored that statement she made and asked, "What did the doctor say?"


    Being reminded of the doctor''s words, Fu Juan frowned. These were the doctor''s words to her...


    "It won''t be long before he regains consciousness. His body is resounding to the treatment being given to him by a prominent visiting doctor your father contracted."


    "Mum?" Lanying tried to get her attention back and seeded.


    "You don''t need to know what he said to me, let''s go to the Orphanage, I''m sure you missed the children," Fu Juan said as she took onest look at Aiguo before turning to leave.


    Lanying was not a fool. From her mother''s facial expression, she could understand that things were not going well for her, which meant there was progress in her husband''s recovery soon.


    ****************


    Jia Li and Fu Hua have decided to check their babies'' genders today after much pestering from Fu Hee who was in a hurry to get her grandchildren.


    She wanted to shop for them to her hearts'' content and not be restricted by their gender.


    She would easily buy unisex newborn clothes and items for them, but she didn''t want to do it like before.


    She was so prepared with sorting out the colors to represent the babies'' genders.


    If they were having twin girls, then she would get clothes in yellow and pink, red and white in case they are fraternal twins. But if they were to be identical twins, she would get them the same colors of matching dresses.


    Then if it were to be twin boys or mixed genders, she would not what to do. The most important part was to find out their babies'' genders first.


    "What do you think we are having?" Fu Hua asked as he helped her into the back passenger seat of his jeep.


    "I have no idea, but I think I want mixed genders or two boys." Jia Li replied.


    Fu Hua smiled and caressed her hair, "Are you sure you would want twin boys?"


    "Yes, what''s wrong with it?" Jia Li asked. His question had an underlying meaning she wanted to find out.


    Fu Hua nced around before leaning in to say to her in a small voice, "I heard that baby boys do suck a lot, are you ready for the experience of your nipples being sore for servers months just from feeding them?"


    There was nothing to be shy about his words, but he didn''t want her to smack him if anyone was nearby, so he had to lean over.


    "How do you know that? You speak as if you''ve had a wife you were close to before, and she probably gave birth to a boy." Jia Li said with a taunting gaze.


    Fu Hua pinched her cheek, "You are speaking as if you don''t know how much research I''ve been doing these days since after finding out about the twins."


    Jia Li pushed his hands away and chuckled softly. "Of course I know, I just wanted to tease you. I''m not sure I have thought about my nipples being sore from breastfeeding. Now thanks to you, I have one more thing to worry about on my list."


    "I was just trying to remind you to be prepared." Fu Hua said with a wink as he rxedfortably on the car door.


    "Your job is to stand there and remind me of what to worry about after nting the seed and leaving me to water and care for it. How easy your life is." Jia Li sulked.


    She felt that Fu Hua had his life easy. The only thing he did was to sleep with her and get her pregnant, while all the work of nurturing was left to her to take care of.


    Fu Hua saw her sulking like a child and couldn''t helpughing out loud. She looked so funny, yet unreasonable while acting that way.


    "Are you being jealous right now? You are so funny. Although I don''t get to share much in the huge responsibility you have to undertake alone, that is why I''m working so hard to care for you and make sure you arefortable. Don''t be angry okay?"


    Jia Li hugged her chest and moved her face to the other side, she didn''t want to let him have it easy.


    Fu Hua ended up pinching her boobs and angering her in the process, but before they got to the hospital, they reconciled once again.


    "I see a girl and a boy! Congrattions!" The doctor said with a big smile while pointing to the monitor.


    After watching closely on the ultrasound scan, the doctor revealed the big news to them.

 Chapter 761 A piece of shocking news

    <h4>Chapter 761 A piece of shocking news</h4>


    How could the Fu family stay at a ce with this news? How could they keep quiet? Of course, it wasn''t possible to be calm after giving this kind of news to them.


    They had another little celebration amongst themselves.


    "Jia Li, we are going to host a baby shower for you soon, and this is going to be so much fun with your friends around," Meixu said excitedly.


    "Yeah! I wish I could bring my close friends to make things lively, but that will depend on my sister-inw''s choice." FangSu said as she pped her hands.


    "Thank you," Jia Li said with a big smile. She was so happy that she couldn''t even pretend to be the quiet person she was.


    Fu Hee pped her hands an. said with a prod gaze, "Alright, don''t stress my daughter-inw."


    "Jasmine and sister-inw would be celebrating their birthdays in 2 weeks, which falls in July, and the next month after that will be FJ''s fashion show. It would be good to have the baby shower some days after that."


    YingPei suggested after giving an overview of the events worth celebrating.


    "That''s a good date, and it will be a private party." Fu Hua revealed.


    He was going to host a big private baby shower for his dearest wife. He would do anything to show his appreciation toward her.


    Right there, after chatting about Jia Li''s baby shower, YingPei mentioned the swimming lessons for Jasmine.


    "Brother, this ss is very important for your little princess. She is not too young to learn swimming."


    "Are you recruiting students for your girlfriend''s club?" Jia Li asked wig a teasing gaze.


    YingPei chuckled at being exposed, but still went on to talk about the importance of a swimming ss to Jasmine, the little girl who was staring at him with her round innocent eyes.


    Fu Hua ced his hand on her head and asked with a smile, "Would you like to learn how to swim from your Aunty Daiyu?"


    Jasmine first nced at her mother before ncing back at him and nodded.


    "Eat," Fu Hua smiled back at her before shifting his gaze to YingPei.


    "Her swimming ss will begin in August during the long break from school."


    YingPei said with a smile while featuring with his fingers, "Okay."


    A weekter, Fu Juan learned a piece of shocking news, Aiguo had regained consciousness, and she just had to hear it from her father who called her into his study.


    "Aiguo is awake, so as the divorce papers, but we would give him 2 days to regain strength in his hands for him to sign the papers. In the meantime, start packing your things."


    Fu Juan was disheartened, but she tried not to show it until she left his study and walked along the hallway toward her bedroom.


    Her father was really tired of her and couldn''t wait to throw her out. It looks like she has overstayed her wee.


    Going back to her bedroom, Fu Juan sat on her bed lost in thought. She was trying to see if there was another way she could dy leaving?


    It felt so much better to live in the big Mansion with family and servants surrounding you.


    Somehow, she was starting to regret making trouble in the first ce, maybe, her father and no one in the family would want her to leave.


    Nobody would want to stay with someone who makes them ufortable and brings them trouble.


    Although she has been quiet and respectful these days, that hasn''t made any difference to them The damage has already been done.


    Thinking about finding a new way to stay back at the Fu house, the thought of killing Aiguo crossed her mind, but that will only get her into trouble now that he was under her father''s watch.


    Also if found out somehow that she killed him, she and the Fu family will go in for it. Actually, this would not work because she would still have to leave the Fu house possibly at the soonest, so she ruled out that idea.


    Thinking about harming herself so she could be bedridden at home and the old man would have no. House but to ask Fu Hee to make sure she is well taken care of.


    After having different thoughts in her head, she found out that none of them were worth it, and she punched her bed angrily.


    Now she was thinking of the reason Aiguo''s doctor didn''t call her first to inform her about his regaining consciousness.


    "I told him to inform me of such an important news first, but he still went in to inform my father first!"


    Every time Fu Juan went to the hospital to visit her husband, she would make sure to drop by the doctor''s office, and after talking about Aiguo''s health, she would remind him about contacting her first when he woke up, but it looks like she has been wasting her saliva.


    Picking up her phone, she called the doctor, and when he picked up, she didn''t wait for his greetings, and just went straight to the point.


    "I learned from my father that my husband has regained consciousness. If I didn''t know him well, I would have thought he was ying a prank on me, because you were supposed to inform me of such important news first!"


    The doctor could sense her anger from her tone and quickly apologized.


    "I''m sorry about that, but your father told me about this before you did when he first contacted me before the surgery."


    "If that really happened, why didn''t you say it on time?! You let me act like a worried fool before you."


    Not wanting to hear his excuse again, she hung up and threw her phone on the bed, and ruffled her hair.


    It took her a while to calm her emotions before deciding to get dressed and pay a visit to Aiguo in the hospital.


    This time around, Lanying was dressed again after learning of the news, and knowing that her mother would want to pay a visit to him. But to her surprise, Fu Juan didn''t let her.

 Chapter 762 The face-off

    <h4>Chapter 762 The face-off</h4>


    "You are noting with me this time around."


    "Why?" Lanying asked with a confused gaze. The other time, she let here with her, so why was it different this time around?


    Fu Juan gave her a good nce before asking, "Do I need any reason?"


    Lanying was silenced by her question and could only apologize and watch as she left.


    Clenching her fists by her sides, she turned to walk back to her room.


    Outside the house, Fu Juan was surprised to see Butler Li waiting for her.


    "Are you going somewhere?" She asked with raised brows.


    "I''ming with you, I need to pay a visit to your husband on Master''s behalf." Butler Li replied.


    Grandfather Fu knew that Fu Juan would want to visit the hospital, so he sent Butler Li to follow up on his behalf, and also to monitor her.


    Fu Juan released a deep sigh before getting into her car. She wanted to see how Aiguo was doing and speak to him, but it looks like that won''t be happening, as she has gotpany.


    By the time they got to the hospital, Aiguo had fallen asleep again, hence they had to wait and kill time by going to the doctor''s office to confirm some important info from him.


    Aiguo would be needing therapy to move his leg muscles again. His left arm was dislocated, and some torn tendons were worked on during the surgery, but it will take a while more before he can use it.


    His right hand was perfectly alright, which meant that he could still sign the divorce papers, much to Fu Juan''s anguish.


    Thirty minutester, Aiguo awoke again, and the nurse taking care of him called the doctor''s office to announce it.


    Butler Li, Fu Juan, and the doctor had to make a trip down to the VIP room.


    All that was going through Aiguo''s head, were the shes of the ident scene, and nothing more. When he finally managed to divert his attention, he asked the nurse who was the first person he saw when he opened his eyes for the first time, of the current date, and how long he has been hospitalized.


    The nurse replied to him, but before he could say something about his second family, he slipped into unconsciousness again.


    Now that he had woken up for the second time, he could ask the same question again, which surprised the nurse.


    No outsider knew he had a second family so this came as a surprise to the nurse who looked dumbfounded.


    This was the scent the trio saw when they stepped into the VIP room.


    "Mr. Aiguo, you just woke up, you need to take it easy not to be so agitated." The doctor said as he rushed to his side.


    Aiguo wasn''t going to listen and was insistent on making his demands, which angered Fu Juan, whom he had not seen yet.


    "You just woke up, and the first thing on your mind is to embarrass me and my family?"


    Aiguo heard her voice and shifted his gaze slowly towards her.


    "You are here?" He asked in a hoarse voice.


    "If I''m not here, what other worse thing would you have done? You are asking for the second family which is a big evidence of your adultery, not minding what will happen if the press manages to get a hold of this news. Are you purposely trying to disrespect my father and my Fu family?"


    Fu Juan was so angry that she didn''t bother to hide her emotions. In fact, there was nothing to hide when he was being like that in the presence of the nurse and doctor. He asked for it.


    Butler Li stood by the side and watched the drama going on, it was not yet his time to intervene.


    Aiguo paused to catch a deep breath before saying, "I haven''t seen my family for weeks now, and from what I understand, you didn''t let theme to visit me, not even once, so I want to see them now."


    Fu Juan scoffed, "They are not going to step foot into this hospital to see you. If you miss them so much, wait till you are discharged. Don''t pave the way to shame my family!"


    "My phone should be with you, right? Give it to me, let me call my wife and speak to my children!" Aiguo said to her with reddened eyes.


    He was equally angry, but he couldn''t show it that much because he was still very weak, and bedridden.


    "If that woman you cheated on me with, is your wife, then who am I? Must you go this far with shamelessness?" Fu Juan roared.


    The doctor and the nurse who was silently checking on Aiguo and monitoring his blood pressure shifted to another side.


    They didn''t know there was such a big story in their family.


    "We will be getting a divorce very soon, and even before then, I no longer see you as my wife," Aiguo replied.


    He didn''t know she would go this far to separate his family from him when he was powerless. How evil she was.


    Before Fu Juan couldsh out angrily, Butler Li stepped in, which surprised Aiguo.


    "Mr. Aiguo, Major General Fu would like you to rest properly for 2 days before signing the divorce papers. Awyer will get in touch with you tomorrow, to read out the agreement before you can sign them."


    "We don''t have to wait till after FJ''s fashion show?" Aiguo asked in surprise, but with an expectant gaze.


    If this was true, then he wouldn''t have to do what he had in mind earlier to a particr someone.


    "There is no need to waste time," Butler Li confirmed before turning to Fu Juan.


    "Master knows you have his phone, and asked you to release it to him. He can speak with his family, but they shouldn''t visit him until the divorce papers have been signed, and only then can Mr. Aiguo be left in their care."

 Chapter 763 Lanying’s plans

    <h4>Chapter 763 Lanying''s ns</h4>


    Fu Juan was very dissatisfied with her Father''s decision, and how she couldn''t do things at her will.


    "Mr. Li, please I want to have a private conversation with Juan," Aiguo said with a tired gaze on him.


    "Sure," Butler Li nced at Fu Juan and then at the doctor before leaving. Behind him, the doctor and nurse followed immediately.


    Now left alone, Fu Juan scoffed, "What kind of private conversation do you want to have with me?"


    "I just want to ask you one question. Do you have anything to do with my ident?"


    Fu Juan was really good at hiding her emotions, or it was because she did not fear him.


    "On what grounds would you direct that kind of question to me? It looks like you have a little bit of concussion."


    Aiguo smiled and said, "I really hope that you had no hand in this if not, I will pull you and the entire Fu family down. Also, there is no need toe anymore, just send the phone over to me through a servant. As for the divorce papers, I will have them sent back to your family after signing them."


    "Who wants to see you again? Don''t forget that you still owe me for your adultery," Fu Juan said and turned on her heels.


    "I believe I have paid you back and allowed you to do what you wanted," Aiguo said.


    Fu Juan scoffed without looking back and continued in her step.


    After she left, Aiguo was left deep in thoughts with his gaze at the entrance.


    "Butler Li, let''s go," Fu Juan said to him as he was conversing with the doctor.


    Butler Li bade farewell to the doctor before following after her.


    Back at the Fu Mansion, Fu Juan handed Aiguo''s phone to Butler Li. The phone was a little damaged with a huge crack on the screen. But due to the phone not being used for long, it ran out of battery, so it needed to be charged before it can be used again.


    Butler Li nced at the phone before thanking her and walking away.


    As Fu Juan turned to go back to her bedroom angrily, she met face to face with Lanying who requested an audience with her.


    "Come into my bedroom," Fu Juan said to her, not bothering to hide her emotions.


    Lanying followed after her and found a good position to sit once inside the bedroom.


    "What did youe to see me for?" Fu Juan asked. Her tome wasn''t gentle at all, and being smart, Lanying knew she was angry.


    It was normal for her emotions to fluctuate given the news of her husband''s awakening. Since she was unhappy with the situation, she was bound to be angry at every moment.


    "I heard your husband is awake, does that mean the divorce will go on?" Lanying asked.


    Fu Juan stared at her for a few seconds before responding, "The divorce will take ce in 2 days, which means that we have to leave the Fu house the same day. It''s good that you are here. Start making preparations to leave with me."


    "We are leaving here in 2 days?" Lanying asked in surprise.


    She saw how arduous Aiguo''s injuries were, sons he wondered if it was normal for him to hold a pen in that condition, and what was the reason for signing the divorce that soon? Wouldn''t it mean that the time her mother bought was not that meaningful?


    In fact, the time her mother bought with that ident she manipted, was what got her pped and beaten so hard by Meixu.


    If she didn''t buy more time, she wouldn''t have lost her cool so easily.


    "Yes we are, and it will be for good. The only time we cane back is during a big event. Da Xia''s birthday is in 2 weeks, and if it''s going to be a big celebration, we will be invited. FJ Styles is having hed fashion week, but I doubt Fu Hua would want to invite us. Nevertheless, there are other events happening in the family every year, so you will get toe here more often with me," Fu Juan said to her in a rxed tone.


    It looks like she was starting to be calm, and not think too much about them not living with the rest of the family members.


    But if she was starting to feel this way, why did she go ahead with that ident trap for hed Aiguo?


    Although she didn''t want to divorce him, she would have continued holding back while living in her own house.


    Lanying didn''t seem to be in a good mood as she asked, "Mum, you mean we are leaving in 2 days, what about my cousins not being on good terms with me, don''t you have anything to say to them?"


    "What do I have to say to them? Liking you is not to be forced. All these events being hosted by my family yearly is a great opportunity for you to start bonding with them. Even though you are my adopted daughter, they wouldn''t use that against you, as they are not like that," Fu Juan said with a hint of a smile.


    When Lanying heard her refer to her as her adopted daughter, she almost lost it. She clenched her fists by her side and tried so hard to hide her anger, but they weren''t of many effects, because Fu Juan saw that she was angry.


    Thinking that she was angry about leaving the Fu house without getting to bond with her family, she threw a few words offort to her.


    But Lanying couldn''t stand it. She immediately got up from her seat and said to her, "I will go and start making preparations for moving out in 2 days."


    Fu Juan knew she was still unhappy, and let her be.


    Outside the room door, Lanying red daggers at the door as if she wanted to stare a hole in Fu Juan''s heart.


    Twenty secondster, she returned to her room breathing heavily due to anger.


    "Fu Juan, you have really pushed me to the war. I try every time not to be like you, but you keep pushing me and giving me reasons why I have to take any step to get want I want, not minding the harm I bring to others."


    Pacing up and down her bedroom, she continued, "How can you leave here without introducing me properly to your family members? Do you take me for a fool or what? You go on to deceive everybody including me. If I hadn''t found out the truth and deliberately pretended not to know anything about it, I would have been left in the dark since."


    Walking towards her desk, she pulled her phone out to check the time.


    "It''s toote to prepare a grand event for everyone but I will surely do that by tomorrow evening so everyone will get to watch this good movie. I don''t care what happens to me at the end, but what will happen to you is that I''m most concerned about," Lanying said with a distorted gaze.


    She looked so evil with that smile on her face. She didn''t care anymore, and she wasn''t going to do that anymore because it wasn''t giving her what she wanted.


    "Fu Juan, don''t me me. Every crime that I willmit from now henceforth will be to go against your Fu family. Just you wait, I will teach you life lessons that your parents forgot to teach you!"


    Lanying made this promise while clenching her fists tightly with a murderous gaze.


    She was going to bring the woman named Fu Juan down.


    During dinner, Fu Juan ate calmly, not knowing that Grandfather Fu was watching her. The old man was keeping an eye on her to confirm the doubts about her possibility of doing something just to stay back at the family house.


    Thinking back to the time she came and since then, she has been giving excuses just to stay back, for one reason or the other, and that was making him suspect her.


    But he had never linked her to the ident that Aiguo was involved in because he thought she would never do something like that.


    For now, he was going to monitor her to see what kind of excuse she would have in 2 days, that will stop her from leaving the Fu house. The old man really wanted to see what she was up to.


    Lanying ate calmly just like her mother did. She was very calm because of the great ns she had the next day.


    The atmosphere in the dining room looked harmonious as everyone seemed to be enjoying their food and making small talk.


    "Hua, could you please send two VIP tickets for the FJ Autumn fashion show to my ce?" Fu Juan asked with a warm smile.


    Fu Hua was not surprised by her warm tone because these days, she has been acting like that.


    "I will have to think about it first," Fu Hua replied after a nce at her.

 Chapter 764 Lanying’s trick

    <h4>Chapter 764 Lanying''s trick</h4>


    Think about it? He would have to see if she was worthy of it.


    Lanying sneered in her heart. For once, she thought that there was going to be a change of ns.


    She even med herself for still thinking about her mother''s change of her heart, but it looks like she was wasting her emotions.


    ''Lanying get a hold of yourself!'' She reminded herself.


    After dinner, everyone retired to their bedrooms for the night.


    Meixu immediately got on the phone with Shi Qiao who was asking her when he woulde to pick her up.


    "How could you have the heart to abandon your newly wedded husband?" Shi Qiao asked with a down caster facial expression.


    He was really missing her and wanted her around his arms. So they would talk about everything and have a little romance after that.


    Meixu smiled, knowing fully well how much they have missed each other. Honestly, she didn''t know she was going to stay for this long because of her Aunt.


    She thought they would have left immediately after Jia Li''s new clothingunch, but they ended up staying for 2 more weeks due to Aiguo''s ident.


    "Husband, your wife will be back in 3 days. My Aunt will be leaving in 2 days, so I wille back the next day. But if you miss me too much, you cane over tomorrow, and we can leave together on that day."


    Shi Qiao mulled over her words for a few seconds before replying, "I wille in 2 days, then we can leave together."


    "You are the best?" Meixu screamed excitedly.


