Chapter 112 - Extrely Picky Cat
His soft lips had just touched her neck when, the next mont, the phone rang out loud in the silent apartnt spiling the peace.
"I win!" Jing Lihua didn't wait to push him off while he had his guard down. She imdiately got the blindfold off her face and blinked a couple of tis to adjust her vision. She finally felt alive again. With a big smile, she looked at Li Zhiqiang. Her smile dropped when she saw his irritated expressions. "This is unfair. It's not my fault you lost. Why are you getting all moody? You should have expected it before challenging ." She was puffed up. And why shouldn't she be? It took her all to keep silent.
She actually defeated the great 'Devil'! The event was worth a celebration!
"Silence. No one defeated no one." Li Zhiqiang was glaring at his phone like it had murdered his whole family.
"What do you an?" Jing Lihua looked at the phone and her face paled.
"The bastard must have a good reason to call or otherwise I'm going to make his life a living Hell!" Li Zhiqiang picked up the phone while Jing Lihua slouched down on the couch. She had just gotten a glimpse of the tir. It had only been one minute.
She couldn't believe it. It felt like an eternity. In the darkness, enveloped by him the ti passed so slowly. This Devil was the master of psychological tricks.
"Speak." Li Zhiqiang's cold voice broke her out of her mourning. Even though it wasn't directed towards her, Jing Lihua could feel the anger.
Poor Li Xun. Jing Lihua was about to remind Li Zhiqiang no to be hard on Li Xun when she saw his darkening face. Unconsciously she shuffled back and her words got caught in her throat. "Is everything okay?" Out of concern, she asked.
Li Zhiqiang cut the phone curtly. "I'll have to leave. There is so ergency." Li Zhiqiang raked his hand through his hair in frustration and rose from the couch. He looked preoccupied. And sowhat hesitant.
That was a new. The great Devil had always been sure of what to do. Nothing in this mortal realm had been able to unnerve him. And Jing Lihua knew that better than anyone. "Tell everything's alright." Jing Lihua rose and took the initiative to hold his hand. There was open concern in her eyes.
Li Zhiqiang glanced at her expressions and his heart ward up. He laughed and ruffled her hair playfully. "Everything's alright. I'm sorry if I scared you with my reaction. But I'll have to leave."
"How could everything be alright if you have to leave right now." She mumbled in a low voice. She knew he would never give up the opportunity to be with her. The 'thing' was probably more important than her to him. And she felt childishly jealous and worried.
"Hey, I promise, everything's alright." Then he returned to his flirtatious smile. "Maybe, perhaps, you can't bear the thought of parting with ? Don' worry about that Jing Jing. If you want it that bad, I can accompany every night from now on."
Jing Lihua glared. "Why would you even think that? Don't joke President Li. I'm rely worried as the President of Li Empire if sothing happens to you, it would cause a great loss to . My concerns are based on professional relationships with the business partner."
"Then do you hold hands with other business partners and ask them that everything's alright?" Li Zhiqiang laughed.
Jing Lihua imdiately let go of his hands. She couldn't believe it. Hw childish he was making her act. She was not like this around other people. he was ssing with her.
"Alright, I'll have to go. Try not to dream about during the night." Li Zhiqiang finally stopped laughing. Before he left, he grabbed her face and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.
Jing Lihua was unnerved. "Who gave you the liberty to kiss whenever you want?"
"I took the liberty myself." Li Zhiqiang laughed and with that, he left. When he was gone jing Lihua touched the spot where his lips had touched her skin. It was still tingling. Even she didn't know that she was smiling. Even if she knew, she would have denied it.
She went to her bed. The white cat was sound asleep. "Where were you when Li Zhiqiang attacked ? You were supposed to protect ." She sighed and climbed into the bed and hugged the cat, falling asleep soundly.
In the morning Jing Lihua was faced with a strange problem. A problem, she hadn't guessed she would ever face. She called i Xiu and asked. "i Xiu, do you know what cats eat?"
i Xiu was stunned on the other side. That was an unexpected question, especially from soone like her President. "Err... President isn't that sothing everyone knows?"
"Okay, let rephrase. What does an extrely picky, fussy and hard to please cat eat?" Jing Lihua had tried everything. Li Zhiqiang had ntioned between chats that the white cat could be a little hard to handle sotis. But that was a serious understatent.
"President have you tried standard cat food they sell in the markets?" i Xiu was still puzzled.
"Do I look like a fool? Of course, I did that! It failed that's why I called you." Jing Lihua couldn't understand why her usually wise secretary was being so foolish. She shook her head in desolation.
"And did the cat not even sniff it?"
Jing Lihua looked at the ss the white cat had created in the kitchen. "Contrary to that, she felt as if she was being slighted for being fed commoner food and did a nice job with the food." Jing Lihua chuckled. So feisty. She liked feisty things. But that cat had to be tad. Only for today, she would spoil it as their first day.
"Eh? President, what did the cat do?" i Xiu had herself not much of an experience with pets. But she tried to be the best help to her President she could.
"She pooped into the food bowl."
i Xiu. "..."
