The Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO

Chapter 189 - ...if That's All You Got

After dealing with the Bai family, Grandfather Fu only felt satisfied after he got back home. He immediately called Jia Li to placate 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 glancing at her, then he fixed his gaze back on his work. action

"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 huge company 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 would come 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, how come I can't remember?" Fu Hua asked with a confused gaze.

Jia Li finally came to the conclusion that she had to placate 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 accept 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 glanced 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 glare 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.