    Shi Qiao chuckled before going on to ask her how her day was and everything she did. This was the time for them to catch up with their day-to-day activities.


    Back in Jia Li and Fu Hua''s bedroom, both of them were sweating things off.


    Because of her baby bump, Fu Hua could no longer put his whole weight on her. He had to prop on his hands while doing the missionary style.


    When he was finally done, he kissed her lips deeply beforeying beside her and breathing rapidly.


    "I don''t know how someone would be pregnant and look so beautiful!"


    Jia Li managed to let out a soft chuckle in-between taking deep breaths.


    Even while pregnant with that fast-growing baby bump, she was still active in bed, because her husband wouldn''t let her off.


    She was still okay with it, so she couldn''t say no to him.


    "I won''t join you to practice Yoga tomorrow morning, I have to be in the office early." Fu Hua announced, changing topics immediately.


    "Tomorrow is Saturday, why do you have to be in the office?" Jia Li asked with a slight frown.


    She didn''t want to miss hispany in the morning and the entire day, so she was a bit unhappy.


    Fu Hua pinched her cheeks gently and said, "I need to work speedily on one more design that will be going for the fashion show. What about your designs, is it ready?"


    "I have long submitted mine a while ago, and I hope it gets picked." Jia Li replied with a smile.


    "Why wouldn''t it be picked, you are so talented and everyone can attest to that?" Fu Hua kissed her cheeks and brought her into his arms.


    Jia Li was only happy for a moment before going back to her sulking mood. "Still, can''t you spend the morning with me, and work on the design in your study, I promise that Jasmine won''t disturb you."


    Fu Hua smiled and didn''t know what to say to her. He so badly wanted to keep herpany, but he needed 5 hours straight for that design, and there was no way he would bear to stay away from them for that long.


    Staying in his study could cause him to forget about time. And staying at home and staying away from them at the same time doesn''t look good, so it was better for him to be at the office and know that it was a valid reason to not see them.


    "Do you know the best part of your pregnancy?" Fu Hua asked out of the blue. There was a cheeky smile on his face as he asked that question.


    "What is it?" Jia Li asked curiously.


    Fu Hua leaned in to whisper to her, "We get to make love without bothering that you take in again,"


    Fu Hua git a whack on his arm after that, and could onlyugh while watching her get off the bed.


    "Where are you going to?" He asked after her.


    "To pee of course, and to wash your scent off my body. Change the sheets before I get back!" Jia Li said without looking back.


    Fu Hua chuckled loudly and said after watching her waist seeing from side to side, and the way her butts moved and vibrated in rhythm.


    "You know, I think I like your backside more," He said to her with a naughty gaze on her.


    Jia Li paused in her steps and turned to re at him, "Pervert!"


    As she turned to her side, Fu Hua nced at her right boobs and licked his lips seductively.


    "Why do I feel that I like your front side more?" He teased.


    Jia Li could no longer tolerate his flirts and immediately walked away after ring at him one more time.


    "Wait! I think I like all parts of you!" Fu Hua added just before she could disappear from his sight.


    When he heard no response from her, he chuckled to himself before getting off the bed.


    His wife asked him to change the sheets therefore he had to do that after teasing her, or he might receive a good beating from her.


    These days, her temper was like a volcano, and fortunately for him, he knew when to stop otherwise if he gets beaten and tells people, no one will believe him, talk more of saving him.


    The next day, Fu Hua joined Jia Li in her Yoga exercise and even had breakfast together with the entire family before leaving for work.


    On his way to the entrance, Fu Hee stopped him and gave him a good reminder before letting him go.


    "Don''t take too long at the office. This is the weekend which is the perfect period to spend time with your family."


    Fu Hua agreed with what she said and even promised to return at noon.


    Everything seemed to have been going in well until Lanying decided to strike.


    Around 11 AM, Lanying met Jia Li and Jasmine sitting outside on the veranda, reading books of different interests.


    Actually, Lanying was looking for Jasmine and found the two of them together after asking a servant for her whereabouts.


    She had asked the servant nicely so of course she was told where she was, without her (the servant) suspecting a thing.


    There was a ss of milk before Jasmine, and a bunch of bananas and grapes before Jia Li, which they enjoyed while reading their books.


    "Mummy, my pencil has broken again, and my sharpener is not here, can you help me with it?" Jasmine asked with a frozen as she showed off her pencil which had a broken mouth.


    Jia Li took the pencil from her and gave a good nce at it before sighing. "How do you hold your pencil?"


    "I didn''t hold it too strong as you thought me. The mouth of the pencil has been shaking for a while," Jasmine replied with an innocent gaze.


    Jia Li sighed again and looked around for a servant to send on an errand but she didn''t see anybody because she had sent them away earlier.


    She was about to tell her little daughter for them to go and look for her sharpener together, or if she could wait for her toe back when Lanying who was watching from the pir, emerged.


    "Sister Jia Li, please I need your help..." Lanying said with a worried gaze as she took steady steps towards them.


    Jia Li nced at her in surprise before asking, "What is it?" She was surprised that she came to her for help.


    "Can you share your hotspot for me, I need to reply to a message to my friend. I don''t know why mywork is not working," Lanying said with a big frown.


    She looked as if it was a big deal and needed her help to get through it.


    "You need my inte connection?" Jia Li asked.


    Lanying thought she wasn''t going to help her so, she immediately said, "I''m sorry to bother you, but I really had no choice. My mother is not at home, and the servants do not carry their phones during work hours, and there was no one I could ask for help."


    Jia Li understood that nobody would want to help her because they were off the list.


    "Is not that I don''t want to help you, but my phone is not here. If this is not an emergency, you can wait for me to get my phone,"


    "Of course, I will wait!" Lanying said gracefully. She was careful in her acting not to appear too fake.


    Jasmine nced at her mother and reminded her about the sharpener for her pencil.


    "I know, I won''t forget it," Jia Li replied before leaving.

 Chapter 765 Deceiving the little girl

    <h4>Chapter 765 Deceiving the little girl</h4>


    "Da Xia, can I see what you are painting?" Lanying asked with a harmless smile as she approached the little girl.


    Jasmine stared at her innocently and didn''t know how to react to her request.


    The little girl didn''t hate Lanying nor did she have any liking towards her. Actually, no one has ever told her to hate her. Not having any particr liking towards her was caused by the little dramas at the dinner table.


    Seeing the hesitation in the little girl''s sight, Lanying squatted next to her and started to treat her sweetly.


    "Da Xia, you have a beautiful sketch here. Can you tell me what this is?" She asked while pointing at one of the sketches in the book.


    Jasmine followed her finger to the football she drew and said, "It''s a football!"


    "Wow! it is pretty, and you got the pattern right!" Lanying said as she pped her hands.


    "Thank you!" Jasmine finally replied with a smile.


    The little girl liked to be praised because to her, it was a sign of encouragement.


    In the heat of the moment, Lanying pulled out one piece of banana from the bunch and pulled it, before handing it to the little girl.


    "Here is your reward!" Lanying said with a sweet smile.


    Jasmine nced at the banana in her hand with a frown before shifting her gaze back to her, "This belongs to my Mummy."


    Lanying''s smile froze, but she was fast to react on time. "I know it belongs to your mummy, but you see, Aunty doesn''t have any other thing to give to you, and it wouldn''t be nice to not give anything to you, hence I took something from your mummy to reward you. Don''t worry, if you are worried about it, I would tell your mummy that I gave it to you."


    While she was speaking to her, Jasmine was staring intently at the banana in her mind, while trying to recall what her mother had said to her when she first asked for it, but with Lanying talking earnestly beside her, she couldn''t seem to remember.


    "Why don''t you take a bite and let me know if it is sweet? I don''t like bananas because I''m afraid that it''s bitter, but my mother has always said that is it sweet but I don''t believe her. Please check for me!" Lanying said as she pushed the banana into the little girl''s mouth with an expectant gaze.


    Jasmine was forced to take a huge chunk of the banana in her mouth and chewed on it. The little girl looked a little annoyed and wanted to say something, but Lanying distracted her again.


    "Is it that bitter?" Lanying asked with a disgusted look on her face.


    "It''s not bitter at all, bananas are sweet, why don''t you try it?" Jasmine said with an annoyed gaze as she shoved the banana toward her.


    ''The banana is not bitter at all, why is sheining?'' The little girl thought to herself.


    Lanying bit off a little chunk of the banana before eating. And slowly, she rxed her facial expression.


    "Wow! It''s so sweet!" Lanying said while nodding her head with a big smile on her face.


    "See, I told you! You can have more of you want." Jasmine said as she handed the remaining banana in her hand to her.


    "No thank you, you can eat it all. I only wanted to have a taste," Lanying said and pushed it back to her.


    Jasmine nced at the banana in her hand and didn''t know what to do with it. She couldn''t put it back in the bowl along with the others because it was already peeled, and her mother would scold her, so she decided to finish it.


    ''This should be enough!''


    The little girl has only taken another bite when Lanying snatched it from her out of guilt. "Let me finish it up!"


    "Okay!" Jasmine said before fixing her gaze on her book.


    Lanying stared at the little girl and apologized to her in her mind.


    ''Jasmine, I am really sorry for what I have done.''


    Waking up from her thoughts, and knowing that Jia Li or any other person would soone over, she said to the little girl, "Jasmine, if your tummy hurts, you must tell your mother immediately! Do you hear me?"


    "Why would my tummy hurt?" Jasmine asked with a little confusion in her gaze.


    "Just do as I say. As soon as you experience any sign of difort, you must tell your mother okay?" Lanying said while staring at her intently.


    Jasmine was a little lost but managed to nod her head in understanding. "Okay!"


    "Good girl! I am leaving now." Lanying said and turned to leave with a sigh of relief, not knowing that a servant heard her, but couldn''t fathom what urred.


    The servant felt that everything wasn''t alright, and was about to leave her job and go and check on Jasmine when she met FangSu.


    "Where are you going to? Are you trying to ck off?" FangSu asked.


    The servant felt relieved on seeing FangSu, and immediately pointed at the window and recounted what she heard Lanying saying to Jasmine.


    "What? Lanying is all alone with my niece?" FangSu asked with bloodshot eyes as she quickly ran close to the window to have a look.


    She didn''t trust Lanying at all.


    ncing through the window, Lanying was nowhere to be found, as only Jasmine was seen staring intently at her book.


    Thinking that Lanying must gave left before shee, she didn''t talk to the servant again, and instead went down the stairs. She was going to find Jasmine first before approaching Lanying.


    Not long after Lanying left, Jia Li returned with the sharpener Jasmine asked for, plus some crayons in case she would need them.


    "Thank you, mummy!" Jasmine said with a big smile on her face.


    Jia Li chuckled at her cute gesture and the corner of her life that was stained with milk.


    ncing at the ss of milk, She saw that she had drank more from it since she left.


    "Jasmine, you are not a child anymore, wipe that milk off your mouth," Jia Li said to her.

 Chapter 766 Jasmine in an emergency situation

    <h4>Chapter 766 Jasmine in an emergency situation</h4>


    The little girl quickly brought up her palms to her mouth to wipe the milk off. It was after she did that, that Jia Li remembered that Lanying was not there.


    "Where did Lanying go to?" Jia Li asked with a curious gaze on the little girl.


    "Aunt Lanying left not long ago. But she is weird!" Jasmin said with her gaze on her book. She had just picked up a crayon to color the football she had drawn.


    It was at this point that FangSu appeared in a rush. Both mother and daughter shifted their gazes to her.


    "Did you run over here?" Jia Li asked with raised brows.


    "Of course, I did immediately I found out that Lanying was here all alone with Jasmine," FangSu said as she took quick steps towards them with an ugly expression on her face.


    A small smile appeared on Jia Li''s face, "I know she was here. She asked me for help, but I couldn''t do that immediately because I had to go inside to get a sharpener and a pack of crayons for Jasmine. Also, my phone was left in the bedroom."


    "Sister-inw, I don''t trust that girl!" FangSu said in disapproval, but she got a sign from Jia Li not to speak like that in Jasmine''s presence.


    FangSu nced at the little girl who was staring intently at them, looking very curious and interested in what they were saying.


    FangSu gave up on speaking ill against Lanying in front of the little girl and turned to Jia Li to whisper the words the servant heard Lanying say.


    While this was going on, Jasmine felt ufortable in her stomach and shifted ufortably on her seat. But she still had her gaze on her book now.


    "Why would she say that?" Jia Li asked with a slight frown as she was starting to be ufortable.


    First, Lanying came to ask her for help but left before she coulde back.


    "I don''t know, that''s all the servant heard, so I immediately rushed down to check on Da Xia," FangSu said as she shifted her gaze to Jasmine before taking a seat.


    Jia Li shifted her gaze to the little girl who had an obvious frown on her face and asked, "Jasmine, did Lanying tell you toin to me if your stomach hurts?"


    Jasmine moved her gaze to her and asked in surprise, "How did you know?"


    "She really sad something like that?" FangSu asked with a deep frown.


    Jasmine nced at the two women and said innocently, "Aunt Lanying did say that, and she is weird. She gave me mummy''s banana to eat as a reward for my good drawing, and then she told me toin to her if my stomach hurts."


    Immediately Jia Li heard that, her eyes flew to the bunch of bananas in the bowl in panic. She couldn''t tell how many pieces she left behind, and because she had been eating from them, she also couldn''t tell if any were yanked from the bunch.


    FangSu saw Jia Li''s reaction and became a little apprehensive and asked, "Sister-inw, is something wrong with the banana?"


    "Nothing is wrong with it, but it won''t be good for Jasmine because she has been drinking milk." Jia Li said an anxious gaze on Jasmine.


    It was then that FangSu noticed the ss of milk in front of Jasmine and looked more rmed.


    Banana and milk when eaten in the same span of time, cause food poisoning in toddlers. And even she knew about it because Jasmine was everyone''s priority in the house, so everyone knew what she could eat and could not eat, plus those she couldn''t eat together.


    But given that Lanying said the little girl should tell her mother if she experiences pain after feeding her bananas, it was obvious that she knew the repercussion.


    "What the f*ck!" FangSu caused out loud and she got up from her seat.


    Jasmine looked a little rmed because of her sudden action and wanted to move as well, but she felt intense pain in her stomach and clutched it with furrowed brows.


    Jia Li who was already trying to connect with Jasmine''s doctor on phone, looked more panicked as she asked the little girl, "Does your stomach hurt?"


    "It hurts!" Jasmine said unbearably.


    FangSu rushed to her side to pat her back andfort her.


    "FangSu, I need you to call YingPei, tell him to get his car keys, we have to take Jasmine to the hospital immediately, hurry!" Jia Li said with a big frown on her face.


    FangSu quickly rushed out, while Jia Li knelt beside the little girl while trying to connect to her daughter.


    "Jasmine, you will be fine okay, mummy is here with you!"


    The little girl managed to nod with a pained expression on her face.


    Right then, her daughter finally answered her call.


    "Sorry Mrs. Fu, I was in an emergency when you called, sorry for taking too long to answer your calls, is everything okay?" The doctor said in a calm manner.


    Jia Li immediately told the doctor of Jasmine''s current situation and what had caused it.


    "Being her to the hospital immediately, we will get things ready at this end" The doctor said in a state of urgency before ending the call.


    Jia Li quickly called Fu Hua who was still in his office rounding up work.


    When Fu Hua got her call, he smiled and answered it, "Did you miss me?"


    This was not the mood to be teased given Jasmine''s current situation. Jia Li immediately responded almost in tears, "Pleasee back now, Jasmine had food poisoning,"


    Immediately, the smile on Fu Hua''s face disappeared as his gaze turned anxious, "Food poisoning? How did that happen, what did she eat?"


    While asking these questions, Fu Hua had already picked up his car keys and was already leaving his office.


    "She ate banana and milk. Lanying gave her a banana when she was drinking milk. Fu Hua, you have toe back immediately! YingPei will take Jasmine and me to the hospital!" Jia Li said in tears just after she heard her little girl moaning in pain.


    Jasmine was trying to stop herself from crying, so she wouldn''t have to worry about her mother who was already crying.

 Chapter 767 Drag her out!

    <h4>Chapter 767 Drag her out!</h4>


    A dark aura surrounded Fu Hua as he made his way out of his office and straight to the underground parking lot.


    His personal assistant who saw him leave with a dark face quickly tidied up and chased after him.


    Because Fu Hua got into his personal elevator and the door shut before he could join him, Zimo was left with the option of using the stairs to the next floor or going down the hall to use the public elevator.


    Atst, Zimo managed to catch up with him just before he could drive off.


    At the Fu mansion, FangSu caused a hugemotion while calling YingPei to get his car keys.


    "Why are you screaming, have you lost your manners?" Fu Hee asked angrily as she walked out of the kitchen, after hearing her loud urgent tone.


    "Mum, Jasmine is in danger!" FangSu said urgently.


    Immediately Fu Hee lost herposure and asked with a worried gaze, "What happened to her, where is she?"


    "She is outside, Jia Li is with her! I need YingPei to get his car keys and drive them to the hospital!" FangSu said and immediately disappeared up the stairs.


    ''My granddaughter is in danger? Oh no! what happened to her?!''


    Fu Hee quickly rushed outside to see what was going on.


    A few servants who had themotion, also rushed outside to see what was happening.


    Fu Hee went straight to the veranda and found the mother and daughter. Jia Li''s eyes were already ref, while Jasmine sat on her little chair while propping her upper body on the table with a pained expression on her face.


    "Da Xia!" Fu Hee called out and rushed to her side.


    "Mum!" Jia Li called out in tears. She was in that kind of situation where she didn''t know what to do.


    She couldn''t lift Jasmine because her tummy was hurting badly, she was afraid that her condition could get worst if she shook her.


    Even with her baby bump, Jia Li was ready to carry her little girl in her arms.


    Seeing the cold sweat on her granddaughter''s forehead, Fu Hee looked more worried than ever as she turned to fix her gaze on Jia Li.


    "Jia Li what happened to her?!"


    "Mum, it''s food poisoning! Lanying fed her bananas when she was already drinking a ss of milk." Jia Li revealed as tears fell down her cheeks.


    When Fu Hee heard Lanying''s name, her gaze turned frosty.


    "You mean that stupid girl Fu Juan brought to this house dared to harm my grandchild?!" Fu Hee chastised.


    She was fuming mad at this point.


    FangSu who ran upstairs to call YingPei seeded in finding him. When he learned of what happened to Jasmine, he quickly left his bedroom after taking his phone.


    "Where is your car key?" FangSu asked as she chased after him. Because of their physical differences, she had a hard time trying to catch up with him.


    YingPei was literally jumping down the stairs.


    "I can''t take the sports car, I would have to take the Mercedes Van for morefort," YingPei replied before disappearing from her view.


    YingPei was very fast in his actions, as he quickly went to the inner sitting room close to Grandfather Fu''s study to pick up the car key before rushing outside.


    By the time he appeared outside, two cars used by the bodyguards were already assembled. This was what Fu Hee could do before he coulde out.


    Immediately, one of the bodyguards, lifted Jasmine up and carried her into the Mercedes Van, while Jia Li and Fu Hee followed up immediately.


    Fu Hee looked at Jia Li and worried for her. There was no way she could tell her to stay back when her daughter''s life was in danger.


    Speedily, YingPei got into the driver''s seat and ignited the car''s engine before driving off in thepany of the two cars, carrying the few bodyguardsing along with them.


    By the time they had left, there was a bigmotion going on inside the house already.


    FangSu went to Lanying''s bedroom to find her. She kicked the door open and searched her room, but couldn''t find her.


    Thinking that she was hiding away after attempting to kill her niece, FangSu deployed all the servants in the house to drop what they were doing and search for her.


    By the time the house was busy, the rest of the family members had already heard of what happened and were already making their way out.


    When Grandfather Fu heard from Butler Li of the danger his beloved great-granddaughter was put into by Lanying, he almost went into shock.


    "Where is Da Xia?" Grandfather Fu asked as he left his seat and hurried toward him with great worry.


    "She is being taken to the hospital. Madam Hee, YingPei, and Jia Li are in herpany, with a few bodyguards." Butler Li reported with a downcasted look on his face.


    Even with that report, the old man couldn''t calm down.


    "Where is that despicable girl Fu Juan brought into this house? Drag her out for me!!!" Grandfather Fumanded with a grave expression on his face.


    Butler Li bowed and quickly left his sight, leaving the old man to find his way by himself.


    Butler Li couldn''t get any happier than now. He had been waiting for the time the old man would send those two away, but it looks like something grave gas to happen before he could be strict once again.


    With the help of the remaining bodyguards in the house, it wasn''t long before Lanying was found and dragged to the big sitting room where the rest of the family members were waiting for her.


    Before she was found, Fu Juan who was having a good nap, woke up due to themotion and came out to find out what was going on, but FangSu issued amand for her to be taken into custody.


    "Who knows if she had a hand in this, take her and keep an eye on her!" FangSu hadmanded, and immediately, 4 servants surrounded her and dragged her away despite her hysterical protests.

 Chapter 768 Her heart hurts

    <h4>Chapter 768 Her heart hurts</h4>


    By the time Lanying was brought over, Fu Juan who was sitting on the floor had already heard what she did and was looking devastated.


    "Where did you find her?" Fu Lei asked with a stoic gaze and a whip in his hand.


    The rest of the family members were sitting on the couch, but he couldn''t even sit in a ce. Someone dared to harm a family member right under his nose, and that too, his granddaughter.


    He wanted t see what would stop him from hanging Lanying with a wire.


    "She was behind the house listening to music with a headset, so she didn''t hear us calling her," One of the servants replied with a deep bow.


    "Bring her up here and tie her hands and her feet!" Fu Lei ordered while pointing at the spot she should beid.


    Immediately Fu Juan heard of that order, she crawled forward to plead for him.


    "Brother please, let''s hear from her, I don''t believe that Lanying would do this on purpose! How would she know it isn''t right to give a child a banana while taking mill at the same time?"


    Fu Lei was so furious with Fu Juan that he raised the whip to hit her, but she was lucky enough that her second brother Fu Geming rushed forward and caught the whip with his hand.


    Fu Juan was scared out of her wits and immediately crawled away from that spot.


    ''Did Lei just try to hit me now?''


    "Let go!" Fu Lei said in a thunderous tone while gazing angrily at his brother. He was angry that he had to interfere at that point.


    He for once wanted to teach Fu Juan a lesson she would never forget.


    Even Fu ChuHua was scared when he raised that whip and was about to hit her with it.


    Fu Geming gave Fu Lei a sign with his eyes as if asking him not to hit Fu Juan while letting go of the whip at the same time.


    As for Lanying, she didn''t even flinch when she was made toy on the floor with her hands spread out.


    Grandfather Fu was sitting with a death gaze on Lanying. He wasn''t saying anything, but he silently approved of whatever method that ess going to be used to punish Lanying since his sons were there and ready to get into action.


    ***************


    Outside the hospital, immediately after Jia Li and the rest arrived, a team of doctors and nurses were already waiting outside to take over the matter.


    Quickly, Jasmine who had already fainted when they were very close to the hospital was taken from Jia Li''s thighs and put on a stretcher before she was pushed in.


    Jia Li felt faint when she was trying to get down from the van and was quickly held by Fu Hee who was by her side.


    "Jia Li, are you okay?" Fu Hee asked worriedly while holding unto her tightly.


    "Mum, I''m fine, I need to see my daughter," Jia Li said tiredly as she tried to get out of her hold.


    Whenst did Jia Li address Jasmine so heartwarming like that? She was always and at most times, calling her name directly.


    But it looks like different situations called for a different way to address people.


    YingPei who watched Jasmine being moved in, assigned two bodyguards to quickly follow up, while he returned to his mother''s side.


    "YingPei, get a bottle of water for Jia Li, she is exhausted and feeling faint." Fu Hee ordered immediately after she saw him.


    YingPei looked hurriedly at Jia Li before nodding. He asked them to go immediately, before leaving their side to go look for a bottle of water.


    No matter how exhausted the current situation had made her be, Jia Li was quite strong to contour steadily in her steps.


    She quickly walked in and met with the doctor she had spoken on phone with.


    "Doctor, is my daughter going to be okay?" Jia Li asked in tears while reaching out her hands for her own.


    The doctor gazed at her pitifully and allowed her to hold her.


    "I kept watch on the time of the incident. Don''t worry, your daughter will be fine, I have handled so many cases like this before," The doctor said to her.


    She really pitied Jia Li that in her condition, she had to be shocked by that kind of situation.


    Fu Hee looked a little relieved with the doctor''s assurance and pulled Jia Li into her embrace.


    They both thanked the doctor before allowing her to leave, so she could get started on helping Jasmine.


    "Mum, my heart hurts! If anything happens to my daughter, I don''t think I will ever forgive myself for this!" Jia Li cried in her mother-inw''s arms just like a baby.


    She was ming herself for leaving Jasmine all alone for that devil girl looking for who to harm. She med herself for being so innocent and negligent on her daughter''s side.


    If she had taken Jasmine with her to get her sharpener or had asked Lanying to call a servant for her, or better still if she hadn''t asked the servants to leave their side, this wouldn''t have happened.


    Fu Hee patted her back with a pained expression on her face, "Do they me yourself, it''s not yourself. If Lanying was targeting Da Xia, then she would have found another way to harm her if this method didn''t work. Don''t worry, don''t me yourself."


    "I don''t think I can let Jasmine out of my sight again. This happened because I wasn''t giving her enough attention. I just wanted her to learn to do things by herself and be by herself, was I wrong with my training?" Jia Li asked with tears.


    She didn''t want Jasmine to be spoilt, hence the reason for that kind of training she was giving to her, but now life has thought her a hard lesson, that she shouldn''t leave her child under the watch of another person, especially someone who wasn''t epted by the family.


    "Jia Li, you have to stop crying and pull yourself together because of the babies, Da Xia will be fine!" Fu Hee said as she continued tofort her.

 Chapter 769 Her husband’s comfort

    <h4>Chapter 769 Her husband''sfort</h4>


    Not long after YingPei returned with the bottle of water, Fu Hua appeared.


    Jia Li was about to drink from the bottle after Fu Hee uncapped it for her when YingPei called out ''brother'' from their left direction.


    Jia Li didn''t drink the water again, she pushed it back to her mother-inw and wanted to run to her light in shining armor, but Fu Hua was faster than her.


    He saw her crying from a distance and felt a sting in his heart. His wife looked really miserable. All the anger he felt before he saw her in that state, disappeared into thin air.


    Jia Li fell into his arms and hugged in tightly while crying out louder. If not for her baby bump getting in the way, she would have squeezed him to death.


    "Fu Hua, Da Xia is in the emergency room! it''s all my fault, I shouldn''t have left her all alone!" Jia Li med herself one more time.


    Fu Hua sighed and tried tofort her by patting her back. How could he bear to show his own emotions when she was already in that state?


    One thing for sure is that she would never stop ming herself, and the right thing to do was to let go of his emotions for the time being and not show them to her.


    "Sweetheart, our daughter will be fine okay? Stop crying nothing will happen to her." Fu Hua said while weaving his hand through her hair, and rubbing her back with the other.


    "It''s good that you are here, please make her stop crying and give her some water." Fu Hee said with relief in her tone, but her look showed that she had so many things to worry about.


    Fu Hua released Jia Li from the hug, but she held him tighter. "Please don''t let me go, I just want to be in your arms!" She said as she slowly rested her cheek on his chest.


    She felt soforted being in his arms, and she felt more reassured seeing him there. She felt everything was going to be better now.


    Since she begged him, Fu Hua let her stay there, but he didn''t justfort her, he shifted his gaze to his mother and younger brother to ask about what happened.


    "What happened?"


    Fu Hee briefly exined all she knew, and Fu Hua was enraged having to hear that Lanying purposely poisoned his daughter.


    Because Jia Li was very sensitive at this moment, Fu Hua was trying to be very careful by holding down his outburst.


    If he saw Lanying right now, he wouldn''t promise to let her go until she takes her final breath while strangling her neck with his bare hands.


    "She left adults she couldn''t defeat and came to attack my child? Aunt Juan really did well by adopting a mentally ill patient and bringing her over to the house." Fu Hua said with a mysterious gaze.


    "Why would she want to attack anyone, did we do anything to her? Even if we did do something to her, didn''t she look where she was and who she was dealing with?" Fu Hee asked angrily.


    YingPei who hadn''t said a word spoke up, "I think Lanying is very weird. She knows the consequences of her actions, yet still went ahead to do it, it''s like she is tired of living."


    "Fu Juan is to me for all of these! They were supposed to leave tomorrow, are you sure she is not a part of this?" Fu Hee said with a re.


    "Maybe Lanying did this because we did not wee her properly or show any special care towards her," YingPei said.


    Fu Hee snorted and threw her face to the side, she was too furious to continue speaking.


    "Whatever reason she has, it''s not valid. I''m going home as soon as I finish speaking with the doctor, I have some problems to take care of." Fu Hua said with a dangerous gaze.


    Right then, Fu ChuHua''s call came in on YingPei''s phone. She tried calling Fu Hee''s line, but it turned out that she forgot her phone at home, because it''s been ringing and no one was picking it up.


    Fu ChuHua called to find out how Jasmine was and if the treatment has started, on behalf of the family, while also dropping off an idea of what was going on in the house.


    Fu Lei was hitting Lanying with his whip.


    "He shouldn''t stop, it would be good if he flogged her death!" Fu Hee said in response, but YingPei quickly took his phone from her.


    "No, he shouldn''t kill her, that would be too easy..." Fu Hia said just before YingPei hung up.


    "What do you n to do?" Fu Hee asked with a curious gaze directed at him.


    "Mum, you and YingPei should take care of things here, I will go and settle the score at home," Fu Hua said with his gazes on them, whole releasing Jia Li from his embrace.


    "Please stay here with me!" Jia Li pleaded. She didn''t care if Lanying was flogged to death, she just wanted his primary family with her.


    Fu Hua took out a handkerchief from his pocket and used it to wipe her tears, before making her best on the padded seat. Next, he made her drink some water before handing her over to his mother.


    "I will make this quick ande back to you," Fu Hua said and kissed her forehead before leaving.


    Jia Li could only watch him leave in anguish. She knew that he had already made up his mind, and there would be no use trying to stop him.


    Before leaving the hospital, Fu Hua spoke to the doctor who told him that Jasmine would be fine.


    "This is her first time going through this kind of pain, so it''s going to take a toll on her. This night, she would be better, and by tomorrow evening, we can send her home if everything is perfect!"


    The doctors had to flush out the banana and milk in her system, by making it digest fast, so she could pass it away through stooling.


    Also, a pain relief drug was given to her, through the drip attached to her vein. This will help to relieve her pain.

 Chapter 770 Confessing at the dying moment

    <h4>Chapter 770 Confessing at the dying moment</h4>


    Just fiveshes from Fu Lei''s whip was enough to peel Lanying''s skin and make her back bleed.


    When she was doing this to Jasmine, she didn''t mind being sent to jail because that was the kind of punishment she was expecting.


    At least even if she had to spend a few years in prison, Fu Juan would still be forced to confess her sins.


    This kind of punishment of getting whipped by a military General was what Lanying didn''t seeing, but she was strong-willed.


    She refused to beg or plead for mercy, she only continued to scream while trying to get away from the clutches of the bodyguards pressing her back, hands and legs to the floor.


    Fu Juan''s eyes were already red and full of tears. This was her biological daughter that was undergoing that kind of punishment, not just anyone.


    Fu Juan couldn''t stop her from getting hit, as she could only kneel and ask her father and brothers for help, but no one was listening to her.


    ''Mother even now, you still won''t admit to everyone that I''m not an orphan, but your biological daughter home you abandoned in the orphanage?''


    Lanying thought to herself with tears in her eyes. Her eyes were already red from the pain she felt from having her backshed with a whip.


    "Father please, I promise I would take Lanying far away from here, and we won''te back unless you ask for us! Please let her go, she was wrong!" Fu Juan crawled to Grandfather Fu''s feet and pleaded.


    Grandfather scoffed and said to her, "If anything happens to my great-granddaughter, it will be a life for two lives!"


    Fu Juan slumped on the floor in a pathetic state.


    In essence, if anything happens to Jasmine, she and her daughter would pay with their lives. Her own father was telling her that.


    Crawling back to Lanying''s side, Fu Juan said to her, "Lanying hurry up and admit you are wrong and say it was a mistake from your side!"


    Even in that pain and difficulty in breathing, Lanying had the cheek to chuckle.


    "Huh! What''s funny? You think this is a joke?" Fu Meixu asked from the side.


    Everyone was surprised by her reaction. Was she saying that she harmed Jasmine on purpose, and she was not sorry for it?


    "Lanying what are you doing? Hurry up and say you are wrong!" Fu Juan said with a nervous gaze.


    It was as if she was afraid of something.


    "Why should I lie? I am not a liar like you! I harmed Jasmine on purpose and I am not sorry for my actions!"


    As soon as Lanying spat those words, the whipnded on her back with much more force, forcing her to yelp in pain and try to free her hands so she could use them to soothe her wounds.


    But she could only hunger and thirst, and not receive any satisfaction, even for a second.


    "Did you hear her, she is not sorry! I don''t know what you see in this girl, how did you adopt her without checking her character?" Fu Geming asked with a disappointed gaze.


    "If Uncle keep up with this, he would kill her!" Fu Ling said to Meixu in a low tone.


    FangSu heard him and said angrily, "She deserves something more than death, otherwise, what do you think she deserves?"


    Fu Ling wanted to say the flogging was okay and was best to hand her over to the police, but he decided to shut his mouth.


    It wouldn''t look good to kill her right in their sitting room, wouldn''t that disrupt the energy and peace in their family?


    "I wonder what brother Hua would do when hees," Fu Meixu said with a death re at Lanying.


    Speak of the devil and you would see himing to you.


    Fu Hua stepped in with his heavy aura and behind him were a few men in military uniforms.


    "Dad, I will take it from here," Fu Hua said with his hands in his trouser pocket.


    Fu Juan saw the military men and she looked armed as only one thought came to her head, Lanying was going to be tortured to death.


    "This is totally my brother''s style," FangSu said with a big smile on her face when she saw Fu Hua walk in with the soldiers behind him.


    This is the reason Zimo did not appear at the hospital with him, he was already doing a tasking errand for his big Boss.


    Fu Lei nced at Lanying moving aside. "Did you go to the hospital, how is Jasmine?"


    Fu Hua moved his gaze from Fu Juan to Lanying and then to his father with a frosty gaze.


    "She should be fine. She would have to be under observation for the next 24 hours in the intensive care unit."


    Pointing at Laying who was moaning in pain, Fu Lei said to him, "She said she is not sorry for what she did, so you can take her, she is all yours!"


    "Please don''t take her away, not in this state, please!" Fu Juan begged as she crawled to Fu Hee''s feet to plead for her daughter''s life.


    "Why does Aunt care so much about this girl even after all she has done?" Fu Ling asked with a frown.


    FangSu scoffed, "As if they are truly mother and daughter."


    Fu Hua took a step backward to stop Fu Juan from touching his feet, before turning to the soldiers behind him to say, "Take her away, and if anyone dares to block your path, kick them away!"


    Time stopped for a moment for Fu Juan, as she watched the soldiers reach Lanying''s side and yanked her up by her hands, causing her to scream in pain.


    This could not be happening, not, it shouldn''t happen in the first ce. Lanying was her biological daughter and also a member of the Fu family, sons he can not be treated like a piece of wasted cabbage as if she wasn''ting from somewhere.


    With that, Fu Juan forgot the secret she wanted to so badly protect, her dignity and prestige, and spilled the beans while crying hysterically.


    "Please don''t take Lanying away, she is my daughter! I gave birth to her, she is my biological daughter!"

 Chapter 771 Unearthing another secret

    <h4>Chapter 771 Unearthing another secret</h4>


    This sudden confession was a shock to everyone who heard it.


    At first, they had all thought it to be a joke, but seeing her serious and helpless Fu Juan looked while still saying the same words over and over again, they couldn''t help but be astonished.


    "What do you mean by that?! How is Lanying your birth daughter?" Fu Geming asked while pointing fingers at her.


    Fu Juan who was sprawled on the floor knelt again and said, "Lanying is actually my child, I had left her to be raised in the orphanage as soon as I gave birth to her in the states. This is a long story..."


    No one said another word again, as they were still shocked by that revtion. The Fu brothers exchanged nces before shifting their gazes back to the old man to see if he had anything to say about this new development, but he didn''t.


    No one could tell the fleeting emotions and thoughts the old man was experiencing.


    Thinking that there would be a chance now for her daughter, she crawled to Fu Hua''s feet to beg him.


    "Hua, Lanying is my daughter, your blood-rted cousin, please don''t let the soldiers take her away, you can give her another punishment, please!!!"


    Before Fu Hua could respond, Lanying turned around despite being in pain, when she saw that the soldiers'' grip on her was strong.


    She looked so angry as she turned to Fu Juan. Sheughed hysterically while saying, "You finally admitted that I am your biological daughter right in front of your family? Did it take anything from you?"


    Thatment from her got the attention of everyone on her.


    ''Wait, what was going on here?''


    ''Did Lanying know about this all along?"


    ''What does this girl mean?''


    Fu Juan was more shocked than the rest of them because she was so shocked that Lanying knew about this secrete.


    "How did you know?" She asked in shock as her buttsnded on the floor. She looked at Lanying and didn''t know what else to say other than that question.


    Lanying chuckled with a painful expression on her face. "I was told long ago by someone who worked at the first orphanage that raised me. I didn''t know your reason for trying to hide that fact, but I still respected you and loved you but what did I get in return? You refused to acknowledge my real identity even to your own family, was I asking for too much?!"


    "No, it''s not like that! My life was tooplicated back then..." Fu Juan quickly said as she tried to change her thoughts, but she got interrupted.


    Lanyingughed as if she just heard the funniest joke in the world.


    "Do you take me for a child? I just knew that the only way for you to admit this to your family will require me to take extreme measures."


    "What do you mean?" Fu Juan asked with tears in her eyes as a knowing feeling overshadowed her.


    She didn''t want to believe that Lanying''s next response was what was going on in her head.


    "To get you to confess today, I harmed your niece so I could get into real trouble, and only then would you confess. I needed to make sure my situation would be dire enough for you to confess, that''s why I did what I did."


    This is why when Lanying already poisoned Jasmine, she asked her to immediately report to her mother if her stomach started to hurt.


    Her intention wasn''t to kill Jasmine but to harm her in such a way that the consequences of her action would be dire for her.


    "How could you ask for attention that way?!" Fu ChuHua asked angrily while pointing fingers at her.


    Fu Hua asked with furrowed brows as his anger returned, "You harmed my daughter because of the feud with your mother?"


    Fu Juan saw how angry Fu Hua was, and forgot the soft scolding of ''you shouldn''t gave done that'' that she was giving to Lanying.


    Lanying heard what Fu Hua said and managed to fix her gaze on him fearlessly.


    "It''s now that I''m sorry for harming your daughter. I did what I did because this woman pushed me to the wall."


    "Do you think apologizing now would change anything?" FangSu asked angrily as she tried to walk over to hit her, but Meixu and Ling dragged her back.


    Lanying scoffed in response, "I am not hoping for a better treatment I only apologized to feel better for my actions against that innocent little girl. I don''t care what happens to me because my life is fulfilled now. Atst, the truth is out!"


    Fu Juan felt so pained in her heart while watching Lanying. She couldn''t believe that she knew about this secret for such a long time and kept quiet because she news hoping that one day, she would introduce her properly.


    And now, she even had to do something so evil so she could admit their true rtionship.


    Fu Juan was thinking about how much Lanying has suffered and tolerated for the longest time.


    "Lanying, I''m sorry..." Fu Juan apologized with a helpless gaze.


    "You are sorry?" Lanying scoffed. ncing at the rest of the family members, she said to them, "I have another secret of hers to reveal," Saying that, sheughed.


    Everyone just gazed at her as they wondered what other shocking news she wanted to bring to them.


    Lanying first started by calling her mother by her name.


    "Fu Juan is behind her husband''s ident." Lanying did wait for their shocked reactions and continued with her revtion. "I heard her on the phone speaking to a man about making the ident fatal, but not enough to take his life."


    "Lanying what nonsense are you saying, will you shut up!" Fu Juan said immediately as she got to her feet and wanted to reach out to her, but Fu Lei pushed her away and asked Lanying to continue.


    "My stepfather threatened her with my birth secret, and coupled with the divorce, she decided to strike him in other to gain more time."

 Chapter 772 Fu Juan’s fate

    <h4>Chapter 772 Fu Juan''s fate</h4>


    "Do you know the consequences of telling lies?" Fu Geming asked with a stoic gaze.


    Even he was so shocked by what was going on but was trying to maintain a sound mind. How could his sister attempt a murder?


    "I know the consequences which I don''t care about. My only interest is to expose her in your presence. I wouldn''t dare use her of anything, after all, she is my mother," Lanying said with a scornful gaze at Fu Juan.


    Fu Juan on the other hand was so angry that she felt like running over and hitting Lanying in the face.


    She couldn''t believe that she knew about a heavy secret like this and had to expose her in front of her family. Now how was she going to face them?


    Meixu, FangSu, and Ling all saw Fu Juan''s facial expressions and bodynguage and had different thoughts going on in their minds.


    ''Lanying must be lying!''


    ''Did Aunt really cause her husband''s ident?''


    ''What''s going on?''


    Lanying felt d about Fu Juan''s anger and continued, "I bet you now regret giving birth to me. Don''t forget the consequences of attempted murder, I can''t wait for you to face thew and atone for your sins. Now, I am satisfied and ready to be taken away."


    Lanying said thest sentence in so much bliss, seeing how Fu Juan was gritting her teeth.


    There were tears at the corner of their eyes, but they hated each other so much right now to care about any other feelings and emotions.


    Just like every other member of the family that was present, Fu Hua also did not find this funny instead, he grew angrier.


    How could his daughter be used as a pawn, a chess piece, and a tool in the fight between that mother and daughter?


    Fu Hua was so furious that he red at Fu Juan while ordering the soldiers to take Lanying away. He was thinking of how to deal with his Aunt, because she news Genesis of the whole mess, and the reason Lanying took that step.


    The soldiers had already dragged Lanying and were ready to tee another step when they heard the old authoritative voice stopping them from their action.


    "Wait!" Grandfather Fu said as he tried to get up by himself but almost fell back. But thankfully, Butler Li who has been standing at his side all this time assisted him to stand properly.


    The old man was too shocked by the whole unfolding secrets of his daughter that he immediately became ill.


    Seeing Grandfather Fu asking the soldiers to wait, away, everyone thought he was trying to stop them from dragging Lanying, and at the same time trying to plead with Fu Hua to let her go since she was his granddaughter and a part of the family.


    Even Fu Hua was so angry and almost disappointed in his grandfather, but he didn''t say anything and waited to hear his next words.


    To the surprise of everyone, the old man pointed at Fu Juan and asked them to take her away.


    "Take her along."


    ''What?!''


    ''Grandfather is punishing Aunt with the military rule?''


    Fu Juan was almost losing her mind, her father just asked for the soldiers to drag her away, how could he treat her like that?!


    "Father, please don''t do this, I had no hand in Aiguo''s ident!" Fu Juan pleaded as she crawled to him, but Butler Li blocked her path.


    Lanyingughed at her mother''s state. She really found it ridiculous that she would try to deny her crimes.


    Even her mother''s fate could be easily sealed that way.


    "Whether you are innocent or not, we will find outter. For now, you will be at the barracks receiving punishment for that girl''s existence. If after the investigations of Aiguo''s ident and it is found out that you had a hand in it, get ready to spend equal jail time there." Grandfather Fu said with a stern gaze.


    The old man wasn''t saying that she would have aborted Lanying, but he was ming her for getting pregnant in the first ce, giving up the child for adoption, and going backter to adopt her again without letting anyone from the family know, and then she had the guts to lie to them.


    The old man was going to make sure that she paid for all her crimes since she had that kind of heart.


    Geming couldn''t help being a little worried as he asked, "Father, why don''t you give her only today? Remember that she has to sign the divorce papers with Aiguo tomorrow."


    In essence, Fu Geming was saying that grace of one day should be given to her, for her to formally divorce Aiguo before she would be taken into custody by the soldiers.


    "All paperwork will be brought to her at the barracks." Grandfather replied before shifting a weak gaze to Fu Lei. "Lei, I''m handing Aiguo''s ident investigation over to you, remember to be righteous and show no mercy."


    Fu Lei saluted him. Actually, there news no need for that reminder because as a soldier, he couldn''t help but follow protocols and do what was right.


    Shifting his gaze back to Fu Geming, Grandfather Fu said to him, "You will handle all the paperwork and the divorce. I need a long rest, call my doctor over."


    Immediately after saying that, the old man leaned his weight on Butler Li who called out to him in panic.


    "Master!"


    "Grandfather!"


    "Father!"


    Everyone was worried about the old man''s health, including Fu Juan who had no escape route.


    Grandfather Fu waved his hand, gesturing to them to leave him alone, before relying on Butler Li to send him back to his bedroom.


    Quickly, Fu Hua took out his phone to make a call to his Grandfather''s doctor, asking him toe immediately.


    Fu Juan was almost dying inside after seeing what was going on. She couldn''t retrace her step, could she?


    Before she could behind pleading again, Fu Lei gestured to the soldiers to drag her away, despite her screams and pleadings.


    And just like that, Fu Juan and her daughter Lanying were taken away by the soldiers'' Fu Hua brought with him.

 Chapter 773 Mild heart-attack

    <h4>Chapter 773 Mild heart-attack</h4>


    After dealing with Lanying, Fu Hua had to go back to the hospital as he has not set his eyes on his little princess yet.


    Thankfully when he came back, the treatment had ended, and Jia Li, Fu Hee, and YingPei were already in the exclusive room prepared for Jasmine.


    "How is she?" Fu Hua asked in a low gentle voice as he walked in.


    Jia Li was sitting on the bed and holding Jasmine''s hand. Her face and countenance looked better now, but there was still worry written all over her face, and that is because Jasmine has not regained consciousness yet.


    "She is better now, earlier, she was still wincing in pain, even in her sleep, but over thest few minutes, he has been calm," Fu Hee replied with a sigh of relief.


    "It means that the treatment is working," YingPei added.


    Fu Hua came behind Jia Li to squeeze her shoulders gently, and she for a few seconds shifted her gaze to him and managed a smile. She was grateful for the encouragement andfort.


    ncing at his little daughter who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, Fu Hua released Jia Li and moved closer to the little girl.


    He patted her head gently with a warm smile on his face.


    "Princess, your Daddy, and Mummy are here. Grandma and uncle Pei are here too. We are waiting for you to wake up after having a good rest. The whole family is waiting for you to get better soon."


    After saying those heartening words, Fu Hua nced at Jia Li and said to her, "Sweetheart, you need a break,e and sit with me."


    Jia Li shook her head with a warm smile and said while still holding Jasmine''s hand, "No, I''m fine here," She said shifting her gaze back to Jasmine. "I don''t want her to wake up and not see me. She must have been scared by this incident."


    There was no need to talk too much just to convince her to take a short break and rx, for he went to her side and pulled her up before dragging her to the couch and making her sit next to him, before taking her into his arms.


    "You can sitfortably in my arms and watch her from here. Be good, you need to take a rest, for you and the babies," Fu Hua reminded in a low tone.


    Jia Li did not try to get out of his arms again, but stayed there and heaved a deep sigh of relief, with her gaze on the hospital bed.


    "Is anyone bringing food for her?" Fu Hee asked as she turned her gaze to Fu Hua.


    She was in the kitchen where Lunch was being prepared when this ruckus happened, so she had to abandon her job.


    "Yes, it will be here soon, Aunt ChuHua is sending food for all of us," Fu Hua replied.


    Fu Hee was now rest assured and rxedfortably on her seat.


    Jia Li wanted to say she didn''t have any appetite, but she needed the strength to watch over Jasmine even though she still felt some guilt about the whole incident, coupled with her babies, so she ended up not saying it.


    That would be childish and irresponsible of her, especially when the doctor has reassured and guaranteed that Jasmine would be fine, and will soon go back to her normal healthy state.


    "Brother, how did you take care of Lanying?" YingPei asked curiously.


    Since Fu Hua returned, no one had asked him about it, and it''s been almost 5 minutes of silence in the room.


    "The soldiers took her to their barracks as per my instruction. She needs discipline, mental development, and a touch of physicalbor, that ce will help her a lot. Also, she is Aunt Juan''s biological daughter." Fu Hua revealed.


    Just like the rest of the family members got shocked when Lanying revealed this and Fu Juan admitted it, Fu Hee, Jia Li, and YingPei were equally shocked.


    "Fu Juan is really crazy!" Fu Hee said in disgust.


    "Wow! Our family is something else!" YingPei said in disbelief.


    After showing different reactions of shock to that breaking news, YingPei went on to ask, "What was Grandfather''s reaction to it?"


    Fu Hua went on to give them another shock before replying to his question.


    "Lanying used her mother as the perpetrator of her husband''s ident, and although Aunt denied it, she looked very guilty. Grandfather asked the soldiers to take her as well. She would have to stay in the barracks receiving punishment for the genesis of Lanying, till investigations are made. If ording to thew is found guilty, she will serve her jail term there."


    "Wow! Grandfather didn''t even try to bend the rules for her, or give her a little relief!" YingPei said in astonishment.


    This was truly his grandfather!


    "Why would he give her a leeway?" Fu Hee snorted.


    Turning to the woman in his arms who was shocked by this revtion but wasn''t saying anything, Fu Hua whispered to her, "Sweetheart, let''s raise our children properly with love and discipline."


    Jia Li nodded and released a deep breath while thinking, ''Who would have known that Lanying had a special identity and had to endanger her little daughter just to announce it?''


    Jia Li did not pity both Lanying and Fu Juan because they touched someone innocent and dragged others into their mess.


    No matter their reasoning, they should haven''t put people''s lives in danger.


    Not long after, FangSu came with a few servants to deliver their meal and another shocking news.


    After Grandfather Fu''s doctor came to check on him, he revealed to them that the old man had suffered a minor heart attack, but was lucky to still be standing strong.


    Apparently, his luck came from his service in the military, and the food diet back then. He had a healthy body, that was built to the capacity to ept a certain level of shock, and absorb it.


    Not just that the old man had a mild heart attack, but his blood pressure was very high and the doctor put him on strict observation and a strict diet.


    He was to stay in bed all day, except when he needed to use the restroom. He shouldn''t handle any strenuous work as his brain, along with his body needed a lot of rest, he needed to stay away from any form of stress.

 Chapter 774 Not pressing charges

    <h4>Chapter 774 Not pressing charges</h4>


    The old man''s doctor, left a nurse behind to monitor him and take care of some little issues. Currently, the old man was on a drip and sleeping in his bedroom which had automatically turned into a VIP room of a hospital.


    Jia Li felt as much hurt as she felt for her daughter, for the old man who first showed her kindness amongst the members of the Fu family.


    FangSuforted Jia Li and said, "For the first time in a long time, we didn''t have lunch together, not because work took some of us out, but because of a situation like this."


    "We will get through this," YingPei said a word of encouragement.


    After dropping off some toiletries and clothes for Jia Li since they would be spending a night at the hospital with Jasmine, FangSu left with Fu Hee and YingPei.


    Fu Heeforted Jia Li and Fu Hua before leaving. She said she would returnter in the evening with their dinner.


    Before they left, Jasmine regained consciousness, you need to see how Jia Li flew out of Fu Hua''s arms and rushed to the little girl''s side.


    Because her eyes had been on her all this time, she was the first person to see her blink her eyes and move her fingertips.


    Fu Hua was shocked with how she rushed over, as she forgot that she could trip over and fall, but that was not what she was interested in.


    Her daughter was awake, she needed to check how she was doing.


    Sending the familiar faces surrounding her and calling out to her in cheerful voices, Jasmine managed a smile.


    "Da Xia, are you okay? Do you feel any pain? Does your tummy still hurt?" Jia Li inquired with a worried gaze.


    "I''m fine," Jasmine replied in a recovery tone. The little girl looked happy seeing her family with her.


    When she met her father''s gaze, she called out to him happily. Her tone still sounded low like she had gone through something, but you could still be detected in her tone.


    "How is my princess doing?" Fu Hua asked while patting her head gently with a big smile on his face.


    "I''m fine, daddy," Jasmine replied.


    "Do you want to eat anything? Tell me, grandma will prepare it for you," Fu Hee said to her.


    Jasmine thought for a while before replying, "Ice cream."


    Everyoneughed before Fu Hee responded to her, "Once you leave this ce, grandma will prepare ice cream of different vors for you. For now, I''m going to prepare a yummy porridge for you."


    "Thank you," Jasmine replied cheerfully.


    Later, Fu Hua went to call the doctor toe and check on Jasmine.


    After checking on her, she said she was fine but still had to be under observation because the pain relief drug in her drip, was what was keeping her from experiencing pain.


    The doctor told them and the nurse she came with what to look out for during the next 24 hours, before leaving.


    In the evening, Fu Hee did return with their dinner and the special porridge she prepared for Jasmine, which was approved by the doctor.


    The little girl needed to eat something simple without lots of calories etc.


    Later at night, Jia Li and Fu Hua tucked Jasmine in after reading a bedtime story to her. They didn''t need any servant to help them, because they wanted to do it alone.


    After tucking Jasmine in, Fu Hua helped Jia Li toy on the extra bed brought into the room, while he sat on the couch to watch over them. Obviously, the couch would have to be his bed for the night.


    The next day, Shi Qiao heard what happened in the Fu family and came over, and he ended up not leaving with Meixu that day.


    At the hospital, Daiyu heard about what happened to Jasmine from YingPei and came to visit as her godmother although, YingPei didn''t give her the full gist.


    He only told her that she had food poisoning from eating two wrong food together.


    When Daiyu came over at noon, Jasmine was so much better. The enzyme required to break down the banana and milk was facilitated with the help of the drug she was given, and no pain was felt in the process anymore, because of the pain relief drug which was also administered to her.


    This same day, Fu Lei continued to carry out the investigations his father assigned to him, while Fu Geming went to the hospital to see Aiguo with two familywyers.


    Aiguo wasn''t surprised to see him because he knew he would be signing the divorce papers that very day.


    When he asked about Fu Juan, Fu Geming told him not to bother about her, as she was somewhere reaping what she sowed.


    Indirectly, Fu Geming mentioned her involvement in his ident, which was currently being investigated, but Aiguo didn''t look surprised, because since he regained consciousness, he had a gut feeling that she was responsible for that ident.


    "Anyway, I''m not going to press charges. This can be taken as a parting gift to her and the Fu family. Now, I don''t owe anyone anything.


    Fu Geming nodded and went on to talk about business.


    Fu Juan who was the president of theirpany was going to spend up to 3 years in the barracks, and while she was gone, Aiguo. being the Vice President should take charge until her return, but given his state, that was not possible.


    ording to Fu Juan''s will, her shares will be taken care of by the Fu family if anything happens to her, and based on that authority and to keep thatpany afloat, the Fu family was going to intervene now.


    Fu Geming was telling Aiguo about it ahead of time, so a board meeting would be scheduled, and an acting president would be appointed, who will be someone the Fu family would be sending.


    Aiguo was free to take back control if he gets better and was able to do better than the current acting president.


    But when Fu Juan returns, she would take back her position.


    The Fu family was not being biased when it came to business, because it was clear that Fu Juan was indeed better at business than Aiguo, and everything rting to business should not involve sentiments.


    Everything has to be done right. Although Fu Juanmitted a crime, her family was not going to abandon her business and let it sink when they were there.

 Chapter 775 Da Xia is back home

    <h4>Chapter 775 Da Xia is back home</h4>


    Fu Geming returned to the Fu Mansion with the divorce papers Aiguo signed and handed them over to Fu Lei.


    "You gave to take them to her, her signature is needed before we can proceed with the annulment."


    Fu Lei took a good look at them before saying, "Father still left the house for her after all she has done?"


    He just saw that the house was still in the agreement just as Fu Juan had requested before the current incident. He was thinking that it would have been removed given how many atrocities she hadmitted.


    "If he doesn''t leave the house, where else are we supposed to take her belongings to?" Fu Geming asked.


    Fu Juan and Lanying''s things were still in the Fu house and by Grandfather Fu''s order, they were to be taken back to her house.


    Fu Lei got the message and walked out with the divorce papers, he was going to give them to Fu Juan to sign immediately, so the proceedings can go on.


    Fu ChuHua was busy ordering the servants around. Since Fu Juan and Lanying''s properties had to be taken away, she had to see that the servants do not miss anything.


    After packing their things in their luggage, Fu ChuHua ordered for the 2 bedrooms to be cleaned up and sanitized.


    "I don''t want to perceive any odor rting to them, clean the rooms properly!"


    When the servants were done, their luggage was taken outside the house and put in the car Fu Geming was going out with.


    He had to take care of things at Fu Juan''s house as well, and pay a visit to herpany.


    In the evening of the same day, Jasmine was cane home with her parents. The little girl was in her father''s arms and looked so happy to be given a warm wee by everyone.


    Fu Hua knew how active the little girl was, and letting her walk by herself, would lead to her ying around.


    She just got out of the hospital, so he was being very careful and protective of her.


    Jasmine didn''t forget to ask about her ice cream when everywhere had settled down.


    "Wait a little while okay? Maybe tomorrow evening, your stomach will be set to wee cold things okay?" Fu Hee said giving her a thumbs up.


    Jasmine nodded and went ahead to mention all the ice cream vors she wanted to have a taste of, and of course, her grandmother weed her special request.


    "Jasmine, let''s go and see great-grandpa, he is sick." Jia Li motioned to the little girl.


    "Great-grandpa is ill?" Jasmine asked with a surprised gaze and in the next second, the look on her face turned to worry after her father confirmed it.


    Now the little girl couldn''t wait to see her old man so, the family of 3 left for Grandfather Fu''s bedroom.


    When they go there, they saw Butler Li standing guard aside. Since the doctor said no one should disturb the old man and allow him to have plenty of rest, Butler Li swang into action.


    He was staying there to avoid any family members froming too close, and also to stop the old man from leaving because he could be stubborn at times.


    But actually, there was no need for him to pay this much attention because the old man was too weak to leave his bed.


    Someone that seemed very healthy in the morning looked worse by evening.


    "Is my grandfather sleeping?" Fu Hua asked in a low tone. In case the old man was sleeping, he didn''t want to take him up with a loud voice.


    "He woke some minutes ago as he has been sleeping all day." The Butler replied.


    "Da Xia is back," That''s all Fu Hua said before leading his wife and daughter inside the bedroom.


    There was no need to take permission to enter because what he was going in for, will help the old man to feel better.


    There was no way Butler Li would stop them from going in because the old man has been very worried about his family''s little princess and couldn''t stay put.


    He even believed that it must have been one of the reasons his blood pressure was still high.


    Grandfather Fu was so delighted to see his great-granddaughter and immediately tried to sit up on the bed, but Jia Li rushed to his side, offering him some assistance.


    "Grandfather don''t move, I will help you!"


    "How are you?" The old man asked as she helped him to rx his back on the pillow. He looked so exhausted, and his eyes were tired despite having slept for long hours.


    Hearing the weakness in his voice, Jia Li sat on the side of his bed and gazed at him properly. Now that she was looking at him, he seemed to have aged rapidly.


    Jia Li was afraid that he wouldn''t have much time left. She didn''t know the reason she was having a bad feeling after seeing him so weak.


    Nodding, she replied to his question, "I''m doing fine grandfather, see, Da Xia is back."


    She didn''t want to continue having those thoughts, so she changed the topic.


    Grandfather Fu looked past her and fixed a warm gaze at Jasmine who was staring at him with worry.


    Since she heard he was sick, she was afraid of startling him with her excitement, hence she didn''t say a word and watched him from her father''s side.


    But now that he had called for her, she had to go to his side. Without saying anything to him, Fu Hua brought her down from his arms, so she could walk to the old man herself.


    "Great-grandpa!" Jasmine called out with a smile.


    "My Da Xia,e let this old man see if you have gotten better," The old man said as he checked her out with his eyes.


    Although he didn''t set his eyes on her the previous day when the incident happened, he was able to tell the difference still.


    Jasmine twirled slowly, so her old man could have a good look at her.


    "Great-grandpa see, I''m all better now!" Jasmine said when she came to a stop.


    The old man frowned slightly and said, "You look like you have lost some weight."

 Chapter 776 Changes

    <h4>Chapter 776 Changes</h4>


    The old man was really observant. Jasmine lost a little weight and a little flesh, and he was able to notice that at first nce.


    Fu Hua stepped forward and exined that the little girl couldn''t eat properly because of the food poisoning, as she has been having only porridge.


    In fact, Jasmine refused to eat anything apart from porridge because she was afraid. She developed a phobia after that incident, and she is being very watchful of the food she wanted to eat.


    Apart from the ice cream she demanded which has not yet been given to her, she had not made any other request so far.


    She looked fine with eating only porridge. Poor little girl.


    Grandfather Fu understood the reason the little girl had lost weight, and apologized to her, after taking her small hands in his and squeezing them gently.


    Jasmine didn''t know how to react to that gesture and could only thank him while letting him continue holding her hands.


    *******************


    At the military base where Fu Juan and Lanying were taken to, Fu Lei arrived in a military vehicle with some escorts.


    The reason he came by was already known and he was directly ushered into the office of the current chief in charge.


    Not long after he had settled down and chatted a bit with him, Fu Juan was brought to him.


    Fu Juan''s current state couldn''t be termed as too bad. Her clothing was poor, and her hair was tied up in a bun. No make-up on her face, which caused her to appear and look more simple.


    Even after spending only 24 hours there, she still hasn''t lost her poise.


    When she saw her eldest brother and the stack of papers before him, she didn''t need anyone to tell him the reason he came to see her.


    He was here with the divorce papers.


    Fu Juan was given a seat. Her hands were free, which signified that she hasn''t been convicted of the crime shemitted yet.


    Picking up a pen from the desk, Fu Lei handed it to her and passed the divorce papers to her.


    "You are free to go through them before signing, although no changes are going to be made even if you want to refuse the agreement."


    Taking the pen and the divorce papers from him, Fu Juan asked, shifting her gaze to him, "What if I don''t sign them?"


    Fu Lei replied in a cold tone, "It''s not like you ha e any choice. Just go through those papers now that I''m giving you the chance."


    Fu Juan was very angry but powerless. She couldn''t do anything to vent her anger. And in order to keep her little pride and not be disgraced by her brother who was capable of doing anything to her, she picked up the divorce papers and went through them.


    She needed to see if any changes were made from thest one.


    Surprisingly, no changes were made. She could at believe that her father still let her have the house after all she has done.


    Fu Lei could read her mind and k w what she was thinking. He scoffed and burst her bubbles, "Don''t fool yourself. You only have the house because the things you left at the Fu house had to be taken somewhere. You are lucky that father is still the family head. If I were to be in his shoes, I would burn all your things."


    Fu Juan rolled her eyes before flipping through the pages of the papers to pen down her signature.


    Immediately after she was done signing them, Fu Lei snatched them from her and was about to leave when she stopped him with a question.


    "What measures had the family taken to handle mypany, you can''t let it fall apart right?"


    Fu Lei spared her a nce and replied with an annoyed tone, "I am not in charge of yourpany, so I don''t know the answer to that question,"


    Fu Juan didn''t get to throw another question at him because he left immediately, and she couldn''t chase after him because she was now being held by two soldiers.


    Breathing heavily, Fu Juan stared in the direction he left. There was hurt, regret, and hatred in her eyes, but without power, she couldn''t do anything about it.


    Over the next few days, Jasmine returned to school, but Jia Li took a week off from work to look after her because her mind was not at ease, and no one in the family could stop her.


    But when a week was over, she had to return to work but would clock off early and rush to her school to bring her back.


    During the past few days, some events took ce and some changes were made.


    Shi Qiao left the Fu house with Meixu for their own house.


    Fu Geming was put in charge of Fu Juan''spany, but since he had his ownpany to run, someone was appointed from the board of directors to take charge of thepany and in turn, give feedback to Fu Geming.


    Aiguo was kept up to date with thepany''s new projects and thetest news on daily basis by his personal assistant so that he would always have the awareness of what happened, what will happen, and what was happening with thepany.


    When he resumed his position, there wouldn''t be any void.


    Aiguo also reunited with his second family and moved all his things out of the house that belonged to him and Fu Juan.


    Now that he was free from her hackers, he purchased a good house and had his new family, move into there.


    Still hospitalized, he promised to sign the marriage certificate with his new woman once he was discharged.


    All of these, remained hidden from the media and the public, because Grandfather Fu did not want any drama, and Aiguo respected his decision.


    Another week passed, and it was Jasmine''s birthday. Also, it was Jia Li''s day, but not much noise was made about it.


    There was no big party this year as earlier nned and decided.


    Jasmine had an inhouse family birthday celebration before being taken to the orphanage by her father, to hand out gifts.


    In theirpany, her grandparents tagged along, and her uncle Pei and Uncle Ling tagged along, but Jia Li did not go with them, because she was tired.


    In fact,tely, she was feeling very tired.

 Chapter 777 Ready to have a child

    <h4>Chapter 777 Ready to have a child</h4>


    There were a few weeks left before FJ''s Autumn fashion show will be hosted. So far, there has been peace in the Fu family, and there has been no cause to be rmed.


    The media were still unaware of thetest rustle in the Fu family as there was been no reason to be aware, so things were still going on smoothly.


    Today at the house that Meixu and Shi Qiao owned, the former was staring at a movie script, but her mind was elsewhere.


    Something was ringing in her head.


    Just to show you how out of it she was, Shi Qiao who was standing at the doorway called her twice, but she didn''t hear him. He had to make the effort by going to sit next to her.


    Meixu only reacted when he put his hand on her shoulder.


    "Where is your mind? Is the script so interesting that you didn''t even hear me calling you?" Shi Qiao asked as a small smile yed at the corner of his lips.


    Meixu sighed and out the script away. "I waspletely lost thinking about something conflicting and important at the same time."


    "Do you mind sharing it with me?" Shi Qiao asked. He was curious as to what important thought was going through her mind.


    Meixu smiled and took his hand and squeezed it gently. "I was thinking if we could start preparing for a child when I''m done filming this movie."


    Shi Qiao was out of it for a few seconds as he doubted if he heard her right. She was wanted then to have a child soon?


    "Wait, are you serious or are you pulling my legs? Hold on, are you recording this?" Shi Qiao asked a little nervous about all of this.


    Meixu chuckled softly as her eyes wrinkled a bit at the corner. "No, how can I joke about an important matter like this? I''m serious. I don''t want to wait anymore, let''s have a baby once I''m done filming."


    "Seriously? Are you for real?" Shi Qiao asked a little excitedly.


    He was ted because he told her when they were courting that she wouldn''t like to have a child immediately. She needed like 3 years into their marriage before preparing to have children which he agreed.


    At that time, he felt that it was a little far as he really wanted a child, but since he loved her so much and was epting and understanding of her, he agreed to it.


    Now, she was saying that she was ready to have a child with him, wasn''t that the greatest news he has ever had recently?


    In response to his question, Meixu nodded. "I have thought things through and decided to have a child soon. I will finish filming in 3 months, and maybe at the end of the third month, we would start preparing."


    She had been thinking about this for the past few days and discovered that having a child wouldn''t be a bad idea.


    She can take 3 years off her career to have a child and raise it for another year, while spending time with her family, before going back to the screen again.


    Despite the cons of taking that much gap off the screen, knowing fully well that she might not have a bettere back, as other actresses fighting for an image would take over the screens before shees back, she was ready to do it.


    Sometimes, it was not all about her career, family was important as well. Although Shi Qiao might not stop her from working because he already understood how much she loved her work before he proposed to her, she should still think about the right thing to do.


    Shi Qiao was so happy that he lifted her in his arms and twirled.


    "This is good news! Honey, you don''t know how happy I am!"


    "Of course, I know how happy you are, can you put me down before I get dizzy?" Meixu said giving off a smallugh.


    She was happy to have made him happy with that decision she made. Who knew he wanted a child badly but didn''t say anything to her about it?


    Shi Qiao refused to put her down until he has had enough fun. Even at that, his excitement didn''t die down that easily. That evening, he took her on a shopping date.


    You know that feeling when your man takes you out for shopping and tells you to pick anything you want? That was how Meixu was feeling.


    Back at the Fu house, Zhang Liling was chewing some nuts while reading a fashion magazine.


    Fu Hua saw how busy her mouth was, and how focused she was on that magazine and got jealous.


    She hasn''t even spared him a nce since he stepped into the room. Even when she noticed his presence and greeted him, she didn''t raise her head.


    He wondered what was more interesting in the magazine that got all of her attention.


    Getting off the couch, Fu Hua walked into the closet to change his dress and take a shower. He had just finished ying with that giddy little girl and wanted to freshen up and wash the sweat off his body.


    When he was done, he wrapped a towel around his body and walked into the room. He looked so breathtaking after taking a shower, but there was no one to admire him.


    Small droplets of water trickle down his chest from his hair as he tool slow and steady steps to the bed.


    Jia Li was too engrossed with the fashion magazine that even when she noticed his presence, she didn''t react.


    The next thing she felt after his presence, was the wet lips on her cheeks, plus the fresh scent of the shower gel he used to wash his.


    Jia Li smiled and continued to read the magazine. She was resting the story of a famous fashion icon which was so interesting.


    She thought he only wanted a peck, that was why she smiled and didn''t look at him, but who knew he was more than half-naked and wanted something more?

 Chapter 778 Seducing his pregnant wife out of jealousy

    <h4>Chapter 778 Seducing his pregnant wife out of jealousy</h4>


    Since a peck on her cheek wasn''t enough to get her attention, maybe a kiss on her like instead, would do the trick, and so Fu Hua went further with his actions.


    He leaned in closer and moved his lips further downwards and went his eyes met her poised lips, he slightly opened his mouth and hungrily captured her lips.


    Jia Li was not expecting that action from him and evenughed when her mouth was inside his. She found his actions funny.


    Now when she thought it was time to get back to the magazine when he let go of her lips, her gaze caught his nudity.


    All this while, she didn''t even know the state he was in.


    "Darling, you just got out of the shower, go put some clothes on, and you don''t want to catch a cold right?" She said to him with a big smile before sifting her gaze back to her magazine.


    Fu Hua didn''t know if he should be angry with her reaction. That was not the kind of reaction he was expecting!


    Shouldn''t she jump on him, or maybe try to caress him a bit before letting go, why is she so indifferent?


    Has she by any chance lost pleasure in his body?


    Fu Hua took a good lol at his body and saw that he still had his charms and glory. His abs were still intact, his chest muscles were still the same, and in all, he still looked fabulous and sexy, so what was the problem?


    Fu Hua couldn''t take things lying this way, he huffed and pushed on the mount, the knot of the towel, and it loosened and dropped at his feet.


    Next, he snatched the magazine from her without warning, which forced her to put her full attention on him.


    Jia Li was about to scold him for distracting her, and she had just turned to do that when she saw him standing beside her stack naked.


    "OMG! Fu Hua, why are... what... what are you doing?!" Jia Lo stammered.


    How could he take off his towel without warning, and how he was standing right in front of her in his full glory? Was he finding this funny?


    "Finally, I can get your attention now, maybe I should have done this a long time ago," Fu Hua said with a wicked smile and he closed the page she was reading in the magazine, before dropping it on the floor and climbing into bed.


    ''Oh no! this is not a good sign!'' Jia Li screamed in her head as she tried to get out of bed, but before she could even attempt that, he blocked her.


    Jia Li was now in her third trimester, and she was due at the end of September, which meant that her baby bump had already grown more, which made moving a little difficult for her.


    "Where do you think you are going to? You should have paid attention to me earlier, but your magazine was more important and better looking than me," Fu Hua said in a low dangerous tone as he held her ankle and spread her legs apart.


    Jia Li ced her hand on his chest to stop him from moving further. "Darling is not like that. I was reading something interesting about a famous fashion icon. Her story is very interesting and I wanted to know how she started and kept up with her work until she got the attention.


    Fu Hua knelt between her legs before moving her hand from his chest and down to his lower abdomen.


    "Even now, you still don''t know the kind of situation you are into or are you being ignorant on purpose?"


    Jia Li knew where he was going to put her hand next and quickly stole a nce at that ce before forcefully trying to retract her hand but failed.


    She had no choice but to squeeze her hand in a first, so he wouldn''t seed in making her grab him.


    "I see that you are being stubborn. Since you don''t want to touch me, how about I do the opposite?" Fu Hua asked with a dangerous gaze.


    ''Touch her instead?'' Jia Li didn''t want that. She didn''t want to be aroused because she was not interested, so she ended up falling into his trap by slowly releasing her fist.


    Immediately the pressure was off, Fu Hua smiled to himself and brought her hand downwards, and made her grab his member.


    ''You really don''t know what you have gotten yourself into right?'' He thought to himself whileughing in his mind.


    He nned to make her wet and beg him for relief while she was touching him. And how to do that, was what he knew best.


    It wasn''t long before Jia Li epted to do what he wanted. She thought that he wanted to be pleasured that way, and since she wasn''t in the mood to be too intimate with him, she figure she could use this method to satisfy him.


    Slowly rubbing his member with her hands, she put all of her attention into giving him a relief, but Fu Hua didn''t want just that, he was greedy for more.


    While feeling her soft hands slowly gliding to and fro his member while keeping in-between her legs, Fu Hua shut his eyes, feeling a little pleasure from her touch.


    Exhaling slowly, he opened his eyes, as his gaze changed and became deeper.


    "Kiss me, and don''t stop touching me," Hemanded in a tone that couldn''t be refused.


    When le leaned over, Jia Li did as he requested. She shut her eyes and captured his lips. From soft kisses, she slowly progressed to a deep kiss. When she wanted to let go, he continued with the kiss.


    As their tongues danced together in one rhythm, Jia Li rubbed him faster, and he slowly reached out to touch her breasts.


    Jia Li wasn''t putting on a bra, so, it was easy for him to feel her softness and enjoy the pleasure that came from it.


    Carefully, he went on to give them a gentle squeeze. He was being very careful to not cause her any pain because her boobs were very sensitive these days due to the pregnancy, and could easily hurt if he didn''t control the power in his hands.

 Chapter 779 His frustration at being starved

    <h4>Chapter 779 His frustration at being starved</h4>


    "You know you can''t go in right?" Jia Li said in a sultry tone. She was halfway undressed as she said that.


    Her boobs were bare before him as she said that. He was ying with them as if he was getting ready to enter her.


    Fu Hua almost got distracted by that statement. "What do you mean I can''t go in, are you not wet?" He asked in-between panting while kneeling in between her legs.


    "I don''t want it, I just want to pleasure you the other way so you can get a relief. I don''t want s*x right now!" Jia Li said as his gaze slowly turned back to normal.


    She didn''t want to have s*x because she was not in the mood for it, and pregnancy was making it hard for her. She has never been so angry with her second pregnancy than in this 3rd trimester period.


    Sometimes, she wondered about the reason she got pregnant in the first ce.


    First of all, the current size of her baby bump was something else, and if she only had one baby in there, she would have put it to bed the previous month, but things were different.


    She had to deal with the weight of her baby bump and the annoying challenges that came with it.


    Yes, a few minutes ago she was smiling but now, she was starting to get annoyed. She didn''t feel like herself anymore


    "Do you thest time we had s*x?"


    "Are youining because it''s been a while and you want to just do it, or because you feel like it?"


    "Wait, why are you getting so worked up?" Fu Hua asked as he moved away from her body andy his back on the bed.


    "I was only reminding you, so you will be aware of how long I have been starved. But why are you not in the mood, am I no longer appealing to you?"


    "What are you talking about?"


    "I mean, you look like you are not interested in letting me in. Do you no longer find me attractive?"


    Jia Li sighed and said, "It''s not that I no longer find you attractive, but I''m ufortable with going beyond this. If you want your sexual life back, pray the babiese out faster.


    "Do you mean I have to go for another 2 months without s*x? Why are you punishing me?"


    "You have to bear the consequences of putting your seed in me," Jia Li said and struggled before getting out of bed and fixing her dress.


    She ced her hands below her baby bump, to help her lift the weight, before making her way into the restroom, leaving her starved husband to send for himself.


    Fu Hua nced at his member and felt the difort and pain from before growling. His erection was still there, but Jia Li''s statement hadpletely dampened his mood.


    A few minutes ago, he was ready to enter her, but she slipped away before him. He was so sure that he had her under control, but it turned out to be his wishful thinking.


    There was no way he was going to force her to satisfy his desires that way, but the pain of missing burning himself inside and filling her with his seed was too much.


    If he had to wait for 2 more months before her delivery, what about her one-month recovery period?


    This meant that he would have to abstain from s*x for the next 3-4 months. Wasn''t he going to die from hunger?


    It''s not like he didn''t know how to control himself, but the thought of staying away from her for that long was driving him mad.


    ncing at his member again, he became more frustrated. He was tempted to beg Jia Li to just go for one round, but he couldn''t.


    His wife didn''t look to be in a good mood, and it''s not like he wanted to abbreviate her temper the more, but at least, one release would have been better instead of leaving him hanging like that.


    After cleaning up in the bathroom, Jia Li returned to the bed while Fu Hua remained naked on the bed for a few more minutes before going into the bathroom to take a cold shower.


    The next morning, Fu Hua was awake so early, but he remained unmoving. Heid with his back against the bed, and with his right hand under his head while staring at the roof.


    He didn''t have a good night''s sleep, and it was all visible on his face, who knew what was going on in his head.


    After forcing himself to sleep with dissatisfaction arched in his memory, this was the result.


    Not longter, Jia Li stirred in her sleep, and in a few minutes, she was awake. As she slowly opened her eyes, she stretched her hands out for a stretch but ended up hitting Fu Hua''s hand with a light force.


    "Sorry... good morning," She apologized and greeted and shed him a small smile, but he only nced at her and hummed in response before throwing his gaze back on the roof.


    "What''s going on, are you worried about something?" Jia Li asked as she struggled to sit up on the bed.


    Her tone wasn''t particrly concerned or worried. It sounded as if it was only normal for her to ask.


    Fu Hua shifted his gaze to her and asked, "Are you sure you want to know the answer to that question?"


    Jia Lo thought of something and shook her head, "Forget it!" Then she got off the bed and went to use the washroom.


    ''She doesn''t even care to cate me or exin things!'' Fu Hua thought with an annoyed gaze while staring at her back till she slowly disappeared into the inner room.


    Not long after, Jasmine came barging in after a few gentle knocks on the door.


    "Daddy!" The excited little girl called out as she ran towards the bed to receive her morning hugs and kisses.


    Fu Hua managed a smile and got out of bed, and right at the time she ran over, he lifted her in his arms and showered her with kisses all over her face.


    Jasmine couldn''t help chuckling and trying to hide because she felt a little ticklish when his subtle made contact with her soft skin.


    Even though Fu Hua was not in the mood, he had to give his little girl her normal treat.


    After ying with her a few more times, he put her on the bed and began to ask her some questions, like if she slept well and if she had washed up.


    This was the scene Jia Li saw when she finished showering and came out of the inner room.


    She saw the close bonding between the father and daughter and thought, ''Is he happy now?''


    But that wasn''t the case. Fu Hua was still pretty much annoyed, and that was made known when Jia Li stepped into the bedroom.


    He hurriedly went into the bathroom to freshen up, and by the time he was out, the mother and daughter had already left.


    ''Heartless woman!''


    During breakfast, Jia Li and Fu Hua took turns putting food on Jasmine''s te, but never exchanged nces or said anything to each other.


    Grandfather Fu who was sitting next to Jia Li and at the head of the table, felt that something was off about them.


    It''s not like they always conversed every morning during dinner, but the atmosphere and vibe he was receiving from them didn''t look alright.


    He thought he should monitor them to see if he was mistaken.


    Grandfather Fu had not yet made a full recovery after 2 weeks, but he was better than the other time he had a mild heart attack.


    He looked older, and his voice was weak, but his eyes were full of strength. It showed his stance on not backing down no matter the challenges life throws at him.


    After dinner, Fu Hua went into his study and locked himself up. He buried himself in work until it was time for lunch, and YingPei had toe over to call him.


    Jia Li didn''t know he was still sulking about the previous night and thought he was too caught up with work, so she asked YingPei to call him out for lunch, while she stayed with Jasmine and guided her to the dining room.


    "Why are you here?" Fu Hua asked with a death re immediately after he saw YingPei stride into his study without knocking.


    "It''s time for lunch, are you noting out?" YingPei asked seemingly unaffected by his brother''s mood.


    "If that is the reason you came, make use of the door, I will eatter," Fu Hua said and shifted his gaze back to the array of digital clothes on his system.


    YingPei nodded and said, "I don''t why you are ring up, it''s not like I angered you or something, but I''m going to report back to sister-inw because she sent me to you."


    Fu Hua pretended as if he didn''t hear anything and continued with his gaze fixed on the screen.


    Seeing that he wasn''t making a move, YingPei turned around to leave. After he had shut the door behind him, Fu Hua raised his gaze and said in a low tone, and with a frown on his face, "Why didn''t shee to find me herself?"

 Chapter 780 Caught in her web of seduction

    <h4>Chapter 780 Caught in her web of seduction</h4>


    Fu Hua sulked and stayed in his study for a long time before finallying out.


    Seeing him walk over, Jia Li sighed and moved her gaze away. He was really angry.


    When she heard from YingPei of his actions in the study, she thought about how long he had been starved before shifting her thoughts. Now seeing him reminded her of it.


    No one said anything to Fu Hua foringte for lunch. They all thought he was busy preparing for the fashion show.


    Fu Hua took a seat beside Jasmine and picked up his cutlery to eat, still with a stoic expression on his face.


    Little Jasmine used her cutlery to pick out a piece of braised pork that her mother had just put into her te and transferred it to her father''s te with a small smile.


    Fu Hua smiled as he watched her little caring actions. "Thank you," He said as he immediately picked up the piece of braised pork and sent it into his mouth.


    While chewing on it, he raised his left hand to pat Jasmine''s head adoringly.


    After lunch, Jia Li was the first to leave the dining room, but before leaving, she said to Ling, "Ling, please can you watch over for a few hours, I have something important to do. Do you have anything on?"


    Before Ling could reply, Fu Hee said with a big smile on her face, "Da Xia is notcking anyone to look after her, go on and do your thing, I will take care of her. But are you feeling okay, do you want to take a nap?"


    Jia Li managed a smile saying, "My stomach is not feeling well, but I want to take a bath first."


    Fu ChuHua immediately said, "If you are not feeling well, then we should call the doctor."


    "No, Aunty, it''s not serious, otherwise I won''t keep calm about it," Jia Li replied and without waiting for any other reaction from any of them, she left the dining room.


    Fu Hua who had earlier stolen a nce at her when she wasining about her stomach, frowned at her departure.


    "Hua, go and take a look at her. And help her to avoid slipping in the bathroom," Fu Hee said with a worried gaze.


    There was nothing wrong with what she said. Jia Li was heavily pregnant, and there was nothing bad with him helping her out in the bathroom, after all, they were husband and wife.


    Also mentioning something like that in the dining room where everyone was present, wasn''t off at all.


    Fu Hua nodded at his mother before patting Jasmine''s hair. He asked her to be a good girl before leaving their presence.


    Fu Hee made the effort of scooting to the chair next to Jasmine to chat with the little girl and keep herpany after her parents left.


    Fu Hua took steady steps up the stairs and down to his bedroom. There was a calm look on his face as there seemed to be no longer a trace of anger on his face.


    It looked like he was worried about his wife''sints as that was his first priority. Herints reminded him of what she might be going through in that pregnancy.


    He thought he was taking care of her enough, but it looked like it wasn''t enough since he was not the one bearing that burden.


    Thinking that a Yoga ss in the evening will help relieve her stress, he walked into the bedroom and shut the door behind him.


    Straight away, he made his way into the bathroom since the bedroom was empty. Immediately, he saw Jia Li standing there in her undies and staring at the bath she had drawn.


    Hearing the door open behind her, she didn''t flinch or say a word for she knew who it was. After all, she had made hime there, so why would she be surprised about it?


    "Do you need help? Does your tummy still feel ufortable?" Fu Hua asked with his hands in his pockets as he stood behind her.


    Jia Li finally turned to face him and said, "Yes, I need your help. Please help me unsp my bra and take off my panties. My hands are shaking, and I don''t know why."


    Her call for help was not absurd, but Fu Hua found it strange. It wasn''t surprising for her to ask him for that kind of help, but he couldn''t exin why he suddenly didn''t take her seriously.


    Fu Hua scrutinized every inch of her body with his gaze before his hands finally rested on his hands to see them a little shaky.


    That was a sign that she was saying the truth, so he moved his gaze back to his face and locked gazes with her, before deciding to step forward.


    ncing at her chest, he saw how big her boobs had gotten and saw how it was almost threatening to scoop off her bra and said, "Let''s go shopping tomorrow, the bra is undersized, and it must be ufortable for you."


    While saying that, he moved his hands behind her to u sp her bra, before taking it off her chest.


    Her full breasts immediately felt free as both bounced off her chest. They were bigger now and looked almost twice their original sizes.


    Her breasts were so full and perky. Her nipples were standing erect and looked very attractive.


    Fu Hua could not escape from admiring them in the little few seconds he had.


    "It''s fine, I have other ones withrger cup sizes, I just felt like putting on this one today." Jia Li replied in a soft tone.


    "If that is the case, refrain from wearing bras that are not your size, I heard it''s very bad to wear undersized bras. Don''t you want the blood to flow properly in your breasts?"


    The next thing to do was to take off her panties, so he got on one knee and put his hands on her waist to take off her panties, while she ce a hand on her shoulder to steady herself.


    To thest question he asked, Jia Li remained calm about it and refused to answer.


    When Jia Li raised her foot so he could take off one side of the panties, Fu Hua whiffed the scent of her womanhood and instantly felt aroused.


    When she raised her second foot so he. wouldpletely take off the panties, he whiffed that scent again, and could almost immediately feel his erection in his pants.


    He sighed deeply before standing to his feet properly before guiding Jia Li to the bathtub and helping her to get into it.


    Jia Li was holding onto his arm tightly and felt more rxed after she had gotten into the bathtub.


    She was standing and holding onto his arm when he said, "Go Head and sit in the tub, I will wait in the bedroom for you. As soon as you finish call me, and I wille and help you out."


    Jia Li stared into his eyes before asking softly, "Can I kiss you?"


    Fu Hua felt a bomb go off in his head, and in that part in between his legs. His erection was throbbing and begging to be released, but he subjected his mind to tight control and ignored it.


    Shifting his gaze from that innocent face to the bathtub which had only clear water, Fu Hua asked, "Did you want to have a bubble bath? If yes, I will help you prepare it, but just sit first."


    Jia Li noticed he was trying to ignore her and moved her gaze to that ce in between his legs and thought, ''Is it not working?''


    She didn''t see a bulge there and thought that her invention had failed.


    ''Maybe I should attack him directly?''


    Fu Hua noticed where she was staring at her and almost lost control. He had wanted to let her go, but she was the one holding unto him now.


    He was about to ask why she was hesitating to take a bath when she moved her gaze back to his face, and without warning, she put her hands there and squeezed gently.


    Fu Hua instinctively let out a groan and almost pushed her away, but he managed to be rational and only squeezed her hand which was holding his shirt tightly.


    Seeing that reaction, Jia Li smiled at him and continued to touch him there, but the next second, his left hand psed on it and stopped her.


    "What are you doing? Are you trying to make me all riled up and then leave me in misery?" Fu Hua asked in a deep low voice.


    His tone was no longer casual, but her changed to one that conveyed his hidden dark desires.


    Since he had his hand mped over hers, Jia Li was unable to continue getting him fired up, but the next statement she made shocked him.


    She looked him in the eyes and said with a small smile, "Last night, I was not in the mood because I was suddenly angry about the pregnancy and the difort. But this morning, I wanted to give you a good treat in the bathroom, but I knew Jasmine woulde in, so I dropped that idea. The best time to get you would have been after lunch, and I''m happy it did work, although I was a little annoyed at you for sulking and ignoring me."

 Chapter 781 Love in the bathtub 1

    <h4>Chapter 781 Love in the bathtub 1</h4>


    "Are you doing this to satisfy me, or because you also want it?" Fu Hua asked, his hand still stopping her in her tracks.


    "Because it is the right thing to do, and it''s not against my wish." Jia Li replied with her gaze on him.


    Fu Hua gazed at her silently for a while before letting go of her hands, and without a second gone, she continued to stroke him.


    "So, this was a setup?" He asked with a stern gaze, refusing to divulge the pleasures he found from being touched by her.


    Jia Li didn''t mind his tone as he could pretend for all he wanted. She could feel his erection bulging in her palm, and that alone has made her rxed.


    That was a sign that what due was doing to him was walking, so he could go on and continue to pretend.


    "If you see it that way, it''s fine by me. We don''t have a lot of time because I want to have a nap after this, or I might miss my Yoga ss this evening if I sleepte." Jia Li said in a kind reminder.


    She wanted a nap, and the earlier the better. If she took her napte, she might not wake up on time for her Yoga sses.


    Fu Hua was speechless. How could she be telling him about her ap when they were in the middle of something? It almost looked like this was a normal y to her.


    Fu Hua was a bit furious and inched closer to her, but he was forced to stop when he met a barrier. Her baby bump stood in the way, and he couldn''t feel the softness of her chest against his body anymore.


    If he wanted to feel her boobs, then he would have to touch them with bus hands.


    At the thought of what the babies were depriving him of, Fu Hua red at her baby bump.


    Jia Li caught that re and almost smacked him on his shoulder.


    "What was that for? Didn''t we create them together?" She asked as she was about to stop pleasuring him, but he caught her hand and put it back there.


    Fu Hua released a deep breath before apologizing, "It was a mistake."


    How could that be a mistake, he just red at his babies? Did they do something wrong to him?


    Yes, they got in his way of having maximum pleasure.


    Jia Li was about to continue scolding him, but he cut off her words before she could even start.


    "Sit first, let me take off my clothes." Fu Hua said as he took her hands and helped her to sit in the bathtub, before taking a few steps away to undress in front of her.


    While sitting in the bathtub and ying with the water, Jia Li fixed her gaze on him, as she watched him slowly undress in front of her. She liked the thrill of it and couldn''t help smiling.


    Fu His took his time while taking off his clothes, and he made sure to fix his gaze on her while doing so.


    Soon, he was stack naked before her and walked back to the bathtub in steady steps. While making his way there, Jia Li followed the movement of his member moving from side to side as he came toward her.


    His thick length made her blood boil and she couldn''t help smiling. She only took her gaze off him when he stepped into the tub and sat before her.


    "Like what you see?" He asked with a smirk as he inched closer to her.


    Jia Li spread her legs and hung her hands around his neck with a smile. "I like it, because it is mine, and I have been taking care of it."


    Fu Hua captured her lips right as she said that. This was not the normal method of taking this slow. No, it wasn''t. There was no time for that.


    As hetched his lips on her, he lounged his tongue into her mouth and explored it, while grazing her lips with his teeth.


    His hands were caressing her neck and her back to stir up more pleasure in her.


    At first, Fu Hua was too fast for Jia Li to meet up with, but soon, she was not just receiving his kisses, but also returning them as well.


    As their hot tongues entangled with each other and danced to the same tone, more sparks flew around them.


    If not for the baby bump putting a clear distance between them, Fu Hu would have brought Jia Li so close to him that their bodies would have been sticking together.


    In that close range, they would be feeling each other''s skin. He would feel the softness of her chest against his chest, and they would both feel each other down there.


    With his erection sticking to her, she would have been moaning his name already, but too bad, their babies were still growing in her womb.


    Now, this was going to take a little brain work for Fu Hua to make them both feel the pleasure.


    After kissing her for a while, he got up and came to sit behind her before she could ask what was going on, and then, he pulled her so that her back was now against his chest, while his erection throbbed down her butts.


    Jia Li released a small moan when she felt his erection poking behind her, and it made her feel suddenly good.


    But before she could sigh in relief, Fu Hua had already started to kiss her neck and shoulder, while slowly moving his left hand towards her baby bump, while the other hand patched on her breasts.


    Jia Li let out a louder moan and raised her hands before moving them behind her to hug Fu Hua''s neck.


    As if that was not enough, Fu Hua turned hed body slightly so he could get ess to one of her breasts beforetching his mouth on her nipple to suck it, forcing Jia Li to moan his name with an irresistible tone.

 Chapter 782 Love in the bathtub 2

    <h4>Chapter 782 Love in the bathtub 2</h4>


    Her moan did something to Fu Hua. It sent a message to his brain and got him more excited. And in that excitement, he continued to y wig hed nipples.


    He sued his tongue to assault her. He sucked it, rubbed it, and licked it with his tongue. He did this while slowly moving his hand from her baby bump to the ced in-between her legs.


    His two fingers rubbed her entrance, causing her to inch her back and let out an incredible moan. She was so aroused as whatever he was going to her, was working.


    After teasing her entrance, he moved his finger to her clits to rub them, while sucking hard on her nipples.


    The sensation she felt, caused her blood to boil, and she couldn''t hell losing control and kicking her legs in the water.


    She continued to moan his name until he moved his lips from her nipple to her lips, and swallowed up her moan.


    Breaking the kiss after a full minute after she hungrily swallowed this kiss, he asked in a deep husky voice that caused her entrance to drip with sweet juices.


    "Do you like what I''m doing? What other bad things do you want me to do to you?"


    Jia Li refused to answer and inched her lips closer to his mouth, but he didn''t let her have him.


    Fu Hua continued to rub her clits and at the same time, moved his other hand below her baby bump and without warning, he slipped two fingers inside her entrance, causing her to almost wriggle away.


    The pleasure she felt from being teased by him, brought her dissatisfaction. She went more of him. She wanted his touch and kisses, and to also feel him inside of her, so she could enjoy clenching him inside of her, and releasing him.


    At the same time that she wanted a release for her pleasure, she also wanted it to continue. Jia Li was almost losing her mind from his teasing and had to answer the question he asked.


    If he continued to tease her, she wanted his lipstched on her. She wanted that deep kiss again more than anything.


    "I wa...nt you buried inside of me. I want you to make it harder, don''t slow down... ah! please,e in now... I can''t take you teasing anymore!"


    Fu Hua quickly blocked hed mouth with his hands. He didn''t even need to put a lot of effort into kissing her because she was already doing it. She was kissing him hungrily at the moment.


    When she was telling him how she wanted to be pleasured, his fingers that were below began to work urgently, and he made are to slip the two fingers deeper while moving in and out of her at the quickest pace.


    A few minutester, Fu Hua was ready to go inside her. He had to change their position and make her kneel in front of him, but her back facing him.


    He made her bend over before kneeling behind her and without warning, he entered her from behind. Jia Li let out a gasp when she felt his erection enter her from behind.


    She had to hold the bathtub for support as he began to move in and out of her while fumbling with her clits.


    She could no longer control her moans as they became louder with each second that passed.


    Finally, Fu Hua stopped rubbing her clits when they were both at their peak of pleasure, and they both had climaxed at the same time.


    Jia Li felt his warm seeds pouring into her, and some of them dripped down her legs and into the water. She had to maintain the same position for a few seconds before he helped her to sit in the tub.


    It took a while for their breathing to be evened.


    When Fu Hua felt she had rested enough, he wanted to ask her for another round, but she tantly told him that his waist was hurting.


    Fu Hua thought it was an excuse not to do it again, but she looked serious.


    "You will have to massage my back till I sleep off," Jia Li said to him with a frown.


    "Why do you sound annoyed, you were the one that led me into the bathroom. You wanted it here, and that was the only position we could do in the tub. If it were in the bedroom, we would have taken another better position." Fu Hua said as he raised his hands on her baby bump and began to caress it.


    "Are you ming me now?" Jia Li asked in a sharp tone. She didn''t look pleased at all, and Fu Hua knew she was going to get very angry if he replied to her, so he apologized.


    As he heard her snort and rx in his arms, he couldn''t help sighing to himself. This was the same woman that was moaning and screaming his name a few minutes ago, and now she was annoyed and wanted to pick a fight with him.


    What happened to the person that was screaming in pleasure a few seconds ago? Fu Hua wanted that side of her back.


    Some minutester, Jia Li and Fu Hua finished having their bath, dressed up, and moved to the bed.


    Jia Li had toy on her sides, while Fu Hua figured out how to give her back and her waist a good massage.


    Jia Li felt better when his hands gave fed a befitting treatment, plus the sensation from the oil he was using. She had to close her eyes in satisfaction and drifted off to sleep.


    The next time she woke up, it was time for her yoga, and feeling a bit hungry, she drank the smoothie Fu Hua borough for her, before leaving for yoga.


    The pain she felt around her waist was was partially gone, but she needed to feel 100% better, so as soon as she exchanged pleasantries with her coach and sat on the mat, sheined about the back pain.


    Her coach told her it was normal in pregnancy and she just had to bear with it. Jia Li looked a bit awkward because she knew that caused her back pain.


    Her coach thought of something and told her the best sleeping position and s*x positions for the bestfort. She was also advised to use a pillow while on her sides.


    Jia Li had a hard time keeping her embarrassment in check. Her ears flushed with a deep shade of pink, but she refused to be found out and kept her gaze straight.

 Chapter 783 Intentionally stirring trouble

    <h4>Chapter 783 Intentionally stirring trouble</h4>


    Grandfather Fu''s health was so much better these days. Although the chances of going back to his normal vigor were small, he was still a lot better than a few days ago.


    His family has been taken care of him, and the burden he used to bear alone was shared amongst them.


    But something was left for him to do, because, if everything was taken away from a man who used to be so active before, he might slip into depression, so something was left to keep his mind and hands busy.


    Jia Li was granted leave because of her pregnancy, but she did drop by a few times to check on work progress, but she doesn''t stay till the end of work hours no matter what.


    Because of the stress of being pregnant, she easily felt drowsy and moody, so when shees in the morning, she would go back immediately it clocked noon.


    Fu Hua told her not toe to work anymore for a week to FJ''s fashion show, and she agreed.


    The previous day was, Jia Li''sst day at work, and today being Thursday, she was taking Jasmine to her dentist for a check-up.


    She drove them straight to the dentist to get her little girl''s teeth checked up with no one following them.


    Jia Li had in mind to only stop by at the hospital and thene home straight when they were done, but then, she remembered that Daiyu asked her to send Jasmine over so she could get familiar with the environment for her swimming lessons before she starts.


    Since there was a change of ns, Jia Li helped Jasmine into her toddler seat before climbing into the driver''s seat with much effort.


    Next, she revived the car''s engine and drove off. Once they left the hospital''s premises, she dialed Fu Hua''s contact phone number from the car. She was going to tell him where she was going.


    On the second ring, Fu Hua who was in the middle of a meeting picked up his phone which was on vibration mode.


    When he saw the called ID, he smiled a bit and put his hand up as a sign to cause with the meeting.


    He k we the call wouldn''t take long, so there was no need to excuse himself to go outside and answer the call, so he stayed back and asked for the meeting to be paused.


    Immediately he answered the call, Jia Li greeted him and asked how work was going.


    "I''m fine, currently I''m in the middle of a meeting." Fu Hua replied in a patient tone.


    Hearing that he was in the middle of a meeting, Jia Li tried to make her words brief. "Oh! I called to tell you that Jasmine and I are going to Daiyu''s swimming club to take a look since Jasmine would be starting her swimming lessons toon."


    Jasmine was already on a long break from school, and it was the perfect time to engage in a swimming lesson during their long holiday in August.


    "Are you two alone? Has she seen the dentist already?" Fu Hua inquired. He knew about his little princess visiting the dentist today.


    "We have seen the dentist already, and we are alone. I just remembered to see Daiyu, so I called to inform you."


    Fu Hua didn''t look a bit happy as he chided her for being careless.


    "It''s not good to drive that long-distance when you are heavily pregnant, you should be careful. Maybe I should take that car away from you when Ie back, you can''t be taking risks anymore."


    Jia Li didn''t have the energy to argue with him and said, "Fine, you can take the car away, but you will have to find another fun activity for me otherwise if I stay cooked up in the house for long, I might go crazy!"


    Jia Li made sure to let him know the consequences of what boredom could do to her.


    Fu Hua understood and agreed to find an interesting activity to keep her busy while at home.


    ncing at his wristwatch, he said to her, "Text me when you get there, and call me when you are about to leave so I can meet up with you."


    Jia Li nodded in agreement but then remembered he couldn''t see her and replied, "Okay, continue with your meeting, bye."


    Fu Hua hung up and waved his hand for the meeting to continue.


    When he was having a conversation with Jia Li, the board of directors already knew who he was speaking with.


    Only an emergency or his important family could make him pause in the middle of an important meeting.


    Plus the conversation he just had with her revealed a lot.


    "Mummy, was that Daddy?" Jasmine asked enthusiastically. There was a big smile on her far as she inquired.


    "Yes, and you will see him in a few hours," Jia Li replied before pressing on the speed pedal.


    Fifteen minutester, Jia Li arrived at Daiyu''s swimming center with Jasmine.


    Because she had called earlier, Daiyu was waiting for them outside of the building. Immediately she saw them, she quickly rushed towards them.


    She first embraced Jia Li from the side before lifting Jasmine in her arms and giving her a big hug.


    "I thought you wouldn''t be able to make it today," Daiyu said while leading inside the building.


    "If I had turned to the route home when I remembered it, I wouldn''t havee with her."


    Walking side by side, Daiyu asked with a slight frown, "Why did you choose to drive here by yourself? You look like you are almost about to put to bed, is this worth the stress?"


    Jia Li smiled, "This is nothing to me, but you don''t need to worry about me driving anymore, because my car it''s getting confiscated."


    **********************


    At the Guan family residence...


    The Guan family seemed to have been quiet for a long time and staying out of the Fu family and the Huang family''s way, but today, they called it quits.


    Actually, it was old Mr. Guan who was intentionally stirring trouble at the moment. It looks like he was tired of being bored and wanted to have fun.

 Chapter 784 New method of kidnapping

    <h4>Chapter 784 New method of kidnapping</h4>


    Right in that old man¡¯s study, he was sitting add at his desk when his personalndline rang. He quickly shifted his gaze from the newspaper in his hands to the telephone.


    Without thinking twice, he answered the call. And this is because he had been patiently waiting for something.


    cing the telephone in his ear, he said through it, ¡°What is the situation now?¡±


    The person on the other end replied respectfully, causing the old man to smile. ¡°You have eyes on her? Where is she?¡±


    Old Mr. Guan asked and waited patiently for that person to finish his report.


    ¡±You said she is pregnant and came with her daughter? Well, you still need to do what I asked you to do, but be careful. You only have to use a gentlemanly force, I don¡¯t intend to inflict any physical injury on her.¡±


    After speaking to the person a bit, Old Mr. Guan ended the call and continued to read the newspaper with a smile.


    Two hourster, Jia Li finished the tour at Daiyu¡¯s swimming center and decided to go home with Jasmine.


    ¡±Why don¡¯t I take you both out for snacks?¡± Daiyu suggested with a brilliant smile. Since Jia Li took the time to bring Jasmine over, she wanted to give her a good treat as a reward for her hard work.


    Jia Li nced at Jasmine before shifting her gaze back to her, ¡°I would have loved that, but her father would really be annoyed with me if he calls before I do. We need to get back home now, see you some other time.¡±


    Daiyu understood and saw them off. She only went back inside the building after hugging them and watching them drive off.


    Finally, on the road, Jia Li dialed Fu Hua¡¯s contact.


    ¡±I was about to call you now, where are you?¡± Fu Hua asked as he picked up his jacket and work bag, and strode out of his office.


    ¡±We just left Daiyu¡¯s ce, are you stilling?¡± She asked.


    ¡±Of course, I¡¯ming. Share your location with me, I¡¯m on my way.¡± Fu Hua instructed as he headed for the elevator.


    ¡±Okay,¡± Jia Li replied and clicked on share location on the screen.


    Fu Hua got the notification sound and briefly pulled his phone away from his ear to confirm her location, after which he resumed the call again.


    ¡±Okay, got it. Drive at ** km per *** don¡¯t speed, I will meet you soon.¡±


    With that, he hung up.


    A few minutes into the road, Jia Li discovered that an eye-catching car was behind her and with every turn she took, the same car would follow her.


    She found that car unfamiliar and grew suspicious. ncing at the two windows of the front part of the car, she saw two ck cars with tinted sses.


    One on her right side and the other on her left side.


    ¡±Wait, am I being followed?¡± Jia Li muttered under her breath as she gripped the steering with her fingers.


    Jia Li thought she was being followed, not knowing that she was being guided by the 4 cars surrounding her car.


    She didn¡¯t even know that the ck jeep in front was leading her to where they wanted, and she only noticed that when she honked at it, but it refused to give way for her to drive past it.


    Anyone who could nce at this view from the sky angle could see that Jia Li was surrounded on all sides by 4 cars.


    Those who didn¡¯t know better would think the cars surrounding her were escorting her, not knowing that


    Jia Li was at a loss on what to do and nced at Jasmine who was sitting in the back seat of the car. The little girl was overly quiet because she was feeling sleepy, but her eyes were still open, just that they looked very dull and tired.


    Jia Li was heavily pregnant, and she had a toddler in the car that she didn¡¯t want to startle. There was no problem with being obedient and allowing herself to be guided by those cars surrounding her, but she was angry and a little stubborn because she didn¡¯t know where they were leading her to.


    After she news forced to make a left turn, she became courageous and rolled down the driver¡¯s window and shes her headlights.


    It was a sign ofmunication since she couldn¡¯t shout on the highway.


    The driver on her right side rolled down the window side of his front passenger seat and finally made eye contact with her.


    There was someone else sitting in front of the front passenger seat, and that man ended upmunicating with her.


    ¡±What do you think you are doing by blocking my path, where are you taking me to?¡± Jia Li asked in a rxed tone.


    She was not going to show any strong emotion to them, as she didn¡¯t know what their motive was, so being neutral and calm was better.


    The man in the front passenger seat smiled a little and said to her, ¡°We are sorry Ma¡¯am for interrupting your trip back to the Fu house, but our boss asked us to bring you to the hospital for something important. Don¡¯t worry, we are not going to harm you and your child, that¡¯s why we are doing things so smoothly.¡±


    Someone asked them to bring her to the hospital, and they know Jasmine in the car with her.


    Who could be so brazen to act in that manner despite knowing her identity?


    ¡±Who is your boss and why do I need to go to the hospital with you?¡± Jia Li ended up asking with a tight frown on her face.


    ¡±You will see when we get to the hospital. We only need 5 minutes of your time at the hospital, please cooperate with us, we have no motive to harm you.¡± The man said before rolling up the window ss.


    Jia Li rolled up her window ss as well, but there was anger written all over her face. Before she could think properly to form the intention behind this crazy method of kidnapping, she got Fu Hua¡¯s call and she immediately answered it.

 Chapter 785 Fu Hua to the rescue

    <h4>Chapter 785 Fu Hua to the rescue</h4>


    Fu Hua saw from the GPS that Jia Li had taken another route that had no rtionship with the route to the Fu vi and called her.


    He thought she wanted to stop by at a different ce, and had to call her. The deal was for her to go home straight as he was originally not happy with her.


    ¡±Sweetheart, I saw that you took a wrong turn, where are you going to?¡±


    Jia Li sounded a little sensed and quickly exined what was going on.


    The more he listened, the angrier he became. He was not afraid of her life since those people ¡®guiding¡¯ her, had no intentions of murder, but he still had to be careful as he didn¡¯t know what else they were capable of.


    ¡±Which hospital are they taking you to?¡± Fu Hua asked.


    ¡±They didn¡¯t mention it.¡± Jia Li replied almost immediately. She had been a little shocked earlier that it didn¡¯t ur to her to ask about the name of the hospital she was being taken to.


    Fu Hua quickly checked the road map to see the hospitals along or close to the area she was. But this didn¡¯t mean that they were taking her to any of them.


    ¡±I¡¯ming, my eyes are on you, and I¡¯m going to put more eyes on you. Just follow them, but when you get to the hospital, stop the car in front of the parking lot, never enter the underground parking lot with them, and never step out of the car. Make sure you turn on the central lock.¡±


    Jia Li nodded and continued to drive. She didn¡¯t end the call, because they still needed to keep in touch with each other.


    Fu Hua quickly made some calls. First of all, he asked for a drone to get the video of the 4 cars surrounding Jia Li, and their te numbers to find out their owner, and then he asked for a backup and gave out Jia Li¡¯s location on the map.


    After making those calls, Fu Hua elerated the car and made a turn in the same direction Jia Li and her kidnappers had taken. Then he spoke into the phone to ask how she was doing, and if Jasmine was okay, before giving his current location to her.


    Fifteen minutester, Jia Li¡¯s kidnappers led her into the environment of a private hospital, and she quickly told Fu Hua about it.


    Fu Hua not wasting time, looked the hospital up and checked the entrances before telling her where to stop.


    ¡±They wouldn¡¯t dare to be violent with you in public as there are still people around. Try to stall then for 2 minutes.¡±


    Fu Hua said before making other calls as well to give out Jia Li¡¯s current location, and then h checked on the drone he requested to take the shots.


    The person that was ordered to do it, gave a report that he was already recording the video, and had visuals on Jia Li.


    Fu Hua floored the elerator, as he needed to get to that private hospital in 2 minutes.


    When they got to the private hospital, Jia Li found the most eye-catching area and stopped her, just before they could make a detour toward the underground parking lot.


    Immediately she stopped her car, she put on the central lock and left the AC on.


    Seeing that she has stopped the car and was making no attempt to contour driving, the 4 cars stopped as well, and the people in the car in front, all stepped out and moved towards the driver¡¯s side of the car.


    These people didn¡¯t look like goons because they were well dressed, and they didn¡¯t look harmful as well.


    These 3 men made their way to the diver¡¯s side and asked Jia Li to roll down her car window, but she didn¡¯t respond to them.


    She even couldn¡¯t hear their words clearly and refused to be tempted to roll down her car window, as that would be an advantage to them.


    No matter what these people said, Jia Li refused to respond, so they had no choice but to make a call to Old Mr. Giant to report the current situation to him.


    ¡±...she stopped in an eye-catching spot so we can¡¯t use force on her.¡±


    ¡±That girl has a lot of sense, but who said that you can¡¯t use force now? Get her to drive away. Surely, that spot she is parked is illegal. Get her to move her car away. I don¡¯t care whatever means you use, but you must make sure you take her away from that spot!¡±


    With thatmand, those men tried to forcefully open her car doors and failed. One of them broke the door handle of the front passenger side.


    All these happened within the clear vision of the drone watching them, then it suddenly moved forward to attract their attention.


    ¡±Are we being monitored?¡± One of them asked when he heard that buzzing sound and saw the drone.


    The other one said, ¡°I think we should get out of here first and report to Old Master Guang.


    The others in the remaining cars noticed the drone, and two from each car, stepped down to see what was going on and then discussed with the others about leaving.


    They were starting to attract attention to themselves. But who said they could leave now?


    Exactly 2 minutes after they arrived at the hospital, Fu Hua arrived at speed and parked behind the car at Jia Li¡¯s back.


    Others could run away, but the other one can¡¯t make a move with Jia Li¡¯s car in front of him, and Fu Hua¡¯s car behind him.


    Seeing that care straight at them, they became rmed and wanted to know who it was.


    Fu Hua quickly told Jia Li a short assuring sentence before getting out of the car when the three men approached his car.


    ¡±I¡¯m here.¡±


    Jia Li sighed in relief and started watching what was going on from her side mirror.


    ¡±Who are...¡± One of them wanted to ask Fu Hua who he was, but he immediately swallowed the rest of his words when he alighted from the car.


    They could very well see who he was.


    ¡±Who sent you to kidnap my wife?¡± Fu Hua asked with a furious gaze. He wasn¡¯t even afraid of them doing anything to him. In his mind, he was even daring them to.


    (

 Chapter 786 Taking care of her affairs

    <h4>Chapter 786 Taking care of her affairs</h4>


    These men sent by Old Mr. Guan were afraid and quickly decided to walk away after telling each other to get back to the car.


    Their mission was already aborted immediately after Fu Hua appeared. They clearly didn¡¯t have a choice but to leave, but not under Fu Hua¡¯s watch.


    ¡±Where do you think you are going to, did I ask you to leave?¡±


    One of them turned to reply, ¡°You don¡¯t need to ask us to leave.¡±


    Just then, 4 military vehicles drove in and immediately blocked the path those their cars would have followed to leave and rushed out to surround those men.


    Themander in the army who brought his team, walked toward Fu Hua to receive instructions from him.


    The drone which had been recording the incident, stopped recording and flew toward Fu Hua¡¯s direction and made a stop.


    Fu Hua took the drone and whipped out the SD card there and passed it to themander.


    ¡±This is the evidence of an attempted kidnapping against my wife. Find out who sent them for this kind of action and the motive behind it. I¡¯m calling mywyer immediately because I¡¯m suing this person to court!¡±


    Themander took the SD card which contained the memory card that recorded the footage from Fu Hua and nced at it with furrowed brows.


    ¡±I will do as you have asked and will report back to you 10 minutes after we get back to the base. For now, some of my men will escort you and your family back home.¡±


    Having said that, themander issued amand for 3 soldiers to escort Jia Li and Fu Hua home, and it was only when Fu Hua came close to Jia Li¡¯s car that she unlocked it, as the danger had passed.


    When themander said he would report back to Fu Hua after 10 minutes of them getting to the base, he meant that when they get to the base, it will only take at most 10 minutes to get all the answers to that incident before reporting back to him. How efficient!


    Fu Hua hugged Jia after he opened the car door. Next, he kissed her forehead and asked how she was doing.


    He wanted to make sure that she didn¡¯t get any shock because of the incident. Jia Li said she was fine before Fu Hua peered behind her to see that his little girl was sleeping peacefully.


    With the escort from the arm, Fu Hu and Jia Li went back to the Fu House. After giving heads up to the family about what happened which left them in shock, he called Jia Li¡¯s doctor toe and check on her.


    Jia Li told him not to worry and that she was fine, but he refused to believe that and went ahead to call the doctor.


    Before the doctor coulde over, Fu Hua got information from themander that Old Mr. Guang was behind those men, and wanted to take Jia Li¡¯s blood.


    As to what he wanted to use the blood for, thru didn¡¯t know.


    When Fu Hua heard that, he was so angry because he already knew what old Mr. Guang wanted to do. He wanted to get a DNA test to confirm if Jia Li was Guang Mu¡¯s biological daughter.


    There was no way Fu Hua or anyone from the Fu and Huang family will allow that test to be done.


    It can never be confirmed that Jia Li had a rtionship with the Guang family, and was a product of rape.


    Fu Hua told themander to hold that piece of evidence as hiswyers would be there soon to take care of the rest.


    After speaking with themander, Jia Li¡¯s doctor arrived and conducted a simple test on her. The babies were okay, but Jia Li¡¯s blood pressure was high, so she took care of it.


    The Fu family members were so angry with the Guang family and swore to get the highest punishment they could for Old Mr. Guan.


    Two dayster, Old Mr. Guang who has been in a panic since he lostmunication with his men, received a summon to appear in court in 2 days time.


    Fu Hua submitted all evidence he had and sued Old Mr. Guan for attempted kidnapping and took him to court. The old man was so furious but couldn¡¯t do anything because he was at fault


    But he was angry because Fu Hua exaggerated the matter and made it look like he was that terrible.


    Old Mr. Guanined terribly in the court, and Fu Hua told him that if what he did was not attempted kidnapping, what else was he trying to do.


    Old Guan was tongue-tied and didn¡¯t know what else to say. He couldn¡¯t say before the whole court that he ¡®guided¡¯ Jia Li to the hospital because he wanted to take a DNA test to confirm if she was his son¡¯s daughter.


    If he said that, it would still be a crime because Jia Li did not agree to the test, and she wasn¡¯t informed either. She was forced to go to the hospital.


    Also, this would cause old matters to rise, after all, his son had raped Jia Li¡¯s mother, Huang Li.


    Although there was no one to prove that apart from his son, and that would be if he changed his mind and confessed, he wouldn¡¯t want to spread his dirty linen outside.


    Even if Jia Li decided to drag Guang Mu to court and sue him for raping her mother, it wouldn¡¯t be weird, given how the Guan family was trying to get a DNA test done to confirm if she was biologically rted to Guang Mu.


    No matter what the reason was, and who would win that case, Old Guang didn¡¯t want the matter to escte, but he still refused to ept the kidnapping ims Fu Hua made.


    Atst, the case was judged. A restraining order was given.


    The Guang family should stay far away from Jia Li and can onlye close to her or at intervals with her if she withdraws the retraining order.


    If the rule was broken, they would all face serious consequences for it.


    Old Guang was given 1-month ofmunity service and was asked to pay a fine.


    Since no injury was inflicted on Jia Li, and no physical force was used on her, nothing more than this punishment was given.


    This whole going to court was kept away from the public to continue protecting the 2 families¡¯ prestige.


    The main point in it was that Fu Hua didn¡¯t want any drama to be associated with the Fu family, and he wanted to protect Jia Li.


    Imagine what would happen if that kind of news about her paternity got out in public, or the kidnapping because of the DNA test, or her mother being raped?


    Jia Li would not be able to face the world any time soon, and things might go wrong given how soft-hearted she was, and her current state, so every decision Fu Hua made was for her benefit.


    He put her first before any other person.

 Chapter 787 Jia Li struggles, the Fu family worries

    <h4>Chapter 787 Jia Li struggles, the Fu family worries</h4>


    FJ¡¯s fashion show came and passed smoothly, but not without the public raising questions about Jia Li and Fu Juan as. they were the only two family members that were missing on those days the fashion showsted.


    The media attention was really on the two of them as they had always graced the asion no matter what.


    The interest was high on Jia Li¡¯s side because she was Fu Hua¡¯s wife, a designer at FJ, and also, three pieces of her work appeared on the runway, but she was nowhere to be found.


    Some people began to specte if she was actually pregnant because since Lanying made that blog, no Fu family member confirmed or denied it, and they all ignored it, so now people are starting to think if the news was really genuine.


    Others thought that Jia Li must have fallen ill, and couldn¡¯t make it to the show, while a lesser number of people spected that things might have fallen out of ce for the couple.


    It¡¯s been long since they shared a loving post, and more so, it¡¯s been a longer time since Jia Li posted anything on her social media pages, hence that ridiculous spection.


    If the attention on Jia Li wasn¡¯t too much, Fu Hua wouldn¡¯t have thought about giving public notice. It¡¯s just that, it wasn¡¯t just mere fans trying to know how Jia Li was doing, but the interest of other public people was a concern, so he had no choice.


    Fu Hua released a statement that he and Jia Li were still together and nothing was going to tear them apart. He also said that the reason Jia Li couldn¡¯t make throughout the few days the fashion showsted was because she was pregnant and felt a little under the weather.


    As for how far long she was gone during her pregnancy, or when they were expecting their second child, and its gender, Fu Hua and the rest of the family ignored it.


    But this was good news to everyone who had the best interest of Jia Li¡¯s existence and living. They were happy to learn that she was happy and many of them flooded her DM¡¯s despite knowing they wouldn¡¯t get any response.


    So many congrattory messages came from many family friends and fans of the Fu family. Many of them sent gifts and cards to congratte Jia Li and Fu Hua and to also wish them a safe delivery.


    This news was big and covered almost the important aspect of FJ¡¯s fashion show, but it looks like FJ was still able to draw attention back to the show that passed a few days ago.


    Now that this much attention was on Jia Li, not many of them remembered to ask about Fu Juan again, still, the Fu family released a statement concerning her, as they didn¡¯t want that attention on Fu Juan anymore, so it was best to settle the matter once and for all.


    The Fu family said that Fu Juan was doing a secret humanitarian service, and she would be away for a few years.


    The Fu Juan that was doing humanitarian service, was serving her jail term in the military.


    She could hardly keep her dignified aura anymore. Her skin has tanned and she didn¡¯t look like a member of the Fu family.


    Fu Lei made sure to investigate her husband¡¯s ident and after she was found guilty, a military punishment was given to her.


    Her crime could easily pass for attempted murder, but because she had no intention of that from the start, and the people she contracted also confessed the same thing, not much sentence was given to her, but Fu Lei made sure no pity was granted to her.


    Since Fu Juan was locked up at the military base, no one hade to visit her apart from the time Fu Lei came with the divorce papers.


    As for the court issues rted to the divorce papers, the Fu family settled it themselves.


    Fu Juan has not been able to see her daughter Lanying. She has never asked for her since she was locked up, as she was still angry with her.


    The two of them were locked up in the same ce but have never demanded to see each other, who knows what their rtionship would be like in the future.


    Just as Fu Juan was doing hardbor, Lanying was also going through the same plight because Fu Hua said she intentionally harmed Jasmine, so her crime was rted to that of an ¡®attempted murder¡¯


    As these two women were having a hard time at the military base, the rest of the family was having a good time.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua¡¯s wedding anniversary came and passed without a celebration because Jia Li was not feeling herself.


    A baby shower was held for her with only her 3 close friends in attendance, plus the younger generation (Meixu¡¯s generation) of the Fu family members in attendance.


    The party was held in the Fu residence, and it was a short party at that.


    The Fu siblings, FangSu and Meixu wanted Jia Li to have a good time even though it was a little difficult for her, so they made sure the party was held.


    The entire time, Jia Li was sitting and smiling at them, but when she felt her feet swelling, she would stand up to walk around with her two hands supporting her waist.


    Since thest days of her eight-month of pregnancy, Fu Hua has not touched her and he has not asked her to help him get off, because he too had lost his sexual urges.


    Seeing his wife¡¯s big stomach and all her struggles was enough reason for him to lose every urge. Nothing arouses him, even when he sees her naked body.


    He was far too worried about her struggles to think of anything.


    Seeing her naked body, reminded him of all her struggles as a pregnant mother. Her body transformation in thest few weeks was something he could not exin.


    She added much weight, which ording to the doctor was normal, her face and feet were swollen and she was overly sensitive, so how could he continue to have carnal thoughts?

 Chapter 788 Inducing labor

    <h4>Chapter 788 Inducingbor</h4>


    Jia Li¡¯s parents¡¯ death anniversary came and passed without her making a trip back to her hometown.


    She had to be in good health for her to make that trip.


    Jia Li was not in your condition to move about, and these days, it was difficult for her to understand herself.


    The back pain was too much to bear, and her Yoga coach couldn¡¯t help much anymore. But she was there to help her get through most of her pains by giving her deep massages, and teaching Fu Hua how to relieve her of her back pains at night.


    On Jia Li¡¯s delivery date, no connection was felt, but they still went to the hospital for a checkup.


    The doctor told examined her and said that everything was alright.


    ¡±It looks like your son and daughter are still enjoying themselves in the womb.¡± The do for said with a smile.


    Fu Hua smiled at her joke, but not even a smirk was seen on Jia Li¡¯s face. She didn¡¯t find the news funny.


    ¡±Is there anything I can do you get them out as soon as possible just before I lose my mind?¡± Jia Li asked.


    Her question brought Fu Hua and the doctor back to reality. It reminded them of how many struggles she has been passing through in thest few weeks.


    The doctor quicklyposed herself and said, ¡°S*x is a good method.¡±


    Jia Li and Fu Hua stared at the doctor with disinterest, and she noticed what their gazes meant.


    It looks like they are not in the condition for that activity.¡¯


    Jia Li would have red at the doctor if she didn¡¯t still have self-respect in the back of her mind. Who was in the mood for that kind of activity?


    She had lost interest in it for a long time that she didn¡¯t even remember whenst she had s*x or had an orgasm.


    ¡±Alright, s*x is not the only way, there are other methods. Exercise, nipple stimtion, Acupuncture, Acupressure, castor oil, eating dates.¡±


    As the doctor listed the other natural options to inducebor, she exined them one after the other.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua were very interested in the Castor oil option and asked me about it. The doctor exined more to them, and they both agreed to use that method.


    The doctor called a nurse in and asked her to purchase a particr brand of castor oil for them and even went the extra mile to write the name of the brand down.


    When the nurse came back with the castor oil, the doctor exined how Jia Li should take it. She rmended for her to take 1-2 ounces (29.57-59.14 ml) first because the castor oil was very effective and so not too much quantity of it should be taken.


    Castor oil stimtes prostandin release, which can help ripen the cervix and getbor started.


    ¡±When you take this today, wait and watch. If you see at changes, make sure to give me a call.¡± The doctor advised.


    ¡±So we can go back?¡± Fu Hua asked.


    ¡±Yes, you can.¡± The doctor said with a smile.


    Jia Li and Fu Hua thanked the do for before leaving together.


    Getting back home, all Jia Li wanted to do was bathe, eat and sleep. She almost forgot that she still had a little daughter.


    After asking about Jasmine and making sure she news fine, she took the castor oil and had her bath, ate, and went to sleep.


    That day, there were not many changes, except that she started to experience early signs ofbor. When she spoke to the doctor the next day, she asked her not to take the castor oil that day, and that she should continue to keep an eye on the signs she was experiencing.


    The following day, it looked like her system had returned to normal, so the doctor came to check her by herself.


    After the checkup, she personally measured the quantity of the castor oil before giving it to her to drink that mining.


    That evening, the entire Fu family was restless because of Jia Li, because she was going intobor soon.


    The signs ofbor was was no longer faint, so they could hear her crying while pacing up and down the house with her hand on her waist.


    Finally, the doctor called them in when she felt that her cervix should have dted enough and ready forbor.


    ¡±Bring her in,¡± She said to Fu Hua over the phone.


    Thankfully, the car was ready, and Jia Li¡¯s bag has already been packed by Fu Hee, so everything went smoothly.


    When Jasmine saw that her mother who was crying earlier was being taken away, she started to cry as well and hugged her father¡¯s leg.


    ¡±Where are you taking mummy to?¡± The little girl cried while holding unto her father¡¯s leg tightly.


    Fu Hua could easily pry off her hands, but he didn¡¯t want to. He was also in a hurry to drive Jia Li to the hospital, but he still had to take it easy with his little girl.


    ¡±I¡¯m taking mummy to the hospital, she is about to give birth to your little brother and little sister. Don¡¯t dy me okay?¡±


    ¡±Is that why mummy has been crying?¡± Jasmine asked with her big round innocent eyes. She was still clutching onto her father¡¯s leg tightly.


    ¡±Yes. Don¡¯t you want to see your younger siblings?¡± Fu Hua asked.


    ¡±I want to see them, please take me along?¡± Jasmine requested.


    Then no matter how Fu Hua and the others tried to convince her, she decided to listen, so Fu Hua had no choice but to take her along.


    Quickly, Jia Li was taken to the hospital in thepany of her husband, daughter, mother-inw, sister-inw, and Jasmine¡¯s nanny.


    Five bodyguards also came along in two different cars.


    Throughout the whole journey to the hospital, Jia Li could hardly sit in a ce. She lost herposure several times and almost pulled her clothes off her body. But thankfully, Fu Hee and FangSu who were sitting beside her stopped her.

 Chapter 789 Threatening their unborn babies

    <h4>Chapter 789 Threatening their unborn babies</h4>


    Jia Li seemed to get herself a bit when they arrived at the hospital, but it was only for a brief moment.


    Before they arrived at the hospital, thebor room has already been prepared, so immediately after their car pulled over in front of the hospital the nurses used a stretcher to carry Jia Li away, while the rest followed.


    Jia Li¡¯s doctor examined her to check how the babies were doing, their position in the bomb, and Jia Li¡¯s cervix dtion.


    When Jia Li was fully intobor, she was taken into the room and helped onto the bed, and it was then that Fu Hua stepped in, because he wanted to be with her.


    This was their second child, but this pregnancy was different because they were having twins. In order to give her moral support, he went in there with her.


    Jasmine again wanted to follow them, but FangSu was smart to distract her and quickly carried her away.


    In thebor room...


    ¡±Push at the count of 3...¡± The doctor said to Jia Li with a calm demeanor, while looking between her face and her searched region.


    Fu Hua was holding one of her arms, while another nurse was holding the other.


    An oxygen mask was fixed on her nose, her eyes were teary and her cheeks were stained with tears.


    At that count, Jia Li tried pushing with all her might, and while doing that, she was applying pressure on the hands of the people holding her.


    Worry filled Fu Hua¡¯s heart as he watched his parking wife struggle to push out their babies. In his heart, there was never going to be a next time.


    ¡±Doctor, why is there no movement after 2 hours?¡± Fu Hua asked an hourter.


    He was almost drenched in sweat, and Jia Li was lying on the bed was no different. Another nurse had to keep tapping away the sweat and tears on her face every 5 minutes.


    Fu Hua was very worried because he was afraid of his wife and children being in danger. The total time they have spent in that room is three hours and thirty (3 hrs, 30 mins) minutes, so he was bound to be worried.


    The doctor shook her head and checked the monitor before saying, ¡°The babies are fighting, hence the reason for the dy.¡±


    Fu Hua was shocked when he heard what the doctor said. Like, what did she mean by that? What does she mean by that the babies were fighting, was that even possible?


    ¡±Doctor, what do you mean by that?¡± Fu Hua asked wig a confused gaze mixed with worry.


    The doctor sighed, ¡°The twins are fighting for who toe out first. If they keep fighting like this for the next 30 minutes, we would have to carry out a CS. Your wife is getting weak.¡±


    Fu Hua has never heard of this before, and he looked more shocked than before. As for Jia Li who wasying on the bed and was taking deep breaths on a small break, she didn¡¯t look surprised, probably because she already had an idea of something like this.


    ¡±Is there a need to fight when they are both going to be born on the same day? it¡¯s not like they are fighting for territory! Are they seeing the struggle their mother is going through to bring them into this world?!¡± Fu Hua looked very annoyed as he said that to the doctor.


    If there wasn¡¯t a situation like this, the doctors and the nurses would haveughed at him, including Jia Li. His words were very funny.


    The doctor smiled a little and said, ¡°It¡¯s not like they know what they are doing. The gate is open and they can see the light at the end of the toad, and it so happens that they are making a beeline for it at the same time. None of them is trying to give the other a chance.¡±


    Fu Hua felt like he was hearing a story being told to him. How could babies in the womb be fighting for who wille out first? That was hrious!


    ¡±Doctor, how much longer can I wait? I think I might pass out again soon. 30 minutes is too much. Please 15 minutes is fine by me, if they don¡¯t want toe out the normal way, let¡¯s go for a C-section.¡± Jia Li said weakly.


    She was so tired that she didn¡¯t have anything to say to her children to make one of them give up for the other toe out first.


    Where she was, she was trying really hard to contain her anger. Imagine the effort and struggles she was going through to deliver them, and they were busy fighting for who woulde out first.


    If Jia Li had her way, she would have caned them and chased them out.


    The doctor heard her and nced at Fu Hua, while the assisting doctor checked her and the babies vitals.


    ¡±Their vitals are okay. Blood pressure and heart rate are normal.¡±


    ¡±Okay, let¡¯s try to push one more time,¡± The doctor said to Jia Li.


    Fu Hua had to stop them as he had something to say to the children that were unknowingly being stubborn in the womb.


    Everyone thought he was going to use a soft voice and cate them while whispering sweet words to them, but he surprised them by threatening them.


    ¡±An Na, Kai, if you can hear me, just know that you are about to be taken out the hard way. If you don¡¯t stop giving your mother a hard time, I will spank you after youe out! You better be a good daughter and son and do the needful!¡±


    Jia Li was left speechless and could help to snatch her hand from the nurse¡¯s grip and hit Fu Hua with it.


    Jia Li forgot that she was also thinking of spanking the kids with a cane if she had her way, and had to hit Fu Hua because she found his threats ridiculous.


    The doctors and nurses smiled when they saw their little interaction.


    Fu Hua didn¡¯tin after being hit and instead felt that he had gone overboard.


    Somehow, Fu Hua¡¯s words worked. the babies stopped fighting and paused for over 2 minutes without movement as if they were giving each other a chance to swim out first.


    There was no movement from any of thr babies for over 2 minutes but finally at the end, one of them made a run for it.


    And soon, Jia Li was screaming and trying her best to push out the first baby.


    Ten minutester, the cry of the baby was heard and tears of joy threatened to drop at the corner of Fu Hua¡¯s eyes.


    ¡±Your baby boy is here!¡± The doctor said with a big smile on her face as we quickly cut off the umbilical corn and tired the remaining before handing the baby over to one of the nurses, so she could clean her, and then went back to help Jia Li deliver her second baby.

 Chapter 790 Jasmine’s love for her younger ones

    <h4>Chapter 790 Jasmine''s love for her younger ones</h4>


    The baby girl was handed over to the nurse to clean up after the umbilical cord was cut off, and the rest tied.


    While the babies were being weighed and clothed, the doctor injected Jia Li so her womb contract and deliver the centa.


    To Fu Hee, FangSu and Jasmine, it was taken ages for them to hear anything from the people that went inside the delivery room.


    Jasmine kept asking about her mother and when she could see her. The little girl almost forgot that she was getting twin siblings at the moment.


    Her only worry was her mother, as she couldn''t seem to get the image of her crying, out of her head.


    When Fu Hee was about to knock on the door after she has exhausted her patience, the doors opened and the doctor came out smiling.


    Instinctively, they knew it was good news. And they leaped for joy after the news of the twins'' delivery was broken to them.


    The sound of a cry from the baby girl was heard as the doctor quickly announced hering. "Your beautiful baby girl is here!"


    Tears flooded Jia Li''s eyes, and she couldn''t help letting them out. She burst into tears and covered her face with her hands.


    Atst, her babies were out, and she had regained her freedom.


    Fu Hua also felt emotional after watching Jia Li cry. He took a fresh handkerchief from his pocket and used it to wipe her face when he got the chance, and then pecked her lips.


    "Congrattions, we did it!" He whispered to her ears softly.


    "Mrs. Fu, your son is here, and your daughter is on her way, when I ask you to push, please do that immediately. I know you are very tired, but you can do this!"


    Fu Hua wanted to steal a nce at his son who was crying while being cleaned, but the doctor''s voice brought his attention back to his wife.


    With gritted teeth, Jia Li pushed out her second baby. Her baby girl came out with only a swift move, without causing many struggles.


    Fu Hua came out a minuteter carrying the babies he had threatened earlier, in his arms, and with unconcealed happiness on his face.


    Fu Hee and the rest wanted to rush to him, but the doctor asked them to stay back and that he woulde to them.


    Jasmine stared wide-eyed at the little bundles of joy in her father''s arms as she watched him work towards her.


    Fu Hua squat in front of Jasmine and showed the babies to her. "Princess, meet your little brother, Kai, and little sister, An Na."


    There was a wowed cueing from Jasmine while watching her little siblings sucking their fingers hungrily and staring at their father.


    "Wow! Daddy, can I touch them?" Jasmine asked with an expectant gaze on her father. Her siblings looked so small and cute, and she so desperately wanted to touch them.


    "Yes, you can go ahead, but be gentle," Fu Hua said with a warm smile.


    With that encouraging smile from her father, Jasmine moved a finger from each hand towards her babies faces. Immediately her small fingers came in contact with their cheeks, she retracted them immediately andughed happily.


    "Wow! They are so soft!" The little girl said happily with a big smile on her face.


    Having enjoyed touching her younger ones, she remembered her mother and asked about her.


    "Daddy, where is mummy?"


    "Mummy will be out soon,e, let''s go to the room to wait for her." Fu Hua said as he got up with the twins in his arms.


    It was only when they got to the VIP room, that Fu Hua agreed to let his mother and sister hold the babies.


    Jasmine was not left behind, she demanded to hold the babies as well.


    Some minutester, Jia Li was wheeled into the room with her eyes closed. She seemed to be in a deep sleep, so others could only talk in hushed voices.


    Jasmine walked up to her mother''s bedside to nce at her, but she was a little disappointed that she couldn''t see her face properly, but luckily, Fu Hua came to her side and lifted her, so she could have a good look at her mother.


    "Mummy is tired, when the wakes up, you can speak to her." Fu Hua whispered to her.


    When the rest of the Fu family members got the news of the birth of the twins, they all made their way over, including Grandfather Fu.


    The old man was so happy and excited that his blood pressure rose, but he couldn''t care less.


    Fu ChuHua cooked a big pot of soup and various dishes just for Jia Li. When they all came over, Jia Li was already awake, breastfeeding the children.


    ched his small mouth on her left nipple, while the othertched her small mouth on her right nipple and sucked hungrily.


    Jasmine who was gazing at the babies couldn''t help but ask, "Why are they eating so fast? Grandma said it''s not good to eat so fast!"


    Everyone in the roomughed out loud, but someone had to exin to the little girl that just became a big sister.


    "Da Xia, they are eating so fast, because they are very hungry." Fu Hee exined to her.


    Two dayster, Jia Li and the babies were discharged after some tests were carried out to make sure that she and the babies were fine.


    Jasmine was really a good older sister from the moment her younger ones were born, and it looked like she understood the assignment and responsibilities.


    She was always helping her mother to bring the diapers and wipes each time she wanted to change them.


    When her younger ones cried, she wouldfort them by patting their arms gently and singing to them, just as she learned from her mother.


    When they learned how to sit and would grab anything theyid their hands on, she would caution them before snatching it away from their hands.


    Kai and An Na would end up gazing at her strangely with their hands in their mouth and wouldugh each time she took things away from them.


    Jasmine also helped to bottle feed her younger ones and would read stories to them when they wereying down peacefully.


    When the twins learned to take their first step, Jasmine was there for them. She would take their hands and walk a few steps with each of them and would end up perspiring at the end.


    After learning to walk fully, the twins would always run to wee Jasmine each time she came home from school. They were always so happy to see her.


    When the twins had eyes on a particr toy and ended up crying and fighting for it, Jasmine woulde in to solve the issue, but each time she failed, she would sigh tiredly and ask for her mother or father''s help.


    In all, Jasmine was the best older sister to her younger siblings, and still, everyone''s favorite.


    During FangSu''s big wedding that made it to various media outlets, Jasmine yed the role of a little bride, while her younger siblings who hadn''t learned how to walk at that time, were dressed and stayed in their parent''s arms.

 Chapter 791 The most Jealous husband of the century

    <h4>Chapter 791 The most Jealous husband of the century</h4>


    After the time that Jia Li gave birth, Fu Hua posted about a safe delivery, but never mentioned how many babies Jia Li had, and their gender.


    The media only found out about Jia Li having twins when thru saw the exclusive interview she had with VOGUE China.


    They were shocked and congratted her while asking to see the babies.


    Jia Li and the babies stayed hidden until FangSu''s wedding day, but the faces of the twins were not captured, so the media only got to see their faces at their first birthday party.


    Meixu gave birth to her first child 2 months after the twins'' birthday celebration.


    ***************************


    Three yearster...


    There was a big frown on Fu Hua''s face while gazing at Jia Li. His facial expression was as dark as charcoal and his aura, icy. Still, it couldn''t stop Jia Li from putting on that dress.


    "Why are you being so stubborn?! Did I design this dress for you to wear it?" Fu Hua said with a dark expression on his face.


    Today was FJ Style''s Anniversary, and he had been shocked when he saw the dress Jia Li was putting on. At first, he thought she was teasing him, but things went downhill when he asked her to remove the dress, and she refused.


    Jia Li was putting on a sexy dress that exposed the middle of her chest, showing a little part of her boobs.


    There was an opening from her neck, and down to her waist, and the front part of her legs exposed her thigh.


    Fu Hua couldn''t imagine the number of eyes that would be staring at his wife''s sexy body at the event, and he was already having a big headache and nning on how to gouge the eyes of anyone whose sight would linger on her chest.


    "You didn''t say I couldn''t buy this dress either!" Fu Hua said when she finished applying her red lipstick and smacked her lips.


    "That''s because I didn''t know you were going to purchase it! Can you see how sexily dressed you are? Everyone would not hesitate to devour you with their eyes. How can you have the heart of showcasing my property in public?" Fu Hua asked with a bitter expression on his face.


    "Your property?" Jia Li said with a smirk as she got up from her stool and turned to nce at him. Then she leaned into his ear and said with a tinge of seduction in her tone, "My boobs belong to me, but I only let you touch, squeeze and suck them during lovemaking. Make me take off my dress if you can!"


    Fu Hua''s brows tightened in a frown as he felt a certain part of his body heat up while staring at that provocative smile on her face.


    "You don''t know what you have done!" He said in a dangerous tone. And before she could provoke him more, he pulled her to the couch and made her kneel on it, with her back facing him.


    Next, he unbuckled his belt and zipped down his trouser before lifting her dress. Seeing that ck thong underneath the ck waist-high stockings, his member became fully erected.


    "Fu Hua, can we do this when wee back, we are going to bete!" Jia Li cried out as she tried to turn around, but he forced her back into position.


    Fu Hua answered her by shredding her stocking with his hands and pushing her thong to one side of her butt, before sliding into her and banging her brains out.


    The funny thing was that after such an intense activity of being banged till she screamed his name many times, she changed into another stocking and winked at him.


    Fu Hua could only re at her before taking her hand and stepping out of the walk-in closet.


    At the event venue, all eyes were immediately fixed on Jia Li and Fu Hua when they made an entrance. A good percentage of men present, had their gazes on her chest, while the women wondered how Fu Hua let his once innocent wife,e out wearing such a provocative dress.


    Fu Hua felt the gazes of everyone on his wife and felt like taking their eyes.


    Standing by Jia Li''s side, while holding her hand and refusing to let go with that defensive aura around him, no one who approached them to greet them, dared to linger their gazes on her chest.


    "Jia Li?" A bright male voice called out as he approached the husband and wife from behind.


    Hearing her name, Jia Li and Fu Hua turned their backs to see the person that just called out to her. When they turned, they were surprised to see the one person who seemed to have disappeared from their sight for a long time.


    That person was no other person than, Jia Li''s first love, Huan Li.


    Huan Li looked so handsome and mature as he appeared in front of their eyes.


    "Brother Huan!" Jia Li called out with a surprised gaze at him. She was surprised to see him, and how much he has changed over the years.


    Seeing him, she couldn''t even remember whenst they spoke and saw each other, it''s been more than 5 years.


    Huan Li spread out his hands a little with a loving smile on his face to hug her, but the angry Fu Hua immediately took Jia Li''s hands and made her face him, and then pretended to be adjusting her clothes.


    Jia Li was a little embarrassed when he did that because she knew a great number of people in that room were watching them.


    When Fu Hua pretended to be adjusting her dress, just now, his fingers caressed the part of her boobs that was visible, and Huan Li''s sight caught it.


    Fu Hua was very annoyed when he felt Huan Li''s gaze on Jia Li''s chest, such that he couldn''t help showing it on his face.


    Turning to nce at him, he asked, "Mr. Huan, it''s been a while. Did youe with your girlfriend, why don''t you introduce her to us?"


    ''How could he ask that kind of question?'' Jia Li thought with an embarrassed gaze at Huan Li.


    She immediately squeezed Fu Hua''s hand in a bid to stop him there.


    Instead of getting offended, Huan Li smiled and said with a loving gaze at Jia Li, "I''m very single and sessful. Over the years, I have been unable to meet any woman that makes my heart beat like the woman I first loved!"


    ''Danger!'' That was what Jia Li felt when she felt Fu Hua''s aura change.


    Fu Hua''s left hand was already curled in a fist and ready to hit that smile off Huan Li''s face, but Jia Li who knew how furious he was, calmed him down by squeezing his hand.


    She was confused and didn''t know why Huan Li would think of provoking Fu Hua at the first meeting after a few years.


    Fu Hua tried hard to hold back his anger and said with a cold gaze, "Mr. Huan, it''s not good to dwell on the past, and that must be what has blinded you from seeing properly!"


    As he said that, Jia Li quickly tugged at his arm and pulled him away before a fight would break out.


    "Brother Huan, please enjoy your night."


    The next day, many media outlets, published the photos of Fu Hua when he stopped Huan Li from hugging Jia Li with the caption,


    ''The most jealous partner of the century''


    ck lines appeared on Fu Hua''s forehead when he saw that caption, and he felt like strangling someone to death.
